Chapter 227: The Imitator
Asker's cheek was covered with blood, beads of blood rolling down his skin, and Asker was terrified, leaving a deep hole in the wall behind him, probably the size of his fist, and if that blow had been hit, his head would have exploded like a watermelon by now.
Experienced the test of the battlefield all year round, Asker is not just a mouthful, he reacted very quickly and bent down, just that moment of crookedness, it proves that the other party does not have an efficient aiming method, so the next thing is ......
Sure enough, a series of bullets shot out, these bullets are all fine crystal particles, the material is extremely hard, and the crystal mud is shot out at high speed, which is very powerful, but Aske has long expected it, the bullets are passing above him one after another, he tries to keep his center as low as possible, and quickly walks outside while avoiding the opponent's shots, fighting in such a narrow place is not good for him, and the best way at this time is to find rescuers.
"Hopefully there's only one thing...... Otherwise, it's bad. Asker got up after moving to a safe distance, and ran towards the entrance to the oxygen chamber, where a number of people remained.
But as soon as he got closer, Aske saw the scene he didn't want to see, there were more corpses lying on the ground, there were only two at first, but now they have become five, he brought over the four people, and now three have died and one is gone, it is estimated that his fate will not be much better than Carl. Asker cautiously approached the entrance, but as soon as his footsteps approached, a shade of blue appeared in one of the corpses, exactly like what he had just seen, a cloud of blue crystalline ooze that was wriggling and emerging from the corpse.
This time there was no other cover next to him, and Aske had to take a step to escape before it could react, but as he ran to the door, he felt a sharp pain in his leg, and looked down to find that his left foot was only half of his ankle, and the wound was dripping with blood, and the nerves didn't even have time to feel pain, and his heart didn't realize that his body was damaged, and he was still frantically pumping blood to his non-existent foot.
"Damn it!" The old man screamed and fell to the ground, he used his last strength to clench the gun in his hand, pointing at the blue soft mud, but the next moment, he only felt a weight in his hand, and the gun in his hand suddenly turned into a pile of broken parts.
It's too fast. This was Asker's only idea, and the reaction speed of these crystals was simply not comparable to that of humans.
There is no doubt that these things were infiltrated the moment the crystal chain tied up the Barracuda, and in terms of their physical strength and strength, cutting through the hull is just a piece of cake, and these crystal mud can easily enter even the human body, let alone enter the spaceship through small gaps, they are softer than water, and they are pervasive, thinking water? It's chilling to think about.
Distress? Run away? Revolt? Countless thoughts flashed through Asker's mind, but none of them were feasible, the blue crystal stared at him, no matter how subtle Asker's movements were, it would move with him, as long as Asker acted, his life would be absolutely lost.
There were three of those crystalline mud-like things, one of which Asker had seen in the ventilation pipe before, and the other that killed and injured it later, and the last one had been hiding in the corpse, and it slowly came out when Asker lost his ability to move, and part of his body turned into long tentacles, and he didn't know what to grope in the corpse.
Soon, Asker knew what they were touching, they were learning, or rather imitating.
One of the clumps of crystal mud came to Asker, its body changed rapidly, first from a ball of soft mud expanded into a sphere, and then the sphere began to slowly turn into the outline of a person, the crystal is blue translucent, and the transparency is higher after expansion, Asque can easily see what is behind it, he doesn't know what the crystal mud wants to do, but his body is unable to move due to blood loss and panic, so he can only let the other party slaughter.
But the crystal mud neither slaughtered nor cut him, but just approached it step by step, it gradually became opaque, and all kinds of chaotic colors began to appear in its big belly, and those things were lumpy, all of them were rounded, and soon filled its interior, and Asker could see that it was an enlarged and distorted version of human internal organs.
"What the hell are you......" Aske looked at the crystal clay that came to him in surprise.
After the internal organ structure is completed, a large number of blue lines begin to appear in its body, extending from the strangely shaped heart, and finally spreading to the whole body, needless to say that it is its "blood vessels", but it is the blue "blood" flowing inside, and then the muscles, bones, skin, everything is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, when it steps in front of Asker, it has become a bald and fat figure, its skin is blue, and you can see the abnormal places at a glance, But it is fully equipped with everything that a human should have, and in this regard, he is no different from a human being.
"The host...... Gollum ~ Energy ......" The fat man made of crystalline mud screamed, stretched out his hand and grabbed Asker's neck, its strength was amazing, Asker's spine crackled and wailed, and he suffocated almost instantly.
These things not only adapt, but also analyze and learn, they came in and killed a couple of humans, they knew the anatomy of human bodies, they knew that humans needed to breathe oxygen, so they destroyed the oxygen system first, and they also knew that choking the neck can suffocate people......
Asker struggled, but his hands and feet gradually lost his strength, and the fat man turned into crystallized mud became more and more excited, shaking Asker like showing off his trophy, just at this time, an object in his pocket fell out and smashed on the ground beneath his feet.
The switch of the small device happened to be turned on, and the old structures collided with each other, like countless times before running, a radio signal was released after a run, which was just a normal signal, without any lethality and destructive power, but at this moment, Asker's neck was released, and he also fell heavily on the floor, the crystalline mud trembled rapidly, and the one who had mimicked a human fat man could no longer maintain it, it spread out its form, and its whole body was shaking at high speed, The three clumps of crystal mud were frozen in place, unable to move.
"This is, the ...... left by Sun Tan" Asker picked up the old launcher, Sun Tan gave it to him before leaving, he said that this thing was left by his grandfather, two centuries old, and now it is useless, it can only be used as a lucky charm.
