Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 107 Route LV-426
Prometheus, dining room.

Milburn and Vanfield and the two remaining crew members were sitting around a table.

Now there are only two scientists left in the team: Milburn and Vanfield.

As for the crew, apart from the captain and a few security guards who were sacrificed to the Sage's Blade by Jonathan, there were only Chance and Ravel left.

"What should we do? We can't contact the captain now, and Holloway and Dr. Elizabeth have also lost contact." Milburn's voice trembled a little.

"Ms. Vix and Mr. Jonathan are also missing," Ravel added.

(The two of them were playing poker and forgot about the time.)
"What about that cyborg? Does she know anything?" asked Fanfield.

Milburn shook his head and said, "I asked her, but she didn't answer me and just kept charging."

"Shit, I knew these things in human skins are unreliable!" Fanfield cursed.

"No, I'll go ask in person!" Fanfield stood up somewhat unwillingly.

Suddenly, the hatch opened.

Meredith walked in.

"What are you doing?" The queen's aura was instantly fully unleashed.

Meredith looked down upon the crew with a superior look.

Behind her were ten cyborgs, both male and female.

Judging from appearance alone, cyborgs are indistinguishable.

So Vanfield and the others didn't know that these ten people were cyborgs.

"We were looking for you, ma'am," Milburn said to Meredith.

"You just need to follow orders. I hope I won't see you doing something like this next time."

After all, holding a secret meeting without telling the owner of the spaceship could be directly classified as treason.

"I'm sorry, ma'am." Milburn was a little scared, so he just admitted it.

But Fanfield was not such a soft character. He stood up and said, "Madam, we just care about you. Is it necessary to be so ruthless?"

All along, including their previous interactions on Earth, Meredith gave them the impression of being cold-blooded and heartless.

In fact, they have been dissatisfied with this for a long time.

Now that people are disappearing one after another, this emotion has reached a critical breaking point.

Seeing that Vanfield was a little excited, the cyborg standing behind Meredith quickly stood in front and stood between Vanfield and Meredith.

"Believe me, I've been very merciful. If it weren't for me, you might be dead now."

It's not that Meredith was talking nonsense.

After Elizabeth successfully became pregnant, Jonathan originally planned to kill all the crew members at once.

But he was stopped by Meredith.

She said that although cyborgs are useful, their decision-making is sometimes inferior to that of humans, so she hopes that Jonathan can retain a certain proportion of human crew members.

After all, the big troublemakers are basically gone now.

Van Field just had a bit of a temper tantrum, but it wasn't a big deal.

Milburn was a coward and a bit mentally retarded, but of course his intelligence was not a problem, after all, someone who could get a Ph.D. in biology couldn't be that stupid.

The reason why he is mentally retarded is mainly when it comes to making decisions about certain things, such as how to deal with situations when encountering strange creatures.

As for the other crew members, since they are all retired military personnel, they are naturally more obedient.

Although the same goes for the black captain, I don’t know if it’s because he is black, but he is particularly opinionated, so naturally he cannot be kept.

So under Meredith's persuasion, Jonathan finally agreed to keep these people.

However, it was up to Meredith to persuade these people to continue with the Lv-426 mission.

Jonathan didn't have time to do ideological work on these crew members.

Now he was too busy staring at Elizabeth's belly.

Waiting for the trilobite to be born.

"Dead? What does that mean, Ms. Vickers?" Milburn asked.

Others also pricked up their ears.

However, Meredith naturally could not betray Jonathan, so she just avoided answering.

"Now the plan has changed. Come with me to the bridge." After saying that, without waiting for others to continue asking questions, he took the lead and left the restaurant.

The ten cyborgs followed her.

Bridge.

Meredith said to the four people, "These people are the additional crew members. They are all cyborgs."

"So I hope you can cooperate with them and drive the Prometheus."

Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other.

Chance simply raised his hand and asked, "Where's the captain?"

"The captain is dead. This is the only information I can reveal to you."

Meredith said expressionlessly.

"What do you mean? What do you mean dead?" Ravel asked in disbelief.

Among so many people on the ship, he had the best relationship with the black captain.

"Literally, don't discuss this matter any further. It will do you no good. Believe me, I'm doing this for your own good."

