Nonhuman Evolution Guide

Zhang Lin lay back on the back of the sand dune again, watching Ripley's direction from a distance.

He still doesn't know what's going on on Earth, and he didn't join Ripley's camp early, so he can't prove that he got off the Betty, so he'll have to wait and see the attitude of the human army.

Ripley and Kaur, who were behind the small bag, slowly poked their heads out, as if they were a little puzzled by the sudden disappearance of the little follower.

"She said 'it knows someone is coming'." Big Blue Bottle said suddenly beside him.

Zhang Lin frowned.Indeed, Ripley seems to have a vague sense of the alien, as if she, as a human being, can also receive the pheromone of the alien.Of course, this is impossible, it may be some other way, after all, Zhang Lin and the big blue bottle in human form will also have this kind of induction, and it is much stronger than Ripley.

The roar of the motor vehicle was getting closer, and Ripley took half a step forward, slightly blocking in front of Kaur.

Zhang Lin could clearly see the appearance of the motor vehicle from a long distance. It was a bit like the transport vehicle he saw in "Prometheus" before, but it was obviously simplified a lot, and the whole was more rigid and indestructible.But at this time, the entire car body was stained and scratched all over, and there were some scorched marks on the paint, as if it had gone through many fierce battles.A row of huge letters, RT37, can be vaguely seen near the rear of the carriage.

Zhang Lin has seen the transport vehicle of the Prometheus expedition team, with the words RT01 spray-painted on it. It has been 300 years old, and it is obviously a product after more than [-] generations.

Oh no, he remembered that Wieland-Tangu Valley was acquired by Wal-Mart decades ago - so it should only be more than 200 years.However, in the doomsday, the company's products seem to have been dug out again.

The transport vehicle stopped in front of Ripley and Kaur, the hatch at the rear of the compartment opened upwards, and a group of armed soldiers with pulse rifles rushed out, the red lights on the guns flashing one after another.Before Ripley and Kaur could speak, the soldiers surrounded them as if they were facing an enemy, forcing them to raise their hands with guns.

Zhang Lin was also a little dazed about this situation. As for being so nervous—or is it that the earth is in a war at this time?

He carefully looked at these soldiers.

They were all wearing black, gray and khaki camouflage uniforms, which were obviously specially designed for the current environment.Their soldiers don't look very weak, and their weapons and equipment are not poor. It seems that what happened on the earth should not be some kind of natural disaster that is difficult to fight.Coupled with the attitude of this group of people, it is obvious that they are guarding against something.

The leading soldier suddenly pulled out a military dagger and threw it at Ripley's feet. "Cut yourself."

Ripley tilted her head, there was a little danger in her brown eyes, but the corners of her mouth raised up wantonly, "Really, why would I do this?"

"Hurry up," the leading soldier slammed his gun on her body without hesitation, "or you will die."

"Ripley!" Kaur shouted from the side, his face full of anxious worry.

"Tell me why." Ripley was indifferent.

The soldiers suddenly became tense, and everyone was aiming at Ripley, as long as she moved slightly, she would be beaten into a sieve immediately.

"Lieutenant!" Someone shouted to the leading soldier, but his eyes were still fixed on Ripley, "She must be in disguise, don't spend time with her, it's very dangerous."

The lieutenant raised a hand, and Ripley looked at each other, "There is no reason, just to prove that you are human."

Ripley frowned, "Human?"

Obviously, she thought of Kaur.This girl is a robot. Are robots not allowed to enter the earth now?This is a bit unbelievable for humans, unless they have suffered a lot, they will never be willing to give up such a good servant.

Robot uprising?

"I'll take it for now that you're telling the truth." The lieutenant looked at Ripley, and then on their commercial cargo plane Betty, "If you're coming home for the first time, you're welcome—but sorry, most People are dead. A group of invaders came to the earth. They have the same appearance as us, and they don’t even have any difference in touch. No one knows how long they have been lurking. They are all over the human body. Just mess up the whole world—they know where the key is. The only thing they're different from us is the goddamn ability to heal themselves, almost like they won't die."

