When Dr. Long shone his flashlight in that direction, the women immediately realized that their husbands had disappeared, and they were instantly enraged.
Normally, they have harmonious relationships with their husbands, and when disaster strikes, they hope to weather the storm together with their families.
However, at this moment, their men are openly entangled in intimate relationships with other women.
The other party was a widow who had no choice but to do this for her son.
Empathy among women allows them to put themselves in others' shoes, imagining themselves as widowed, having to compromise for their children, only to be bullied by others.
How indignant they must be.
"Fine! They won't let us use flashlights, saying it's to save electricity!"
"Going to the toilet? Didn't you just go to the toilet? I think you don't want that thing anymore!"
"Trying to save electricity, huh! I'll shine my flashlight right on you guys, go ahead and keep going!"
"You beast! You beast! Even if you die, I would do the same for the child. If others bully me, can you tolerate it?"
The women's curses echoed in the corridor, and no one paid any attention to Dr. Long Er cleaning the boy's "blisters".
They were completely unaware of the potential crisis at hand.
Under the light, the men immediately became more discreet, returning to their wives and beginning to weave various lies.
Dr. Long Er wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gripped the scalpel tightly, and aimed at the blister again.
This time, the blister burst and gushed out a large amount of fluid mixed with red blood cells.
He hurriedly wielded his knife to cut away the infected flesh; the movement was forceful, but it seemed to be effective.
The boy, who had been unconscious, suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream:
"ah!!!"
The scream pierced eardrums and instantly drew everyone's attention.
However, the boy only cried out once before falling into a coma again.
All the onlookers saw were several tapeworms wriggling wildly at the bloody, mangled wound, and they were all horrified, instinctively shrinking back.
Even more terrifying, the face-like surface was cut off, but the next second, the insects reassembled a new face.
And it's clearer now.
It was a woman's face, extremely alluring and charming.
"Do I look beautiful?"
Ryuji seemed to be hallucinating, and with a startled cry, the pale scalpel in his hand fell to the ground.

26 Pest Control in Progress
The boy's mother, overwhelmed with grief, looked at her son through tear-filled eyes and screamed hysterically:
"Oh! My child... is he alright? Just now... was that him? Was he screaming? Dr. Ryuji... please, my child can't be hurt!!!"
Her grief and loss of control seemed to ignite her husband's bestiality, and his violence against her intensified.
Dr. Long Er was completely thrown off balance by the crying and screams, and subconsciously picked up the knife and made another cut.
This time, the boy did not scream again, and the alluring beauty's face disappeared.
However, what came out after the blister burst was a white, paste-like substance mixed with red liquid.
"Dead...dead?!"
Dr. Long Er whispered in fear.
He understood that the boy was no longer alive; although his body was still viable, his brain had been taken over by these parasitic creatures.
"I...I'm sorry!"
"Dr. Ryuji called out calmly."
As the night deepened, the woman's sobs grew louder, while other sounds gradually faded away.
Chang Wei, who was inside the apartment, heard all of this clearly.
He realized that the emergence of the parasite was not accidental, but an inevitable evolution of the apocalyptic scenario.
To ensure his own safety, he must gain a thorough understanding of parasites and take protective measures.
Chang Wei brought up the online store and began a targeted search.
Soon, an item came into view:
[Ultraviolet Egg Killing Light: Releases high-intensity ultraviolet light when turned on, effectively killing a large number of parasite eggs. Ineffective against those that have already invaded the brain. Price: 8000 points]
"exchange!"
He gave the order decisively.
"Ding! Congratulations on spending 8000 points and successfully redeeming a UV egg-killing lamp!"
Chang Wei smiled bitterly to himself. Kasumigaoka Utaha's deep affection for him had been repaid with points that were quickly spent.
"Snap!"
The door lock opened with a click.
Chang Wei pushed open the door and entered, the ultraviolet egg-killing lamp he was holding tightly already turned on. He first aimed it directly at the ground in front of the door and scanned it.
Then, the light swept across the surrounding walls, checking one by one for any signs of possible insect eggs.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he turned the light around and shone it into the crowd.
This photo was like stirring up a hornet's nest.
Many people had unusual spots on their bodies, which were signs of the presence of insect eggs.
Under the powerful killing effect of ultraviolet rays, the parasites could not bear the itching and scratched involuntarily.
"What is this thing? Why does it make me so itchy when it's on me?"
One person complained.
"My calves are so itchy!"
Another person chimed in.
"Luckily, the camera didn't hit me. What I fear most is itching."
Those who escaped were relieved, but didn't forget to sneer and mock:
"What kind of crappy lamp is this guy carrying? If it weren't for the fact that he has a weapon on him, I would have punched him already."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but Chang Wei paid no attention to it; his attention was drawn to a striking bloodstain.
In the pool of blood, countless insect eggs churned and surged, becoming even more active when exposed to light.
On a whim, he turned the light on a boy whose face was covered in scars.
This person was the boy who had been treated by Dr. Long Er before.
When the ultraviolet light that kills eggs shines directly on his face, the tapeworms parasitizing the boy's brain are stimulated and wriggle wildly, causing a large amount of red and white fluid to ooze from the wounds on his face, as well as from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
Although Long Er was not formally trained, his medical knowledge far surpassed that of everyone present.
At that moment, he stepped forward voluntarily to endure the ultraviolet radiation.
In an instant, a sharp itch struck my arms and ankles.
He gritted his teeth and endured it, judging from the location of the itching:
The insect eggs have already settled on its hands and ankles.
He suppressed his pain and pleaded with Chang Wei:
"Could you... please shine the light on me again?"
Chang Wei frowned slightly, turned the light back on the doctor, and gestured for him to continue.
"These are tapeworms."
The doctor, enduring the itching, struggled to explain:
"Based on the location of the itching, I estimate that the parasite eggs have already infested my hands and ankles. Their target is likely the brain, and once they invade, it will cause immediate brain death."
"When the human body senses a crisis, it will fight back by developing a fever. Therefore, if someone is found to have a fever, the first thing to do is to check whether they have been infected by parasite eggs."
Chang Wei was deeply moved upon hearing this.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, she's definitely destined to be the heroine.
She recounted that she had been soaked in water for several days and then lay on a damp bed, but only developed a fever and was not infected by the parasite eggs.
Aside from the "female lead halo," what other explanation could there be?
Could it be that these insects suddenly appeared in the last few hours?
Just as his thoughts were churning, Dr. Long Er suddenly let out a painful scream under the light, his left hand frantically scratching his right hand, while his right foot kept groping on his left foot.
He pried off several white, soft-shelled objects, a scene that was quite disturbing.
