Chapter Seventy-Six: The Lodge
If you enter from here, it will be a lair built by aliens.
Lu Yuan's ears moved, and when he turned around, he saw Sonny jumping from a distance, spanning a distance of dozens of meters, and jumping down to his side.
"Is the car ready?"
"Taken care of."
"Well, that's good, besides, that alien is probably in here."
With a solemn tone, Lu Yuan was behind, Sonny was in front, and one person and one machine walked into the mine and began to explore inside.
Speaking of which, this environment is a good place for aliens to be easy to stealth and sneak attacks, but the biggest advantage of human beings is the power of science and technology, when outside, Sonny can only use dynamic night vision devices to scan the surroundings, and in this, although the alien has an innate geographical advantage, Sonny can also use ultrasound positioning.
Circles of ultrasound that could not be heard by the human ear emanated from Sonny's body, spreading rapidly along the stone wall, and in just seven or eight seconds, Sonny had scanned a rough three-dimensional view of the mine.
"There is an anomaly 317.5 meters ahead."
Sonny projected a three-dimensional map for Lu Yuan to see.
Sure enough, in the depths of this complex mine, there is a distance on the stone wall that is a little wider than the surrounding area, and the ultrasonic attenuation is also much stronger, as if something has absorbed the ultrasonic waves, causing the ultrasonic rebound to attenuate.
"Didn't you find an alien?"
Lu Yuan raised his head and asked.
"Nope."
Sonny shook his head.
"Isn't it in there?"
Despite this, Lu Yuan still didn't dare to be careless, and walked inside with AA-12, and quickly came to the anomaly under the cover of Sonny.
On this arrival, he realized why it was called an anomaly.
The stone walls of the surrounding mine tunnels are covered with gelatinous substances secreted by aliens, and there are still alien eggs on the ground, five alien eggs have been opened, and there are five cocoons around them, only the head remains outside.
Needless to say, among these five people, at least two people were known to Lu Yuan.
One is the fat man I saw this morning, and the other is the girl who scolded him, all of whom are among the five.
Now all five of them are unconscious and cocooned to the four walls, and it is obvious that they have been parasitized by the alien face-hugging worm, and there are also face-hugging insects that died after parasitizing them are completed.
"Hmm...... Bang bang bang ......"
Raising the gun, he pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the lead bullets scattered out in a large area covered the entire alien eggs, and the few alien eggs that were about to move immediately splashed viscous juice everywhere and were beaten into a mess.
"Do you still want to parasitize me?"
With a few sneers, Lu Yuan destroyed all the alien eggs here to prevent the parasitic face-hugging worm from appearing again.
"Sonny, something is wrong."
After destroying the alien egg, Lu Yuan was not very happy: "There are only five people here, and the rest of the people who have not found their bodies?" ”
"Also, since there is an alien egg, it means that the alien has successfully transformed into a queen, why is there no trace of it found here?"
"Sir, do you mean to say ......"
"It also has a nest."
Lu Yuan had a calm face: "It's really cunning." ”
"So what now?"
Sonny looked back at the five people who had been parasitized: "They have been parasitized, and in a few hours, there will be an alien breaking through the chest, and the longest will not be more than 24 hours." ”
The easiest way to deal with them is to deal with them regardless of a few shots, so that the juvenile aliens will not get a nutritional supply and will die in the womb, which is the best and most convenient and effective way to deal with them.
But to do that would be inhumane.
Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with hesitation, he closed his eyes and thought about it, and then opened his eyes: "They are still saved now, and if they take out the juvenile alien in time, they don't have to die." ”
“……”
Sonny didn't speak, and of the dozen or so options it discharged, this was undoubtedly the least likely option.
There is no medical environment here, and there is a considerable chance of death if the knife is rushed, and they have to track down the alien as soon as possible, and there is no time to get these five people to safety.
Although Sonny doesn't have to obey the three laws of robots, it is difficult for him to sit idly by and watch humans get hurt without helping. Yes, in the face of what Lu Yuan said, Sonny did not clearly object.
"Save the people first."
Pulling out the dagger, Lu Yuan and Sonny began to open the cocoon, knocking the five people off the four walls.
The five of them were breathing fairly steadily, but they fell into a fainting, Lu Yuan picked up the two, Sonny picked up the three, and quickly returned the same way.
"Are you sure you can get these people's juvenile aliens out?"
Out of the mine, Lu Yuan put the two down and asked with a breath.
"I can give it a try."
"But I can't guarantee the infection after surgery," Sonny said. ”
"That's enough, you can leave the rest to the doctor, let's do the urgent things first."
Looking at the five people on the ground, Lu Yuan suddenly hesitated: "Five people...... Can you take it back? ”
The weight of five people is nothing to Sonny, its own carrying capacity is more than twenty tons, not to mention five people, the weight of several cars is not worth mentioning. But five people are not just weight, but five people who occupy space. It's impossible to take it back like an arhat.
Hearing this, Sonny looked at the facility next to him, and suddenly walked over, grabbed the abandoned cart with both hands, and walked back.
"That's it......"
"Okay, you bring the people back, take out the alien hatchlings as soon as possible, and remember, don't come into contact with any outsiders."
Lu Yuan told again and again.
"So, sir, are you going to ......?"
"Don't worry, with a weapon in hand, the alien is not so scary, not to mention that I am not an ordinary person."
……
Watching Sonny disappear into the forest with the people, Lu Yuan turned around and took a deep breath.
"Ah...... I don't want to try it a second time! ”
On a dark and windy night, he tracked down the alien alone in the wild, and tried to hunt down a queen and an unknown number of aliens, and even the Predator didn't dare to try it easily, but he dared to do it, and he was excited.
Abnormal, absolutely abnormal!
Normal people wouldn't do such suicidal things!
The reason in his mind was constantly warning him, but Lu Yuan couldn't control the secretion of adrenaline in his body, and kept stimulating his brain to produce high-intensity excitement.
NZT is a drug that can keep people sane at a high level, but it is also easy to make people feel addicted to excitement between life and death.
It's no wonder that Eddie in the movie likes to challenge the extreme sport of cliff jumping so much, probably because it makes him very happy.
At this time, Lu Yuan also deeply experienced the inextricability brought by that sense of stimulation.
If you don't die, you won't die, but it's this kind of death that makes people fall into it.
But between deaths, Lu Yuan still maintained a strong sanity, and his heart was calm and abnormal, he walked to the side of the mine and squatted down to investigate the rest of the traces.
Although the alien is indeed very cunning, playing with humans several times in the movie, this cunning is still in the category of animals, far from being comparable to human intelligence.
For example, it knows how to make two nests, one of which is easier to find to attract attention, and the other is deeply hidden, like a cunning rabbit.
It's a pity that the idea is very good, but it doesn't know how to hide all the traces, or its form is doomed, and it can't hide its traces as flexibly as humans.
If the alien acts alone, it will be okay, and he will drag the corpse away, so if you identify it carefully, Lu Yuan really found another drag mark in front of the mine.
"Found it!"
Lu Yuan followed the clues into the forest and quickly advanced between the rugged mountains.
"The smell of blood?"
Sniffing the smell emanating from the air, Lu Yuan squatted down and pinched a handful of dirt, the sticky blood stained the dirt red, making the dirt also filled with a bloody and pungent smell.
"Looks like it's around here."
Lu Yuan suddenly moved his hand without looking back, and the AA-12 in his hand suddenly turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the rear.
"Bang!"
