Chapter 338: Monsters

Although communication between the ship and the building a kilometer away was disrupted due to the static electricity in the storm, at least communication was not completely interrupted.

It's like on the bridge of the Prometheus, images and sound signals can still be received from the protective suits of geologists and biologists.

In the original plot, the captain left the bridge shortly after, and no one was on duty that night, so he didn't notice that the two people outside had been killed by the monster.

This time, however, it was the Red Queen who had made some small changes very intimately, making the images and sounds received here on the bridge cluttered with content, and it looked like the communication had been disrupted by serious interference.

Since the storm began, the interference of static electricity in the storm has caused a lot of minor problems for the ship, and although the captain soon noticed that he had lost communication with the two people outside, he did not have any suspicions. In fact, if it weren't for his duty, he might have just shut down the outside contact, but apparently he couldn't do that, so he had to endure the constant noise and try to keep himself asleep.

Little did the captain know that while he was complaining that the storm was causing him to lose sleep, the two men trapped in the building because of the storm had unconsciously returned to the place they wanted to flee from during the day.

The black room where the Engineer's head had been found during the day had changed to a different look.

A large number of vase-like containers used to preserve the alien protoplasms were neatly placed on the floor of this room, and for two thousand years, they had been quietly maintained because they were closed from the outside world.

However, during the day, as the room was opened by the search team, the containers came into contact with the air, causing unexpected changes.

A large amount of black liquid filled with alien protos flowed out of the container and gathered on the ground, turning into black puddles, and the scene here looked like the scene after the oil well leaked.

Our geologists and biologists, Feifield and Milban, were unaware of the danger and even made this their place to stay tonight, ready to stay here and wait for the next day.

It wasn't until shortly after entering the place that they encountered another creature, or monster, here.

The Xenomorph Protozoa is the original prototype of the Xenomorph, and this creature not only has an exceptionally strong vitality and lethality, but the truly striking effect is that it can fuse according to the host's own DNA and actively select the parts they need.

The evolution of normal organisms is a long and brutal process, after going through heredity, mutation, and natural selection, new species are born that are more adaptable to the environment, but for alien creatures, their evolution may only take a few hours or even minutes to complete.

I have to say that Xenomorph is really a very magical species, and it seems that it was born to challenge people's perception again and again.

After the black liquid flowed to the ground, the only creatures in the room, the inconspicuous worms, became their hosts.

The alien protozoa, which obtained foreign DNA, soon evolved into a white monster that resembles a cobra in appearance, using the worm as a template.

"Prometheus, did you get it?"

Upon noticing the creature, perhaps an outbreak of occupational disease, Milban immediately sensed a surprise similar to the discovery of a new species, carefully approaching the monster that had ejected from the black liquid while reporting his discovery to the ship.

"We've come across a reptilian creature here, maybe 30-40 inches long, with clear skin."

He didn't have the heart to think about why there was no response from the Prometheus, and as he spoke, Milban had already come to the edge of the puddle of black liquid and knelt down on one knee, looked at the monster that was sticking out like a snake a meter away, and said, "It's beautiful." ”

Before he could finish speaking, at the edge of the puddle in front of him, another of the same monster suddenly came out, and the sudden change made Milban fall to the ground in a panic, and the monster, with a black liquid out of its upper body, rose high, as if observing these two strange creatures.

"Prometheus, we've found two", quickly added, and Milban carefully got up, scheming the strange creature in large numbers, "Look at it, it's so big!" ”

The momentary fear was quickly replaced by surprise, and Milban had no idea how dangerous the creature in front of him was, as if he were teasing a tantrum beast, trying to calm the monster down, and tentatively reaching out his right hand to the monster.

However, in the next moment, he understood how stupid his actions were, this little guy who was "cute" in his eyes, his open head suddenly grabbed his outstretched right hand, although the monster's body was very slender, but the power of the explosion was difficult for him to resist.

Before Feifield could come to his aid, the monster's entire body jumped out of the black liquid with a thud, and then the white slender body was tightly wrapped around his arm, and it was constantly tightening, like a python wrapped around its prey, trying to kill its prey in this way!

"Now you can help me!" Milban struggled to tense the muscles in his arms, resisting the monster's entanglement.

"I'm not going to touch this thing!" Although Feifield wanted to go up to help Milban, the monster was as disgusting as a snake, and the aggressiveness it showed at this time made him dare not step forward, and even subconsciously retreated.

"It's getting tighter! Cut it off, man! Milban yelled anxiously at Feifield.

The power of this monster made Milban helpless by himself, and when Feifield finally mustered up the courage to catch this monster, it seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly the monster's body was entangled more solidly, and at the same time, Milban couldn't help but exhale in pain.

"It's going to break my arm!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the monster's strength increased a few points again, and his elbow joint was broken with a click, and the protective suit there was also torn open by this force, revealing the hideous wounds and broken bones stained with blood!

"Cut it off! Cut it off! ”

Amid the hysterical roar of Milban, Feifield hurriedly pulled out the important dagger, grabbed the monster's sticky body with one hand, and grabbed the dagger with the other hand and cut the monster's body hard!

As he laboriously severed the monster's body, a transparent bodily fluid erupted from the fracture, like the monster's blood.

These liquids are as corrosive as aqua regia, or even stronger than that, because even glass can't stop the corrosion of this liquid!

White smoke rose from the surface of Feifield's helmet, easily corroding into potholes there, and soon a clear liquid was contaminating Feifield's body from the corroded notched hazmat suit and helmet.

Like flames burning on his body, Feifield screamed in pain to take off his helmet, but before he could succeed, his staggered body tripped over a stone on the ground, and then he threw himself head-on into the black liquid on the ground!

As he struggled to prop himself up from the liquid, the helmet that was supposed to protect him was now clinging to his face like a batter due to the corrosion of the clear liquid, bringing even deeper pain to Feifield, and at the same time taking his life at a rapid pace!

Next to Feifield, the crisis in Mirban was never resolved.

The monster, whose body had just been cut in two, grew a new head in a matter of seconds at the fracture, and then the reborn monster slipped through the gap in Milban's suit at the elbow, making real contact with Milban.

Milban tried to stop him, but the monster's slippery body crawled easily along his arm to his head, its white body swimming against the inner wall of the helmet and quickly wrapping around Milban's neck.

Simply strangling Milban is not the result that the monster wants.

Milban opened his mouth to scream in fear, but the monster found an opportunity, and its head slammed into his mouth, completely muffling his terrified voice. Next, the monster's body easily stretched out his teeth and throat, and he couldn't wait to burrow his entire body inside Milban's body!
