Chapter 33: Out of Control
Without the slightest pause, the iron-blooded xenomorph immediately left the room after injecting the young eggs and began to search for a second target. The screams continued to sound, and some of the people who had slept lightly were already awakened.
The first rays of sunlight shone on the town again, dispelling the darkness, and the number of aliens had risen to an uncontrollable level.
………
Early in the morning, Sheriff Eddie's phone was blown up, and one police call after another made Eddie anxious, as if there were problems everywhere overnight, leaking underground pipes, broken street lights, broken ground, screams in the early morning, oh my God, who could tell him what the hell was going on?
In the early hours of last night, Wolf Iron Blood also came to the town, and following the movement of the aliens, it easily found the corpses of four aliens, although very curious about the cause of their deaths, Wolf Iron Blood still did what he had to do. It took a vial of glowing blue liquid from its crotch and gently poured it on the alien corpse. The alien's body, which can coexist with the blood that can corrode the deck of a spaceship, is like snow in the face of this special blue potion, and in the blink of an eye, there is not a single scum left.
Putting away the potion, Wolf Iron Blood activated the armor invisibility, and began to continue to search for traces of the Iron Blood Alien.
I don't know for what reason, whether it's the Predator or the alien, their main activity time is at night, once it's daytime, they rarely appear on the ground, maybe it's the instinct of the hunter, and the Predator doesn't seem to want humans to know about aliens, as long as possible, it often erases all traces related to aliens.
Chen Li took a short break in the early hours of the morning, saying that he was resting, but he just closed his eyes and regained his energy, his ears were listening to the surrounding situation all the time, and Chen Li did not dare to have any carelessness.
When the light of dawn pierced the darkness, Chen Li also opened his eyes. Jumping off the tree, Chen Li decided to go to the forest to observe.
………
Eddie came to the forest with his own hands as he promised yesterday, although the town is a mess now, but what he has said, must be fulfilled, this is his Eddie, his promise to the townspeople when he first became a sheriff, it is his faith for so many years, it is the creed of his life that will not change in his life.
He knew he might be a little stupid to do it now, but when he thought about the panicked way Buddy and his son looked yesterday, and the way Benson was sweating profusely to explain, he knew he was not wrong in doing so.
"Stop!" , the original road to the woods has been set up with a road checkpoint.
"What's going on? I'm Sheriff Eddie, and I have something to do right now to go to the mountains! Eddie looked at these GIs and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Since yesterday, this place has been cordoned off, and no one is allowed to enter!" , the GI has a gun in his hand, and his face is full of meat.
"I'm a sheriff, I'm a member of the National Security Forces, I'm going into the mountains now!"
"Sorry, I'm talking about anyone." , the soldier paused word by word, and said this sentence clearly.
Eddie looked at the gun in the GI's hand and struggled for a few seconds before he finally decided to obey the orders of the state.
On the way back, Eddie kept thinking about what the monsters that Buddy's father and son saw, the crashed spaceship, and the army that were secretly mobilized had something to do with each other, and a strong sense of ominousness enveloped him.
"Sir, I think you need to take a look at this, we're in District 16." , in the liaison on the police car, a voice came.
Buddy turned around and headed for District 16.
………
The Iron Chieftain with the three elders hid his body under the thick foliage and observed the human soldiers below, each with a communicator and a bulky communicator in his hand.
Quietly, an iron-blooded elder used a noose to easily hang the person walking at the back of the line.
The soldier with his throat stuck in his throat couldn't make any sound in the air, and the sudden attack made him subconsciously kick his legs, but unfortunately it didn't work. The thin lasso soon broke his neck, and as soon as his legs loosened, he lost his life.
The Predator kept killing three people until the last man's gun fell from his body and made a loud noise, which attracted the attention of the rest of the nine-man squad.
"Damn, Ratty, Ratty, where are you?" Seeing the gun lost on the ground, the captain was immediately defeated by this unknown fear.
He prayed to God with a crying voice, and when he lowered his head, three red crosshairs were in a triangle, aimed at his chest.
"Bump", the captain's upper body was directly vaporized in front of the energy cannon, and the plasma splattered all over the ground.
The other iron-blooded elder straightened his arm and shot the spear in his hand like lightning, pinning a soldier to the ground who couldn't react.
Soon, the nine-man squad was slaughtered, and none survived.
