Time passed minute by minute, only a few beams of flashlights were left in the dark corridor, pouring on the blood-stained ground, only the faint sound of water could be heard in the silence, and I don’t know what creature was stirring in the darkness. Sewage of dead bodies.
Ethan felt extremely tired, and the tentacles behind him seemed to weigh heavily on him. He felt as if he hadn't slept for three days and three nights, his eyelids seemed to be made of lead and kept closing down. He told himself that he couldn't sleep, biting his tongue hard, the pain finally made his consciousness clearer.
He began to groan in extreme pain, like a low-pitched groan that only occurs when the pain is as severe as appendicitis. At the same time, the tentacles that spread from his neck, shoulders and neck all the way to the entire back began to slowly "crawl" back under his pale skin. The scene was weird and unreasonable, and no one could explain how so many huge, thorny tentacles squeezed bit by bit into a body that was too thin even for a male Beta. The black lines on his face began to recede, and the pupils returned to their original shape little by little.
His sanity returned to his surface consciousness, and the wanton killing just now seemed as far away as a nightmare. But on the other hand, he clearly remembered everything that happened. He remembered how he controlled those disgusting and powerful black tentacles to devour the flesh and blood of those inhumans and guards. He remembered how he looked at the man named John The inhuman begged at his feet, and then crushed his head, remembering how he poured something strange down the blond Alpha's throat.
He killed people, and consciously, killed hundreds of people with the most brutal and terrifying means. He absorbed them with his tentacles, drank their blood, and smiled at their wailing.
Ethan was a little scared, not anything in the outside world, but himself. He was afraid of why he was so calm at this time, why he didn't feel much regret, why he was even a little relieved, as if he had thrown off a burden.
Theo'Neill is right, this mutation happened not only in his body, but also in his mind...
What kind of terrible thing could he... become
Ethan suddenly felt a little cold in his body. The back of his clothes had been completely torn, and at this moment, it had little effect on keeping out the cold. He hugged his body, stood up slowly, and walked towards Samuel, who was still holding Schneider's body and sitting under the hanging ring made of two hemp ropes.
Ethan looked at Schneider's unclosed eyes. Those eyes that were always clear and firm were now covered with a dead gray, and his lips were slightly open, as if he wanted to say something. He felt a little illusory, like he couldn't understand what he saw in his mind through a thick layer of cotton.
Why didn't he save Schneider? He had already mutated, and he had killed so many people, why was he still unable to save him? Why didn't you notice that Alpha, why were you paying attention to that blond guard? If he was a little more careful...
Ethan bowed his head, the inexplicable guilt made his throat bitter, and he didn't know how to face Samuel's gaze.
But he knew they didn't have much time.
Samuel's expression was hollow, his eyes were dry, as if he had lost his soul, and turned into a statue. He had been in this position for a long time, not responding to Ethan's approach.
Ethan placed his hand cautiously on Samuel's shoulder. "We... can't stay here for long..."
Samuel shrank back suddenly, as if he was hit by something sharp. He still hugged Schneider tightly, as if he hadn't heard Ethan's words.
Ethan's heart was churning with sourness and regret, as if a stone was choked in his throat. He whispered, "Someone will come down and get us soon. We have to get out of here."
"I don't want to leave him." Samuel's voice was hoarse, exhausted and hollow.
Ethan looked anxiously at Schneider's motionless body. The Queen of Worms said that the parasitic worm eggs in the body hatch only after a person dies. If there are really giant worm eggs in Schneider's body, then it is possible to drill out of Schneider's body at any time.
He didn't want Samuel to be stimulated any more.
So Ethan stood up, picked up a laser gun from the ground, took it and walked behind Samuel, who was still in a lost state, and learned the way the guards used to beat people he had observed before, and forcefully aimed at Omega knocked on the back of the neck. Samuel was probably at his limit because of too much chaos and excitement. Ethan managed to knock people unconscious, even though he was incapable of doing it. He supported Samuel's fallen body and dragged the man aside with all his might.
He was sweating profusely, panting, feeling like he was going to pass out at any moment. But reason supported his body and told him that if he fell down now, it would be completely over.
He didn't know that his desire to survive was so strong, that he had become a monster, but he still didn't want to die.
Ethan knelt beside Schneider's body, pursed his lips, and reached out to untie Schneider's clothes. The strong body of the former chief of guard was covered with bruises and scars from kicks, and at this moment, the color became darker due to the lack of blood circulation. Ethan lost all his energy, tossing and turning to carefully check the body that was stripped by him, but could not see where the worm would come out. Ethan hated himself a little, everyone was already dead, but he still wanted to blaspheme Schneider's body. The guilt was overwhelming, forcing him to put the unfolded clothes back on Schneider again. It's just that the corpse has already begun to stiffen at this time, which takes a lot of his strength. When the last button was finally fastened, Ethan collapsed and sat beside him.
