Chapter 561: Strange Sarcoma
As he walked, Qi Lin suddenly stopped, as he vaguely seemed to hear something.
It was a strange mixture of sounds, rhythmic pulsations mixed with the sound of blood pumping through the chambers...... It's like having a beating heart in the depths of darkness.
Cheng Yanqiu also stiffened his face, he also heard this voice, and subconsciously raised the muzzle of the gun slightly.
The two glanced at each other, Qi Lin held the gun in one hand and quickly made a series of tactical gestures with the other.
The general meaning of these gestures is that the two men separate, cover each other, and outflank each other.
Directly in front of it is a huge freezer, through the layer of meat film can still vaguely see the faded "quick-frozen dumplings" signboard, Qi Lin and Cheng Yanqiu left and right, from both sides of the freezer.
Due to the design and structure of the subway line and the shopping mall, the area of the second basement floor is several times larger than that of the third basement floor, and the difficulty of exploration is much higher.
The further you go inside, the thicker the flesh film becomes, and the more fully the corpses that are wrapped in the flesh film are "digested".
The voice grew louder and louder...... ......"
Bypassing a pillar, Qi Lin only felt that the hairs behind him stood upside down-
It was a large sarcoma shaped like a "heart", the general shape of the sarcoma was like an erect lemon, the top and bottom were connected to the flesh membrane, and the surface of the sarcoma was covered with well-developed muscle ducts, which pulsated to the rhythm of a heartbeat, pumping the fluid inside to all parts of the sarcoma.
"What the hell is this...... Qi Lin slowly stepped back, muttering in a voice that only he could hear.
If you look closely, you can also see the remains of many corpses incorporated into the sarcoma—deformed finger joints, vaguely preserved prototype internal organs, squashed intestines, and so on......
This sarcoma is like a pair of big hands rubbing many corpses together, and then pinching it out with brute force.
Obviously, this sarcoma was alive, but whether it was a mutated creature, a combination of many mutated creatures, or just a living organ without autonomous consciousness, even Qi Lin couldn't be sure.
He had never seen anything so strange, even the heart of the Black Forest, in terms of the degree of weirdness, it could only be regarded as a small drop in the face of this sarcoma.
Cheng Yanqiu also retreated, the two met together, and exchanged a look with each other, however, from each other's eyes, all they could see was surprise.
Cheng Yanqiu also said that the last time they came was a year ago, a year ago, this huge sarcoma and the flesh membrane that covered almost the entire second basement of the mall still did not exist, but in just a year, this place has completely changed.
"What to do? We're going to ...... Detour? Qi Lin glanced at the sarcoma, then at Cheng Yanqiu, and asked in a low voice.
However, the latter only shook his head with a wry smile: "The staircase of the fire escape has been blocked, the elevator compartment is stuck between the second floor and the first floor, we can't climb up the elevator shaft, and the ventilation duct is too narrow...... The only way to the first floor is right behind this thing......"
“……”
Qi Lin looked at the Type 97 riot gun in his hand, which only had ten bullets, and then at the huge sarcoma, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly surged into his heart.
The height of the floor of the underground mall is six meters, excluding the top and the bottom of the part connected to the flesh membrane, the height of this sarcoma is more than five meters, the diameter is close to four meters, and the surface is also covered with a layer of hardened muscle shell, in the face of such a guy, the lethality of the steel ball is too limited.
Qi Lin began to miss the arsenal in the bunker of the Herrens Line very much, not to mention those high-tech weapons of destruction, even the Minigon or the bazooka that was at the bottom of it could help them solve this big problem in front of them.
However, all they had in their hands were steel pipes, folding knives, nine-millimeter mini-assault rifles and police riot rifles to escort banknotes.
"This thing doesn't seem to be hostile, why don't we try it closer? Maybe it won't attack us? Cheng Yanqiu said.
However, Qi Lin shook his head, pointed to the flesh membrane around the sarcoma and said, "I originally thought so, but look there-"
Before this, the corpses that were wrapped and digested by the flesh membrane were the remains of those who were killed, but near this sarcoma, Qi Lin found a special corpse, although the corpse was dissolved beyond recognition, but it could still be recognized, this was the kind of human monster that had attacked them in the tunnel before.
In addition to humanoid monsters, the remains of bloodthirsty rats and giant cockroaches can also be found in the flesh membrane......
All of this illustrates a problem, this strange guy is a predator, not a scavenger that Qi Lin and they had identified before.
At this moment, Qi Lin suddenly heard something behind him, and hurriedly looked back, only to see a blood bubble about five or six meters behind the two of them, and a blood bubble growing on the flesh membrane was rapidly expanding, and a deformed humanoid monster began to be bred in the liquid inside the blood bubble!
“?!”
The two of them were suddenly startled, and in just a few seconds, the blood bubble exploded with a "bang", and the body of the wet, skinny deformed monster twitched violently a few times, although it turned around and rushed towards Qi Lin and the two of them on all fours.
"Let's go! Get out of here first! Qi Lin immediately shouted, quickly pulled the trigger of the riot gun in his hand, and in the midst of a loud bang, the monster that had just been hatched was swept away by the dense steel balls, but at the same time, around the two of them, at least twenty blood bubbles began to swell up in the same way, and similar monster bodies began to appear inside.
These monsters were like deformed human beings that were not fully developed, with only the most basic and rudimentary body structures, and Qi Lin could even see through their sternum that had not yet closed completely, the organs exposed to the air inside.
The strength of these guys is not very strong, and an ordinary adult can easily deal with such a monster one-on-one, but the problem is - it can't stand much!
It's not just Qi Lin and Cheng Yanqiu's surroundings, now as far as the eye can see, the blood bubbles on the meat membrane that were originally about the size of an egg are rapidly getting bigger, and each blood bubble is a hatching sac, roughly statistical, in this extremely short period of time, the meat membrane actually gave birth to more than 300 such monsters out of thin air!
