A group of body bags displayed in the open space of the hub passage made Amanda wake up after being shocked. She laughed at herself: "Why should I try to chase people here and even think about communicating with them? They have become frightened beasts. When they see strangers, they either avoid or attack them, but they have no trust." Luo Bo said: "Because you know that you can't achieve anything by yourself. In order to achieve your goal, you will inevitably have to make some difficult choices, including enduring some things and some people." Amanda instinctively wanted to fight back. However, what about the phrase ‘some people include you? ’ After all, she still couldn’t say it, because Robo was gone, as if he had never existed. This person was just a dream in her mind. There is no doubt that this is Luo Bo's method. It actually imitates the interaction between Matt Kowalski, played by George Clooney, and Ryan Stone, the heroine, during the spacewalk in "Gravity". Of course, Walker Luobo has no memory of film and television information from the Earth Age. However, when Luo Bo's main soul carried out personality splitting and corresponding memory bank, it was not so detailed that it even deleted related patterns. In other words, Walker Luo Boy knew this kind of gameplay because his main soul was deeply impressed by this joke, but he didn't know its specific origin.
There are actually many situations like this. For example, the main soul is also deeply impressed by the concept of the matrix in "The Matrix", and Walker Robbo also knows about it. Another example is StarCraft. Robbo the Walker is particularly impressed by it, because this game can be said to be Robbo's childhood memory. The impression is too deep and the influence is far-reaching, and it cannot be taken away at all. In short, Robbo planted a spiritual hint in Amanda, and then after sending her away, he chose to hide behind the scenes. The previous mental suggestion will be triggered by this, making Amanda confused. She can't figure out whether such a strange person really accompanied her on the journey, or whether this person was simply fabricated out of thin air after she fell into a dream state. Another reason for such doubts is that after the disappearance of the Nostromo, the lonely Amanda missed her mother and suffered from mental illness herself. Although he recovered later, this disease cannot be completely cured and can easily relapse. It's just that she can suppress it and behave like a normal person in front of outsiders. Since she is withdrawn and irritable and has few friends, others naturally don't have the leisure and elegance to really care about her and know about her hidden illness. Anyway, from now on, on the surface, Amanda becomes a person. Mainly because Luo Bo felt that otherwise, this operation would be boring. He was too powerful, and with his presence, it would be difficult for Amanda to shine. Rob believes that Amanda needs to be like Erin Ripley in 2015. Under enough external pressure, her potential can explode and she can show her shining qualities. Amanda took out the long knife on her back and found that it was not the one she made for herself in her memory, but the one belonging to Ethan Hunter. This is naturally Luo Bo's little trick, just to confuse the audience. It seems that there are no two knives at all, there is always only this well-designed sharp weapon. "Okay, let's give up our weakness and no longer need to paralyze myself with self-created illusions. I should muster up the courage..." Amanda gave up deliberately searching for the survivors here and trying to interact with them, but refocused her attention on ' Head to the Terminal' on this destination. The result is inevitable channel blockage. After all, not all areas can be spanned by ventilation ducts. The central air conditioning of this space station is not so powerful that it can be used as a hub to ventilate the entire space station. Instead, it is divided into several units.
These units are not divided into functional areas such as dock area, business area, office area, and dormitory area. Rather, it is a division at the structural level. To put it simply, Savastopol is composed of four large and five small castle units. They are all units, the most important one is the terminal building in the center. As for the ventilation system, each unit forms its own domain and forms a network, but the control and management are controlled by the terminal. Therefore, if you want to go to other units, there are no ventilation ducts to use and you can only use the large passages between units. And this kind of passage is now locked. Not only do you need an ID card, you also need tools. Because these doors are locked by the revolving door locks. In desperation, Amanda could only search around for the ID card and the special Allen wrench. The search process was somewhat lackluster. The wrench was found, but the ID card was never found. In the tool room where the wrench was obtained, two staff members died tragically. The two people locked themselves in a cage, but were invaded by aliens from the ventilation duct. The two probably fought to the death, so that the aliens rarely took away their bodies, but chose to cut them into pieces to vent their anger. Looking at this shocking and cruel scene, Amanda could easily think of Robbo's previous description of the alien. Then he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "If we can trust each other more, even if the aliens can succeed a few times, their habits and tricks will be exposed and known to everyone. After that, targeted prevention can be carried out, and the possibility of being successfully attacked will naturally be greatly reduced. Therefore, those who create trouble secretly and divide people into small groups are the most abhorrent! " Although without Robbo's company, Amanda quickly completed her self-consistency and adaptation. She is also a person who is used to being alone and relying on herself when there are problems. Shortly after getting the Allen wrench, she realized she might be able to return to the morgue and see if she could get an ID card from one of the victims in a body bag. As a result, a man suddenly appeared and put a pistol to his head. "Raise your hand and turn around slowly. I'm very nervous now. If I accidentally pull the trigger, I'll die! You have to be gentle." The man said sadly. Amanda slowly turned around and came face to face with the other person. He was a bald man. He was taller than her, but not tall enough. He looked like he was in his thirties or forties, and his bald head made him look older. This guy's body language is quite rich, as if he's holding his urine in his hands and moving around, which shows that he's very nervous. Seeing Amanda looking at him calmly, the man said sternly: "You'd better be honest. Tell me, what are you doing so active?" "Was it you who passed by the passage at the end of my field of vision and led me here?" "You are being questioned now. If you don't want to die, you'd better be honest!" "Then have you seen my companion?"