"Squad 13, squad 13, please answer when you hear it, answer it when you hear it!" , from the walkie-talkie that fell from the communicator's hand, the voice came intermittently.
"Bang", the iron-blooded chief stomped on the walkie-talkie on the ground, before the real hunt, it is also good to have some spices to appetize.
………
Chen Li, who came to the edge of the woods, also found the army surrounding the town.
Directly dispatched the army? No wonder we are not afraid that we will not be killed, in such a situation, it is difficult to say who is hunting whom, Chen Li smiled bitterly.
He entered the woods to see how powerful the soldiers were.
Coincidentally, Chen Li saw that after receiving a phone call, the patrol team in front of him was all dispatched and rushed to a place.
Keep up and have a look? Chen Li gave in to his curiosity.
Blood dripped from the trees, the pungent blood attracted all sorts of bugs, and large swaths of flies began to lay eggs on the skinned corpses.
"Vomit ......", some of the patrols who came to check on the situation of the 13th squad couldn't stand such a scene and couldn't help but vomit.
The members of Squad 13 were all killed, then skinned, revealing bloody muscles, like some cult ritual, hung upside down from a tree, blood already stained red with a piece of land around them.
"This, how is it possible, there are other Predators!" , Chen Li immediately saw that this was exactly the Predator's technique.
The lone wolf came to this area last night, its main target is the Predator, and it is impossible to stay here for the sake of a few human warriors, so there is only one explanation, I am afraid that there is more than one Predator in the space.
Chen Li gasped, the situation was already much beyond his expectations.
………
Bodies are lifted from the residents' homes, and Eddie pulls the police car to a stop.
"What's going on?" Eddie looked at a corpse covered with a white cloth, anger blooming in his eyes.
"The cause of death for all was about the same, all the men were all skulls pierced by sharp objects, and all the women, all of them had a big hole in their abdomen, and everything in it was gone, and it looked like, like ......"
"Like what?" Eddie still hasn't understood the meaning of the phrase that everything is gone.
"It's like something crawls into their bodies, eats all their internal organs, and then bursts open their stomachs and comes out." , the police officer slurred and said this cruel reality.
Add walked quickly to the corpse, he lifted the white cloth, and a naked female corpse appeared in front of him, and a large bloody hole was broken in the center of the corpse. Through the big hole, you can clearly see that the inside of the corpse is just like the police described, really, there is nothing.
Add closed his eyes, his face pale, and his trembling hands covered him with a white cloth.
His steps were a little vain, and a bitter taste welled up in his heart, and then all the way up, up, all the way through his nose, and out of his eyes.
It was like a bolt of lightning striking his soul.
He was in a trance, he still remembered what the corpse looked like when he was alive, and he remembered that when he was running for sheriff, it was one afternoon, and he was in high spirits. His long-standing adherence to his creed has made the townspeople know who he is. He remembers the applause for his campaign words and the promises he made to the townspeople.
As a result, in the end, there is still nothing to protect......
Add looked up at the horizon to keep his tears from falling.
If I had believed Buddy and his son yesterday, maybe that wouldn't have happened. A strong sense of remorse surrounds Eddie.
"Go, notify all the residents of the town, issue an emergency hazard notice."
"Yes!"
………
Receiving the news from the sheriff that unknown monsters were constantly hunting sleeping people at night, panic began to boil, and everyone locked themselves in their homes, closed all doors and windows, picked up guns, and protected themselves.
Eddie drove the police car and continued to patrol the streets, and everyone could stay at home, but he, Sheriff Add, couldn't. This is the uniform on his body, the noble mission and honor that he brings him, and he will never leave the inhabitants of the town behind.
"I'm sorry, Sheriff Add, I want to ...... I want to take a leave of absence for a while, and there is something going on at home. A police officer radioed Eddie.
"It's okay, it's okay, I've approved it, go ahead." For some reason, Eddie was a little upset.
Since just now, there have been police officers asking him for leave, and Eddie can understand what these people are thinking, but it is precisely because of this that he must approve these leaves.
"Damn monsters!" , Eddie slammed the steering wheel.
On the other hand, Wolf Iron Blood had been searching in the underground passage for a while, and the sky was gradually getting dark. It's getting closer and closer to the alien lair, next to the giant cistern.
In the darkness, the long tails began to swim like a nightmare. Alien has begun a large-scale sortie!
