The Only Player in Infinite Terror

Chapter 68 Outsmarting the Alien

Zhao Yingkong, who was called out, was taken aback at first, but quickly came to her senses and replied, "The T-virus and the body enhancer are very powerful. Before the injection, my physical fitness was only about two to three times that of an ordinary person."

"After the injection, my physical condition should be four to five times that of an average person."

"Moreover, this transformation was very quick, taking only a few tens of seconds to completely modify my body."

"And so far, I haven't felt any serious side effects from them. The modification has actually enhanced my combat power."

"If I had to point out any drawbacks, one would be that my body temperature would rise during the modification process, and the other would be that I would be very hungry after the modification was completed."

"However, there are compressed biscuits and energy bars in the backpack, which are very filling and taste good."

After saying that, to give everyone a more accurate understanding, she moved like lightning, leaving a claw mark on the metal wall several meters away with her fingernail, and then instantly returned to her original position.

"Wow, beautiful lady, you're amazing!" Cheng Xiao, who was standing guard at the door, whistled.

Zhao Yingkong ignored the blond-haired man and said calmly, "Of course, as an assassin, I have received professional training since childhood and have mastered many techniques for generating power."

"Even if you have similar physical abilities to me, you probably won't be as good as me and wouldn't be able to do what I do."

In the central control room, hundreds of meters away, Ling Qi couldn't help but smile as he watched the live broadcast through mental scanning.

The little apple is so cute!

This pursuit of strength can, in a sense, be considered an obsession.

Chu Xuan glanced at Cheng Xiao expressionlessly, then warned the newcomers, "The aliens have very strong hearing and vibration sensitivity."

"My advice is that in future operations, we should try to avoid making unnecessary noise to avoid attracting the aliens."

"Also, everyone, we need to hurry, since there were facehugger eggs here before."

"That means that this dormitory room was originally the activity area of ​​the Xenomorphs, and it should have been a safe place for them."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't place their fragile eggs here to parasitize and incubate; instead, they would take us back to the mother nest at the bottom to wait for them to hatch."

"So I think they should quickly detect the anomaly through pheromones and come to this room to check on the facehuggers."

"Get ready, our first battle is about to begin."

Unbeknownst to Chu Xuan and the others, Ling Qi used his mental power to scan and "see" everything clearly.

The 42 adult aliens still roaming the A deck area had already discovered the tragic deaths of the twenty facehuggers through their pheromones.

At this moment, they came from all directions, surrounding the dormitory room where the newlyweds were.

The nearest alien was only tens of meters away from their dormitory room.

Clearly, this is the first test that God has given to the newlyweds.

Fortunately, the remaining new recruits are all of good quality; there are no fakes or idiots among them.

Under Chu Xuan's command, the group quickly donned their nano exoskeleton combat suits and inserted the T-virus kit and body enhancer into their bodies.

"Sizzle!"

"boom!"

The sounds of claws scraping against the metal door, and the impact of some heavy object, came from outside the dormitory.

The thought of a monster like Alien from a horror movie right outside the door sent chills down the spines of many of the newcomers, who trembled with fear.

Chu Xuan calmly gave the order: "Cheng Xiao, Wang Xia, open the door."

Upon hearing the order, Cheng Xiao and Wang Xia pressed the door open button without hesitation, opening the tightly closed door.

An alien that was ramming the door rushed into the room. It was about two meters tall and a terrifying four meters long.

Its obsidian-like body is smooth and slender, while its limbs are thick and powerful.

The translucent, banana-shaped skull crown tilted backward, opened its mouth and roared at the crowd, revealing the inner tooth socket filled with sharp teeth inside.

"call out!"

The dull thud of a Gauss bullet cutting through the air rang out, and the alien that had broken into the room was instantly blown in the head, its terrifying and grotesque slender crown exploding like a bouncy ball.

The lifeless monster's corpse fell heavily onto the creep, yellowish-green blood flowing from the gun muzzle on its head, but it did not corrode the creep.

Li Shuaixi, who had originally wanted to question Chu Xuan about why he opened the door, immediately shut his mouth in embarrassment and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

He then realized that if they kept keeping the door closed and the aliens outside gathered in greater numbers, they would be put on the defensive.

