MTL - I Plunder Endlessly In the Interstellar Age-Chapter 420 Alien

It was seven o'clock in the morning, and the sky was not yet completely bright, and the community was still full of people, and there were figures everywhere who were busy or just finished their work.

The ground was wet, and it had rained all night so that the place was shrouded in cold air.

Chuxue was sitting in a temporary large transparent tent with only simple seats around her. She was indescribably tired after not sleeping for a long time.

Although all the monsters have been cleared, she is not happy at all, because she doesn't know what to do except wait.

Fortunately, there is a mask to cover it, so that people can't see the abnormally bad face.

At this time, Xiaorou walked in slowly with a plastic bowl, gently placed it in front of Chuxue, lifted the lid, revealing steaming noodles and a few slices of meat inside: "Sir, I just asked them to buy it from outside." Yes, eat some."

As he spoke, he picked up a few paper towels and wiped Xue Xue's slightly damp hair.

Chuxue had no appetite at first, after all, the corpses of those monsters were still vivid in his memory.

But smelling the aroma of noodles, she still had a great appetite, and picked up the disposable tableware: "Have you eaten? Where are our people?"

"I'll eat later, we've got everyone." Xiaorou didn't look up, she was still helping Chuxue wipe her hair.

After confirming, Chuxue stopped talking and ate the noodles slowly.

After eating something, let her cold hands gradually warm up.

"Sir, the specific combat report is being made, and it will probably come out soon. Our people are all fine, but the guards and ordinary residents have died a lot."

"Wu Di'an is arranging the funeral work for ordinary residents..." Xiaorou couldn't keep her mouth idle when she was doing nothing, and kept talking to Chuxue about irrelevant things.

Chuxue didn't speak the whole time, just listening quietly while eating noodles.

"Also, our mecha corps is basically ready, and they are on standby at the star port, and they can be called down at any time." Xiao Rou continued, seeming to be used to Chu Xue not answering.

"Not for the time being. If there is no similar situation in the future, they will not be needed." Chuxue shook her head.

It was her order to assemble and prepare last night. At that time, she was worried that things would get worse and wanted to make two-handed preparations.

Later, Woodian led the team and successfully dealt with it, so there was no need to shake people.

With the destructive power of monsters, in fact, as long as the situation is controlled in time at the beginning of the incident, such as a building, a community, or even a city, it can be contained.

Therefore, relying on the local troops alone is basically enough to deal with it, and the mech legion of the law enforcement officers come down somewhat like a cannon to kill mosquitoes.

Probably because she heard the depth of Chuxue's voice, Xiaorou suddenly stopped her movements: "Sir, you don't need to be so stressed, you have already done a good job."

"When I came here just now, I heard many surviving residents and the security team thank you, saying that you saved them."

Having been with Chuxue for so long, she knows very well that Chuxue is a person who will be strict with herself.

This kind of reaction now is likely to feel self-blame for the result of this incident, after all, many people died.

"No." Chuxue shook her head directly, "In room 303, I was too cautious and gave the monster a chance to escape."

"If you are decisive and break open the doors of the three bedrooms in the first place, maybe nothing will happen later."

"Those people who died above the fifteenth floor have a lot to do with my decision."

"As for those who survived, I didn't intend to save them, it's just luck..."

Speaking of the latter, Chuxue's voice also became smaller.

She was indeed blaming herself, causing the original one or two monsters to almost grow in size, and things almost got out of control.

Although there is nothing wrong with being cautious, it would be a bit of an afterthought to correct the previous things now, but she just feels that she has not done a lot of details well.

This is also what her father taught her since she was a child. Don't think about what you did right, but think deeply about what you did wrong, so that you can keep urging yourself.

"You can't think like that, sir, this

We didn't cause the monsters here, but we found it here through accurate judgment. "

"If this is not the case, then the follow-up monsters will hatch at the right time, and it will evolve into a more terrible disaster than Wanli City."

"Based on this, we are equivalent to saving people in a city or even a planet, and now we are only paying the price of a few hundred people, which is already very profitable." Xiaorou began to comb Chuxue's hair again.

