"We want you to take us to the new world."
The voices approaching from all directions can't tell the source, and I can't see where the voice organ is on the queen below. Ethan frowned, cleared his throat, and asked again loudly, "What new world? I don't understand what you mean."
"The new world, your world." At the same time as the voice rippling, a huge worm tail suddenly rose from the ground, and the strong wind and waves that rolled up almost swept Ethan down the cliff. However, the male worm that was climbing on the stone pillar closest to Ethan didn't seem to have any ill will. He just put the giant tail on the edge of the cliff, as if waiting for Ethan to step on it.
Of course Ethan didn't want to touch the disgusting fat-like skin, but the other party didn't want to move his tail away. He had to tentatively stretch out his feet, and the shoes quickly sank into the soft flesh. The giant tail moved again and fell straight down until it was only a dozen meters away from the worm queen in the abyss before it stopped. From this angle, the huge and hot body of the queen below is like a winding mountain, and the stench is getting stronger and stronger. He hurriedly covered his nose with his cuff, his entire face wrinkled.
Suddenly, Ethan saw the body of the Queen of Worms Scarlet Mingming changed. At the thickest part of its body, the thin skin began to stretch toward the sides, as if the mucous membranes were gradually torn from the middle. A cloud of steam spurted out of its body quickly, and the squirming gel-like flesh beneath it separated to both sides, revealing densely packed tens of thousands of bright green spherical objects.
Looking closely, those balls were about the size of a tennis ball, and they looked like frog eggs. The center of the fluorescent green translucent sphere was surrounded by quivering black dots. Soaked in blood-red mucus and fat, they quiver and flow as the giant worm's body rises and falls.
This is their egg... No wonder they say the planet is too crowded, if every egg eventually hatches into a giant worm, then it's normal for the planet to be hollowed out...
Ethan suddenly remembered the declaration they had seen at the entrance to the temple: The beginning of your nightmare. Not really exaggerating.
If it was my old self, in front of such a disgusting and terrifying scene, I would probably faint from fright.
"Go to Earth with our descendants to welcome the coming of God." The childish voice sounded again, and now Ethan saw what organs would be in the translucent body in the distance when the giant worm queen spoke. Shaking in rustling. Think of it as its vocal organ.
Why doesn't it sound from the front mouth like other males and giant worms or worker worms? Or... it doesn't have a mouth at all
Ethan sneered, "Take your eggs to the earth, and let the queen hollow out the earth as well?"
"Your world is already a wasteland. Your race has destroyed your own world."
"Since it is already a world that is about to be destroyed, why do you still go?"
"We are devout believers of God, please don't question our faith."
Ethan raised his eyebrows strangely. When did he question the belief of these disgusting bugs in their "god"
"We are going to prepare, the gate of heaven is about to open..." The strange voice came from the giant insect's body, as if many people were talking at the same time, "We will assist you and prepare everything. Wait... wait..."
"I don't understand what you're talking about. But if I refuse to bring your eggs back to Earth, will you kill us?" Ethan asked.
The Queen of Worms was silent for a while, as if she didn't quite understand what he meant, "Why refuse?"
Ethan almost wondered if these bugs were the so-called higher races... "Isn't the reason very simple, every time you go to a planet, you will hollow out that planet and speed up its death. Although the earth has not much left to save things, but after all, as a human being, I still have some nostalgia complex."
The Queen Worm's body wriggled, and the eggs also poured out a wave of small waves in her body, "Eternity is about to end, the sleeping king is about to wake up... Everything will return to endless chaos, that is the final home."
Ethan realized that the other party was reasoning with him, was he trying to persuade him to believe in their religion
This was really beyond his expectations.
Could it be that it can sense the mutated genes in its own body? Could it be that it knows that it is not actually a real earthman, so it wants to win over itself
But there's still something wrong... These bugs are too polite to him. According to the brutality he had seen before, they had not even touched his finger.
Eternity is about to come to an end, and the sleeping king is about to wake up. This sentence is like a curse, and it can be heard everywhere.
"Sorry, I don't trust that great wise man of yours. I don't want to be the sinner of the entire planet."
"You are already a sinner."
"..." The firm assertion left Ethan speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that the other party would even know his right and wrong...
A faint sigh came from the ear, as if an elder would only sigh when facing an ignorant child, "If you don't help us expand, the four humans will become food."
Ethan didn't understand the lame words at first, but after a little thought, he understood.
If he doesn't agree, Samuel and the others will be eaten by its offspring.
To be honest, he didn't find it strange at all. It made him wonder why it didn't threaten him in the first place.
Ethan looked around calmly, looking at this huge underground worm cave. The males all stretched out their fronts in his direction, making some kind of menacing gestures.
"Aren't you afraid that although you forced me to agree, I will destroy all your eggs after you leave here?" Ethan asked curiously.
"You won't," the voice said softly, "because you don't kill friends."
Ethan's expression suddenly changed, "What do you mean!"
*********
Samuel knew he was briefly unconscious, and the last thing he remembered was seeing the giant worm open its mouth and press down on him and Schneider. However, when he opened his eyes, he found that the insects around them were just surrounding them in the distance, and they did not come forward. And the gigantic terrifying worm was gone.
He wasn't sure for a moment whether he was alive or dead.
His body was very sticky, and when he looked down, he found that his clothes were soaking wet and covered with a thick layer of mucus. When he raised his hand, he would even pull out silk threads, which was very disgusting.
