Chapter 182 Expedition

"Is it an energy perpetual motion machine?" Xiao Jiu said that it is theoretically an engine that can supply energy sustainably. But until now, it has only stayed in theory. But here, it seems, what was theoretical, has become a reality.

"If that's the case, then this place is a temple of technology." Lin Ci looked around, they seemed to be in a hall. The hall is tall and large, with pillar-like things supporting the dome.

Lin Xi and the two approached a pillar and found that its material was not metal, but a translucent material similar to plexiglass.

Through the red light of the blood, a strange shadow could be faintly seen in the pillar, like some kind of creature, and the outline of a claw-like creature could be faintly seen.

Lin Ci made a gesture to leave.

The hall was quiet, and strangely enough, the two walked without making a sound at all. I don't know if it's because of the special material of the floor, it looks like it not only has gravity sensing, it emits light, but also absorbs the sound of walking.

The two of them looked around as they walked, and there were patches of mottled color everywhere. It's just that the colors of these color blocks are not bright, but it can be seen that they are not the original things of the hall, but were painted later.

I don't know what happened here.

Twenty minutes later, they found an exit. The door to the exit was only opened by a crack, and a severed hand hung from the crack in the door.

The hand was already left with bones, and on the ground, there was a ring.

Lin Ci looked at Xiao Jiu, and both of them had surprises in their eyes. Obviously, this is a human arm, after all, only humans have the habit of wearing rings.

"It seems that we were not the first visitors." Lin Xi squatted down and picked up the ring. On the back of the ring, I saw an engraved word "Sheng", as well as a set of numbers, which looked like it should be a birthday or something.

He stood up and pushed the door, but it didn't move. Lin Xi lifted the blood devouring and pressed it against the door, pushing hard. This time the door made a clattering sound, and gradually shrank into the door frame, and the severed hand stuck in the crack of the door fell to the ground.

Immediately shattered, the fragments of bone mixed with the ring.

Xiao Jiu snorted softly, and she saw a corpse behind the door. The corpse was leaning against the corner, its right hand missing, apparently the severed hand stuck in the crack in the door.

Lin Xi squatted down, the corpse was dressed in expedition clothes, carrying flashlights and pistols and other equipment. He tried, but it didn't work. There was only a skeleton left in the corpse, and judging by the bones, it was a male.

The corpse's chest was blasted open by something, the clothes on the chest were torn, and the sternum inside was shattered, which was a fatal wound.

"Look here." Xiao Jiu pointed to the right side of the corpse, clutching something tightly on the corpse's right hand.

Lin Ci took away its finger bones, but it broke when he touched it, and took out a crusty book from it. When I opened it, it turned out to be a diary.

On the title page of the diary are the words "Ye Zhen", which should be the name of this corpse.

"I'll see." Xiao Jiu shouted.

Lin Ci handed her the diary and took two more steps towards it, only to find that there were other corpses on the passage.

"Hey, don't go too far, I can't see clearly." Xiao Jiu said dissatisfied.

"Let's wait and see, look here, it's like fleeing." Lin Ci turned a corner, and everywhere the blood-devouring light went, there were corpses everywhere. From the point of view of the corpses, they should have escaped in the direction of the gate before they died.

Most of them were warriors, as evidenced by the fact that they all had guns in their hands. Although the weapons are from thirty years ago, they are fairly well equipped. Inside, there are mainly rifles, but weapons such as sniper rifles, grenades, and bazookas can also be seen.

This kind of firepower is already good, and in several of them, Lin Xi saw the skeletons of the alien. Some of them have abnormal arms, some have huge bones with thick spines, and these are actually the remains of xenomorphs.

The passage was littered with bullet casings, traces of explosions, and many neatly edged notches. These are not bullet holes, but more like marks left by being pierced by high-heat rays.

What made Lin Xi strange was that there were only human and xenomorph corpses in the passage, but there were no remains of other creatures. I don't know what this team was fighting against, but it is conceivable that the other side must have overwhelming power.

Otherwise, it will not allow a well-equipped human army, and many xenomorphs to choose to retreat.

It's a pity that they didn't succeed in the end, and even the man named Ye Zhen could only leave one arm in the crack of the door.

Ye Zhen should be the last person to die in this team, after all, he is the closest to the door. Judging from the traces by the door, the door was already open at that time, but unfortunately he still couldn't escape.

Lin Ci and Xiao Jiu looked at each other, and then the two nodded.

