Advent

No matter what the reason was, during the thrilling collision and forced landing before, Raymond Morecambe... More precisely, the White Emperor tried his best to protect Alan—even if the latter It was already a cold body that no longer had any signs of breathing or life.

It is impossible for any human being to do it more perfectly than him. Those terrifying tentacles and pieces of meat are like shock-absorbing gels that isolate all possible collisions.

It wrapped Allen's body like that, and firmly protected it in its "embrace". From the aircraft being hit, to rolling, to emergency landing, in this series of almost tragic turbulence, even a piece of Not even a shard of metal fell on Allen's body.

Because all possible dangers have been isolated by the body of the White Emperor.

And his "face" is the only part of him where human traces can be seen with certainty. This face belonging to Raymond Morecambe is now clinging tightly to Allen's shoulder.

The handsome alpha man frowned, and the expression of extra pain could still be vaguely seen on his face, as if his soul still stayed at the moment when Allen died in his arms.

But from Raymond's shoulders down, everything melted into that disgusting, creepy translucent mass of pale flesh.Under this strong contrast, the monster's face appeared even more handsome, gloomy and cold, and he snuggled so closely with Allen, who had a lifeless face but still had amazing beauty.

So much so that when the two of them are together, they seem to have a beauty beyond reality.

If it weren't for the desperate escape that Rafael is going through now, the young Security Bureau official would almost have an illusion at this moment: he seems to be on the earth watching those few high-ranking officials at an art exhibition. A work of art created by a master avant-garde artist...

Alan and that thing that was pretending to be Raymond, when they were together it was like... like... they belonged to each other.

They should be together and never be apart.

Likewise, there is no one, no force in the entire universe that can separate them.

They have been an integral part of each other from the beginning of the universe, because only together, they are a complete individual.

Their interdependence is "wholeness" itself.

"Raphael—"

Sakhir shook Rafael's arm vigorously.

Raphael suspected that he must have injured his arm in the terrible crash landing because of too much force before. When Sakhir touched his shoulder, a sharp pain hit Rafael and he woke up instantly.

Rafael screamed, staggered back a few steps, and then looked at Sakhir angrily.

"Don't touch me, my arm might be broken!"

Rafael yelled.

Sakhir frowned and looked at him. Rafael's arms and shoulders had now formed a rather strange angle, which could be seen even through the uniform.

This time, his brows furrowed even tighter...

"You're dislocated."

Sakhir said.

Then before Rafael recovered, Sakhir had already stepped forward, and then pressed hard on the dislocation between his arm and his arm, and broke it hard...

……

Rafael's screams can almost speed up the collapse of the Tianmao human military base by a few seconds.

God knows how much effort Raphael has spent so that he didn't hit Sakhir's face with his fist at that moment.

Well, it should be said that when he recovered from the pain that paralyzed his soul, Sakhir had left him and walked towards the cabin on his own, and did not give Raphael this Chance.

"What are you looking at?"

After hesitating on the spot for a few seconds, Rafael bared his teeth and came to Sakhir's side with a distorted expression.

Sakhir was expressionless, looking at Alan and the Naga emperor who was holding Alan.

Then he stretched out his hand again, and lightly touched Raymond's pale flesh under Rafael's horrified gaze.

Those lumps of flesh still look ferocious and soft, but after touching them, you will find that even the most complete part of Raymond's body has long lost its vitality.

He now feels like dried plastic paper, very fragile.

After Sakhir's finger touched it lightly, the white emperor's skin broke, exposing the mucus inside.

The mucus exuded a very stale bloody smell, and slowly flowed out from the cut in the skin.

The stench filled the air, and even Sakhir couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes.

He and Rafael looked at each other. Although there were frequent quarrels along the way, the tacit understanding between the two of them here allowed them to complete the communication without even using words.

Obviously, the White Emperor Raymond in the back cabin is dead now after doing his best to protect Alan's body, at least... this part of their spaceship has long since died.

Sakhir then sampled the strange corpse beyond human common sense expressionlessly, and this action further confirmed the judgment of the two humans present.

The part of the body left in front of them now really does not show the slightest activity.

