Chapter 596: Freak
Tang Fang glanced around and found that he was in a hall with silver-white walls, and in the middle there was a half-human-high rectangular pillar, on which was placed a computer, and the monitor was working in screensaver mode, and there was a cube slowly rotating on it.
"What about Roy and Aroth?"
Zhou Ai took a long breath, finally came back to his senses, remembered the experience just now, and asked urgently.
"The two of them are on the -18th floor...... Rest assured, there is no danger. ”
He comforted her, pulled her up from the floor, and walked to the broken hall door to look down the elevator shaft.
The car stopped on the -28th floor, and from the gap between the guide rail and the car wall, you can see a touch of blood retreating like a tide.
He knew it wasn't the tide, it was a puddle of flesh wriggling and contracting.
Sure enough, as Zhou Ai said, this is not a good place.
"Brother Tang, how are you doing?"
Roy's voice could be heard upstairs, and the veteran had broken down the hall door on the -18th floor, and when he looked down, the half-grown boy was also looking down.
"We're fine."
"Alright, you wait there, we'll go down at once, Uncle Aros has found the stairs to the lower floor."
Tang Fang wanted to say that there was no need to be so troublesome, and that he could easily pick them up by using the vetoer's "anti-gravity" and "force field" skills, but unfortunately, before he could speak, Roy left the elevator shaft and chased after Aros.
He turned his gaze again to the place where the car was moored, and found that the blood was completely gone, and he didn't know where he had gone. Through the gap in the door of the hall on the lower floor, it was also found that the lights on the 21st and -22nd floors were flickering and flickering, and the lower floors were pitch black from the -23rd floor to the -28th floor where the car was located.
"Where are we now?"
Zhou Ai shook his still dizzy head and glanced at his surroundings. Subconsciously asked.
"-20 floors."
Tang Fang passed by her and walked to the computer in the center of the hall, and with a flick of his finger on the display, the cube disappeared and was replaced by a desktop menu.
He plugged a number of wires into the universal interface, telling Emma to hack into the entire computer network. Let's see if we can extract the useful number jù in the number jù library, and it's best to figure out what research is going on in this area, and what is the origin of the unknown monster just now.
At this time, Zhou Ai finally adjusted his state and walked to him: "Did you find anything?" ”
He pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "The contents of the network database have been deleted, and the central computer has not responded, I don't know if it was damaged in the battle or artificially shut down. ”
"That's ......," Zhou Ai asked, "So what should we do now?" ”
Tang Fang unplugged the number of jù lines from the computer and sent her a detailed structural plan of the building facilities that Emma had obtained.
"Let's go. Go to the safe passage where the stairs are. After speaking, he walked forward and explained: "It seems that the battle is taking place downstairs, let's go and meet Aros and Roy first." ”
…………
When the Tang and the others made their way to the safe passage, Roy and Aros had already left the lobby where the elevator was located and entered a long hallway.
The rectangular array of lights on the ceiling stretched to the end, and although it was not damaged, the brightness was high and low due to a malfunction in the power system. It's a heart-pounding feeling.
On either side of the corridor are rows of solid rooms, and there is no one behind the transparent glass windows. There are only colorful chemical reagents and real equipment, and some detectors will occasionally beep, adding an oppressive and terrifying atmosphere to the otherwise quiet environment.
Roy shrugged his shoulders, sometimes looking left and right with his gun, sometimes turning to aim behind him, making a well-trained look. But how funny it looks.
Compared to his nervousness, Aros seemed uncomparably more relaxed, with a half-lit cigar in his mouth and a leisurely walk, as if walking on the shore of a lake. The only dissonance was the muffled sound of the iron boots on the ground.
The stillness of the environment contrasts sharply with the movement of the two, and the corridor of just over 100 meters seems extraordinarily long.
Just as Roy was halfway through his calculations, the unexpected happened.
A thumping sound rang out from the top of the hallway, some of the lights went out, others splattered out.
