mother of all races

Lin Xi smelled a familiar smell, that damp, with a faint smell of fish and blood.

Along with the smell, there was also an extremely viscous liquid that poured into the elevator box—like the saliva of something, it dripped down along the gap in the partition above the elevator.

Lin Xi frowned, avoiding the mucus.Just as he thought, when the slime landed on the metal, white smoke came out with a hiss.

Just like the acids secreted by Xavier before, these slimes are also highly corrosive.

"All right……"

Lin Xi muttered softly, then he raised his head and looked above himself.There are many electronic pipelines and metal plates above the elevator car.

Human eyes have no way to see the scene outside the elevator, but the alien species is different.That special perception ability allowed Lin Xi to easily outline the scene in the long, narrow and dark elevator shaft.

The broken emergency devices have long been scattered and collapsed, and the severely aged cables are loosely dragging some metal parts and dangling back and forth in the elevator shaft.

What grabbed the elevator were a few thick, thick white objects. They were very malleable, and seemed to have been stretched to the limit, and the surface was still covered with a large amount of translucent mucus.

The moment Lin Xi recognized the thing, Lin Xi's pupils shrank slightly.

It is absolutely impossible for him to forget that it was some mutant nematodes that looked like praying mantises that blocked Noah's footsteps at the last moment, and the "spider silk" ejected from the abdomen of those nematodes made even monsters like Noah unable to move. break free.

But now, it was the same thing that held them back.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi felt her heart tremble suddenly.

noah -

He repeated the simple name in his heart.

Although he knew it was dangerous, he still uncontrollably revealed his spirit.Then, he tentatively touched the big lump in the elevator shaft.

In the vision of the alien species, that thing is continuously secreting mucus, as well as that kind of "spider silk".

However, as soon as he touched the suspected Noah, the confused and dark thoughts of the mutated nematode rushed to him...

Lin Xi suddenly withdrew her mental net, and the last glimmer of hope in her eyes was instantly extinguished.

"It's that thing."

Xavier also followed Lin Xi, raised his head and looked up.

Just like Lin Xi, as the king worm, he easily recognized what was in the elevator shaft.

Xavier didn't even want to call out that name, because in its mind, Noah was a complete failure, and that guy didn't deserve a name at all.

It's just that even as a failure, Noah is stronger than it thought.Judging from the current situation, Noah seems to have solved those mantis-like mutated nematode mimics faster than they thought...

Just when Lin Xi and Xavier looked up and quietly "looked" at Noah in the elevator shaft, the elevator car, which had been stationary, began to slide down unsteadily.It wasn't that the damn mechanism had finally restarted, but that Noah, who held them back, was slowly lowering the thin and small metal box.

"Well?"

Noah's move caused Lin Xi, who was originally expressionless, to raise his eyebrows slightly. He sighed in surprise, and then fell silent again.

Xavier, who was standing near Lin Xi, was even more tense, and his gaze upwards became more and more vigilant.

This is normal, because even Xavier can feel that Noah's spirit and consciousness are still distorted and chaotic at this time, but judging from Noah's current behavior, the polluted descendant seems to be Some normality has been restored - it has reason and wisdom, and can even predict the thoughts of Lin Xi and Xavier, otherwise it would not have slowly lowered the elevator.

But the combination of these two contradictory points made Noah even more dreadful than before.

Especially considering that those nematodes are biological weapons specially bred by the Providence to target alien species, neither Lin Xi nor Xavier can determine whether the rationality shown by Noah now is a conspiracy.

Whatever it is, just kill it before it causes trouble and-

Xavier impatiently raised his hand, but before it could make a move, Lin Xi grabbed its wrist suddenly.

"No, Xavier...I want to see again..."

Lin Xi said to Xavier dryly.

"But--"

Xavier's tentacles shook, but after Lin Xi's voice fell, it finally calmed down.

In a short period of uncomfortable silence, the elevator arrived at the place Xavier and Lin Xi originally wanted to go.

This was already the middle deck of the Providence, and it was an important transportation hub, at least until the ship was completely destroyed.

Lin Xi and Xavier walked out of the elevator slowly, and then looked around. There were nearly hundreds of elevators lined up in the circular hall, and each elevator led to a different area.

