Chapter 398: Toad, Scorpion, Alien Egg
In the pitch-black **Mine**, the sound of **Creature** **claws** scraping against the **Cliff Face** echoed. At the bottom of the mine shaft, hundreds of meters deep, within a **Mining Area** used for stacking and **screening** **ore**, in the pitch-black, several **Dark Iron Blood** stood on the conveyor bridge used for transporting **ore**, watching as **Alien Egg** with shiny black carapaces crawled out of the **Passage** in all directions.
These **Adult** **Alien Egg** were biting with their mouths and **drag**ging with their **Tail**s, pulling and throwing the **Corpse** of their "**Prey**" into the **Pit** below.
At the bottom of the **Pit**, on the scattered rocks, sticky, oval-shaped **Alien Egg**, each over half a meter tall, opened their petal-like **mouthparts**. From these **egg**, **Alien Larva** resembling catfish crawled out.
These small things with sharp **Fangs** agilely pounced on the "**Prey**" **Corpse** and began to feast. As they ate more **Flesh and Blood** **Food**, their **Body Size** also began to rapidly expand.
From half a foot long, they grew to two feet, three feet, one meter, finally growing into **Adult** killing machines approaching three meters tall.
Once these **Alien Egg** grew into **Adult**s, they would actively leave this **Hatching** area and follow the **Mine** **Passage** to the surface to hunt. At the bottom of the **Mine** **Pit**, the dense, black mass of **Alien Egg** and **Alien Larva** was so concentrated it couldn't help but remind one of the scene of **Afghanistan**'s **Family/Clan** raising catfish.
However, compared to the fish feed given by the breeders in **Afghanistan**'s **Family/Clan**, these **Alien Larva** required a large amount of **Flesh and Blood** to grow quickly.
As for the Facehugger, that **Normal** parasitic method had long been abandoned by these **Alien** **Race** who had undergone **Gene Modification**. The current **Alien** **Race**, after several **Genetic Adjustment**, were even more fierce and **Terror**izing.
Two hundred kilometers away from the forced-landed Predator **Spaceship** was a desolate **Small Town**. The houses here were all built using local red mountain rock. Because it bordered a rich red **Crystal** **Mining Area**, this **Small Town** was once prosperous. Thinking back, every day at least dozens of Small **Spaceship** and Shuttle came to the **Small Town** to rest, transferring from here to the **Mining Area**.
These **ore** Procurement agents brought considerable wealth to the **Small Town**. The **Resident**s of the **Small Town** also made a fortune by selling some Specialty Product and providing Alcohol, Food, and lodging. However, good times don't last forever. There would always be a day when the **Mine** was depleted. When the Mining Industry **Lord** shut down the last machine, the decline of the **Small Town** was inevitable.
Now the **Small Town** was desolate, with the strong Wind Sound blowing Yellow Sand through it. The broken **Window** occasionally creaked.
Even though it was daytime, the **Small Town** was empty. No one was foolish. The huge **Spaceship** overhead almost covered the sky. Unsure of the **Spaceship**'s intentions, many people chose to hide. Some **Miner** with a bit of savings chose to drive old Tool Cart to the **Mine** **Pit** for Safety.
As for the others, they all locked their **Door** and hid at home. Whether the sturdy stone houses would actually have any Effect, they didn't know. This was the only **Method** they, the people at the bottom, could think of.
Clang-a-lang—
Clang-a-lang—
Clang-a-lang—
Amidst the howling Wind Sound, a metallic scraping sound mixed with stone echoed...
"Sniff, sniff!"
At the entrance of the **Small Town**, a five-meter-tall Muscle **Giant** appeared outside the **Small Town**. The area where his **Nostrils** should be, which was not covered by **Skin** and only had two black **Hole**s, twitched twice, as if smelling some kind of Aura.
He was **drag**ging a thick engineering hammer, which looked like it was used by mining vehicles to excavate and Shattered Rock. The rusty Hammer Head was now stained with clumps of Foul Blood, leaving trails of Bloodstain on the **Ground**.