"I'm sorry..." Ethan said to Schneider in a low voice, his nose was a little sour, so he had to rub it hard with his hands, "I... didn't save you... "
He and Samuel... Seems like they've only been together for a while, don't they? He liked Samuel for so long, and he could die in the arms of his beloved at the last moment, but was there any unfinished grudge
Ethan finds he doesn't know anything about Schneider—their commander-in-chief. At this moment, watching the once handsome and determined face become a little strange and unfamiliar because of the loss of muscle support, Ethan felt his heart smoldering.
Samuel... Can you survive such a loss
He tried to put himself in his shoes, what would happen to himself if Tanisel was lying here
At this moment, Schneider's body suddenly began to tremble. It's like shivering in the extreme cold. Ethan was startled and almost literally jumped off the ground.
Fraudulent
Then, Schneider's mouth suddenly opened, so wide that he seemed to tear the corners of his mouth apart. This scene is eerie and creepy. Schneider's eyes are open blankly, and his mouth is wide open like a black hole, as if his lower jaw has been removed. The next moment Ethan almost thinks he will make a hiss that is not human. Hao.
Not so.
From his mouth, something long and roughly as thick as a human forearm crawled out.
Ethan stared blankly, the flesh-pink worm wriggling around its soft and sticky body, showing little by little in the dim light. Its front end came out high and swirled around, as if searching for something. At that time, the front-end holes that were enlarged and contracted were also explored one by one. Its body has a circle of wrinkles, and the dense blood vessels under the tender skin are faintly visible...
Not only did Ethan not feel terrified, on the contrary, he straightened his body in surprise and leaned forward. The front end of the juvenile giant worm immediately aimed at him, motionless, as if watching him. Although Ethan doesn't think it has such organs as eyes.
A strange softness rose in Ethan's heart, and he slowly stretched out a finger to the front end of the little worm. Suddenly, the little worm opened its mouth wide, grabbed his fingers, and sucked hard like sucking milk. It had no teeth yet, and it was soft and wet to the touch, like being really sucked by a human child. It sucked like this for a while, then spat out Ethan's fingers, and then rubbed the back of Ethan's hand with its soft body, even coiling around his wrist and forearm, coiling up little by little. Ethan didn't stop it, just watched it finally fully drilled out of Schneider's mouth, and a long transparent and crystal line was drawn from the end.
Ethan tilted his head to observe it, and his expression was a little fascinated, "So... you are the culprit who was sent to hollow out the earth."
The little worm didn't respond to his words, waving the front end to himself.
"Are you male or female? Do you also have a sub-sex?" Ethan reached out and touched the thin skin of the little worm, and suddenly smiled and said to himself, "Whether it's male or female, I'm afraid You're going to die alone."
He wouldn't let Samuel have an accident, he was the only friend left.
Should it be killed? Today's Earth is very sparsely populated, and some important Earth Alliance government departments are still housed here. But... After all, this is the birthplace of the galactic civilization, and there are more or less ordinary citizens living in a few relatively large cities.
But if you kill it...
Ethan silently looked at the little worm that kept rubbing against his arm, as if taking him as a "mother", and had another plan in mind.
He stood up and stepped off the high platform, and walked to the river channel that exuded a strong bloody smell. He crouched down, his right hand yanked the little worm wrapped around his left arm, watching it curl up in the air uneasily as it lost its support. Ethan dropped it into the river and watched as it swam on the surface, twisting and twisting like a giant pork tapeworm.
Ethan said to it, "The 'food' here is enough for you to eat for a while."
The little worm soon disappeared in the middle of the black water, and Ethan saw the body not far away floating violently, and a pink thing flashed around its waist.
Ethan grinned and whispered, "So much food, probably growing up soon."
At this time, he asked, there was a trace of burnt and spicy smell in the air. Although the origin of the smell was probably far away from them, the smell was as clear to Ethan as the smell of Omega on Samuel. He knew right away that people outside would be too afraid to come in, so he wanted to smoke him and Samuel out of these drains.
He turned around quickly, and without knowing where the strength came from, he pulled up Samuel, who was drowsy on the ground, and dragged him off the high platform. He picked up a flashlight from the ground and tied it around his waist, then with all his strength, he put most of Samuel's weight on his shoulders and led him down the corridor.
He had never been so grateful that he had done work related to sewers before, and he was more familiar with the terrain here than anyone in the Forbidden City. The last time he broke into an old subway station by mistake, it was a good place to hide now, thinking about it.
Making up his mind, Ethan groped in the dark with memory. The pungent, choking odor was getting more and more pungent, and he held his breath most of the time, but he had to endure it as Samuel's heavy body weighed on his shoulders.
The wall in his memory has been re-sealed. Ethan touched one wall after another, and finally found a concrete wall that felt different from other walls.
"It's here." Ethan stretched his feet and pushed it hard, but the wall didn't move. He then considered whether to corrode the wall with the acid from his tentacles.
At this moment, Ethan's body suddenly froze.
Because a piece of thinking suddenly appeared in his mind, which did not belong to him.
There was a little sunshine-like heat in that thought, which made his cold body warm up in an instant. The long-silent string of soul shackles has finally been plucked again.
The idea that Tanissell passed on was very simple, with only three words: I am here.
