Chapter 59: Changes, as Expected
Chapter 59 · Changes, as expected
Chu Xuan could have chosen a more radical plan, but he didn't.
He could also choose to divide his troops into three groups on this basis. The six seniors were divided into three teams, with the strongest Zheng Zha and Jiang Yu going straight to Huanglong, while the remaining two teams dealt with the remaining two loopholes at the same time. As long as the two auxiliary attack teams were mobilized in time according to the alien's force distribution. The aliens on the entire "Noshimo" could be cleared at the fastest speed.
But he didn't do this, perhaps because of trust issues. Perhaps because he also had to consider his own safety. If multiple attacks were launched, the result would be that the temporary combat command was destined to be the weakest.
He couldn't, but Jiang Yu could.
The combat plan proposed by Jiang Yu was even more radical - that is, Zheng Zha and Jiang Yu would solve the two problems on both sides respectively. In the middle, Mou Gang and Zhang Jie, who carried heavy firepower, advanced slowly. In the temporary combat command center, Xia and Zhan Lan stayed behind.
Xia must stay, both in terms of trust and actual combat. The seniors must have an experienced person guarding the main control room to ensure that some isolation doors are not closed when they should not be closed, or not raised when they should be raised. A well-formed and disciplined team must have this double insurance, and in the transport barge of Noshimo, Xia's sniping ability does not have much room to play.
No one objected to this, not the newcomers. Not the seniors either. The initiative is still firmly in the hands of the seniors, and Chu Xuan just pushed his glasses silently.
Then, let's go.
………………………………
——Ripley is likely to have a problem.
The route chosen by Jiang Yu is to clear the weak areas of the escape boat. Because most of his attack methods have a wide range of destruction, when fighting, it is easy to affect the flowers and plants in the surrounding area. If he is not careful, the power reactor may be manually detonated by him.
He agreed with this view, so he made a choice. The Thunder Cloud Armor marched forward with heavy steps, and according to Zhan Lan's scanning results, most of the aliens were shrinking towards the nest. Only a few of them were still roaming in other areas of the ship. After losing more than 20 warrior aliens, the queen could only launch one more attack at most.
"Ayu, there are only two aliens on your side. But the camera in that area is broken, so it is difficult to provide accurate positions in time. Please be careful and clear them quickly. When you are finished, we will lower most of the isolation doors. And then, all you need to do is lock all the manual switches of the isolation doors. In this way, even if the system is reset, the doors here cannot be opened automatically."
Xia gave an explanation in the communication channel-the ventilation duct is not omnipotent. The transport barge has its own modular partitions that are completely disconnected from other parts. Just like the ships at sea are basically watertight compartments below the waterline to prevent them from sinking on the spot after hitting a reef. As long as all the isolation doors in an area are lowered, unless the alien carries a ton of acid blood, it will not be able to get through the ventilation duct even if it can drill again.
Jiang Yu said "hmm" and strode forward in the empty corridors and cabins. One isolation door after another was lowered behind him, and the heavy steps with the sound of steel made this place look like the set of a horror movie.
This is indeed the set of a horror movie.
He is a monster, and the two little aliens are poor creatures. If the monster catches the poor creatures, the latter will die miserably.
Where are the poor creatures?
Jiang Yu didn't care much, he just let go of his perception, strode forward and felt the weak vibrations from the air and the ground at the same time. Occasionally he raised his hand and punched, and the unactivated power glove smashed the manual isolation switch and stuck it.
He was thinking about a question-
In the original plot, when Ripley left on the escape ship. An alien had already mixed into her airship. In the end, she opened the valve of the escape ship and used vacuum suction to exile the alien. In the intuitive performance of the movie, the alien even survived in space for a short time until the escape ship's nozzle released the tail flame, which completely annihilated it.
So, will there be an accident this time?
The Lord God will not issue an unfinished task, so if the alien still exists, it must have been burned to death by the nozzle. Or it must have been drained and frozen to death in outer space. However, it is possible that it not only survived, but also killed Ripley. And if it follows this development, how can the reincarnations find the escape ship in the vast space? You know, in the original story, Ripley was discovered, but it had to wait for more than 50 years.
