Chapter 31 Wake up, my Alexia!
The ends of the monster's three arthropod-like limbs began to become sharp, like sickles, and swung towards Steve and Claire.
Yang Ren immediately stretched out two tentacles to intercept, but they were cut off by a single blow.
"Hold!"
The tentacles were suddenly cut off by a knife just like one's own hands.
The pain was no less than when one's finger was suddenly scratched by A4 paper.
All the nerves in Yang Ren's body trembled.
Fortunately, NE-γ tentacles recover very quickly and grow back in just 5 seconds.
The two people behind him kept firing at the beating heart-like thing on the monster's chest.
But this thing is surprisingly tough and difficult for bullets to penetrate.
The monster bent down, supporting the ground with three limbs, and retreated quickly like a spider.
Then three sickle-shaped limbs inserted into the ground, picking up a large piece of ice and snow and throwing it towards Yang Ren.
Yang Ren punched out, breaking the snow block into pieces in the middle, but there was no sign of the monster.
There was a sound of breaking air overhead, and Yang Ren dodged immediately. One of the monster's limbs pierced into the place where Yang Ren had just stood.
Yang Ren took the opportunity to grab the limb, swung the monster around like a windmill, and threw it towards the wall.
However, when the monster was about to hit the wall, the ends of its sickle-like limbs inserted into the wall, fixing its body.
Then he climbed over and reached the roof.
As the monster's limbs twisted, various objects on the roof were thrown towards the three people below, mostly oil drums.
Steve and Claire didn't dare shoot at the oil barrels, they could only dodge them as best they could.
The monster jumped off the roof only when there was nothing left to throw.
The oil barrels scattered the three people's positions, and the monster chose to jump directly in front of Claire, who looked the easiest to bully.
Just as Yang Ren was about to go over, the monster, without even turning its head, swung one of its limbs towards Yang Ren.
The sickle-like end was actually thrown out and flew straight towards Yang Ren.
As Yang Ren caught the "sickle", he exclaimed:
"Can it still be used like this?"
The monster used the limb without an end to roll up Claire into the air before she could react.
Then another limb rose up, about to pierce Claire.
Yang Ren burst out with extreme speed and arrived behind the monster in the next second.
He kicked the monster in the side of the head, sending it flying sideways.
Claire fell to the ground, and Yang Ren immediately stepped forward to help her up:
"Are you okay?"
Claire stood firm and indicated that everything was fine, then looked at the monster again:
"Fortunately...the monster stood up again!"
The monster stood up again, and the end of the limb that had been thrown out before grew out again.
"It's fucking hard."
Steve said through gritted teeth.
The monster seemed to notice some steel cables overhead.
He jumped up and grabbed the steel cable with two limbs, moving above the three people like a monkey on a tree.
Then he repeated the same trick, and the remaining limb continued to swing out the sickle-shaped end, then grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then swung out again.
The extremely cold environment made the three people's movements slow down. If they continued like this, they would be hit by the sickle sooner or later.
Once hit, it will be split into two.
Yang Ren seized the opportunity and threw the "sickle" he had caught earlier at one of the monster's limbs that was grabbing the steel cable.
Then he caught another "sickle" thrown by the monster.
The thrown "sickle" easily cut off the monster's limbs, and the monster, which lost its fixing force, fell down immediately.
Yang Ren immediately stepped forward and, before the monster stood up, inserted the "sickle" in his hand into the "heart" in the monster's chest.
The monster roared in pain, and then Yang Ren grabbed one of its limbs.
Pull the monster's entire body, swing it continuously, and smash it onto the snow.
However, doing so does not seem to cause any harm to the monster at all, it can only forcibly control the monster's actions.
But in Steve and Claire's eyes, it was like...
A man grabbed the legs of a spider that was bigger than a man and swung it around.
The snow on the ground was smashed into pieces.
It didn't do any harm, but it was really exaggerated.
After hitting it a few times and finding no effect, Yang Ren simply twisted the end of the limb he was holding off with force.
Then use this sickle-shaped limb to insert into the monster's head.
But the monster was still not dead, and was even still waving its last limb, trying to chop Yang Ren.
Yang Ren dodged the attack and grabbed the end of the last limb.
Using all his strength, he pulled it right off the monster.
Then he kept his distance, and when the monster stood up again, he swung the limb and used the sickle at the end to chop off the monster's head.
This time, the monster was finally completely quiet.
"You're still thinking about protecting your offspring even after you've become like this..."
Yang Ren said while panting.
……
Inside the facility, the three people went down to the office behind the spiral staircase.
Alfred dragged his weak body after being shot and came here step by step with his tenacious willpower.
"Uh, cough, cough... forgive me, Alexia..."
"I can't handle those guys alone."
Alfred came to his desk and sank into his chair.
He glanced at the family photo on the table, then took out a landscape ball.
Inside the landscape ball is a wooden house with two Q-version figures standing at the door.
A man and a woman, with blonde hair, holding each other's hands, with snowflakes falling from the sky.
“Hehehe… Then, come out… Alexia…”
"After 15 years of long sleep, I finally merged with the great Veronica virus!"
"Wake up, my Alexia!"
Press a button under the landscape ball, and the little man in front of the igloo will start to turn, and melodious music will play.
At the bottom of the facility, as the alarm sounded, life monitors gradually lit up one after another.
A large number of various pipes are connected to a transparent egg-shaped life support device next to it, and the white mist outside the glass cover gradually fades away.
Inside the glass cover, a naked but beautiful blonde girl who was soaked in nutrient solution opened her eyes.
Alfred, sitting in his office chair, suddenly felt the floor beneath his feet vibrate.
Before he could react, several huge plant vines broke through the floor, wrapped up his hands and neck, and pressed them against the wall.
"Alexia..."
"Why…"
As the vines around Alfred's neck gradually tightened.
His breathing gradually became difficult, a choking sound came from his throat, a line of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he closed his eyes.
The snow globe in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.
……
Outside the facility, the three came to a snowmobile.
"How lucky I am that the key is still there!"
Yang Ren behind him keenly noticed that something was wrong.
Steve was about to open the car door, but he looked through the window behind him and saw several huge tentacles extending from the ground at some point.
This tentacle looks like a vine of some kind of plant, with a sharp end and the skin covered with a layer of scales.
As soon as Steve turned around, a vine grabbed his leg and dragged him underground.
"Steve!"
Claire screamed, but behind her, there were also several huge vines twisting.
Even Yang Ren didn't have time to save Claire, as she was sucked underground by the vines.
“Alexia…!”
"How dare you roll someone up in front of me?!"
Even though Yang Ren was very angry now, his NE-γ tentacles were no match for the plant roots of Alexia's Veronica ecosystem.
He had no choice but to leave first, avoid the various vines that blocked his way, and return to the facility again.
At the same time, a two-seat AV-8B flew into the Antarctic Research Institute.
