Dean opened the closed door on the left side of the glass wall and walked to the "channel". He saw an amber film growing in the channel, blocking the Upside Down World from Hawkins.
Under the perspective of life, this three-meter-long film is beating like a heart, radiating ink-like black light of life, eroding and assimilating the stable spatial nodes of the outside world.
The film seemed to feel the "intruder" approaching, calling for the gray-black spores floating in the air to gather into waves of black waves, wrapping around Dean, and then being burned to ashes by the life energy that fluctuated around him.
Dean stepped on the void and walked to the top of the passage. He pressed both sides of the gap with his hands and closed them inward, as if bending an arm bar inward.
Surging energy poured into it.
Dean's body slowly sank, and the passage closed millimeter by millimeter from top to bottom, turning back into a plain gray wall.
In half a minute, the passage was closed for a quarter.
Dean's energy reserve was nearly half consumed. He realized that he could not close the "channel" at once by himself, so he took back his hands and canceled the power.
He crazily stuffed his mouth with high-calorie food taken out of the fantasy space, and at the same time sank into red dragon meditation, preparing to return to perfect condition before closing the door again.
But when he relaxed, his expression became serious.
A distant and deep sound came from behind the film, like a whale's cry, passing through the space channel to the equipment room and spreading.
The powerful energy in the voice explodes!
Buzz——
The ceiling trembled, irregular pieces of gravel poured down, large spiderweb cracks bloomed on the special glass wall, and the center of the platform carrying the collider cracked.
The entire equipment room collapsed in the long howl, and even some of the passages that Dean had worked so hard to close seemed to be reopened like a newly healed wound.
Reveals a deeper amber color.
Dean felt an extremely bad feeling rising in his head, and gave an order to Qian Qian in his arms, "Call Damien and Sean to escape from the laboratory building!"
The badge nodded and flew out of the equipment room, disappearing at the end of the corridor.
The next second, a horrifying scene appeared in the membrane in front of Dean's eyes - in the opposite world, in the very depths, a huge silhouette passed by, like a deformed monster swimming in amniotic fluid, about to break through the membrane. Born into the real world.
Is this an eight-legged spider?
Dean couldn't help but hold his breath.
The size of the spindle-shaped head of the black giant behind the film is immeasurable, and the face shrouded in black mist stares at Dean with malice. Once the passage of Hawkins Laboratory is completely closed, it will be difficult for it to invade the real world.
It stretched out a segmented limb with three claws, but this segmented limb was too big. The original channel could not even accommodate one-tenth of it. It could only lightly touch the surface of the film and accumulate outward.
The mist rotated clockwise and tore apart the membrane that isolated the world, and rushed into the equipment room like a drill, just like what Dean had seen in the Upside Down World.
But after entering Hawkins from the Upside Down World, the space changed and the rules of heaven and earth became different. The fog was greatly suppressed and weakened, and the threat it brought to Dean was far less than before.
In addition, the area opened by the shadow can weaken the enemy's power by 15%.
We can fight!
Dean suddenly raised his left hand forward.
Sizzle...
A section of silver-white flame lit up in the void in front of the palm, and a bucket-thick electric current roared forward and hit the gray mist.
Silver and gray intertwined, illuminating Dean's resolute face, and then eroding each other three meters in front of him, releasing unparalleled energy.
The strong wind blew the entire equipment room this way and that. The walls peeled off piece by piece to reveal rough particles. The floor bumped up and down like a monster's mouth. The special glass shattered into slag and flew all over the sky. On the steel shell outside the collider, Holes were dented.
…
"This is my territory! Go back!"
Dean took a step towards the eight-legged spider on the opposite side of the film.
The shadow suspended behind him simultaneously took out the star arrows and bow in the space, stringed the bow, and aimed at a jointed limb...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——
Three arrows buzzed past, bursting out into three clusters of yellow-white starlight, instantly swallowing up a row of holes in the limbs.
The black fog then faded.
The big spider on the other side of the passage shook its huge head in pain, but to no avail.
The majestic current created by the power of thought further gained the upper hand, suppressing the black mist and retreating steadily, constantly retracting the film.
It will be completely sealed upon sight.
Suddenly there was a sound from Kaz.
The door to the equipment room was knocked open, and a bald researcher with a shiny head filed in with a group of security guards. Looking around, the dazzling electric light showed the shock on everyone's faces.
"Who can tell me what's going on? Hasn't the collider been shut down? Why is there still current bombarding the cracks?"