Meredith said with a bit of tiredness. The four looked at each other again. Meredith had expressed the same words twice in different ways.

No matter how stupid they were, they at least understood the meaning of it.

"What do you mean by change of plans?"

They were not fools, so they naturally stopped worrying about the black captain, and they no longer cared about the situation of Elizabeth and Holloway.

After all, this place is thirty-four light years away from the solar system.

Coupled with Jonathan’s previous inhumane behavior.

Naturally, several people imagined Jonathan to be an alien.

"We're not going back to Earth. We'll change our route to Planet Lv-426." Meredith told Jonathan about her decision.

Hearing this, Chance walked to the navigation star map nearby and found the location of Lv-426.

Then he took out a pen and paper and wrote and calculated for a while, then frowned and said to Meredith:

"The energy of two nuclear fusion reactors is sufficient, but the supply of survival materials is insufficient."

Chance called up the details of material storage and said after looking at it.

"Emmm, it's not enough to support us on another six-month voyage. If you count the time to get back to Earth."

After hearing what Chance said, Milburn came over and looked through the star map and warehouse data, then asked.

"What do you mean? Isn't this a spaceship that can reach 99% of the speed of light?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Lv-426 and Lv-223, where we are now, are in the same star system, right? It takes six months to travel such a short distance?"

Chance rolled his eyes and cursed angrily.

"It's because we are in the same star system and are affected by the star's gravity. We can't fly at the speed of light. Idiot!"

Meredith said, interrupting the discussion of several people.

"This decision will not change. Please be prepared. As for the supply issue, someone will take care of it."

Meredith did not reveal her attitude to them, but only stated that this was an action that had to be carried out.

After hearing this, several people fell silent. Naturally, they imagined that going to Lv-426 was the alien Jonathan's request.

So I could only nod in agreement silently.

"Since you all agree to join this plan, let's plan the route now. After the storm passes, we will set off directly."

After saying that, Meredith kept the ten cyborgs.

Then he instructed several people, "Remember to take good care of them."

The four of them looked at each other, not knowing where these cyborgs came from.

Dimensional world, experimental center.

Ten hours have passed.

At this time, Elizabeth's belly was bulging and her face was pale.

In the isolation room, several cyborgs were constantly injecting her with operating fluids and saline solution.

On the one hand, it was to provide nutrition for the trilobites, and on the other hand, it was to prevent Elizabeth from dying of dehydration.

After all, this was the first time that black water entered the human body through parasitism, so the trilobite probably didn't calculate well enough to rely on just one human host.

It is impossible to provide so many nutrients for it to grow to such a huge size.

So later, after the official version of the Alien was modified by David, the facehugger parasitized the host.

The newborn aliens that burst out of the body are very small in size. They will devour the host's body after birth to provide nutrients for secondary development.

Instead of sucking food into its stomach like trilobites did.

But this guy is also very strong. In the movie, it was taken out of Elizabeth's stomach before it grew up.

Then it was directly disinfected as a source of infection.

And in this case, it is also too much that it is not dead yet and can successfully grow to the size of a person's height.

While Jonathan was concentrating on observing Elizabeth, Meredith also came over.

In order to facilitate her entry and exit, Jonathan created a door in the corner of her room, and the door has never been closed since it connected to the dimensional world.

So there is no need for Jonathan to open the door for Meredith. Meredith can also enter the dimension world directly from the Prometheus.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Meredith looked at Elizabeth's belly behind the glass, which was even bigger than her own.

Feeling a bit sick.

Jonathan didn't tell her about Prometheus and the Alien.

Just shut up and continued to observe Elizabeth with a smile.

Seeing that Jonathan was still pretending to be mysterious, Meredith rolled her eyes, then folded her hands, stood aside and observed Elizabeth with Jonathan.

Suddenly, Elizabeth's face twitched, and then her body began to struggle frantically.

"Ah!!! It hurts!!! Kill me!!! Kill me!!!!"

It seemed as if she had used up her last bit of strength to shout out these words, and her voice was hoarse.

Meredith was also startled by this scene and took a step back in fear.

"Are you sure it's safe? This experiment?" Meredith asked Jonathan a little scared.

Jonathan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you know the construction standards of this isolation room."
