Chapter 590 Strange Parasite

From the sky, they looked like a group of panicked ants in a rainstorm.

The heat wave behind it rolled like clouds, the gravel shot like arrows, and the dense explosions were galloping and roaring like a furious purgatory monster, driving away the humble and weak ants in its eyes.

No one thought that such a situation would happen. It is simply unacceptable that Kandal Island would be attacked by terrorists under the protection of a copper-like defense line. The Duke of Congreve has been in charge of the Aladale star system for 20 years, and he has treated the civilians well under his control. There has never been a large-scale terrorist attack. However, today, at such a sensitive period as Surbajo is about to become the new Duke Inside, it just happened... It was the Dengle Palace, which symbolized the Duke's authority, that suffered the terrorist attack.

What is even more incomprehensible is that there are countless early-warning facilities and combat units distributed in the tens of nautical miles around Kandal Island, which is to allow terrorists to enter the hinterland of Kandal Island to attack Dengle Palace.

They were terrified, flustered, and even angrier. Especially the Duchess, while scolding the officers in the island's outlying security zone as idiots, she vowed to catch those who dared to launch terrorist attacks at such a time, and then punish them from the nine clans, oh no, the ten clans!

No one knows that she is even more headstrong than Sulpacho.

Faced with such a situation, almost everyone selectively forgot that there was a noble corpse in the hall where the coffin was placed. He was once the most powerful person in the principality and the person they swore allegiance to.

When the bombing by the two Banshee fighter jets continued to ferment, the hidden defense facilities of Dengle Palace were activated one after another, the lawn in some sections of the garden sank, and the hidden gates slowly opened. One after another, anti-aircraft missile launchers were pushed to the surface, and some fixed-point near-anti-aircraft artillery arrays protruded from certain areas of some building facilities, sowing a dazzling rain of recoil rockets roaring down into the sky.

In addition, some unmanned attack planes and manned fighter planes also took off from the airport in the north of the island and came to Denger Palace for reinforcements.

However. What confused the officers who rushed to the ground defense headquarters at the first time was that, except for those rockets that were difficult to intercept, the radar screen could not capture the launcher at all, no matter how they increased the scanning of the enemy radar Neither frequency nor system power has any effect.

They had no choice but to ask for help from the security forces around the island, hoping that the reconnaissance ships equipped with quantum radars could find those invisible enemies.

The Duchess and the officers of the Ground Defense Command of the Denger Palace thought it was a surprise attack by terrorists targeting Surbajo. To add some entertainment to the enthronement ceremony of the young duke, some people even suspected that the attack came from some army generals who were at odds with Surbagio, or the princes who had enemies with the Duke of Congreve.

Some people think that the person who launched this terrorist attack is an out-and-out idiot,

Why choose today to create trouble for Sulbacho's accession to the throne? Wouldn't it be better to postpone it for a few days and wait for the arrival of the envoys of other princes of the kingdom and the seventh prince who came to express condolences on behalf of His Majesty the King?

No one knew that things were not as complicated as they thought. This was just Captain Tang's trick to divert the attention of the people present and create a favorable environment for his next actions.

As early as the start of the attack, the attendants and bodyguards in the lounge immediately picked up the master inside, and ran to the location of the air defense facility at the highest speed, while Tang Fang, Aros, and Erma took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the hall where the coffin was placed , Waiting for the nobles and officials to leave and walk to the coffin.

Alma didn't know what Tang Fang was planning, but she knew that the chaos outside came from the two Banshee fighters. So she settled down to watch his actions carefully, because she was very curious about what in this hall was more attractive than Philips and old Benny, so he would not hesitate to startle the snake.

While thinking about it. Tang Fang ordered to Oval: "Open it."

Next, Elma saw an unimaginable scene. In her eyes, Earl Auvar was no longer stooped, but straightened his spine. The flesh tissue of the ten fingers of his hands swelled and squirmed, and the phalanx swelled, turning into a hard material that made people feel cold. The sharp bony spurs were stroked and lifted again and again at the sealed part of the transparent coffin, and the coffin opened in response.

