Chapter 247 The Gift of Liberation

Fu Qinghai was just about to rush out of the dilapidated egg-shaped building when seven or eight huge tentacles instantly tied him up tightly, pulling his shoulders and arms tightly and pulling him down.

"Hehe…"

Moira smiled charmingly, and the six black wings behind her looked like rotten leaves hanging on withered branches. Her lower body had turned into twisted and tangled black roots like those of an old tree, firmly connected to the earth.

"See what I see, think what I think, and think what I think."

Moira raised her head and chanted, and sticky black liquid flowed from her eyes and flowed down her eye sockets and cheeks.

"Return! Return to the embrace of the Fungus Master!"

Moira stretched her mouth to the limit and shouted loudly.

At this time, in the entire village, humans continued to collapse and disintegrate, turning into black mucus and seeping into the ground, including the thin and dark woman that Fu Qinghai saw outside the valley.

It turns out that they are all fungal prostheses split from the fungus master. Relying on the fungus master's special ability to retain the consciousness of the devoured organisms, they share the same hive mind.

Moira reached out and grabbed, once again activating her ability to control the magnetic field. Fu Qinghai, who was struggling to break free from the black tentacles, was instantly unable to move as sparks and arcs of electricity burst out from his body.

Magneto is indeed very good at resisting power armor.

Even a weakened version of Magneto.

Golden and white laser beams shot out from the center of Fu Qinghai's chest and the palms of his hands, burning off several black tentacles. At the same time, his right arm trembled and broke free from the magnetic force, and he pulled out the Blue Fang and swept it across, cutting off all the tentacles.

"Qingming, afterburner mode!"

The roaring and rotating huge turbofan cut off the black tentacles that penetrated into it. The plasma nozzle was burned red by the huge flames that spewed out. The whole hall was filled with air currents and tail flames. Fu Qinghai crashed through the glass dome and flew into the blue sky.

"Insufficient energy, 37% remaining."

A line of characters appears on the retina screen.

Fu Qinghai ignored him and flew straight into the sky.

Inside the hall, Moira finally absorbed all of the energy of the fungus master. The black "root"-like substance that made up her lower body shrank and disappeared, turning into legs again. The six-winged mold angel suddenly flapped its wings, and in the midst of a black feather falling, the whole person flashed and disappeared, and instantly moved behind Fu Qinghai.

"Hahaha, do you think I can only fight you within the confines of the shelter? You underestimate the power of the Fungus Master, Qingshan, you are destined to die here today!"

Moira waved her hand to grab Fu Qinghai, and continuously activated her ability to control the magnetic field to interfere with Fu Qinghai's control of the power armor.

Most of the reincarnationists who go for the technological armor school would probably kneel down on the spot if they encounter a reincarnationist controlled by a magnetic field. Fortunately, Fu Qinghai's power armor is made of living metal, which can repair the damage to the precision parts inside the armor all the time, but the price is a huge loss of energy.

The Ark reactor, the subatomic nuclear fusion reactor, and the Nyadrazasa reactor, which is the fusion of the two, all belong to the category of cold nuclear fusion reactors. They have strong energy output, but it does not mean unlimited energy. In the previous films, Iron Man often appeared in the scene where Jarvis reminded him that he was running low on energy while flying.

Repairing armor, firing lasers, cruising at high speed... Fu Qinghai's energy reserves have been depleted.

Fu Qinghai turned into a meteor and disappeared above the head of Leman Rust tank, leaving only one sentence to the three women on the communication channel:

"Squeak... squeak... My Little Pony, find and kill the fungus host under Shelter 79."

After saying that, he flew away without looking back.

Moira didn't notice the two tanks hiding in the mangroves with camouflage nets. At this moment, she only had Fu Qinghai in her eyes. She frequently used her teleportation ability and chased after him.

After receiving Fu Qinghai's message, the three women in the tank were confused - what "fungus" and what "main body"?

But they saw Fu Qinghai roaring away like a jet fighter, and also saw the black-winged monster chasing him behind him. They realized that there must be enemies in the shelter, so they immediately started the tank without saying a word, tore off the camouflage net and drove to the entrance of the valley.

…

Fu Qinghai is very embarrassed now.

He has a triple composite armor shell, and the inner layer is an electronic muscle fiber bundle made of vibranium. If Moira uses conventional attack methods, she will not be able to break his defense at all.

However, the weapons currently on hand cannot block the terrifying self-healing ability of E mold. Fu Qinghai has the impression that the entire "Resident Evil: Village" repeatedly emphasizes the self-healing ability of mold, but he did not expect that this self-healing ability is so abnormal.

The only somewhat useful thing is the arc pulse cannon, which is a golden-white laser shot out from the palm and chest. Due to limited energy reserves, it cannot be used too frequently.

The Mold Angel's flying efficiency with only three pairs of wings is naturally not comparable to that of a flying backpack, but she can teleport. Whenever she gets closer to him, she uses magnetic control to interfere with Fu Qinghai's flight. As a result, the distance between the two has not been widened.

