Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 377: Making the final decision (4,000 words long chapter)

But what happened next was completely beyond Ke Lan's expectation——

After the meat tube came into contact with the back of his hand, it turned completely black, and even the thick tentacles behind it were covered with a strange light gray color. The fascia on the surface of the tentacle suddenly began to decompose, and a large amount of gray-white pus seeped out from the body... In less than five seconds, the muscle tissue that made up the main body of the tentacle quickly disintegrated and turned into a lump that looked like it was full. The cotton-like substance mixed with lime water floated in mid-air.

Not only Ke Lan was dumbfounded, but even the servant of the god and its followers on the ground were completely stunned.

What...what is going on? Ke Lan asked in shock. He subconsciously looked at the huge eyeballs embedded in the wall of flesh and blood - he found that these eyeballs were staring at him at the moment...looking at him. In his sight, Ke Lan felt an emotion very clearly.

fear.

Although even he found it unbelievable... the eyes expressed by these eyeballs did indeed contain expressions of fear and fear.

This wall of flesh and blood...the great god in the words of the servant of God...is it afraid of itself?

Could it be that the collapse of the tentacle just now was caused by himself?

Ke Lan was noncommittal about this, but other than that, he could not find a more reasonable explanation.

Judging from the reaction when the tentacles appear...it seems that my body is a deadly poison to this great god?

The rate of necrosis and withering of the tentacles is no less than that of contact with the cells of flesh-eating worms or the corrosive seeds of stalagmites in seafloor caves. In just a few breaths, the tentacles that were dozens of meters long were completely destroyed. Completely evaporated.

Even the flocculent carrion eventually turned into fine white fragments, floating in the air. It looked like dust and wall ash debris raised from long-uninhabited ruins, and also like the earth. The dirty snow that can only be seen in those special polluted areas.

Why on earth is this... Ke Lan lowered his head and glanced at the back of his hand. There was an undetectable needle hole. He gently squeezed the skin on the back of his hand, trying to squeeze out a drop of blood. , but the needle eye has already healed, and in a few days, this trace, which is extremely difficult to detect with the naked eye, will disappear without a trace.

Is it because of that holy object?

After thinking about it, Ke Lan could only attribute it all to that thing that he had never seen with his own eyes but had already integrated into his body.

If Alpha's ability to speak and those memory fragments came from the broken stone tablet, then the various changes in his body came from the contamination he suffered at the top of Arasaka Tower.

The black liquid from the Iron Maiden, and the mysterious crystal that Manstein refused to hand over until his death...

The Wall of Flesh is not afraid of itself, it should be afraid of these things!

It was only then that the servant of God below realized what had happened. It let out a sharp, inhuman roar, stomped the ground with both feet, and flew towards Ke Lan.

Its right hand stretched forward, and hundreds of fleshy tentacles directly split the Bronze Hammer Type VI hand and arm armor, and spread out in a wild dance - these tentacles were the same as Ke Lan's before. What I saw in the hallucination was exactly the same, except that at this moment they did not form a spindle-shaped cocoon, but weaved into a giant net, covering Ke Lan who was stranded in mid-air.

I really don't want to have a conflict with these people... Ke Lan reluctantly pulled out the pocket pistol from his hidden pocket and pulled the trigger at the servant of the god who floated over.

The gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the shoulder armor of the Bronze Hammer Type VI and bounced away. Apart from scratching off a little rust, the shot failed to cause any damage to the opponent.

But Ke Lan's original intention was not to use bullets to kill the opponent. With the help of the recoil generated when shooting, he quickly fell to the ground, while the servant of God was pushed over in mid-air by the kinetic energy attached to the bullet. Somersaulted and slid out in the other direction.

If it were on the ground, this shot would not be able to shake the heavily armored target at all, but it is different in a floating state that is not affected by gravity. Any force from the outside will change the inertial movement trajectory of the object. .

What the hell... The moment he touched the ground, Ke Lan floated up again, and at the same time fired another shot, pushing himself in the direction he came from.

