Fear of food

Chapter 73 Parasite Resurrection Point
With this in mind, the answer becomes obvious.

What has always been most troublesome for Chen Qi and his team about the parasites is not their various strange abilities or terrifying combat power.

It's not that they can't be killed!

It can be resurrected even if killed.

Tear them into pieces, burn them to ashes, and after ten days or so you'll find they've reappeared.

This also meant that Chen Qi and the other alien eaters had no desire to fight the parasites.

When encountering a parasite, the best course of action is to run away, because fighting is pointless; even if you win, you'll only send the parasite to its resurrection.

"Could this be the place where the parasites resurrect? Their lair, the spring?"

The two officials seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

but……

"Isn't this an illusion?"

"How could one possibly be resurrected in an illusion?"

The three exchanged glances, and the same absurd thought popped into their minds: Could this not be an illusion?
The burly young man seemed somewhat delirious, shaking his head and saying, "It doesn't make sense, it just doesn't make sense!"

The dark-skinned youth was equally bewildered: "If this isn't an illusion, how could we die and come back to life, come back to life and die again?"

Chen Qi, on the contrary, was more adapted than the two of them. He calmly said, "The world has become such a mess that many things are inexplicable. It's not surprising that people die and come back to life, or come back to life and die again. Aren't these parasites all like that?"

What you said makes some sense.

Indeed, parasites can die and be resurrected repeatedly!

Chen Qi added, "Of course, it's also possible that this is just an illusion, and everything we see is meaningless. There's no need to overthink it."

"Anyway, let's not worry about anything else and just smash these giant eggs first."

The dark-skinned youth looked around and said, "It's going to be difficult without tools. Are we going to have to dig it up with our bare hands?"

No sooner had they finished speaking than a man rushed in from outside the door—it was Bian Zihan, wielding a first-aid axe.

"What are you doing in the delivery room? Get out of here! No unauthorized personnel are allowed in!" Bian Zihan shouted.

Chen Qi and the other two exchanged glances and all looked at the axe in Bian Zihan's hand.

"Here you go." The sturdy young man tossed the flashlight to Chen Qi, and he and the dark-skinned young man rushed forward in perfect unison.

Chen Qi quickly held up a flashlight to provide them with visibility.

"All three of you need emergency medical attention!"

Bian Zihan swung his axe at the two officials.

However, these two were clearly well-trained, highly skilled, and had extremely fast reaction speeds.

He always managed to narrowly avoid the axe's attack.

Chen Qi, holding a flashlight, felt he couldn't just stand by and watch; he should do something too. So he walked toward the giant egg that was closer to him.

He kicked the giant egg hard, but the egg only wobbled and remained unharmed.

Undeterred, Chen Qi kicked the giant egg repeatedly. This action seemed to attract Bian Zihan's hatred, causing him to abandon his attack on the two officials and charge straight at Chen Qi with an axe.

This gave the two officials an opportunity. Seeing that Bian Zihan had exposed his back to them, the muscular young man swept his leg and tripped Bian Zihan to the ground, while the dark-skinned young man rushed up and stomped on Bian Zihan's hand holding the axe.

The burly young man also got up and pinned Bian Zihan down, locking him in place.

Bian Zihan's strength seemed to be far inferior to Xia Huiyun's, and being suppressed by the two of them, he was unable to break free for a while.

But the two men couldn't get their hands on his axe, and the stalemate continued.

Chen Qi's side continued to attack the giant egg.

He discovered that the giant egg was incredibly resilient and couldn't be taken down by kicking it, so he focused on the blood vessels on the giant egg that extended to the ground!
In no time, he ruptured a blood vessel, and a thick, yellow liquid, like curry, immediately flowed out of it.

Just as he continued attacking the next blood vessel, a sudden burst of frantic footsteps approached, and Xia Huiyun, who had been nowhere to be seen, finally appeared! She charged towards Chen Qi like a rhinoceros on the offensive.

Despite her slender and delicate figure, she ran with the momentum of a thousand troops!
Upon seeing this, Chen Qi immediately hid behind the giant egg.

Xia Huiyun had to brake suddenly, otherwise she would definitely crash into the giant egg.

Seeing that his two teammates seemed to want to come and help him, Chen Qi quickly said, "Don't worry about me, you guys grab the axe first."

Xia Huiyun leaped towards Chen Qi, who quickly crouched down, using the giant egg as cover to successfully dodge her attack. He then swiftly moved to the other side of the giant egg.

Xia Huiyun was furious and said angrily, "You are very sick and need an injection!"

After saying that, he used a syringe to rapidly and frequently stab people across the giant egg, like a skilled swordsman.

However, Chen Qi only took a few steps back and completely dodged the attack.

When Xia Huiyun stabbed him, he dodged; when Xia Huiyun chased him, he circled around the egg.

Chen Qi maintained a diagonal stance with Xia Huiyun, which made her extremely anxious.

Whenever Xia Huiyun showed any sign of going to support Bian Zihan, Chen Qi would kick the blood vessels on the giant egg, forcing Xia Huiyun to continue to cause him trouble.

Finally, Xia Huiyun's patience ran out, and she abandoned Chen Qi and rushed towards his two teammates.

Even though Chen Qi kicked another blood vessel in the giant egg, it didn't make Xia Huiyun turn back.

Chen Qi was burning with anxiety. If Xia Huiyun went to provide support, his two teammates would be in grave danger. He would soon face an attack from both Xia Huiyun and Bian Zihan.

At that point, the tactic of circling around the egg will no longer be effective, and he will likely be in grave danger.

How to do?
A thought flashed through Chen Qi's mind. He put the flashlight down temporarily, making sure the beam was still pointing at his two teammates.

Then he suddenly reached out with both hands to grab the giant egg.

Judging from Bian Zihan and Xia Huiyun's behavior just now, it's clear that they care about this giant egg.

However, the damage he caused to the giant egg by simply kicking and rupturing blood vessels was very limited. If he could cause greater damage and destruction, he would definitely attract Xia Huiyun to turn around and stop him!

He dug his ten fingers into the giant egg, trying to tear it apart.

However, the membrane on the surface of the giant egg was tougher than anyone could imagine. Even when Chen Qi's finger was halfway in, he was still unable to tear it.

"No time to hesitate!"

"Fight!"

Chen Qi roared inwardly, gritted his teeth, and suddenly opened his mouth to bite into the giant egg!

"It's just an illusion."

"It's just an illusion."

"It's fine……"

The incredibly tough membrane of the giant egg, which was so tough under Chen Qi's hands, felt like paper under his teeth.

Chen Qi felt as if he hadn't exerted much effort to tear the membrane.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "It seems that now that I'm possessing a dog's body, attacking with its teeth has a bonus..."

Chen Qi's eyes hardened instantly. He spat out the membrane tissue in his mouth, pounced on the giant egg, and took another bite, tearing off the egg's membrane along with its blood vessels!
This tactic worked as expected; Xia Huiyun turned around and attacked back.

Her face was filled with shock and anger. Seeing that Chen Qi was about to take a third bite, she was so anxious that she threw the syringe out of her hand.

Chen Qi never expected that the old nurse had a skill in flying needles. Even if he had, he wouldn't have had time to react. He hurriedly dodged to the side, but still couldn't dodge it.

The needle was inserted into his thigh!
Chen Qi was in so much pain that he bit down hard on the giant egg, while simultaneously pulling out the IV from his thigh.

"Finally, we have weapons!"
