Chapter 392: Biological Weapons
Almost as soon as the breeze picked up, Alan quickly turned his head. A pitch-black line ran across the side of his face, and even though the end was hit, the wind cut Alan's cheek painfully. He turned around, and the demon saluted and pulled out a chilling sword that swung like ripples in the water towards the black line. The dagger immediately felt like it had hit the real thing, and there was a snap, and something fell to the ground.
Looking through the faint light of the wall, it was a tongue covered with fleshy thorns. The severed tongue was still bouncing on the ground, full of energy.
A low whine sounded in front of him, and an engraving appeared on Allen's eyebrows, and a tongue of fire immediately erupted from the dagger, lighting up the surroundings. In the firelight, a tall man was staggering backwards, his skin was dead gray and his belly bulging, like a pregnant woman in October. There's something in that belly that's constantly squirming, and it's weird.
Alan looked at the man and cautiously pulled away. He didn't believe that there were still living people in this base, not to mention that this person looked like a corpse. He is also able to move, which must have something to do with the contents of his stomach.
Sure enough, the man fell to the ground with a thud and didn't move. However, a few legs sprouted from the belly, and then split to both sides, and tore the corpse's belly open. Out of it crawled out of it a strange creature, with a large head that resembled some kind of wurm, and its head was covered in a rough exoskeleton. Without eyes, it has an open mouth and a long tongue that spits out. One end of the tongue was missing, and it should have been the one that was cut off by Allen.
The body is round like a salmon, with a row of spikes on its back, and six spider-like knobular limbs protruding from either side of its abdomen. The xenomorph was still dripping with viscous bodily fluids, which made it take several attempts to prop its body up from the ground with its outstretched limbs.
Alan glanced at the corpse and saw that the man's abdomen was almost hollow. In this case, it is estimated that the internal organs of the corpse became the delicacy of the creature. It's just that Alan can't tell whether the disgusting creature in front of him is a life bred by this planet, or some kind of biological weapon artificially cultivated by this base?
But even if it's a biological weapon, it's now out of control. All of them start from instinct, but they are no different from beasts.
Although the xenomorph had no eyes, it was sensitive enough to tell where Eren was, and its head was pointing in Allen's direction, and then its arthropods slid like a flying collision. Alan tiptoed a little, and the man rose from the ground, easily jumping over the alien's body. But I saw that the guy didn't seem to know how to control his strength, so he used too much force, and suddenly hit the wall, knocking the wall into a shock, and a lot of dust fell from the ceiling, and the air became a little choking.
The power is not small. Alan said in his heart, if ordinary people were hit by it like that, they would have to break several bones, not to mention. Look at the alien again, shaking his head and turning around, opening his mouth and whispering. Then a green liquid erupted from under the tongue, and suddenly there was a fishy smell in the air. Alan didn't have to think about it to know that it was definitely not a good thing, and the person moved sideways, causing the venom to spray into the air.
The poisonous water spewed out several meters away, and some of it was sprinkled on the corpse of the man behind him. Where the poisonous water sticks to it, the surface of the corpse immediately turns from gray to black, and then the skin decays, and even the bones inside quickly dissolve a layer of black, which shows that the poison is fierce.
Next, the alien continued to attack Allen, but its attack routine was very monotonous, and its methods were limited to poisonous water and collision. Alan probed and found nothing else special. With a dash of impact, the Demon Salute pulled sideways, opening a wound in the alien's abdomen that nearly dissected the entire body. The head of that thing was protected by an exoskeleton and was very strong, but the body was far behind, and there were not even scales, so it was easy to let the dagger tear apart.
The massive wound caused all the internal organs in the alien's body to leak out, and it gradually lost its vitality, and finally lay on the ground motionless. Alan pointed at the dagger, and a flame erupted from the dagger, setting the alien corpse on fire. When the fire lit up, Alan heard several more strange noises in succession. By the light of the fire, he saw that the room was full of corpses.
There were more than 20 men, women and women's women's and women's corpses, and most of them were piled up in a mess. Several of the corpses had their faces facing the doorway, and judging by their posture, they were still struggling to flee the place before they died. But their backs were torn apart by something, and they were naturally left forever.
Now, five or six of the corpses in the pile had their stomachs ruptured, and an equal number of aliens crawled out of it. As soon as these alien beings appeared, they immediately pounced on Eren with their arthropods. Alan was not polite, his momentum increased sharply, and the dagger slashed, pulling out two orange rays, disintegrating the pounced alien on the spot.
I don't know if the same alien is still hidden in those corpses, so Alan simply burned them all. After the source force flame ignited the pile of corpses, sure enough, there were many corpses that heard a series of screams, and at the same time, there was a light explosion sound after the fat was ignited.
