The centipede, which was spliced together from its stumps and minced meat, appeared in the sunlight for a moment. It twisted and trembled in pain for a moment. Then, it quickly crawled out from the depths of the alley and climbed to the greenhouse that had not been blown up.
Hiding underneath, he settled back into the darkness.
The remaining believers saw that the centipede was afraid of the sun, so they tacitly picked up their guns and refused to shoot the centipede. They wanted to knock down the roof of the tent and expose the centipede to the sun.
Centipede saw what these believers were thinking and swung its tail again, this time faster.
Several believers originally wanted to use the old method to avoid the attack of the centipede's tail, but a jet of thick black mucus suddenly spurted out from the barb at the end of the tail.
The mucus sprayed onto two of the cultists, and they immediately screamed in pain. The parts of their bodies that had not been mechanically modified began to quickly fester and rot. The flesh turned up and turned into a disgusting black color. The wounds were still there.
There was white smoke coming out, as if it had been burned by high temperature.
Their mechanical legs and arms were not much better either. Several densely packed metal holes were immediately eroded, and the circuits inside were exposed.
While they were screaming in pain, the centipede's upper body suddenly stretched out, and its head was made up of the upper body of a monster.
But a layer of human skin was sewn onto the upper body of the monster. This layer of human skin blocked it from some of the sunlight. Although the extent of its resistance was limited, it could still help it survive for a while.
It grabbed the two screaming cultists with its head, and the two hands on the monster's upper body acted as two sharp fangs of a centipede. It directly picked up the two cultists and held them hanging in the air.
Then, it dragged the two believers and quickly hid back into the darkness.
The sound of "cracking, popping, popping" came, and in just a few seconds, the two believers were eaten up completely, not even the metal residue was left.
"Go get help!"
In the end, there were only two believers left. As soon as one of them finished saying this, before the other one could run out of the alley, the centipede came up again.
It stretched out its entire body this time, and the two believers discovered that this spliced alien centipede had a bloody mouth on its abdomen.
It was this mouth that mercilessly devoured several of their companions.
It's too late to run away at this point!
The legs on the alien centipede are all monster or human limbs. At this moment, they are propped on the ground, supporting their entire body, and then they rise into the air, like a blanket, and fall on the last two believers.
The big mouth on the abdomen was opened wide, facing the two believers.
The two believers had part of their nerves cut off and had no fear at all. Seeing the alien centipede rushing towards them, they raised their guns and tried to shoot into the centipede's mouth to resist.
Then the bullet was shot into the big mouth on the centipede's abdomen, causing no damage at all. It seems that the big mouth on the centipede's abdomen also has a hard shell inside, which is as unbreakable as the exoskeleton.
The big mouth smashed down, and then the two believers were swallowed into the stomach.
This time, the centipede swallowed both of them without even chewing.
After enjoying his food, the centipede quietly disappeared into the darkness, as if nothing had happened.
It is waiting for the next batch of prey to arrive.
...
"It was in that residential building that they lost contact, so be careful when going in to search."
Another group of believers came to this residential building. They lost contact with the previous group of fifteen people, and their last address before losing contact was the dark and dilapidated floor-to-ceiling housing complex in front of them.
They speculated that there might be something hidden in this residential building that caused the fifteen-person team to encounter an accident.
After obtaining Wansui's consent, another team of thirty people came to the residential building.
Wan Sui received the message and saw that he couldn't find anything useful in other places in Huangcheng, so he also rushed here.
Maybe Hao Yuanshan used that community as his base.
Before Wan Sui's arrival, this team of thirty people was ordered to go in and investigate to see if they could find any key information left behind by the previous team.
As soon as they entered the community, the captain of the thirty-man team noticed something was wrong.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and a strong stench. The stench must have existed for a long time and was solidified in the air. But the bloody smell was very fresh and it must have been diffused just now.
"Be careful and don't act rashly!"
The captain once again gave instructions to the following believers.
Although the team in front was not as numerous as them, they were still fully armed. To be defeated so easily, the opponent must not be a good person.
All the believers nodded, and then cautiously walked into the residential area.
It's very dark here, and there are moss crawling everywhere on the ground.
The doors of some floor-to-ceiling rooms were kicked open, presumably as a result of the search by the previous team.
They entered these rooms for a brief look, but found no useful clues, so they quickly left.
The deeper you go into the alley, the stronger the smell becomes.
