Chapter 173
The "Queen" fought a battle with vampire aliens here.
Although the "Queen" had the upper hand, she could not prevent the other party from escaping.
"Even the Queen can't kill this vampire alien?"
Helen asked in surprise.
Peter told her: "The evolved aliens have the ability to fly, are faster, and have stronger self-healing capabilities. The direction of evolution of the 'Queen' is not in frontal combat, but mainly in camouflage and charm."
Hearing Peter say the word "charm", Helen felt that Peter was secretly feeling weird again.
"and"
Peter, who didn't know Helen was complaining about him in her heart, said to the two of them: "It seems that the vampire alien seems to have sensed my approaching aura, so it didn't fight and ran away."
He stroked the "Queen's" head close to his chest with his hand, "They seem to be avoiding me."
"Do you scare them?"
Helen asked him.
"Yeah, I'm scared now and we need to get out of here."
Said a black mutant among Tony Stark's group.
The black mutant's name is Tucker, and his ability is skin hardening.
But at this time, his skin, especially the skin on his back, was dripping with blood.
They had suffered a lot from dealing with those flying vampire aliens just now.
These monsters are not only powerful, but also move extremely fast.
Their combat intelligence level also seems to far exceed that of ordinary creatures.
After initially attacking his group, the monster retreats back into the darkness.
They know how to use darkness to camouflage themselves, are patient enough to wait for the right moment, know how to avoid risks, and are good at taking advantage of their mobility.
These characteristics allow these monsters to severely injure people like themselves.
Tucker watched with his own eyes as a fellow mutant had his head crushed by the opponent's claws.
If he didn't have the ability to have hard skin, he might have been scratched in the heart by the alien that jumped out.
"No, no, we have to find Helen and Anna."
Tony wrapped his injured arm with a bandage and hammered the wall with his left hand, "Of course, there is also the escaped Danvers, if he hasn't been eaten yet."
Tony Stark did not expect that things would develop to this point.
Although he had the idea of retreating, there was no way to call for help now.
Communication could not be reached outside, and there was no way to call for rescue.
Rather than make a demoralizing decision like retreat, it is better to continue moving forward.
Tony thought as he turned his attention to Vampire, Blade Runner and Werewolf.
Now protected by three superhuman beings, safety is guaranteed to a certain extent.
Of course, the guy whose head was crushed might be a bit unlucky.
"You know this creature, right?"
The Blade Warrior inserted the silver sword into the scabbard behind his back and asked the Vampire Queen.
After hearing his question, everyone turned their attention to the Vampire Queen.
"Yes, I have seen the horror of this dark creature."
The Vampire Queen looked solemn, "On the spaceship I took to the earth, I fought against this kind of creature. The creature Helen called it 'alien'."
"Are they from outer space like you?"
The vampire girl shook her head, "I don't know, but there is a high possibility."
She told everyone: "Their eggs were dormant in that ship. In the bodies of the crew, these facehuggers were successfully injected into the crew of the ship. After a period of time, they successfully developed into larvae."
"Then these alien larvae, after breaking out of their bodies, learned how to hide and seek, and happily molted and developed into adults, so my hunting with them began."
Tony stood up, ignoring the pain of the damn wound on his hand, and asked the Vampire Queen: "So you have defeated them?"
He began to feel confident.
"If I weren't an immortal vampire, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that simple."
The vampire girl's expression didn't show any optimism.
“After discovering the dead crew members in the hibernation pod, I met them in the ventilation ducts where these alien stalkers hid.
When we were about to arrive at the Earth, during the time when we used the lifeboat to release them, they were so elusive that they hid in the lifeboat first. Finally, I used the pressure difference to eject the stalkers out of the spacecraft. "
She added, "Of course I don't know how to operate it, I just did it by mistake."
"What happens after that?"
Tony asked her with a frown.
"After that I arrived on Earth."
The Vampire Queen cast her sights on Blade Warrior and said, "But those aliens are very different from the ones now."
"What are the differences?"
After the Vampire Queen pondered for a while, she said: "Those aliens are of average size, neither fast nor slow, their mobility is not outstanding compared to what we encountered, and their strength is mediocre, but their whereabouts are mysterious and difficult to detect. The most important thing is”
After a pause, she said:
"Their intelligence seems to be constantly evolving. They didn't know how to use machinery at first, but then during the battle, they learned to use equipment."
After hearing this, Tony thought for a while and asked the Vampire Queen: "What is their reproductive method?"
"I guess they have two coexisting reproductive methods - individual infection and egg laying. Although the reproductive methods seen now are egg laying, the possibility of infection cannot be ruled out."
The Vampire Queen revealed her guess, and Tony, who was bandaging the wound, suddenly felt bad.
The vampire girl then said: "Although the killing performance of these aliens in the spaceship is not as eye-catching as it is now, with their unique types and infection skills, once they are released, they will bring endless nightmares to mankind."
When several people heard this, they were all quiet and didn't speak, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly depressing.
Where everyone is, the rectangular frame pattern with dots on the mural is an inscription written in some unknown ancient language and script.
The carvings below are two inches deep into the wall. There are still traces of coloring in some places, but most of the paint has peeled off and disappeared over the long years.
When the mutant Tucker looked at these carvings, he felt a thrill of horror. He seemed to see something approaching him, which made his endless fear invade his nerves.
The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a swelling feeling in his chest invaded his whole body.
My head was dizzy and my consciousness began to become a little blurry.
It seems like something is coming out! "
"Cough cough cough!"
He covered his chest with his hands and coughed violently, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
