I have a set of monster experience cards

Chapter 255 Beast or Civilization

"Um!"

On You Huan's side, he was trying to get useful information from the captured engineer.

Give it a dose of anesthetic toxin from time to time, and then use your claws to carefully cut open its chest, abdomen and other parts.

Watch the black water combine with it.

The engineer lying stiffly on the ground widened his eyes during this process, and his paralyzed face kept making vague hums.

But the sound was apparently ignored by the blackwater lifeforms who were conducting biological observations on it.

This made him want to cry without tears and his heart was filled with despair.

"Boom!"

"Shit, who are these sons of bitches? Can they still fight after being hit by a grenade?!"

On the other side, there was still a lively battle.

After discovering that ordinary bullets were not effective against the enemy, everyone took out a variety of more powerful weapons.

But amidst the bursts of violent bombings, the humanoid figures covered in robes still stood firm.

But the two sides once again distanced themselves.

After the engineer who could make sounds that interfered with physiological processes was taken away by a dark shadow, the remaining five engineers felt a little frightened and were a little timid in their actions.

Under the bombardment of human weapons, their clothes were damaged in large areas, revealing their pale, hairless, human-like appearance.

The appearance of the white giant made all the soldiers feel numb.

Although they are tall and look very similar to humans, these engineers have a large number of black meridians protruding from their bodies, which makes them not only lack the divinity of a more advanced civilization, but also give them a sense of monsters.

When the shock waves, flames or fragments of thermal weapons damage part of their bodies, a large amount of black granulation will immediately appear at the wound, which can be healed in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, they have the ability to fire several types of biomass bullets, and some of their limbs can partially deform.

Xiao and Holloway also came out at this time.

When Xiao saw these ragged white giants, he was surprised and speechless.

Holloway showed an expression of disbelief: "Impossible, how could our creator be such a monster? And they-"

The words stopped suddenly because Xiao next to him pushed him to the ground.

The next moment, the head of the engineer closest to them split open like petals, and a thick and long "stamen" poked out from the splash of black liquid.

In the blink of an eye, the flower stamens spanned a distance of tens of meters and passed over Xiao and Holloway.

With a "chuck" sound, a soldier behind them was penetrated and brought back to the engineer.

It holds the prey, and the stamens on its head bulge and bulge, quickly sucking the prey dry.

After absorbing the nutrients of its prey, its originally slowed wound healing speed accelerated again.

Xiao and Holloway felt a chill at the sight and hurriedly hid behind the army.

At this time, the army finally brought out more advanced weapons.

The energy weapon that comes from the same source as the spaceship's energy emits blue light, and the thick beam completely shatters the upper body of an engineer in an instant!

Even a body deeply integrated with black water cannot regenerate.

The engineer's lower body first fell to his knees, and then exploded into a pile of blackened flesh.

One companion is missing, one companion is dead.

Look at the "dwarfs" in front of you who are holding unknown weapons aimed at you.

The engineers finally felt a hint of fear.

At this moment, a vague moaning sound came from the woods nearby.

"Um!"

A certain unlucky engineer finally got rid of the effects of the paralyzing toxin a little bit and struggled to cry out for help.

The next second, a shimmering tail accurately penetrated the constantly moving core organ of life inside its body.

The core is destroyed, the black water loses its potency, and it dies instantly.

"Hiss..."

A very small, low sound came from the woods.

The moment they heard this sound, intense fear immediately struck the hearts of the remaining five engineers.

It seems that the black water in their bodies is warning them.

For a moment, their legs even trembled due to instinctive fear.

The next moment, they ignored the humans in front of them, turned around and ran wildly into the forest!

"..."    The battlefield instantly cooled down.

Xiao, Holloway and others looked at each other.

Did he finally get scared and run away?

Everyone did not know that it was the homologous deterrence between You Huan and Heishui that scared away the engineers, and they thought it was the energy weapon that appeared at the end.

However, the power of these weapons did make those engineers feel afraid.

The leader of the exploration team patted the barrel of the weapon, his expression not relaxed.

He looked at Xiao next to him: "Is this what you call...the Creator?"

Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Judging from the appearance, it does match the description on the mural we found, but..."

But neither their violent attacks nor their extremely weird abilities have been seen in the murals.

Moreover, is the person who attacks me and looks like that really the noble and kind creator in people's hearts?

Is it the "god" described by ancient civilizations who will patiently teach them how to farm and build, and lead them to create glory?

Why does it look more cruel and twisted than human beings?

And why attack their creation - human beings?

You Huan can now partially answer these doubts in Xiao's heart.

After dissecting and using the modeling ability of [Killing Science] to gain a detailed understanding of the captured engineer, he discovered two things.

First, excluding the black water part, this engineer is actually not healthy and should belong to the category of "stunted little man" among engineers.

In addition, these engineers did not wear the biomass armor worn by the previous corpses, but only wore thin clothing.

Maybe they are characters like "refugees" or "poor people"?

Second, they are deeply integrated with black water.

The black water completely replaced their blood and most other tissue fluids, causing distortions in various organs.

Even the brain is flowing with wisps of black water particles.

Although the black water activity and aggressiveness in their bodies is very low, they are a unique domesticated species.

But they can also be regarded as a kind of black water life.

Black water can cause unique stimulation to organic matter and induce changes in living organisms at the genetic level.

That's why they show all kinds of monster-like abilities.

But black water also changes their brain structure, making them more aggressive.

It can be said that these guys have turned into "beasts", and it is no longer suitable to treat them with the standards of civilization.

They may have forgotten that the life they just attacked is the creation of the civilization to which they belong.

Biological instinct prompts them to search for fresh blood food and hosts of black water.

But has the entire engineering civilization fallen to this point?

You Huan doesn’t think so. The main evidence lies in...

[Common task: Find the main city of the Engineer Civilization. [Reward: Strengthening Points*2]]

After researching the Engineer, this quest appears on the panel.

Judging from the task description, it is obvious that the engineers as a whole still retain a considerable level of civilization.

Leave the engineer's body where it is, waiting for someone "who is destined" to find it.

He silently followed the five engineers who rushed into the forest.

But the task is indeed not that easy to complete.

The five engineers did not take him to the "main city of engineer civilization". Instead, they stopped in a camp in the forest.

This simple camp, built with wood and exoskeletons plucked from the spaceship, seemed to be their "home."

Because this time You Huan tried his best to restrain the aura of being a black water being, and the following distance was relatively long.

The engineers were unaware of his tracking.

After returning to the camp, they had a heated conversation in an unfamiliar language, and then began to pack up the things in the camp and prepare to move.

I bet these engineers are "savages"...

You Huan felt that it was inappropriate to call all the white giants "engineers", so he might as well call them "white giants".

Seeing that there was nothing worth exploring, he returned the same way and came to the vicinity of the human camp.

When the white giants were packing their things and preparing to run away, it was getting dark and the human exploration team came back.
