Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

Chapter 121 Flood Demon ([-])

There was a pause for a few seconds, and just when Tote was wondering if he should repeat himself, Tommy replied: "I'm coming over now."

Heavy footsteps came to them from the second floor. Tommy looked at the lifeless Capas and shook his head slightly.

"His dog tags—" Cecilia reached out to Capas, but Tommy stopped her.

"We can't take this risk. You don't have Thor's hammer. You should try to reduce contact with infected people." Tommy said. He picked up Capas' body and walked towards the room where the Grunts were - he He wanted the Grunts to give him more information through a corpse.

The corpse of Kapas was placed in front of the Grunts, and they were startled.

"An infected person! Tear its body into pieces quickly!" Grunt No. [-] shouted at the top of his voice, "It's not dead yet. You must destroy the body completely, otherwise they will come back again!"

Tommy pointed at the bloody hole on the back of Capas's head and asked, "You are still getting up at this level?" Although this was a question, the fact was that he had long believed the Grunt's statement.

"It's not dead! It's infected!" The Grunt squirmed uneasily, trying to stay away from Karpas' body. "You have to break its body into pieces, otherwise it will really get up again!"

As if to prove what the Grunt said, "Kapas"'s body twitched, and then made a few inaudible twisting sounds.A bunch of tentacles emerged from its waist and swayed. The entire spine began to tear the skin on its back and drilled out. Dots of green, foul-smelling blood dripped onto the floor.

"Sir, break it, please, break it!" The Grunts begged in panic. In this regard, they were not much different from humans.

Rebecca felt sick looking at "Kappas" and would have been frightened to death if Tommy hadn't been with him.She looked up at Tommy, "What should we do, boss?"

"Collect data to prepare for our future fight against the Flood." He felt that the word "use" was more appropriate.

He asked all the marines to leave the room, then came behind the door and watched through the glass above how "Kappas" stood up again little by little, and how he passed through his mouth with almost all his teeth. Eat the three Grunts bit by bit.

The split back of the head was slowly filled with swollen parasites, all of which was faithfully recorded by the video equipment in his helmet.

As he listened to the Grunts' screams grow smaller and smaller, he wondered if he could use the Flood to turn against the Covenant.The Flood's ability to infect is so strong that it cannot be brought back to Earth - but it can be left here as a seed.

He thought that if he could find the Covenant's hometown in the future, he could lead an elite force and throw the seeds of the Flood in, and the Covenant would immediately fall apart.Doing so would almost certainly lead to the destruction of the entire galaxy, but humanity is in a very bad situation right now - Reach has just fallen, Earth is threatened, and a universe without humans is meaningless.

It took a lot of time to use the Grunts to study the Flood. At a certain moment, there was a "rumbling" fragmentation grenade explosion outside the door on the first floor.

"Report, Marine!" Case said over the comm channel.

"Captain, it's the Master Chief! He's outside, he's coming down to find us!"

战斗部署时间：＋59时15分33秒（斯巴达-117的任务钟）鹈鹕运兵船E419，接近圣约人武器库途中。

The E419 engine roared as the Pelican troop carrier passed through the vast darkness and pouring rain and landed in the swamp.The surrounding plants were blown this way and that by the sudden whirlwind, and the metal belly of the ship lay flat on the water.

The stench of rotting vegetation filled the troopship's crew compartment.The gangway descended into the disgusting murky waters of the swamp.

The voice of "The Nemesis" came over the radio. "The last signal from the captain's landing craft was sent from this area. When you find them, call and I will come to pick you up."

The Chief jumped down the gangway and immediately found his lower legs submerged in murky, petroleum-like water. "Remember to bring me a towel."

"Enemy Bane" laughed happily, filled the engine with fuel, and flew out of the swamp in one go.It had only been three hours since she took the Master Chief off the top of the pyramid building, and he had only had time to eat a quick meal and sleep for two hours.

Now, Nemesis has dumped her passengers into the stinking cesspool.She was really lucky that she was a pilot. The combat conditions for ground troops were so damn dangerous.

The Master Chief checked his motion detector and saw no enemy.He looked up again and saw a building in the distance that appeared and disappeared in the mist of the swamp. It seemed that that was his target.

John passed a gentle slope and bypassed a large tree with tangled roots. Along the way, he discovered a crashed Pelican troop carrier and an undead transport ship.He judged from the corpses thrown out by these landing spacecraft that these spacecraft crashed during takeoff, not landing.This confused him greatly.

The Master Chief walked towards an area illuminated by many portable work lights and encountered some Jackals and Grunts running toward him in a panic.He brought them down with a flurry of fire, meeting little resistance.

This was so weird, weirder than any of the drills on Reach.Where have they gone?It makes absolutely no sense.Another mystery was added to his growing doubts.

After about a minute, the Master Chief took care of a few shivering Grunts and came to the target Forerunner building.Unlike other elegant spire buildings, this one looks vaguely like a crouching spider.

Could this be the place Tommy and Case were looking for?Something caught his eye—two 12-gauge shotgun shells tossed near the entrance, and a discarded protein bar wrapper.

He must be closer to them.

As soon as he entered the gate, he came face to face with the corpses of six Covenant people.They fell in a mess in a pool of dirty blood without encountering a serious enemy. This situation once again surprised the Master Chief.He knelt down at the edge of the pool of blood and carefully observed the corpses.

They were all shot in the head and killed with one blow, showing no signs of sloppiness.He couldn't think of any other human warrior besides Sparta who could possess such shooting skills, which was a strong proof that Tommy and the others had indeed been here.

The Chief gathered himself together and moved on.He took the elevator and headed to the lower part of the building, picking up many distracted Covenant people along the way. He passed through a series of rooms, all of which were empty except for the blood stains of the Covenant people on the ground.
