Chapter 19 General II
There were also a few barely legible notes on the walls, all of which were stray sentiments, nothing more than complaining about work and cursing the supervisor. But there were still a few notes that caught Sue's attention. After reading them carefully, Sue arranged the notes in chronological order and read them again.
“…… Damn, they canceled my vacation and didn't even inform me when I could take it off! Curse them! Also, what happened to the sudden shaking the other day? I thought the volcano under the sea was going to erupt! ”
“…… Today I moved a box of stuff to the fourth floor. It seems that this thing is very important, because Director Cornell actually watched me move it himself. He's the head of the base! I've been working here for a few years, and this is the first time I've gone down to the fourth floor, and I was allowed to go up to the second floor before...... However, they still didn't tell me when I could take a vacation! ”
“…… A very relaxing week, nothing at all. The base is no longer as wet as it used to be, but it's getting too dry again. Curse those guys who fix air conditioners! I've been feeling very unwell these days, maybe it's time to go to the doctor. ”
"I had nightmares for days on end, as if something was growing in my body. You can feel them even when you're awake! My God! But the doctor was very busy, and after a week's appointment, I knew he couldn't take care of a little person like me. Hopefully I'll last another week......"
“…… Tomorrow is the time to make an appointment with the doctor, but I don't think I will make it to tomorrow. I can be sure that something must be hiding in my body! I can feel it......"
“…… Suddenly, I found that there were many fewer people in the base. The cursed director hadn't seen it for a long time. They must be hiding something from me......"
After reading the notes, Medirri swung her heavy sword, completely dissecting the Administrator's squirming upper body. All human organs in his chest cavity were gone, replaced by a purple-black organ that filled the entire chest, from which many thin tentacles protruded, leading to all parts of his body and to his fingertips. It appears that these tentacles are manipulating the movements of the Administrator's body. But the middle of the massive organ was empty, and a torn gash could be seen on the administrator's back, as if something had come out of it.
Su searched the room carefully and found nothing of value. He looked at the Administrator's dissected body, groaned, and said, "It seems that he has become a sojourn for the larvae of some kind of creature." Let's be a little more careful and pay attention to the preservation of the body. ”
"Don't worry, I'm about to have a new fifth-order ability." The girl said.
After walking out of the administrator's duty room, the entire warehouse was silent, except for the regular wriggling meat tubes, there was not a single xenobiotic beast in sight, as if they were all hiding. Even the few follicles that were pregnant with the embryo stopped agitating, as if they were afraid of attracting Sue's attention.
Su thought about the layout of the base and walked towards the emergency exit of the warehouse. This small side door connects two passages, a maintenance elevator and an emergency escape staircase. The complex terrain was undoubtedly in favor of Sue.
Su took out a wire that she found out of nowhere, pulled it horizontally at the door, and then reached out and pushed the side door open. As soon as the door opened, he flashed aside.
A strong gale suddenly erupted from the open security door, and an xenomorph swooped into the warehouse at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye! It has apparently been lurking for a long time, just waiting for its prey to drop the trap before delivering the fatal blow! However, the long-standing pounce made it fall into Sue's trap instead, and its body slammed into two thin steel wires, and the violent momentum completely stretched and deformed the steel wires, and then collapsed. Although its flesh is very tough, the steel wire still takes a huge toll on it when it is slammed at full speed. Its head had been cut in half, and the wire that had been pinched into its chest had completely severed its sharp forelimbs.
The xenobiotic spewed a large amount of blood and planted it on the ground, and it struggled to get up, only to have its forelimbs completely detached from its body.
Su walked over to the xenobiotic beast and was about to inspect it, when he suddenly turned around and looked into the passage. It wasn't just one xenomorph that was ambushing in the passage, the other xenomorph had already entered the warehouse silently, and at this moment it was leaping into the air, showing its huge teeth like a blade, and rushing towards Su with all its might!
Sue didn't dodge, but took a step forward. There happened to be a metal pipe where he landed, and he was kicked by Su's toes, and suddenly stood up diagonally as if it were his own life, and the sharp edge made of oblique cutting was pointing at the chest of the xenobiotic beast!
With a soft thud, the xenobiotic beast pierced the steel pipe without any suspense, and the pain made it roar like crazy, constantly trying in vain to pounce on Sue with its claws. And Su had already retreated, how could he give it such a chance?
The third xenobiotic rushed in again. It was much smaller, much faster, and rushed in like a lizard against the ceiling. It shot towards Su like an arrow, and you could vaguely see that the eight wings were vibrating violently, and the mouthparts of the insect-like were opened to the extreme, and then a thin stream of venom was spewed!
The moment the venom sprayed, Sue's skin felt a slight tingling, an instinctive sense of danger. He knew immediately that the venom was not easy to deal with, and it was no joke to let it splash a little. Sue slid several meters to the side, out of the way of Venom's spray.