In contrast, there are a large number of elevators and closed passages here. Countless pipelines and cables are gathered above the hall, and each pipeline is connected to an electronic screen, which looks like an upside-down Christmas tree from the ceiling all the way. It fell to the ground, which made the space extraordinarily messy... But that was the previous thing. At this moment, everything here is so quiet and dead.

The hall also became extraordinarily empty.

Lin Xi just stood quietly in the center of the hall, and then he turned his head to look at the elevator he came from.

The door of the elevator didn't close as expected, on the contrary, after Lin Xi left, there was a piercing metallic sound.

Wrinkles appeared on the smooth and clean metal plate, some cables were torn off, and golden-red sparks shot out... Then, the small metal box began to twist and deform at a speed visible to the naked eye, rattling non-stop , and then, it was squashed and thin all of a sudden, just like a soda can that was trampled flat.

A large amount of mucus came out, and a large group of soft things slammed straight down from the elevator shaft, pressing on the distorted elevator car, and then squeezed out from the narrow elevator door, clattering It flowed all over the place.

That was Noah.

Everything seems to be a repeat of the past.

The white nematodes crackled and slipped out of the soft and deformed body. Noah's body seemed to be a little more solid than before, but it was only a little bit.Under its translucent skin, some hideous insect organs can be vaguely seen, which obviously come from those unlucky nematode mimics.

It is conceivable that after eliminating those mantis nematodes, Noah obtained the function that they could secrete spider silk, and their flesh became Noah's own nutrient.

It can be said that Noah has become more difficult to deal with than before just from the appearance.

And those half-digested nematodes that kept coming out of his body made Xavier even more nervous.

Seeing those white and disgusting things seem to be rushing towards Lin Xi, Xavier uttered an unprecedented cry.

The special frequency makes this call full of deterrence, full of intimidation and threats that only aliens can understand.

Of course, this kind of threat can only be aimed at creatures with basic intelligence and reason, and the kind of nematodes that only have instincts will not...

The moment Lin Xi thought so, something completely unexpected happened. He looked at Noah in disbelief, and the latter trembled heavily in his deformed body.Then, as if the tide was ebbing, Noah's semi-liquid flesh and blood retreated a few steps.

Then a small hum came out from the mouthparts inlaid on the flesh and blood.

It was a distinct, begging sound.

Even Xavier was startled at this moment.

It involuntarily stopped in place, and didn't even have time to retract the mouthparts protruding from its throat.

Immediately afterwards, something even more surprising happened, Noah's body began to change.

The scarlet flesh began to condense and piece together, and then gathered together. Under extremely difficult circumstances, it pieced together a human body.

If you don't look at those white nematodes that are constantly surging, it looks quite realistic...

Noah is using the mimicry ability of nematodes to mimic humans.

It has done similar things before, and this time it seems more proficient.

Even its face—

With Xavier's increasingly sharp and evil eyes, Noah then carefully changed his face.

A face that resembled Xavier, but looked childish and younger, was slowly revealed in front of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi looked at Noah in shock, and couldn't even speak for a while.

In some parts, it still looks very scary, but if you can ignore those details, Promise now looks like a human child, or a baby version of Savile.The only difference is that, even at his youngest, Savile didn't have that long silver hair.

Of course those long silver hairs are actually...

Lin Xi's eyes quickly swept across Noah's long hair, and then turned away.

His heart beats fast, because as far as the current situation is concerned, Noah doesn't look like the kind of monster that completely collapsed due to deterioration.

In fact, it looks even smarter and more sane than before.

"Noah, is that you?"

Lin Xi couldn't help but asked tentatively.

"No...no...Noah..."

Noah repeated Lin Xi's question pitifully, his red eyes were wet, as if crystal tears were about to flow in the next second.

Then, it took a small step forward slowly.

Crackling, undigested nematodes fell out of its body again, but this time, Noah didn't let those nematodes disturb him.

After being dazed for a while, it squatted down in a panic, opened its immature hands, and tried hard to stuff those nematodes into its hair.

Some mucus was secreted from the surface of the "hair", and then it quickly wrapped the undigested gadgets.

"Noah...Noah..."

Noah seemed to be emphasizing something, and quickly ate all the nematodes that fell out.