Based on Ke Lan's original intention, he does not want to be enemies with these people. Although these people's code of conduct is barbaric and cruel, in a sense, they can also be regarded as enemies of enemies. Even if they cannot become friends, Ke Lan does not want them to be friends. I stand completely on the opposite side of these people.

Although they have bloody customs of living sacrifices, and although they kill the sick and weak... they also allow many people to survive in this space station with harsh conditions... If it were not for the emergence of this Sick Village Sect, I am afraid that The residents of South 16th District would not even be one-tenth of what they are now.

Moreover, I don’t know why, Ke Lan doesn’t have much ill feelings toward the “great god” that the “Sick Village Sect” believes in—this wall of flesh and blood… Is this because this strange-shaped creature not only did not actively Why does it harm human beings and actually help human beings survive?

The fact that these abandoned miners can live on the space station and breed second generation people is absolutely inseparable from this wall of flesh and blood.

This wall of flesh and blood even anesthetizes the baptized before the baptism ceremony...

Even at this time, the servant of God was already rushing toward him like crazy, but the wall of flesh and blood still did not make any aggressive move against him.

Ke Lan couldn't understand. Even if this thing was afraid of him, even if he was a deadly poison to it, it wouldn't do nothing, right? Even if a rabbit is anxious, it will bite someone... This guy can't be more cowardly than a rabbit, right?

Although he has a terrifying appearance, his personality is gentler than that of a herbivore. What does this mean? Is the contrast cute?

Maybe some guys with weird XP systems will have some special interest in this wall of flesh and blood, but Ke Lan's XP is obviously still within the range of normal humans, and he decided that it would be better to stay away from this place first - the wall of flesh and blood The wall is silent now, but who can guarantee that this thing will never move?

But as long as Ke Lan can float out, the followers of the Servant of God have already caught up with him - the fleshy membrane covering the ground has a certain degree of viscosity, and the grip provided to the feet is enough to allow them to move even slightly. Flying on the ground under gravity without floating into the air.

The followers of the Servant of God stood in a row in front. They seemed to have received the order to kill Ke Lan and took out short spears from under their cloaks. These short spears are actually made of cut-off steel pipes. Although the pipe walls are covered with rust, the front ends are polished very sharp and reflect a dangerous light.

Grass! Seeing these followers assuming a throwing posture, Ke Lan had no choice but to fire again, abruptly changed direction in the air, and flew towards the wall of flesh and blood again.

With the power of these second-generation people, the short spear thrown can pierce Ke Lan's small body... He just has extraordinary healing ability, not the immortal body in myths and legends. If a short spear stabs a vital organ, the result will definitely be sudden death on the spot.

Accompanied by the sound of whoosh breaking through the air, those short spears shot towards Ke Lan. Due to gravity, the flight trajectory of these short spears was almost straight, and their speed hardly decreased during the flight.

But for Ke Lan, this was not bad news—compared to the parabolic projection trajectory, straight lines were easier to predict. After using Shi Stop to clearly see the trajectory of each short spear, he started again. He fired a shot and made his body slip through the gaps between these short spears.

The short spear closest to him flew past the tip of his hair. As long as it was lowered two centimeters, it could directly pry up Ke Lan's Tianling Cap.

There's only one bullet left in the gun chamber... Ke Lan looked at the surrounding environment. The servant of God crashed into the top wall on the west side of the wall of flesh and blood. At this time, it had not yet landed, while the followers were still on the ground. He was in hot pursuit... If Ke Lan planned to continue escaping in the direction of the passage from which he came, not to mention whether there was a second short spear under the cloaks of these followers, just relying on the last bullet brought Accelerating would not allow Ke Lan to pass through their encirclement and rush into a safe area.

Although gravity is negligible, air resistance still exists.

What's more, there are several column-type petri dishes in the middle that run through the entire space. Ke Lan, who has used up all his bullets, has no ability to change direction twice in the air. If the angle is not chosen well at the beginning, he is very likely to It may hit these pillars firmly.

