Chapter 250: The Lair
It was also quite difficult for Lu Yuan to keep following closely behind the messenger alien and to ensure that he would not be detected by it.
To his slight surprise, the messenger xenomorph hadn't traveled too far, and about a kilometer deep into the forest from the riverbank, a small gap appeared in front of him.
The width of this gap is not more than six or seven meters, and most of it is obscured by shrubs and leaves, and the length may be twenty or thirty meters long.
Seeing that this messenger alien jumped into it suddenly, Lu Yuan also slowly walked over.
Through the moment of lightning and thunder, Lu Yuan saw clearly what was underneath, the gap seemed to be an underground river, deep and bottomless, even the bright light brought by lightning was quickly swallowed up, and only the sound of water brought by the messenger alien jumped down.
Xenomorphs can swim, there's no doubt about it.
But is the alien queen really in here?
Of course, the alien can swim, thanks to the high-speed swinging effect brought by its body structure, but in terms of the weight of the alien queen, the river that ordinary alien can easily swim over is a big threat to it, if it falls into too deep water, it can't escape the consequences of settling.
If the Alien Queen is really here......
Lu Yuan waited for a while, then took out a set of metal sheets in his arms and covered them with the edge of his eyes.
"Click......"
A series of rapid deformations, the sheet of metal quickly covered his entire eyes, as if he had put on a metal glasses for himself.
When used in conjunction with a single-layer crystal contact lens, in front of Lu Yuan, the entire world suddenly lit up, no longer a pitch black that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, but turned into a world of green and gray shimmers.
Jump into the route with the Courier Alien. Lu Yuan also waited for a while, and then jumped down.
"Poof!"
The water splashed everywhere, and sure enough, as Lu Yuan expected, the seemingly bottomless dark river, in fact, only reached his waist, which was undoubtedly just a stream for the alien queen. It doesn't pose much of a threat.
Swimming forward in the direction of the dark river, Lu Yuan showed a signal interruption in front of him, and jumped into the dark river underground, obviously unable to connect with the satellite for data relay, and cut off the connection with Sonny.
Somehow, it was easier for him.
Sonny's recent abnormal behavior made Lu Yuan a little suspicious, and he wondered if he should carry out the destruction plan in advance.
After Sonny was initially accidentally released, he planned to shoot a swarm of autonomous nanobots from the world of Enemy of the Mechanic to be on the safe side. The results of swarm autonomous nanobots are indeed very good. The liquid metal robot T1000 was easily killed, which shows that whether it is against the NS-5 robot or against the liquid metal robot, the swarm autonomous nanobot is a very effective lethal weapon.
Although Sonny was friendly and obedient afterwards, Lu Yuan still carefully found a few opportunities in the following time to save the three swarm autonomous nanobot embedding tubes in batches to a safe place.
Of course, in addition to the swarm autonomous nanobots, Lu Yuan has another precautionary measure. But it is a last resort that must not be used until the last resort.
Sonny's abilities are pretty good. Although its human-like AI made Lu Yuan uneasy from time to time, it was precisely because of its high AI intelligence level that it stood out from many NS-5s and became the best one, bringing him countless helps.
Seriously, in the absence of evidence. Whether to destroy Sonny, Lu Yuan had some hesitation.
Shocked.
When did he become so hesitant?
Since you have chosen this path, no matter how emotional you are, it is a way to find death.
"Puff ......"
On top of the smooth stone wall washed by the dark river, a messenger alien was silently cut into several pieces, unable to fall into the water. There is a gurgling sound of acidic blood and water.
It's a pity that the sneak attack that has been tried and tested in the past has been encountered by Lu Yuan, and getting too close to him is completely an act of looking for death. This act of looking for death didn't even have time to scream before the temporary, and he died unconsciously.
Suppressing countless thoughts, Lu Yuan's heart moved, and the large net composed of nanowires slowly moved forward, only to hear the sound of two consecutive falling water movements ten meters in front of him, following the tragic situation of the alien just now, the two aliens hidden on the stone wall of the dark river in front of them still did not escape the fate of being divided.
