Quick Transmigration and Childbirth: The Target is Not Human
Chapter 97 The Strange Parasite Mr.
Xia Yangyang went to the balcony, and raindrops pelted the glass like beans, making a loud pattering sound. A shallow layer of water had already accumulated on the street.
A conspiracy theory popped into her head.
Mr. Parasite was so eager to take Xiaoxue home just now, could it be that he just wanted to take her to the garage? Luckily, he's up to something when she can't see him, threatening Xiaoxue and making her go home on her own?
And you know what? It really does seem like something it could do.
Xia Yangyang said, "Don't come back to get it. It's raining so hard, and you can't drive two cars. Let Xia Feimo drive my car to take you back. I'll give you your car back when the weather clears up."
The person on the other end seemed surprised by this turn of events. After a moment of silence, they said, "[I'm already in the elevator.]"
Xia Yangyang's brow twitched: "Let Xia Feimo answer the phone."
[......]
"Feed? Xiaoxue?"
[......]
"...Feed?"
She asked twice more, but there was no response from the other end.
After a while, the person on the other end said, "[He's not with me, and the elevator signal is bad. Anyway, just open the door in a bit.]"
"Beep beep beep..."
Xia Yangyang looked at her phone screen and saw that the call had ended.
I had a vague feeling that something was off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
She knows Mr. Parasite very well.
When they came to visit, he pretended to be busy with his own things, but secretly he turned on eighty times his normal hearing to listen to whether Xiaoxue was saying anything bad about him.
She's this domineering even at home.
It would make Xiaoxue come up alone to get the key and meet her alone?
Isn't it afraid that Xiaoxue will speak ill of it at this time?
If it really did threaten Xiaoxue in the garage, then it would be even less likely to let Xiaoxue come back alone, because it was most afraid that Xiaoxue would speak ill of it in front of her.
"Bang bang bang—"
I was staring blankly at my phone screen when I heard a knock on the door.
and many more.
Xia Yangyang lowered her foot back down.
Every time Xiaoxue came to see her, it seemed like she always rang the doorbell and never knocked.
The baby inside the womb sensed its mother's unease and moved restlessly as well.
Xia Yangyang placed her hand on her stomach. She was pregnant now, so she had to be extra careful and cautious in everything she did.
She didn't go over, but the person in front of the door kept knocking.
The banging grew more and more rapid.
It was only then that Xia Yangyang truly realized something was wrong.
The system suddenly issued a warning: [Wait, Master! Don't go over there!!]
She was already walking slowly because of her pregnancy, and when the system alerted her, she was still two meters away from the door.
Suddenly, the solid wood door exploded with a loud bang, and a blood-red tentacle pierced through the peephole, thrusting in like a spear!
Xia Yangyang's pupils suddenly contracted.
Because the spear stopped less than the thickness of a coin away from her eyeball.
In an instant, her blood turned ice-cold and flowed backward.
His breathing stopped abruptly, and he dared not move.
After a moment, the spear softened into a tentacle and slowly retracted from the cat's eye.
"Yangyang, open the door, it's Xiaoxue..."
"It's me, Xiaoxue. I'm here to get the keys..."
The parasites outside didn't notice that their voices had changed, becoming intermittent, like withered branches breaking in the cold wind, sending chills down one's spine.
It called for Xia Yangyang to come out while pounding on the door with inhuman force.
"Thump! Thump! Thump—!"
The solid wood door trembled and bent from the impact. Just as it was about to be violently broken open, the latch suddenly loosened, causing the parasite to tumble inside with a thud.
Xia Yangyang hid behind the door, trembling with fear, and curled up as far inside as possible.
From behind the door panel, she first saw the head of an alien creature perched on a thin neck. Its facial features were indistinct, except for its wide, white teeth that stretched to its ears, densely packed and incredibly sharp, making it impossible to doubt that they could bite right through a person's body.
