Alien Species Invasion? I Kill Them Back.

Chapter 25: Chapter 23: Rearing Relationship

The chest of the corpse before them bulged, swelling upward in a wave until its throat and cheeks were stretched to an unbelievable size! A thick, fat, white maggot squeezed out from its mouth—

"Everyone, get back!"

Zhou Diao shouted, his right hand instantly transforming into a Beast Claw! He pierced the skull with one swipe, tearing the entire head to shreds!

The thick maggot twitched and tried to retract.

Zhou Diao dug his Beast Claw into its throat and yanked hard. The fragile corpse was ripped open right down the middle!

Like a water-filled balloon being slashed open, a huge amount of viscous fluid gushed out. The corpse and the maggot deflated together, becoming a thin puddle of skin, with no sign of flesh, bones, or organs.

Fighting back his disgust, Qin Liang photographed the scene. "The inside of the body was eaten hollow by the worm..."

"They’re disgusting, but their skin is thin and they’re easy to kill. Not much of a threat." Zhou Diao glanced back at his other teammates and said, "Let’s deal with these worms first."

Everyone followed him into the cave containing the Alien Species.

Headlamps, flashlights, emergency lights, and other various lighting tools illuminated the cave, revealing more bizarrely-limbed Alien Species in the light.

Besides the few lying near the entrance, there were a dozen more deeper in the cave.

Without exception, they were all corpses.

Some corpses had waxy white skin, some were rotten and blackened, and others had already been eaten hollow by the worms. Their skin was as thin as a layer of paper, and you could even see the fat, greasy white worms slowly writhing inside them.

The team members each took out daggers to deal with the corpses.

Standing at the cave entrance, Chao watched this scene and finally understood. His face darkened as he said, "You’re not from the forums. You’re from the Inspection Bureau."

In stark contrast to Chao’s reaction, the face of Fang Ye beside him lit up with joy. "You’re from the Inspection Bureau?"

"Idiot! You think they can save us?" Chao cursed at him. "They’ve dealt with all the Alien Species now. We won’t get a single cent of the reward money!"

Fang Ye was too meek to say a word.

No one paid any attention to the two brothers, only thinking them fools.

Even if they had managed to drag these Alien Species corpses out, they never would have gotten the reward.

The complex web of procedures within the Inspection Bureau wasn’t designed for nothing. For every Alien Species case, the Bureau produces a detailed analysis report. Combined with the claim and review process, the brothers’ lies would have been exposed at some point.

The reason Feng Ling’s reward money had arrived so quickly was entirely because Su Yuqing had personally vouched for her.

Squelching and slashing sounds echoed through the cave.

Each corpse was like a water-filled bag—too thin, too fragile, and too weak. After swinging her axe twice, Feng Ling lost interest.

She had Huangfu Miaomiao give it a try to see if she could earn some points.

Perhaps because the fat worms inside the corpses posed no threat, Huangfu Miaomiao was a little braver. With a solemn expression, she lifted her hammer and crushed a nearby one.

Feng Ling used her long-handled axe as a walking stick, lazily leaning on the end of the shaft. "How was it? Get any points?"

Huangfu Miaomiao looked back at her, revealing her first smile since entering the cave.

"Yes!" She nodded vigorously at Feng Ling.

Feng Ling smiled and asked, "How many?"

"Two points!" Huangfu Miaomiao’s eyes were wide with excitement.

Feng Ling: "..."

’Is she that desperate? Getting this excited over two points?’

’Oh well, two points are still points. She can trade them for Jelly in the little Alien Species’s shop.’

"Hey, Deputy Captain Zhou~~~" Feng Ling called out to Zhou Diao, who wasn’t far away. "Leave a few for Little Skeleton. Let her earn some points."

Zhou Diao stopped resentfully and cursed, "Fuck! Anyone who cooperates with an Alien Species is a brainless idiot! They’re just playing with fire and will get burned eventually!"

Feng Ling wholeheartedly agreed. "Exactly. Who would be stupid enough to cooperate with an Alien Species?"

Zhou Diao: "..."

’Don’t you know I’m cursing you?!!’

Feng Ling tilted her head and looked at him. "What’s with that look? Were you just cursing me?"

Zhou Diao snorted coldly. His Beast Claw lifted two corpses and tossed them over. "Hmph. Stop playing dumb."

Feng Ling chuckled. "I’m not cooperating with an Alien Species. I’m raising her."

She asked Huangfu Miaomiao, who was busy smashing corpses, "Isn’t that right?"

Huangfu Miaomiao paused, then forced herself to agree. "Yes, Mother."

Feng Ling smiled and lifted her chin at Zhou Diao.

Zhou Diao glared at her furiously and tore a nearby corpse to shreds.

Just then, Qin Liang, who had been in charge of filming, suddenly called out, "I found something!"

Everyone looked over at the sound of his voice. Qin Liang was standing by a cave opening. "There are corpses in this cave too, and they’re strangely shaped."

"Move aside, let me see." Zhou Diao frowned and walked over.

But Qin Liang couldn’t help but lean into the cave. "Something’s not right. There’s something under the corpse..."

Before he could finish, Qin Liang gasped and scrambled backward!

At the same time, a blue-black crawler, as big as a full-grown man, shot out of the opening! Its massive mandibles clamped down on Qin Liang’s military-issue headlamp in a flash—

CRACK!

The headlamp shattered, and the crawler’s entire head was smashed by the Beast Claw.

The arriving Zhou Diao roared furiously at Qin Liang, "I told you to follow my orders! Who gave you permission to act on your own?!"

Qin Liang’s expression was tense, his eyes wide. He drew his sidearm, aimed it at the cave entrance, and shouted, "They’re—they’re all coming out!"

Two more blue-black crawlers tore through the skin of the corpses and scurried out!

"Move!" Zhou Diao yelled.

Everyone immediately retreated from the small opening, back into the large cavern where they had first arrived.

The two worms also crawled out of the opening. They were unbelievably fast and had a single target, lunging and snapping at the flashlights and lamps!

Zhou Diao tore the worms to pieces with his Beast Claw. Hearing the skittering sounds of crawling worms from the cave openings all around them, he immediately gave an order: "Incendiary grenades for light! Prepare to fire!"

Everyone formed a circle, standing back-to-back with their guns aimed at the surrounding cave entrances.

Xiao Li and Cao Hongyi quickly pulled incendiary grenades from their backpacks. They threw them to the left and right, instantly illuminating the entire cavern in stark detail—from the dark cave openings, Centipede-like heads emerged, their antennae waving in the air, waiting for the right moment to strike!

"Fire!"

At Zhou Diao’s command, gunfire thundered through the cave!

The Special Attack Team was made up entirely of highly trained sharpshooters. One after another, the worms were shot in the head and fell from the openings, their bodily fluids splattering everywhere, their carapaces shattered by bullets.

A few of the thicker worm-monsters withstood the gunfire and charged. Before Feng Ling could even act, Zhou Diao rushed forward like a protective mother tiger and tore them to shreds!

Standing among them, Feng Ling actually felt a bit useless. She couldn’t help but think, ’Zhou Diao might be unlikable, but he really gives it his all when he’s working.’

She matched the Special Attack Team’s combat rhythm and killed a few worms as well.

The gunfire continued unabated until not a single worm emerged from the openings, then it gradually died down.

The ground was covered in worm corpses and a foul-smelling ooze.

The team members didn’t dare to let their guard down. They quickly reloaded their ammunition and continued to aim their guns at the openings.

"Stay vigilant!" Zhou Diao said in a low voice.
