"In fact, ever since I watched the movie Alien, I've always thought that this fictional creature is the most perfect creature for evolution. They will change their form and environmental adaptability according to the host's genes, and will constantly modify their genes to evolve. This is very similar to humans who have unlocked their genetic locks.”
Gene seal? Yang Tian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this strange term. He felt that it had something to do with him, but what was it? Yang Tian fell into deep thought.?At this moment, cries of alarm and distress suddenly came from the depths of the passageway. The voices became more and more miserable and painful. After more than ten seconds, these voices finally disappeared without a trace.
Zero stared at the corridor and said coldly,"It's those three hooligans…They were attacked.”
"Let's go and take a look. If we find the Aliens, we can eliminate them. The Aliens should be very weak right now, right?"”
"Yes, the aliens are still in their infancy. If we have enough guns to deal with them, they're really weak." Other than the two pistols, did you exchange for any other weapons?”
Zheng, Jie and the other two smiled bitterly."After all, we are different from you. I'm just an ordinary white-collar worker. Jie is a retired soldier, Lan is a writer, and Yang Tian is just an ordinary person. Do you expect us to know a lot of knowledge or how to fight?”
"Let's go. We'd better go there and take a look first. Besides, you're not entirely right. Didn't I mention the genetic constraint?" This is the most cutting-edge technology in the world. Our country happens to be at the forefront of the world. It can be said that even European countries like the United States might not know more than us.”Xuan didn't care about the other people's shocked expressions and began to explain the gene constraint.
"This space, I'm not referring to the movie Alien, but the entire movie reincarnation space. Actually, I've seen it before, but I didn't know its meaning at that time. In the ruins found in the cave man's skull, our country actually found a tablet with words engraved on it. "We translated most of the words, and the meaning can be summarized as 'When human evolution has completely stopped, terror will once again open the human genetic lock and push human evolution forward again.'The name of the person who left the message was 'The first batch of humans who unlocked their genetic locks'. Perhaps, this space had existed since ancient times.”
Yang Tian was quite interested in the gene lock Xuan mentioned. "Then what happens when the gene lock is unlocked?" Become Superman?"
Xuan smiled."You must have heard of this poem, Li Bai's 'I'm born for a purpose'. This is the definition of the genetic constraint. According to the genes, there are no weaklings in humans. Every human should have their own strongest ability, and this ability definitely has the highest talent. In fact, humans can indeed achieve this talent through training, such as sports, memory, and intelligence. You can become a super genius when you need to use your brain, you can become a strong man when you need to use your strength, you can become a super soldier when you need to fight…you can become a super soldier who will survive no matter what, even if everyone dies.”
" Able to solve difficult problems under any circumstances. Possesses the mentality of never giving up. Definitely won't die under any circumstances. This is the gene lock!"
The mentality of never giving up…the belief that he would never die…
Yang Tian was stunned. He recalled the scenes of his childhood. The peace when his father died, the peace when his grandfather died, the desperate cries of his aunt's family when they died, the twisted faces of the children when they were beaten up…]
"Maybe what you said makes sense, but please pay attention to our current situation. The smell of blood is thirty meters to the left. Who wants to go and take a look?" Zero suddenly whispered.”
"I'm the strongest. I'll go take a look."”After saying that, he slowly walked over. Jie held the Desert Eagle in his hand behind him. At the same time, he gave Xuan, Zero, and Kampa a grenade each, just in case.
Looking at Zheng Zha's trembling face, Yang Tian gradually returned to normal. He knew that if the chaotic situation continued, there would be no chance of survival. Just as he was about to sense his surroundings, he suddenly noticed a pair of bright eyes staring at him.?
Lan had seen Yang Tian as if he had lost his life. His eyes were lifeless, and his face showed pain and hatred. He was worried. She wanted to go forward but did not know what to do. Seeing that he had recovered, she heaved a sigh of relief and leaned forward.
"What happened just now?" Lan whispered. Yang Tian could hear the concern in her voice. His heart warmed and he was about to speak.
Zheng suddenly vomited violently.
Everyone was very surprised and rushed over. Yang Tian glanced at it and felt a chill in his heart!
On one side of the aisle was a pile of indescribable minced meat. It was impossible to tell that it was once a human. Bones, internal organs, minced meat, and many dirty things were piled up together. Other than some torn clothes and cloth scattered on the ground, no one could be sure that the minced meat here was once a human.
