Chapter 13: A Fight for Life and Death
Originally, in Chu Xun's opinion, it was impossible for the alien to defeat this group of mutant dogs no matter what. After all, the strength and speed of the alien do not have an absolute advantage in the face of these mutant dogs, and the tough exoskeleton armor may not be able to withstand the bite of the mutant dogs' fangs.
His only hope is that the aliens can inflict enough damage and damage on these mutant dogs to make them afraid and retreat.
However, it wasn't until Chu Xun moved his gaze to the battlefield of the alien and mutant dogs that he truly understood that he still underestimated this perfect killing machine after all.
No matter how small a lion is, it can't be compared to a cat. As the king of sci-fi killing, how could an alien be defeated by a group of earth dogs?
At this moment, the dozen or so mutant dogs that originally besieged the alien were already dead and wounded, and suffered heavy losses, and the entire ground was full of corpses and blood of mutant dogs, and the only two remaining mutant dogs were also covered in scaly wounds, extremely embarrassed.
At this moment, the two mutant dogs were constantly roaring at the alien, but they didn't dare to get half a step closer to the alien, but retreated slightly, obviously preparing to escape.
To Chu Xun's surprise, most of the fatal injuries on the corpses of these mutant dogs were not lacerations or penetrating wounds, and they were obviously not killed by the aliens with their inner nest teeth, claws, or long tails.
He took a closer look and found that most of the wounds on the mutant dogs were charred black and rotten, as if they had been corroded by some kind of strong acid or high temperature. These corrosive wounds were terrifying, and the worst of the mutant dogs had even their entire heads corroded, and the filthy remains looked extremely disgusting.
"This is ......" Seeing this scene, Chu Xun's eyes suddenly lit up. Indeed, he ignored a very important problem, that is, the biggest killer feature of the alien - strong acid blood!
According to the plot of the movie, the alien blood is super corrosive, and even the super-strength alloys on the spaceship will quickly dissolve in the face of the corrosion of the alien blood. And although the bodies of these mutant dogs are still quite strong, how can they resist this kind of strong acid blood that can be easily corroded by even super-strong alloys?
And the fact is indeed as Chu Xun expected, at the beginning of the battle, the mutant dogs did have an advantage, they relied on their superiority in numbers and strength to completely suppress the alien, and then used their sharp fangs to tear through the alien's exoskeleton armor, causing the alien to be bruised all over his body.
However, they don't know that their actions are tantamount to opening Pandora's box, and the alien is indeed injured, but the acidic blood that flows out has become its most terrifying killing weapon. The mutant dogs that bit on the alien body were corroded by the strong acid blood almost immediately, and the entire mouth and even the head were corroded, and there were heavy casualties.
And then, the alien used the killing weapons of strong acid, long tail, sharp grasp, and fangs to start a crazy counterattack. In the face of such an enemy who could not get close and would be corroded by strong acid if they got close, these mutant dogs had no room to resist at all, and most of them were killed and injured in the blink of an eye, and finally the scene that Chu Xun saw now appeared.
"Whew!" After a moment of stalemate, the two mutant dogs finally couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts, let out a whine, turned and fled deeper into the woods.
They will never dare to face this terrible demon again!
Instead of pursuing, the xenomorphs let out a low roar and began devouring the corpses of the mutant dogs.
Killing 1,000 enemies and self-inflicting 800 losses, although the alien successfully killed more than a dozen mutant dogs, it itself was also covered in scaly wounds, and it looked miserable. Perhaps caused by the hunting instinct of the canine creatures, the worst wounds on the Xenomorph's body were on its head and neck, where most of the exoskeleton armor had been torn apart, revealing the black muscles underneath the carapace, from which a little blood gushed out, dripping on the ground, and then dissolving the ground into bottomless pits in the sound of corrosion, wisps of white smoke wafting out of the pits.
