Era of Disaster Chapter 194: Mishap

Chapter 194: Mishap

Everything went very smoothly at the start; across more than 20 days, the harvesting squad collected a total of 377 stalks of Tranquil Grass, and to them, this was more than enough. However, to everyone else, this amount was like pouring a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood¹. Furthermore, at this time, an accident happened to the squad. It wasn’t just one or two injured members, but every single one of them. Although they gathered all the medical team together to work on this, they still couldn’t find a suitable solution to this problem.

Woolf and the rest of squad were infected by parasites!

Large-sized aquatic evolved lifeforms were basically not a problem in front of the special squad; what Bai Yi was worried about were those kinds of small-sized, colony-type aquatic lifeforms, such as piranhas. Fortunately, there weren’t any such lifeforms in this lake. However, the news that Woolf and the squad brought back ended up being even worse than this. In the depths of the lake, there was a stretch of aquatic algae, and a type of parasitic insect actually laid its eggs inside the water.

This kind of parasite initially lived within the algae, but after Woolf and the squad had barged their way in, the miniature parasite eggs had entered their stomachs through their various orifices and started to hatch in their intestines. If not for a guy in the squad being extraordinarily sensitive, they wouldn’t have even discovered this.

“Did such a thing happen to anybody else?” Bai Yi asked with a calm face.

“Yes, but very few of them; probably just a little more than 100 of them. However, we don’t know if there are more hidden parasite eggs in other people. This kind of parasitic insect is apparently a kind of mutated creature that lives only in a small area, and they haven’t completely proliferated yet. The squad’s intrusion into their living space just happened to become the opportunity for them to proliferate throughout the entire lake, and now nobody dares to enter the water anymore,” Lucretia explained.
