Falling into the Abyss

Chapter 13 Atonement: Red Earth

Non-people started asking questions, they were no longer satisfied with what their "bosses" told them, they wanted to know what was going on, especially after finding out that Jeff had been quarantined by Ethan.The ten non-human bosses who had a secret conversation with Taniser were so overwhelmed by the questioning that they had to go to smoke with their companions in the end.Cowardly non-people gathered around Chen Zeng, talking about the weird dreams they had during the short two or three hours of sleep before.

Ethan sat in a hidden corner behind a sofa with his knees crossed, quietly listening to the discussions of the Betas.He found that many of these non-humans were complaining about having nightmares and not sleeping well, saying that they saw a place like an extremely huge ancient city in their dreams, and if they walked in it, they would fall into the abyss if they were not careful.Chen Zeng said inscrutably that he should not believe what he saw in his dreams, because when people are mentally weak, they are most likely to be controlled by demons.Trust in the Lord's care for them.

The female Beta, who was mentally unstable before, was lying on the sofa alone, talking to herself, holding something that seemed to be a pendant tightly in her hand.If you get closer, you will hear her muttering the same words to herself: she is coming, she is coming, she is coming...

Ethan felt very tired.He was overwhelmed by the long-term anxiety and nervous tension, and almost wished that everything happened quickly, so that at least he would not have to worry about it anymore.He wondered why Gina still regarded him as the owner of the highest authority. Didn't Derek go to repair her communication system last night?

Or... Derek wasn't really fixed?Or is it not fixed on purpose?

He involuntarily glanced at the young boy who had found a gaming helmet somewhere and was playing a fighting game in the hall, recalling that he had tried to merge his brother's consciousness with that of the robot pet dog, he felt Incredible.Why would such a talented young man do such a terrible thing?What a pity...

But on second thought, maybe this is exactly what the government wants?In this way, they have a genius in full possession, and can let him do things without paying him a salary.

And that priest...

He'd always been attracted to that priest, but on the other hand, terrified of him.

It's not that he hasn't met Eve star priests before. After all, Eve has a good relationship with the Earth Alliance, and they have to accompany envoys every time they visit certain resource development areas on Earth.Those priests are also tall and beautiful, with elegant speech, no different from Taniser, but there is something unfathomable and evil in Taniser, which is inexplicable, just hanging above his perfect appearance Sometimes he felt that it was just his own illusion.

Just by chance, the sudden enthusiasm that shot out from those ethereal silver-gray eyes definitely did not belong to an ordinary priest.

Samuel had passed word that all stay together.As soon as they noticed something unusual in the sky, they immediately smeared the foul-smelling juice they collected last night on their bodies.Each of them held a bottle of that liquid in their hands, and a little word about the great monster in the sky had leaked out, and people were panicked.At this moment, all the non-humans received slight electric shocks on their necks, and at the same time, the voice of the chief guard sounded from the communicator in their ears, "We have landed and are now coming to Base 18, ready to give us open the door."

Ethan ordered Gina to turn on all the cameras on the base facing the outside world.The scene of the red field was reflected on the clean and white walls of the hall, and even the images of those red herbs were projected on the floor, making them feel like they were outside.In the distance in the wilderness, there was another saucer-shaped spaceship next to their original small spaceship, and a dozen small dots were coming towards them.Since Derek hasn't repaired the communication system, he can't see their appearance clearly, but it is almost certain that they are the soldiers and the chief of guard who is responsible for guarding non-human beings.

Ethan was about to order Gina to open the door, but at this moment someone held him down on his shoulder.He looked back, but Tanisel came behind him at some point.

"listen."

Ethan saw that kind of excited flash in his eyes again, and he had an ominous premonition.He listened intently, and finally noticed the subtle sound disturbed in the range of infrasonic waves, which was as imperceptible as the uninterrupted tinnitus in the bottom of the ear.But the voice was getting stronger little by little, and gradually made him feel a little dizzy.

It was as if something was getting closer.

He couldn't tell where the sound was coming from, it was coming from all directions, seeping from every molecule of the air, from the ground beneath their feet.In an instant, a series of strange images suddenly flashed through his consciousness.

The huge city lost in ancient times, the strange sharp-edged buildings that do not belong to any planetary style, and the huge black shadow that slowly drifts past in the blood-red sky, and the dark green creatures in the city scattered and fled wherever they passed.In a huge swamp, countless frog-like creatures stretched out their hands towards the sky, welcoming something with a shrill, ecstatic sound.They chanted the repeated syllable: ah-ga-ha-shha-bub-ga-neh-gahha-sa.

