Chapter 0023: The Problem of the Host
As the sun sets, the shady forest begins to darken.
"Boom......"
Running quickly through the forest, the sea of clouds and thirty aliens were not far behind the porcupine.
Apparently sensing the abnormality in his body, the porcupine began to run like crazy, with a fierce momentum and rampage.
Towering in the grass, the stone forest, the thick trees, when the porcupine's chest began to rise and fall slightly, it was completely berserk.
The strong hind limbs propped up the huge body, and the porcupine slammed its chest into a rock like crazy.
Looking at this scene from afar, Yun Hai couldn't help but feel a little worried.
However, seeing that a large number of aliens behind him were standing calmly in place, and had no intention of going up to stop the porcupine, he was slightly certain.
"Bang ......"
The fangs couldn't reach the chest, and the thick limbs couldn't be touched, so the arrow hunter could only destroy the monster he had bred by ramming, and he rushed madly for half of the day......
"Poof!"
The sound of flesh shattering sounded, and the porcupine, who had just retreated a few steps and wanted to continue to charge, raised his head and let out a terrible howl.
A large hole was opened in its chest, and blood gushed out like a spring.
The huge body "plopped" and fell crookedly, and the body of the porcupine trembled slightly, and soon lost the breath of life.
In the cave, more often than not, he observes things with the unique sense of aliens, and at this time, after witnessing this bloody scene, Yunhai did not feel cruel.
This is a post-apocalyptic world where insects can eat people, vines like to drink blood and eat flesh, and the sea of clouds that is in the company of aliens is destined to embark on a road paved with blood and minced meat.
"Just keep your heart and that's enough!"
Stopping to sigh, Yunhai began to wait patiently for the alien hatchlings to eat.
Growing from embryonic hatchlings, the aliens have accumulated enough energy in their bodies that even if they don't eat anything after birth, they can still grow quickly, molt, and complete their first evolution in a day.
Of course, if you eat more to replenish energy in the process, this rate will be faster.
"Kiln ......"
More insects in the grass were attracted by the smell of blood, and crawled over in large numbers, and in the unique alien sense, the ground and the ground were full of dense white points of light, for fear of any accidents, the sea of clouds gave a spiritual order to the alien larvae that were still eating.
Quickly crawling out of the porcupine's body, covered in blood and fragments of the host's internal organs, the porcupine alien juvenile body is much larger than the normal alien larvae.
The body shape characteristics are still obvious, and the alien hatchling only completes its first molting evolution within a day, and when it enters the growth stage, it will reveal a unique body created by absorbing the host's genes.
The coccyx swayed slightly, and the alien hatchling quickly climbed onto the back of the bobcat alien, its short limbs and feet tightly clasped into the gap between the bone plates.
A dozen messengers received the spiritual command and swarmed up, their tail tips cutting and claws tearing apart, quickly disintegrating the porcupine carcass that was already crawling with insects.
"Go back!"
There was no particularly terrifying giant mutant insect appearing, which made Yunhai slightly surprised, and the spiritual order was given, and all the aliens followed him, quickly marching towards the top of the mountain.
On the way back, Yunhai has been exploring the surrounding environment and making changes.
Except for a few insects that have little or no mutation that still move in the mountains, there are few larger and more terrifying insects.
As for the strange insects that appeared that day, Yunhai couldn't figure out whether they were the result of the mutation of some kind of insect on the earth, or if they were alien creatures that landed on the earth like the aliens.
At least after that day, there was no trace of strange insects near Yangshan.
Soon arrived at the top of the mountain, touched the porcupine spikes that the alien had collected and tied up with grass stalks on his back, Yunhai stopped his steps and looked at the barbecue restaurant opened by a few bastards from a distance.
Perhaps because the survivors in the hotel had been eaten up, the knotted vines no longer tended to extend to the top of the hill, and the houses to the south of the hotel seemed safe.
After a moment's hesitation, Yunhai asked the other xenomorphs to return to the cave with the messenger aliens with arrowfish pieces in front of them, and the lynx xenomorphs and the five messengers stayed outside.
Looking at the small restaurant that had been completely overwhelmed by vines, he himself ran into the Four Eyes barbecue restaurant with two messengers.
The door of the store was wide open, and there was a black hole inside, and after Yunhai ran in, he ran directly to the four-eyed bedroom.
The air is full of the smell of corruption, the tables and chairs are scattered everywhere, and the shop that was luxuriously decorated a few days ago now looks like a haunted house in the mountains, a gloomy forest.
Unknown small insects are alarmed by the sea of clouds and messenger aliens, and crawl around. With one kick, the locked door was kicked open, and Yun Hai ran in to take a few looks, bent down to look under the bed, and then pulled out a narrow suitcase.
Press the hidden button to open the box, looking at the strong crossbow and a crossbow arrow that was disassembled inside, a smile appeared at the corner of Yun Hai's mouth, and then closed the box and left the room.
Walking into the lobby, more messengers who had received his spiritual orders ran in, jumped into the front desk, and swept away the bundles of beer, drinks, and mineral water that had been placed inside.