The colleague they were talking with, the big blue bottle, was also conveying the words to Zhang Lin, and Zhang Lin's expression changed almost immediately.

"So prove yourself," the lieutenant kicked the dagger on the ground, "cut yourself or die."

Kaur next to him immediately became nervous, his black eyes rolled around.She knew that Ripley also had the ability to heal himself, and within three days the incision would heal to the point where there was only one scar. If these people would keep watching, Ripley would still be very dangerous.

Ripley slowly raised the corners of his mouth, bent down to pick up the dagger, and cut a deep gash in his bare arm.

Blood gurgled out and even dripped on the ground, but the wound was still turned outward ferociously, which shocked the rest of the soldiers.

The lieutenant met Ripley's provocative gaze and smiled, "That's true—you've passed." He shifted his gaze to Kaur next to him, and the brunette girl lowered her eyelids and pulled back some clothes, revealing that she was completely dry. The white jelly, and the hole in the middle that was pierced by a bullet, "I'm not human, I'm... a robot."

The soldiers who had already relaxed showed surprise in their eyes again.

"A robot?" The lieutenant walked around Kaul twice, "This is really a surprise...Almost all robots were destroyed in the war-of course you know that protecting humans is the first duty of robots. It is amazing The nostalgic scene, a large group of robots rushed towards the monsters, without knowing the fatigue and fear, replacing the human beings who were in danger. When the war started, thanks to the robots buying time, I can only say, "The lieutenant and the soldiers After looking at each other, someone answered, "——The Great Three Laws."

The soldiers had all put down their guns, and they all burst out laughing.

"We got a great deal," said a soldier. "There are robots here, as if they have extra lives-they rush forward as if they are not afraid of death at critical moments. Of course, how can a machine use the word 'death'?" As for the words, I'm just a metaphor. Hey, I'm really a metaphor. I mean it, and I'll fuck your ass if you keep laughing."

Kaur lowered her head and let the soldiers chat and laugh beside her. Ripley next to her looked unpredictable and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Okay, guys, go to the next location, there is another spaceship—is it yours too?" The lieutenant asked Ripley and Kaur, and raised his chin at them again, "Get in the car."

"No, it's not." Ripley replied, and then handed the dagger to the lieutenant with the handle behind his back, and then backed away a little when the other party was about to take it, "Can I keep it? You know, self-defense."

The lieutenant shrugged, "It looks like I can't refuse this request. Keep it beautiful, let you live on your own, I don't want you to die tomorrow, the base is so boring—" He curled his lips.

With a smile on his face, Ripley walked towards the corpses of mercenaries next to him, cut a bit of cloth from one of them, and slowly wrapped the dagger.Before she stuffed the wrapped dagger into her trouser pocket, Zhang Lin vaguely saw a piece of scorched black on the strip of cloth.

Yes, Ripley's blood would have corroded the dagger, and she certainly wouldn't have given it back to the lieutenant.

The lieutenant had already walked to the side of the car, far away from her, and could only see her squatting down and doing something, so he yelled at her, "By the way, how did your people die?"

Ripley turned his back to him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Killed by a monster."

"That kind of monster that can't be killed?" The lieutenant cursed. "Damn it, you've seen it a long time ago, and you're still pretending not to know."

Ripley didn't answer.

Call looked at her with some concern, and Ripley turned, looked her in the eye, and nodded.

After Ripley and the soldiers got on the transport vehicle RT37 and left, the whole process was broadcast by the big blue bottle. Zhang Lin slowly raised his head from behind the dunes, his face full of disbelief.

The big blue bottle stretched out its hands, stared at it carefully, and said slowly: "I think their description is a bit like... us."

Zhang Lin couldn't help but clenched his fists, let his nails sink into the flesh, and watched those small semicircular wounds heal slowly, leaving only a little bloodstain in the end, proving that they once existed.

