Chapter 129: Zerg Invasion 23
Given the current situation, everyone remaining could be Parasitized.
Lu Qingyuan is the strongest and needs to stay in the lab to hold the fort, so the task of finding a Parasitized outside can only fall to her.
While everyone else’s attention was still on the sonar, Chu Yian had quietly slipped out.
Heading to the front lines, bravely capturing a Parasitized.
There was a Parasitized on the 18th floor, but that was a bit of a detour, so she went to the closest 20th floor first.
The school broadcast had stopped, and the 20th floor was extremely quiet.
Only half of the corridor lights were on, making the environment somewhat dim.
When Chu Yian first came down, she didn’t know if there was a Parasitized on this floor; the surroundings looked a bit eerie.
As the saying goes, caution is the parent of safety. She stood at the stairwell entrance and looked down and at both ends of the corridor. There was definitely no one here, so she didn’t have to worry about a Parasitized suddenly appearing and backstabbing her.
Excellent.
Chu Yian took two more steps forward, confirming that there was no one in the closest classroom to her.
A minute later, the elevator door on this floor chimed, and at the same time, music suddenly blared from inside a classroom, echoing throughout the entire floor.
“I am your great father, I raised you so big. Yet you don’t listen, always playing all day long. Get lost, get lost, scrambling away…”
What joyful music.
It instantly awakened the entire floor.
Several classroom doors opened, and people walked out of the experimental classrooms. They followed the sound of the music to the classroom and saw a phone with only two bars of battery left.
No one was there.
These people wandered through the classroom, behind bed curtains, under desks and chairs, inside cabinets that could hide people. They searched everywhere but couldn’t find Chu Yian. Then, with a bang, they smashed the phone, and the music abruptly stopped.
Where was Chu Yian at this moment?
She was behind the door at the stairwell.
The wooden door just happened to block her figure. If discovered, she could run back upstairs at the fastest speed, and most importantly, she could see the situation inside the classroom through the crack in the door.
The ringing attracted seven Parasitized in total. This was Chu Yian’s first time seeing them in a state without normal people present.
They were very quiet; not a single person spoke.
Their faces were expressionless, but their movements were very natural.
After searching this classroom fruitlessly, they dispersed to other classrooms, and some Parasitized came towards the stairwell.
Two Parasitized came over, and the other five were not far from the stairwell. This meant that if she went out now, she would not only face two Parasitized, but the other five Parasitized would also immediately rush to support if they heard any sound.
Catching a lone Parasitized was not an easy task.
Chu Yian watched the Parasitized getting closer and closer, even her breathing became lighter.
Closer still.
Two Parasitized walked side by side; they were only separated from Chu Yian by a door. She could even hear the sound of their clothes rubbing against each other as they walked!
They paused in place for two seconds. Chu Yian didn’t dare to look out again, clutching the miniaturized treasure box tightly in her hand.
However, they did not pull the door open to check. Chu Yian heard the sound of footsteps walking away outside. Looking through the door crack again, she saw the two of them leaving with their backs to her.
At this time, the other five were still searching their respective rooms. She had opened the elevator earlier, and if nothing went wrong, the elevator was currently stopped on the 20th floor.
Chu Yian slipped out from behind the door and slammed the treasure box heavily into one of the Parasitized.
The weight of the treasure box instantly blew off the Parasitized’s head, but it also startled the other Parasitized. He turned and lunged at Chu Yian, his mouth opening as wide as possible.
Chu Yian then pulled out a syringe and plunged it into his neck.
Because it was her first time injecting someone, she used a lot of force. When she pulled out the needle, blood spurted out, and at the same time, the Parasitized’s body softened like a noodle.
This was the anesthetic Chu Yian had drawn from the treasure box on the first day of the game. She had always carried it with her, and it came in handy today.
The effect was excellent, immediate.
But no matter how fast she dealt with the two, the remaining five Parasitized reacted. They all rushed out of their rooms and sprinted down the corridor.
Chu Yian dragged the anesthetized Parasitized into the elevator and pressed the button for the 21st floor.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, these people had already caught up. Chu Yian threw out the treasure box again, which instantly enlarged to block the elevator entrance. The sound of fingernails scraping against metal echoed in her ears, and the elevator doors finally closed completely.
Her back was completely soaked with sweat, and her mind was still in a state of high tension. It wasn’t until the treasure box, left on the 20th floor, transformed back into a palm-sized pattern and returned that the elevator chimed open.
She returned to the twenty-first floor.
But she wasn’t safe.
Footsteps from the stairwell indicated that the Parasitized had already caught up. Chu Yian dragged the Parasitized at her feet and sprinted towards the laboratory at the end of the corridor; the Parasitized were already right behind her.
At this moment, the laboratory door opened.
As Chu Yian flashed inside, Lu Qingyuan also dragged the Parasitized, whose body was still half outside, into the room.
“Quick, close the door!”
Someone inside the room exclaimed, and Lu Qingyuan had already closed the door.
Chu Yian bent over, panting heavily, then plopped down onto the floor.
Too tired.
Mainly due to mental tension and pressure.
At this moment, everyone gathered around, looking at the person Chu Yian had just brought back from outside.
“Who is this?”
“Why bring him back?”
“When did you go out?”
Chu Yian was too exhausted to answer their questions at this point. Lu Qingyuan handed her a bottle of mineral water and said, “The sonar was smashed. It needs to be tested after it’s repaired.”
“This is a Parasitized Little Chu brought back from outside, to test the sonar,”
Chu Yian nodded at his words, then twisted open the mineral water bottle.
She took two sips, then used the remaining water to wash her face, making herself clear-headed and calm again. Although a Parasitized had been found, the Parasitized among them had not yet been found, and the matter was not over.
“But he seems dead, he’s not moving.”
Principal Li was a little afraid of the Parasitized. He poked the Parasitized’s body with a broom from the laboratory.
“He’s not dead, just anesthetized.”
Chu Yian replied, “We’d best find a place to lock him up now, and test him as soon as he wakes up.”
To save trouble, simply tying him up for the test would suffice, but Chu Yian deliberately said she wanted to test him separately.
This was mainly to make the Parasitized among them lower their guard, so they wouldn’t act rashly and cause trouble at a critical moment.
Once the sonar was repaired, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with him.
