The stitched-up abomination was hot on its heels!
Su Hui continuously used the launcher to fire incendiary bombs and acid bombs, trying to slow down the Abominations' advance and clear out the annoying zombie dogs.
Harley, on the other hand, used her agility and accurate marksmanship to constantly harass the Abomination and draw its attention.
However, the defense and vitality of the stitched-up abomination are truly terrifying.
The flames of the incendiary bomb could only temporarily hinder it, and the wounds caused by the acid bomb slowly healed under its strange self-healing ability.
Its massive body rampaged through the corridor, easily smashing up lab benches, metal cabinets, and even walls that were blocking its way!
The laboratory doors on both sides of the corridor, the abandoned experimental equipment, the scattered corpses... were all as fragile as paper in front of its massive body, easily smashed and crushed!
They're simply unstoppable!
Su Hui and Harley could only make use of the complex terrain on the fifth floor to move between the various laboratories and rooms covered by the fungal carpet.
puff!
Su Hui seized the opportunity and cleaved the head of a zombie dog that pounced on him with a single stroke.
Harley also cooperated perfectly, firing her revolver continuously, and blowing the head off another zombie dog that was trying to sneak up on Su Hui.
The two worked together, struggling to clear out the zombie dogs.
The Abomination's advance showed no sign of stopping; on the contrary, it drew ever closer!
The heavy footsteps, like a death knell, pounded on their hearts.
We walked through corridor after corridor covered with a purplish-black fungal carpet.
The further they went in, the stronger the mental pressure emanating from the fleshy sac became, and the more intense the strange smell in the air grew.
The surrounding fungal carpet writhed more violently, and some tiny, tentacle-like things even emerged from the carpet, trying to wrap around their ankles, but the two easily avoided or cut them off.
at last!
Suddenly, everything became clear. Plum blossoms, you are there, I sing of you, empty plum blossoms, I haven't thought of you, I haven't thought of you...
A scene of utter devastation appeared ahead!
It appeared to be the central area of the laboratory, but the entire ceiling, along with the floor above, had collapsed, creating a huge hole through which the steel structure of the floors above could be seen.
Large amounts of rubble, steel bars, and experimental equipment debris were piled up together.
Clearly, this is the place Emily mentioned where the purple crystal fell.
And right in the middle of these ruins!
A deeply disturbing sight came into view.
It was a huge, purplish-black fleshy sac, beating slowly like a heart!
It is three meters tall and at least one meter in diameter.
The surface of the fleshy sac was covered with twisted purple blood vessel-like patterns, emitting an eerie purple halo. Countless thick, purplish-black mycelia spread out from the bottom of the fleshy sac, connecting the entire fungal carpet on the fifth floor, like a huge, living tumor!
Each pulse emanates a heart-pounding energy fluctuation and a mental pressure.
Almost suffocating!
And in the center of that pulsating fleshy sac, a sharply defined purple crystal can be vaguely seen!
The crystal was about the size of a fist, radiating a dreamlike luster, as if it contained infinite energy. It was this crystal that supported the pulsation of the entire fleshy sac and was the source of all the strange changes on the fifth floor!
At this moment, the crystal, which is suspected to be the core of the source crystal, is almost completely encased in a fleshy sac, with only a small part of it exposed.
The fleshy sac is absorbing its energy, undergoing some kind of terrifying incubation!
Source Crystal!
It's bigger and purer than any source crystal I've ever seen before!
Su Hui's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably!
But soon, the scene before him brought him back to reality.
The area around the fleshy sac is not empty.
A dozen or so monsters of various shapes and sizes lay prostrate around the fleshy sac like loyal guards.
There were previously seen bone spur deformities, which seemed to be larger in size and had more grotesque bone spurs.
There were also several monsters I'd never seen before, resembling a combination of a giant spider and a mantis, their scythe-like forelimbs gleaming with a metallic sheen.
Some resemble humans completely eroded by fungal carpets, their bodies covered in twisted tumors and hyphae; others are like deformed creations forcibly pieced together from various organisms, exuding a chaotic and dangerous aura.
They lay in silent slumber, their scarlet or murky eyes fixed intently on Su Hui and Harley, who had intruded into this forbidden area.
The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the rhythmic, muffled throbbing of the sac.
Rumble——! ! !
Suddenly, a violent impact and the loud crash of collapsing walls came from the passage behind us!
The massive and oppressive figure of the Stitched Abomination smashed through the last barrier and appeared at the entrance to the ruins!
The wounds on its body, corroded by strong acid, were still emitting white smoke, but the recovery speed was astonishing. At this moment, only charred marks remained, and the purplish-black blood no longer flowed.
The last three surviving mutated zombie dogs followed it like ghosts, emitting low, threatening growls.
The two were completely surrounded!
Su Hui felt a dull ache in his temples again.
The closer one gets to the fleshy sac, the stronger the invisible mental interference becomes.