Alma couldn't help taking a step back. More or less scared.

As a woman, suddenly confronted with a dead body. Inevitably there will be fear.

Roy didn't move, but turned his head to look at Tang Fang, wondering why he ordered the mimetic chick to open the coffin, it was just a dead body, there was nothing to see, even though he was a noble duke before his death.

Aros moved slightly to the side, blocking Erma with his body.

With a thought in Tang Fang's mind, the huge body of the Queen of Worms walked out from the several people facing each other, making a mess of the flowers and decorations.

Erma's eyes were wide open, and she couldn't help but took three steps back, sitting on the ground with her buttocks, her face was as white as snow, and her teeth were chattering.

When had she ever seen such a tank-sized alien? If Tang Fang, Roy and the others hadn't moved, and had seen "Oval"'s hand mutate before, she had some mental preparations, and I'm afraid she would have been unable to bear it. He kept screaming and even ran away.

She has seen too many unbelievable things today, more than the sum of her 20 years of life, invisible fighters, shapeshifters, and ferocious monsters coming out of black holes. At this moment, she finally understood why Howson admired Captain Tang so much, and almost blindly believed that there was nothing he couldn't do in this world.

Roy looked at her and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. He thought it was not good to do so. After holding back for a long time, he finally suppressed the smile on his chest, scratched his scalp and said, "Don't be afraid, it is very docile."

Using the word "docile" to describe a ferocious alien with sharp appendages, long spider-like legs, and a body as big as a tank, she thinks that either Roy's brain is broken, or her own brain is broken. Lost.

On the other side, Tang Fang ignored the trembling Alma behind him, and sent an order to the Queen of Worms.

In the next second, the queen stretched out one of the thinnest appendages and sent it into Congreve's body bit by bit.

He was waiting, Roy was waiting, and Aros was waiting.

Alma felt her legs regain some strength gradually, and tried to get up from the ground.

At this moment, he yelled: "No!" He hooked Aros and Roy's bodies with his hands and retreated.

Suddenly, there was a sound like a vesicle bursting in the coffin. A blood-colored tentacle as thick as an arm swept aside, quickly entangled the unresponsive "Oval", and pulled it hard into the coffin.

Sigh...

With a hiss, "Oval" began to twist and deform, changing from a nobleman in a suit and leather shoes to a hideous one. A monster covered in horrible tumors.

Alma trembled in fright, and her body that had just straightened up collapsed to the ground again, and then was picked up by Tang Fang, and quickly backed away.

At the same time, there was another blood-colored tentacle as thick as a thumb, crawling up the queen's appendage like a dexterous snake. He didn't dare to neglect, and sent the self-harm order immediately. The thick appendage on the back of the insect was like a sharp long knife, slashing across from top to bottom, cutting off the connection between the small appendage and the body, quickly retreating, and returning to nothingness.

Tang Fang hugged Erma and retreated about three feet before stopping. Turning around and looking at the coffin in the center of the hall, the fake Oval has completely transformed into a mimetic larva, being pulled into the coffin bit by bit by the blood sausage-like tentacles.

Congreve had sat up from the coffin at some point. Of course, he hadn't come back to life, only his flesh had come back to life.

Something like tentacles protruded from his face, chin, and forehead, blood and pus dripped drop by drop, and even an eyeball protruded from its socket. Hang it at the level of your mouth and shake it back and forth.

Alma finally couldn't bear the emotion in her heart and let out a scream.

Roy's face was also slightly pale, and no one would be calm when they saw a disgusting corpse crawling out of the coffin.

Tang Fang's expression didn't change much. It's just that the frown is tighter.

As soon as the queen sent the alarm, he knew that something had changed. It wasn't that Congreve was still alive, but the things inside him were still alive, and he felt it when the queen's appendages were inserted into the corpse for inspection with phantom power. When threatened, it wakes up from the dormant state and launches a counterattack against the object it regards as the enemy.

