Chapter 179
"I tried it, it didn't work."
Minister Feng said helplessly, turning his head and looking out the window.
"This alien species moves incredibly fast, and its self-healing ability far exceeds our expectations."
As he spoke, Minister Feng's tone became more solemn.
"If we increase the firepower and continue to block it, the scope of the battle will expand again... There are tens of thousands of people nearby who have not had time to evacuate. I believe you can understand."
"I can't understand." Zhou Rui shook his head, "This matter is beyond our capabilities."
"You have to do it even if you don't want to!"
"The contract doesn't say that we must obey our superiors unconditionally." Zhou Rui stood up slowly and patted the wrinkles on his clothes. "In the end, our relationship is just between the company and its employees. We have the freedom to refuse the leadership's arrangements."
"This freedom has been temporarily deprived." Minister Feng said coldly, "Please obey the instructions issued by your superiors now!"
"You guys really have no contract spirit at all..." Zhou Rui sighed.
Just when Zhou Rui was about to say something more, the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly shook without warning.
Accompanied by a huge sound of water.
Everyone turned back and looked out the window.
I saw that the "human python" covered with abscesses had swam ashore from the river again. Its huge body left a terrifying track on the shore, and the deep ravine was covered with the odor emitted from it. Foul-smelling pus…
This "human python" is like a virus that has invaded the human world. The pus secreted from its body is extremely corrosive, and everything it touches along the way is melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"broken!"
Minister Feng turned around and ran into the command room with a pale face, layers of sweat beading on his forehead.
"Quickly find a way to contact the members on the cross street! The alien is heading to the city!"
Chapter 214 "Heavy Rain" Corroding the City
Human python.
This is the name given to this alien species by [Dawn Foundation].
Or a code name.
As the name suggests, "people" are as the name suggests.
This alien species is like a combination of a human and a python. It is about eighty meters long. Its huge body is like a ridge swimming in the city. Its green skin is covered with abscesses flowing with mucus. .
At this moment, its lightning-fast movement speed was completely inconsistent with its seemingly bulky body. It just swung its tail and moved hundreds of meters forward in an instant...
"Fire!"
Minister Feng in the command room barely kept his cool and almost roared as he began to issue orders to the staff.
"Make it stop no matter what!"
"clear!"
The staff member in charge of communications picked up a slightly bulky walkie-talkie.
This is the latest scientific research product of [Shuguang Foundation].
In this world where the magnetic field changes, it can still be used normally.
However, the signal range is very limited. If you want to transmit information over long distances, you can only use ladder transmission...
"Open fire to block the alien species! We must not let it break into the city!"
"clear."
The person on the other side of the intercom only replied with these two words, followed by a shocking explosion.
Minister Feng stood by the window and looked at the overwhelming firelight. He wished he could skin those candidates. He really didn't expect that each of those candidates would be more selfish than the other...
At this critical moment, they only care about saving their own lives. Don't they have any sense of responsibility? !
"Don't listen to his nonsense, let's retreat immediately!"
In the corridor outside the command room, Zhou Rui and Lin Cheng were walking quickly side by side. They had already made up their minds to leave here as quickly as possible...
Depending on what Minister Feng means, if you step a step too late, you might be pushed forward by the supervising team to fight the human python...
Zhou Rui and Lin Cheng are not without a sense of responsibility.
It's just that at this time, they feel that they should think more about themselves.
"Reputation is always there, but fate is not." Zhou Rui whispered, "Now that we have run away, the worst we can do is have a bad reputation, but at least we can save our own lives, I can still honor my parents, and you can still go back. Take care of your wife and children..."
at this time.
The fire shooting into the sky outside the window immediately attracted their attention.
"The fight started." Lin Cheng said with a frown.
"It can't be stopped." Zhou Rui shook his head, feeling very pessimistic, "Unless they use more powerful thermal weapons, but if they do... who can guarantee that the people in that area will not be harmed?"
"But I think it's almost over." Lin Cheng sighed, "The people named Feng know better than us the reason why Duan is constantly being revolted by its chaos. If we really can't stop it, in order to avoid greater trouble, we can I can only sacrifice some of my people to die with it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Cheng dragged Zhou Rui and continued walking forward.
"Who the hell doesn't want to be a hero if they have the ability? I want to too..." Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and cursed, "But if I die, what will happen to my wife and children?"
"Who says it's not the case..." Zhou Rui looked helpless.
"I have no future in my life. I didn't learn anything useful when I was in school. I just followed my parents and learned how to set up a stall and sell vegetables..."
