Xiao Cheng and Xiao Yang stopped in front of Zhao Bu. Although Zhao Bu heard Lan Mu's warning, the two people in front of him were his companions, so he still went up to greet them.
Whether it was the appearance or the mottled traces on the spacesuits, they were definitely not fake. They were really the two people.
Of course, Lan Mu's warning was still effective, so Zhao Bu did not completely approach them. Instead, he stopped in front of the car and kept thinking about how the two survived. He tried to think of a possibility that could convince himself.
"Who are you …"
"Are you … a robot?"
The two of them explained to each other, but at the same time, they also noticed Lan Mu's existence.
No matter who saw it, they couldn't believe that Lan Mu was wearing clothes from Earth and standing casually on Mars.
Zhao Bu listened to the familiar tone of the two people, as well as the normal questions and clear thinking, and he was relieved.
He thought to himself, who else could it be but his companions? The two of them really did miraculously survive. There was oxygen in the exploration car, so they must have been resupplied in the car.
Zhao Bu was very excited and directly hugged them.
"Chi!"
Unexpectedly, just as he approached, the two people who were still in a daze suddenly changed. Black and red biomass instantly burst out from the spacesuit's supply. It turned out that there was a hole in the spacesuit's supply.
"What?" Zhao Bu hurriedly stepped back, but it seemed that it was too late.
There was sadness on his face. It was not that he did not expect this situation, but he did not want to believe it.
Lan Mu took a step forward and waved his hand. A torrent of ice and frost gushed out, covering the dark-red tentacles that were wriggling like lightning bolts with a layer of frost.
However, the frost condensed very slowly. As soon as it froze the tentacles, they struggled wildly and shook off countless ice shards.
"Hiss, in the Martian environment, my Frost Magic is weakened?"
Lan Mu instantly reacted. The Lich's Frost Magic was a magical element, and it had requirements for the casting environment. With Lan Mu's ability, he could cast it anywhere on Earth, but Mars was different. The elements here were weak, and the atmosphere was thin.
Under normal circumstances, it was easy to freeze in a low-pressure environment. The boiling point and freezing point were both decreasing. However, Lan Mu's frost was not a normal situation. The environment at the scene hindered the spread of magic elements. The power of Lan Mu's frost was not reduced, but to create the same effect on Earth and on Mars, the time it took was worlds apart.
His opponent would not give him time to slowly freeze, which was equivalent to weakening the power of Lan Mu's frost.
While the following elements were still slowly surging in the air, the enemy had already broken free from the frost that had arrived first. Its tentacles slammed into Zhao Bu's helmet.
Zhao Bu was the last survivor of this Mars operation. Lan Mu certainly could not let him die. Otherwise, was he going to let the spacecraft drive itself back?
Swish!
At the critical moment, a black shadow flashed in front of Zhao Bu, blocking the attack of the Black Light Blood Tentacles.
Lan Mu knew all too well about the Blacklight virus. This was something that only the super USB drive had recorded.
Its infectivity was average. Those infected would become zombies with a strong appetite for flesh and blood. A small number of them would evolve into Blacklight monsters.
Of course, these were all failed infections. The real Blacklight prototype was through DNA fusion. The virus could greatly enhance the intelligence, strength, and other physical elements of the species at the genetic level. At the same time, the prototype was like a blank piece of paper. It would instinctively know all kinds of knowledge that it had previously known, such as driving, language, and other common knowledge. However, they would forget themselves and their memories would be blank.
The biggest feature of the prototype was that it could reshape the appearance of the body, which allowed them to maintain a human form and even weaponize their limbs.
Not only that, the perfect infected could also devour other infected people and normal people to obtain their memories and DNA information. The absorbed flesh and blood could be converted into energy for self-healing.
To some extent, this was similar to the Zerg's parasitic worms.
In the works recorded in the super USB drive, the prototype of the virus, Alex, had developed various magical abilities of the Blacklight virus through repeated battles and devouring.
For example, claws, heavy hammers, tendrils, fist blades, and other combat forms. There were also super leaps, gliding, and vertical climbing Blacklight suction cups.
Of course, even the so-called prototype was no longer human. There was no such thing as a parasitic relationship. It was the Blacklight virus itself.
The two people in front of him were like that. The real Xiao Cheng and Xiao Yang had already died from suffocation. They were now just humanoid viruses with common knowledge and memories.
