Chapter 405 Predator

After a while, under the precise calculation of the laser ranging equipment, the engineering probe stopped at a distance of ten centimeters from the cabin door. Then, the ring wheel set in front of the probe rotated for a while, and a stream of blue, a cluster of The ultra-high temperature plasma arc is ejected from the probe tip nozzle.

The metal substance that made up the hatch was quickly melted and evaporated under the action of the high-temperature plasma, and a long cut was drawn on the hatch.

Seeing this scene, Byron and the others in the quarantine station outside could not help but nod. It can be seen that Ruskin is very cautious. The monster is hidden in the cargo ship's cabin. The enemy is dark and we are clearly aware. environmental advantages.

"It's a good idea." Zhou Ai said with a smile, and Bai Lun and Tang Lin agreed.

Only Tang Fang did not speak, his two eyebrows were almost twisted into a rope. If it was as he imagined, there were monsters hidden in the cargo ship that were comparable to creatures such as evil eyes and giant snakes, and the mere plasma arc would be difficult to deal with. It poses a threat.

After a short effort, his worries came true. After the engineering probe melted a cut in the hatch, just as the plasma arc changed its direction, accompanied by a sharp long hiss, the daunting tentacle stretched out again. It came out, shaped like a giant python, directly coiled the engineering probe more than one meter wide, and twisted it hard.

"Crack, click, buzz..." There was a teeth-piercing sound, and the engineering probe was completely scrapped. After a few blue spots gushed out of the pointed nozzle, there was no movement.

After breaking the mechanical arm, the monster seemed to be enraged. The twisted taupe tentacle was bathed in the electric sparks raining down on the track layer of the hangar all the way up, moving as nimbly as a monkey.

At this time, the originally bloated tentacles gradually elongated, and the dense muscle tissue was like a mucous membrane that was torn apart vigorously. It looks disgusting.

The next scene not only shocked the two soldiers in the mechanical control room, but Ruskin on the second floor of the hangar. Even Byron and Tang Lin outside felt chills all over.

Its tentacles climbed onto the track layer, and after turning a few times along the steel track. The muscles tightened, and with a sudden force, there was only a "crack... squeak", and the small half of the track layer was bent by it in one fell swoop, and it was torn off the roof.

Amidst the flashing lightning, there was a bang, and dozens of tons of steel structures fell from mid-air to the ground, flattening and crushing some locomotives, aircraft, and engineering equipment.

The mechanical control room is pierced by a steel rail. Fortunately, the two soldiers reacted in time and ran out the moment before the rails pressed against the top, otherwise, they would have been smashed into meatloaf.

That is a fine steel track, which can withstand objects weighing dozens of tons.

How strong must that tentacle be to be twisted by that monster? Both of them turned pale with fright, and ran away under the cover of messy equipment.

At this time, the tentacles that had been twisting the rails squirmed a few times. A strand of muscle tissue that was kinked like a hemp rope branched out, as if it had eyes, and the message was like thunder and lightning. It shot out towards the two people who were fleeing in a panic in the distance.

In the hangar with many obstacles, the strand of muscle tissue was like a fish swimming in water, turning and circling all the way forward, but in the blink of an eye, with a "poof", it pierced into the back of the last soldier walking, splashing There was a big pool of flying blood.

Tang Lin was taken aback outside, and his face became a little embarrassed, although he had seen the corpse of a giant snake when he was at the Ipsilon relay station in the Megar star system. But to be dead is one thing, to be alive is another.

That tentacle is not only surprisingly powerful. It can also be decomposed into a flexible and tricky soft thorn, such an ability is simply staggering.

The faces of Zhou Ai and Byron were equally gloomy and terrifying. Compared with it, the centipede monster on planet 5 is like a fool, he is going to die. The monster in the cargo ship not only knows how to create a favorable environment and hide its own weaknesses, but also can control its body organs so flexibly.

Tang Fang still frowned and remained silent, but his eyes did not blink, staring closely at the monster tentacles that were bloated at the end and flexible and sharp at the tip.

