Chapter 70: The Outpost
The speed of the space elevator was very fast, and after a while, it came to the place where it was almost near the end with several special soldiers and Onno. In this place, the lowest level of the cosmic watchtower has been reached, and the huge entrance that lies across the starry sky is no longer visible. Only then did the soldiers stand up and watch as the entrance and the walls of the entrance pipe were getting closer and closer, and some strange black material appeared on the walls of the entrance pipe.
Onno also saw the strange black substance, something new that neither he nor Ya had ever seen. And the appearance of this thing also means that since Onno left, the interior of the Cosmic Watchtower has also undergone more changes. The space elevator made a collision sound, followed by a burst of space elevators, and the lights in the elevator compartment also changed color in time to indicate that they had reached the space watchtower.
"Whew!" There was a strange sound as the space between the elevator car and the Cosmic Watchtower was exchanged, and then the door between the elevator car and the Cosmic Watchtower opened! The pale blue light indicates that the disinfection function is still intact, but they do not need to kill the virus now, but will set up an outpost in this place and part of the biological laboratory outside, and release the scout robots or scout creatures to start detecting the entire space watchtower for scars and information about the enemy.
When the blue light had sterilized all the soldiers and Onno, the door slowly opened, and the fragments of the two monsters that Ono had left behind when he fled were still in the same place. Everything around is in a state of whirlpool. And this is the trace of the battle of Onno in the first place. Some of the fragments left by the monster were still extremely hard, and after Onno had a special soldier collect a few pieces, he began to build the outpost.
The entire biological laboratory was still quiet after Onno and the others entered, and no enemies or monsters appeared, and they couldn't even see the specific situation in those laboratories not far away. The ground and walls are more or less distributed with the same black substance seen on the wall of the space elevator tube before, and Ya has determined that this black substance is actually a biological flora, but I don't know why it has become like this.
Judging from the current situation, these black flora are not harmful. Therefore, the crowd did not pay much attention to this thing, and just continued to install some devices in the outpost, and did not further establish a defensive line to help. At the same time as it was established, two Scout Robots and two Scout creatures were dispatched!
Both of these scouting guys have a unique way of acting, with one robot flying out and the other crawling out on a wall. And those two scout creatures were directly invisible, and then their whereabouts were unknown. When the reconnaissance was released, the proposed outpost command post was set up as soon as possible. The screen detected by the robot is also played in real time! As for the scout creatures, a large number of images were also transmitted, but these images needed to be processed twice before they could be understood, so the first observation target of Onno was still the scout robot.
The speed of the robot was very fast, and soon it flew to the periphery of the corridor, where the creatures that had broken through the glass in pursuit of Onno had disappeared, and the ground, walls, and ceiling were covered with bloodstains, mixed with a large number of footprints and paw prints, and the traces of being dragged were mixed with blood, and it was thought that there had been an unusually terrifying battle here, and those monsters seemed to have fallen into madness because of the disappearance of Onno. When the scout robot arrived in the office hall where music and computers were played in addition to the corridor, the scene here subverted Ono before!
Through the footage sent back by the reconnaissance robot, Onno was surprised to find that there were some very strange situations here, those monsters who had been chasing him before did not kill each other, but looked at the passage leading to the depths of the cosmic watchtower with great vigilance! The monsters looked intently as long as they had eyes, and Onno asked the Zhancha robot to probe the inside of the passage but found nothing.
Immediately afterwards, Onno found that at the front of this group of monsters sat kneeling a female who kept swaying her body! The woman had long hair and a white lab coat that indicated that she had once been a scientist here, and the woman's hands were clasped over her chest, as if she was holding something. Ono wanted to control the robot to observe further, but found that those monsters were quite protective of this woman, and even when Ono operated the robot close, the monsters changed from staring at the corridor to staring at the reconnaissance drone!
"Boom...... Mutter! The monsters let out a strange growl, their cat-like hunched bodies signaling their imminent attack. And the amplitude of the woman's swaying body became faster and the angle became much larger when these monsters were abnormal.
In desperation, Onno had no choice but to evacuate the scout robot from that place. Strange to say, after seeing the robot disappear, these monsters actually returned to the back of the woman and continued to stare at the hallway. It seems that even if there is no one in the hallway, you need to be on full alert.
