Chapter 154: Insect Cocoon
The group walked on a swamp-like sticky and slippery blanket of flesh mushrooms.
"You don't need to turn off the flashlight."
In the darkness, Alphonse said in a low voice without looking back: "Let's go, the things here don't have photoreceptors." ”
The stonemason hesitated for a moment and turned the turned off flashlight back on, "Can't the biological master hear us?" ”
"She?"
Alphonse shook his head, "She doesn't have the autonomous consciousness of our human sense, she doesn't actively interact with the outside world, and even if we stand in front of her and plot how to destroy it, the biological master won't do anything. ”
This is good news, at least the group doesn't have to use sign language to communicate - Li Ang knows a little bit about sign language, when he was a child, he played with Wang Congshan, and was tape-sealed by the other party, and he can also use light speed sign language to taunt like Naruto's seal.
Although this will attract Wang Congshan, who can't understand sign language at all, the farmer's three punches are enough.
Everyone walked around in the corridor, detouring left and right, and saw the vibrant side of the fungus blanket.
Insects, birds, animals, plants and trees... Although most of the creatures here are composed of flesh and blood, which is completely different from life on earth, they can also form a complete ecological environment.
"In the aftermath of the disaster, aberrations appeared in various places, eventually gathering above the laboratory to form a fungus blanket.
These blankets extend underground like the roots of a tree until they reach the third basement where the biological master is located, where a complete ecological chain is formed. ”
Maybe it's been too long since I've met someone to talk to, Alphonse keeps talking,
"After I was infected by the fungus blanket and became an aberration, I also gained some special abilities, such as night vision, no need to sleep, loss of pain...
At first I tried to kill myself, but every time the fungus carpet restored me, even if my head was broken, I could put it back together. ”
Alphonse stroked his tattered suit and said calmly, "The road to the ground is blocked by distortions, so I can only wander here."
The first few years were tough, I went crazy a lot of times,
Thankfully, my sense, which I used to be a biochemist, saved me, and I began to study the aberrations themselves, using their special abilities..."
As he spoke, Alphonse bent down, picked up a flesh plant that resembled the aerial root of a banyan tree, tore off the tip of the aerial root, and stabbed the tentacles in the aerial root into the back of his neck.
Blood splashed, Alphonse shivered, and said leisurely: "There are hallucinogenic ingredients in this thing, if you get the hang of it, it can make people recall the best memories of life,
Or even program freely to create any dream you want.
The only price is that the banyan tree will draw the user's blood, so you must control the length of use, otherwise you will die of blood.
It's up to me to keep this thing from becoming a beast that can't speak. ”
Alphonse "snorted" and pulled out the banyan tree's air root, which bounced on the ground a few times, slowly retracting into the banyan tree's range like a snake.
Others were amazed at it, but didn't have the idea of putting it in the backpack slot - God knows if taking the aberrations back to the real world would be contagious.
There are many magical creations like hallucinogenic aerial roots,
Li Ang looked at the surrounding environment with a serious face, and sighed slowly: "The feeling that gives me is that it is strange, distorted, and full of vitality, just like the beginning of the founding. ”
"What then...."
Wanli Fengdao, who was walking behind him, couldn't help but speak: "Brother Li, can you stop playing with mice, you make me panic like this." ”
"Yes?"
Li Ang, who was carrying a big skinless mouse in each hand, looked as usual, dragged the mouse's long tail about one meter long, and shook the two fat mice back and forth like yo-yos.
While performing all kinds of moves, he whispered something in his mouth, "Magic Glove!" "Stars and Moon Roaming! ”
The two aberrant rats that tried to attack him at the beginning not only had extremely long tails, but also had a sense in the dark,
Just fiddling with one of them will make the other move accordingly, which is quite fun.
"We're here."
Alphonse stopped in front of an alloy door.
The door was ajar, and if you shine a flashlight inside, you can see several giant generators covered in dust on the fungus carpet.
The stonemason looked around, not rushing in, but turned to look at Alphonse, "Where is the distortion that you said was in the way?" ”
"There."
Alphonse pointed to a dark corner of the room inside, where a one-man tall pitch-black cocoon could be seen growing in the corner of the wall.
The cocoon was spindle-shaped, translucent, and through the shell it was possible to see a faintly formed lepidopteran insect floating inside.
"It will attack any creature that walks into the room."
Alphonse said quietly: "I have been killed by it many, many times. ”
Li Ang frowned, stood outside the door, dragged the tails of the two rats and flicked them a few times, and threw them into the room.
Before everyone could react, two thin thread-like objects shot out from the surface of the cocoon, piercing the two giant rats flying in the air with precision, pinning them firmly to the wall.
Zheng –
The sound of the threads breaking through the air was long overdue, mixed with the squeaky screams of rats.
Everyone's faces were a little unsightly, no one could see the movement of the insect cocoon, if they accidentally walked in directly, they would probably be the ones who were nailed to the wall now.
"Squeak—"
The mouse's terrible cry was abruptly interrupted, and the ends of the silk threads extending from the surface of the cocoon suddenly split, like a large curled net, and the rat flew back into the cocoon and wrapped itself in the pile of black silk threads.
"Is this how it hunts?"
The stonemason frowned, pulled his assault rifle from his backpack, motioned for his teammates to take a few steps back, and then stood in the doorway and fired at the cocoon.
Dense gunfire rang out, and before the bullets that flew into the house could get close to the cocoons, they were broken one by one by the stormy silk threads and nailed to the wall.
The stonemason put away his gun and pulled out a bazooka,
However, even the rocket ammunition was easily penetrated - the powerful explosion caused by the ammunition could not even damage the slightest thread.
"Let me do it."
The Black Son motioned for the stonemason to give way, took the flamethrower from the backpack bar, and sprayed it far away towards the cocoon.
Tens of meters long, the pillar of fire ignored all the threads, and the fuel poured precisely on the cocoon, causing it to ignite a raging flame.
The cocoon immediately let out a terrible and mournful sound like an organ, and squirmed towards the generator set.
Zhuang Pengpai hurriedly stepped forward, took off the gloves of the chemical protection suit, hooked his palms, and ingested the excess flames on the insect cocoon into his palm.
Li Ang's eyes, who were secretly observing on the side, shrank suddenly, and in the electric light just now, he saw Zhuang Pengpai's palm.
This man is terrifying!
In his hands, there are two lifelines!
