American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 423 Lao Liu
Lex Wood looked helplessly at the others, but most of them were still quite rational and wouldn't take unnecessary risks for a Black woman they didn't know.

Besides, the woman wasn't particularly attractive. This guy who just started out was probably starving because he hadn't seen a woman in a long time.

"You, you are all KKK! You are all white devils!"

Lex Wood continued to curse and even invoked the name of the KKK to slander Roy.

The KKK refers to an extreme white supremacist organization in America that enjoys using violence to harm people of other races.

As an aside, extreme white supremacists believe that only the Ansar are pure white people, while Germans and Slavs, who also have fair skin, are not recognized by them.

Not to mention Latins and oil.

However, because the Anssa people stopped having children, extreme white supremacists accepted the Germanic people, but the Slavs and other white-skinned peoples remained outsiders.

Moreover, there is an extremist organization on the Black side that is similar to the KKK, called the Black Panther Party.

The name of a certain Black superhero was probably inspired by the Black Panther Party.

"Shut up! I think you're the one who's a Black Panther Party member!"

Without another word, Roy grabbed Lex Wood's arm and forcibly pried open her fingers.

When this guy's blood was dripped onto the petri dish, the red blood immediately shrank into a ball, looking like a person who was afraid of the cold curling up.

Could it be that this thing is afraid of low temperatures?
Just then, Lex Wood’s head suddenly split in two, and several red tentacles emerged from it, trying to grab Roy.

Roy was prepared; with a light kick, he sent Lex Wood flying more than ten meters away, preventing him from getting splattered with blood.

The Black Mountain mercenaries behind them quickly followed up with firepower and threw incendiary grenades.

Lex Wood was burned to death on the spot.

The man who had just been speaking up for Lex Wood was now terrified. He hadn't expected the other man to actually be in trouble. The two had been standing so close together that he had almost been caught in the crossfire.

"Did everyone see that? That parasitic organism is extremely dangerous. After it infests a human body, it can acquire human memories and intelligence, so we must never let it leave Antarctica!"

Everyone realized the dangers of the parasites, and no one refused to get a blood test anymore.

However, the scalpel used to examine Lex Wood was no longer usable, so Roy threw it directly onto the still-burning body of Lex Wood and then had the Conqueror throw another scalpel.

At that moment, one of the people at the aurora research station suddenly turned and ran away, trying to rush into the station.

The Black Mountain mercenaries immediately opened fire, breaking the man's legs, but because of the distance, the incendiary bombs could not be thrown that far.

Then you see the guy's head and spine shoot out, abandoning its limbs and turning into a centipede-like shape to continue its escape.

Roy immediately pulled out a Molotov cocktail and threw it like a baseball, hitting the monster directly on the head and exploding.

This guy ultimately couldn't escape and was set ablaze by an incendiary bomb.

The Black Mountain mercenaries quickly pulled out incendiary bombs and burned the remaining body parts.

The fact that this guy managed to escape so far was partly due to the Black Mountain mercenaries' mistake of not keeping a close eye on him.

The people at the Aurora Research Station were still shaken, especially the two who were not far from the newly mutated creature; they were probably going to have nightmares tonight.

"You all saw that, right? Continue the blood test!"

The subsequent blood tests went smoothly without any further incidents, so Roy brought these people aboard the Conqueror.

Although the Conqueror had a large interior space, it became somewhat crowded after suddenly having more than a dozen extra people.

Fortunately, no one dared to complain; what had just happened was beyond everyone's imagination.

Having resolved the aurora station incident, Roy has become the backbone of everyone, and no one dares to disobey him.

"Everyone, take a break and have a hot coffee to warm up. I'll go blow up the Aurora Station later. Charles, we should have brought explosives, right?"

Charles nodded.

"Yes, considering the potential problems of the expedition, the Black Mountain mercenaries brought some C4."

"Alright, I'll have the Black Mountain mercenaries come with me to blow up the research station later. This parasite seems to be quite resistant to the cold; we can let it freeze to death."