He and Alma backed away quickly. Emma came to a conclusion by analyzing the dna fragments of dormant creatures in Congreve's body intercepted by the queen. That thing has a genetic structure similar to the epic creatures such as evil eyes and giant snakes encountered before.

The dormant things in Duke Congreve's body, or the parasitic things, are actually of the same family as epic creatures like evil eyes and giant snakes. This is a bit unacceptable. Whether it's the bat demon on the Nami star, the mushroom monster on the jump relay station, or the aqbd-1 asexual jellyfish in the Acubado star system, they are all heterogeneous creatures with a certain size, like this guy who exists in a parasitic manner It was the first time he met.

In any case, although the information sent by the queen was incomplete, it would not be false. Since this kind of parasitic creature was of the same family as the epic creature, it must not be easy to mess with.

There is one more thing he can't figure out. Congreve is an elderly duke who spends most of his time at Dengle Palace on Kandal Island, and many government affairs that require long journeys are also handed over to Surba. Agent Joe, in such an environment, how did he come into contact with epic creatures and be parasitized?

Of course, the most important thing right now is how to deal with the "zombie" in the coffin.

He tried to direct the mimetic chick to stab Congreve's body with its sharp fingers, which was a bit cruel. After all, the old duke had never done anything that made people angry, and whipping the corpse should not have happened to him. But he had no choice but to do so.

Mimic larvae come from insect swarms, and their strength is much stronger than that of humans. If it is an ordinary flesh and blood body, it can be torn into countless palm-sized corpses in a few breaths.

It's a pity that what it encountered today was a "zombie". The sharp fingers pierced Congreve's body and was entangled and wrapped by countless blood-colored tentacles that emerged from the wound. , swallowing the whole arm in the blink of an eye, and pulling it into the coffin together with the blood sausage that had entangled the mimic chick earlier.

Tang Fang quietly released a detector, ready to scan Congreve's body in detail to determine whether the "zombie" has a heart-like door like the dryad encountered in the underground of Akron.

At the same time, the whole body of the mimetic larva that was pulled into the broken coffin covered Congreve's body, looking like two dried salted fish tied together.

This state did not last long, and through the "eyes" of the detector, he saw an extremely horrifying scene.

Congreve's body was torn apart from the middle, and there was a sound of cracking bones, and countless viscous plasma and mucous membranes flowed down. The internal organs of the chest cavity were exposed, covered with colorful short tentacles like maggots, bloody and disgusting.

Immediately afterwards, it just swallowed the mimic larva into its stomach, or it would be more accurate to say that it was stuffed into its stomach.

The torn ribcage began to tighten like a beast's mouth. Swallow the lower body of the mimic larva bit by bit. At the same time, Congreve's jaw was opened in the middle, all the way up to the nasal cavity, several bloody tentacles that looked like wriggling worms protruded from the mouth and nasal cavity, shaking around in the air, one of them was curled up and hung over the mouth An eyeball popped hard. A splash of slurry.

vomit……

Alma couldn't bear it when she saw only the change in Congreve's head, and she vomited indistinctly.

The veteran took her from Tang Fang's hands without any expression of disgust on his face. Roy held his right arm in front of his chest, and the blue meridians were like raised tree roots.

A zealot flashed from nothingness and used the "Charge" skill to fly to the coffin. Raising the knife in his hand, the psychic blade slashed down like a guillotine, splitting the coffin in half, and Congreve inside was also split into two.

It didn't just die, even though it was cut in half by a fanatic.

Numerous writhing granulation sprouts emerged from the wounds of the abdominal cavity and lower limbs, elongated and combined at an extremely fast speed, like elastic rubber bands, and the upper body and lower limbs were reassembled and stitched together. And then it just stood up.

Most of the mimic larva has been devoured, leaving only a huge mass of sarcoma falling on the bloody belly, except for the bloody tentacles dancing in the mouth and nostrils. Congreve's body shook a few times, his back protruded like cysts, and two thick appendages, like a queen's, grew out from the inside of his shoulder blades. Blood dripped from the tips and fell to the ground into a ball of stinky blood. mud.

