Chapter 472: A false alarm
In addition to the foul smell emitted by the green fluorescent eggs, the green acid on the surface of the eggs also seemed to emit bursts of acid mist that seemed to cause some kind of bad association, even if these stenches and acid mist were blocked by the highly protective individual armor, which was very uncomfortable.
And Ike and a dozen or so people are walking forward in this egg bush at this moment. They half-crouched on the ground and walked forward, their bodies covered by the alien egg bush, and they carried the smell of alien blood, so the aliens naturally couldn't find them.
From narrowly escaping from the pursuit of the alien mother just now, to now searching for a way around, they have been walking for almost dozens of minutes.
There were quite a lot of xenomorphic clumps in this cave, and there were so many that some places were simply impossible to see, but fortunately they had not been stopped by xenomorphic clumps along the way of their escape. These alien egg clusters have simply become the lighting equipment here, and in this situation of green light everywhere, Ike and the others directly turned off the night vision devices and walked around under the green light.
Zhen Wuyu followed closely behind Ike without saying a word, and when Ike in front suddenly stopped and made a gesture backwards, everyone immediately stopped.
There was a faint hissing sound around them, which made people even more nervous in such a xenomorph lair, knowing that once they messed with an alien, it meant that they had a alien mother.
Because the alien mothers inside this nest are territorial, each individual has its own large area of spawning ground, and most of the aliens in these spawning grounds are the offspring they have spawned. And this is the real reason why the three strong pulse armored dragons trembled before.
At this moment, they were walking in front of another alien mother's lair, as the number of eggs in the place increased. And the hissing sound just now should have been made by the alien mother.
In their previous encounters, they had already known that the roar of this maternal alien was very shocking, and it was basically the kind that would make people unconscious without a single armored hood. And now the roar is very low, which means that the alien mother is far away from them. They are safe for the time being.
But even so, it needs to be treated with care, because the various senses of the advanced alien matrix are very sensitive. The vision was even more terrifying, so Ike paused for a moment.
Motioning for the others not to move, Ike quietly leaned out half of his body, searching around for traces of the alien.
His ultra-distant vision is also very sensitive. At this moment, it is almost like a Terminator mechanical guard looking for a target of destruction. It's a pity that the surveyor data provided by "Saiko" has been temporarily lost, otherwise it would be more like.
Ike quickly spotted the xenomorph, the xenomorph mother was lying on top of a row of xenomorph eggs, and its sheer size and weight did not crush the eggs. Its body was still slowly moving over the alien egg, and some green mucus was oozing from the place where its abdomen was.
The Xenomorph Mother is charging the Xenomorph Egg Plexus, secreting some gentle energy and faint corrosive bodily fluids from the abdominal cavity, which cover the surface of the Xenomorph Egg Plexus, which is absorbed by the Xenomorph Egg. Promote the growth and development of aliens.
This gentle way of development is more capable of cultivating a large number of high-quality alien progeny. And the speed is not slow, generally one batch can be cultivated in a day. And the aliens cultivated in this way are also more powerful than the previous aliens that grew sharply after absorbing energy weapons and broke out of their eggs, after all, that kind of growth method is too fast, even for the aliens, it is a deformed development mode.
Ike stared at the massive head of the alien mother as he beckoned the others to follow in his footsteps and burrow through a vertical row of alien eggs.
Under Ike's leadership, they were always able to hide in the blind spots of the alien mother, and they would not worry about being discovered by the alien mother who was constantly circling and wriggling around the alien egg.
After walking like this for 1 minute, they are about to step out of this dense egg cluster and into other sparse egg cluster locations.
However, at this time, Ike and Zhen Wuyu, who were in the front row, didn't know that a very cheating thing happened behind them, which directly exposed them.
One of the Blue Guards in the back row, as he walked through the egg bush area, suddenly several crisp cracking sounds were heard.
Several alien eggs cracked at the same time, and in the cracked cracks, some small knife legs began to diffract, which looked hairy. The cracking of the egg clump must have been heard by the alien mother, but even if it did, it wouldn't take it too seriously and wouldn't turn its head around.
