Chapter 95

The lethal amount of Black Goo had an astonishing erosion speed.

In just a few minutes, Charlie became unlike a human. His entire head was swelling, especially the frontal bone, which had actually grown a tumor, as if something had been stuffed inside.

The skin was stretched almost transparently by that tumor.

Blood vessels and veins were clearly visible, like a thin membrane, and even in that swollen tumor, it seemed that something strange was wriggling slowly!

This scene was simply chilling!

"Ah ah ah ah ah..."

Charlie let out a painful howl, holding that head which was several times larger than a normal person's, like a tumor, staggering and swaying, as if he wanted to walk toward the crowd.

"Save... save me..."

At this moment, Charlie looked very much like a zombie in a movie.

His facial features were all distorted due to the swelling, but the fear in his eyes was clearly visible.

He tried to ask his companions around for help.

However, that terrifying appearance, like a monster after being infected, made even the deeply loving Elizabeth Shaw unable to control herself and retreat several steps, her face full of horror.

"Don't, don't come over!"

The biologist Ford was so scared that in her panic, she moved a large canister of Black Goo and threw it over directly.

Bang!

The black canister shattered, and the liquid inside splashed onto Charlie.

Alvin, who noticed the situation here, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids and secretly said "good guy".

He was afraid that the amount wasn't enough, so he splashed another whole canister. Could it be private revenge?

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Having already ingested a large amount of Black Goo, and now being 'externally applied' with another layer, Charlie immediately let out a shrill scream.

"Quick, run, Shaw!" Ford dragged Elizabeth, who was still in a daze, and ran toward David and the others: "Save, save me!"

Even Weyland, who had seen big scenes, was scared by the sudden situation: "Quick, quick, go!"

"Don't, don't go, don't leave me alone!"

Although under the erosion of Black Goo, Charlie no longer had a human form, he seemed to still retain a thread of thinking.

"Eli... Elizabeth, save me... save me..." Completely driven by the instinct of survival, it urged Charlie to seek help from the only person he trusted.

Looking at the tumor on his forehead swollen like a basketball, and Charlie's pleading posture, Elizabeth's heart was cut like a knife, and a look of unbearable pity was revealed in her eyes.

"No, no, we can't just leave him alone!" The brain originally occupied by fear was instantly filled with love. This female doctor suddenly stopped her steps and said righteously to the crowd: "Charlie still has consciousness. As long as we take him back to the spaceship, there must be a way to save him!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone couldn't help but reveal a look of shock.

Especially Weyland's eyes, as if looking at a fool: "You want to take him back to the spaceship?"

Just looking at the current situation, Charlie was infected with an unknown virus in the alien ruins. Rashly taking him back to the spaceship, the result would most likely be everyone being buried with him!

But, Elizabeth, who had been blinded by love at this moment, was still trying hard to argue: "There is an airlock on the spaceship. We can disinfect him and then use that fully automated medical pod to treat Charlie. He still has consciousness, he must still be saveable, Mr. Weyland!"

However, the sober Weyland decisively refused: "No, he must never board the spaceship!"

"Mr. Weyland!"

Elizabeth was still trying to argue: "We can't abandon Charlie. This is unfair!"

"Fair? You talk to us about fairness?" Weyland was almost laughed at by anger and said coldly: "Holloway acted on his own, insisted on taking off his helmet, and was infected with the unknown virus in the ruins. It was his own doing. Why should we all pay the price for his recklessness?"

Ford on the side whispered: "That's right, we don't need to let all of us have an accident because of Holloway's personal problem, right?"

"But..."

Elizabeth bit her lip tightly and still argued stubbornly: "It's not necessarily the ruins' problem. We all took off our helmets yesterday, didn't we?"

"I don't care, and I don't want to know the reason, Dr. Elizabeth."

Weyland's attitude was very tough. In his seemingly old and declining body, an intimidating momentum erupted, and his cold voice was like a knife: "I absolutely do not allow the Prometheus to have any accidents. As an investor, I must be responsible for the safety of everyone on the ship!"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the unknown virus infected by Charlie Holloway could never survive.

Even if there was a one-in-ten-thousand chance that the fully automated medical pod could save Charlie, Weyland would not allow such a potential hidden danger to appear on the Prometheus!

It was for the Prometheus, and also for the lives of everyone on the ship, that all hidden dangers must be eliminated!

However, in the gap between everyone's arguing.

Charlie had another unexpected change.

His spine seemed to be affected by some internal force, producing a distortion that completely violated biology, and his entire body's bones crackled like firecrackers.

Immediately after, in the swollen transparent tumor on his forehead, it seemed that some soft-bodied creature was struggling frantically outward, as if it wanted to tear off the entire human skin!

Such a thrilling scene blocked Elizabeth's mouth.

Instead, 'Charlie' crawled toward the crowd with extremely strange movements like a crawling creature.

"Kill him, David!"

Weyland ordered sternly.