Half of the child's heart sank, and he looked at the place where the muffled sound came from and shouted: "What person! ”
Completely different from his reaction, the veteran didn't say much, pulled him behind him, and raised the muzzle of the gun slightly as he stepped back, instantly spewing out dense flames.
The metal spikes continued to sink into the ceiling, leaving a circle of fine bullet holes.
There was no creature's roar of being shot, and the muffled sound of the first cooping was gone.
Roy cautiously leaned out from behind the veteran, tightly holding the C-14 piercing hand, and was about to ask something, when the ceiling fell from the sky with a bang, and the two of them felt a flash of blood in front of them, and a terrifying monster that looked like two human upper bodies spliced together appeared in front of them.
Its four palms supported the ground, and the hideous faces facing the two of them let out a roar, the musculature of its chest twisted, and the metal nails shot by the veteran just now were pushed out of the body one after another, and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
At that moment, there was a strange sound at the entrance of the hallway, crackling and crackling, and then they saw one freak after another clinging to the walls on either side or crawling on the ground like a terrible red wave.
This time, not only Roy, but even the veterans froze, wondering where they came from and why a large group suddenly appeared.
Hiss......
The deformed creature in front of him moved its four palms, lifted its head, which seemed to have been peeled off the skin, leaving only muscle tissue, and spewed out a puff of red smoke towards the front.
Aros hurriedly spit out the cigar in his mouth, watched it roll continuously in mid-air, and then sank into the red smoke ball, quickly dropped Ma Runjia's skull, pulled up Roy, who was about to blacken his right arm to give those ugly monsters a little color, and ran to the end of the corridor without looking back.
"Hurry up with stimulants."
Roy muffled, pricked a stimulant shot, and ran desperately after the veteran.
Bang ......
Behind them was an army of dozens of deformed monsters, hundreds of palms clinging to the plasma slapping against the smooth floor, and the entire floor shook.
Tang Fang and Zhou Ai walked on the -20th floor, and they could clearly feel the violent shaking under their feet and on the ceiling.
"Hurry up, Aros they're in danger."
He didn't dare to slack off. Grabbed Zhou Ai's hand and ran wildly towards the location of the safe passage at maximum speed.
Strangely, the freaks who were able to climb the eaves and walk the walls did not appear on the -20th floor, and when the two of them ran to the safe passage without any danger, Aros was jumping down the stairs with Roy, and from time to time throwing a fragment grenade or two behind him, blowing up the freaks to a grief.
But that doesn't stop them from moving forward. As the two of them walked on the stairs, some of the deformed monsters bent their 4 palms to the ground, and then quickly extended, and the reaction force gave them extremely excellent bounce ability, and they immediately attached themselves to the wall at the end of the corridor, dodging the grenade fragments, and opened their mouths suddenly, and a long scarlet tongue shot out like lightning.
Roy couldn't see what was going on behind him because of his posture, and he didn't realize that there was a long tongue curling up from his side.
Emergency. The veteran held the gun in his left hand, pulled the trigger again and again, and temporarily pinned the second deformed monster to the corner of the wall, pulled his right hand to Roy's back, grabbed the long tongue in the palm of his hand with a snap, twisted and dragged it hard, moved the muzzle of the gun, and the metal nails that shot out pasted the face of the first deformed monster.
The half-sized boy heard the wind behind him. When I looked back, I happened to see the scene of the veteran confined the two deformed monsters. Just as he was about to help, he was yelled at by Aros to "go away", so he had to continue running downstairs.
Today, he really understands how rich the combat experience of the veteran is, and he is not comparable to a rookie like him at all.
Aros cracked his long tongue, his feet slightly apart, and his wrists tugged hard. The long, tendon-like tongue was snapped by him, and the deformed monster that hurt roared wildly.
At this moment, the second freak finally broke free from the metal nail array and let out a roar at the tough guy opposite.
