[Ms. Kamio:? ? ? 】
[Miss Kamio: Why did you suddenly cut off contact? Did something happen? 】
[Ms. Kamio: Reply to the message! 】
[Ms. Kamio: You should be busy first. When you are free, please reply to me as soon as possible. 】
Medical area.
Lu Li picked up the watch that was still in the groove. After starting it, he saw the virtual light screen flashing continuously and the beeping sound was particularly harsh.
Looking at those unread messages, he felt a little embarrassed.
Due to an emergency, I went offline without explaining the whole story. How should I explain it now...
After thinking for a moment, he entered information on the screen:
"Sorry, there was some trouble on the ship. I just turned on the communication watch."
Due to the interstellar communication antenna installed on the top of the Huzhong research vessel, this information transmission has almost no delay.
In an instant, tens of billions of miles away, Miss Kamio, who was standing in front of her watch with a worried face, waiting for a reply, came to life.
Not far away, Miss Yamei, who was secretly observing the boss, breathed a sigh of relief and signaled the waiter to quickly bring her some food to replenish her strength.
[Ms. Kamio: I was scared to death. I thought you had an accident...]
Reply in seconds!
Nearly ten hours have passed since the last communication. Has she just woken up, or has she been waiting?
Lu Li didn't have the nerve to ask. After all, it was wrong to suddenly disappear in the middle of the conversation.
[Miss Kamio: What happened? Come on, I waited until now, otherwise I would have gone to bed early]
In the Atom Club, Kamiogawa Reiko covered her mouth and yawned. After receiving the hot milk from the waiter, she took a sip and silently waited for Lu Li's reply.
She was really sleepy. She didn't get a reply before, and her whole nerves were tense, but she didn't feel tired yet. Now her heart finally dropped, and sleepiness hit her instantly.
[Busy about saving the world, we’ll talk more about it later. 】
[Go and rest quickly, sweet dreams. 】
Somehow, after typing, Lu Li thought of a sentence: When I used to watch the moon with me, I called her Xiao Tiantian, but now the new person is better than the old person, and I call her Mrs. Niu.
Before the alien appeared, he was bored and chatting with his beautiful sister. When the situation became urgent, he forgot about her in an instant.
But now is really not the time to fall in love with a girl. In fact, most of the emotions that Lu Li had finally brewed up have now dissipated.
the other side.
Miss Kamio looked at Lu Li's reply with a smile on her face.
save the world?
She was the first to not believe it, but she was certain that Mr. Lu was busy with business. Her slender fingers tapped on the light screen:
"Be safe and wait for your return."
On the side, the female manager Yami felt that her boss was hopeless.
Since yesterday, he didn't even care about the club's business and just stayed by the communication watch. Now he only chatted for a few words and started to giggle.
This rate of IQ decline...is really a bit fast.
"Hmm, I'll tell you a few more stories then. Now take the time to rest. I really have to go to work."
After turning off his watch and completely cutting off contact, Lu Li sighed. He was originally full of murderous intent and prepared to kill the alien, but instead he ended up chatting with the girl.
Thinking of this, he suppressed his distracting thoughts and jumped up. His body was extremely flexible and he easily slipped into the vent more than four meters above the ground.
Fortunately, Duke has improved the mecha so that it does not take up much space. Otherwise, once an alien is encountered in such a long and narrow passage, it will be difficult to deploy it.
The most important thing is that the small aliens may have reached maturity after devouring their own kind.
Subconsciously, he speeded up his search, hunched over and galloping through the passage.
The traces left by acid blood corroding the metal wall are road signs. Maybe it has high intelligence and learning ability, but it is not human after all and cannot use tools to stop bleeding.
Just like that, Lu Li started hunting along the vents extending in all directions.
at the same time.
Dr. Amy, who got the scanner, began to examine the bodies of the crew members one by one. In the words of the captain: Everything that Tinder has been involved in must be done with caution and prepare for the worst.
Especially the air circulation system.
The black spores silently infected the two professors, turning them into mother bodies that gave birth to monsters. If they spread to other areas with air circulation, things would be in trouble.
Thankfully, during that time, the fire was not judgmental and was only thinking about the crew.