No matter how sturdy the metal door is, it can't withstand the aliens' destruction for long.

Rather than waiting in the room to be trapped by the aliens, it's better to fight your way out while there aren't many aliens around.

Chu Xuan put down his Gauss pistol and said calmly, "Just now, a voice whispered in my ear, 'Kill one Mighty Peak Alien, gain 500 reward points.'"

"I think that must be the reward notification from the main god. Just as I guessed, you can get rewards for killing monsters."

"From what we've seen so far, the aliens we've encountered haven't been specially enhanced by the main god. Their size, strength, speed, and defense are not much different from those in the movies."

"According to my estimates, even real-world automatic rifles could pose a threat to them."

"So what should we do next?" Ming Yanwei calmly examined the weapon in her hand.

She secretly vowed that since fate had allowed her and Zhang Heng to reunite here, she would protect her childhood friend this time!

She must never let that tragedy repeat itself!

On that occasion, she went to Chengdu to invite Zhang Heng to go on a road trip together, but they were robbed by a group of wanted fugitives on the way.

Taking advantage of the lead wanted criminal's momentary lapse in attention, she managed to snatch the pistol from him at the cost of being shot in the left ear, only to be kicked off the car by the same criminal.

In the end, she could only be a powerless friend, watching helplessly as the group of wanted criminals drove off with Zhang Heng, who had fainted from fear of blood, as hostage.

She immediately reported the case to the police and used all her connections to push forward the investigation, but could only anxiously wait for the results.

This wait lasted for three months.

Three months later, the wanted criminals were finally captured and brought to justice, and Zhang Heng was finally rescued from that hellhole.

At first, she was unaware of what Zhang Heng had gone through during those three months of disappearance.

It wasn't until she had her father pull some strings and obtain a key piece of evidence related to the case that she learned what a nightmarish ordeal Zhang Heng had gone through.

That was a videotape.

When she put the videotape into the VCR, Zhang Heng appeared on the screen, hanging like a roast duck.

His face was covered in bruises and handprints, and his body was also covered in wounds.

The lead wanted criminal leaned back in his chair, arms outstretched on the armrests, legs spread wide apart, his posture arrogant and domineering.

"What a tough-guy pretty boy you are! Still won't reveal your lover's name and information? Well then, let's begin the show I've designed for you," the lead wanted criminal said with a sinister grin.

A burst of powerful music started playing; it sounded like a very old song.

Four muscular men, barely clothed, rushed forward with lewd eyes and lewd grins.

Lubricant, cucumbers, even durian...

Those were truly three nightmarish months.

During the three months Zhang Heng was imprisoned, those four perverted wanted criminals tried everything on him, did everything they could to him...

On the last day, one of the wanted criminals found a huge pair of pliers...

After seeing everything, Ming Yanwei went to the hospital to find Zhang Heng and tried to comfort and encourage him.

What she didn't know was that Zhang Heng, who was always sensitive and perceptive, had already guessed it...

From the tone of her voice, how could he not guess that the girl he had always secretly loved already knew everything that had happened to him?

A tear rolled down his cheek.

At that moment, Zhang Heng's despair and pain far surpassed the despair and pain he had felt during the three months he was imprisoned, abused, and toyed with!

And so, after losing his physical proof of being a man, even his dignity as a man was completely destroyed and shattered by the girl he secretly loved...

From then until she arrived at this place called the God's Space, Ming Yanwei never saw her friend again.

Zhang Heng was deliberately avoiding her; he never wanted to see her again…

Ming Yanwei hated herself terribly.

Why did I invite Zhang Heng out for a trip back then? If it weren't for that trip, would this tragedy have avoided happening to her friend?

Why did my usually keen premonition fail me that time, giving her no warning of danger whatsoever?

Ultimately, the four wanted criminals were convicted of robbery, forced indecency, insult, intentional injury, and illegal detention, and were sentenced to death with immediate execution for multiple crimes, including extremely cruel methods.

But neither Ming Yanwei nor Zhang Heng will ever feel joy again.

Because they won't even have the chance to take revenge themselves anymore...

"Heng, you'll be alright!" Ming Yanwei secretly vowed in her heart.