Next came its hunched body, like a large, open umbrella, with a thick, long tail trailing behind it.
Its back was covered with tumors of different colors: gray-green, black, blue... each one still throbbing hot.
While making "hoho" sounds, he imitated Yang Xiaoxue's voice and shouted "Yangyang".
His tone was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, like a monster emerging from a nightmare.
It stood in the living room, looking around. Suddenly, as if it had noticed something, it walked towards Xia Yangyang's line of sight.
Xia Yangyang closed her eyes tightly and begged.
My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my throat.
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, make it ring faster!!!
Just when only a wooden door remained between the two—
"Ring ring ring ring ring—!!!"
Suddenly, the alarm clock rang in the bedroom.
The parasite paused, its eyes gleaming, then it opened its mouth, its scarlet tongue protruding, and headed straight for the bedroom.
The moment it ran into the bedroom.
Xia Yangyang emerged from behind the door, clutching the key, and ran out with lightning speed, closing the door behind her.
Using the shrill sound of the alarm clock as a cover.
She gripped the key, inserted it into the lock, and turned it several times to lock the door from the inside.
The alarm clock could be heard from outside even through the door.
She frantically pressed the elevator buttons, but the elevator was stuck on the second basement level and wouldn't budge.
The alarm clock in the room has stopped.
Xia Yangyang looked at the folded and winding staircase, then at her protruding belly. Going down the stairs like this, she could neither see the steps nor her toes.
She gripped the handrail and, relying on her instincts, descended the stairs.
A deafening clap of thunder, accompanied by lightning, illuminated the dark stairwell for a moment. The stairwell was filled with the chaotic, heavy sounds of her breathing and footsteps.
Her belly ached from the jolting, and all she could do was run and pray to the baby inside her.
You must behave well and absolutely not cause any trouble at this time.
Xia Yangyang: [Has it caught up with us?]
System: [Run! It's climbed to the fifth floor! Run towards the commercial street to the south; maybe some shops are still open!]
Xia Yangyang: [Okay.]
The water, reaching up to her calves, created blind spots, and the constant bumps and bruises in the water made her legs ache. The resistance of the water made it even more difficult to move.
She ran to the gate of the residential complex and pounded on the door.
Through the glass, however, I saw two security guards lying in front of the monitor table, which was covered in blood, and they had obviously been dead for some time.
The air was filled with a damp, cold, and decaying smell.
Xia Yangyang took two steps back and suddenly turned around to see the parasitic species that had already run to the bottom of the stairs on the first floor.
The system in my brain kept shouting: [Run!! Run fast!!!]
She grabbed a fire extinguisher from the side, smashed the glass of the riot control display case, and took out a rubber baton and a telescopic steel fork.
As she fled in the direction given by the system, she gripped her weapon so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Even if there's really no way to escape it in a while.
At least they won't be completely defenseless.
This parasite has mutated and is more powerful than any parasite she has ever seen before.
But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, as long as there is a glimmer of hope—
She will never give up the struggle.
*
The torrential rain flooded the three-story steps of the commercial street. With such heavy rain, no shops were open. She stood alone in the downpour, not knowing where to hide.
After making up his mind to fight the parasites, he strangely calmed down.
Her clothes had long lost their shape, clinging tightly to her body after being soaked by the rain, revealing her slender figure.
Just then, a powerful shout rang out from behind.
"Hey—! That little girl!"
Xia Yangyang's body trembled, and she turned around to look.
She saw a man with tattooed arms standing at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, smoking and waving at her.
Because she had her back to him, he didn't see her pregnant belly and mistakenly thought she was a little girl.
"What are you standing there in the rain for? Come inside and get out of the rain!" he shouted again.
Xia Yangyang's heart tightened: [Was this infected by a parasitic species?]
The system carefully checked: [No, this is a normal human being.]
However, even the system itself was fooled.
All the data in the system comes from the original appearance of this world. However, the database does not include the unique, invisible, infection-based parasitic species that evolved later in the world.
