Words : 1603 Updated : Sep 29th, 2025

Starting Chapter 106 of "The Last Gentleman": Yi Chen had considered using the “Pathogen Core” as a bargaining chip, hanging the chicken... See what happens next!

Yi Chen had considered using the “Pathogen Core” as a bargaining chip, hanging the chicken matriarch’s head at his waist, to control the entire flock. However, considering that the chicken matriarch could establish a mental connection with the flock in secret, it was very likely that she would betray him at a critical moment… Although there were corresponding restraining measures, none could completely eradicate the risk. Of course, the most important point. The chicken matriarch, a person who liked to take advantage of others’ goodwill and a hypocrite, was someone Yi Chen wanted to ‘cure’ of their disease. Snap! The chicken embryo-like tumor was crushed in one squeeze. The chicken matriarch’s eyes dimmed in an instant, and the small eyes on her forehead all lost their light. At the same time, Yi Chen also turned around, setting up his Slaughter Knife, ready to face the onslaught of the flock. However. As time passed bit by bit, he did not encounter the expected encirclement by the flock, nor any collective aggression. Instead, the atmosphere in the chicken pen became relaxed and cheerful, The chicks that were not allowed to leave the Nutrition Zone, as if breaking free from their constraints, all ran out, chirping incessantly around Yi Chen’s feet. The broiler chickens that were lined up to be absorbed by the tree roots also stopped waiting for death, each taking flight as if obtaining freedom. The so-called chicken matriarch merely called them ‘children’ verbally, but in reality, she was like a Slave Master, and as a human, she had seen the flock as merchandise from the beginning of her chicken farming. On the contrary, it was these chickens that saw the chicken matriarch as their only dependable master. “You killed the chicken matriarch, cluck cluck!” A black chicken fell with a slip, its chicken eyes wide. This was the black chicken Little Pei, the fastest chicken in the pen, and the one Yi Chen was most familiar with. “Isn’t it good? That old thing can’t control you anymore.” Yi Chen stepped forward, crouched down, and gently stroked Little Pei’s head, and the latter didn’t dodge, allowing the touch. It was then, That the tree slide above continued to bring a flock of elite chickens of excellent breeds, which had served as the chicken matriarch’s ‘spies,’ observing the nearby surroundings and eliminating villagers who accidentally approached. ＲäŊȱ????Ę???? They, too, did not attack Yi Chen, but all came to the chicken matriarch’s side, pecking at the dry, decayed corpse. This clearly showed that after contracting the disease and gaining self-awareness, they had long seen through the chicken matriarch’s essence. “Little Pei, are you not going? They seem to be enjoying it quite a lot.” “Cluck cluck~ No need for me! The chicken matriarch liked to bully them, but she was okay to me…” “Do you want this? If you do, I’ll give it to you.” Yi Chen stroked the comb with one hand, while extending the slightly crushed chicken embryo tumor towards Little Pei with the other. The black chicken Little Pei, fearing Yi Chen would change his mind suddenly, pecked it into her mouth! In the following minutes, dramatic changes occurred in Little Pei’s body. The black feathers on its body flared out as if exploding, and eyes formed on the skin covered by the feathers. The chickens that were pecking at the matriarch’s body all turned their heads and instinctively crouched down, bending their necks as if acknowledging their new master. Seeing this scene, Yi Chen wearing the pig-head mask smiled, knowing he had bet correctly. Combination of Cognate Symptoms It is a concept mentioned in Pathology courses, referring to patients with similar epidemics who can deepen their own level of infection by devouring each other’s disease core, accelerating pathogen combination, and under special circumstances, even gaining the other’s power. In some Gray Domains, occasionally, one could find some large chambers filled with similar types of Severe Patients, letting them fight each other to the death, with only the sole survivor allowed to leave. However, this method of growth through mutual slaughter could severely affect the patients’ self-awareness. Although it rapidly and effectively deepened the severity of the disease and accelerated reaching the core of the pathogen, it was not particularly common among sufferers. Now, As Little Pei devoured the chicken matriarch’s core, its consciousness slowly connected with the flock and took over as the leader. Yi Chen placed the Slaughter Knife behind him and continued to gently stroke the comb. “Little Pei, how does it feel?” If he found any uncontrollable abnormal reactions in the black chicken, or if the chicken matriarch’s