Synthesis of Terror: On the One Thousand and One Ways of Death of the Protagonist

The battleship has arrived near planet lv426, and it is expected to arrive tomorrow morning. Officer Gorman gave an order to start operations at 08:30 tomorrow morning.

For Gao Man, an officer who came down from the air, these marines didn't buy much. Their attitude towards him was worse than Qin Yue, a civilian. They responded in twos and threes, and then dispersed.

The weapon room was empty. Qin Yue looked at the rows of guns and ammunition on the weapon rack with a dazed expression. If there were so many weapons on that ship, would the result be different?

"How do you know so much about aliens?"

An abrupt female voice sounded behind Qin Yue. Qin Yue turned her head and saw Ripley's familiar face.

Ripley was invited to the ship as a special consultant. Because she had dealt with aliens and knew something about them, the company specially hired her.

But at the meeting just now, this man made the matter of the alien very clear, some things were even clearer than her client. Started the research, could the fall of the colonial planet be caused by an accident in the company's research?

No matter how smart Ripley is, she would never have imagined that Buck would be the Ford who once fought side by side with her.

Qin Yue looked at Ripley's serious face, opened her mouth, and fell silent again.

Should she tell Ripley the truth?

Welland Corporation may have some knowledge about aliens, but they probably don't know much. The research on the colony planet should only have started in the last two years.

Qin Yue is not a core member of the company, and she doesn't know much about it. Now facing Ripley's questioning, should she tell the truth?

"I'm Ford, the bionic man who was rescued by you on the spaceship 57 years ago."

Qin Yue decided to tell the truth. The only people here who know more about the aliens are the two of them. Instead of making Ripley suspicious, it is better to tell everything openly.

Hearing Qin Yue's words, Ripley's face was full of shock. She looked at Qin Yue in disbelief, and looked her up and down, as if she wanted to find the shadow of the beautiful female bionic person in the male body in front of her. .

She understands the truth?But Buck was a man!Do androids change sex too?

"How could you be Ford? It's impossible!"

Ripley couldn't believe it. When Ford was so seriously injured, he still insisted on looking for Elizabeth. How could she find Elizabeth and bring her back to the rescue cabin in just 10 minutes?

This is impossible.

Ripley's expression turned cold. She looked at Buck's handsome face with a look of disgust in her eyes: "Please don't make fun of my friend."

A little helplessness appeared on Qin Yue's face: "I don't need to lie, Ripley, I'm Ford, I was found by the search and rescue team seven years ago, and I was brought back to Earth. Welland Company transformed me, just like you You see, they turned me into Buck and gave me a new identity, a new family."

"My previous memory has been cleaned, but it may be affected by unknown reasons during the interstellar journey, and the memory has been restored. Otherwise, how could I know about the alien?"

Ripley still didn't believe it. After all, this incident was incredible. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Buck is Ford, how is it possible?

Seeing that Ripley still didn't believe her, Qin Yue had no choice but to use her trump card: "When Dallas was parasitized by aliens, I asked you to cooperate and wanted to kill Dallas."

Ripley didn't tell anyone about this matter, except for Ford and her, no one knew about it. Hearing Qin Yue's words, Ripley finally believed it. Modified Ford.

Thinking that there was actually a woman living in the body of the man in front of him, Ripley felt uncomfortable all over. Looking at Buck's handsome face, he just felt very uneasy.

Qin Yue didn't care too much, she had done zombies and monsters before, and she didn't feel much about changing the character design casually from male to female.

Anyway, this body is not hers.

The weapons room is not a good place to chat. Qin Yue took Ripley back to her room. On the way, she met a few marines. When she saw them going back to the room together, her eyes became very strange.

I'm so excited, didn't you forget to have a shot before the big battle?

Qin Yue didn't care about those eyes full of deep meaning. Ripley was hit hard by what he just learned, and he was a little dazed, so he didn't notice those people's eyes.

No one knew exactly what the two of them said in the room, but after Ripley came out of Qin Yue's room, his mood became more and more heavy.

Even if the top leadership has changed, the style of this Welland Company has not changed a bit.

Human life is nothing in the eyes of those people.

***

There was nothing to say all night, and at 07:30 the next morning, the crew gathered in the weapon room, ready to enter the colony.

Just like coming to this planet for the first time, the big ship still flies around the planet synchronously, and everyone goes to the planet in a small spaceship.

About to enter the place where Ripley's nightmare started, she was a little nervous, Qin Yue patted her on the shoulder, silently comforting her.

Ripley looked back at Qin Yue, forced a smile, and followed the members of the Marine Corps into the armored vehicle.

The small spaceship carried the armored vehicle and flew towards the colony.

