The Only Player in Infinite Terror
What happened in Chapter 72?
"It's all that son of a bitch Ash's fault! That damned cyborg killed everyone!" Among the survivors of the other ships, a middle-aged man climbed out of his hibernation pod and cursed.
After saying that, he turned to look at the reincarnators, "My God, there are other survivors besides us. How did you all survive?"
Chu Xuan said calmly, "We were lucky. We weren't killed by the aliens directly, but were knocked unconscious and became their hosts for reproduction."
"Even more fortunately, someone woke up early and shot the facehugger eggs, saving the others in time."
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I am Dallas, the captain of this spaceship. If only everyone were as lucky as you."
At this moment, a blonde girl who had just awakened in another hibernation pod said to Ripley with mixed feelings, "You are a clone, a clone of Ripley. The real Ripley is long dead."
Ripley instinctively wanted to refute, but the memories in her brain told her that what the girl said was true.
There was no way she could have survived the landing craft's self-destruction, especially since her body was infected with the embryo of that monster.
Thinking of this, her expression changed drastically. She lifted her white sleep suit and began to examine her chest and abdomen.
Two large white rabbits hopped out, and Cheng Xiao, who was standing next to them, stared wide-eyed.
Wow!
He was drooling and looking like a lecherous man when Mingyanwei, who couldn't stand it, nudged him with her elbow, reminding him to tone it down and be more mindful of his image.
At this moment, Captain Dallas comforted Ripley, saying, "Don't worry, that queen inside you has already been removed."
"Back then, none of us could have imagined that it would be the beginning of our nightmare..."
Next, he recounted in detail everything that had happened on the spaceship.
It turns out that Ripley destroyed his landing craft, taking the alien with him.
Ash, the research officer on the spaceship, sent people to collect the wreckage of the spaceship and Ripley's body fragments.
As a clone planted on the spaceship by the company, his mission is to bring back the Xenomorph, a precious and highly valuable creature for research, to the company.
He used a cloning device secretly carried on the spaceship to clone Ripley again.
Perhaps he was very lucky; on the eighth cloning experiment, the alien embryo he wanted finally appeared inside the clone's body.
Moreover, it was a very special queen embryo.
He imprisoned the Queen in the cargo hold at the bottom of the spaceship and, after she matured, made her lay a large number of alien eggs.
Afterward, this cyborg cloned hundreds of people to serve as hosts for the facehugger.
The cyborg Ash thought he could use the Queen to control the aliens, but things went wrong.
The aliens used their acidic blood to destroy the device imprisoning the queen, freeing her. The queen then took revenge and killed the cyborg Ash.
After the cyborg Ash was killed, the fake surveillance footage he fabricated using his privileges immediately became invalid.
Captain Dallas found Ash's experimental log in the spaceship's systems and learned the whole story.
The crew discovered that the aliens had taken over the entire cargo hold and half of the B deck area.
In order to fight against these monsters, everyone was mobilized and fought against the aliens in the B deck area.
At first, they won again and again, dismissively referring to the aliens as insects.
However, in the end, they fell into the ambush and trap set by the aliens.
The aliens disguised themselves as mindless beasts that would charge headlong into a hail of bullets, thus numbing the human forces.
While humans were wreaking havoc, they completely failed to notice that the acidic blood flowing from the corpses of the dead aliens had corroded through the floor beneath their feet.
And so, the vast majority of the crew fell from the B deck area along with the floor into the alien mother nest at the bottom, where they were easily parasitized by the facehuggers that had been lying in ambush below.
However, some of the crew members who fell into the C deck area were lucky enough to escape to the escape pods and escape the spaceship in escape boats.
The survivors, including Captain Dallas, were able to avoid falling because they were a little further away.
They successfully withdrew to deck A by using automatic sentry machine guns to cover their retreat.
However, no one expected that aliens had already infiltrated the supposedly safe A deck area through the ceiling and ventilation ducts.
In the end, only these seven survivors managed to escape and hide in the hibernation chamber.
They used hibernation pods to enter a state of suspended animation, thereby evading the aliens' search.
"But if that's the case, why am I here?" Ripley asked, puzzled.
The middle-aged man said with a wry smile, "Because that son of a bitch Ash thinks you're special and have more research value."
"So he didn't destroy you, but after removing the queen's embryo, he put you in a hibernation chamber to preserve you."
Ripley's eyes glazed over; she realized she was just an imposter.
Her name is fake, her memories are fake, everything about her is fake...
She even began to wonder if she was a human being or a monster in human skin.
The overlord stepped forward and patted Ripley on the shoulder, comforting her, "There's no need to worry so much. Every extra day we live in this world is a bonus."
"If you don't feel like you're Ripley, you can always choose a different name for yourself."
"Once we escape this monster-infested spaceship, you can be yourself again."
Ripley forced a smile. "You're right. Without a doubt, whoever I am, I'm not done living yet, so the most important thing is for us to figure out how to escape."
Chu Xuan asked, "This spaceship should be able to self-destruct, right?"
Captain Dallas nodded first, then shook his head: "It's possible, but as captain, I have no authority to issue a self-destruct order, because the spaceship is company property."
"If anyone on this ship has the authority to self-destruct, it's definitely that corporate dog Ash."
"But right now, none of us know where that bastard's remains are."
"Besides, if the spaceship really self-destructs, our chances of survival are extremely slim..."
Chu Xuan interrupted him: "But do you really think we can stay in the hibernation pods forever?"
He pointed to the enormous corpse of the inverted alien at the doorway: "Just a short while ago, this monster broke down the door to the hibernation chamber."
"If it gets in, you hibernating people will probably be taken out of your hibernation pods and eaten like food without knowing anything about the outside world."
"In short, my comrades and I would rather die in battle as tough guys than die in our sleep like cowards!"
