Synthesis of Terror: On the One Thousand and One Ways of Death of the Protagonist

At this time, Qin Yue, who was in the ruins of the spaceship, had no idea of ​​the quarrel that broke out on the Prometheus because of herself.

The passage was dark and long, and it seemed that there would never be an end in sight. Qin Yue didn't know how long she had walked, and how long she had been walking. She had stayed in the darkness for too long, and the boundaries of time had blurred.

People always think of strange things in the dark, and they are often tormented by the things they imagined and have a nervous breakdown.

Human beings yearn for light. Most people don't like darkness, and Qin Yue is no exception. What she fears is not the darkness itself, but what may appear in the darkness.

But perhaps it was because this was already an alien planet, or maybe it was because this world was a world of science and technology, she didn't see any monsters and ghosts, which made Qin Yue feel a lot easier.

Compared with the existence of ghosts that completely ignore and violate common sense of science, other things are nothing.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint light appeared in front of her. Qin Yue blinked, thinking that she was hallucinating.

How can there be light in such a dark place?

Rubbing her eyes, she carefully looked in the direction of the bright light. The light was still there, and it wasn't her hallucination.

The direction where the bright light came from was a corner, and from Qin Yue's perspective, she couldn't see what was shining. She hesitated for a while, then walked towards the place where the bright light came out.

The surrounding area was eerily quiet, only the slight sound of Qin Yue's breathing could be heard, she walked to the corner, stared with bated breath, poked her head out quietly, and looked inside.

This is a huge room, the size of a small football field. The room is empty, except for the suspected operating table in the center of the room, there is nothing else.

Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the room carefully.

She didn't see where the light came from. The surroundings of the room were made of unknown metal castings. Those metal surfaces looked uneven, as if something had been carved, but Qin Yue was too far away to see. What exactly is clear.

Should I go back, find another path, or enter this room?Qin Yue hesitated for a moment, then made a decision.

She took out a tube of medicine for trauma from the medical box behind her and threw it into the room.

The transparent test tube drew an arc in the air, fell into the room, and made a crisp ding sound. The test tube rolled forward a few meters before barely stopping.

Qin Yue waited for a few minutes, but nothing happened. She took a deep breath and walked in.

Picking up the potion and putting it back into the backpack, Qin Yue looked around carefully.

The ground under her feet was covered with a thin layer of dust, and every step Qin Yue took would leave a shallow footprint. She walked around the wall and found an opening on the front right that only allowed one person to pass through. Qin Yue glanced inside the gap, it was so dark that he couldn't see what was inside.

Qin Yue withdrew her gaze and didn't continue to look at her.

Apart from the gap leading to nowhere, there is no other exit from this room.Qin Yue leaned in front of the wall and carefully looked at those protrusions. When she got closer, Qin Yue found that those uneven lines seemed to form strange shapes. what is it.

Qin Yue gave up trying to find out what those patterns were. Neither she nor Ford were good at researching these things. Even if she saw through her head, she still couldn't see what those patterns were.

Nothing could be seen on the wall, so Qin Yue turned to study the suspected console in the center of the room.

There was no trace of dust on the operating table. Qin Yue checked it with the instrument she was carrying, and found nothing wrong—or maybe her instrument couldn't find it.

The operating table is densely covered with countless buttons, each of which is no more than the size of a fingernail, with words Qin Yue can't recognize written on it.

Qin Yue, a human from the past world, does not know how to operate such high-tech things, and neither does Ford, a person living in this era.

She looked at the densely packed buttons helplessly, she really didn't know how these things were operated.

If you think about it, those so-called engineers should not have put anything dangerous in the control room, otherwise, if someone accidentally presses the wrong button, it will be a lot of fun.

Qin Yue's heart skipped a beat, she randomly selected a few buttons and clicked them.

The light in the room dimmed, and the patterns on the wall lit up in an instant, and those patterns intertwined into a strange picture, which was so beautiful that it was shocking.

Qin Yue stared blankly at the patterns on the wall, and blinked uncertainly. At this moment, she realized that this room turned out to be a room similar to a sphere. If she read correctly, those patterns were connected together to form a The pattern seems to be the shape of the earth.

The appearance of a model of the earth in this place that is unknown how far away from the earth, the meaning behind this is horrifying to think about.

Qin Yue was a little flustered, her hand touched the button on the side, the light around the pattern dimmed, and slowly disappeared, and the room returned to the appearance she saw just now.

