I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 2 Female Apostle

Lin Zhong turned around alertly, aimed his gun at the only entrance to the stone chamber, leaned down and put the flashlight back on the ground, while quickly looking for cover.

They fought in this grotto not long ago. The explosions that occurred during the battle left the scene in a mess. Several piles of rubble were blown out near the rock wall.

Lin Zhong quietly moved behind a small pile of gravel.He shrunk up, holding the gun tightly in his hand. With his other hand, he detached the camera connected to his helmet, stretched it to the side of the bunker, pointed it at the entrance, and used it as a looking glass.

On the interface inside the mask, a small window appeared in the upper right corner, which displayed the camera's surveillance screen.

Soon, a figure walked into the stone room.

Although he had already made considerable mental preparations, Lin was still surprised.

Through the outline of the other party's body, Lin finally discovered that the person who came in was actually a woman.

She had disheveled hair and was not wearing protective clothing. Her body was covered with a thin layer of blood-red skin, which looked a bit like a rubber tights, but the skin had a texture similar to an animal carapace, as if it was growing on her skin. .

What is even more jaw-dropping is that there are six slender, tentacle-like limbs dragging behind her, and the end tissues of each limb are different:
One is connected to a pair of pliers, one is connected to a sharp blade, one is connected to several fingers, one has only a hollow mouth at the end, one has many tentacles branching out like a brush, and another has an end Similar to a scorpion's tail, it has a spherical protrusion that looks like it stores liquid, with a needle-like spike growing on it, which makes it feel a bit like a syringe.

Behind this woman was dragging a whole set of tools.

Prosthetics transform people?Or the undiscovered Abyssal Families?
Lin Zhong was unsure, so he reached out to the side of the helmet and turned on the remote detector.

The prompt "Do not let the target leave the field of vision during detection" was displayed in the corner of the interface on the inside of the mask. After a few seconds of waiting, the communication headset built into the helmet began to play a warning sound that only he could hear: "Apostle's reaction! Apostle's reaction!"

At the same time, on the interface of the mask, the outline of the "woman"'s body was painted with a striking red circle.

A highly humanoid apostle?
The warning was repeated over and over again, and Lin Zhong's heart plummeted.

"Fuck it." He could only curse in his mind.

This is indeed the apostle's lair, but the owner of the lair has been killed by Lin Zhong and the others, and the body should have been taken away by Xu Zhongyi and the female mercenary.

Even in this deep polluted area, apostle-level ancient god's descendants are quite rare, and he was able to encounter two of them in succession.

Apostles often have weird and terrifying special abilities. Lin Zhong has personally seen apostles who can flatten armored vehicles like empty cans. He has also seen apostles whose heads were chopped off, or who had a third of their bodies blown to pieces and still grew from the wounds. The apostle who stitched himself together with bloodshot threads.

What ability does this apostle have?Lin Zhong didn't know clearly, but he knew that unknown things were always the most fearful.

The only equipment he has at hand is two "Starlight" pistols. These little guns are enough to kill adult-sized abyssal creatures. Killing an apostle with them is like trying to kill an elephant with an embroidery needle.

Shooting is tantamount to courting death. The only hope is to wait for this guy to leave and then sneak out of the lair quietly.

The apostle walked over and looked at the empty eggs, then glanced at the missing equipment on the ground, thoughtfully.

Looking for me - Lin Zhong immediately thought.

This apostle seems to at least know that there was something inside here. Could it be that she was the one who turned herself into this?

Just when he had this idea, the apostle suddenly raised the tentacle that branched out like a brush and turned it in various directions.

Lin Zhi's scalp began to feel numb again. It seemed that the tentacles had special senses. For example, they could detect temperature by sensing infrared rays, or they could capture odor molecules.

He tried to think hard, but he had no solution.

Suddenly, the other party's voice floated over: "What are you hiding there? Come out."

The sound almost made Lin Zhongxin's heart stop. Compared with the fear of being discovered by the other party, he was more shocked that the other party could actually speak human language.

According to the information provided by the Exploration Association, apostle-level abyssal creatures have the intelligence level to understand and use language, but there are almost no cases of apostles and humans communicating with each other.

Like all other creatures of the Abyss, Apostles are deeply hostile to humans and will attack humans upon discovery.

Lin Zhong was still thinking seriously about whether these words were used to lure him to show up as soon as possible. The tentacle suddenly extended greatly and rushed over at lightning speed. The next moment Lin Zhong saw the small window in the corner of the display interface completely Blackened.

At the same time, he also saw that the tentacle had wrapped around his hand, covering his entire hand and the camera he was holding.

The gloves of the protective clothing have the function of transmitting touch and temperature. Lin finally felt the warm and slippery touch.

The tension reached the extreme, and he reflexively raised his gun to aim. The tentacle seemed to catch his movements, suddenly let go of his left hand, and swooped towards his gun-holding right hand again like a predatory cobra, still at an alarmingly fast speed. .

Lin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but the world in his eyes slowed down at this time.

First of all, the speed of the tentacles ejecting in this direction becomes extremely slow.

Secondly, the camera that Lin Zhong had just released should have fallen directly to the ground, but it was also in Lin Zhong's field of vision and almost stopped in mid-air.

It seemed that Lin Zhong was the only one in the world who could still move at normal speed. If this continued, he could shoot the tentacles first.

However, at this moment, he was caught off guard and felt his heart twitch suddenly. Severe pain spread throughout his body, making his movements sluggish and he almost lost his hand with the pistol.

The whole world returned to normal speed again, and the tentacles swept away the gun in Lin Zhong's hand with lightning speed, and retracted to its master in the blink of an eye.

"Come out." The apostle's cold voice came again.

Lin Zhi held his chest and finally recovered from the labor pain.

Just... what happened?

Whether it was the brief wonderful feeling just now or the inexplicable pain, he was confused.

Now is not the time to think about that, though.

"Come out, I say the last time." The apostle repeated the request.

Lin finally understood that there was no point in continuing to hide. He got up and emerged from behind the rubble.

The apostle stood where he was, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, his sharp eyes fixed on him.

Just looking at this face, Lin Zhong only felt that he was facing an unhappy woman. The corners of her mouth were curled, her slender willow eyebrows were tightly pressed, her cold eyes were sharp, and her expression revealed the connection between human beings. emotion.

For some reason, Lin Zhong felt that this face looked a little familiar.

He had never seen an apostle like this before. There were far more human parts than monster parts, but it was this inhuman-like appearance that gave people a strange and strange impression.

Lin Zhong had confronted all kinds of extremely hideous and terrifying abyssal creatures in the polluted area, and he had never felt such pressure like today.

Even at this point, Lin finally did not give up the possibility of escape. He still had a pistol picked up from Asheng on his waist.This gun probably won't kill the apostle in front of him, but it may not have the chance to injure him and create a gap for him to escape.

The apostle opposite vaguely understood his intention, and suddenly sighed from his nose.

Immediately afterwards, the apostle made a move that stunned Lin Zhong: she reached out and took out the pistol she had snatched from Lin Zhong from her tentacles, and then with lightning speed, she put the muzzle of the gun to her temple and fired a shot. .

The gunshot rang out, and the bullet penetrated into her right temple, flew from the corner of her forehead above her left eye, and left a wound as big as a coin.Her head suddenly drooped to the left as if someone had hit her hard with a stick.
