When they were less than five meters away from the lizard monster, the lizard monster suddenly raised its head, jumped up violently, and pounced on the small creature accurately. Zhou Yu was surprised at the speed.
This made Zhou Yu, who had made the decision to move, stop involuntarily.
After the lizard monster split its prey into its belly, it became quiet.
It got up and walked towards Zhou Yu's direction.
Zhou Yu and Wu Yun had to step back. They automatically blocked in front of the two team members. Unlike Zhou Yu and Wu Yun, they lacked experience in dealing with Nibelungen alien creatures, and would not try to observe each other's habits like Zhou Yu or Wu Yun Judgment, once lost, can have devastating results.
In any case, Zhou Yu believes that the prey will only be recognized after entering a certain range around it.
Just as they were retreating, there was a sudden exclamation behind them.
Another lizard monster came behind them at some point, and as they retreated, they attacked the team member closest to them!
It grabbed the creature's shoulder and dragged it quickly across the ground.
The team member took out his own gun and kept shooting at the lizard monster. But because of the shoulder injury, he couldn't grasp the direction, the bullets collapsed, and the sparks shot everywhere.
Wu Yunzheng ran over and tried to save him, but was almost hit by a bullet.
"Damn - if you shoot again, I will kill you!"
The bullet hit his toes, just one millimeter away, and Wu Yun would die here.
It was so dark in the cave that none of them could shoot when the target couldn't see clearly.
"In the future, even if you go out on a mission in broad daylight, you must be equipped with night vision goggles!"
This is Wu Yun's experience.
Zhou Yu ran hard, chasing Wu Yun, Wu Yun chased the lizard monster, and another team member chased him according to Zhou Yu's footsteps.
The only feeling Zhou Yu could feel was that the ground under his feet sloped slightly downward. At this rate, they should be running deeper.
It's no coincidence, whether it's the "messenger" or Pelidon, the attacking helicopter and the giant bird that drives them into the crevice of the valley, and the vines that seal the entrance, it all means that some kind of creature is driving them in The deepest part of this cave.
You can't always be in control of the opponent!
Just as Zhou Yu put his hand to the rucksack behind him, a gust of cool wind hit, Zhou Yu pulled the trigger up without thinking, only to hear a screeching sound, something was shot and fell down and fell on the ground. On the players who are chasing.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Yu took out the glow stick and took a look at it.
The team member pushed away the lizard monster with difficulty and climbed out with a look of panic.
Zhou Yu pulled the opponent up.
"What the hell is this!"
At the moment when the light-emitting rod swayed, Zhou Yu seemed to have found something on the lizard monster, and he said to the team member, "You are on guard!"
He crouched down, the glow stick shining over the monster's corpse.
The scales on its body seem to have grown from under the flesh and blood, with traces of blood. Zhou Yu has no doubt that when these scales grow, it must be painful.
It has some scars on its neck, like the marks left after being scratched hard.
And... it seems to have an Adam's apple
And its abdomen and the underside of its arms have no scales. Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and reached out to turn its arms over.
"Instructor Zhou..." The team members who followed Zhou Yu were a little worried, what if it suddenly attacked Zhou Yu without dying
"It's okay." Zhou Yu turned over its forearm and found that there was a faint pattern there, which had been worn down and could not be seen clearly.
"Instructor Zhou, what are you looking at? Let's just leave him alone, I'm worried about Instructor Wu..."
"It's a tattoo." Zhou Yu said suddenly.
"What? Tattoos? How is that possible?"
He also squatted down and looked at the light of the glow stick. There was indeed a tattoo-like mark there.
"It seems to be an English name... This one looks like E, this letter looks like Y." Zhou Yu said.
"If it's an English name, it looks like Emily? But how could the creature here have a tattoo! Could it be that someone helped it get tattooed?"
In Zhou Yu's mind flashed the information Song Zhi had handed over to them about Dr. Turin's last mission.
One of them, a guy named Chris, noted in his message that he had his fiancée's name tattooed on his forearm: Emily.
"There's a good chance he's Chris Vankes."
Zhou Yu got up.
"What? This guy is... the missing field team member? How is this possible! This is obviously a monster!"
what's the problem? How did he become like this
If Chris Vankes has become like this, what about the rest of the team? What about Dr. Turin? Did he also become a lizard monster
"Oops! Wu Yun!"