They carefully passed by the corpses on the ground, during which Xiao Jiu did not forget to check the weapons left behind by this army, but unfortunately except for some daggers and other cold weapons, the firearms were no longer usable.

After walking about 100 meters in the passage, the corpses and remains gradually decreased, and it can be seen that the battle was concentrated in the front section of the passage. Lin Ci simply deduced that this team was quite smooth when it was evacuated, and then the attack suddenly appeared, and the enemy had an overwhelming advantage, so forty or fifty corpses lay down in the passage that was less than thirty meters just now!

"Be careful." Lin Ci suddenly stopped, and three or four steps in front of him, a huge gap appeared in the ground.

Or, it wasn't a gap, because from this section to the limit of what the blood-devouring light could illuminate, the ground over twenty meters had completely disappeared.

Lin Ci and the two squatted down beside them, and below them was a wide platform, where some instruments that Lin Ci couldn't name were placed. Lin Ci roughly estimated that the drop was more than ten meters, which was nothing to him.

So he gestured to Xiao Jiu, and then jumped down himself.

The ground of the platform will also absorb the sound, Lin Ci jumped down like this, the muffled sound was extremely weak, but the ground was lit up with a large area of light, and the circle of light spread out, until it was seven or eight meters away before returning to darkness.

Just stood in place for a moment, and after making sure that there was no danger, Lin Ci beckoned to Xiao Jiu: "Jump down, I'll catch you." ”

Xiao Jiu said: "If you don't get it, I'll kill you!" ”

Then jump down.

Of course, he hugged Lin Ci and put Xiao Jiu down, Lin Ci muttered: "It doesn't look like a few catties, it's quite heavy, but the meat has grown to other places." ”

Xiao Jiu glared at him angrily, and the latter raised his hand in disdain.

At that moment, a light suddenly lit up in the darkness far away from the platform.

Xiao Jiu's sharp eyes saw it, and he immediately pulled Lin Ci: "Look over there." ”

Lin Ci turned to look, and there was another little light, and then the light lit up regularly, and it looked like something was coming towards them.

Xiao Jiu suddenly looked at the blood light on the five long claws of the Blood Devourer, and hurriedly shouted, "Quickly put away your claws." ”

Lin Xi understood, dissipated the blood energy between the claws, and the two of them suddenly fell into darkness. They fumbled their way to a device, only to see that the light in the distance was still extending in their direction, but it was not as targeted as before, and the light flickered from side to side from time to time.

Still, the glimmer was still approaching.

A moment later, another light lit up. This time it was not far from them, only less than ten meters away. On the lit floor, Lin Ci saw a pair of shoes and two legs.

Lin Ci couldn't help but look at Xiao Jiu and whispered, "See, are there still survivors?" ”

Xiao Jiu leaned into his ear and said, "Think about it with your brain, it's been almost a year, how can there be survivors." Even if there were, I'm afraid it would have become a monster. ”

"Maybe there's a miracle." Lin Xi muttered.

"How can there be so many miracles......"

As soon as the light on the floor faded, the feet began to move in the direction of the two of them. Looking at the walking posture, it should be a woman, but she is wearing long boots and camouflage pants, so it is difficult to distinguish from the appearance.

As the other party got closer and closer, more and more body parts appeared in the light, until they were only three meters away from Lin Ci and the others. By the light from the ground, they could already see that it was a woman in camouflage and a bulletproof vest.

It's just that the part above her neck still can't be seen clearly.

"What should I do?" Xiao Jiu said in Lin Xi's ear.

Lin Ci shrunk his neck, he was really not used to letting the girl blow in his ear, and he whispered: "What else can I do, wait and see what happens." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman suddenly squatted, and with a sharp stretch of her legs, the whole person pounced. The next moment, already squatting on the instrument where they were hiding, the blood-devouring five claws suddenly lit up on their own, and the released blood light illuminated the woman's whole body.

Lin Ci and Xiao Jiu saw clearly this time, this woman wearing boots and camouflage uniforms was normal until the neck, but there was a huge triangular head on the neck, with three small red eyes on each side of the head, looking like a large woodpecker!

The monster opened its mouth, its mouth full of fangs, and its fangs turned out, and a barbed tongue suddenly popped out from inside, shooting towards Lin Xi's face.

"I'll go." Lin Ximeng pressed it on the instrument, and at the same time reached out and pushed Xiao Jiu away, and he himself flipped out.

With a thud, the monster's long tongue flicked on the floor, blasting the floor of unknown material into a coin-sized notch.

Terrible ejection force, this kinetic energy is only afraid to catch up with the pistol.