By the time the flying recon robot stepped out of that direction, the crawling robot had carefully circled in front of the woman, its small mechanical body the same color as the metal on the ground, which caused the monsters to not notice the robot's presence.
The crawling scout robot approached the female scientist and first carefully probed for anything in the long hallway. As a result, no thermal, electrostatic, or light imaging were found. Only when infrasonic echo imaging is performed can it be seen that there is a humanoid object at the end of the hallway. And because of the length of the corridor, the infrasonic echo imaging is not so clear.
Next, the robot turned its perspective to the female scientist who was constantly swaying her body, and when the scientist revealed her true appearance and what she was holding in her arms, Onno felt a chill pass from head to toe! The "female scientist" was wearing a white lab coat, but all but the hair and the appearance of a human woman were all over the disgusting and terrifying points of human beings.
On the face without reddish skin, the eyes are covered by a thick red film, leaving only two shining dots of light, and the rest of the face is all covered with dense small holes, some of which have some slender tentacles from time to time. This guy's bare skin is also covered with that disgusting little hole. As for what this guy was holding in his arms, it was something that resembled a human baby, with a huge head and a curled up body that resembled a human baby.
The only difference is that the two hands of this "female scientist" have been completely fused into the body of this human baby! Now this weird guy is swaying back and forth like a mother breastfeeding her child. As for the baby's appearance, Onno was completely sure that the guy was definitely not human! Just the fact that there is no skin leaking from the back of the head, pink muscles, and white fascia can be seen.
After observing the robot for a while, Onno was about to control the robot to return to the outpost, but as soon as the robot made a move, the eyes of the "female scientist" suddenly moved and discovered the existence of the robot at the first time! At the same time, the baby in the arms of the female scientist let out a cry as if it came from hell! The female scientist slowly stood up under the influence of this cry!
The female scientist was still wearing human clothes, but except for the white coat, the woman's clothes were covered with blood, and as for the baby, when the female scientist stood up, the robot saw that the baby's front face had no facial features at all, only a huge mouth full of teeth! And that terrible cry came from the great mouth.
"Damn it!" The robot was discovered, and Onno immediately controlled the robot and ran towards the corridor! And after the female scientist let out a roar, the hand that was holding the baby in her arms and growing with the baby actually stretched out as if she had taken off her gloves, pointing to the deepest part of the corridor.
The female scientist's hand seems to have a very strong dominance over the monster behind it! The monsters followed their fingers and rushed in frantically. Although the scout robot executed the stealth program in the first place, it could not withstand the crazy onslaught of these monsters. Just then, the door at the end of the corridor opened, and a voice very familiar to Onno rang out in the hallway!
"Flesh! No existential value! Die and be a part of the fusion! "The one who made the sound was the same one that Unnor had seen before, in those X-Terminator droids deployed in the Cosmic Watchtower, and their flesh fusion variants! These guys seem to have been waiting behind the door at the end of the hallway, and when the monsters rushed into the hallway, these half-machine, half-flesh creatures rushed in and fought the monsters fiercely!
Monsters are fighting with fangs and sour saliva, metal blades of flaming and flesh robots, and a variety of live-ammunition weapons. The battle between the two sides soon entered a white-hot stage, the killed monsters were used by the robots as a supplement of flesh and blood, and the disassembled robots were smashed by the monsters and there was no possibility of repair!
There are hundreds of monsters and dozens of flesh and blood robots in the small passage engaged in a crazy battle, but because of the venue, only the three or two monsters and three or two robots at the front of the two sides are fighting, and the others are blocking the entire passage! Seeing this, after scanning most of the data, Onno cautiously ran out of the passage and immediately controlled the robot to move closer in the direction of the outpost.
The female scientist, as the "overseer" of the monsters, is naturally looking at everything in the corridor from behind, although the front of the eye has a thick membrane, but it does not affect the vision, and even more powerful than the human vision, you can see the fast-crawling scout robot, and when it finds that the place where the robot is going is the front of the disinfection room that the monster and the flesh robot have been unable to pass through, a terrifying roar comes out from the invisible "mouth" of the female scientist and the mouth of the baby.
There was a roar, and the battle in the corridor stopped, and then the monsters and flesh robots that had just been fighting to death all poured out of the corridor to look at the end of the biology lab......