In the organization of Law Enforcement Federation, they are the relationship between the boss and the subordinate, but in private, they are very good friends, and she can say a lot of things directly.

"If that's the case, that's fine, Xiaorou." Chuxue sighed softly.

"What's the matter? Sir." Xiaorou's hands stopped again, and she could hear something in Chuxue's words.

"We have only a few monsters here, and they can do such a big thing."

"You have also seen the parasitic and hatching abilities of these monsters, they are too powerful to comprehend."

"Since this is the case, the entire city of Wanli City has been invaded by monsters. Can it really be completely cleared in such a short period of time? Can it really be cleared so well?"

"I don't think so. As long as one monster escapes alive, these things will definitely come back."

"Perhaps that monster has already secretly infiltrated into other cities, and has been lurking for a long time, parasitizing countless people, waiting for the opportunity to hatch again and a disaster erupts."

"More importantly, we have no way of screening, even if we know that there is a possibility, we can't control it."

"The last time the monster just broke out in one city, it caused so much trouble."

"If the monsters lurk a little longer this time, infiltrate all the cities, and then explode in unison, then I don't think this planet will be able to hold on."

"We may have saved a lot of people now, but it's all temporary. It's hard to say what will happen in the end." Chuxue said for a long time, with seriousness between the lines.

What can trouble her is of course not the past, but a slightly gloomy future.

Just reading the report before, she didn't feel anything. She thought that Wanli City and surrounding cities responded in a timely manner and resolved the disaster.

After seeing the fighting power of the monsters from the monitor, I felt that it would not be difficult to wipe out the remaining monsters in the entire city in one day, which only showed that the security team was capable.

But after experiencing it for herself, seeing what the monster unfolded firsthand, she has a different view on it.

As in the disaster report submitted by Wanli City, everything was executed so perfectly, it was basically impossible, and it was a little watery.

And this kind of behavior is fatal to the entire planet, so that the disaster has not really left.

"Then what should we do? Sir." Xiaorou frowned slightly.

If it was true what Chuxue said, it would indeed be serious.

In addition, too much time has passed, even if Wanli City's report is held accountable, it is meaningless.

"I have no choice but to wait until the headquarters sends back what they got, or wait for the monster to show up again." Chuxue shook her head, her tone full of helplessness.

Facing monsters, they have no initiative at all.

Her mission on this trip was to gain the initiative, but she obviously didn't do it well.

Just when Xiaorou was about to say something, her sky message suddenly rang several times in succession.

Xiaorou took it out with doubts, then her eyes widened suddenly, and she shook Chuxue's shoulders: "Sir! The report has been sent from the headquarters!"

Chuxue was equally refreshed by this news, she put down the tableware and turned her head: "Open!"

She had been waiting for this thing for too long, and what the planetary fortress provided would be the key to breaking the situation.

After taking a deep breath, Xiaorou took out the folding light board she was carrying, unfolded it, and projected a virtual screen, and then clicked on the encrypted file.

There are indeed things related to monsters in it, with pictures, texts and explanations, and the whole is very detailed.

First of all, the identity of this monster has been confirmed, and it does belong to the Dirk Zerg, or a natural disaster.

Regarding this point, Chuxue and Xiaorou

It's not surprising that they knew about it long before they came to this planet.

It's just that there was no direct evidence at the time, and now it's just confirmed.

And the kind of carapace monster they saw the most was named Alien, and its characteristics were parasitism and hatching.

According to experimental research, the body fluid of the alien contains eggs, or the larvae of the alien.

When the alien insect bites a non-natural disaster creature, such as a human or an animal, it will inject its own body fluids, allowing the eggs or larvae to enter the target's body. This process is called parasitism.

After the parasitism is complete, regardless of whether the target is dead or alive, the eggs and larvae will absorb relevant supplies until hatching is complete.

There are two types of absorption. The first type is powerful absorption, that is, the kind that hatches rapidly in 30 seconds.

It is characterized by fast hatching, small individuals and a small number.

The second type is slow absorption, which is characterized by slow hatching, large individuals and large numbers.

