Vol 2 Chapter 88: Forbidden City (5)

Time passed by, and only a few beams of flashlights were left in the gloomy passage, pouring out on the blood-stained ground. In the silence, only the sound of the faint water was heard. I don't know what creatures are immersing countless in the darkness. The sewage of the dead body.
Ethan felt extremely tired, and the tentacles behind him seemed to be weighed down on him. He felt as if he hadn't slept for three days and three nights, and his eyelids seemed to be made of lead blocks, constantly closing downwards. He told himself that he could not sleep, and bit his tongue hard, the pain finally cleared his consciousness.
He began to groan with extreme pain, just like the low and low pain that would come out when he had appendicitis. At the same time, the tentacles that spread from his neck, shoulders and neck to the entire back began to slowly "crawl" back under his pale skin. That kind of scene is weird and unreasonable. No one can explain how so many huge thorny tentacles squeeze into the body that is too thin even by the standards of male Beta. The black lines on his face began to recede, and his pupils returned to their original shape.
His reason returned to his apparent consciousness, and the wanton killing for a while was as far away as a nightmare. But on the other hand, he clearly remembered everything that happened. He remembered how he manipulated those disgusting and powerful black tentacles to consume the flesh and blood of those inhumans and guards, and remembered how he looked at the name John. The non-human begged under his feet, and then squeezed his head, remembering how he poured strange things into the blond Alpha's throat.
He killed people, consciously using the most brutal and terrifying means to kill hundreds of people. He absorbed them with his tentacles, drank their blood, and smiled amid their screams.
Ethan was a little frightened, not anything outside, but himself. He was afraid of why he was so peaceful at this time, why he didn't feel much regret, why he was even relieved a little bit of comfort, as if he had lost a burden.
Sior Neal was right. This mutation happened not only in his body, but also in his spirit...
What kind of terrible thing he will become?
Ethan suddenly felt a bit cold in his body, his clothes had been completely torn on the back, and he could not protect himself from the cold at this moment. He held his body, stood up slowly, and walked towards Samuel, who was still holding Schneider's body blankly and sitting under the hanging ring made of two twine ropes.
Ethan looked at Schneider's unclosed eyes. The pupils that were always clear and firm were now covered with a layer of dead gray, and his lips were slightly open, as if he wanted to say something. He felt a little illusory, like a thick layer of cotton, unable to understand what he saw in his mind.
Why did he not save Schneider? Obviously he has mutated, so many people have been killed, why can't he be saved? Why didn't you notice the Alpha, why should you focus on the blond guard? If he is more careful...
Ethan lowered his head, the inexplicable guilt made his throat bitter, and he didn't know how to face Samuel's gaze.
But he knew they didn't have much time.
Samuel's expression was hollow, his eyes were dry, as if he had no soul, and turned into a statue. He had been in this position for a long time, and didn't react to Ethan's approach.
Ethan put his hand on Samuel's shoulder carefully, "We...can't stay here for long..."
Samus shrank back abruptly as if he had been hit by something sharp. He still held Schneider tightly, as if he hadn't heard Ethan's words.
Ethan's heart was stirred with sourness and regret, and there was a rock in his throat. He whispered, "Someone will come down and arrest us soon. We have to leave here."
"I don't want to leave him." Samuel's voice was hoarse, tired and hollow.
Ethan looked at Schneider's motionless body with some anxiety. The queen of worms said that only after a person dies, the parasitic eggs hatch. If Schneider really has eggs of giant worms in his body, it may emerge from Schneider's body at any time.
He didn't want Samuel to be stimulated any more.
So Ethan stood up, picked up a laser gun from the ground, and walked behind Samuel, who was still in a state of loss of soul, and learned the usual method of beating people with the guards observed before, and slammed towards Omega. Knocked on the nape of the neck. Samus probably has gone through too much chaos, coupled with stimulation, has reached the limit. Although Ethan was weak, he managed to knock people out. He held Samuel's fallen body, and it took a huge amount of power to drag the person aside.
He was sweating profusely, panting, and felt that he was about to faint at any time. But reason supported his body, telling him that if he falls now, it will be completely over.
He didn't know that his desire to survive was so strong that he had obviously become a monster, but he still didn't want to die.
Ethan knelt next to Schneider's body, pursed his lips, and then reached out to untie Schneider's clothes. The former head of guard's strong body was covered with bruises from kicks, and the color became darker due to the lack of blood circulation. Ethan gave up a lot of energy, and looked carefully at the body that was stripped by him, but couldn't see where the worm would come out. Ethan was a little disgusted with himself, people were already dead, but he still blasphemed Schneider's body so much. A sense of guilt flooded the sky, forcing him to put the unfolded clothes back on Schneider again. It's just that the corpse had already started to stiffen at this time, which took him a lot of strength. When the last button was finally fastened, Ethan collapsed and sat down beside him.
"Sorry..." Ethan whispered to Schneider, his nose was a bit sore, so he had to rub it with his hands vigorously, "I... didn't save you..."
