Volume 3: Angels of Light (23)

Under the cool night breeze, dozens of huge king squid each stepped on a giant turtle toe and rose out of the sea, and the largest one stood more than 30 meters high. It stretched out a tentacle full of suction cups and scratched its bare head, as if it wasn't quite used to being out of the water, and then turned its slippery eyes to the main battlefield.

The automatic fire platform placed on the high wall of the outpost is in full swing, and more than a dozen fire whips are intertwined to cut the shrimp soldiers and crabs that will rush up to surround the outpost, these cannon fodder of the third order, the strength of the armor can't resist the powerful firepower of the platform at all, and they are put to the ground in pieces, and soon a thick layer of corpses is spread on the beach.

The squid's gaze was drawn to the weapon platform by the powerful firepower, and it seemed to have found the target of this time to bother them, and the tentacles that were still stroking their heads turned to the outpost, and opened their mouths to emit a burst of infrasound waves that could not be caught by human ears. Under the urging of the infrasound, all the squid's thick nozzles began to wriggle, and then spewed out clumps of black ink that did not disperse.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

After the sound of rain hitting the plantains, all the fire platforms were blackened with ink

"it, pee in the wind! Terrible! ”

Will muttered to himself dumbfounded. Everyone looked at him in disgust when they heard this, what kind of person is this!

The turret, which had been imposing just a moment ago, was drenched in ink, and the speed of rotation gradually slowed down, and soon the barrel exploded, turning the whole body into a pile of scrap metal, and the sprayed ink began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye and solidify the turret into a black lump.

The outpost, which had lost its fire cover, was immediately surrounded by water, but the aquatic creatures were apparently helpless to take advantage of the concrete walls and alloy gates that were several meters thick, and had to wander back and forth below.

Under the watchful eye of the king squid, of course, no one would go to the artificial fire point, so the two sides were at a stalemate.

In the sea not far away, all kinds of strange creatures kept climbing up the beach and hurried inland, and the last thing that came out was a whole team of fishmen, and I didn't know that these fishmen were mutated from that kind of fish, with light green scales covering the whole body, and the pectoral and dorsal fins had evolved into slender and deformed legs and hands, and were trying to transform from aquatic to amphibians.

Holding a transparent rope in their hands, these fishmen exerted their strength in unison in the silent cry of the leader fish-man, dragging a transparent-colored behemoth hundreds of meters long onto the shore, the huge creature was holding a mushroom head, and countless tentacles were flying under the umbrella cover, more than a dozen of which were being used as ropes in the hands of those fishmen.

"This ...... What is it? ”

Liu Yuxin's upper and lower teeth were chattering, and this huge tentacle monster like a jellyfish made people furious from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's a Soul Eater, who is good at controlling biomagnetic fields, interfering with the body's magnetic field and capturing brain electromagnetic waves."

Shen Hongxia explained in a low voice on the side, her face was not much better than Liu Yuxin's

As they spoke, the sea swelled like a boil, and another group of fishmen surfaced and dragged the second Eater of Souls up, along with a special fish-man with two long whiskers on his face. The fish-man was supposed to be a fish-man elder or something, holding a smooth, intact vertebrae, the end of which turned out to be a brown core. The elder thrust the bone staff in his hand into the sand, and stretched out his hands, and the fishmen let go of the transparent tentacles of the soul eater one after another, and knelt down on the churning sea.

A dark green eye emerged from the water, and a tentacle attached to it was so flexible that it moved the eyeball around, and after completing the entire patrol of the beach, which eye did not enter the water, and the tumbling sea gradually subsided.

"That's?"

Liu Yuxin cast a questioning look at Suzuki Nan, as long as he asked him, he would definitely get the answer he wanted

This time, Suzuki Man surprisingly ignored Liu Yuxin, and only muttered to himself:

"Isn't it the human side that has advanced this time?"

Liu Yuxin reluctantly turned her gaze to Li Yanlong, although this person didn't seem to be a good person, but his knowledge seemed to be no less than that of the president

"That's a newly promoted legendary creature patrolling the territory, and it looks like this large-scale xenomorph invasion is just a bunch of cubs preparing fresh food for their new masters."

Li Yanlong still kept smiling and said these terrifying words unhurriedly

"Treat us like a snack? Hum! ”

Will was very unhappy when he heard this, and snorted coldly:

"I'll catch a fishman and grill it later, I don't know how it tastes......"

After a pause, he seemed to remember something

"I said, if I eat this fish man, what if I eat the fish? Or can it be considered a human eater? ”

Everyone was overwhelmed by his question, and threw a wide roll of the eye at him. Your sister, these fishmen have all been transformed, and they can coordinate their balance with just two feet, and the degree of evolution is not lower than that of the third order. With so many hundreds of third-order fishmen eyeing you up, you actually want to rush over and grab one and roast it, the brain circuit is really unexpectedly strange. Not to mention the two Soul Eaters who were definitely fourth-order, just those fish-man tribes that obviously already had a certain trace of civilization were enough for a few of them to drink a pot.