If his inferences are correct, then there must be something here that can cause human mutation! Zhou Yu held a glow stick, and another team member chased behind him.
Just ahead, he faintly saw Wu Yun holding a glow stick.
"Wu Yun, are you alright?"
Wu Yun made a gesture of silence towards Zhou Yu, and then stretched his hand to the top of his head, indicating to Zhou Yu that there seemed to be something above their heads. The three of them stood guard against each other, back to back.
Zhou Yu finally decided to take out the luminous bomb and shoot it towards the top.
The luminous bomb rose more than ten meters before it exploded.
The whole cave was illuminated, and all three of them were dumbfounded at that moment.
The cave was much bigger than they thought, about the same size as the cave where Elpis grew up. There are countless holes on the stone walls of the cave, which can be described as riddled with holes.
On such a stone wall, there are several lizard monsters. They have no response to such bright light.
The team member who was bitten by the lizard monster on the shoulder has been dragged to the stone wall by it, his legs are hanging in the air, his gun has also fallen, and it is scattered on the ground.
"So... so much... what should we do?" The team members who followed Zhou Yu said.
The team members who were taken away were still alive, trembling with blood loss.
Even if they can see clearly at this moment, they can shoot, but once they shoot, the team member will fall from this height, and most likely will die.
The other lizards turned their heads in their direction eagerly. Zhou Yu knew that they had entered the hunting range of these lizard monsters.
Zhou Yu secretly calculated the number of these lizard monsters, which matched the number of missing field personnel.
"Most of them are the field members who protect Dr. Turin." Zhou Yu said.
"How is that possible!" Wu looked at Zhou Yu with the expression "Has your brain broken?".
Zhou Yu raised his chin and motioned Wu Yun to look at the lizard monster biting their team members.
The lizard monster climbed higher and higher, and in the peripheral vision of the flares about to dissipate, there seemed to be something on its forearm.
Wu Yun's eyes widened, that thing was exactly the same as the locator on his arm! That is the basic configuration given by Juli Group to protect researchers who go out!
And Wu Yun also discovered that another crawling lizard monster was wearing a shattered camouflage uniform!
These are no coincidences.
"This... what's going on here? If they are really those players, are they still conscious?" Wu Yun asked.
"If you were conscious, you wouldn't attack us." Zhou Yu raised his gun, "Before they attack us, deal with them."
It is impossible to bring them back to the base who have lost their human consciousness, and it is absolutely too late to passively wait for these lizard monsters to attack them.
Compassion for the same kind is meaningless at the moment.
The lizard monster climbed higher and higher, and the bitten team member begged weakly: "Save me... please help me..."
At this moment, something was slowly blooming at the top of the hole, it was a huge flower.
The brightness of the flare had been lost, Zhou Yu raised his head, and could only see the huge shadow at the top of the hole.
Just hell is gradually eating their world.
"Wu Yun! Do you still have flares!" Zhou Yu said coldly.
Wu Yun said nothing and fired a flare again.
The inside of the cave was bright again.
Zhou Yu looked up and looked at the huge flower.
Its petals are translucent, with a silver center and pale gold edges, more delicate than the painted tops of Western churches.
Such beauty is almost impossible to look away from.
And Hua Xin slowly stretched out some kind of red meat thread, which wrapped around the injured team member sent by the lizard monster.
"What the hell is this!" Wu Yun looked at Zhou Yu.
"Death Dahlia..." At the same time as Zhou Yu answered, he raised his gun and shot at the top of his head. The flesh thread of Death Dahlia quickly shoved the injured team member into the center of the flower and pulled the nearest lizard monster. , blocked Zhou Yu's bullets.
The Death Dahlia, like Elpis, belongs to the A-level creature, but it is much more ferocious than Elpis. It also has the ability to manipulate low-level creatures, and the "messenger" birds and Peledon near this valley are all under its control. Its flower heart can grow many red meat threads, which are its digestive organs. But how the death dahlia turned those field staff into this way, Zhou Yu is unknown.
"Damn..." Zhou Yu originally thought that this guy was so big, with obvious goals, and he grew up in a fixed place, but he didn't expect it to move so sensitively.
At the same time, those lizard monsters that were originally clinging to the cave wall also rushed up. They were controlled by Death Dahlia and had already become its subjects.
