The surrounding barns slowly slid down. The word can only be used to slip, because the barn, which was still relatively strong, has silently turned into some kind of ashes. It's as if it's been going through hundreds of millions of years and decaying. A full-body ** figure slowly walked out of the ruins.

At this time, in the helicopter that landed in a forced landing, everyone crawled out in disgrace. The commander didn't even glance at what was happening in front of him. Pick up the walkie-talkie that is still intact and call for support. After noticing that there was no signal, he threw down the walkie-talkie and dragged it out of the spare armed box on the helicopter. A military rocket launcher was taken out of it. Everyone watched his movements in a daze, not reflecting what he was going to do.

"What are you doing? Do you still want to lie down and wait for an ambulance? This is war, children, can you start your spirit. ”

The members, who were still a little dazed, suddenly felt embarrassed. Although it is not known what exactly this commander has experienced. But judging from everyone's performance just now, the other party really blew up everyone on the helicopter. In any case, the other party is able to make the most decisive and correct decision.

Before everyone finished arming, they already felt that the sense of oppression was getting closer and closer. Looking up, the naked apostle had already walked in front of their eyes less than fifty meters away. In the middle of the night, there is no moonlight. But the fire caused by the helicopter after it fell still made people see the figure clearly.

Despite appearing to be in the form of a human. But no one thinks it's human at such moments. As the other person gets closer, every organ in the body is like a brain issuing a warning. That was a warning of danger. It seems that under this oppression, the primitive sixth sense in the bones of human beings has awakened again.

There was a whistling sound in my ears. That's the sound of RPGs flying by. The commander didn't even give any warning, it was just a rocket.

The apostle did not make the slightest dodge move. Hit directly by a rocket head-on. Violent explosions and flames drowned it out. But the commander didn't show the slightest expression of joy. Instead, he threw down the bazooka and said a word.

"Run."

Then he fled the scene without looking back. Everyone was stunned for a while, but then they reacted. This thing is supposed to be an apostle of a higher level than the aberration. According to the predetermined plan, it was supposed to be fought by the army. Therefore, everyone decisively turned around and began to run.

By the time they caught up with the commander, they had already managed to start a pickup truck. Everyone understood and jumped into the truck. But then I heard a sound of breaking the air overhead. When I looked up, I saw a figure passing overhead. It fell heavily in front of the truck.

An extremely disgusting appearance. The other party was like a ball of jam, sticky and fell to the ground. But then the tissues on the ground squirmed, and in less than ten seconds, they reformed into a humanoid form.

The apostle made no other moves, as if he was merely observing them. But the commander did not hesitate at all, stepped on the accelerator and galloped away in the other direction.

"I don't think we'll be able to outrun it."

"I know I can't run. But those who stay die faster. See the look in his eyes? It's not looking at life, it's looking at food, at best a little special. I've fought them more than once. Trust me, when you come across that thing. There are only two options, kill it. Or run. The current situation is that we can't run away, but we can drag on for a second. The military must have known that we had an accident. All we have to do is live until help arrives. Now that you have a weapon in your hand, you can open fire. Don't let that thing come near us. ”

The firepower of the automatic weapon did not seem to have had the slightest effect on the apostles. It just used some kind of weird bouncing force to follow the car unhurriedly. Its body appears to be a fluid solidification. It can be constantly twisted and changed to combine into a variety of different organs. You can even quickly conjure up a group of wings in mid-air and glide for a while. And when he lands, he will take on a human form again.

"What the fuck is that?"

"I don't know, but it's what Daniel said, called an apostle."

"It doesn't look as scary as it seems. Except for being able to change the body at will, there's nothing special about it. ”

"No, that's what makes it scary. You've just been brainwashed by third-rate Hollywood sci-fi films. Its body is not a mere change. Instead, it is quickly evolved and fine-tuned according to various different situations to achieve the purpose of being more suitable for the actual situation. If it can store memories of all sorts of different modules, then this may be the most terrifying creature we've ever encountered. It's more than a notch above those aberrations. It's a near-perfect creature, and if it's given time to grow, it might become a 'god'. ”

"But I don't understand why it doesn't attack us, it just follows us."

"...... look at your phone."

"What? There is no signal on the phone. It seems to be able to block out electronic signals. Wait a minute, it seems like there's a signal. ”

"I see, it's fishing. Waiting for our reinforcements. That thing, it's testing the strength of our human beings. ”

"I don't understand, no matter how you look at it, he's a living organism. Is it possible to block the attack of cluster fire? ”

"We humans have almost zero understanding of supercreatures. But if the apostles had this ability, purely imaginary, I could now think of more than one way to counter the armed forces of the human beings called the Formation. I hope it doesn't come to mind. ”

The roar of helicopters was heard in the sky. Thousands of meters away, the helicopter gunships opened fire. More than a dozen rockets roared in, directly drowning the apostle behind the truck in a sea of fire.

"Does it work?"

"Impossible, you forgot. I've used this attack in the beginning. It must have evolved a corresponding defense mode. ”

Sure enough, a figure in the flames crossed out high. It fell heavily to the ground. It was a huge ball of flesh, and when it fell to the ground, it bounced off the ground a few times like a leather ball. And then he regained his human form. At the moment of the explosion, the apostle transformed his body into a state of some kind of meat ball with ultra-high elasticity. This is used to avoid the damage of the blast wave.

At the same time, the armored forces on the ground also arrived, and first a burst of artillery fire drove the opponent back. Then a dozen soldiers, armed with a strange weapon similar to a frisbee launcher, rushed out. A dozen discs with flashing lights were ejected by them. It fell evenly around the apostles.

A blinding blue light flashed. Immediately afterward, more than a dozen huge balls of lightning swelled up. Countless frenzied arcs of lightning enveloped the apostle in its entirety.

