Alejandro has always been curious about how something so big can move in a narrow space like a shelter.
The aberration chasing them was a big guy that looked like a squid, had a lot of tentacles, and a total length of more than thirty meters. Alejandro was very sure that this thing had appeared in this shelter just a few days before him.
The way it moves is very special. The surface of its skin can secrete a large amount of mucus, and then it relies on the suction cups on its tentacles to stick to the smooth metal wall of the shelter and pull its huge body to move.
Therefore, wherever the big squid passes, it will leave very obvious traces, such as fishy-smelling mucus, or the marks left by suckers as big as a human head on the metal wall.
After Alejandro's cowboy team came in, they found no trace of this monster on the first three floors. They only encountered the monster's pursuit on the fourth floor, and then escaped all the way down. There was also no trace of this monster on the other floors.
Found traces of its existence.
So Alejandro could only find out helplessly that they might have just happened to run into the shelter when the monster had just hatched, and became the other's first meal after birth.
They rushed in from top to bottom and saw many aberrations that were hatching or newly hatched in the shelter. This was not really a Western to them. After all, before the Apocalypse, and the aberrations
The Cowboys who have fought in the field have seen these things before.
Alejandro placed his long-edged machete gently on the ground. The ground of the shelter was made of metal, which could transmit vibrations from a long distance. Therefore, every movement of every tentacle of the monster was heard by Alejandro.
Alejandro's perception.
The tentacles moved so rhythmically that Alejandro could feel a slight vibration every time a new suction cup was attached to the floor or wall.
The speed of that monster is actually very fast, and its huge body is much more flexible than it looks. It seems to have no bones and can squeeze itself out of a pipe with a diameter of one meter. Once you take a look at that scene, you will never forget it in your life.
No.
Alejandro and his party met at least two player teams in this shelter, but they also fled from the monster's pursuit, and the two sides did not even have time to conflict.
The heavy firepower carried by the Cowboy Team was about as effective as a water gun in front of the monster. Bullets and fragmentation missiles could not penetrate the opponent's skin at all, and even incendiary bombs could only cause slight damage.
Moreover, this damage is getting smaller and smaller as time goes by. The monster is adapting to their attacks and evolving itself to become stronger and stronger, or it should be said that it is becoming more and more adaptable to the environment.
After all, Alejandro is a Scarlet Disciple, and his authority is very high, but among the information he has read, the only one who can do this is probably Gluttony in the Seven Deadly Sins.
Gluttony left too much research data to the world. It not only caused the destruction of a city and the death of millions of people, but also left tens of thousands of tons of biomass debris.
Although Mikkelsen immediately initiated a blockade, a considerable amount of biomass debris still escaped, which also led to gluttony becoming the most well-known seven deadly sins in the world.
They can indeed see Tang Ji on the news every day, but how strong is Tang Ji? What can he do? What can't he do? How fast can he run? How powerful can a punch be? Few people know this, but Gluttony
no the same.
Before the Apocalypse, countless scientific research institutions used the biomass remains left behind by gluttony to develop new results, such as magical therapeutic injections and the notorious Ganges virus.
And when these people infected with the Ganges virus gathered together and turned into the monster behind him that clearly had the color of a marine life, Alejandro had to suspect that this was Gluttony playing a trick of reincarnation. After all, as we all know,
Gluttony was once kept in captivity by players in Antarctica and ate a lot of fish.
Gluttony probably knows a little more about the sea than the land.
Just as Alejandro was thinking, several tentacles thicker than his waist had spread from the end of the passage.
Although those tentacles did not grow visual organs, they obviously had other perception systems, and they easily spotted Alejandro, who was standing motionless in the middle of the corridor and even held his breath.
Alejandro sighed. He originally planned to make a sneak attack first. At least this move worked well during the last break. However, a few hours later, the big squid added its own tentacles.
Some new features.
He took out his last cigarette from his pocket and lit it in the passage, took a deep breath, and then knocked the wall hard with the long knife in his hand, causing a large amount of sparks to fly out: "Come here! Big man!"
Maybe Alejandro's attitude angered the monster, maybe his voice was too loud, but in the next second, more tentacles densely filled the entire corridor, and more than a dozen tentacles rushed to surround them.
he.
The reason why Alejandro chose to use cold weapons to deal with the monster was because it was the only weapon he had on hand that could cause harm to the opponent.
An orange-red flame ignited along Alejandro's blade. The monster on the other side of the passage seemed to be a little afraid of the burning blade in Alejandro's hand. At that moment, he flinched back, but after a few hesitations
Seconds later, it seemed to be irritated and pounced on again with a more ferocious attitude!
"You just remember to eat but not to fight, right?" Alejandro kicked away the first tentacle that rushed towards him with a strong stance, and the thickened tactical boots were pushed back by the muscles.
The touch on the wall.
But even a reinforced concrete wall could be knocked down by Alejandro, so the tentacle was kicked directly back to his other brothers and sisters.
Immediately followed by a slash, Alejandro cut off another tentacle forcefully at the waist. A thick tentacle almost two meters long fell to the ground and was swarmed by other tentacles within a few seconds.
Eat it all up.
"If you can still understand people, all I can say is that it's disgusting." Alejandro frowned, watching the broken tentacle grow back the front half at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was
In response to his taunt.
At this time, less than 300 meters away from Alejandro, a team of players also received a warm welcome from the "local residents".
"Hell, this thing can't kill you at all!" A player pulled the trigger and fired all the bullets in the empty magazine, but the small aberration in front of him that was the size of a basketball, had two pairs of wings, and looked like a large mosquito was only shot down.
Got three.
