C44 Marriage

Two tender sprouts slowly grew out from the back of the white "mud".

It looked very cute, like two wings that had yet to mature.

Zhou Heng poked the sprout twice, and the sprout moved reflexively, making it look very funny.

"Heng, auntie is calling you!"

Just as Zhou Heng was studying the "mud", Huo Yun's gentle call came from the entrance of the Research Base.

Zhou Heng had forgotten to close the door.

Huo Yun stood at the door. She saw a hint of displeasure in Zhou Heng's eyes.

She immediately knew that she had made a big mistake. She quickly turned around and covered her eyes.

"Sorry, Heng, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't mean to peek inside."

"Without my permission, you are not allowed to get close to this room!"

Zhou Heng placed the back of his hand on the "mud" and scolded her sternly.

She had repeatedly violated his bottom line, and he even had the urge to shoot her.

Huo Yun turned around and ran away without a trace.

"Women are so troublesome!"

Zhou Heng unintentionally increased the strength of his grip on the "mud".

Suddenly, the "mud" let out a chicken-like cry due to the pressure.

Zhou Heng was slightly surprised and took it closer to see.

The "mud" immediately changed its appearance.

It no longer had a fixed shape, but turned into a pool of liquid and stuck to Zhou Heng's hand.

This sudden scene made Zhou Heng panic.

"Not good!"

He hurriedly slammed it away.

However, the "mud" stuck to his hand tightly, and he could not shake it off.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?"

Zhou Heng grabbed the liquid's surface with his other hand, wanting to pull it off. However, he realized that the liquid was extremely tough, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull it off.

"System, quickly check it!"

"Biological assessment."

[Detected: Unknown]

[Detected that this creature has parasitic characteristics, but it will not harm its host.]

[The current state of this creature is still in its infancy, and it can be further developed.]

The system's voice echoed in Zhou Heng's mind.

Although he already knew that there was no harm in it, Zhou Heng was still very anxious.

"How did I separate it from me?"

[Because this creature has not been recorded in the system's database, we don't know how to control it.]

The system's answer almost made Zhou Heng vomit blood.

The white liquid had already covered more than half of his arm.

The cold feeling made him feel scared.

This feeling was something that he had only experienced when he was in the sewer when a grasshopper crawled on his body.

The grasshopper crawled on his body to suck his blood. Then, why was this thing here?

Parasite?

The word that the system had just said flashed through Zhou Heng's mind.

If he was parasitized, what would the consequences be?

He did not dare to imagine it.

Soon, the liquid was about to cover his shoulder.

If he did not stop it, his entire body would be covered by the liquid.

At this critical moment, a terrifying thought flashed through Zhou Heng's mind.

He could cut off his own arm.

Yes, as long as he cut off his own arm, this damned thing would not crawl onto his body again.

But if he lost an arm, his combat strength would definitely be greatly reduced.

If he met a strong monster, he might not even have the qualifications to deal with it.

But if he did not do this, he might die right now.

"I don't care so much anymore!"

Just as he was about to pull out the dagger from his waist and prepare to cut off his own arm, a system notification sounded out.

[Detected an unknown biological brainwave fluctuation.]

Zhou Heng stopped and looked at his own arm.

The liquid on his arm had stopped spreading.

Combined with the system notification, he seemed to have understood something.

"You mean that this liquid won't let me cut off my arm?"

As soon as he said that, the liquid squirmed.

At the same time, the system also sent out a notification: [Detected an unknown biological brainwave fluctuation]

This time, Zhou Heng finally understood.

Although this thing could not speak, it still had a certain level of intelligence and could communicate with people to a certain extent.

Therefore, Zhou Heng tried to get it to leave his arm.

Sure enough, the white liquid that had made him feel very troublesome just now quickly contracted.

After the white liquid left Zhou Heng's arm, it condensed into a ball of "mud" in his hand.

Zhou Heng was amazed by this.

However, he was still wary of the "mud".
