Chapter 2414 Quetzalcoatl
After a while, the deformed creature with its tail wrapped around Merlin stopped.
Then the deformed creature flicked its tail, and Merlin landed on the iron net.
Merlin found that these deformed creatures did not seem to intend to eat her, at least not yet.
There are many deformed creatures patrolling the surrounding passages.
Merlin wanted to move his body, but he only had a little feeling in his limbs.
And the saliva of the deformed creature that remains on her body is solidifying, and then sticking her to the iron fence.
"Give up, don't waste your energy."
At this moment, a voice came from the side.
Merlin turned around and saw a man wearing a white coat.
The man's eyes were dull and his voice was very weak.
"You...you are a researcher here?"
"It's obvious, isn't it?" the man said weakly.
"Are these things what you researched?"
"They can only be regarded as being cultivated by us. We can't study this thing." The man said: "When I came here, there were already their eggs. Later, through cultivation and reproduction, they reached today's scale. "
"What the hell are these?"
“Do you know Quetzalcoatl from the Inca civilization?”
"I've heard of them. You said they are Quetzalcoatl, but they all look like a bunch of bald gourds with not a single hair on their bodies. They don't look like Quetzalcoatl at all."
"They are the prototype of Quetzalcoatl." The man said: "The origin of the original eggs in the laboratory is unknown, but through research, we found that they have extremely high intelligence and sociality, so the people who studied with me at the time thought , it is possible that their civilization existed a long time ago.”
"So what are they going to do with us now? Eat us? Or use them as winter food?" Merlin asked with a bit of self-deprecation.
She didn't have much hope for survival research anymore.
At least she couldn't see any hope of survival.
"Look up there."
Merlin turned to look directly above, only to see wet eggs hanging in the shadows on the ceiling covered with various pipes.
Merlin swallowed, she had realized something.
"You've seen Alien, right?"
Even though Merlin's body was in a state of paralysis, he still felt unprecedented fear.
"The Quetzalcoatl we see now were all cultured in laboratory containers, so their development is extremely incomplete and can only be regarded as subspecies." The man said: "The real Quetzalcoatl is growing from eggs. After being drilled out of the body, it needs to be drilled into the body of a large mammal before it can grow into a real Quetzalcoatl... As for the process, you can refer to the facehugger in Alien. "
"how do you know?"
"I'm not the only one who was caught here. When the laboratory was evacuated, four people were caught here by these subspecies."
At this moment, a huge creature emerged from a circular passage.
Its body shape is similar to those subspecies, but it is larger.
Judging from the weight alone, they are more than five times larger than the ordinary subspecies.
They don't move forward lying on the ground like the subspecies, their upper bodies are supported, just like humans.
The lower body wriggles forward like a snake.
They have colorful feathers on their backs and armpits.
This is obviously the Quetzalcoatl that the researcher next to me was talking about.
"Ho--" Quetzalcoatl made a strange cry from his mouth.
All the surrounding subspecies had their heads lowered to the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.
It was as if a commoner was as humble as a noble.
At this time, the Quetzalcoatl moved into a water tank.
Merlin heard the sound of a motor starting.
Then the lights around that sink came on.
The water tank where Quetzalcoatl is connected to many cables seems to be powered on.
And it made a series of strange sounds in the water tank.
"What is it doing?"
"Absorb electrical energy." The researcher said: "The Quetzalcoatl seems to be able to absorb electrical energy, and they are very intelligent. No one has taught them how to use the equipment here. But in the past two days, I watched them go from After exploring and using them now, you can never imagine how smart they are.”
Merlin felt like her scalp was going to explode. Of course she understood the meaning of the researcher's words.
Even humans dare not say that they can learn to operate such complex electrical equipment without any relevant experience, let alone other species.
If it were simply physically powerful, it would not threaten the entire human group.
After all, there are many animals on earth that are stronger than humans.
But what if a species emerges that is stronger and smarter than humans?
"What about their ability to reproduce?"
The researcher glanced at Merlin from the corner of his eye: "As long as there is enough food, they can mate, lay eggs, and hatch into larvae in just one night. After the larvae burrow into the body of the mammal, they will devour the body of the mammal. It takes one day to become a semi-mature body. For example, the Quetzalcoatl is only twenty hours old."
After hearing what the researcher said, Merlin was extremely shocked.
"You guys are crazy, you dare to study this kind of thing."
"It's too late to say this now, and I'm just a researcher. In terms of the nature of my work, I'm no different from an engineering worker. Even if I don't accept the job, others will." The researcher completely eliminated his responsibilities .
Although what he said was true, Merlin was furious.
But at this time, she had no way of teaching this researcher a lesson.
She can't protect herself now.
And at this moment, a piece of meat above them suddenly broke open.
A large amount of liquid poured down, immediately chilling the two of them.
Of course, if it was just liquid pouring down, it wouldn't cause them to panic.
Because there are still things coming down with the liquid.
A young Quetzalcoatl. This young Quetzalcoatl looks pink and a bit cute.
However, no one would find it cute if they were associated with facehuggers.
The young Quetzalcoatl began to crawl towards the researcher.
The researcher trembled with fear and made a whooshing sound from his mouth.
The young Quetzalcoatl hesitated for a moment, then turned around and crawled towards Merlin.
Merlin was scared to death. Only then did she understand how this researcher managed to be the last one alive in these two days.
Merlin wanted to make that sound too, so she tried making a hoho sound.
However, the young Quetzalcoatl did not stop and had already crawled onto Merlin's chest.
Merlin could feel the cold touch when the young Quetzalcoatl came into contact with her skin.
Merlin was so scared that he couldn't speak, and his breathing became rapid.
