The nonhumans began to ask questions, no longer satisfied with the perfunctory remarks their bosses had given them. They wanted to know what happened, especially after finding out that Jeff had been quarantined by Ethan. The ten nonhuman leaders who had spoken with Tanisiel were so worried about it that they all accompanied each other to smoke. The more timid nonhumans gathered around Chen Zeng and talked about the strange dreams they had seen while they had previously slept for two or three hours.
Ethan sat behind a sofa in a secluded corner and quietly listened to a Beta speak, his hands hugging his knees. He found that many of these nonhumans complained that they were having nightmares and didnt sleep well. Soone said that he saw an extrely large and ancient city-like place in his dream and that he fell into the abyss if he walked around carelessly. Chen Zeng inexplicably told them not to believe what they saw in their dreams because they are easily tempted by the devil in monts of weakness and that they have to believe in the Lords care for them.
The female Beta, who previously had a ntal breakdown, sat alone on the sofa, talking to herself while clutching sothing that seed to be a pendant. If you approached her, you would hear her mumbling the sa words to herself repeatedly: She is coming, she is coming, she is coming
Ethan felt exhausted. He had been overwheld with anxiety for a long ti and almost hoped that everything would happen quickly so that at least he would not have to worry about it any longer. He also wondered why Gina still regarded him as the person holding the highest authority. Didnt Derek repair her communication system last night?
Ordid Derek not actually fix it? Did he deliberately not repair it?
He could not help but glance at the young boy, who had found a gaming helt and was playing fighting gas in the hall. He recalled that he had tried to rge his brothers consciousness with that of a robot dogs. Why would such a gifted teenager do such a terrible thing? It was truly a pity
But on second thought, maybe this was what the governnt wanted? In this way, they now had a genius within the grasp of their hands, and they could get him to work without having to pay him.
And the priest
He was attracted to the priest, yet also afraid of him.
However, the fanaticism that had suddenly burst out of those empty silvery-gray eyes definitely did not belong to an ordinary priest.
Samuel had already spread the news that everyone should stick together. As soon as they spot sothing unusual in the sky, they should apply the foul sap that they collected last night. Each of them held a bottle of the liquid in their hands, and people were panicking after pieces of information about the giant monster in the sky had been leaked. Suddenly, every nonhumans neck received a slight electric shock, while the transmitter in their ears transmitted the voice of the chief security officer, We have landed. We will arrive at Base No.18 shortly, so get ready to open the door for us.
Ethan ordered Gina to turn on all the caras on the base facing the outside world. The scene of the red field was reflected onto the bright white walls of the hall. Even on the floor, the red herbs were projected, making them feel as if they were outside. Far away in the field, another saucer-shaped spaceship had landed beside the small spaceship that they had originally arrived here on. More than a dozen small spots were coming towards them. As Derek had not fixed the communication system, he could not see their appearances clearly, but he was almost certain that those dots were the soldiers and the chief security officer of the nonhumans.
Ethan was about to order Gina to open the door when soone pressed down on his shoulder. He looked back, and saw that Tanisiel had appeared behind him without him noticing.
Listen.
Ethan had an ominous premonition when he saw the flash of excitent in his eyes again. He listened attentively, and finally noticed a quiet sound in the range of infrasound, like a continuous buzzing sound in their ears. However, the sound beca stronger, causing him to feel a little dizzy.
It was as if there was sothing that was inching closer and closer to them.
He couldnt locate the source of the sound, as it appeared to co from all directions, from every molecule of the air, and even from the earth beneath them. For a mont, a series of strange images suddenly flashed through his consciousness.
It was a huge ancient city, full of strange buildings with sharp corners that didnt belong to any known planetary style. Huge dark shadows slowly floated past in the blood red sky, and wherever they passed there would be dark green creatures fleeing in all directions. In a huge swamp, countless frog-like creatures stretched out their hands to the sky, greeting sothing with piercing howls of ecstasy. They chanted repeatedly: ah-ga-ha-shha-bub-ga-neh-gahha-sa.
