Falling Into The Abyss - Vol 2 Chapter 117

Going up the dilapidated escape stairs to the second floor, the walls on both sides of the dark corridor have been knocked down and replaced by pig iron fences covered with unknown dirt and copper-red rust. There was a greasy black stain on the ground, which was soft when stepped on it, and Ethan reminded him of a nightmare about his homeland, the fifth space station, that he had done a long time ago. All the plants in that dream were covered with similar oil stains.

The compartments behind the iron fence are mostly empty, but there are many burn marks on the ground or on the wall. The air was mixed with excrement and **** stench, and Samuel couldn’t help covering his nose with his arm.

“Damn…what the hell…” he cursed.

Ethan was still searching for the smell carefully. Obviously Samuel’s father had been here, but he didn’t stay long.

Just as Samuel followed him through the “wards”, something suddenly rushed out of the darkness and collided with the iron fence with an astonishing loud noise, making a terrifying howl of beasts. Samus was unprepared and was so scared that he fell to the ground. In front of him, a swollen behemoth was grinning at him through the iron bars. The human face was covered with tumors of various sizes. His facial features were twisted and deformed. There were many tiny earthworm-like tentacles growing from his knuckles. The nails were gone and he was trying to grab Samuel.

Samuel was undecided, and he cursed a long series of swear words. Ethan turned his head and looked at the sick “person”, sniffed in his direction before he was relieved.

Fortunately, this is not Samuel’s father.

But when Ethan approached the iron fence, the violent and thirst exuding from the patient’s body suddenly abated a lot. The swollen body shrank a little, lowered his head, and carefully looked at him from under his swollen eyelids, like a dog who had done something wrong and waited for his owner’s punishment. Ethan stood very close to him, so close that it was a little too dangerous. Samus quickly got up from the ground and grabbed his shoulders to pull him away, but Ethan waved his hand at him, looking at the infected person with a little curiosity.

“You have something to tell me?” Ethan asked unexpectedly.

Samuel watched in amazement as the infected person really mumbled, but it was hard to tell if it was human. His tone was sharp and weird, in some places it seemed to be coughing, and in other places it was not like a human purr. However, Ethan listened carefully to those strange sounds, as if he could really understand them.

“Hey! We can’t waste any more time, there is probably a camera here!” Samuel urged nervously.

Ethan asked the infected person seriously, “You said they burned everyone to death? And those people are actually conscious?”

The infected person continued to grunt with unbearable strange noises, Ethan frowned, and there was a flash of anger in his eyes. But then, he stretched out his hand and reached into the iron cage, touching the twisted face of the infected person dripping with mucus, even with a little pity in that action. He leaned back and turned to Samuel and said, “He said that yesterday he saw a few guards walking upstairs with a normal person, and we have to keep going up.

Samus stared at Ethan with a strange look. “You can understand him?”

Ethan shrugged and said again in that indifferent tone, “Almost.”

why? Is it because you made them? Samuel did not ask this sentence. He just felt more and more that Ethan in front of him was no longer the same as before. He still believes that Ethan will not hurt him, but he also instinctively raises the kind of fear and a trace of…disgust that he would have when facing dangerous things that are completely different from his own.

But on the other hand, he was very yearning for a sense of alienation that was completely different from human beings. Although it looks dirty and evil, it may be more direct and simple than human beings.

He remembered that on the Day of the Holy Spirit, when Ethan was attracted by Tianyinqin and entered the illusion in the sound of the piano, Samuel also entered his own illusion. There, the black man showed him a book, a book describing the end of the universe and the end of mankind. In that ancient world, those huge and terrifying creatures dominate everything, and humans are just some bugs swimming around in the deep sea.

Yes, hasn’t humans changed from bugs to what they are now? Why do you think these bugs are terrible now? Maybe these worms should be what they are, maybe everything returns to the original point, and this dirty and chaotic world can finally become peaceful.

As a worm, can’t you live happily?

The black man told him that his hatred would be repaid, and those who owed him would also pay the price of blood. At the end of order, everything will return to the primitive chaos, and those who have passed away and those who have not been born, those who may exist and those who may not exist, will reunite with those who are still alive. Perhaps that is a real paradise, right? Samuel thought in a daze.

