Chapter 591: Eat Again
So, 5 soldiers were sent to the main hall where the coffin was located to transfer the body of the old duke.
Tang Fang had ordered Roy to close the door of the hall before opening the coffin, and it was difficult to see the situation inside from the outside, and the five soldiers rushed to the target area in a hurry, and they were all relieved to see that the explosion did not affect the main hall. However, when the captain pushed open the door at the end of the lounge and saw the scene inside the main hall, all five soldiers stayed where they were.
They never thought that such a terrifying monster would appear in front of them, there were 2 gold-armored generals next to them, and 4 strangers wearing power armor in the corner of the room, and there were 2 very strange machines suspended in front of the leader, while the coffin of Duke Congreve turned into countless fragments scattered on the ground, mixed with the black-brown viscous substance.
"What...... Who? ”
The leader of the squad held back the horror in his heart and asked in a trembling voice.
If he hadn't spoken, he might have lived longer. It's a pity that there aren't so many ifs in the world, just like the sound of the demon that awakens the evil spirit, the corpse beast let out a roar, and a line of scarlet shot out of its open mouth.
The speed is very fast, only slightly slower than the bone spear of Tai Sui in the "Christiel" industrial park.
The distance between the high platform where the coffin is located and the temple gate is about 20 meters, and the height of the corpse beast should be 2 meters.
Unfortunately, this was not the case, and it was not only the scarlet that shot out, but also Congreve's twisted and deformed head. It's hard to imagine that its neck can support it across a distance of more than 20 meters like a rubber band that stretches unlimitedly, wrapping the squad leader's body with the thick tentacles in its mouth, and pulling it back suddenly.
Dada......
The fire flashed from the muzzle of the Executioner's assault rifle, which left a dense row of bullet holes in the ceiling of the main hall - they were the result of the team leader's knee-jerk shooting.
It wasn't until the corpse beast tore through its chest again like swallowing a mimic chick and devoured the squad leader and his gun that the four soldiers in front of the door came back to their senses. He didn't dare to resist, so he turned around and ran out.
The terrifying scene just now has completely shattered their will to fight, and all they think about is how to escape for their lives, rather than fighting back and saving people. However, the four of them ran out not long before falling to the ground one after another, and did not even go out of the lounge outside.
Tang Fang's face suddenly became even more gloomy. I didn't expect that the effect of that virus-causing cloud would be so strong, and the onset time was incredible. It seems that normal attack methods are not effective, and it will also endanger the humans of "Etia", and it will be necessary to use the powerful firepower to blast it directly to slag in the same way that "Spirit" and "Alcais" used to deal with the phagosome polymer.
The key hall is too narrow for Thor to use, and I don't know if ordinary weapons have any effect on it.
Just as he was thinking about the problem, after swallowing the team leader, the corpse beast's body began to swell, and milky white vesicles bulged out one after another on the surface of the body, and through the thin outer membrane, it could be seen that there were blood-colored parasites wriggling inside.
in the lounge. The four soldiers who had fallen to the ground got up from the ground, like puppets without souls, and walked into the main hall step by step.
Tang Fang could see through the electronic eyes of the harsh environment protective suits that the thread-like insects writhed and passed under their skin, reproducing at an extremely fast speed.
I thought that those virus-causing gases could make people quickly lose their ability to move, and even life, but I didn't expect that they could turn human tissues into parasites in a very short period of time, which was even more terrifying than the "egg-laying" skill of the Zerg Queen, at least the parasites of the Zerg did not control the behavior of the parasites like these blood-colored parasites in front of them.
After 4 soldiers entered the main hall. There were 2 walking towards the corpse beast, which had swelled to 2 and a half meters, and 2 others let out a few roars in the face of the fanatics. Then, as Congreve had begun, his mouth split into four lobes, and five or six blood-red writhing tentacles poured out of it, and a defiant roar came from his throat.
