Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 379 The Wall of Flesh

(The chapter number of this chapter is wrong, it should be Chapter 373, not Chapter 337, but the chapter name cannot be changed, and it will not affect the reading anyway... The next chapter will be calculated according to Chapter 374.)
After Ke Lan thought about it, there were only two possibilities——

The first possibility:
The "great god" in the mouth of the priest and the servants of the gods was transformed from a highly mutated human being... Of course, there may be more than one person... The changes that have taken place in him or them have already surpassed the conventional The scope of variation, so that the final product has completely become a brand new species.

This is beyond the current level of human technology to explain, but it happened.

The second possibility:
The "Great God" was born out of an indigenous creature hidden in an abandoned laboratory. It was once used as a research object and underwent various experiments. These experiments more or less contributed to its current state... here In the long time span of decades, it has experienced countless random mutations, it has continued to evolve, and it survived in the end.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the first possibility and the second possibility occur at the same time - human beings and monsters merge with each other, mutation and evolution are intertwined... It's just that compared to the first two possibilities, the probability of the third possibility is higher Low.

If the first possibility and the second possibility are likened to the first prizes of Shuangchrome Ball and Big Lotto, then the third possibility is equivalent to buying Shuangchrome Ball at a lottery shop, and then going to the next intersection. A lottery shop bought another big lottery, and the result was drawn a few days later, and both of them won the special prize.

This analogy may not be appropriate enough, because evolution of this level requires at least [-] mutations, and each mutation is a near-death situation-this is like a gal game on hell difficulty, every time Most of the options are wrong, and if any one of the tens of thousands of choices is selected to the wrong option, it will directly enter the "bad end".

For individual organisms, the so-called "bad end" is naturally a complete extinction from this world.

If in the laboratory, the direction of mutation is still controllable to a certain extent, after the space station is abandoned, it can completely "let nature take its course"... If this "great god" really If he evolved from human beings, then he is definitely a chosen person who rolls the dice tens of thousands of times and gets "six" every time.

"If you say that there is no lead in the dice, ghosts will believe it..." Ke Lan couldn't help complaining in his heart, and continued to follow the servant of God and others.

……

Although he had already prepared himself, Ke Lan was still deeply shocked when he saw the real body of the "Great God"-this is a wall of flesh and blood 150 meters high. The ground extends all the way to the top wall of the space station, completely separating areas E and F.

On this wall, there are dozens of huge eyeballs with a diameter of four to five meters embedded. These eyeballs are even more exaggerated than the big eyeball he saw in the ice passage of the glacier ruins. At the time of the Wall of Flesh, these huge eyeballs turned quickly... almost two-thirds of the eyeballs focused on Ke Lan, even though Ke Lan was used to seeing weird things and was surrounded by so many people. With the huge eyeballs fixed on him, he still felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

In addition to these huge eyeballs, in the middle of the wall of flesh and blood, there is also a huge mouth that is constantly moving in a small way. From Ke Lan's perspective, the opening and closing of this huge mouth is like breathing. ...

And in front of the Wall of Flesh, the addictive aroma has become extremely strong.

"What you see is the body of the 'Great God'. He is the origin of the world and will also be the end of the world. It is the belief of all of us and the destination of all of us..." The servant of God stood at Ke Lan Less than ten steps away from him, it seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be introducing to him.

"Present the sacrifice." The servant said again.

In the previous "Sacrifice Ceremony", except for the missionary who was parasitized with a seed of erosion, a total of three people became "sacrifices of God" because of their defeat.

The miner who was unwilling to participate in the ceremony and was tortured; Ke Lan, the young woman who had to be silenced in order not to reveal her identity; plus the mutant who had brute force but didn't know any fighting skills... these three people His body was also brought here by the entourage of the servant of God.

The remaining third of the eyeballs on the Wall of Flesh are looking at these corpses wrapped in waterproof cloth at this moment, just like a diner checking whether the food on the table is fresh.

Those attendants carried the corpse to a place only ten meters away from the Wall of Flesh, and then the two of them worked together to throw the corpse towards the huge mouth of the Wall of Flesh.

The giant mouth of the Wall of Flesh is more than a dozen floors above the ground. Fortunately, the gravity here is so small that it can be ignored. The corpses flew up in a straight trajectory until they flew to the side of the giant mouth. Captured by the black shadow protruding from the giant mouth, both the black shadow and the corpse disappeared in the depths of the giant mouth in the blink of an eye.

But Ke Lan who turned on "Time Stop" still captured this brief frame. Those black shadows are actually a centipede-like fleshy tentacles. The whole tentacles protrude out of the giant mouth and can be observed There are 29 sections in total. If the corpse is used as a comparison object, the length of each section is about two meters. That is to say, the length of the entire tentacles can reach the servants of the gods standing on the ground.

From this point of view, this "great god" will not attack its "pious believers", but will only enjoy the sacrifices offered by these believers.

There are a total of four centipede-like tentacles sticking out of the huge mouth. Each of these tentacles is composed of well-developed ring-shaped muscles. The surface of the muscles is covered with transparent fascia, and under the fascia, it is covered with There are thick purple-blue blood vessels.

At the front of these tentacles, there are densely packed white fangs. The corpses thrown into the air were hooked by these fangs and dragged into the giant mouth.

As the "sacrifice" of the three corpses was completed, there was a sound of sticky flesh and blood wriggling inside the Wall of Flesh, which reminded Ke Lan of the gradual crushing of the flesh in the acid-filled stomach Broken, dissolving pictures...

"So...is the sacrifice completed?" Ke Lan asked softly.

"Yes." The servant of God replied, "The next step is to baptize you."

