Chapter 220: Duan Yan's Call for Help
(28 points)
The forest was very quiet, without even a bird, because of the fire just now, most of the creatures were driven out, and those who stayed were creatures that were not afraid of fire.
The hiss of a Xenomorph was like thunder in the forest, making everyone nervous. Storm Ororo waved her hand, and a bolt of thunder fell from the sky.
Duan Yan also reacted after Ororo. He saw him forcibly support a barrier to protect himself, and at the same time quickly retreat. The man with the deathly aura behind him stepped forward. The originally seemingly thin and weak man suddenly expanded, opened his black clothes, and the bulging muscles told others how powerful his strength was.
And when the two made various movements, Ye Nan had already taken action. Only his hands were seen crossing, meeting the Xenomorph.
The Xenomorph opened its mouth and spat out a tongue. It was fast originally, and now it was even faster. It was seen in the blink of an eye that it had already arrived in front of Ye Nan, and the barbs on the long tongue emitted a devilish luster in the air.
Ye Nan's expression tightened. One hand crossed the tip of the Xenomorph's tongue and gently slapped the Xenomorph's tongue, knocking the Xenomorph's tongue away.
This was the method he summarized through the battle with the Xenomorph just now. From just now to now, he found that the Xenomorph had no other attack methods except the tongue and venom. He didn't know if this was innate to the Xenomorph, or because the Xenomorph had just been born for a short time and was not familiar with its body, but this gave him a chance.
The Xenomorph's attack methods are single. As long as the Xenomorph's attack methods are knocked out, the Xenomorph can be easily finished off. At worst, the Xenomorph can be beaten into a toothless tiger, and in the end, it will be kneaded by him.
Ye Nan slapped the Xenomorph's tongue away. He only felt a slight pain in his palm, but he couldn't care about his palm. He saw his body rush directly over and collide with the Xenomorph.
Hiss!
The Xenomorph roared angrily. It didn't understand why its means suddenly failed. It had clearly attacked, but it would fall down, so it was very angry. Its mouth brewed saliva and spat it out with a puff.
When the Xenomorph moved its mouth, Ye Nan knew what the Xenomorph wanted to do. He adjusted his body slightly so that he could avoid the Xenomorph's corrosive saliva.
Sure enough, just when Ye Nan had adjusted his body, he saw the Xenomorph spit out its mouth. He dodged slightly and avoided the Xenomorph's saliva.
Ah!
Only two screams were heard from behind Ye Nan. The deathly aura man who had become a strong man slowly dissolved under the Xenomorph's saliva. His hands covered his face and slowly dissolved.
"What a terrifying saliva." Ye Nan was shocked in his heart. He already knew that the face of this deathly aura man who had no sense of existence was probably ruined.
He saw him, and then thought that this saliva was spat at him. If it weren't for his fast dodging, the one who would be ruined would be Ye Nan himself.
"Wait, no, there are two wails." Ye Nan's heart was suddenly nervous. Behind him, except for the deathly aura man who had already been hit and had no sense of existence, there were only Duan Yan and Storm Ororo.
Among them, the one who worried him most was Storm Ororo.
Because Storm Ororo's ability, he needed it very much, because if he wanted to kill the Xenomorph, without the support of heavy weapons, he couldn't finish her off at all, and Storm Ororo was his heavy weapon....
The lightning from nature itself, when gathered to a certain extent, will explode with unparalleled energy. Although because Storm Ororo was directing it, the cloud layer that should have gathered energy released its power in advance, resulting in the power of thunder being much smaller, not comparable to the thunder brewed by nature itself, but the thunder she summoned was still a rare help.
In Ye Nan's original plan, he would rush in front to attract the Xenomorph Queen, while Storm Ororo would gather the energy of nature in the back, find the opportunity, and kill with one blow.
-But if Storm Ororo was injured here, his plan would go bankrupt directly.
"Don't be Ororo." Ye Nan was uneasy in his heart. His gaze crossed the deathly aura man and looked at Storm Ororo. He only saw a storm rising in front of Storm Ororo at some point, rotating around, and she herself happened to look over and met Ye Nan's eyes.