"Oops, the glass wall is broken, everyone leaves the laboratory and puts on protective clothing!"
They wanted to quit, but it was too late.
The mist that was facing Dean quickly split into dozens of black filaments and rushed towards the group of intruders.
Seeing this, Dean raised his left hand back, and a dazzling red wall of fire rose up from the ground to the ceiling, pushing along the door of the equipment room and burning the black filaments into nothingness.
The researchers at the door escaped unhurt.
But Dean didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.
Behind the amber film, another figure suddenly emerged from under the black silhouette of the eight-legged spider.
It was like a loyal servant of a spider. Its head squeezed out of the membrane and came to the equipment room. Its cheeks seemed to be healed after being burned, and were covered with scars, looking like evil ghosts.
It was the "Pensive One" that Dean saw in the information not long ago.
Swish——
A bolt of lightning flashed across the void.
The meditator suddenly opened his closed eyes, a pair of wet, pale and bulging fish eyes stared straight at Dean, sharp light shooting out like a substance.
More than fifty tons of telekinesis pushed Dean's body back a step, and the concrete under his feet cracked a row of shoe prints of varying depths. At the same time, some evil thoughts invaded his mind.
He heard a noise like grinding teeth and a nightmarish murmur.
Desperate emotions, fearful and uneasy thoughts breed like ants resurrecting in spring, emerging from under the cerebral cortex.
But Dean's will was so tenacious that he eliminated these chaotic thoughts in an instant, and was only distracted for a breath by the impact.
When he came to his senses, he saw a large vine sticking out from behind the head of the meditator.
Most of them were as thin as wheat awns, but some were as fat as telegraph poles, with flesh-colored suckers growing on them. They were thrown through the air with a hiss, enveloping a dozen security guards and researchers at the door who had no time to react, and wrapped them tightly in all directions, including The thickest ones went in through their mouths and nostrils.
It swelled and contracted gurglingly, injecting strange substances into their bodies.
It was as if a dozen poor people had swallowed poison. Black blood vessels bulged out from their necks between their collars, branching upwards like tree roots, covering their cheeks, temples and foreheads, all over their faces in the blink of an eye.
More than a dozen people stood there like puppets, their faces pale, and their swollen eyeballs glowed strangely. There were bulges under the skin all over their bodies. The bulges burst open and emerged into clusters of dark granulations, which interacted with the surrounding granulations. Tangled into a ball, a dozen people were slowly stitched together.
From a distance, they look like a bunch of wax figures merging together.
E pluribus become one.
Facing this disgusting and evil sight, Dean inexplicably came up with this word in his mind, and then launched the "Lightning Launch" without any hesitation!
The passing fog, the ear-piercing roar, and the crowd merging behind them all stopped for a second.
A mercury-like white light burst out in mid-air in the equipment room.
The vines that tied the crowd were cut in two, and the broken upper half didn't have time to hit the ground.
The sword light flashed forward at an extremely fast speed. As Dean teleported, he aimed at the initiator of this evil act and chopped off the ugly head that was still outside the film like a statue!
Shuala——
The white light chopped flesh and blood, tearing open the ground. Dou Da's head flew into the air, and when it landed, he was trampled into minced meat.
The headless corpse of the Thinker within the film ignited a burst of platinum flames.
The meditator is unable to respond and dies.
Dean raised his hands and feet to shake off the blood, his expression not relaxed at all.
There was no expected kill prompt in front of him, as if what he killed was just a clone.
…
as expected.
The one-second "lightning reflection" ended, and the shadow and the black mist released by the eight-legged spider were in a stalemate.
The film then threw out hundreds of winding vines, some of which broke through the ceiling, floor, and walls of the equipment room. They drilled in every direction like blood vessels, spitting out spores and secreting mucus, creating a slimy biochemical nest.
More vines hissed and swooped in like hungry snakes.
Dean held the long knife and danced the dance of death. The white flames around his body danced with the light of the knife, turning into a sharp giant blade more than five meters long.
Behead!
Behead!
Boom!
The vines were cut into pieces as soon as they emerged, and the ground was covered with a layer of bright red minced meat.
The surrounding walls were cut into long and narrow ravines by the light of the staggered and folded knives, and were riddled with holes.
But wave after wave of vines submerged Dean!
