Chapter 10: The Perfect Killing Machine

Hiss

I can't believe it... Seeing this scene, apart from uttering this one curse, Chu Xun could no longer express the shock and excitement in his heart with any other words

Interestingly, the Xenomorph seems to be specifically designed for hunting zombies. Although it is still unknown that the zombies' weak point is in the head, driven by its hunting instincts, the Xenomorph almost immediately opened its large mouth and ejected the inner jaw from its oral cavity the moment it pounced on the zombie.

According to his knowledge, the Xenomorph is a highly intelligent and terrifying creature with a keen insight into danger. Since this Xenomorph did not hesitate to devour the remains of zombies, it is likely that there is no threat. Moreover, and more importantly, the biological structure of the Xenomorph is extremely unique, with even its blood being a strong acid, so a mere biochemical virus should pose no threat to it

At this thought, Chu Xun's heart was filled with excitement

Under the action of a special hydraulic ejection physiological mechanism, the sharp inner fang produced an extremely terrifying destructive power, piercing through the zombie's skull in an instant, with filthy blood and brain matter shooting out and splattering onto the alien's body

And at this moment, it has become real; the terror that humanity has forgotten for hundreds of years will once again become people's nightmare

Puff

"Hungry..." said the trouble has come, not knowing if it was because of the bloody scent in the air, three zombies once again wandered out from the woods by the roadside. Although three zombies no longer pose any threat to Chu Xun at this moment, it is nonetheless an ominous sign.

Meanwhile, the other two zombies also discovered this strange creature and launched an attack on it

The alien is an exceptionally intelligent predator. After killing two zombies, it has realized that to eliminate such humanoid creatures, one must crush their skulls. Therefore, it pushed off the ground with its legs once more, pouncing on the last zombie, and its inner jaws struck with lightning speed, piercing through the skull of the final zombie

Upon noticing this subtle change, Chu Xun's eyes immediately brightened

If the Xenomorph were facing humans or other humanoid beings, it would have been able to achieve a triple kill in less than five seconds. However, at this moment, it is confronted with zombies that do not truly die unless their skulls are destroyed, so even if it crushes the hearts of those two zombies, it still cannot stop their movements

"I can't believe it, is this guy going to get poisoned..." Watching the alien voraciously devour the corpses of the zombies, Chu Xun instinctively wanted to intervene, but after a moment's thought, he ultimately allowed the alien to continue its feeding.

Swish

However, it seems a bit small... If there is anything that Chu Xun is not satisfied with, it is the size of this alien creature

Subsequently, the battle came to an end, and the entire ground was stained a dark red color by the brain matter and blood of the zombies

Click!

Meanwhile, its claws fiercely tore into the chest of another zombie. The razor-sharp claws instantly sliced through the zombie's chest cavity like a scalpel, then plunged in, shattering the zombie's heart. The black, putrid blood and decayed organ fluids splattered across the alien's body, then dripped down its smooth exterior.

After transforming into an adult, the alien's speed of feeding became even more astonishing. In just a matter of seconds, three zombies were completely devoured, bones and all, leaving only a foul stench of blood and brain matter on the ground. Moreover, whether it was just Chu Xun's illusion or not, he always felt that after consuming those three zombies, the alien's body seemed to have grown just a little bit larger.

The alien tail? Looking at the completely dark yet gleaming metallic spikes, Chu Xun's eyes suddenly lit up

As expected by Chu Xun, the sharp spike continued to extend outward after piercing through the blue gelatinous object, revealing a segmented, exoskeleton-covered, alien long tail. Subsequently, with a strange yet hoarse roar, the alien claws directly pierced through this layer of gelatinous material, and then with a violent tear, they shredded the things wrapped around it into fragments

After swallowing the original crystal core, the aberrant larva erupted with a brilliant blue light, which then gradually coalesced on the surface of its body, ultimately transforming into a strange blue gelatinous substance that completely enveloped the aberrant larva

He recalled that in the movie, the adult alien's length should be over 2 meters; however, the alien before him, although significantly larger than its previous juvenile state, still measured only about 1 meter in total length, which could be described as a miniature version.

