Chapter 97 ·Below the Stage
Jiang Yu knew what Chu Xuan was doing - as a prophet, of course he knew.
He knew that Chu Xuan was testing whether the Lord God would allow reincarnators to take shortcuts. Try to see if you can pick the sweet fruit with just a sufficiently precise and detailed layout. Test whether wisdom is stronger than strength.
Wisdom is stronger than strength - Chu Xuan wants to know if the wise man exhausts the variables. Then it doesn't matter whether the executor is anyone. If all the loopholes are calculated in advance and then filled. So would an army with orders and prohibitions be more in his interest?
——Chu Xuan did not acknowledge Zheng Zha, at least not yet.
——He does not completely regard himself as a member of the Central-Continent team because of my information. He wanted to know if it was true that the Zhongzhou team would not be able to do it, and Zheng Zha would not be able to do it.
Jiang Yu's thoughts were beating, and he was self-aware of his own intelligence. He knew that if Chu Xuan didn't want him to see its purpose, then there was a high probability that he really wouldn't be able to see it unless there was an absolute information gap. And now that I have seen through it at this moment, I understand the reason why Chu Xuan adjusted this layout so perfectly. That means Chu Xuan also has a corresponding purpose.
This is a test.
Chu Xuan wants to know whether wisdom is stronger than strength. When everything is designed to perfection by him, when facing the challenge of fate, the part that requires courage and determination to survive can be omitted directly. Or, the Lord God will add an unexpected variable to his plan, forcing him to rely on bravery.
If the Lord God gave him a variable, then Jiang Yu, who had foreseen this change, was the means to make up for it. At the same time, whether Jiang Yu can understand this fact at this moment may also be regarded as one of the tests. If you don't even have this ability to think, then the importance will naturally be reduced.
Jiang Yu clenched the war hammer in her hand.
He knows that he is very strong, and he is very strong in the Zhongzhou team at this moment. But most of my current strength comes from the equipment in my hands and body. Even if these weapons were obtained by himself with both hands, he has no evidence to prove that another person wearing the same equipment standing in this place will not have the same effect.
But the opportunity to prove it will come soon.
A strong wind surged in the direction of the stopped power furnace. The telekinesis released by Zhan Lan blew away and wiped away all the smoke and dust along the way.
"The shielding zone has disappeared!" Zhan Lan's voice rang in the communication channel, with surprise in his tone - "Let me see...the aliens seem to be almost dead. I saw Ripley too... She is lying in a survival module, right under the power furnace. Our mission will be completed soon!"
The reincarnators each breathed a sigh of relief. Zhan Lan waved his hand, and Wieland's infantry marched forward, entering the power furnace hall covered by the alien nest. Along with a few scattered gunshots, several aliens that had been maimed and knocked away in the previous battle also screamed and died amidst the gunshots of the soldiers.
Aliens never scream - if they do scream, it only proves that it is necessary.
"Safe!" "Safe!" "It's safe here too!" - the soldiers announced, and there was a sense of relaxation in their voices.
"It's easier than expected..." Zheng Zha muttered and scratched his head. "Is it because we are more prepared this time than last time? Or is it because we are getting stronger faster?"
"It may also be because we have a command expert who is good at resource allocation this time." Jiang Yu said. He waited for a while to ensure that every member of the team was fully equipped. "Of course, the matter is not finished yet. Unexpected changes may occur at any time before everything is settled."
The reincarnators looked at each other and nodded. Falling short of success is not a good script. Before Ripley is sent to a safe mission location, unexpected changes may indeed occur here.
Some people even thought about the changes that might happen - but no matter what, it was necessary to move forward. Soon, the reincarnators arrived under the power furnace. It only took them a few more seconds to remove Ripley from the nest. Then, evacuate as quickly as possible to the place requested by the Lord God.
There is still a long time. It's not even half of the one-hour time limit.
The air suddenly moved.
"Wait... I have a... strange feeling." Zhan Lan suddenly stopped, her eyes sparkling with light. "Wait! This is wrong, something is wrong! I...why didn't I see it?"
The dark alien lair suddenly lost its color, revealing a pale shape from the inside out. The entire lair seemed to have turned into a living creature at this moment... No, it was a living creature! From the center of the pale lair, a white alien individual that was not tall and slightly larger than the reverse species appeared in the sight of the reincarnators!
And accompanied by a sudden burst of spiritual power——
The mother of aliens, the ultimate superior individual in the alien world. It can command all aliens and alien derivatives, and can promote warriors into queens or even empresses at will. And it is written in the setting that it can exercise powerful spiritual power!
