Falling into the Abyss

When he hurried back, what he saw was a somewhat delicate scene.

Fifty non-people were either sitting or standing, most of them leaning against the wall, holding lighters in their hands, and the light of the flames faintly illuminated the six people facing them.And the leading earthman with a gun in his hand and a grim face, but with a bit of panic in his eyes was their chief of guard.

He has never known the name of this Asian-faced chief of guards. He only knows that he is a senior guard in charge of the Forbidden City area where he is. He is tall and unsmiling.

His appearance was rare and handsome among the guards.But at this moment, he was obviously very embarrassed. The marine uniform on his body was stained with a lot of the red herbs outside, and there was blood on his face, but he didn't know if it was his blood or someone else's.His face was covered with sweat, his breathing was rough, but his back was still straight.

And behind him, there are two soldiers from Earth and three soldiers from Eve.They were all clutching their weapons tightly, in a state of panic and panic.A human soldier had a large gash on his leg. It looked like something had bitten off a large piece of flesh, and blood was bubbling.

A team of more than a dozen well-trained special forces was reduced to six in the blink of an eye.

Where are the others?

Is it alive or dead?

If alive, how to live?Is it really dead?

The people on both sides fell into a strange silence, but within this silence was a raging sword and dark tide.As long as any party shows hostility at this time, I'm afraid they will start killing each other before the thing outside invades.

Ethan's forehead was sweating. If they were fighting among themselves at this time, they would probably be dead.

Samuel stood between the two parties, staring at the head of the guard, "Put down your weapons."

The head of the guard's gun was still pointed at the inhuman, and he was fully on guard, "Where's Priest Tanithel?!"

All the non-humans looked at each other in blank dismay. They only cared about themselves in the chaos just now, so who bothered to stare at that priest?And Ethan, the only one who knew where the priest was, weighed the current situation, and suddenly said, "He's safe now."

All inhuman eyes stared at him.He said so, on the one hand, the soldiers on the other side thought that they had controlled Tanisel, so that they did not dare to take action against non-humans easily.On the other hand, it can prevent these out-of-control non-humans from really doing anything to Tanithel.

Although he didn't know much about the priest, the other party didn't seem to be an easy person to deal with... But Tanithel was one of the people who helped him many times since he became an inhuman, and he seemed to have a high level in Eve Star. status, it would do him nothing but good to maintain a friendly relationship with him.

Sure enough, the head of the guard frowned slightly, and looked at Samuel hesitantly.The latter said, "We don't need to let you in if we want to rebel. Put down your arms!"

However, an earth soldier suddenly shouted, "Who will believe what you scum say! You should be outside! You human maggots, you will only waste food if you live!"

His words caused a burst of angry curses among the inhumans, and Jiawen said coldly, "I told you that you shouldn't let these lackeys of the government in! Drive them out!"

The two sides were arguing, and Ethan was staring at the guns in the hands of the soldiers, watching their black calibers shaking in excited body language, unable to tell when they would go off.He was so frightened that he couldn't bear it anymore, he finally clenched his fists, and roared with an angry face that didn't match his usual image at all, his voice suddenly overwhelmed the roar of a large group of people, "We're all going to fucking die together!" Why are you so noisy!!! Things outside are about to come in, can't you tell the priority!!! Do you have any fucking brains!!!"

Samuel was stunned for a moment, having never seen the always cowardly Beta look so fierce.Ethan just held back his breath, and regained the courage he used to teach his subordinates when he was the secretary of the Energy Bureau. After venting out, his momentum weakened again.However, his words successfully reminded everyone present that beyond the thin walls of the base was an entire planet in madness and terror.Compared with the huge piece of meat covering the entire sky, his own kind, whether they are inhuman or not, are much cuter.The chief of guards gritted his teeth and finally lowered the gun in his hand.Seeing his actions like this, the soldiers behind him still hesitated.But the soldiers of Eve star took the lead in putting away their weapons, and they had no choice but to stop reluctantly.

Seeing the soldiers backing down, the Alphas cursed a few times in a low voice, so they couldn't provoke them anymore.The head of the guard asked coldly, "What are you all wearing?"

Ethan was about to answer, but he heard Chen Zeng say, "You should also put this thing on, it is said that it can temporarily make us 'invisible' in the eyes of that thing in the sky—if that thing has eyes. That's why it hasn't hit here yet."

As soon as Samuel tilted his head, several of his followers brought the bottles and jars containing the rancid liquid to the soldiers.The chief guard looked at Samuel suspiciously, and finally bent down to pick up a bottle, unscrewed it and sniffed it, showing a disgusted expression.Still, he poured the liquid over himself and wiped his face with his hands.Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers also took the bottles one after another. Obviously, what they saw outside had already scared them out of their wits, and they couldn't care less about how disgusting the liquid was.

Ethan noticed the injured man and immediately asked, "How did he get injured?"

The two human soldiers immediately stared at Ethan suspiciously, but said nothing.Ethan saw that the other party was so wary and couldn't ask anything, but his heart became more and more worried...

He thought of Jeff.

He intuited that the strange insect had some kind of profound connection with the things in the sky, and if it was just stained with the strange insect's nipples, it would become like that... I can only hope that this person's wound was not bitten by something similar.

Samuel pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "Where's the priest?"

Ethan was murmuring, wondering if he should tell him, when suddenly the three Eves stood up, the third eye on their foreheads opened almost at the same time, and there was an unprecedented expression on their faces that was irritating just looking at it. Numb expression of extreme horror.

"Here...it's not clean here!" the Eves said in jerky Earth language. The next second, the third eyes of the three Eves suddenly looked in the same direction—the wall on the west side.

But there is nothing there?

A female Beta Eve pointed her finger at the wall, her voice and her finger trembling slightly, "It's inside...inside!"