Everyone knows that outside the city, one should never linger in one place for too long

However, even without being injured, the alien attacked by the "food" let out a furious hiss. It then forcefully jerked its long tail and, taking advantage of the momentum, swept it upward. The long tail sliced through the upper half of the zombie's body as if it were a sharp blade, cleaving it in two. A large amount of rotten and foul-smelling substances, including corpse blood, zombie entrails, brain matter, and other putrid fluids, shot up into the sky with the force of the alien's tail, then fell down like a rain of blood.

Puff

A creature that is merely one meter long can exhibit such terrifying combat power; once it grows to over two meters in size, how fearsome it will be

However, it is unfortunate that those listed on the menu today are destined to be the few unfortunate ones...

For zombies, any living being with fresh flesh and blood will be placed at the top of their menu

This is a terrifying creature born solely for the purpose of killing, a perfect predator. When it existed only in movies, it had already become a nightmare for countless people

The alien body is slender, yet its muscles are extremely well-developed. It first crouches down and then leaps violently. Driven by its powerful leg muscles, the alien's speed becomes terrifying, resembling a bolt of black lightning, as it charges directly in front of the zombie closest to Chu Xun, and then, using its momentum, knocks the zombie to the ground.

Fortunately, the speed of the alien transformation was even faster than Chu Xun had imagined. Just as Chu Xun was about to pick up the battle knife from the ground to deal with the three zombies, a muffled sound suddenly emanated from the strange blue gelatinous object. Subsequently, a sharp, diamond-shaped spike, resembling the tip of a spear, tore through the blue gelatinous object and appeared before Chu Xun's eyes.

Is this ... ... about to undergo metamorphosis? Looking at the deformed embryo wrapped in a blue gelatinous substance, Chu Xun's mind also recalled scenes from the "Alien" movie. He vaguely remembered that in order for the alien embryo to grow into an adult, it must undergo a molting process.

With claws as sharp as daggers, a long tail as fearsome as a spear, and fangs as bright as saw teeth, along with the inner fangs hidden deep within its mouth, ready to spring forth like bullets at any moment, this terrifying creature possesses a horrific destructive capability. Its outer skeleton, smooth and seemingly coated in oil, provides it with formidable defensive strength, making it difficult for even high-caliber rifles to inflict any real damage.

Even with a single mistake in between, the time it took for the alien to kill three zombies did not exceed ten seconds Such a killing efficiency is truly terrifying

"What a perfect killing machine..." As he gazed at the alien, which reflected a metallic sheen under the sunlight, Chu Xun couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration

What kind of imagination and creativity must one possess to create such a perfect killing machine

However, what shocked Chu Xun even more was yet to come. After killing three zombies, the alien unexpectedly opened its enormous mandibles and, using both its claws and teeth, began to frantically devour the remains of the three zombies.

At last, the most terrifying killing machine in the history of science fiction has fully descended upon this world

Before Chu Xun could issue the command to attack, the alien had already launched an assault on the three zombies under the influence of its hunting instincts

However, in the next moment, the alien dispelled Chu Xun's doubts with its actions

The zombie quickly launched a counterattack, seizing the tail of the alien that had pierced its chest with its elongated tail. Without regard for its hands being shredded and bloodied by the sharp exoskeletal armor of the alien's tail, it bit down on the alien's tail.

Before the two zombies could pounce on the alien, the alien launched a counterattack first. With a powerful kick of its legs, it propelled itself upward, while its long tail, encased in an exoskeleton, rose in unison, piercing through the chest cavity of one of the zombies like a bayonet

Whoosh

The only issue now is how long it will take for this aberrant larva to complete its metamorphosis; if the duration is too lengthy, it may attract unnecessary troubles

So, can such a creature, which appears to be even smaller than a fully grown husky, truly exhibit the lethal capabilities of an alien? ... Chu Xun was filled with doubt ...

However, it is sadly the case that the fragile teeth of the zombie are utterly incapable of harming the alien. With a single bite, a crisp cracking sound is heard, and all the zombie's teeth shatter, dropping bits of corpse blood onto the ground.

However, at that moment, a sudden and intense gunshot rang out from not far away