In order to prevent Zhao Bu from being devoured, Lan Mu threw out Bastet Metal at the critical moment to save his life.
The Bastet Metal expanded into an iron wall with a diameter of ten meters. Zhao Bu took the opportunity to escape.
"You were right. I'll remember that you saved my life again." Zhao Bu ran back in a panic, not forgetting to thank Lan Mu.
Lan Mu said indifferently, "Just don't drag me down again."
Zhao Bu was very embarrassed. He looked sadly at his companion who had become a monster and could not help but feel sad.
"Moroge, what's wrong with them now?"
Lan Mu gave a rough explanation of the Blacklight virus and said, "... Those scarlet fungi are the product of the Red Light virus infecting the Martian microbes. After obtaining human genes from Old Nie, they became the Blacklight virus and began the path of evolution. Then, they infected your other two companions. After they died, they were reborn because of the virus, but they are no longer your companions."
Lan Mu could tell at a glance that something was wrong with these two and quickly connected them to the Blacklight virus because his Lich consciousness had keenly noticed that they did not have souls.
Hua Nation could not have sent two clones to Mars, right? The only explanation was that these two corpses had gained the ability to move on their own.
At this time, the two had completely revealed their monstrous forms. Countless knots of black and red muscle tissue burst out, wrapping around their spacesuits to form a biological coat. Their hands were also waving muscle tendrils.
However, that was all. The lack of biomass had severely inhibited the evolution of the Blacklight virus. No matter how powerful it was, it could not create a large pile of meat out of nothing.
Looking at it this way, the Insectoids were still more powerful. Their conversion of energy and matter was so perverse that it made one's hair stand on end.
"At this level, the Balrog should be able to deal with them with one punch."
Lan Mu controlled the Bastet metals while calculating the value of the Blacklight virus.
"I wonder if the dark power of the undead can control a berserk body..."
Zhao Bu saw the two monsters lunging at him, but they were stopped in mid-air by the black metal. The flying metal blades cut through the two, but the monsters whose limbs were cut off quickly regenerated themselves.
Black and red muscle tissue emerged from the severed parts, allowing them to reconnect even if they were cut at the waist, pulling them back to heal.
The Bastet metals were hard, but even if they were thinned to increase their sharpness, there were no additional effects.
It was not that there was no way to completely eliminate the Blacklight virus, such as using high-energy weapons to destroy its molecular structure.
Or using the same Blacklight virus, or even a stronger virus to devour and assimilate it.
Lan Mu wanted to try to subdue it, so he controlled two pieces of Bastet metals at the same time. The moment he swung one monster away, he chopped the other into eight pieces.
The dark power hurriedly invaded, trying to control it.
There was a big difference between the undead and zombies, the biggest difference being the soul. The undead must have their soul controlling their body. Whether the body was human, beast, or dragon, as long as they had a strong enough soulfire, they would have absolute control over their own body.
However...
"The dark power can't erode them... Without soulfire, they can't become undead. The flesh of these two corpses has been completely infected by the virus. My dark power can't get in at all. "
They were not undead, nor were they living humans. They were unique life forms of viruses.
Lan Mu shook his head and gave up on the idea of turning the Blacklight virus into undead.
"Zhao Bu, return to your spaceship!"
Lan Mu's voice echoed in Zhao Bu's mind. Zhao Bu also knew that it was too dangerous to stay here. After a slight hesitation, he ran toward the landing site of the spaceship.
At the same time, Lan Mu also headed toward the xenomorph's nest. As he swept past the monsters, he casually pulled them into the space of the ring.
Zhao Bu ran some distance and looked back with concern. He was afraid that Lan Mu would not be able to deal with these two monsters. At the same time, he felt a little guilty for abandoning his savior.
Even though he was shouldering an important mission for the country, he still made up his mind to drive the spaceship to save him in a while.
"Eh? Where are the monsters? "
Unexpectedly, when he turned back to look, the scene was calm. Lan Mu had already run a few hundred meters away. The two pieces of metal danced around him and quickly burrowed into Lan Mu's sleeves. As for the two monsters, they were gone in the time it took Zhao Bu to twist his body.
"It's done?"
Only the tentacles of the monsters that Lan Mu had cut off were left on the ground, lying quietly. They had not had time to merge back into the body.
And these remnants of the limbs were burning with flames, no one knew when they had been ignited.
In Zhao Bu's eyes, it was as if Lan Mu had blasted the enemy into smithereens in an instant.
