Chapter 591 Ate Again

Therefore, five soldiers were sent to the hall where the coffin was located to transfer the body of the old duke.

Tang Fang ordered Roy to close the door of the hall before opening the coffin. It was difficult to see the situation inside from the outside. The five soldiers rushed to the target area in a hurry. Seeing that the explosion did not affect the hall, they all breathed a sigh of relief. But when the leading captain pushed open the door at the end of the lounge and saw the scene inside the hall, all five soldiers stayed where they were.

They never expected that such a terrifying monster would appear in front of them. There were 2 golden armored generals beside them, and 4 other strangers wearing power armor in the corner of the room. In front of the leading man were two very strange monsters floating in front of them. However, the coffin of the Duke of Congreve turned into countless fragments and scattered on the messy ground, mixed with the dark brown viscous substances.

"What...who?"

The leader of the small team suppressed the panic in his heart and asked in a trembling voice.

Perhaps he would have lived longer if he had not spoken. It's a pity that there are not so many ifs in the world, just like the magic sound that awakens evil spirits, the corpse beast let out a roar, and a line of scarlet shot out from its opened mouth.

The speed is very fast, only slightly slower than the bone spear of Tai Sui in the "Christian" Industrial Park.

The straight-line distance between the high platform where the coffin is located and the gate of the palace is about 20 meters, and the height of the corpse beast is only 2 meters, which should be beyond reach.

It's a pity that this is not the case, not only the line of scarlet is shot, but also Congreve's distorted head. It's hard to imagine that its neck can support it across a distance of more than 20 meters like an infinitely stretchable rubber band, wrapping the team leader's body with the thick tentacles in its mouth, and pulling it back suddenly.

da da da da...

The fire flashed from the muzzle of the "Executioner" assault rifle, and the bullets left a row of dense bullet holes on the ceiling of the hall—they originated from the subconscious shooting behavior of the squad leader.

Until the corpse beast tore open its chest cavity again like swallowing a mimic larva. After devouring the squad leader with his guns, the four soldiers in front of the door came to their senses. They didn't dare to resist, and turned around and ran out.

The horrifying scene just now had completely defeated their will to fight, and all they could think about was how to escape. Instead of fighting back and saving people. However, the four of them fell to the ground one after another not long after they ran outside, and they didn't even go out to the lounge outside.

Tang Fang's face suddenly became more gloomy. He didn't expect that the virus-causing cloud would be so powerful, and the onset time was unbelievably fast. It seems that the general attack method is difficult to be effective, and it will endanger the humans of "Adia". It needs to use powerful firepower to directly smash it into slag like it did when dealing with the phagocytic polymer in "Crystal" and "Archesy".

The key hall is too narrow for Thor to use it, and I don't know if ordinary weapons have any effect on it.

Just as he was thinking about the problem, the corpse beast's body began to swell after swallowing the team leader, and milky white vesicles bulged out of its body surface one after another. Through a thin layer of outer membrane, one can see blood-colored parasites wriggling inside.

In the lounge, the four soldiers who had fallen to the ground got up from the ground, like puppets without their souls, and walked into the hall step by step.

Through the electronic eyes of the harsh-environment protective suit, Tang Fang could see thread-like worms wriggling and passing under their skin, and multiplying at an extremely fast speed.

I thought that those virus-causing gases could quickly incapacitate people, even life, but I didn't expect them to be able to transform human tissues into parasites in a short period of time, which was even more terrifying than the Zerg Queen's "egg laying" skill. At least the parasites of the Zerg race do not have the ability to control the behavior of the parasite like the bloody parasites in front of them.

After the 4 soldiers entered the hall, 2 walked towards the corpse beast that had swelled to 2.5 meters, and 2 roared a few times facing the fanatics. Then, just like Congreve's initial mutation, the mouth split into four petals, five or six blood-red twisting tentacles gushed out of it, and a provocative roar came out of his throat.

