Chapter 219 - 5.29 Dangerous Feline
The screams and chaos was getting louder. The parasites must have reached the floor right below them. For a while, Lu Yizhou and Doctor Wyatt stared at each other, none intending to back down. It wasn’t until one of the nurses screeched, "Doctor Wyatt, they are here!" that Lu Yizhou averted his gaze away with a sigh. He could feel the tension on Terra’s body through their linking hand, clearly worried for the doctor yet still insisted on coming with Lu Yizhou.
"Don’t die so quickly." Lu Yizhou finally said.
Doctor Wyatt rolled his eyes, irked. "Don’t worry, I will live longer than you, General." His eyes fell upon Terra next, and their eyes did the talking that only guides could understand. The tight line on Doctor Wyatt’s lips softened and he said to Lu Yizhou as he turned his back. "I will leave Terra’s safety in your hands."
Lu Yizhou nodded and started walking away. "I will come back soon."
They finally parted right before the parasites reached them and behind him, Lu Yizhou could hear Doctor Wyatt bellowing angrily. "Running and making a ruckus in the hospital is forbidden, dumbasses!" Lu Yizhou almost smiled if not for their current situation.
"Let’s go." Lu Yizhou squeezed Terra’s hand. Passing through the window, he saw more and more parasites climbing in through the wall. The police had been alerted and sirens rang out in the distance. He also heard the rumble of the helicopter’s rotor blade. With his jaws clenched tight, he navigated his way through the chaotic hospital, weaving through the crowd of panicked patients, doctors and nurses, with 666 leading the route. Monroe was flying in front of them, opening the way and acting as Lu Yizhou’s right eye.
Their destination: Yves’ room.
There was no place safer than with the person whom the universe adored. With Yves, there would be no real life-threatening danger. But to do that, they had to make a detour around the hospital to the opposite wing. They ran up the stairs and Lu Yizhou was too distracted by the noises around and inside his mind that he didn’t notice the silent parasite who was sneaking in on him from behind right within his blind spot, eyes focusing on the crate in Lu Yizhou’s pocket. He was startled when Terra suddenly let go of his hand and turned in time to see the guide holding an arm out toward a middle aged salaryman whose expression was twisted oddly, eyes flashing green.
Damn it!
Lu Yizhou reached out and promptly froze when he saw the scene unfolding in front of his eyes.
Terra didn’t even touch the man and the distance between them was still a few meters away. Yet as if tripped by an invisible rope, the salaryman crashed flat to the ground, face first, his head promptly exploded to pieces like a cracked green watermelon. Terra’s expression was flat, almost unbothered and cold, as he killed the parasite without batting an eyelid. Then as if nothing happened, he turned to Lu Yizhou and raised a brow, challenging him to say something. Perching on top of his head was Blackie who was licking its paw with a satisfied expression like it had just eaten a whole fish.