David on the side pulled out the pulse gun from its waist, but unfortunately, the speed of the mutated 'Charlie' had already exceeded the human limit.

Just one pounce directly slapped David away.

The huge force even shattered the glass of David's helmet, and its chest collapsed.

If it were a normal person, I'm afraid this blow would be fatal.

'Charlie's' next target was Weyland, who had limited mobility.

"Save me, sir, save me!" Weyland screamed in terror, placing all his hope on the 'alien life form' beside him.

Weyland was related to future plans, so Alvin naturally wouldn't let him die, so he pulled out the bolter, and under the auxiliary aiming of the armor, he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A violent fire bloomed from the exaggerated muzzle.

Carrying huge kinetic energy, the bolter easily tore 'Charlie' apart, and amidst the flying flesh and blood, it dragged him and flew backward.

"Elizabeth..."

The severe pain seemed to let 'Charlie' regain a tiny bit of sanity.

But half of his body had already been blasted into meat paste. He could only rely on his upper body to struggle and crawl, using that completely mutated head to cast a pitiful look at Elizabeth.

As expected of the Black Goo that could produce 'Xenomorphs', its vitality was indeed tenacious, almost comparable to the 'mushrooms' next door.

Alvin's second shot had already aimed at the head: "But without a head, it should be able to stop, right?"

"No, Charlie!"

Suddenly, Elizabeth didn't know if she had taken the wrong medicine, but she pounced up and blocked Alvin.

"Can't shoot, Charlie still has consciousness!"

God knows if this female doctor's brain was filled with feces.

At this time, she was still insisting that Charlie could be saved.

"You can't kill him!" Elizabeth glared at Alvin and roared hoarsely: "Charlie is calling me, proving that he still has consciousness. This is murder!"

"Elizabeth... Elizabeth..."

'Charlie', who only had his upper body left, struggled to approach the crowd.

"Okay, since that's the case... I'll fulfill you!"

Alvin was already impatient. Elizabeth's level of stupidity was simply unbelievable.

He directly raised his leg and kicked Elizabeth in the abdomen. The powerful inertia sent her flying, and the landing point happened to be right next to the 'Charlie' she was thinking about:

"Dr. Elizabeth, I respect your choice. Since you insist on saving him... then I can only wish you good luck. I hope you get along well."

Respect personal choices, put down the plot of helping others.

Since Elizabeth insisted on saving Charlie, he naturally had to express respect.

Then, Alvin acted as if nothing had happened, turned his head to look at David: "Did you find the way?"

David's eyes twitched slightly, glanced at Elizabeth who had been kicked away, felt a little regretful, but quickly recovered: "Found it, sir. There is a way to go inside here."

Saying that, it operated the button on the side.

A tightly closed door opened, Alvin stepped in first, and Weyland and the medical staff followed.

David looked at the dazed Ford, frowned: "Dr. Ford, do you want to stay?"

"Ah?"

Ford was a bit dazed: "We... doing this, isn't it a bit not good?"

Hearing this, Alvin, who was walking in front, turned his head and stared at her: "Or, should I send you over too?"

"No need, thank you!"

Ford shivered and hurriedly followed.

Her brain was very normal; she didn't want to pay for other people's mistakes, and she didn't want to accompany Elizabeth to die.

"No! Save me!!!"

At this time, Elizabeth's shrill scream came.

Ford was trembling all over, looked back, and saw 'Charlie' calling Elizabeth, his whole body pressed on Elizabeth, and the creature in the tumor-like swelling actually broke through the skull from inside!

Fishy, viscous substances splashed on Elizabeth's helmet, and the high-strength material helmet glass was actually corroded into a hole by that kind of liquid!

The creature that crawled out of 'Charlie's' skull was some kind of soft-bodied creature, like a slippery gray loach, desperately trying to crawl into Elizabeth's mouth from the gap in the helmet.

"Ah ah ah ah ah..."

Elizabeth screamed and struggled, picked up a stone on the side, and smashed it hard at 'Charlie's' head!

At this moment, what lover? What consciousness? What Charlie?

All were thrown behind her head, leaving only the overflowing desire to survive!

The already fragile head was immediately smashed!

Elizabeth took the opportunity to break free from the control, as if crazy, holding a stone and smashing it at Charlie continuously.

Acting crazy, roaring like crazy: "Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell for me!!!"

Once, twice, ten times...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Until Charlie's head was smashed into mud.

And the strange soft-bodied creature inside also failed to escape the bad luck and was smashed into meat paste by Elizabeth.

But the splashing liquid corroded the spacesuit.

Half of Elizabeth's face was stained with liquid, corroded bloody, looking extremely terrifying!

Looking at Elizabeth, who was like a god of war, David was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Wonderful!"

If I could redeem a leave note, I would definitely ask for leave today. Hemorrhoids are too painful. There should be another chapter later, but the time might be close to twelve o'clock. Please understand, thank you.

By the way, ask for monthly tickets~
