chapter 0108 part 2
*Hiss hiss hiss...*
*Crack!* A single strike from the Cane impaled this wolf-sized Xenomorph Runner to the Ground. The Cane, condensed with Tang Song's True Essence, almost pierced through this Xenomorph Runner's skull.
The remaining half of its head was almost embedded in the floor tiles. It thrashed its Tail, letting out bursts of hissing.
Green, strong acidic Bodily Fluid continuously sprayed from its mouth.
The Cane stuck in its skull was corroded by this strong acid, immediately emitting bursts of *hissing* sounds.
Rolling White Smoke rose from the head of the Cane. Tang Song extended his left hand and fanned the White Smoke away. Behind him, a wisp of True Essence condensed, transforming into an invisible Great Hand that reached out.
This True Essence Great Hand, about five or six meters in size, identical to Tang Song's right hand from the palm lines to the finger joints, grabbed this Xenomorph Runner in its hand.
It was as if an ordinary person was holding a fleshy worm in their palm.
*Crunch crunch!*
With a thought, Tang Song's True Essence Great Hand's five fingers began to contract inward. A clearly audible Bone cracking sound came. The True Essence Great Hand clenched into a Fist. From the gaps in the Fist, streams of thick green Blood splattered out, *hissing* and corroding the stone Ground.
"A bit of a waste!"
The True Essence Great Hand dissipated. On the Tunnel's stone bricks, only a pile of black and green rotten meat remained, with green corrosive Bodily Fluid flowing, leaving the stone Ground pitted and uneven from the erosion.
Boss Tang rubbed his chin. From the inside of his Suit jacket, a small men's wallet flew out and landed in his palm.
"Go!"
The Five Yin Money Pouch opened, and a surge of Five Yin Black Fiend poured out, sweeping towards the Ground. The entire Tunnel immediately became clean, not to mention the Xenomorph Runner's Corpse, even the few blue-gray Scarabs that had quietly appeared at some point were gone.
"Tang!"
Tang Song put the wallet back in his pocket, turned around, leaning on his Cane. In the Tunnel behind him, a group of people were orderly retreating.
Walking at the very front was Charles Bishop Weyland, wearing a full set of Exoskeleton Armor! "Everything inside is ready, the demolition is about to happen, let's retreat further!"
Charles Bishop Weyland's Gaze swept over the empty Tunnel and said to Tang Song.
...
*Rumble rumble!*
A muffled sound transmitted into the Tunnel. The Predator was currently spraying Medi-Kit Spray onto the cuts on its body.
A half-foot long cut was clearly visible on its chest. Even after applying Medi-Kit Spray, the Wound was still oozing Blood.
In the Tunnel behind it, lay the Corpses of two Cobra Soldiers.
Listening to the Explosion Sound, the Predator simply treated the Wounds on its body and silently began to head towards the Direction from which the Explosion Sound came.
In the silent Tunnel, not long after the Predator left, two Xenomorph Runners darted out from somewhere unknown, greedily devouring the scattered Corpses of the Cobra Soldiers.
...
After a muffled Explosion Sound, Charles Bishop Weyland, ignoring the rising Smoke and Dust, led his men directly into the demolished Tunnel.
Tang Song naturally followed among them. Storm Shadow, with two Cobra Soldiers, quietly dispersed to guard him.
The Crowd came to the demolition point where the explosives were installed and saw that the Room, along with the entire Ground, had collapsed downwards. The only Things that remained unchanged were perhaps the two Stone Gates with Relief Carvings.
The lower level space where the Room had collapsed was Pitch black. A Mercenary took a Flare from his bag and threw it down.
A string of Firelight rose. In the Pitch black void, by the fleeting Firelight, one could vaguely see a spacious Room. Several Iron Chains, as thick as arms, hung horizontally, and something seemed to be bound in the middle.
*Clang clang...*
As if sensing living Creatures, the bound Alien Queen struggled fiercely, and the sound of Iron Chains colliding constantly rang out.
"It's here, this is it, that's right, this is the Alien Queen cultivated by the Engineer. The Engineer's Spaceship must be below. As long as I can find his Gene Sequencing chamber, I can regain my youth!"