There was a slight shaking sound above her head, Qin Yue raised her head, and saw the metal walls of the roof slowly opening to the surroundings, fine dust fell down, Qin Yue took a step back to avoid the falling dust, a cylinder The shaped thing fell down with the dust and hit the ground with a bang.

Qin Yue's eyes fell on the fallen object, she was stunned for a moment, then walked over quickly and picked it up.

This is a fluorescent stick that has lost its light. Qin Yue turned the fluorescent stick over and saw the logo on the base. She finally confirmed that this fluorescent stick was the one that Elizabeth threw into the bottomless pit. The one in the hole.

So the bottom of the pothole is this room?

Qin Yue wondered, how big is this spaceship, and what are those engineers studying here?

Afraid that something would fall from this black hole again, Qin Yue closed the metal plate above her head, she always felt a little uneasy, everything here was indescribably weird, she always felt that there was something dormant in the darkness , peeping at her.

Qin Yue didn't study those buttons any more, she sat on the floor and went through the whole process of entering the spaceship ruins.

She suddenly remembered what she saw on the door of the room above, and the creatures on the murals in the room, and a strange idea suddenly appeared in Qin Yue's mind.

Assuming engineers created humans, wouldn't they also create another species here?

Could that species be the object of her mission this time, Alien?

Qin Yue always felt that something was neglected by her. She rubbed the center of her brows, and a picture flashed in her mind: when they left, David seemed to put something into the backpack...

Qin Yue's eyes widened, and she was taken aback by her guess. David is a bionic man, so he should not harm humans...

Qin Yue felt her heart was in a mess and her mind was in a mess. Looking up at the high roof, she felt as if she was in a huge fog and couldn't find any way out.

***

The storm raged outside the spaceship, with no sign of stopping.

Elizabeth was sitting in the room, walking around restlessly. Thinking of the missing Qin Yue, she felt extremely uneasy. Even if she had confirmed that the DNA of the engineer was the same as that of a human, it still couldn't make her happy.

"Charlie, do you think something happened to Ford?"

Elizabeth looked at her lover sitting on the bed and asked worriedly.

Charlie got up, took Elizabeth into his arms, and comforted him softly: "Ellie, don't worry, there is no danger in that ruin, and I will accompany you to find her when the storm stops."

Charlie also finds it strange that Elizabeth cares so much about Ford. Elizabeth is a cold person, and it is reasonable to say that she would not care so much about Ford. God knows, before she boarded the Prometheus, she and Ford did not know each other at all. .

When did their relationship become so good?

"Instead of worrying about other people, you might as well care about me." Charlie put his lips on Elizabeth's ear and whispered softly: "Ellie, how long have we not been together?"

Elizabeth felt the change in Charlie, a blush appeared on her face, she turned her head slightly, and kissed her lover.

The house was full of spring, and not far outside, David stood at the corner, looking at the closed door, with a strange light flashing across his face.

The storm raged for three full days, and in the early morning of the fourth day, it finally stopped.

Elizabeth couldn't wait to go to the ruins, one was to find another engineer's body, and the other was to find Qin Yue who had lost contact.

Charlie naturally accompanied Elizabeth, and David didn't know why he followed them into the ruins.

***

Qin Yue rested in that room for a long time. She didn't know if the storm had stopped, so she didn't dare to stay any longer. The group of people on the spaceship were not sure if they would come to her, and she was unwilling to entrust her life completely on someone else.

Qin Yue has long understood the ugliness of human nature. Between huge interests and an insignificant human life, that useless human life is obviously the one that will be abandoned.

The light of the flashlight shined through the tiny gap, and Qin Yue found that it was the same way as when she came, and it was also a passage. Without the slightest hesitation, she got out of the gap that only allowed one person to pass through.

From the light to the darkness, Qin Yue was not used to it, she blinked her eyes, the light of the flashlight illuminated the way forward, Qin Yue continued to walk forward.

After turning a few corners, Qin Yue came to a huge room. This room was more than ten times larger than the one she stayed in before. The surroundings were filled with densely packed small jars, layered on top of each other, and the end could hardly be seen at a glance. .

What made Qin Yue's scalp tingle even more was that there were countless corpses piled up not far from the small jar.

The light of the flashlight skipped over the pile of corpses, and Qin Yue could clearly see the faces of those corpses in just a glance.

These corpses were not the kind of engineers they had seen before. They were smaller. If Qin Yue could describe them, these corpses were more like human beings.

The reason why Qin Yue used a word like is because it is impossible for human beings to have green or red skin.