"Baptism?" Although the servant of God had mentioned this word before, Ke Lan had no idea what this "baptism" meant.

The word baptism comes from the initiation ceremony of Christianity. Its allusion comes from "John the Baptist" baptizing Jesus by the Jordan River in the New Testament. ceremony.

Christian baptisms are divided into two types: "sprinkling water" and "water immersion". One is that the officiant sprinkles water on the forehead of the baptized, and the other is to immerse the body of the baptized in the water, symbolizing After the baptism is completed, the baptized person officially becomes a Christian.

However, in the view of Ke Lan, who is an atheist, the so-called baptism is nothing more than sprinkling water on the forehead and taking a bath. He does not think that taking a bath can wash away the sins of a person-of course, the effect of cleaning the body is still Yes, if he could take a bath with clean water in this place, then he would most likely not refuse.

What is certain is that the "baptism ceremony" of the heretical sect—whether it is the heretical sect on the ground or the heretical sect in the "sick village", the "baptism" they talk about is definitely not the same thing as Christian baptism.

"How...how?"

"Dedicate a part of you to the 'Great God', in the process, He will bestow upon you God's blessing, that is the power from Him, and this power will be driven by you... This is what we, as an insignificant The supreme gift that the individual can obtain before returning to his body." said the servant of God.

"Sacrifice a part of me to the 'Great God'?" Ke Lan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, "This means... I want to be like those sacrifices just now..."

"Yes, but not all of them, just a small part. Your mission is not over yet, and it is too early to return to the body of the 'great god'."

"A small part? Which part?" Ke Lan couldn't help asking.

"The little finger of the right hand." The servant said.

It was only at this time that Ke Lan noticed that among the servants of the servants of God, all those whose right hands were exposed did not have the knuckle at the farthest end of their little fingers.

The places where their severed fingers had healed up long ago, looked bald, and there didn't seem to be any signs of gangrene or infection...

Ke Lan glanced at the little finger of his right hand. It has been less than two months since this finger regrown. Compared with the palm connected to it, the skin on the finger is slightly pinker. At the base of the finger, even A dividing line can also be seen looming.

"It's just grown, so I'm going to cut it off again?" Ke Lan thought in his heart, "Forget it, anyway, with the current self-healing ability, it won't take long for it to grow back, and it shouldn't be too long if I lose a finger. It has too much impact on its own combat power..."

He gritted his teeth, and then said to the servant of God: "...Is there a knife? Give me a knife... Uh, it's better to be sharper. If you have an axe, that's fine too."

"You don't need to do it yourself." The servant said, walking slowly behind Ke Lan and pushing him on the back.

"The 'Great God' will help you complete the baptism, and you will not feel any pain during the whole process."

The multiple of gravity here is lower than that of the residential area, Ke Lan floated up directly, and floated towards the huge mouth embedded in the wall of flesh and blood.

"Fuck!" Ke Lan couldn't help but greet the female family members of this servant of the gods in his heart. He waved his limbs in vain, but he couldn't use his strength in the floating state, so he could only look at this bloody basin Dakou kept zooming in on his field of vision.

This familiar scene really made Ke Lan a little helpless—not long ago, he also used similar means to kill a missionary of a heretic sect. Victim" position above.

"I hope... I hope this thing will only eat a piece of my finger..." Ke Lan reached into the hidden pocket inside his clothes, and held the handle of the pocket pistol—although The power of the pocket pistol is very small, and a bullet not much larger than a grain of rice can't do any effective damage to the Wall of Flesh, but it is a gunpowder weapon after all, and the recoil generated when shooting is enough to send Ke Lan towards the bullet. Push in the opposite direction of the shot.

If the wall of flesh and blood showed the slightest intention to swallow him whole, he would pull the trigger without hesitation—even if his identity would be exposed as a result.

If he was really swallowed by this thing, it would be too late to say anything by then.

The centipede-like tentacles had already protruded from the giant mouth, and compared to the previous movement when preying on the "sacrifice", the speed of the tentacles this time was significantly slower.

The tentacles moved to a place one meter away from Ke Lan and then stopped. At such a close distance, Ke Lan could clearly see the structure of the "teeth" at the front of the tentacles-these fangs were not straight, but with There is a certain arc, and on the inner side of the arc, there are extremely sharp blades. When the muscles at the front of the tentacles contract, these fangs will fit into each other, smashing the things they come into contact with.

Ke Lan tried to stretch his right hand forward, and just when his little finger was about to touch those fangs, a very thin meat tube protruded from the tentacles, and the sharp end like a needle quickly Di Kelan tapped on the back of his hand.

A numb feeling came from the back of his hand, and in the next second, Ke Lan felt that his entire right hand had lost consciousness.

"Anesthetics are injected before the amputation operation? ... Is this 'great god' so humane?" Ke Lan finally realized what the servant said, "You won't feel any pain during the whole process." ", not lying to him.

After this "anesthesia" injection, I really won't feel any pain...

[PPS I have experienced first-hand what misfortunes never come singly. I went out to buy a cone in Michelle Ice City in the afternoon, and just as I went downstairs, I stepped on a floor tile with an empty bottom and twisted my left foot.Then when I was typing at night, the tenosynovitis of the left wrist reappeared. From time to time, the root of the index finger and thumb under the radial styloid process and the tiger's mouth hurt a little. When it hurt, I couldn't lift the whole left hand, which made me write faster. It's a lot slower... I can't help but complain, why the injured are all on the left side, this is far from the big picture...

It's over, when I typed this line, the root of my right thumb also felt a little dull, and the feeling was that the crow's mouth took effect... I can only wait for a few towels to warm up before going to bed. 】