What if all the aliens were like these three aliens and took the initiative to find death?
This idea is very constructive, the aliens themselves are such murderous cosmic creatures, they will not let go of any medium and large creatures, Lu Yuan took the initiative to run to their lair this time, thinking that those aliens would not attack him as if they were crazy.
"Hey, are you there?"
As soon as he turned a corner, the width of the dark river in front of him suddenly shrank sharply, and a wide platform appeared on the right side, in Lu Yuan's eyes, this platform, which was about hundreds of square meters, was full of dense alien eggs.
Alien eggs are born from the oocysts of the Alien Queen through the ovipositor outside the body, and this kind of egg-like shape, but the body size is quite amazing, the alien egg looks like leather, covered with a layer of transparent resin gel, and the uneven appearance looks disgusting.
"Whoa!"
Lu Yuan jumped ashore from the water, and the movement was quite large, but there was no alien rushing out in front of him.
Raising his feet and walking into the dense alien eggs, Lu Yuan's face suddenly became not very good-looking.
Most of the closed petal-like structures of the alien eggs have long been opened, like death flowers made of flesh and blood, but there is only a small part of the white gelatinous medium inside, and there is no trace of the face-hugging insects at all.
This is indeed the lair of the aliens.
The high strength of the heat retention from PTFE makes the temperature of the special-shaped nest always constant between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius, and due to the high humidity, walking in the special-shaped nest, the breathing is very stuffy.
But no matter how depressed he is, he can't compare to Lu Yuan's heavy mood.
Although the nest is large, it is not the "Eighteen Bends" with complex terrain and structure, you can see the end of the nest at a glance, and Lu Yuan can also find that not only most of the alien eggs have been opened, but the alien queen is impossible to talk about, there is no shadow at all.
And just above the surrounding stone walls, the twig milk slime secreted by the alien wrapped and bound the corpses into cocoons, and there were more than sixty of them!
There are human beings.
There are also carcasses of animals.
The number is staggering.
Compared to the number of aliens, the nest in front of him, which he didn't even see a single alien, was what made him even more disappointed.
Where have all the aliens gone?
The front of the Dark River had shrunk dramatically, seeping through the cracks in the stone, making it impossible for the aliens to pass through, and there was no fork in the road here, no other way except this platform.
Could it be that he went back the way he came?
It can't be because of yourself. Lu Yuan thought about it for a moment, and his pupils shrank.
The Alien Queen is smarter and more alert than he imagined, and the arrival of tens of thousands of troops and powerful weapons has completely alarmed the Alien Queen. This is no joke, if it weren't for the fact that this rainstorm affected the army's search operations, I'm afraid the army would have searched around here.
The Alien Queen has escaped!
Maybe the four aliens in front of them were tempted in the past......
Lu Yuan's footsteps did not stop, thinking and moving forward, where he walked, whether it was an open alien egg or a non-open alien egg, all of them were cut into pieces by countless nanowires, although the shape and structure seemed to be intact, but it was definitely just an illusion.
The Alien Queen was really alert, which made him feel a little tricky.
It seems that although the intelligence of the aliens is not yet at the level of humans, when it comes to killing and alertness, humans can't catch up.
However, this is not a spaceship, nor is it a colony with only a few dozen people, nor is it a human city that has not aroused vigilance, but a place that has alarmed the army and surrounded the entire small group of mountains!
The scene of alien corpses and alien hatchlings breaking their chests may further irritate the army and the country.
Escaping from it does not prolong the life of the Alien Queen, but rather accelerates its death.
With a human army on guard, especially the army of one of the five super rogue countries, it is really not enough to see the alien in a head-on conflict...... He must now hurry up and make sure that the Empress is not captured alive by the army...... No, all the aliens must be killed, and not a single one must be left alive. (To be continued.) )
