Chapter 34: Devouring
Annoyed, Rogec left with two guards, and the visit was a failure.
"Haven't we gone too far? Anyway, we have plenty of food, so we might as well cooperate with them and let them stop the xenomorphs for us, so that we can spare free time to build a base. β
Su Lan walked to his side and questioned.
"It's not right." Huang Shang was not angry because of Su Lan's questioning: "If we give in at the beginning and let them be at their mercy, then it is equivalent to directly giving up the right to speak, although there are too few of us now, it does not mean that we are weak, don't forget, you are all over-limited, the kind that is one against a hundred." β
"But..."Su Lan still wanted to theorize.
"No, however, this is a matter of statement, although your proposal is in our immediate interests, it is not in our long-term interests, I want a strong al-Qaeda, not a rich fat sheep to be slaughtered."
"Okay, listen to you." Su Lan tucked his long hair behind him.
"And even if we don't cooperate with them, they will have to fight the xenos for their own safety." Huang Shang said with a smile.
"That's right." Su Lan's eyes fluttered, and he smiled: "Then I'm going to cook, what to eat at night?" β
"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
Su Lan's idea may be right, but she doesn't understand her ambitions.
Huang Shang knew in his heart that Su Lan's idea was just to stay in the current base and survive, but he didn't think so.
The accident happened after dinner, and just as Huang Shang was scrubbing his guns, Su Lan held his notebook and ran anxiously into the bedroom.
"What's the matter, so urgent?"
"Fang Li has cracked the more specific secrets in the notebook, there is a new movement in the mental hospital, and Perfect World has issued an order, and they will take action in three days." Su Lan spoke quickly.
Huang Shang frowned slightly, there were unknown ruins in the mental hospital that they had marked as S-class, and the perfect world had not made a move for a long time, so there must be something to worry about.
It was an extremely dangerous operation, but it was crucial.
The mysterious ruins that Perfect World has coveted for a long time must also be very important to his side, and Huang Shang immediately made a decision: "Let's go now and uncover the secrets of the mental hospital before they arrive." β
"That's what I thought too." Su Lan's spirit was shocked: "The bronze beasts are recovering well, I will gather them over now." β
......
Two SUVs sped down the road, crushing the xenomorphs that pounced on them to death, and everyone led by Huang Shang was fully armed and carrying plenty of ammunition and drove towards the destination.
There were only one man and one woman left in the base, and this operation could almost be said to be a nest of people, although there were ten people in total, five of them were overrunners, and it was difficult to trap them even if they encountered a wave of xenomorphs.
"Boss, where are we going?" Fang Li felt very puzzled, along the way, whether it was the boss or the military lady, they all looked serious and silent.
"Go to a psychiatric hospital and look at your head when the time comes, otherwise you will easily die." Huang Shang said in a low voice.
"Could it be that we are going to save those crazy people?!" Fang Li was a little confused.
"Of course not... There is an enemy attack! Su Lan shouted, directly moved the handbrake, the SUV braked quickly from a high-speed state, and the tires rubbed against the asphalt road, exuding a strong smell of burning.
The moment the car stopped, a huge figure swooped down, but fortunately, the brake was in time, and the monster rubbed its head against the front windshield, knocking the electric pole on the side of the road in half.
With an angry roar, the mutant monster showed its sharp claws, and looking along the moonlight, it was actually a cheetah larger than the size of an off-road vehicle!
The cheetah's body is covered with blue-gold hard armor, glowing in the moonlight, its muscles all over its body are bursting, and its alienated claws and fangs are even thicker than human arms.
Clearly, this is a mutant head in a state of starvation.
"Quick, shoot it!" Su Lan was shocked, half of his body exposed the car window, and he wanted to pour out his firepower.
"Shhββ!h Huang Shang grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her back to the car.
The treacherous mutant Shadow Leopard that pounced on him earlier failed to strike, roared angrily, and his body was prostrate, but his huge head was looking in the opposite direction of the car.
This left everyone scratching their heads.
"Could it be that this leopard is crazy? There's nothing in front of it but the road! The bronze beast urn asked angrily, "Isn't it supposed to face us?" β
"Shhhh The gun in Fang Li's hand tightened.
"No, there's something." Huang Shang subconsciously hung up the reverse gear, and the car slowly retreated backwards, "And it's very strong." β
I saw that the shadow leopard's body was pressed extremely low, and a menacing roar came out of its throat, warning the unknown creatures in front of it.
"Whoa, whoaββ!"
Suddenly, a terrible scream came out of the throat of the shadow leopard, and the scene ahead made everyone's pupils shrink, and everyone held their breath.
As the surface cracked, a large, slender stem broke through the ground and slammed into the Shadow Leopard's chest, cutting through its hard flesh and revealing Sensen's skeleton and internal organs.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the shadow leopard endured severe pain, his limbs tensed, and instantly jumped ten meters high, but the thick stem-like thing seemed to have eyes, extending from the ground continuously, and in just an instant, it caught up with the shadow leopard in mid-air.
The head of the stem suddenly cracked into four petals, spewing out disgusting mucus, and the inside of the stem was more like the mouthparts of an ancient octopus, covered with fine and sharp barbs, each of which was half a meter long, and swallowed the shadow leopard directly in one gulp.
The four-petaled stem closed again, and the head kept squeezing, more like chewing, and the devoured shadow leopard was doing a dying struggle, causing the stem to sway back and forth, and the latter still did not give up, making a humane choking motion, and the huge shadow leopard completely lost its breath inside the stem, and finally followed the long stem, transporting nutrients to the ground.
A shadow leopard, no less than a mutated giant crocodile, was devoured alive!
"Quick, back off!"
Huang Shang frowned and stepped on the accelerator to the end, he was now very sure that he had driven the car to the hunting range of this mutant plant!
Clickββ!
The sound of breaking through the ground came again, Huang Shang's heart sank, and this time the sound came from the chassis of the car.
"Get out of the car for me!" Huang Shang roared hard.
In the blink of an eye, all the people in the two cars quickly rolled out, and the moment they escaped from the car, the huge stem from the previous one came out directly from the bottom of the car, lifting the SUV into the air, and then splitting into four petals as concocted, swallowing the SUV into the long stem!