…
Behind Dean, the people at the door quietly melted into a fluid flesh-and-blood structure - an eight-legged spider shrunk ten thousand times, with eight legs of different sizes stuck on the ground, and countless flesh buds crawling on the dark red skin. Inlaid with eyes, noses, ears, and bunches of colorful hair that were previously human eyes, the spindle-shaped head only has a big mouth full of fangs like steel needles.
Swish——
It rushed out of the equipment room at lightning speed, dashing across the ground, climbing over the side walls, skimming the ceiling, and dashing towards the opposite side of the corridor with one broken blood mark at a time.
The five security personnel who noticed the movement and rushed over screamed and pressed the alarm button on the wall, picked up their submachine guns and fired furiously.
Amidst the piercing sound of sirens, hundreds of bullets were fired into this creature that was forcibly bonded with flesh and blood, but it seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, without causing any effective damage to it.
It held its eight legs on the ground, bent and gathered strength to pounce forward. It jumped fifty meters and knocked down four security guards. It bit off their heads in one bite, chewed them up and swallowed them.
At the same time, the fleshy sprouts around it greedily covered the two bloody headless corpses like living creatures, melting into a ball.
The size of the monster swelled visibly to the naked eye.
A fifth, terrified Asian security guard threw a grenade at it.
Boom!
The roar of the explosion resounded through the corridor, and blood mist and dust rose into the sky. The powerful shock wave only made the structure covered with black shrapnel tremble and lose a small part of its flesh and blood. However, these broken flesh and blood squirmed spontaneously and gathered into clusters. , flew back into its body.
It threw down the last security guard without stopping, and began to devour him.
After eating, it shook its body and rubbed its back against the side wall. Gaps like baby mouths suddenly opened on its back, and bloody vines protruded from the gaps. The tips were raised high to sniff the air. Then he used the suction cup to support him and crawled over the wall and got into the rooms on both sides of the corridor.
Amidst the screams one after another.
The vines wrapped around the thighs and waists of the five hiders and dragged them out of the corridor, cutting into their skin, leaching out blood, and injecting a mysterious substance into their mouths.
soon.
The skin of the five figures with dull expressions covered with black blood vessels opened horribly, and the bones came out, grew and twisted abnormally, and finally transformed into a small slit monster with a head on all fours and a split head, as well as a pair of gray-black wings and sharp tips. A demon bat the size of a domestic dog with sharp teeth and claws.
The two monsters roared and screamed, flew into the corridor, and dispersed into other floors. They pounced on people they saw, further spreading the infection.
…
The organizational matrix panted heavily, following closely behind the newly transformed minions, and rushed towards the corridor.
But it ran less than ten meters.
A human figure shot out of the equipment room like a missile and landed on top of it.
One punch struck down.
Boom!
After consuming twenty corpses, the fused body exploded like a ripe tomato.
The strong force further shattered the ground and the five-centimetre-thick steel plate below.
The squirming flesh and blood residue all over the sky was squeezed inwards by the invisible power of thought into a round blood ball, which was turned into ashes with the flames and arcs.
Shadow absorbs part of the soul essence, Shadow lv4 (368→388/500)
Dean retracted his fist and looked towards the equipment room behind him.
A vine swinging like a blind moray eel spread out of the corridor along with the black mist like a plague.
Wherever it passed, fine cracks were opened like sulfuric acid corrosives, filled with disgusting mucus... just like the stomach pouch of a giant beast.
Dean's thoughts were spinning. He was in a stalemate with the black mist released by the eight-legged spider and the ocean-like vines for two minutes. No one could do anything to anyone.
But the endless vines are not considered separate individuals, and no matter how many kills he kills, they cannot trigger the supernatural hunter's specialty and replenish the energy he consumes.
During this short stalemate, Dean had already expended seventy-eight percent of his energy, but the big spider maintained its condition with the support of a world.
If he continues, he will use up all his energy and won't even be able to escape.
He took one last look at the writhing vines like a show of strength,
"Since I can't win against you in my world."
"I can only go to your world and blow you up."
Sizzling——
The shadow release around him blasted out bright electric light, blocking the ocean-like vines and black mist on the opposite side.
With a flick of his wrist, Dean threw the fourth pale golden ball into the side wall of the corridor as a transfer point back to the laboratory.
Then he opened a space node in front of him and stepped into it.
Through the void.
Black and white conversion.
The next second, Dean jumped out of the woods on the northern outskirts of Hawkins, quickly took out the food stored in the snow and devoured it, returning to a perfect state of meditation.
Then, he arrived near the tree hole that connected the upside-down world where Jonathan escaped on the first day.