Somehow, this change of the monster reminded him of someone, Roy! When Roy's right arm was changing shape, it was somewhat similar to the monster in front of him. Considering the origin of Roy's right arm, he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.

"Roy's right arm comes from Faraday's experiment on specimen ts-001. Could it be... Could it be that the monster in front of him is also related to specimen ts-001?"

Just when Tang Fang was having doubts, something happened in the hangar again. The body of the soldier who was supposed to die after being pierced by the sharp thorns twisted for a while, and his muscles slowly swelled, forming round vesicles one after another. The facial features that were originally distorted by pain were compressed into a ball by the rapidly expanding muscles. But in just a few breaths, he transformed from a human into a huge tumor.

At this time, the sharp thorn that had been twisting and rolling through the soldier's chest suddenly accelerated a second time, piercing the second soldier's right chest with lightning speed.

After 3 or 5 seconds, the second soldier showed the same symptoms as the first soldier. Muscle tissue churned and squirmed, and his body swelled at a speed discernible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the originally 2-finger-thick branched tentacles flowed from the tip to the tail one after another, and it looked like they were extracting the flesh tissues of those two poor soldiers. Both are uncomfortable.

"This... what the hell is this?" A guard soldier turned pale with fright, turned his head and ran out the door, holding on to the railing and retching. He has been in "Venus Pharmaceutical" for several years, and he has done a lot of things like this to wipe the ass of the scientific research department. Compared with the things in front of him, the things that can be encountered are simply a hundred thousand. Eight thousand miles.

What's in the cargo ship, where are the biological samples, it's basically killing you three thousand!

The faces of the people outside were not good, let alone Ruskin and others inside. In less than a minute, the two soldiers died like this. The death was so unclear and horrible.

Up to now, anyone can see that the monsters in the cargo ship are by no means comparable to those "dirty things" in the past.

"Eugene, activate the internal defense system and blow up the cargo ship for me." On the second floor of the hangar, Ruskin issued a storm command.

At this moment, the sarcoma transformed from the soldier's corpse has shrunk a circle, and was pulled by the tentacles and slowly retracted into the cargo ship's cabin, leaving only a few shocking pools of blood on the messy ground. And the "pick pick" without firing a single shot.

Before pressing the "fire" button, Eugene glanced at the miserable state of the hangar and gritted his teeth. Slam down the big red button on the console.

The alarm rang loudly, and the gates in the four corners of the hangar, which were shaped like air vents, slowly opened. Eight railguns protruded from the shadows, locking onto the cargo ship on the tarmac.

Facing such terrifying monsters, going up alone would be death. Now that Ruskin didn't care about any tasks or losses, completely burying it was the issue that needed to be considered at the moment.

"Bah..." The arc was bounced off the railgun's accelerated track. Lights up the four corners of the hangar.

Eight projectiles with a diameter of 120 meters shot out with fire and light, and flew to the 120-meter-long cargo ship on the push platform in the center of the hangar.

As a large pharmaceutical company, "Venus Pharmaceuticals" has made a comprehensive plan at the beginning of the establishment of the factory. How can there be no defense system in a place that is prone to accidents like the hangar.

With the power of the railgun, it would naturally have no problem dealing with a 100-meter-class ship, let alone a cargo ship.

"Boom!" The fire was shining, and thick smoke was billowing.

Eight projectiles hit the target accurately, the entire hangar was shrouded in flames, and the apron was scrapped. The push platform collapsed, and the cargo ship dismembered by 8 kinetic energy projectiles capsized slowly under the raging flames, and fell from the platform to the ground. Spread a circle of flames.

"Hiss..." There was a deafening roar from the steaming smoke, the steel rails falling from the mid-air were trembling, and there was a "crashing" sound on the ground. It was the monster's tentacles slapping the ground frantically, knocking the wreckage of the battleship to pieces. Throw it all over the place.

"It's still not dead?" In the engine room, Ruskin's forehead was already sweating. Under the bombardment of 8 railguns, the cargo ship was dismembered and half of the hangar was destroyed. The monster is still alive, how...how is this possible?

