Lin Xi stood in his room, staring at "No. 1" for a long time.
After noticing Lin Xi's gaze, "No. 1" behaved more and more well-behaved - or in other words, it was trying to behave like that (but its terrifying and huge body held it back).
"Zizzi..."
The sounds coming out of its body became more urgent and full of flattery.
And, Lin Xi didn't know where it learned the trick from - it began to slowly approach Lin Xi, and then gently rubbed Lin Xi's calf with its forehead and wings.
"Huh..."
Lin Xi was very sure that judging from the IQ of "No. 1", it had noticed something and was probably racking its brains to try to save the situation.
If you ignore the appearance of "No. 1", this scene can almost be called warm.
"No. 1" is like a large dog who accidentally knocked over a valuable sculpture, while Lin Xi is a distressed owner faced with an unruly pet.
"Be obedient. 'Number One'."
Lin Xi said to it.
He hesitated for a moment, then bent down slightly and touched "No. 1"'s forehead.
The touch of the alien insect's carapace became increasingly similar to that of the Sunu sculpture in the warehouse, both of which had a subtle rough and hard feel.
"No. 1" seemed to be relieved after discovering that Lin Xi was willing to reach out and touch herself.
Of course, the face of an insect cannot show any expression. The reason why Lin Xi was able to point out the emotions of "No. 1" so clearly was purely because of the round spots on its wings.
Almost the moment Lin Xi's fingers touched it, those spots began to flicker happily.
Quite soft pink and light yellow appear alternately inside those round spots. That color will probably make many young girls feel beautiful.
What's more, the tentacles of "No. 1" are gently swaying like a mammal to show its happiness. This is definitely not the habit of Star Butterfly itself, and Lin Xi doesn't know where it learned this.
But no matter what, "No. 1" seemed to be in a much better mood under Lin Xi's touch.
But only Lin Xi knew that his heart was not as calm as he showed.
His eyes stopped on the insect face of "No. 1" with red compound eyes and ferocious mouthparts.
What he was thinking about was the deep carvings on the outer frame of the egg sheath incubator.
The outer frame of the incubator is made of metal, but the mouthparts of "No. 1" can easily leave such deep tooth marks on the hard metal. One can imagine. If One wanted, it could easily tear the fragile humans aboard the Helios to shreds. Just like the records left in Dr. Ando's notes, a bad-tempered star butterfly can even easily destroy an entire city.
Lin Xi wondered why she didn't think of this earlier? Probably because "Number One"'s initial meekness affected his judgment.
After all, from beginning to end, "No. 1" never showed any aggression in front of him.
But what happened today made Lin Xi realize that he had to make some considerations about the future of "No. 1".
"Hey man, let's go back to the greenhouse, that's where you belong."
Lin Xi whispered to "No. 1".
"No. 1"'s movements were slightly stiff, and the colors on its wings changed violently several times.
But then it continued to rub against Lin Xi's body as if nothing had happened - pretending that it had not understood what Lin Xi had just said.
"Please, just listen to me - I really don't want to hurt you."
Lin Xi took his hand away from "No. 1", and then he took several steps back to put a little distance between himself and the other party.
"No. 1" stopped for a moment. It maintained its previous posture of raising its forelimbs, tilting its head and looking at Lin Xi in confusion.
After about a few seconds, No. 1 seemed to have figured out something.
It lowered its forelimbs, then flapped its wings and flew up. Then, in front of Lin Xi, it swung its wings in a dance-like movement in the small cabin.
Lin Xi often saw the same dance when it was just hatched. It's just that it could be called a cute move at that time, but now it is a complete disaster. With the flapping of those two huge wings, Lin Xi's already messy cabin immediately became like a typhoon. The crossing was miserable, with things constantly being swept off by the tails of the wings, and then falling to the ground.
"no-"
Lin Xi held her forehead and yelled at "No. 1".