"... What do you think happened to him? Did he die from exhaustion because he wanted to protect Alan's body?"

After confirming that the White Emperor was dead, Rafael silently took a few steps back.

Knowing that the other party was already a corpse, Rafael always lingered in his mind the scene of Raymond disintegrating from a complete male human being into a large mass of rotten flesh in front of them.

The sense of fear brought about by that terrifying scene still lingered in Rafael's heart, so that even at this time, he couldn't help but want to distance himself from the corpse of the Naga emperor.

It's just that what surges in his heart now is not the previous fear... but an instinctive avoidance.

It was as if an angel was whispering in his ear, telling him to be careful, and be more careful.

……

Rafael looked at the motionless rotten meat in Sakhir's hand and Alan's still beautiful and compelling corpse, his lips trembled slightly, and after a pause, he asked again: "I think he should be very powerful, I mean Yes, the Naga are terrifying, and Raymond...Raymond is the emperor of the Naga, shouldn't he be able to easily destroy all the enemies, right?"

Why is he dead here now?

Raphael wasn't quite sure if Raymond (if he could still be called Raymond) turned into that ghost, whether he still had human sanity.

But now judging from his actions to protect Alan so closely, I am afraid that even if it is transformed into a mixture of rotten meat and tentacles, I am afraid that this most terrifying monster in human history still has more or less human emotions. .

At least... His love for Allen is unquestionable.

In order to keep Alan's body from being damaged, the White Emperor was seriously injured. Except for the part close to Alan, which still maintained a barely complete shape, all other parts of the deformed alien body had been cut to blood by shattered metal fragments. Fuzzy, like fleshy paste, even the Naga body with strong regenerative ability, it is impossible to be resurrected in this situation.

……

"This is just an ordinary war and an ordinary spaceship forced landing. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a naga to die like this."

Sakhir shook his head, directly denying Rafael's guess.

"There must be some external factors affecting him. The top-secret information obtained by the Security Bureau mentioned that there is a collective connection between the Naga that is difficult for humans to understand. Their telepathic transmission may even be stronger than ours. It is even closer than one can imagine. Someone in the bureau once made a rather big statement. According to the fragments of the few remaining corpses of Naga captives, scientists have a view-the Naga may not be Not the kind of alien creatures that humans understand. In fact, they are just a kind of "flesh" scattered outside the aliens that have grown up by themselves. A long time ago, all the Naga people in the entire universe came from the same individual.

Those fragments detached from the main body, grew, and continued to divide, continued to grow, until..."

Until they overwhelmed the sky, and finally even began to invade the solar system.

"I know, like a severed worm, right? When you cut a worm down the middle, it ends up being two worms, and if you cut the two worms back—"

Rafael raised his eyebrows, listening to Sakhir's words seriously.

However, another loud noise interrupted Rafael's rapping response.

Sakhir's face turned cold, and he put his hand on the weapon around his waist, although that thing is useless now.

Then he turned his head, walked to the side of the spaceship, and kicked away the dead alien corpse.

The outer hatch of the aircraft fell down in its entirety after the slime and tentacles were detached.

The icy air was mixed with the smell of blood and the more obvious alarm from the "Mother" poured into the aircraft.

Sakhir jumped off the aircraft first, then turned his head and stretched out a hand towards Rafael...

"go!"

He said in a simple and clear manner, Raphael almost couldn't react with that natural look.

"Let's go? Let's go like this—wait, weren't you still studying Raymond's body? I mean it's the emperor of the Naga..."

"He is indeed very valuable for research. I have sampled him just now, and now our most important task is to survive..." After a pause, Sakhir added: "Then we have to find a way to send the sample back Earth, this will surely bring about a huge breakthrough in our research on the Naga."

Rafael subconsciously took a few steps in Sakhir's direction, but then stopped: "Then shall we let Alan stay here?"

he asked.

Now the person who seemed very astonished and unbelievable was replaced by Sakhir: "Of course?"

He said.

"I am very sorry that Alan passed away like this, but since it has happened, we have no way to restore it—"

Speaking of Allen's attack and death in the spaceship, Sakhir's voice was low, showing that he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

But that doesn't change the fact that his decisions are cold, heartless and impersonal.