Fu Qinghai thought: You can't hit me, I can't kill you, you can't catch up with me, I can't get rid of you, let's not waste time here. So he shouted:

"Professor, Professor Robinson, how about forgetting it, our competition today ends here, what do you think!"

The sound from the loudspeaker was blown into pieces by the strong wind around her, but Moira still heard it. She flapped her wings and flew up, disappearing and reappearing continuously, laughing loudly:

"You destroyed our latest forward base, you ruined our carefully prepared sacrifice plan, you have long been on the kill list of perfect humans. If Monroe had not been determined to recruit you, do you think we would have wasted so much time and energy on you and let you live until now?"

"So there's nothing to talk about?"

Fu Qinghai shot out two lasers in return. One was dodged by Moira by turning her head, and the other burned off one of her wings. As soon as it was broken, it immediately began to wriggle and recover.

"How come there is nothing to talk about?"

Moira teleported to close the distance, folded her wings inward, and tiny black particles gushed out of her body, transforming into swirling and entwined tentacles that attacked Fu Qinghai. They were a group of "Kardu worms", which Miranda called "gifts".

"As long as you are willing to accept the gift of the Fungus Master and become one of us, I can certainly write off everything with you. Not only will you gain powerful strength, but you will also develop new abilities and settle your grudges. It's a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. What do you think, Qingshan?"

She wanted to use magnetic field control to destroy my power armor and then infect me with the Kaadu worm.

Fu Qinghai understood. He kicked Moira away in the air and turned on the afterburner mode again to create some distance between them.

The Fungus Queen, the ultimate form of the Seraph, also has the ability to control minds and launch fireballs. The former can only target receptors infected by fungi. As for the latter, ordinary fire cannot hurt the Space Marines, so Moira did not use it to make a fool of herself. She just kept performing teleportation and magnetic control, trying to use the "gift" to infect Fu Qinghai.

"Insufficient energy, 31% remaining."

Qingming reminded again.

Fu Qinghai no longer entangled with Moira. He gathered his body and flew forward with his head down, following the direction he came from.

…

The Leman Rust tank stopped at the entrance of the valley.

The entrance is too narrow for tanks to pass through.

Chen Xinlu and the other two got out of the car, and before they turned the corner, they heard the sound of heavy footsteps.

A huge bipedal mecha stood in front of the three people.

The glass cabin cover was cut open, and a man wearing a baseball cap and holding a cigarette in his mouth grinned at the three people.

The thrusters on the back of the SCV spewed out yellow flames, and the two-legged mecha slowly hovered in the air and flew towards the three people. The conical power generator in its left hand made a buzzing vibration, and the huge multi-purpose clamp in its right hand was waving up and down. Jiang Yixia snorted disdainfully, and his whole body suddenly swelled up, tearing off his protective suit, turning into a two-meter-five Hulk, and kicked his feet and ran straight towards the SCV.

At this time, at the top of the hill, a Spartan warrior wearing dark green MK4 Thor's hammer power armor quietly carried an M41-SPNKR rocket launcher on his shoulder.

The distance between She-Hulk and the SCV gradually narrowed, and the high-speed rotating power machine swept across. Jiang Yixia jumped up, stood on the top of the bipedal mecha, grabbed a steel bar outside the cockpit, and pulled hard with his arm muscles. With a harsh sound of metal twisting, the steel bar was pulled down. Jiang Yixia jumped and dodged nimbly, first avoiding the universal clamp that was grabbed, and then grasped the steel bar and thrust it down with force.

"Puff——"

The glass cabin was pierced and blood splattered on the transparent hatch cover. Logically, the SCV driver should have been dead at this moment, but in an instant, a large amount of black mucus gushed out from the hole in the hatch cover and turned into countless tiny tentacles that attacked Jiang Yixia.

She-Hulk opened her eyes wide and quickly did a backflip and jumped off the mecha to avoid contact with the black mold. Just when the unexpected happened, the Spartan warrior who was ambushing at the top of the hillside pulled the trigger.

"laugh..."

Chen Xin caught a glimpse of the rocket's tail smoke from the corner of her eye. She pushed Li Xingxian away and her right hand, which was wearing a ring, quickly drew circles in the air.

"Hiss…"

The thick rocket body plunged directly into the rotating ring of fire and rushed out from another dimensional door opened in front of the SCV.

"boom--"

The bipedal mecha, covered with black slime all over its body, turned into an exploding fireball, and burning metal fragments were thrown in all directions. The fuselage trembled and fell to the ground, breaking apart.

"Fuck!"

The Spartan warrior cursed inwardly, threw down the rocket launcher, grabbed an MA5B assault rifle beside him, and rushed down the hillside with the gun in hand.

"Da da da da da!"

