The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 481: Parasitic Species

However, a problem arose; it found that it couldn't adapt to the climate of this planet! Shortly after arriving on this planet, it felt its life rapidly fading away. If it didn't find an intelligent life to merge with in a short time, it would die! It was the last survivor of its own species, and it absolutely couldn't afford to die!

So, it diligently searched, where were the intelligent life forms?

For several days, it searched but couldn't find any intelligent life. Of course, the main reason was its slow movement.

Its true form was a jelly-like creature that moved by bouncing. Just when it felt it was about to meet its end, it finally saw a person before it, the Young Man it would merge with.

At that time, the Ghost Clan had not yet appeared, and an ordinary person suddenly encountering an extraterrestrial being was naturally terrified.

Originally, it had wanted to merge with the young man's brain, thereby gaining partial control. However, it overestimated its own strength, the fusion of the brain failed, and it had no choice but to settle for the young man's heart.

Yet again, it failed. It knew it had one last chance. In desperation, it chose the young man's right hand.

His own right hand was no longer his own, leaving the young man stunned. When had he ever seen something so bizarre?

He didn't tell anyone, not even his family. He feared that he would be captured and dissected. After all, he was a city dweller and had seen a bit of the world.

Not long after, the Ghost Clan appeared, and although it didn't immediately affect the city he was in, news spread like wildfire, letting the people in the city know that the situation for humanity was dire.

Later, the king died, and the Yan Yun Star regime collapsed, instilling panic in everyone's hearts. The young man could only stay at home, idle and anxious.

After the extraterrestrial being merged with his right hand, it remained unresponsive for quite some time. He almost thought that what he had seen was just a dream.

It wasn't until the extraterrestrial being woke up that he realized it was all real.

After some communication, the young man learned that this extraterrestrial being called itself a Parasitic Species. They enjoyed parasitizing intelligent beings and merging with them, benefiting both parties.

The young man discovered that his physique had indeed undergone significant changes, considering that his original body was far from healthy.

During the following period, the city was in a state of turmoil, and he dared not roam freely. He heard about various incidents happening in different places. As an ordinary person, he could only hide at home.

But he never expected that trouble would find him even at home.

One day, the City Defense Army suddenly stormed into his house and took him and his parents away, accusing them of being involved in a robbery.

Of course, the young man knew he hadn't committed any robbery, but no one would listen to him. He and his parents were taken to a heavily guarded facility where many others were also detained.

Every day, some people were taken from the cages, and none of them returned. Soon, it was their turn, him and his parents.

When the three of them were brought to a massive laboratory and heard the various screams around them, he finally understood why no one had returned. Those people had all died from experiments!

The young man was placed on an examination table, his body bound, unable to move, and someone injected a dark gray liquid into him.

Before long, he felt excruciating pain, causing him to scream uncontrollably.

The pain was indescribable, as if someone had opened up his brain, stuffed something inside, and then ripped it out, resulting in a piercing scream echoing throughout the laboratory.

Amidst the agony, he faintly saw two horns appearing on his parents' foreheads, along with some peculiar patterns on their faces, but... they were already dead.

The death of his parents had a profound impact on him. Just when he felt he could no longer bear it, the extraterrestrial being he had been guarding against suddenly acted.

This extraterrestrial being detached itself from his right hand, hovering in mid-air. Its central portion formed a mouth and emitted eerie tones.

"Ah!!! My ears!"

People around heard this tone and immediately clutched their heads, screaming in agony. Shortly thereafter, they all died.

After eliminating those around, the extraterrestrial being dropped onto the young man's body. It slowly moved its body, and then something jelly-like separated from his right hand and entered the young man's brain.

The sensation was like a scorching hot summer day suddenly being cooled by a downpour, sending a chilling feeling through his entire body.

Suddenly, the young man realized that he couldn't feel pain in his body anymore, and a powerful force spread throughout him.

With this opportunity, the young man felt a deep hatred for everyone in the city.

After observing everything, Su Chen withdrew his psychic power. He felt only slight remorse for the young man's ordeal, and as for Lily killing him, Su Chen didn't feel a shred of guilt.

"Can you speak?" Su Chen asked.

At this point, a mouth and a pair of eyes appeared in the palm of the right hand. It looked at Su Chen and said, "What do you want to ask?"

"How did your parasitic host manage to kill everyone in the city within a year or two?"

"Initially, when he was injected with Ghost Clan blood and was on the brink of death, I separated a portion of my essence to save his life. I had no choice. As a Parasitic Species, once the host dies, I would die too. Trading half of my life to keep both of us alive was a profitable deal. I didn't want to do it in the first place, after all..."

Just as the Parasitic Species was about to launch into a lengthy explanation, Su Chen decisively interrupted, "Enough with the chit-chat, get to the point."

"Oh, it might be a reaction between Ghost Clan blood and my life essence that gave him the ability to bewitch others. At first, this ability wasn't very strong, but as he killed more people, his power grew stronger. By the time he died, he had reached what you humans call the eighth order."

The Parasitic Species had no intention of hiding anything and revealed everything.

Su Chen's psychic power confirmed that the Parasitic Species wasn't lying.

"But considering your species' characteristics, once the host dies, shouldn't you die as well? Why are you still alive?"

The Parasitic Species rolled its eyes in a somewhat human-like manner. "When did I ever say that I would die immediately if the host died? Even if I die, it takes some time, okay?"
