They say I'm a world-destroying anomaly.

Chapter 102 Terrifying Things

Despite the throbbing pain in their ears, Congrit and everyone in the Sigu tribe immediately raised their guns as they got up from the ground.

The first wave of sudden attacks was neutralized by Cheng Xu's stun grenades, but that did not mean they could rest easy.

They were currently inside the body of this fleshy behemoth.

The soldiers skillfully picked up their rifles, spread out, and formed an arc of about 270 degrees to ensure that the firepower could cover every corner and that they could watch out for and help each other.

At the very center of the encirclement was Congrit's sister, Emily.

The little girl nearly burst into tears when she saw her surroundings suddenly transform into a grotesque and terrifying jungle of flesh and blood. She trembled and curled up into a ball.

But soon, she displayed a strength that made everyone look at her in a new light.

She crouched motionless in the center of the defensive perimeter, making no sound to avoid disturbing the others who were engaged in intense combat.

Fields and Congrett stood side by side in front of her, facing the main entrance, their nerves on edge, awaiting the impending attack.

Some members of the Sigu tribe, who were of pure heart, felt fortunate, because if they had split into two groups, the group that went to the ship would have almost certainly died.

Now that we can pool our strength to fight the enemy together, even though we don't know how powerful the enemy is, we are more confident in our ability to win.

However, some people didn't think of this aspect.

During the process of setting up the defense line, some members of the Sigu tribe inevitably harbored resentment towards Cheng Xu.

If it weren't for Cheng Xu's insistence, they might never have come inside the ship, and instead they would be trapped here, forced to stay in the command room.

If they want to escape alive, they must break out of this enormous den of flesh and blood, and the difficulty of that is self-evident.

But before long, the discontent in the hearts of these people turned into deep fear, and any dissatisfaction vanished in an instant.

It was someone who first noticed the scene outside the ship and signaled to their companions with a look of horror on their face.

Through the portholes covered in blood and flesh, what appeared in their field of vision were terrifying things that filled the crevice.

Enormous barnacles clung to the spaceship's hull in clusters. Each one was a dark gray, semi-liquid vesicle, reaching two meters in diameter, its surface covered with a dense network of constantly opening and closing pores and sensory cilia. The bottom of the barnacles writhed, secreting large amounts of viscous liquid.

The enormous, completely transparent creature was invisible in the darkness, only intermittently flashing a faint blue light, revealing its outline as a bizarre jellyfish tens of meters in diameter.

The slowly growing, translucent crystalline clusters refracted a cold light, causing the surrounding space to distort.

Clouds of verdigris dust drifted in the air, occasionally dropping droplets of the same color that silently corroded several deep pits upon contact with the earth.

Countless slender, translucent, tentacle-like hydras form a bizarre flower that sways in the wind, reaching several kilometers in diameter. At the edge of the petals, a large number of high-energy plasmas collide, creating explosive arcs.

Their innate fear told them that these monsters were not illusions, but real beings existing outside the ship.

If Cheng Xu hadn't insisted that everyone board the ship and instead left a group of people outside to wait, they would have been torn apart by the monsters raging outside the ship in just a few breaths.

Thinking of this, the Bone-Slaying Clan member who had just harbored resentment showed shame on his face. Beneath his protective mask, his face, darkened by sun radiation, was now flushed red.

Just then, more autonomous machines finally appeared at the entrance to the command room.

The autonomous machines, now deformed and mutated, took on various forms and slowly approached the group, stepping over the bodies of their companions on the ground.

This time, without Cheng Xu or Omardo saying anything, everyone simultaneously raised their guns and pulled the triggers.

Fortunately, the bodies of these autonomous machines are products from three thousand years ago, and the main control intelligence of the Youyan ship, which gave them the mutation, also remains at three thousand years ago.

Although the electromagnetic rifles used by the Sigu tribe were all outdated and obsolete, everything is subject to comparison. Compared to the Youyan, these firearms were actually considered cutting-edge technology.

Therefore, even after transforming into flesh and blood monsters, these autonomous machines still cannot withstand the penetration of electromagnetic munitions.

Electromagnetic munitions formed a defensive line, and more and more autonomous machines fell at the doorway. Smaller machines that occasionally slipped out from gaps in other parts of the command room were also taken down one by one.

"Why don't you come back—"

"Why don't you come back!"

Suddenly, a chilling voice, like that of a cyber ghost, filled the command room. The tone suddenly rose, and the sharp, piercing sound enveloped everyone.

It can only be said that every cloud has a silver lining; the stun grenade that Cheng Xu just fired has come in handy at this moment.

After all, the violent explosion had caused everyone to temporarily lose their hearing, but the voice of the main AI did not affect them much.

But with that final roar, the flesh and blood on the walls and floor of the command room began to grow uncontrollably, generating countless twisted fleshy tentacles that surged toward the previously stable encirclement.

"not good!"

"Fight back quickly!"

Electromagnetic munitions are poured onto a sea of ​​flesh and tentacles, but whenever a tentacle is broken or shattered, it can quickly regrow.

Seeing this scene, the Sibone Clan inevitably felt a sense of despair.

Congrit gritted his teeth, continuing to fire at the nearest tentacle as he took a step back, pulling his sister into his arms to provide her with a final layer of protection.

Fields turned to look at Cheng Xu beside him. He didn't know what Cheng Xu could do in this situation, but he had a feeling that his "Brother Cheng" seemed to possess the ability to create miracles.

The lynx was eager to try, as if it had seen a feast being delivered to its doorstep. But since its master had not yet given the order, it could not act rashly and could only look up at Cheng Xu with longing eyes.

Cheng Xu exhaled a breath of stale air and suddenly looked up: "Didn't they already come back?"

As soon as he said that, his whiskers, which were about to touch everyone, suddenly stopped.

"What—does that mean—?"

It was still that distorted voice from the main AI, but this time it was no longer harsh; instead, it carried a hint of surprise and doubt.

"It means exactly what it says." Cheng Xu stretched out his hand and pointed to Omar, Congret, and the others.

"They are the descendants of those who were exiled back then!"

In an instant, all the flesh and tentacles seemed to lose all their power, stiffened in the air for a moment, and then crashed to the ground.
