Falling into the Abyss

Chapter 13: Atonement Red Earth (11)

Views:

The non-people started asking questions, they were no longer satisfied with the perfunctory words their "bosses" told them, and they wanted to know what was going on, especially after finding out that Jeff had been quarantined by Ethan. The ten non-human bosses who had talked with Taniseer secretly were so exhausted that they finally had to go with a partner to smoke. Cowardly non-humans gathered around Chen Zeng, talking about the weird dreams they had in the short two or three hours of sleep before.

Ethan sat in a hidden corner behind a sofa holding his knees, quietly listening to the conversations of the Betas. He found that many of these non-humans were complaining about having nightmares and not sleeping well, saying that they saw a place like an extremely huge ancient city in their dreams, and they would fall into the abyss if they accidentally walked in it. Chen Zeng said enigmatically, don't arbitrarily believe what you see in your dreams, because people are most likely to be controlled by the devil when they are weak. Trust in the Lord's care for them.

The female Beta, who was not mentally stable before, was lying on the sofa alone, talking to herself, holding something that seemed to be a pendant tightly in her hand. If you got closer, you could hear her mumbling the same words all the time: she's coming she's coming she's coming...

Ethan felt very tired. He was overwhelmed by prolonged anxiety and nervousness, and almost wished it all happened soon, so that at least he didn't have to worry about it anymore. He wondered why Gina still regarded him as the highest authority. Didn't Derek repair her communication system last night

Or... Derek didn't really fix it? Or is it deliberately not repaired

He couldn't help but glanced at the big young boy who had found a gaming helmet from nowhere and was playing a fighting game in the hall. Recalling that he had tried to merge his brother's consciousness with the robot dog's consciousness, he felt Incredible. Why would such a talented young man do such a terrible thing? What a pity...

But on second thought, maybe this is what the government wants? In this way, they have a total genius, and they can make him do things without paying him wages.

And that priest...

He was always attracted to that priest, but on the other hand, was afraid of him.

It's not that he hasn't seen Eve priests before. After all, the Eve Earth Alliance has a good relationship. Every time an envoy wants to visit certain resource development areas on Earth, they must accompany him. Those priests were tall and beautiful, and they spoke gracefully, just like Tanithal, but there was something unfathomable and evil in Tanithal, inexplicable, just hanging above his perfect appearance. A layer of veil that sometimes made him feel that it was just his own illusion.

It was just by chance that the fervor that suddenly burst out from those ethereal silver-gray eyes never belonged to an ordinary priest.

Samuel had passed the word, and everyone stayed together. As soon as they noticed something abnormal in the sky, they immediately smeared the stinky juice they collected last night on their bodies. Each of them was holding a bottle with that kind of liquid in their hands, and a few words about the huge monster in the sky had leaked out, and people were panicking. At this moment, all the non-human necks received slight electric shocks, and at the same time, the communicator in their ears sounded the voice of the chief guard, "We have landed, and are now coming to Base 18, ready to give us Open the door."

Ethan orders Gina to turn on all the outside-facing cameras at the base. The scene of the red field is reflected on the smooth and white walls of the hall, and even the images of the red herbs are projected on the floor, making them seem to be outside. In the distance of the field, there was another dish-shaped spaceship next to their original small spaceship, and a dozen or so little dots were coming towards them. Since Derek hasn't repaired the communication system, he can't see their appearance, but it is almost certainly the soldiers and the chief guard who is specially responsible for taking care of inhumans.

Ethan was about to order Gina to open the door, but was pressed on the shoulder at this moment. He looked back, but it was Tanisel who came behind him at some point.

"listen."

Ethan had an ominous premonition when he saw that excited flash in his eyes again. He listened attentively, and finally noticed the subtle sound that disturbed in the range of infrasound waves, which was as imperceptible as the constant tinnitus at the bottom of his ears. But the voice was getting stronger a little bit, and it gradually made him feel a little dizzy.

It was as if something was getting closer.

He couldn't tell the source of the sound, it came from all directions, seeping from between every molecule of the air, from the ground beneath their feet. In an instant, a series of unfamiliar images suddenly flashed through his consciousness.

The huge city lost in ancient times, the strange sharp-angled buildings that did not belong to any planetary style, and the blood-red sky where there was a huge dark shadow slowly moving past, the dark green creatures in the city were all scattered and fled. In a vast swamp, countless frog-like creatures stretched out their hands to the sky and greeted something with a high-pitched ecstasy. They chanted repeated syllables: ah-ga-ha-shha-bub-ga-neh-gahha-sa.