He didn't expect that these parasites still had group consciousness, and their intelligence level seemed to be higher than that of phagosome polymers, but they were much weaker in terms of combat effectiveness. In the hangar of the "Kristel" industrial park, "Tai Sui" had devoured the fanatic, and even the "psionic storm" of the high-level Templar could absorb it, and the corpse beasts in front of him obviously couldn't, and they couldn't even break the Zealot's plasma shield.
"Brother Tang, do you want to close the door of the main hall?"
Roy walked up to him from behind. Shake your blackened arm and ask for his opinion.
Although the copycat Alex?Mercer and the veteran did not know that the white smoke turned by the parasites killed by the fanatics was a virogenic gas, they could have guessed more or less what happened to the five soldiers.
Tang Fang said no, and then sent an order to the mechanical sentry.
In the next second, a "force field" appeared at the door of the lounge, completely blocking the escape path of the poisonous cloud, and at the same time summoned 2 fire amplitudes and 2 evil bats, intending to use them to test the resistance of corpse beasts to high-temperature flames, after all, whether in film and television works or some novels, flames have always been the nemesis of viruses and aliens.
At the same time, the corpse beast turned into Congreve swallowed the two soldiers again, and their size skyrocketed, and their height was already more than 3 meters, like a light tank.
Tang Fang knew that he couldn't let it continue to grow, and as soon as his thoughts moved, 2 flames and 2 evil bats appeared on the high platform where the corpse beast was.
The firebat was the first to attack, spraying clouds of high-temperature plasma at the corpse beast that the two soldiers had turned into, while the evil bat, under the cover of the fanatic, surrounded the large man, turned on the hellfire thrower, and poured flames on the corpse beast's body.
There was a strange smell wafting in the air, and the three corpse beasts, 1 big and 2 small, let out a miserable roar, and even the concentration of the deadly virus in the air was decreasing.
However, this was not enough to completely wipe out the Great Corpse Beast.
When the corpse beast transformed by the two soldiers was incinerated into two charcoal bodies by the high-temperature plasma, countless vesicles on the body surface of the large corpse beast burst, and countless parasites were pushed into the air and fell like raindrops.
Some of them were ignited by the flames and turned into wisps of white smoke, while others fell to the ground and squirmed and fled.
The body surface of the Great Corpse Beast has many such vesicles, which are filled with large and small maggot-like parasites. As they scramble to leave their mothers and flee in all directions, one can imagine what it will be.
Tang Fang felt that his scalp was numb, and his dense phobia made him feel bad.
The battered corpse beast began to fight back, countless blood-red tentacles burrowed from the rupture of the mouth and vesicles, and wrapped around the two evil bats at great speed.
It's fast. The zealot reacted faster, and the psionic blade sliced tentacle after tentacle in two, and the fire followed behind, roasting the balls of flesh that twisted and wrestled on the ground to return to the mother's body.
With the cooperation of the Zealoat, the Evil Bat, and the Fire Bat, the corpse beast was dismembered into large and small pieces of flesh, becoming white smoke coke under the flamethrower.
The whole hall was burning, and the heat burned the statue of Jesus on the wall, falling to the ground and falling to pieces. The surrounding flowers and fiber products burned together, and the flames spread to the audience. Ignite the tables, chairs and carpets to create a hunting fire.
Only the place where Tang Fang and a few people were standing was blocked by the force field and was spared.
The Great Corpse Beast eventually died under the billowing flames of the Hellfire Jet, but this did not mean that the battle was over, on the contrary, the shape became more and more severe.
The small corpse beast transformed by the two soldiers, plus the large corpse beast transformed by Congreve, sprayed out a large number of blood-colored parasites in the battle just now, and in a short period of time, it filled the entire hall.
on the window lattice. On the beams, on the curtains. In the corner...... Wherever there is no flame, there is their save. It takes a long time to pass the entire hall through the fire with the firepower of the evil bats and fire bats, and the relatively low temperature flames on the periphery of the flame flow cannot completely kill them, and they must be completely destroyed with the core temperature.
