Fear of food

Chapter 146 The Second Qualitative Change in the Safe House
The source of the pollution was found in the haunted house attraction at Jinghai Amusement Park.

Moreover, it's a Class A pollution source!

In the area they had just explored, Chen Qi also discovered several sources of pollution, but they were all of a low level, so he did not collect them.

Jinghai Amusement Park is classified as a Class A pollution zone, and Class A pollution sources are the highest level and the only pollution sources in the area.

That is precisely Chen Qi's goal for this trip!

A-level pollution sources can create realistic illusions. Chen Qi, who has experience with such things, knows that as soon as you step into a haunted house, you will inevitably be drawn into the haunted house-themed illusion.

He didn't want to fight the ghosts and monsters in the illusion, and there was no need for it anyway.

Once the source of pollution is located, it can be collected directly.

An invisible vortex appeared above Chen Qi's head. He looked up and saw the entrance to the safe house that only he could see.

The immense suction force swept directly toward the source of pollution, and the infected people who were eating nearby all stopped what they were doing.

They immediately turned and rushed towards Chen Qi.

They were clearly mobilized by the source of pollution to stop Chen Qi.

Chen Qi and his team had anticipated this situation and therefore made preparations accordingly.

At times like these, the "food protection mechanism" takes the highest priority, and even Chen Yongqi cannot control these people.

Coffee and the others pulled out their own non-lethal weapons, such as flashbangs and tear gas, and threw them into the crowd.

These polluters are, in the end, just ordinary people with ordinary bodies. Unable to fight off their body's instinctive reactions, they quickly develop symptoms such as blindness, tinnitus, vomiting, tearing, coughing, and headaches, rapidly losing their ability to fight.

Occasionally, a few tough survivors would sneak over, but Zhui Feng and the others could handle them.

This allowed Chen Qi to absorb the "haunted house" without any hindrance!

The difference is that after Chen Qi completed the absorption, the haunted house in Jinghai Paradise still existed, but the source of pollution disappeared.

Along with the pollution, the haunted house illusion created by the source of the pollution also disappeared.

Chen Qi understood that he had incorporated the entire haunted house illusion into his safe house.

At this point, his safe house already had a sixth amusement facility.

As Chen Qi absorbed the source of pollution, the polluters around him also retreated.

"How is it? Has your ability undergone a qualitative change? What new abilities have you gained?"

Zhui Feng and the others couldn't wait to ask.

Chen Qi closed his eyes and carefully contemplated the situation, then used his consciousness to look around his safe house, but couldn't discern anything different.

However, when he opened his eyes and looked at the empty space next to him, he had a vague feeling that came from instinct.

seem……

Chen Qi stretched out his finger and gently touched that area, and a dreamlike mini amusement park appeared out of thin air!

This amusement park is too small to be called an amusement park, but it's too big to be called a model.

But in reality, considering the amusement park's inherent shrinking rules, for those who enter, it is a genuine amusement park!
"Is this... your safe house, Cookie?"

"This looks interesting! Much more interesting than that guy's bathroom!"

"Wait... why can you summon a safe house? Did you pull us into a dream?"

"When did this happen? How come we had no idea?"

Chen Qi smiled and said, "This is not a dream."

"Not a dream? Could it be..."

Zhui Feng and the others had a guess in their minds, but they looked at Chen Qi in disbelief, as if they wanted his confirmation.

Chen Qi nodded slightly: "That's right, my second qualitative leap in ability is that I can summon a safe house in reality."

hiss……

Big Pancake gasped, "The power of the biscuit is terrifying!"

Swill objectively commented, "This ability is practically useless if given to a mirror, but if given to you, Biscuit... it's a qualitative leap!"

Chen Qi also understood that this was a qualitative improvement for his combat power!

The biggest challenge for dream thieves leaving the contaminated dream zone is that they cannot directly use the safe house.

Only by forcibly hypnotizing the enemy can you enter the dream world to fight.

Or perhaps they could sneak into the enemy's dream and launch a surprise attack while the enemy is asleep.

However, Chen Qi's ability makes up for this; he can directly summon a safe house in reality, which is equivalent to using the various abilities of a safe house in reality.

Even Menglong couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "We're invincible! We're invincible!"

"With this ability, we won't have to be afraid of the Nightmare Eaters even in their territory!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Chen Qi quickly composed himself and said to his teammates, "Next, I plan to go to Jinghai Medical College."

"Let's go together!" Zhui Feng called out and took the lead in the driver's seat.

After Chen Qi got into the car, Coffee asked, "How's the situation at Jinghai Medical College?"

