Chapter 464: Interception
Sonya, who had already retreated to the entrance of the passage, was arranging a battle line with the soldiers there. At this moment, the shouts of a tsunami from the other side of the bridge were heard in the communication channel.
At first, just one or two Marines were screaming, and then everyone from officers to soldiers screamed in unison. It's like the lambs in the pasture in the middle of the night.
"Griffith, what's wrong!" Sonia was horrified by the screams of the crowd.
"Retreat!" Xiao Yan shouted at the marines with his hands dancing and pulling his throat. The others didn't need to be urged, and they rushed to the other side of the passage like a low tide.
The countless waving tentacles were stunned when they saw the crowd in front of them scatter in a hurry, and they grabbed Private Pfister like lightning and threw them at the fleeing crowd. The Marines who swept overhead were already corroded into large and small pieces of flesh in the air, crackling and smashing on the heads of panicked soldiers.
"Wow! Wow, ahhhh "The Marines who were drenched in pieces of flesh and blood were frying. Private Io picked up a Vulcan cannon and fired at the overwhelming tentacles, the hot rain of bullets tore apart many of the tentacles, but the falling pieces fused with the limbs and tentacles on the ground, and after two wriggling strokes, they turned into monster tentacles.
The tentacles wrapped around Io's ankles, throwing him high into the tumbling jungle of tentacles. The poor Marine screamed and disappeared without a trace.
The Marines' power armor and shields were nothing to stop in the face of the monster's corrosion.
Die...... Xiao Yan took out a grenade in a daze, and threw it at the monster without looking at the surrounding environment.
"Boom!" The violent shockwave cleared a barrier between the monster and the soldier, creating a few seconds for everyone to escape.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Yan once again looked directly at the monster's form.
"Aberration-Devourer subtype. Race:???. Attribute:???
Special Skill 1: Fusion. The aberration's special bodily fluids can melt prey targets, converting them into a part of themselves and restoring health with extreme efficiency.
Special Ability 2: ??? ”
No way...... I can't even see the properties of this thing. Xiao Yan, who had seen the enemy clearly, was a little more sober, and all kinds of thoughts appeared like lightning, and he suddenly remembered the terrifying shadow he had seen in Dr. Hakase's memory.
Could this thing be a monster hiding in the dark? So, Dr. Hakase, who had been here before, had ever seen such a monster?
Having said that, this place has a strong shielding effect on radar detection and perception, just like the effect of N neutron activation. Could it be that part of Hakase's research comes from what he has gained here?
Lieutenant Midianmaya, who was also panicked, threw the Vulcan cannon, took out a grenade launcher, and fired at the gushing tentacles without waiting for Xiao Yan to stop it. The flames ignited a Marine and a few tentacles, and the grenade exploded on the monster, a huge wave of air mixed with overwhelming debris, hitting everyone's power armor and the surrounding wall panels with a "clang" sound.
Xiao Yan was also attached to his arm by the fragments, and in the blink of an eye, he melted with the sturdy heavy armor.
"Stop! Don't fight, let's go out and distance ourselves from it first! Ophelia dragged her mad lieutenant and the rest of the Marines to follow Xiao Yan back. The aberrant danced with its flying tentacles, following them after them.
From time to time, Marines are chased by monsters and then desperately launch counterattacks, but whether it is the blaster beam or the trauma caused by the grenade, the aberrant can recover quickly.
"It's time for the exit!" Ophelia shouted in delight and swooped into the pile of debris in the doorway. The soldiers of the ARC commandos reacted no slower than their commanders, and slipped in one by one.
Xiao Yan and a few Marines followed closely into the ruins, this narrow hole caused them a lot of trouble to stumble, but it did not prevent them from chasing their tentacle monsters at all.
The massive deformed body tightened its body like an octopus, and a thousand tentacles slipped through the gaps. The running Marines felt only that the edge of their vision was full of white flowery fluttering tentacles.
"We're going to be finished!" With nowhere to run, Odi and the others shouted in despair.
This thing...... Xiao Yan drilled into the passage, turned around and stretched out his hand to the distortion: "Taste this!" Death Coil! ”
A large cloud of fear and confusion enveloped in green flames, rushing towards the aberration. The white tentacles seemed to want to stop the evil green energy, but the evil energy easily penetrated its defenses and went all the way to the depths of the endless tentacles.
I don't know if it's useful...... Xiao Yan just had the idea of giving it a try, and was about to throw out his skills and continue running. But in the next second, a tidal wave of unusually strange screams exploded in his mind.
The screams seemed to have no sound, and directly acted on the human spirit, mixed with layers of screams and shouts.
The monster shouts that changed from Rangier seemed to solidify the success or failure of thousands of souls, turning into a blurred human face and pouring into Xiao Yan's consciousness.
The experience he had experienced several times before reappeared, and Xiao Yan entered the illusion of consciousness in an instant and floated in the air. But this time around him were countless screaming and wailing faces. Xiao Yan saw the faces of Rangier and many of the marines he was familiar with.
They were stirring around the space like resentful spirits, and the dense human faces were like ant colonies pouring out of their crumbling nests. Immediately after, the countless clumps of human faces disintegrated from the core and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Yan immediately returned to the real world, and the white tentacles that were surging from all directions just now melted one after another, and the narrow passage seemed to be spilled with large vasks of milk, constantly corroding the metal obstacles.
"Forehead......" The marines, who thought they were about to be finished, looked at the white acid that kept dripping in horror, and then looked at Xiao Yan who withdrew his arm.
That's it?!
A monster that turned a blind eye to both energy weapons and physical attacks was killed by a death entangle?! Xiao Yan could barely believe his eyes. Could it be that the spiritual core of this monster is particularly fragile?
……
"Griffith, come here!" Outside the exit, Sonia and Ophelia were nervously guarding with their Royal Highness troops, and two assault guns were already aiming at the exit position.
The marines guarding here were nervously preparing to fight, but they only saw Xiao Yan running out with a group of marines all bearded and tailed.
"Donnie, what about the monster!?" Several sergeants shouted at the sergeant who was running over.
"Melt! Nope! Sergeant Donnie said as he ran, "The knight brought him a bit, and the thing rotten!" ”
"You're so good!" Sonia and Ophelia said to Xiao Yan in unison, "How?" ”
"Don't ask me how to do it, retreat!" Xiao Yan ran over with a confused face, "Inform the Oscar to pick us up, there may be more than one such thing!" ”
