Chapter 67 Space Hulk

Chapter 67 ·Space Hulk

Travel quickly.

The synth camp was only two kilometers away from where the engineers abandoned the ship. Even if there are vehicles, it is at most equivalent to the seniors running forward. However, whether running or riding in a car, it does not affect the terrible question that appears in the minds of seniors.

——Did he do all this?

——Is he pretending, or does he really have no idea?

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will quickly grow and grow into towering trees. Zhang Jie exposed too many flaws. The reason why no one is showing off now is because the enemy is currently there. The second reason is that there is indeed a friendship among the seniors to fight side by side.

"Prequel side mission - this movie must have a prequel. And there must be some kind of omission in the prequel that we don't know about. Maybe it's a monster, maybe it's a group of monsters. And Zhan Lan's scanning of the black area is huge. The probability is the area related to our main target. In short, we must be extremely careful! My suggestion is to remove everything that moves in the ship!"

Jiang Yu no longer cared about leaking the truth - he summarized the information as much as possible, and then used his greatest on-site embellishment to give as detailed an explanation as possible on the public channel. His Thundercloud Armor was still at the forefront. Zheng Zha followed closely behind, acting as a movable bunker to ensure that the abandoned ship would not suddenly launch any long-range attacks.

A meaningless move, if there are really any moving naval guns. Then once fired, whether it is the thunder cloud armor or the biochemical nanosuit, it will only end up being vaporized on the spot. However, this can at least prove that the team is still operating under one will and can fight side by side to the end before everything comes to an end!

Zhang Jie helped Zhan Lan, but the latter did not refuse.

The synthesizers who needed to change their clothes and Cheng Xiao Chuxuan who also needed to change their clothes started the transport truck. The seniors are already less than one kilometer away from their destination!

Move forward, unfold your mental power as you move forward.

Zhan Lan suddenly let out an exclamation, which represented something unexpected.

"The black area is increasing! The core area...I can't see the situation in the core area! In the area where the alien eggs are hidden, I suddenly can't see them! It's still spreading...it covers the dead ones The engineer’s driving area!”

"This proves that our main target is entrenched there!" Jiang Yu said firmly.

"It sounds like we have more than one person to deal with!?" There was a fighting spirit mixed with anger in Zheng Zha's voice. "Or is this isolation section some kind of external force?"

There seemed to be something in his words. But at least it's not targeted at specific individuals yet. However, his anger was uncontrollable, because the seniors all had the experience of facing Group B level.

Without an on-the-spot breakthrough, there will inevitably be casualties. Even the main god may not have time to update the ratings of the seniors. However, Zheng Zha did not know this, and Jiang Yu was not sure whether the Lord God really followed this law.

Jiang Yu wasn't sure - he even thought of the second question from before. Those are facehuggers and alien eggs. Are they considered aliens?

What if it doesn’t count? If not, then the biggest impact of briefcase being parasitized in middle age is that the extra alien larvae in his body delayed the reincarnations? Because the alien larva hatched at a speed far beyond normal. Perhaps, at the moment it was killed, another normally developing alien in Ripley's lifeboat had just taken shape!

And after taking into account the scanning of the black area, it is only now expanding. And before that, Zhan Lan could scan the general outline of the abandoned ship easily and conveniently. So this may mean that the monster in the abandoned ship was not active at all before this. So in other words, if the briefcase man is not infected. The Zhongzhou team successfully cleaned up the Nosmo, and could end the main mission before the alien larvae in Ripley's body took shape. Because during that time, there was no second living alien in the entire universe!

Chain reaction... Maybe Zhang Jie really just wanted to cope with the KPI set by the Lord God, so he just calculated the briefcase man who was unlikely to become an official member of the Zhongzhou Team. However, all causes and effects are under the Lord God's plan, coincidence, fate, and the Lord God's mechanism. All of this is woven together, ultimately leading to today's test.

There is this possibility. Zhang Jie's final surprise was not a false cover-up. However, it is also possible...

--No!

Jiang Yu shook his head vigorously, throwing out of his mind the speculation that subverted all his previous perceptions. He is the only one in the world who knows what Zhang Jie will do in the future, and knows that he actually possesses the fourth level of gene lock and is currently the strongest combat power in all reincarnations. So no matter what Zhang Jie thinks or does, he must firmly believe that Zhang Jie upholds goodwill towards the current Zhongzhou team!

It has to be this way! No way! so--

"I hope it's a group. This way we may have a better chance of winning." Zheng Zha's words were continued by Jiang Yu. He didn't spend much time thinking. And he was there before anyone could reply. "Because group confrontation is good for us."

There was a moment of silence, but he continued.

"We in Umbrella's underground have proven that as long as we work together, we are enough to face a crisis of this scale. And now, we have become stronger. Then, the only thing that may prevent us from winning and surviving is There’s just a tacit understanding between us.”

He took a deep breath and said what Zheng Zha would have said as a classic line in the future.

"So, friends, can we still work together..."

The first to respond to him was Zheng Zha's decisive voice.

"... Until death!"

"Yeah, me too." "Count me in." - Zhan Lan, Mu Gang, responded one after another. Xia followed Jiang Yu quietly.

"Brother Jie?" In the topic he led, Jiang Yu lowered the ladder to the lowest level. He didn't even call "Zhang Jie" directly. Instead, he used the word "Brother Jie" to show his closeness.