In an instant, Ye Nan understood the meaning inside, which was concern, tension, worry, and because he saw that the other party was fine, he was relieved.
They naturally didn't really care about each other. What they cared about was their own tasks because he and she both knew that once the other party had any accident, their own plans or tasks would go bankrupt directly, so for their own sake, they must care about the safety of the other party.
Both of them found that they were fine, and then connected to the two screams just now. Both of them aimed their gaze at the back at the same time.
Duan Yan, who had long planned to retreat and hide, was screaming like a pig at this time. A tongue from his right shoulder, from back to front, pierced his shoulder. The blood hadn't flowed down yet, and it was corroded by the corrosive liquid on the tongue.
This was another Xenomorph. When Duan Yan intended to stay away from the battlefield, it suddenly attacked Duan Yan. Duan Yan's mental barrier on the fierce tongue did not show its due defense, but like a piece of glass, it broke at a touch.
"Ye Nan, save me." Duan Yan roared forcefully. The severe pain paralyzed his brain, making him unable to think carefully. He could only place his hope on Ye Nan.
His instinct told him that only by asking Ye Nan for help could he be saved. This instinct was shaped by his constant experience.
During the time he was in contact with Storm Ororo, he almost figured out Storm Ororo's temper. He knew that if the danger he faced was not enough to threaten her, she would reach out to help him, but if the danger he encountered could bring threats to Storm Ororo, Storm Ororo would abandon him directly.
And Ye Nan is different. For the sake of his partners, he puts everything he has into it. This is Ye Nan, so he can only place his hope on Ye Nan.
"Please, save me, I can tell you the full content of the brain development plan." Duan Yan's survival instinct exploded, overpowering the pain he received, as if at this moment, all the pain had disappeared, and his brain was unprecedentedly active.
"Douglas is restarting the brain development plan. He plans to cultivate mutants in large quantities. He plans to put mutants on the table. He even plans to become a mutant himself."
"Save me, save me, I will tell you everything I know, just ask you to save me."
Duan Yan roared forcefully, the speed of speech was as fast as four syllables per second, but he made all the words clear, letting Ye Nan understand the meaning.
"Save him." Ye Nan only thought about it for a moment, and then made up his mind to save Duan Yan.
For Ye Nan, Douglas is a very mysterious person. This person not only mastered huge wealth, but also mastered very huge underground power. As far as it is now, he should have mastered the X-Men....
All along, he didn't understand. If the plot in X-Men appeared in this world, which side would the X-Men stand on? Why did Professor X convince those mutants to let the mutants recognize his words and believe that humans would coexist peacefully with mutants? But now he understands, because of Douglas.
As long as Douglas is willing, the media under major consortiums will favor mutants. As long as the media's wind direction changes, the public will not be too hostile to mutants.
Think about it, when the media consistently promotes mutants as heroes and produces various evidence, and no other media produces evidence unfavorable to mutants, the public will naturally treat mutants as heroes according to the media's guidance.
It's just that knowing is one thing, and how to deal with it is another. Facing the mutants of the X-Men, Ye Nan really didn't have much chance of winning.
A Storm Ororo made him feel a bit of a headache. If it were the entire X-Men plus the most mysterious and powerful Professor X, Ye Nan really didn't know how to deal with it.
So knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, you can win every battle. As long as he gets Douglas's information, he can react in time.
"How can you betray Mr. Douglas's information." Storm Ororo exclaimed.
Duan Yan can also be considered a member of the X-Men. Although most members didn't see this mutant created by technology as their companion, no matter what, it couldn't change the fact that he was a member of the X-Men.
Now this member of the X-Men wants to betray Douglas's information. This is betrayal, he is a traitor.
In an instant, Storm Ororo wanted to kill Duan Yan here, but this thought only appeared for a moment and then went out.
The reason is that she must cooperate with Ye Nan to defeat the Xenomorph Queen. No matter what, she is also a member of humanity, and not only that, she also bears the responsibility of protecting humanity.
