The Death List Novel - Chapter 544
Chapter 544 Vicious Creature
There was no sound in the cosmic vacuum, but the shockwaves that followed blew away Bobby’s three companions and the creatures in the universe that were involved.
The storm passed in a flash, and a cloud of fog-like hallucinatory light appeared at Bobby’s original location. The center of the cloud was filled with a multicolored halo. The counter-clock slowly rotated, like a nebula that was not uncommon in the starry sky of the universe.
This was the main body of the wind element that appeared in the vacuum. The storm just now was a shockwave produced by Bobby spreading the biological particle state throughout the entire army.
As soon as the cloud-shaped Wind Elemental appeared, it flew towards the closest Dean Cloud. The Wind Elemental Cloud only swept past Dean’s soldiers, sticking to his dark green spider silk and directly escaping.
The moment Dean was rescued, the clouds formed by Bobby shrank sharply, and in an instant, he became a soldier again. Evidently, his abilities had reached their limits, and he couldn’t hold on any longer.
After returning to the armor, Bobby’s current appearance was a bit miserable. The armor plates and metal parts on the surface of the soldier had all fallen off, and his entire body was like a pile of rags. Dean was very alert. He reached out to grab Bobby’s men and sped in the direction of Robin and the others.
The cosmic creatures blown away by the shockwave quickly stabilized their bodies and pulled Frank and Sawa towards the meteorite belt. There were also a few other cosmic creatures rushing towards Robin and the others, but their numbers weren’t large, so they shouldn’t pose a threat to Robin and the others.
At this moment, Qin Lun was also in trouble. The four universe creatures he had exploded with chrysanthemums were charging at him aggressively. At the same time, there were a few scattered universe creatures wrapped around him in the meteor belt behind him.
Qin Lun’s eyes flickered. He was facing a life-and-death decision. Because of the distance, these universe creatures weren’t tightly wrapped around him. With the speed of a soldier, a man, and a machine, they could easily escape.
However, this way, Frank and Sawa would definitely be dragged into the depths of the meteorite belt by these cosmic creatures before the reinforcements arrived. Judging from the corrosive body fluids of these creatures, the two of them were likely to be doomed.
Frank and Sawa both had abilities that they had exchanged for. The hunchback servant’s abilities were biased towards defense, while Sawa’s abilities were biased towards assistance, which did not help the current predicament.
Qin Lun didn’t care about Sawa’s life or death, but he didn’t want anything to happen to Frank.
“Damn it!” Qin Lun glanced in the direction of the Faith and sighed helplessly. He believed that Faith should have discovered the abnormal situation on the battlefield by now, but the 2000 light-second distance between them was a heavenly chasm.
Even if the Faith had already ejected the reinforcements in time, it would probably take half an hour for them to arrive.
“There’s nothing I can do, at least save Frank!” A fierce light flashed in Qin Lun’s eyes. Instead of retreating, he rushed towards the four universe creatures in front of him who had exploded with chrysanthemums.
Strangely, Qin Lun’s gaze didn’t seem to care about the four universe creatures in front of him at all. He crossed their bodies and looked in the direction of Frank and Sawa.
This universe creature that resembled a giant spider seemed to possess very high intelligence. It was immediately enraged by the soldier’s attitude of ignoring it. The claws on its mouth slightly opened, and it was about to spit out that corrosive dark green body fluid.
Qin Lun’s cold eyes met. The soldier’s body slowly emitted a faint flame like smoke. However, before he could take any practical action, the four large spiders in front of him suddenly stopped. Their bodies began to tremble slightly. Their already large bellies were now bulging like balls.
“It’s exactly eighteen seconds. This thing’s physique is really good. Or perhaps I’ve filled too little ammunition.” Qin Lun didn’t seem surprised at all when he saw the abnormalities on these cosmic creatures. He calmly calculated the interval between the time they were shot and the time they attacked.
The four large spiders exploded like water balls after their bodies expanded to the extreme, spraying out a patch of body fluids in all directions. Apart from the meteorite minerals attached to their bodies, the organs and tissues in their bodies seemed to have been dissolved into a pool of acid by some mysterious substance.
“Indeed, it is effective!” Qin Lun’s eyes revealed a hint of joy. The soldier suddenly sped through the area and rushed towards Frank and the others.
The reason these cosmic creatures were like this was precisely because the “bullets” that had exploded into their bodies earlier had played a role. The bullets used by the Gauss Steel Bullet Gun were only soft-core mud bullets. After hitting an object, they would soften and dissipate without any real lethality.
However, Qin Lun controlled the Saint Thorn to incorporate some of the Jannamer organisms on the soldier’s body into the soft core mud bullet. When the bullets dissipated in four universe creatures, they were contaminated by Jannamer.
In fact, Jannamer’s biological tissues, which are separated from the core of soldier control, do not exist for long and will soon lose their viability. It was only during this period of time that they were inactive that enough pollution was needed to wipe out these cosmic creatures.
