Chapter 72 Crisis and ...... Harvest!
"Gauss rifle" is actually an unscientific title, the weapon in Oliver's hands should be more like a "particle beam" weapon, because the ammunition it uses is too small, just a series of protons. Call it a "Gauss rifle" just because it's catchy.
As the trigger was pulled, a hot blue light shot out from the muzzle.
This proton beam itself is not luminous, the essence of the blue light is the high-speed protons and air molecules violent friction, part of the air molecules by the energy, directly into the plasma. That is, these ions emitted bright light.
"Boom", the next instant of shooting, in the distance of two kilometers produced a violent explosion!
It was not a large explosion, only fifteen meters in diameter. After the proton beam hit the target, and the secondary magnetic field effect, the terrifying high temperature of the explosion centered on a bright white ball of light!
Oliver had long since closed his eyes, lying motionless on the ground, and even with his eyes closed, he could feel a red under his eyelids. He only felt a shock wave fast from his body flew over ... but because of the Mars air pressure is too small relationship, barely able to hold it.
After another two or three seconds, he began to squint and observe the situation in the distance through the slits in his fingers ...
But in this moment, Oliver was simply stunned!
Instead of looking directly at the site of the explosion, where the brightness was too much for his eyes, he looked further away: a huge red ball of flesh just over two thousand meters away, beating rhythmically like a heart, with a surface as red as fresh flesh, covered with massive folds!
It was immersed in liquid like a biological specimen, seemingly imprisoned in a glass hood. The liquid inside the hood was very little and cloudy, and seemed to be almost consumed.
The size of this meatball is just too big, conservatively estimated ... to be over three hundred meters in diameter! This is only the part visible to the naked eye, hidden under the invisible places do not know how many ...
There are many whip-like tentacles emerged from the very top of the glass cover and hung to the outside. A large part of it had dried up, while the other half was still pulsating with life.
"What's this ...? A meatball?" Just a startling glimpse, the sense of crisis in Oliver's heart almost reached the extreme.
Run! Run! His sixth sense was frantically shouting loudly, this is absolutely true sense!
This shot, just in time to blast this ball of flesh hanging on the outside of the tentacles. But the glass cover was too hard, and after the blow there were only a few more cracks, and the flesh ball's body was nothing serious.
But the tentacles hit by a large amount of yellow juice, a drop like blood dripping down, see his scalp numb.
Oliver did not know whether the meatball was still aggressive or not, he only knew that it was too dangerous to stay here any longer!
In the moment of being shot, the other side as angry as the general, jumping more violently. With its continuous beating, Oliver suddenly felt a powerful malice, "buzz", he felt his head was a big invisible hand knocked hard!
His mind dizzy, feel the whole world went dark, consciousness began to become blurred. In fact ... he was not struck by an external force, but inexplicably his head felt dizzy and his body began to be uncontrollable!
Brainwave attack? Or ...
"... must not fall down!"
Oliver's reaction was also extremely fast, just at the moment when he was about to be uncontrollable, he bit his tongue viciously, a mouthful of blood bubbled into his throat, and the intense pain cleared his head a lot.
However,... is in this moment, unintentional glance again in a short distance to see a strange circular device, just about twenty meters away from him, about the size of a fist, black and shiny.
"Get it! Gotta get it!"
Oliver's heartbeat instantly beat wildly, and a strange feeling instantly arose.
Get it! Get it! It was as if he heard the cries of a large number of scientists and engineers, as if all the human beings were standing behind him, all supporting him, encouraging him ... This circular device is what mankind dreams of, what it wants to find most!
Gotta get it, gotta get it!
"Illusion? Or is it real?" His body had begun to be out of control, his head was dizzy and heavy, and he knew clearly that this distance of twenty meters was really too dangerous, perhaps the distance between life and death!
"...FUCK!" This kind of close call moment, where to care so much, Oliver fiercely determined, he really do not want to die, frantically scurry forward. He gritted his teeth, moved his stiff fingers, lifted his hand and fired another shot, a violent explosion was immediately produced in the distance.
He knew that such an explosion would not harm the subject in the glass enclosure at all, but only slightly create some opportunity ... because such an explosion would create a brief magnetic effect, shielding a small part of the opponent's attack and creating a very brief opportunity!
