NO.056 THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY

Jennifer opened her eyes slowly, and the blinding red light from the ceiling made her cry.

After a long period of low temperature sleep, her metabolism fell into a state of almost stagnation, if it weren't for the sleep chamber that would regularly stimulate her muscles with weak currents every day, it is estimated that she would have fallen into the embarrassing situation of muscular dystrophy at this time.

Jennifer was wearing flesh-colored underwear, and crawled out of the sleeping compartment with some difficulty, and her trance gradually recovered, only then did she hear the rapid alarm sound of the central computer ring in the entire warehouse.

"Father, how long have I been asleep?" Jennifer said with a somewhat drowsy forehead.

"Dear Captain Jennifer, you have been asleep for two years and three days, and today is December 24, 2309 A.D., and there are seventy-eight years and six months left before your destination, the Fairy Line." As Jennifer spoke, an emotionless synthesized voice rang out from all directions on the floor of the barn.

"Why did you wake me up?" Jennifer was confused, "Did there be any emergency?" ”

"Yes, Captain Jennifer, the ship's Sector 7 is damaged, Sector 3 is damaged, Sector 9 is unstable, and the engines are only running at forty percent."

"What happened?" Jennifer's face changed, and the feeling of dizziness suddenly disappeared.

"A UFO was found three hundred light-seconds away from the rear of the spacecraft, and twenty minutes ago, the spacecraft was attacked by UFO material, and the hull was damaged and needed urgent repairs."

Jennifer's face turned pale, and she couldn't believe it. "Give me the appearance of a UFO now, immediately, immediately!"

"Understood, Captain Jennifer." The electronic synthesis voice agreed, and in the next second, a huge spaceship like an insect, with a fusiform body and a black shell, appeared in front of Jennifer's eyes through a holographic projection, and every minute and every second, the hull of the spaceship was still squirming, where is this spaceship, it is a huge space creature at all!

"Alien!" Jennifer's face turned pale, and all luck was destroyed by the projection in front of him. She said in disbelief, "Impossible, the spacecraft escaped from the Martian colony at sub-light speed, and after two years, it has already flown out of the Koberi belt, how can it still encounter alien warships?" ”

"Captain Jennifer, I can't understand your question, and I ask you to give an order immediately." The ship's central computer ignored Jennifer's words, and just said rigidly.

At this time, the young woman known as the captain finally took a deep breath and ordered again, "Father, immediately wake up all the employees on the ship, fix the engine as quickly as possible, I want to do a new round of acceleration and shake off the biological warship behind me!" ”

"I'm sorry, Captain Jennifer." The ship's central computer, known as 'Father', replied regretfully, "All crew members have lost contact with each other a month after the ship's takeoff. ”

"What!" Jennifer was shocked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"While we were escaping the Martian colony, an alien life appeared to have crept into the ship through a crack somewhere, attacked the entire crew, and took over the food warehouse in Sector 8." "This xenomorph is so clever that it evaded my surveillance of the ship until it attacked the sleeping chamber and was spotted all of the staff. ”

"......" Jennifer's eyes showed a hint of despair, if this is the case, then I am afraid that he is really in danger this time.

"But," however, the central computer spoke again, the anthropomorphic program giving it a hint of hesitation in its tone, "Just now, I found a sign of human life in Sector 8......"

……

Zhang Heng looked at the cabin he found that had been torn by the alien shape, and only felt that the situation was a little weird.

In this cabin, there are more than a dozen coffins that have been violently destroyed, the lower part of these coffins is made of metal and connected to the floor, and the upper part is a translucent tempered glass cover.

Structurally, the coffins were able to open and close, but the lids were shattered, and some could still see dried blood inside.

These coffin-like things should be the sleeping chambers of the alien plane, by injecting some kind of antifreeze protection solution into the human body, and then reducing the temperature of the sleeping chamber to a level close to zero, people can achieve an effect similar to hibernation.

Zhang Heng gently knocked on the broken tempered glass, obviously, it seemed that there was an alien who knocked open this layer of turtle shell when everyone was sleeping, and now these people in the sleeping warehouse may have already become alien food or nursery.

However, since he found this room full of sleeping chambers, he can be sure that he is indeed in a spaceship, and it is a spaceship drifting in the deep space of the universe......

Just as Zhang Heng was pondering, suddenly, there was a dripping sound at the door of the room without warning, which was extremely abrupt and harsh with the silence that was originally empty.

