Sentry machine gun.
No blind spots surveillance cameras.
After gathering the remaining crew members on the spacecraft into the cockpit, Lu Li opened the hatch and set off alone.
No matter what, let's control the alien lurking inside first.
As for whether he would backtrack on the Tiger Leaving the Mountain plan, Lu Li wasn't too worried. After all, the big Roger had already broken free of the first-level gene lock. With the help of four brave and death-defying Cyborg warriors, he was able to persist for two minutes no matter what he encountered. .
And two minutes is enough to support him to return to defense.
"Is it really okay for Mr. Lu to act alone?" Miss Colleen looked at the closed hatch and said with worry on her face.
"Do not worry."
"In fact, if other people accompany me, not only will they not be able to help, but they will become a burden."
Because Roger had seen Lu Li's full-strength attack, he became the one with the best attitude among everyone. He laughed at himself: "If I hadn't been a drag on him, there wouldn't be so many things happening now."
Hearing this, Miss Colleen wanted to ask about the details at that time, but because of the atmosphere in front of her, she stopped abruptly.
The captain withdrew his searching eyes. At this moment, he was looking for the mole.
According to Lu Li's inference, the other party should have stayed in the temporary quarantine area. Even worse, he knew a lot of details from other people's descriptions.
In addition, the mole must have participated in the secret meeting, otherwise Luo Che Biology would not have known about the existence of Professor Taylor.
Andy and David are unlikely.
The two guys never left the cockpit except for a meal in the restaurant, and the heavy driving work made it difficult for them to distract themselves from other things.
Dr. Amy?
When the alien crisis broke out, she was on the scene, was very familiar with the situation, and was not injured at all... This is not the point, the point is that this female doctor disappeared for a while.
She said she was going to sort out medical resources, but who can testify that she didn't take the opportunity to do other things?
Miss Colleen, Dr. Amy...
Or, possible surveillance equipment.
The latter can be eliminated through technical means.
After falling into deep thought, Lin Xiuyi, who saw that everyone suspected the other, did not notice that he became a little confused.
At the same time, Lu Li, who had walked out of the safe area, came to the vent again.
In order to increase his own strength and solve the hidden danger as soon as possible, he carefully put on the simple version of the mecha before jumping into the pipeline.
The corrosion traces left by the acid blood, the scratches caused by the friction between the tail blade and the metal wall...
Compared to the first time we entered, the inside became messier, and it became impractical to continue tracing along the corroded holes.
After all, the alien's injury has completely healed.
【Ding】
After walking a few steps, a sudden sound in the darkness made Lu Li alert. He stared ahead and turned on his communication watch——
The beep came from here.
Someone was probably contacting me urgently.
It couldn't be Professor Taylor, nor could it be Miss Kamio. She knew what was appropriate and had been waiting silently for a reply.
[Tinder: Mr. Lu, don’t forget the agreement we made before, the company wants living aliens]
From departure to now, it only took five minutes in total, and the other party got the news. This mole must be too bold.
After I go back, I only need to do a little investigation to find out who it is.
[Lu Li: I understand, but I would like to ask, Mr. Luo, are you so blatant, aren't you afraid that the spy will reveal his identity? 】
[Tinder: As I said before, we don’t have spies, we just place some secret monitors in certain areas. 】
Believe it or not...
[Lu Li: Have you boarded the ship? 】
[Tinder: We are on the way. In fifty hours at the latest, we will be able to have a frank negotiation face to face]
On a powerful light transport ship, Luo Yue looked at her communication watch, patiently waiting for a reply...
It's a pity that Lu Li showed him what it means to have low-quality netizens, who went offline silently, leaving this guy waiting lonely.
"Nest material..."
As we continue to go deeper, the surrounding ventilation ducts gradually lose their original appearance.
From time to time, piles of spider silk-like material appeared under his feet. Lu Li, who had done a lot of preparations, knew that this stuff was the secretion from the alien's mouth.
To be precise, it should be an alien that has completed its transformation.
"It shouldn't be too far."
He knelt down and pinched the spider silk material with his hands. It was moist and slightly elastic.
This kind of special-shaped oral secretions will harden due to dryness when in contact with air for more than six hours, becoming a highly elastic material that can even change the atmospheric environment.
With this thought in mind, he put aside his distracting thoughts and carefully guarded his surroundings to avoid capsizing in the gutter.