At least that's the case for Rafael.

"We've got to take Ellen, we've got to take him...

Raphael kept repeating.

Sakhir's face became more cold and serious: "The base is about to explode, and our next task is very serious. We have to find a way to find a lifeboat again..."

"And Alan was left here by us. Right?"

"if not?"

Sakhir said coldly.

He even leaned forward, looking as if he wanted to drag Rafael down.

Raphael dodged him, and his voice became a little sharp: "But Alan died because of us—we all know, there must be some shit government conspiracy to kill him. I've had enough, yes We forcibly took Alan out of this planet, we forced him out of his environment, out of his life, because we were going to do this shit."

"Raphael—"

"And now he's dead, died here inexplicably, and we've kept him in an aircraft without any hesitation, let him stay with the alien's corpse, and wait for the whole base to explode soon , and he just turned into ashes..."

Rafael laughed miserably while talking, but his smile looked uglier than crying.

While speaking, he had already moved to Alan's side step by step, and then he vigorously pushed away the rotten part of the Naga emperor, trying to remove Alan's body from the body that the Naga no longer responded to. pull it out.

"Sorry, Sakhir, I know this is impulsive, but I can't take this, I have to take him..."

"Raphael, I hope you can be more calm. Now is not the time to chase stars. I know that Alan Blythewell is your favorite star, but you should be very clear that our current environment and conditions are fundamental. We are not allowed to take the corpse of our friends - if we do take anything, it will be the corpse of the Naga emperor, not an ordinary earth human. Rafael, don't be self-willed, we have to go now, base It is about to disintegrate, and even the basic life support system here will collapse at any time..."

In fact, while talking, Sakhir can already hear a rather bad voice——

The spacecraft directly smashed through the shell of the Tianmao human military base during the emergency landing. Fortunately, after the spacecraft shell engineering system noticed the damage, it covered the hole with a thin layer of engineering plastic according to the basic procedure to avoid the air and temperature. The leakage also prevented Rafael and Sakhir from being sucked out of the base together with the spaceship that he drove back to the base with great difficulty, and turned into cold mummy in the universe.

However, this kind of engineering plastic was not originally designed to support the internal structure stably and permanently. If the Tianmao base had not been attacked or encountered these accidents, within 30 seconds after the engineering plastic was laid, there would be nanobots in front of them. Come fix the hole.

But now, the base has turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Sakhir doesn't think there will be extra nano-robots coming to repair the huge pothole at this time, and now the temporary outer layer of engineering plastic has shown signs of collapse.

He could hear a series of rattling sounds, which were the noise made when the seam was trembling due to unstable contact.

"Rafael, we must leave now!"

Rafael ignored him, because Rafael was exerting all his breastfeeding strength at this time, trying to tear Raymond's remaining human head off Alan's neck.

Only God knows why it has been so smooth before, and it has become so difficult at this moment.

Rafael's forehead was completely soaked with sweat, and his whole body looked as if he had just crawled out of the water. Blood, sweat, and tears were all on his face together, making it hard to see him clearly. expression.

"Even if I die, I will stay with my favorite idol, not with you, a stinky bastard! Do you think I can't see it? We are already almost finished!, even if we escape to the base , it’s just a later death!”

Annoyed by Sakhir's nagging, Rafael couldn't control his emotions anymore, and broke down and yelled at the man outside the door.

It was only when he turned his head that he realized that there was no one at the entrance of the spaceship.

Raphael took a deep breath, turned his head and tried hard—now, he finally tore Alan's body out of the embrace of Emperor Naga.

Allen's body was surprisingly light.

His weight is much lower than that of a normal human male, and only at this moment, when holding Alan tightly, Rafael can feel how thin Alan is.

The man who was forced to come to the base was so skinny that his body was like dry wood instead of a flesh and blood person.

It's just that even so, the injury on the shoulder made Rafael groan in pain when he jumped off the spaceship carrying Allen's body.

He sniffled, moved with difficulty, and walked towards the entrance of the lifting platform. He was going to take Allen's body into the base like this.