Zhou Yu replaced the magazines, and Wu Yun and the rest of the team fired in all directions regardless of the 3721.
Several lizard monsters were hit and fell to the ground.
Zhou Yu calmly shot in their random shots and dealt with the three approaching lizard monsters.
Still one rushed over their heads, its claws slid across the body of the player, and Zhou Yu cut off the gun and hit it.
"Ah..." The player fell to the ground.
"Hey, how are you?" Wu Yun pulled him up and checked his shoulders. Fortunately, his coat was torn.
At this moment, the lizard monsters in the cave are all dead.
Wu Yun exhaled, but Zhou Yu stretched out his arm and pulled Wu Yun and the remaining team member away: "Be careful!"
I saw that the closed flower heart of the dead dahlia slowly opened again, and a lizard monster was slowly spit out by it.
It also had a viscous liquid on its body, and when it fell to the ground, it made a "crash" sound.
It slowly climbed up, and some kind of scales on its back broke through the skin and grew out of blood.
"My goodness… "
Zhou Yu and the others kept retreating, watching it struggle in pain, it opened its mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound, and then it stretched out its twisted front claws and grabbed its own throat.
"It... it was eaten just now..." The team member behind Wu Yun was completely stupid.
All this was beyond his comprehension.
"The death dahlia you mentioned... has such... function?" Wu Yun asked.
In the next second, the original human eye of the lizard monster suddenly lost its pupil and turned upward, leaving only the white of the eye.
It lowered its head, as if feeling something, and then rushed towards Zhou Yu and Wu Yun.
Zhou Yu said nothing, pulled the trigger, hit it in the head, and ended it all.
Death Dahlia opened her mouth again, and countless fleshy lines made a greasy sound, extending from the heights.
Zhou Yu didn't say a word, just raised the gun and aimed at Hua Xin for a burst of fire.
But the dead dahlia's epidermis has a layer of mucus. When the bullet hits the mucus, it's like hitting a bulletproof vest.
And those meat lines squirm wildly, Zhou Yu and Wu Yun ran while shooting.
They went along the only underground river, but the team running behind let out a cry, and Zhou Yu turned around to find that the meat thread pierced his ankle and dragged him away.
Wu Yun and Zhou Yu wanted to step forward, but there was already a meat thread extending in front of them.
What should I do!
Now how to do
Bullets can't shoot through it, and its meat thread is a very penetrating weapon! It is an A-level creature. If it is not solved here, even if it leaves this cave, it can also manipulate other creatures to kill them!
For the first time, Zhou Yu realized that he had been cornered.
Wu Yun emptied the magazine and had to take out the dagger from his waist: "It's a big deal! The fish is dead and the net is broken! Anyway, this life was picked up!"
At this moment, a certain voice sounded in Zhou Yu's mind: I am here, Zhou Yu, here I am.
Zhou Yu's pupils trembled, and he realized that the voice belonged to Mo Ye.
He thought he was far enough away from the base, but he didn't expect Mo Ye to be still in his brain!
Zhou Yu, I'm not your enemy, I want to bring you back, so don't reject me again, don't resist me again, even once... Just this time, please believe me.
Zhou Yu closed his eyes and remembered the first time Mo Ye rescued himself.
What is there to be afraid of, Zhou Yu. Nothing will end worse than it is now. Death Dahlia is an A-level creature, and indeed only an S-level creature like Mo Ye can deal with it!
Zhou Yu said in his heart: All right. If I believe you, then what should I do
Mo Ye replied: Let me borrow your body and let me lead all this.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath, he knew that this was the end, and he had no other choice.
Mo Ye's voice sounded again: Relax, Zhou Yu... Relax...
He felt like he was in a warm embrace, and Mo Ye hugged him tightly behind him. He pressed against Zhou Yu's cheek, his breath swept through every cell of his skin and penetrated into his body.
"Don't worry, leave it all to me... trust me."
When Zhou Yu opened his eyes again, he struggled to run.
"Zhou Yu! What are you doing!" Wu Yun reached out to grab him, but Zhou Yu's speed was too fast for him.
Seeing that those fleshy threads were about to pierce into Zhou Yu's body, but they seemed to be pushed away by an invisible force and dispersed in an instant.
Wu Yun was stunned and chased after him.
Zhou Yu ran all the way without interruption, he rushed under the dead dahlia and raised his head.