"No. 1" had actually discovered something was wrong a long time ago. The moment the photo frame and test tube were swept to the ground and smashed to pieces, it immediately retracted its wings, then scurried up to Lin Xi's bed and hid in the corner.
Lin Xi: "..."
Perhaps the only thing he should be thankful for is that "No. 1" didn't imitate his wings into bedding on the bed in front of him.
This weird idea flashed through Lin Xi's mind, making him shiver involuntarily.
Lin Xi stood there, looking around his messy living cabin, and took several deep breaths before calming down.
"Look, that's why I told you that you're not meant to be in my room. You've grown up and this space is totally inappropriate for you."
"Number One" remained silent.
The tentacles flicked restlessly over its head.
"Listen, I know you can understand what I say. You have always been a smart... Bug, please, go back to where you should be. I really don't want to press the alarm for biological escape. I'm sure they will treat you very violently, and you..." Lin Xi glanced at the ferocious barbs on "No. 1"'s appendages, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "You will also treat you very cruelly. Those humans who want to capture you will definitely get out of hand in the end, and that is the last thing I want to see."
There was a hint of exhaustion in Lin Xi's tone.
"I just hope that you... you can make me worry less. After all, on this spaceship... "
Maybe I can feel a little more relaxed only when I'm with you.
Lin Xi silently kept the second half of the sentence in her heart.
"Listen... listen... obedient... zizi... obedient... I... obedient..."
A vague muttering came from Lin Xi's ears.
Lin Xi's body was shaken. He raised his head and looked at "No. 1" in shock.
"I...I am obedient..."
Although the tone sounded strange, there was no doubt that the sound came from "No. 1".
"Number one?"
Lin Xi stared at "No. 1" in disbelief.
Under his shocked gaze, "Number One"'s parroting quickly changed from raw to proficient.
"Number one is obedient, number one is obedient, number one is good, number one is smart and obedient."
it kept repeating.
Probably because these were the words that Lin Xi spoke to it the most before, so it began to repeat these incoherent words in front of Lin Xi.
"Oh my god… "
Lin Xi stared at "No. 1".
Although he had previously known that Star Butterfly was an alien insect that could repeat human words like a parrot, when he heard with his own ears the whispers that were exactly the same as human speech coming from the inside of the ferocious mouthparts of "No. 1", There is still no way to describe that kind of shock in words.
"No. 1 is very well-behaved! Very well-behaved!"
Seeing that Lin Xi remained silent for a long time, "No. 1" obviously misunderstood something, and its voice became more urgent.
When anxious, the simulated human voice will accidentally be converted into the unique sizzling sound of insects.
I have to say that, probably because of the filter, Lin Xi felt an inexplicable pity for "Number One" when he looked at it.
It was for him that "No. 1" learned human language, just to stay in this shabby room-like living cabin.
This thought came out of Lin Xi's heart, and he knew he shouldn't - but he did feel a sense of satisfaction from it.
"Yes, you... you are very good."
Lin Xi was stunned for at least ten seconds before he reacted. It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence to respond to "No. 1" (although this was not true at all).
After hearing Lin Xi's words, "No. 1" began to glow with a pink light.
It was literally, pink light.
Lin Xi gaped as she watched "No. 1"'s originally pearly white body slowly turn into a girlish light pink.
To be honest, this color is completely inconsistent with the terrifying body of "No. 1", and it even looks a little ridiculous.
"Pfft..."
The reality is that Lin Xi did laugh out loud at that time.
Lin Xi's laughter gave great encouragement to the alien insect in front of her. The tips of "No. 1"'s wings trembled slightly. It was at this time that Lin Xi discovered that "No. 1" had gradually grown out of its wings. Two parts similar to the tail process.
He stretched out his hand and touched it gently, and "No. 1" immediately retracted its wings tightly behind its back as shyly as if it was ticklish.
"Very well-obedient-"
it shouted.
Lin Xi was startled for a moment and then retracted her hand.
"Okay... do you know any other words?"
Lin Xi couldn't help but ask.
