Chapter 470: The Origin of the Alien
Because of the strange tail note of the demon fox, the medical room fell into a terrible silence again, Mo Li sat on the pillow and wagged his tail without saying a word, and Elizabeth also fell into her own memories.
"Captain Moli?" Through the monitoring equipment, Hanama Xian, who found that Elizabeth had woken up, stood at the door with Dandy Lane, and found that the woman with a resolute face looked at her and nodded politely, "Miss Elizabeth, how do you feel, does your chest still hurt?" ”
"Ah......" Elizabeth woke up from a dream and withdrew her stunning gaze, she never thought that a man could be so delicate, and the rare oriental blood and clothing also made him look more mysterious, in order to hide the embarrassment, she reached out and touched Moli's head, completely treating her as a pet, "How long have I been asleep?" ”
The answer to her was Dante Lane, who calculated everything precisely, "Three hours and twenty-one minutes, all vital indicators are normal, and it is expected that simple activities can be carried out within two hours after the nutrition is replenished." ”
"What time is it...... Did you find out that I was really three years later? "Having experienced a lot of things in just one day, Elizabeth was quite calm about everything she saw, and the first thing she wanted to know was her current situation.
"Theoretically, yes, but what we know about you is limited to residual images, and finding you underground is purely accidental." Hua Jian briefly checked Elizabeth's recovery, and had to admit that Moli's Demon Realm White Rose had a recovery effect against the sky, and all wounds caused by external factors could be recovered in an instant.
Elizabeth pressed her hand to her forehead to sort out her thoughts, and asked with some difficulty, "Now here...... Is there anyone else but you? ”
"The whole planet has become a human colony, but there is a conflict with other creatures on the planet, and we are currently on the weak side." Hanama said ambiguously.
"Other living beings...... ? Elizabeth covered her face with her hands and brushed her messy hair behind her ears, "Just came to this planet...... I found out that there are such monsters, and there are artificially bred bugs...... I knew there would be a day like this. ”
Elizabeth slowly recounted her experience. It is also finally to unravel the fog that hangs over this copy.
After the story of "Prometheus" ends, Elizabeth travels all the way with the artificial intelligence "David" who has only a head left, and the trajectory of the alien who created the virus, the race called "engineers". Later, in the initial aimless wandering, a merchant ship took them in, but David eventually ran out of energy, leaving only chips as a memento.
Elizabeth, who used to be a scientist, after experiencing the death of her husband and the shaking of her faith and re-identification, chose to use the pseudonym "Kate" to become a bodyguard of a merchant ship and underwent brutal training, and I don't know if she had been indirectly exposed to the virus Elizabeth found that her physique gradually changed-
Possessing greater resistance to blows, injuries sustained in training are recovered at an almost outrageous rate, not to mention the stamina, speed, and strength that women simply can't have......
All this was prevaricated by her belief that she had been trained. She knew that the real reason could never be said, absolutely not.
But Elizabeth miscalculated, and there were also scholars on the merchant ship who could be responsible for scientific research. Within a year, Elizabeth's unusual physical qualities caught their attention. A biologist named Euler quietly took a sample of her blood for analysis, and everything went in the direction that Elizabeth feared.
Euler deduced from the details of Elizabeth's usual words, deeds and words that the planet where she once stayed "buried her beloved and her faith" had hidden secret secrets and a super biochemical virus. Such a commercially valuable virus immediately attracted the attention of merchant ship owners.
So the merchant ship did three things, first. house arrest of Elizabeth; second, to the planet; Third, obtain a sample of the virus.
However, Elizabeth took advantage of her unusual physique, and with the help of the only friend she met on the merchant ship, John, the young man with Elizabeth in the video they saw, she escaped from the merchant ship in a rescue pod after brutal resistance.
The two of them used a rescue pod system that was able to maintain a deep dormancy for fifty years. After two years of wandering in space, he finally landed on a planet, which is the colonized planet where he is now.
They had just landed and experienced initial confusion, and soon discovered the hidden secrets of the planet - or under the induction of Elizabeth, who had already preliminarily fused with the virus. They discovered that two-way biochemical experiments were going on on this planet!