Just as the poisonous insect was about to squirt out a second mouthful of venom, a flat alloy steel suddenly appeared in front of the compound eye! The unsuspecting poisonous insect crashed headlong without any suspense, and the damage of the impact under the terrifying high speed was unbelievably great, causing its head to deflat, and all the venom that had just been sprayed out was suffocated back into its mouthparts.
With a muffled sound, the poisonous insects bounced out like cannonballs, refracting back and forth on the ceiling, walls, and floors several times before falling to the ground. In a short period of time, most of its completely deformed head had disappeared, and large patches of fine foam continued to emerge, and a thick cyan mist rose. Through the mist, its internal tissues, along with its hard exoskeleton, can be seen rapidly melting and disappearing, apparently due to the venom. The venom that missed at the other end sprayed onto the wall, and a few drops of venom, which seemed inconspicuous in amount, eroded through the wall made of mixed materials and alloy slabs in less than a few seconds.
"Corrosive venom seems to be only effective when it comes into contact with air. If you come to a group of people with this kind of thing, it's going to be a problem! Su said with some solemnity.
The power of venom is so great that Su doesn't dare to splash it, no matter how strong his flesh regeneration ability is, it can't compare to the speed of venom corrosion. Although the poisonous insect is not large, it is also more than a meter long. In a small underground base, if there are a dozen or so poisonous insects, it will be crowded. And the splash of venom can become extremely difficult to dodge. The venom also has obvious lethality to themselves after leaving the body, but the common sense obtained from the Dragoon Headquarters let Su know that this kind of alien creature or biochemical weapon that has been created is not afraid of death.
"There will always be a group of such things, because the power of the monomer is still insufficient." Medirli swung her sword, the thing that had served as a barricade. But the price was also terrible, and the alloy epee was even twisted and deformed due to the force of the impact. Her hands were also shattered, oozing blood. The venom stained on the surface of the sword is still sneering at the sword body, and even the heavy sword with a special anti-corrosion design cannot resist the venom and is eroded into pits. However, when she spoke, the girl's expression was relaxed and happy, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.
Looking at the girl's radiant little face, Su couldn't help but be speechless. If the swarm of poisonous insects is a big threat to him, it is a mortal threat to Medirri now, why is she so happy?
After changing from a girl to a girl, Medirri's mood became noticeably complicated, and many times Sue couldn't guess what she was thinking.
Looking at the poisonous insects that were still struggling, Sue gestured to Medirli and said, "Let's go, let's clean this floor first." These guys who didn't know where they developed are very difficult to deal with, and they seem to have to do their best. ”
Sue's all-out fight doesn't necessarily mean hand-to-hand combat with alien creatures, it's a last resort when you're so strong that you're close to being defenseless than you can defend against an enemy. Powerful regeneration is not invincible, at least Medirri's Concussion Sword is a killer against regeneration.
A real all-out battle is a battle that uses a qiē terrain and means to strike at the enemy. The fleshy substrate membranes and pipelines all over the underground base pose a great obstacle and interference to Su's perception ability, and the scope of the panorama has been repeatedly compressed, and the detection range is not even 500 meters, and if it goes down, it can only detect the range of the three underground floors, and the three underground floors are already very blurry, and can only roughly perceive the layout of the building.
However, this is completely enough for Sue. As long as you master the structural layout of the first floor and all the passages leading to the first floor on the second floor, Sue can turn this area into her own home turf!
For the rest of the day, Su led Medirri through the research base like a cloud, and every qiē she could use at hand was used, and a steel wire, an iron sheet, or even a piece of wooden stick would turn into a very simple but ingenious trap in less than a second. They don't require much lethality, they are meant to limit or delay the actions of all sorts of alien creatures. As soon as the movement stops for a moment, these alien creatures will lose their lives in an instant. Sue's twin short-bladed and high-powered pistols are both weapons that can easily harvest lives, but they are not as efficient as Medirli's heavy sword. Each of the girl's movements is concise and clear, with only a few actions of horizontal swings, vertical slashes, and straight stabs, and it doesn't take any extra strength at all. Even before the alien creatures stepped into the trap, Medirli seemed to know their movements, and the heavy sword was waiting where it should be. This is an extremely terrifying combat intuition and anticipation ability, which is completely different from Sue's reliance on omnipresent perception and instantaneous reactions to kill and damage enemies. If Sue can only see the enemy's next move, then Medirli can see the following three or four steps.
Soon, all the alien creatures on the first floor were wiped out by Sue and Medirli, who were at full strength. After using the blood of poisonous insects to pour on their heads to eliminate a group of alien creatures rushing up from the second underground floor, the first floor finally ushered in a brief silence.
In the deepest part of the underground base, in a space completely shrouded in darkness, the Juggernaut seemed to sense something, slowly waking up, but slowly closing his eyes.
"I'll go and bring them to you." In the deep darkness, a voice as gentle as water sounded.
Hearing this, the Juggernaut seemed to settle down at once, and said softly, "Go, my general." ”
After a brief conversation, the deepest underground is quiet and dark again.