All the people on the earth looked at the three Eves who suddenly raised their guns and kept retreating inexplicably. Their behavior at the moment was so different from the calmness just now that they couldn't figure it out at all.Just when everyone thought that Eve, who was known for her nagging, was losing her nerves again, Ethan suddenly thought of a question.

If you go around the corridor where he came just now, there are a few sample analysis rooms behind that wall and there is a medical warehouse.Close the medical cabin of Jeff whose life and death are unknown.

The medical warehouse should have been blocked by Gina, but the problem is, now Gina has stopped working.

Ethan looked around and grabbed Samuel, "Where's the crying Beta?"

Samuel was taken aback, looked around, but couldn't find it, "What's wrong?"

It seemed that in the darkness just now, it wasn't just him and the priest who took the opportunity to slip away, but also the mentally unstable female Beta.Before she disappeared, she kept murmuring and covering her ears, and no one knew what she was talking about.

If she was the first to perceive the power of the entropy god, would she also be the first to be controlled?

Ethan lowered his voice, and Samuel's face turned pale after only one word, "Jeff!"

Samuel hurriedly told Otto a few words, and ran to the medical warehouse with Ethan.The faint electric light in Ethan's hand swept across the darkness, but missed the metal door that was supposed to be tightly closed.The light moved down and a wrench was seen on the ground.The door locks here are all controlled by artificial intelligence Gina. When Gina fails, the originally set locking program also fails.Ethan and Samuel looked at each other, and both saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

There was dead darkness behind the door, and because the space was too large, the light from the flashlight seemed to be sucked into a black hole, and nothing could be seen.A gust of cold majesty slid across the skin of the neck, silent as a ghost, like a breath slowly exhaled by the darkness.

Ethan shook the flashlight a few times, and carefully shone on the ground ahead but didn't dare to take a step.Seeing him hesitating, Samuel took his flashlight and walked in first.Ethan followed you step by step, passing one after another isolation care bed, he suddenly felt that there were corpses lying in each coffin-like box.His gaze fell on an isolation hospital bed that seemed to have been bumped crookedly, leaving a few streaks of sticky yellow-white liquid on the transparent cover.Looking along the trace, there is also a similar snot-like sticky thing on the ground not far away, reflecting a disgusting blue light in the weak light.

With a thud in my heart, the most feared thing may still happen.

Samuel stopped abruptly, and his flashlight found the hospital bed they used to hold Jeff.The cover of the bed was open, and Jeff was gone, leaving only clumps of light brown human hair and bits of clothing.The mattress and cover were covered with yellow, white, and black mucus, and even dripped down the edge and foot of the bed.Ethan heard Samuel's rapid panting, and wanted to get a closer look, but suddenly tripped under his feet.He hurriedly grabbed the nearest bed to stabilize his figure, and at the same time heard a low voice.

When Samuel heard the movement, he immediately shone the beam of light in his hand over, and then Ethan saw clearly what was under his feet...

It's the missing female Beta.

Her face was gray, her eyes were wide open without blinking, covered with dense bumps similar to Jeff's, swollen like a floating corpse soaked in water for a week, you can find the thin bumps if you look closely Something was wriggling and throbbing under the skin.Her legs also became very strange, some mucus-like things seeped through the fabric, and even dissolved some of the fabric.The legs stuck together like batter, leaving wet marks on the ground.

Ethan screamed in fright and hurried back a few steps, his heart rate was so fast that it seemed to jump out of his chest.The soles of the feet are sticky, probably because they accidentally stepped on the unknown mucus secreted by that Beta just now.Thinking of how horrible the mucus would turn into if it touched his skin, he felt itchy all over his body and his heart jumped.

"It's really contagious..." Samuel was also startled, his face turned pale.No matter how many times I watch a good person turn into this disgusting look, I can't get used to it.He frowned and looked at Ethan opposite him, "Where did Jeff go? Is... alive or dead?"

Ethan thought of the flashing figure he saw on the side road when he walked from the central control room to the lobby.

He didn't dare to say whether Jeff was alive or dead, but he knew that he definitely wouldn't want to see the current Jeff.

"We've got to find him right away!" Samuel looked around as if he was being watched.This base is no longer safe, in fact, it was not safe from the beginning, but those thick walls and the rancid liquid on their bodies gave them the illusion of safety.

Ethan looked at Beta who didn't know whether he was alive or dead on the ground, "What should she do?"

Now there is no power and all the isolation systems are no longer safe.Ethan thought of the egg in the priest's hand, but Tanithel was using it... Maybe Tanithel could be persuaded to use the egg of the preface to activate Gina?

Samuel looked at the human figure that occasionally twitched and made strange noises on the ground, and suddenly took out the lighter. "You go to the door and wait for me."

Ethan probably guessed what he was going to do, and quickly turned around and ran out.Stumbling all the way in the dark, when he just arrived at the door, he suddenly heard a piercing scream, as if not just one person, but dozens of people at the same time made a hoarse hiss that could tear the eardrum sharp scream.A strange blue flame ignited in the darkness, and in the most dazzling flame, there was a huge black worm, not a human, wriggling and rolling.

Ethan suddenly understood why Tanithel didn't let him hurt the strange insect in the first place.Why after Jeff trampled the bug to death, Tanithel said to him, "Maybe you are just a bug too".

Could it be... not only countless strange worms are born from the body, but the person himself will eventually turn into that worm?How many of those who disappeared before have become worms?Where did those bugs go again?

The next moment Samuel rushed to him, grabbed him and ran away.Ethan's heart was numb, and problems continued to emerge one after another.His last thought was: Is that female Beta really dead?If he didn't die... wouldn't it be the same as being burned alive by Samuel?

And he... didn't even have any intention of stopping...