Then there is only one way to get rid of the pursuers - cross the wall of flesh and blood and climb to Area F on the other side!

When he just carried out the baptism, Ke Lan had already discovered that this wall of flesh and blood was not closed, and there were several narrow cracks at the top. Of course, this narrowness is relative to the entire wall of flesh and blood. In fact, the width of this gap is at least one meter, which is completely enough for a person to slip through sideways.

After making this decision, Ke Lan fired the last bullet without hesitation. Driven by the recoil, he accelerated towards the gap between the end and the center.

The moment he approached the crack, he could already feel the breeze blowing from the other end of the crack. This airflow just showed that the gap was open and not a dead end.

This breeze slowed Ke Lan's speed slightly, but it failed to push Ke Lan out. He finally reached the top wall of the space station and got into the crack with his hands and feet.

Ke Lan looked forward and saw a dim light coming from the distance. Judging from the light source, the depth of this crack was about twenty-five to thirty-five meters. This depth was equivalent to the Wall of Flesh. Thickness - compared to its area, this thickness is not exaggerated, but I don't know what it will look like behind the wall.

Ke Lan bowed forward in the gap. Above his head and under his feet were dark red walls of flesh and blood. Although the scene here gave people a terrifying and depressing feeling, until Ke Lan got out of the gap, he did not encounter any danger.

The Wall of Flesh seemed to completely ignore him.

Behind the wall of flesh and blood is a purer dark red world.

Ke Lan turned around and could clearly see that on the back of the wall of flesh and blood, many tissues like enlarged versions of human organs were attached to it, including a large, translucent stomach pouch.

Inside the wriggling stomach pouch, masses of bloody and fleshy things were rolling continuously. A white bone stubble poked out from the mass of flesh. As soon as it came into contact with the transparent mucus secreted from the inner wall of the stomach pouch, it seemed like The ice cubes that were showered with boiling water melted away quickly. In the process, a large number of bubbles emerged from the bone stubble and mixed into the mixture of blood, water and mucus.

Strong acid...stomach acid...

Ke Lan looked at the stomach pouch. Among the clumps of flesh and blood that could no longer be distinguished, he saw a familiar piece of fabric. Although the piece of fabric had been corroded by strong acid and was dilapidated, he still recognized it. The fragment came from the clothes the young woman was wearing.

So what is being digested in this stomach pouch? The answer is obvious.

Not only the digestive system, but other organs attached behind the wall of flesh and blood are also very similar to human beings... In Ke Lan's view, this wall of flesh and blood is like a human body enlarged hundreds of times. The body was cut open, and without damaging the entire circulatory system, the interconnected organs were taken out one by one and laid out flat on a table covered with flesh and blood.

In addition to the stomach, he also saw the heart, pancreas, liver... countless blood vessels as thick as the sewage pipes on the Ark connected these organs. Blood flowed in the blood vessels, rushing to the heart, and then contracted by the heart. Pump them to various organs.

This is clearly a perfect blood circulation system. Anyone who knows something about biological structure will not be able to help but exclaim in amazement when they see this scene.

This wall of flesh and blood...could it really be made of humans? Ke Lan muttered and turned around.

In the empty space behind the wall, there were nearly a hundred large cocoons wrapped in fleshy tentacles... These large cocoons were exactly the same as the illusion he had seen on the servant of God.

It turns out that the illusion does not mean that the servant of God will become like that, but that it hatches from these 'cocoons'... Ke Lan said to himself thoughtfully, It seems that I am The order of things is wrong.

[P.S. The hot compress on the tendon sheath of my left hand was slightly relieved after a few times, and then my right hand also started to have some attacks... There is really no way to deal with occupational diseases. Half of today's update is done by one-finger Zen coding.

I tried voice input, but there were too many errors, and many rare words could not be recognized. It would be a waste of time to modify it. 】
