The Flower-Flower Fruit User of Infinite Terror

"The armory is in room 49, which is on the same floor as room 43, which leads downstairs. The medical ward is on our current floor, and the engineering department is on the floor below."

We need to first go to the medical bay to find medical supplies, then go downstairs to the engineering department to find the mining remote-controlled robot, and then lower the isolation door on the armory floor to find interstellar-era sci-fi weapons inside.

Chu Xuan looked at the group and spoke.

"Why didn't you just lower the isolation door on that floor during the operation? That would have been safer," Zheng Zha said, looking at Chu Xuan.

Shen Jun shook his head. "No, the isolation wall itself cannot permanently isolate the aliens. The medical pod and the engineering department are far from the armory floor. If we leave the isolation door on the armory floor when we depart, the aliens may tear themselves apart and burn through the isolation door with corrosive liquid."

"Yes, in that case, the aliens might sense something is wrong before we even get there, and they could burn through the isolation door and rush over."

"Let's go to the medical ward and the engineering department to find resources first. Leave one person in the control room to operate. Finally, when the team arrives at the armory, the person in the control room can lower the isolation door for that floor."

Chu Xuan said, "So we have to be quick."

"Um, I have a question I'd like to ask," Zhan Lan said after a moment's hesitation.

"Go ahead," Chu Xuan nodded.

Zhan Lan frowned and asked, "Could those aliens use some passages in the ceiling to sneak around and attack us?"

Chu Xuan nodded. "This has already been confirmed, but even if we stay here and don't go out, the other side will find us. So, we need to decide who will stay behind to operate the isolation door."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent and lowered their heads.

If Zhan Lan hadn't mentioned that the aliens would attack from the ceiling, some people might have dared to stay alone in the control room.

But since Zhan Lan brought this up, the others were a little hesitant to stay.

After all, the "splitting up" rule, one of the major death laws in horror movies, is no joke.

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and said, "Then I'll do it. But I need someone to stay in the control room with me to take care of Shen Jun."

Chu Xuan excels at planning, analysis, and multi-threaded information processing. Even in the most critical moments, he can remain calm and make the most reasonable arrangements.

He needs a bodyguard, the kind who will never back down, no matter what.

"Wells".

Shen Jun looked at Wells Jack.

Wells nodded and said, "Understood, I will stay and protect Chu Xuan."

"So how do we contact each other?" Shen Jun asked, looking at Chu Xuan.

"The engineering department has communication tools; I'll tell you the alien's location from the control room."

"Let's split into teams then. Wells and I are in Team C, responsible for staying in the control room to monitor the overall situation and direct the operation."

"Team B, led by Zheng Zha, includes team member Mou Gang and Mou Gang's bodyguard. You are responsible for going downstairs to the engineering department to check the reactor's condition, obtain engineering tools, and communication equipment."

"Team A is led by Shen Jun, with members Ba Wang, Zhan Lan, Zhang Jie, Li Xiaoyi, and Ling Dian. You can follow Team B downstairs, get the communicator, and head to the armory immediately."

"After searching the engineering department, Team B will go back upstairs to the medical bay to look for medical supplies."

Chu Xuan looked at the group and gave them instructions.

"Uh, go downstairs to the engineering department first, then come to the medical bay? Also, why do we need to check the reactor's condition?" Zheng Zha looked at Chu Xuan with a puzzled expression.

Chu Xuan frowned at this "curious child." "Let's go to the farther one first, and then we can stop at the closer medical bay on the way back to save time. The reactor's condition is crucial to our survival. Any other questions?"

"That's all..."

Zheng Zha gave an awkward laugh.

Chu Xuan looked at Shen Jun and the others, "Then let's set off. The armory is close to the edge of the alien nest, and we are very likely to encounter alien patrol teams. Shen Jun, you all need to be extra careful."

"Let's go."

After saying that, Shen Jun opened the door to the control room and walked out.

Overlord, holding a light machine gun, walked out together with Zero, who was holding a sniper rifle.

Zhang Jie, Li Xiaoyi, Zhan Lan, and others followed closely behind.

Zheng Zha, along with Mu Gang and others, also came out.

The isolation wall not far away slowly rose, and the group walked down the stairs.

The safety barrier inside the spacecraft can only be reopened after being closed for half an hour.

Given that aliens can launch surprise attacks at any time, they don't think taking the elevator is a wise choice.

If an alien were hiding in an elevator shaft and suddenly attacked, they would be wiped out.

Following the stairs, Shen Jun and Zheng Zha led the team downstairs and ran towards the engineering department, which Chu Xuan had indicated.

The corridor was empty, and sometimes bloodstains could be seen on the ground.

Zhan Lan and the others either stayed close to Shen Jun or Zheng Zha, feeling that every place was extremely dangerous.

"We've arrived. Quickly search for the communicator."

Shen Jun arrived at the entrance of the engineering department, and the automatic sensor door slowly opened.

The two groups of people rushed in.

"The communicator is in the cabinet near the entrance. Team A will come downstairs as soon as they've finished setting it up."

The communicator in the room next door lit up, and Chu Xuan's voice came through.

"Understood."

After saying that, Shen Jun opened the cabinet, found the communicator, and tore open the packaging.

Chu Xuan's voice rang out again, instructing them on how to use it.

The spacecraft's systems contain a variety of information, and artificial intelligence can answer many common-sense questions that they don't understand.

Shen Jun hung the small, portable communicator on his ear. "Chu Xuan, did you hear that?"

"OK, got it. Team A, once you've finished setting up your communicators, head downstairs to the armory. Leave everything else to Team B."

"The indoor communication device lit up," Chu Xuan said.

Shen Jun led Ba Wang and the others out and rushed downstairs.

"Zheng Zha, go find the mining remote-controlled robot right away. I'll tell you its location."

Chu Xuan's voice rang out from the public communication channel.

"Okay, follow me!" Zheng Zha said, then led Mu Gang and the other party's bodyguards, following Chu Xuan's instructions, and ran forward.

Soon after.

Zheng Zha obtained the mining remote control robot.

Calling this little thing a "robot" is not quite accurate; calling it a robot dog would be more fitting.

The little creature resembles a dog in shape, and is entirely black with sharp edges and corners.

Following Chu Xuan's instructions, Zheng Zha operated the remote control, and the mechanical dog entered an invisible state and disappeared. Then, the invisible state was canceled.

"This is amazing!" Zheng Zha exclaimed in surprise.

Chu Xuan's voice rang out again, "This thing doesn't have any weapons, but it's still very useful for reconnaissance. Zheng Zha, I need you to check on the reactor along the way."

"Okay, I'll go right now." Zheng Zha said, carrying the mechanical dog and rushing towards the reactor.
