The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 231 Behind the scenes
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 sentence 'Some people include you but not you? 'After all, she still couldn't say it out loud, 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 15. 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 looking for 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.

This search process was a bit 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 abominable! "

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 sinisterly.

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 and 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 Weitz, 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 and obtain 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. If I can't get the voyage recorder, I won't be able to complete the mission. If I can't complete the mission, I won't be able to return 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 they came to an elevator, Amanda was about to move forward, but West stopped her and said, "Let me do it. These elevators are relatively old. They only need a little skill to use normally, but someone made it a trap." If a trap is not handled well, it will send people not to the underground, but to hell."

In the elevator, West reminded: "As you move forward, you will enter the territory of some garbage people. Keep as silent as possible, and even if you have to say something, try to keep it as low as possible.

Be alert and watch my signs, they have a habit of armed patrols.

Simple gestures, you know? "

Amanda nodded: "I have received full pioneer training."

Pioneers, also called interstellar colonists, need to play a variety of roles, so they will receive more rigorous military training than militiamen, and military sign language is one of them.

Amanda has always been determined to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of the Nostromo, so she not only studied this course seriously, but also increased the class time and difficulty herself, so that she would not lose track even if she was working with real soldiers.

Facts have proved that West is indeed a local bug, and he did meet the patrolman.

One is holding a shotgun, and the other is holding a plasma gun, both of which are rifle series of this era.

In comparison, the little BIU BIU in West's hands is obviously not good enough.

Moreover, they are wearing armor. It's also an exoskeleton, a more close-fitting kind, but it also has a layer of modular armor attached to the outside.

This kind of exoskeleton is far from the heavy power armor of Warhammer 40K Astartes, or the planetary armor (power armor suit) of the Master Chief in the Halo series, but at least the pistol in West's hand , there is nothing you can do about it.

Therefore, West could only avoid it.

However, the parties involved, who were wearing armor and holding big guns, did not have the mentality of being uncles.

"...Nonsense, buddy, we should find a way to get out of this weird place."

Another dissatisfied: "It's easy to say, if there is a way, do you think people don't want to leave?

Here, at least it is safer. We are familiar with every place here, and important locations are monitored.

Leaving here, who knows what lies in the darkness where even the power supply cannot suffice? "

The one who felt that leaving was the best option retorted: "But how long can this kind of security last? Why did we move to this place before? Have you forgotten?"
Those monsters will come for us. What will we do then? "

"What else can I do? Of course, sieve them. Don't talk about this topic during patrol, okay? It makes me nervous."

After the patrollers left, West and Amanda continued to drill into the ventilation duct.

Finally came to a pipeline maintenance room.

As the name suggests, this place exists to facilitate the maintenance of pipelines. Materials are inserted through the entrance and exit above the head, and then maintenance personnel can replace parts in the pipeline.

Therefore, the maintenance room has two entrances, and after the top entrance is locked from the inside, the only entrance is in the ventilation duct, which is very hidden.

When he came here, West packed up the items he needed to bring and said, "Now, there is no distinction between good and bad people here. In order to survive, they will often do anything."

Amanda asked: "Those two people just now, have you dealt with them before?"

"Yeah, xenophobic bastard. I already had a very conscious attitude, but all I got in return was contempt and intensification.

If you are neither humble nor haughty, they will think you are not polite enough.

If you use your power or means to mess with them, they will feel wronged and say that you are overbearing and do not know how to do as the Romans do. "

"Isn't that why we can't get along with each other?"

"Otherwise? Why haven't you ordered such a disgusting, self-centered guy?"

Amanda looked around, and it had to be said that West was also a qualified hamster. He had stocked up on a lot of supplies here and almost ran out of room to set foot.

"Have you been living here before?"

"What else? My butler went on vacation, so it's a little messy here? Don't just stand there, you have to bring what you think you need.

Barring any accident, we will not come back here again. "

Okay, there is something here that Amanda really likes.

For example, it has been nearly ten hours since the start of the operation. Amanda has not rested much, eaten or drank water, and her energy has been consumed a lot.

Here, there are energy drinks and energy bars that can refresh you, and even chewing gum that can stimulate thirst and relieve stress.

West also emphasized that in the next section of the road, there are many places that are dark and without lighting, so it is best to be equipped with lighting equipment and enough batteries.

And 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, the carrying system loaded on the back of the exoskeleton does not feel cumbersome, and the power for lighting is sufficient.

"Be careful not to shine everywhere, the light is too eye-catching in the dark." West reminded.

"Don't worry, I won't turn on the lights the whole time, only when necessary."

The two of them ate and drank a lot, and then used a small basin covered with a plastic bag to clean up the waste. After tidying up, they started their long journey.