The specific value increases as the incubation time increases.

These points are all in line with Chuxue's guess. Even without experiments, she has already deduced these from actual cases.

Why corpses, like living bodies, can hatch monsters has also been explained.

Not all parasites are the same, though.

If it is an alien with relatively powerful genes that parasitizes a living body, then it can control the related living body and perform more complex behaviors.

If the genetically poorer aliens, then the behavior is relatively simple.

If the target of the parasite is not a living body, no matter whether the gene is strong or not, it is useless, and it cannot make the corpse behave like a living body.

These points were something that Chuxue hadn't thought of before and was puzzled.

For example, why the middle-aged man who drove from here to Wanli City and caused a disaster is exactly like a normal person.

And the multiple parasites he left here just lay on the bed and slept without any signs of activity.

Now it seems that among the aliens that parasitized the middle-aged man, there is a very powerful gene that controls the middle-aged man to do many things.

The remaining parasitized ones have no relevant abilities and can only lie down to pass the incubation time.

Although the explanation was very detailed, Chuxue still had doubts about it.

Because it doesn't say whether the parasitic living body has the ability to parasitize the new living body without hatching.

Also, it is obviously a larva or an egg, how do you know when to hatch quickly, when to hatch slowly, and what is commanding or controlling it.

Chuxue didn't get too entangled in these questions that she didn't want to understand, but continued to read, and soon discovered the fatal weakness of the alien eggs and larvae.

That is, when exposed to air, it will be rapidly inactivated in a second or two.

For example, an alien, whose body fluids are full of eggs and larvae, is blown dry by a gun, and the body fluids flow out and come into contact with air, and the eggs and larvae will all die.

This is indeed good news, which means that these bodily fluids can be touched or touched without worrying about being parasitized.

Then, why these aliens grow while parasitic, are also explained in detail.

Probably, when the aliens parasitize a certain creature, the moment they inject their own body fluids, they will also absorb the other's body fluids.

This part of the absorption is their rations. If there is more rations, they will naturally grow up.

When it reaches a certain level, it will undergo metamorphosis, or evolution.

Like the more difficult sickle monster, it is named the alien sickle rot snake, which is the first metamorphosis of the alien.

From something that can only be parasitic and has no offensive and defensive characteristics, it has become a very aggressive creature.

But metamorphosis is not a perfect body, and the alien sickle rot snake can also obtain the supplies it needs.

When they reach a certain level, they will also choose the relevant metamorphosis direction, namely the Alien Scythe and the Alien Snake.

Although it sounds like a thing, their abilities are insane

Different.

If we say that the alien sickle rot snake is a creature with both melee and long-range means, but it is not outstanding, and its defense means are close to zero.

After transforming into a sickle snake of different shapes, it will greatly enhance its melee combat ability, the sickles on its arms will be larger and more lethal, and its body will grow hard scales to resist attacks.

However, the slender mouth that can spit out acid will directly degenerate, disappear, and no longer have this ability.

The head also changed from slender to flat, with a thick cuticle growing out, which is more resistant to attack than the scales on the body.

If you choose to transform into a rotten snake~www.novelbuddy.com~, the mouth will become more slender, and the range of shooting will be enhanced, and more acid can be stored.

The sickles on both arms degenerate into two smaller spouts, which can also spit out acid.

Anyway, what the Alien Scythe pays attention to is the ultimate melee ability, integrating offense and defense.

The alien rotten snake pursues a powerful long-range ability, and it still has no defense, which is very characteristic.

These are not Chuxue's personal guesses and thoughts, but the planetary fortress report clearly stated that there are even virtual images of the alien sickle snake and the alien rotten snake, which appear lifelike.

When seeing this, Chuxue was shocked, and looked at Xiaorou next to him with disbelief: "This report... did the headquarters say how it was obtained..."

Even if there are many explanations for things like the aliens, she can understand them.

After all, this is not the first time this has happened. A large number of samples have also been obtained from the previous planets. As long as the planetary fortress invests time and energy, it is indeed capable of researching it.
