Chapter 52: Painted Skin Parasite!
The fourth floor of the dead shipwreck.
The deepest depths of the dark sedimentation of the entire world.
The ancient spirits of the dead awaken from their slumber, pursuing the breath of the living, as if they have crossed the wilderness of time and space, from the border of death, step by step to the afterlife.
The strange and rotten smell spilled out through the crack in the hatch.
Meng Lei only felt cold in his hands and feet for a moment.
The joy of harvest was instantly wiped out under the sense of oppression brought by the strange figure, and the whole person's scalp exploded on the spot!
"Holy! What the heck?! ”
This extremely terrifying scene happened so suddenly.
Rao is Meng Lei has always been vigilant, and has already done a good job of psychological construction in advance.
But when he saw the wriggling figure outside the hatch, he was still startled.
Because this time was different, the figure was clearly some kind of living thing.
It was not an empty wetsuit, nor was it a corpse reduced to dry bones.
Judging from the action of slamming the hatch, it is obviously very aggressive!
In the shipwreck more than 2,400 meters deep in the abyss, there really is some kind of strange humanoid creature!
This kind of thing is simply incredible!
Not to mention its body structure and density, how can it withstand such a strong deep-sea pressure.
Judging by the degree of corrosion, the submarine will have to sink for at least a few decades.
How the hell did this thing survive without a source of food?!
Isn't it possible to wait for rabbits all day long, hiding in the dark to catch fish to eat?
A series of jumping doubts flashed uncontrollably in Meng Lei's mind.
The deep incomprehension even dispelled the fear in his heart for a while.
After all the experiences in the three-layer area, Meng Lei's nerves had become a little numb.
After a brief moment of panic, he quickly regained his composure.
After all, in response to the current situation, he has also done a lot of simulations in his mind and has a certain psychological preparation.
Resistance to fear has been greatly improved.
It's just that although the sense of fear has weakened.
But the strong tension has always eroded his nerves.
In particular, there is only one hatch in this engineering cabin on all sides.
Now he was stuck in the room by the strange creature, and he had nowhere to run.
The only option is to face that monster head-on!
Thinking back to the shocking scratches I saw before, the huge force could tear even the steel plate.
If that's what the hell does.
Just this thin layer of wetsuit, isn't it like paper paste?
It's impossible to say that you are not nervous.
"This unlucky rush, before leaving, I still let Lao Tzu run into it, there should be this catastrophe in my life!"
He sighed heavily.
Meng Lei straightened his waist and his eyes froze.
Since you can't hide from it, there's no need to think about anything else.
The more you think about it, the more you will add to your own psychological burden.
Before the monster broke through the door, use the hatch as cover, strike first, and take the lead.
Perhaps, it is not without the power of a war.
Meng Lei was not an indecisive person in the first place.
Realizing this, he immediately made a decisive move.
Chest raised. The shotgun in front of him directly aimed at the strange figure at the door and pulled the trigger fiercely!
"Bang!"
A low, muffled sound burst through the silence.
A shallow flash of fire vanished.
Immediately.
Countless tiny bubbles burst from the muzzle of the gun, instantly converging into a huge air mass, expanding wildly outward!
The next moment.
A large amount of steel balls came out of the air mass, carrying a long series of bubble bullet marks in the water.
At a speed that is indistinguishable to the naked eye, it shoots lightning in the direction of the hatch!
Meanwhile.
The huge mushroom-shaped mass that had not yet expanded to its limit.
Under the action of deep-sea high pressure, it instantly collapsed inward.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it turned into a wave of qi, surging wildly ahead with the momentum of the current.
In the cabin, the sediment flying like snowflakes in the sky has not yet completely calmed down.
Under the impact of the air waves, it boiled again.
For a moment, everything in front of Meng Lei's eyes was completely engulfed by a large number of bubbles and white floating objects, and he couldn't see anything.
A second later, though.
Suddenly, there was a terrible scream from the direction of the hatch.
The sound was extremely penetrating, and it could clearly reach Meng Lei's ears through the sea water and the hood.
Obviously, Meng Lei's suppressive shot did achieve a certain effect.
Eighty percent of that weird monster was hit.
Meng Lei was overjoyed, but he was not carried away by the excitement.
He calmly loaded his load as he swam quickly in the other direction.
At the same time, he did not hesitate to pull out a brand new light stick from his backpack.
After shaking the light, he threw it towards the door with all his might.
The current area is heavily obstructed in terms of vision, and the range of light is quite limited, making it unsuitable for shooting and dodging.
He had to move to an area with a clear view in order to better deal with the monster.
However, just as Meng Lei shifted the battlefield.
The monster was struck suddenly, as if it had aroused instinctive ferocity.
The screeching sound of sharp objects scratching the door panel suddenly became louder.
The sound of metal tearing became clearer and clearer as the hatch continued to vibrate violently.
Illuminated by the red glow of the light sticks.
At the entrance of the engineering cabin in a fog and haze, several twisted and hideous black tentacles could be faintly seen, frantically squeezing through the gaps and infiltrating into the engineering cabin.
At the same time, the monster also showed half of its body.
Obviously wearing a heavy diving suit, he waved his tentacles angrily, scratched the hatch frantically, and squeezed his body into the room inch by inch.
When Yu Guang caught a glimpse of this scene, Meng Lei was shocked.
Hurriedly turned around and pulled the trigger again.
After the gunshots rang out, it was obvious that the shadow of the monster slammed into it.
However, it immediately returned to normal, apparently not suffering fatal injuries.
The sturdy hatch not only hindered the monster's ability to move, but also offset some of the steel balls for it.
This shot did not achieve the effect that satisfied Meng Lei.
Meng Lei took a deep breath and looked at the deep-sea monster that was close at hand, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
He forced himself to compose himself and raised his gun again to aim.
But by this time, the monster had broken free from the shackles of the hatch and squeezed in through the narrow crack in the door.
At the moment when its entire body was exposed to the glow of the light of the light rod.
Meng Lei finally saw the appearance of this monster clearly for the first time.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but gasp!
This strange humanoid monster is indeed the thing that appeared in his nightmare!
Except for the different colors of the wetsuit, it was exactly the same as what he saw in his nightmare!
Meng Lei's scalp was numb instantly!
The nightmare came true!
At the same time, the moment his gaze focused on the monster's body.
Goldfinger also immediately gave a corresponding hint.
(In front of you, there is a painted skin parasite that has been completely assimilated and infected, with strong aggression, and will instinctively bite all creatures within its range of perception, spreading the source of infection!)
If you don't want to be like this, be sure to keep your distance from it and don't get bitten by it! )
