《Terror Infinity Remake》12 Miscalculation
Advertisement
Nobody knew how it happened, but the monsters had finaly caused the lights to turn off, probably touched some circuits while digging through the ship's framework, it was insane how many of these monsters had gotten inside.
The moments the lights were off, the monsters swarmed the room, but the most horrifying thing was that the people in the capsules were suddenly woken from cryosleep.
They were now forced to watch the frosty glass of the capsule, hearing the noises on the other side. The frost on the glass and the lack of light made their situation unbearable, some of them tried their best not to move, it was however pointless.
Those of them with bleeding wounds were the first to experience despair as the monsters broke through the glass and ate them alive one after the other.
Screams of despair and indignation could be heard as people died one by one, those without injuries could only look in horror at the darkness of the frosted glass, praying that they wouldn't be next.
Thany was one of them, she had survive it all because others had protected her, since she was the only pretty woman in the group.
Mike was another, he was simply too smart to do something stupid that would end in his own injury.
Samson was trully unlucky, or maybe he was fortunate as he died even before the monsters came in, his injuries were simply too great and without adequate medical aid, he bled out in the capsule long ago.
Tian woke up and after hearing the first scream he already knew what was going on, he begun to cast his spell in a panic, he didn't care about friends and foes when his own life was in danger.
Tian had many small injuries, but he was sure that it was enough for the monsters to find him, once his body temprature returns to normal, the monsters no doubt would be able to find him.
The moment his spell was cast, the monsters went into a rampage, as the light from the spell caused them excessive pain, while one unlucky one died from the explosion of light as it stood too close to his capsule.
Tian quickly came out of the capsule, he couldn't see, but he could tell where the pilot cabin was, he charged to the locked cabin and begun to knock while shouting for help.
The monsters were slower to regain their senses, but hearing the sounds they begun to recover quicker. When the door opened, Tian was quickly dragged inside and the door sealed once more.
His life was saved or so he thought, since he had no idea that there were still 8 hours left before the end of the objective.
Only five people survived the onslaught of the monsters, two still hiding in their capsules, while the other three locked in the cabin powerlessly waiting for their own end.
Time passed slowly and the people involved felt as if they were tortured by each second passing, it was dreadful experience for everyone.

Thany was trying her best to not make a noise, while Mike was trying not to faint out of fear as they both could hear the monsters patroling the floor and trying to bite through the door to the pilot's cabin.
Chris was roaming in the desert, he could see a faint light in the distance. Honestly he didn't want to go there, but curiosity drew him to the light.
It was the lights from the landing strip of the geological settlement he had left.
Chris didn't know what to do, he looked around and the monsters were avoiding the place like the plague.
Chris crawled in the sand as he reached the landing strip, he could faintly hear the creatures in the distance, it was the place he had landed the spaceship wreckage.
He could only wonder if the others were still alive inside, but he wasn't crazy enough to approach that anthill made of monsters.
He could only imagine what would happen if he ignited the engines, probably a couple hundreds of them would die. He had no way of knowing that the engines were all busted and had become entrances points for the monsters to get inside.
He looked up at the stars above, or he would love to see only stars, as dark silluetes littered the sky like thousands of pesky insect buzzing around.
He didn't know when or how he fell asleep, but when he woke up it was already daytime and the sun was shinning brightly.
Chris stood up and removed the sand from his clothes, hiding under the sand wasn't as comfortable as it might sound.
He stood up and then begun walking towards the wreckage, before noticing the new Objective.
==Objective No 4 - Reach the underground habital in 72 hours==
Chris sighed helplessly as he knew that his suffering was yet to end. Now the crazy system told them to enter those creatures' lair and die down there, it was simply unthinkable. Who in his right mind would go down there, Chris knew that without a powerful source of light this mission had reached a dead end.
Chris approached the Spaceship's door and used a piece of metal he found outside, among the remnants of the blockade to open the door.
It required a lot of strength, but in the end the door opened and the light from outside sipped into the spaceship causing one of the creatures to run away in pain and into the dark holes they had made inside the ship.
Chris of course tried to turn the lights on, but it was useless, the circuits were all busted by the creatures digging through the ship's inwards.
It would have been great if he could shed more light inside, but if he wanted to come inside he would be forced to fight in the darkness.
There were a few rays of light passing through the windows and small holes of the spaceship.
