The Only Player in Infinite Terror

"No way, this kid can run so fast! Where did he go?" Cheng Xiao complained, looking annoyed.

By this time, the new recruits had searched the entire dormitory area and then the entire weapons room.

Unfortunately, perhaps because it was a merchant ship, or perhaps because of the previous battle, there was very little equipment left in the armory.

The newcomers turned the armory upside down and found only a few pulse rifles and about a dozen high-explosive grenades, which was better than nothing.

Ming Yanwei was extremely anxious; Zhang Heng had disappeared, and his fate was unknown.

Zhu Wen noticed that Ming Yanwei had always cared about Zhang Heng.

So she walked to Ming Yanwei's side and whispered, "Don't worry, my eyes tell me that although we have the aura of death that represents danger, it's not so strong that we'll actually die."

"So there's no need to worry, Zhang Heng will be fine. My eyes are very accurate!"

Ming Yanwei felt a warmth in her heart and replied very softly, "Thank you."

She hesitated for a moment, then said to Zhu Wen in a very low voice, "I don't know why, but I've always had a strange feeling of unease, like we've overlooked something..."

Suddenly, Zhao Yingkong, who was skilled and daring and had been scouting the area alone, called out to everyone, "Come quick, I've found the hibernation chamber!"

No one dared to delay and hurriedly ran towards where Zhao Yingkong was.

"So here's the question: how do we open this lift door?" Zhao Yingkong asked casually.

Chu Xuan pulled out a bracelet from somewhere, swiped it on the electronic lock, and the previously closed lift door opened automatically, revealing the passage to the hibernation room.

"Ah, where did you get this bracelet from?" Li Shuaixi was taken aback.

Chu Xuan walked straight ahead without turning his head and said, "Of course, I took it from those corpses."

Li Shuaixi followed dejectedly, extremely annoyed that he hadn't thought of this.

Chu Xuan quickly operated the control panel, and soon, with a burst of white mist rising, the eight hibernation pods automatically popped open.

[Discover Ripley's eighth clone from the movie. Protect her as she escapes the spaceship. Reward: 1000 points and one D-rank side quest for each member of the team; failure results in double the reward points being deducted from the entire team.]

The divine message rang in the ears of every reincarnator.

Chu Xuan immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted to Wang Xia and Cheng Xiao, who were standing guard at the other end of the passage, "Close the door quickly!"

Wang Xia was confused, but his body reacted first, subconsciously obeying the command and pressing the close button inside the door.

The alloy door, several tens of centimeters thick, slammed down heavily.

"Why are you suddenly locking the door? Did you discover something wrong?" Zero asked coldly.

Chu Xuan nodded: "We experienced this horror movie, which is more like Alien 4 than Alien 1."

"Get ready for battle, the alien invaders are coming for Mom."

After saying that, he silently thought to himself, "So, if we're talking about the Reverse Xenomorphs... I knew it. They must possess some kind of tool or authority that allows them to foresee missions in advance."

Just tens of seconds later, accompanied by a huge impact, the thick alloy door of the hibernation chamber was dented by the impact.

After a few more muffled thuds, a gap was punched through the thick alloy door.

A deep sound, much like a baby crying, came from the gap, followed by a large, humanoid head sticking out.

It was none other than the alien species that had come to "find its relatives"!

It seemed to have caught a whiff of something, and a chillingly joyful smile appeared on its grotesque face.

"Fire!" Chu Xuan gave the order as he pulled the trigger.

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.

Now that the traitor is stuck in the alloy door and can't move, it's the perfect time to take him down!

The sounds of high-speed rifles and pulse rifles firing echoed continuously in the hibernation chamber.

However, the metal bullets that were invincible against ordinary aliens were blocked by the thin skin of the reverse aliens, getting stuck in their flesh and unable to advance an inch!

The injured alien roared and went berserk, tearing the thick alloy door in half like a piece of paper with a single slap.

Seeing that the monster was about to break free, Li Shuaixi gritted his teeth and, together with Ba Wang, threw two bundles of makeshift cluster bombs strung together with high-explosive grenades.

After a burst of intense flames, a huge explosion and shockwave spread outwards.

The alien species let out a terrible howl, and when the smoke cleared, everyone saw that its entire upper body, near its left shoulder, had disappeared.

From the charred, broken surface, yellowish-green acidic blood gushed out like a fountain.

The nearby metal walls and ground were corroded with huge pits.

Just when everyone thought it would fight back desperately, it suddenly collapsed to the ground with a snap.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, wondering if the alien creature was feigning death to lure them over.

However, a notification from the Supreme God to assist in killing the mutated alien species rang in their ears.

Each person received a different amount of reward based on their contribution to the damage they caused.

The main god has already given out rewards, so this mutated alien is naturally beyond dead.

The group exchanged glances, and finally Li Shuaixi spoke first: "Perhaps it's because the mutant has a physiological structure similar to humans, and we actually blew up its heart, its fatal weakness?"

The others looked at Chu Xuan, who said calmly, "Let's just say that's how it is. There's no other more reasonable explanation for now."

He thought to himself, "It must be them who made the move... to steal the reward? Or are they worried about our casualties? Or perhaps... to make things more difficult for us?"

"If we follow the plot of Alien 4, with Ripley around, theoretically this mutant alien could be recruited as a semi-ally."

"Now that it has been killed, the subsequent operations have become much more difficult."

Probably awakened by the loud explosion, Ripley No. 8, who possessed alien genes, was the first to wake up.

She glanced warily at the fully armed new reincarnators. "Who are you?"

Chu Xuan replied without any change in tone, "We are the spaceship's security personnel."

"Ma'am, could you tell me what's going on here?"

Ripley was skeptical, but seeing that the group of people were all armed, he reluctantly began to recount what he knew.

"Not long ago, following the company's instructions, the commercial research spacecraft 'Nostromo' was placed in orbit around a spacecraft named LV-426."

"I and several crew members landed on this planet in a landing craft and found the mysterious alien ruins that the company had mentioned."

"That was a crashed alien spaceship, and it contained a large number of alien life eggs."

"To our complete surprise, those eggs were still alive and even attacked my companion Kane."

"Soon, monsters hatched from Kane's body and grew to adulthood in a very short time, hunting us down."

"In the end, I was the only one who survived temporarily because I was also parasitized."

"I used a flamethrower to burn all the eggs to ashes, and then escaped back to the landing craft."

"But after returning to the landing craft, I discovered in despair that the monster had already been lurking on board, waiting for me!"

"Finally, knowing that I had no chance of survival, in order to prevent that monster from being brought back to the Nostromo, I activated the landing craft's self-destruct program, perishing together with the monster."

"Yes, I should be dead already..."

Her face was full of confusion and bewilderment.
