I didn't expect this monster to be so capable, it was like being hit head-on by a truck, and the person immediately flew backwards and flew out.

There was a loud bang, and the wooden walls of the cabin couldn't withstand the force of my impact, and they broke in an instant, causing me to fall directly out of the room.

I suddenly crashed through the wall and flew out, startling Shen Hao, who was guarding outside for cover, and he was about to rush over to save me.

"Don't come here!" I stopped him with a shout.

Then the monster climbed up the roof along the wall and climbed out of the house hanging upside down.

When Shen Hao saw it, he was so shocked that he scolded "Damn", and shot without even thinking about it.

He didn't shoot a few shots and shoot tentatively, but he just pulled the trigger. The continuous fire from the muzzle of the gun was accompanied by a huge gunfire, and the bullets flew like a rain towards the monster on the top.

I hurriedly shouted, "Don't shoot!" But it was too late, and the bullet "crackled" at the monster's body.

I fell under the monster, and knowing that something was wrong, I immediately held my head and curled up, shouting, "Beast, give me a stop, you will kill me!" ”

Sure enough, the bullets were ricocheted, numerous bullet holes appeared in the surrounding walls, and sawdust flew around me, and many ricochets hit me.

An Beimo and Qixing had already circled from the other side, and seeing this scene, Qixing hurriedly shouted: "Beast, stop firing!" ”

It may be that the sound of gunfire drowned out our voices, and Shen Hao hadn't noticed that the bullets were ineffective against the monster. In an emergency, An Beimo raised his flashlight and shone it on Shen Hao's eyes.

We use tactical flashlights, and if you shine a close shot at a person's eye, you can cause a temporary blindness. Although An Beimo and Shen Hao were at a distance, it still had an effect, Shen Hao immediately stopped, covered his eyes and shouted, "Who is this?" ”

The monster crawled on top like walking on the ground, it moved very quickly, turned the direction, and crawled towards An Beimo.

Knowing that the gun was ineffective against this guy, An Beimo pulled the seven stars and chose to avoid the edge for the time being, and the two turned their heads and ran, while the monster chased after them.

Fortunately, I defended in time, and it looked like I had fallen quite badly, but I didn't suffer any injuries. I jumped up from the ground and shouted angrily to Shen Hao: "Chase!" The two men chased after the monster.

An Beimo and the others ran fast, and the monsters chased fast, and they were about to catch up.

Shen Hao and I were chasing after me, and I suddenly noticed something strange. As soon as it passes by a place with a light on the top, the monster will flick its long tail and shatter the light.

I immediately realized something, and hurriedly shouted to An Beimo and Qixing in front of me: "It is sensitive to light, you guys quickly turn off the flashlight." ”

Reminded by me, An Beimo and Qixing immediately turned off the light source, and the monster on the top immediately slowed down, and suddenly turned around and crawled towards me again.

I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head and scolded Shen Hao: "You stupid person also turned off the flashlight!" Shen Hao only woke up at this time and hurriedly turned off the flashlight.

Losing its target, the monster spun around in place, and then crawled in the direction of An Beimo.

My heart instantly lifted, but I saw An Beimo and Qixing leaning against the walls on both sides, watching the monster crawl over their heads. It turned out that this time it was targeting other overhead lights not far away.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the lights on this floor will be destroyed by this monster.

I opened the intercom and said, "Kobayashi Lan, ask the captain where the lighting of the whole ship is controlled." ”

Kobayashi Lan immediately replied to me and said wait a minute, and after more than ten seconds, Kobayashi Lan said: "The lighting master control is in the cockpit." ”

I immediately said, "Okay, now everyone immediately gather in the cockpit, and Shen Hao and I will go and bring Sakai Haruko." Doctor, you are ready to be treated. Remember, keep two people moving together, don't use a flashlight, and try not to make a sound. We'll talk about it when we get together. ”

After getting everyone's reply, Shen Hao and I returned to Haruko Sakai's room the same way. Haruko Sakai was still lying on the bed, her breath was very weak, and her already pale face was faintly dark blue.

I picked up Haruko Sakai, let Shen Hao lead the way, and quickly rushed to the cockpit. When we entered, Seven Stars slammed the door shut and locked it.

Seeing that everyone was together, I immediately said to Kobayashi Lan: "Let the captain turn off all the lights!" ”

Probably knowing what I said, without waiting for Kobayashi Lan to translate, Suzumi Iwasaki pulled a floodgate. In an instant, the whole ship was plunged into darkness, and even we couldn't see each other clearly.

With a very faint light lit up, it was An Beimo who had prepared and tied a black cloth to the flashlight. Although the brightness is greatly reduced, it is enough for us to see our surroundings clearly.

Seeing that I was still holding Haruko Sakai, Nanashi immediately asked me to put her in a relatively flat place, and then began to examine her and give her first aid.

I asked the others to come over and whispered what I had seen in Haruko Sakai's room, and described it bulletproof, as well as how I bounced my attacks, and then asked what they thought of the monster.

Shen Hao said to me very embarrassed at this time: "I'm really sorry just now, I was a little reckless!" I tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Brother! Please, you can go for a snack in the future, buddy, I haven't married a wife and had children yet! After saying this, I actually looked at An Beimo.

