You've never seen someone infested with the worms in person like this; it's even worse then you thought. The worms, <span class="mu-s">Kuku</span> worms, are a bioweapon directly created by the Aristocrats. You see them wriggling beneath their flesh; the holes open in their skin where the worms burrow in or release fluid, filled with microscopic eggs. They can live anywhere; hiding under logs or stones or in mud, just waiting for the flesh of a large-bodied creature to get within striking distance. Once inside the host; they create more eggs and start eating its host from the inside out, before seeking to aggressively spread them to the next victim. The entire group is infested with them; out in the field and unable to communicate or have the worms medically removed before it was too late.
But the reason the parasite is so feared, and so aggressive to be used as a weapon, is because it hijaks the body and mind of its host, slowly turning them into a zombie capable of spreading this infection. This group of worm-zombies even sent out the captain to the front, the least turned, likely so you'd get closer. The rest are no longer even visiably alive. They shuffle towards the open door with newfound speed.
<span class="mu-g">”AHHH! THEY'RE RIDDEN!”</span>
You flap your wings up and panic, running from the doorway in a hurry. Dole raises up his gun, but hesitates.
“My... My friends...”