Outside the corridor, there were crew members waiting for quarantine, engineers who had just finished their work, logistics staff who were idle, and scientific researchers who were useless.
"Mr. Rhodes, No. 43, please go to the temporary quarantine office for inspection."
A beep sounds.
It is no longer the familiar mechanical female voice. With the sound of several gunshots, the Tinder has lost its intelligent assistance system.
In this case, the big Roger was pulled into a strong man, serving as both announcer and security guard.
After hearing the shouting, Dr. Luo stood up and quickly walked into the office used for temporary quarantine.
The heroic-looking female doctor Amy is debugging the equipment, while the captain Lin Xiuyi is registering quarantine information.
Not far away, Roger put down his communicator and stared at the visitor with his pulse rifle. The light automatic cannon hanging on his shoulder was particularly eye-catching.
"You're here." The captain greeted with a smile, looking particularly enthusiastic.
But only the parties themselves know the actual situation.
In terms of qualifications, it was not Amy's turn to be in charge of quarantine, and Rhodes was more qualified.
However, his father is a director of Roche Biological Group, and he had to suspend his duties to avoid suspicion.
"please....."
Amy didn't feel embarrassed. Several veteran experts had to undergo strict review before they could work because they had entered the scientific research area where the epidemic first broke out. Dr. Luo's identity was sensitive and he could only be responsible for the quarantine work.
"Thank you."
Rhodes didn't have any resistance at all, so he took off his shirt directly, and then took off his pants under the gaze of everyone.
"Mr. Lu, have you already gone searching for traces of monsters?"
Amy looked at her former boss lying on the bed, waiting for the scan, and said without hiding it, "That's right."
The reason for this is because she doesn't think that a person under surveillance has the opportunity to do something stupid.
"Actually, you don't need to guard against me."
Frankly speaking, this kind of scrutinizing look made Rhodes very uncomfortable. He looked at the scanner that started from the feet and slowly slid up, and said sincerely: "That monster doesn't care what my identity is. In its eyes There’s just food, so everyone’s in the same situation.”
After hearing these words, Dr. Amy was about to say a few words of comfort, but when the words reached her mouth, she suddenly froze.
She stared at the scanner and was speechless for a long time.
The captain and Roger were talking quietly and did not notice the scene.
As for Dr. Luo, who was lying on the hospital bed, he had a strong feeling that something was wrong with him.
His face turned slightly pale and he asked in a weak voice:
"Why are not you talking?"
On the color monitor, there is an image of a human body composed of green, but if you look carefully, you can see a red dot.
Although it was only as big as half a fingernail, it was tantamount to bad news in Amy's eyes.
"Mr. Captain..."
She called softly.
The two men looked over at the same time, especially Roger, who was in charge of security. He held a gun in both hands. The muzzle of the gun didn't seem to be pointed at Rhodes, but his eyes were fixed on him.
"impossible."
"Absolutely impossible!"
"I have never been in contact with pathogens, how could I be infected!"
Dr. Luo became emotional and began to cough violently. He had never seen such indifferent eyes before, and it was the first time that he felt that Amy, whom he had some admiration for before, had become so ugly that she had framed him.
"calm down."
Roger stretched out his thick arm and pressed it back with one hand. While tying the metal restraint, he comforted him, "There must be something wrong with the instrument. Let's try it again later."
Before he finished speaking, the captain pressed the button communication device in the room. There were more than seventy buttons on it. He could use this device to contact the crew in each area, including non-safe areas.
The first is the ten security personnel stationed at the five important passages. "I am Lin Xiuyi. Please come to the temporary quarantine area as soon as possible."
"Captain? What about security work..."
"Install a sentry machine gun." Roger was experienced and immediately shouted to the communicator: "Inform those in charge of the control room to put them in a conspicuous spot."
"receive."
"receive."
Hearing this, the five teams no longer hesitated and began to install the sentry machine guns brought out from the weapons depot.
At this time, Dr. Luo, who was wrapped into a rice dumpling by a metal restraint, was extremely desperate, with hysteria in his eyes, and roared: "It must have been a misdiagnosis. Mr. Lu went into a virus outbreak area with us, why is he not infected?"
"Too many people must have been tested, the scanner is malfunctioning!"