One shot followed by another, bright flashes kept flashing at the glass hood, the ball of flesh accelerated and Oliver felt as if a hammer was in his head over and over again.
He crept forward, eyes closed, while firing indiscriminately, while crawling quickly, and in just two or three seconds, he picked up the orb into his hands.
"Picked it up!"
Oliver had no time to rejoice because he was 20 meters closer to the meatball! This 20 meters, is the distance between life and death. At this time, his head is too dizzy, almost reached the physical limit, and no longer bite his tongue does not work!
"... must not!"
Oliver's eyes were starry, a large swath of darkness down in front of him, he snapped his chest, a long-prepared stimulant injected, which he had just treated the wound, specially built into the spacesuit!
A drug power, from the chest to the head. The effect of this adrenaline was fast, and he only felt a slight warmth in his brain, and that feeling of unconsciousness disappeared a little more.
"Run, run!"
Oliver turned around and tried to escape the area. The Gauss rifle fired another last shot haphazardly and dropped it directly on the ground.
Run, you must run out! He seemed to hear the encouragement of many people, yes, he could not die, must not fall here!
Run, run quickly!
Just then, he suddenly felt the ground shake slightly, it was - a sound coming from outside! It seems to be a unique frequency!
"... The people outside are going to blow up the door? Hope, this is hope!"
Oliver couldn't even tell the difference at this point, but just guessed wildly. He no longer hesitated as he felt his consciousness begin to dissipate again, and as soon as he scooped up Mitchell, who was unconscious on the floor, he frantically rushed outside.
After a few more seconds, he felt that he was completely blind, and his whole body began to tremble incessantly, with a strange feeling of involuntarily wanting to run back.
His consciousness began to lose, his head began to lose the ability to think, if he hesitated a little at this time, immediately will be controlled ...
This is ... a battle of wills!
"How can I give in to you!"
Oliver had completely lost his mind, and a subconscious mind began to take over his body and continued to fight that meatball. If you look at it from a spectator's point of view, he was almost taking one difficult step at a time, and each step seemed to use his whole body's strength.
Infinite wills were pooling inside him, and if he was slightly weaker, he would be hypnotized and controlled. A short 1,000 meters, but an extremely difficult stretch, and it took him almost twenty minutes!
"Boom, boom, boom", the whole flying saucer was trembling, and a loud sound came from around the corner not far from the ground. He seemed to see a bright light, and out of nowhere, Oliver's will suddenly exploded!
"Go! Get out of here!"
He lunged toward the light, shouting at the top of his lungs, not caring whether the headphones were tampered with or not, and whether the other side could hear him or not.
At the same time, several arms grabbed Oliver at the same time, and Solomon's surprise shout came to his ears, "It's the captain!"
"Go! Run!"
Until then, Oliver was finally exhausted, both physically and mentally, and could not hold on any longer ...
But the matter is not over, the moment these members of the team grabbed Oliver, immediately felt a powerful malice, followed by a white eye, the body began to be uncontrollable again.
Solomon bit his lip and held on for two more seconds, but it was just a few seconds, and a rope in his hand was already firmly on Oliver's body!
They were not superhumans and had no way to resist for so long, one looked numb and involuntarily headed inside, but the rope tied behind them pulled them straight back in.
"It's broken, the door is blown open!" "It's the captain!"
Only these few sentences came from inside the headset and suddenly there was no sound again, and an inexplicable sense of unease arose deep inside Calvin on the outside. His eyes are very sharp, saw the fixed several ropes instantly become stiff, and quickly shouted: "Quick ... something happened! Pull them back! Pull them back!"
"Coming!" James head is also dizzy, immediately reacted after hearing Calvin's shout, his hands fired, and struggled to pull the rope.
That meatball seemed to ignore the loss of energy in terms of power, full power. Even on the outside, these few people were also affected by this mental ability, but the symptoms were slightly lighter, one by one, red in the face, frantically gritting their teeth to hold on ... but after ten seconds or so, they began to lose their own sanity again!
"Can't carry the drug to yourself! Must pull them back!" Calvin's forehead veins all jutted out one by one, shouting frantically, "Resist, everyone must resist, must hold on!"
"Ah... fuck!" James suddenly bellowed, his face grim, pulled out a sharp knife and stabbed himself hard in the leg! He really couldn't hold on, didn't care about the spacesuit or anything else, just wanted to use the intense pain to stay awake ...