Charles Bishop Weyland, using the night vision function of his Exoskeleton Suit, was the first to clearly see the situation in the lower level space. When he saw the Alien Queen constantly laying Alien Eggs, his excited feelings were beyond words.
"Jacob, send your bugs down and clear a path! Everyone else, prepare to go down!"
Charles Bishop Weyland saw clearly that the Room below was full of Alien Eggs laid by the Alien Queen, and the entire Room was covered in thick, corrosive Liquid.
Hundreds of Alien Eggs were half-open, and who knows how many Facehuggers were eagerly waiting.
Hearing Charles's Order, Jacob began to chant ancient Egyptian hymns praising Anubis.
*Rustle rustle* sounds continuously came. The Scarabs swarm, which had disappeared to who knows where just now, emerged again from some nook or cranny.
They surged like a tide into the lower Room.
Hundreds of Facehuggers sensed the aura of living Things and leaped out of the Alien Eggs one after another, then directly fell into the swarm of bugs.
*Rustle rustle...*
Countless Scarabs opened their sharp mouthparts, tearing and devouring the "crabs" that were delivered to them.
Facehuggers that were bitten to death or injured sprayed corrosive green Blood, and large areas of Scarabs were corroded into a pile of thick Liquid.
However, the sheer number of Scarabs was simply too great. These tide-like Scarabs, even just by sheer quantity, were enough to pile up and kill these hundred-plus Facehuggers.
In just a few minutes, on the Ground of the lower Room, the dense Alien Eggs, like Warheads, had all disappeared.
Watching the Scarabs swarm clear the Alien Eggs from the Ground, Jacob made a gesture to the two Mercenaries under his command. The two hooked onto the Relief Carving on the nearby wall with their Grappling Hooks.
Flipping over, they leaped down into the lower Room.
From the blown-open Room to the Ground below, the height difference was about a dozen meters.
The two Mercenaries, using their Grappling Hooks, only moved twice on the wall before rolling onto the Ground.
The two cautiously checked the Room with their Guns and then signaled for the people above to come down.
Charles Bishop Weyland looked at the Ground height and leaped down directly.
*Rumble rumble*
From a height of over ten meters, the over one-ton Exoskeleton Armor landing directly shook the wall, and the thick Iron Chains collided with each other. The bound Alien Queen let out a painful hiss from its mouth.
Seeing their Boss go down, Charles Bishop Weyland's Mercenaries lowered Ropes and Grappling Hooks one after another, climbing down to the lower Room.
"Boss!"
At this moment, Storm Shadow and Ana approached Tang Song.
Boss Tang turned back, looking at the dusty Tunnel, and drew an old-fashioned double-barreled Shotgun with his backhand. He aimed at the end of the Tunnel and pulled the Trigger.
*Bang!* The 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells fired, and countless tiny Steel Balls instantly covered a large area of the Tunnel.
*Pffft...*
As the Smoke and Dust cleared, an Invisibility-cloaked Predator was directly revealed by Boss Tang's shot.
In its eyes on the mask, three Red Lights shone towards Tang Song's Direction, and at the same time, the cannon on its Shoulder began to focus Energy.
Tang Song kicked Storm Shadow beside him down into the lower Room. With his other hand, he pulled Ana close and floated down onto the open space in the lower Room.
*Thud!*
Storm Shadow flipped in the air, maintaining a kneeling posture, and landed kneeling in the center of the Room, though the footprint on his backside was too obvious.
*Boom!* A violent Explosion Sound from the upper Room just reached them at this moment.
"What's going on?"
Charles Bishop Weyland, who was searching for the Spaceship's whereabouts, looked up at the ceiling and saw a Predator enter Invisibility and leap down.
"Jacob!"
*Bang bang!*
Charles Bishop Weyland called out, raised the two Rifles on his Exoskeleton Armor arms, which were comparable to hand cannons, and fired several shots towards the Direction the Predator was falling.
The Predator was in mid-air and took a solid hit from Charles Bishop Weyland's Bullet.
The custom-made large Armor-Piercing Rounds directly penetrated the arm of this unlucky Predator, taking away a section of its forearm.
And with Charles Bishop Weyland's shout, the Black Person Big man Jacob at this moment began to summon the bug swarm. Countless Scarabs scurried through the Room, swarming to chase the one-armed Predator.