The captain looked sternly and ignored the almost crazy subordinates. He ordered: "Follow the procedure, first send the person to the isolation room inside, and then notify the other two doctors who have been to the virus outbreak area for examination."
"knew."
There were wheels under the hospital bed and it could move freely. Without saying a word, Amy pushed the unable to move Dr. Luo and rushed inside.
Not long after, Roger invited two old doctors in.
Before they could figure out why their test numbers were advanced, they were tied up with restraints.
Not surprisingly, the chest scan showed red.
Perhaps because of their older age and reduced immunity, the two of them were in worse condition, and the red area was more obvious than that of Dr. Luo.
"Really... genetic invasion?"
Lin Xiuyi felt his throat was a little dry. The two infected people had appeared earlier, which had kept them busy and made everyone on the ship nervous.
Now three of them appear all at once, how to deal with them.
Dr. Amy said with an extremely certain tone: "Yes, there is no malfunction in the instrument, everything is normal."
Just now, she and Roger had the scanner check again, and the screen was full of green.
"Then Mr. Lu..." The captain hesitated.
"You think too much."
While his little brother was away, Roger took the initiative to stand up and speak up for him: "He just had a scan before departure and there was nothing wrong with him."
"Yes, Mr. Lu broke the genetic lock, and his life level is different from the three people in the isolation room."
Dr. Amy also spoke for him.
The captain nodded and said solemnly: "No matter what, let's call him back first. There are three monsters inside that need to be dealt with."
Because he didn't know where Lu Li was currently, Lin Xiuyi connected all areas.
"I am Lin Xiuyi. Mr. Lu, please reach the nearest contact point as soon as possible. If there is something very urgent, please reply as soon as possible!"
"I am Lin Xiuyi. Mr. Lu, please reach the nearest contact point as soon as possible. If there is something very urgent, please reply as soon as possible!"
He kept repeating this sentence.
Until a voice came in, "What's going on? I'm searching near the power cabin."
Lu Li followed the traces out of the medical area. There was a communication point directly below. Therefore, after hearing the call, he immediately climbed out of the ventilation duct and contacted the captain.
"Dr. Luo and two other experts who have entered the scientific research area are all infected with the mysterious virus."
"Yes, I understand." Lu Li's voice was low and without any fluctuation, "I'll be back soon."
The situation is getting worse and worse, and is gradually getting out of control.
But so what?
He has even experienced certain death situations before, not to mention that now, he has confidence in his own strength.
"Mr. Lu, are you feeling unwell?"
Just in case, the captain couldn't help but ask.
"No, I will take the initiative to cooperate with Dr. Amy and do another test when I come back later."
The tone is plain and concise.
In fact, Lu Li knew how special he was, and nothing would happen to him with that level of contact, and he didn't even need to activate his skills to be immune to negative status.
"He'll be here soon."
Lin Xiuyi turned off the communicator on the wall, bowed to the people in front of him, and said sincerely: "I'll leave this time to Captain Roger and everyone."
All ten security personnel were present.
After hearing the whole story, he immediately pointed his mouth at the door of the isolation room——
An all-metal cubicle was originally used to store firefighting equipment, but it was temporarily transformed not long ago.
Through the monitor, they clearly saw the entire process of the alien's birth.
First came the two old experts, and not long after, Dr. Rhodes also started wailing.
The intense pain made them look ferocious, and the metal bands tightly wrapped around their bodies continued to surge, and something was trying to break through the blockade and crawl out!
"Help me...save me..."
There was no sound, but the mouth shapes of the three people were consistent. As a colleague, Amy closed her eyes in pain. She had no solution and could only watch through a metal door.
As time passed by, the three tumors that sometimes shrank and sometimes bulged exploded.
Everyone witnessed a horrific scene!
The metal band disappeared quickly like ice and snow, and a large hole appeared in Dr. Luo's abdomen.
A creature with a head similar to a snake slowly crawled out from the blur of flesh and blood.
Its body shape is abnormally bloated, and its front end is divided into a pair of short forelimbs.
Chestbreaker!
The birth of human babies is accompanied by flowers, applause and laughter, and their birth is accompanied by flesh, screams and panic.
The host exchanged its own death for the birth of a new life.
After it came out, it turned around and glanced at the mother who gave birth to it, then lowered its head and began to devour it.
