Chapter 0024 - Mixed Blessings
The sea of clouds needs to rest, but the alien does not.
On the night of the return from the hunt, it was clear that there was a host crisis in the race, and all the aliens continued to go out hunting.
There are more mutated bamboo rats, after all, they are the most animals in the back mountain.
Maybe they were frightened by the mutated green stripes, or maybe for other reasons, they rarely come out during the day, but they are still active in the back mountain at night.
The messenger alien, led by the lynx alien, has continuously captured mutant bamboo rats one by one.
The ferocious mutant bamboo rat has no power to fight back in front of the queen, but even the messenger is far from being able to compete with them.
For a whole night, fifty messenger aliens captured more than 200 mutated bamboo rats and fifteen mutant slow loris, finally temporarily solving the embarrassment of the facehugging insects without a host to make love.
Slow loris, also called bee monkeys, have large eyes and slow movements.
Most of the day, he rests in the dense canopy or tree hollow, and even when he is caught, he doesn't bother to look up, so Yunhai's hometown is used to calling him a slow loris.
Originally between 30 and 40 centimeters in size, the mutated slow loris is now more than a meter long.
Except for the fact that their forelimbs seemed to be a little more developed, even if they were caught by the aliens, they still had the same nature, and after a short period of fear, they actually fell asleep in a huddle on the soft and warm fungus blanket, and there was no awareness of the impending disaster.
Yun Hai looked at these guys with tears and laughter, and felt that the face-hugging worm was a little worthless.
It's not a good host at all, and Yunhai doesn't know how the slow loris mutated and survived.
The three parasitic slow loris aliens that were parasitic yesterday have completed molting and growing.
The size of the host is completely indistinguishable, except for the slightly thicker forelimbs, which is obviously not an excellent gene for such a crappy host for alien embryos.
Of course, whether it has absorbed any recessive genes, this sea of clouds is unknown.
It is also determined that the aliens will not absorb genes such as their "laziness", otherwise as far as the slow loris is concerned, the sea of clouds will only turn them into the queen's food, not the host of the aliens.
There are joys and worries, the problem of the host, the sea of clouds is estimated to be as more aliens come, and the problem will not be very big.
What worries him is that the mutation of living things has not stopped.
The mutant bamboo rat is particularly obvious.
The body length is close to about one meter, and the long tail and body have grown small keratinized scales, and the hair on the body surface of the mutant bamboo rat has faint signs of fading.
The pointed ears looked like two thin horns, and the sharp fangs poked out from the palate, like a terrifying vampire.
After carefully observing them for a long time, Yunhai confirmed that the messenger who captured them was not injured by the bamboo rat's mutation again, and his heart was slightly certain, but it was still heavy.
He couldn't imagine how humans would face a staggering number of bamboo rats if they included more rodent creatures, with their amazing reproductive abilities, if they all mutated into hard, scaly skin armor and sharp teeth and claws.
In comparison, the mutant hare has not changed very much, parasitic its alien shape, and after molting and growing, the body shape characteristics are not very obvious.
With a body length of nearly one and a half meters, and when a person stands up, coupled with a much stronger hind limbs, the hare alien can reach a height of two and a half meters.
The bouncing power is amazing, several times stronger than that of ordinary messengers.
However, compared to the bobcat alien, the hare alien is a little worse, after all, as far as their host is concerned, the rabbit only has the share of running away when it sees the bobcat.
Of course, all the aliens together are not as happy as the sea of clouds brought by the porcupine alien.
Ecstasy, to be exact.
The porcupine alien who has completed its first molting evolution is deservedly the real first Praetorian Alien.
The body length is nearly three meters, and the height of the hind limbs is nearly five meters when the person stands up, which is almost the same size as the queen.
The limbs are not broken like the porcupine host, and it is clear that the host gene is not considered excellent by the alien.
The other body characteristics of the porcupine alien are similar to those of the normal alien, except that two metalized sharp giant teeth grow from the side of its giant snout.
With its extraordinarily thick and powerful limbs, coupled with sharp teeth nearly half a meter long, Yun Hai believed that if it ran with all its strength, coupled with momentum, a tank could pierce and overturn.
This is just one of them, what excites Yunhai the most is the body surface of the porcupine alien, which extends from the back to the tail vertebrae, and the body surface of the porcupine alien is covered with tiny bone spurs.
The base of the spike is about the thickness of a human little finger, and the tip is as thin as a needle.