Although they could also learn about the battle situation through official channels, nothing was as quick and accurate as Chen Qi's live broadcast.

Chen Qi casually said, "They're fighting right now. The Nightmare Clan currently has the advantage in numbers, and the situation is very favorable."

Chen Qi'ai tells a few little lies.

While the Nightmare Clan does have an advantage now, it's not that great.

The main reason was that Chen Qi's other body participated in the battle, putting considerable pressure on the Nightmare Clan.

Relying on his "absorption" ability and the protection of the Nightmare Eater clan, Chen Qi slaughtered his way across the battlefield, achieving victory after victory.

He basically kills anyone he absorbs from the ordinary Nightmare Clan.

Of course, this couldn't be said aloud, otherwise Menglong would definitely get upset.

Seeing that Chen Qi seemed unwilling to say more and only gave a perfunctory answer, Coffee already understood and didn't ask any more questions.
-
When Chen Qi and his group arrived near Jinghai Medical College, they found that the former college had become a ruin, with broken walls everywhere, and flesh and blood growing haphazardly, cracking the foundation and destroying the buildings.

The battle between Nightmare Eater and Nightmare was not very significant.

There was no towering flame, nor any deafening explosion.

Only the interwoven and overlapping fields of various colors, and the addition of nightmares, made the battle look somewhat eerie.

Once the nightmare leaves the dream world, it's adept at underhanded tricks: various forms of control, seduction, and hallucinations...

Moreover, the number of Nightmares in this battle far exceeded that of Nightmares.

This results in the Nightmare Parasites being controlled every three steps and every five steps during combat, making it impossible for them to move an inch, to the point that they have to split even a single piece of shit into two.

Of course, this is the general situation in the outer battlefields; the situation is quite different in the core battlefields.

There, Chen Qi, a pagan, became the focus of the conflict between the two sides.

As the main damage dealer for the Nightmare Eater side, Chen Qi was fully protected by Sun Xuechao and other high-level executives.

Meanwhile, the Nightmare Clan was determined to destroy Chen Qi, this "human cannon," at all costs. Of course, they couldn't actually destroy him, since their purpose in coming here was to capture Chen Qi. If they killed the Alien Eater Chen Qi and allowed him to be resurrected, then their operation would have lost its meaning.

Their goal was to render Chen Qi incapable of fighting, but not to kill him completely.

Only if Chen Qi falls into their hands alive can they achieve their goal.

This requires them to hold back, which significantly increases the difficulty of their actions.

Chen Qi, the alien eater, was at the peak of his strength. He had undergone two qualitative changes in his abilities and merged with the first generation of Nightmare Eater A Liang, which greatly enhanced his ability to absorb food.

The powerful first-generation Nightmare Clan's Crimson Domain already dominated the entire field in terms of rank, further enhanced by its ability to absorb energy.

Now, basically any Nightmare Clan parasite below the third generation, once they enter Chen Qi's absorption range and are locked onto by Chen Qi, have no hope of escape!
It's a one-shot kill, one-shot death!

Only third-generation Nightmare Clan parasites have the ability to escape on their own, but they are still inevitably injured.

Only second-generation Nightmare Clan parasites are capable of resisting Chen Qi's absorption.

The Nightmare Clan was only able to fight back because of their numerical advantage. They tried to rush up and control Chen Qi, but Sun Xuechao and other powerful members of the Nightmare Clan fought desperately to protect him.

The Nightmare Clan had no choice but to deal with the Nightmare-Eating Parasites protecting Chen Qi first.

For a time, the two sides were deadlocked.

However, it is foreseeable that, over time, the strength of both sides will continue to diminish.

Because of their numerical disadvantage, more and more of the Nightmare Eaters will perish at the hands of the Nightmare Clan, but in the process, Chen Qi doesn't know how many Nightmares he can devour...

The key point is that the Nightmare Eaters who died at the hands of the Nightmare Clan were simply going to be resurrected.

As for the nightmare that Chen Qi mentioned, it was truly dead!

In fact, after Chen Qi, the Pagan, sensed that Chen Qi, the Dream Thief, had arrived at Jinghai Medical College, he lost all will to continue fighting and only wanted to merge the two bodies immediately.

But now he can't get out of this predicament; he's caught in a bind.

He wanted to leave, but the Nightmare Eaters disagreed, and the Nightmare Clan would certainly not agree.

The Nightmare Eaters clan can't do without him now. If Chen Qi abandons his post at this time, A Liang, who has gained control of part of his body, will definitely trip him up. He might fall flat on his face before he can even take two steps.