Medical area——
Power cabin corridor——
elevator--
In fact, Lu Li, who emerged from the ventilation duct, did not go deep into the power cabin. He only walked around a few times and checked it carefully.
Because the aliens can't get in at all. Even Roger, who claims to pile explosives here, the limit he can do is to fill the outside of the blocking door with high-explosive bombs.
After all, it is an important area related to the safety of the entire ship. As long as a little spark enters and breaks the internal balance, with the spacecraft as the center, the surrounding ten miles will become a dead zone, and the area of nearly a hundred miles will be affected.
Ding dong!
The green light comes on.
The elevator took Lu Li to the cargo hold.
Previously, he and Roger came to the nearby weapons depot to pick up supplies, but now, the surrounding scene had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The ground was almost covered with abnormal oral secretions, and the walls and the top of the head were corroded with large holes one after another.
Especially the vehicle placement area.
The two five-meter-high medium-sized exploration vehicles were chewed to pieces. There were not only bite marks on them, but also a yellow-green gelatinous substance.
Royal gel?
Lu Li did not touch it rashly.
If it were really a royal gel, then things would be troublesome. It could only be produced by the Alien Queen, and its effect was very abnormal, and it could mutate other species.
For aliens, this gel is almost like a supplement, and can make ordinary aliens become queens.
so……
The gray alien transformed into a queen?
Not surprising.
Isn't it normal for a cosmic nightmare that can evolve infinitely to perform some biological miracles?
"Mr. Lu, the sentry machine gun installed in Channel 9 opened fire. Are you nearby?"
Captain Lin Xiuyi's slightly anxious voice sounded.
That's a communicator. There's this kind of equipment in every room and every cabin on the spacecraft.
Number nine?
The passage leading from the lounge area to the separate dining room was abandoned long ago.
So, where is the number one who became the queen?
Not too possible.
It should be busy laying eggs.
With his thoughts racing, Lu Li came to a nearby communication point and pressed the number one button.
"I'm Lu Li."
The calm voice sounded in the cockpit, which was extremely reassuring.
"See what that thing looks like?"
"Surveillance showed that it was a spider-like creature with eight claws and was extremely fast. The sentry machine gun in that passage used nearly half of its bullets to kill them."
"How many exactly?"
"Four, the corpses oozed extremely corrosive acid blood." At this point, the captain couldn't help but panic. He thought of the fear of being dominated by the drone alien not long ago.
Lu Li knew what the other end of the communicator was worried about, so he comforted him: "This kind of creature is not an alien, and it will not turn into a giant monster in a short time."
It is just a syringe responsible for finding a host for the alien embryo. As long as it is not hugged close to the face, there will be no danger.
In addition, Roger is sitting there, and there are a large number of sentry machine guns that can automatically detect the enemy and fire, so there should be no need to defend himself.
At this time, Amy took over the communicator from the captain. Apparently, after several contacts, she regarded Lu Li as an omniscient and omnipotent person:
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"Be careful of being hugged in the face. You can think of it as a kind of syringe with an alien embryo in its abdomen. When it gets close to a host that can be parasitized, it will immediately bounce up and wrap its eight legs around the opponent's face..."
Bang bang bang!
Faintly, Lu Li heard the sound of gunfire, which seemed to be the sentry machine gun in Channel 4.
Dr. Amy's voice became more urgent, "How to deal with being hugged on the face."
"If it's someone else, don't hesitate. Kill him and the insects immediately, and then burn the body with flames."
"If this is you, you can try to shut up, hold your breath, and wait quietly... for rescue."
Lu Li wanted to say wait for death, but it was too unlucky to say that, so he changed to a more euphemistic way of saying: "After the facehugger jumps on the host's face, it will first use its eight legs to fix the body, and then wrap it around with its long tail. Hold the other person's neck and force him to open his mouth to breathe.
However, once the host opens its mouth, the creature will extend its long, tubular secondary mouthparts from its abdomen and inject the larval embryo.
Therefore, after being facehugged, you must not open your mouth. Immediately use a welding gun to fight back, cut open the facehugger's back, and do not move other parts, such as the legs, to prevent acid blood from splattering on the face. "
Although there is no factual basis, this is a theoretically feasible method anyway.
"Got it, leave it to me." Big Roger responded, "You continue to search for that monster, don't worry about this."