These inexplicable images invaded Ethans mind, and he felt a chill travel to even the marrows of his bones. The huge stone walls that stretched up into the sky at impossible angles were filled with evil symbols. He saw the limbs of those green creatures, bulging and mutilated. Green blood flowed in the street like a river, travelling into a huge mouth in the distance that had torn open the sky
He let out a low cry and covered his ears with his hands. The other nonhumans could obviously hear it, and many with weak willpower had already collapsed on the ground, while the rest covered their ears in succession. Even those as strong as Samuel still looked around in fear, and their shoulders shrunk involuntarily. Only Chen Zeng was still amazingly calm, though there was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
But Tanisiel, whose perception ability was several tis that of human beings, didnt have an expression of fear. Instead, he was exuberant, and his gray eyes, typically empty, seed to have descended into an intoxicating dream-like illusion. Ethan heard him murmuring, Shub-Nigguthe great goddess of fertility
When the images in their heads dimd, the sky also suddenly began to dim rapidly all around them. The red color seed to be absorbed by sothing, and clusters of black quickly penetrated the sky and began to expand. Across the distant horizon, huge black lumps surged behind the mountains silhouette as though they were ready to gush out at any given mont.
Samuel, Otto, Derek and the others reacted almost instantly and called out, Its started! Its started! Hurry and put the sap on!
Ethan imdiately opened the lid of the bottle in his hand. The pungent scent of rotten at was so suffocating that he was unable to open his eyes. He took off his glasses, poured the liquid from the bottle into the palm of his hand, and sared it on his face and body. The oily liquid was sticky and slippery as it trickled all over his body. His entire body instantly slled like a corpse that had been rotting for more than a month.
The others were more straightforward in applying it, directly dumping a bucket over their heads. Those who were not able to respond could only remain frozen in place, stunned. Chen Zeng held a bucket of black sap in one hand, and splashed so over anyone he saw that was stupefied. Although it was very efficient, it also made a huge ss in the hall.
Ethan looked back and saw that Tanisiel was also motionless. He quickly picked up a bucket of black sap that had not been used up and copied what Chen Zeng did, rubbing the sap all over the priests face. In a mont, the priest seed to have been soaked in ink from head to toe. After a mont, his body went stiff. He slowly raised his hand and wiped his face, revealing a pair of eyes that were restored to normal, and glared at Ethan angrily. You
Ethan gazed at the originally glamorous priest who was currently soaked in the dirty liquid that slled nastier than feces. At last, he felt that he had avenged himself for what had happened in the analysis room. Inwardly, he was very happy and actually felt like laughing. However, reason told him that, first of all, they were about to die, and secondly, the priest seed angry, so it was not appropriate to laugh at this ti. He strongly suppressed his urge to laugh and muttered, You only have yourself to bla for looking dazed.
At this mont, the entire sky had rapidly dimd. Along with the long, piercing sound, those black things that were constantly moving suddenly surged into the air, much like a volcano erupting, rolling, and wriggling across the sky.
Now, they finally knew what was in that video.
It was not a cloud that blocked out the sun, but sothing solid and fleshy. It didnt have a completely solid bodycertain parts of its body were jelly-like, softly lying on the ground and gurgling. Other parts of it appeared very hard and dry, appearing as though it might crack. So tumors growing on it continued to expand and shrink back. Faint, dark reddish light filtered over the blackish gray skin. Like a web, sothing similar to black blood vessels spread all over the sky and vigorously pulsated, showing signs of life. These vessels stretched all the way to the ends of the horizon.
At the sa ti, the mothership far away in the Red Earths orbit also observed a mass of black things spreading rapidly over the surface of Red Earth. Its speed broke the laws of physics, as though it intended to wrap around the whole planet. The experts in the mothership all gasped in surprise, unable to believe the incredulous sight before their eyes.
Itseed to have suddenly appeared on the surface of Red Earth. In an instant, Red Earths magnetic field beca disorderly, and a strong earthquake occurred on the surface. Shortly after, it seed that a black dot appeared out of nowhere and blotted out the earths surface.
Of course, the nonhumans werent able to witness that. They could rely stare at the vast sky above them and watch as Heras red sunlight was completely blocked out in just a few minutes. Other than the red light that penetrated through the huge tumorous creatures body, only the headlights built around the base emitted light. Suddenly, at the periphery of the bases lighting, they saw soone running in the direction of Base No.18.
It was the reinforcents!
They were yelling sothing, running so quickly that they appeared to surpass the limits of normal humans and the Eves. As they were running, they kept turning around to look back.
They were running for their lives. Was sothing chasing them?
Ethans eyes widened as he saw a black, tentacle-like substance pursuing one of the soldiers running at the back of the group. The substance hooked onto his waist, and the soldier did not have ti to utter a sound before he was pulled into the endless darkness behind them.
