Wandering Meteor-Chapter 206 - 205: Parasitic Experiment

After the tidal wave passed.

Lu Xing’s flying house turned into a boat mode and landed on the surface of the ocean.

Then, Lu Xing began to search for Ma Shaoyu and the seven others, not knowing where the recent tidal wave might have swept these people off to.

When Lu Xing finally found Ma Shaoyu and the others a few kilometers away, they discovered to their surprise that these individuals were actually having a blast. The presence of swim balls kept them afloat on the ocean surface, which was calm and waveless. As they ran and exercised inside the balls, the swim balls rolled forward on the sea surface.

Thus, Ma Shaoyu and the others were as happy as if they were on vacation, completely forgetting the previous tidal wave, carefree to the extreme.

At this moment, the people inside the swim balls were all without clothes, because their only swimwear had transformed into the swim ball itself. Moreover, the material of the swim ball was so thin, only fifty atoms thick, that if it weren’t for its color, at a glance it would appear as though Ma Shaoyu and the others were running naked on the ocean surface, a situation that was quite bizarre for a time!

However, the thoughts of the era were very open now, and everyone had seen it all, so it was considered normal.

Therefore, when Lu Xing rescued Ma Shaoyu and others on board, there was no unusual reaction, except for Ma Shaoyu, who suddenly tripped and fell on the ship when boarding.

Lu Xing immediately helped Ma Shaoyu up and inquired about his condition. Ma Shaoyu appeared somewhat dazed, shaking his head to indicate he was alright, it was probably just his legs going soft from having just escaped disaster. freёweɓnovel.com

Lu Xing was somewhat worried at first, but seeing that Ma Shaoyu was still energetic enough to bounce about, he didn’t think too much of it and controlled the boat house towards the shore.

Meanwhile.

The tidal wave was growing increasingly higher and larger as it advanced.

Now nearing a hundred meters in height and almost a thousand meters in length, it had swept up to the coastline, threatening the seaside city on the shore.

Even before the tidal wave had struck, the city’s meteorological department and police department had already detected the tidal wave, analyzing its cause while calculating the harm it could cause to the city, and finally deciding on a response strategy based on the level of danger.

Eventually, the police department decided to request support from the air force and asked the air force to dispatch specialized fighter jets to use air cannons to pre-emptively disperse the tidal wave and prevent it from reaching inland cities.

Soon, twenty fighter jets arrived for support, deploying near the coastline.

When the tidal wave entered their firing range, the twenty fighter jets simultaneously fired twenty air cannons, specifically targeting twenty structural points on the flat surface of the tidal wave.

An air cannon is a weapon designed to compress and fire out air with high pressure. Although its power is not as strong as energy weapons, it can sometimes be very useful within a planet’s atmosphere.

Like now, for instance, under the targeted assault of the twenty air cannons, the connections between sections of the tidal wave were severed. The air cannons dispersed the massive expanse of the tidal wave, causing the thousand-meter-long wave to disintegrate instantly. After all, before the elite combat troops of a Level 3 civilization, just a tidal wave posed no real threat.

However, the dispersion of the tidal wave by the air cannons also led to the mass killing of a large number of fish in the ocean.

With the faint sounds of "bang bang bang," numerous fish were blown into a blood mist, turning half the sea red. The aftershock from the dispersed tidal wave surged onto the beach, also staining the sand red and brought up dead and dismembered fish, creating a horrifying sight.

Furthermore, some fish were blown high into the sky and then fell onto the beach, as if it were raining fish.

This bizarre scene caught the attention of the police department, who immediately reported the incident, and when the high-level officials of Earth Civilization learned of this, they dispatched professional biologists to the area right away.

After some research, the results were enough to shake Earth Civilization to its core.

This was because the scientists had collected many strange insect bodies on the beach, as well as some from the insides of the dead fish, which corresponded closely with the extraterrestrial creatures they had previously studied!

This meant that the Parasitic Civilization had indeed invaded Earth and started to reproduce in the oceans.

Considering that of the initial 300,000 small spacecraft, half had been destroyed and about half flew towards Green Star, roughly only 70,000 to 80,000 had landed on Earth.

However, the number of fish affected by this tidal wave was at least several million. These fish must have been controlled by the Parasitic Civilization after being infested; the Parasitic Civilization had likely used the tidal wave to attack cities of Earth Civilization and then taken the opportunity to infest the bodies of Earth People, exacting retaliation on Earth Civilization.

After confirming this information.

Earth Civilization immediately communicated with the Light Synthesis Civilization on Green Star and learned that they were experiencing similar incidents.

As a result, both civilizations agreed and declared that Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization would both enter a state of emergency alert.

From the moment the order was declared, all interplanetary flights were temporarily halted, and private spaceships were also banned from traveling. Whether it was Light Synthesis People on Earth or Earth People on Green Star, they were all instructed to settle down temporarily until the Parasitic Civilization was completely wiped out within both planets, before normal traffic could resume.

Subsequently, Earth Civilization and Light Synthesis Civilization each established special emergency teams, responsible for mobilizing global resources to perform an extensive internal sweep.

To confirm the information on the Parasitic Civilization, Earth Civilization brought back the bodies of the parasitic creatures for further study and collected data on recent unusual wave activity in coastal cities. There were even people tasked with tracking and investigating citizens who had visited the beach in the past month.

Because these citizens could potentially have been infested as well.

While the special emergency team was carrying out its powerful actions, the scientists studying the parasitic creatures also had new intelligence.

The scientists revived a parasitic creature and then used a rat for a parasitism experiment, observing the parasite’s method of infestation, timing, and state of being parasitized, including cellular, organ, life, and mental conditions.

However, the parasitic creature seemed very clever, aware that it was being controlled and used for experiments, and was initially resistant, refusing to infest even when presented with a rat.

Yet, the creature had no say in the matter, because the rat, driven by curiosity, began to play with the worm-like parasite and being hungry, even planned to eat it.

Sensing danger, the body of the parasitic creature sprung like a coil, breaking free from the rat’s claws, and upon landing, bit a hole in the rat’s back with its mouthparts and entered the rat’s body through it.

Under the display of an X-ray imager, the parasitic creature cleverly navigated along the blood vessels to a position near the brain. Then it used its mouthparts to sever the rat’s nerves and rapidly connected its own, completing the parasitism process.
