swish swish...
A slight rubbing sound sounded from behind the two of them, and two hammer-headed tapeworms as thick as an adult's arm crawled out. They gently rubbed their heads against their owner's calves, as if inviting pets.
Creation and destruction, two sides in one.
Sometimes, destruction is necessary in order to create.
Zhou Tian had seen a movie about aliens, which mentioned a civilization called Engineers. One of their members came to the earth alone and took the initiative to drink black water to disintegrate himself, and the genes dispersed into the water. Achievements in humanity.
But black water does more than that, it can mutate any living thing.
The two pale hammerhead tapeworms in front of me are proof that one day in the past, Zhou Tian poured black water into the river, and the two worms, which had just formed without intelligence, completed their evolution ahead of schedule.
Of course, the direction of evolution is very different from the normal course.
Outside the cave, the rain fell harder.
Du Quan wiped the rain stains from his face, turned back to the cave, and sat down by the campfire.
A long, snake-like hammer-headed tapeworm immediately crawled over and repeated its trick, rubbing against his trouser leg as if it wanted to get something from him.
"Never underestimate human greed. I have a hunch that prey will come sooner or later."
Pick up your mood on Sunday.
Who says the villain can't win? As long as you are well prepared and decisive enough, you will definitely succeed.
He was answered with silence.
Du Quan cut his finger open, and bright red blood beads dripped down in clusters. The tapeworm below raised its head, opened its ugly petal-shaped mouth, and did not let go of a drop of food.
In an instant, the monster's figure began to surge, and its bones creaked under the stimulation of the vigorous force.
Humans are the best food for alien larvae, and other mammals are not too bad either.
However, this planet is too young. Although the environment has met the prerequisites for the birth of life, it will take time, millions of years.
"I wonder what kind of monsters our blood can breed."
After a few seconds, the wound across his fingertips healed and no more blood flowed out. Du Quan murmured.
There was an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Under his feet, a pure white giant snake shook its tail and knocked on the nearby rock wall, making a strange sound like a howl.
And the gusts of wind stirred up, causing the light emitted by the bonfire to suddenly dim.
"It is certainly far superior to any aliens that have ever appeared in movies and TV shows."
Zhou Tian was full of confidence. He was full of expectations for the future. He believed that he would be able to stir up troubles after leaving this primitive planet.
At the same time, under the guy's feet, the hammer-headed tapeworm that had gained nothing was horrified to find that a dark golden mist rose from its owner's gray eyes.
"Eat." Zhou Tian's face was blurred in the dim light.
"This time, we have to win until the end," he declared again.
"certainly."
The light in the cave flickered.
…
The slight bumps of the spacecraft made Lu Li wake up from his light sleep.
A full month has passed since it left the airport, and no accidents occurred during this period.
Calm and peaceful.
Vice Captain Mita said that this is the normal state of space navigation.
But Lu Li didn't think so. He knew that he was a man who would bring misfortune.
Because of this, the uneasiness in my heart becomes stronger the closer I get to my destination.
"What happened?"
Lu Li quickly walked out of the lounge and came to the cockpit next to him.
Mita Cheng shook his head, with a peaceful face, pointing to the scanner in front of him, and replied: "A supernova exploded in the southeast, but it was far away, and it only caused the Black Prince to shake slightly."
"Um."
Hearing this, Lu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll go around the cabins."
"Okay." Makoto Mita is already used to this. This captain with a rich background is a bit neurotic and always likes to do meaningless inspections, especially recently.
Still, it never hurts to err on the side of caution.
"Captain, we will reach the planet in three hours."
The driver, Capone, was a little nervous. He had a keen sense of smell and had noticed the clues when he set off. Therefore, he couldn't help but call Lu Li, hoping to get some inside information and increase his chances of survival.
"Well, you guys have worked hard." Lu Li paused and complimented in a flat tone.
"..."
It feels like a punch hitting cotton.
Then, under Capone's gaze, Lu Li left the cockpit without looking back.
Equipment supply points set up in each corridor, collective lounges for crew members, medical cabins on scientific research ships, experimental cabins equipped with independent air circulation systems...
When passing by the restaurant, you can smell the rich aroma of meat, tomato salmon, fried pork knuckle, onion rings, tomato and egg soup.
If nothing else goes wrong, this should be the last meal the crew will eat in deep space. Lu Li asked the chef to prepare more food in advance to boost morale.
"Director Lu, the special operations team has all entered the state. If any abnormal situation occurs, they can join the battle at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator lights came on.
Lu Li and the security manager dispatched by the company came to the equipment cabin.
"Why don't you distribute the combat uniforms?"
"Considering that some crew members were unaware, the special operations team did not act rashly, but they have received their own individual weapons, including heavy flamethrowers and micro hand cannons."
Jason has a hideous scar on his forehead, his muscles are even more exaggerated than the big Roger, and his body has been modified to a higher degree. The only shortcoming is that he has not yet broken free of the genetic lock.
At this moment, he was explaining to Lu Li the reason for not distributing combat uniforms.
The first generation combat uniform: Made of composite filling materials, it is bulletproof and anti-bite, and weighs 30 kilograms.
There are no less than two hundred sets stored in the equipment warehouse, ensuring that each crew member can get one.
In comparison, the second-generation combat uniforms are much scarcer. Although the federal government has submitted a large number of orders to Roche Biologics, the company has not yet set up a production line.
Therefore, they all flow out from the laboratory, and each set is built to the highest standards. They can already be called mecha——
Integrate defense and attack into one.
It uses the same exoskeleton as the Alien, and has external automatic weapons of different calibers, as well as auxiliary devices such as infrared scanning.
In addition, this kind of mecha not only has excellent anti-strike effect, but is also equipped with a power amplification system, which brings the combat effectiveness of special operations team members to a higher level.
After listening to the explanation, Lu Li nodded and warned, "Don't act blindly. Launch the automatic detection vehicles first, then land in batches and set up campsites."
"Please rest assured that everything will follow your will."
Jason was very humble, not because of the other person's identity, but because he was in awe of the strong.
In the past month, the two have competed in the training room many times to pass the time.
And the result... Looking back to this day, Jason still feels trembling all over.
