Chapter 194 - 5.4 Warning!
Lu Yizhou promptly threw the arm to the side and cursed out a storm, unheeding of the frozen young man who was soaked in the disgusting liquid and Yves who snapped out of his senses and hastily pulled the latter away.
Lu Yizhou was focused on Edin’s twitching figure on the ground, who was screeching ’ah ah’ miserably. What the fuck was this creature? He was sure that he didn’t use enough strength to rip off a man’s limb just like that. In fact, it was Edin’s arm that was too soft to the touch. Yes, it was just like cotton. The slimy sensation almost engulfed his palms and Lu Yizhou flicked his hands in extreme disgust. Fortunately General Kai had been wearing gloves since the beginning. Otherwise Lu Yizhou had no idea how many times he would wash his hands until he could shake off the sticky sensation on his skin.
The members of Unit Oakenwind poured in following Lu Yizhou’s lead to free the civilians and guide them out.
Lu Yizhou blocked the hectic noises around him and counted the time. When he reached 250 seconds — the approximate time when someone would die of blood loss from a large injury — a strange phenomenon happened to Edin. His body promptly went slack, eyes and mouth hanging open wide. Then as if he was a balloon punctured by a sharp needle, his flesh started to melt, emitting a foul smelling gas that almost knocked Lu Yizhou unconscious. His eyes widened by a fraction and his lips parted — to Lu Yizhou, it was equivalent to yelling in shock — at the bizarre sight and for once, he ignored his discomfort, merely stepping aside to avoid having his boots dirtied to continue watching. He witnessed first hand the way Edin’s skin liquefied like a piece of tissue paper in the water before his whole body dissolved into a puddle of green liquid.
Just a few seconds ago, he was still very much human in the flesh but now...
A silent curse slipped off his mouth. What the fuck was this?!

"General!" Yves came in wearing a biohazard mask and thank God, handed Lu Yizhou another one. His eyes were shining with full blown awe. "General is awesome! No sentinel has endured inhaling the parasite’s ejection gas for more than ten seconds without vomiting their guts out!"
Lu Yizhou, who was one step away from fainting, merely put on the mask and slowly, slowly let out the breath he had been holding.