He actually didn't expect "No. 1" to answer him. After all, according to the notes, Star Butterfly could simulate human language, but it was still just a parrot.
But "Number One" once again exceeded his expectations.
"Lin-Lin Xi-"
It whispered affectionately to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was stunned again.
The call of "Lin Xi" suddenly sent an electric shiver down his spine.
When imitating other words, the sound of "No. 1" always seems a bit weird and loud, and the accent is particularly vague and ungentle.
But when he called out Lin Xi's name, the voice was almost exactly the same as that of a real human being. If his eyes weren't looking at "No. 1", he would have thought it was some boring prank. There was a real human being. Human beings are hiding in a certain location pretending that "Number One" is calling him.
Moreover, the gentle tone was vaguely similar to the man in Lin Xi's memory.
Seeing that Lin Xi did not respond immediately, "No. 1" soon began to show off his vocal ability, not to be outdone.
"Lin Xi is so good...Lin Xi is obedient..."
Obviously, in "No. 1"'s perception, these two words contain beauty and joy. It directly connected those two words with Lin Xi's name, and then said words that made people laugh.
It successfully drew back Lin Xi's attention with its own muttering.
"Well, okay... maybe you're right?"
Lin Xi looked at "No. 1" with a wry smile.
The behavior of this alien bug is both surprising and touching.
If the only purpose of starting to learn human speech in an emergency was to spend the night in Lin Xi's room, then No. 1 achieved his purpose after all.
Lin Xi allowed No. 1 to stay in his cabin that night.
Number One looked content. He and Lin Xi shared the small and extremely uncomfortable bed.
"No. 1" is very happy with the outcome of his struggle.
Lin Xi felt very uncomfortable - he doubted that if the scene of him sleeping with "No. 1" was recorded and brought back to Earth, he might be able to edit it into some kind of experimental horror movie for sale.
And whenever he felt that "No. 1" was already asleep, he couldn't help but want to turn his head and look at the insect beside him.
The living cabins in the spaceship are very small, and Lin Xi's bed is naturally extremely narrow.
When he and "No. 1" were lying on the mattress together, "No. 1" had to lay most of his body on Lin Xi's shoulders and arms.
Its wings did not shrink during sleep, but spread slightly.
Lin Xi carefully reached out and touched its wings. The feeling reminded Lin Xi of her ex-girlfriend's expensive ostrich leather bags. There were countless densely packed tiny bumps all over the surface of the cold and smooth wings.
“…”
Suddenly, Lin Xi felt sight.
He turned around and found "Number One" staring directly at him.
It was not a pleasant thing to look at the insect's compound eyes at such a close distance. Lin Xi quickly retracted his hand.
"Lin Xi."
"No. 1" called softly and warmly in his ear.
"Lin Xi."
…
Lin Xi had no sleep all night.
The next day, as agreed between them, "No. 1" returned to the large insect glass tank in the greenhouse. Lin Xi found a way to replace the original sealing measures with a temporary metal mesh.
Then, Lin Xi sneaked out of the greenhouse. After ensuring that "No. 1" could not see or hear his position, he pressed the communicator and found Ernie.
Ernie, who appeared on the communication projection, was even more haggard than the last time Lin Xi saw him. He looked like the kind of vampire that only appeared in ancient movies. His skin looked thin and pale, even through a distance. The camera can also see the branch-like light cyan blood vessels under his skin.
His eyeballs were set in extremely sunken eye sockets. When he spoke, his eyeballs would tremble abnormally—Lin Xi highly suspected that this was the sequelae of excessive fatigue and excessive mental stress.
"Oh, hello... Dr. Lin Xi..."
Ernie seemed a little stiff when he saw Lin Xi, probably because he had also heard about the previous attack.
After a brief hesitation, Ernie added curtly: "…I heard about the accident. Glad to see you're okay, Doctor."
Lin Xi shrugged: "Thank you for your concern..."
He didn't want to continue this annoying topic, so he quickly got straight to the point.
