Just as Feng realized that he had failed, and was about to let everyone hide, a Vengeance crawled over from behind them. This Vengeance did not attack them directly, but instead used its biological bomb to attack the human face moth in front of it. As a result, the human face moths that were attracted to the Vengeance immediately rushed over, pulling the troops that were squeezed between the two side of the weirdos into a battle whirlpool.
Now, this swarm of bugs was completely wiped out by the team's various tactics of luring the enemy, splitting up and attacking them forcefully. However, the team had also suffered heavy losses, although four of them had not suffered any casualties, other than Eva, the other three had more than a hundred minor injuries. Eva's Bio-transformation army had also officially become bankrupt. Other than the Gemini, all the other living corpse s had died in battle. As for the Gemini, he only had half of his body left. If he was a normal person, he would have died long ago from such an injury.
Although the Gemini could still move, his fighting strength had dropped by more than half. He was not even comparable to a normal butcher.
Hearing Feng's words, Eva revealed a proud smile, and said: "That's the wave of the invader. "Hmm, not bad. I was right about him."
"Done?" Feng said: "Are you saying that Zero got rid of that guy? "As expected of the captain, he actually killed someone with a higher rank."
After Eva heard this, she smiled but did not speak. In her heart, she thought, if Lingcun were to be killed by that fellow with spikes all over his body, it would be equivalent to saying that he had no eyes. Luckily, Zero killed that guy. Up until now, this "companion" was still considered qualified.
"Then should we wait until it's midnight before proceeding forward?" Ma Pei asked.
Feng raised his foot from the corpse of the entomophile and frowned: "No, let's continue moving forward. Even though he had killed that fellow, it would definitely consume a huge amount of his physical strength, and he might even be injured. If we stop now, we'll be wasting his time. So, let's go. Target is the experimental diary of the five-tier base! "
Seeing Feng walk towards the entrance with an unstoppable momentum, Su was a little surprised. After he left, Feng's reaction was completely different from his usual appearance. Although they did not have the courage to kill, every decision they made was resolute and decisive. They were even more so than zero as they seemed like a team captain.
Just as she was thinking that, Feng who was in front of her suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. Although he bounced up in the next second, Feng could not help but curse at the insect corpse that tripped him, and even kicked it away. Looking at Feng like this, Su thought that it must have been his imagination.
"What a playboy."
Eva, who was at the back, sneered, while Gemini beside her looked at her suspiciously, but Eva did not give her any response. But when she walked toward the entrance of the five-tier base, Eva took out the heavy sword Black Dragon from her back and held it in her hand. It had to be known that even in the most intense battle, Eva had only been struck by Dongbin's fist and had only been forced to give a single kick, she had not even used a single move against the Black Dragon!
The safe passage was very quiet. It was as quiet as a grave, with no signs of life. As he got closer to the five-tier base, on Feng's tactical helmet panel, the composition of the oxygen became lower and lower, while the content of the poisonous substance kept increasing. When the picture of a skull that represented Poison Su appeared, Feng raised his hand to stop the procession.
"Ma Pei, it's filled with poison. You don't have any tactical suit left, why don't you wait for us at the exit? " Feng said gently.
Amongst the four of them, only Feng and Su could use the tactical helmet's filtration function to separate the Poison Su in the air. But not only had Ma Pei lost his tactical helmet, even the tactical suit was severely damaged from the battle earlier, and could no longer be worn anymore. Although his ability to resist poisons was far superior to ordinary people, the Poison Su in the five-tier base had already surpassed the level of the Poison Su, and was more than what he could resist.
Feng's words were completely out of goodwill. When Feng's gaze swept across Eva, who similarly did not have a tactical suit, he said from inside his helmet: "As for you, you can stay there if you wish. After all, this is not your job. "
Eva flung her bright short hair and walked past Feng without a care, and said: "I don't want to stay on the top floor and be an idiot."
Seeing her disappear into the darkness below the stairs, Ma Pei pointed at himself while smiling bitterly, "It seems like I can only go up and be a fool."
Feng patted his shoulder and said, "Buddy, don't compare yourself to a freak."
Before his voice fell, Eva's furious voice came out from the darkness, "Who's the abnormal one!?"
Feng retracted his neck and made a gesture of helplessness.
In the end, Ma Pei still left. What Feng said was right, there was a huge difference in strength between him and Eva. This meant that Eva could carelessly drill into the poison mist, but he couldn't do so. From what Ma Pei knew, the reason why high level special abilities users could ignore the poison mist was because when they breathed in the poison mist, they could use their cell level powers to separate and dilute the poison Su in the air, before turning into something harmless.
But Eva was not afraid of Poison Su, which meant that her strength was at least at the eighth stage or maybe even higher.
A powerhouse of the eighth step or above, there were already very few natural substances that could kill them. Therefore, calling them abnormal wasn't too excessive. In the world of high-level Adepts, the only people who could kill an Adept were those who could!