All the fleshy threads quickly retracted as if they were frightened, retracted into the center of the flower, and even the opened petals quickly closed.
"What's going on?" Wu Yun, who was catching up, was startled by the scene in front of him, "Zhou Yu! Come back soon! Zhou Yu!"
But Zhou Yu didn't react at all.
And the hell dahlia seemed to be shrinking away from being noticed, it seemed to be afraid of Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu looked up, and those eyes suddenly turned golden.
The hell dahlia on the top of the cave seemed to be driven into a desperate situation, and suddenly opened its petals to engulf Zhou Yu in one bite.
Wu Yun was terrified, even if there was a dagger left, he couldn't let Zhou Yu be eaten by it!
At the moment Wu Yun rushed up, the petals of the dahlia seemed to be hit by some force, torn apart completely, and fell around Zhou Yu.
However, Zhou Yu still maintained a look-up posture.
Time stood still.
Those petals fell to the ground and instantly rotted away.
The team member engulfed by the death dahlia was also vomited.
He was still conscious, and after finally getting oxygen, he coughed hard.
Zhou Yu turned his face to the side and looked at Wu Yun: "Let's go."
The color of Zhou Yu's pupils shocked Wu Yun, and he drew his gun instantly and aimed it at Zhou Yu.
"What are you? What have you done to Zhou Yu!"
Wu Yun's hand holding the gun was steady, but his heart was trembling violently.
The corners of the man's lips slowly raised in front of him, and that smile had a temperament that did not belong to Zhou Yu at all.
Lazy and proud.
As if he was born above them.
"Wu Yun, I'm Mo Ye. If you don't want to die, come with me immediately before I'm still capable."
Wu Yun understood in an instant.
Zhou Yu, who was controlled by Mo Ye, bent down, pulled up the team members who had lost their strength, and neatly carried them on his shoulders.
His strength is surprisingly large, clearly carrying a person, but walking without the slightest instability.
They walked along the current.
Wu Yun, who was following behind him, felt strange in his heart.
"Are you really Mo Ye?"
"If I'm not Mo Ye, could it be the death dahlia?" Mo Ye's voice contained a hint of teasing.
This is a tone that Zhou Yu would not have under normal circumstances.
"Are you in Zhou Yu's body?" Wu Yun asked again.
"My thoughts are in Zhou Yu's body. Do you want to say, if Zhou Yu is parasitized by me, should you kill me?"
"Zhou Yu is my brother." Wu Yun replied.
He would find various ways to rescue Zhou Yu, but he couldn't pull the trigger on Zhou Yu.
"If it's not parasitic, how on earth do you control Zhou Yu's body just by your thinking?" Wu Yun asked.
It's almost like being possessed. Wu Yun was incomprehensible.
"It's as if the 'messenger' shares vision with Peledon, who is controlled by the dead dahlia, a kind of telekinesis and a special ability possessed by the creatures of the Nibelung."
"So how did you kill the Death Dahlia? You didn't even touch it!"
"You said that Nibelungen creatures have a strict hierarchy. My level is higher than it, so I can destroy it." Mo Ye said it as simple as drinking a cup of tea.
"Then can you destroy us in that way?" Wu Yun asked again.
"No, because your neural structure is different from the creatures in the Nibelungs. The creatures here have a special kind of nerve impulse, and all living things can connect to each other to some extent, and even understand and communicate with each other. The higher the level of the creature, the stronger the power. It's like an A-level creature like Elpis can manipulate lower-level creatures, and as an S-level creature, this pulse is stronger."
"Thank you for your popular science. I think Mr. Song would be very interested in what you said." Wu Yun replied.
"But I'm not interested in sharing this knowledge with him. I prefer to watch him groping in the dark. It's better to go further and further down the wrong path." Mo Ye's voice was a bit joking.
"Well, I don't like Song Zhi very much. So besides Zhou Yu, can you control the bodies of other humans?" Wu Yun suddenly became worried. If his assumption was true, everyone in the base would be in danger. And Mo Ye's so-called restricted freedom was nothing but a game he played with humans in his spare time.
"What are you thinking about? I have Zhou Yu's blood in my body, and our genes are matched, so I can use his body to exert my abilities, but other humans, in addition to tempting you, read Your thoughts, just kidding... the rest is useless."
Mo Ye suddenly turned around and leaned towards Wu Yun.
