"I'll go, how so." Kate also walked over, and when she saw the huge hole in the corpse's chest, her face turned not very good.

Lin Ci turned around: "What do you think?" ”

"It's like being attacked by a monster." Kate said truthfully.

"I think it's like, at least at sea, I haven't heard of any creature that can eat humans like this."

Kate whispered, "You said it would be a new species, this is at sea, it is possible that it will run into the Ripper or something." And this way of eating doesn't look like it's done by rippers and brain eaters. ”

"It's possible that it's a new variant." Lin Ci stood up with the box: "Anyway, let's talk about leaving here." ”

The two jumped down the doorway and returned to the passageway. As soon as he landed, Lin Ci suddenly felt a burst of restlessness, which was the reaction of the blood devouring when it touched the monster.

He immediately made a gesture to Kate to be careful, and then raised his flashlight and swept it around, finally stopping at the corner of the passage. There, on the ground that would have been on the left wall, a starfish was sticking to it.

It's just that this starfish is the size of a tabletop, and its whole body is black, as if it has been immersed in oil. Under the light, the surface of the starfish can be seen sticky, what seems to be some kind of mucus, and its few ankles squirm from time to time. moving, apparently a living thing.

Kate's mouth was wide open, he had never seen a starfish like this since he was so big.

Suddenly, as if stimulated by the light, half of the starfish's body came off the wall. Next, the inside of the body was recorded under the light. I saw that the same black body surface turned out large and small eyeballs, with a mouthpiece open in the center, surrounded by a dense circle of nest teeth.

A tongue/head is spit out from the mouthparts, knotty, with mucus attached to the surface. The front end was cracked, and it turned out to be a mouth with fangs.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a normal creature.

Then the giant starfish body was attached back again, the middle part arched, and the five feet moved in turn, and quickly crawled towards Lin and the two from the wall.

"Hell, it's coming!" Kate shouted, and the red fluorescent light in her hand flew into a dagger-like blade.

Lin Ci was calmer, and raised the blood devouring towards the starfish, the five claws opened, and the bloody palm opened a mouthpiece, and then spat out a blood-colored beam, and the blood light shot at the starfish's body like a gun, knocking it away and nailing it into the hull wall around the corner.

Blood King Gun!

Replaced by a Brain Eater or a Ripper, he was hit by Lin Xi's Blood King Spear and died instantly. But this time, Lin Ci fired out two more Blood King Spears, which were staggered and nailed to the starfish's body.

The giant starfish was not dead, its boneless body was squirming desperately, and it broke free from the Blood King's spear, and the cartilaginous creature slid to the ground and swam quickly.

When he came to the vicinity of Lin Ci, his body stretched out violently, and the starfish flew over. In the light of the flashlight, the mouthparts at the bottom of the starfish could be seen wide open, and the predatory organ shot towards Lin Xi.

Then, between it and Lin Xi, there was a red line like a network.

First the starfish's predator, then its body, and finally its five brachiopods and legs crashed into a web of scarlet glitter, and the giant starfish finally broke apart and became a mass of flesh.

It's just that its vitality is extremely tenacious, even if it turns into large and small pieces of flesh, it doesn't die immediately, it squirms for a moment before stopping, and then it decomposes into black fluorescent light and flies up, and is finally devoured by blood.

Lin Ci's face was solemn, since the blood devouring had preyed on it, it meant that this giant starfish was also a kind of monster, and it was obviously a new variant.

If Lin Xi is in the water at this moment, he will find that the bottom of the ship is covered with this giant starfish, and a big hole has been broken in the bottom of the ship, and from time to time starfish will come out of this hole.

The starfish that emerged from the ship shrunk into balls, and beneath their bodies was the corpse of a crew member. When they have eaten part of the carcass, they stretch and the carcass floats down, at which point other starfish swim over to enjoy the meal.

In the cabin, Lin Xi pushed Kate, and the latter came back to his senses.

"Let's go, we've got to leave." Lin Ci said, fortunately, he encountered such a sea variant in the ship. If it's in the water, it's a big problem. Now the ship is sinking, and God knows if there is a similar variant on board, so it's better to leave.

