Chapter IX: Executions

"Uncle Shi Quan! What are you going to do······" Zhong Yi rushed towards Shi Quan in a panic.

A bullet dragged a long line of fire, shattering Zhong Yi's skull, and the huge kinetic energy overturned him. A barrage of gunfire ensued, the firing squad opened fire at the same time, and the invitation of death was delivered through the tent to all crew members with precision, scarlet blood adorning the slaughterhouse.

This execution, which only happened for a split second, should be regarded as a merciful end.

"I'm sorry, old friend."

Shi Quan's face splashed with Zhong Cheng's blood, he took off his coat and put it on Zhong Cheng's cracked head, and he looked at Zhong Yi on his right, who was lying on the ground on his side, pressing the corner of the tent outward, and his voice was powerless: "Execution confirmed." ”

He took a short breath, and the rich smell of blood hit the olfactory receptors of Shi Quan.

Once upon a time, Shi Quan was also an excellent executioner, and his hands were also stained with blood, some from the devil and some from humans. The bath in blood and tears did not make him a more lethal weapon, and he was tired of seeing death.

After a brief moment of silence, Shi Quan strode to the door curtain with feigned composure, leaving more than 20 years of friendship in the scarlet tent.

Just as he was about to reach the exit, he heard the sound of bones breaking behind him. Then the terrifying sound came from all directions inside the tent, like a chaotic symphony.

Shi Quan turned his head suddenly, and was shocked to see Zhong Cheng, who was lying on the marching bed before, standing in front of him. His bullet-shattered skull, wrapped in black flesh that squeezed and twisted his skull. The mutilated crew members were also standing up in a twisted posture.

"Ahh

Shi Quan burst through the curtain and escaped from the tent, and one stumbled to his knees in front of Pete.

"The seniority is not quite right, Lao Shi?" Pete picked up the frightened Quan Quan, who gasped for breath and pointed to the tent with his hand shaking like a sieve.

"I didn't hit you, I didn't hit you, I'm not afraid." Pete gently patted Shi Quan's back, like a kind mother coaxing her wronged baby.

Before the words fell, the marching tent in front of him, which could withstand a strong wind of level 8, collapsed from the inside out, and a large black meat ball with a diameter of two meters tumbled out from inside. The meat ball is wrapped by layers of interlaced long muscles, like a giant python wrapped in the deep pit at the end of the movie "Python Disaster 2".

"Holy! Don't be a man anymore! Pete kicked Shi Quan 3 meters away, rolled out to the other side at the same time, dodged the oncoming meat ball, quickly turned around, pulled out Glock17 and shot it continuously, "Free fire!" ”

The black ball of flesh rushed into the encirclement of the firing squad, and was beaten to the ground in the dense gunfire, while constantly repairing the wounds at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Pass the ball!” Pete adjusted his tactics.

The firing team members on the path of the meat ball rushed to dodge, and the other team members covered the fire at the right angle. Although it is uncertain whether these attacks will be able to deal effective damage to this monster, they can slow down its movement a little and give the evading team plenty of time.

The prey on the original route ran away, and the black meat ball rolled towards the firing team members who were close to it, so the team members who ran away immediately turned around and shot. This repetition, with the delicate cooperation of the firing team, the black meat ball became a football that was passed around on the field.

"Be kind to the elderly." Shi Kwon got up from the ground and rubbed his chest, unsure if Pete had kicked his ribs.

As the ball circled around the jungle and saw that it was about to reach the tent where the rest of the cleaning team was housed, Pete shouted, "Get out of here!" Hurry up! ”

Pete's voice was heard, and a group of green uniforms poured out of the tent. When they saw the oncoming monsters, they were so frightened that they crawled and retreated, and some of them tripped in a panic. The meat balls that rolled at high speed took advantage of a half-slope and rose up and fell directly to the group of cleaning team members.

A female team member who fell down was so frightened by the ball of meat that she occupied her entire field of vision that she forgot how to get up. She saw the python-like worms twisting and wriggling, sometimes merging into one, sometimes differentiating into separate long worms. In less than a second, she would be hit by the mimetic moth, but time seemed to slow down.

It has been said that when people are dying, they feel that time around them has slowed down. This is because the brain is working faster so that it can look back on this tragic life.

"Would you like to put up your makeup!?" Pete howled, his outstretched hands erupting, and the inscription burning his arms.

Inscription Sequence, Scroll of Wa, Luo Qing.

This mass of mimicoids is like a thick strip of steel, always trying to break free from Luo Qing. Pete gritted his teeth and insisted, feeling like his hands were in a hot pan of oil. Although with the help of Fang Yeyou, he understood Luo Qing's inscription and was recognized by the inscription. However, his bloodline is far inferior to Shangye You, and Luo Qing is on the verge of collapse at any time.

