Zheng Zha knew that this space could pull various people from the real world. As long as someone chose "yes" when presented with the initial option, they would be brought here. So, anyone could end up here—even if the President of the United States appeared before him, it wouldn't surprise him that much.
Ignoring the three boisterous youths, Zheng Zha raised his voice and said,"Please, everyone, calm down. We'll explain everything in detail soon, but for now, let's let Chu Xuan continue telling us the details of the Alien movie."
Chu Xuan had been quietly observing Zheng Zha and the other three, as well as the few people sitting on the floor and the surroundings. After hearing Zheng Zha's request, he nodded and calmly said,"So, the crew on the commercial ship naturally planned to eliminate the alien. They didn't have many weapons, but the one that stood out the most to me was the flamethrower. However, based on my calculations, such a close-range high-temperature weapon has almost no lethality against the alien, which has extremely fast speed and a highly defensive outer shell... But it could tear you apart instantly if you get close…"
The three youths, who had seemed shocked by Zheng Zha's tone earlier, were now glaring at the group after seeing that Chu Xuan and the others completely ignored them and kept talking. The one with the nose ring angrily yelled at Zheng Zha,"What the hell do you think you are? Daring to order us around? I know who you are. I even know where you live! You believe me or not, I can get people to go to your house and kill your whole family!"
This was pure street thug talk. Zhang Jie took out his Desert Eagle pistol from his coat without hesitation, and pointed it at the youth with the nose ring."Shut up. Right now, we need to focus on gathering information. Don't make me lose my temper."
Seeing the pistol, the three youths and their companions immediately panicked. Everyone quickly stepped aside, clearing a space around them. The three youths exchanged looks, and suddenly, the one with the nose ring laughed loudly. He even pulled out a gun from his coat and said,"Where are you from, huh? You're trying to show off with that Desert Eagle? It's such a joke. Who do you think can get their hands on a real Desert Eagle? It's obvious it's a fake…"
As soon as he drew his gun, Zhang Jie didn't hesitate. He pulled the trigger with a loud bang. The force of the bullet broke the youth's arm completely. The power of the Desert Eagle was immense. The bullet hit his arm, and the tremendous force split it in two.
The youth froze for a moment, seemingly unable to believe what had just happened. He shook his arm, but as the pain surged to his brain, he screamed in agony. He and his two companions immediately dropped to their knees, realizing that Zhang Jie's Desert Eagle was no fake. This realization scared them so much that they wet themselves, and they were no longer as arrogant as before.
Those around them screamed loudly, but Zheng Zha noticed that several people remained remarkably calm. They just silently watched him and the others. Zheng Zha secretly nodded, thinking that this group of newcomers wasn't too bad. At least the calmness of these people was impressive.
Li Xiao Yi, quick on his feet, ran over and picked up the gun from the bloody floor. He fiddled with it and said,"Brother Zhang, this is a fake gun, not the real thing."
Zhang Jie nodded and put the Desert Eagle back into his inner coat pocket. He spoke coldly,"Get some spray to stop the bleeding and wrap it up. Also, all newcomers, remember this: never point a gun at me. It'll make me nervous! And when I get nervous, I might act out."
Zheng Zha glanced back and took a cigarette from his pocket, offering one to Chu Xuan."Aren't you afraid? That was a real gun."
Chu Xuan pushed the cigarette back with a smile."I don't smoke. It would kill my brain cells. So, do you want me to continue explaining the details of Alien?"
Zheng Zha smiled and lit a cigarette for himself."Go ahead, please."
"The horror of Alien exceeded everyone's expectations," Chu Xuan continued."More and more members of the crew on the commercial ship were killed. At this point, however, the movie introduced a plot hole, a logical contradiction in the storyline. The crew discovered that one of them was a robot. This robot had been sent by the government to monitor them. Its mission was to bring the alien back to Earth and, depending on the situation, abandon the crew's lives."
"This is where the plot hole comes in," Chu Xuan continued, adjusting his glasses."According to the robot's words, the government already knew about the alien before the ship reached the alien's wreckage. The government's plan was to sacrifice the crew in exchange for a live alien. But how is that possible? The government didn't send scientists or soldiers to retrieve the alien. Instead, they sent a robot to blend in with the crew. And this robot wasn't even the leader of the crew! This means the crew might never even bring the alien back. All they had to do was observe the wreckage and then return, but the government relied on a 'maybe.' No government would make such a ridiculous decision. Why sacrifice soldiers who absolutely follow orders, and choose a crew that might or might not bring the alien back? It's completely absurd!"
Chu Xuan paused and said,"Let me put it in simpler terms. If a country knows there's a nuclear bomb buried in its desert, would the country send its army to retrieve the bomb, or would it send a single soldier to blend in with a commercial convoy and hope to stumble across the bomb? The director of Alien couldn't explain this, which is why this glaring plot hole exists."
Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie, and the others exchanged glances. Now they understood why the "Master God" had introduced so many new recruits—because the plot of Alien had a serious flaw. The "Master God" must have increased its difficulty, even completely rewriting the storyline. Their biggest advantage in the horror film was gone, and from now on, they could no longer predict the direction of the plot.
Chu Xuan had been carefully observing the expressions of the four and continued,"Afterward, the remaining crew members on the ship tried to destroy it. They intended to escape to a space lifeboat, but during their escape, two more were killed. By then, only the protagonist remained. She managed to escape to the lifeboat, but the alien followed her. Upon discovering the alien, the protagonist put on a spacesuit and opened the hatch of the lifeboat. The vacuum of space caused the air inside to rapidly escape, and the force of the vacuum pulled the alien out of the ship. The protagonist was the only one who survived, and she was the last one standing."
"I've finished explaining the plot. Now, can you all tell me something? For example, where exactly are we? If I'm not mistaken… this should be the commercial ship with the alien, right?"