There was no time to clean them up of the parasites now, because in order to ensure that the power of the flames sprayed by the evil bats and fire bats was not affected during the battle just now, he had already instructed the fanatics to destroy the fire system, so that the fire in the main hall was getting bigger and bigger. God knows what will happen if those virus-causing clouds or parasites escape to the outside world, and if it does cause a catastrophe, he will not become a sinner for the people of "Etiya".
The flame temperature in the main hall is not enough. Difficult to kill parasites and virogenic clouds; Vicious bats and fire bats don't have enough time to clear the field.
He took a few deep breaths to calm his mood as much as possible, concentrated on thinking for a moment, took back the Zealot, the Evil Bat and the Fire Bat, released a cockroach, and on the one hand ordered it to dig a hole in the ground as fast as possible, and on the other hand, he commanded the Static Ball and the Mechanical Sentinel to continuously perform the "Force Field" skill, and put a translucent energy film on the wall to seal the entire building.
In the end, he summoned 3 widow mines in a row, activated the delayed detonation function, and drilled into the crypt dug by the cockroaches along with Aros, Roy, and Irma.
The battle continues outside, and the Banshee Fighters have shifted their bombing targets from the Clock Tower complex to the administrative office area north of the garden.
Because Congreve's body is placed in the south of the garden, the most important thing recently is the funeral of the Duke, the administrative work is almost at a standstill, and there are naturally not many people in the administrative district, so naturally it will not bring too many casualties, and it can attract the attention of the defense forces of the park.
In addition, reconnaissance ships and combat aircraft dispatched from the perimeter warning area of the island have also arrived and are carrying out all-round reconnaissance operations in the northern part of the park without dead ends.
At this moment, a huge explosion sounded from the area where the coffin of Duke Congreve was parked in the southern district, the ground of the entire island was shaking, the glass windows of some buildings exploded, the mushroom clouds churning in the distance surged, the shock wave formed a hurricane, the vegetation in a radius of hundreds of meters was scorched yellow in an instant under the high temperature, the trees were uprooted, and the stones on the rockery shot out, hitting the surrounding buildings and facilities like cannonballs, smashing out one big crater after another.
The buildings of the Dengle Palace are very strong, and the shock wave from the explosion of the three widow mines did not collapse them, and only some fragile structures such as glass windows, wood products, decorations, etc. were shattered and blown away.
Of course, the damage to the building is secondary, and the deterrent effect on the defense forces of the park is the most deadly.
I thought that the terrorists who infiltrated the island were only a few stealth aerial vehicles wreaking havoc in the northern part of the park, but I didn't expect that there were such heavyweight things as tactical nuclear weapons.
At such a sensitive time, a large part of the nobles and high-ranking officials in the territory of the Kernar family rushed to Kandal Island, plus the members of the Kernar family, this small island has gathered more than half of the power of the entire dukedom, if all these people die in the terrorist attack, it is conceivable what impact it will have on the duke. It will even affect the situation of the entire kingdom.
The commander in charge of the defense work did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered a change in the operational policy, from counterattack to evacuation, and sent important people away from the island as soon as possible, and then dealt a blow to the terrorists.
At the same time, rubble is rubble in the corner of the ruins where the coffin of Congreve is placed. A large piece of building wreckage was turned over from below, and four people from the Tang side came out of the crypt.
Because just after the nuclear explosion, no one dared to arrive, only a reconnaissance drone flew under the clouds and was shot down by a flying dragon.
According to the results of the detector scan, the virulent bacteria have been incinerated under the flames generated by the explosion of the three widow mines, and with the strength and range of the thermal radiation, there is no risk of causing the spread of germs.
Knowing this, he felt a little relieved. Walked up to Roy and ordered to open the suitcase.
In the battle just now, he had instructed the fanatics to leave a small specimen of the corpse beast, which could be given to Valentine to analyze the DNA composition and figure out the characteristics of the xenomorphic lifeform that seemed to be of the same family as the epic creature, and second, to see if he could unlock new Zerg units - he was very skeptical about this, because the interstellar 2 Zerg units were only Thunderbeast that had not been unlocked, with the ability of Duke Congreve to transform into corpse beasts. Obviously, it doesn't have much to do with the Thunder Beast, in fact, even if there are no new units to unlock. It would also be good to be able to increase the unlocking progress of Abbather.