Facing the dense barrage of bullets, Chen Xinlu was not afraid at all. She waved her hands quickly, and a circular magic circle composed of golden secret patterns appeared in front of her. The bullets hit it, splashing golden sparks, but failed to penetrate it.

Seraphim Shield.

After several rounds of bullets were used up, there was a crisp sound of an empty chamber.

Just as the Spartan was changing the magazine.

"Drink!"

A green shadow flashed by.

Jiang Yixia attacked from the side and shattered the iconic golden mask with a powerful punch. The Spartan warrior was knocked sideways by the punch and rolled on the hillside in a panic.

He supported himself on all fours, stopped rolling, and climbed up. His shattered golden mask revealed his bearded face. The man smiled miserably, with a dark, sticky liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth. He pulled out the combat dagger from the side of his thigh, waved his hand and said,

"Come on, fight me in close combat."

He stood up shakily and grinned,

"I know you don't dare to get close to me. You're afraid..."

The words haven't been finished yet.

"Jiu——"

A red beam flashed by.

The Spartan warrior's helmet shattered and vaporized instantly.

The headless warrior fell down.

In the distance, Li Xingxian was lying in the grass with the butt of a DLT-19x sniper blaster against his shoulder. It looked a bit strange for his small figure to be carrying such a long gun. As he watched black mucus begin to flow out of the neck of the headless corpse, Li Xingxian gritted his teeth, endured the pain of the recoil hitting his shoulder, removed the empty tank, stuffed a new blaster gas tank into the tail of the gun, and pulled the trigger again.

"Jiu!" "Jiu!" "Jiu!"

The continuous red beams of light smashed the bodies of the Spartan warriors into pieces, turning them into a pile of scarlet meat paste mixed with armor fragments. Li Xingxian stopped shooting only when the black mucus stopped flowing.

Li Xingxian took a breath, put down the sniper blaster, lifted up his collar and saw that

his snow-white and tender shoulder socket was already bruised.

…

In the sky, the chase between Moira and Fu Qinghai continued.

The two had already flown beyond the range of the zombie swamp.

Arrived, the familiar storm area.

The sky in the distance was gray, with rolling sandstorms, lightning and thunder, heavy rain, twisting tornadoes and swirling thunderclouds intertwined together, like a doomsday scene.

Scattered sand and gravel had already begun to hit the outer shell of the power armor, making a clanging sound. Fu Qinghai did not slow down at all and rushed into the range of the storm.

"Wow!"

Visibility suddenly dropped, and the pouring acid rain washed Fu Qinghai's armor from side to side. Fu Qinghai had already folded his wings, but the violent hurricane still blew him left and right. Moira behind him flipped her wings and continued to chase him, roaring angrily:

"Do you think you can get rid of me like this?"

Both of them tried their best to maintain their bodies in the strong wind. Fu Qinghai's flight was affected by the airflow, but Moira's teleportation was not. She flashed several times to avoid the twisting tornado and got closer and closer to Fu Qinghai.

From the moment Fu Qinghai entered the storm area, he flew upwards against the heavy rain. After a long chase and the torture of the storm, both of them were exhausted at this moment.

Fu Qinghai continued to rise, like a kite swaying in a rainstorm, and finally...

"Crackle—"

A huge lightning bolt, five or six meters thick, instantly hit Fu Qinghai. White lightning spread radially, and the dazzling light that was unbearable to look at completely enveloped him. Even Moira behind him couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her face.

"Overload! Overload!"

"Warning, energy load exceeds 300%!"

"The energy must be released immediately!"

A series of red warnings flashed on Fu Qinghai's retina screen.

Moira lowered her arms, looked up at the sky, and slowly opened her mouth.

High in the sky, Fu Qinghai was surrounded by electric arcs. On the cracked shell, materialized plasma "flowed" on the exposed living metal. Dazzling white light spurted out of his goggles. The violent momentum of destroying everything could not be concealed even by hurricanes and rainstorms. It was as if the God of Thunder had descended to the world.

Fu Qinghai pointed his palms and chest at Moira below him. He looked at the black particles surrounding the mold angel and said in a hoarse voice,

"Since you call this worm a 'gift'."

"Then I will give you 'liberation'."

The black feathers suddenly exploded, and Moira teleported to more than ten meters away, but Fu Qinghai turned around and aimed his chest and palms at her again.

"No---"

Moira opened her mouth and yelled.

"boom--"

The golden-white laser beam, as thick as a spear of light, instantly submerged the black six-winged angel. Both the person and his wings were enveloped by the light beam and slowly melted away in the violent energy that purified everything.

The storm was eclipsed at this moment.

"You were the one who insisted on chasing me."

　Thanks to Koi Xi Qinglian, Xi Ji, Simmer -001, and Catnip Tsundere Mouse for their rewards.

　　"Ah, author, what does this have to do with the chapter title "Village"? "

　　"Ah, author, you wrote lightning just to create an opportunity to pick up girls, that's too deliberate!"