These inexplicable intrusion images chilled Ethan to the marrow. The huge stone walls that stretched to the sky at impossible angles were full of evil symbols. He saw the limbs of those green men bulging and tattered, and green blood flowing in the streets. , flowing like a river, flowing into the giant tearing mouth in the distant sky...

He let out a low cry and covered his ears with his hands.The other non-humans obviously heard it too. Many non-humans with weaker willpower had already collapsed to the ground, and the rest covered their ears one after another. Even those as strong as Samuel looked around in horror, their shoulders shrank involuntarily.Only Chen Zeng remained surprisingly calm, although a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

As for Tanithel, his perception ability is several times that of human beings. At this moment, he has no expression of fear, but a look of joy on his face. His gray eyes, which were originally ethereal, seem to have fallen into some kind of intoxicated state at this moment. In the dream.Ethan heard him murmuring, "Sabnir...the great genital goddess..."

Almost at the same time as those invading images went out, the sky in all directions suddenly began to dim rapidly.The red seemed to be absorbed by something, and clusters of black quickly penetrated and spread out.On the distant horizon, there is a huge black mass surging behind the silhouette of the mountains, as if it is about to erupt at any time.

Samuel Ottodrick and others shouted almost simultaneously, "It's started! It's started! Put it on!!"

Ethan immediately opened the cap of the bottle in his hand, and the strong smell of carrion made him unable to open his eyes.He took off his glasses, poured the liquid from the bottle into the palm of his hand, and applied it to his face and body.The oily liquid was sticky and slippery, dripping all over his body, and instantly his whole body stinks like a corpse that has rotted for more than a month.

Others who were more straightforward picked up a bucket and poured it over their heads, while some who couldn't react just stayed where they were.I saw Chen Zeng holding a bucket of black liquid in one hand, and throwing his hand over when he saw something stupid. This behavior was very efficient, and at the same time, it made the whole hall a mess.

Ethan looked back and saw that Tanisel hadn't made a move yet, so he quickly picked up a bucket of unused black liquid, imitating Chen Zeng, and smeared it on the priest's face.For a moment, the priest seemed to be drenched in ink from head to toe. His body froze, and after a while, he slowly raised his hand and wiped his face, revealing a pair of eyes that had returned to their usual appearance, and stared at Ethan angrily, "You ..."

Ethan looked proudly at the glamorous priest with dirty water that stinks worse than poop, and finally felt that he had avenged his previous revenge in the sample analysis room. He was so happy that he wanted to laugh.But reason told him that firstly they were dying now, and secondly the priest seemed to be angry, so it was not a good time to laugh anyway.He endured it, dropped the bucket and muttered, "Who made you look dumb all the time."

At this moment, the entire sky has quickly dimmed.Accompanied by the ear-piercing long chirping sound, the constantly surging black thing burst into the air like magma erupting from a volcano, rolling and wriggling across the entire sky.

Now they finally know what was in that video.

It wasn't dark clouds that covered the sky, but something solid, like a lump of flesh.It has no fixed shape, some places are jelly like jelly, gurgling softly, and other places are very hard and dry, with traces of cracks.Some sarcomas continued to protrude and then shrunk back. There was some faint red light inside through the black and gray skin, and the spreading network of black blood vessels spread all the way to the sky with some kind of vibrant pulsation.

At this time, the mother ship in the distant earth orbit also observed that a mass of black matter was rapidly spreading on the surface of the red earth. The speed had broken the laws of physics, and the formation seemed to envelop the entire planet.The experts in the mother ship all opened their mouths, unable to believe what they saw with their own eyes.

It... seemed to appear suddenly from the surface of the red earth. At that moment, the magnetic field of the red earth was disturbed, and a strong earthquake occurred locally.Then the thing seemed to squeeze out from a non-existent point near the surface.

It's not that people naturally can't see this, they just stare dumbfounded at the vast sky above their heads being completely covered within a few minutes, and Hera's red light is completely blocked, except for the red light transmission between those huge tumors in the sky , only the headlights built around the base are illuminating.At this time, at the edge of the light of the headlights, they saw someone running towards the No. 18 pioneer base.

It's the reinforcements!

They were yelling, and they were running so fast that it didn't seem like the speed humans and Eves could reach, and they turned their heads while running.

Are they running for their lives and something is chasing them?

Ethan's eyes widened, and he saw a black strip-shaped object suddenly protruding from behind the last soldier, hooking his waist.The next moment, before the soldier could even make a sound, he was pulled into the endless darkness behind him.
