Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1470 Escape

The mutation spread as fast as a plague, and everything they had just seen, whether it was the container, the floor or the ceiling, became weird and even blasphemous.

The horrific chunks of flesh, the wriggling fascia, the twitching blood vessels, and the faint stench of death, coupled with the negative energy that caused the scanner to continue to alarm, all of this stretched everyone's nerves to the limit.

When they saw that the door of the engine room was still the same as before, they felt reassured at that moment, thinking that as long as they got in, they could leave the abnormality behind.

Lieutenant Dui, who was at the front, immediately swayed at the door, the automatic door opened, and everyone followed in one after another.

Since this door has not mutated, it is very likely that the problem is only in the cargo hold, and perhaps everything is normal in the engine room.

With this hope in mind, everyone entered the room.

But hope is often most valuable only when it is destroyed.

When everyone rushed into the engine room in panic, suddenly, the lights went out.

Not only were the lights inside the ship gone, but even the lights from the protective suits seemed to be cut off, illuminating only each person's own outline.

All of them were like diving into inky black sea water. There was nothing around them but the most primitive and deep darkness.

“Ahhhhhh! Help, help! Save me!”

Someone was screaming in the communication channel, but it was pitch black around them. Even the outline illuminated by the flashlight was very vague. There was no idea who it was or what had happened.

The next moment, the lights came on like lightning piercing the sky, bringing flickering light.

In the flashing lights that seemed to be about to explode, Alyssa saw two soldiers who seemed to be wrapped in something black. Alyssa couldn't even tell whether it was a monster or just a simple shadow!
Ear-piercing screams continued to echo in the communication channel, and the crazy flashing lights put too much strain on the eyes. What was even more terrifying was that everyone seemed to be frozen, and no one reacted for a moment.

Alyssa felt that she could hardly close her eyes. Her whole body was shaking, and she bit her lower lip hard with almost all her strength.

The stinging pain and rusty taste melted away in her mouth, allowing her to regain some control over her body. Although even a simple action like raising her hand seemed to be delayed, at least she could move.

"Don't just stand there!"

Alyssa's voice was so loud that for a moment it even drowned out the soldiers' screams. The speakers next to each person emitted a piercing sound that hurt their eardrums.

This also brought everyone back to their senses.

At this time, the two soldiers wrapped in darkness were no longer moving, but for some reason, the screams in the communication channel did not disappear.

The darkness that attached to them squirmed and twisted, as if laughing wildly, mocking the stupidity of mortals.

Dui, who was closest to the soldiers, woke up as if from a dream. He rushed over and tried to grab the hand of one of the soldiers.

"It's hopeless, they are beyond help!"

Cao Wei tried to hold Dui back, but her body seemed to be rusty and she was a beat slow.

Dewy grabbed the soldier's hand and pulled it back hard.

However, he only pulled out one hand and about one-third of his chest cavity. The edges were bloody and mangled, as if they had been melted by strong acid. The sticky liquid mixed with the blood turned into small spheres floating in the microgravity environment.

Dui felt a strong nausea rising from his stomach. The protective suit detected the signs of vomiting and the built-in medicine was automatically injected to forcibly suppress the nausea.

Because vomiting while wearing protective clothing may cause suffocation, all protective clothing has this function.

At this moment, the darkness suddenly disappeared again, as if it had never existed, but the remains left behind indicated that there were once two living people here.

"Come on!"

Alyssa put the final nail in the coffin for the two soldiers. She had to make the decision, otherwise the team would continue to stay in this dangerous place.

Under the effect of the drug, Dui resisted the urge to vomit, but he obviously seemed much weaker and his steps seemed unsteady.

They carefully avoided the remains of the two soldiers, tried not to look at anything that might strain their nerves, and continued running.

The banging sounds in the wall seemed to be getting closer, but the screams of the two soldiers in the communication channel did not stop.

Even if some people turned off the speakers directly, the sound was still there, and the screams seemed to echo in everyone's heart.

Everyone felt as if a stone was pressing on their hearts. They were extremely uncomfortable. Many people had already experienced hyperventilation. The protective clothing automatically sounded the alarm, prompting the wearer to reduce the breathing rate.

