Glory of Infinite Reincarnation

Chapter 62: The Change of Situation

No.11 The Situation Changes

Cheng Xiao and Zero Point looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of solemnity in their eyes.Both of them can see what kind of person the other is in their bones, so there is no need to say too much about it.

Two minutes ago, Chu Xuan issued a notification to the monitoring black area here through the broadcast system in the main control room.At that time, Jiang Yu's thundercloud armor was approaching the warehouse lair.Chu Xuan operated the machine at that time, and put down all the safety gates in the entire spaceship division, except for the main road directly connected to the main control room.

It's a bit of a detour, as some places were damaged in previous engagements - but for someone who's been there once, going back the same way isn't too much of a problem.The newcomers only need to follow Chu Xuan's instructions and go through one or two aisles at most, or even wait in place.They could take advantage of the gap when the alien lair was attacked, and wait for the support and guidance of Zero Point and Cheng Xiao a few minutes later.

This shouldn't be an omission - Chu Xuan even asked Zhan Lan to scan the new couple's surroundings after issuing the order.Make sure there are no aliens in that sector and the radio in that area is not broken.And when Zhan Lan devoted all her energy to supporting the main battlefield, the newcomers she was scanning had already raised their feet in the right direction according to the instructions of the broadcast.

Did you miss it?
Cheng Xiao frowned, driven by the vomit in his belly, his nose and ears opened slightly.The sensitivity of smell and hearing has been greatly improved driven by Miaojiang's different skills.But the air didn't have the worst possible sound and smell that he expected.

"There was a fresh smell of blood, but that was the direction the aircraft was in... There was no sound of fleeing footsteps. They should not have been disturbed."

Zero nodded and glanced down. "There are no new footprints here, they haven't passed here... No, the footprints at the intersection over there are a bit abnormal."

Ordinary people can't see footprints on the ground at a glance, let alone footprints a few meters away.However, Zero Point obviously has an observation ability that far exceeds the professional average.He discovered the problem one step ahead of Cheng Xiao.Then the two quickly approached, and found a complex staggered trace of footprints at the intersection not far away.And eventually, the footprints point to another area.

The newcomers have been here before... The newcomers were originally only one intersection away from the meeting place and outside the surveillance black area.But they chose to go to another area.The pace of their departure was not large, and they were not fleeing.They even had a little argument, or conversation, at the intersection.In the end they chose to go in another direction.

What are they doing?
The two did not stop, and quickly moved towards the direction pointed by the footprints.Zero confirmed the route ahead, while Cheng Xiao's nose and ears dilated and trembled back and forth during the march.

"I heard crying...over there! There is still a little bit of fresh blood!" Cheng Xiao found the target.This clue clearly points to a bad possibility.The two of them who failed in the middle of executing the first team commission couldn't help but feel a sinking heart.The speed of running and sprinting couldn't help but speed up a little again.

is a door.

A door blocked from the inside by something.The light behind the door was dim, accompanied by the suppressed sobs of the woman.Cheng Xiao knew from the sound that the woman was not standing near the door.And besides the woman inside the door, there was actually another very weak heartbeat!

"Don't get close to the door!" Cheng Xiao didn't hesitate any longer, he jumped up and approached the door with a gap before midnight.With a clap of his hands, the door that was stuck by something suddenly bounced inward, accompanied by the sound of the cabinet and some soft heavy object rubbing against the ground.

Everything in the room appeared in front of his eyes, and he was taken aback for a moment.Then step in.And the next moment, the panorama of the room also appeared in Zero Eye who turned on the flashlight in the next step.

Four newcomers, two dead.The little bastard clutched his throat, and fell to the diagonally opposite corner of the room with a terrified expression on his face.The white-collar man was crushed under the collapsed metal cabinet, his head was smashed, and a blood-stained trophy that might have been placed on the top of the cabinet rolled down not far away.The man's hands were corroded and twisted, and the jointed limb of a facehugger fell to the ground.The white-collar woman who was still alive was sobbing in another corner of the room.And in the very center of the room, the body of a middle-aged man with a briefcase covered in face-hugging bugs fell beside a wreck whose body was torn apart, but with pipes peeling off instead of blood.

The wreckage is the synth-the eyes and ears of the company, the synth Ash who was killed by the protagonists with a flamethrower in the original work.It is tasked with bringing extraterrestrial life back to the company.According to Chu Xuan's deduction, it was this synthetic man who successfully contacted the company through some means before he died, so there was an advance team's attack.

So, where did the face-hugger come from?Zhan Lan has obviously scanned this area.If there was any facehugger activity, it would obviously have been spotted earlier.

