Chapter 31: Aliens

The internal structure of the pyramid is actually very ordinary, if it weren't for the staircase that goes down, everyone would still think that they have come to a fake pyramid, but in fact, no one doubts what Stanley said before, after all, he suddenly came to a dark place from the outside, and found that it was the inside of the pyramid after illuminating it with a flashlight, so much evidence shows that Stanley did not lie.

Moreover, there was no need for Stanley to lie!

Everyone put on night vision goggles and walked into the secret passage that went down, and the width of the secret passage was enough for three people to walk side by side. They didn't encounter any crises along the way, but because of Stanley's reminder, everyone was very cautious.

After walking for about ten minutes, everyone came to a huge underground space, and the first strange thing appeared in front of them, a creature that had been dead for an unknown number of years, and the creature had its belly stretched open from the inside, as if something had escaped from it.

"Is that the creature parasitized by the aliens?" Locke said, gesturing at the creature.

"It should be, but since the alien has already arrived here, why didn't he go up?" Stanley looked at the wreckage and said strangely.

"Probably because of this thing." Professor Martin knelt on the ground, looked carefully at the last step, and then showed everyone an inconspicuous fungus.

"I've been paying attention to this before, there are plants on all the sides of the steps, and there is a faint smell of this fungus on the walls on both sides of our steps." He went on to say to everyone.

"You mean, this fungus can keep the alien from moving forward?" Stanley asked, a little incredulous.

"I don't know the living habits of the alien yet, and I haven't even seen the alien, and the only explanation now is pretty much this." Professor Martin stood up, pointed to the ground not far away, and said, "This fungus is obviously artificially planted, you see, when you get there, there is no more, and that is where the alien broke out. ”

"In that case, let's get some to bring with us." Crossbones said to Professor Martin.

"Well, I think the xenomorph may hate the smell, you can bring some with you, but I'm not sure that this will really be useful for the xenomorph, maybe the xenomorph will stop here because there are no creatures on it." Stanley immediately said that if these people really felt that they could sit back and relax with this fungus, it would have a serious impact on the survival of the entire team, and he still hoped that everyone would not give up their vigilance.

In Stanley's memory, aliens have no natural enemies, maybe the real aliens in this world will have natural enemies, but all this is still unknown, after all, Professor Martin's perception of aliens only comes from Stanley himself, and there may be some mistakes and omissions.

"Yes, Mr. Stanley is right, and I'm not sure that this fungus will really work against aliens, so don't take it lightly." Professor Martin was not angry that Stanley refuted his point of view, after all, Stanley also thought about everyone, not to mention that among all the people here, only Stanley had some understanding of the alien, and he himself just came to some specious conclusions based on the actual situation.

Although Professor Martin and Stanley repeatedly said that there was no guarantee that the alien would be afraid of this smell, everyone still subconsciously got some plants and put them in the pockets of their clothes, as for smearing them directly on their bodies, they didn't dare, after all, who knows if this fungus will have other side effects.

Everyone moved forward very cautiously, this place was a little empty, everyone changed from two rows to a circular formation, always alert to possible crises, and Stanley knew that the alien would actually climb the wall, so the moment he remembered, he also told everyone, let them also pay attention to the wall, maybe the alien cat in a certain position.

Sure enough, just when everyone was less than a few dozen meters forward, a soldier suddenly shot at it, and the sudden gunfire startled everyone, and almost subconsciously followed the soldier to shoot upwards until the magazine was empty.

"Will, what are you crazy about?" A soldier roared, after all, in such a place of high concentration, any person's movement would bring unexpected danger.

"There's a xenomorph up there~~~ up there!" Will's hands quickly replaced the magazines, and his mouth reported to Crossbone.

"Yes, Captain, I saw that too!" Another soldier followed.

"All in spirits, it looks like we're welcomed! ~"Crossbones knew that the people in this team were soldiers who had experienced war, so he didn't doubt his own soldiers, but immediately gave the order.

"Everyone remembers that Xenomorphs are creatures with high intelligence and hunter intuition, don't let go of any trouble, and remember what I said before, don't leave the team, if you do, sorry, we won't save you!" Stanley shouted.

"Yes, understood!" When the rest of the soldiers heard this, they immediately responded.

After all, Stanley is the real leader of this team, but Stanley has always let Crossbones manage it, after all, he doesn't understand how to manage soldiers, and some special gestures used by soldiers in battle.

This kind of situation of letting a layman command the elite is only caused by Stanley's ability to 'predict', of course, in fact, Phil Coulson also knew that Stanley probably wouldn't really command, so he added the crossbone.

"Two o'clock! Attention, there's an anomaly over there! Mindy said suddenly.

At this time, everyone had changed from a circular formation to a phalanx, so hearing Mindy's words, the soldiers in front of the left immediately aimed at the direction Mindy said, and with the help of high-definition night vision goggles, they quickly found an alien lurking in the darkness, and shot without hesitation.

In fact, it can be seen here that although the intelligence of the alien is very high, it is not too high, at least the alien does not know how to use weapons, and the alien has not seen the weapons used by humans, so it lurks in the dark and does not know that humans have discovered it.

Of course, it's not that the alien is completely unvigilant, but as an alien who grew up in the pyramid, he has no experience with humans who use weapons, so although it is a little strange because the prey suddenly looks in the direction where he is, he still follows his instinct and continues to lurk and wait for the prey to be fooled.

As a result, the xenomorph turned into a target and was killed by the soldiers with powerful firepower. Of course, the xenomorph wants to try to escape or resist, but once it is shot by a group of people's bullets, the continuous blows of the bullets will deform the xenomorph's movements, and it will die before it can escape the shooting range.

"Dead!" A soldier saw that the alien was completely motionless, and immediately raised a hand and said.

Hearing the soldier's words, the people who had attacked before stopped attacking, and at this moment, the alien who fell 'dead' in a pool of blood suddenly jumped up, ready to sneak attack the nearest human, but was sniped by Mindy with a sniper rifle as soon as he jumped into the air!
