As Joe Shi stood up, the sand exploded in front of him, and several brown metal straws suddenly protruded out of the sand.
Joe didn’t have time to shoot, and his first reaction was to roll out, “Be careful!”
A metal pipe stabbed one of the soldiers at once.
The pipe penetrated his spacesuit and pierced into his body, lifting him.
Then a terrifying scene showed, and in just a few seconds, the soldier’s body became a corpse.
Everyone was stunned by the scene.
A flat monster emerged in the sand below the ground.
It had a brown shell with a metal texture. It had no mouth and limbs, only a large circle of metal straws around its body.
The creature seemed to have no eyes!
After absorbing the soldier’s body, the monster started to mutate with something rising in the middle of its flat body. In a few seconds, dozens of small monsters drilled out of its body.
These small monsters began to pounce at Joe and the others at an astonishing speed.
Even Joe, who experienced that, felt horrifying.
Joe yelled, “Shoot and kill these monsters!”
Then he shot at the little monsters.
What Joe used was the gaussian gun, which was more powerful than the gunpowder bullets. However, the electromagnetic bullets didn’t kill these little monsters but angered them who pounced on Joe and others.
“Shoot at the protruding part!” Joe shouted.
“Boom…”
The protruding part exploded, and a green liquid splashed on a soldier’s spacesuit, which was destroyed by the liquid.
When the soldier snapped out of it, the green liquid began to erode his body. Before he screamed out, his body turned into a pool of blood.
Everyone was scared, while small monsters were attracted by the pool of blood and rush towards it.
Joe shouted again, “Step back and shoot!”
Soldiers put away their fears and began to shoot at the protruding parts of the little monsters.
Bang!
Hundreds of little monsters were killed quickly.
At this moment, a metal straw burst out of the big monster’s body at a fast speed, and Joe immediately shot at it.
The monster made a muffled sound, and its protruding part exploded with the straws that about to pierce into Joe, and the others fell apart.
Joe took a deep breath and said, “Go back to the shuttle first. It’s safer.”
Joe stepped out of the tent first and heard the screams coming from other shelters.
Joe yelled at the wireless communication speaker, “Go back to the shuttle! All of you go back to the shuttle! Shot at the protruding area of the monster! Avoid the green liquid!”
As Joe ran to other tents, several monsters attacked Joe and the other soldiers.
They killed the monsters.
Ten minutes later, everyone finally rushed out of their tents, and Joe led them to run towards the shuttle.
Fortunately, their tents were not far from the shuttle, but dozens of soldiers were sucked into corpses.
After entering the shuttle, Joe counted the number of people and found that they lost eleven soldiers.
They could still hear the sound that monsters made who were trying to break into the shuttle in the shuttle.
One scientist asked, “General, what should we do? We have to stop workers from coming here!”
Another scientist added, “According to our plan, they are going to land on Mars tomorrow morning. There would be heavy casualties. We can’t contact them now. The only way is that we go back to the “Hope.”
Joe hesitated for seconds and ordered, “Ok, let’s go back to the “Hope.”
When Joe sat on the driving seat of the shuttle, he realized the anti-gravity system couldn’t be activated, and the shuttle couldn’t take off at all.
