Infinite Reincarnation: Survival Begins from Ishimura

#2 - Chapter 2 Death Cycle

This time

Mu Xing seemed more careful.

Although he didn't know what had attacked him before, judging from the lethality, the other party had the ability to kill with one blow.

He carefully crossed the passage and lay in front of the door to observe outside.

Before, his sight was all attracted by the magnificent and shocking universe outside the floor-to-ceiling porthole in the corridor, and he didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation at all.

When he came to his senses, he noticed that there was an empty room about 30 meters long and 20 meters wide outside the door.

It looked like a locker room for welcoming new members into the spacecraft.

The lights in the locker room were all off, and only the scarlet safety lights at the exit were rotating and flashing.

A metal wardrobe and a rest bench that were as tall as a person could be vaguely seen.

In addition to the door under his feet, there was only one passage through the alloy door 30 meters away.

The whirring sound of the exhaust fan in the passage behind him affected his perception and judgment.

The locker room was extremely dark, and visibility was very low, especially what was hidden in those corners, he couldn't see at all.

Gurgle...

Just then

He heard a strange sound.

The sound came from a corner of the locker room.

He immediately shifted his sight and saw something moving in the dim corner.

That thing was not humanoid, twisting and squirming in a strange posture to stand up.

Mu Xing saw two antenna-like things standing up on the shadow.

Tap, tap, tap...

Irregular and staggering footsteps sounded.

Mu Xing realized the danger and did not dare to stay any longer. He took a step and ran towards the end of the locker room corridor.

I don't know if the footsteps stimulated the thing in the dark.

That thing accelerated rapidly and rushed towards him.

When Mu Xing was about three meters away from the gate, the red light turned green.

But the light was on, but the door did not open.

Mu Xing turned back suddenly and saw a terrifying face with half of the face missing.

Puff...

He only felt a pain in his chest, and finally saw what the "antenna" was.

Two bony arms had been transformed, standing high, and a one-meter-long blade-like bone spur grew on the palm.

On the monster's torn belly, the scarlet intestines transformed into palm-like tentacles.

The bone spurs of the transformed arms pierced his chest.

Then the monster roared, and its arms alternated wildly from left to right, constantly piercing his chest.

This thing is extremely powerful, and no ordinary person can contend with it.

Puff...

The sharp bone spur pierced through Mu Xing's eye socket and penetrated through the back of his head.

In Mu Xing's last consciousness, the heavy alloy door behind him finally opened with a hiss.

...

"Huh..."

In the darkness,

the trembling body sat up suddenly, with both hands covering his chest and breathing violently.

One hand pressed on his left eye, as if the continuous pain was still stimulating his brain and nerves.

The whirring sound of the fan continued.

The scarlet light kept rotating.

I'm back again, no, I should say I died again.

I died twice in a row, and it wasn't a dream. The pain brought by death made Mu Xing suffer a strong shock both mentally and physically.

At this time, he curled up in the passage, trembling with fear.

No, I can't leave here, I will die if I go out.

He finally realized that he was just an ordinary person. Facing death again and again, the fear and pain that penetrated into his bones made him not want to experience it for the third time.

"Welcome, CEC equipment maintenance engineer Mu Xing, number 4425, to the Ishimura planetary cracking ship..."

The illusory virtual projection appeared again.

Just as the projection disappeared, the green light on the door at the end of the corridor lit up.

"No, you can't open the door."

Mu Xing pounced over, trying to stop the door from closing.

But this door has no door handle and no control interface. It is completely automatically controlled by the system.

It opens automatically when his identity is confirmed, and it is completely independent of Mu Xing's will.

Tsk...

The door opens again.

Mu Xing did not rush out again, but retreated step by step.

He no longer felt how charming the magnificent scenery outside the porthole in the corridor was.

The monster in the locker room outside the door could pounce on him at any time.

At the end of the passage behind him was the hatch of the spacecraft, but at this time it was as if welded and could not be moved.

He tried to find a way to open the hatch behind him.

Tap tap tap...

Heavy footsteps sounded.

The sound first spread in the locker room outside the door, and soon, the black shadow noticed Mu Xing in front of the hatch of the passage.

That thing was like a hyena that smelled blood, accelerating rapidly.

The speed was so fast that Mu Xing crossed the nearly 20-meter passage in just a blink of an eye.

The sharp bone spur stabbed at him swiftly.

This time Mu Xing was well prepared, and quickly bent down to avoid the attack.

However, before he could be happy, he felt a sharp pain in his arm.

In the splash of blood, his right arm was directly cut off by the sharp bone spur.

Then

the monster twisted in a completely unreasonable posture, piercing Mu Xing's throat from bottom to top, and the bone spur pierced from the throat and penetrated the top of the head.

One hit to kill.

…

Waking up for the fourth time

Mu Xing sat in the passage in a somewhat decadent manner.

He seemed to realize that even if he stayed in the passage, he would be discovered by the monster.

The monster's strength, speed, and reaction ability far exceeded those of ordinary humans.

Want to escape? It's impossible.

Counterattack? Fight back with your own bare hands and use your head?

"Welcome, CEC equipment maintenance engineer Mu Xing, number 4425, to the Ishimura planetary cracker..."

The annoying virtual projection reappeared.

Mu Xing was angry and pounced on it, trying to extinguish the projection.

However, the projection was just a projection, and he pounced on it and fell heavily on the alloy floor.

When the projection disappeared, the green light on the door came on.

"Damn it, don't open it!"

He roared at the door and finally broke down.

He was not a superman, nor did he have the calmness of a movie hero who could remain rational after experiencing death again and again.

He was just an ordinary person, a social animal.

Every day when he went to get off work and got off work, he would slack off and gossip. The happiest thing every day was to find his own small home in the corner of the steel jungle after get off work.

Turn on the computer, drink a glass of iced happy water, and play his favorite game for two hours.

That's all, that's all he wanted.

But now he had to face unknown dangers and experience death again and again.

Why is all this happening? Who can tell him?

"Don't open the door!"

He roared.

However, the door was still opened mercilessly, leaving him no mercy.

"Come on, monster, come and kill me if you can!"

The black shadow rushed into the passage.

Puff...

The bone spurs penetrated his flesh and pierced his abdomen.

The stress pain of the last death had not completely dissipated, and the new pain had already hit.
