incubation
The most horrifying thing is that those "things" have human-like outlines, but their limbs are abnormally thin and their skin is a sickly gray-blue.
Under the illumination of dozens of headlights, the "fluorescent man" had no facial features, only three black holes, which were constantly oozing black mucus.
"What the hell is that?" Tan Meng squinted his eyes and looked at the giant egg, wondering with some irritation, "Did that old fellow Shen Wanren turn into an egg?"
Liu Xia said calmly, "They are using their bodies to feed the thing in the egg..."
The shape of this dome is exactly the same as the one she saw in the "Gourmet Restaurant" in the fifth district, but it is bigger and more spectacular.
"What the hell is this..." Zhao Dan swallowed hard, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "What kind of devil is Shen Wanren?"
As if to confirm her words, all the "fluorescent people" raised their heads at the same time and looked at the intruders.
They had no eyes, but everyone felt a cold gaze. The next second, these monsters all let out high-frequency screams, and the sound waves caused the mucus and gravel on the rock wall to fall off!
"Hit that egg!" Liu Xia pulled the trigger, the bullet whizzed out, and he shouted loudly, "Don't let it hatch successfully!"
As early as in the staff cafeteria, Tan Meng noticed this unusually calm woman, and she had just reminded everyone of the impending danger several times, so he naturally trusted her very much at this time.
Tan Meng quickly ordered: "Everyone open fire, attack the dome!"
A large amount of blue-black mucus splashed out from the regularly expanding giant egg where it was hit, but the wound healed almost instantly.
What was terrifying was that those "fluorescent people" seemed to be aware of the danger. Whether they were controlled or spontaneously, they suddenly tore off their vascular tentacles, allowing the blood-like black mucus to flow out of their bodies through the cracks, and pounced on the invaders at incredible speed.
They crawl on all fours like lizards, swaying their bodies back and forth, with their open mouths revealing densely packed needle-like teeth. If your arm or thigh is unfortunately bitten by these teeth, you may lose your entire arm.
The surging "fluorescent men" were not afraid of the harm from firearms at all. They rushed towards the miners near the dome facing the bullets.
The fluorescent monster in the front swung its claws, and the bulletproof vests of the two miners were torn apart like pieces of paper. The intestines in their chests flowed all over the ground, scaring the other miners back.
"Don't panic, maintain formation!" Tan Meng yelled, "Groups A, B, and C take turns firing!"
Tan Meng's roar echoed in the tunnel, but the miners' defense line had begun to collapse.
Those fluorescent monsters had no idea what pain was. Bullets pierced their bodies, making holes as big as bowls, but black mucus would instantly fill the wounds, allowing them to continue crawling and charging in a strange posture.
Even though Tan Meng organized the miners to shoot in batches in an orderly manner, he still couldn't stop the fearless fluorescent monster.
"Ordinary bullets are useless!" Liu Xia shot and blew up the head of the monster closest to her, but the headless body still pounced on her instinctively. She kicked it sideways into the pool of mucus. The monster struggled twice in the pool and began to absorb the mucus to reconstruct its body.
Liu Xia frowned and observed, and found the fluorescent man's flaw. It seemed that it was deliberately avoiding the flames produced by the thermite grenade just now.
Taking out the pistol Song Xuan had given him, Liu Xia tried to use an incendiary explosive bomb and hit the head of the fluorescent man who had just reassembled his body with a "bang". The double damage of fire and explosion finally took effect. The fluorescent man with a shattered head turned into a headless corpse, and even the fluorescence on his body became dim and disappeared.
Liu Xia quickly conveyed his new discovery: "Use incendiary bullets and flamethrowers, they are afraid of fire!"
The miners equipped with flamethrowers quickly gathered and used fire to build a solid wall of fire.
The wall of fire worked as expected, and bullets became useful again. Led by the wounded Zhao Dan, the miners followed the wall of fire and advanced towards the dome.
The dome was attacked intensively again. Bullets flew everywhere with the help of flames, and the fluorescent monsters began to retreat.
The ground suddenly began to shake violently, and the film on the surface of the dome began to shrink violently. Some huge shadow was struggling inside the dome.
Those monsters seemed to have received some kind of instructions and began to retreat collectively, crawling around the top of the rock wall!
A fluorescent man suddenly fell from the sky, hanging upside down. His needle-like tongue pierced into the eyeball of the miner equipped with a flamethrower, instantly breaking the density of the wall of fire. As a sucking sound was heard, the man's body quickly shrank like a leaking balloon.
This time, the fluorescent man and the slime no longer rushed straight forward, but surged up from all directions.
"Retreat! Back out of the gate!" Tan Meng shot off the fluorescent monster's tongue, and without caring about the miner whose arm was bitten through, he took the lead in retreating outside.
Liu Xia emptied the magazine in his hand and watched helplessly as a monster that was burned to charcoal by thermite actually wrapped the carbonized part with mucus and crawled out again as if shedding its skin.
Song Xuan stuck to Liu Xia's side and protected him in the shooting protection layer. He rotated his guns and fired quickly again. With continuous shooting without blind spots, he quickly cleared a space around the two people.
But the bullets were limited after all. He grabbed Liu Xia's arm and said hurriedly: "Let's retreat quickly. We can't use up all these things!"
"Carrara...crack, crack..." A series of barely audible cracking sounds were heard at the same time.
The fluorescent monsters that were originally chasing the miners all turned into a pool of slime and merged into the black substance on the ground.
Liu Xia's heart suddenly started beating rapidly, and a shuddering feeling, not sure whether it was excitement or fear, surged into her heart. She couldn't stop trembling slightly, and looked towards the dome in shock.
Cracks actually began to appear on the surface of the giant black egg, and the surrounding mucus began to flow back, as if it was being rapidly absorbed back into the body.
“Shen Wanren is about to come out!”
Before he could finish his words, the frightened miners had just slowed down their pace of escape when suddenly there was a deafening roar above their heads. As everyone watched in despair, the dome of the tunnel was pierced by a giant tentacle with a diameter of more than five meters, directly blocking the entire exit!
The black giant egg also shattered at this time, and black mucus flowed out along the broken cracks. A huge figure like a newborn baby fell to the ground along with the liquid. Like a newborn calf, it struggled on the ground for a few times and then slowly stood up.
It was a monster that only retained the general outline of Shen Wanren's appearance. His lower body had been completely replaced by eight purple-black tentacles. The root of each tentacle was directly inserted into his abdominal cavity, completely fused together. As it squirmed with the rhythm of its breathing, an unknown substance could be clearly seen flowing under the skin.
The huge tentacle blocking the exit was connected to the black slime at the top, and the source was Shen Wanren.
There is a layer of smooth and elastic purple-black skin on its body, and dozens of compound eyes are embedded between the muscle fibers, each of which rotates irregularly.
"Liu Xia...long time no see..."
Shen Wanren’s voice sounded like thousands of people speaking at the same time, with a creepy echo: “I heard you were looking for me?”