"There's something I want to talk to you about. It's about Star Butterfly."
Lin Xi noticed that after hearing the word "Star Butterfly", Ernie wrinkled his face uncontrollably, showing an expression of disgust.
"Star Butterfly? Is there something wrong with her health? Hmm... But in fact, it is natural for it to have problems. After all, Star Butterfly is almost extinct in Sunu. It is a miracle that we can hatch it. They look very good. It's powerful but its vitality has always been weak, so there will always be problems like this. I have very little information about Star Butterfly, but if you have anything you need to know, please give me a detailed description, and I will sort out the information and send it to you. Go to your personal terminal—"
Lin Xi had no doubt that it was because of his nervousness that Ernie seemed even more chatty than before today.
"No, no, what I need this time is not information." Lin Xi shook his head, interrupted him directly and said.
"I need you to come to the greenhouse. You have to see it with your own eyes. The next thing we need to discuss is related to its subsequent raising and living environment."
Ernie looked very distressed, his eyes darting around.
"Is there something wrong? Actually... I've never been very good at dealing with bugs..."
he stammered.
(This is quite obvious to you) - Lin Xi thought in his heart.
"Then I will wait for you at the door of your office. Then we will go to the greenhouse together, where Star Butterfly is. There are some issues that I think we can only continue talking about if you see it."
Lin Xi pretended that he was not aware of Ernie's resistance. He cut off the communication without giving the poor guy time to find another excuse.
An hour later, Lin Xi indeed waited for Ernie, who was dilly-dallying and looking embarrassed.
He looked like he really wanted to break the appointment, but since Lin Xi was already guarding the door of the office, there was no way he would not do his work anyway—in the end, he could only slowly be kissed by Lin Xi with a grimace. Hope is taken to the greenhouse.
To be honest, looking at Ernie's appearance, Lin Xi couldn't hide his doubts. He really didn't understand why Ernie had such strong resistance.
Considering his profession, this is really inappropriate.
"Oh, there are no problems with other Sunu species. I actually like studying them-" Facing Lin Xi's half-joking and half-serious question, Ernie muttered with his shoulders slumped, "But Star Butterfly... alas, You know, I just can't do anything with that thing, it's just too scary."
Hearing Ernie's words, Lin Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Well, he can understand it to some extent. After all, not everyone can accept huge alien bugs like Star Butterfly.
"Oh, the character of 'No. 1' is actually very docile. I think it has something to do with the fact that the first thing it saw after it was hatched was a human. It is just a little bigger, but once you get used to its appearance, you will I found it to be quite cute.”
Lin Xi said.
"Cute?"
Ernie frowned and looked at Lin Xi in amazement.
He repeated in a murmur, as if Lin Xi really said something incredible.
"This has nothing to do with size and appearance... "
His lips closed for a moment, as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he just squeezed out this sentence dryly.
While talking, Lin Xi and Ernie had arrived at the greenhouse.
Lin Xi pressed his fingerprint on the access control system, and the greenhouse door slowly slid open, revealing the large insect culture tank located in the center of the greenhouse.
"No. 1" was lying contentedly on a thick comb, slowly arranging its wrinkled wings with its hind legs alternately.
After spending a night in Lin Xi's bedroom, the giant alien bug seemed particularly content and happy.
Hearing the movement from the door, "No. 1" slowly raised his head and looked in that direction.
It was no longer the little bug that scurried into the leaves in an attempt to hide itself when it heard any noise. However, when it saw that there was another human behind Lin Xi, it shook its tail slightly. , and then slowly stood up.
"This is the current 'No. 1'. Since it hatched, its growth rate has been—"
Lin Xi was about to introduce some basic data about "No. 1" to Ernie when he heard Ernie's rapid breathing from his side.
"Ernie?"
Lin Xi tilted his head and could see Ernie's bloodless face.
The youngest head of the scientific research office didn't look very elegant now. He stood there, holding Lin Xi's arm hard with one hand, his eyes were straight and his lips were pale.