consciousness element emerged in its chicken brain, Yi Chen was prepared to kill decisively. “Cluck cluck!” Little Pei did not respond, but instead let out a loud crow, overwhelmingly excited. Following that, he spread his wings and flew towards Yi Chen’s shoulder as if he wanted to perch there to express his “trust.” Just as he was about to land, Sёarch* The NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. a short black arm suddenly grew from inside the shoulder, accompanied by a feeling of being watched, which startled Xiao Pei into shifting to the other shoulder. Once his claws were stable, he deliberately cleared his throat and looked down at the flock of chickens: “This is the benefactor who killed old lady Chicken and granted us our freedom! We must properly thank him, cluck cluck!” The crowd immediately responded with chicken calls, as if the horn of rebellion had sounded in the underground chicken nests. [Ten minutes later] Shebolt Village was invaded by a massive flock of chickens, which, being oviparous, weren’t affected by the spore dust. The seemingly chaotic flock purposefully went about their invasion, pairing up in twos and rapidly entering different residents’ homes, wreaking havoc on the proliferating rotten flesh colonies. Don’t be fooled by their animal appearance; these elite chickens, picked out by old lady Chicken to scout and ensure the chicken nests’ safety, could easily move huge stones and rip apart trees. The nimble-bodied chickens were simply overpowered against villagers who couldn’t move and continuously lost their essence. Suddenly, a variety of bizarre calls erupted from different areas of the village. It sounded not like screams, but more like a form of release. And it wasn’t just that—there were also loads of chickens with little combat ability. They entered the “Meat Factory” in an orderly fashion, and, in a suicidal assault, slammed into the production line’s meat grinders, contaminating the factory’s meat products with their own oviparous flesh. This directly led to the factory shutting down, with all the pig-headed butchers responsible for processing the physical bodies joining the ‘chicken-catching operation,’ plunging into disarray. When such chaos spread throughout the village in a short period, a special young man slipped silently into the village and, following a map, found the village chief’s house, He had a gaping wound in his left chest, wore a pig’s head mask, tattered capri pants and straw sandals, and a black chicken stood on his shoulder. Peering into the house through the window, the pig-head trembled slightly. The village chief, who should have left home to suppress the unrest, sat motionless in the living room. The swollen cyst bag formerly on his shoulder was gone, and judging from the incision, it seemed to have been cut off deliberately, with the gold that had been placed inside also missing. Moreover, the village chief was engaging in a strange activity at that moment. With one hand, he held Slaughter Knife, Yi Chen’s custom-made weapon created with heavy gold, cutting open his abdomen. The animate umbilical cord poked its head out, sucking nutrition from a big basin prepared by the village chief—the exquisite Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup meticulously stewed by the factory’s chefs. With the nourishment, streams of new energy flowed into the village chief’s body, recovering the injuries he had suffered from the explosion, and he was now almost fully healed. He was utterly at ease, with no thought of suppressing the chaos in the village. It seemed that the village was no longer important to him at the moment. “Could it be? The village has provided enough Holy Embryos, so the Church no longer needs it. As a token of thanks, they’ve granted the village chief the umbilical cord representing ‘new life.’ Has the conspiracy lurking behind the events already entered its latter stages, or even reached its final phase?” Thinking this, Yi Chen grew even more concerned about Jin’s situation. His gaze immediately shifted to the black chicken on his shoulder. “Xiao Pei, could you distract the village chief for a minute… no, just thirty seconds will do.” “Cluck cluck!” Just by catching a whiff of the severe patient’s aura, Xiao Pei was already trembling with fear. However, this danger was still slightly less intimidating than that posed by Jin, who had once gripped its body. Xiao Pei nodded its chicken head up and down to agree to Yi Chen’s request and called over four nearby elite chickens for assistance. “I will get you the time, Mr. William! Cluck cluck!” “Go.” Bang! The two windows and the front door of the village chief’s house were shattered by the lifting chicken feet as Xiao Pei led his troops in a charge toward the village chief. For a time, pieces of furniture, flooring, and walls mingled with chicken feathers flew chaotically through the air.