"Woo——" Zhan Lan groaned, and all the low-level anti-spiritual power items carried by the reincarnators were burning. From the beginning, the aliens clearly understood the gap in combat power between the two sides. Therefore, all actions are aimed at luring the Samsaras and Wilander's troops to this alien home ground!
The Empress and her minions are decoys, as the Alien Mother is able to shape forces of equal proportions at will. If the power furnace had not been shut down in time, perhaps it would have even been able to forcibly recreate an empress on the spot!
The next moment, all the Wilander soldiers' eyes turned red. Turning the gun towards the members of the Samsara Team——
"Activate permissions and lock all weapons!" Chu Xuan's voice suddenly burst out, and a strange remote control appeared in his hand at some point. The authority key chip was being placed in it, and he asked Wieland's fleet commander for command authority just to put it to use at this time!
‘Crack——’ The weapons in the hands of all the Wilander infantry turned into fire sticks at this moment. And they still pounced on the reincarnations without fear of death, until a golden apple appeared in Chu Xuan's other hand.
"Stop!" Invisible power accompanied Chu Xuan's reprimand. The Golden Apple of Eden, which was supposed to only be effective on humans in the Assassin's Creed world that had been transformed by the Assyrians, was strangely effective on humans in the alien worldview at this moment. All Wilander soldiers stopped functioning under the power of the golden apple, even the mother of aliens that appeared from the lair, and it stopped for a moment!
Jiang Yu and Zheng Zha had already appeared beside the mother of aliens - blood axes and thunder hammers, one on the left and one on the right, beheading the pale individual who suddenly appeared. The ax beheads the head and the hammer breaks the body. In an instant, a thick biological force field was broken through, and the body of the Alien Mother exploded into a ball of acid and blood.
die.
The pale nest turned dark again, and then large-scale calcification occurred throughout the nest. It's like a facehugger dying after completing its mission. The reincarnators remained vigilant until the entire nest collapsed and shattered in tens of seconds.
"As expected." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and spoke in the communication channel. "I'll explain it later. For now, let's—"
A flaw.
A strong warning sign suddenly appeared in the hearts of the reincarnators.
This strong warning sign was accompanied by Zhan Lan's suppressed scream of pain.
"Careful! It's alive! It suppressed me -"
A pistol suddenly appeared in Chu Xuan's hand and replaced the remote control. He pointed back suddenly, and the next moment, the pale form of the Mother of Aliens appeared at the entrance of the passage where the reincarnators were originally!
The Mother of Aliens can shape lower-level individuals at will, but it has never been set that the Mother of Aliens can also shape a substitute. The Mother of Aliens has the ability to suppress and deceive Zhan Lan at the mental level. And it is more cunning than expected.
Group B with 3,500 points shouldn't be so strong. But now, the Samsaras became the cavalry that had to charge towards the barbed wire fence, and it had already arrived at its machine gun position.
‘Bang——’ the projectile fired.
The reincarnators have an irreparable weakness. That is because the reincarnations were too cautious and did not divide their troops. The mother of aliens has the ability to control all alien derivatives, and the category of derivatives naturally includes the bodies of aliens.
Chu Xuan's testing yielded some results.
In the world of reincarnation, wisdom is not stronger than strength. Even if everything is calculated perfectly, the Lord God will still adjust the difficulty, create some surprises, and even simply crudely increase the strength of area monsters. Let the reincarnations have a head-to-head confrontation with their strength to prove their qualifications at the moment of final harvest - unless the reincarnations have proven themselves before that.
so--
The projectile hit the biological force field of the Alien Mother, and the splash of a force field ripple was its only effect.
It was just a precursor - the projectile was followed by a powerful pulse of laser light mixed with telekinetic waves. However, unlike those weaker cousins, the Mother of Aliens has the power to control the biological force field on the body's surface. And at the same time, a solid silicon shield blocked its front.
The reincarnators' counterattacks were ineffective. However, after reacting to the sudden change, it was barely possible to protect the support personnel in the middle and rear areas.
The next moment, the flesh and blood remains of countless dead aliens were dissolved, mixed, and reshaped under the will of the Alien Mother. It turned into a giant mass of flesh and blood with strong acidity. And hundreds of thousands of pale tentacles sprouted out and rushed towards the unavoidable power furnace installation hall where the reincarnators were.
Like a frenzy.
Jiang Yu's shield is waiting for it at the end.