Behind it, more freaks jumped onto the wall. Scarlet eyes were on Aros, and something on his cheeks was twitching.
He glanced over his head at the army of deformed monsters swarming at the top of the stairs, and one of them jumped down the stairs, running directly across -19 to -20.
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, he knows better than anyone that in order to survive on the complicated battlefield, what he needs most is not blood, not skills, or physique, but calmness and not giving up.
He was never short of both, so he wouldn't mess around like Roy and wouldn't have any heroic ideas, and he made up his mind from the first sight of the Freak. Escape! Flee to the floor where Tang Fang is, only that guy can withstand the onslaught of these aliens.
While running through the stairwell on floors -19 to -20, he suddenly noticed a very bad situation.
The half-cut tongue that had been grabbed was covered with a slimy layer of body fluid, which was highly corrosive, and the glove made of composite material ablated extremely quickly.
He didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly pulled the elbow joint and took off the entire right arm armor and threw it on the ground.
At the same time, one day, the scarlet long tongue went straight to Ma Runjia's helmet from top to bottom, and it turned out to be a deformed monster attached to the back of the corridor to attack.
The veteran did not dare to dodge, because it would reduce his speed, and the long tongue that followed would drown him, so he used his feet hard, pounced forward, and smashed through the door directly with his shoulder, falling to the ground while throwing two high-explosive grenades backwards, and with a bang, the stairs from floors -19 to -20 collapsed.
The dust surged, the rubble splashed, and the veteran rolled to the side, and was about to get up and run wildly to the agreed meeting place, when he wanted to pierce the smoke and dust like a red light arrow from behind him, and pierce him in the back of the heart.
The long scarlet tongue bent at a right angle of nearly 90 degrees in mid-air.
Seeing that the veteran was unable to make evasive actions because of his position, he was about to be wounded under the bloody tongue that was as tight as a spear, and suddenly a little fire burst out, and the firing pin of the armor-piercing bullet split the long tongue in half from the middle, and finally disappeared into the cloud of smoke and dust.
The dark corridor lit up with a light, and Zhou Ai and the panting Roy approached quickly.
Tang Fang got out of his stealth state, stepped forward and took the veteran's hand and took him behind him.
At the same time, the stairwell flickered, and one fanatic after another rushed into the thinning clouds of smoke, dancing psionic blades refracting light and shadow, accompanied by the screams of the deformed monsters.
"Uncle Aros, are you alright?"
Roy asked with a worried look on his face when he saw the veteran's bare right arm, as he remembered. Just now, the veteran used that hand to catch the long tongue of the deformed monster for him.
"I'm fine."
Aros took out a cigar from the storage device and put it in his mouth, but it was not lit, maybe it was used to suppress the shock, or it was used to play cool, anyway, regardless of the motive, Roy finally settled down after seeing this scene.
Zhou Ai didn't see the deformed monster. But she could sense the malice surging in the corridor, and just as she was about to ask Tang Fang what to do next, Captain Tang frowned, suddenly moved, threw down a sentence of "You don't want to come over", and rushed into the smoke and dust, joining the melee between the fanatics and the deformed monsters.
In the next second, the three of them saw a high-frequency sword with a huge arc of electricity cut through the blood-red mist and cut a deformed monster that fell from the reverse side of the corridor into two.
Zhou Ai hurriedly pulled the two of them and continued to retreat. Because the rapidly spreading blood-colored fog gave her a strong sense of crisis, just like the feeling she had had when "Adiya" had encountered the virus-causing cloud created by the bursting of parasites.
The veteran remembered one thing on the way back, when he was in Lector at the beginning, he encountered the kind of monster that could devour organic tissues in Faraday's room, and everyone could not do anything, and only Tang Fang personally went into battle to eliminate it.
Today, he actually played hand-to-hand combat again, does that mean that the deformed monsters above are all phagoagosome polymers?
Dozens of phagosome polymers...... He shivered and sweated for Tang Fang.