This ticking sound is not the sound of objects moving and colliding, but rather a kind of ringtone for an incoming call. Zhang Heng reacted suddenly, he hesitated slightly, and finally pressed a button with a flashing green light, and suddenly, a young woman's voice came out of the horn under the button.

"This is the ship's general command center, this crew member, immediately report your number, repeat, immediately report your number."

Zhang Heng was stunned, he really didn't expect that he would be able to hear the voice of a human being, this was the first time he encountered a human on an alien plane during his experience of the dimensional star mission, and there was no hallucinatory thing on this plane, such as the divine seal, that is to say, the person who made the sound at this time was indeed a real human being.

"This crew, report your number immediately!" The young woman's voice continued.

Zhang Heng reacted at this time, he thought for a while, and then spoke, "I can't remember my number because my sleeping memory has been damaged. ”

"Then give your name, and take off your helmet." The young woman's voice came out again, and her tone was full of aggressiveness.

Zhang Heng frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction, "I said, my memory is damaged, I can't remember who I am, and I won't take off the helmet, you know how the facehug worm is parasitic, on this alien-infested spaceship, taking off the helmet is a very dangerous thing, isn't it?" ”

After hearing Zhang Heng's words, the voice in the room suddenly disappeared, as if he was thinking about something, and after about half a minute, the voice came again, "Okay, you win, no matter who you are, at least you will definitely not be an alien." I have bad news for you, there are only two survivors left on the ship, you and me. I'm in the main control room of the spaceship now, and the aliens can't help me for the time being, but you're more dangerous, and the aliens may attack you at any time. ”

"Obviously, you're also trapped here, you help me do things, I promise you to live, how about it?" Seeing that Zhang Heng didn't answer, the voice sounded again.

"Oh?" Zhang Heng looked around, and finally saw four black miniature monitors in the four corners of the room, and said in his heart, "Can you query the location of all the aliens?" ”

"No way, most of the aliens are active in the ventilation ducts, and there are no monitoring equipment in the ventilation ducts." The woman said again. "After all, my ship is just a commercial spaceship, and there are no defensive weapons, otherwise you wouldn't have boarded my ship so easily."

Zhang Heng realized this, it turned out that this voice regarded himself as a thief, a space robber or something like that, no wonder he didn't doubt why he appeared out of thin air in the spaceship.

"There are glitches in the ship's engines right now, and besides, three hundred light-seconds away, an alien battleship is trailing behind us. With its speed, it caught up with us in about thirty hours. Even if you can dodge the alien attacks in the cabin, can you dodge the destruction of the ship? The woman's voice sounded again, "You can only survive if you cooperate with me!" ”

Zhang Heng was shocked when he heard this, and only then did he truly understand the difficulty of the dimensional star mission.

Originally, he thought that the alien embryo in his body and the alien lurking in the spaceship were the obstacles to this mission, but he didn't expect that the real killer feature would be the alien warship that followed outside the spaceship?

If it were ordinary people who heard such harsh conditions, I am afraid that they would have been discouraged and completely desperate, but Zhang Heng took a deep breath instead, and his brain spun at high speed.

First of all, he must keep the alien in his body from breaking out of his body within thirty hours. Secondly, you have to dodge the aliens on the spaceship and repair the engines of the spaceship, and throw off the alien battleship behind you. If you don't do either of these two things, you will face failure!

Thinking of this, Zhang Heng had basically sorted out all the information, and at this time, he suddenly stretched out his hand to his chest and said loudly, "No, you may be mistaken." I've got an alien embryo in my body. In a few hours, the xenomorph will burst out, unless you can delay the breakage of the xenomorph in my body, why should I help you before I die? ”

"Generally, after being parasitized by aliens, the alien embryos will mature and break within twenty-four hours, how long have you been parasitized?" As if she hadn't expected this outcome, the young woman hurriedly asked.

"Six hours."

"It's only six hours, you have enough time to repair the engine, and then I can provide you with a medical surgery chamber to help you remove the alien embryos from your body, how about it, this is your only chance." Women follow the path of good seduction.

"I can't trust you, just as you can't trust me." Zhang Heng shook his head, "You must know the method to delay the time for the alien embryo to break the body, you must tell me the method before I can consider cooperating with you." ”

Zhang Heng needs to stay in the alien plane for thirty-six hours, and according to conventional experience, thirty-six hours is completely enough for the alien embryo to mature, and then it will be Zhang Heng's death period. However, the Dimensional Star will never issue a mortal mission, which means that there must be a way to delay the time for the embryo to break down.

And the only opportunity to get this method is obviously in this woman!
