Alien Species Invasion? I Kill Them Back.

Chapter 6: Chapter 4: Mother’s Thoughts

The elevator stopped on the 10th floor. Su Yuqing couldn’t wait for it to go up, so he bolted up the stairwell instead.

A huge crash came from the 11th floor, sounding like a door being smashed to pieces, followed immediately by a nurse’s scream!

An alarm blared throughout the entire building.

Su Yuqing’s heart was racing with anxiety!

As soon as he reached the 11th floor, he saw the woman from before standing at the door of a hospital room. The floor at her feet was covered in a dark red slime, like a pool of blood or a mire.

Countless slender, blood-red tentacles extended from the pool of slime, wrapping around Feng Ling as densely packed as Vampire Worms!

The sight made Su Yuqing’s skin crawl. He drew his service pistol and fired—

’Even if I can’t kill it, I have to at least stall until the guards get here!’

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The woman took two hits. She immediately manipulated the tentacles to drag Feng Ling in front of her as a shield, while sending another portion of tentacles lunging toward Su Yuqing. The blood-red mire at her feet also began to spread rapidly in his direction.

Su Yuqing scrambled backward and looked up at Feng Ling—

Most of her body was tightly bound by the fine tentacles, leaving her completely immobile! The tentacles were still writhing upward, feeding on her blood and corroding her wounds!

Feng Ling, suffering from severe blood loss, had her eyes shut tight, her face almost completely drained of color.

Despair welled up in Su Yuqing’s heart.

’It’s over...’

’I can’t save her!’

Just then, a large group of guards finally arrived. Countless guns were aimed at the woman, the tentacles, or the blood-red slime at her feet—

The firepower was intense, and the sound of gunshots was deafening in the hallway!

The woman hastily retreated into the hospital room, holding up Feng Ling to block the doorway, once again using her as a human shield.

The gunfire stopped abruptly.

Inside the room, the woman looked irritated. She wanted to finish off Feng Ling quickly and get out of there.

But her ability couldn’t cause instant death; it could only weaken a target by draining their blood.

’Still, given the time, this hidden boss should be about to breathe her last, right?’

She frowned at Feng Ling and froze.

At some point, Feng Ling had opened her eyes and was now staring at her with a grim, dark expression.

’How is she not dead yet...’ The woman was startled, a faint sense of unease creeping in. She subconsciously summoned more Vampire Worms, only to see a third arm sprouting from above Feng Ling’s bound arms!

It was an arm born from flesh and blood—long, gaunt, and dripping with fresh blood that transformed into a Bone Blade. It then swung at her like the scythe of the Death God!

"AAAAAH!—"

The excruciating pain of her body being torn apart made the woman scream in agony!

A third of her body was sliced off, but no blood flowed from the wound—only countless writhing worms!

Feng Ling managed to break free from the swarm of worms and prepared to attack again with her newly grown arm.

But before she could move, the woman’s remaining body suddenly dissolved, instantly turning into innumerable worms that merged into the blood-red slime at her feet and shot out the door!

Gunfire erupted outside again. Slime splattered everywhere, and the thick stench of blood filled the entire floor.

Feng Ling waited for the gun smoke to clear before walking out of the room.

Su Yuqing bent down to inspect the floor, then stood up and shook his head at Feng Ling.

"It got away."

Feng Ling leaned against the doorframe, clutching her wound. Her pale lips curved slightly into a somewhat mocking smile.

Her eyes were filled with a grim, chilling coldness.

...

...

Feng Ling being attacked inside the Inspection Bureau was like a harsh slap across Su Yuqing’s face.

If he couldn’t even guarantee her safety, what right did he have to ask Feng Ling to join the Inspection Bureau?

In the hospital room, a Doctor nervously redressed Feng Ling’s wounds.

Besides the gash on her back shoulder that had reopened, her body was now covered in bite marks left by the Vampire Worms, as dense as countless pinpricks.

