Hardcore crisis

"Ahem..."

Suddenly waking up from the darkness, Lu Yuan lay down and retched regardless. The severe sting tortured his brain, making him feel like he was on the verge of collapse.

"Sir, how do you feel?"

Sonny's voice sounded next to him, and he handed over a glass of water at the right moment.

"Huh, how long have I been unconscious?"

Lu Yuan took the water glass, but did not drink it immediately. Instead, he raised his head and stared at Sonny.

"18 hours, 27 minutes and 34 seconds."

Sonny accurately called out the seconds.

But this shocked Lu Yuan: "18 hours? I was unconscious for 18 hours! How is Donghai City?"

"Sir, please rest assured that the last target is fine now, and the alien egg has not matured and broken his chest."

"Immature and broken breasts?"

Hearing these words, Lu Yuan was slightly startled. He might as well have been a little surprised. Although after the facehugger is implanted into the alien larvae, the time it takes for the mature chest to break is related to the individual's physique and other factors. It can range from a few hours to It can take several days, but most hatchlings mature within ten hours.

Although hearing Sonny say this made Lu Yuan a little less anxious, it was hard to feel completely at ease. Who knew whether the alien larvae would mature and burst out of his chest in the next second. It can be said that with every second that passes, the situation gets closer to something terrible.

He has experienced so many things in these days, and everything is to a degree that ordinary people cannot imagine in their lifetime. Lu Yuan has also been trained. The more anxious he is, the more he has to calm down.

"Hel me up."

After letting Sonny help him up from the bed, Lu Yuan took a sip of water and then asked, "How was the follow-up matter last night?"

"The tunnels of the mine have been destroyed, and the remaining alien eggs inside have been basically eliminated... The caves of the second nest have also been carefully inspected, and no discoveries were missed. Because humans later started to organize searches, for your safety, I took it upon myself to I advocate sending you back first... so the human body doesn’t have time to cover up.”

"..."

Lu Yuan remained silent and didn't speak. After waiting for a long time, he said: "Thank you for your hard work. There is nothing we can do if we are too late. This is beyond our control. Fortunately, all the alien corpses were concentrated in the cave. I think the whole cave collapsed. It shouldn’t have much impact.”

The only remaining gaps are those six people!

However, because five of them were hosted by alien larvae, their brains were affected by anesthesia, and they would not remember what happened before when they woke up. Only that Lao Cai is the biggest loophole. Even if he didn't see the specific image of the alien in the dark night, he still remembered that there were monsters chasing them... If it was just one person's confession, the police would not accept it.

That's ridiculous, monsters killing people?

If we say monsters kill people just based on the strangeness of the corpses, then with so many strange cases across the country that have not been solved, can they all be classified as monsters killing people? That would be great, all kinds of corpse mutilation cases, headless cases, and corpse mutilation cases can be passed on to monsters.

The police focus on physical evidence and empirical evidence when handling cases. Without specific evidence, it is impossible to rely on one person's confession alone. Otherwise, who would dare to report it to the leadership?

Lu Yuan was not worried about this, nor was he afraid that the police would really dare to use huge manpower and material resources to dig up mountains based on one person's confession, unless the people above him were crazy.

But there was exactly one key omission that made everything different.

That was the alien larvae in the belly of the last person.

As long as this alien larva matures and breaks its chest, no matter how ridiculous Lao Cai's words sound, the police will have to admit it in the face of the facts.

Once this result is reached, the state will inevitably intervene!

Words such as "military sealing the mountain" and "military acting" flashed through Lu Yuan's mind. What was even more frightening was that the state machinery was in full action. A collapsed cave could be dug through in a week by using large-scale machinery regardless of the cost. By then, the alien will be completely exposed.

With such a result, can he still hide his identity?

It's hard to say that even though he destroyed all the evidence, there is still no trace left. Lao Cai's confession will become key evidence. For example, who can save him? Who brought those five people back? If you are keenly aware of this, you may also be asked about your memory when you met Lao Cai yesterday morning. By then, it will be a matter of time to conduct a large-scale search of this area and find the warehouse.

Of course, if it had been that time, Lu Yuan would have sensed something was wrong and left before the country could find clues. But he had to give up everything in the country, and the layout of Yan Zhiwen's side would also be in vain.

Lu Yuan was unwilling to accept such consequences.

"If I had kept silent last night and not saved anyone, I wouldn't have had so many worries..."

Somehow, this idea flashed through Lu Yuan's mind.

"No, then would I still be human?"

"Since you choose to keep the USB flash drive, you have to face this kind of thing. If you don't be ruthless, you will find your own death sooner or later and dig a grave for yourself to sleep in forever!"

"But am I still myself?"

"You hypocritical guy, let's put it bluntly, you are just indecisive. Sooner or later, you will kill yourself. Since ancient times, who has not had innocent blood on his hands? Those who can get the best of both worlds will be dead long ago. Only those who stand at the end , to write history!”

There is always a stalemate in the mind of heaven and man, and it seems that no one can convince anyone.

However, in reality, Lu Yuan's heart was already somewhat inclined to preserve himself. It is ridiculous to talk about saving others when you are threatening yourself.

"Humans always like to justify their actions..."

Lu Yuan coughed and wanted to stand up from the bed.

"Sir, please rest for a while, your physical condition is very bad." Sonny persuaded.

"Sonny, I can't rest easy now."

Lu Yuan sighed: "Whether it's for ourselves or other innocent people, once an alien appears in a place like a hospital, do you know how many casualties there will be?"

"The Alien Queen does not know whether she will live or die now, but without the restriction of the Queen's pheromones, the newly born larvae will most likely transform into the Alien Queen again in a short period of time, so...at this time, I cannot rest."

Lu Yuan stared at Sonny with firm eyes: "So, bring the medicine."

"Sorry, sir, taking NZT in your current condition may cause irreparable damage to your body."

"You're wrong, Sonny."

Shaking his head and rejecting Sonny's words, Lu Yuan said: "It should be that my body has been irreparably damaged since I started taking NZT. To be honest, even if the side effects of NZT are solved, all the previous effects on my body will still be gone." I don’t think the damage caused will ever be restored.”

Sonny was silent not knowing what to say.

"Don't worry too much, I think there is still a way."

The solution is in this USB flash drive, but it’s too dangerous, and it’s not easy to get.

Since Lu Yuan said so and his attitude was very tough, Sonny had no choice but to bring him the medicine and give it to him.

After taking the medicine and waiting for a minute, the effects of the medicine gradually took effect. Lu Yuan became energetic. The previous headache and vomiting disappeared, replaced by incomparable confidence in his body.

After getting up and changing some clothes, Lu Yuan walked to the computer and sat down, "What is the specific situation now?"

Through the wireless network, Sonny transmitted the data in real time and displayed it on the monitor for Lu Yuan to view.

"The six people were sent to the Second Hospital in the city center at that time. According to the backend database of the hospital bed management system, the six people were admitted to Nos. 609, 610, 611, 612, 622, 623, and No. 640…”

The last person's condition record was displayed on the screen, with the name column marked "Liang Kexin" and bed number 640.

Lu Yuan was somewhat impressed by this person. After all, he was the only woman among the six people rescued.

"Snapped."

After reloading the magazine for 1911, Lu Yuan stared at the photo of "Liang Kexin", stood up from the chair and walked towards the door: "Sonny, I'll leave this to you."