He and Samuel... don’t they seem to have been together for long? He has liked Samuel for so long, and he can die in the arms of his beloved at the last moment, but is there any unfinished grudge?
Ethan found that he didn't know Schneider at all—their superior guard. At this moment, seeing that once handsome and determined face became a little strange due to the loss of muscle support, Ethan felt his heart smoldering.
Samus... can he survive this loss?
He tried to put himself in and thought, what would happen to him if it was Tanisel lying here?
At this moment, Schneider's body suddenly began to tremble. It's like the shivering of people in extreme cold. Ethan was taken aback and almost really jumped off the ground.
Did you cheat the corpse?
Then, Schneider's mouth suddenly opened, so wide that it seemed to tear the corners of his mouth apart. This scene is very weird. Schneider’s eyes are hollow and empty, and his mouth is opened like a black hole, as if his jaw has been removed. The next moment Ethan almost feels that he will make a non-human hiss. Hao.
This is not the case.
From his mouth, something long as thick as a human's forearm crawled out.
Ethan stared blankly, the fleshy pink bug squirming around his soft and sticky body, appearing little by little in the dim light. Its front end was raised high after coming out, spinning around, as if looking for something. At that time, the front-end holes that were enlarged and sometimes contracted were also explored one by one. Its body has circles of wrinkles, and dense blood vessels under the soft skin...
Not only did Ethan not feel terrified, but he straightened up with a little surprise and moved forward. The front end of the young giant worm immediately aimed at him, motionless, as if observing him. Although Ethan does not think it has an organ like eyes.
A strange softness rose in Ethan's heart, and he slowly stretched out a finger to the front end of the little worm. Suddenly, the little worm opened its mouth wide, held his fingers, and sucked hard like sucking milk. It hasn't grown teeth yet, and it feels soft and wet, as if it's really being sucked by a human child. It just sucked in this way for a while, then spit out Ethan's fingers, then rubbed the back of Ethan's hand with that soft body, and even coiled up his wrist and forearm bit by bit. Ethan did not stop, but watched it finally drill out completely from Schneider's mouth, pulling a long transparent and crystal line from the end.
Ethan tilted his head to observe it, his expression was a little fascinated, "So... you are the chief culprit sent to hollow out the earth."
The little worm didn't respond to his words and waved its front end.
"Are you male or female? Do you also have sub-sex?" Ethan stretched out his hand to touch the thin skin of the little worm, and suddenly smiled and said to himself, "Whether it is male or female, I'm afraid You are going to die alone."
He wouldn't let Samus have an accident, he was the only friend left.
Should I kill it? The population living on the earth today is very sparse, and some important government departments of the Earth Alliance are still placed here. But... After all, this is the place where the Galactic civilization originated, and there are more or less ordinary citizens living in several larger cities.
But if you kill it...
Ethan quietly watched his arm constantly rubbing against him, as if he was a little worm thinking of him as a "mother", and he had another plan in his mind.
He stood up and stepped off the platform, and walked to the side of the river that smelled of blood. He squatted down, dragged the small worm entwined around his left arm with his right hand, watching it curl up in the air nervously because of the loss of support. Ethan put it into the river and watched it move up the water, curling and twisting like a huge pork tapeworm.
Ethan said to it, "The'food' here will be enough for you to eat for a while."
The little worm quickly disappeared in the black water, and Ethan saw the corpse not far away violently sinking and floating, and a pink thing flashed around its waist.
Ethan grinned and whispered quietly, "With so much food, I might grow up soon."
At this time, he asked a tinge of burnt and spicy smell in the air. Although the origin of the smell was probably still far away from them, the smell was as clear to Ethan as the Omega smell on Samuel. He knew immediately that people outside would not dare to come in easily, so he wanted to smoke him and Samuel out of these drainage pipes.
He quickly turned around, not knowing where the strength came from, and pulled Samuel who was on the ground up, half-dragging and dragging off the high platform. He picked up a flashlight from the ground and tied it around his waist, then with a squeeze, put most of Samuel's weight on his shoulders, leading him to the depths of the corridor.
He had never been so glad that the work he had done before was related to the sewers, and he was more familiar with the terrain than anyone in the Forbidden City. The last time he broke into the old subway station by mistake, now thinking about it, it is a good place to hide.
Making up his mind, Ethan groped in the dark with memory. The pungent smell became more and more pungent, so he held his breath most of the time, Samuel's heavy body pressed his shoulders, but he still had to endure it.
The wall in my memory had been sealed again, and Ethan touched it side by side, and finally touched a concrete wall that felt different from the other walls.
"That's it." Ethan stretched out his foot and tried hard, but the wall didn't move. He then considered whether to corrode the wall with the acid from his tentacles.
At this moment, Ethan's body suddenly stiffened.
Because a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, which did not belong to him.
There was a little sunshine-like heat in that thought, which made his cold body warm up in an instant. The string of the shackles of the soul that had been silent for a long time was finally moved again.
The idea passed by Tanisel is very simple, only three words: I am here.