The big blue bottle wiped away the dots of blood on his hands, "You are hurting yourself, why?"

"I don't know," Zhang Lin said, "I don't know."

He looked up and found that the blood that Ripley had dripped on the ground had slowly penetrated into the sand.She was lucky, this was a desert, her acidic blood would not react with the sand even if it dripped on the ground, thus attracting the attention of the soldiers.

Zhang Lin's condition is not very good, the news brought by the Earth Lieutenant is too shocking.If this is not a world of aliens, maybe Zhang Lin will consider other possibilities, after all, self-healing ability is one of the most common abilities.But this is the world of aliens, where there is a monster that is exactly like a human being but has extraordinary self-healing ability - Zhang Lin can't think of other possibilities.

The big blue bottle watched Zhang Lin from the side, but never spoke.

Until the breath of the little follower suddenly appeared behind the two of them.

This time it figured it out, there were no disturbing guys around here, only food, and it.

The little follower opened his mouth, and the acidic mucus between the sharp teeth dripped down, soaking the grayish-yellow land.The two men across from it rubbed back in panic, no weapons in their hands.

There was a strange familiarity to it though, like a deja vu smell - but what the hell, it was hungry.

The little follower hissed, and Zhang Lin reached into his backpack, holding tightly to the storage tank inside.

Even if it would waste the original body, he had to do it.

In the next second, the tall figure blocked the orange sunlight, and the edges of the body seemed to glow red.Zhang Lin pulled his hand out of his backpack suddenly, and before he could throw out the can of protoplasm, he was easily grabbed by the wrist.

Zhang Lin didn't know that something like coercion was forcing him to bow his head, and he didn't even dare to look at that person's face.

He had only experienced this feeling in the queen—but it was impossible, there was clearly a human shadow in front of him.The little follower was obediently lying at the man's feet without making a sound.

Zhang Lin trembled uncontrollably, and wanted to curl up to get away from this feeling, but he couldn't, he could hardly control his body.

He felt as if someone was "talking" above his head, using their way, a vague induction.He couldn't tell exactly what those things meant, only that some creatures similar to him were communicating.

Is this the monster that humans are referring to?

Zhang Lin was lifted up suddenly, they touched his spine, slid all the way down here, and stopped at the tailbone for a while.Immediately afterwards, a sharp and short tingling sensation spread from the tailbone to the whole body, Zhang Lin felt his brain go blank for a moment, and then he seemed to hear someone "say": "He is very close."

Zhang Lin hated this feeling, the feeling of being completely controlled, he bit his lip suddenly, and let the tingling sensation that invaded his brain blur his suppressed consciousness.

Then he looked up and saw their faces.

Zhang Lin was almost stunned, and the creature in front of him was also a little surprised, touched his skin lightly, and sent a message - "Help."

Zhang Lin almost guessed what the messages conveyed—they wanted to say that they were helping him.Wieland once said he had to grow that tail because there was a lack of balance, and the creatures, whatever their means, seemed to have established that balance.It even made him surpass the semi-human state when he only had the alien bone tail, and directly possessed almost alien senses.

The creature caressed his skin regretfully—"fragility."

Zhang Lin turned his face sideways to avoid its touch.

The creature stopped, removed its finger, and exchanged glances with its companion.Zhang Lin noticed that they had left him, but then he remembered something, and turned his head to look sideways—the big blue bottle was not by his side.

"Wait..." Zhang Lin panted, "Leave...them."

The big blue bottle followed behind them with a blank expression, as if they didn't know Zhang Lin at all.

The two creatures looked at each other again, and then looked at Zhang Lin—"Accident."

Zhang Lin shook his head vigorously. The feeling of this kind of information getting into his brain is not good, especially when he is a human being, he cannot easily adapt.He understood why this creature took away the big blue bottle, it was not a fully evolved alien, not to mention, he looked too much like them.

Yes, the creature has almost an engineer's face.