"Quack" The monster let out a strange cry from its mouth, and it stood up, and suddenly ripped open its shirt, and two soft flesh balls jumped out from under the neckline.

If you change to a normal woman, this is undoubtedly a glamorous picture. Helplessly, the woman's body is holding a triangular strange head at the moment, and it looks like the picture is a little heavy, especially the woman's chest is torn with a straight red line, and then with a snort, the chest cavity actually pops open, and the ribs and belt flesh are turned out, which is not only heavy, but also disgusting.

To Lin Ci's surprise, there was no organ in the chest cavity, but a huge mouthpart, from which a green column of water suddenly erupted.

Lin Ci hurriedly turned over and dodged, and the water jet sprayed onto the floor, and the floor immediately snorted and smoked out. At this time, the woman was still changing, her palms stretched and lengthened, her nails fell off, and hook-like claws grew from her fingers.

As a thorny tail snapped from its back, the triangular-headed monster, which was completely indistinguishable from its human form, crouched down and pounced on Lin Xi.

Lin Xi hurriedly rolled around a few times, distanced himself from it, and then got up from the ground. As soon as he adjusted his position, the triangular head was already pounced on the ground like a wolf's hands and feet, and before it could pounce, it first ejected its long barbed tongue.

Lin Xi raised the blood devouring and grabbed it, and the five claws of the blood devouring grabbed five blood marks, and easily cut off the long tongue. The severed tongue splashed green juice, sticking to the bloody claws, and it actually burned green smoke.

Then the triangular head pounced, opening its huge mouth like a vicious wolf to bite the blood. At the same time, he grabbed Lin Ci with both hands, and the claws on his hands were deeply buckled into Lin Ci's flesh. The mouthparts in the chest and abdomen bit fiercely towards Lin Xi's chest, and at this moment, the fire lit up violently in the dimness.

A pillar of fire sprayed on the monster's back, burning it so badly that it let go of Lin Xi and jumped away. Lin Ci looked at it, but it was Xiao Jiu who simulated Father Belo's ability and helped him at a critical moment.

Lin Ci nodded at her.

At this time, the monster left Lin Ci and rushed towards Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Jiu suddenly screamed. Fortunately, Lin Ci kept an eye on it, and as soon as it moved, Lin Ci rushed up, and as soon as the blood was devoured, he caught its tail.

With a hard pull, the monster was pulled back by Lin Ci. It turned and pounced on Lin Ci, and this time Lin Ci was prepared, holding its tail, and slammed its fist on the triangular monster's head. It smashed its fangs and threw several of its fangs off, and the monster fell to the ground. Just as he was about to get up, he snorted, and his whole body shook violently, but it was the blood devouring that blasted out a blood king gun and nailed it to the ground.

Lin Ci fired three shots in a row, and the three Blood King spears staggered to nail the monster. But its vitality is extremely tenacious, and it is still struggling. Lin Xi raised the blood devourer, and the five claws fiercely caught its triangular monster head.

Immediately, green liquor splattered.

The triangular monster's head was caught in six pieces by the blood devourer, and it spread out, and the blood and brain flowed out at the moment.

Moments later, the corpse turned pitch black, and along with the blood, it turned into a black fluorescent light and floated up. The fluorescent light converged, forming a blood ball the size of a bottle cap and floating towards Lin Xi. The mouthparts of the blood devouring palm opened, swallowing the small blood ball.

It wasn't until the triangular monster disappeared that Xiao Jiu walked over, looked at Lin Ci and said, "This is a xenomorph?" ”

"Although some are different, the essence is the same. Even if it's not a xenomorph, it's a new type of mutant creature. Lin Ci frowned and said: "It seems that it is parasitic on the body of the original group of explorers, I don't know how many such things there are ......."

As soon as he finished speaking, a little light lit up in the darkness in the distance. Then the light appeared one by one like stars in the night, and there were quite a few of them, at least a few dozens. Following the light to quickly move in the direction of Lin Ci and them, Lin Ci shouted, "Throw a fireball and see!" ”

Xiao Jiu's simulated ability has not been withdrawn, and he raised his hand and threw out a fireball at the moment.

Fireballs crossed the empty dark space and landed in the distance. By the light of the fire, creatures with the body of a woman and a triangular head could be seen rushing towards them.

"What a jackpot." Lin Ci looked at the blood devouring and said, "Hey, let's eat." ”

The blood devourer let out a long roar from its mouthparts, and Lin Xi pounced on the dozens of triangular head monsters.