The appearance of the Xenomorph is a huge challenge to humanity, a huge threat. If it is allowed to grow like this, it may really appear as Ye Nan said: human civilization is destroyed, and the end of the world is coming.
For Ye Nan's words, she can be considered to believe in it deeply. It is precisely because of this trust that she cannot make the move to kill Duan Yan because once she kills, she will conflict with Ye Nan.
"Forget it, I will spare your life this time."
Storm Ororo's mind had already turned thousands of times in an instant, and Duan Yan also escaped a disaster because of this. Otherwise, with Storm Ororo's power, if she wanted to kill Duan Yan, in this situation, Duan Yan could not escape no matter what, even with Ye Nan's rescue, it was impossible.
From the moment he decided to save Duan Yan, Ye Nan had already taken action. He ignored the Xenomorph behind him, took a step forward, and unknowingly, he entered the state he entered last time again.
Like a fish, it should have been swimming freely, but because of the glue, his degree of freedom was greatly reduced.
Ye Nan understands that this is space. Space is invisible, invisible and untouchable, but when he wants to exert his speed to the extreme, space shows its power.
Binding, firmly binding Ye Nan in place, this is the ability of space, and it is also the shackles of space, the shackles added to his hands, making his speed only reach this step. If he wants to continue to accelerate, then break the shackles, break the shackles added to his head by space, and break everything, so that he is free.
Ye Nan doesn't know what he will face after breaking the shackles, whether it is exerting speed to the extreme, or the legendary teleportation. He really wants to try, but he can't try. The invisible shackles are there. If he wants to break them, he needs great power....
"Damn it, am I just bound like this?" Ye Nan thought to himself. He was very unwilling. He knew that space was binding himself, and he also had the heart to break the shackles of space added to him, but he couldn't break them.
Just like a fish swimming in glue, knowing that it is glue binding itself, but it just can't get rid of the binding of glue because in its feeling, glue is everywhere, and it far exceeds its own power.
Ye Nan now is also like this. Space is everywhere and exceeds his own power. He feels that even if his power expands dozens of times, expands hundreds of times, he cannot break space.
"It seems I should think of other ways. If space is glue, then I will become a sharp blade and cut off the glue." Ye Nan thought to himself.
These thoughts, although complicated and many, are only a second for reality, no, not even a second, just one-tenth of a second, one-hundredth of a second, or even one-thousandth of a second.
Ye Nan quickly came to Duan Yan, grabbed Duan Yan with one slap, and pulled Duan Yan back before the Xenomorph could react. Although this process was very violent, and because the tongue was still in Duan Yan's body, when Duan Yan was pulled out violently, a series of flesh and blood were left in place by the barbs on the tongue. Only a large hole appeared on Duan Yan's right shoulder, constantly flowing blood outward.
Duan Yan, who escaped from death, turned pale, but there was an irrepressible joy on his face. This was a joy of celebration, a smile of surviving a disaster.
"If it were a previous teammate, I would have been abandoned." Duan Yan didn't know why, suddenly thought of his previous teammates, and his face was dim.
"Remember what you said. When you escape the danger, tell me all the information. Remember, take care of yourself and don't die." Ye Nan exhorted. He finally saved Duan Yan just now, and he didn't want Duan Yan to die like this, making his efforts in vain.
"Rest assured, I won't die. Not only will I not die, but I will also be alive and kicking." Duan Yan smiled lightly. He made up his mind that when he escaped, he would take refuge in Ye Nan because only here with Ye Nan could he ensure that he lived well and would not be thrown away like garbage by his teammates.
Ye Nan naturally didn't know what Duan Yan thought, so when he saw Duan Yan's smile, he snorted coldly, and then devoted himself to the battle.
The Xenomorph saw that the food in its mouth was snatched away by others, and immediately roared angrily. It didn't think about it, and just rushed over like this. The long tongue came out, broke the air, and made a series of whistling sounds.