The small warehouse in the back did not let go of Yunhai, and several bags of charcoal, including a box of apples that had not yet spoiled, bags of salt and some condiments, were all carried by the messenger.
Fortunately, there were a lot of aliens, and after making sure that they could not find anything useful, the group of sweepers left in a majestic manner and burrowed into the dark cave.
Four Eyes has a steel crossbow, Yun Hai has long known it, in fact, more than once, he saw Four Eyes secretly hunting in the back mountain.
When I was a child, I played with my father's **, and later it was also confiscated, and I haven't played the high-end goods like a crossbow gun, and today's porcupine spike shooting attack reminded him of this fork, and naturally he couldn't let it go.
The group walked towards the cave, the sky was already dark, and the moment the sea of clouds stepped into the cave, he suddenly felt abnormal, stopped his steps and looked back.
In the mountains in the distance, a faint light faintly appeared, and when a moment later, the blood-red remnant sun fell behind the mountain, and when the heaven and earth suddenly dimmed, hundreds of millions of points of light appeared in front of the sea of clouds.
Red, blue, purple......
Colorful points of light are displayed in the night sky, and from a distance, the big ones are like the sun and the bright moon, and the small ones are as straight as the stars and light spots.
Some of these light clusters and points of light were even diffused with ribbon-like light from the unique perspective of the alien, and they were everywhere in the huge sky.
The naked eye can only see the colorful light clusters, light spots, those blurred ribbon rays, floating above the earth, under the sky, dreamlike scenes, so that I have always liked to be close to the natural sea of clouds, I am fascinated to watch.
It's not just plants that glow.
Standing on the top of the mountain, the sea of clouds can see farther, I don't know how many kilometers away, the sky or the ground, those moving points of light, obviously glowing mutated insects, animals, birds.
"Are the living creatures that emit light, and those that are free in space are some unknown radiation similar to magnetic fields and electromagnetic waves emitted by plants?"
It took a long time to retract his gaze from the unusually beautiful night sky, and the sea of clouds plucked a flower in front of him that emitted a faint white light.
As soon as the stem snapped, the white light disappeared.
"Life is all the same fragile."
Throwing the flowers on the ground, Yunhai gathered his mind, turned around and ran into the cave with the alien.
The distance was already clear, and the speed was extremely fast, and it didn't take long for the sea of clouds to return to the cave where the queen lived.
The five crocodile lizards had already been parasitized by the face-hugging insects, and this time there was no need to trap them with fungus blankets, and several remaining messengers pierced the tips of their tails into the head and tail of the host, and directly pinned them to the ground.
There are also fifteen chaotic hosts, including mutated bamboo rats, mutated slow loris, and mutated rabbits, all of which are about the same size, and the largest mutant rabbit is like a calf.
These are mutated small animals, not even beasts, they are the results of the battle of the Lynx Xenomorph with the messenger Xenomorph when the sea of clouds stayed behind to guard the porcupine.
All of them have been parasitized, and there is still a piece of alien egg waiting to be parasitized on the fungus carpet where the Alien Queen's ovipositor is aligned.
"The host is always a problem, and there are still too few animals in the back mountains......"
The birth of the porcupine alien brought the joy of the sea of clouds to the sea of clouds, which was instantly diluted.
The queen will lay forty-eight alien eggs tomorrow, and in half a day today, she only found about twenty hosts, and Yunhai felt a little headache when she thought about it.
"Start a comprehensive exploration of all the places in the cave, and tomorrow we will start trying to march towards the eighteen peaks behind Yang Mountain."
"It's just that I don't know if the deep mountains are dangerous, the messenger alien is still too weak, and if you encounter a giant mutant beast, I'm afraid you may not be able to get a bargain."
The more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, but Yunhai still gave an order to the twenty messengers who had parasitized the giant rat and squirrel.
Tireless is nothing, and there is no need to rest, the energy intake of aliens is very high, and the consumption is very small, and the energy accumulated in their bodies is enough for them to fight and attack continuously for a long time, without eating anything.
The sea of clouds, which is fused with the alien master, is not as perverted as the alien, but he has tried not to eat or drink in the past few days, and he has not even noticed it.
Receiving the spiritual command, the twenty messengers either climbed up the hole in the cave wall or rushed towards the vast passages in the darkness, and soon disappeared.
In fact, Yun Hai still controlled the hunting range of these aliens under the spiritual order, and was only limited to Yangshan Mountain and the peaks to the south.
The rolling eighteen peaks behind Yangshan Mountain, and the tropical rainforest in the depths, are absolutely forbidden places in his spiritual command.
The number of aliens is still too small, and on the second day of the virus outbreak, the earth-shattering beast roar heard in the deep mountains, Yunhai doesn't want the small number of messengers to take risks.
At least not yet.
Otherwise, with the ability of aliens, Yunhai believes that there is no terrain or terrain that can stop their footsteps, and he even believes that if they have wings, with their metamorphosis adaptability and evolution ability, will they always fly out of the atmosphere and soar over the cosmic galaxy.