Every next layer is almost a similar scene, but there are more and more monsters behind the iron fence. Samus could no longer use “them” to describe these monsters in his heart, and he could no longer regard them as his companions. The swollen and wet monsters squirmed in the dark, making weird sounds like coughing or grunting. These things are usually very aggressive after seeing Samus, but as soon as they notice Ethan, they will calm down immediately, and even crawl down, as if they were seeing their own king. And Ethan was in the dark, dirty and twisted corridor, but there was no sense of disobedience. His black clothes appeared to be exceptionally harmonious with him at the moment, as if he should have belonged to such black.

They met patrollers on the fourth and fifth floors. When those people first saw them, they didn’t seem to believe their eyes, but immediately took out their laser guns and ordered them not to move. But obviously, these people are not Ethan’s opponents. When terrible tentacles appeared behind him, and when his body burned through by the laser recovered in an instant, the guards on patrol were already scared to move. Obviously there are those who still remember to press the alarm for help, but before they could move, they were already strangled by Ethan’s tentacles and thrown to the side of the iron fence.

Then, Samuel saw the bloated monsters smashing the guard’s head to the ground alive, devouring the flesh on his face. The screaming sound of the guards caused the monsters in the surrounding cages to cheer with excitement, and they slammed into the iron fence, causing slime to splash. It’s as if a grudge has been avenged.

Ethan looked at the scene of the guard being eaten indifferently, and turned to look at Samuel, “Don’t you think that the number of guards is a bit too small?”

Samuel was disgustingly speechless at this time, and didn’t want to answer Ethan’s question. But Ethan really felt something was wrong. He was almost certain that this building was the bait in the center of the trap. I’m afraid that when they find Samuel’s father, they are already in jail.

He doesn’t believe that there are no surveillance cameras in these corridors. Probably some people are looking at him right now, trying to figure out what his abilities are and how lethal he is. This is a test field, a prison to imprison him. If he was more suspicious, he might think that Samuel was also part of this plan, the messenger who brought him here. After all, Samuel is the only one who will not hurt him.

But Ethan doesn’t care about these.

He took a steady step, step by step upward. Darkness condenses around him, turning into his extended arms. A strange sense of power filled his body, and the howls of monsters around him stopped in his ears but all cheered.

Finally, they arrived on the first floor without any iron fences or prisons. There is no window here, only clean concrete walls and some concrete columns. Tubai’s fluorescent lamp will illuminate all around. There is only one chair in the middle of the empty space. An elderly Omega sits on the chair, with gray hair and thin body, and his eyebrows are vaguely similar to Samuel. He closed his eyes and tilted his head, unable to distinguish life and death.

“Dad!” Samuel shouted and was about to rush over, but Ethan grabbed his arm.

“Wait.” Ethan looked around cautiously.

It was still an empty and quiet space, without a trace of sound.

Samuel couldn’t wait long ago, and he rushed over. Ethan had to follow behind and walk forward slowly. Those tentacles with powerful olfactory organs came out from the back of the neck again, fluttering up and down, sniffing the smell in the air.

“Dad! Wake up!” Samuel shook his father on the chair, but he didn’t notice Ethan’s change, and looked up.

At this moment, an extremely wide net fell from the sky, and a faint blue light glowed between the fine meshes. Ethan instinctively stretched out the sharp-toothed or spiked tentacles to cut the net, but at the moment of contact, it shrank as if it were being burned, and at the same time he let out a cry of pain in his mouth. When the net fell on his body, the burning stinging intensified several times, and the horses on his body rose up and burst into smoke, and the skin that came into contact with the net was quickly blackened and carbonized.

He recognized the radiation that was contaminated on the Internet, that was the radiation from the Egg of Order God!

He never expected that the Earth Alliance would have such a thing. Could it be that Eve Star revealed something to them?

