I Became an Evolving Space Monster

Chapter 376



“What is the estimated time of arrival?”
“Expected to be a 20-minute walk.”
“Make sure all life support functions are working properly. “Don’t forget to check the spare oxygen capsules and medical kit.”
“yep!”

Inside a transport ship that landed dozens of kilometers away from its destination.

The 21 pirates checked their equipment one last time before departing.

“The wild animals that live here have fucking thick skin. So penetrating bullets and armor-piercing bullets are the basics. “Replace them all.”
“All right!”

The members of the Hamilton Cartel are all former Megacorp soldiers. Even before becoming a pirate, he participated in several battles. Is that why? The sight of them checking their reinforced clothing and Gauss rifles looked very familiar.

“Power, power suit activated. depart.”

At the command of their leader, Strong Hamilton, 20 pirates activated the bio-helmets they wore on their heads.

This place is like a hellish planet, boiling with high heat. That’s why everyone prepared special reinforced suits mainly used for battles in outer space.

The reinforced clothing worn by pirates is a new product released by the Garmelda family.

Unlike regular mid-level reinforced suits, it completely protects the entire body like a space suit. Not only defense but also strength support functions have been greatly enhanced, allowing operations to be performed even in harsh environments.

The door of the transport opened, and Se-chan got out ahead of him. Pirates wearing thick reinforced clothing followed suit.

“It’s really shitty weather. “Captain.”
“It’s like this no matter where you go on a volcanic planet. “If the helmet comes off, it will fall off, so everyone be careful.”

Contrary to what he told his subordinates, Se-chan did not wear a helmet. Although he was wearing specially designed goggles, most of his face was exposed.

The air outside the transport ship was hot enough to burn the skin of an ordinary human in an instant.

However, it is thanks to his skin that he was able to appear with a bare face. His face, not protected by the goggles, was covered with leather that was as rough and hard as a rock.

Se-chan underwent a gene transfer procedure that only high-ranking members of Megacorp could receive. The scorching heat and toxic air pose no threat to him.

In fact, he casually checked the communication status.

“Vice Captain, can you hear clearly from above?”
「Communication status is smooth. “No problem.”
“Okay. Then move.”
“yes!”

21 people armed with high-tech mechanical equipment started running.

Strangers race through a desolate land covered in fire and ash. The footprints left on the black ground quickly disappeared due to the volcanic ash blowing away with the hot wind.

Since they were running wearing reinforced suits, their speed was surprisingly fast. Every time I took a step, the massive body jumped several meters into the air.

Even while running, my eyes were constantly moving. The purpose was to check whether there were any dangerous elements nearby. Various information related to the surrounding environment was continuously displayed on the visor attached to the helmet to support the user.

「Confirm movement 150m away at 2 o’clock!」
「Confirmed by gas erupting from underground! The movement of living things is not detected.”
“Hey you idiot, are you out of your mind?”
“I’m sorry!”

Ten minutes had passed since departure, but no dangerous elements were found.

Everyone was relieved that they didn’t encounter any enemies, but it wasn’t too cold.

‘…Something is strange.’

Planets with extreme natural environments, such as volcanic planets, ice-type planets, and ocean-type planets, have something in common.

It is a threat not only to the environment but also to native creatures.

As befits monsters adapted to a harsh environment, their physical specifications are enormous and their belligerence is extremely high. So, Se-chan predicted that he would encounter wild animals at least once while traveling to where customer S was.

‘But I didn’t see any living things for 10 minutes.’

To be precise, no ‘living things’ were found during the move.

There was no such thing as seeing an animal moving in the distance or capturing a monster in the sky. There were no traces of predators or traces of animals wandering around.

It seemed as if no living thing lived in this area.

“Vice-captain, it’s Se-chan. What happened to vital response detection?”
“There are still signs of life everywhere. “I can’t understand it properly because of radio interference.”
“What about customer S?”
“I understand they will be visiting in two hours from there. “There has been no response since the communication ended.”
“I understand. Keep trying to detect vital signs. “If you get the right results, contact us right away.”

Anxiety crept up like black smoke, but I had no intention of canceling the operation.

‘Maybe I was lucky and didn’t encounter any monsters.’

You may not have encountered predators by chance. Or maybe this area itself was originally uninhabited by life.

‘Let’s get this sorted out as quickly as possible and leave here.’

In this way, he forced himself to calm down the anxiety in his heart.

Ten more minutes after terminating communication with the second captain, they arrived at their destination.

The pirates hid behind a tall rock hill and watched the movement.

Three cult-style ships were parked haphazardly on the black ground. I already checked it above, but when I saw it in person, it was clear that it had landed in a hurry.

In front of the ships was a simple structure that appeared to be a temporary camp. The structure was in an unfinished state, so it was quite unsightly.