"They're catching up!"

Sophia shouted behind Alyssa, and Alyssa turned around to see that the abnormality that had made the cabin so terrifying had indeed caught up with them. The engine room door that had been normal just now became like a huge heart valve, opening and closing, breathing heavily. The solid floor was instantly covered with a layer of blue blood vessels, and some of the pipelines looked like peristaltic intestines. If you stared at it, you would see painful and twisted human faces on the intestinal wall.

The remains of the two soldiers also swelled up in an instant, as if they had become inflamed connective tissue, or even more like a large throbbing tumor, which made people's scalps tingle.

Terror, materialized terror is catching up from behind!

"Hurry up! Hurry up! This is not the time to save oxygen!"

The exhaust gas produced by breathing had been used up in the escape just now, and now the jet pack began to use the oxygen carried by each person.

The good news is that they carried double the oxygen, which, if all went well, would be enough for them to keep going at full speed back to the Manta.

But everything going smoothly seems to be a luxury.

When the mutation made the reactor left behind look like a huge beating heart, and the nearby cooling towers like the lungs of some creature, slender cold shadows covered them from the front.

Dui, who was at the front, lowered his head due to physical discomfort and just let it pass, but the three or four soldiers next to him were not so lucky.

Almost in an instant, their heads were separated from their bodies, as if the shadow was some extremely sharp blade.

The next moment, blood spurted out from the chest cavity under the pumping of the heart, like a terrifying fountain, and the blood drops even sprayed onto the ceiling.

The out-of-control body was thrown around by the jet pack. The earphones were filled with the screams of the soldiers and it was impossible to tell who was who.

Alyssa held Sanafia tightly with one hand, her palms were cold and her teeth were trembling, but she knew that she couldn't stop, she absolutely couldn't stop!

"There are also some behind! Keep your head down!"

Sophia's reminder made the rest of the people quickly hold their heads down. Something extremely exaggerated seemed to flash by above.

Sophia should have avoided this attack, but she didn't know what happened to the others who were guarding the rear with her. Alyssa saw Sophia surpass her and ran to the front to grab Dui and Cao Wei who were floating in the air and couldn't get up.

"Cheer up, we're about to...!"

Before Sophia finished her words, Alyssa saw through the masks that Dui and Cao Wei's faces were distorted, their mouths opened wide, and they spit out black, clay-like substances.

No, it's not liquid.

is alive!
It was like tentacles groping left and right inside the masks, as if something was trying to break out of their bodies!

If this was some kind of curse or virus or something worse, then the suits wouldn't work and it was likely that all of them were infected.

A strong sense of despair surged into Alyssa's heart, and then she saw that the dense shadows were like a big net, covering her from the front.

Each shadow merged together until it looked like a wall.

No one could react in time, and in almost an instant, all the survivors were swallowed up by the darkness.

Alyssa still held Sanafia’s hand tightly, but she clearly felt that the weight in her hand seemed to have become lighter, as if she was not holding a person, but an arm.

Alyssa didn't want to consider this possibility, but it seemed that there was nothing else she could do.

Under the light of the protective suit, Alyssa seemed to see that her hands were also melting, but she did not feel any pain.

First the outermost protective suit, then the clothes and skin underneath. Her body seemed to be peeled off layer by layer, melting away, until only white bones were left.

She wanted to find Sanafia, and she did encounter a human-shaped object, but it was not Sanafia, but Sofia who had already melted halfway.

Or rather, it was more like a half-digested, half-rotten head, with blood, flesh and sticky tissue fluid overflowing and the eyeballs falling out.

The fear reached its peak at that moment. Alyssa once thought that she was not afraid of death, but it turned out that she had never experienced real terror.

Her consciousness began to blur, and her heart beat faster than ever before suddenly slowing down, as if she had fallen into an abyss or a bottomless sea.

Is this death?

Alyssa no longer had the energy to think about this question until...

"What are you doing? Performance art?"

Li Chengxi's somewhat confused voice, like a sharp sword piercing through the darkness, successfully reached Alyssa's auditory nerves.