"Hmph, are you at your wit's end?" Ye Nan snorted coldly, expressing disdain for the Xenomorph's attack method.
It comes and goes with just these two attack methods, and it doesn't know how to change at all, just like a dull swordsman, only knowing how to perform according to the routine of sword techniques. Once the sword technique is broken, it will be like a dead dog, kneaded by others.
Ye Nan moved his body slightly, avoided the direct attack of the tongue, clenched his fists, and smashed down from top to bottom.
Snap!
The Xenomorph's tongue was hit on the ground by Ye Nan. Just like that Xenomorph just now, this Xenomorph also had a brief astonishment.
For the Xenomorph, its tongue is its absolute trump card, but this trump card was just displayed and was broken, which made it a bit astonished. It naturally didn't know that not long ago, its trump card had been displayed countless times by its companions and was no longer a trump card.
In fact, the reason why the trump card is the trump card is entirely because of the secrecy of the trump card. Any trump card, once leaked, will be broken by others. This is an immutable truth...
However, the reaction of this Xenomorph is also fast. After seeing its tongue broken, it immediately stretched out its claws and jumped fiercely.
Ye Nan looked at the Xenomorph's action and smiled. This action of the Xenomorph reminded him of the Velociraptor that escaped when he first arrived on the island because that Velociraptor also used the same method to deal with him.
"Perhaps the predecessor of this Xenomorph was that Velociraptor. If so, then it is really that I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."
Ye Nan smiled lightly, took a step, and rushed to the Xenomorph. When the Xenomorph jumped up, its lower abdomen was also exposed.
Only Ye Nan was seen hitting the lower abdomen of the Xenomorph, punching the lower abdomen of the Xenomorph, and knocking the Xenomorph back.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking the air came from behind. Ye Nan didn't think about it, and grabbed the Xenomorph that was flying backward. His right hand grabbed into the abdomen of the Xenomorph, endured the pain of flesh and blood burning, grabbed the Xenomorph, and threw it backward.
The Xenomorph that was confronting Ye Nan took advantage of Ye Nan and this Xenomorph fighting, and quietly ambushed from behind. Unexpectedly, Ye Nan turned around and threw the other Xenomorph over. Caught off guard, its tongue pierced into the body of the Xenomorph, broke its protection, and pierced into the flesh and blood.
If it were before, it would be very happy. After all, it hit its prey with one blow, but now, it couldn't be happy. Its tongue was like being thrown into sulfuric acid, very painful. In the blink of an eye, a tongue was melted, and it immediately turned around in place, and the roar of miserable wailing kept coming from its mouth.
"Storm Ororo." Ye Nan turned his head angrily. The situation just now was a bit urgent. The Xenomorph ambushed from behind him. If he was not careful, he would have to explain it here, so his heart was still lingering in fear until now.
Storm Ororo, as a collaborator who pressed the formation for him, did not contain the Xenomorph, allowing the Xenomorph to successfully ambush him, and even didn't have a reminder.
"Sorry, I just..." Storm Ororo was slightly apologetic. Her attention was all on Duan Yan just now, and her containment of the other Xenomorph was relaxed, so that it went to ambush Ye Nan, and even didn't have a reminder.
Not far from Storm Ororo, Duan Yan's shoulder was healing rapidly. The original large hole was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seemingly noticing Storm Ororo's gaze, Duan Yan raised his head, his face with a pale color, "I am an artificial mutant. In my genes, there are not only Professor X's genes, but even Wolverine's genes, I have them."
"Hmph!" Storm Ororo showed unhappiness. She knew that Wolverine's recovery ability was superb, but when Wolverine's recovery ability was stolen by others, she didn't know what it felt like in her heart.
It's like a partner's home was stolen, the thief was standing not far away, and was still counting his spoils openly, but she couldn't do anything to this thief. This feeling made her very unhappy.
"I will tell Mr. Douglas about your betrayal of Mr. Douglas when I go back. You should take care of yourself."