The answer is not complicated, Zero only slightly deflected his line of sight, and saw a dry alien egg.The eggs are housed behind the synth's remains, blocked by another small cabinet.There was a complete blind spot of vision, and Zhan Lan might not be able to spot the immovable thing immediately.In theory, the eggs laid by the queen should not appear so far away from the mother's nest.

Obviously, this is a trap.The aliens noticed that the synths were unusual among the survivors, so they set up an arrangement here.It's just that they didn't expect that the first few advance teams had no interest in Ash's wreckage.But let the newcomer among the reincarnation just hit.

It turned out to be the case.

Cheng Xiao was comforting the white-collar woman beside her, helping her up.And at this moment, everything that happened in this room was presented in Zero Point's deduction and thinking as a professional killer.

It's a chain reaction.

The middle-aged briefcase man found Ash's remains, but was caught by the face-hugger trap—he was hugged in the face, and the young white-collar worker subconsciously tried to tear the face-hugger off him.However, Alien has a very mature way of dealing with this situation.The facehugger's capture was extremely firm, and the male white-collar worker tried his best to pull it, but only tore off a joint.

However, the facehugger was not able to complete his mission.The strength of acid blood in the body is equal to that of a regular Alien.The torn limbs threw out an arc-shaped acid etching line.And this line just cut the little gangster's neck.When the latter suffocated and fell down in the pain of cutting his throat, the white-collar worker who was frightened and retreated subconsciously knocked down the cabinet behind him—his head was broken by a heavy object, and his body was crushed by the cabinet.But his body and the cabinet just happened to block the door behind him.

If all of this is a coincidence, then this is a bit too 'death is coming'.Zero is more willing to believe that the alien made some arrangements in this room when placing the eggs.Increase the possibility of 'accidents' happening.

However, there is still a problem that is difficult to answer...

——Why, these people gave up following Chu Xuan's command and came here?How...how did they know Ash's remains were here?

The cry interrupted Zero's thinking.The female white-collar worker who Cheng Xiao put on a coat finally burst into tears, and then stammered an explanation.

"Brother Jin...Brother Jin said he was engaged in architectural design. Going this way...is the right way. We got here...he, he went to see the corpse...then... woo woo woo ..." Weeping uncontrollably, but the experience is roughly explained clearly.She tightly held on to Cheng Xiao's arm, like a drowning person holding on to a straw.

Doubts solved partly - but not completely.While comforting her, Cheng Xiao exchanged a wink with Ling Dian.The latter immediately understood, stretched out his hand, and touched the face hugger.Unexpectedly, the facehugger, which was supposed to be unraveled until it was about to hatch, had already calcified on a large scale, and fell to the ground with just a slight push.

The briefcase man, motionless.But whether he is awake or not, there must be a reason for appearing here.

Zero's sight shifted, looking at Ash's wreckage.Unlike ordinary urban men and women, he can easily discover some hidden details.For example... Ashna clenched her fist tightly and hid her right hand behind her back.

"Cover me." He said softly, and saw Cheng Xiao still easily raised his gun under the drag of the female white-collar worker.Then, he stretched out his hand and broke Ash's clenched fist in his right hand.

He saw a chip, and... a crisis!
'Boom—! Ash's left hand exploded, but Cheng Xiao pulled the trigger faster than his left hand.The synthetic flesh and the pipeline broke into pieces together, accompanied by the mechanical voice from the torn head of the synthetic human.

"Ji—protect...ji—company property..." The synthetic human's eyes, which lit up slightly, dimmed again.The final stress trigger action also has the ability to harm ordinary citizens.

But Zero Point, who was originally calm, suddenly tightened his eyes!

What is this stuff! ?

....................................

At the same time, another part of the spaceship.Accompanied by a flickering thunder, an alien who was cornered and cornered finally died under the bombardment of the lightning pulse cannon.

The world does not end.

In the thunder cloud mech, Jiang Yu frowned slightly.

"Strange... This should be the last one. Could it be that the face-hugger is also an alien? If so, wouldn't even the eggs of the face-hugger be classified as an alien?"

Unreasonable, even illogical.After Chu Xuan put down the isolation door, the remaining aliens couldn't escape the pursuit of the reincarnation no matter how hard they tried.And now, he couldn't even hear the sound of his companions firing.

But he received a communication from Zhan Lan.

"Zhan Lan? What happened? Did we miss anything?" He asked before Zhan Lan could speak.

then……

"Uh...you guys come back first." On the other end of the communication, Zhan Lan's tone was slightly hesitant. "There were some unexpected deaths and injuries among the newcomers. And... some special circumstances did occur."

"It's not a situation that we handle very well."
