54: Chapter 54 Supply Point Pharmacy

After Feng Bo gave the order, he dashed out like a black panther.

Vine Control~

He activated his Primary Plant Control ability, and the vines spreading everywhere launched attacks nearby, shooting toward those Vine Parasite Corpses closest to them.

The Vine Parasite Corpses pounced toward the entire squad like beasts, yet the moment they moved, their limbs were entangled by the vines.

Their strength was immense, and amidst the tearing, a large number of vines snapped. In just a few breaths, more than half of the dozen or so Vine Parasite Corpses had already broken free.

Taiwan Novel Network is great for relaxation, super practical.

'Distributed control is indeed a bit weak after all.'

A thought flashed through Wang Ting's mind as his figure violently rushed in front of a Vine Parasite Corpse mere three meters away from him.

He directly smashed down with a punch, hitting the head of the Vine Parasite Corpse squarely. After a crisp cracking sound, the head of the entire Vine Parasite Corpse was broken.

Wang Ting acted decisively. Seeing Wang Ting approach, those Vine Parasite Corpses swarmed over like starving wolves pouncing on food.

Bang, bang, bang.

Gunshots rang out one after another as Feng Bo and the others aimed their gun muzzles at the Vine Parasite Corpses attempting to attack Wang Ting.

They formed groups of three, covering each other back-to-back, keeping their eyes on those monsters that might attack simultaneously from all directions.

Bullets rained down like raindrops, striking the bodies of the Vine Parasite Corpses and instantly causing flesh and vines to fly everywhere.

Even though their physical bodies were tough and could withstand a certain amount of bullet attacks, after being hit too many times, their bodies would still be battered apart, and soon two Vine Parasite Corpses fell.

Because of the attacks from Feng Bo and the others, the attention of the Vine Parasite Corpses was instantly diverted. A portion of the Vine Parasite Corpses changed direction and charged toward Feng Bo and the others, while another portion was still besieging Wang Ting. For a time, the offensive of the Vine Parasite Corpses became scattered.

Wang Ting urged the vines. This time, he did not manipulate the vines on a large scale to crowd-control all the Vine Parasite Corpses.

Instead, he manipulated a large number of vines to fiercely attack the bodies of the Vine Parasite Corpses rushing toward Feng Bo and the others. The seven or eight Vine Parasite Corpses preparing for the siege were instantly slowed down by the vines.

The six Vine Parasite Corpses remaining on Wang Ting's side, due to the weakened vine control, immediately roared, broke free from the restraints, and headed straight for him.

The low roars were like the howling of evil ghosts.

Wang Ting looked at these charging monsters, yet his heart was as calm as lake water.

A Vine Parasite Corpse lunged face-to-face towards him, at a distance of merely half a meter.

Wang Ting swung his fist, delivering a heavy hammer-like punch. Hearing a muffled thud, the Vine Parasite Corpse flew backward, and the umbilical cord vine connected to its back was directly snapped.

Once the umbilical cord vine broke, red liquid flowed from the eyes of the Vine Parasite Corpse. It became even more crimson and eerie, emitting a demon-like roar from the depths of its throat.

Its body bulged, cracks appeared all over its skin, its flesh began to peel off, revealing vine-like muscles.

That Vine Parasite Corpse roared angrily, headed straight for Wang Ting, and pounced to kill once more.

'The vines being broken actually makes it even more powerful?'

Wang Ting's expression turned stern, and he couldn't help but show a bit more solemnity.

Facing the pouncing monster, he did not dodge, but lunged forward directly, then sent it flying with a heavy elbow strike. At this time, the other Vine Parasite Corpses also rushed over.

Without looking back, Wang Ting held a machete and slashed back immediately. A flash of blade light flickered; although it paused slightly, jammed by the vine muscles, as the blade swept past, the head of the Vine Parasite Corpse was directly chopped off by him.

The Vine Parasite Corpse on the left had already reached his side. Seeing it was about to crash into his body, Wang Ting took a step to the right, dodging the pounce.

He swung his fist like a hammer, delivering a top-down heavy strike that smashed the Vine Parasite Corpse onto the ground.

His movements were smooth and flowing, and his attacks were exceptionally fierce. Facing the continuous pouncing of the Vine Parasite Corpses, he knocked these Vine Parasite Corpses away one by one with his fists and kicks.

Although the Vine Parasite Corpses were powerful, how could their physical fitness at this moment compare to Wang Ting's?

After the second limit-breaking, the power contained in his body started at 1000kg, and a single punch or kick was enough to completely shatter bones.

That Vine Parasite Corpse wanted to tear and bite Wang Ting's body, but under the defense of the sand scorpion armor and Scorpion Skin, the attacks had no effect whatsoever.