Qin Lun’s impromptu modifications were useful. He was no longer defenseless, and it was equivalent to possessing a lethal weapon specifically aimed at these creatures in the universe. The only drawback of this type of weapon was that the bullets needed to be loaded and fired at will, and they did not have the ability to fire continuously.
Seeing the explosion of four large spiders, the creatures in the universe behind Qin Lun slowed down in surprise. Although he did not give up on pursuing, his movements were no longer as reckless as before.
“Frank, Sawa, remove the armor plate on your body and cut through the tissue of Jannamer’s body with the light knife that the soldier brought with him!” Qin Lun calmly instructed his two companions who were trapped in the net.
Frank and Sawa saw what had just happened and immediately realized something. They quickly followed suit.
Qin Lun’s judgment was correct. After the Jannamer tissue on the soldier’s body was deliberately cut open, it quickly devoured the dark green spider silk that trapped Frank and Sawa.
Since the spider silk came from a living being in the universe, no matter how tough it was, it was still a biological fiber, and its companions were not immune to the contamination of Jannamer’s tissue.
Seeing their prey escape, these spiders-like creatures of the universe were extremely furious. However, they no longer dared to rashly approach their prey, and even the large spiders that had intercepted Robin and the others began to retreat.
However, they still hadn’t completely given up and kept a certain distance, spitting out corrosive body fluids at Apostle. However, once the distance was drawn, how could a high-mobility soldier-machine armor be shot by him?
In the meantime, another giant spider had been seized by Qin Lun, using the ballistic refraction to explode chrysanthemums, turning into a dark green firework again.
“Good job, Qin Lun!” The Apostle quickly gathered together again. Robin gave the young man a thumbs up with a chuckle. “Without your intelligence, I’m afraid none of us would have realized what kind of vicious creature this all-living mecha is.”
The number of creatures in the universe hiding in the meteorite belt was about twenty. Apart from the large spider-shaped creatures of the universe, there was also a huge creature that resembled a crab. This thing was bigger than twenty large spiders combined, like a crab warship,
It could spit out a liquid lightning slurry with light green fluorescence. Its damage range was extremely large, and it could cover a large star range. After the explosion, Robin and the others were shocked to see the dazzling flash of the dense lightning net.
However, its speed is very slow and its steering is not very flexible. As for Apostle, who had been on high alert for a long time, he had tried several times but failed to cover his prey with the ball of lightning.
“There’s no need for us!” Qin Lun suddenly turned his head to look into the depths of the universe, where hundreds of faint flashes of light had already appeared.
These flashes changed from gentle fireflies to aerial searchlights at a speed almost visible to the naked eye, whistling towards the cosmic creatures of the meteorite belt.
At a distance from Qin Lun and the others, hundreds of flashes of light suddenly split into three parts. Two beautiful arcs were drawn at the left and right ends. They were like eagles spreading their wings, and they were like angels folding their wings, stabbing behind the creatures of the universe.
“It has been more than 3,000 years since Giese entered the third universe. The crew tactics of space warfare are like palm-reading patterns to them. No matter how much we in Apostle learn, it is impossible for us to achieve this kind of flight coordination that is equivalent to art.”
‘”It’s time to get out of the mess. Apostle has Apostle’s advantage and there’s no need to learn their tactics,” Robin said with a deep gaze. “How to fuse Apostle’s ability into this all-biological mecha is our most important task.”
“Sir Robin, please lead the officers of Apostle to evacuate first. This will be handled by our 3rd Squadron.” Robin heard Dong Yue’s voice. Beautiful Adjutant Keith paused for a moment and said somewhat embarrassedly, “Captain Marcus said that he was sorry to put everyone in danger. He was entirely responsible for this accident.”
“Please tell the captain that we Apostle are warriors, not babysitters. We were too careless in this drill. Please don’t blame ourselves too much, captain.” Robin took a deep breath and said cautiously, “However, please let go of the restrictions as soon as possible and equip us with real air combat weapons.”
“Young Master, I’m sorry, I’ve disappointed you!” Just as Robin and Dong Yue were talking, Frank came to Qin Lun with some shame.
“Haha, just pay attention next time!” Qin Lun did not console the hunchbacked servant. Frank’s performance just now had truly disappointed him.
Even though Frank had been asked to behave in such a way as to be superior to others, it was difficult for him to do so. However, Qin Lun’s requirements for his servants naturally couldn’t be compared to those of other Apostle.
Just thinking about it, Qin Lun quickly felt relieved. Frank was not the clever Apostle. Loyalty and tenacity were his strengths.
“Let’s go back!” Turning his head to look at the creatures in the universe that had already begun fighting with the 3rd Mobile Squadron, Qin Lun controlled the mecha and flew towards the distant landing ship.