With a pa sound, he stepped into the ice-cold water, causing Feng's brows to furrow together. Beneath his feet, ice water of extremely low temperature covered his knees. The current was still flowing slowly, which meant that the water level was still rising. Although the speed was very slow, it was not known how long it would take before the five-tier base would be flooded by this icy water that came out of who knows where.
Perhaps it was because of the Human-Faced Moths' migration, Feng carefully gestured towards them and headed towards the exit. five-tier base was immediately reflected in Feng's eyes. Whole Base had already been submerged by the water, and some fragmented objects and even some insect corpses were floating in the water. The insect corpses were pushed against the wall by the water and piled up in the corners. And looking at the distant base, he could still see insect corpses floating over. The atmosphere was very strange.
Feng and the other two looked at each other, not knowing how these people died. If they were drowned to death, Feng would never believe it. The face moths, though they could not swim, would not drown in the water, but now they were dead, and God knows what had killed them.
When one of the insect corpses floated past Feng, Feng saw that there was a strange scar on the abdomen of the human face moth.
Chapter 257 - Lord (II)
Feng casually caught the insect corpse, a half moon shaped hole appearing on the belly of the humanoid moth. He didn't know what had bitten him, but the wound on his body was in a jagged, torn shape. The organs and nerves in his abdomen had lost most of their weight. The body length of the human face moth was about ten meters, while its abdomen was about eighty centimeters. It had bitten off a large area of its abdomen, which was covered by a crescent-shaped wound. Clearly, the killer had a large mouth and sharp teeth.
For some reason, when Feng saw this wound, he thought of the Overlord of the Seas Shark. The wounds on the body of the human face moth looked as if it had been bitten by a shark, but the area of the wounds was even wider than that of ordinary white sharks. Something that could bite off half of a human face moth's body was definitely not smaller than a human face moth.
In that case, Feng really did not know what could possibly bite this unlucky human faced moth to death. In the informatio
n that Callio had provided, there were no monsters that matched the characteristics before his eyes.
Could it be that a special situation had occurred in the five-tier base? Other alien creatures invaded, leading to the complete migration of the Man-Faced Moths? In Feng's mind, one idea after another flashed by like lightning.
The sound of splashing water beside him was actually Eva walking over.
Eva immediately used the heavy sword to pick up one of the human-faced moths and carefully examined it from head to toe. However, the more she looked, the uglier her expression became. In Feng's line of sight, by the time Eva had put down the insect corpse, her brows were already furrowed together.
"Hurry up and leave!" Eva said, then emphasized her voice: "Leave immediately, something's wrong here. "If I'm not wrong, maybe …"
Suddenly, Feng extended his hand out and covered her mouth. Just as Eva was about to get angry, he saw Feng pointing his finger at his lips, signalling him to stay silent. Eva understood, once she quieted down, her ears would immediately hear the barely audible sound of flowing water.
A faint sound of flowing water came from afar, as if something was swimming in the water. The sound was weak at first, but it gradually increased in volume until finally the sound of water splashing was loud and constant.
"Three o'clock!" Su warned loudly, and at the same time raised her alloy greatsword.
After receiving the notification, Feng and Eva looked in the direction that Su had pointed. On the originally calm water surface, there were actually two water curtains. The water curtain was stretched to the left and right as a black shadow charged towards the three of them at high speed!
"Be careful!" Feng bellowed, at the same time, he shot out all of the bullets in his machine gun like they were worthless. A line of bullets hit the water, spraying water everywhere. The column of water continued to extend, meeting the unknown object that was moving at high speed.
The thing unexpectedly did not dodge, and directly rushed towards Feng's line of fire.
Generally speaking, things that did not put the firepower of the old era in their eyes were those that had amazing defensive power, or those that did not even know what firearms were. Obviously, this object belonged to the latter category. This was because when it rushed into the line of fire, a blue colored liquid immediately jumped into the air. Following that, an angry, injured cry sounded out.
A huge splash of water with a diameter of 100 m suddenly burst out from the water surface, and a streamlined black shadow shot out from the water, pouncing towards Feng.
Under the night vision mode inside Feng's helmet, he clearly saw a strange big fish. The large fish was at least a meter long, with a mouth as big as his own that extended to the cheeks on either side. The monster fish's torpedo-like head had three blood-red fish eyes lined up horizontally on either side. Streams of electricity shot out from the eyes of the fish. As the six eyes focused on the space from different angles, the streams of electricity bounced into the space and disappeared.
Feng had never seen this kind of strange fish before, so he had no way of knowing what kind of monster it was. However, he knew that the electric shock from the monster's eyes was an ability to release biological energy. When he tried to sense and analyze this ability, he got a hint of data and space. Clearly, this was a special method that belonged to the monsters. The six strange eyes looked in all six different directions, gathering the spatial data they had observed in their mind and forming a complete space.
There was no dead angle!
A great way to observe. Feng said in his heart, but his hands were not idle. The muzzle of the gun was raised, and the red trajectory of the bullet tore through the air as it chased after the monster fish. But just as they were about to hit the monster fish, two long waves suddenly shot out from the two sides of the monster fish's tail, borrowing the water pressure to increase its speed, it opened its mouth and fiercely bit towards Feng!