Then, Roy looked at the stationmaster. The reason he said he wanted to take a break was that he actually had something to ask the stationmaster.

Sensing Roy's gaze, the station chief of the Aurora Research Station visibly trembled; he was now terrified of Roy.

"Mr. Blake, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Station manager, I'd like to ask, where did those parasitic creatures come from? They couldn't have appeared out of thin air."

The stationmaster immediately spilled the beans, telling the whole story without daring to hide anything.

It all started in the early morning.

Around 7 a.m., the people at the aurora research station suddenly heard the sound of a helicopter propeller and thought someone was visiting.

When they went outside to investigate, they discovered a helicopter chasing an Alaskan Malamute.

The people at the Aurora Research Station were very surprised, and then something even stranger happened: the helicopter pilot crashed due to a pilot error, and the Aurora Research Station took in the Alaskan Malamute.

"So that parasite was brought into the research station from the Alaskan Malamute? Then what about the person who just turned into a monster?"

"That man was a veterinarian. Clark was bitten while the dog was being handled, and he was the one who treated the wound. I think the veterinarian probably got infected while treating Clark."

This explanation makes more sense; medical staff are indeed very susceptible to infection.

"So where did that helicopter come from this morning?"

“We investigated afterwards and found that the helicopter came from the nearby Norwegian research station. We originally wanted to go to the Norwegian research station to take a look, but Mike Dean said that there were visitors coming, so we decided to go and see it tomorrow.”

This choice saved the Aurora Research Station. Nobody knows what happened at the Norwegian research station. If the people from the Aurora Research Station had gone there, they might have brought back something even more dangerous.

After listening to the stationmaster's words, Roy looked at Charles.

“Charles, let’s go to the Norwegian expedition station again tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Charles visibly hesitated.

"But what about the underground energy source..."

Roy waved his hand.

“Perhaps we can find something at the Norwegian research station. Besides, Mike Dean said that some of the visitors who came this afternoon were bitten by dogs, so I think that expedition is probably finished by now.”

Mike Dean, who was standing nearby, quickly nodded.

"Yes, yes! The one who got bitten was Lucas Barnes himself!"

Charles was delighted.

"Ha! This guy's always trying to outdo me, I never thought he'd actually get his comeuppance!"

It seems that Charles and Lucas Barnes have quite a conflict, to the point where they wish the other were dead.

"Roy, in that case, let's go to the Norwegian research station. Hmm, Roy, you'll take charge of this. I need to go back to my room for a bit."

As the benefactor, Charles has his own small room, and judging from his expression, he seems unable to contain his laughter and wants to go back to his own room to enjoy it. Roy also has a small room, but he shares it with Heather and Penny, making it rather cramped, though Heather and Penny like it that way.

"Have you rested enough? Take the C4 and come with me."

The mercenary captain hesitated.

"Is everyone going together? What about on the bus...?"

"Heather and Penny will be watching over here, everything will be fine. Let's get the aurora station sorted out quickly and head to the Norwegian station as soon as possible, I'm afraid a blizzard is going to hit soon."

The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and there were signs of wind picking up; night was about to fall.

It's dangerous to do things after dark, so it's better to do things when there's natural light.

"Let's go!"

Roy led the Black Mountain mercenaries away from the Conqueror and planted C4 in various areas of the Aurora Research Station.

Actually, blowing up the buildings on the ground is relatively simple. The trouble is that the main body of the Aurora Research Station has a basement. An explosion of the ground buildings will definitely not affect the basement, so it is necessary to plant a C4 in the basement.

"I'm going to the basement to plant C4. You guys stay around the research station and be careful."

"Roger that!"

Now that the Black Mountain mercenaries and Roy are in the same boat, they naturally won't compete with Roy at this time.

Roy entered the main building of the aurora research station alone, holding the M500. Because it was dusk, the room was very dark due to the lack of natural light.

I tried pressing the light switch, but there was no response; it seems like there's a power outage.

The power outage was too coincidental, leading Roy to believe that there was probably something else hidden inside the aurora research station.

