"Thankfully we were prepared, otherwise, the monster could pass through the ventilation duct and launch a surprise attack at any time."

"Oh, those bastards at the head office really deserve to be hung from the street lights."

Several engineers are installing protective screens on the vents.

It turned out that before the captain killed [Tinder], it secretly opened the vents in many areas.

In addition, the monitoring equipment in most cabins also activated self-destruction programs.

It can only be said that the company has gone to great lengths to protect the alien. First, it allowed it to come and go freely, and then it destroyed the surveillance and made the people in the cabin blind.

However, executives still underestimated the crew's will to survive and their hands-on ability.

After some troubles, all possible loopholes were patched by engineers, and a lot of the damaged monitoring lines were repaired. Although it cannot be compared with the initial state, it can at least ensure that there are no visual blind spots in the safe area.

As for the security team, they are divided into teams of two, guarding five important passages leading to the safety zone.

In fact, the protection measures go beyond that. Under Lu Li's strong request, sentry machine guns were installed in many blind spots that could not be taken into account.

This is a fully automatic pulse weapon that can search, identify targets and launch attacks on its own. Since it is equipped with an image sensor device, there is no need to worry about accidental damage——

Engineers have recorded the images of the entire crew in advance. The camera will automatically identify moving objects within the monitoring range. Once a strange creature is found, the indicator light will immediately turn red, and the machine gun will automatically lock on the target and fire.

From this, it can be seen that Lu Li worked extremely hard to protect this group of people.

"You seem to have a certain understanding of that monster, and you call it Alien. This name is very appropriate."

The corridor leading to the medical cabin is particularly deserted.

Dr. Amy followed closely behind Lu Li, grabbing the corner of his clothes with one hand for fear of being thrown away.

"What gave you this illusion?"

Lu Li naturally wouldn't admit it, because this thing couldn't be explained clearly at all.

"Others are extremely afraid of that monster, including me, but you insist on hunting it down. Seeing that everyone is unwilling, you even propose to act alone. There must be a reason for this."

It must be said that Amy's intuition was very accurate and her judgment was excellent. While Lu Li used the laser knife to cut open the locked hatch, he looked back at the female doctor.

Her face is sharp and angular, like a knife. Frankly speaking, the too rigid lines make her look unattractive, but they add an aura of perseverance and unyieldingness.

Hmm... his face is like his own, and he has a strong personality.

No wonder he behaved more calmly and calmly than his male colleagues when facing aliens.

"Don't be paranoid."

After leaving these words, Lu Li withdrew his gaze, pushed open the hatch and walked deeper.

A few steps further was the isolation room. Amy's expression became solemn, and she ignored Lu Li's secrets and followed him closely, constantly looking around.

Especially the overhead vents.

"What do you think the monster relies on to maintain its body functions? Does it eat meat?"

"..."

Lu Li was speechless for a while. This question was a bit stupid. Aliens naturally need to eat. In order to maintain a high degree of agility and strength, they consume energy all the time——

Drools often.

After strenuous activity, a mist like water vapor comes out of the mouth.

All the above are proof.

Therefore, their high energy consumption determines their extreme thirst for energy and they must hunt constantly.

"Aren't you really scared?"

Maybe it was because she was too nervous, but Amy was always looking for something to say.

"Fear doesn't work. I'd rather solve a problem than run away from it."

Lu Li sighed secretly, his tone impatient, but his calm attitude made the highly nervous doctor feel at ease.

"Next, good luck to you."

Amy went to the abandoned medical cabin this time to pick up some things: laser scalpel, general medicine, scanner...

Coincidentally, Lu Li planned to start hunting along the place where the little alien first disappeared, and simply acted as a temporary bodyguard.

While talking, the two turned into the medical hall in front of the isolation room.

Glass shards were all over the floor, highly corroded metal walls, medical equipment riddled with bullet holes...

It all shows that a great war has occurred here.

"Go and do your own thing. Just call me after collecting the equipment." Lu Li waved his hand.

That alien is best at camouflage and can fool all perceptions, but as long as it moves, the movement it makes will be captured.

Therefore, Lu Li was confident that he could save people before the crisis came.

"Yeah." Amy responded and walked cautiously towards the equipment storage box.

At the same time, Lu Li walked to the corner and squatted down. This was the place with the most serious corrosion in the entire area and the place where the white alien died.

"Careless."

Lu Li stretched out his hand towards the place covered with acid blood and broken flesh. When he and Roger left, the ground was not so messy.

At that time, Roger fired two more shots at the alien corpse to cover up the fatal injuries caused by bone spurs, but not enough to blow it into pieces.

Ignoring the highly corrosive nature of acid blood, Lu Li picked up a piece of bone-like material.

As expected, there were two clear bite marks on it.

Cannibalism!

After they withdrew from the medical cabin, the premature alien returned and used its dead companions as resources.

The head, exoskeleton, and flesh and blood were almost all devoured. It is really hard to imagine how far it has grown.

Not long after, Amy walked over quickly after completing the collection work. Her eyes focused on Lu Li's mucus-covered hands, "Uh... where is the alien that you killed?"

She pretended not to see it and deliberately changed the subject.

"Turned into nutrition."

As soon as these words came out, Amy held her breath even more, and she understood the deep meaning of this sentence.

"Let's go now, it's time for me to work."

After finishing speaking, Lu Li said no more, put down the metal storage box he had been carrying, and thought to himself:

The passage is too small, so there is no need to carry a third arm. The air pressure oscillator installed in the palm may be useful, and it is very lightweight.

Looking at the mysterious man in front of her, Amy breathed a sigh of relief and decided to state her position. She said in a deep voice: "The surveillance here has not been restored. Let me remind you one thing. You must be careful about Dr. Rhodes in the future. His father is from Roche Biological Group." director."

Before Lu Li could answer, she pressed the button device hanging on the wall beside her.

【1】

Represents the cockpit where the captain is located.

With a soft ring, as if the phone was connected, a voice came from the other end: "Amy, is the operation going well?"

"all the best."

"Captain, please send someone to pick me up. Mr. Lu is also preparing to start tracking."

"Okay, remember to remind him to pay attention to safety and please proceed with caution."
