Chapter 1470 Escape
The mutation is spreading rapidly like a plague. What they just saw, whether it is the container, the floor or the ceiling, has become weird and even blasphemous.
The terrifying pieces of flesh, the wriggling fascia, the twitching blood vessels, and the vague stench of death, coupled with the negative energy causing the scanner to continuously alarm, all this made everyone's nerves tense. limit.
When they saw that the door of the engine room was still the same, that moment brought a great sense of security, making them feel that as long as they got in, they would be able to leave the changes behind.
Lieutenant Duy at the front immediately swayed at the door, the automatic door opened, and everyone followed and poured in.
Since this door has not mutated, it is likely that the problem is only in the warehouse, and maybe everything is normal in the engine room.
Everyone entered the door with this hope.
But hope is often most valuable when it is destroyed.
When everyone rushed into the engine room in panic, suddenly, the lights disappeared instantly.
Not only were the lights inside the ship gone, but even the lights on the protective suits seemed to have been cut off, and could only illuminate everyone's own outline.
All of them were as if they had sunk into the pitch-black water, with nothing around them but the most primitive, deep darkness.
"Ahhhhh! Help, help! Save me!"
Someone screamed in the communication channel, but the surroundings were dark, and even the outline illuminated by a flashlight was very blurry , I have no idea who it is and what happened.
The next moment, the lights were like lightning piercing the sky, bringing flickering light.
In the flash of light that seemed to explode, Alyssa saw two soldiers who seemed to be wrapped in something black. Alyssa couldn't even tell whether it was a monster or a simple shadow. !
The ear-piercing screams kept echoing in the communication channel, and the crazy flashing lights overloaded the eyes. What was even more frightening was that everyone seemed to be frozen, and no one made any reaction for a while. .
Alyssa felt that she could hardly close her eyes, her whole body was shaking, and she almost used all her strength to bite her lower lip hard.
The stinging and rusty taste melted away in her mouth, which also allowed her to regain some control over her body. Although even a simple movement like raising her hand seemed to be delayed, at least she could move.
“Don’t be stunned!”
Alyssa’s voice was so loud that for a moment it even drowned out the soldiers’ screams, and the speakers next to everyone made a harsh sound. , the eardrums sting from the shock.
This also brought everyone back to their senses.
At this time, the two soldiers wrapped in darkness had stopped moving, but for some reason, the screams in the communication channel did not disappear.
The darkness attached to them was squirming and twisting, and seemed to be laughing wildly, laughing at the stupidity of mortals.
Duy, who was closest to the soldiers, woke up from his dream. He hurriedly wanted to rush over and grab one of the soldiers' hands.
“It’s hopeless, they are hopeless!”
Cao Wei tried to hold Du Yi, but her body seemed to be rusty and she was half a beat too slow.
Duy grabbed the soldier's hand and pulled it back hard.
However, he only pulled out one hand and about a third of the chest cavity. The edges were bloody and bloody, as if it had been melted by strong acid. The viscous liquid was mixed with blood, and in microgravity It turns into a small sphere floating in the environment.
Duy felt a strong sense of vomiting rising from his stomach. The protective suit detected the precursor to vomiting, and the built-in medicine automatically injected, forcibly suppressing the vomiting feeling.
Because vomiting while wearing protective clothing may cause suffocation. All protective clothing has this function.
At this moment, the darkness suddenly disappeared again, as if it did not exist at all, but the stumps left behind showed that there were once two living people here.
“Let’s go!”
Alyssa sealed the fate of the two soldiers. She had to make a decision, otherwise the team would continue to stay in this dangerous place.
Under the influence of the drug, Duy resisted the desire to vomit, but he obviously seemed much weaker and seemed to be sluggish.
Everyone carefully avoided the remains of the two soldiers, trying not to look at anything that might be hard on their nerves, and quickly continued running.
The thumping in the wall seemed to be getting closer and closer, but the screams of the two soldiers in the communication channel still did not stop.
Even if some people turned off the speakers directly, the sound was still there, and the screams seemed to echo in everyone's heart.
Everyone felt as if a stone had been pressed on their hearts. They were extremely uncomfortable. Many people had already experienced breathing problems. The protective clothing automatically alarmed, prompting the wearer to lower their breathing rate.
