Chapter 53: The Facehug
It was supposed to be a group of alien eggs that were quietly dormant, but suddenly in an inconspicuous corner, a alien egg quietly opened the upper end of the mouthpiece-like thing, and a strange insect with a strange shape and eight legs slowly poked its head out of the upper port, and before the whole body was exposed, it jumped out without warning, and the target was Sandru in the middle of the only team.
It's as fast as lightning.,Don't give the other party a chance to react and dodge.,As long as the head is held by this monster called the "face-hugging worm", there is only one result - to become a parasitic host for alien larvae.
"Be careful!" The first to be discovered was Yun Qi, who was vigilant about the mutations of the alien eggs around him from the first step into the hatchery, so he volunteered to be the vanguard.
Who would have thought that the person who attacked the face-hugging insect was not him, but Sandru, who had a good relationship and lost the protection of the skeleton suit.
Yun Qi immediately took out the Cobra's exclusive pistol, but found that there were no bullets in it.
It turned out that in the previous battle, he had shot all the frozen bullets that had been in the exclusive pistol, and he still hadn't had time to refill the magazine.
A small mistake will inevitably lead to unimaginable consequences.
Yun Qi didn't know if after being hugged by the face-hugging worm, he would faint directly like in the original movie, and then wait for the alien to break out of his chest, but he knew that if he didn't save Sandru, his life would be in danger.
Time waits for no one, Yun Qi didn't have time to think about it, he immediately turned on the energy-consuming effect of the acceleration armor, instantly increased the speed to the extreme, and barely rushed in front of Sandru, it was too late to pull a hand, so he simply followed the inertia of the charge, and crashed into Sandru's body at once, he deliberately avoided the heart and other vital parts, especially so, or broke Sandru's two ribs under the impact of huge inertia.
It's just to save people, but Yun Qi can't save himself.
With a weight of more than a hundred catties, plus the weight of the acceleration armor, it is not at all what Yun Qi said at present that he could stop walking, so that he himself would take the place of Sandru and become the target of the face-hugging worm's attack.
Yun Qi only felt that his eyes were dark, and his whole person was like an empty shell that had lost the source of strength, and his body fell forward.
The face-hugging insect directly used the acid secreted from its mouthparts to corrode the polymer glass hood of the acceleration armor.
At this time, Sandru and Murphy reacted, looked around, and saw that one by one the alien eggs were being closed one by one. Suddenly, a bone-chilling coldness crawled up the spine of the two of them.
Sandru didn't care about his own safety, and the first thing he did was to command the newly summoned skeleton alien to help Yun Qi get rid of the facehugging worm that had "close contact" with him.
However, the xenomorph is a special creature that continues the inheritance of the race by hosting other creatures, and the design of the facehugging insect has long had a defense against being stripped by others.
The eight legs of the face-hugging insect firmly locked Yun Qi's head like iron pincers, and he couldn't pick it off at all with the brute force of the skeleton alien, but the eight legs that were locked more and more were likely to hurt Yun Qi.
And it is impossible to kill it directly, you must know that the face-hugging insect has alien genes left in its body, and the terrible strong acid blood is its biggest defense.
"Leave him alone and watch out for yourself."
As soon as Murphy's words fell, a startling gunfire rang out in his ears.
A facehugging insect that wanted to repeat its old trick was smashed by a barrage of bullets, and fell to the ground with convulsions. The green blood that had been left behind was even more flowing on the ground covered with alien slime.
Sandru immediately recalled the skeletal alien and pulled out his pistol and fired indiscriminately into the air. He didn't have the ability to shoot basically, and although he had a certain amount of shooting training in the initial space, it was an impossible task to shoot down the wanton face-hugging worms like Yun Qi or Murphy.
Fortunately, there are skeleton aliens as personal bodyguards, and a large number of fish that have slipped through the net have narrowly avoided "close contact" again and again under the brave protection of the skeleton aliens.
The hatching room is the home of the alien eggs, and the alien eggs that cover almost all the positions that are visible to the eyes are inexhaustible.
