Not long after, the deformed creature that had wrapped Merlin with its tail stopped.
Then, the deformed creature flicked its tail, and Merlin landed on the iron net.
Merlin realized that these deformed creatures did not seem to intend to eat her, at least not for the time being.
There were still many deformed creatures patrolling the surrounding passages.
Merlin wanted to move her body, but she could only feel a little of her limbs.
Moreover, the remaining saliva of the deformed creatures on her body was coagulating and gluing her to the iron net.
"Give up. Don't waste your energy."
At this moment, a voice came from the side.
Merlin turned her head and saw a man in a white coat.
The man's eyes were lifeless, and his voice was very weak.
"You … You're a researcher here?"
"It's obvious, isn't it?" the man said weakly.
"Are these the results of your research?"
"They can only be considered to have been cultivated by us. We can't research these things," the man said. "When I came here, there were already their eggs. Later, through cultivation and reproduction, it reached the scale we have today."
"What are these things?"
"Do you know the Quetzalcoatlus of the Inca civilization?"
"I've heard of them. You mean they're Quetzalcoatlus, but they look like a bunch of baldies. There's not a single hair on their bodies. They don't look like Quetzalcoatlus at all."
"They're the original forms of Quetzalcoatlus," the man said. The man said, "The origin of the first eggs in the lab was unknown, but through research, we found that they were highly intelligent and sociable. Therefore, the people who studied with me at the time believed that their civilization might have existed a long time ago."
"So what are they going to do to us now? Eat us? Or use us as food for winter? "Merlin asked with a hint of self-mockery.
She did not have much hope for survival research.
At least, she did not see any hope of survival.
"Look up."
Merlin turned her head and looked straight up. In the shadows of the ceiling that was covered with various pipes, there were wet meat eggs hanging.
Merlin swallowed. She had already realized something.
"You've seen aliens, right?"
Even though Merlin's body was in a state of paralysis, she still felt unprecedented fear.
"The Quetzalcoatlus we see now are all cultivated in the laboratory's container trough, so their development is extremely incomplete. They can only be considered subspecies." The man said, "After the real feathered serpent god emerges from the egg, it needs to drill into the body of a large mammal before it can grow into a real feathered serpent god … As for the process, you can refer to the facehugger in Alien."
"How did you know?"
"I'm not the only one who was captured here. When the lab was evacuated, four people were captured by these subspecies."
At this moment, a huge creature emerged from a circular passageway.
Its size was similar to those subspecies, but it was much larger.
In terms of weight alone, they were more than five times larger than normal subspecies.
Unlike the subspecies that crawled on the ground, their upper bodies were propped up, just like humans.
The lower half of its body wriggled forward like a snake.
They had colorful feathers on their backs and armpits.
This was obviously the Quetzalcoatlus that the researcher beside him was talking about.
"Hah!" Quetzalcoatl let out a strange cry.
The surrounding subspecies all lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads.
They were as humble as commoners in front of nobles.
At this moment, the feathered serpent god moved into a water trough.
Merlin heard the sound of an electric motor starting up.
Then, the lights around the water trough lit up.
The water trough where the feathered serpent god was was connected to many cables, which seemed to be connected to electricity.
In the water trough, it let out strange cries.
"What is it doing?"
"Absorbing electricity," the researcher said. "Quetzalcoatlus seems to be able to absorb electricity, and they have very high intelligence. No one has taught them how to use the equipment here, but in the past two days, I've watched them go from fumbling around to now being proficient in using it. You can't imagine how smart they are."
Merlin felt that his scalp was about to explode. Of course, he understood the meaning of the researcher's words.
Even humans would not dare to say that they could learn to operate such complicated electrical equipment without any relevant experience, let alone other species.
If it was just physical strength, it would not be enough to threaten the entire human community.
After all, there were many animals on Earth that were stronger than humans.
But what if there was a species that was stronger and smarter than humans?
"What about their reproductive ability?"
The researcher glanced at Merlin from the corner of his eyes. "As long as they have enough food, they only need one night to complete their mating, laying eggs, and hatching into larvae. After the larvae burrow into a mammal's body and eat the mammal's body, it takes a day for them to become semi-mature. Take that feathered serpent god for example. Its actual age is only 20 hours."
Hearing the researcher's words, Merlin was beyond shocked.
"You people are crazy. How dare you research this kind of thing?"
"It's too late to say that now. Besides, I'm just a researcher. In terms of work, I'm no different from an engineer. Even if I don't accept this job, someone else will." The researcher completely removed his responsibility.
Although what he said was the truth, Merlin was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
However, she had no way to teach the researcher a lesson at this moment.
She could not even protect herself now.
At that moment, a piece of flesh above them suddenly burst open.
A huge amount of liquid poured down, drenching both of them.
Of course, if it was just the liquid pouring down, it would not have made them panic.
There was something else that came down with the liquid.
It was a young feathered serpent god. This young feathered serpent god looked pink and a little cute.
However, as long as it was associated with the facehugger, no one would think it cute anymore.
The young feathered serpent god began to crawl toward the researcher.
The researcher was so scared that he trembled all over and made a "ho" sound.
The young feathered serpent god hesitated for a moment before turning around and crawling toward Merlin.
Merlin was scared out of her wits. Only now did she understand how this researcher had managed to survive for the past two days to the last one.
Merlin also wanted to make that sound, so she tried to make a "ho" sound.
However, the young feathered serpent god did not stop. It had already crawled to Merlin's chest.
Merlin could feel the chilly sensation when the young Quetzalcoatl God came into contact with her skin.
Merlin was so scared that she was silent. Her breathing became rapid.