It's like countless fine needles piercing the brain, constantly stirring up negative emotions and primal desires deep within.
Even with his mental attribute at a high level of 24, he felt dizzy and irritable, and his thinking seemed to become sluggish.
Incoherent babbling kept echoing in my mind!
Fortunately, Harley's condition does not seem to have been affected.
No, it should be said that Harley's inherent 'madness' gives her an advantage over Su Hui in this environment.
"Harley!"
Su Hui made a quick and clear decision.
"You go destroy that freak's sac and take the crystal! I'll hold off the big guys!"
He pointed to the faintly visible purple crystal at the center of the fleshy sac.
This is the only way to survive!
Harley looked up abruptly, the struggle in her eyes instantly replaced by a frenzied fighting spirit.
"Hehe! Leave it to me, honey!"
She licked her dry lips and revealed her signature, dangerous smile once again.
Su Hui said no more and immediately raised the simple launcher in his hand.
His gaze swept over the monsters surrounding the fleshy sac.
We must first clear a path for Harley, and at the same time weaken the flesh capsule itself as much as possible!
Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed the remaining powerful incendiary bombs and acid-corroding bombs at the lurking monsters around the flesh sac!
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The incendiary bomb exploded first, and the orange-red flames instantly engulfed several monsters that were relatively close. The high temperature ignited the mycelium and rotting flesh on their bodies, producing crackling sounds and shrill screams.
Immediately afterwards, the acid bombs fell, splashing the dark green liquid onto the monster and the creep.
Zizzi——!
A sickening corrosive sound rang out, accompanied by acrid white smoke. The monster that was hit writhed and struggled in agony as its tough skin was rapidly dissolved, revealing its disgusting internal tissue.
The flesh sac was rapidly carbonized under high temperature and melted under the corrosion of sulfuric acid bomb, instantly sinking into a large area and exposing the bright red, constantly writhing internal tissue that was being continuously roasted!
Thick, foul-smelling, purplish-black smoke billowed into the sky!
"hiss--!!!"
A sharp buzzing sound seemed to vibrate the air, and the surroundings distorted!
The fleshy sac emitted a silent yet painful scream that reached the depths of the soul!
The monsters that had been lying in wait around roared at the silent command of the fleshy sac and charged toward Su Hui and Harley, ignoring the flames and acid on their bodies!
After firing the clearing ammunition, Su Hui immediately aimed the launcher at the oncoming stitched abomination!
He loaded the last two acid bombs and the last white phosphorus incendiary bomb into the container!
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Three projectiles shot in a triangular formation toward the massive body of the Abomination!
Acid bombs will be prioritized for impact!
Snapped!Snapped!
The dark green liquid was splashed again onto the already battered and rotting flesh of the Abomination, and the wounds that had just begun to heal were torn apart and deepened by the strong acid!
Roar! ! !
The Abomination let out a deafening roar of pain, but its steps did not falter in the slightest!
Immediately afterwards, the white phosphorus incendiary bottle exploded in its chest!
boom!
The viscous white gel splattered everywhere, and immediately burned violently upon contact with air, emitting a pale white light and high temperature!
The white phosphorus flames clung tightly to the abomination's body like maggots, ignoring its outer skin's defenses and scorching the flesh beneath!
An indescribable, acrid smell of burning permeated the air!
This time, the Abomination's massive body finally showed a slight hesitation!
The damage to the flesh sac and the injury inflicted by Su Hui drove it into a frenzy, but the burning properties of white phosphorus made it difficult to extinguish for a while!
After firing all his ammunition, Su Hui threw away the launcher, gripped the [Steel-Cutting] longsword tightly with both hands, and stared coldly at the abomination in front of him, which resembled a demon from hell.
There is no way out.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the sharp pain in his chest and the mental discomfort.
Either kill it, or be torn to pieces!
A fight to the death!
Meanwhile, Harley has already made her move!
The instant Su Hui fired his ammunition to draw fire, she darted out like a cheetah, her target the massive fleshy mass in the distance!
The "Sweet" revolver drew a graceful arc in her hand.
boom! boom!
Precise bullets were fired at the monsters that rushed out from around the fleshy sac, enraged by Su Hui's attacks.
puff!puff!
The bullet easily tore the monster's body apart, splattering purplish-black blood.
The fleshy sac seemed to have sensed the real threat!
Om-!
The purplish-black fleshy sac throbbed violently, emitting wave after wave of increasingly powerful mental shocks!
The surrounding monsters were catalyzed by it, becoming even more ferocious!
Their eyes turned blood red, and their speed and power suddenly increased to a whole new level. They charged towards Harley fearlessly!
On the other hand, Su Hui's situation is even more difficult!
P.S.: Writing battle scenes is exhausting, and I also have to control the word count during the recommendation period. I want to write more lighthearted stories instead of angst-filled ones. After the story is released, I'll try to write more lighthearted angst-filled ones.
