Chapter 75 Reinforcements Arrive
"Squeak, squeak--"
"Squeak, squeak--"
The noisy calls became clearer and clearer, and the manic and excited calls were approaching like a tide.
The muddy road in the distance was coated with a layer of gray-brown. Under the moonlight, Lin Yi saw the things that kept approaching here.
They were mice, mice that were supposed to hide in the woods.
Each of them was as long as a child's arm, and their red eyes exuded a terrifying brilliance.
They were covered with gray-brown hard hair, and when they ran, their bald tails shook excitedly behind them.
These things...are the mice in the woods?
This was the first time Lin Yi saw the mice mentioned by the villagers.
If there were only a few, it would be fine, but the mice in front of him were crowded together, which made people shudder.
As they kept approaching, it seemed that even the air was filled with a suffocating stench, and those harsh calls hit the eardrums, constantly stimulating the nerves of Lin Yi and others.
"There are more." Zhou Kai did not remove his ability, but he did not focus all his energy on hearing.
He raised his head slightly to signal Lin Yi to look up. The moment he looked up, Lin Yi was startled by the scene in front of him.
The sky in the distance was dark, like a dark cloud that was constantly approaching here.
The dark cloud kept coming with rough and hoarse calls, gradually blocking the faint light from the moon.
The dark feathers, the rotten flesh on the chest and the constantly wriggling granulations, the dark cloud was the strange birds living on the trees.
"Why are these things... here?!"
The saint's increasingly thin face showed a trace of anger, gritting her teeth and roaring angrily, but because of being too excited, she coughed even more.
"Why did these strange things run to the village?" Lin Yi was also puzzled.
There were these strange animals everywhere near the village. It was precisely to keep them away from the village that these aliens controlled the host to concentrate on processing corpses in the woods north of the village and attract these strange things to a fixed place.
This balance has lasted for a long time, so the village where the aliens live will always exist.
And now, the balance has been broken.
"It's Lu Linhai and Zhang Cheng." Zhou Kai understood what Lu Linhai meant by "reinforcements".
A rat suddenly jumped out of the rat group and pounced on the villagers at the outermost edge of the crowd.
The alien controlled the man and grabbed the rat when it was about to pounce.
However, there were too many rats. One after another, the rats in the rat group began to jump on the villagers and quickly climbed up their legs.
The alien controlled the villagers to fight back, but there were too many rats and they could not completely eliminate them.
The villagers shook off the rats that climbed up their legs and stepped on the rats when they landed.
The rats that were trampled to death had blood in their mouths, and the taste of blood stimulated the rats to attack more crazily.
No matter how powerful the villagers were, these rats would always find a chance to bite them.
The rats climbed onto the villagers' faces, trying to get into their mouths. Some even gathered together to bite one spot, greedily tearing the flesh off the villagers.
Their greed for food made them desperate, not afraid of the villagers' attacks at all.
The strange birds approached, but they did not fly down immediately, but watched from the sky.
They found the right time and swooped down quickly, aiming at the eyes of the villagers.
What happened at this time was not a good thing for Lin Yi and his friends, after all, these crazy rats and strange birds would also attack them.
However, the arrival of these rats and strange birds made the village chaotic.
Lin Yi took advantage of the rats and strange birds distracting the villagers, took off his coat, covered his right hand and the knife in his hand, and rushed to Zhou Yun quickly.
He clenched the knife in his hand and stabbed the villagers who were holding Zhou Yun.
Rats and strange birds would be attracted by the smell of blood, so Lin Yi wrapped his hand with his coat.
Once the man was stabbed, he threw away the coat and knife together to ensure that there was no blood to the greatest extent.
The knife that An Chengdao had polished was very sharp, and the blade pierced into the man's body, but he still did not let go of Zhou Yun's hand.
"Give her to me!" The saint screamed with her last strength.
The alien in her body knew that the current situation was very bad, and what was worse was that the body it parasitized was no longer good.
This village was finished, and it had to leave, but it could not leave at all with its original speed, so it was eager to get Zhou Yun at this time.
The moment the sound rang, the villager's left foot suddenly exerted force.
There was another muffled "click" sound, and the alien jumped in front of the saint at the cost of the man's left leg breaking.
"You... are mine..." The saint's skinny face was like a withered rotten wood at this time, and the white eyes shook violently, and then quickly shrank back.
Something was crawling under her clothes on her back, and the alien was separating from the saint's body.
The saint's face began to twist, she seemed to be in great pain, but her weak body could not make any sound.
Lin Yi rushed forward without hesitation, and so did Zhou Kai.
However, the villagers would not let them pass. The alien parasitic in the saint's body was their leader. They would not let Lin Yi and Zhou Kai get close until the leader completed the host replacement.
Moreover, the alien parasitic in their bodies also set their sights on Lin Yi and Zhou Kai's bodies.
The soft body of the alien emerged from the collar of the saint. Two eyes and more black hairs stretched out from the sticky white flesh, waving excitedly in the air.
Zhou Yun stared at the thing that emerged from the collar of the saint. Although Lin Yi and Zhou Kai had not yet told her what it was, they could probably guess that it was not a good thing.
Her right hand was held by the villagers, so she put her left hand into her pocket and carefully fiddled with something.
Just when the alien was about to completely emerge, Zhou Yun pulled out her left hand and threw the thing in her hand at the white alien.
It was the lime powder that Zhou Yun had put in his pocket in advance.
Another bottle of lime powder was sprinkled on the eyes of the alien, and the eyes quickly retracted into the body, and the disgusting body began to wriggle painfully.
The alien could not speak after leaving the host, but the villagers who were parasitized by the alien seemed to understand what the white alien wanted to express, and they also firmly grasped Zhou Yun's left hand.
Zhou Yun gritted his teeth, raised his leg and kicked the Saint, but the Saint was no longer effective at this time. Even if she was kicked down, she could not stop the alien from crawling towards Zhou Yun.
Seeing the alien getting closer and closer to Zhou Yun, suddenly, a small figure jumped out of the crowd.
He was inconspicuous in the night, and the chaos caused by the rats and strange birds, as well as the resistance of Lin Yi and Zhou Kai, allowed this little guy to successfully get out of the crowd.
The small figure ran desperately, crying and shouting as he ran: "Don't hurt my mother!"
That was the little tiger that Lin Yi had met before. As he approached, Lin Yi saw the silk thread on his body again, connected to Zhou Yun.
