Chapter 1-1
There was only one Alien in this movie. Yet this Alien still killed everyone besides the main character.
Zero crouched beside the bodies without a word. He dipped his finger into the blood, then smelled it. "Dead for four to five hours."
Xuan also crouched next to the bodies then measured the diameter of the holes with his fingers and compared their sizes. He stood up with a serious expression after quite some time. "It's indeed a queen. This is bad news, our mission is to eliminate all Aliens right? If there's a queen in this spacecraft then... I think we are probably dead."
The others looked at him. Lan touched her forehead and said. "I remember the queen is the kind that can lay eggs. It has an immense size compared to regular Aliens. Is this what you're referring to?"
Xuan nodded. "Yes. It's over ten times stronger than a regular Alien. You can't even damage it without heavy firearms. The worst thing is we are obvious out here."
Zheng asked. "Obvious? What do you mean?"
"Food, think about it, to grow an Alien from the size of a serpent to over six feet tall in a short period of time, do you think they can just grow out of thin air? No, it requires a huge amount of organic material and energy. In other words, they need to eat during this period. In fact I was curious why didn't they eat the bodies? Does that mean they had already found enough bodies?" Xuan mumbled these words.
Xuan stood up and continued. "We are very likely to become their food. If it's only the eight of us, we could stay together and react when they appear. But what about the other seven? They are spread out through the spacecraft. They are the most delicious food in the eyes of Aliens. In fact, I suspect that all the casts had already became Alien eggs. There are eight characters, aside from the robot, the worst case senario is a Alien queen and five Aliens. This is the most likely situation we will face."
Jie asked. "Why not a few more queens? Since we are going to die anyway, a few more won't make a difference."
Xuan shook his head. "That's not possible. Aliens have their own society, just like ants and bees. There can only be one queen in a group, otherwise it will cause internal division and war, or the weaker one will leave the group. But this is inside a spacecraft, and there are only so many Aliens. There can't be another queen."
"As a matter of fact, when I first saw the movie, I had considered this species as the perfect species in the evolution of the physical body. They will adjust their form and adapt to the environment based on the genetics of the host. They can keep on modifying their genes to evolve. This is so similar to humans that unlocked their genetic constraints."
Genetic constraints? Humans? Everyone looked at this scientist with a colonel rank as he indulged in his thoughts. Then at the same time, screams and cries for help came from far in the hall. These screams sounded more and more miserable and after ten seconds, they disappeared.
Zero stared at the hall and said emotionlessly. "It's those hooligans. They got attacked."
Zheng sighed. "Let's still go take a look, if we find any Alien, we can kill them. They are supposed to be rather weak right now?"
Xuan nodded. "Yes. The Aliens are still in their second stage. We can kill them with enough fire power. Do you really only have a desert eagle and didn't exchange any other weapons?"
Zheng and Jie smiled bitterly. "We are different from you after all. I am only a white collar worker. Aside from Jie being a retired soldier, Lan's a writer and Xiaoyi's only a student. Can you expect us to know a lot or how to fight a battle?"