He didn't expect that these parasites still have group consciousness, and their intelligence level seems to be higher than that of phagosome polymers, but their combat effectiveness is much weaker. Back then, the "Tai Sui" in the hangar of the "Christian" industrial park had devoured fanatics, even the "Psionic Storm" of high-ranking templars could absorb it. The corpse beasts in front of them are obviously not good, they can't even break the fanatic's plasma shield.

"Brother Tang, do you want to close the door of the main hall?"

Roy walked up to him from behind, shook his blackened arm, and asked for his opinion.

Although the copycat alex?r and the veteran didn't know that the white smoke from the parasites killed by the fanatics was a kind of virus-causing gas, they could more or less guess what happened to the five soldiers.

Tang Fang said no, and then sent an order to the mechanical sentinel.

In the next second, a "force field" appeared at the entrance of the lounge, completely blocking the escape path of the poisonous cloud, and at the same time summoned 2 fire ranges and 2 evil bats, intending to use them to test the corpse beast's ability to deal with high-temperature flames. Resistance, after all, whether in film and television works or some novels, flames have always been the nemesis of viruses and aliens.

At the same time, Congreve's corpse beast swallowed the two soldiers again, and his body size skyrocketed to over 3 meters tall, like a light tank. The thick bloody tentacles in the mouth whipped the "force field" one after another.

Tang Fang knew that he couldn't let it continue to grow, and with a thought, 2 Huofu and 2 Evil Bats appeared on the high platform where the corpse beast was.

The firebats took the lead in attacking, spraying balls of high-temperature plasma at the corpse beast transformed by the 2 soldiers, while the evil bats surrounded the big guy under the cover of fanatics, activated the hellfire injector, and poured a stream of plasma on the corpse beast's body. Road flames.

There was a strange smell in the air, one large, two small and three corpse beasts roared miserably, and even the concentration of deadly virus in the air was decreasing.

However, this is not enough to wipe out the giant corpse beast completely.

When the corpse beast transformed by the two soldiers was incinerated into two cokes by the high-temperature plasma, countless vesicles on the surface of the corpse beast burst, and countless parasites were pushed into the air and fell like raindrops.

Some of them were ignited by the flames and turned into wisps of white smoke, and some fell to the ground. Wriggling body to escape.

There are many such vesicles on the body surface of the large corpse beast, which are full of large and small maggot-like parasites. When they scramble to leave the mother's body and escape in all directions, one can imagine what it will be like.

Tang Fang felt his scalp go numb. Trypophobia made him feel bad.

The heavily injured giant corpse beast began to fight back, and countless blood-red tentacles drilled out from the mouth and vesicle rupture, wrapping around the two vicious bats at an extremely fast speed.

Its speed is fast, and the reaction speed of fanatics is faster. The spiritual blade cuts tentacles one after another into two, and the flame behind them keeps up. Roast the twisted and struggling flesh on the ground to return to the mother's body into pieces of burnt meat.

With the cooperation of Zealots, Hellbats, and Firebats, the corpse beasts were dismembered into large and small pieces of meat, and became cokes emitting white smoke under the flamethrower.

The entire hall was burning, and the high temperature burned the statue of Jesus on the wall, which fell to the ground and fell to pieces. The surrounding flowers and fiber products are burnt into one piece. The flames spread to the audience, igniting the tables, chairs and carpets, setting off a hunting fire.

Only the place where Tang Fang and the others were standing was blocked by the force field and survived.

The Gargoyle eventually fell to the billowing flames of the Hellfire Thrower, but that didn't mean the battle was over, on the contrary, it only got worse.

The small corpse beasts transformed by those two soldiers, together with the large corpse beast transformed by Congreve, sprayed out a large number of bloody parasites during the battle just now. In a short time, it filled the entire hall.

On the window lattices, on the pillars, on the gauze curtains. In the corners... wherever there is no flame, there are them. With the firepower of Hellbats and Firebats, it would take a long time to pass through the entire hall, and the relatively low-temperature flames around the flame stream could not completely kill them, and the core temperature must be used to completely destroy them.