"I take care of myself, I will naturally take care of myself, not only will I take care of myself, but I will also live very well. This experimental specimen of mine should be very valuable in his eyes." Duan Yan smiled miserably, "As a person who doesn't even know his own past, since I have memory, I have been injected with two kinds of genes. I am really a failure to live."
Hearing Duan Yan say this, Storm Ororo suddenly felt that she had misunderstood Duan Yan before.
Admittedly, Duan Yan is an artificial mutant, a mutant who stole their mutant power, but this is not what he wanted, this is not what he wanted, he is just a poor experimental specimen, he has no right to choose at all....
"Thousands of people who don't know their past are shivering in small rooms every day, waiting for an unknown fate. Whether they die or live, they are all entrusted to an unknown fate."
"I still remember what I had to do every day at that time, which was to pray to the gods in the sky to save me and let me live."
"I succeeded. Out of thousands of experimental subjects, only I survived. Others have become the victims of this experiment."
Duan Yan became more excited as he spoke, and the more he spoke, the more miserable his expression became.
"I'm sorry, I..." Storm Ororo wanted to say a word of comfort, but found that she couldn't say it at all. Thousands of words, when they reached her mouth, all turned into a mouthful of saliva and swallowed back.
She asked herself, her words could not move Duan Yan, could not comfort Duan Yan, thousands of words were just passing clouds, no words could enter his heart and comfort his injured heart.
"Life is so hard-won that it makes me extreme."
"I quietly concealed my ability, let Douglas think the experiment failed, and escaped the fate of the experimental specimen. Unfortunately, it won't work." Duan Yan shook his head.
"Why." Storm Ororo couldn't help asking, "Why won't it work? Aren't you fine now? Don't worry, I promise you, when I go back, I won't tell Douglas, I will hide it for you."
Storm Ororo said words that even she was surprised by.
"Hiding is useless." Duan Yan's face was even more pale, "Douglas recovered his youth and obtained the legendary immortality. Now, he has set his sights on power."
"He said that immortality is not eternal, immortality is just defeating time. Once you encounter danger, you will still die."
"Immortality that defeats time, plus the power to defeat all unknown dangers, combined, is eternal, is the eternity that can live until the destruction of the universe."
"Eternity that lives until the destruction of the universe?" Storm Ororo was shocked. Her first reaction was impossible.
Since the Big Bang, the universe has experienced an unknown length of time. She only knows that the time of the universe should be calculated in billions of years.
A person, if he wants to live until the destruction of the universe, not only needs a life that can live until the destruction of the universe, but also needs the power to resist the destruction of the planet.
After all, Earth is just a planet in the universe that is not worth mentioning. Compared with the long life of the universe, the life of Earth is not worth mentioning at all. Douglas wants to live until the destruction of the universe, so he must face the destruction of Earth, and facing the destruction of a planet, she really can't imagine.
"That's right, Douglas wants to do what our ancient Chinese Qin Shi Huang wanted to do. No, what he did is greater than Qin Shi Huang, and more difficult than Qin Shi Huang." Duan Yan gave a bitter smile.
"Perhaps, by then, humans can already perform interstellar travel. As long as human technology is developed enough, avoiding planet explosion is not impossible." Storm Ororo's thoughts swirled in her heart.
Over there, Ye Nan just glanced at Storm Ororo and entered the bitter battle again. One Xenomorph's tongue was melted, and the other Xenomorph was seriously injured, but they were Xenomorphs after all. The injured Xenomorph still had great threats.
Hiss! Hiss!
Two Xenomorphs lay side by side on the ground, roaring at Ye Nan, and corrosive blood kept flowing out, corroding the ground into one pit after another.
Ye Nan looked at them with a solemn expression, not daring to take action easily, just confronting them quietly.
His hands were burning with heat, and the skin and flesh of his five fingers were stained with the Xenomorph's blood, which had already been corroded beyond recognition. On the five fingers, white bones were vaguely revealed.
However, on his five fingers, flesh and blood were regenerating rapidly. As time passed, his injuries would be as good as before. The longer this battle dragged on, the more favorable it would be for him. (To be continued.