"For God's sake—for God's sake—"
Lin Xi heard Ernie make a hoarse whisper, and then Ernie staggered a few steps and stepped back.
Ernie looked frightened by "Number One", while Lin Xi was startled by Ernie's appearance.
"Unnie? What happened?"
"I'm sorry, Dr. Linxi... I... I think I might... need to go somewhere else to talk to you about it."
Ernie looked like he had spent his whole life's self-control not to run away on the spot. He looked at Lin Xi's face in pain, his expression distorted.
Although he couldn't understand it, Lin Xi quickly helped him leave the greenhouse. But it wasn't until he was far away from the greenhouse that Ernie seemed to recover a little.
But his face still looked terrible.
"I really admire you..." Ernie said tremblingly to Lin Xi, "I think I may never be able to adapt to this - the star butterfly looks so horrible, oh my God, those markings - ugh -"
Lin Xi looked at Ernie's appearance with a severe headache. The young man looked like he was about to faint.
He even couldn't help but suggest that he go to the medical room to have a look, but Ernie shook his head.
"I don't really like the atmosphere there..."
He winced and then muttered under his breath.
"That place makes my hair stand on end. Sometimes you feel like someone is watching you... but when you turn around, you find that there is nothing behind you."
Lin Xi couldn't help but be startled when he heard Ernie's words. Some scenes of waking up in the medical room flashed through his mind.
But then, Lin Xi heard Ernie continue: "What's more, in almost all space horror novels, the person who dies in the medical room is the worst. In the book "Mars Leeches", the protagonist Lai Omi was disembowelled by leeches in her own stomach in the medical room... "
Lin Xi: "..."
He suddenly felt that his previous nervousness seemed a bit unnecessary.
But no matter what, Lin Xi finally respected Ernie's feelings, and the two of them finally had to return to the biology team's office and tried to discuss the formula there.
When passing by the biological laboratory, Lin Xi glanced at the disaster-like scene there, and could somewhat understand why Ernie was so haggard.
When Lin Xi came here before, the place was just messy, and because warnings sounded from time to time, the air was filled with the tense atmosphere that everything was about to go out of order.
But now, the place is much emptyer than when Lin Xi came before. The special breeding boxes and metal cages placed on the wall are empty, and the ones that survived don't seem to be normal.
And Lin Xi was sure that there was something wrong with the ventilation system here. As soon as he stepped in, Lin Xi frowned slightly because of the damp and stale smell.
A faint rancid smell was caught underneath the musty smell. If they weren't living inside the spaceship now, Lin Xi would have thought that a mouse or bird had died in the intricate pipes above his head.
The test bench was filled with various reagents and medicines, and several young assistants with equally gloomy faces were clumsily dissecting small animals.
"Boss."
When they heard someone entering the laboratory, they weakly raised their heads and said hello to Ernie and Lin Xi.
"…A few more snake-scaled finches died."
One of them said calmly.
It's as if this thing has become commonplace.
"Oh fine."
O'Neill rubbed his temples and then replied. His attitude was also unusually calm, so calm that Lin Xi couldn't help but look at him more.
Lin Xi vaguely remembered that the special Sunu creatures were rare in number and of extremely high research value. Before everything went into chaos, Dr. Ando had taken care of them to the extent that he would do everything possible.
But now, their deaths don't seem to have any impact on the group in the lab.
"Still haven't found the reason?"
Ernie asked.
"Yes, just like the rest of its mates."
the assistant said in a bored, tired voice.
"it's a pity… "
Ernie ended the conversation and took Lin Xi to his office.
Noticing Lin Xi's strange gaze, Ernie pursed his lips and explained in a low voice: "... As you can see, the little guys are all dead now. I don't know if it has something to do with the stranding, but The current environment on the spacecraft is really not suitable for the survival of Sunu creatures. Sometimes they were fine one day, but the next day... they died like that. That damn Sunu disease caused these little guys to die. The internal organs and muscles became slimy and turned into a mess."