"Don't try to bluff me, you are just a human being! I have been staring at you for a while." "I do have companions, but the explosion that happened a few hours ago separated us while we were on a space walk..." The bald man mocked: "Spacewalk? What for? Repairing facilities or dismantling space station components? You lie to find such loopholes." "Who are you? The unlucky guy who was accidentally stranded here? If you are someone who has been working and living here for a long time, you should be able to tell that my face is unfamiliar. I come from outside!" "The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes. There is no starship at all. How did you come from outside?" "If you are Law Enforcement Officer Waits, you should know that the Torrance arrived recently because a merchant ship previously found the flight recorder of a crashed spacecraft owned by Wieland Company. My companions and I, I’m here to hand over the item.” The bald man stared at Amanda with burning eyes and asked: "The name of the merchant ship." "Annis Dora." "Where was the voyage recorder found?" "Reticulus Constellation." "Which starship does the voyage recorder belong to?" "You've already asked too many questions, so I can't give you an answer." The bald man's eyes widened, he waved the gun in his hand and spoke from between his teeth: "I want you to say it!" "So you are a crew member of the Annese Dora? I'm sorry, but you are of no use to me. I can't complete the mission without getting the voyage recorder. If you don't complete the mission, you won't be able to get back to the ship. Moreover, I was separated from my accomplice, and he had the equipment to enhance the communication function. I had to find him before I could get in touch with the Torrance. " The bald man became anxious and growled like a villain: "Didn't you see whose hand the gun was?" "Sir, I know that there are assassin-type monsters lurking here, and I also know that people have been divided into several small groups, and they may fight on the spot if they disagree. But I'm still trying to achieve my goal, for the reasons I just made clear. I say it again and for the last time: If I can't complete the mission, I can't get back to the ship, so if you escape on the Torrance, you're not pointing a gun at me, but you're showing value. How big of a difference does it make to be shot by you, someone else, or an alien? " "Fack! Fack!" The bald man cursed angrily, but he did not dare to let go. His angry look actually looked a bit pitiful. He put away his gun and said: "Although I am a former crew member of the Annese Dora, I am already familiar with this place. I know where the communication station is. It is a bit far away from here, and several areas are relatively dangerous. Among them, at least one requires the cooperation of two people to open the passage. Now, I want to know, if I help you, can I get a boat ticket? "After saying that, he stared at Amanda for a moment. Amanda replied sternly: "Play enough role to help me find my companions and complete the mission. I will guarantee your personality and grant you a boat ticket." "Very good!" The bald man put down the hand holding the gun handle. "My name is West, and I am stranded in this strange place due to illness. After recovering from the illness, I worked here for a few days doing odd jobs, and I am more familiar with this place than you think. Stop running around like a conspicuous bag and come with me. I'll take you to the communication station. "
"OK, I'm willing to try to trust you, let's go." After the two reached an agreement, instead of going directly to the communication station, they went to West's temporary safe house first. According to West, the communication station is in the system technology tower, which is another of the four major units. It is diagonally opposite from here, so it is relatively far away. Interestingly, on the way to the safe house, I met a man and a woman repairing the elevator. Seeing that the two of them were bare-handed, West just shouted a few words and let them go. Amanda couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?" West snorted: "What's going on? Of course everyone does their own thing! This is called freedom. Don't look at the harmless behavior of those two people. If I didn't have a gun in my hand, it would be a different expression. Here, kindness has become a disguise for survival. If anyone believes it, the result will probably be a bad death. " When Amanda came to an elevator, she was about to move forward, but West stopped her and said, "Let me do it. These elevators are old. Originally, they only needed some tricks to be used normally, but someone made it a trap to pit people. If you don't do it well, you will not be sent to the underground, but to hell." In the elevator, West reminded, "Go forward, you will enter the territory of some scumbags. Try to keep silent as much as possible. Even if you have to say something, try to speak in a low voice. Be