Chapter 21 is more difficult! But the rewards are also increased.
"The Alien Queen has mutated, and the main quest has changed! Within 7 days, defeat the Alien Queen. All team members will receive one C-rank side quest and 2000 reward points. Those who participate in the kill will receive two B-rank side quests and 10000 reward points. Mission failure: Annihilation!"
"Defeat one ordinary alien and gain 50 reward points. Clear out all aliens within 7 days, and the entire team will receive one D-rank side quest!"
"The whole team is C-ranked in the side quest!" Zhan Lan clutched her head, letting out a desperate cry, unable to imagine what kind of terrifying enemy she would face with such a generous reward.
Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses: "Is this the punishment mission? Failure to complete it will result in elimination. It's really harsh."
Although the newcomers were unaware of the true value of the team's C-level side quests, they couldn't help but feel nervous when they saw Zhan Lan looking like the sky had fallen.
"What should we do now?"
Wang Lu did have some ideas, but without Zhang Jie's intelligence support, he had no way of judging whether his ideas were correct.
So he looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Let me test you. What should we do in this situation?"
Chu Xuan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "The most urgent matter is still intelligence! We must get into the spaceship's control room!"
"Everyone knows we should go into the control room, but the problem is the door won't open, and we can't break down the wall. How are we supposed to get in?"
Chu Xuan: "The fact that the door can't be opened easily precisely demonstrates its value! Look, there's fingerprint and iris authentication on the door, so we can't get in, but who says there aren't any survivors on the ship? Don't forget the female lead!"
"Ripley!?" Zhan Lan's face immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
"That's right! She's the female lead in the story, how could she die so easily! Finding her will give us access to the spaceship's control room! The walls of the control room are so strong, even the Alien Queen might not be able to break through them!"
Chu Xuan shook his head: "Entering the control room is not for hiding, but to obtain monitoring information and control of the ship's weapons."
Li Shuaixi asked, "What if Ripley is already dead?"
Chu Xuan didn't answer, but instead asked Wang Lu, "Does the spaceship have escape pods or small landing craft?"
Wang Lu nodded: "Exactly 16, located at the stern. Just so you know, it's a full 35 kilometers from here to the escape pods."
Chu Xuan suddenly revealed an expression of overwhelming joy, excitedly saying, "That's right! If you were Ripley, in this situation, which direction would you choose to escape in?"
Zhan Lan suddenly realized: "Escape pods! Ripley will go into the escape pods too!"
"That's right! She's not being forced by the main god's mission, so she'll definitely head towards the escape pod! We need to hurry!"
Wang Lu immediately ordered, "Zheng Zha! You carry Zhang Jie! Everyone, prepare for the 35-kilometer sprint!"
Li Shuaixi's vision went black: "35 kilometers! A sprint?"
"Oh, sorry, I forgot, I have a car."
Wang Lu raised his hand and a Hummer landed with a thud in the spaceship corridor!
Thanks to the God of War greatly expanding the size of the spaceship, the originally crowded corridors can now accommodate half-trailers.
"Get in the car! Overlord, you drive!"
"Alright!! But I think the machine gun on the roof would suit me better?" Overlord grinned and asked tentatively.
Zheng Zha punched him into the driver's seat: "Driver, just stay in the car and drive. What's your reaction time? You think you can operate a machine gun?"
"..."
Faced with Zheng Zha's small fists, Ba Wang dared not be angry or speak out, and obediently gripped the steering wheel.
boom--
The car starts.
Everyone quickly squeezed into the car, and Ba Wang slammed on the gas and sped away!
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss~~~~ Aww!!"
After walking only a few steps, more than a dozen aliens darted out from various corners and rushed towards the car.
Zheng Zha, who was operating the machine gun on the roof of the vehicle, sneered: "You beast! Let me show you what Grandpa Zheng Zha is all about!"
Da da da~~~
Three bursts of fire precisely hit an alien that jumped up and tried to climb onto the car.
Splat~~~
Juice splattered everywhere, and wherever it touched the alien's blood, it hissed and emitted white smoke, leaving huge scars.
Even interstellar spaceships cannot escape the fate of being corroded!
Da da da~~ Da da da~~
The machine gun fired continuously, killing all the attacking aliens, and the group finally felt a little relieved.
In the car, Li Shuaixi seemed quite unconvinced by Chu Xuan's assessment. He asked, "Your analysis just now was all based on the premise that Ripley is still alive, but what if she's dead?"
Everyone turned to look at Chu Xuan, silently asking themselves: "Yes, what if she dies?"
A cold glint flashed in Chu Xuan's glasses as he calmly said, "Even if Ripley dies, we'll still go to the escape pod! We'll find a way to lure the Queen inside and detonate it!"
"Why not try a direct confrontation?" Wang Lu asked.
Chu Xuan: "This is a punishment mission from the main god for our abuse of bugs. Since it's a punishment, why would it have a friendly difficulty curve?"
"Of course, we have no way of knowing what the Supreme God is thinking. More importantly, we lack information about the Queen. Therefore, we have no way of knowing whether the mutated Queen is stronger or weaker than us. So, we can only prepare for the worst and formulate a safe and redundant tactic."
That makes sense.
The group nodded in agreement. This wicked bespectacled man was indeed quite capable; he could sort things out and devise tactics in such a short time.
Suddenly, Chu Xuan's words drew everyone's attention again.
"Have you noticed? The frequency of the alien attacks has decreased. It seems that after realizing that ordinary aliens pose no threat to us, they have voluntarily stopped their probing attacks."
Zhan Lan's eyes lit up: "You mean, the queen who commands them possesses a considerable degree of wisdom?"
Chu Xuan frowned, a rare occurrence for him: "This is quite bad. If the Empress is too intelligent, we might not be able to lure her into the escape pod."
beep beep~~~
It's a 35-kilometer journey, which can be reached quickly by car.
After driving for about twenty kilometers, an ordinary-looking corpse caught Chu Xuan's attention in the car.
"Wait! That looks like Ripley!"
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman whose chest had been ripped open. The surrounding area was covered in blood, and liquid was still flowing.
Li Shuaixi was completely dumbfounded on the spot:
"Dude! This isn't a movie. You can't just assume a woman who looks like the lead actress, can you?"
"How many corpses have we seen along the way?"
Chu Xuan shook his head: "No! Her blood is still fresh! She only died recently!"
呲——
The overlord quickly braked, and everyone got out of the car one by one and came to the female corpse.
At midnight, he stepped forward, touched the blood on the female corpse, and then sniffed it.
"Death occurred less than 30 minutes ago."
"That is, the moment the mission changed. One of the punishments from the Supreme God is to prohibit us from using the control room. It seems my analysis was wrong," Chu Xuan looked at his watch and sighed.
"What do we do now?" Zhan Lan asked worriedly. Ripley's death made her feel even sadder than if her own mother had died.
"Now that things have come to this, there's only one way." Chu Xuan didn't finish his sentence, but Wang Lu, who knew him well, could guess what this guy was up to.
"Splitting up!"
