Chapter 7 Li Shuaixi's Resentment

Chu Xuan repeated his bait plan, and Li Shuaixi's face turned bright red.

However, even in this situation, he still argued forcefully: "Why me? Why me? Of everyone, I'm the weakest! If I were to carry out this bait plan, wouldn't I be the one most likely to die? If I die, wouldn't your bait plan fail outright?"

Li Shuaixi forced himself to calm down. With Zheng Zha and Monkey King, two strong individuals capable of single-handedly killing aliens, he felt that the aliens weren't as terrifying as he had imagined.

But the premise is that you don't have to face that thing alone. Ordinary people are powerless against aliens.

Besides, there are two people who can face off against the aliens head-on, so it shouldn't be my turn!

Zheng Zha chimed in, "That's right! Li Shuaixi is physically weak and slow. If you need bait, I'm the most suitable person among us!"

Chu Xuan said calmly, "It's precisely because he's the weakest that we need to put him on this mission. All of us are extremely valuable combatants, and we can't afford any accidents during the execution of the decoy plan. If any one of us makes a mistake, it could cause the decoy plan to fail, and even affect the success or failure of the final plan."

Li Shuaixi's face grew increasingly gloomy.

Clearly, Chu Xuan meant that the lives of any of them were precious and no one could die. Only he, even if he were to die accidentally while carrying out the decoy plan, would not have a significant impact on the overall situation. In other words, he was a dispensable person.

Noticing that Zheng Zha seemed to want to say something more, Chu Xuan said, "Or do you think that our team is in a favorable position now, facing so many aliens, plus an alien queen whose strength is unknown? Or do you think that our current situation is good enough to allow us enough room and opportunity to try and fail, rather than executing the plan with the lowest difficulty and the highest probability of success?"

"The difficulty of the decoy plan lies in ensuring sufficient strength to guarantee its successful execution: once the aliens discover our plan, the aliens in the nest will swarm us, and even the queen of unknown strength may join the fray. We must be able to withstand their counterattack. Don't forget, these aliens are not all mindless beasts; they also know how to weigh the pros and cons."

Chu Xuan paused, then continued, "In this situation, if you were the Alien Queen and found that your aliens were trapped and possibly being killed one by one, would you choose to stay in the lair, letting the ordinary aliens die while we gather our forces to storm the lair and kill you, or would you fight to the death, leading the remaining aliens out to fight us?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zha gritted his teeth, preparing to say something more, when Zhan Lan suddenly said from the side, "Don't forget, Lori is still waiting for you at home."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha fell silent.

Li Shuaixi glanced at Zheng Zha, then turned his gaze to Sun Wukong, thinking that the Monkey King might speak up for him.

At this moment, Zhe Xingsun was also struggling with whether to say a few words for Li Shuaixi, but suddenly he noticed that Li Shuaixi's expression towards him had become somewhat resentful, so he immediately fell silent.

Chu Xuan remained unmoved upon seeing this scene.

Finally, seeing that no one spoke, he said, "Then let's start the vote. Those who are willing to accept my plan, please raise your hands. The minority shall obey the majority."

In the end, almost everyone raised their hands, except for Zheng Zha, even Zhe Xingsun raised his hand.

And so, Li Shuaixi's fate was sealed—either obey the plan and become bait, or break away from the team and act alone, but that would only mean certain death.

Li Shuaixi took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down, but looked at everyone with resentment, his gaze lingering on Chu Xuan and Zhe Xingsun for a particularly long time.

"Alright, I'll be the bait, just as you all wish, I will definitely be the bait!"

After saying that, Li Shuaixi sat alone in the corner without saying a word.

Chu Xuan didn't say much. Besides the bait plan, they also had two other plans to carry out: to get enough food from the restaurant and to get firearms from the armory.

Between the two, weapons were more important to everyone, so they set off together.

Because Chu Xuan had already set up many isolation doors along the way, separating everyone from the aliens, no one encountered any alien attacks when they found the firearms.

When everyone opened the door to the weapons room, they could see rows of modern, high-tech weapons neatly arranged.

Zheng Zha and the others walked over, picked up a long spear, and began to inspect it according to the training Zhang Jie had given them in the Main God Space.

Just then, Chu Xuan suddenly spoke up, "Li Shuaixi, don't touch these weapons."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned around and saw that Li Shuaixi also seemed to want to take one of the weapons, but before he could touch it, Chu Xuan stopped him.

Hearing this, Li Shuaixi gritted his teeth, turned to look at Chu Xuan, and said, "You want me dead that badly? You made me carry out the bait plan, and you didn't even give me a weapon!"

Chu Xuan said calmly, "The decoy plan doesn't require these weapons. On the contrary, carrying weapons will slow you down and make you more likely to die. Just follow the route I've planned and lead those aliens forward. I'll close the gates along the way so the aliens can't catch you."

"Besides, even if you have a weapon, you won't know how to fire it. Firing a gun in such a confined space would easily result in ricochets. Someone like you who can't fire a gun would just become a burden to us."

Zhang Jie chimed in, "Not bad! Don't forget how long I taught you in the Main God Space, and some of you still have terrible marksmanship. Now that we're going to execute the plan, are you really comfortable letting someone who can't even fire a gun stand behind you with a weapon?"

Zhang Jie's words completely dispelled Zheng Zha's idea of ​​speaking up for Li Shuaixi.

Li Shuaixi remained silent, and finally withdrew his hand.

Then everyone saw that Zhe Xingsun had also taken two guns, waved them around haphazardly a few times, and then threw them aside. He then took out a steel rod about two meters long from the corner, twirled it a few times, and then put it away.

No one was surprised, after all, the sight of Sun Wukong using a firearm instead of a staff was quite astonishing.

Next, the group went to find food. Because Chu Xuan controlled the gate, they were not threatened by the aliens.

When they returned to the control room with plenty of food and water, Zheng Zha couldn't help but sigh that Chu Xuan was indeed a rare talent.

Without him, these people wouldn't have been able to find food, water, and weapons safely. They would probably be running around in all directions by the aliens, and who knows how many of them would have died.

This mission is incredibly difficult to complete, even with Monkey King present.

Unfortunately, Zheng Zha felt that Chu Xuan was too rational.

He is extremely intelligent and his plans are very well executed, but he quantifies everyone's abilities, which distorts what each person can do and what they can contribute.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the real bait plan began.