Su Yuqing stood to the side and asked worriedly, "How is she? Is it poisonous?"

"The test results aren’t back yet, but based on past experience, it should be a neurotoxin that causes paralysis," the Doctor said hesitantly. "...Perhaps because the exposure was brief, it didn’t cause significant physical damage."

Feng Ling listened to their conversation in silence.

’I originally thought that Card with the garbled text just made me physically stronger. Now it seems that not only have my resistance and healing abilities been enhanced, but my body also appears to be immune to certain toxins.’

’Thank goodness...’

’If not for this ability, the moment the Vampire Worms latched onto me, I would have been helplessly paralyzed and drained of blood until I died.’

Su Yuqing didn’t know Feng Ling had a hidden trump card. Hearing the Doctor’s words, he only felt shocked and filled with lingering fear.

"Our opponent’s ability allows it to easily escape pursuit, which is why it dared to attack the Inspection Bureau." He looked at Feng Ling, his voice full of apology. "I’ve already increased security on this floor, but I suspect the news that you possess two Cards has already been leaked. More Alien Species might come after you."

Feng Ling’s eyelids drooped. Having lost so much blood, she felt cold all over, her blood pressure had dropped, and her mind was somewhat foggy.

’I need to rest and recover as quickly as possible.’

’Otherwise, how can I, a sitting duck, fend off one attack after another?’

’This feeling is awful...’

’Irritated, anxious, annoyed... passively facing all these possibilities.’

The nurse beside her hung up a blood bag and muttered under her breath, "If only Ms. Ye were here..."

The atmosphere in the room instantly froze. Everyone fell silent in unison.

Feng Ling found it strange.

’Who is Ms. Ye?’

Before she could ask, Su Yuqing explained, "We used to have a very capable Inspector here named Ye Zheng. She was transferred to the Yunhai City branch of the Inspection Bureau due to her outstanding performance."

"It’s because Yunhai City is an economic and financial hub, while our Qingjiang City is just an insignificant second-tier city," the nurse couldn’t help but complain. "All the remotely capable Inspectors get transferred away. We can’t even recruit new people as fast as the higher-ups are poaching them."

The Doctor cleared his throat lightly.

The nurse pressed her lips together and said no more.

Su Yuqing gave a bitter smile. "There’s nothing to be done about it. The Alien Species Safety Inspection Bureau was founded less than half a year ago. Developing and training members takes time, but the number of Alien Species keeps growing... With limited manpower, we can only prioritize the security of a few key cities."

He didn’t seem to want to talk about it. He sighed silently, stood up, and said to Feng Ling, "Get some rest. We’ll investigate the Alien Species that attacked you as quickly as possible. I’ll inform you the moment we have any results."

Feng Ling nodded, watching him and the medical staff leave the room.

The door was left ajar, and she could see armed guards standing watch outside.

Feng Ling closed her eyes wearily.

’I suspect I must have obtained some incredible Card. Why else would two different Alien Species risk exposing themselves just to kill me?’

’The Card’s name is garbled, so I can’t figure it out from that. The abilities I’m aware of so far are enhanced physique, rapid recovery, and immunity to toxins.’

’Compared to superpowers like invisibility, spitting venom, or slashing people to bits, is my Card really that special?’

’It’s so confusing...’

’If I hadn’t absorbed the 「Killing Bee」 and 「Mantis」, I’d probably be a corpse by now.’

Feng Ling slowly opened her eyes.

A moment ago, she had not only used the Mantis’s ability but had also placed the Killing Bee’s mark on that woman.

"Mother’s Thoughts..."

Feng Ling savored the name of her new Skill as she murmured it, activating the mark. A trail of red mist materialized before her eyes, growing from faint to dense.

The mist was long, thin, and curved, extending out the door of the room, revealing the marked target’s path like a ribbon.

Feng Ling’s lips curled. "I see you..."

’This gut-wrenching, lingering longing...’