Communication is interrupted.
Judging from the sound of the gunfire, the facehugger army should have reached the third cabin, which is the passage between the abandoned medical area and the scientific research area.
There are only two hatches separated from the cockpit.
After making a silent judgment, Lu Li quickly walked towards the darker front——
Because this area is an abandoned area, many circuit systems were damaged but were not repaired. Some searchlights flickered on and off, but more areas simply stopped lighting up.
Not long after, there was a strange noise in the darkness, slight but continuous.
Seeing this, Lu Li removed one of his power arms so that he could use the bone spurs extending from his hands to launch an attack.
There are two sources of abnormal noise.
One is an exhaust fan that is corroded and still working hard.
The other comes from behind the arachnoid membrane.
After quickly approaching, Lu Li used his bone spurs to pry open the translucent membrane in front of him and lifted it open——
Abnormal oral discharge.
It is not hard, and is softer than what I encountered in the channel before. When I twist it with my hands, I can feel a slight burning sensation.
Very fresh.
The queen's nest is not far from here.
The space behind the secretions also confirmed this conjecture. Lu Li saw a large amount of secretions.
Transparent spider web material, yellow-green queen gel, these things are everywhere, covering the floor, walls, and overhead in thick layers.
At first glance, Lu Li thought he had arrived in the intestines of some giant creature.
But before he had time to think about it, he suddenly jumped up and stabbed his bone spurs into the metal ceiling to stabilize his figure.
Below, there was a loud bang, and the entire area where he had originally stepped collapsed, covering an area of seven or eight square meters.
No doubt, this is a trap.
Alien No. 1, who became the queen, deliberately corroded the lower part and filled it with slightly less acidic oral secretions. As long as anyone passes by here, they will fall down.
Fortunately, there was no mechanism set up below, otherwise, Lu Li would have thought that the person on the other end had become a spirit, and his IQ was not weaker than that of others——
The alien is an almost perfect creature, but it does have some flaws.
The price of supreme physical function is a lack of IQ. In movies and TV series, ordinary humans can use this to narrowly win when fighting aliens.
And this Alien No. 1 that evolved into the Queen showed many extraordinary features:
Extraordinary disguise, agility, and not weak intelligence.
"A genetically enhanced professor can actually give birth to an alien queen with a very high IQ. What would happen if it were a human who breaks free from the genetic lock?"
As he murmured to himself, Lu Li retracted his bone claws, returned to the ground, and continued walking deeper into the lair. As he went deeper, the feeling coming from his feet became clearer and clearer——
It was soft, as if it was walking on the intestinal wall of some kind of creature.
Until dozens of oval-shaped objects appeared in front of them, and they were slowly crawling in the darkness.
This is the beginning of the xenolarvae.
Lu Li had studied them in depth in anatomy classes, but they were still dead objects.
Assistant Professor Bai once said: The alien egg that remains active is a flower of death, made of flesh and blood.
My vision penetrated the darkness and saw a large number of details that were not seen in the dissecting room.
Perhaps sensing changes in heat around them, air flow, or bioelectricity, the flowers began to bloom slowly.
They are no longer dark green, and through a crack, the pink muscle cortex inside is revealed, and tissue similar to vein-like blood vessels can be vaguely seen.
"Really worth collecting."
The words fell and the flaps opened.
Dozens of arthropods that looked like both eight-clawed octopuses and spiders broke out of their shells. With a slight kick of their eight slender and powerful legs, they rushed toward Lu Li at an alarming speed like a rattlesnake pouncing on its prey.
A strong wind blew in my face.
Within a short distance, a cold light flashed, so fast that it was difficult to see it with the naked eye.
Chunks of yellow acid blood spilled out.
On the other side of the spacecraft, the battle is also about to break out.
Acid blood oozed from the ventilation ducts, and a large number of facehuggers died under the sentry machine guns, but these secretions still corroded the lighting equipment.
Cabin No. 1, which is only separated from the cockpit by a door, has become particularly eerie.
swish swish...
The sound of movement became clearer and clearer, and everyone who was already tense felt a shadow cast over their hearts.
The four cybernetic security guards were armed with heavy weapons and aimed overhead to prevent monsters from falling from the sky.
The big guy was blocking the cabin door alone, with a light automatic cannon ready to go on his shoulder.