A black shadow suddenly shot into the air, and after brushing past the weird fish, it quickly fell into the water ten meters in front of them. Eva landed on the ground in a half-squatting posture. When she landed, the impact caused all the nearby water to flow in all directions, revealing a round object with a diameter of three meters. After a moment, the water returned and filled up the circle again.
As for the black dragon on Eva's heavy sword, the flame around the blade edge of the sword was dissipating, like a dragon putting away its fangs.
A few crisscrossing red rays of light appeared on the body of the strange fish in the air. With a crashing sound, the strange fish suddenly burst into pieces. Bits of flesh, blood and shattered bones all over Feng's body. The bizarre blue colored fish blood flowed along Feng's body through his legs, and finally flowed into the water.
Feng watched helplessly as his entire body was drenched in fish blood, there were even some pieces of fish meat hanging from his body. He grudgingly swept the minced meat on his body into the water, but at this time, Eva came back out of the water and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, before those damn things find us."
"What the hell is this?" Feng asked.
Eva's expression was ice-cold. Extremely unwilling, he replied: "A descendant of the Crypt Lord."
Feng made an exaggerated expression. Of course, no matter how exaggerated or wonderful the expression on his face was, it was difficult to see it clearly. He said, "That kind of thing also has descendants?"
"Why not?" Eva said impatiently: "Strictly speaking, Crypt Lord can also be considered to be marine organisms. They belong to the gynaecological community and can lay eggs without mating. With one million eggs per ovulation, even if the survival rate of the descendant of a gigantic mutated beast was extremely low, but even if there was only a thousandth chance of survival rate, there were at least thousands of those strange fish in the base right now. Damn, now I know why human faced moths fight to move, I'm afraid no living being in this base likes to live in the same room as the descendants of Crypt Lord. Moreover, they are far from being friendly! "
Feng made a gesture, and called Su to come back together. At the same time, he looked at Eva and said: "I didn't know that you were so knowledgeable."
"Before I became a experimental subject, I was a doctor in both biology and biochemistry!" Eva extended two of his fingers and fiercely swiped it in front of Feng's eyes.
Feng was stunned, and stopped in his tracks. Eva proudly straightened his body and walked past Feng. Seeing her red hair that was still dazzling even in the darkness, Feng couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"I wonder if those two balls of stuff are also that good." Feng said in a soft voice filled with unfathomable malice.
Eva who was in front suddenly stopped, turned her head and glared at Feng. Feng trembled, thinking why was this woman's ears so sensitive.
Behind him, a familiar sound of water could be heard. Feng looked back, only to see that a water curtain had been sprayed out a few hundred meters away. The second, the third … More and more water curtains appeared, forming a semicircle around the three of them. It was unknown if it was just an illusion, but Feng actually heard the sound of grinding teeth, which made his skin stand on end. With a look, he and the other two people increased their pace and walked towards the exit of the safe passage.
Only after walking up the stairs did Feng heave a sigh of relief. Below, the water level seemed to rise again. A few dark figures were swimming under the water like sharks!
In the living area of two-tier base, a butcher raised his crude metal hammer and smashed down fiercely. Immediately, a male living corpse's head exploded into a paste. Dark red blood mixed with a grayish-white brain matter oozed out from the hammer. The butcher raised his warhammer, stuck his sharp tongue out from his homemade mask, and lightly licked the surface of the warhammer.
The blood and brain matter on the surface of the hammer were immediately swept clean. The butcher let out a heavy breath, threw the battle hammer away and laid his body on top
of living corpse's. It used its hands to scoop up the remnants of the living corpse's paste that was on the ground. To butchers, living corpse's brain fluid was much more nutritious than other parts of the body. It could provide the energy needed for a butcher's survival. According to the classification of energy levels, living corpse's brain fluid had the highest energy, followed by blood, and then muscle and bone.
living corpse did not like eating their own kind, but under the situation where they were short of food, they would not mind turning their own kind into their own nutrition. Just like the butcher in front of him, he was too hungry. Although the taste of their own kind was rather unpleasant, as long as they could survive, the butcher didn't mind.
However, just as he ate living corpse's brain and flesh, the butcher suddenly smelled a wonderful smell. It was the feeling of being filled with powerful energy. The butcher released the living corpse and stood up.
There was a man and a woman, the man was short and stout, and the woman was tall and slender. From a human's perspective of beauty, the speechless woman had the beauty of a calamity, but to a butcher, she was no different from the short and stout man. In the eyes of the mutated beasts, there was no difference in beauty, only in strength. It was the same for the living corpse and other living beings.
From a certain perspective, mutants were a purer existence than humans.
Now, the butcher saw that these two human bodies contained a tremendous amount of energy. However, it was obvious that these two people were much dimmer than the other women. So the butcher made up his mind, picked up the hammer at his feet, and ran like a tank toward the little man.
To the butcher, the short and stout man was like a feast. Unfortunately, with the butcher's intelligence, he did not know how to judge the difference in strength between the two. At the same time, he didn't know that one had to evade the attacks of a strong martial artist, and not rush forward like a moth to the flame!