The Nightmare Clan's large-scale attack on Jinghai City is aimed at Chen Qi, and they are unlikely to let him go.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Chen Qi is currently the focus of the battlefield. If he tries to escape, he will immediately be pursued by both races.

We can only wait for the right opportunity...

Meanwhile, Chen Qi, the Dream Thief, also joined the battle!

At the main gate of Jinghai Medical College, four Nightmare Parasites and two Nightmare Eater Parasites are engaged in a fierce battle.

Because their combat strength is suppressed, the Nightmare Clan must fight with superior numbers or bully the weak to gain an advantage.

Despite it being a four-on-two situation, the Nightmare Clan's advantage was not obvious.

At that moment, an amusement park fell from the sky!

They completely surrounded all six people.

Before the six parasites could figure out what was happening, they saw their bodies rapidly shrink to the size of dolls.

Beside them was a steel roller coaster with rails, and you could tell how thrilling it was just by looking at the tracks.

Just as Chen Qi was about to put all six of them on the roller coaster, Meng Long warned him in his heart: "Remember your promise, you are not allowed to lay a hand on my people!"

Chen Qi pretended not to hear, but still forced the six people onto the roller coaster seats.

Only then did he hurriedly say, "I didn't react for a moment. Don't worry, I won't do anything to them. I'll release the four of them once the roller coaster stops."

Menglong knew Chen Qi was doing it on purpose, but in reality, he wasn't that protective of these younger members of his clan. He simply warned them, "Don't let this happen again."

This roller coaster is the fourth amusement facility in Chen Qi's safe house.

It's thrilling and exciting, not only because of the steep slope, but also because of the high speed!
This roller coaster has a more official name, which is written on the sign at the entrance: "Soul Chaser".

It's said that the person runs ahead, while the soul chases behind.

It does indeed have some effect of "soul-body separation".

As soon as the Soul Chaser started, it quickly accelerated, and after the first downhill section, its speed became so fast that it could no longer be seen with the naked eye!

Of course, this is also a result that Chen Qi can control. As the owner of the amusement park, he has control over all the facilities in the park.

I don't know how many laps it ran, but in the blink of an eye, the chase car stopped.

The six people in the car were foaming at the mouth and unconscious.

Chen Qi immediately put away the safe house, and the six people collapsed to the ground like dead dogs.

Coffee, standing nearby, emptied his magazine with a series of bangs, riddling the two Nightmare Parasites with bullets and effectively denying them the chance to revive.

The other four Nightmare Clan parasites were not killed at Chen Qi's behest.

Of course, she just didn't take action on the spot... Xu An'an silently sent a message to Baozi, asking her to arrange for someone to come and clean up the mess.

Next, Chen Qi continued to attack various locations within Jinghai Medical College, killing all the Nightmare-Eating Parasites he encountered.

As for the Nightmare Parasite, he would try his best to seize the opportunity to knock it unconscious, then leave it in place for the officials to come and finish it off.

However, Chen Qi deliberately avoided entering the core battlefield.

Otherwise, once he gets there, if Menglong sees his other body slaughtering the Nightmare Clan, he will definitely turn against him.

Now is not the time to turn against each other.

He was waiting, waiting for both sides in the core battlefield to continue wearing down their strength, waiting for his other body to be confident of escape...

That will be the time when their two bodies merge!
Chen Qi understood that he had to complete the fusion of the two bodies today; only in this way could he regain control of his body.

Otherwise, no matter how strong he is, he would have to get the consent of the Nightmare Clan within him before he could do anything, and he would have to feign compliance with them.

If you do anything that displeases them, they will make things difficult for you.

Although Menglong and Aliang, the two Nightmare Clan members, could not completely take control of his body, they could completely render him powerless.

But once the two bodies merge, everything changes!

Chen Qi will directly gain more than 50% control over the body, while Menglong and A Liang will check and balance each other, making Chen Qi the true master of the body!

As time passed, Chen Qi gradually wiped out the Nightmare Eaters on the outskirts, and the Nightmare Clan also lost its fighting power.

Next, only the core battlefield remained, which Chen Qi had never been to.

At this moment, Menglong also realized that something was wrong and urged Chen Qi to go and take a look over there.

In fact, after so long, both sides on the core battlefield have suffered considerable losses in strength.

But they weren't stupid either. After discovering that the number of casualties had reached a certain proportion, both sides began to exercise restraint and actively distanced themselves.

The two sides are deadlocked, and there have been no casualties for some time now.

Chen Qi knew that if he continued to wait, he probably wouldn't get a better opportunity, so he could only exchange a glance with his teammates and then rush towards the core battlefield.