Zhang Lin was full of doubts and uncertainties. Maybe Sheldon's previous guesses were all wrong. They were indeed engineers, and engineers were the origin and designers of everything.

But he vaguely felt that this was not the case.In his short communication with them, every time their consciousness invaded his brain, he felt a deep and broad thought flashing away, and he couldn't catch it.

Engineers don't feel that way.

Zhang Lin struggled to stand up, but immediately fell down again, his knees touching the ground brought sharp pain.

Like the big blue bottle, the little followers lost their sense of autonomy and followed behind them like puppets.One of the creatures walked towards Zhang Lin, looking down at him from above.

"Or..." Suddenly, a thought crossed Zhang Lin's mind, and he continued with difficulty, "You can... take me along..."

The creature seemed surprised by the request.

It seemed to think about it, and pointed to the little follower—"It will hurt you."

Zhang Lin gritted his teeth and shook his head, but the creature also shook his head.

Zhang Lin persisted for a while, and the creature gradually showed the intention to leave directly again.

"Wait!" Zhang Lin could only compromise, "Then keep... him."

The creature looked at the big blue bottle that Zhang Lin was pointing at, looked at each other, then lightly touched the big blue bottle, and left with the lifeless little follower like a puppet.

Zhang Lin could feel that their aura was gradually moving away, he gradually relaxed, and a sadness welled up in his heart.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel the feeling of being controlled, at least he kept the big blue bottle.He touched the bald head of the big blue bottle, and the little stubble that grew a long time ago seemed to have appeared half a millimeter again.

It took some time for the big blue bottle to wake up, and then saw Zhang Lin who was about to fall to the ground, drenched in cold sweat.He took a step forward, grabbed Zhang Lin and supported him on the sand dune. "I don't know... I don't seem to remember what happened just now. This is... why?"

Zhang Lin shook his head palely.

He didn't understand what kind of creatures those things were, and he felt as if there was an inexplicable connection between them and him.They could control him as much as the Queen could control him.But they shouldn't be able to control humans.

Zhang Lin didn't quite understand.It stands to reason that when he exists in human form, he will not be affected by the queen, nor will he have the desire to eat people.And this creature was able to control him, and it was almost impossible to resist.

The blood on Zhang Lin's face suddenly faded, and he suddenly understood their relationship with him.

They are likely to be what Wieland said, the people who made him.Engineers or not, they made Man, but they almost certainly made Him.

That's why they paid attention to his situation, helped him gain alien senses in full human form, and even when they found out that his skin was as fragile as a human, they said it was a "sorry".

"Let's go to the humans," Zhang Lin said suddenly, "Humans have fought against them for a long time—at least it seems that way, they have more or less research data."

He looked at the big blue bottle, only to find that the big blue bottle was looking at him, "Who are they?"

Zhang Lin fell silent and shook his head.

Big Blue Bottle touched Zhang Lin's forehead which was still covered with cold sweat, and then touched his own face, "Did they make me forget things?"

Zhang Lin stood up, but did not answer the big blue bottle.He recovered quickly, as weak as a wound, and would heal quickly.

"Let's go down." Zhang Lin said, "to the city."

Or rather, to the ruins.

He took a deep breath, Ripley and a transport truck full of soldiers, the strong human smell seemed to float in his nostrils.

Of course, Big Blue Bottle has no objection to this, most of the time he will not refute Zhang Lin's decision.Many times Zhang Lin thought that he would not obey, but he was still unexpected.

Zhang Lin thought of the "accident" that the creature said, and felt something sinking in his heart.The big blue bottle was indeed an accident, created by him.He could have killed the Servant, or stayed away from the Servant, but he chose the most troublesome one - he turned it into another creature.

Maybe it was just a novelty at first, but all of a sudden he found that he couldn't kill the little bald guy who was biting his finger.

At the same time, he accidentally held a hope.

It turns out he succeeded, and he transformed the Big Blue Bottle into a nondescript creature just like himself.