They met Wellington at the exit, but the two of them didn't run into the starfish variant. Hearing what happened to Lin Ci and the two, even Wellington's face was not so good-looking. Giants may be invincible on earth, but in the water, it's hard to say.

The four of them return to the dinghy, Kate cuts the clue with a dagger, and they paddle the kayak to the Sally. In the middle of the journey, suddenly the steamer behind him roared loudly, and a huge wave erupted on the sea, and a large area of fire flickered in the sea, thinking that the engine of the ship had exploded.

Lin Xi and the others were on the boat, if they were still on the boat at the moment, they would look down condescendingly, and they would find that under their rubber boat, a shadow could be faintly seen by the light of the fire in the water.

The shadow was like a starfish.

Back on the Sari, everyone put the rubber boat into the yacht warehouse, and Lin Ci came to the restaurant with the suitcase. The people on the ship came to the restaurant one after another to ask about their experience on the ship, and Lin Xi told Alice to drive the ship away first, so as not to provoke the sea mutants.

When the ship drove some distance, and the still sinking Penguin had turned into a small black spot in the distance, Lin Ci also finished telling his experience on the ship.

Hearing that a new variant had appeared at sea, everyone's face was terrible. Alice sat down, shook her head, and said, "If there are new monsters even on the sea, then our journey will probably not be so smooth." ”

"There's no need to worry too much, after all, the sea is so big, it is impossible to have new types of haunts everywhere. You see the same on land, monsters don't occupy any corners, as long as we are careful, it shouldn't be a big problem. Lin Ci said, but he also knew that this was just comfort. In fact, judging from the new evolutionary instincts, once a new variant appears at sea, it will not be long before the ocean becomes a dangerous place.

Now, they can only take one step at a time.

"This box is something that Joorford won't let go, do you want to open it and take a look." Lin Ci patted the suitcase.

This suitcase is not large, but it is finely worked, and you can see that the details everywhere are well done, and it belongs to the first-class boutique goods. Wellington took it and knocked on the box, the sound of the box was very dull, judging from the sound, there should be a compartment under the skin of the box.

Wellington pushed the box back into the middle of the table and said, "This thing isn't just that, it's bulletproof." If there is no accident, its shell material is also the kind that can be waterproof and fireproof, and it is obviously a high-specification portable safe. ”

"What has to be in a box like this?" Lin Ci looked at the combination lock on the box and said, "Can you open it violently?" ”

"It's better not to do that." Wellington shook his head and said, "But any type of safe of this type, once you press the wrong password or open it violently, there will usually be a bomb inside. Either blow up the guy who opened the box into a pulp, or destroy the contents of the corpse. ”

"So I came back with something completely useless." Lin Ci had no choice but to spread his hands.

Wellington leaned forward slightly, his gaze falling on the box: "It looks like it should be some confidential stuff inside, that Mr. Captain will protect this box tightly when he dies, so when Dieppe goes ashore, we will see if we can transfer it to the people of the alliance for him." ”

Lin Xi sighed: "It can only be like this." ”

Wellington nodded and said, "It seems that in the future world, no place will be absolutely safe." ”

"Now you can only find one step at a time. Hopefully, the surviving scientists will find a way to kill new types of xenomorphs and monsters......"

One by one, the lights on the Sally disappeared, and in the same warehouse where the dinghy was kept, a mutant starfish crawled out, crawling around, as if looking for an exit. After a fruitless search, it gave up this futile action, retreated into the corner of the warehouse, hid behind a row of tool shelves, and then began to secrete water, and the starfish's body actually shrunk by half, which made it even more imperceptible.

A few days later, a steamer and several speedboats came to the surface of the sunken Penguin. On the deck of that steamer, stood a tall woman.

An Kexin wore sunglasses, and she rested her hands on the railing at the edge of the deck.

"Are you sure it's here?" An Kexin's voice is neutral, and coupled with her appearance, it gives people a sense of heroism.