He was obviously not afraid, but goosebumps appeared on the captain's body involuntarily, as if there was something in the air stimulating his body that had not yet been transformed, and some nerves that had not been completely cut off.
Since the space was too small, they could only be divided into two people in a row and walked in the alley one by one.
In fact, it is very dangerous. If you encounter an accident, it is difficult to respond in time, and it is easy to be outflanked and trapped. This is why street fighting is a good way to protect your home.
But it was a helpless move at this moment, and we couldn't forcefully break open the surrounding floor-to-ceiling houses to avoid alerting the enemy.
"Shashasha..."
"Crack, bang, bang..."
Weird sounds sounded at an inappropriate time as the believers moved along the stench.
"All alert!"
The captain shouted, and he took the lead in raising his gun.
In fact, he was not that worried. After all, he had undergone intense transformation, and even a metal barrier was installed in front of his heart for protection. Ordinary bullets could not penetrate his body at all.
The moment he raised his gun, his team members also raised their guns with him.
Aiming at the alley ahead, the captain stopped for a long time and never moved forward.
Finally, he gave up waiting. He stepped forward slowly, his eyes quickly observing the surroundings.
There was some light in front of him. He walked along the light and saw a pit that had been blasted deep in the alley. On the ground in front of the pit, two guns equipped with tactical flashlights were lying on the ground.
As soon as he saw this gun, the captain knew that something must have happened to those guys, otherwise he would not have left all the guys he relied on to survive here.
But what exactly did they encounter?
Just when the captain was confused, a loud shout suddenly came from behind the team:
"It's a centipede!"
The captain turned around suddenly and saw a huge alien centipede hanging from the shed at some point in the place they had just passed.
The centipede's black shell, its broken limbs and hands were all stained with blood, and there were some slight bullet marks.
It had been hanging under the shed just now, quietly waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack!
The first time he saw it, the captain knew that it was this thing that caused the whole team in front to be wiped out.
"attack!"
Just as the captain roared, Centipede took the lead and launched an attack.
Its tail was raised high, its curved barbs spread out, and a jet of black mucus spurted out from inside.
The captain could see clearly that the curved barb looked more like a scimitar smelted from the monster's head than the hook on the tail of a centipede. When it opened, it was the hook on the monster's head.
His mouth opened and pus spurted out of his mouth.
Sure enough, the captain's guess was correct. If you look closely at the hook on the centipede's tail, you can see that it is indeed composed of distorted faces.
It was like throwing countless monster heads into a frying pan, burning them thoroughly, and then bonding the edges together, finally forming this ghostly appearance.
The mucus shot onto a group of believers. The mucus was highly corrosive and poisonous. They immediately screamed loudly. The powerful poison paralyzed their nerves. They began to roll and twist on the ground as if their bodies were on fire.
.
The centipede jumped down and jumped into the group. Then, it grabbed a few believers and began to bite them without caring about anything else.
The captain quickly realized that they must not fight the centipede in this alley. The terrain here was so bad that it completely put them at a disadvantage. They now had to find a way to go outside the residential building and fight the centipede in an open space.
.
And looking at the components of this centipede, it has been hiding in dark and damp places, so it must be afraid of the sun.
But behind is the end of the alley, and the way out is blocked by centipedes. It's not easy to rush out.
While he was thinking of a way, the centipede had already swallowed several believers into its stomach. Its huge body was like a big, strong buffalo, wider than the alley. When it approached the captain, it squeezed the surrounding floor-to-ceiling rooms.
They were all shaky and seemed about to collapse.
Seeing the floor-to-ceiling room, the captain suddenly had an idea in his mind.
If we could blow up the surrounding floor-to-ceiling buildings and suppress this giant centipede, would we be able to solve it?
Thinking of this, the captain immediately took out the grenade and shouted to several believers around him:
"Blow up the floor-to-ceiling house and collapse it. Crush it down and crush the centipede!"
When several believers heard this, they all took out grenades and imitated the captain's behavior.
The captain took a look and saw that the floor-to-ceiling room on the right was about to collapse, and it still lacked the final push.
He shouted:
"On the right, blow up the one on the right!"
Then, he took the lead in throwing the grenade to the floor-to-ceiling room on the right, and several believers quickly followed him and threw the grenade over.
It was also at this time that the centipede crawling on the ground was approaching them. The captain could already clearly see the human skin covering its head.
That's not just one human skin, it's countless human skins sewn together!