That thing probably thought darkness was more advantageous to it, since most humans can't see in the dark, but it didn't know that Roy had darkvision.

After briefly inspecting the main building and finding nothing, Roy headed straight for the basement.

It was even darker here than on the ground, but to Roy in his Ghost Wolf form, there was no difference.

After observing the basement, I found that apart from a large generator, there were some miscellaneous items piled up, but nothing particularly strange about it.

Roy took out a flashlight and, pretending to be affected by the darkness, cautiously approached the generator to prepare to install C4.

Suddenly, a net woven from thin pink tentacles emerged from the generator and enveloped Roy.

Once you're trapped in this web of tentacles, the outcome is obvious.

Fortunately, Roy reacted very quickly, pushing off the ground and retreating several meters to the wall.

But the monster's attack was far from simple; a thin, pink tentacle shot out from the electrical conduits on the wall.

This sixth guy actually compressed his body to its limit and entered the conduit used to protect the wires. It was truly impossible to guard against!
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely have fallen victim to this by now. Fortunately, Roy is not an ordinary person.

A teleportation teleported him to the basement entrance, where Roy immediately threw out an incendiary bomb.

Flames instantly engulfed the generator and electrical wiring.

However, the pink tentacles simply retracted and were not ignited.

Is it still underground?

Roy guessed that the main body of the hidden monster was probably still under the generator, and it would be quite troublesome to find it.

So Roy stomped the ground with all his might.

Instantly, a strong tremor was felt centered on the aurora research station, and the main building of the aurora research station even collapsed.

The monsters hiding underneath fared no better; their bodies were nearly destroyed by the pressure of the earth, and large amounts of blood seeped out of the generator.

Roy found some gasoline in the basement, presumably for generating electricity.

So they poured fuel into the generator basement and lit it.

The flames of the incendiary bomb had not yet died down, and when they came into contact with the gasoline, the fire intensified instantly.

The monster's blood tried to escape the flames, but unfortunately, the flames burned much faster than it could move.

Soon, the flames engulfed the entire basement. Roy walked outside and quietly watched the flames burn until he was sure no biological tissue had escaped before leaving the main building.

Seeing Roy emerge unharmed, the mercenary captain was somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"What just happened? Why was there an earthquake?"

"There was a monster lurking in the basement trying to ambush me, but I've already dealt with it. As for the earthquake, it was probably just a coincidence?"

Roy shrugged, as if nothing had happened.

However, out of caution, the mercenary captain still had Roy have his blood tested.

Roy didn't refuse, which put others at ease.

"Is everything alright now?"

After staring intently at Roy's blood dripping into the snow for several minutes, making sure the blood hadn't constricted due to the cold, the mercenary captain finally nodded.

"Then I'll detonate the C4 now."

The mercenary captain pressed the detonation button, and the Aurora Research Station was completely reduced to ruins.

"Let's go, let's head to the Norwegian research station now."

By this time, the sun had completely set, but in order to ascertain the situation at the Norwegian research station, they had no choice but to risk driving through the night.

The two small snow exploration vehicles then came into play, taking turns scouting ahead and navigating the Conqueror.

How far is the Norwegian research station from the Aurora Research Station?

The station manager answered Roy's question.

"It's about 100 kilometers away, and at the current speed it should take about two hours to get there."

"Two hours?"

Roy checked the time; he would arrive at the Norwegian research station around noon, by which time the blizzard would probably have already started.

"Hopefully we can reach the Norwegian research station before the blizzard hits."

After saying that, Roy told Heather and Penny to keep an eye on the other people in the car, and then went back to his room to make a phone call.

We must inform Gerald about the discovery in Antarctica. If these peculiar parasitic creatures are not dealt with, they could potentially cause devastating damage to the Earth.

That parasitic organism is far more destructive to the environment than the Starry Night, at least the Starry Night doesn't have such a terrifying ability to spread.

Fortunately, the wind wasn't too strong, so Roy was able to answer the phone smoothly.

"Mr. Orin, I have some important information to tell you!"
