In 2635, countless spaceships darted across the green planet of Alpha Centauri, with the sky twinkling with various colorful lights.

　　The surface of this planet had long been occupied by the lizard people, and what was once a thriving marketplace had become complex and dangerous. Nevertheless, various aliens still lived and traded here, striving to find their own space to survive. As a human, I understood the harshness of surviving on this planet, but I had never given up hope.

　　“Lila, are you ready?” Alice's voice broke through my thoughts, her gaze steady, her stealth suit shimmering subtly in the dim moonlight.

　　“Ready,” I replied, my heart racing. Tonight, we were to infiltrate the lizard people's laboratory to steal the electronic data on the latest death ray weapon. This mission was fraught with danger, but I knew we had to do it for our future.

　　We donned our stealth suits, special gear that concealed heat signatures, making it impossible for the lizard people to detect us. The night vision feature allowed us to see clearly in the dark. As we stepped out of the house, I took a deep breath, feeling the coolness of the night and the tension that lay ahead.

　　“Stay quiet and stick close to me,” Alice whispered as she led me through the shadowy alley toward the lizard people's lab. The surroundings were eerily silent, broken only by the distant sounds of machinery and the low conversations of the lizard people.

　　We quietly approached the laboratory, spotting the tall building from afar. The metallic exterior glimmered coldly in the moonlight, surrounded by complex surveillance systems and laser security nets. Anxiety tightened in my chest, and my palms began to sweat.

　　“We need to find a suitable entrance,” Alice said softly, scanning the area. She always remained so calm, providing me with an unspoken comfort.

　　“There’s a back door over there, looks like it’s unguarded,” I pointed to a door on the side, relieved to have finally found a viable route.

　　“Good, let’s hurry,” Alice whispered, moving quickly toward the back door. We approached carefully, trying to make as little noise as possible. The surveillance camera at the entrance slowly turned, and I held my breath, fearing discovery.

　　“Wait, I’ll open it,” I said, pulling out my portable device and quickly connecting it to the door lock’s control system. My fingers flew across the screen as I silently prayed for a smooth entry.

　　“Faster, there’s a lizard person coming!” Alice’s voice dropped to almost a whisper, and my heart leapt into my throat.

　　“I know, I’m almost done!” I sped up, finally hearing a click as the lock disengaged.

　　“Get in!” I pushed the door open, and Alice quickly followed, the door closing silently behind us. We found ourselves in a dimly lit corridor, the air thick with a metallic scent that made me uneasy.

　　“We need to find the control room,” I whispered, feeling as if the shadows around us were watching.

　　We cautiously proceeded down the corridor, the low mechanical sounds and the occasional growls of the lizard people echoing in our ears. At the end of the hallway stood a massive glass door, the equipment inside glowing, indicating important experiments in progress.

　　“That’s the control room,” I pointed, filled with a mix of anticipation and tension.

　　“Be careful; there might be surveillance inside,” Alice reminded me, her eyes scanning the area, always alert.

　　“I’ll see if I can connect to their system,” I approached the door, examining the control panel. My fingers glided rapidly over the screen, searching for a way to break in.

　　“Quickly, time is running out,” Alice’s voice was urgent, and the sounds around us heightened my sense of urgency.

　　“I know, I’m trying,” I focused, the screen displaying complex codes and data that seemed to mock my efforts.

　　Suddenly, an alarm blared at the entrance, its shrill sound piercing through the air and tightening my chest. “Alert! Unauthorized intrusion!” the system's voice echoed throughout the lab.

　　“Quick! We have to get in!” I shouted, panic rising within me. Alice shoved the door open, and we rushed inside.

　　The control room was filled with dazzling lights from the equipment, surrounded by high-tech instruments and data screens. My eyes darted across each screen, searching for information on the death ray weapon.

　　“Quick, find the data!” Alice urged beside me, the alarm adding to her anxiety.

　　“I’m looking! There’s too much information here!” I struggled to concentrate, my fingers flying over the keyboard, the data on the screens flashing rapidly.

　　“What if the lizard people come in?” Alice’s voice trembled with unease, and I could feel her tension.

　　“I’ll be quick! As long as I find the data, we can complete the mission!” I replied loudly, secretly pushing myself to move faster.

　　Just then, a message appeared on the screen: “Main control file for the death ray weapon is being encrypted.” My heart sank; I had to decrypt this file before the lizard people arrived.

　　“I need time!” I shouted, my fingers racing over the keyboard, trying to crack the complex encryption.

　　“Hurry, the lizard people are coming!” Alice’s voice grew urgent, and the atmosphere around us felt increasingly tense.

　　I focused entirely, recalling the methods to break through the encryption, and at the last moment, I heard the prompt: “Unlock successful.” Joy surged within me as I quickly downloaded the data onto my device.

　　“Let’s go, we have to leave now!” I grabbed the device and turned to rush toward the exit.

　　“Quick, there are lizard people ahead!” Alice’s voice rang in my ears, and panic surged through me, my heart pounding.

　　We dashed out of the control room, racing down the corridor toward the back door. The hurried footsteps of the lizard people echoed behind us, as if they were chasing us. I could feel my heart racing, as if it would leap out of my chest.

　　“Quick, to the left exit!” I pointed at a door, charging forward without hesitation. Alice followed closely, and we ran in the darkness, trying to make no sound.

　　“Here it is!” I pushed the door open, revealing a dark area behind it. We quickly slipped inside, hiding in the shadows, hearing the lizard people’s footsteps drawing closer.

　　“We need to stay quiet and wait for them to pass,” Alice whispered, gripping my hand tightly, her heart racing.

　　I held my breath, sensing the atmosphere around us shifting; the lizard people’s voices grew nearer, as if they would discover us at any moment.

　　“Quick, lie down!” Alice’s voice was low and urgent, and I immediately dropped to the ground, filled with fear and tension.

　　As we hid, the lizard people passed right by us, their deep growls sending chills down my spine. My heartbeat thundered in my ears, terrified they would find us.

　　“Let’s wait until they’re gone,” Alice quietly advised, her eyes glinting with vigilance.

　　Finally, the lizard people’s voices faded into the distance, and I exhaled in relief, thankful we had escaped this close call.

　　“Quick, let’s keep moving forward,” I whispered, still unsettled by the earlier tension.

　　We continued toward the exit, finally spotting a hidden way out. Hope filled my heart; we were about to escape this dangerous place.

　　“Quick, run outside!” I pushed the door open with force, rushing out into the night breeze, which swept away my tension and fear.

　　“We did it!” I exclaimed, overwhelmed with joy. Alice smiled beside me, her face lighting up.

　　“Quick, let’s go home!” She grabbed my hand, leading me to safety. We ran through the night, filled with hope and anticipation for the future.

　　This night’s adventure taught me that as long as we stand united, we can find our own space to survive on this strange planet. No matter how difficult the future may be, I will face every new challenge alongside Alice.