The Muscle **Giant** walked into the **Small Town** holding the long-handled **Giant** Hammer. His Sense of Smell seemed very sharp. In a short while, he arrived in front of a house, raised his **Giant** Hammer, and smashed towards the house.
"Boom!"
The sturdy red mountain rock **Wall** was smashed down by more than half with one swing of his hammer, revealing several trembling **Toad** inside.
Accompanied by a mournful Scream, the Muscle **Giant** reached his large hand into the house, grabbed a **Toad**, and squeezed hard. Blood Water immediately flowed out from between his **Fist**.
Listening to the **Toad**'s Wailing inside the house, the Muscle **Giant**'s face, not covered by **Skin**, revealed a chilling Smile. He seemed to greatly Enjoy their cries.
He brought his **Fist** to his mouth and stuffed the bloody mess into his mouth, chewing loudly. Blood Water overflowed from the corners of his mouth, looking like an Asura from **Hell**.
"You Monster, I'll fight you!"
Inside the stone house, a **Toad** saw this tragic scene, let out a loud cry, and rushed out of the stone house, holding a thick, long-barreled iron pipe with both hands, aiming it at the Muscle **Giant**.
With a loud Explosion, accompanied by a cloud of gunpowder Smoke and Dust dissipating, dense Steel Ball hit the Muscle **Giant**'s **Chest** squarely.
"Did it hit?" The **Toad**'s eyelids fluttered rapidly. An expensive, old Energy Gun was sky-high in the **Small Town**. He was just a scavenger sifting through scraps in an abandoned minefield.
Even an old Energy Gun was something he couldn't afford, and the subsequent Energy Source replenishment for the Energy Gun was an astronomical figure for him.
However, considering the Safety of his Family, he still tried every **Method** to modify a gunpowder-fired Weapons using Steel Pipe from the minefield and gunpowder.
"Roar!"
As the Gunsmoke dissipated, the **Toad** looked in despair at the Steel Ball embedded in the Muscle **Giant**'s **Body**. The Steel Ball were only embedded in the surface layer of the **Giant**'s Muscle. As the Big Guy moved, the Steel Ball clattered and fell to the **Ground**.
"Lily, take your Younger Brother and sister and run!"
When the **Toad** saw the Muscle **Giant** opening his large hand to grab him, he didn't run away. Instead, after a Bellow, he pulled out a sharp small Blade from his **Body** and rushed towards the Muscle **Giant**.
*Chii!* The **Toad**'s small Blade was fiercely plunged into the Muscle **Giant**'s **Palm**. However, the feeling upon impact made the **Toad** feel like he was stabbing a Rock with a small Blade.
Before he could react, the palm, which was larger than his entire **Body**, had already swung towards him.
The **Toad** was sent flying dozens of meters, smacking against a stone **Wall** with a splat. Amidst the Flesh and Blood, only his two legs twitched unconsciously.
"Hoo!"
The Muscle **Giant** retracted his palm, his Gaze falling upon the few **Toad** who had slipped out of the stone house. A trace of brutal cruelty flashed in his **Eyes**. Striding with his two long legs, he reached behind the few **Toad** in one stride, bringing his **Giant** Hammer down on their **Head**.
*Splatter!*
Blood Water splattered, staining the **Small Town**'s road. The road paved with red mountain stone was smashed into a two-meter-deep **Pit** by the Muscle **Giant**'s hammer. His large **Foot** stepped through the bloody mud in the **Pit** as he strode towards another stone house.
For a time, mournful Wailing, cries for help, the whooshing Sound of Breaking Air from Energy Beam, and the Explosion Sound of gunpowder echoed chaotically throughout the **Small Town**.
Soon, all these Voices disappeared. Only the sound of metal scraping the **Ground**, accompanied by heavy footsteps, grew fainter and fainter.
On the **Yellow Sand Plain**, a dozen Land Shuttle flew at a Low Altitude, about two to three meters above the **Ground**. Below was a long Refugees team composed of several hundred people.
