Chapter Seventy-Three: The Apostles
"There is a root cause for the occurrence of all phenomena."
Someone once said this to Lin Ling before she became such a posture.
The other party's almost shattered face is still deeply engraved in her mind.
So since then, Lin Ling has understood a little.
If we want to contain the calamity, we must start at the root of these anomalies.
"My armor was developed especially for your apostles."
She stood in the middle of the hall with her gun in hand, her hoarse and slightly cheerful voice coming from the blood-stained armor.
This time, she didn't spit out any lies.
When the words fell, Li Yu, who was one with the apostle, looked directly at Lin Ling.
"You're not from the Federation."
The real answer was stated by Li Yu, the huge head quietly raised to look at Lin Ling, and every small eye in the dense compound eyes reflected Lin Ling's figure covered by metal.
Now it finally knew why Lin Ling was not affected by the infection, and it finally knew why the weapon used by the other party made it so unfamiliar.
Because this human being is not a soldier of the Federation at all.
Alien?
Is there a carbon-based life outside the Tianhe system that has rejected the favor of the gods?
All kinds of speculations flashed through Li Yu's mind.
It tilted its head slightly, its slender neck shifted in place.
When the life that human beings dream of appearing in front of it, it does not feel much emotion.
Especially when the other party says something that desecrates his faith, he doesn't feel any fluctuations.
Because its original emotions were already consumed by the apostle's distortion of the essence when it was fused.
"Forget it, it's pretty much it."
Its time is short, but it still remembers its mission.
Even under the contamination of the apostle's body, it remembered exactly what it was supposed to do.
Li Yu said this, raised his head, opened the feather hidden under his neck and stretched out, and the blood-colored flesh membrane spread out from it.
The black and red pipes like human blood vessels overwhelmingly occupied Lin Ling's field of vision.
"Anyway, as long as you merge with me, I'll get the answer."
The black-red pipes struck forward, and the slender four sides of the floor gradually merged with the floor tiles.
The originally hard stone gradually softened at this time, and the blood filled with the smell of iron seeped from the ground, and one brick after another grew rotting flesh, and strange mouth organs were all over it.
Assimilation Type......
Seeing this scene, Lin Ling quickly judged the ability of this apostle, and decisively swiped out her hook and claw to flip onto the top steel frame that had long been empty due to broken glass.
Flesh covered the place where she had just stood.
She saw that the monsters she had slain had now turned into flesh and blood, and limbs like women's arms had grown from their bones.
Lin Ling was still watching, and she didn't plan to do it until she knew what was going on.
But in the next second, a sudden sense of crisis erupted in her heart caused her to jump on another steel frame in an instant, and when she turned around, she saw countless women's palms stretching from the ground to the position where she had just landed, groping on the steel frame.
The pale dense fingers pulsed on it as if there were no bones, and Lin Ling saw that blood began to spread where it had been touched.
This powerful contamination shows how harmful this apostle was.
But it doesn't stop there.
The current Li Yu is like a software that has been forcibly installed in a powerful hardware facility, and the backward configuration cannot support the operation of the hardware at all, and even causes obstacles.
After all, the human consciousness is too ridiculous compared to the body of the apostle.
During the temptation just now, Lin Ling discovered that there was no primordial consciousness in the body of this newborn apostle, and she didn't know where this human named Li Yu found it.
But none of this prevents Lin Ling from continuing to do it.
She dodged another attack, watched as the pale arms smashed the steel frame off, leapt into the air and smash it down at the most vulnerable point at the top.
The originally sturdy structure collapsed with a bang with her strange force, smashing directly into Li Yu.
This unreasonable operation made Li Yu crush below without having time to dodge at all.
Hastily manipulated the assimilation ability to transform the steel frame.
As it emerged from the burial, it saw a cannon aimed at its head.
It was so close that he could clearly hear the sound coming from the other party's armor.
"Annihilation weapon activation"
The dazzling light suddenly erupted at this moment, breaking through the shackles of space and penetrating the sky.
And the people who were arguing in the spaceship dock also saw the beams of light that pierced the sky like rainbow light.
"What's that?"
Someone asked, drawing the attention of the other travelers who were still arguing.
"Please don't panic! We are contacting the headquarters of the alliance, please do not support ...... Squeeze? ”
The female flight attendant, who was still trying to organize order, was suddenly pulled by a colleague next to her and saw the sky in the direction that the other party was pointing.
A dazzling light bloomed in her eyes.
"Ahh
At the top of the tower, countless screams rang out over the flesh that covered the room.
Most of the room that had been blasted away by the beam was exposed to the air, and most of the missing apostle's remains were still standing.
Lin Ling was knocked against the wall by the impact and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Her exoskeleton armor was disarmed at this moment.
This body is not a pure human after all, and the consequence of forcibly operating a weapon of annihilation is mass necrosis of the body.
The cost of running this weapon is quite huge, otherwise it would not have been forced to lock by the kill program.
But Lin Ling had to do this, because only in this way could the apostle be incapacitated.
"System! Jump right now! Activate against star weapons! ”
She yelled, looking at the apostle's torso, which was already moving, and picked up the whip to make it revert to a long stick and slammed it down on it.
One time.
Two clicks.
Three times.
She frantically smashed the apostolic remains into pieces.
Knocking through the ground and smashing through the concrete, she didn't stop even though blood oozed from her eyes and blood gushed from her clenched teeth.
This body is dying.
So she will be scolded by that fish bone again when she goes back.
"Hurry up!"
She yelled.
But there was no response.
A strange feeling was coming from the wreckage of the Apostle, as if something terrible was being revived.
Now "Li Yu" should be dead, and the apostle's body without consciousness control is giving birth to a new consciousness at this moment.
This is an inevitable phenomenon.
It can be said that this is the true characteristic of the apostles—as long as flesh remains, they will be born again.
It's a pity that Lin Ling's body is too fragile to withstand the next beam of annihilation.
The energy was constantly draining, and the metal rod rolled down from the palm of her hand, making Lin Ling almost fall.
The crazy obsession in her brain kept her from falling.
A pull came from under her feet.
At some point, tentacles stretched out from the apostle's flesh and were pulling at her ankles.
Afterwards...... Shove her out of the way and let her hit the wall.
A dazzling light also came from above.
The wriggling flesh coalesced into human form, and a figure appeared in place, arms outstretched as if in welcome.
Lin Ling leaned against the wall, and in her blood-covered eyes, she vaguely saw a familiar face smiling at her.
The slightly open lips were spitting out two words.
"Thank you."
The next moment, the glare drowned out everything.
Right in front of Lin Ling, a beam of light falling from the sky swallowed everything in front of her, and metal and cement evaporated in the pillar of light like ashes.
[Aha! Host I succeeded!! 】