An old man next to him bowed and said, "Yes, miss." We installed a tracker on the Penguin, and the signal was right above the water. ”

An Kexin turned around, spread his hands, and said, "Then tell me, Mr. Wick, what about the ship?" Don't tell me, it's sinking? ”

"It's not impossible, as we intercepted a radio wave from the Penguin, and when we analyzed it, we learned that something bad seemed to have happened to Captain Joeford." Wick said.

"That's not going to work, Joford has an important clue to that place, and we have to get it before humans know about it." An Kexin exhaled and said, "Send divers down to take a look, and if the Penguin is really here, then call the salvage team over." ”

"Miss, we don't have to be so complicated with the whole ship, if Jodeford's stuff is on the boat, let the divers pick it up."

"Okay, then ask them to find every inch of the boat for me."

"Yes, miss."

It wasn't long before frogmen jumped out from under the ship and speedboat, and they dived into the sea, some of them carrying underwater shooting tools, and transmitted what they saw to the ship in real time.

A parasol had been propped up on the deck of the steamer, and a finely crafted table was placed next to a white carved chair.

An Kexin sat in a chair, and the subordinates next to her poured red liquid into her goblet, which was certainly not red wine.

In front of the woman, a row of screens has been set up. From the screen, you can see the situation under the sea, and sure enough, on the seabed, a tilted ship lies quietly there.

At the bottom of the ship's, there were also several giant starfish glued. Seeing them, An Kexin showed a disgusted expression: "It seems that these guys have sabotaged the ship, damn the cavity breakers, ruined my good deeds!" ”

"Kill them!"

Immediately, some of the frogmen's limbs mutated, and one of them had an extra killing blade in his hand, and then they slew at the mutated starfish. After a fight, An Kexin lost a few of his men, but the giant starfish was sliced to pieces.

Next, it's time to enter the ship.

A speedboat is riding the waves.

On the speedboat, there stood a figure like a leather ball, this fat fat man wore all kinds of gemstone rings on his ten fingers, and his shaved head was water-stained, making him look even more oily.

Wearing a gold necklace as thick as a tail finger around his neck, the fat man with an upstart air shouted, "Hurry up, Montrigo, I can't help but want to see her now." ”

"It's already our fastest speed."

"What, this is already the fastest speed? What a broken ship this is! ”

"You bought this wrecked boat yourself."

"There's such a thing, it's yours when you go back!"

Moments later, the speedboat came to the ship where An Kexin was. On the deck of the ship, An Kexin held a goblet in her hand, leaned back in her chair, and was looking at the row of screens in front of her. The screen showed that the divers had entered the Penguin and were swimming to the first cabin.

At this time, he whispered a few words next to her. An Kexin frowned and said, "Let him come up." ”

"If you don't want to see him, I'll send him away, miss."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Juvent is an important partner for us. It's also right to meet your partner, let him come up. ”

Not long after Wick left, the fat man had already stepped onto the deck and rolled like a ball next to An Kexin.

An Kexin said with disgust: "Juvent, you really can't get rid of it, next I want to renovate Rotterdam, I urgently need a group of people, I think Mr. Juvent will definitely be able to help." ”

"Of course you can, as much as you need. A hundred? Or five hundred? ”

"At least a thousand people are needed, and the more the merrier."

Juvent paused for a moment, then said, "No problem, I can get you two thousand." It seems that this time it is a big plan, I don't know ......"

"Don't worry, your benefits are indispensable. The new paradise in Rotterdam will give you a place where you can live a paradise life. ”

The fat man's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Then I'll go and prepare it for you now." ”

"I'm sorry for you."

After the fat man left, the warm smile on An Kexin's face disappeared on the spot, and he returned to his previous indifference.

By 4 p.m., divers began to emerge, but they found nothing. Hearing the news, An Kexin's expression was gloomy, and the last diver got on board. He brought an underwater camera with him, and pulled up some photos from the camera and put them in front of An Kexin's eyes.

"What are these?"

"Traces of a fight, miss. It was clear that there had been a battle here, and judging by the traces left at the scene, it must have been a battle between the new and the outsiders. The diver pointed to one of the photographs, which showed the exterior wall of the captain's quarters, which was clearly dented and outlined as a giant starfish.