It's just that his shoulder lightened after he didn't take a few steps, and he looked back in amazement, only to find that Sakhir, who he thought had left, had appeared by his side at some point.

But now Sakhir is staring at Rafael anxiously with a straight face.

The man even looked a little fierce, but his actions and expressions were completely inconsistent.

Just when Rafael felt that he was a little bit unable to support himself, Sakhir pushed Rafael away with a look of boredom, took Alan's body, and carried it on his shoulders.

"Walk."

He said another sentence, holding Alan's body with one hand, while the other hand stretched out, grabbing Rafael forcefully.

"I thought you...I thought you decided to leave me and run for your life."

Rafael couldn't believe his eyes.

After all, after getting along for so many days, Rafael can understand Sakhir's coldness better than anyone else.

There are 1 reasons for this man to abandon himself and run for his life (although in Rafael's view, the chance of success is pitifully small).

But Sakhir didn't do that——

Not only that, but this man also stood guard at the door of the spaceship, and finally took over Allen's body for Rafael's burden.

"Thank you, Sakhir."

Rafael murmured, Sakhir didn't answer, but Rafael could still clearly feel that at the moment he thanked, Sakhir's hand that grabbed him seemed to be a little harder than before .

When leaving the lifting platform, Rafael instinctively turned his head and glanced at the security bureau transport ship he left behind.

The ship looked like a hunk of metal junk now, with a pale mass of rotting flesh showing through the open hatch.

In order to pull Allen out of the corpse before, Rafael did not take into account the integrity of the emperor's corpse.

After leaving Allen, the already bloody remains of the corpse looked even more miserable, even sad.

Rafael shuddered, not knowing why he felt uncontrollable pity for an alien... and the corpse of an alien.

Fortunately, this strange emotion only lasted for a short period of time, because soon, what Raphael needed to take care of was not the wreckage left in the transport ship.

When Rafael and Sakhir left the outer area of ​​the base and entered the interior of the Tianmao human military base, the tragedy that happened in the base became more conspicuous.

Although compared with the outside, there is still some gravitational force generated by the rotation in the inner area, allowing them to run fast, but the collapsed corridors and the collapse caused by the explosion have made the already huge military base look like a A huge maze of corridors.

Moreover, this maze may not have an exit at all, and there are deadly traps all over it.

As a military base, the base is of course equipped with a small-scale automatic energy force field to stabilize certain key areas.

This is to avoid the collapse of the entire base caused by bullets, and now this small piece of intelligent energy position has become an oasis of life for Rafael and Sakhir.

In the corridor between the energy field and the energy field, the air became thinner and thinner, and the temperature also dropped to a level that ordinary humans couldn't bear.

And that's not the worst thing, the worst thing is that the corridors are filled with crazy pieces of meat.

Raphael really didn't want to think about what those things were. They looked similar to Raymond Morecambe in the spaceship that suddenly started to collapse, but they looked even more deformed and terrifying.

Their bodies are larger, with many human-face-shaped tumors growing on their surfaces, as well as a large number of ring-shaped suction cups. Visible capillaries and cilia protrude from beneath the wet epidermis.

Just like the corpse of the Naga emperor in the spaceship, these huge pieces of meat are losing their vitality. In fact, only a small part of them can barely maintain their vitality, but even so, their existence is difficult enough. Got it.

"Damn..."

Raphael suddenly lowered his head, dodging a giant tentacle that was slowly drooping down from the upper deck.

He almost jumped directly onto Sakhir's shoulders in front of him.

Hearing his screams, Sakhir didn't change his expression, he pulled Rafael over and turned around, he pulled the trigger.The weapon was ripped from the waist of a mutilated corpse on the ground, and the blue plasma beam hit the tentacle's root precisely while avoiding the generator of the energy stand.The plasma beam shredded the tentacles completely, and then the large pool of rotten flesh was connected with the thin skin, and Xilihulu rolled directly from the top of the platform to the ground like a dying octopus.

The foul-smelling mucus seeped out from the gap between the meat pieces just like that.

"what……"

Then, Rafael and Sakhir heard a childish low cry coming from the end of the passage.
