"We need the Torrance, but we can't contact it now. After being awakened by the returned Samuel, Amanda thought about it and answered Samuel's question like this. "Are you worried that the battleship of the unknown force will sink it after receiving our call signal and knowing the existence of the Torrance?" "It is indeed possible." Amanda added: "But don't forget, when we came, we followed the normal process, including sending multiple communication requests to the space station. As you just said, this heavily armed hunting team has an insider. In other words, there is a very high probability that this person knows about the arrival of the Torrance. Fortunately, the Torrance chose the slingshot cruise in order to save energy. As long as we don't take the initiative to expose ourselves, and the Torrance doesn't take the initiative to show up, I believe this battleship will not cause trouble..." The so-called slingshot cruise uses the influence of the planet's rotation to maintain a certain speed for the ship, and even complete acceleration and deceleration. Sevastopol is not stationary, but keeps pace with the current gaseous planet. It is precisely for this reason that the dry dock that the Torrance did not have earlier could be docked, and allowing Amanda and Samuel to perform spacewalks seemed risky. After all, they are moving at high speed at the same time. The two are only relatively stationary, and because of the vacuum environment, they appear static. In fact, the speed is much faster than that of a sea ship. In this case, if something goes wrong, it will be a disaster. Even if a person is thrown into space, it is impossible to stop the ship or turn around to save him. He can only continue forward and circle the planet before trying to rescue the person in the estimated area.
In short, acceleration and deceleration of a starship during regular navigation consumes a lot of energy. Especially a private ship like the Torrance. In such a situation, it would rather circle the planet in circles than stop completely, and then Then start from scratch and accelerate. Moreover, Torrance is not simply orbiting gaseous planets, but also includes its satellites and other planets. In short, it must ensure that it uses the planet's gravity and rotation to make silky walks, and call people to pick them up when needed. So Samuel immediately understood what Amanda meant. The unknown force came over in a battleship, and what they did was shameful, but it wasn't very beautiful, and it was so slow that they haven't even finished it yet. If the Torrance is called at this time, the other party will have the bad intention of killing people and silencing them if they are not protected. "Then how do you think we can save ourselves?" "Communication capabilities, and drift cabin." Samuel understood Amanda's answer immediately. The communication capability meant that the Torrance could be summoned after a certain amount of time if needed. The drift cabin is a worst-case scenario. The Sevastopol space station crashes, and a certain area is closed internally and can be escaped in time. Samuel is a bionic person and does not need to breathe. It is just Amanda. Prepare properly in advance and survive. It won't be a big problem for a few days. After some thought, Samuel also agreed with Amanda's plan. After discussion, the two decided that this communication station was suitable for being used as a drift cabin. First of all, the communication equipment basically does not need to be moved. Only a small backup generator is needed, which can start some equipment, summon the Torrance, and even use internal electricity. Secondly, the communication station is one of the highest points in Area C, and the overall structure is like a triangle on a double fork. It only needs to destroy the two 'necks' with the elevator as the pipe, the communication station control room, and its underlying buildings. , it can break away from the space station and be thrown into the deep space of the universe. The most important thing is that with the abilities of the two of them, it is not too difficult to implement this plan. No matter how good the idea is, it is useless if it is too difficult to implement. Now Amanda is a top-notch mechanical technician, Samuel is a snake oil, and the plan is not particularly complicated, so it does have a high probability of success. So, when the alien capture team conducted their second round of alien capture, Amanda and Samuel were already working hard to implement their self-rescue plan. Samuel went to carry the required space suits, small generators, oxygenation, pressurization, temperature insulation and other equipment. Amanda began to make necessary modifications to the communication station, including blocking and strengthening passages and hatches, streamlining communication equipment at the expense of functionality, creating a self-styled air supply and gravity pressurization system, etc... This scene made Luo Bo feel helpless.