Just like the veteran thought. These freaks are indeed made up of phagosomes, which not only possess the polymers of phagosomes that used to consume organic tissues. The terrifying ability to absorb energy matter, as well as some of the characteristics of the corpse beasts encountered by "Adiya", such as the cloud of virus-causing spitting spew.
Tang Fang didn't know what happened to the scientific research park of "Rourzan" and who released the phagosomal polymer, but in the face of the current situation, whether to leave. Or continue to investigate, he must kill all the henchworms in front of him.
The ruins of Epsilon on the planet Dismakda have undergone the baptism of dark matter fluids, and the stock of high-energy electrons in his body has returned to the level when he left Na'vi, and the high-frequency sword is blessed with high-energy electron flows, and the zealots cooperate. These deformed creatures retreated, leaving behind one charred corpse after another, which turned to dust when the wind blew.
As their numbers dwindled, the freaks began to retreat in an orderly manner towards the -19th floor entrance.
He stuck the last deformed monster in the wall of the corridor, looked at the 3 people of Zhou Ai in the dark corridor on the 20th floor, and decided to give up the pursuit, fearing that if he was separated from them, he would fall into the deformed monster's trick to divert the tiger.
Based on previous combat experience with phagosome polymers, the intelligence of this kind of thing will slowly grow with the battle, and the body will also evolve by intercepting the genes of species contained in the gene pool, so as to adapt to a special environment, or attribute attack.
To put it bluntly, this is a much weirder and more powerful being than the StarCraft Zerg.
StarCraft's Zerg evolution is reflected in the adaptation and development process of the entire race, while the phagosome polymer is more like a gluttonous creature that only seeks to be self-powerful, and its existence is only to devour all the organic life forms that can be reached around it.
He didn't know what level of intelligence these deformed monsters in front of him had evolved, but judging from the previous sneak attack on the elevator and the behavior of knowing how to temporarily avoid the edge in front of him, he should already have a certain amount of intelligence.
In such an environment, the best way to deal with this is to get four people together.
Hiss......
The deformed monster nailed to the wall by the high-frequency sword twisted its body vigorously, and even though a large piece of necrotic tissue formed in its chest under the impact of the arc, it still could not completely destroy it.
Tang Fang was awakened by its roar, raised his right hand, and the vigorous high-energy electrons formed jagged wave marks on the back of his fist, and then smashed down with extreme speed, smashing the head above it with a bang.
At this moment, the interface of the interstellar system in my mind darkened, and a row of characters flashed.
“system,restart…… ok!”
“init……”
“prepare,dates……”
“update…… 20%…… 40%…… 95%……”
“release.”
“run,now!”
“……”
He slashed down with the high-frequency sword, splitting the deformant in two while pulling a long mark on the wall, then turned his attention to the Zerg base, first selecting a worker bee, pressing the hotkey, and finally discovering a new building in the advanced building menu bar, the Scorpion Lair.
Sure enough, it's a scorpion!
The predecessor of StarCraft 2 Flying Snake, one of StarCraft 1 Zerg's most memorable mass killers, the Polluter (commonly known as the Scorpion).
Polluters are also very rare to encounter among the Zerg, which is a real blessing. It looks a bit like a scorpion, but it's the creator of those deadly diseases. They can produce large amounts of virus-like biochemicals that no strong antidote can fight against. Polluters can even eat other Zerg and use these same species as raw materials to produce these toxins, which are usually protected by puppies. This near-self-destructive behavior fully embodies the single way of thinking of the Zerg.
Polluters derive their power from the combined energy of organic matter they produce. Armed with this power, the Polluter can release deadly toxins like the Plague and the Black Bee, which can easily wipe out those unfortunate enemy forces. In addition, the Polluter can also evolve to gain the ability to "destroy", which can destroy Zerg troops of the same kind. Once this ability is used, the scorpion's energy can be partially restored, and then they can continue to use other abilities without wasting time waiting for their energy to refill. (To be continued......)