It was as if he had become his own maker, one like them, but different.At least they're capable of finding him and injecting him with a weird thing that gives him xenosenses to make a living, but he can't even guarantee Big Blue Vial's life.

It was getting dark quickly, and the two of them were hungry, but they hadn't walked into the city yet, so they had to stop to make a small fire to fill their stomachs—and most importantly, to refill the big blue bottle. Protozoa, otherwise it will turn back into a servant of the gods.

The most indispensable thing in the desert here is dead branches. There are dead trees everywhere, shaking pitifully in the night wind, making a rustling sound of rubbing.

Under the reflection of the fire, the skin color of the big blue bottle that is different from humans has become less obvious.He looked up at Zhang Lin who was prying the can, and suddenly asked, "Are they the monsters that humans call?"

Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment. The words of the big blue bottle had no beginning and no end. It took him a long time to realize that he was talking about the creature that almost took the big blue bottle away.

He subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly froze again.

He remembered that the lieutenant said that those monsters looked exactly like humans, almost indistinguishable from each other, and the only way to prove that they were humans was by cutting themselves.

The creatures had the faces of engineers.

Zhang Lin was stunned holding the can, and the next second he rushed up and stepped on the fire.

Things seem to be a little off.

According to the lieutenant, the earth is still very dangerous at this time, and the invaders have human faces, lurking among humans at any time to kill, so they cannot be the same creature.

That is to say, Zhang Lin is not resting easy, the monsters who have invaded the earth may still attack him.

Zhang Lin stuffed the soup-soaked can into the big blue bottle, "Let's make do with it, I'll get the protozoa out."

The big blue bottle Heidan took it blindly.

The protozoa were frozen in icicle-like things, packed into storage tanks in groups of four.Zhang Lin took out one of them and broke it open, letting the viscous liquid flow into the cup—assuming that what he touched was indeed the rim of the cup and not something else, he felt that it should be almost the same.He put the remaining ice cubes back into the storage tank, because he wondered if a few drops left in the wild would spawn a dune empire.

All in all, he felt that he could not endure any more accidents, and it was better to be cautious.

After the big blue bottle was forced to blacken and swallow a box of cans, he stuffed the glass again. "Just can't see the way this thing is flowing in it...I remember it looking disgusting."

Zhang Lin inexplicably felt a pair of eyes looking at him resentfully.

He added, "Actually, it's not particularly disgusting..."

The big blue bottle obediently drank the protozoa. Obviously, it was not broken down and died on the spot.In the movie, the engineer only drank a shallow cup, and was completely torn apart at the molecular level; the male protagonist Dr. Holloway was only mixed with a drop of wine, and the female protagonist Xiao conceived the servant of God; and Wieland only got a little bit of it, and almost died.

Humans plus protozoa equal death, and alien plus protozoa equals evolution. If this is the case, the alien statues in the cargo hold of the engineer spaceship are even more convincing.

"We'd better continue walking towards the city." Zhang Lin glanced in the direction of the city ruins from a distance, he couldn't see anything in the night, but he knew it was there. "Maybe the smell will go away tomorrow."

The blue eyes looked at Zhang Lin in the dark.

"Uh, well, actually, what I mean is," Zhang Lin finally shrugged, "We two don't have to pretend to be human to sleep, what do you think?"

The desert at night is a bit quieter than during the day, except for a few insects with extremely tenacious vitality, very little life can continue to survive.Weapons have destroyed a large amount of vegetation, and the forest has disappeared, leaving only desert and ruins. No animals can adapt to such an environment.

Except humans.

Human beings are always the most vulnerable, but it is still human beings who survive.

It took almost half the night for them to finally come out of the desert gradually.When Zhang Lin finally saw the dead and gloomy houses on the outskirts of the city from a distance along the highway covered by sand, he almost shed tears of emotion.

If it weren't for a man who looked like an engineer standing in front of him.

The most unsettling thing was that beside it, there seemed to be a child—or a boy squatting there, Zhang Lin was inexplicably familiar with his posture.
