Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 706 "Nuclear Organisms"

"This is impossible...Even if it is an SP-type mutant, the active ammunition cannot be completely ineffective!" Aya's face was full of puzzlement and surprise, "Could it be that this monster...isn't the Seed of Corrosion?"

"Be careful." Ke Lan's expression suddenly became serious, holding guns with both hands, and the front sight closely followed the "corpse" stumbling around in the corridor.

Not only Ke Lan, but also many military soldiers and security agents who have had contact with the Seed of Corrosion... and even armed personnel of some civil organizations have gradually begun to feel that this kind of attack was completely helpless when it first appeared. It seems that the terrifying monster is not so scary now... In the eyes of these people, the Seed of Corrosion is no longer an invincible monster, but a biochemical weapon manufactured by the Alpha civilization and abused by heretical sects.

Even in the eyes of some veterans, the Seed of Corrosion is just a beast with a relatively strong combat effectiveness...

But this kind of cognition is based on the premise that human beings have perfect restraint on the Seed of Corrosion.Whether it is the living cells extracted from the flesh-eating worms or the stalagmites brought back by Ke Lan from the underwater caves of Wuming Island, they can easily kill these monsters... This is like a tiger with only crude stone tools in its hands. They will be afraid of it, but for modern people with advanced automatic firearms, killing this tiger is just a matter of gently pulling the trigger... just don't let the tiger get close, no matter how fast it moves No matter how sharp the minions are, they cannot pose any threat to humans.

Another point is that with the deepening of the research on the Seed of Corrosion, people know more and more about this biological weapon. The biggest source of fear is the unknown... Without knowing anything, a A mouse that only hides in the dark and whose whereabouts cannot be traced can bring people far more fear than a poisonous snake exposed to a bright light source.

But if one day, the monsters already known to mankind mutate, and those restraint methods that could easily kill it are no longer effective, then everything will return to the original point of origin.

Just imagine, smallpox broke out again in the human world. Human beings use vaccines to fight against it according to the method thousands of years ago, but they are horrified to find that people who have been vaccinated cannot obtain the slightest immunity... When the building built by experience When it collapsed suddenly, all that was left to the people was helplessness and panic.

At this moment, the manipulative body suddenly staggered and jumped onto the body of another guard. After the wriggling tentacles were removed from the other body, they immediately went crazy like a shark smelling blood. He jumped up and started eating...

The process of these tentacles eating could not help but make Ke Lan and Aya feel their scalps tingling—the tentacles of the tentacles first split into many tiny tentacles, and then these tentacles penetrated the skin of the corpse like steel needles and penetrated deep into the body. To the flesh and blood.

Immediately afterwards, a highly corrosive digestive juice was secreted from the surface of these small tentacles, turning the flesh and blood of the corpse into balls of purplish pus, which were finally absorbed by the tentacles and the mucous membrane on the surface of the tentacles.

In the blink of an eye, one arm of the corpse was "swallowed" by these tentacles, and there was not even a skeleton left.

"It's...eating?" Aya said with some uncertainty, "Is it because the original 'container' didn't provide enough nutrients?"

"I don't know." Ke Lan shook his head.

"If the special weapons and active ammunition in your hands can't work on it...does it mean that we can't kill it at all?" Aya's eyes showed a hint of unwillingness.

"That's not necessarily... maybe it's a mutant that we've never discovered before." Ke Lan said in a low voice, "When Akira Asano killed it just now, it may have triggered some kind of stress effect, making it It produces an 'antibody' that can resist the active cells of flesh-eating worms... But if it is still a seed of erosion, I think the active cells are still toxic to it, it's just a matter of the dose."

"I still have 260 units of active bullets left...do you want to try it?" Aya asked.

"Don't worry... Find a way to find out the position of the 'core' of this mutant... Directly shooting the active bullet into the 'core' will definitely have a better effect than hitting those tentacles."

"That's right." Aya nodded, "But how can you find the location of its 'core'...Could it be possible to cut it open with a knife?"

Having said that, Aya couldn't help but look at Akira Asano who was on guard with a knife.

Aya knew Asano Akira's strength. She even suspected that this handsome and frail man had the ability to single out SP mutants.

"Can you hear it?" Ke Lan also looked at Akira Asano, "The 'core' of the Seed of Corrosion is equivalent to the heart of a human being. Although there will not be such an obvious vigorous beating sound, the nutrients it absorbs from the outside will be Gather in the 'nucleus'...especially in the 'feeding' state, you just need to find the highest density in this guy's body..."

Asano Akira's special ability can not only be used as human radar and sonar, but also can be used as a substitute for B-ultrasound or even MRI.

However, Akira Asano shook his head slowly, and said, "I... didn't find it. The density of all parts of its body is almost the same... The blood flow absorbed by the tentacle mucous membrane is flowing all over its body... ..."

"The density is the same? The whole body flows?" After hearing this result, Ke Lan couldn't help being stunned for a moment... Could it be that... there is no "core" in the body of this erosion seed?

After the death of the host, no matter whether the seed of erosion in its body is fully developed or not, it will quickly change from the parasitic stage to the blast stage, and the seed of erosion in the blast stage and mature stage, as an independent living entity, must exist in the body "nuclear".

Perhaps some of the seeds of erosion will remain in the "container" after entering the mature stage due to the need for camouflage, and continue to maintain a "symbiotic" relationship, but there will never be any seeds of erosion that will remain in the "container" after the death of the "container". It does not enter the "blast phase" for a long time - if it fails to condense a 'nucleus' within 15 minutes, then it is equivalent to a fetus that died during childbirth, and will die along with the "container".

This probability is very low, at least there are no more than five cases recorded in the files of the Security Bureau... From a certain point of view, the seed of erosion cannot enter the blast phase from the parasitic stage, and its probability is even higher than that of pregnant women in this era. The probability is still small.