A golden light flashed in front of Tang Fang, and another fanatic appeared in the real space. Together with the zealot on the opposite side, they formed a flanking posture and sandwiched the dead Duke of Congreve in the middle.

next second. The 2 zealots attack at the same time, turning into 2 blue afterimages. Immediately rushing to Congreve's side, the 4 dark blue light knives surrounded by flames were like death hurricanes, dismembering the 2-meter-high corpse into several pieces...even the two appendages were no exception.

Plasma and minced meat spread a thick layer on the ground, and many maggot-like parasites were blown away by the thrust generated by the rupture of the vesicles, and landed on the surface of the fanatic's plasma shield, turning into streaks of pungent smoke.

At this moment, Tang Fang's face changed drastically, and he pushed the veteran and Roy back, shouted and held his breath.

Light and shadow flashed in front of him again, and a stasis ball and mechanical sentinel appeared in the field.

The energy ball at the tail of the mechanical sentinel shone brightly, and the "Guardian's Shield" was activated, and a high-transparency photon shield enveloped the four people behind. At the same time, the stasis ball set up a "force field" in front of it to confine the entire space.

Tang Fang quickly took out 3 sets of power armor and threw them to the 3 people, and ordered: "Put it on." Then, regardless of Alma who was at a loss, she put on the harsh environment protective suit as quickly as possible.

He never thought that the seemingly weak Congreve would be so difficult to deal with, as weird as a phagocytic polymer.

According to the detection results of the detectors suspended in mid-air, the gaseous particles formed after the death of those maggot-like parasites are biologically toxic, and can also be said to be a deadly virus that can infect living things through the respiratory tract.

The fact that a fanatic is immune does not mean that humans are also immune, but fortunately, he reacted in time and blocked it with the "Guardian's Shield" and "Force Field", and finally avoided inhaling those poisonous fumes.

With a little effort, he put on the harsh environment protective clothing, and Elma also finished the outfit with the help of the veteran and Roy, so as to avoid exposure to the polluted environment.

Instructing the veteran to teach Alma Ma Runjia how to use it, he looked towards the opposite side of the "force field" with a sullen face.

Those corpses that have been cut into several sections are still alive, just like what happened after being cut in half at the beginning, there will be resonance between the pieces of meat, the granulation along the edge of the knife stretches rapidly, grows relatively, and finally combines into one strand, tearing the flesh apart. The blocks come together to restore their original shape.

Two zealots tried to stop them, but even if they were cut into pieces smaller than a finger, they could still reintegrate into large pieces of tissue, and even obtain evolution. The clumps of granulation wriggled on the ground to drive the main body of the fleshy pieces like countless bloody little snakes It gathered together like that, and turned into a disgusting mass of rotten meat again.

In the end, Congreve's face was just pieces of battered skin, crookedly stuck to the head of the rotten flesh.

Not only that, because of the frequent cutting by zealots, more and more parasites died, turning into virus-causing clouds and spreading. Even though he couldn't see it with his eyes, Tang Fang knew better than anyone else the harm that would be brought if this went on --- once he escaped from the main hall, went away against the wind, and arrived at the continent where Fort Knoll is located, a tragic catastrophe was bound to erupt Catastrophe.

He could only order the fanatics to suspend their attack, and let the pieces of meat gather together and turn into a ferocious corpse beast.

Due to the double blocking of "Force Field" and "Guardian's Shield", the virus-causing cloud cannot pose a threat to the four people, which does not mean that the situation will continue to be deadlocked.

When the defensive facilities hidden underground in Dengle Palace were activated one after another, the Duchess finally remembered that Congreve's body was still unattended in the palace, and hurriedly ordered the security department to send someone to carry it, because in the next few days, people all over the kingdom The envoys of the princes will arrive one after another. If the body of the old duke is blown to pieces in this terrorist attack, it will be a great shame to the Kenar family. (to be continued)