Or... to rely on the power of the Weyland Company, or, is there any hidden clue on this ship?
Thoughts entangled in my mind. Jiang Yu's actions revealed a small flaw because of this. The rear of the armor was exposed to a shadow for too long, which made the poor creature lurking in the dark ready to move.
It quietly leaned out, with its sharp tail taut and raised high. The area of the armor shoulder with an external electromagnetic gun is slightly weaker than other parts due to personal modification. And there is undoubtedly the best breakthrough!
‘Squeak—’ Another alien cooperated perfectly. In another direction, it revealed its whereabouts.
And the next moment—
‘Bang—! ’
The tail hit the air and the headplate hit the metal. Not a power glove, but a cracked and overturned metal desk!
Electromagnetic conversion, electromagnetic operation.
Just like when Jiang Yu raised the war hammer before, when Jiang Yu raised the unactivated power fist. The directional strong magnetic field attracted the remains of a desk beside him!
Poor people should not take the initiative to provoke monsters. The result of provoking monsters is to become minced meat. Just as the other alien was about to flee, a lightning pulse struck its sternum. While the latter's whole body was burnt, he fell to the ground and twitched. The monster had already waved its fist, which was flashing with a cracking force field, and smashed the former's head.
They are all dead.
The body was not left behind, but was stuffed into the dimensional ring by Jiang Yu, which was currently very large. Since this is a weak area, no additional variables should be left.
"Well done, Jiang Yu." Zhan Lan's voice rang over the communication line. She had apparently maintained scanning and investigation of this unmonitored area before. When two aliens are far apart, it is not easy to locate them. However, as long as the distance can be shortened, he and Jiang Yu can even be in the same room. Then their fate is determined by the reincarnations.
"How are the others doing there?" Jiang Yu asked casually.
"Zheng Zha just beat one to death with his fist. It was bleeding internally, its organs were shattered, and there was no external injury at all. Now he is manually blocking all the isolation doors in the power furnace area. As for the other side...well, to be precise It’s said that there are some situations on the other two sides.”
"Um?"
"An alien approached the aircraft area where the newcomers were. It was hit by a booby trap and had its tail blown off, and ran back. The newcomers seemed a little panicked and noisy, but they seem to be fine so far."
"Then Mou Gang... Mou Gang did not encounter any unexpected situations. The aliens adopted a defensive posture and did not seem to plan to launch an attack immediately. The journey went smoothly."
Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows. He noted that this was a private communication.
The queen plans to gather her troops and fight the reincarnations in the lair for the last time - the helpless move of the weaker party is understandable, but not important. What matters is Zhan Lan's tone and words just now. Mou Gang was paired with Zhang Jie, and Zhang Jie was a veteran, and Zhan Lan called him Zhang Jie's brother many times. If Zhan Lan found nothing, then it should be the same this time.
"Have some confidence in your team, Zhan Lan. After all, we have overcome many life-and-death difficulties together." So Jiang Yu answered, delayed a little, and added with a slight emphasis. "Zheng Zha and I both think so, what do you think?"
He paused for a second or two.
"I don't understand what's going on with you men." Zhan Lan's reply contained a bit of relief. Obviously, she understood it completely. "But I suggest you be more cautious. Crisis is often hidden in the calm. Of course, I think you should be very aware of this truth."
"I know." Jiang Yu stuck the last isolation door. Now, except for the road he left. This area is already completely cut off from the outside.
He suddenly stopped.
"Ah... Jiang Yu, can you see a broken camera near you?" The communication switched to the public channel, and Zhan Lan's tone concealed the previous emotional ups and downs.
Jiang Yu's vision was deflected, a lens was torn, and the pipeline was also cracked. The broken camera with electric sparks coming out happened to come into his eyes.
There are signs on the ground. This is the only way to the escape ship. In the communication channel, Zhan Lan was relaying Chu Xuan's request.