Naturally, he would prefer to see a fierce confrontation between Amanda and the hunting team. After all, difficult choices under sufficient pressure can best highlight human character. To him, this was not the most valuable part. How did the child of destiny face these darkest moments and soul torture. How his heroic decision was born or inspired. But Amanda chose to be cowardly, which was quite rational, but she also missed the opportunity to shine brightly. For him, Amanda's behavior of relying on her own skills to avoid disasters cannot bring many high-value thinking products. Fortunately, Collison, the major commander of the hunting team, is a greedy little expert in seeking death. And the alien showed great wisdom, so the play can continue. Just when Collinson mobilized the work force Joe and rushed to the B-C main passage to carry out simple weapons, a group of aliens actually left Area B with alien eggs and quietly rushed to the new Area D. Robbo realized immediately that the aliens were arranging a backup plan. In order to survive and reproduce, the aliens also work very hard. The queen personally takes charge of attracting the attention of greedy hunters, and gives up the suspected chance of survival to the facehuggers who are equivalent to cubs. Just like that, time slipped away again for more than an hour. Collison gathered more than forty working men in his hands, and the Adventurer also took advantage of the opportunity to transport caged aliens onto the ship, sending more weapons and ammunition back and forth. These new ones are mainly used to arm working Joe. Not long after being armed, Collison threw out a huge reward bait and assembled a so-called quick response team as the frontline commander and supervisor. Surrounded by Job Joe, he launched the third operation. However, the aliens once again surprised the action team. The aliens created a new type of soldier, a petite alien with mixed characteristics including dogs and common livestock. This is the embodiment of the alien having its own weaving genes, activating discarded genes, and having a richer gene pool - able to produce different types of troops according to needs. This kind of little thing is still more powerful than Work Joe, because Work Joe doesn't wear armor, his movements are a bit dull, and he is not a professional combat bionic. Relying on their inhuman physical characteristics and strength, they are capable of bullying ordinary people with pistols, but they are not enough to face aliens. These alien dogs are agile and strong, have sharp fingers and claws, and vicious tail vertebrae. They forcefully pass between the working Joes, poke them with their triangular tail vertebrae, and scratch with their sharp claws, immediately causing the workers' Joe's skin to be torn open, and even his intestines and stomach torn open. And because they are small in size and low in weight, they can move quickly in the ventilation ducts without making the sound of stepping on suspended iron sheets. Coupled with the considerable number and crazy bravery, the loss of work Joe was very rapid. Of course, the alien dogs also paid a price. After all, Work Joe is not afraid of pain and has great strength. Before they are damaged, their burst of fighting power is still very terrifying. Many alien dogs have their necks broken or directly torn to pieces. The scene is Tragic. Samuel, who went out again, also encountered an alien. There are aliens and branch nests in Area C. They do not support Area B, but they have obviously become more active and violent. Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins. Samuel fired two shots in a row. The single-point bullet fired by the shotgun was actually dodged. The second shot was a tracer bullet, which hit the alien's right shoulder. The effect was very ordinary, and it only tore some flesh. The bottom of the bullet reflects light under the light, which means it doesn't shoot deep enough. There was no chance to fire a third shot, the alien was already close at hand. Samuel decisively changed his knife. He still uses Amanda's homemade equipment.
The long sword was unsheathed, but the alien was already riding on his face. It was too close, and it was difficult for the sword to produce enough damage. Samuel also knew how to be flexible, using the counterweight of the long knife handle to hit the alien's head. The counterweight cone, which was not very sharp but had the characteristics of a pickaxe and had a health tank, hit the alien's head, 'Crack! ' With a sound, a piece was dented directly, and a clear crack was produced. The alien was in pain and dizzy. Samuel took the opportunity to lift his foot and push it away. He spun around and avoided the alien's claws. At the same time, he swung his long knife and slashed, 'Crack! ’ The abnormally shaped chest and abdomen were cut into two sections by Samuel. Two limbs fell to the ground. They were still alive for a moment. They were violently convulsing and struggling in vain. Acid blood spattered with great force. Samuel could only avoid its sharp edges to avoid being splashed with acid blood. Samuel paid attention to the long knife and found that the blade did not have a special coating and was not corroded by the acid blood, as if the two would not react. This detail surprised Samuel. He knew several anti-corrosion metal material formulas, but there was no reason for this type of alloy to be processed by crude means here, and it