Chapter 20

In the afterglow of sunset, because it is located in the northwest, there is not much grass on the mountain, and a village can be faintly seen between the valleys not far away.

Although the village is small, it is well-equipped. Among the blue-tiled houses there are still many small second-floor houses with white exterior tiles.

"Let's just go here, but there may be strange beasts." Que Qi put his hands on his forehead and looked around and said.

Su Zhuo, who had never left Lincheng, didn't know where he could go in the last days where strange beasts were rampant, so he said casually, "Yes, let's go and have a look."

He has never been so confused, he has no worries, he doesn't even have a goal, to become stronger?Maybe one, but that's more of a means of survival.

Before approaching the village, several young strong men rushed out of the fields on both sides of the village, carrying shovels, hatchets and other farm tools in their hands. The best weapon was the big knife in the hands of the leading young man, which was quite powerful. The symbol of the green forest hero.

"Stop! What are you doing!"

Ma Daqing took the big knife made by his own blacksmith shop, and stopped Su Zhuo and the other two.Several other people also had unfriendly expressions, and the aggression of the Northwest man came out from the eyes.

Su Zhuo said quickly: "Brothers! Don't do anything. I escaped from Lincheng and want to live in the village for a few days!" Seeing Su Zhuo with a smile on his face.

Ma Daqing turned around and muttered a few words with the others, then looked back at Su Zhuo and said, "You can enter the village if you want, but let me ask you, what is one plus one equal to!"

"what!?"

Su Zhuo was stunned. What kind of question is this? A thinner young man shouted impatiently: "Ah what! Brother Ma asks you to answer it!"

"two!"

The second monk Su Zhuozhang couldn't figure it out, but he still stretched out two fingers.

Hearing Su Zhuo's answer, Ma Daqing showed his white teeth and laughed loudly:
"Haha, it's two! Little brother, don't blame us, we have no choice but to blame those living dead for being too annoying!"

Su Zhuo couldn't help saying: "The living dead? Isn't it a strange beast?" But he didn't notice Que Qi's thoughtful expression.

"Let's not talk about it now, let's go to the village, let's talk about it after we go to the village, I want to ask about the situation in the city."

Ma Daqing looked sad and obviously didn't want to say more. Su Zhuo suddenly thought of something and pointed at Que Qi: "Wait a minute, why don't you ask her math questions."

The thin man rolled his eyes, and suddenly his face turned red: "How can such a beautiful girl be a living dead?"

Several men nodded in agreement, Su Zhuo was speechless for a while, and gave a thumbs up for a long time:

"No problem!"

……

At night, in Ma Daqing's yard, a few big white steamed buns and millet porridge and pickles constituted a simple dinner. Que Qi sipped rice porridge and listened quietly to the conversation between Su Zhuo and Ma Daqing.

"Brother Ma, what the hell are the living dead?"

"The living dead are actually our folks in Xiyan Village. But they are controlled by insects."

As he spoke, Ma Daqing put down his bowls and chopsticks, took out four small wooden stoppers from his pocket and handed them to Su Zhuo, saying sadly:

"Remember to wear earplugs when you go to bed at night, those bugs get in through the ears while the folks are asleep."

Su Zhuo suddenly realized that this was the living dead. He never expected that even if he left the city, there would be such a powerful beast. Que Qi also finished the rice porridge in the bowl and said calmly:
"It's useless. As long as the brain-eating worms keep an eye on their prey, they won't give up until they succeed in parasitizing them. There are always times when they accidentally fall asleep. Once they fall asleep, they will be parasitized."

Ma Daqing looked at Que Qi in surprise and said:
"Que Nizi knows a lot, but we call him a dead worm. The dead worm is very cunning and very fast. Even if we are careful, there are still villagers who become living dead intermittently."

Su Zhuo broke into a cold sweat when he heard that, he didn't expect such a strange beast, so he immediately wanted to leave Xiyan Village.

At this moment, the man who scolded Su Zhuo during the day suddenly ran in, his eyes darkened and he said:
"Brother Ma, hurry to Sanniang's house, Sanniang has been parasitized by dead insects!"

"what!?"

Ma Daqing jumped up against the crime, picked up the big knife beside his hand and roared

: "Didn't the second fool look at Sanniang? How could he be parasitized!"

After finishing speaking, he wanted to run outside, but Que Qi was faster, surpassing Ma Daqing and slashed across the thin man's neck. Ma Daqing's eyes were dull, and the steamed bun in Su Zhuo's hand fell to the ground. He quickly pulled Que Qi back and said:

"Seventh sister, you are crazy!"

The man who was looking at him had already fallen to the ground clutching his neck, apparently unable to survive.

"Que Nizi! Why did you kill Slender Wang!" Ma Daqing was about to go crazy, he didn't expect that Que Nizi, who served delicious food and treats, would do such a murderous thing, and slashed at Que Qi with red eyes.

But how could Ma Daqing be Que Qi's opponent, Shura Dao lightly picked up the big sword in Ma Daqing's hand, and it flew out, and said coldly: "He was parasitized by brain-eating worms!"

"Don't lie to me! The living dead can't even speak well, they can only coo, how could Fatty Wang be parasitized." Ma Daqing obviously didn't believe it.

But the next moment, Fatty Wang, who was originally dead, suddenly made a strange sound. Under the gaze of the three people, a green insect with a slender body came out of Fatty Wang's ear. It twisted its body and looked at the three of them before quickly leave.

The eye of common sense detects the information of the brain-eating worm:
Brain Eater

Rating: 1
Features: parasitic, extreme speed

Disadvantages: weak attack power, weak defense power
"how is this possible……"

Ma Daqing collapsed on the ground, looking at Fatty Wang's body, weeping like rain.Fatty Wang was his playmate who grew up wearing a pair of trousers, but now he just died in front of his eyes.

He is a rough man, but he is also sensible. It is impossible for a person parasitized by the dead man to survive, and the corpse will continue to rot...

"What's going on? Seventh sister."

Su Zhuo's face was serious. If the parasites were no different from ordinary people, then their situation would be dangerous.

Que Qi withdrew his long knife and said, "That's because the brain-eating worm has evolved!"

"The brain-eating worm is a zero-level alien beast, but it can devour brains to upgrade. Once it reaches the first level, it will be no different from ordinary people, but the pupils of the parasite will hide green light."

"And, we're being targeted!"

Su Zhuo's face was ugly. The living dead parasitized by brain-eating worms are not scary, what is scary is the silent parasitism.

One has to sleep, and who can sleep peacefully under such conditions?

"The top priority now is to gather the villagers together. Even Fatty Wang has been parasitized, and others are not safe!" Su Zhuo said to Ma Daqing.

Ma Daqing also reacted, wiped away tears and stood up, nodding repeatedly:
"Yes yes yes, gather the folks together, if someone is parasitized, Que Nizi will be able to tell, as long as we are vigilant to each other, even the dead worms will not be able to succeed!"

Xiyan Village was not threatened by other strange beasts, but it was the brain-eating worm, which made them miserable. Just when Ma Daqing felt that the brain-eating worm could be controlled, the brain-eating worm unexpectedly upgraded again.

Ma Daqing suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have pulled Su Zhuo and Que Qi into the village. Once they were targeted by the dead bugs, they had no other choice but to keep dying.

Although Que Qi was serious, there was a flash of heat in his eyes. Besides parasitism, brain-eating worms had another ability, which was to brew honey syrup, which was a good thing that could improve muscle strength.