The fish-men who continued to kneel on the sand also got up after pulling out their canes, scattered their own actions, and selected relatively intact shrimp and crab carcasses on the ground in groups of three or five, sat down and tore off a piece with their hands and chewed, completely ignoring the few kittens standing on the concrete wall. And the aliens who were still surrounding the outpost just now also avoided one after another, and many of them casually picked up a piece of corpse with big tongs and quietly retreated into the sea.

For a moment, the whole beach was filled with the sound of clattering and scalp-numbing chewing.

The people who had eaten the same thing just now looked at the overflowing juice from the fish-man bites, and their hearts felt sick to their stomachs. Nima, didn't civilization begin with eating cooked food? You guys hurry up and make a fire for me to cook before eating, it's so disgusting, do you want us to quit seafood in the future?

But they can't just throw a lighter down and teach them how to cook seafood, right? Time passed like this, minute by minute, and the connection between his side and the rear has been cut off. As a powerful tactician, although the Soul Eater is mainly good at field hypnosis and hallucination, and in addition to interfering with the enemy's biomagnetic field to make them suffer from negative states such as despair, physical weakness, and decreased concentration, it is of course not a problem to arrange a communication isolation magnetic field, and the people in the academy did not let Abby, who was used as a tactical support, neutralize this magnetic field in order not to expose their strength.

After a long wait, a long dragon of aquatic creatures appeared in the inland direction. The first group of xenos carried all kinds of land creatures on their backs, from larger beetles to huge beasts of prey, and the list was too numerous to count.

The xenos placed the unconscious creatures in the clearing in front of the Eater of Souls and retreated back into the sea. The Eater of Souls reached out his tentacles and threw the unconscious creatures into his body one by one. The creatures melted away at a rate visible to the naked eye, leaving only a few hairs and digested fiber residues in its stomach, which were then spit out by the Soul Eater in a cloud of sewage.

Liu Yuxin now finally knew what was going on with the clothes all over the place in the outpost, and she couldn't help but shiver again.

After savoring all the kinds, one of the Eaters of Souls drew a quick picture of the Elder's face, and the Elder seemed to know exactly what it was saying, and after its tentacles left, the bone staff in its hand was held high, and the core at the top emitted a circle of aura. The sea, which had been very calm just a moment ago, rose again, and in a few breaths the vast sea was covered with all kinds of sea creatures. Those who have the ability to go ashore have to be led by armed fishmen to the depths of the interior.

Looking at the dense xenomorphs, I'm afraid that there are a few marine xenomorph legions pouring out of the nest in this operation? In this way, more than 100 kilometers from the coast to the inland will be swept away!

"What do you think about the fact that the personnel in the buffer zone should be notified in time for the transfer?"

Suzuki asked for his teammate's opinion with a heavy face. To sit here and watch those aliens take their own kind, as human self-esteem will not allow such inaction. However, as a non-active military force, it does not have the obligation to defend the defense area and transfer the population, and it is still necessary to consult other personnel in the case of its own safety.

"I don't have any opinion, it's just that tonight is a little more exciting"

Will shrugged indifferently, he had never been intimidated by that

"I don't have a problem with that, if you nest here, they're going to cut us sooner or later"

Li Yanlong also followed suit

Suzuki nodded

"Then let's do it, let's prepare, 5 minutes later, Abby will be responsible for neutralizing the attack of the Soul Eater, after connecting the communication, Shen Hongxia will take the lead, and everyone will attack to the east."

Liu Yuxin was a little dissatisfied when she saw that Suzuki ignored him

"Hey, you haven't asked for my opinion yet?"

Suzuki gave him a disdainful look

"Your opinion? What can you do? I wouldn't mind if you didn't want to go."

Liu Yuxin: "......"

You'd better not get hurt!

Five minutes later, everyone gathered together again, and Suzuki looked at Liu Yuxin, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, shook his head and threw aside several long and short guns he had tied to his body

"We are fleeing for our lives, not going to war"

Liu Yuxin threw away the corresponding ammunition with a painful face, leaving only a rifle and several magazines in her hand, and picked up a BP3000 from the ground

"Shall I take an extra pistol for self-defense?"

Hearing that this gun is expensive, the whole camp also found two, which are estimated to be the officer's matching guns, Liu Yuxin said that he was reluctant to throw them away

Suzuki looked at his unproductive brother-in-law and shook his head again

"Are you all ready? Abby, break the magnetic field! ”

Abby stood at the head of the wall after receiving the order

"Wow~Wow"

After a roar, a circle of green light radiated outward from its body, and after contact with the air, it actually produced a ripple in the void, and after a clear sound, the halo turned into a little starlight and dissipated.

"Shen Hongxia, start the assault!"

A blazing pillar of light rose from the city wall and shot into the northeast 100 meters away with a brilliant flame tail, turning everything in its path to ashes, leaving only a dark red hot channel