was incompatible with the metal characteristics of this long knife. This means that Amanda at least masters a special steel-clad processing method and tempering method. Otherwise, it cannot be explained that this knife is not afraid of the abnormal acid blood corrosion. "Amanda Ripley, there are obviously major flaws in the relevant information held by the company..." On the action team's side, the house leaked and it rained all night. The work team was frustrated, and Collison asked the supervising team to retreat. Captain Adams took the initiative to organize a team to respond. The aliens were cunning, and they deliberately waited until the work force Joe team went deeper and saw the alien eggs and the corpses of the parasitized people sealed nearby, before the alien dogs suddenly launched an attack. This caused the team to have a long way to withdraw. Walk. Thanks to work, Joe is not afraid of death. Before he is completely destroyed, he can still kill indiscriminately and serve as the back-up force, which is quite qualified. The war supervision team was also decisive. When they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately withdrew. In this way, there were still about a dozen working men around. They could be sent to take over at any time when encountering new enemy situations, buying more time for the war supervision team. However, Adams believed that this was not enough, so he took people to respond. As a result, we encountered another brand new alien. This alien is tall and strong, with well-developed muscles, thick and long arms, sharp claws, and a severe hunchback. At first glance, it looks a bit like King Kong. In fact, it was indeed born by activating the genes of ancient apes. This is the second version of the alien hunter, no longer sneaking or walking through ventilation ducts, but a straight-up street fighter. This guy actually knew how to use tools, carried a metal workbench, and charged at Adams and the others. Although Adams and the others had heavy weapons and could penetrate the metal workbench, they also greatly reduced the power of the bullets. The structure is this King Kong alien shape. It rushes over hard, throws the workbench suddenly, and then jumps up. The mercenary was knocked down by the workbench, his chest was dented by the jumping Vajra Alien, and he vomited blood on the spot. Then he was slapped and his neck bone was broken. The armored suit has a special protection mechanism in this position, and methods such as strangling and twisting the neck are no longer enough to deal with people wearing armored suits. However, the King Kong alien relied on its strange strength to ignore this protection mechanism, so that it broke its neck with a slap. "Shoot! Shoot! Destroy it!" Adams was shocked and angry. Giving such an order was equivalent to letting everyone go and fight, and don't be afraid that this place will also be turned into a damaged area without oxygen, lighting, and gravity. So the sound of "sizzling" electric current and the roar of grenade explosions rang out intensively. The King Kong alien actually picked up the metal workbench as a shield again.
But this time, the soldiers did not give it a chance to pick it up calmly. The direct and tyrannical energy bombardment and high-powered grenade explosions finally tore open the King Kong alien's protection, blowing it into blood and flesh flying and screaming wildly. With the sound of a hammer hitting an anvil, the bomb smashed into its metal body, tearing the wet skin and the active metal underneath. The injured one was no longer able to use the workbench as a shield, but it became more dangerous and terrifying. It roared loudly in the hail of bullets, and blood mist and red light rose from its body. Robo sat up unconsciously in front of the screen. The surveillance camera in this area was not in a good position, but it still allowed Robo to see the new method of the King Kong Alien. "What is this? Extraordinary? Or microorganism?" In short, this blood mist and red light are very useful. The energy and explosion fragments have obviously been reduced in power, and can only cause a little shallow injury to the King Kong Alien. With such injuries, the King Kong Alien can recover in less than five minutes. "Go to hell, monster!" The soldier was anxious and began to throw the grenade regardless of anything. This grenade, called "magnesium hot melt", can create an ultra-high temperature area in the explosion area, and is therefore commonly known as a nuclear grenade. However, even such a killing weapon still could not kill the King Kong Alien. The blinding light faded quickly, and one arm and nearly one-third of the body turned into ashes, but he was still alive. His horrific injuries were temporarily sealed by some kind of self-healing ability, and soon a large area of scab-like substances appeared, half-charred like a burn wound. It was with such an emergency treatment method that the King Kong alien turned into a ferocious beast again and jumped and pounced, killing another soldier unstoppably before being shot to death. "Retreat! Must retreat!" Adams thought so. His only thought now was to quickly reunite with the retreating supervision team, and then even if he pointed a gun at Collison's head, he had to take people away from this place of trouble as soon as possible. As for collecting the bodies of his dead brothers and avenging them, Adams could only break his promise and say sorry.