The back is densely packed with hundreds of roots, and the sea of clouds with dense phobias not only does not fit the slightest discomfort, but looks elated.
Yun Hai tried to let the porcupine alien eject bone spurs to see the power, and without even inhaling, a bone spur flew out from the back of the porcupine alien, and nailed into the stone wall like lightning, and half of it didn't enter.
It can be fired individually or in groups, and the porcupine alien can control the number of ejections, which makes Yunhai delighted.
Naturally, he couldn't let go of such an ability absorption, but to Yunhai's surprise, he failed to extract any ability from the porcupine alien.
Even the strength has not increased by half a point.
This made Yun Hai, who originally thought that the power of the porcupine alien was still above the queen, affirm, even if it was just parasitic an old dog, at least the power of the porcupine alien was still inferior to the alien queen.
As for the bone spur ejection, it was just a whimsical of the sea of clouds.
After all, he was a human body, not an alien body, and this constrained his alien evolution.
Other aliens were busy, and it was impossible for the porcupine alien to be idle if it was so powerful, so Yunhai sent it to find a host, and there was some expectation in his heart about what kind of mutant creatures it could capture.
Looking around, Yun Hai didn't know how big the cave was at this time.
When the earliest experts came to explore, they said that Guoyang Mountain and the Eighteen Peaks were originally at the bottom of the sea N million years ago, and finally volcanic eruptions, plate movements, or something surfaced on the continent.
Among them, the cave with nine turns and eighteen bends was also formed at that time, occupying almost the entire Yangshan mountain, and he even heard people say that there are several passages in the cave that lead to an underground river.
It is precisely because the terrain of the cave is too complicated, the terrain is dangerous, for fear that tourists who have no sense of proportion will get lost or have an accident in it, and the cave is extremely large, the development funds can not be put in place for a while, and the scenic spot can only be stranded.
In fact, when the end of the world first came, Yunhai still planned to avoid disaster in the cave.
It's just that he can't be sure if there are more terrifying mutant creatures in the cave, and he doesn't want to be discovered about the existence of the alien queen, so he finally dispelled this idea.
Liu Ming and the others naturally knew about the cave, maybe they had the same idea, or the endless mutated creatures scared their courage, and they didn't dare to leave the hotel for half a step.
Until the hotel was breached by the swarm......
The courier aliens who went out hunting returned to their hosts in a steady stream, but the porcupines and lynx aliens were nowhere to be found.
Fortunately, a faint spiritual connection has always existed, at least to make sure that they are still alive, Yunhai will be relieved.
One of the two messengers who explored the cave returned with a mutant bamboo rat and brought a message to Yunhai that he didn't expect.
Spiritual level communication, even if it is only good at killing aliens, it is difficult to describe the situation in simple thinking, Yunhai still figured it out.
The xenomorph who searched the cave not only found a passage to the outside, but also found humans like him.
In fact, the messenger's spiritual communication describes a creature with a breath similar to that of the sea of clouds.
The simple-minded man didn't quite understand why the supreme lord of the race would give the order not to attack a creature with his aura until he had been attacked by an active provocation.
Why does the Juggernaut have the same aura as those creatures that look delicious but are weak?
But dominance above all else, this absolute surrender from genes, is not something that a small messenger can question.
The sweaty queen lays eggs while eating the empty eggs that the messenger has brought in front of her, which is much more comfortable than the days of the bare-bones commander.
More aliens came in and out, grabbed the host and handed it over to the remaining accomplices, and ran out tirelessly.
Sure that nothing would go wrong if he left, Yunhai grabbed his backpack and followed the messenger to find its so-called human.
It is estimated that they are the big heads, what the outside world looks like now, because the sea of clouds is not clear about the disconnection of communication, but in the last days of biological mutation, he thinks that no one will kill themselves and run to the mountains and forests with more creatures.
Following the passage in the cave, the sea of clouds and the messenger passed through countless holes, climbing up and down, and then descending along the near-right-angled cliff terrain.
After running for a long time, I met a few more messengers searching in the cave on the way, and they all followed the sea of clouds.
After running for more than ten minutes, at the current speed, Yunhai estimated that when he ran down Yangshan outside long ago, there was finally an abnormality in front.
PS: Thanks to Archbishop Artanis for the tip. There is still no recommendation on the website next week, if you want to be seen by more people, you can only try to rush to the new book list of science fiction categories first, I hope you will collect and vote for it! Thank you!!!
