Chapter 38: Gap, Depth
The fundamental reason why Xenomorphs are perfect hunters lies in their ability to evolve.
That is, Xenomorphs can reorganize and evolve through the DNA of their hosts, absorbing the hosts' superior traits to survive and reproduce in different environments.
William Stryker, who intensely hates Mutants, would use what to cultivate Xenomorphs after learning of this trait—Lynn didn't even need to think to know the answer.
He even felt that this Base was built specifically to trap Mutants.
A large number of Xenomorphs appeared in Lynn and Tony's sight, rushing in from several passages connected to the hall, making Lynn feel as if he was seeing a horde of zombies.
"They're getting desperate," Lynn said calmly.
Xenomorphs are inherently hunters skilled in stealth and ambush, but now they were launching an undisguised, collective attack on them... This could only mean that the person controlling the Xenomorphs was desperate.
"Heh," Tony chuckled, his eyes filled with a cold light.
After entering the Base with Lynn, Tony learned about the Xenomorphs' growth method from Lynn and developed a strong aversion to these creatures and their puppet masters.
Now, seeing the large number of Xenomorphs, he only felt a surge of anger rise from the bottom of his heart.
Because every single Xenomorph represented a human life.
The next second, a large number of missiles ejected from his suit and shot into the passages.
Boom, boom!
Fierce explosions echoed in the passages, and the entire third underground level shook violently.
Numerous Xenomorphs were blown to pieces, the passages utterly destroyed, and yellowish-green blood and dismembered limbs splattered wantonly within the collapsing passages, like a cruel, haphazardly splattered graffiti.
The cannon fodder has been cleared.
Lynn sensed the lingering hostility in the passages and said to Tony, "You don't have much ammo left, do you? Leave the rest to me."
The Xenomorphs that survived were basically Super Xenomorphs.
Tony's expression was somewhat solemn as he said, "Not much, but enough to take out all these disgusting things."
While the two were talking, the surviving Xenomorphs launched another attack.
And the moment they attacked, they displayed the Mutant abilities they inherited from their hosts.
One Xenomorph's body blurred, and several phantoms leaped from it, rushing towards them deceptively.
Tony curled his lip, and after Jarvis marked the real body, a palm cannon sent it away.
And almost at the same time as Tony's attack, a blurry Shadow, which had appeared above the two of them at some point, bared its ferocious fangs at them.
Hiss!
That Xenomorph with camouflage ability, drooling nauseating saliva, lunged at Tony with bared fangs and claws.
Lynn expressionlessly grabbed the Xenomorph's head and slammed it against the ceiling with terrifying force.
Crack!
The Xenomorph's head instantly deformed, and before the acid blood could flow out, Lynn had already thrown it away.
Lynn didn't take these Xenomorphs seriously, but he was wary of their acid blood.
It would be great if he could break through the Sixth Sense.
A thought flashed through Lynn's mind, but he suddenly vanished from his spot and plunged into the Xenomorphs.
And almost simultaneously, Tony also activated the 'Lynn Combat Template,' charging at the Xenomorphs on the other side with astonishing speed.
Spitting Fire?
Then rip apart that Xenomorph's mouth.
Projecting fear?
Rip off its head, and there will be no fear.
Spraying slime?
Stab it into the wall, let's see how it sprays then.
Body hardening?
It makes a good weapon when swung around... Lynn was like a killing machine, directly tearing through one passage.
These Xenomorphs inherited Mutant abilities, but how strong could the Mutant abilities of Mutants killed by Xenomorphs be?
In front of Lynn's formidable physical prowess, these seemingly powerful Super Xenomorphs were not enough.
At this moment, Lynn displayed the power of the Cosmo.
Body, Will, Soul, Combat Instinct... a standard hexagonal warrior.
Boom!
Lynn grabbed a Xenomorph by its tail, using it as a weapon to smash away the last Xenomorph in the passage, then kicked a piece of rubble to blow apart that Xenomorph's head before flying back to the center of the hall.
He looked towards the passage where Tony was, and upon seeing the crimson laser light up, he knew that Tony's battle was also about to end.
But there were still many Xenomorphs.
Lynn glanced at them, then flew towards Tony.
They weren't here to clear out Xenomorphs.
Although he no longer sensed Raven in danger, finding Raven quickly was the primary goal.
"Tony! Let's go!"
Lynn flew past Tony, heading for the fourth floor.
Tony looked at the Xenomorph horde behind him, his eyelid twitching, and flew to the fourth floor with Lynn.
At the same time, after circling the fourth floor, Raven finally located the entrance to the fifth floor.
It was at the deepest part of the incubation zone.
And as she looked into the depths of the incubation zone, she felt a sense of danger emanating from the darkness.
She hesitated for a few seconds but still walked towards the entrance.
Although it was somewhat dangerous, it wasn't enough to make her afraid.
As she entered the incubation zone and walked deeper, she saw a black egg.
And the head of that egg... Deadpool?
This guy was captured by Xenomorphs and brought here?
Raven's eyes widened in surprise; she glanced at the corpses on the ground and the Xenomorph larvae gnawing on them, then approached Deadpool in her Xenomorph form.
"Hey! Buddy! Are you the baby's sitter?" Deadpool asked with a grin.
Raven rolled her eyes, waved her sharp claws to free Deadpool from the egg, then ignored Deadpool and ran towards the entrance.
Seeing this scene, even Deadpool was stunned.
A Xenomorph saving him?
Deadpool was silent for a moment, then happily said, "Wow, have I even conquered Xenomorphs with my charm?"
He chuckled softly, looking at his chest.
The infant showed no signs of bursting through his chest yet, much slower than others.
"Sorry, you were just an accident after I got drunk," he said with a grin, and then... poof!
He drew a knife from his back and plunged it into his chest cavity; the squelching sound of the blade churning flesh overlapped with the infant's shriek.
The larva sprayed acid blood in defense, corroding Deadpool's flesh, but his powerful self-healing ability simultaneously repaired his body.
Deadpool, without changing his expression, reached into the wound, grabbed the acid-spitting larva, and actually pulled it out of his body with force.
A large amount of fresh blood flowed from the wound, and because the larva had established biological connections with his internal organs, his various organs suffered varying degrees of damage when he violently pulled out the larva.
But he was Deadpool.
Such a severe injury only made him grimace.
At this moment, Deadpool's hand holding the larva had been corroded to the bone by the acid blood, but he nonchalantly tossed the larva lightly into the air.
Sizzle, sizzle!
A cold flash of a blade, and Deadpool sliced the larva into pieces.
Deadpool stared at the fragments for several seconds, and only when they showed no movement did he mischievously say, "Sorry, I don't want you to inherit my handsomeness."
He turned his head to look into the depths of the incubation zone, remembered the strange Xenomorph, and then, still bleeding, chased after it.