Now there is no time for them to clean up these parasites, because during the battle just now, in order to ensure that the power of the flames sprayed by Hellbat and Firebat will not be affected, he has ordered the fanatics to destroy the fire protection system, so that the fire in the hall is getting worse and worse. big. There was no telling when the collapse would happen, once those virus-causing clouds or parasites escaped to the outside world. God knows what disaster will happen, if it really causes a catastrophe. Would he not be a sinner to the people of "Aetea".

The temperature of the flames in the hall is not high enough to kill parasites and virus-causing clouds; the evil bats and fire bats don't have enough time to clear the field.

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down as much as possible, concentrated on thinking for a moment, took back the Zealots, Hellbats, and Firebats, and released a cockroach. The stasis ball and the mechanical sentinel continuously used the "force field" skills, and a translucent energy film was pasted on the wall to seal the entire building.

In the end, he summoned 3 Widow mines in a row, activated the delayed detonation function, and drilled into the crypt dug by the cockroaches together with Aros, Roy, and Alma.

The fighting outside is still going on, and the bombing target of the banshee fighters has been transferred from the building complex where the clock tower is located to the administrative office area in the north of the garden.

Because Congreve's body is placed in the south of the garden, the most important thing recently is the Duke's funeral. The administrative work is almost at a standstill. Naturally, there are not many people in the administrative area. Naturally, it will not cause too many casualties, and it can attract the park's defense. Power of sight.

In addition, the reconnaissance ships and combat aircraft dispatched by the island's outer security zone have also arrived, and are carrying out all-round and no dead-end reconnaissance operations in the northern part of the park.

At this moment, Dou heard a huge explosion sound from the area where the coffin of the Duke of Congreve was parked in the southern area. The ground of the entire island was shaken. The glass windows of some buildings burst in response, and mushroom clouds billowed in the distance. , the shock wave formed a hurricane, and the vegetation with a radius of hundreds of meters was instantly scorched yellow under the high temperature. .

The buildings of the Dengle Palace are very strong, and the shock waves produced by the explosion of the three widow mines could not collapse them. Only some fragile structures, such as glass windows, wooden products, decorations, etc., were shattered and blown away.

Of course, the widow mine's damage to the buildings is second to none, and its deterrent effect on the park's defense forces is the most deadly.

I thought that the only terrorists sneaking into the island were a few stealth aircraft raging in the northern part of the park, but I didn't expect that there were such heavyweight things as tactical nuclear weapons.

During such a sensitive period, a large part of the nobles and high-ranking officials in the Knar family territory came to Kandal Island. Together with the Knar family members, this small island gathered almost more than half of the power holders in the entire duchy. If all these people died in a terrorist attack, one can imagine what impact it would have on the Dukedom, and even affect the situation in the entire kingdom.

The commander in charge of defense did not dare to be negligent, and immediately ordered to change the combat policy, changing the focus from counterattack to evacuation. Send important people away from the island as soon as possible, and then attack the terrorists.

At the same time, rubble rustled in the corner of the ruins where Congreve's coffin was placed, large pieces of building wreckage were uncovered from below, and the four people from Tang Fang came out one by one from the crypt.

Because the nuclear explosion had just passed, no one dared to go there. Only one reconnaissance drone flew under the clouds and was shot down by a dragon.

According to the scanning results of the detectors, the virus-causing bacteria had been completely incinerated under the flames generated by the explosion of the three widow mines. With the intensity and range of action of the heat radiation, there was no danger of spreading the bacteria.

learned of such a situation. With a little peace of mind, he walked up to Roy and ordered the suitcase to be opened.

In the battle just now, he had ordered the fanatics to leave a small specimen of the dead beast. First, it could be handed over to Valentine to analyze the dna composition, and to find out the characteristics of this alien life form that seemed to be of the same family as the epic creature. Second, it could be Try to see if you can unlock the new Zerg unit --- he is skeptical about this, because the only Zerg unit left in StarCraft 2 is the Ultralisk that has not been unlocked. With the ability of Duke Congreve's Corpse Beast, it obviously has nothing to do with Ultralisk, even if there is no new unit to unlock. It would be nice to be able to improve Abathur's unlocking progress.

