Her mind went blank in an instant, and she felt like a feather, floating up and down in the liquid, feeling light and comfortable. The pain and fatigue in her body seemed to be soothed by a pair of invisible hands.
Before losing consciousness, Tu Ran vaguely heard a conversation.
"Are these pioneers?" A very curious tone.
"Yeah, just got back from the Threshold."
Threshold? Tu Ran tried hard to mobilize his brain cells to think.
She is a pioneer, and that threshold must be the previous world full of monsters.
"I heard that many people died this time, and a He Luo monster also sneaked in."
"It's not surprising. Every time the pioneer team comes back, there will be a bunch of alien species mixed in. This time is still relatively small. In the past, there was no stage to distinguish the real from the fake, and these alien species could even sneak into various states."
"Is this true? I used to live in Chizhou and never heard of any alien species appearing anywhere."
"You were just an ordinary citizen before, it's strange that you could hear it. These things will only cause panic among the people. The Federation is keeping it a secret, and as soon as the alien species shows up, they will be dealt with by the patrolling pioneer team."
"The pioneer team is also responsible for patrolling?"
Tu Ran felt that this person was just like her, knowing nothing but curious about everything.
"They care! As long as it's related to aliens, they care."
The other party's tone was obviously a little impatient.
"I'll leave this place to you. Don't be careless. If anything goes wrong, press the alarm. There are guards from the enforcement department patrolling outside."
"knew."
As the footsteps gradually faded away, the world became quiet and Tu Ran's consciousness had fallen completely asleep.
She had a dream.
She returned to her rental apartment and opened her eyes. She saw the snow-white ceiling and the soft morning sun shining on her face. Under her was a soft mattress and she could hear the clear chirping of birds.
Back.
She is back. Tu Ranle wakes up.
The moment I opened my eyes, I looked into a pair of fist-sized eyes through the red nutrient solution.
What the hell! Protruding eyeballs, black pupils as big as needles, ugly and fat catfish mouth, and beards as thick as fingers and as long as an arm.
What kind of monster is this?! A fish?! Such a big fish?!
Tu Ran widened her eyes in horror and looked around.
She never imagined that she would see such a scene when she woke up.
Where's the person on duty? Where's the person who could sound the alarm? Didn't he see such a huge monster?!
Tu Ran thought at the top of his lungs.
It would have been better if she didn't look up. When she raised her head, a fat tentacle came into her sight. The maggot-like tentacle was stirring the nutrient solution above her. Looking back, she saw two, three, four... countless tentacles tightly wrapped around the nutrient capsule.
The entire nutrition cabin almost became its meal.
Isn’t this the octopus monster...oh no...the He Luo monster!
In addition to the He Luo monster that was killed by Xie Xu at the beginning, there were other He Luo monsters mixed in! The tentacles in the nutrient solution were still approaching her. Because they were close, Tu Ran could clearly see the layer of spikes on the top of the tentacles.
The image of the man with a broken leg suddenly appeared in my mind.
The He Luo monster can possess a human.
If I were to be touched by it, I might end up like that person, with my internal organs ripped out and my body occupied by it.
Tu Ran got goose bumps all over her body.
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
The nutrition cabin is two meters deep and is completely wrapped by the He Luo monster. Going out from the opening at the top is like sending meat to a tiger's mouth.
We have to find another way.