Chris wasn't stupid to step inside, he went to the blockade and looked around for means of light, anything would do, even a lighter.

After some time he got exactly that, a single lighter remained on the ground, probably fell off some person's pockets.
Next He took pieces of cloth and turned them into makeshift torches, unlike his imagination, the torches didn't burn well, probably should have soaked them in oil or something, but he had nothing of the sort.
The torch entered the spaceship and Chris followed, a second torch was held in his other hand. He felt like an idiot when he saw that the room was empty, all the monsters had hidden inside the holes, since there was too much light to their liking in the room.
Chris walked cautiously, afraid of a monster poking its head from the darkness, but he was too cautious, that situation didn't happen.
Chris looked at the Capsules, most of them were crushed by the creatures, but two were still closed, he could see two people sleeping inside, or maybe they fainted due to fear and anxiety.
Chris found his way towards the Pilot cabin, the door was crushed and a few corpses formed a small hill in front of it.
Chris didn't know if it was a good idea to try and move them, non the less he begun moving the corpses to the side.
As he was about to move the last corpse he was knocked back by a powerful kick, if he hadn't been beaten up by Samson and his precious Cell Vitality used on defense, he would probably have died by this one kick.
It would have been hilarious to survive all the monsters in the desert and dying by a misunderstanding.
Tian was also shocked when his kick met soft flesh, instead of the monsters' leathery skin.
"Tian! Stop, that's a human!"
George suddenly shouted and him and Jason stood up from a small corner, long being woken up by the light that shone through the cabin's glass.
Tian looked like he was sleepwalking, he was exhausted, he had been kicking and punching these monsters for hours, he was the only reason the three of them had survived the night.
Chris took his time to get back up, he felt as if his head had just been used like a soccer ball.
"Isn't that Chris, how did he survive in the desert?"
George asked surprised and the other two looked at him dumpfounded. They had struggled in this wreckage all night in order to survive and this person that had walked in the desert just returned mostly unharmed.
With this awkward reunion and the retrieval of the two surviving people from the capsules, they came outside.
They felt fortunate to be alive, only the two capsuled people smelled of piss, probably a side effect from the cold in the capsules or the fear for their own lives. With everyone however not having taken a bath for days, that was the least of their concerns.
"Honestly I don't need your help, I only entered the ship in order to get sources of light for the next objective"
Chris explained, causing the others to be taken aback.
Tian was tired, he simply wanted to rest for at least a day, they had lots of time left, there was no reason to rush things.
Chris however wasn't tired at all, he had slept most of the night and woken up safely in the sand. He had energy to spare, while the others were anguishing over survival he had led a rather relaxed journey in comparison.
Disassembling the lights from the spaceship wasn't difficult, but it took time and effort to do, he would also need a source of energy for them.
George adviced using a power cell, Chris was however appalled by its weight. How many of these did Riddick in the movie had to carry, it was insane.
Non the less he was forced to use a power cell to power the lights. The others were skeptical about his idea, in all honesty they didn't think he would survive even if he did all this, but there were more lights than the ones he had taken, there were also enough power cells for them to use.
They all looked with astonishment as Chris took the makeshift cable of lights and walked towards a large hole in the sand, this was the entrance he would use to go underground.
Chris begun climbing down the huge hole, he thought it would be a piece of cake as long as he could grab onto the walls.
What a naive idiot he was, the moment he entered the hole the first of multiple mishaps happened, the point he held onto broke into sand and dirt and he begun to fall, his body scratched ad wounded by the walls as he fell, the power cell weighting him down as he fell.
The creatures disturbed by the light didn't approach him, as he fell he bumped into multiple creatures flying in the sky, their spiky bodies acted as a cushion as he hit the ground, he had completed the objective, he had reached the underground habitat.
He however only had enough strength to look up into the void as the creatures were making noises flying around, many wanted to eat him alive.
He tried moving, but it was pointless, he had probably damaged his spine during the fall, all he could do was twitch his fingers and blink his eyes, completely helpless.
The pain from all around his body was assaulting his mind, causing every moment to turn into torture.
Chris didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, he only hoped the system would teleport him out of there a moment sooner, hoping there wasn't another objective, otherwise this would be his end. This wasn't the end he wanted for himself, dying from falling into a deep hole, he wanted to die fighting, full of adrenaline and heroism.