Hearing his last words, Lin Xi felt a little nauseous. Ernie caught a glimpse of his expression and grinned.
Sunu disease is actually a general term for some specific diseases - this disease will only occur in Sunu people or animals. After the disease occurs, their internal tissues will melt into a viscous liquid. Many Sunu people escaped madness, escaped the killings of their neighbors and friends, and often died of this strange disease.
What's even worse is that until now, people on earth still know nothing about the pathogenesis of Sunu disease.
"Sometimes I really envy Dr. Ando..." Ernie said to Lin Xi, "He went crazy before everything became so crazy, and then threw all this terrible thing to me. Alas, during this time I I feel like I'm going crazy too. You know, I even had a hallucination a few days ago. I saw a few snake-scale finches growing spider legs and running out of the vents quickly... "
Immediately afterwards, Ernie began to vividly talk to Lin Xi about the various hallucinations he had had before. Lin Xi finally had to interrupt the other party unbearably, and kindly suggested that Ernie read less horror novels.
They found a place to settle down in a corner of Ernie's office.
Ernie was wrapped in an old blanket, holding a calming gel bar in his hand and chewing it. He finally stopped talking nonsense like that.
Lin Xi sighed.
"I'm sorry," he said to Ernie, "I didn't expect your reaction to Star Butterfly to be so big. I just thought... maybe you can help me evaluate the living environment of 'No. 1', and then we can discuss it again." Let’s discuss a follow-up feeding plan.”
"Follow-up feeding plan?"
Ernie's face turned even darker.
He glared at Lin Xi: "You mean, you plan to continue to raise it?"
"Of course." Lin Xi said. "... It has already been hatched. If we don't continue to raise it, what else can we do? It is impossible to freeze it. There are too few living samples of 'Star Butterfly', and we lack the parameters to set the freezing... "
"Maybe we could give it a try?"
What Lin Xi didn't expect was that Ernie would say this to him.
"Honestly, I think the best option is to let it go into cryo-dormant state. You have also seen the situation on my side... Well, I know that bugs are immune to Sunu disease, but who knows what will happen in the future? What happened? If the situation continues to get worse, we may not even be able to get their feed."
Lin Xi's expression changed: "If you freeze without correct parameters, the fatality rate will be—"
Ernie silently took a sip of the calming gel bar, and said in a nonchalant tone: "So what? Anyway, don't you still have several unhatched Star Butterfly eggs? What if your 'Number One' really If something goes wrong, you still have second and third options..." At this point, Ernie paused, and then he suddenly showed a weird smile to Lin Xi, "What's more, we are all going to die anyway, The life and death of these alien bugs are actually not that big of a deal, right?”
Lin Xi looked at Ernie in astonishment. He originally thought that the other party was as rational as himself, but at this moment, he suddenly discovered that under Ernie's chatty disguise, there was a deep and deep secret. Deep despair.
"It's not really that-"
Lin Xi spoke dryly, trying to squeeze out some words of comfort, but the words were quickly interrupted by the piercing siren.
Attention all members, the Helios is about to enter a state of emergency after this announcement. Crew members in non-A-level important positions should immediately stop all tasks at hand, enter the nearest cabin and lock it until the alarm is lifted -
Accompanied by the dull electronic female voice, the lighting facilities throughout the ship changed from bright white light to scarlet with an ominous color.
"what happened?"
Lin Xi stood up strangely. He looked at the flashing signs on his personal terminal in confusion, feeling extremely confused.
It wasn't until the information that Bryce illegally sent to his personal terminal through private channels unfolded that Lin Xi finally realized the horror of the matter.
The violent (or, rather, crazy) Sam woke up.
Sam killed someone... and this crazy murderer is now roaming the cabin.
Dozens of minutes ago—
Medical room.
Sam opened his cloudy eyes in the treatment device.
"Ho ho—"
He let out a hoarse whisper, then looked around him, and then started struggling wildly.