The air of the colony has been modified to adapt to human survival. Therefore, the members of the Marine Corps did not wear protective clothing. Qin Yue was a little worried and suggested that everyone wear protective clothing, which would be more or less guaranteed.

Officer Gorman said that protective clothing was not prepared on the battleship.

Qin Yue froze for a moment, then remembered the company's sinister intentions, and exchanged glances with Ripley, both of them saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.

The spaceship soon reached the colony.

Although the air here has been modified to adapt to human survival, the environment here is not much different from the last time I came here.

The light of the stars was weak, and it was impossible to see the distant scenery clearly. The wind howled outside the armored vehicle, and the dust and smoke filled the sky made the visibility even lower.

Qin Yue's heart was a little heavy, and she pinched Ripley's hand subconsciously. Ripley turned her head and looked at Qin Yue's tense side face, with mixed emotions in her heart.

The spaceship flew around the colonial area, and there was no sign of a single person on the ground. Even though everyone was mentally prepared, it was still hard for them to accept this scene.

The spaceship landed slowly in the main area of ​​the colony, the engine roared loudly, and the dust blown up when the spaceship landed scattered around. No one noticed that a black shadow not far away flashed away.

The armored vehicle came out of the spaceship, the hatch of the spaceship closed slowly, and a huge figure got into the spaceship before the hatch closed.

It didn't know when it started to rain outside, and the raindrops fell on the car window, splashing a small splash, and the wiper turned on, sweeping away the rainwater on the windshield.

The armored vehicle soon arrived at the destination. Officer Goldman, Qin Yue, Ripley and the black captain stayed on the armored vehicle, and the rest divided into two teams to search for survivors.

Qin Yue's gaze was fixed on the screen, looking at the picture sent back from it, trying to find traces of the existence of aliens.

It has been five months since the colonial star lost contact and they arrived here. The streets are very deserted. The doors of many houses are directly open, and the inside is dark. It is impossible to see what is there.

Members of the Marine Corps all have search devices in their hands. The things they use are naturally much better than those that Ai Xi casually made. Not only is the search range wider, but the device is only the size of a palm, so it is easy to carry.

After searching around and finding nothing, members of the Marine Corps went to the central building of the colony.

This is the company's office area on the colony planet. It covers a large area and has the strongest defense on the entire planet.

Hudson opened the closed door, and the lights inside were bright, but the ground was a mess. Seeing this scene, Qin Yue's heart tightened, and she shouted to the communicator: "Everyone, be careful, there may be aliens here."

There was a team member's response from the communicator, and Qin Yue's heart sank slowly as she watched the screen sent back from the communicator.

Many places in the building were damaged, it looked like it was caused by light weapons, and there were traces of explosions in many places, but no human or alien corpses were seen.

A group of people went up to the second floor, and everyone searched separately, and soon found some large holes dissolved by unknown liquid.

Seeing those big holes, Qin Yue's last bit of luck was extinguished. The one who attacked the colony was indeed an alien.

Ripley obviously understood this too, and her face became very ugly. Those pictures brought back her painful memories. Great strength.

Qin Yue glanced at Ripley, feeling a little worried. Ripley was so nervous before seeing the alien, is she really okay?

Except for the traces dissolved by the strong acid, the marines did not find any danger for the time being. Officer Gorman drove into the base from the south gate regardless of Qin Yue and Ripley's obstruction.

Qin Yue looked at Gao Man with a gloomy gaze. This man could not listen to other people's advice. As the supreme commander, he was not suitable.

Ripley seemed to have sensed Qin Yue's killing intent, and reached out to hold Qin Yue's hand that was about to move.

The bionics were clearly designed not to kill humans, but Ripley didn't know what happened to the bionics he met. Ai Xi was like this, and so was Qin Yue. The bionics had a higher force value than humans. Program restrictions, human beings, can they control bionics?

"He's the Supreme Commander."

Ripley looked at Qin Yue and said in a low voice, "Don't do it."

Qin Yue was silent. At that moment just now, Qin Yue did have the idea of ​​killing Officer Gaoman, but just as she rose up, she was pushed down by herself again. Qin Yue didn't know when she became so bloodthirsty, Officer Goldman just didn't listen to her suggestion. For this simple reason, is she going to kill someone?

Qin Yue didn't dare to think deeply about the meaning behind this, she followed Ripley and others to get off the armored vehicle in silence.

The scene in the base was even more dire than what they saw on the screen. The entrances and exits of many passages had been distorted, and Qin Yue and the others had to bend down to get in.

The cabin door was sealed, and the stairs were blocked by heavy objects, but these objects did not block the alien's footsteps. There was no one in the room, and there were no corpses.

Qin Yue's house was in a mess, and she felt cold all over. If those people hadn't become the host of the alien, they might have been used as food by the alien.

