Chapter 173
The "Queen" fought a fierce battle with the vampire alien here.
Although the "Queen" had the upper hand, she was unable to prevent the opponent from escaping.
"Even the Queen can't kill this vampire alien?"
Helen asked in surprise.
Peter said to her: "The evolved alien has the ability to fly, and is faster and has stronger self-healing ability. The direction of the Queen's evolution is not in frontal combat, but mainly in camouflage and charm."
When Helen heard Peter say the word "charm", she felt that Peter was starting to be sarcastic again.
"and"
Peter, who didn't know that Helen was complaining about herself in her heart, said to the two of them, "It seems that the vampire alien seemed to sense my approach, so it didn't fight and ran away directly."
He stroked the head of the "Queen" close to his chest with his hand, "They seem to be hiding from me."
"Do you frighten them?"
Helen asked him.
"Yes, I am afraid and scared now. We need to get out of here."
A black mutant among Tony Stark's gang said.
The black mutant's name is Tucker and his ability is skin hardening.
But at this time his skin, especially the skin on his back, was already covered in blood.
Just now, when dealing with that group of flying vampire aliens, these people suffered a great loss.
These monsters are not only powerful, but also extremely fast.
Their combat intelligence level also seems to be far beyond that of ordinary creatures.
After initially attacking their group, the monster retreated back into the darkness.
They understand how to use darkness to camouflage themselves, have enough patience to wait for the right moment, know how to avoid risks, and are good at using their mobility advantages.
These characteristics caused these monsters to inflict severe damage on their people right from the start.
Tucker watched with his own eyes as a mutant companion's head was smashed by the other's claws.
If I didn't have the ability to make my skin hard, I would probably have my heart scratched by the alien that jumped out.
"No, no, we have to find Helen and Anna."
Tony bandaged his injured arm and hammered the wall with his left hand. "Of course, there is also the escaped Danvers, if he hasn't been eaten yet."
Tony Stark did not expect things to develop to this point.
Although he wanted to retreat, he had no way to ask for help.
There was no way to communicate with the outside world and there was no way to call for help.
Rather than making a demoralizing decision like retreating, it is better to keep moving forward.
Tony thought as he cast his gaze towards Vampire Princess, Blade, and Werewolf.
Now with three superhumans protecting us, our safety is guaranteed to a certain extent.
Of course, the guy whose head was crushed might have been a little unlucky.
"You know this creature, don't you?"
The Blade Warrior inserted the silver sword into the scabbard behind his back and asked the Vampire Princess.
Hearing his question, everyone turned their attention to the vampire princess.
"Yes, I have seen the horror of this dark creature." Vampire Princess said solemnly, "I fought against this creature on the ship I took to Earth. Helen called it an 'alien'."
"Are they from outer space like you?"
Vampire Princess shook her head, "I don't know, but there is a great possibility."
She said to everyone, "Their eggs were dormant in that ship, in the bodies of the crew members. These face huggers were successfully impregnated in the crew members of the ship, and after a period of time, they successfully developed into larvae."
"Then, after breaking out of the body, these alien larvae learned to play hide-and-seek. In the joyful game of hide-and-seek, they shed their skins and quickly developed into adults. That's when the hunt between me and them began."
Tony stood up, ignoring the pain of the damn wound on his hand, and asked the vampire girl: "So you have defeated them?"
He began to have some idea in his mind.
"If I weren't an immortal vampire, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that simple."
There was no optimism on the vampire's expression.
“After discovering the dead crew members in the hibernation capsule, I encountered them in the ventilation duct, where these alien stalkers hid.
When we were about to reach Earth, I used the lifeboat to release them. During this time, they were so elusive that they hid in the lifeboat first. Finally, I used the pressure difference to eject the stalkers from the spacecraft. "
She added, "Of course I didn't know how to do it, I just figured it out by accident."
"What happens after that?"
Tony asked her, frowning.
“Then I arrived on Earth.”
Vampire Princess turned her gaze towards Blade Warrior and said, "But those aliens are very different from the current ones."
"What are the differences?"
After pondering for a while, the vampire princess said, "Those aliens are of medium size, neither fast nor slow. Their mobility is not outstanding compared to the ones we encountered, and their strength is also mediocre, but their whereabouts are secretive and difficult to detect. The most important thing is..."
After a pause, she said:
"Their intelligence seems to be constantly evolving. At first, they didn't know how to use machinery, but later in the course of fighting, they learned how to use equipment."
After hearing this, Tony thought about it and asked the vampire princess, "How do they reproduce?"
"I guess they have two coexisting modes of reproduction - individual infection and egg-laying. Although the reproductive mode we have seen so far is egg-laying, the possibility of infection cannot be ruled out."
The vampire princess expressed her guess, and Tony, who was bandaging his wound, suddenly felt something was wrong.
Vampire Princess then said: "Although the killing performance of these aliens in the spacecraft is not as eye-catching as it is now, they are unique in species and have infection skills. Once they are released, they will bring endless nightmares to mankind."
When the few people heard this, they all fell silent. The atmosphere was terribly depressing.
Where everyone was, there was a rectangular border pattern with a dot pattern on the mural, which was an inscription written in some unknown ancient language and script.
The carvings below, which penetrate two inches into the wall, show traces of paint in places, but much of the paint has long since peeled off and disappeared over the years.
The mutant Tucker felt a chill as he looked at these carvings. He seemed to see something approaching him, causing endless fear to invade his nerves.
The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a feeling of swelling in his chest invaded his whole body.
My head was dizzy and my consciousness started to become a little blurry.
Something seems to be coming out!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
He covered his chest with his hands and coughed violently, immediately attracting the attention of others.