The therapeutic device sensed the patient's struggle and quickly bounced up automatically, and the man immediately rolled and fell out of the device.
He remained in that position and panted for a long time before slowly getting up from the ground.
He felt that his head hurt, his vision was blurry, and his throat was so thirsty that it felt like a fire was burning.
All this discomfort came from the small tumor in his brain, but Sam didn't know this at this time, and he had no time to care about it. .
His mind was still in an extremely chaotic state, and the only thing that was clear was the thirst that made his bones boil.
aroma.
Sam held on to the treatment device and stood there, his body shaking from side to side due to muscle spasms.
The time he woke up can be said to be very unlucky, or rather, very coincidental - Bryce is not in the medical room now, and the person on duty is a young medical technical officer.
After hearing the movement of the therapeutic device, he hurriedly wiped away the saliva left by dozing off, and ran towards Sam sleepily.
This was a very big mistake. If he had been more sober, or had more experience, he would have discovered something strange about Sam.
Unfortunately, he didn't notice Sam's eyes that turned bright red due to congestion, nor did he see the cyan blood vessels under his skin that were bulging like earthworms.
He even failed to hear clearly the extraordinarily vague whisper in Sam's mouth.
"Smells... smells so good..."
Sam muttered.
"Jesus, Mr. Sam, wake up—"
The medical technician had already run to Sam's side. He was surprised. Because of what Sam had done before, the drug pump had been continuously injecting high-concentration tranquilizers into the violent mercenary's body.
Sam shouldn't have woken up in the first place.
But now, he was standing there, his face twisted and saliva flowing from side to side.
The medical technician's voice suddenly stopped and was replaced by a terrified scream.
Sam grabbed him directly, then leaned down and bit open the young man's neck.
Blood instantly poured into Sam's throat, which somewhat moistened his thirsty throat, but...
"No... this is not... this is not that kind of fragrance..."
Sam dropped the motionless body on the ground.
He wiped the blood flowing from his chin, and then muttered irrationally.
Before he passed out, the aroma that filled his nasal cavity completely occupied his mind.
"Lin...Dr. Lin Xi..."
He finally remembered some fragments, and a bloody and greedy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He picked up the medical technician's body and came to the door, and opened the metal door with the poor man's still warm palm prints. Then, he He walked slowly towards the door of the medical room.
The scent still lingers vaguely in the corridor.
Sam didn't know that it was impossible for normal humans to smell the kind of scent he smelled, but this did not affect him from walking in the direction of Lin Xi following the wisps of scent.
During this time he also met several other crew members, and he seemed to kill them... maybe, Sam couldn't remember clearly.
He only knew that he needed to return to that fragrance, and he needed to find the man named Lin Xi...
Ever since the Helios turned on its covenant shield, its fuel began to become tense.
In order to save energy, all lighting and communication facilities have been cut off in many areas not needed for daily use.
The confused Sam just followed his most basic instincts and moved forward—
When he vaguely felt something was wrong, several long tentacles stretched out from the darkness.
Sam stood blankly.
He stared at the darkness in front of him. No, no, that was not darkness.
He saw many round spots squirming in the shadows.
A chill slowly crawled up his spine.
That emotion is called fear, and extreme fear can sometimes even awaken a person's sanity.
At least Sam did... He stared at the spots, slowly waking up a little.
But sometimes, staying in a hazy state will make you happier than being sober.
"I'm very good... I'm very... obedient... Lin Xi... Lin Xi is... mine..."
Sam heard a voice coming from the spots.
Those voices clearly sounded like human whispers, but for some reason, they scared Sam to death.
"No… "
he whispered.
- These are his last words in this world.
…
The author has something to say: The plot of the article has been slightly modified.
A meaningless little theater—
Ernie: You see, you have already called your family attacker "Number 1". If he dies, of course there will still be Number 2 and Number 3...
l No. 1 (suddenly alert)—
Ernie, died from talking too much.