Lin Cheng and Zhou Rui squeezed out of the crowd and walked quickly to the stairs at the end of the corridor.
"I've been looked down upon a lot in my life. Only my stupid wife doesn't think I'm poor or worthless, and she's willing to accompany me through more than ten years of hard life... Now that I've managed to get through it, I can finally let her live it. I'm living a good life, but just one word from Feng wants me to die!"
The more Lin Cheng talked, the angrier he became. In the end, he was almost gritting his teeth, looking like he wanted to kill someone.
"I'm really not afraid of death! If it weren't for my wife and children..."
"I'm afraid of death."
Zhou Rui whispered, gently pushing the frame on the bridge of his nose.
"I told you before that I should honor my parents, which is nonsense. My parents have not cared about me since I was a child..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but be stunned.
"I'm just selfish and afraid of death, no other reason." Zhou Rui said with a smile.
"You're quite honest..." Lin Cheng said calmly.
"Actually, if we push forward a few years, when I was still studying, maybe a few words from the surname Feng would have persuaded me to go up."
Zhou Rui stood at the top of the stairs and looked back. Seeing that there was no "war supervisor" coming to arrest them, he didn't know what expression to put on for a moment.
but.
never mind.
"A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist..."
Zhou Rui withdrew his gaze and ran downstairs with Lin Cheng.
"Although I hate the way I look now, at least I can survive this way. The guy named Feng told me about dedication and responsibility... forget it."
As he said that, Zhou Rui suddenly showed an indifferent sneer.
"I don't want to risk my life..."
"I feel like your idea is a bit extreme, but it's actually not true..."
"Then you go be a hero and save the world." Zhou Rui glanced at Lin Cheng with a sneer, and there was a feeling between the lines that "we are all the same kind, what are you pretending to do?" "If you have the guts, go ahead, I will never stop you ”
"If I had that ability, I would have gone a long time ago!"
…
When the armed members of the Dawn Foundation began to attack the human pythons on the street, passers-by who were unwilling to abandon their vehicles and wanted to escape the city on their own, all ran out of their private cars at this moment.
They hurriedly followed the large army and evacuated outside the city.
Soaring flames and burning debris.
The deafening explosion and the terrifying roar of the alien python.
All of this renders this city, once known as the "Magic City", as terrifying as the end of the world... Oh, I almost forgot.
This is the end.
Amidst the shrill and angry roar of the human python, everyone saw it violently swing its tail as thick as a ridge to split the fire, and then hit the commercial building in front of it hard.
in front of it.
Reinforced concrete buildings are as fragile as crackers.
The seemingly cumbersome snake tail broke through the building almost instantly.
Collapse, collapse.
It only takes a few seconds.
This thirty-storey building turned into a ruin emitting billowing smoke and dust...
"The thermal weapons we can use now can't hurt it at all! Please request fire support from Minister Feng!"
"Evacuate the crowd first!"
"Third brother! You aim at its head and put an armor-piercing bullet into it!"
"I've tried it before! It didn't work! Its self-healing speed is too fast! The damage we can cause is simply not enough..."
this moment.
Even the armed members of [Dawn Foundation] were panicked.
Even though these members were all experienced warriors, when they realized that this monster could no longer be eliminated by conventional means... they could not help but feel uncontrollable fear in their hearts.
What on earth should I do now? !
Ignore those who did not have time to be evacuated and conduct a secondary attack with fire coverage? !
Or should we think of other ways to hold back this damn human python? Even if it is filled with human life...
at this time.
The human python has raised its body high like a cobra.
The half-human body on top of the snake's head was twisting and turning, as if it wanted to pull itself out of the python's flesh and blood.
In fact, from a certain perspective, the structure of the human python is very similar to that of the centaur, which is some kind of weird combination of humans and animals...
On the head of the huge snake is a "human" with only half of its body left.
Its body shape is no different from that of a normal human being.
The surface of the skin is covered with uneven, ruptured pustules.
The pupils in those green and indifferent eyes were straight and there was no trace of any emotion.
"laugh……"
Hearing the sudden laughter, everyone discovered that the man-python's stiff face actually showed a strange smile.
Before anyone could figure out what was going on, the human python suddenly swung around.
Like a dog that just came out of the water, it started to shake its hair at a very high frequency.
But what it shakes off from the body is not water droplets, but corrosive pus that hits like a torrential rain...
Chapter 215 The black light tearing apart the sky
Amidst countless shrill screams, the droplets of pus from the "human python" were like an overwhelming rain of dense arrows, silently covering the entire city with a radius of one kilometer.
Cement, gravel, metal, plastic, glass.
Even the most fragile human body.