As more and more face-hugging insects fall to the ground and die, more alien eggs launch a "suicidal" charge under the stimulation of gunsmoke and gunfire. Every time a face-hugging insect is killed, an alien egg immediately opens to replace the dead kindred, and this replacement is getting faster and faster, so that there is an illusion of endless killing.
If this continues, it won't be long before the two of them will be drowned in the vast sea of the war of hugging faces.
In the midst of death and terror, Yun Qi, who was originally lying motionless on the ground, suddenly came to a carp to stiffen, and the heavy acceleration armor was still in a state of energy activation, so this action was easily completed in the dual role of his own strength and acceleration armor.
The first thing I did when I got up was just to look at the corpse of the facehugging insect on the ground that had lost its vitality, and I didn't know if it had completed its mission or if something unexpected had happened in the middle.
And all the information about the face-hugging insect was displayed in Yun Qi's eyes.
[Facehugger: Extremely fast, good at leaping with strength, once attacked by the facehug, the host immediately loses consciousness, and during this period injects alien eggs from the host's mouth. It was born with the sole mission of parasitizing other higher beings and breeding aliens, and died instantly upon completion of its mission. Kill the facehug and reward 10 reincarnation points. 】
"Great, are you alright?" Sandru, who saw the sudden change out of the corner of his eye, exclaimed in surprise, but it was this small distraction, the pistol bullet did not enter the intended route again, and a fish that slipped through the net passed through the defense line woven by the bullet and entered the attack range.
Sandru's surprise command skeleton alien intercepted it halfway, but he didn't want the face-hugging insect to completely open its limbs in the air, such a small action greatly increased the air resistance and slowed down the time for it to attack the target.
As a result, the accurately calculated attack missed in the slightest, and the facehugging insect dodged the tail thorn attack that was originally stabbed, and jumped on the tail end, opening its limbs "very kindly" and flying towards Sandru's cheeks.
"It's over!" Sandru let out a cry of sorrow in his heart, and it was impossible to dodge anything from a distance.
Just as his despair was born, Magnum's characteristic voice sounded, and the face-hugging worm, which was almost close to it, was knocked directly from the side.
Yun Qi put away the silver large-caliber revolver that was still smoking, and just looked around, especially the alien egg, and quickly grasped the chance of survival.
[Alien Egg: A product of the Alien Queen, it is adapted to most harsh environments and can even remain active for several years in a vacuum. Kills reward 100 reincarnation points. 】
[Exclusive Passive Skill: ?? 】
A face-hugging insect only rewards 10 points, and an alien egg has a 10-fold reward, compared to the reward for killing an adult alien, the alien egg is simply a super big benefit.
Yun Qi doesn't think that the main god will give you a place to brush up points casually, behind the huge returns, there are often unexpected hidden dangers, as for where the hidden dangers are, Yun Qi naturally casts his eyes on the unknown exclusive passive.
But the current situation can't help him to look ahead and backwards, and quickly getting rid of the attack of the face-hugging insect is the first choice.
So, he changed into a Cobra pistol, filled the magazine with bullets, turned on the burst mode, and shot at the alien eggs all over the ground.
Sure enough, the prompt sound came from my ears:
[You kill an alien egg and get 100 reincarnation points.] 】
[Alien exclusive passive ability triggers.] 】
Yun Qi was stunned for a moment, what does the exclusive passive trigger mean.
Once again, he unleashed his insight on the shattered alien egg, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.
"I see." The corner of Yun Qi's mouth inadvertently revealed an unpredictable sneer.
Then, he quickly put away his sneer and shouted at Sandru and Murphy, "Attack the alien egg, the more face-hugging worms kill, the more it will attract!" ”
The appearance of the face-hugging insect has its own survival law, if you see the host and can't help but say a rush up, the result will naturally cause more monks and less porridge, and the face-hugging insect that is out of the protection of the alien egg, the survival time outside is very short, once the alien egg can not be discharged within the limited time, they will also die. Therefore, the facehugging insect determines whether it is out of the alien egg according to the number of hosts in the outside world, as well as the number of people in the vicinity.