An Bei Mo turned a blind eye and said to everyone: "Judging from the appearance of this guy, it is very similar to a horseshoe crab, and he is also sensitive to light sources. However, there are some things that are different, such as its tail is more slender and very flexible and aggressive. The feet are also more robust than those of horseshoe crabs, and their carapace is harder. ”

After thinking for a while, An Beimo continued: "How to describe it? I have a feeling that it may be some kind of branch creature of horseshoe crabs. ”

Kobayashi Lan translated An Bei Mo's words to Iwasaki Suzumi, but the two of them didn't express any opinions after listening.

I had been thinking about this question for a while, and I said, "It's not the same as the goddess's idea, but I think this is probably the most primitive form of the horseshoe crab." ”

Everyone focused on me, and I said, "Now it's certain that not only Chika Nakajima, but also the three corpses found by the Seven Stars on the Horseshoe Crab Ancestor were all killed by this monster. At the same time, it is also very important that it can sneak on the ship without us detecting it. These all prove one thing......"

I paused before saying, "This guy probably has some IQ!" ”

Seeing that everyone's faces were full of astonishment, I said in a surprising voice: "My guess is that this guy is a prototype horseshoe crab that has lived longer than the pair of male and female giant horseshoe crabs, and perhaps it is most appropriate to call it the ancestor of horseshoe crabs." ”

Everyone fell into deep thought because of my words, An Beimo looked at me and raised his eyebrows, and said, "You go on!" ”

I continued: "It's different from the horseshoe crabs we've seen, and I think that's the result of hundreds of millions of years of evolution. In other words, this may be a primitive biological form that is older than the history of trilobites, and it is also the only prehistoric horseshoe crab ancestor with a high degree of evolution. ”

"Of course!" I added, "It's just my reasoning, there's no evidence yet, but I'm biased towards this idea." Because judging by its previous behavior, I think this is the most likely possibility. ”

Shen Hao scratched his head and said, "It seems to make sense, this guy can hide for so long without showing up, and he will sneak in, and he will sneak up on the lone person." To say it's a brainless bug, I really don't believe it. ”

Qixing, who was busy on the side, interjected at this time: "I also support Black Hawk's statement!" ”

I heard Nanashi speak, and hurriedly asked Haruko Sakai how she was.

Seven stars found a high place for Haruko Sakai to hang the infusion bag, and then said to me, "Save it in time, there will be no danger to your life for the time being." However, the body is very weak, and there is a lot of nutrient loss in the body. If we arrive a little later, it will probably be the same as Chika Nakajima. ”

Speaking of which, it was the question I had always been curious about, and I hurriedly asked, "What did this primordial horseshoe crab ancestor do to her?" ”

Qixing replied, "According to what you just described, this horseshoe crab stuck its tail directly into her stomach, so I did a relevant examination of her esophagus and stomach. I found that the horseshoe crab uses its tail to absorb nutrients from her body. ”

To make this clearer, Qixing gave an example: "I think the tail of this horseshoe crab is very much like a straw, and when it enters the human body, the sucking fluff on the tail will be straightened and fit perfectly in the esophagus and stomach. Whether it is the body's nutrients, proteins, sugars, fats, or undigested food in the stomach, it will be absorbed by it without choice. At first, it will not kill people, but when the human body loses nutrients to a certain extent, it will produce acute starvation symptoms, leading to organ failure, and making people appear to be starved to death. ”

Glancing at Haruko Sakai, Nanashi said to me, "Fortunately, she reacted quickly and warned us with a gun, and you arrived in time to prevent her from being hurt further." Now, except for severe malnutrition, life should be worry-free. ”

After listening to it, I felt that this horseshoe crab's killing methods were not too cruel, but they were very vicious and disgusting.

I remember watching a movie before, and there was a giant python eating people everywhere. After swallowing a person, the person is tightly wrapped under the snakeskin, and then the python uses its own squeezing and sucking force to suck the human flesh alive, and finally expels the bones from the body.

At that time, although I knew that the movie was fake, whenever I remembered that a living person was sucked alive and died, I always felt a diaphragm in my heart. Nowadays, the method of this horseshoe crab is the opposite, it is to invade the human body and suck it, and when I imagine that scene for a while, my stomach will feel uncomfortable.

At this time, Shen Hao asked: "Let's think about how to get rid of this thing, we can't hide here and bring it back directly!" ”

I said firmly, "You must not bring this thing back!" One is terrifying enough, and if it can reproduce indefinitely, it will definitely bring disaster to countless people. ”

Shen Hao hurriedly said: "This guy is invulnerable, infinitely powerful, fast, and has almost no weaknesses. Is there any way you can deal with it? ”

I thought about it and said, "Since you can't kill it, grab it and throw it into the sea." After thinking about it for a while, I asked Iwasaki Suzumi, "Can the lights in the cabin be controlled separately?" ”

After Kobayashi Lan translated, Iwasaki Suzumi replied, "There is only a master control switch in the control room, and in the cabin on each floor, there is a separate control switch. Other than that, there are no other control switches. ”

I frowned, feeling a little difficult to do. Suddenly I thought that I had seen a lot of fishing nets there at the stern of the boat, and I suddenly had an idea.