Kampa picked up a few strips of cloth from the ground and looked at Zero. He stuttered in Chinese,"It's the three hooligans. The meat of the two bodies is missing.”
Zheng and the others finally stopped vomiting, but when they heard the word "meat", they started vomiting again. This time, they even vomited their stomach water. Even Yang Tian felt his stomach churning. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.
"No, I don't think so." Xuan looked at the minced meat carefully."I've done a few dissection experiments. Most of these pieces of meat are bones that have been chewed up, and there are also dirty internal organs that are difficult to eat. And look here, this is a shoulder bone fragment. I've already found three different shoulder bone fragments, so I think the Alien took away as much meat as it could, leaving behind the remains of three corpses.”
This time, even Yang Tian started vomiting. Zheng and the others could not even spit out their stomachs. They could only lie against the wall and retch. Zheng's body was far stronger than everyone else's and he could still stand. The others had vomited until their limbs went soft. They could only stand by supporting themselves against the wall.
At that moment, Yang Tian suddenly felt a strong sense of danger. He quickly activated his Spiritual Perception and tried his best to scan his surroundings.?
Xuan and the other two finished their discussion and went back to the others. Xuan frowned at Lan and the other two, whose limbs were weak."Let's leave this place first. Things are much worse than we thought. There are already third-stage Aliens, and…they might be nearby.”
They are indeed nearby, and they have already circled behind us, preparing to launch a sneak attack. Yang Tian said in his mind as he threw Lan to the ground. Kampa and Zero also fell to the ground. There was fear in their eyes, especially Zero. He whispered," Something's wrong. There's danger…"
Just as they were lying down, Zheng felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw a huge black shadow suddenly appear in the corridor. The huge and terrifying appearance of the Alien appeared in front of everyone. It was a terrifying creature that only appeared in nightmares.
At this moment, the last person behind everyone was Shuai Xi, who was holding onto the wall. He had vomited so much that his limbs were weak. At this moment, he couldn't even exert a little strength. When he saw Zheng looking behind him with a terrified expression, the teenager could only turn his head back with difficulty. Then he was so scared that he couldn't move anymore.
This was a mature giant alien, about 2.4 meters tall, its body and tail were more than three meters long. It had a black and shiny shell, its huge and long head extended to its back, and its terrifying mouth was filled with sharp teeth. The most terrifying thing was that the tongue that came out of its mouth was full of sharp teeth. This was a monster that could scare ordinary people to death just by its appearance.
Shuaixi had just swallowed when the Alien's tongue pierced through his shoulder. The sharp tongue moved so fast that Zheng couldn't see it clearly. Shuaixi was dragged to the corner of the corridor.
"Ah! No! Big Brother Zhang, Big Brother Zheng, save me…I don't want to die!”
Shuai started to scream crazily, but his strength was nothing compared to the Alien. He was like a baby struggling, and everyone could only see his hand that was grabbing the corner of the corridor inch by inch move away. His fingernails were scratched over, and his survival instincts were fully displayed. Even though his fingernails were all scratched over, Shuai still held on to the corner, and his fingers were slowly being torn apart. In the end, he was still dragged into the corridor. There were only five bloody thumbprints left on the wall. Other than that, Shuai Li's miserable wails echoed throughout the entire corridor, accompanied by the sound of bones splitting.
Zheng, Zero, and Kampa were the first to recover. Zero and Kampa both did the same thing. They held the grenades in their hands at the same time while their other hand held the ring. They would throw out their only weapon once the Aliens appeared.
Only Zheng gritted his teeth and rushed over, wanting to save Shuai. However, after a loud roar, Zheng Zha immediately turned around and ran back. As he ran, he shouted,"Run! F * ck! There are three aliens!"
Before anyone could react, Yang Tian had already picked Lan up and ran into the corridor, leaving the others far behind.
Yang Tian's body was pretty good after the T-virus enhancement, and Lan was not the type to be overweight. After running for a long time with Lan in his arms, Yang Tian realized that he seemed to be lost! Seeing that there seemed to be quite a number of rooms on the side, he guessed that they had arrived at the residential area, so he randomly found a room and went in.
All the doors on the ship were equipped with automatic sensors. They would open automatically when a creature approached, so the two entered the room easily. Lan jumped out of Yang Tian's arms as soon as they entered the room. She pressed some buttons on the steel door and tried a few times. The steel door finally closed and a red light appeared on the door.