Just hearing several consecutive "boom" explosions, a corner of the floor-to-ceiling house on the right exploded first, and then cracks appeared in the entire house from bottom to top.
The cracks spread, and with a "bang", the floor-to-ceiling house collapsed!
One building collapsed, followed by dominoes, and then two, three, four buildings collapsed...
Finally, they fell to the ground and hit the centipede.
"Retreat first!"
In order to avoid being affected, the team leader took the remaining believers and ran towards the end of the alley the moment the floor-to-ceiling house was smashed down. It would be better to stay as far away as possible.
After being transformed, their running speed increased significantly, and soon they were far away from the collapsed house. Occasionally, a few bricks fell down and hit them, but they did not feel any pain.
After the floor-to-ceiling houses collapsed, the originally narrow and cramped community had now turned into a dusty ruin.
Bricks mixed with bricks, and cement concrete were piled on top of each other, suppressing the centipede underneath.
The centipede was struggling, but the ruins were too heavy and it was impossible for it to escape.
"call."
The captain breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the few believers still standing around him and was about to report the situation to Wan Sui.
Unexpectedly, the centipede, which was originally thought to be impossible to break free, suddenly shook the ruins it was pressing on, and bricks and dust kept falling down, as if it were shaking a sieve.
The next second, the huge centipede stood up again from under the ruins.
It became more violent, uglier and more ferocious.
The human skin on its head had two large holes, revealing the shell on its back. The shell shone with dark light and color, like a dark bullet, exuding an aura of death.
It pounced towards the captain and others!
In a flash of lightning, the captain and others were swallowed into its stomach.
As if to vent its anger, the centipede chewed hard on the corpses of the captain and others, chewing them into pieces of minced meat and even pools of minced meat.
Finally, it was mixed with metal slag and swallowed into the stomach together.
Wansui and others arrived at the scene just in time.
She only saw a ruins and an alien twisted centipede on the ruins. The centipede was very, very long.
It grows until the entire body is fully stretched out and can cover half of the residential area.
At this time, it was retaliating by eating those few believers. When it heard the movement behind it, it turned its head and looked at Wan Sui and others.
It was at this moment that a man hiding in the dark grinned.
"The gods are right. These guys have really come to attack our Holy City. If you dare to attack the Holy City, I will have you buried with me one by one."
Next to his seat, there was a tape recorder. Hao Yuanshan's voice came from the tape recorder, which was a recording of him reading the Bible.
The man pressed the button on the truck and opened the huge cabin behind the truck.
As soon as the cabin door opened, a bunch of monsters sewn with human skin poured out from the back of the truck.
With the protection of human skin, they no longer die so easily when exposed to sunlight.
After getting off the truck, they were exposed to the sunlight outside. They first twisted in pain for a few times. Then they realized that the sunlight could not kill them so quickly, and they began to follow their instincts and look for any prey they could see.
The man in the truck became their first target.
They swarmed into the truck frantically, banging on the truck's windows, trying to pull the man out of the truck.
However, the man was not afraid. He held the tape recorder and listened to Hao Yuanshan's voice intoxicatedly.
Hao Yuanshan has long known that his opposition to the Prophet Cult will inevitably arouse their hatred. As the saying goes, Huangcheng is only one of his bases. After receiving Wang Zhian's call last night, he quickly left Huangcheng.
As for the man in the truck, he is the "holy boy" he left behind in the deserted city.
To be called a holy child means to act as a death squad.
Whether it was this alien centipede or the monsters in human skin that he released, they were all the work of a force subordinate to Hao Yuanshan.
That force fully embodies what is human wisdom and perversion. After they find the monster's weakness, they are no longer satisfied with killing and avoiding the monster, but want to find ways to use the monster for themselves.
One way they thought of was to sew a living person and the body of a monster together, and another way they thought of was to put the monster in human skin.
Although they failed to find a way to control the monster in the end, they kept the monster in captivity. When they wanted to massacre others on a large scale, they released the monster.
This group of people have long since lost all conscience and morality. They follow Hao Yuanshan only because Hao Yuanshan's superpower is like marijuana when read, giving them a pleasure that is even more pleasurable than killing.
At this time, the group of monsters had broken the window of the truck cab and rushed in.
They grabbed the man and gnawed at his flesh and blood.
But at the last moment of his life, the man was still reading along with Hao Yuanshan’s voice on the tape recorder:
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the way I should go, I have kept the way I should keep. From now on, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness."
