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 is he really unaware?
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 clear out 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 spiritual 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 driving area where the engineer is located!”
"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 main 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 who knows that he actually has 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 person to respond to him was Zheng Zha's decisive voice.
"...until death!"
"Yeah, me too." "Count me in." - Zhan Lan and Mou Gang responded one after another. Xia, on the other hand, followed Jiang Yu quietly.
"Brother Jie?" Jiang Yu lowered the ladder to the lowest point in the conversation he was leading. He didn’t even call ‘Zhang Jie’ directly. Instead, use the word Jie Ge to show closeness.
"Partners..." There was bitterness in Zhang Jie's words that he tried hard to hide. But in the end, he still said the voice that everyone, perhaps including himself, wanted to hear.
"I... together with everyone... will stay with you until the end!"
‘Boom——’ There was a trembling sound.
Not an explosion. Instead, the transport truck caught up. During the brief conversation, the Samsaras had already arrived at the break-in area where the engineers abandoned the ship. A huge gap still smoking appeared in the eyes of the reincarnators, and that was the cracked area left by the crashed Ripley rescue ship after it crashed into the lower level.
Two minutes passed. And next, there are still fifty-eight minutes.
……………………
"No! We have no way to go down directly. The path opened by the spacecraft is blocked by collapsed plates, and no matter how we detour, we have to pass through the core driving area and incubation area!"
A bad news. Jiang Yu originally planned to break into Ripley's spaceship and kill the aliens there. There may also be the possibility of giving up side missions without loss rather than having points deducted for failing the side mission. However, Zhan Lan's scan vetoed this. There was no shortcut path at all.
Good news. The dark zone of anti-mental scanning has not expanded again. While the driving area and hatch area remain hidden from prying eyes, at least. There are other relatively safe areas.
"Then take the nearest one! Chu Xuan, you will command the synthetic people to fight!"
If there is no choice, then a decision must be made. Give the most appropriate tasks to the most appropriate people. Then launch an attack into the depths of darkness.
Lights, all on. What came into view was a dark, vast, and exotic interior of the ship. It is different from the internal structure full of geometric lines of human starships. The interior of the engineer's abandoned ship is filled with arcs, circles, spheres, and huge circular passages. There are more or less small doors on both sides of the passage, which look like a dwarf mine underground in a fantasy world.
The synthesizers who lost contact in the early stage fell not far from the front of the passage. There were no obvious external injuries on their bodies, but there was a lot of burnt damage and damage to their internal structures - they were some kind of electromagnetic pulse, a powerful anti-electrical device. Its killing effect may be greater than the one mounted on Thunder Cloud Armor. At least, it's the same.
"We can increase the operating intensity of the anti-jamming armor so that they can operate at maximum efficiency within an hour... The batch of synthesizers before us may not be able to turn it on at the first time due to battery life considerations. Overload mode. That's why they failed." Walter explained quickly, and at the same time, all the white armor on their bodies glowed with a blue light.
As expected, the engineer's abandoned ship is indeed unlikely to have an overly strong defense mechanism - 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 of what happened when the ship lost control and was attacked. The final result is the most lethal self-defense weapon in the ship, a gate that can be lowered at high speed.
However, powerful EMP... Jiang Yu hopes that some killer robots will emerge. Because in that case, it means that the difficulty coefficient of the B-level challenge is divided thinly, so there is the possibility of defeating each one.
"The protection on our bodies basically has anti-EMP effects." Jiang Yu glanced at Mou Gang and her tone became slightly more serious. "But Mou Gang, are you okay there?"
"No problem." Mou Gang held up the laser cannon and nodded slightly. There is also a layer of electrical blue light flashing on his body surface.
Grounded anti-electromagnetic subcutaneous armor. When redeeming the cyber enhancement, Mou Gang specifically redeemed 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.
There is no unfavorable restrictive environment, and there is one less channel to divide the difficulty coefficient. Resourcefulness and calculation were useless at this moment, unless the mothership in orbit could fire directly.
"Our connection with the camp has been interrupted." Chu Xuan suddenly said.
The interference is still operating, but that is not the point of Chu Xuan's words. The alien abandoned ship is too sweet a bait. If you want the mothership to provide more support, just having a bomb under the power furnace is not enough.
"Yeah." Jiang Yu responded.
The shielded black area was already in sight, and the synthetic people consciously walked to the front with weapons in hand. Zhan Lan no longer closed his eyes, but stretched out his hand and lit a ball of eternal flame above his head.
Natural light replaces artificial light. Synthetically people turn a blind eye to this. And when entering the dark realm, a certain alien feeling fills the bodies and minds of the reincarnators.
The crisis has arrived and engulfed everyone's body. And its location is——
"Here!" Zheng Zha's eyes glowed with bloodthirsty red light. And as soon as his ax lit up, he slashed towards a corner next to him in a sudden burst of high-speed charge!
A dark shadow. A huge black shadow.
It was bigger and faster than the one on the Nosmo. And it can even dodge under Zheng Zha's slashing axe!
‘Buzz——’
Gene lock, Sianwistan. From Mou Gang's muzzle, blazing blue light spurted out.
The next moment, the giant object, which was probably close to three and a half meters in height, was hit repeatedly by the laser cannon - it even held up for half a second before being penetrated and destroyed by the light surge that could easily melt the armor of the battleship!
"Seven hundred points!" Mou Gang said hastily in the internal communication.
The next moment, several flares were thrown by the synthesized people. The surrounding area suddenly became bright. And that pale, ancient, twisted alien shape with double rows of teeth appeared in front of the reincarnators!
Not a new alien, but an ancient breed! This is one of the prototypes born of the Engineer inside Prometheus, and it was obviously awakened by some external force!
And... there's more than one!