Roy hesitated a little and said, "Brother Tang, are you sure you want to do this?" ”
Tang Fang smiled slightly and raised his right hand: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”
"That'...... You be careful. ”
Seeing the arc of his palm bouncing, the half-sized boy was a little relieved. Press the unlock button of the refrigerator.
Hearing a snort, a cold air erupted from the crack, Tang Fang did not hesitate, and stretched out his arm towards the charred corpse in the left area of the refrigerator.
The moment his palm touched the charred mass, the system interface in his mind darkened. After 3 seconds, with a beep, a string of characters flashed in front of my eyes.
“system,restart…… ok!”
“init……”
“prepare,dates……”
“update…… 15%…… 44%…… 87%……”
“release.”
“run,now!”
“……”
I think there was such a scene when the system unlocked the first generation of units such as lurkers and queens, combined with the strange abilities of the corpse beast, he felt that it was possible to unlock the first generation of polluters (scorpions), and he felt a little unreasonable, because according to Emma's analysis of the DNA fragments of the corpse beast provided by the original worm, it was closer to the epic creature family than the phagosome polymer.
He decided to investigate the Zerg base himself, so he turned his attention to the system space.
At this moment, an unexpected thing happened, one of the two parasites placed in the right area of the refrigerator suddenly turned into a bloody arrow, and while he was distracted, he went straight to the door from the bottom up.
Unexpectedly, these parasites are afraid of high temperatures, not afraid of cold, and still maintain their vitality in an environment of minus 30 degrees.
Seeing that Tang Fang was stunned in place, not realizing that the crisis was approaching, Roy, who had always been 12 points of caution about the two specimens in the refrigerator, roared suddenly, his right arm instantly blackened, and his reaction speed was much faster than the speed of fire of the parasite, and he fished it out in mid-air, directly fished the parasite in the palm of his hand, and closed the refrigerator as soon as possible, so as not to let the second parasite run out with him.
He originally planned to imprison the palm parasite first and wait for Tang Fang to deal with it, but he didn't expect that the blackened right arm suddenly changed, just like when he devoured the broken arm of a member of the Brotherhood, a crack directly opened in his palm, swallowing the parasite in one bite.
Then, the black arm began to soften, and the cyan meridians slowly turned red, twisting and rolling like a living little snake, and the muscles paced like a heartbeat.
Roy's cheeks were covered with beads of sweat, and his brow and twitching lips showed that he was in pain right now.
Aros stepped forward from behind, grabbed his right hand, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ‘
"It'...... Handful...... It ate. “
Aros didn't know why, and asked, "Who ate whom?" ”
Tang Fang woke up in shock when he heard this, forced himself to shift his attention from the system space to reality, and hurriedly summoned a nurse MM to quickly diagnose Roy's physical condition.
Before she could make a move, the redness and swelling on Roy's right arm subsided like a tide, and her breathing gradually returned to steady.
He squeezed out an unnatural smile and said, "It's all right...... It doesn't hurt anymore. ”
"The phagosome gene is playing tricks again?"
Tang Fang remembered the scene that had happened in the medical chamber of the "Morning Star", where Roy's right arm had devoured a severed arm of a Brotherhood member, thus gaining a long-range attack ability, and the corrosive liquid could even prevent the wounds of the Akron's underground dryad creatures from healing themselves.
Roy wiped the sweat off his face and nodded: "Well, it quieted down after it was full, and it didn't hurt anymore." ”
Nurse MM also sent the news to Tang Fang after some diagnosis that "Roy's physical indicators are normal except for his right arm".
"Has anything changed in it?"
Roy knew that he was asking about the change in the ability of his right arm, so he felt it carefully and shook his head: "It seems to be asleep." ”
Tang Fang frowned slightly after hearing this, thinking that now was not the time to investigate whether Roy's right arm had evolved again, so he could distinguish the direction, greet a few people, and walk towards the western part of the garden where the prison area is located. (To be continued......)
