Chapter 3 Courage
half an hour……

Luo Li looked at the route map displayed on the central console, roughly estimated the time, and made a decision in his mind.

“I can go as bait, but I have three conditions.

First, I don’t trust you. I want Zheng Zha to be the one to open and close the channels, and you are responsible for teaching him.

Second, I requested that the last isolation door remain open. I didn't want to be trapped in one place for a long time in this horror movie full of dangers.

Three, tell me how to activate the ship's self-destruct device."

Hearing this, Chu Xuan pushed his glasses again, agreed to Luo Li's request, and then looked at Li Shuaxi beside him. Although he didn't say a word, it was obvious that he wanted him to make a choice.

"Li Shuaxi, think about it another way. If you don't serve as bait, you'll have to fight the Alien Queen to the death. Which one do you want to choose?"

Seeing that Li Shuaxi had not made a decision yet, Luo Li patted him on the shoulder and told him not to just focus on the bait, but to think about what he would have to face if he didn't act as bait.

After Luo Li's reminder, Li Shuaxi suddenly realized that between being a bait and fighting with the Alien Queen, he decisively chose the former.

"Okay! I agree to be the bait! But I also have requests, the same as Brother Luo's."

Li Shuaxi made his own choice and made the same request as Luo Li.

A few minutes later, the two prepared men stood at the door of the control room.

While waiting for the gate to open, Luo Li felt inexplicably excited. In order to calm himself down, he started talking to Li Shuaxi, whose legs were shaking slightly.

"Li Shuaxi, have you memorized the route?"

"Remember... remember clearly. I'll run to the left and turn left when I reach a corner. Brother Luo, you run to the right and turn right when you reach a corner."

Li Shuaxi's voice trembled as he spoke, and he now regretted his decision a little.

"Relax, how are you going to run like this? If all else fails, think on the bright side. Maybe we won't encounter any aliens at all."

"I..." Before Li Shuaxi could finish his words, a sound came from inside the door in front of them, indicating that the door was about to open.

"Don't think too much, just keep running. I hope our next meeting will be in the main god space."

As the words fell, the door of the central control room opened completely. Luo Li left a blessing and ran out first without waiting for Li Shuaxi's response.

"Brother Luo..." Li Shuaxi looked at Luo Li's figure disappearing in the corridor on the right, gritted his teeth and rushed into the corridor on the left.

"They're leaving. Let's get ready and leave in two minutes."

Zheng Zha looked at the images displayed on the surveillance camera, set the time for the isolation door to close, and then said to the others.

huh... huh... huh...

Luo Li ran wildly in the corridor with his head down. His ears were filled with the sound of his own heavy breathing, footsteps and the sound of the wind as he ran. Apart from that, there was no other sound.

But this does not mean it is safe. After all, the aliens are best at launching attacks silently.

As time passed, Luo Li, who had been running at full speed, soon felt exhausted and his speed inevitably slowed down. This slowdown made Luo Li unable to help but have wild thoughts, his originally rhythmic breathing became disordered, and he began to get impatient.

How much time has passed... Have Zheng Zha and the others taken action? Have all the aliens been called back by the Alien Queen who sensed danger? Or should we take a break...

Luo Li was relying entirely on his perseverance to persevere, running mechanically along the corridor and turning right when he came to a corner.

After turning an unknown corner, Luo Li suddenly felt something under his feet, and he fell out and rolled several times on the ground.

Hahaha
Luo Li lay on the ground gasping for breath. The fall had taken away his last bit of strength. Now he had no strength to get up, let alone continue running.

After counting silently for a few seconds, Luo Li regained some strength and managed to get up from the ground. Looking at the safety door in front of him that had not yet fallen, he guessed that he should have escaped from the passage trap designed by Chu Xuan.

Afterwards, Luo Li, who did not need to rush, looked towards the corner to see what had tripped him. As a result, he saw a person lying face down there. Judging from the clothes on his body, he should be the original character in the story.

This is... Ripley! How did she die?

Luo Li was shocked when he saw the corpse with a small hole in its forehead. But then he thought, since the Alien Queen had been brought out by the Lord God, it was normal for the protagonist of the story to die.

Then, Luo Li remembered that Ripley seemed to be the adjutant on this ship, so he searched the body and finally found an ID card with Ripley's portrait printed on it. With this card, he would have permission to enter most areas of the spaceship.

Putting the ID card close to his body, Luo Li planned to return to the control room and make further plans.

After walking a few steps, Luo Li suddenly realized that the wound on Ripley's forehead was too small. If he had not watched all the Alien movies, he really would not have noticed this detail.

Luo Li realized that something was wrong and immediately became alert. He walked lightly and kept close to the wall, trying his best not to make any noise while walking.

What on earth killed Ripley... Luo Li tried his best to recall the details of the Alien series, looking around nervously.

Suddenly, Luo Li saw a flash of yellow. Looking closely, he saw a tuft of yellow animal hair stuck in the crack of the ventilation duct.

The yellow animal hair is the orange cat from the original film! Could it be...?
Just as Luo Li thought of a possibility, he saw a black shadow suddenly shoot out from the crack in the ventilation duct. Subconsciously, Luo Li threw himself to the side, but the black shadow still tore a piece of flesh from his left shoulder.

Luo Li didn't have time to care about the wound on his left shoulder. His eyes were fixed on Ripley's body. He just noticed that the black shadow had crawled behind the body.

An alien about the size of a domestic cat slowly popped out of its body, holding the meat torn from Luo Li's shoulder in its mouth.

Hiss…hiss…hiss…

The alien swallowed the piece of flesh still dripping with blood, and made a hissing sound in its mouth, as if in provocation.

This beast!!!
Luo Li was suddenly filled with anger. The fear of facing the alien alone became fuel for his anger, but his mind was not dominated by anger. Instead, it became clearer.

The Messenger Alien is a special alien born by parasitizing small creatures. It is extremely fast, has poor defense, and is no stronger than an adult male.

Information about the alien in front of him quickly emerged in his mind, and Luo Li made up his mind to use this alien to force himself again.

Luo Li and the messenger alien were in a stalemate at each end of the corridor, which gave Luo Li time. He used the huge sense of danger brought to him by the alien and kept hinting at it in his mind.

Gene lock, I will definitely be able to open the gene lock, and only by opening the gene lock can I be qualified to survive!!!
