The First Evolution - Chapter 533: New Mission
When Fang Linyan arrived, Jha was already dying and breathing hard, and blood spurted out from his throat.
His mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water, desperate and painful.
The wound on Jha’s chest at this time was exactly the same as the wound on the other corpses they discovered at the entrance, which was shocking!
Jha looked at Fang Linyan, panting violently, and then said intermittently,
“I’m sorry, Battery… I owe you 2 lives. Your bodies have… cough cough cough.”
At this point, he coughed violently. Even pink bubbles emerged from his throat. Upon seeing this, Lipper the Vulture hurriedly gave him a shot of battlefield stimulant. Jha’s spirit lifted immediately, saying,
“There are very lethal hidden dangers in your bodies.”
“As for the ins and outs of this matter, you just need to find the blue coat I left in the interrogation room, and then pluck the second button.”
“This button contains all the secrets. The password is juantu1980.”
Having said this, Jha’s eyes quickly dilated and his lips moved a few times before completely passing away.
Battlefield stimulants could only overdraw vitality but not heal, so Jha exhaled his last breath and closed his eyes.
At the same time, they received the prompts,
“Contractor Wrench/Contractor Vulture/Contractor Goat, you have found an important plot character: Jha.”
“The relationship between the war team leader and Jha has reached respect.”
“You learned the relevant password for the encrypted file from Jha.”
“Warning: Important Plot Character Jha died. This incident will affect subsequent evaluation and mission direction.”
“Hidden side mission activated: Coles’ Secret!”
“Mission Content: Get the hidden truth of Coles.”
They accepted the mission, then Goat opened the map on his optical brain terminal. After searching for a while, he said,
“This is a secret warehouse. The relevant location is not shown on the ordinary topographic map. We can only find it manually.”
When Fang Linyan was about to speak, he suddenly heard a dreadful scream not far away!!
This voice contained despair, pain, madness and other negative emotions. It was the kind of desperate scream that would even destroy the vocal cords.
They were shocked by the scream, and then quickly rushed over there. However, the underground warehouse was full of goods like a maze, making it inconvenient to move around.
Moreover, the 3 of them had to be careful, lest the enemy was baiting them.
About 2 minutes later, Fang Linyan discovered that a shelf more than 20 meters away had completely collapsed. A person was lying face down on the shelf, and a large amount of dark red liquid was flowing out from below.
After arriving, Goat and Vulture vigilantly searched for any signs of danger around them. Then, after [Mechanical Gyrfalcon] and Guseer were in position, they nodded to Fang Linyan and began to cover Fang Linyan who was walking toward the man.
After Fang Linyan walked up, he turned the man over and took a deep breath. It turned out that this man died in a similar way to Jha. There was also a blood hole the size of a bowl on his chest. Just watching his death felt extremely tragic.
However, after Goat walked up, he immediately frowned and said,
“Wait, something is amiss!”
He pointed at the man’s chest and said,
“Didn’t you notice? Jha’s chest was directly pierced by the tail, from the front to the back!”
“This person’s back is intact. The wound is only on his chest.”
Fang Linyan observed it and immediately said in shock,
“Look, his ribs and sternum are in a valgus state. Under normal circumstances, this kind of injury should be caused by the monster’s tail piercing into the back of the heart and then piercing through the chest, but his back is intact.”
Vulture said solemnly,
“I think I know how this wound was formed.”
He bent down, then he cut open the chest with a flying knife. Amidst, the horrifying cutting sound, everyone was shocked.
Behind this person’s sternum, there was a strange organ similar to a gallbladder.
There were dense folds inside this organ, and there was a large amount of strange green mucus inside. When the flying knife pokes it, the mucus will stretch to an astonishing length.
After cutting open, the sternum could be seen broken into 18 pieces. It was opened from the inside out!
Vulture said,
“This person has been infested by the mutant larvae! After the mutant matures in his body, it bursts out of his chest from the inside out!!”
“This moment of childbirth is undoubtedly very painful for the host, so this was the cause of the dreadful scream before.”
Having said this, Vulture turned over the internal organs again and said,
“You see, there is an obvious defect in his liver, and half of his kidney is missing.”
“So after the mutant broke out of the chest and killed the host, it retracted into its body and ate for the first time before leaving. It consumed the most nutritious, boneless, and tender innards.”
“I suspect that if we don’t come, this monster will continue to eat until it gets enough nutrition before leaving.”
After hearing his words, Fang Linyan and Goat had a gloomy mood, because they both thought of a terrible fact!
So Goat immediately said,
“Let’s complete the mission quickly!”
This proposal was immediately unanimously agreed. They began to move forward in search of Jha’s coat.
During the search, Fang Linyan suddenly said,
“Vulture, the dissection you just performed was very skillful. Did you learn it specifically?”
Vulture shook his head and said,
“No, when I entered Space, the flying knife was my only means of protection, so in the real world, I happened to have the conditions for this. Therefore, I specially studied the structure and vital points of the human body.”
“In this case, at least when fighting humans, I will be able to fight more effectively and cause more damage with flying knives.”
Goat wondered,
“You have the conditions for this? This is an anatomy of the human body!”
Vulture smiled and said,
“My wife is a first-class forensic doctor in Virota City. Okay, I forgot that you are not from the same world as me. -Verota City is the third largest city in my world. The city has a permanent population of more than 25 million people. She dissects at least 6 corpses every month to find the cause of death!”
Goat understood. Fang Linyan suddenly raised another question,
“The prerequisite for me to trigger this hidden mission is that the relationship with Jha reaches respect, but it can be triggered as long as it reaches friendly or above.”
“There are 2 other people with real power on the ship, namely Captain Latvis and Second Mate Sanchez. According to inference, as long as the relationship with them reaches a friendly level, the hidden main mission can also be triggered.”
“Do you think anyone can do this?”
After hearing this, Goat and Vulture muttered,
“Someone should, right? After all, there are so many contractors on the ship.”
Fang Linyan, who was exploring ahead, turned around and said,
“Then we have to hurry up, otherwise according to my experience, the mission will become competitive at the later stage! Let’s finish it early…”
As soon as he said this, he suddenly fell straight down!
Not only that, the shelves on the left and right were pushed down at the same time. The 2 mutant monsters hidden in the containers next to them made a hoarse and unpleasant cry and pounced on Vulture and Goat.
Fang Linyan fell about 5 meters downward and hit the ground hard, but he was not injured. He seemed to have fallen on something soft.
He looked up and realized that he had fallen into a large deep pit.
Under his body, there were 8 neatly arranged giant green eggs that were half a meter high. There was a lot of disgusting mucus around the giant eggs. This pit seemed to be a nest. Its environment became different from ordinary soil. The pit was completely different, covered in mucus, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell.
Just 3 meters next to Fang Linyan, there were actually 2 large standard freight boxes. The length, width and height of these freight boxes were 4 meters, 1.5 meters, and 1.5 meters respectively. They were standard boxes in interstellar transportation.