alert and follow my gestures. They have the habit of armed patrols. You understand simple gestures?" Amanda nodded, "I have received a full set of pioneer training." Pioneers, also known as interstellar colonists, need to play multiple roles, so they will receive more rigorous military training than militias, and military sign language is one of them. Amanda has always been committed to investigating the truth of the disappearance of the Nostromo, so she not only studied the courses in this area seriously, but also added class hours and difficulty herself, so that she would not fall behind even if she acted with real soldiers. Facts have proved that West is indeed a local idiot, and he did encounter patrolmen. One of them was holding a shotgun, and the other was holding a plasma gun, both of which were rifles of this era. Compared with them, the little BIU BIU in West's hand was obviously not good enough. Moreover, he was wearing armor. It was also an exoskeleton, a close-fitting one, but with a layer of modular armor attached to the outside. This kind of exoskeleton is far from the heavy power armor of Warhammer 40K Astartes, and even the planetary armor (power armor suit) of the Master Chief in the Halo series, but at least the pistol in West's hand was helpless against it. Therefore, West could only avoid it. However, the parties wearing armor and holding big guns did not have the mentality of being masters. "...Nonsense, buddy, we should find a way to leave this weird place." Another one said dissatisfiedly: "It's easy to say, if there is a way, do you think people don't want to leave? Here, at least it's safer. We are familiar with every place here, and there are surveillance cameras at important locations. If we leave here, who knows what is in the darkness where the power supply can't be met?" The one who thinks leaving is the best choice retorted: "But how long can this safety last? Why did we move to this place before, have you forgotten?
Those monsters will come, what should we do then?" "What else can we do? Of course, we will beat them into sieves. Don't talk about this topic during patrol, okay? It makes me nervous." After the patrolman left, West took Amanda to continue drilling the ventilation duct. Finally, they came to a pipeline maintenance room. As the name suggests, this place is for the convenience of pipeline maintenance. Materials are imported from the entrance and exit above the head, and then it is convenient for maintenance personnel to replace parts in the pipeline. So, there are two entrances to the maintenance room, and after the top entrance is locked from the inside, the only entrance is in the ventilation duct, which is very hidden. Coming here, West packed up the things he needed to bring and said, "Now, people here are no longer good or bad. In order to survive, they often do anything." Amanda asked, "Have you dealt with those two people before?" "Yeah, xenophobic bastards. I have consciously tried to please them, but all I got in return was contempt and worse. If you are neither humble nor arrogant, they will think you are not polite enough. If you use your authority or means to deal with them, they will feel wronged and say that you are domineering and don't know how to adapt to local customs." "Wouldn't it be difficult to get along with them?" "What else? Where can we not have such self-centered and annoying guys?" Amanda looked around and had to say that West was also a qualified hamster. He had stockpiled a lot of supplies here and there was almost no place to put his feet. "Have you been living here before?" "What else? My housekeeper is on vacation, so it's a bit dirty and messy here? Don't stand there stupidly, you have to bring what you think you need. If nothing unexpected happens, we won't come back here again." Well, there are really things here that Amanda likes. For example, it has been nearly ten hours since the start of the action. Amanda has not rested much, eaten anything, or drunk water, but her energy has been consumed. Here, there are energy drinks that can refresh you, as well as energy bars, and even chewing gum that can quench your thirst and help relieve stress. West also emphasized that there are many dark places on the next section of the road, and there is no lighting, so it is best to equip lighting equipment and enough batteries. Amanda chose a headlamp. This thing can be loaded on the helmet of its exoskeleton, which is very convenient. Although the large battery weighs 5 kilograms, it is not cumbersome to load it on the back of the exoskeleton. The power for lighting is enough. "Be careful not to shine the light everywhere, the light is too conspicuous in the dark." West reminded. "Don't worry, I won't turn on the light all the time, only when necessary." The two of them ate and drank, and then used a small basin covered with a plastic bag to deal with the waste. They were considered to have packed up neatly, and then they started their long journey.
