Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1134 Alien
Some are responsible for collecting and recovering the defeated monsters and demons; some are responsible for monitoring changes in the surrounding environment; and others are responsible for fighting, carrying various weapons and ammunition to attack the enemy.

It is said that in order to cope with this unprecedented war, "Dongda" deliberately opened hundreds of additional drone production lines to meet the growing demand.

Then the mercenaries saw the images transmitted by the drone.

Then, a slender creature covered with a black shell jumped into everyone's sight.

"It's an alien!"

An experienced mercenary exclaimed in a low voice, with unquestionable certainty in his voice.

"A goblin-level monster. This is going to be a big problem."

Another person added, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

The mercenaries recognized the monster immediately.

This type of monster is one of the most common monsters. They belong to the same family as face huggers, but compared to the latter, aliens have more complex life forms and more terrifying survival strategies.

The facehugger parasitizes the host, injects the alien embryo into the host's body, and uses the host's life energy to grow rapidly until it suddenly bursts out of the host's chest cavity when it is mature. This process is both cruel and efficient, allowing the alien to reproduce in large numbers in a very short period of time.

The ferocity of the aliens is not only reflected in their ruthless plunder of life, but also in their almost unsolvable assimilation ability.

Once a living organism is selected by the alien as an assimilation object, the genetic material in its body will be completely rewritten. The originally independent life form will gradually lose its self and become a member of the alien army.

This ability makes aliens the common enemy of all intelligent creatures. No matter whether they are humans or other creatures, they cannot escape their potential threat.

After in-depth research, the scientific research team found that the bone structure of the aliens is extremely unique and they have no fixed shape.

Instead, it is able to adapt according to the type of host, from the light bones of birds to the heavy shells of reptiles, and even the complex limb structure of arthropods, the alien can perfectly imitate and enhance them.

This ability enables the alien to demonstrate amazing adaptability and survivability when facing different environments.

What is even more disturbing is that the alien's outer skin has been siliconized to form an extremely hard shell, which not only provides strong defense, but also gives the alien excellent concealment.

Because silicate skin has no thermal conductivity, the aliens hardly emit any heat, making conventional detection methods such as thermal imagers completely ineffective. They are like ghosts in the night, approaching the target silently and then delivering a fatal blow.

Guns, electric shocks, these weapons that humans are proud of, seem to have lost their former power in the face of aliens.

The alien's siliconized shell can easily withstand attacks from most conventional weapons. Even powerful explosion shock waves can only leave shallow scratches on its surface.

Although high temperature and freezing can cause a certain degree of damage to the aliens, it is far from fatal. They can always recover quickly and continue to fight.

However, everything is interdependent and the aliens are not invincible.

Through countless experiments and observations, researchers have discovered that the alien's head is covered with a layer of translucent ossified skin, which is the most vulnerable part of their body.

Once this area is hit with sufficient intensity, the alien will temporarily lose the ability to move or even die directly.

But the problem is that the aliens are extremely fast, like ghosts in the night, and every flash is accompanied by the breath of death. Not only do they have amazing self-healing abilities, even if the head is severely injured, they can repair themselves in just a few minutes. The broken bones and torn muscles seem to have never existed, recombining into a terrifying picture that makes people's heart palpitate.

This makes "headshot" an extremely difficult and risky task, and even the most trained fighters find it difficult to remain calm when facing such a monster.

Since the fall of Tokyo, the city has been reduced to ruins. Its former prosperity and bustle have been replaced by endless despair and fear.

The battles between the mercenaries and demons and monsters have become almost a daily routine. They shuttle through the ruins, countless lives are lost every day, and the air is filled with the smell of blood and death.

Among them, the number of mercenaries who died in alien attacks has exceeded 10,000, and this number is still rising as if there is no end.

"Where's the heavy machine gun?"

A mercenary shouted anxiously, his voice echoing in the empty ruins, sounding particularly harsh.

Of course, they would not come to die without preparation. Facing the monsters that they would encounter frequently, they had prepared heavy weapons, including but not limited to heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and anti-material sniper rifles. These weapons were their only reliance in this life-and-death battle.

Da da da da... The roar of the heavy machine gun resounded through the sky, bullets poured out like raindrops, and fired wildly in the direction of the alien.

However, the alien's shell is extremely hard, as if it were made of the strongest metal, and even heavy machine gun bullets have difficulty penetrating it.

What made them even more desperate was that the alien was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, it had cut the throat of a mercenary with its sharp claws. Blood gushed out, dyeing the entire ruins red.

"Damn it, it's a cat alien that parasitizes a cat!"

The captain was horrified; he had never seen such a horrible monster.

When an alien parasitizes an organism, it will acquire the genes of that organism and then optimize those genes. A cat alien is an alien that parasitizes a cat and acquires the cat's genes. Cats are known for their agility and are nicknamed the best hunters.

After acquiring this sensitivity and reaction from the powerful creature called the Alien, the Cat Alien became the most terrifying hunter. They can capture the flaws of their prey in a very short time and then kill it with one blow.

The mercenaries' mood instantly fell to the bottom.

While the others were distracted, a mercenary quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, raised his bazooka and aimed at the cat alien. His finger was tightly on the trigger, and sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the cold metal.

He knew that this was his only chance. If he failed, endless darkness and death would be waiting for him.

"Fire!"

He shouted, and a dazzling flame suddenly burst out from the nozzle of the rocket launcher. A rocket whizzed out and headed straight towards the direction of the cat alien.

However, the cat alien's reaction speed was beyond his imagination. It rolled in the air and easily avoided the fatal attack.

"Damn it!"

The mercenary roared, he could not accept such an outcome.
