Chapter 257 Storm is Coming
In the base, a quarrel has just come to an end.
The couple, Shaw and Holloway, fell silent.
As scientists and explorers of the ancient origins of mankind, they are different.
Shaw prefers to simply explore the unknown.
But after Holloway discovered that humans might really have a creator, he always wanted to see the creator with his own eyes.
He wanted to know how great and glorious the Creator was, who created human beings and was constantly praised by ancient civilizations.
But what did he see?
He saw crazy monsters that looked like the Creator, invulnerable monsters with distorted shapes, and they attacked humans.
This shouldn't be the Creator, the creator of mankind!
At this moment, he was like a child who realized for the first time that society was not as beautiful as fairy tales.
A certain belief that I held in my heart collapsed.
Plus the aggressiveness of the black water lurking in the body.
When Xiao tried to comfort him, he turned around and mocked Xiao, mocking her religious beliefs and her mother who died young.
So right now, the atmosphere in the room was as stiff as an iron railing in winter, cold, hard, and sticky.
Holloway reacted immediately after he said the hurtful words.
He rubbed his face and said quickly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that... I meant, damn it! I just lost my mind!"
After they finished speaking, the two of them stared at each other in silence for a long time.
Anger and confusion eventually dissipated in mutual tolerance and understanding.
Then, the two of them seriously discussed the important topic of life reproduction in the warm and comfortable room in the aircraft.
Just across the distance of a glass window is an alien land plunged into endless darkness.
In this strange and vast darkness, they fell asleep in each other's arms.
But they obviously did not expect that during this small-scale topic discussion, there would be a hidden third party who came to learn from them.
The next morning, when they both woke up, they both had unusual reactions.
Xiao just felt a slight stomach discomfort, but Holloway felt a splitting headache and was extremely tired.
He walked into the bathroom, looked at his haggard face in the mirror, and frowned in confusion.
Was he sick?
After returning to his room and taking a cold medicine, he and Xiao got off the aircraft and started a new day's work.
As yesterday's exploration experience was too thrilling, all exploration activities today have been suspended.
Everyone was either busy building the base or studying the fragments of the white giant's body that were brought back.
Xiao was naturally curious about those monstrous white giants, so he went to the Biological Research Institute to watch.
Feeling unwell, Holloway decided to take a walk outside, hoping that he would feel better.
But the "third party" in his body obviously didn't buy it.
After only a quarter of an hour of walking, his headache became increasingly severe.
The colonists working around him could clearly see that he was different.
Extremely pale face, bloodshot eyes, and a shaking posture.
They could even vaguely smell a strange scent from him, a scent that made their biological instincts feel uneasy.
Everyone immediately surrounded Holloway, and when the first person reached out to hold him up, his legs went weak and he almost fell down.
"What kind of illness is this?"
"Send a doctor!"
He was held by the crowd and walked towards the temporary hospital.
At this time, someone also informed Xiao, and she immediately ran out of the Biological Research Institute.
When she saw her boyfriend's condition, she took a breath and said, "Hurry, call a doctor!"
"etc!"
"Don't!"
At this moment, several messy footsteps and shouts came from behind her.
Several biologists and medical scientists who were originally studying the corpses of the white giants and black water creatures all ran away from the research institute.
They shouted:
"He may have been infected by some substance from this planet!"
"He must be isolated and taken away from the base!"
"We have discovered that there is a parasitic substance on this planet that can induce deformation of living organisms!"
When the people who were originally supporting Holloway heard that he might have been infected by the substances of this planet, they were so scared that they let go.
They still haven't forgotten the scene two days ago where the monster parasitized the human body and broke out of the body.
"No! You can't do this!" Xiao rushed forward to support her boyfriend, "Leaving him outside is just like sending him to his death!"
Then, just as she finished her words, there was a sound of "ripping", and black blood splashed all over her face.
"…"
She raised her head a little stiffly, and what she saw was Holloway's head, which was rapidly swelling and deforming.
Streams of black blood continued to spurt out from his facial features.
The people around her quickly pulled her away.
Everyone looked at Holloway in silence.
Deformation was happening rapidly to him, with abnormal lumps appearing all over his body and small amounts of exoskeletons appearing on his body surface.
He opened his bloodshot eyes wide and looked around, but his brain was as slow as a broken gear and he couldn't realize what was happening.
"Why are you so far away from me... Xiao... Elizabeth..."
This old and dilapidated water pipe would rapidly spurt out black sewage from all directions the moment the water valve was turned on.
Seeing this, everyone came back to their senses and stepped back abruptly.
At the same time, the army arrived.
"Wow!"
The flames roared and surged out, engulfing the trembling figure standing there.
Everyone was silent for a long time as the flames crackled and purified the filth.
Finally, Xiao's faint murmur broke the silence:
"No..."
Her distraught figure was seen by the eyes from above.
David stood by the window of the laboratory, staring at the group of panicked people on the plain, then looked away.
He lowered his head to look at the test tube in his hand, and shook his wrist slightly, causing the black liquid in the test tube to shake.
"Hiss..." A childish hiss came from the front.
He was awakened from his silent thoughts and looked up.
Transparent cylindrical containers are neatly arranged in the laboratory.
Some of them contain oval black egg-shaped substances, while others contain only a pool of gray-black liquid.
And in the container that makes the cry, there is a living black water creature!
"The transformation speed is extremely fast. When the transformation is completed, the host dies." David muttered to himself.
"Absorbing the beneficial genes of the host, constantly improving itself, a perfect organism."
...Blackwater is truly the predecessor of the Alien, which is hailed as a "perfect organism."
In the jungle, You Huan, who had just woken up from a deep sleep, was also feeling emotional.
The genes of the two black water creatures have been completely integrated into his own genes.
He absorbed and assimilated the physical features of the alien bird-like creatures and the hydraulic muscles of the alien beetles.
With a "swish", he spread his sickle wings.
The light from the stars cast shadows on the ground, creating an unusual appearance.
After stretching, he paused slightly.
An extremely strange and extremely strong sense of homology suddenly appeared.
It came from the direction of the human base. It seems that a remarkable and special black water life form was born there.
At the same time, he could hear the restless feeling of a large number of black water life gathering from the direction of the abandoned spacecraft.
It seems like they also want to do something big.
It seems that today is destined to be an extraordinary day...
At the same time, outside the planet——
"Hey, I picked a random world and actually caught you 'illegal travelers'. Looks like today is my lucky day."
Inside a spacecraft that looked no different from a human spacecraft, a strange sound filled with joy was echoing.
The passage, which was filled with a fantasy color that could not be fully described in words, was completely broken with the sound of a footstep.
At one end of the passage, a group of strange-looking creatures were huddled in the cab.
They enslaved millions of slaves and called the wind and rain in their own world, but when they heard that voice, they couldn't stop trembling, and a pink-purple mist similar to sweat continuously seeped out of the pores all over their bodies.
"Hurry, find the nearest planet. There's still a chance!"
"Ha, really? Do you still have a chance of survival?"
"Buzz——"
In the universe, the spacecraft suddenly exploded violently, and then flew crookedly towards the nearest planet.
And its landing point is exactly the planet where You Huan, the white giant and the human colonists are located——
Heaven Star.
