Act II: The Eyes of Dying Chapter 40: The Mystery (2)
Slowly descending the stairs, a strong smell of decay came from below, and the faces of several girls turned pale, this smell was not a foul smell, but it could still stimulate them to smell sick. The floors looked like they had been subjected to a massacre, with a large number of corpses huddled in the corners, and the walls behind them were riddled with bullet holes, apparently killed by bullets.
"What's going on? Cannibalism? Simon muttered. He patted the closed door on the wall, which was supposed to be the passage of the elevator, but it had been sealed.
"Be careful, it's a little weird!" Icarus's face was still a little pale, and this kind of shock wound was not like a wound that could heal quickly with some potions.
The group kept as quiet as possible, because they didn't dare to use the lights, so they could only keep the night vision device on, searching and exploring the floor below.
Compared to the group of people who were still on the upper floors, Resa had already begun to have trouble here.
When Ressa reached the twenty-first floor, he found a staccato word again, but it was written on the floor in blood, and it was not obvious because of the adhesion of dust and impurities.
"Be careful...... Go out... Target... Batches of people, they... Warp ......... Subworms... Send... If... Yes...... The killing... Sub..., we will... There is a refund... Go! ”
"...... subworm, is it .........?" Ressa's heart shook violently, if that was the case, it wasn't as safe as it seemed.
I don't know how long these subworms can survive, Resa thought, after taking a picture of the text on the ground with his personal terminal, he is ready to go to the next level, now he has no mind to search for anything, the first priority is to meet up with the rest of the team and leave here quickly.
"Click........." The sound of crushing bones rang out from behind him, and Ressa turned sharply, but there was nothing behind him.
"............" misheard is not there, Ressa's fingers forced, the guidance device turned into the shape of a claw, and a faint sense of coercion emanated from Ressa's body, forming an extremely thin red mist that spread to the surroundings. But there are no other voices here.
Ressa's eyes scanned the direction where the voice came, where he had found the Blood Word before, and unlike just now, the arm of the corpse next to the Blood Word was broken, the arm was drooping, and the posture looked a little weird.
"Looks like this corpse is on the verge of collapse, right?" Ressa breathed a sigh of relief, and then he dodged sideways, and when his arm waved, a black shadow swept past him, but at the moment of sweeping, this black shadow was split by the claws of Ressa's hand and turned into three.
The black shadow that turned into three pieces slammed into the crooked corpse. There was a whoop.
"What the hell is it?" A faint fear rose in Ressa's heart. If it weren't for his instinct to make him hide from the ghost just now, I'm afraid he would have already fallen into the way.
Drawing on his attention, Resa slowly approached the skeleton and tossed it with his paws, picking up a long piece of flesh from the pile of bones.
"Command, search for similarities." Resa frowned and observed for a long time, but he didn't see what it was.
"The retrieval is complete, the data has been transmitted!"
Out of caution, Resa did not immediately check the information, but cautiously retreated to the twentieth floor, where the environment was much simpler and safer than the environment on the twenty-first floor.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual around, Resa clicked on her personal terminal and summoned the data that had just been transmitted.
Ghost Sandworm: Number: 04156
Level: Earth Beast Tier 3
Category: Mutant insect family
Energy Category: Physical Energy, Annihilation Energy
Hunting value: 3675 points - 4550 points
Product: Sand Core (Item No. 008129), Annihilation Particle (Item No. 005387)
Variants of the sandworm, different from the giant body of the sandworm, the ghost sandworm is more compact, compared to the name of the worm, their form looks more like a snake, and the adult ghost sandworm will not exceed the length of an adult's arm, they move quickly, are good at stealth, and the special body surface can make them better integrate with the surrounding scene, so as to launch an attack in unexpected positions.
The head of the Wraith Sandworm has annihilation particles, which can easily penetrate the armor plate of the main battle mech, which is extremely threatening, and their eggs exist in the form of spores, which invade the human body through the respiratory system and parasitize, but due to the large weight of their spores, they generally only float at a height of 50 cm above the ground.
After reading the message, Resa threw the corpse of the ghost sandworm on her claws to the ground, rummaged through it a few times, and ignored it after confirming that the sand core was not in this section.
Judging from some of the current clues, this should belong to an existence similar to a base station, and there were already sandworms here before they perished, but I don't know why, there was a mutation of sandworms, and the people here were parasitized by the spores of ghost sandworms when they went out to work, which led to the fall of this place? It seems a bit too limiting to think of it this way, after all, this is only the outermost garrison turret.
Ressa rubbed his head a little dazed, the air here was sealed because of the use, even if there was the use of spare oxygen, but the air pressure formed by the seal made people feel oppressed.
Judging from the situation just now, there should still be a ghost sandworm here, so he needs to be extremely careful in the next exploration, he is not confident that his ordinary tactical armor can withstand the annihilation particles of the ghost sandworm.
Coming to the location of the previous corpse, he found a crystal nucleus the size of a date core on the corpses of the remaining two ghost sandworms, thinking that this was the sand core, as for the annihilation particles on the head of the ghost sandworm, he really didn't tell where its head was.
Ressa cautiously began to turn around on the twenty-first floor, this turn, really surprised him, the area of the twenty-first floor, is actually more than twice as large as the twenty-first floor, but this may be the research and experiment department, Resa didn't see too many guns or ammunition or anything.
Since there was nothing to gain here, Ressa looked up at the stairs on the side, so let's go to the twenty-second floor. Thinking of this, Resa walked towards the location of the stairs, and at the same time, three shadows suddenly shot out from a dark corner.........