"...Mr. Chu Xuan, I hope you can bring back the camera, or the local memory chip in the camera, the hard drive, etc. He thinks there may be some information in it that we can use."
……………………
At the same time, the newcomers were in the aircraft. Almost naturally, the six newcomers were divided into two distinct groups. Three gangsters, briefcase man and male and female white-collar workers. People in different social classes will naturally form different camps independently. But now both parties are holding guns in hand, staring at each other, motionless.
A strange atmosphere hovered inside the aircraft.
"The monster just now... seems to be gone." As if to break the abnormal atmosphere at the moment, the middle-aged man with a gold collar who no longer held the briefcase spoke cautiously.
"That's an alien! You uneducated person... you just left when you said it was gone? It was raised by your family!" Gangster No. 1 shouted loudly without hesitation. There were no curse words in his words, so it was considered a good thing. The embodiment of self-cultivation.
"Don't be angry! Don't be angry... There's no sound outside." The male white-collar worker made a soft voice.
This is not good.
People who come out to be bad guys in this era either have a ruthlessness in their bones, or they bully the weak and fear the strong. Under normal circumstances, the latter is the majority.
"There's no sound outside? Maybe it's hidden somewhere. Unless..." Gangster No. 2 rolled his eyes. His eyes licked the young white-collar woman...and the gun in her hand. "Someone is willing to go out and test it out."
There was silence—his two companions looked at him at first like an idiot. Then he immediately realized something and started making noises loudly. The words were all directed at those office workers and men.
"You should go see it!"
"What are you afraid of? Those monsters in the movie are so slow."
"I don't think you dare. You fool around in the office every day, and you can't even lift your legs!"
There was a commotion.
Until a voice that was destined to be heard.
"You make it sound so easy, then go by yourselves!" The young woman with a low level of sophistication shouted.
"Okay!" However, the gangsters agreed without hesitation.
Then, the topic changed.
"But the brothers took such a big risk, so we can't let you sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor." The gangsters walked over carelessly - not near the door, but near the office workers. "Anyway, it's not dangerous for you to stay inside. These guns are more useful in our hands than in yours!"
The first gangster stretched out his hand, and the remaining two raised their guns threateningly - they had no intention of opening the door to go out, they just wanted to find a reason, an excuse, to snatch the weapons from the office workers!
They should have succeeded - they had done this kind of armed robbery operation nine or ten times. The three people in front of them looked weak and would not resist. As long as the weapons fell into their hands, they would naturally have a way to fool the seniors - they didn't even think that the seniors would be angry about the small conflicts between these "wastes".
What a pity, they chose the wrong place. If this was not a spaceship but an alley, then the office workers might really give in. But here...
The woman screamed, and the man plucked up his courage and pushed forward. No one really dared to shoot here, but they dared to fight each other.
A brawl-the end of the brawl should have been the victory of the gangsters. However, when the middle-aged man was pushed down and subconsciously supported something to stand up, the machine gun that was accidentally triggered and the safety was off broke all the small calculations and tricks.
This is the reincarnation world, the trial field of the Lord God. Whether it is a newcomer or a veteran, whether it is well prepared or not. When the crisis visits the surrounding area, it is destined to face the test.
So.
‘Tututututu——’
The sound of gunfire at the door interrupted everything.
It penetrated two people and broke the switch at the door. The lights in the aircraft suddenly dimmed, and the triple isolation airlock that was originally as solid as a mountain suddenly opened!
The ones who were penetrated were two gangsters. Their waists were broken, and they died in the blink of an eye. Their remaining companions raised their guns in fear and anger. But in the end, they did not dare to pull the trigger in a situation of three to one.
"Kill!" He screamed like a rooster, with a broken throat. And accompanied by the reminder sound of the Lord God, it roared in the middle-aged man's mind.
——【Kill two members of the same team, and deduct 1,000 points from each person. 】
——【If the points are negative at the end of the plot, it will be wiped out. 】
——【The total amount of reward points you have now is... negative 2,000 points! 】
The man's face was pale.