“As I already said, there are six people on each boat. “The remaining three search inside the temporary camp.”
“Yes.”
“We will move as quickly and quietly as possible to prevent them from reacting. Do you understand?”
「Yes!」
“Then let’s begin.”

After Sechan’s words, the pirates jumped out from the rocky hill. In an instant, they entered the ships and structures they were searching for.

If there was anyone among them who was even slightly behind, they would have seen that scene.

The rocky hill that had been standing still crawled under the ground.

「What the fuck?」
「…What on earth are these bastards doing here?」

The pirates in charge of searching the simple structure were embarrassed.

The inside of the structure was a mess beyond imagination.

It’s not because of the wires, cables, and large pieces of metal littering the floor.

What caught them off guard was the ceiling. Animal skins were hanging from the ceiling.

“Let’s take a look and see what kind of psychopath created something like this.”

The pirates activated the infrared vision on their helmet visors. After confirming that I could clearly see the inside of the dark facility, I walked inside.

“Nimi, one of the floors is so dirty.”
“It must be because of the blood that fell from above.”

The floor of the facility was filled with sticky liquid, probably because the blood that had fallen from the hanging flesh had hardened. The pirates cursed at the discomfort they felt every time they walked.

“There may be information left on the computer. “I’ll check it out.”

One of the pirates entered the facility to inspect a computer. The remaining two looked at the pieces of meat hanging from the ceiling.

「Did you bring it while cleaning up the surroundings?」
「For some reason, no one could be seen on the way, so it was all taken down.」
「This looks like Lavalaptor leather. It was peeled off very cleanly.”
“Captain, I heard that customer S once requested transport of a rare creature.”
“Really?”

The being who created this facility seemed to have decent workmanship, despite having a bizarre sensibility. This is because there were almost no scratches on the peeled leather.

While I was looking around, something unusual caught my eye.

“Hey, look at this. Doesn’t this corpse look like a person?”
“Look at it.”
“For a moment, I thought it was real and was shocked.”
“That’s right. This part is the arm, and this part is the chest…”

The two people who were looking at the mysterious leather gradually became less talkative.

「Hey, is this really possible?」
「Fucking crazy….」

Although there was no head part, they quickly recognized who the skin belonged to.

And now I see that there are more than one leather similar to that.

“The blood hasn’t hardened yet. It hasn’t been long since I took it off.”
“What on earth are these bastards doing?”
“It’s dangerous out here, so let’s get out.”

But contrary to what they said, the two could not leave right away.

A colleague went inside to check the computer. Even when I tried to contact him through the communicator, there was no answer.

“what. “Where did this guy go?”
“Hey?” Answer me.”

All I could hear on the other end of the communicator was silence.

They ran to the spot where their colleague was before he disappeared. Only the computer pad used by a colleague remained in its place.

The size of this facility is not very large. If one of the three disappears, there is no way for the remaining two to know.

There is someone else in here besides them.

Recognizing that fact, the two tightened their grip on the Gauss rifle and guarded their surroundings.

“Captain, the situation here is very shitty. We have to retreat quickly…Captain?」
「Chijijijijijik」
「Damn it! Hey, try contacting the ship.”
“Wrong. “This one is working too.”

Since they were both soldiers, they knew very well how bad the situation was. They turned their backs to each other and slowly moved towards the entrance.

While passing by the corpse skins hanging from the ceiling, something foreign caught the pirate’s eyes.

A human female head lay in a pile of metal fragments. You might wonder if there were a lot of human heads in this place full of corpses, but all the skins here were headless.

Therefore, the head lying alone could not help but be more noticeable. This is especially true if it is the head of a beautiful woman who is presumed to have been quite beautiful when she was alive.

‘Fuck, what kind of crazy bastard would do something like this…’

The woman’s head even had its eyes wide open. It was very eerie because it looked as if it was alive.

At that time, I thought pirates were a bad thing.

The woman’s eyes moved.

“uh?”

Eyes that move slowly as if a camera is turning. When the pirate saw that, he felt the back of his neck becoming wet.

Then the pile of metal began to move. The pirate’s head gradually moved upward as it met the woman’s eyes.

I thought I had placed the severed head on a metal pile, but I was mistaken.

‘It’ was a giant spider with the head of a human woman.

“Where are you going?”

‘It’, which felt no emotions, grotesquely bent its neck and looked down at the pirates.

The moment they saw their comrade in the guy’s hands, they vaguely understood.

Why is there only leather hanging from the ceiling?

However, the pirates, overwhelmed by the sight beyond common sense, were unable to move.

“I needed more muscles and bones to tone my body, and you came to the right place.”

A moment later, a scream came from outside the mysterious structure.

The victims’ deaths were soon buried in the fierce heat.