From the common sense that Zhan Lan instilled in this group of newcomers through the Mind Chains, Ming Yanwei learned that as long as they could return to the Main God Space, they could use reward points to have the Main God repair all their physical and mental deficiencies!

She firmly believes that as long as her friend can regain his full manhood, he will be able to slowly recover from that tragedy!

Chu Xuan glanced at the ceiling, which was not covered by the fungal carpet, and said with a solemn expression, "Let's get out of the room now. The alien blood in the movie is extremely corrosive."

"In the plot of Alien 4, the imprisoned aliens even kill their companions, using the blood circulation of the dead companions to completely corrode through the sturdy metal cages that imprison them, thus escaping and killing the humans in the experimental base."

"I've observed that the fungal mat on the room floor is basically immune to their acidic corrosion, but I estimate that there is no fungal mat on the lower part of the room."

"Staying in the room and holding out seems like an easy defense, only requiring you to guard against aliens rushing in through the narrow doorway."

"Given the level of intelligence shown by the aliens in the movie, they would never be foolish enough to force their way in through the door and die."

"I suspect they will choose to corrode the floor of the room with acidic blood, causing us to fall directly to the floor below."

"If that happens, we'll most likely be completely surrounded by the aliens."

The others, who initially didn't understand why they needed to go outside, were terrified after hearing Chu Xuan's words.

As if to confirm Chu Xuan's words, with a "sizzling" corrosive sound, a hole the size of a fist appeared in the ceiling!

The yellowish-green acid corroded through the alloy ceiling, which was several tens of centimeters thick, and dripped straight down without any sign of slowing down.

Zhu Wen, relying on her innate ability to see death energy, noticed something was wrong in advance and quickly pushed Zhang Heng, who was standing right below the cave entrance, aside.

Upon seeing the large pool of yellowish-green acidic blood on the spot, Zhang Heng, who had been pushed aside, was terrified and then weakly said "thank you" to Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen waved her hand dismissively and said to everyone with concern, "Colonel Chu Xuan is right. The death aura around us is getting stronger and stronger. We can't stay in the room and wait to die any longer."

Ming Yanwei felt a pang of regret. She had just vowed to protect Zhang Heng, but she had failed to detect the danger beforehand.

She felt ashamed and indignant at her own weakness and powerlessness; she couldn't protect anything!

What Mingyanwei didn't know was that the nano exoskeleton combat suits the newcomers were wearing had a strong resistance to strong acids.

Since they already knew in advance that this was an alien invasion, Ling Qi naturally informed the people in charge of the project in the Alliance before manufacturing the equipment that this batch of equipment should have strong resistance to acid corrosion.

In manufacturing these combat suits and Gauss firearms for the new recruits, fluoropolymers and special metal wires were specially added, and a superhydrophobic nano-coating was applied to the surface.

Therefore, unless they take off their helmets to look cool, the mere alien blood is no match for the newlyweds.

Chu Xuan put on the full-coverage helmet and, as was his habit, prepared to adjust his glasses, but only touched the slightly raised curved screen of the helmet.

He looked up and, through the helmet's integrated visual imaging, saw a dozen or so slender red and blue outlines through the thick ceiling.

He looked down at his feet and saw more than twenty "shadows" climbing the wall like snakes.

On the contrary, in the outside corridor, only a few aliens were making noise to attract everyone's attention and frighten them.

"Charge out!" Chu Xuan didn't explain anything more, rushed out of the room and shot several aliens in the corridor in the head with one shot each.

The others followed closely behind, and although the line wasn't perfectly orderly, it wasn't exactly chaotic either.

"Bang!"

Before the group had gone far, they heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground coming from inside the room.

With a burst of furious roars, aliens burst out of the door and chased after the group, a truly terrifying sight.

The overlord, responsible for bringing up the rear of the column, was not afraid at all. He grinned and pulled the trigger of his Gauss rifle.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

In an instant, seven or eight aliens were smashed to pieces, their yellowish-green acidic blood splattering everywhere and corroding the passageway, leaving it pitted and uneven.

The remaining aliens dared not give chase; some hid in rooms, while others hid in ventilation ducts.

An alien tried to launch a sneak attack from the ventilation duct above its head, but was shot in the head by Zero, who was in the middle of the group, through the thick alloy ceiling.