The appearance of these corpses is extremely similar to that of humans, the difference is the color of their skin, which is completely different from that of humans.

wrong!

Qin Yue's face turned pale. Rather than saying that these corpses look like humans, it is better to say that both humans and these corpses are like those engineers!The difference is that they are all miniature versions!

This discovery made Qin Yue feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her hands trembled unconsciously, and the light of the flashlight also trembled with the trembling of her hands.

Qin Yue, who was in a daze, didn't notice that a pitch-black bug emerged out of the soil under her feet at some point, and crawled towards her meanderingly.

The bug approached Qin Yue, and was about to pounce on her just now, but stopped abruptly within a finger of her body, its slender body swayed a few times, and thin tentacles stretched out. Dancing in the air.

After a while, the worm seemed to have decided on something, and instead of continuing to crawl towards Qin Yue, it shrank back and buried itself in the soil again.

Qin Yue seemed to be aware of it, and looked down at her feet. Except for the pitch-black soil, she saw nothing else.

Qin Yue got up and continued to walk forward. After walking for about ten minutes, Qin Yue saw another pile of corpses.

They were wearing the same protective clothing as the engineer, and they looked like they were hiding from something.

Qin Yue looked at the pile of corpses carefully, and found that their corpses all exploded from the inside without exception, as if an explosion had occurred inside the body.

With so many corpses stacked together, it seemed like a brutal massacre.

"My God! What is this thing!"

Qin Yue suddenly heard a slightly familiar voice coming from not far away, her eyes lit up, she didn't care to look at the corpses of those engineers on the ground, and ran towards the direction of the voice.

She recognized the voice as the biologist Mirban. He seemed to have found something, and his voice was a little excited.

"Mirban, don't touch it!"

Another voice came, it was Feifield who had had a big fight with Elizabeth and left.

It was great to meet familiar people in this weird spaceship ruins, Qin Yue was a little excited, and quickened her pace to run in that direction.

Turning a corner, Qin Yue saw the two people, and at the same time, she also saw the scene of the white creature attacking them.

Qin Yue's eyes widened suddenly, her body's reaction was faster than her consciousness, she took out the laser gun pinned to her thigh with her backhand, and shot towards the creature.

The laser gun hit the thing, and a burnt smell filled the air.

Mirban and Feifield were already taken aback by this scene, they mechanically turned their heads and looked at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue's whole body was tense, as if she hadn't recovered yet.

When did a medical staff in Ford become so powerful?

Such a small target, such a long distance, she actually hit it!This was obviously the first time in Ford's memory that he shot a gun!What is going on with this skillful, almost instinctive movement?

The situation at this time did not allow Qin Yue to think too much. More white creatures of that kind came from all directions, rushing towards Fefelt and Mirban.

Qin Yue's complexion changed drastically, and she roared at the two people who were still in a daze: "Why are you in a daze! Run quickly!!!!"

As soon as he said that, he turned around and ran away.

Those two people were also shocked by Qin Yue's voice, and they ran behind Qin Yue as hard as they could.

The communicators of the two of them are still intact, and they can continue to communicate with the people on the spaceship. The people on the spaceship told them that there are more and more living creatures not far behind them, and they are getting closer and closer. Let them run for their lives.

If the situation didn't allow it, both Fifield and Mirban would have cursed, didn't they see that they were running for their lives now! ! !

In the pictures sent back from the camera, the people on the spaceship saw Qin Yue who was running in the front. They were just about to remind Qin Yue that she was running in the wrong direction, but they found that Feifield and Mirban ran to the same place as Qin Yue. Went on a different path.

Those creatures that came out of nowhere did not hesitate, chasing Fifield and Mirban frantically, none of them chased Qin Yue.

Such a scene was naturally noticed by the people on the spaceship, but they couldn't figure out why these obviously extremely aggressive creatures didn't chase Qin Yue, but instead chased Feifield and Mirban.

Qin Yue ran around, and found that she had run back to the hall full of corpses just now, her face changed several times, and she turned her head to greet the two little friends she just met, but found that they had disappeared .

what's going on? !

Qin Yue was a little dazed, did she run away?

It was not easy to meet two little friends, but they got separated again. This kind of cheating made Qin Yue's mood extremely bad.

Qin Yue thought for a while, and planned to look for those two people. She vaguely remembered that there was a fork in the road just now. If she got separated, she would go from the wrong place.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Yue ran in the direction just now. When she reached the fork in the road, Qin Yue turned in to the other side. She didn't run very far. Qin Yue heard a creepy scream from not far away. came.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