"Fire! Fire! Continue to bombard me!"

Eugene didn't dare to neglect. Tremblingly, he agreed, and pressed the fire button continuously.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Thunder and fire erupted from the four corners of the hangar. The magnetic track projectile with strong kinetic energy will be more than ten meters thick, and the foundation added with carbon nanomaterials will collapse one after another. The ground is shaking, and the entire hangar is completely changed by this round of attacks.

Thanks to "Venus Pharmaceutical" in the process of building the park, the crust and rock formations were reinforced, otherwise, the continuous bombardment of this intensity would be enough to cause a powerful earthquake.

The shock wave brought up dust and thick smoke, and threw it to a height of 40 to 50 meters. A large number of metal and non-metal fragments flew in all directions, hitting one locomotive body after another, triggering a series of explosions.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Flames shot up into the sky, billowing black smoke filled the entire hangar.

Not only Ruskin and Eugene, but Byron, Zhou Ai and others outside the hangar also opened their eyes wide, looking at the monitor screen covered by thick smoke without blinking.

"Is the monster dead?" Everyone has a question mark in their hearts. After all, the railgun is a battleship-level configuration. If it can't eliminate the monsters hidden in the cargo ship, then the trouble will be big. This is the underground rail. The cannon is already the strongest weapon in the park's internal defense system.

Tang Fang still frowned, and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. He couldn't figure out one thing, what is the origin of the monster in the hangar, is it an epic creature of the same family as the evil eye and the giant snake? Or is it related to phagosome ts-001? I remember that Valentine introduced to him that the epic creature has a genetic similarity with the phagosome ts-001, but on the whole, they belong to different species. If it was the former, the railgun might not be able to hurt it. As for the latter, the parasites encountered at the Rector North Suburb Research Institute were too small to be of reference value.

"Beep..." There was a sound of debris exploding from the sound source equipment, and the thick smoke billowing in the sky also tended to dissipate. Suddenly, as a shadow flashed by, a wave of flames surged in front of the camera.

About 3 seconds later, a roar twice as loud as the one just now came: "Woo..." The sound was as muffled as thunder, and vibrations fermented under the feet, radiating outward from the hangar in area g There was a "rumbling" sound.

"I'm really afraid of something coming." Tang Fang stood up suddenly, grabbed the communicator tightly held by the guard soldier, and shouted: "Ruskin, retreat quickly, you can't handle this thing."

"呵...呵..." There was a burst of noise first, with an interval of 10 seconds. Only then did I hear Ruskin's response: "Hey... Hey, did you get it? Who was it just now? Tang Fang?"

"That's right, it's me. Come out now. That's not something you can handle."

In fact, Tang Fang needless to say, Ruskin also knows that "Venus Pharmaceutical" has gotten into big trouble this time, and the railgun has nothing to do with it. In such a narrow space as the underground hangar, where can we find more powerful weapons? Instead, he now regrets using the railgun set. If the hangar is intact, he might be able to use the push platform to lift the cargo ship to the surface, so that Stephen's warships can use larger-caliber naval guns to deal with it. .

"Understood, I'll go out now." There is no time to regret now. Ruskin agreed, put on his combat gas mask, and beckoned his soldiers to leave the computer room and walk towards the entrance of the hangar.

The computer room was actually not far from the hangar gate. After coming down from the second floor, Ruskin and his party of 11 crept forward, for fear of attracting the monster's attention. According to his thinking, it seems that Area G cannot be kept, and the next thing to do is to evacuate the entire staff of Area G. Completely block the connection channel. In this way, the monster may be trapped in the hangar, and the matter will be reported to the company's senior management. It's not too late to deal with it.

The flames and thick smoke in the hangar have not yet dissipated, and the infrared detection equipment of the combat gas masks has been seriously interfered with. Ruskin, Eugene and others can only rely on the naked eye to identify the path ahead. 3 people open the way, 3 people break the back, and 4 people are in charge of the two wings, which is a standard combat configuration.