As soon as he finished doing this, Alan heard the dull sound of a heavy object falling into the water outside the door. He hurriedly left the room and walked back to the previous cubicle. After he left, the firelight cast a thin shadow on the ceiling. From the outline of the shadows, it appeared to be a person, except that this person was hanging upside down from the ceiling like a spider.
The figure suddenly shrank into a gap in the ceiling, and quickly departed with a passage that seemed to be blasted through by a high-energy beam.
Alan returned to the cubicle just in time to see Regers crawling out of the sewage chute with his head covered. Seeing his brother, Alan laughed and walked up, wrapping a dagger around the flames as illumination. In the firelight, it could be seen that the waterfall flowing out of the drain pipe was obviously much smaller, otherwise with the great urgency of the water that Alan had come down before, Regers would have to throw it into the air, but he would not want to fall into the sewage tank below.
Hearing Alan's laughter, Regers grinned, "I knew you couldn't die." ”
"What about the others?" Alan pulled him and asked.
Regers tossed the knife box containing Qianjun back to Allen, and then pointed upward, "They should be almost there." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a series of exclamations from the exhaust pipe, and Lucy slipped out of the pipe. In the air, when he saw Alan below, the girl's face suddenly showed joy. Seeing that he was about to fall into the water, he let Alan catch it. Alan spun around her body and unloaded the force of her fall and put it down. Lucy landed on her legs, but she didn't want to leave him like that, still hugging Allen.
"How did you get down, I'm worried that the water is too fast for you to come down." Allen said.
Lucy smiled and said, "That guy named Garner blocked the entrance to the exhaust pipe with a big rock, blocking most of the lake. With the natural pressure in the water, I was not afraid that the stone would be carried away by the current, but I doubted how I would get out then. ”
Allen's heart is like this, intercepting the lake, and the exhaust pipe will naturally not have a large amount of lake water flowing. In this way, it is safer for Lucy and them to climb down the pipe, but the angle of the tail pipe is almost vertical, but I am afraid that Lucy and Regers will fall directly.
After a few moments, people in the exhaust pipe slipped down one after another. The sound of fluttering in the sewage tank was incessant, and most of them fell into the water, but Edward's ability was to control the airflow, which caused the boy to glide to the ground.
After the person who fell in the water got up, he naturally separated. Seeing Allen, Garner nodded and said hello. Alan didn't hide it either, and told them what he had just discovered. According to the previous agreement, after entering the base, they went their separate ways and went their separate ways. Although even without Allen's reminder, sooner or later they would encounter that alien. But now, at least they were mentally prepared and knew how to deal with that creature.
Alan added: "Those things seem to have been sleeping in the corpse, and they may have sensed my breath and woke up. So, they should be a kind of larvae, so I don't know if there are anything more dangerous in them. Mr. Garner, you must be careful. ”
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Allen. If it's okay, then we'll go first. ”
Alan made a look of disrespect.
Garner had his men check their gear and headed for the gate. Although they entered the base, it was the first time that these people had seen such a "ruin". Even Garner herself was curious about the metal wall arms, the pipes, the cables, and the glowing objects on the walls, let alone anyone else. The fat man Drew even tried to break the glow off, and after a few fruitless attempts, he laughed and left.
After they left, Lucy said, "There is no doubt that you encountered some kind of biological weapon, Alan. Remember the queen mentioned in that ciphertext? If there are no accidents, it should be the parent of the biological weapon. And the alien you see is a kind of juvenile, and since there are juveniles, there will be mature bodies. We don't know how powerful the mature body is, but even the juveniles still exist, and the mature ones must have survived. ”
"Everyone must be careful when acting, in case there are too many biological weapons, then I will advise us to retreat first. Anyway, knowing the specific location of the base, it can't run away. There are also biological weapons that act as guards, and they are not afraid of being found by some self-righteous adventurers, because they will only become the rations of those weapons. ”
Alan nodded in agreement, and after everyone rested for a while, they also left the cubicle and walked in the opposite direction from Garner and the others.
"It's really strange, is this ruin made of metal?"
In the hallway, Bass touched the metal walls that covered the pipes and exclaimed, "This kind of technology is really unprecedented, look, these metal plates are polished so smooth and flat." Just think about the fact that the entire ruins are made of metal, and that's a huge project. ”
"Bass, if you have time to sigh, you might as well follow closely, I don't care if you're going to fall behind." The front gunner shouted.
Buzz realized that the team had been gone for a long time, and hurriedly ran up. Suddenly, his back was cold, as if he was being watched by something. He quickly turned back, but there was nothing behind the corridor. He shrunk his shoulders and turned away. If he looked into the ceiling, he would see a few spots of dark red light flickering through an exhaust vent in the ceiling.
It seemed to be the eye of some kind of creature. R1058