But if several newborn xenomorphs roar at the same time, it will probably focus its attention here and recharge them. And once something like this happens, Ike and they are in danger.
In such a situation, the Blue Guards have two options. One is to directly cover several egg clusters with his hands, as Ike did before, temporarily suppressing them from making sounds; The other is to speed through the area.
Due to the limited speed of the entire team, and the fact that the second method was prone to produce loud noises to attract the attention of the alien matrix, this Blue Guard naturally chose the first method.
He immediately stopped, covering all the cracks in the clump of eggs, but his hand barely covered half of them due to the seven or eight alien eggs in total.
The other half of the heterotypic eggs were nearly split, revealing some bare sacs from the inside, and their surfaces emitted green fluorescence.
Seeing such a scene, the Blue Guard immediately arrived at something wrong, and before these uncovered aliens could completely come out and emit a roar, he immediately withdrew his palms and began to move his body, rushing towards the others who were already almost ten meters away from him.
But just as he stepped forward and was about to lunge forward, a change of urgency occurred.
With a louder crunch than before, the eggs burst open in an instant, but this time it was unlike any before.
At the same time as the eggs burst, a large stream of green acid splattered out of the inside, and the acid covered the Blue Guard's entire body in an instant.
The acid poured on the individual armor, making a series of sounds, and the extremely defensive individual armor was corroded all at once, revealing the human flesh.
"Uhhh Instantly corroded by the acid, the Blue Guards let out an uncontrollable scream, and then the short scream came to an abrupt end.
In a flash, the Blue Guard was so corroded by a green corrosive liquid that his bones were gone, and where he was, several green molten spiders that had broken out of their eggs landed on the ground, crawling happily.
This is the egg that produces the molten pulp spider, so the inside of the egg shell naturally contains a lot of high-temperature corrosive molten pulp secreted by themselves, and the corrosive nature of this molten pulp is even much stronger than that of the molten spider when it becomes an adult, of course, it is inferior in terms of temperature, so the Blue Guard is naturally unlucky to be completely corroded by it.
"Oops, we're exposed!" At the moment when this scream came out, everyone's faces sank, and they immediately turned away.
Because they didn't know what was going on, they thought that an alien had attacked the team, but when they saw the green molten slurry that was still emitting white smoke all over the ground, Ike immediately realized what was happening.
"Run!" He drank to everyone at once, and at the same time led the way to run forward, rounding a large cluster of eggs.
"Roar~Ahhhh
The alien mother, it had spotted it in an instant.
As the ground shook, before Ike and the others could break out of the alien egg bush, countless fine particles suddenly gushed out around them, which had blocked their way, making the road surface potholed and unstable.
They are all self-detonating spiders, these self-detonating spider swarms block their way, and with the sound of "bang" and "bang", the bodies of these self-detonating spiders burst open. The explosion caused some damage to their individual armor, but the individual armor was monolithic, so it didn't matter.
These abominable little things!
This was the only thing on the minds of all the team members at this time, and they had to stop in place while taking out the energy weapon from the space backpack and shooting it around.
The branches of the alien nest with a green background suddenly reflected the red, blue, and white energy, and the rays and pulses flew in all directions, killing the self-exploding spiders.
Their firepower was very fierce, directly resisting the attacks of these aliens, and while resisting, Ike and the others were also closely and nervously watching the alien matrix in the field.
If it had attacked, they would have all been killed in an instant, so Ike had figured out how to deal with the situation and was ready to fire the bullet at any time.
But this alien mother, unexpectedly, did not attack, it just kept roaring, while summoning various self-detonating spider swarms, it also moved its body to those eggs that were affected by energy rays.
It's protecting those alien eggs.
It suddenly became clear to Ike, as long as it didn't provoke the alien mother, it would only summon a swarm of self-exploding spiders and other aliens to attack, instead of using acid spitting, after all, the spit would also kill a large number of alien eggs. (To be continued......)
PS: That's all for today, tomorrow is three chapters of 9000 words, which can be regarded as an explosion.