The Egg of Preface God, the thing that once helped him suppress mutation, has now become his poison…

“Ethan!” Samuel rushed up to help him, but in an instant a laser beam glided across his cheek, wiping out a burning wound with a deterrent sign. Many heavily armed soldiers were wrapped in tide from all directions, and aimed their guns at Samuel and Ethan, who was curled up in the net and emitting smoke.

Ethan doesn’t seem to see those, he just feels very painful and wants to struggle, but the more he struggles, the more painful it is, just like a lot of hot soldering irons are wrapped around him. The muscles all over his body were so tight that they were twitching, but he finally resisted it and did not continue to scream.

In pain, he raised a pair of green eyes burning with anger, and saw the man standing in the distance who appeared to be the leader of these soldiers in neat suits.

The man was a tall, middle-aged Alpha, slightly bald, with gloomy eyes staring at him far away. Seeing that he finally gave up the struggle, he walked in some. He glanced at Samuel and said to him, “You did a great job, now you can take your father away.”

Samus gritted his teeth and stared at him, “You promised you won’t hurt him!”

“This hurt is not enough for him.” The man said in a silent voice, “You didn’t take the initiative to inform the government after you brought him back. I can throw you back into the forbidden city just because of this. Take advantage of me Haven’t changed your mind yet, get out.”

“You bastard!” Samuel said he was about to rush to beat him, but he heard Ethan yell with pain, “Samuel! Don’t be stupid! Take your dad away!”

At this time Samuel remembered that there were dozens of gunpoints at him and his father around him. He gritted his teeth at the man, and at the same time looked in Ethan’s direction with a look that was not only guilt but also worry. Ethan stared at him, and shook his head slowly.

Samuel clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and finally turned and carried his unconscious father on his back. Upon seeing this, the officer ordered a small group of soldiers to “send” Samuel out.

Seeing Samus walking away, Ethan finally relaxed a little. The terrible pain is even a little numb now. It seems that this net is only contaminated with the radiation of the Egg of Order God, and it does not have the power of the real Egg of Order God. Otherwise, he might have been severely burned now.

“Ethan Eldridge.” The Alpha slowly walked up to him and looked down at him condescendingly. “A monster with tentacles all over, the source of infection of this great plague, I didn’t expect it to be a seemingly handless monster. The scholar of the power of the chicken.”

Ethan remained silent, staring at him coldly.

“I am Colonel Sasha of the Special Affairs Office of the Earth Alliance. From now on you are no longer inhuman, but you are not a citizen of the Earth Alliance. You will be treated as an alien species and sent to the scientific research institution of the Special Affairs Office. For our experts to study the serum of the plague.” Alpha stared at him with a look full of disgust and hatred, and coldly pronounced, “Although I want to burn your disgusting monster in human skin to ashes immediately, for The people to eliminate harm.”

Ethan suddenly laughed, and the burns on his face were also distorted, looking very scary.

“I’m a disgusting monster. I think those of you who burn them to death regardless of whether the infected are conscious or not are real monsters?” Ethan’s green eyes swept across every soldier around him. In fact, they still remember who they are, and they also have memories of the past. Although they do perceive a lot of things they could not perceive before, the desire to eat raw meat at the initial stage of infection will force them to lose control and become aggressive, but once After that stage, they will be calmer. They are still human in their hearts. Just because they look ugly and because they can no longer make human voices, you don’t try to communicate with them, just think that they have become monsters. .”

On the way, he heard the accusations of those monsters full of fear and hatred in the dark. They watched friends or relatives who were sent with them were burnt to coke, and watched the guards use thick and long iron forks to fork the bodies that had been burned to coke. Sometimes the guards didn’t even wait until they were completely bugs, and set them on fire with terrible flamethrowers.

In such torture, even if there are people’s memories, they only have hatred, endless hatred. They gave up their identity as humans and completely regarded humans as natural enemies.

Ethan looked at some soldiers who seemed to be stung by his words, and other soldiers who couldn’t hear what he said or refused to believe, and finally fixed his eyes on Colonel Sasha. He suddenly shouted, “Why do we say that we are monsters, but you are not?!”

In the echo, a terrible, deafening roar suddenly rang from below the floor, like a thunder and rolling.