These players formed a circular formation, protecting a few wounded people in the middle, and directed firepower uniformly to block the attack of those 'mosquitoes'.
"Shut up! If you had practiced more on the shooting range, we wouldn't be such wolves today!" The companion behind him was attacked by two 'mosquitoes' because of the gap in the opponent's firepower. One of the mosquitoes directly cut his tail.
The spikes pierced his arm.
In just a moment, his arm went as soft as noodles.
"Fuck! I'm injured!" The player shouted and rolled backwards. A wounded man in the circle who was almost as injured as him immediately stood up and took over his position, holding a gun with one hand.
Firepower gap.
It's a pity that even if these players cooperated tacitly, they still left at least a second of gap for the enemy. Those extremely agile 'mosquitoes' quickly approached the inside of the circle and laid siege to the injured.
In just a few breaths, at least six players suffered casualties. The remaining players had to abandon all the wounded and left four people behind, so that the remaining players could escape.
The 'mosquitoes' that sucked up those players did not take advantage of the victory to pursue them. They were simply unable to fly long distances. Without a huge change in oxygen content, they could support them to move at high speed and frequency with such a huge body.
It's a special nutrient solution.
This nutrient solution can only be secreted by the mother nests of these mosquitoes, so their activity range is a circle of about twenty meters with the mother nest as the center. This is an exquisite symbiotic relationship.
When mosquitoes attack a target, they need to first inject some kind of super digestive enzyme into the target's body to liquefy all the muscles and internal organs in the target's body, then withdraw it into its own abdominal cavity, and finally carry the liquid back to the mother's nest for exchange
Nutrient solution.
The reason why those players did not notice the existence of the Brood is because the Brood is so large that it occupies an entire wall of the 18th floor of the shelter, turning itself into a part of the entire 18th floor.
As Ganges Shelter No. 11 was reopened by players, the aberrations in the shelter began to evolve at an accelerated pace, as if they had been stimulated by something.
In just three days, a process that would take nature tens of thousands of years to complete was completed here. They seemed to be looking for an optimal solution, an optimal solution that would allow them to survive in some kind of crisis.
And this was just the beginning. When Alejandro was finally forced out of the passage by the tentacles and returned to the hall on the 18th floor, the other members of the Cowboy Team were already ready to set off again, or should be said.
Prepare to escape again.
Just like the plan they had used before, when Alejandro crossed the cordon, the explosive bound with thermite exploded in the middle of the hall.
Because the quality of the building materials used in the shelter is very high, it is difficult for them to cause damage to the main structure of the shelter, causing a landslide-like blockage to delay the pursuers behind them, and the high temperature caused by the thermite can only be slightly
Slow down the opponent's speed.
The members of the Cowboy Team have to run very fast, because in such a confined space, the thermite will quickly consume the surrounding oxygen during the combustion process, artificially creating an area of toxic gas that is difficult for living creatures to breathe.
Alejandro caught up with the other team members from the end of the team, took the two wounded and other heavy equipment from their hands, and continued to accelerate to the front.
God knows what dangers there are in this damn place. After all, there is a canteen and a protein production center on this floor.
But before encountering the aberrations, the Cowboy Team first encountered the previous group of players who had escaped and rushed out of another door.
The opponent just took one look at the running posture of the cowboy team and his expression changed. He greeted the aborigines loudly, and then the two sides sprinted towards the safe passage to the 19th floor together as if they were competing.
While running, Alejandro kicked away a scrapped metal chair and knocked down a player. The rest of the Cowboys team did not waste the opportunity, drawing their guns and shooting from a distance of less than fifteen meters.
, using his superb marksmanship to shoot the lower limbs of those players.
Killing those players is not the purpose, using them as bait to delay the pursuit of the monster behind is the purpose.
The poor players have too little time to master modern thermal weapons. It is too difficult for them to hit moving targets while running. Even if a few people are fooled, they cannot penetrate the members of the Cowboy Squad in a hurry.
Bulletproof protective gear.
In the end, when Alejandro kicked open the door of the safe passage, let the team members file in, and then closed the door with his backhand, only three players successfully rushed to the door and were locked behind the door.
.
"Fuck!!!" Alejandro heard a player kicking the door, causing the thick armored door to shake. He completely understood why the other party was so angry. The guy's body was 80% superhuman.
, this time it is destined to suffer heavy losses.
Ten seconds later, Alejandro, who had the best hearing, heard screams coming from outside the door. Apparently, the lingering big squid had eaten those snacks.
If you're lucky, maybe it will just leave?
Alejandro and the other members of the Cowboy Team held their breath, fearing that the other party would detect their presence. They all prayed that the monster would not be smart enough to recognize people.
Unfortunately, Alejandro soon heard the sound of those tentacles knocking on the armored door. Obviously, the other party was not confused by the false target, or there was something more important than food to attract it.
"Withdraw!" Alejandro turned and left with a gloomy expression.
The environment inside the safe passage is slightly better. Apparently, during the outbreak of the plague, some survivors transformed this place into a temporary shelter.
They left behind domestic garbage all over the ground and abandoned simple tents. Although the smell was very unpleasant, it was obvious that the infected people had not been bloodbathed here, and there was no blood stain on the ground or walls.
However, some human excrement was used as paint to paint the walls. It is difficult to imagine what kind of mental state the survivors who were hiding here were in at that time.
But they soon found the answer. In the corridor leading to the 19th floor, more than a dozen dried corpses lay neatly in a row, with the homemade weapons they used to kill themselves abandoned on hand.
"They would rather die here than go out and fight for their lives, cowards." Rudolph commented as he passed by the corpse. As a result, a corpse suddenly sat up on the spot!
