Chapter 4: Mysterious Death

Late at night, the moonlight was reddish, and it was quiet and silent.

The gentle breeze could not blow away the crimson mist.

In a tent in the southeast corner of Tiemu Camp, in the suburbs of Binhai.

Chen Ping looked at the larvae in his hand with bated breath.

Without an advanced detector, it was impossible to read the properties of the alien larvae.

But he had some knowledge before his rebirth.

The tamable alien larvae have two skills, namely primary parasitism and primary devouring.

Primary parasitism can parasitize a host and then absorb the host's life to make itself grow rapidly.

Primary devouring can devour the skills or talents of a target and let it have it, but the target's level must be lower than its own.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Chen Ping walked out of his tent quietly.

As soon as he left the tent, he ran into an acquaintance.

Wang Cheng, originally a small manager of Chen's enterprise, recognized Chen Ping when he was having dinner in the evening, although Chen Ping was now covered with wounds and his face was full of scabs.

But in the five years before the end of the world, Chen Ping was too popular, especially among the employees of Chen's enterprise. Almost no one didn't know the eldest son of the Chen family!

"Hey! Isn't this the eldest son of the Chen family? How did he end up here?"

Chen Ping and Wang Cheng had no grudges, but Wang Cheng had no good feelings towards the Chen family. When he worked in Chen's enterprise, he worked overtime every day and was exploited.

However, these had little to do with Chen Ping. He never asked about the Chen family's industry, and most of his living expenses were the prize money he got from playing professional games.

After the release of the game "Scarlet Doomsday", it brought huge benefits to the Chen family.

Chen Ping did not get much money from the Chen family.

"Do you know me?" Chen Ping frowned slightly.

"The eldest son of the Chen family, how could I not know him?"

Wang Cheng laughed evilly. In fact, he did not directly publicize Chen Ping's identity, but just wanted to use it as a threat to exchange for some benefits.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, Chen Ping was once the eldest son of the Chen family. It is impossible that he has nothing on him!

Chen Ping nodded: "I understand! Where is your tent? Let's go in and talk!"

Wang Cheng saw Chen Ping so "enlightened", and took Chen Ping to his tent happily while there was no one around.

After a while, Chen Ping stood in Wang Cheng's tent and took out the larvae of the alien insects.

"Don't pick it up, when we become stronger, we will definitely find the best rations for you!"

Chen Ping frowned slightly. He never expected that the insects that were not even the size of a little finger would actually have a slight resistance reaction.

After all, it is the end of the world now, and Chen Ping is not surprised. Seeing the larvae crawling on Wang Cheng's forehead, he also went back to his tent to rest at ease.

If you want to recover as soon as possible, rest and food are both essential.

The night of the scarlet end of the world seems to be longer.

Chen Ping had no dreams all night and slept very comfortably.

Perhaps because of the "reincarnation of fate", Chen Ping's seemingly serious injuries have recovered by now.

Before his rebirth, he was thrown into a mass grave and recuperated in the Lin family for more than two months. Now, only the scabby wound still hurts a little, but his movements are not restricted.

"Ah! Someone's dead!"

"Oh no, someone's dead!"

"Someone come!"

Chen Ping was awakened by the noisy sound. He stretched first and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Oh my god!"

A thumb-sized, jade-white insect was lying on Chen Ping's nose.

This scared Chen Ping so much that he sat up and almost shot the insect away.

Chen Ping was not afraid of insects, but as soon as he woke up, he saw the insect between his eyes and reacted a little too much.

"You scared me, can you change the place next time?"

He and the insect were in tune with each other, but this time he didn't get any response.

Chen Ping sighed, took the white insect off his nose, and put it close to his chest.

Then, he pretended to be panicked and walked out of his tent.

At this time, the deputy battalion commander and the captain of the third combat team in the camp had arrived and surrounded Wang Cheng's tent.

The rest of the ordinary people lined up on the side, looking very nervous, and some even had a pool of unknown liquid under their feet.

Those who could survive to this point in the Scarlet Doomsday had more or less experienced life-and-death crises. It was naturally not a small scene to scare them like this.

Chen Ping became suspicious and looked towards the deputy battalion commander.

In front of the deputy battalion commander, there was a dried corpse.

The flesh and blood on the body were all sucked dry, leaving only a skeleton wrapped in dry skin.

Through its appearance, Chen Ping vaguely guessed the other party's identity.

"Is this little guy so powerful?"

Chen Ping knew the power of the Zerg, but the premise was absolute numbers.

He felt that the ability of a single larva could not be that powerful.

However, the scene in front of him completely overturned his previous thoughts.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

Deputy Battalion Commander Sun Mu looked stern.

For the Tiemu Camp, even if dozens of ordinary people like this died, it would not have any impact.

The key point is that Wang Cheng's death was too bizarre.

All the blood and flesh were drained, and there was no obvious wound on the skin.

If it was man-made, then this person's ability might be stronger than the camp leader.

The worse situation is the scarlet beast.

If it is the second situation, then the entire camp will be in an extremely dangerous situation.

"I'll go gather people now!" The captain of Team 3 also knew the urgency of the situation.

There are five combat teams in the Tiemu Camp, of which Team 1 and Team 2 are responsible for hunting, and the rest are responsible for guarding the camp.

"Wait a minute, before we find out clearly, block the news as much as possible to avoid causing panic in the camp!"

"Understood!" The captain of Team 3 nodded, and then looked at the trembling people not far away: "Then they..."

"It is forbidden to leave this area. They have to go to the Scarlet Wilderness tomorrow. There may not be many who will come back alive by then."

"And after cleaning them up, they need to be re-selected. There is not enough time!" Sun Mu whispered.

Ordinary people going to the Scarlet Wilderness need enough physical strength to carry goods. These people replenished their food two days in advance. As for others, they just ensured that they would not starve to death. They had difficulty walking, let alone carrying goods.

After arranging everything, Sun Mu left here, and the captain of Team 3 led people to block this area and began to check all the ordinary people here.

"What happened last night?"

In a relatively clean and tidy tent, the captain of the third team, Zhao Qiang, stared at Chen Ping with sharp eyes.

"After I was brought here, I went into the tent to sleep until I was woken up at dawn. I don't know what happened!" Chen Ping answered with a normal look.

"It's already this time, and you are still lying?"

"Do you think we don't know what happened in the camp last night?"

Zhao Qiang said contemptuously.

"Captain Zhao, I only have twelve days left to live. What can I do? I just want to try my luck in the Scarlet Wilderness!"

"And I'm just an ordinary person at the bottom. Even if I want to do something, I don't have the ability!"

In the tent, as Chen Ping's voice fell, it became extremely quiet.

"You go out first!"

After a while, Zhao Qiang really couldn't see Chen Ping's flaws, so he waved his hand.

He used this method to deceive more than a dozen people, but still had no clues.

After dealing with Zhao Qiang, Chen Ping stayed in his tent for a whole day without leaving.

What he is most worried about now is the larvae in his arms.

Since the morning, he has been unable to get in touch with the larva.

In the afternoon, he found that the larva in front of his chest had already formed a cocoon.

He knew nothing about this situation and could only hope that the larva would wake up before entering the Scarlet Wilderness.

For safety reasons, he had to re-plan.

Night fell again. This was the second night after Chen Ping's rebirth.

It was extremely quiet all around, and Chen Ping also left his tent quietly.
