Picking up the walkie-talkie on the ground again, Lu Ding said, "The heart has been put in."
"Okay, Lu Yi is ready and waiting for you." Lu Jia's reply came from the intercom.
Lu Ding nodded slightly, put the walkie-talkie on his waist, and walked towards the hard-scaled slug corpse.
Before entering the corpse, he took one last look at the feeding system not far away.
The columnar object that almost filled the entire space before continued to bulge, and now all the gaps have been blocked.
Under the influence of the blood and rain, the nutrients of the entire flora began to be transported in the reverse direction, continuously gathering towards the heart.
"It's time to come back."
After muttering something silently, Lu Ding took a deep breath and crawled into the hard-scaled slug's body again.
Not long after he crawled into the hard-scaled slug, a rustling sound of electricity came from the walkie-talkie in Lu Jia's hand.
"Count down, one minute, do it."
Lu Ding's short and vague voice came from inside. This time Lu Jia didn't reply, but just nodded to Lu Yi beside him.
With the short knife drawn out, Lu Yi aimed at the beating bacterial brain.
Lu Jia, on the other hand, stared at the watch on his wrist.
When the time is up, Lu Yi and Lu Ding will use their swords at the same time to destroy the bacterial brain.
One minute passed quickly. When the second hand pointed at twelve on the dial, Lu Yi stabbed hard with his knife!
Two bacterial brains located at different locations were penetrated at the same time, completely destroyed!
"Done!"
Lu Yi screamed excitedly, but did not withdraw the knife, letting it stay stuck in his head.
As soon as the excited words landed, the surrounding rhythmic carpet changed again.
The dark red blood vessels swelled more and more, but the surrounding yellow fungi began to shrink rapidly, as if they had been drained of energy.
Even the corpse of the slug lying on the ground began to gradually wither, and all the nutrients in the body were absorbed, leaving only the outer layer of scales with a metallic luster.
"It's so fast. Fortunately, it only absorbs bacteria from the flora. If we sucked in a living person as well, we would probably have to turn into humans in an instant..."
Lu Yi jumped down from the corpse, smacked his tongue and sighed.
"Okay, can you die if you stop talking for a while? Let's go meet Lu Ding."
Lu Jia rolled his eyes at the talkative man again and walked straight towards where he came from without any intention of waiting for him.
Apart from the shrinkage of the surrounding bacteria carpet, they did not encounter any threats along the way. The two of them worked together and quickly returned to the location of the bacteria feeding system.
Lu Ding had already crawled out of the hard-scaled slug. When Lu Jia and the others arrived, they were shining their flashlight on the columnar object in front of them.
"How's it going? Is the remodeling process going well?"
Lu Jia quickly glanced at the bulging columnar object and asked.
"It went smoothly, faster than expected." Lu Ding responded calmly, with no sadness or joy in his words.
"Hey, it must be fast. It has only been a while since Lu Jia and I came here. The thick carpet on the ground is almost gone. The fungi with twin bacterial brains are like cows..."
Lu Yi added excitedly.
Although he didn't like Lu Yi's talkative behavior, Lu Jia felt much better when he saw that the mission was about to be completed.
"Let's take a break. According to the rate of supply of bacteria, I estimate that it won't be long before the body is reshaped."
"That's right, let him wear this suit when the time comes."
Just when Lu Yi finished speaking, the three people's hearts trembled, and they suddenly felt like they were being watched.
The first one to react was Lu Ding. He drew his knife with one hand and cast his gaze into the darkness in the distance.
Then came Lu Jia, loudly reminding Lu B to be careful.
Only three whooshing sounds were heard, and three light yellow beams were shot out from the darkness that could not be seen clearly. Two of them were dodged by Lu Jia and Lu Ding who reacted in time, and were nailed to the cement wall behind, while the third one hit It hit Lu Yi's shoulder and penetrated directly, splattering a lot of blood!
"ah!"
Lu Yi's shoulder hurt and he couldn't help but howl out, while Lu Jia and Lu Yi cursed angrily, and a word popped out of their mouths.
"General-level zombies!"
"Oh, oh, oh, really... Who do I think is so brave and dares to cause trouble under my nose? It turns out to be you little mice..."
Under the white light of a flashlight, a man walked out of the darkness, wearing a neat suit, with everything from the collar to the trouser legs neatly tidied.
Seeing the face of the visitor clearly, Lu Jia and Lu Ding's pupils shrank sharply.
"Qin Tian!" "Hey, I didn't expect that I am quite famous among your human race. Really, I feel a little embarrassed..."
A smile appeared on Qin Tian's face, and his steps remained unhurried and showed no intention of stopping.
Not long after he walked out of the darkness, another strange creature followed behind him.
The toad has a head with protruding eyes and protruding mouth. The deformed body is full of bulging muscles and yellowish bone spurs piercing the body surface. It has two legs and four hands, a high chest, and a hollow mouthpart that keeps expanding in the center. .
It is not difficult to see that most of the light yellow cone thorns that flew earlier were shot from this mouthpart.
Looking at Qin Tian who was getting closer, Lu Jia and Lu Ding quickly exchanged glances.
What can be done now is to delay as much time as possible.
"Lu Yi, how are you?"
Lu Jia shouted low, but did not turn his head back, still staring at Qin Tian in front of him.
"Damn...it hurts, boss..."
Lu Yi's voice was weak and sounded seriously injured.
"Cheer up, maybe we're going to die here!"
Lu Jia couldn't care less about Lu Yi's condition at the moment. Seeing that the mission was about to be completed, he couldn't fall short at this critical moment!
"Damn, are you going to die here... That kid Lu Bing is really lucky..."
There were complaints from behind, and Lu Yi seemed to have struggled to get up from the ground.
"Boss, you and Lu Ding go ahead. If that ghost wants to destroy the feeding system, he must first step over my body!"
Maybe Lu Yi's words were a bit harsh, or maybe the general-level zombies across from him listened carefully. In short, after he finished speaking these heroic words, Qin Tian's smile became even happier.
"Really, three little mice, do you really think you can hold me back? Is it one minute, or fifty seconds?"
Before the last word was spoken, three more sounds came from the underground parking lot.
The previous cone thorns were shot at quickly, and their target was the feeding system hanging under the ceiling.
Lu Jia and Lu Ding wanted to block it with their swords, but the incident happened suddenly and they were far away, so they couldn't catch up.
Just when the two of them thought that the thorns were about to destroy the sustenance system, Lu Yi, who had an injured shoulder, jumped out and directly used his own body as a shield to catch the three incoming thorns...