“They are catching up!”
Sofia shouted behind Alyssa. Alyssa looked back and saw that the mutation that made the cabin become terrifying was indeed Really caught up. The engine room door that was still normal just now became like a huge heart valve, opening and closing, breathing heavily outward. The solid floor was instantly covered with a layer of cyan blood vessels, and some pipelines looked like, It's like a peristaltic intestine. If you stare at it, you will see human faces twisted in pain from the intestinal wall.
The stumps of the two soldiers also swelled and bulged in an instant, as if they had become inflamed connective tissue, more like a large beating tumor, which made people's scalp numb.
Terror, physical terror is catching up from behind!
"Hurry up! Hurry up! This is not the time to save oxygen!"
The exhaust gas produced by breathing has been used up in the escape just now, and now the jet pack begins to use the oxygen that everyone carries oxygen.
The good news is that they are carrying double the amount of oxygen, which, if all goes well, will be enough for them to keep going at full speed back to the Manta.
But everything goes well, which seems to be a luxury.
When the mutation made the reactor left behind look like a huge beating heart, and the nearby cooling tower looked like the lungs of some kind of creature, slender, cold shadows came from the front. Covered over.
Duy, who was at the front, lowered his head because of physical discomfort and just gave way, but the three or four soldiers next to him were not so lucky.
Almost instantly, their heads were separated from their bodies, as if the shadow was some kind of extremely sharp blade.
The next moment, the blood spurted out from the chest under the pumping of the heart, like a terrifying fountain, and blood droplets even sprayed to the ceiling.
The body that lost control was bumping around everywhere under the influence of the jetpack. The earphones were filled with the screams of the soldiers, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
Alyssa held Shanafia tightly with one hand. Her palms were cold and her teeth were chattering, but she knew she couldn't stop, she absolutely couldn't stop!
"There's one behind them too! Lower your head!"
Sofia's reminder made the remaining people hurriedly hold their heads and look down, as something extremely exaggerated seemed to flash past from above.
Sofia should have escaped this, but I don’t know what happened to the others who were behind her. Alyssa saw Sofia passing her, ran to the front, picked her up and floated in the air. Du Yi and Cao Wei couldn't get up.
"Cheer up, let's...!"
Before Sofia finished speaking, Alyssa saw through the mask that Du Yi and Cao Wei's faces were twisted, their mouths It opened wide and spat out something dark, like clay.
No, that's not a liquid.
It’s alive!
Like tentacles, they were groping left and right inside the mask, as if something was about to break out of their bodies!
If this is some kind of curse or virus or something worse, then the suits are no longer working and it's likely that all of them are already infected.
A strong despair surged into Alyssa's heart, and then she saw that dense shadows were like a big net, covering her from the front.
Every shadow blends together until it looks like a wall.
No one could react. Almost instantly, all survivors were swallowed up by the darkness.
Alyssa was still holding Shanafia's hand tightly, but she clearly felt that the weight on her hand seemed to have become lighter, as if she was not holding a person, but an arm. .
Alyssa didn’t want to consider this possibility, but it seemed that there was nothing else she could do.
Under the light of the protective suit, Alyssa seemed to see her hands melting, but she did not feel any pain.
First the outermost layer of protective clothing, then the clothes and skin underneath. Her body seemed to be peeled away layer by layer, melting and dissipating, until only the white bones were left.
She wanted to find Zannafia, and she did encounter a human-shaped thing. However, it was not Zannafia, but Sofia who had melted half.
In other words, it was more like a half-digested, half-rotted head, with blood, flesh and viscous tissue fluid overflowing, and the eyeballs falling out.
The fear reached its peak at that moment. Alyssa once thought that she was not afraid of death, but it turned out that she had never experienced real terror.
Her consciousness began to blur, and her heart suddenly slowed down after accelerating to the extreme, as if she had fallen into an abyss or a bottomless sea.
Is this death?
Alyssa no longer had the energy to think about this problem until...
"What are you doing? Performance art?"
Li Chengqi was a little confused. The sound, like a sharp sword piercing the darkness, smoothly reached Alyssa's auditory nerve.
