Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 17 Eyeball Collector

"what!"

Yang Si's first reaction after landing was to scream out instinctively out of fear.

But next second.

After finding out that she was safe and sound, her face immediately turned red again, and she stared blankly at Xie Shen with her eyes wide open.

I don't know if the blushing is due to being too excited or because of shyness.

"Go!"

Different from Yang Si who was in a daze.

After landing, Xie Shen grabbed Yang Si's arm and rushed towards the escape passage without thinking. The latter followed him closely like a puppet.

More than ten meters is roughly equivalent to the height of a three-story building.

If an ordinary person falls from this height, he will either die or be injured.

However, considering that the gravity people experience in the space station is only 80% of that on Earth, the casualty rate is greatly reduced.

Therefore, although Xie Shen's action of jumping from a high place attracted some people's attention, it was not so shocking.

In the living area hall.

While Xie Shen and Yang Si were running towards the escape passage, countless people had also rushed out of the capsule rooms one after another.

Everyone was scrambling for the first place, pushing and shoving each other.

Suddenly, shouts, curses, and screams rang out from the crowd one after another.

——The noises made by humans seem to stimulate the stinging jellyfish and make them more active.

In the escape passage.

Xie Shen was able to observe:
After hearing the noise coming from the crowd, the eyeballs in the body of the stinging jellyfish began to wriggle at a strange frequency.

Originally, these eyeballs were crowded in the center of the stinging jellyfish's body.

But accompanied by waves of wriggling, they quickly dispersed and quickly spread all over the body of the stinging jellyfish.

Even inside the tentacles at the end of its tail, one can see eyeballs densely packed together.

If you observe more carefully, you will find that:

Almost every one of those eyeballs was staring at a human in the hall.

With tens of thousands of eyeballs combined, it is easy to capture every move of all the humans present.

The movement of the eyeballs seemed to be a precursor to the attack of the stinging jellyfish.

When its eyeballs stopped moving, the tentacles at its tail began to dance wildly as if they had received some kind of command.

Every time the tentacles extend, they will grab a person and lift him into the air.

And just as the man in the suit said: these tentacles are all covered with barbs and are suspected to be highly poisonous.

Anyone who is caught in the air by the tentacles will pass out completely after a few seconds.

Then, the entire body of the person being carried away will melt into blood at an incredible speed.

The blood flowed down the tentacles and quickly entered the body of the stinging jellyfish, leaving only a pair of eyeballs that were still wriggling.

Obviously.

The stinging jellyfish feeds on human blood.

As for the moving eyeballs.
Although the stinging jellyfish would take its eyeballs into its body, Xie Shen couldn't figure out the reason.

Perhaps the stinging jellyfish themselves do not have vision.

Do they collect eyeballs just to be able to 'see' their prey?

Such a strange way of eating and its incomprehensible behavior patterns make it obvious that this cannot be a creature from Earth.

After realizing this, Xie Shen couldn't help but ask Yang Si beside him: "Do you know where these monsters come from?"

"Not sure." Yang Si pulled the corner of Xie Shen's clothes and replied, "Maybe it's outer space. Anyway, these monsters started to appear not long after the space station was built, and until now, no one has figured out how to deal with them."

Hearing what Yang Si said, Xie Shen suddenly inexplicably recalled the spherical weapons held by the guards of the "Tower" prison.

——Those spherical weapons can spew out countless red rays, which can easily cut the human body into countless pieces.

Thinking of this, he asked Yang Si again: "There should be a lot of high-tech weapons in the space station, right? For example, the kind that can emit lasers."

"It's useless, all useless." Yang Si shook his head and said, "Those jellyfish are like they don't exist. No matter what kind of weapon, no one can touch their bodies, except humans."

this.
Xie Shen frowned and said, "The question is, how can humans deal with these monsters without weapons?"

Yang Si said helplessly: "So, every time a stinging jellyfish appears, the high-level personnel in the space station can only watch and wait for the jellyfish to eat their fill and then leave on their own."

Although the tentacles at the tail of the stinging jellyfish are extremely fast, ordinary people have no way to avoid them.

But the number of these tentacles is limited after all, and the number of unlucky people that can be captured each time is not that many.

Plus, it takes time to digest these people.
So while Xie Shen and Yang Si were talking, people in the living area hall had already rushed into the escape passage one after another, risking their lives.

time flies.

As more and more people gathered in the escape passage, the stinging jellyfish in the hall gradually stopped eating.

It’s not that they don’t want to continue eating, but their bodies really can’t hold any more.

——Every time the stinging jellyfish kill a person, they will melt the other person's body into blood and absorb it, and then stuff the person's eyeballs into their bodies.

As more and more victims died at the hands of the stinging jellyfish, their bodies became swollen.

Those eyeballs that were densely packed inside the body were about to burst.

'Woo'

Maybe he had eaten and drunk enough.

in the hall.

A stinging jellyfish suddenly made a loud whale call.

The next second, the rest of the thorny jellyfish began to make whale calls as if in response.

As the whales roared, the bodies of these jellyfish gradually began to turn from solid to virtual, until they completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

This is apparently not the first time that the Tiangong Space Station has been attacked by monsters.

After the danger subsided, the survivors hiding in the escape passage returned to their respective capsule rooms as if nothing had happened.

After this night of commotion, Yang Si no longer had the interest to sleep with Xie Shen.

She faced Xie Shen, lowered her head and said, "Then I'll go back to my room. You should get some rest early."

"Ah."

Xie Shen's focus was not on Yang Si.

At this moment, he was still staring at the place where the thorny jellyfish disappeared, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Pity.
Those stinging jellyfish are suspected to have two special abilities: 'conversion between reality and virtuality' and 'teleportation'.

If Xie Shen could have the Nascent Soul stage cultivation of his previous life, perhaps he could be inspired and create his own spells with the effects of 'conversion between virtual and real' and 'teleportation'.

At worst, you can catch one of them.

Whether it is used for refining equipment or refining pills, you can get some benefits from it.

But now, Xie Shen has trouble even protecting himself when facing the spiny jellyfish.

This gave him an inexplicable sense of crisis.

He needs to get stronger.

ASAP.