Lan exhaled and patted her chest."I was scared to death. I was so scared that my limbs went weak just now. It was disgusting and scary. This is much scarier than the Aliens in the movies.”
Yang Tian had been watching Lan's every move. This little woman's chest was firm and full. He had not noticed it when he was running away. Now, he recalled the scene when he was holding her and felt the soft touch on his chest. Especially when he saw her patting her chest now, her full chest was shaking. He quickly looked away.?
Lan seemed to have noticed something. Her face blushed unnaturally. She put down her hand and smiled."I told you that the automatic sensing function of this door could definitely be turned off. Otherwise, anyone could enter and leave your bedroom at will.”
"Yes." Yang Tian answered casually. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying," What do you think we should do next?" Should he find a way to contact them or go and complete the branch mission?”
"Side quest?" Lan's eyes went wide.”
Yang Tian shook his head." How is that possible? I've never seen this film. My understanding of it is limited to what you and Xuan described." However, from your description and analysis of the current situation, it's not difficult to deduce the possible existence of side branches.”
"Oh?" Lan was interested. She touched her forehead and said,"Tell us. If it makes sense, we can consider it."”
Yang Tian nodded and took out a pen and paper. He wrote as he said,""Currently, we only know two ways to complete the side quest: Saving people who were supposed to die and destroying things that were supposed to be fine.”He looked up at Lan. Seeing that she didn't object, he continued," I'm afraid it's impossible to save the people who are going to die. After all, they were all dead before we came. As for destroying things…this spaceship can be counted.”
Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him."The starship might be a side branch, but what if we blow it up?”
Yang Tian nodded." That's right. That's why neither of these methods are suitable for the current situation."?Then what if it's the other way around?" "Reverse?" Lan seemed to have thought of something.
"Yes, the other way around. Originally, there was only one Alien in the plot, so the female protagonist lived until the end, causing us to ignore her existence. But in reality? There was more than one alien on the ship now, and there was even a queen among them. Could she still survive as smoothly as before?”
Lan's eyes lit up."That's right. According to the current situation, the female lead is doomed. If we can protect her, then this might be a side quest!”
This spaceship wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It wasn't easy to find someone.
Yang Tian and Lan walked for more than ten minutes without finding the female lead. On the other hand, they were almost blocked by the Aliens twice. Fortunately, Yang Tian maintained his psychic connection and avoided the Alien monsters early on.
"Where is that woman hiding?”Lan was troubled. Yang Tian avoided the Aliens again." Are the Aliens on the entire ship looking for us?"”
"It's possible." Yang Tian's eyes remained closed.?This was the first time he had used his spiritual senses like this since he had been strengthened by the T-virus. He felt a little different from before.
Firstly, the range of his spiritual perception seemed to have expanded a lot. It was about 20 meters in radius now. Secondly, in terms of perception strength, other than the original pure physical structure, he seemed to be able to sense subtle spiritual fluctuations and detect the current mental state of the target. It was because of this that Yang Tian could accurately distinguish the difference between humans and aliens.?
Suddenly, a Mental Energy fluctuation that did not belong to an Alien appeared in his perception range. Yang Tian was excited for a moment. He had finally found it.?
He turned into a small corridor and pushed open the door of the innermost room. He finally found the female lead he had been searching for. It was a Caucasian woman who did not look very beautiful. At this moment, she was hiding under a table. She even blocked a few chairs and boxes in front of her as cover.
When she saw the two of them enter, she first exclaimed, then immediately became pleasantly surprised."Lan, Yang Tian, it's great to meet you! Where are the other mercenaries?"
Mercenaries? Yang Tian and Lan were speechless. The God seemed to like this identity…
"I don't know how they are doing. We were ambushed by the Aliens and got separated.”As he answered, Yang Tian walked over and moved the thing in front of the woman away.?As he approached the female lead, Yang Tian was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered. He asked Lan to pull her out and said,"You'd better come out quickly. This place isn't safe. The Aliens are moving around and might come here.”
With Lan's help, the female lead quickly came out from under the table. She asked in fear,"Do you know what's going on, Lan? What were those monsters?”
"Who knows?" After that, Yang Tian searched the small room but did not find anything new. Disappointed, he said to the female lead,""Now is not the time to study what those things are. Do you know how many escape capsules there are on the ship and where they are?”
