Chapter 18: Confronting the Desperate Believer
With an inexplicable sizzling sound coming from nowhere, George saw it.
The face was in the shape of a giant, divergent and swollen, full of holes, dense holes, and it seemed as if thick, soft worms were constantly burrowing around.
It emitted a fiery glow, like condensing magma, cracked with brown lines.
For a moment, disgusting faces seemed to see George and several others.
In the endless darkness, a huge and hideous smile suddenly appeared.
Then, it rises slowly, gradually floating in this direction from the end of the corner.
No, it's not floating.
Orange light spreads in every direction along the edges of this face.
It was a massive, shapeless mass of squirming flesh with an unknown number of relatively slender limbs.
John: "Come on, cub!" β
George: "No, big brother, no!" β
John: "Its compatriots killed my dog!" β
George: "Harry can be your dog, right, Harry!" β
Harry: "Woohoo! β
John: "......"
The alien slowly spread the crimson heat all over its body, and it stood at the end of the street, with only one face embedded in the center of the bright red flesh, huge enough to be more than three stories tall.
Behind him, outside the cordon, there were onlookers eating melons cheering for George and the others.
They couldn't see what George saw now, and they could still talk and laugh.
The military is also slowly spreading the front.
The drone hovering overhead didn't seem to capture anything strange at all, and the feedback was empty.
George: "What if I want to throw up. β
John: "I want to throw up, too." β
Harry: "Vomit ......"
The alien's body glowed with a blazing light, and they could see the details of its form.
It turned out to be dozens or hundreds of highly decomposed, headless corpses that could still be seen in a little bit of clothing.
The clothes, which had become very dull in color and had begun to decay, were moist and slippery from the corpse's decaying fluid, wrapped tightly around the swollen stitched corpses, pulling out some sticky silk threads.
The carrion was tightly strangled, and it seemed that it had reached the limit of the elasticity of the clothes, and it was about to burst open in the next second.
But it was a lot of clothing, and some of their corners had even been stitched together by rotten flesh and blood that had penetrated deep into the alien's body.
Some headless corpses that required a great struggle to see the shape had their bare abdomen slightly bulging and slowly collapsing, as if breathing.
The strong, rancid smell almost made it a storm.
From time to time, a few maggots crawled out of the joints of the carrion, mingling with the thick worms that covered the surface of the red-shiny rotting corpse.
Maggots and worms are large and small, the large ones are more than one finger, and the small ones are ovate, in the form of small white dots.
Some bugs piled up on the only face, and immediately four or five fat abscess palms reached over and brushed away the parasites.
Then new bugs emerge quickly.
The giant's face seemed to become very thin and burst at the slightest touch, and the brown viscous liquid emitted a slowly extinguishing light, snaking out along with maggots.
A corpse that was attached to the surface of the alien suddenly bulged out of its belly, and a pile of white things gushed out, like a small fountain, spewing out nearly half a meter high, and then scattering in all directions.
The maggots seemed to suddenly break free from their restraints and squirm in all directions, and all three of George subconsciously took a step back.
In the blazing light, the single abdominal cavity cracked, and maggots and worms could be seen entangled with each other, burrowing many dense small holes in the abdomen of the deceased, going in and out.
George suddenly felt his scalp go numb.
The aliens are slowly approaching.
At this point, they understood the source of the strange "zizi" sound they had heard earlier.
There were so many maggots that they burrowed around, rubbing and colliding with the skin muscles of the alien corpses, gliding through the putrefactive liquid, overlapping and intertwining with each other, producing this strange sound.
More headless corpses burst open in the abdomen.
They clinged to the surface of the alien's body, flesh and blood blended, all facing outward, the skin of the thorax and abdomen had been turned beyond their faces by the wriggling gnaws of maggots and worms, and each small hole had a little white, and after a while a maggot crawled out.
Suddenly, its message appeared above the head of the alien.
[Outliers: Desperate Believers]
[Level 2 outliers.]
Comment: For a long time, you won't be able to cope alone. It is advisable to leave the current area immediately to avoid it.
Weaknesses: Extreme light, heat, screams of young women.
Note: You may be able to find out why it's the way it is. γ
Maybe I can find out why it's the way it is?
I'm sorry, but next time by all means.
George resisted the urge to vomit, and there was only one thought in his mindβ
Escape!
Run now!
This thing was more dangerous than he had predicted, and the system actually told him to leave immediately to avoid it.
unimaginable.
To know that even and now Peter who has become Spider-Man. Parker Parker fought to the death, how could George tear two pieces of flesh off him.
But this monster ......
George: "We can't handle this. β
John quickly withdrew the gun.
He agrees with George's words: "The new dog I bought is almost here." β
George: "Shall we slip then?" β
John: "Let's slip away. β
Just the moment he saw this monster, John clearly recognized the gap between the two sides.
He's a killer, but not a fool.
As early as when the Sleeve Man appeared on the TV news, he speculated countless times about the former's physique.
But in the end, it came to the conclusion that it was not even as good as Captain America as a super soldier. Rogers.
Such a mutant who is not very powerful and an armored warrior whose combat strength is not comparable to Iron Man Mark 2, even if he is added to the number one top killer like him, it is estimated that he can add two pots of vegetables to the thing in front of him at most.
But Harry seemed to be frozen in place.
He never moved, and even with George's strength far twice that of ordinary people, he could not shake him in a metal suit.
[Click-]
The sound of a large-caliber pistol loading is unusually crisp.
John: "I know about it, but the government doesn't announce it. β
With a gun in one hand and Harry's visor in the other, he removed Harry's visor, revealing a face that seemed to be very pale underneath and was in some kind of great fear.
John: "I'm afraid it's going to be hard for us to take him with us." β
"Fuck you."
George took a sip.
He first glared at John, and then complained to Harry, who had temporarily lost himself: "Look, I'll just say that I will take refuge in Manhattan, you have to come and join in the fun." β
[Bang-]
A large square stone was lifted by him.
It was an obstacle used to prevent large vehicles from entering the block, weighing more than three hundred kilograms, and even George had some difficulty lifting it.
The shadow cast, leaving John a little stunned.
"What does the government know, I'll hold it up, and you let the army take over!"
George was now looking at the slowly approaching mass, rotten piece of flesh.
The blazing light had fallen on his body.
Those waving dense limbs turned out to be the countless siblings of this alien species.
γBoom!!γ γ
The stone was thrown out, and it smashed into the flesh and blood under the body of the desperate believer, and it was actually welded into it because of inertia!
Meaningless words emanated from its mouth, converging into piercing screams.