Ruskin intends to implement the strategy of delaying the attack, but the unknown monster in the hangar does not intend to let him go.

Eleven people descended from the stairs, and when they walked less than 20 meters forward, dozens of sharp shadows suddenly appeared in the thick smoke. Like arrows, from far to near. Faster than lightning.

Among the three people after the breakup, Eugene had quick eyesight and quick hands. With a loud roar: "It's coming!" Taking advantage of the opportunity, it bumped into the comrade on the left, and the two immediately rolled into a ball. Although the ground is densely covered with large and small rubble, rubble and metal fragments, rolling on it is far more comfortable than rolling sheets, but at least it escaped the stabbing of the tentacles.

Eugene's warning worked. Being in such a harsh environment, it is not an exaggeration to say that his eyes were blackened. Ruskin and the others were in a state of high tension all the time. With a hard flip, he narrowly passed the "Death Spear" attacking from behind.

"Ah...huh, uh..." But even so, there was still one person who moved a bit late, and was stabbed to the core by the tentacles twisted into spears, and another person was pierced through the right arm by the spear.

Blood "tick tock" fell on the ground, smearing several gravels. The soldier whose chest was pierced by the spear was like his predecessors, his body began to twist and swell, and the five fingers that were tightly planing the ground swelled in circles, and his entire arm was convulsing and twitching.

Because the spear didn't penetrate the heart, he couldn't breathe for a while, the swollen facial muscles broke off the belt, and the gas mask fell to the ground. While staring at the other soldier, he raised his head up and down, and his whole body seemed to twitch and tremble, as if something in his body was being sucked away by the tentacles.

"Nick, Nick... no... ah..." The soldier in front shouted the name of the dying man, covering his head with his hands, and almost collapsed.

At this moment, the tentacle spear that pierced Nick accelerated a second time from under him, hitting the former's ankle all at once. However, unlike before, this time the tentacles did not twist into a spear posture, but spread out piece by piece, like an octopus flipping its claws, tightly covering his feet. After that, the tentacle, which was originally full of toughness, quickly Softened, like a pool of moving mud, under the terrified eyes of the soldiers, it went all the way up the ankles and calves, wrapping the entire lower body in the blink of an eye.

"Help... help." The soldier's upper and lower teeth were chattering, and the cry for help seemed to come out of his throat.

You must know that there are more than a dozen tentacles and spears. Ruskin and others have tried their best to avoid him, so there is no chance to save him.

When the soldier stretched his neck and pulled his face, watching the puddle of mud climb up and down his jaw, the four tentacles that had been deeply inserted into the ground protruded one after another, and suddenly shot out a few points. follicle.

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!" Like darts, these follicles penetrated deeply into the bodies of the four soldiers who could not dodge, and then, the originally closed follicles slowly opened six petals like blooming flowers.

The four soldiers kicked their feet on the ground, their arms seemed to be frozen, their heads were raised upwards, their Adam's apple wriggled up and down, their faces were pale, and their mouths opened: "Ho... ho... ho..."

They wanted to scream, to ask for help, but when the words came to their lips, they turned into ho-ho panting that no one could understand.

At this time, the 4 opened follicles seemed to come to life, and the 6 petals danced up and down at a specific frequency, and the original gray-brown skin was slowly dyed with a layer of red, looking from a distance, it looked like blood.

Veins popped up under the skin of the four soldiers, blood streaks spread, their bodies writhed and writhed incessantly on the ground, their skin was scratched and ruptured with ten fingers, and a thick brown slurry slowly dripped out.

Ruskin was stunned, his throat choked, and he wanted to struggle to get up, but at this moment, less than one meter away from him, the tentacle spear that had been stabbed into the ground unexpectedly launched a two-stage thrust with the hole as a turning point. Electric shot out. (to be continued)

ps: I have to go to New Year's greetings before 6 o'clock in the morning~ It seems that we only get up early once a year during the Spring Festival.

Happy New Year~ Happy New Year to everyone!