Wang Ting grew increasingly brutal. On one hand, he entangled the Vine Parasite Corpses with vines; on the other hand, he blasted out with heavy punches. One could only hear continuous cracking sounds as the Vine Parasite Corpses were hacked to death with blades and hammered to death with fists by Wang Ting one by one.

In just a few breaths, the six Vine Parasite Corpses died beyond recognition.

Wang Ting completed the kills. The surrounding vines found an opening and rapidly coiled toward the remaining two Vine Parasite Corpses.

Feng Bo and the others continuously strafed with bullets. At this time, only a sporadic two Vine Parasite Corpses attacking them were left, and they were quickly shot through the head one by one and completely killed.

The smell of gunpowder smoke from the bullets permeated the waiting area outside the pharmacy. Vine Parasite Corpses lay haphazardly on the ground, flesh and blood scattered everywhere, emitting a sweet and sickly stench of rot.

"What kind of monsters are these? Bullets hitting them are like hitting old tree bark. If it weren't for rifles, I'm afraid they couldn't be harmed even more."

Xiang Nan and the others felt lingering fear. Wang Ting sensed the vibrations around them; although there were still subtle vibrations within the main Hospital building, they were a bit farther apart.

"Search the pharmacy; there are probably quite a few monsters in this place."

At this point, everyone could also see that the reason this Hospital lacked Parasitic Fungus Vines was not because it was remote enough, but because the interior of the main Hospital building itself was nurturing even more powerful monsters.

Feng Bo pulled out the dagger at his waist, walked over to the Vine Parasite Corpse closest to him, half-crouched down, and forcefully sliced open the flesh of the Vine Parasite Corpse with his hand.

The sharp dagger cut through the skin and flesh, revealing the vines intertwined inside the Vine Parasite Corpse's body. The vines were intricate and complex, resembling a woven piece of muscle, entangling with the skeleton of the Vine Parasite Corpse to support this physique.

"No wonder bullets hitting this thing felt like hitting a tree trunk."

The body of a Vine Parasite Corpse was completely different from the remains parasitized by the Parasitic Fungus Vine. The parasitism of the Parasitic Fungus Vine merely utilized vines for control, whereas the Vine Parasite Corpse here completely assimilated the body, with the vines and skeleton fully fused.

Seeing the appearance of the Vine Parasite Corpse, Xu Yan also furrowed his brow slightly: "Could this be the second state of Parasitic Fungus Vine parasitism?"

The remains parasitized by the Parasitic Fungus Vine and the current appearance of the Vine Parasite Corpse being supported throughout its body by vines indeed had a few similarities.

Feng Bo thought for a moment and shook his head, saying: "I'm afraid not. The parasitism of the Parasitic Fungus Vine is more like a disguise, and they can already develop on their own; their life stage should be complete, and there shouldn't be such abnormal development. This monster is more like it was bred specifically to guard a certain place."

He pointed at the umbilical cord vine growing out of the Vine Parasite Corpse's body. The long vine acted like a controller, connecting it to those thick vine tree trunks inside the pharmacy.

Just as Feng Bo said, the Vine Parasite Corpses seemed like monsters bred specifically to guard this Hospital building.

They could not stay far from nutrient supplies and were entirely sustained by these giant vine trees. If the umbilical cord vines broke, they would plunge into utter madness, just as they had seen earlier.

"Captain, come take a look at this quickly; the pharmacy is a supply point."

Before Feng Bo could completely dissect the corpse of the Vine Parasite Corpse here, Xiang Nan's voice suddenly came over.

Wang Ting turned around, strode toward the pharmacy, pushed open the deformed door at the entrance, and walked in with big strides.

The entire pharmacy appeared chaotic due to the impact of the Vine Parasite Corpses just now. A large number of shelves had collapsed together, and the ground was a complete mess, scattered with numerous sheets of paper, medicine, and mottled bloodstains. Vines likewise pervaded every corner of the pharmacy.

At this time, Xiang Nan and the others were in the innermost part of the pharmacy.

Wang Ting arrived at the depths. Xiang Nan and the others made way, pointing their fingers in the direction of the giant vine tree.

Wang Ting looked in the direction pointed by their fingers, and his face instantly showed surprise.

Only to see that amidst the dense intersection of vines, a large number of vines wrapped around a large white box, with a red cross printed on the box, looking brand new, just like a first-aid kit just taken down from a shelf.

Wang Ting recognized what this thing was at a glance.

At this time, he looked along the direction where the vines spread. The vines extending from the giant vine tree clung to the entire wall, and amidst the intersection of these vines, each of them coiled around some items.

Some of these were first-aid kits like the one seen before, some were just a box of antibiotics, large packs of bandages, and a large amount of fresh food.