The janitorial team members turned around and dragged the female team member and ran behind Pete. The firing team quickly assembled, forming a blockade between Pete and the Paramorph.

Pete's crooked fingers straightened at the same time, and the ball of flesh catapulted out of mid-air as if it had received a heavy blow, collapsing the marching tent at the end, and the ground trembled.

Pete braced his knees and half-crouched, sweat sliding down his arm, instantly sublimating when he came into contact with the inscription that emitted light and heat. The ball quickly reoriented itself and rolled towards them.

"Grenade salvo!" Pete ordered.

The firing officers quickly filled the M16-mounted grenade launchers, and bam! Bang! Bang! Fifteen small grenades hit the ball at the same time. Pete took a deep breath and slowly pushed his hands forward, opening his robe in front of the firing team to deal with the shock wave from the grenade explosion.

The violent explosion pushed the blazing air wave to hit Luo Qing, and Pete's hands were shaken to the core. Luo Qing's inscription gradually faded, leaving a red mark on his arm.

Just when Pete thought it was over, 10 figures rushed out of the smoke and flew over the heads of the firing team members and Pete, it was Zhong Cheng, Zhong Yi, Zhou Daiwen and the 7 crew members! The damned creature actually split a moment before the grenade exploded, and with the help of the recoil of the explosion, it jumped over the blockade line.

Ten simulated insects dressed in human skin fell straight into the team of cleaning team members who had just escaped, and they were connected by long strips of black flesh to form a network.

Among them, 7 of the mimetic insects, because of their relative proximity to the center of the explosion, almost all of their bodies were blown up, and they fell straight to the ground and died at the same time as they landed, and the black bodies connected to them were disconnected. The remaining 3 mimetic insects are "Zhong Cheng", "Zhong Yi", and "Zhou Daiwen", and they hugged the cleaning team members who couldn't dodge, and began to merge the moment they touched each other's skin.

"Don't shoot! Help me! The three janitorial team members kept crying, and their cells were quickly dissolved and assimilated by the paratomimetic, and their skin was connected to the skin, making them look like conjoined people. Creatures are unscrupulously exposed to gunpoint, knowing that the firing team has no way to shoot a living person who has the will to live.

"The Creatures have already completed their initial assimilation with the crew's brains, so they only have one brain now!" Authority shouted beside Pete.

Although Shi Quan's words were clueless, Pete understood it instantly. Yes, most of these crew members were shot in the head during the execution just now. The reason why these three mimetics are now connected together is that they may have at least one brain, so they need to build a neural network to coordinate the movement of all their bodies.

"Which of you in the tent didn't aim at the head just now?" Pete turned back to the firing officers.

"I'm sorry." A young firing officer bowed his head, it was Zhou Daiwen's younger brother Zhou Daiwu.

Pete didn't continue to ask, but instead ordered: "This time all aim at the head and help them get out." ”

"Yes!"

In a round of point shooting, the bionic insects and the assimilated crew members were all shattered, and Zhou Daiwen was targeted by 5 people at the same time, and his head was directly knocked out.

However, the mimetics did not stop their activity as expected.

"Hahaha!" Zhong Cheng's neck made a sound of bones breaking, and he twisted his face directly behind his back, smiling weirdly at Pete, half of his head was carried away by bullets.

"Looks like they're smart, and since mimetics can change form, I think they've moved their brains to other parts of their bodies." Shi Quan said.

The Creature has completed its fusion with the three members of the cleaning team, each of whom has doubled in size, looking like little giants.

"There's no chance to try," Pete ordered, "don't save the bullet, hit me until it evaporates!" ”

"Yes!"

The light of the leaping fire almost turned the jungle into daylight, and the firing officers did not skimp on their magazines, the M16 had a minimum rate of fire of 750 rounds per minute, and the 30-round magazine would be empty in 2.4 seconds. The mimetic insects were forced to flee in all directions by the brass storm of nearly 200 rounds per second, and the trunks of the trees they were hiding from were instantly pierced, and the dirt slopes that they had managed to find were also overturned.

Now the situation has changed dramatically, and the balance of victory has tilted in favor of humanity. The mimetics had no choice but to merge into one, forming a thick meat shield behind their backs, resisting the onslaught of modern thermal weapons, and quickly fleeing into the depths of the jungle.

Click! In less than half a minute, all the magazines on the team members were empty! The giant-like creature dragged its mutilated body and was about to flee!

"Fuck! It's all over if you run away from it! Pete panicked.

According to the biological characteristics of the biomalyte, if it escapes, it can parasitize and transform into other people, and after gaining the memories of that person, it will blend into society. If it succeeds, it is equivalent to planting a bomb that can be replicated over and over again, and can be detonated anywhere at any time.