After receiving a positive response from the system, Xia Yangyang turned around and walked towards her older brother.
The older brother was also taken aback when he saw the little girl's face. He quickly put out his cigarette, helped her inside, and called for the kitchen to make hot soup and get a towel.
Xia Yangyang felt icy cold all over, while her older brother's hands felt hot and burning.
It's a living person's hand.
She finally relaxed a little.
Xia Yangyang sat down in a seat near the door and looked around. She found the place bustling with activity and quite a few people. There were office workers whose white shirts were soaked with sweat, as well as scavengers in tattered clothes. It seemed that they had all been taken in by the older brother.
The older brother handed her a clean white towel and brought her a bowl of hot soup: "Girl, this rain doesn't look like it'll last forever, just make do for now."
Xia Yangyang's head was dripping wet, and her once neat and tidy appearance was now a mess.
She presented the hot soup with both hands: "Thank you."
The older brother scratched his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a small favor in this rainy weather," and then went back to standing outside the hot pot restaurant.
While drinking hot soup, Xia Yangyang made six or seven phone calls to Mr. Parasite, but no one answered them.
The hot soup dispelled the chill.
She was much more relaxed, but still kept the weapon close to her chest.
Xia Yangyang clutched her phone: [Where's Xia Feimo? Where is he? Did something happen to him too?]
If the parasite knew to use Yang Xiaoxue to deceive her.
The situation with Mr. Parasite is definitely not much better than hers.
The system checked the location and was completely baffled.
It only relaxed for a short while, how did it cause such a big problem?
If her master knew that the person being parasitized was Yang Xiaoxue, and that the parasite was fighting with her, she would wonder what tricks she would pull to catch it off guard.
Who knows, despite being heavily pregnant, she might actually rush up and fight the parasite.
She can't withstand this kind of torment.
System: [What could possibly happen to a parasite? You'd be better off worrying about yourself!]
The system is right.
Xia Yangyang's eyelashes trembled, and her fingertips slid through her contacts, finding that familiar contact.
She paused for less than two seconds before pressing the button and making the call.
The two had not been in contact for almost a year.
His phone still rang the same old way, and after ringing for a while, the other end answered.
[Feed? Yangyang?]
His voice, as if tempered by time, had become more steady and powerful.
Xia Yangyang gripped her phone tightly with both hands. Although she tried her best to control the tremor in her voice, some of it still betrayed her.
"Jiang Yan, I've encountered something 'strange,' can you come and save me? I'm currently in a shop called Hongxing Hot Pot Restaurant on the commercial street south of my residential area."
Are you safe now?
She heard a loud door opening and closing sound coming from the phone.
"It should be safe; there are many people in this store."
[Don't hang up, I'm coming right away.]
Xia Yangyang, clutching her phone, her vision blurred, said, "Thank you..."
The moment she finished speaking, a shrill system alarm blared in her ears.
She felt a pain in her back.
Perhaps they didn't even feel how much pain they were in.
Just like when your hand is burned by excessive heat, your first sensation is cold, not hot.
She fell to the ground, and her phone slipped from her hand due to inertia, landing under a table and chairs some distance away.
The man in the white shirt who was just sitting there looking at his watch now had his eyes rolled back, and his right hand was covered by rolling red tentacles, turning into a sharp, drill-like weapon.
He aimed at her stomach and stabbed her hard.
Xia Yangyang swiftly grabbed the telescopic steel fork, pressing the curved end firmly against the chest of the man in the white shirt.
"Help……"
The veins in her neck were red and throbbing from the force.
He asked the people around him for help.
The scene, which had just been filled with the warmth of everyday life, changed in an instant, becoming eerie and quiet, with only the sound of men's and women's heels slowly approaching her.
On the phone in the distance, Jiang Yan kept calling her name.
Xia Yangyang: [What...what the hell...]