Many roads have been blocked and cannot go forward. The group can only pass through the laboratory and go to the main control room.

The laboratory is very large, and there are small rooms separated from it. There are many transparent containers in each room, and many strange creatures are soaked in the containers.

When passing by a laboratory, there were only a few huge glass containers in it. Qin Yue's eyes swept across the huge glass containers inadvertently. up.

It was the thing that infested Dallas's face and gave birth to the alien inside him.

Sure enough, the Welland Company was researching aliens.

Qin Yue clenched her fists and her face became gloomy, but Hicks didn't know what it was and took a few steps forward curiously, and moved closer to the glass container, wanting to take a closer look at the contents inside.

The creature soaked in the motionless creature seemed to sense someone's sister, opened its body and rushed towards Hicks, but was blocked by the glass wall, and the tail stretched and retracted under the thing's body, hitting the glass container.

This container is very strong, and the thing hit it for a long time, but the wall of the container was not damaged at all. Hicks was startled by this thing, and took a step back: "This thing is still alive?!"

Shocked, Hicks stared in disbelief at the creature still pounding the container.

Ripley's face was ugly, and she told Hicks that if the container wasn't in the way, this thing would parasitize on people's faces.

Hicks shuddered and turned his head away from the disgusting creature.

The bishop picked up the experimental reports scattered on the table, glanced at them, and told the others in the room that two of these things were still alive, and the rest were dead.

Qin Yue walked over, took the experiment report from the bishop's hand, and started to read it.

It recorded in detail the human body's reaction after being parasitized by this kind of thing called a face-hugger, and there were photos attached to the back of the report. After flipping through a few pages, Qin Yue couldn't read any more.

In the photos, there are men, women and children, some of them were parasitized by face huggers, some were of alien larvae breaking out of their bodies, and some were of alien larvae being dissected.

Those photos were too bloody, and Qin Yue was furious after looking at them for a few times. People on these colonial planets actually experimented with living people!

Forgotten memories surged out from the depths of her mind, Qin Yue recalled the nightmare she personally experienced a long time ago, and the uncontrollable tyranny burst out of her eyes.

The bishop noticed Qin Yue's abnormality, and stood in front of her calmly, his tall figure completely covering her figure.

Closing her eyes and suppressing the desire to destroy everything in her heart, Qin Yue looked at the bishop's tall back and walked out from behind him.

"Thank you."

Qin Yue thanked her in a low voice, and the bishop smiled at her without making a sound.

Ripley originally planned to kill the face-huggers in the container, but she gave up this idea because of the strong acidity in the blood of the face-huggers. It won't be long before they die like those facehuggers next to them.

After leaving the laboratory, the group continued on.

Traces of creatures were found on the explorer. The black captain contacted the team and found that there was no Marine Corps at the location displayed on the explorer.

It could be a survivor, or it could be an alien.

The thing kept moving towards them, everyone's expressions changed slightly, they picked up their weapons, and walked towards the door.

They found one survivor, a little human girl.

This is probably the only good news I encountered after entering this planet. After some hard work, the little girl was rescued.

I don't know how long this little girl has lived alone here. Facing them, the little girl is very wary. No matter what they ask, the little girl doesn't say a word.

In the end, it was Ripley who helped and got some news from the little girl.

The little girl is called Newt, and she tells Ripley that everyone here is dead, and she is the only one alive.

From the little girl's words, she learned that she had lived alone on this planet for five months, and the food she hid was exhausted. Hearing the movements of these people, the little girl ventured out from the hiding place.

It is conceivable that if the group of them came later, the little girl would starve to death.

Ripley brought some food to Newt, and comforted her gently. Ripley once had a daughter who was about the same age as Newt, but she had been away for too long, and her daughter had already died. Seeing this little girl At this moment, Ripley seemed to see his daughter.

She wants to protect her.

The bishop was studying the corpse of the face hugger, and Qin Yue walked over, watching his movements silently.

The bishop raised his head and looked at Qin Yue who was standing beside him, with a smile on his face: "This is a very magical creature, what do you think?"

Qin Yue glanced at the dismembered body of the facehugger on the anatomy table, and turned her head away in disgust.

The soldiers of the Marine Corps were busy on the sidelines, and no one noticed the two of them. The bishop looked at Qin Yue's profile and said, "May I ask, why are you angry when you see those photos?"

"You're also a bionic, aren't you? Why are you sad and angry because of the death of a human?"

The bishop really didn't understand. He even thought that Qin Yue's body had malfunctioned, and the reason why he was hiding the strange Qin Yue just now was because human beings would destroy the bionics after discovering that they were malfunctioning.

In order to prevent malfunctioning bionics from running amok and hurting people, human beings can destroy bionics regardless of the reason.

This is a human right.