In addition, the alien's right leg was also seriously injured, and there was not much exoskeleton armor covered there, which had been completely torn at the moment, and most of the thigh muscles had been torn off. A large amount of acidic blood poured out, and it had corroded the ground around it into a large circular crater.
"It seems that we are really a pair of difficult brothers......" Looking at the alien who was covered in bruises and extremely embarrassed, Chu Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this moment, the combat effectiveness of him and the alien has dropped to a low point, and if there is another enemy, then he will be unlucky.
And even if he doesn't come to the enemy, I'm afraid that with his current injuries, he won't last long. After all, at this moment, its right arm has almost been scrapped, not only the bones are injured, but also a large number of muscles have been torn off by the sharp teeth of the mutant dog, and blood is pouring out continuously, coupled with the claw marks on his body that are deep and bone-seeing, it is estimated that it will not be long before he dies due to excessive blood loss.
"It's fucking unlucky...... Because of excessive blood loss, Chu Xun already felt a trace of dizziness in his mind.
Feeling that his body was getting weaker and weaker, Chu Xun couldn't help but sigh. He had thought that with the help of the aliens, coupled with his far superior strength, he should be able to successfully reach the danger zone and find the right insect genes. It's just that now it seems that he still far underestimated the horror outside the city, he was seriously injured and dying before he got close to the danger zone, if he entered the danger zone, wouldn't he be dead without a corpse?
The phrase "There is a lot of danger outside the city, and there are corpses everywhere" is too appropriate, maybe it won't be long before I become a member of this corpse everywhere......
"Shhh As if sensing Chu Xun's weakness and helplessness, the alien who was devouring the mutant dog suddenly raised his head, and then limped towards him.
It seems that the alien can recover from his injuries by devouring his prey, and after devouring many mutant dogs, the alien's injuries have not yet healed, but at least they are much better than they were just now. At this moment, most of the wounds on its body have stopped bleeding, except for the thigh, which has not completely healed, and acidic blood is constantly dripping down, corroding the ground to a mess.
"I really envy you, if I had a body as strong as you, I guess I wouldn't have to wait here to die now......" Chu Xun struggled slightly, but felt a dizziness in his head, and stumbled and fell on top of the corpse of the mutant dog. He was injured too badly, even worse than when he was dealing with Qingyi......
"Shhh I don't know if I understood Chu Xunde's words, the alien let out a hiss again, and then slowly squatted down and guarded Chu Xunde's side.
"It's really a perfect killing machine, it's a pity, you follow a master like me who is going to die, otherwise the prestige of the alien will definitely spread throughout this world......" Under the sunlight, the remaining exoskeleton carapace on the alien's body reflected a little light, which looked extremely gorgeous. Chu Xun looked at this perfect creature and felt a burst of amazement again.
Whether it is the mode of reproduction, the way of parasitism, or the way of metamorphosis, this creature is almost perfect, and its powerful hunting ability and almost miraculous physiological structure are also full of a strange beauty.
"Parasitic...... Transformation ......" Thinking of the segmented body structure of the alien head and abdomen, as well as the perfect parasitic transformation pattern, Chu Xun's mind suddenly flashed a glimmer of inspiration.
That's right, if he had a strong body like an alien, he probably wouldn't have died!
And with the physiological structure of the alien and the way of metamorphosis, isn't it a little similar to that of insects?
No, not similar, but exactly the same!
Isn't it just those that have a three-stage physiological structure of the head, thorax, and abdomen, and then are oviparous, and will go through a "metamorphosis" in the process of growth, and the larvae are clearly different from the adults?
Alien, exactly!
"God forbid, I hope this bet is not wrong!" After a short hesitation, Chu Xun finally clenched his teeth violently, and then put his badly damaged, almost crippled right hand on the wound on the alien leg that had not yet healed and was still dripping blood.
If you make a mistake, it's a big deal to lose a hand, and you're already a mortal anyway. And if you win the bet, then you are likely to be able to escape death and have stronger strength.
Life or death, it's a fight here!
