Chapter 8: The Face of the Other
"Hoo ......"
"Hoo ......"
Heavy breathing echoed in the small space, and a thin layer of small droplets of water hung on the long, narrow glass due to the condensation of water vapor.
Outside, the torrential rain quickly accumulates water and then flows down the basement, down the narrow glass like a waterfall, into the swarthy sewers that are faintly smoky with white smoke from the swamp.
"There aren't many opportunities......
George muttered to himself.
This is the locker room near the stadium, and on the ground not far away, the alien named [Believer] is letting out a low roar and walking towards the police officers who are close to the school building.
The roaring sound doesn't look like it's coming from one vocal cord.
Rather, several vocal cords vibrate at different frequencies, and then emit simultaneously from a vocal organ on the surface of this alien body, which is unsettling.
Its bodily fluids flow to the ground, corroding stones or dirt. Heavy raindrops fell on its body, and it was evaporated in an instant because of the frighteningly high body temperature.
White steam surrounded the anomaly, so much so that the officers didn't even know what they were dealing with.
The bullets were like a torrent of steel, and they were poured into the alien body.
Looking in George's direction, the metal objects were quickly squeezed into the flesh and blood inside the body into the several sagging flesh buds that stretched out a meter long like sea intestines behind the aliens.
The granulation slowly twisted in a gesture that made George almost vomit, spitting out bullets of pink body tissue from organs that looked like human beings at the ends.
ใDing Ding Dingโโใ
The spit bullets collided with each other, emitting a metallic hollow sound.
[Outliers: Believers]
[Level 1 outliers.]
Comment: You can't deal with it alone for the time being.
Weaknesses: bright light, spine. ใ
George looked again at the stats panel that he could only see after he walked in, but there was no description of strength and stamina at all.
He was supposed to be on the other side of the school building.
But because I saw the weakness of strong light, I came here.
In the dressing room, there is a super-bright flashlight with a brightness of 32,000 lumens.
It was a stupid big guy from a team who bought it for a lot of dollars.
It is said that it was to pretend to be forced at the time.
However, pretending to be forced did not succeed, but burned his retina and went to the hospital, and he still hasn't come out.
George nervously wrapped himself in a black raincoat and covered the flashlight weighing at least 1.5 kilograms in his hand with a denim suit left by a senior from an unknown number of years.
He glanced down at him.
The denim jacket has a faint lip print near the collar that is barely visible.
"I'm sorry senior, I really need this dress."
George took off the dress and threw it on the ground, smacking his feet the soles of his feet with the lip prints on them, until the dust and dirt completely covered the denim suit that had witnessed the love story of the hapless senior.
Then it was used again to cover the flashlight.
The summer rain comes and goes quickly.
The heavy rains are gradually subsiding.
The policemen fought and retreated, and they almost retreated to the wall of the school building.
The school is riddled with holes.
But George was waiting.
He's waiting for an opportunity.
The task was for him to kill the aliens, and he was willing to wait a little longer on the premise that there would be no casualties among the cops.
"Peter, Peter, if you don't come out again, the daily trumpet should say that you can't be saved when you die......"
George's palms were sweating.
He holds a flashlight in his left hand and a metal bat weighing at least 20 kilograms, which was supposed to be used for decoration and symbolism in his right hand.
Judging by the performance of the heterogeneous hot weapon, it should be difficult for the sharp weapon to hurt its spine.
But blunt instruments are different.
This thing goes down with a stick, and the granite is strong enough to smash you.
The rain was light.
Finally, the monster's figure no longer accompanied by the thick white steam, but actually appeared in front of more than a dozen policemen.
Behind four or five blast shields, two female police officers let out a low wail of terror.
What kind of thing is that......
Even though the NYPD has dealt with so many incidents of infected bodily injuries, such a thing, even if they are seeing it for the first time.
At least seven or eight human bodies have been stripped of their bones and facial features, and have been kneaded together in a strange and rough way to form a pile of completely asymmetrical pieces of fat flesh.
Many of the five features, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, grow on the face of this ghost in a way that ordinary people cannot understand, as if they were growing on a human face.
It seems to be raining heavily again.
The police are running out of ammunition.
Their gunfire was not as fierce as it had been.
[Gollum-]
[Gollum-]
[Gollum-]
Believers have no lower limbs, and move slowly forward like slugs by sticking together, slippery, amorphous flesh that exposes nerve tissue.
It was a spineless, softened human body.
Its body has no skin, and is made up of exposed subcutaneous tissue, giving it a disgusting bright red color.
The blood-like fluid follows down the ravine.
The path it traveled was a terrifying puddle of highly corrosive bodily fluids.
Behind it, four or five pipe-like tails protruded.
Along the way, many projectiles were scattered from the body.
"We're running out of ammunition!"
"Hold on!"
Because this group of policemen was directly in front of the aliens, the other police officers in the back did not dare to shoot at will, for fear of accidentally injuring friendly soldiers.
A large black man withstood the blast shield, but was easily lifted up by the pink siblings of the alien who was forcibly made up of an unknown number of limbs.
Then he slammed into the ground ten meters away, unconscious.
Three fresh arms grew in irregular positions on either side of its body, which were not even the same size and were extremely twisted, seemingly growing dozens of joints.
The smell of blood emanated from the monster's body.
It approached step by step, and the breath of death seemed to envelop everyone in an instant.
George clenched his bat in the dark.
If Peter never showed up again......
[Knock-]
A piece of hard, painted metal streetlight whistled from more than twenty meters away and smashed into the alien's chest.
Then it easily pierced through its flesh, punctured its entrails, and welded to the corroded ground.
In the heavy rain, the red figure fell from the sky!
"It's Spider-Man!"
"Spider-Man!"
Little Spider's reputation is also very loud in the police department, and he has done many good deeds.
There are not many people in this world who will believe the nonsense of the daily trumpet.
"Gentlemen, and ladies!"
In the rain, Peter was not wearing a mask.
I don't know why, but all of a sudden, it was darker.
He didn't look back, but made a pre-battle pose,
"I'll leave it to me!"
At this point, George relaxed his muscles.
Although he can rely on a physique far beyond ordinary people to temporarily block this anomaly, he can't compare to Spider-Man after all.
If he goes, it could kill someone.
Peter came to fight the first wave, and there was a high probability that he would not be injured.