The strange thing is that the mucus doesn't contain any acidity, nor does it feel uncomfortable. He raised his head and found that Schneider, who was beside him, still had his eyes closed, his whole body was sticky, and his broken hair was sticking to his cheeks, which was a little more fragile than usual. Not far from them, both Sergeant and Stan stared at them with frightened faces.
"You're not dead?" Stan asked unexpectedly.
"What happened?" Samuel asked.
The sergeant said weakly, "You were swallowed by that extra-large bug, and then vomited again... We thought you were dead."
Samuel turned and shook Schneider, who groaned and woke up. Shunjian, whose eyes became clearer and clearer, also showed the same confused expression as Samuel.
"We... not dead?" Schneider asked uncertainly.
"It doesn't look like..."
Samuel helped Schneider to stand up carefully. The four of them were still surrounded by countless twisted and twisted worms on a small island in the middle, but they seemed to be unable to see them. intertwined in a tangled mess. But when Samuel tried to get close to them, those front ends suddenly rose, opening their mouths like a demonstration at Samuel, revealing swirling rows of fangs that spread deep into the throat.
The light on the laser gun was so weak that it swayed and flickered like a flame that could be extinguished by the wind at any time. In addition, their heartbeats also jumped up and down with the light.
"Now... what's going on?" Samuel whispered to Schneider. The latter didn't speak, presumably because he didn't have an answer either.
But at this moment, the overwhelming worm suddenly moved at the same time. Samuel thought they were finally going to attack, but he didn't expect the worms to writhe and recede like a tide. They climbed along the stone pillars to the dome, or climbed the high wall and burrowed into the wormhole, and they disappeared completely in a few minutes.
Then, after about ten minutes, just as the four of them were undecided about what would happen, a shout suddenly came from the darkness.
"Samuel!"
Samuel hurriedly picked up the laser gun and shone in the direction of the sound. The weak light dimly illuminated a black figure at the entrance of the giant hole.
Listen to that voice, is it Ethan
Schneider was also nervous, holding a dagger in his hand, "Be careful... We can't be sure if it's Ethan."
Samuel nodded and walked slowly towards the figure with the gun in his hand, "Ethan? Is that you?"
The figure also crawled down from the hole a little awkwardly and walked quickly in their direction. A pale face gradually entered the light, and the mirror reflected the light, making it hard to see.
"Samuel, it's me."
Samuel let out a sigh of relief, lowered the gun a little, and punched Ethan in the shoulder, "Where the hell are you going!!! I thought you'd turned into a worm!"
As he got closer, he could see Ethan's concerned green eyes sizing him up and down, and then looking at Schneider, who was a step behind him, "Are you all right?"
"Except for being eaten and spit out by a disgusting big bug, and then the soldier's arm over there was so rotten that maggots were cut off by us, everything else was fine." Samuel said dryly, grabbing He looked up and down Ethan's shoulder.
Unexpectedly, Ethan's condition turned out to be the best among them, not even a scratch.
Schneider narrowed his eyes slightly suspiciously.
Ethan pursed his lips, did not make any extra comments, just said in a calm voice, "Come on, get out of here first."
Samuel was taken aback, "Leave? Did you find your way?"
Ethan nodded.
Schneider frowned deeper, "You found your way out of that hole? Didn't you encounter a bug?"
"There's a fork in that hole, maybe I'm lucky." Ethan cut short, expressionless, "Are you coming?"
So Schneider carried Stan on his back again, and Samuel supported the sergeant and followed behind Ethan into the giant worm-infested cave. The lights on the laser gun illuminated layers of stripes that spread across the ground, walls, and ceiling. Occasionally, the smooth reflection of the rocks made the entire cave look sinister and dark. Ethan led the way, speaking very little along the way, only occasionally turning his head to make sure Samuel was still behind him.
And Samuel looked at the erratic back in front of him, and felt that Ethan had become a little mysterious.
Where did he go, for six hours? Why didn't he meet the big worm, why did the worms suddenly retreat before Ethan showed up
Is this person who looks like Ethan really Ethan
Could it be just that some monster in the dark put on Ethan's skin to lure them
There are indeed many forks in the cave in the dark, but Ethan walks so skillfully that he seems to have already walked this road. Gradually they felt like they were climbing, and their breathing became heavier. Especially Schneider, his face pale with exhaustion, bearing Stan's weight.
Samuel looked at him and suddenly felt a little distressed, so he asked, "Do you want me to change with you?"
"… not necessary."
It wasn't until they saw the light that the doubts about Ethan completely disappeared. Samuel cheered, and the whole person jumped for joy. They drilled out of a narrow space hidden under the roots of a tree. Outside was a bush that glowed purple in the dark night. Although the cold air was still very dank, it was not as cool as the underground one. The lingering rancid smell is already very open and fresh. Several of them slumped on the ground covered with thick moss, breathing the flowing air greedily.
And the communicator that had no signal at the moment suddenly seemed to have finally woken up and resumed work.
The sergeant quickly reported their approximate location, and a rescue plane would soon come to the nearby hills to meet them. They are about to be saved.
Only Ethan didn't have a smile on his face, his lips were pressed tightly, and his eyes switched between Samuel and Schneider.
The words of the Queen of Worms were still echoing in his mind.
"My eggs are parasitic in your friend's body."
