Chapter 523: Strangeness in the Passage
"Venom?" Looking at the gray-black monster that gnawed off the head of a Skrull soldier, Laura subconsciously matched this thing with a certain silly symbiote in her memory, but when she looked closely, she found that it was not like that.
First of all, there are many incomplete parts of this monster's transformation, and the symbiote-like tissue on the surface of the body not only does not completely cover the body of the host, but also keeps bulging pus-like things and then bursting open, splattering gray-white fragments of tissue and gray-green pus scattered everywhere, and the scene is very delicious.
"Bang bang!" The weapons in the hands of the Skrull soldiers, who finally reacted, opened fire one after another, and a large number of kinetic warheads roared towards the mutant monsters.
The monster's speed was extremely fast, and the first wave of barrage was empty except for a few shots that hit its arm.
However, it was obviously not the first time that the Skrulls had encountered such an emergency, and this volley of fire was actually forcing the monsters to run in the direction of the trap they had set temporarily.
"Whew!" The monster, which didn't have much IQ to speak of, really stepped on the force field trap in the process of dodging and running, and was limited by the miniature force field generator that suddenly popped up, and then it was difficult to move.
"Aim! Fire! Free Fire! "As one of the three rogue civilizations in the universe, the power of the Skrulls' individual weapons cannot be underestimated, and one after another extremely lethal warheads hit the mutant monsters, and the latter burst out with a cloud of blood mist while being carried back again and again by a huge kinetic energy.
"Whew!" Everyone present could hear the monster's roar with obvious pain, and it was also covered with holes, but the on-site commander still didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Keep the fire out!" After another series of gunshots, the upper body of the mutant monster was directly beaten into a sieve, and finally fell to the ground with an unwilling wail of pain.
At the direction of the on-site commander, two Skrull soldiers stepped forward to carefully examine the corpse of the mutant monster, and after confirming its death, got up and gestured to the rear.
"The aftermath team is responsible for cleaning up the scene, and at the same time preparing to organize the next reconnaissance team!" The panic caused by the appearance of the monster has been put to an end by force, and some of the chaotic scenes have quickly become orderly again.
"It's a bit like a symbiote, but it's a bit big in all aspects." Laura, who had been secretly observing, withdrew her gaze from the half of the mutant monster's corpse, and then dodged to the hole where the monster had rushed out before.
The Skrulls were still cleaning up the aftermath while organizing the next wave of reconnaissance teams, and Laura took the opportunity to take advantage of the time difference and preemptively enter the passage to investigate.
As for the gray-black monstrous substance that caused the Skrulls to mutate into monsters, Laura didn't see it as a threat to her.
After a few steps down the dark passage, Laura smelled a strong smell of blood rushing to her face.
I don't know what weapon pierced the passage, there was almost no light inside, and there was a dead silence, but this did not affect Lara's vision, she could clearly see the blood splattered everywhere on the inner wall of the passage, judging by the color, it should have been left by the Skrulls who had entered the area to explore before.
Unlike the smell of human blood, the blood of the Skrulls is dark green, and the smell is heavier.
Laura also found that there were a number of gray-black coagulated objects in the clumps of blood, which meant that the blood was basically contaminated with the gray-black substance, but the coagulated suspected symbiotic tissues showed no signs of life.
After a short examination, Laura continued to get up and walk forward, as she continued to investigate deeply, there were more and more dark green blood stains and gray-black tissues along the way, and even some gray-black tissues still had a little vitality, and they twitched and squirmed.
"It's a symbiote, but why is this thing's consciousness so confused?" Grabbing a mass of gray-black matter through the air with telekinesis and studying it for a while, Laura frowned slightly.
"It's not so much like the consciousness that a single individual can produce, but rather like a mixture of countless chaotic consciousnesses." As she spoke, a small golden flame ignited on Laura's fingertips, and then bounced onto the gray-black substance.
"Snort!" Using the fire of Nirvana to burn the disgusting thing into nothingness, Laura continued to walk deeper into the passage.
"Roar!" As he passed a corner, a strange roar rang out, accompanied by a gust of fishy wind, and a twisted claw stabbed at him.
"Poof!" The monster that tried to corner the corner pounced, then slammed headfirst into the hard inner wall of the passage.
The monster struggled to get up and stumbled back and forth around the corner several times, only to find nothing.
Laura was in a state of stealth the whole time, and she didn't even show up except for the fire of nirvana when she used the space gem, so the mutant monster could only be incompetent and furious after searching for no results.
"Whew!" The extremely limited IQ can't support such a complex thinking at all, and the mutant monster naturally doesn't understand why there is an energy reaction here just now but doesn't find anything, so it quickly turns around and rushes out along the passage.
"The ability to sense energy is not weak." Laura glanced at the mutant monster in the distance, the reason why she didn't take action to deal with this thing was naturally to keep a big gift for the Skurulls outside, and by the way, to buy herself more time.
After turning the corner, the passage became narrower, and it was not difficult to see from the various tools scattered on the ground and the rough marks on the inner wall that this small passage more than two meters long should have been dug out by the advance team of the Skrulls little by little.
At the end of the passage lay the corpse of a Skrul, a fist-sized hole cut through it, with a viscous gray-black substance flowing through it.
At this moment, the roar of mutant monsters and the firing of weapons could be heard outside the passage, and it was clear that the monster that had just escaped had already engaged the Skrulls outside.
As if stimulated by external factors, the corpse of the Skrull soldier who was originally leaning on the side began to twitch wildly, and the gray-black substance on the surface of the body also reacted violently.
"You just lie down for me, don't get in the way." Laura took shape, took out a container with some gray-black substance, and prepared to take it back for study, before throwing out a cloud of golden flames and falling on the corpse of the soon-to-be-mutated Skrull.
The fire of Nirvana was the first to burn on top of the corpse, and after burning the corpse, it burned all the way through the small hole that had been hewn in.
Soon, Laura sensed that the gray-black substance inside had been incinerated, and at the same time, a godly aura that she was quite familiar with came out through the hole.