This very sci-fi scene shocked John and others, who escaped with the commander.

"What's that?"

"Plasma bombs. When it explodes, it is capable of releasing a huge amount of electric arcs. Multiple can be used at the same time to form a huge plasma field. In between, tens of thousands of degrees of heat are generated, as well as an electric field effect. A weapon specifically against living organisms. Originally, there was no real combat significance, because there is no life on Earth that is worth attacking with such flashy weapons. But this is no longer the case, and the apostles are clearly a good target. ”

The commander's tone was a little relaxed, and it was clear that he still had some confidence in the plasma bomb. It's just that in the next second, his voice froze. I saw that the arc effect was gradually subsiding, and a figure that looked a little broken was slowly standing in it.

The apostle slowly stretched his body. Large chunks of necrotic tissue, detached from its body. Then there was a rapid regeneration, and soon a new body appeared in front of everyone's eyes again.

"This can't be, that level of plasma and high temperature should kill all its cells, right?"

At this time, the apostle finally had a counterattack. I saw it slowly raise its right hand. At this point, its right hand has become a large tube, and there seem to be some subtle organs inside it that are constantly changing. At the same time, a trace of blue electric light flickered in the tubular arm.

"It's simulating the effect of a plasma cannon, and it's flashing away."

A dazzling flash of lightning flashed, but it didn't really hit anyone. Because the electric light dissipates just as it leaves the arm. The startled soldiers reacted at this time.

"I see, it's not a panacea. In a split second, it understood the principle of the plasma effect. But there is one thing I don't know, plasma bombs cannot be fired directly. Because the positive and negative electrodes of the particles that make up the plasma ball are different, once they are separated from its arm, they will scatter and escape. Therefore, it is not possible to release the plasma in a directional direction unless the plasma ball is bound with some kind of lattice constriction channel. ”

"Are you really the commander of the army? Isn't that something a tactical commander can explain? ”

"I am a military scientific advisor to the Manhattan Project. Dr. Strange. At the same time, he was also trained as a tactical commander. ”

"The plan to build an atomic bomb?"

"It's not just the atomic bomb. The Manhattan Project was intended to be the development of conceptual weapons that were ahead of their time. Regardless of the cost, and even in many cases, the actual combat is not considered, just to accumulate technology and experience. When the basic technology climbs to a corresponding level, we will avoid many detours. The previous plasma bomb was our product. This time, I volunteered to come and get up close and personal with the aberrations. Hopefully, it will be possible to identify their weaknesses. ”

And at this time, some soldiers introduced a completely new set of weapons. It was a radar-like thing that resembled a pot-shaped antenna.

"That's one of our achievements, infrasonic weapons. Able to disrupt the sensory system of living organisms at the cellular level. At this point, Strange seemed to remember something.

"Wait a minute, you can't use this weapon."

But it was too late, and the soldier had already quickly turned on his weapons. A high-frequency decibel impact that is difficult for the human ear to distinguish.

Strange, on the other hand, turned around and got into a Humvee. Everyone watching looked confused.

"If you don't want to die, come with me. Ultrasound is much easier to imitate than plasma. ”

The ultrasound apparently injured the apostle. It fell to the ground, curled up, and made a protective motion. At the same time, the skin around its body rapidly sheds and dies. The ultrasound quickly destroys the top layer of its skin. But this process decays rapidly. After less than a minute, its body tissues stopped necrosis and apparently adapted to the destruction. Once again, the apostle stood up. At this point, ultrasound has no effect on it.

That's when the armored forces felt that something was wrong. They began to retreat in some panic as various thermal weapons poured out.

In the flames, I saw the apostle take a deep breath, just like the lion's roar in the movie, and let out a long roar. This is not a mere imitation like the one that came before. It's a literal, ultra-high-decibel noise. In just a few minutes, the Apostle had evolved from mere imitation to modifying the attack according to his own philosophy.

The furious sound instantly drowned out all the sound of artillery fire. The soldier at the front felt only a violent shock to his head, followed by a strong feeling of dizziness and nausea.

The sound wave swept through the entire ground force in an instant, and all the soldiers fell to the ground in unison as if they were cutting wheat. The ultra-high decibel sound waves directly destroyed their eardrums and affected the nerves of their balance system. The sound waves also cause a large number of capillaries in their brains to burst. This means that all the soldiers on the scene are actually in a state of mild cerebral hemorrhage.

John and the others, who had already escaped hundreds of meters, were also strongly impacted. Fortunately, this is a sonic attack, and it always has to conform to the laws of physics. As the distance increases, it has been greatly weakened. Dr. Strange endured the feeling of vertigo and drove on.

However, at this time, the situation that made them desperate appeared. As you can see from the rearview mirror, the apostle did not pay attention to the soldiers who fell to the ground, but instead jumped up, and a huge group of wings flew towards them.

"Damn, it's catching up."

"I see that it has now accumulated enough strain modules. We're already having a hard time dealing with it. ”

Dr. Strange pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned the wheel around and headed in the other direction. It is famous as a desert no-man's land in Maine.

"What are you doing, it's not the road to the city."

"Not really, it's a desert area."

"You...... Do you want to die with it? But we simply can't do it. ”

"We really can't, but we have two F22s above our heads. They carry light nuclear weapons. The Apostle may be able to structure itself to combat the blast wave. But there will always be a limit. The nuclear bomb exploded enough to go beyond the limits of its defenses and kill it completely. I'm sorry, friends. We need to make a choice. ”

And what they don't know is that it's in the direction they're traveling. In the vast desert, a group of people in strange robes suddenly appeared in the desert.

One of the men at the head took a deep breath.

"There is an oppressive and dark force in the air that is gradually penetrating. Is this the world of teachers? Sure enough, we're on the verge of apocalypse. ”