At the beginning, the virus obtained by the merchant ship invested a lot of money in research on this planet, and in the end, the research was divided into two factions, one was to follow the original evolutionary trajectory of the virus and pay a lot of life to intercept the alien embryo, creating a biological and chemical weapon "alien" to use in the war, and the other side found another way to study the impact of the virus on insects and proposed a very aggressive part. Cultivate a biochemical zerg with both food and combat directions.
The two sides are fighting for research funds and the right to use and research the virus, and when Elizabeth arrives, there is even a local war.
So. Whether it is an alien or a zerg, it is the result of human research, and it is the price paid for its own greed.
Later, it was basically what Mo Li had guessed, but to her surprise, Elizabeth had lived on this planet for three years, and she knew that she had heard about the alien riot and that humans could not suppress the species that had been created before she took action, but she and her companion John discovered a laboratory that was destroyed by alien research three years ago, that is, a hidden accident that happened when they first came to this planet.
At the end of that video, the Xenomorph Queen's xenomorph eggs were laid nearby, and the slight changes in the body temperature and composition of the air caused the eggs to re-hatch...... Both of them were parasitized. John finally left the chance to live to Elizabeth and sent her into the nutrition chamber to freeze Elizabeth and the aliens in her body, and he himself died with explosives and a large number of face-hugging insects and monsters in his body.
After saying that, even if it was three years ago, Elizabeth still has the image of John rushing into those monsters with explosives in front of her sleep......
"This is definitely a rhythm that has been taken off...... Humans are a species......" Mo Li said weakly, and for some reason she felt that this copy was full of taunts and malice from the gods, in all senses. In fact, in the fourth part of the original alien, humans almost got away with it because of the study of aliens, but on the contrary, the prequel has shifted from a one-sided alien species to another species that has nothing to do with this work, and it is also on par with the alien situation.
"Wait, why is this happening?" Interrupting Elizabeth's recollection, Hanama asked, "The original purpose of the merchant ship should have been to see your unusual physique and want to use the virus to strengthen the human body and make huge profits, why did it evolve into the research and evolution of two species in the later stage?" ”
Elizabeth had apparently thought about this question as well, and replied without thinking, "I have had this question too, when I had the courage to find Euler, who lives on this planet, with my superhuman physical fitness...... To be honest, I almost didn't recognize him at the time. ”
"He's getting weird, and it looks like there's something wrong here." Elizabeth pointed to her head and said cryptically, "How can I say it, even though he is greedy, he is a hypocritical 'gentleman' in my impression, and now, he is completely a fanatical madman, fanatically caught up in virus research to create a stronger fighting species." And what's even stranger is his level of knowledge..."
"He has some cutting-edge knowledge in other fields, and in just two years...... It's impossible, it's like his brain is being stuffed with the entire knowledge of another person. I even had a feeling that he was crazy because of that. ”
"Euler said a lot of inexplicable things to me, and instead of ordering the others to attack me, he talked to me about the structure of bugs and aliens, and expressed that he was not very happy with the evolution of both species. Damn, he even said he wanted to make a stronger and more perfect species, and he tried to get me to elaborate on a whole new species, but the madman couldn't make sense...... I had no idea what he was talking about, except that the species he wanted was neither bugs nor xenomorphs. ”
This passage is a bit informative, and Hanama silently wrote down all the key words, "Okay, I probably understand...... Now there's a problem not only for you, but for us - the address to your nourishment chamber is that the underground xenomorphs secrete fibers for immobilization of prey and nesting, and there are indications that the xenomorph queen has been there for some time, and will continue to stay there if it were not for human activity. ”
Elizabeth was stunned, she also found the crux of the problem - even if she was in the nutrition chamber, she was not absolutely safe, and the alien could catch herself even if she corroded the door by self-harm, but why did she seal herself there? And one is a whole three years without hurting yourself.
"Second, the first 'Resident Evil' was experienced three years ago, but three years later humanity did colonize the land more extensively - the form of the Xenomorph outbreak three years ago was contained and almost all the monsters were wiped out, and it is likely that only the Alien Empress and the rest of the Xenomorphs escaped and hid. So, how exactly did humanity eliminate the aliens three years ago, but now three years later, they are being wiped out defenselessly and have no experience of fighting back? ”
