Chapter 589: Chapter 589

"Brother Xun, is this the work of the Insect Clan?"

Using Demon Power to sever the sense of pain, Ge Changming felt no discomfort from Lu Zixun’s "surgery."

At this moment, Ge Changming sensed the spread of insect eggs in the air; his expression turned grave as he understood what this meant.

No matter how one puts it, even as a J-level Demon Ability User like Ge Changming, one couldn’t be immune to such parasites, let alone weaker Demon Ability Users.

Using Spiritual Fire, Ge Changming incinerated the Civilization Destroyers inside his body and then released the Spiritual Fire externally to burn the insect eggs as well.

"We need to cover our surroundings with Demon Power when we go out recently. I will go ask Qing Yuanyang what’s going on."

Summoning the Night Evil Sword, Lu Zixun gave instructions before heading towards Zone B.

Upon reaching Zone B and sensing Lin Siyin’s location,

the next second, he appeared right before Lin Siyin and before she could even ask,

he felt Lu Zixun’s Spiritual Energy infiltrating her.

Seeing this, Lin Siyin understood what Lu Zixun meant. She didn’t resist his Spiritual Energy but instead allowed him to investigate as she gave him a reassuring smile, "Da Ju, don’t worry, I’m fine."

After discovering that there were no traces of the Civilization Destroyer parasites inside Lin Siyin, Lu Zixun finally relaxed.

Just having been overly anxious about Lin Siyin, Lu Zixun now noticed that all of Zone B had been engulfed by coughing sounds.

In such a situation, if the Insect Clan were to attack, nobody could resist.

"This disease started around two in the afternoon; originating from a field hospital, it has now turned the entire Zone B into a quarantine zone," Lin Siyin quickly reported what she knew to Lu Zixun upon guessing his purpose.

"This is not a contagious disease; it’s a parasite. Its destructive power is comparable to a D-level Spiritual Ability User."

After explaining this to Lin Siyin, Lu Zixun continued, "Furthermore, it has a second life cycle. Even if you kill it inside the host, it will turn into eggs that drift in the air, waiting to parasitize again."

Hearing this, Lin Siyin furrowed her brows.

The harm this parasite could cause was incomparable even to the most infamous diseases in human society.

Moreover, its rate of transmission was countless times faster than those diseases.

With no warning signs, discovering the carrier meant it was already too late to prevent.

"Merely locking down Zone B might not prevent the spread of the Civilization Destroyer. Perhaps..."

Lu Zixun paused, not voicing his internal thoughts.

If relying on his Spiritual Fire to incinerate the carriers, it might still be possible to slow the spread of the Civilization Destroyers.

But it was unrealistic for Lu Zixun to save people one by one.

The entire Insect Slaying Zone, just Zone B, already had over four hundred thousand transient population.

And as more Spiritual Ability Users came to offer support, this number was still increasing.

With this amount of people, even if just ten percent were infected by the Civilization Destroyers, it was beyond what Lu Zixun could handle.

Raising his hand, he rubbed his throbbing temples, Lu Zixun felt that this was surely a long-premeditated conspiracy.

After a while, Lu Zixun raised his head to look at Lin Siyin, "Si Yin, go find your brother-in-law, shut down the transporter to the Crimson Academy from the Insect Slaying Zone; we can’t let the Civilization Destroyer spread."

Nodding, Lin Siyin went off to find Ge Changming, while Lu Zixun hurried towards the headquarters where Qing Yuanyang was.

On the streets, Spiritual Ability Users could be seen everywhere, covering their mouths coughing, the ground splattered with stains of blood.

For Lu Zixun, who always had his spiritual energy perception activated, this scene was simply a disaster.

The Civilization Destroyers in the air had already hatched, forming a dense mass.

Perhaps sensing that Lu Zixun was a normal person, they swarmed up and began to gnaw at the Spiritual Power Shield he had deployed.

As their mouthparts continuously gnawed, Lu Zixun’s spiritual energy was rapidly depleting.

"Can the protective shield still be broken?"

His eyes narrowed, Lu Zixun’s Spiritual Shield disappeared, and the Civilization Destroyers emitted sharp cries.

Before they could get close to Lu Zixun’s body, scorching Spiritual Fire appeared out of thin air and incinerated these Civilization Destroyers to ash.

"Ding—Kill Civilization Destroyer (juvenile) Reward: Super Energy Particles +10."

"Ding—Kill Civilization Destroyer (juvenile) Reward..."

Are these just juveniles...

Although he had gained about ten thousand Super Energy Particles from that blast of Spiritual Fire, Lu Zixun couldn’t feel happy at all—instead, his mood grew even heavier.

When he arrived at Qing Yuanyang’s office, he found that he was not there.

After grabbing someone and asking, Lu Zixun learned that he had already headed to the most dangerous place.

Outside the battlefield hospital, whether it was Lu Zixun’s illusion or not, it seemed like a layer of dark clouds enveloped the sky above the hospital.

With the constant coughing coming from the hospital, it made the entire place look horrifyingly eerie.

"Hold on, hold on, a Light Element Spiritual Ability User is coming soon."

"Light Element Spiritual Ability User, it can only suppress it for a while... She fainted, is there a Fire Element Spiritual Ability User doctor? Perform surgery immediately!"

"Cough cough cough... I... pfft."

As soon as Lu Zixun entered the hospital, a scene akin to purgatory unfolded before his eyes.

A nearby spiritual ability user hadn’t even finished speaking before he vomited a mass of dark blood and died.

Panic and unease started spreading; even among the spiritual ability users, faces were filled with despair.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun activated his Frost Domain.

Since Spiritual Fire couldn’t be used to treat those parasitized by Civilization Destroyers,

he would use the power of Guang Han Moon to freeze them, waiting for Crimson Academy to find a solution.

He incinerated the bodies directly, and the main hall of the battlefield hospital suddenly became quiet.

The coughing stopped, and the world seemed to return to silence in an instant.

Lu Zixun, feeling waves of dizziness in his mind, leaned on the wall and gasped for breath.

Freezing so many people at once while also incinerating the Civilization Destroyers’ Insect Eggs had completely drained his Spiritual Energy Acupoint.

After inspiration revealed Qing Yuanyang’s location, Lu Zixun staggered towards it.

Freezing them could indeed stop the Civilization Destroyers, but these ice blocks wouldn’t last long and could only serve to buy time.

Seeing Lu Zixun enter the medical room, Qing Yuanyang furrowed his brows, "Why did you come here? Quick, check and return to Area A, there is a... cough cough... disease spreading rapidly here."

Lu Zixun hadn’t expected Qing Yuanyang to be parasitized as well. He summoned Spiritual Fire and incinerated the Civilization Destroyers inside Qing Yuanyang’s body.

At the same time, he said, "This isn’t a disease, but a parasite."