Roy hesitated, and said, "Brother Tang, are you sure you want to do this?"

Tang Fang smiled slightly and raised his right hand: "Don't worry, it's fine."

"Then...be careful."

Seeing the electric arc bouncing off his palm, the half-child felt a little relieved. Press the unlock button of the cooler.

There was a chirping sound, and a burst of cold air spewed out from the crack. Without hesitation, Tang Fang stretched out his arm towards the charred corpse on the left side of the refrigerator.

The moment his palm touched the scorched ball. The system interface in my mind went dark, and after 3 seconds, with a beep, a string of characters flashed before my eyes.

", restart... ok!"

"..."

"s..."

"...15%...44%...87%..."

"release."

"w!"

"..."

Thinking back to when the system unlocked lurkers, queens and other first-generation units, such a scene appeared. Combined with the strange ability of corpse beasts, he felt that it was possible to unlock the first-generation polluters (scorpions), but he felt a little unreasonable, because according to AI Ma's analysis of the dna fragments of the dead beasts provided by the queen of the first worm found that it was closer to the family of epic creatures than to the polymer of phagosomes.

He decided to go to the Zerg base to investigate by himself, so he turned his attention to the system space.

At this moment, an unexpected thing happened. One of the two parasites placed on the right side of the refrigerator suddenly turned into a blood arrow, and when he was distracted, he shot straight at the door from bottom to top.

Unexpectedly, these parasites are afraid of high temperature, not afraid of cold, and still retain their vitality in an environment of minus 30 degrees.

Seeing Tang Fang froze in place, unaware that the crisis was approaching, Roy, who had always been 12 points wary of the two specimens in the refrigerator, yelled suddenly, his right arm instantly blackened, and his reaction speed was faster than the parasite's rate of fire Take out a large portion, scoop it up in the air, grab the parasite directly in the palm of your hand, and close the refrigerator immediately to prevent the second parasite from coming out.

He originally planned to imprison the parasite in the palm first, and wait for Tang Fang to deal with it, but he never thought that the blackening right arm would suddenly change, just like when he devoured the broken arm of a brotherhood member, a crack was directly opened in the palm, and the parasite Swallow it in one gulp.

Then, the black arm began to soften, and the cyan meridians slowly turned red, twisting and rolling like a living snake, and the muscles paced like a heartbeat.

Roy's cheeks were instantly covered with a layer of sweat, and the furrowed brows and twitching corners of his mouth showed that he was in pain now.

Aros stepped forward from behind, grabbed his right hand, and asked worriedly: "What happened?"

"It... ate... it."

Aros didn't know why, and asked, "Who ate who."

Tang Fang woke up when he heard the words, forced himself to shift his attention from the system space to reality, and quickly summoned a nurse mm to make a quick diagnosis of Roy's physical condition.

Unexpectedly, before she could take any action, the redness and swelling on Roy's right arm subsided like a tide, and his breathing gradually returned to normal.

He squeezed out an unnatural smile, and said, "It's all right...it doesn't hurt anymore."

"The phagosome gene is at work again?"

Tang Fang recalled the scene that happened in the "Morning Star" medical laboratory. Roy's right arm once swallowed a severed arm of a member of the Brotherhood, thus gaining the ability to attack remotely. The corrosive liquid could even stop the Akron underground dryad Biological wound self-healing ability.

Roy shook off the sweat on his face and nodded: "Well, it calmed down after eating, and it doesn't hurt anymore."

The nurse mm also sent Tang Fang the news that "Roy's physical indicators are normal except for his right arm" after some diagnosis.

"Has it changed in any way?"

Roy knew that he was asking if there was any change in the ability of his right arm, so he felt it carefully and shook his head: "It seems to have fallen asleep."

After hearing this, Tang Fang frowned slightly, thinking that now is not the time to investigate whether Roy's right arm has evolved again, so he judged the direction, greeted a few people, and walked to the west of the garden where the prison area is located. (to be continued)