The images of these inexplicable invasions chilled Ethan to the bone. The huge stone walls that stretched out to the sky at impossible angles were full of evil symbols. He saw the limbs of those green men bulging and torn, green blood flowing in the streets. , flowing like a river, into the torn mouth in the distant sky...

He let out a low cry and covered his ears with his hands. The other non-humans obviously heard it too. Many non-humans with weak willpower were already slumped to the ground, and the rest covered their ears one after another. Even those as strong as Samuel looked around in horror, their shoulders shrank involuntarily. Only Chen Zeng remained surprisingly calm, even though there was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

As for Tanisel, his perception ability is several times that of human beings. At this moment, he has no expression of fear, but a look of joy on his face. in a dream. Ethan heard him murmur, "Shabnir... the great goddess of procreation..."

Almost at the same time as the images of the invasion were extinguished, the sky in all directions suddenly began to dim rapidly. The red seemed to be absorbed by something, and clusters of black quickly penetrated and spread. On the far horizon, huge black lumps surged behind the silhouette of the mountains, as if about to burst out at any moment.

Samuel Otto Derek and the others shouted out almost at the same time, "It's started! It's started! Get it on!!"

Ethan immediately opened the cap of the bottle in his hand, and the strong smell of carrion suddenly made him unable to open his eyes. He took off his glasses, poured the liquid from the bottle into the palm of his hand, and applied it to his face and body. The oily liquid was sticky and slippery, dripping all over his body, and in an instant, his whole body stinks like a rotten corpse for more than a month.

Others were more straightforward and just picked up a bucket and drenched it on the head, while some who couldn't react remained stunned. I saw Chen Zeng carrying a bucket of black liquid in one hand, and when he saw someone who was stupid, he raised his hand and poured it over. This behavior was very efficient, and at the same time, the entire hall was in a mess.

Ethan looked back and saw that Tanisel hadn't started yet, so he quickly picked up a bucket of black liquor that had not been used up, followed Chen Zeng's example and smeared it on the priest's face. In an instant, the priest seemed to be drenched in ink from head to toe, his body froze, and after a while he slowly raised his hand, wiped his face, revealing a pair of eyes that had returned to their usual appearance, and glared at Ethan angrily, "You …”

Ethan looked at the glamorous priest with dirty water that smelled worse than stool at the moment, and finally felt that he had avenged his previous revenge in the sample analysis room. But reason told him that first of all they were dying now, and secondly the priest seemed to be angry, so it wasn't a good time to laugh anyway. He endured it, and threw the bucket away and muttered, "Who made you look dumb all the time."

At this moment, the entire sky has quickly dimmed. Accompanied by a piercing long cry, the surging black thing burst into the air like magma from a volcanic eruption, rolling and wriggling across the entire sky.

Now they finally know what's in that video.

It wasn't the cloud that covered the sky, it was something solid, like a piece of meat. It has no fixed shape, and some parts are jelly-like jelly-like substances, purring softly, and other parts are very hard and dry, with traces of cracks. Some sarcomas continued to protrude and shrink back, and there were some faint red dark light through the black and gray skin, and the spreading network of black blood vessels spread all the way to the horizon with some kind of vigorous pulsation.

At this time, the mother ship in the far-earth orbit also observed that a black mass was rapidly spreading on the surface of the red earth. The speed had broken the laws of physics, and the battle seemed to wrap the entire planet. The experts in the mother ship grew their mouths and couldn't believe what their eyes saw.

It... seems to have suddenly appeared from the surface of the red earth. At that moment, the magnetic field of the red earth was disturbed, and a strong earthquake occurred locally. Then the thing seemed to be squeezed out of a non-existent point near the surface.

It's not that people naturally can't see this, they just stare at the vast sky above their heads completely covered in a few minutes, Hera's red light is completely blocked, except for the red light between the huge tumors in the sky. , only the headlights built around the base are lighting up. At this moment, as far as the light from the headlights could reach, they saw someone running wildly in the direction of Frontier Base No. 18.

It's those reinforcements!

They were screaming and running fast, not like the speed that humans and Eves could achieve, turning back while running.

Are they running for their lives and something is chasing them

Ethan's eyes widened, and he saw a black strip suddenly leaned over behind the last soldier and hooked his waist. The next moment, the soldier didn't even have time to make a sound, and was pulled into the endless darkness behind him.