And the result of Sandru and Murphy constantly shooting face-hugging bugs will only make the bugs who are ready to move eagerly wait. Whenever a face-hugging bug dies, another one will appear immediately.
That's why Sandru is getting bigger and bigger.
Sandru and Murphy may not be able to comprehend Yun Qi's thoughts, but they also feel that blindly shooting will only become more and more disadvantageous, so while shooting, they point their guns at the alien eggs on the ground.
Of course, this kind of shooting is a bit blind, and Yun Qi shouted: "Kill the one closest to you." ”
The two did what they said, and now, they are in danger, and instead rely on the "guidance" of a new person.
Sure enough, as the alien eggs continued to die in the near future, the frequency of the face-hugging insects jumping out to attack slowed down, and it was more leisurely than simply shooting the face-hugging insects. In the end, Sandru simply let the skeleton alien join the ranks of attacking the alien egg, because the support of Murphy and Yunqi alone is more than enough.
No matter how difficult the level is, once you get an effective cracking strategy, it is only a matter of time before you win.
No matter how many alien eggs there are in the hatching room, they can't withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the three. Finally, when the last alien egg burst open with dark green plasma, a seemingly insignificant battle came to an end.
The three of them soon find Sebastian, the male protagonist who is gradually awakening, in the depths of the hatchery.
In addition to him, there was actually another survivor at the scene, a survivor who was clearly a character in the plot.
"Help me!" When the survivor heard the voice, he immediately looked like a drowning man grasping at a straw, and his eyes flashed with a strong desire to survive.
"Are you ......" Although Yun Qi guessed the identities of the two, he had to confirm it with his own ears.
"I'm Miller, you're a mercenary hired by the Weyland Company, it's great, someone has finally come to save us." Miller's mood swings were very violent, and this desperate situation made the three reincarnators present also feel some empathy.
Miller, the incapable chemical engineer in the original story, is in charge of some of the assistance work.
At their feet, there were two corpses of face-hugging insects with eight limbs facing the sky, and it was clear that they had alien larvae implanted in their bodies.
"It's too late." It was Murphy who spoke, and he shot Miller with a shot, hitting the alien hiding part of his body, killing him twice with one shot.
"Kill me, it's in my body." Sebastian did not show any excitement at the killing of his companion, but shouted more calmly: "They must not reach the surface, they must not reach the surface." No, wait, you can't do that. ”
Compared to Miller, Sebastian was most directly cared for by the reincarnation: Murphy, who had just behaved like a cold butcher, teamed up with Sandru to free Sebastian from the matrix secreted by the aliens, completely ignoring Sebastian's protests.
"Shut up, we are here to save you, not to kill you, at Miss Woods' orders." Sandru roars and interrupts the chattering, death-bent male protagonist.
"It's going to be in vain, and I know I don't have much to live. You're making enemies for the whole of humanity! Sebastian seems to be determined to die.
Although they knew that the other party was just an NPC created by the main god, the reincarnators were still moved by Sebastian's selfless spirit, but they were moved by the task, and the task was still the first choice.
But just when Sebastian was rescued from the alien shackles by Sandru and Murphy, the heraldic prompt of the three sounded suddenly:
[Urgent Mission: You help Sebastian get out of the alien cage, and the strong sense of crisis makes the alien larvae lurking in his body break their chests early, and ask the reincarnation to solve the current crisis within 1 minute. 】
Damn the Lord God, he actually played such an international joke with them.
Sebastian, who was held up by the two, rolled his eyes and twitched as the task prompt sounded, and his strength was so great that even the two reincarnators could barely suppress it.
"Oh no, the alien is coming out! What to do? Murphy was in a hurry, he didn't expect the Lord God to play with them, and he was immediately overwhelmed.
There's nothing worse than the feeling of a task reward running through your fingers, and it's no wonder that a taciturn Murphy is panicking.
He is good at fighting, but he is not much better than ordinary people when it comes to the unexpected.
"Let's figure it out." Sandru, who was also helpless, found a lifesaver.
If anyone can reverse the unfair disadvantage in 1 minute, it is Yunqi. (PS: 3900 words update, as a temporary compensation for not being able to change the second update.) )