"Companions..." Zhang Jie's words were filled with bitterness that he tried hard to hide. But in the end, he still said the voice that everyone, perhaps including himself, wanted to hear.

"I... and everyone... will accompany you to the end!"

'Boom————' A tremor.

It was not an explosion. It was a transport vehicle that caught up. During the brief conversation, the reincarnations had already arrived at the entry area of ​​the engineer's abandoned ship. A huge gap with smoke still coming out appeared in the eyes of the reincarnations, and that was the broken area left after the crashed Ripley lifeboat was knocked open and smashed into the lower level.

Two minutes passed. And then, there are still fifty-eight minutes.

…………………………

“No! We can’t go down directly. The road opened by the spacecraft is blocked by the collapsed plates, and no matter how we take a detour, we have to pass through the core driving area and hatching area!”

Bad news. Jiang Yu originally planned to break into Ripley’s spacecraft directly and kill the aliens there. There may be a possibility of abandoning the side mission without damage instead of letting the side mission fail and deduct points. However, Zhan Lan’s scan denied this, and there was no shortcut to go down.

Good news. The dark area scanned by the anti-psychic force did not expand again. Although the driving area and hatching area are still out of sight, at least. There are other relatively safe areas.

“Then take the nearest one! Chu Xuan, you come to command the synths to fight!”

There is no choice, so a decision must be made. Give the most suitable task to the most suitable person. Then launch an attack into the depths of darkness.

The lights are all turned on. What comes into view is a dark, vast, exotic-style interior of the ship. Different from the internal structure of human starships full of geometric lines. The interior of the engineer's abandoned ship was filled with arcs, circles, spheres, and huge circular passages. There were more or less small doors on both sides of the passage, which looked like a dwarf mine in the underground of a fantasy world.

The synths who lost contact earlier fell not far in front of the passage. There were no obvious external injuries on them, but the internal structure was burnt and damaged a lot - it was some kind of electromagnetic pulse, a powerful anti-electric device. The killing effect it had might be greater than the one mounted on the thundercloud armor. At least, it was the same.

"We can increase the operating strength of the anti-interference armor. Let them operate at the highest efficiency within an hour... The group of synths before us may not have been able to turn on the overload mode in the first time due to endurance considerations. That's why they failed." Walter explained quickly, and at the same time, all the white armor on them glowed with a blue light.

As expected, it is unlikely that there is an overly strong defense mechanism in the engineer's abandoned ship - in Prometheus, the abandoned ship found by the expedition team should be the one under their feet. The expedition team conducted a detailed and comprehensive inspection of it, and even reproduced the video footage of the ship losing control and being attacked. The final result was that the most lethal self-defense weapon on the ship was the gate that was lowered at high speed.

However, a powerful EMP... Jiang Yu hoped that some killer robots would emerge. Because in that case, it means that the difficulty coefficient of the B-level challenge is thinned, and there is a possibility of breaking through one by one.

"Our protection basically has an anti-EMP effect." Jiang Yu glanced at Mu Gang, and his tone was slightly heavier. "But Mu Gang, is there any problem with you?"

"No problem." Mu Gang nodded slightly while holding the laser cannon. There was also a layer of electrical blue light flashing on his body surface.

Grounded anti-electromagnetic subcutaneous armor. When exchanging for cyber enhancement, Mu Gang specially exchanged it. Just like the anti-EMP configuration on other people, the original intention was actually to avoid accidental injury from Jiang Yu's electromagnetic pulse.

Very good.

Without an unfavorable restrictive environment, there is one less channel to thin the difficulty coefficient. All the strategies and calculations were useless at this moment, unless the mothership in orbit could open fire directly.

"We have lost contact with the camp." Chu Xuan suddenly said.

The interference was still in operation, but the point of Chu Xuan's words was not this. The alien abandoned ship was too sweet a bait. If you want the mothership to provide more support, the bomb under the power reactor alone is not enough.

"Yeah." Jiang Yu responded.

The shielding black domain was already in sight, and the synthetics consciously walked to the front with their weapons. Zhan Lan no longer closed his eyes, but stretched out his hand and lit a ball of eternal flame above his head.

Natural light replaced artificial light. The synthetics turned a blind eye to it. When they walked into the black domain, a certain alien feeling filled the bodies and minds of the reincarnations.

The crisis has arrived and adorned everyone's body. And where it is -

"Here!" Zheng Zha's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty red light of perception. And as soon as his axe lit up, he chopped towards a corner next to him in a sudden burst of high-speed charge!

A black shadow. A huge black shadow.

It was bigger and faster than the one on the Noshimo. And it was even able to dodge Zheng Zha's axe!

‘Buzz——’

Gene lock, Sian Westin. A blazing blue light gushed out from the muzzle of Mu Gang’s gun.

The next moment, the giant, which was perhaps nearly three and a half meters tall, was repeatedly hit by the laser cannon—it even held on for half a second before being penetrated and destroyed by the surge of light that was enough to easily melt the battleship’s armor!

“Seven hundred points!” Mu Gang said hastily in the internal communication.

The next moment, several flares were thrown by the synths. The surrounding area was immediately bright. And the pale, old, twisted alien with double rows of teeth appeared in front of the reincarnations!

It was not a new alien, but an ancient species! This was one of the prototypes born from the parasitic engineers in Prometheus, and it was obviously awakened by some external force!

And… there was more than one!
