Chapter 421 - 419: The Tide of Sea Urchins
"So it’s really like that, eh? As long as they recognize someone as one of their own, they don’t attack..."
"Looking at it this way, their behavior patterns are somewhat similar to zombies. If this spreads, it could become a terrifying plague. But it’s been over a dozen days, and the island hasn’t been quarantined. The epidemic is still confined within it."
After being embraced by the girl, Wen Wen was seen as one of their kind by these infected people, so he could move around freely here.
However, their spikes couldn’t even pierce through Wen Wen’s Containment Officer uniform.
Not to mention that Wen Wen had scratchlessly scratched over his entire body. Even without the Containment Officer uniform, those spikes couldn’t even penetrate his oily skin.
The scene just now, where a pile of Sea Urchin People pounced at Wen Wen, might have caused an ordinary person to faint from fear, but Wen Wen was no ordinary person. That scene wasn’t as shocking to him as watching sick individuals who could only wait for death.
After being identified as a companion by these Sea Urchin People, Wen Wen could move around much more conveniently.
He spent an entire afternoon exploring every corner of the village, gaining more understanding of it.
There were probably thousands of people in the whole village, each infected with the Sea Urchin Syndrome. Those uninfected must have been rescued by the Hunter Association long ago.
The smell in the village was stronger and more nauseating than that of a seafood market.
