Chapter 846 - 845: Psychological Shadow
Lin Yunping only realized after drinking this talismanic water that it might be a side effect from treating the parasites inside him?Beisitian saw his puzzled look and explained, "It’s to expel the parasites."
"Expel the parasites?" Lin Yunping, not quite sharp-minded yet, asked foolishly.
Weren’t they just driven out of my ear just now?
"Expel parasites from where?" Lin Yunping asked, then felt a churning in his stomach, his face changed instantly, and he realized which parasites needed to be expelled.
But...
Is such a method of expulsion really okay?
"Can’t we use another method?" Lin Yunping asked in a panic.
Although it was phrased as a question, it sounded like an affirmation.
However, he knew it was too late.
"Ugh!"
Lin Yunping opened his mouth and vomited!
By the time Beisitian answered his first question, she had already stood up and retreated backward, and when he opened his mouth, she had reached Luo Yirui’s side, covering his eyes.
Jing Changle was quick-witted and shut his eyes at the sight.
What Lin Yunping vomited out was a pool of black, still wriggling parasites. Even when people vomit after drinking alcohol, the smell has a limit; but what he vomited was unbelievably foul-smelling!
Those parasites fell to the ground, writhing in the thick, yellowish gastric juice, and the sight made Zou Yulu faint on the spot.
Those from the Qingyu group had been prepared, so even Desan turned his head at Tian Zhi’s reminder.
Having been married for many years, Luo Xudong knew Beisitian’s temperament well; helping someone she disliked in such a manner meant she was probably holding back another plan, so he had shifted his gaze outside long ago.
As for who Chen Jinliang was, he was an expert at reading expressions. He didn’t need to bother with others’ expressions, but he needed to keep an eye on Luo Xudong’s at all times, so when he saw this demeanor on Luo Xudong, he felt a chill.
Even someone like Mr. Luo had to be cautious; he must tread carefully, but... should he remind his comrades?
As he pondered this, Lin Yunping had already vomited.
Chen Jinliang looked up at the sky; it wasn’t for lack of loyalty.
Everyone, including Chu Zhicheng, was shocked by the scene, and soon enough, they were all sickened—except for Zou Yulu, who simply fainted; the rest bent over and started retching.
Though horrified by the sight, they weren’t personally affected like Lin Yunping, for whom the experience was real and direct.
In fact, as those parasites passed through his mouth, they wriggled over his tongue!
The sensation... was like a nightmare!
Lin Yunping felt he would never be able to eat properly again...
Having vomited three times, Lin Yunping finally expelled all the parasites from his stomach, but he wasn’t happy about it—far from it; he was practically in tears!
He thought he might develop an eating disorder...
He lay flat on the ground, devoid of the will to move; not because he didn’t want to, but because he was drained from vomiting so much, or rather, drained from the nausea.
Staring through the canopy at the cyan-blue sky, he came to a life lesson.
You should never provoke a woman, especially a capable woman!
In an hour, the queen parasites had fought among themselves until only one was left, barely alive, and the flying insects took three hours before the battle ended; looking at the ground, nearly all the flying insects had died.
Everyone who saw this was left speechless; had they known earlier, they wouldn’t have needed to struggle so much?
Still, they had no face to say anything, as Beisitian led Qingyu in the fight from start to finish, and while those at the front did their part, those who hid at the back felt guilty after the battle.
After a brief discussion, Beisitian, Desan, and Chu Zhicheng reached a decision, and Chu Zhicheng played the bad guy this time.
"You all should leave; we need to continue forward, but we don’t have the capacity to protect others," Chu Zhicheng said.
His attitude wasn’t arrogant but rather cold. Originally not a mild-mannered person, he had toned down his temper since this was his first collaboration with the Military Department.
On hearing this, those people’s faces turned white and red, realizing that this outing was truly humiliating!
Chen Yang had the choice, and he decided to stick with the group, feeling that the gains this time might not be material but something else.
Including Lin Yunping, one person from the Zhou Family, one from the Chen Family, and three from the Association left without an escort, only given directions towards the backup force.
The group walked in silence, never having been so humiliated, with Lin Yunping not having fled but feeling the worst of them all.
Continuing their exploration, they initially thought they could find traces of the other party, only to discover that the outside poisons and insects were all defensive mechanisms.
This made Beisitian recall someone, referring to a mission Jiang Mingzhong received about mysterious occurrences in a forest, and Bei Jiale had sought this person’s trail.
The latter also used similar defenses, but the methods were entirely different; from analyzing the means employed, the one who set defenses and these ruthless individuals were clearly not the same kind.
As it was pre-set defense, they might not find the person involved, as they had yet to even see the opponents.
After passing through thick woods, they found the small building where Luo Yirui and Jing Changle had escaped from.
Seeing the small building, Luo Yirui and Jing Changle turned pale, recalling the bloody room.
The fear suppressed during their escape now surged back with great intensity.
Luo Xudong and his wife noticed their son’s unusual behavior, understanding fully well and harboring a smoldering anger, albeit remaining rational—now was not the time to lose their heads.
Even though members of the special ops group were ordinary people, they were nimble, and they finally went inside to investigate, finding no defenses inside; all defenses were set in the forest.
This approach was understandable, as the forest barrier would render secondary defenses unnecessary once broken through.
However, the building’s occupants had evacuated hurriedly, leaving behind much experimental equipment and findings, even the children confined in the basement.
Luo Yirui then recalled overhearing the occupants talking about fighting to the death against intruders, initially assuming it was his parents; now it seemed not!
Beisitian and Luo Xudong exchanged glances, asserting it clearly wasn’t them, as they’d yet to see the enemies, much less forced them into a corner.
Who, then, had reached these people first, so powerful as to drive them into hurriedly abandoning such valuable things in their escape?