"Use the escape capsule to escape?" The female lead immediately thought of escaping." Because it's a commercial ship, in order to increase the load space, several escape capsules were removed. Only a small escape capsule far away from the cargo hold was preserved, but there was only a set of escape devices in that one..."
"That's enough." Yang Tian interrupted the female lead and ordered,""Lan, you take her and let her show the way. I'll be in charge of safety. Is there any problem?"
"Yes." Lan nodded and pulled the female lead out. According to the female lead, their current position and the escape capsule were at the opposite ends of the ship, and the distance was not close. In addition to the interference of the Aliens along the way, they had to take a detour. Although the two of them were helpless, they could not give up halfway and abandon the female lead. For the sake of the side quest, they could only continue.
Halfway through the journey, they passed by a room with an open door. Suddenly, a beeping sound came from the room, giving the three of them a fright.
"It's the communication prompt from the communicator!" The female lead exclaimed.
Communication notification? " It should be Zheng and the others," Yang Tian thought as he tilted his head. He looked around and did not find any surveillance cameras. Then he thought about it. This was a spaceship from the Universe Era after all. The surveillance equipment should be very advanced. It was not strange that he could not find it. However, who was on the other end of the surveillance camera?
Sensing that an Alien was moving towards them, Yang Tian decisively pulled Lan and the female lead away. They came to a corridor far away from the Alien, found a room, and walked in. He asked the two panting women to find a chair to rest while he stood beside the communicator. The person just now should be in the monitoring room or something, so he could contact them here.
As expected, the communicator rang very quickly. Yang Tian picked up the call, and Xuan's calm voice came through.
"We are currently in the control room of the ship with room number 27. We will reach here if we follow the direction of room number 27.”
Looking at the agitated female lead, Yang Tian thought about it and said,""I just met the only surviving crew member on the ship, but…if I remember correctly, you said that you had performed an autopsy before, right?”
Xuan was silent for a while, then said,"That depends on what you want.”
"The person we found was parasitized by an alien. Help her take it out and make sure she doesn't die before we send her to the escape capsule. Can you do that?”Yang Tian did not care about anything else and said it directly.?
"If that's the case, there shouldn't be a problem." Hurry up and come over. Be careful of the aliens. I noticed that there seemed to be two of them following behind you.”Then, he hung up.
"Damn it!" Yang Tian cursed, pulled the two girls, and rushed out.?
Even though he did not sense anything out of the ordinary within his range of perception, Yang Tian was still anxious.?He didn't think Xuan would speak without thinking, and he wasn't completely confident about two aliens. After all, he had only practiced shooting for nine days.
"Not good!" Yang Tian pushed the two of them to the ground. At the same time, a scarlet tongue pierced through his shoulder.?Yang Tian endured the pain and looked up. The hideous shape of the Alien was clearly presented in front of him.?He raised his gun and was about to shoot when the alien suddenly retracted its tongue. It could not help but rush forward and shoot a big hole in the wall.
Yang Tian stared at the Xenomorph. Because it was too fast, once it moved, he could only see a black shadow in his Perception, so he had no chance to lock onto it.?
[Must hit the target-] Yang Tian shouted in his heart as he watched the Alien charge at him. He pulled the trigger.
The moment the gunshot rang out, Yang Tian felt as if the entire space had frozen. He could even clearly see the entire process of the bullet exiting the barrel, as well as the Xenomorph's every move. When he focused his attention on the alien, he could feel its movements freeze in an instant...
Lan was woken up by a loud noise. She looked up and saw something unbelievable. A small spiral hole appeared on the chest of the alien. The hole seemed to be still spinning, and its range gradually expanded. In the end, the entire alien began to twist and spin. Finally, with a bang, it turned into a bloody mist, not even leaving behind fragments.
Yang Tian came back to his senses and stared blankly at the blood mist in front of him. He could not believe that it was caused by himself. In the previous training, the gun had never unleashed such a powerful attack. Suddenly, he blacked out and almost fainted.?
[So this is the so-called attaching Mentality to bullets to attack…That's too much of a drain, isn't it?] Yang Tian thought with a bitter smile. At that moment, Lan's panicked voice was heard."Be careful-"
"Eh?" Yang Tian was about to turn around when Lan knocked him to the ground. His mental state was already very bad, and after this fall, he was even more dizzy. When he finally woke up, what he saw made him extremely angry.
