Zheng Zha nodded, but before he could speak, Zhang Jie laughed loudly:"Not bad, you all have quite strong abilities. All four of us survived from previous horror movies. I've survived four times, and the other three have survived once. But it seems we made a mistake. We should have exchanged for some heavy weapons with limited bullets first. After all, consumables are really cheap to exchange for."
Then, Zhan Lan explained carefully that after completing the mission, everyone would return to the "Main God" space and also the different categories of items available for exchange. Once she finished, a smile appeared on her face, seemingly because she had earned a hundred reward points.
Cheng Xuan adjusted his glasses, a little puzzled, and asked,"But why is he the strongest among the four of you?" He then directly looked at Zheng Zha. In fact, both Zero and Bawang had been observing Zheng Zha but hadn't spoken up until now.
Zheng Zha smiled and said,"Actually, it's not a big deal. Every time you survive a horror movie, you earn a thousand reward points. That's a fixed reward. Besides that,'Main God' will issue some tasks during the horror movie. Completing these tasks can give you horror movie side story points and extra reward points. Look at the watch, it shows the task for this horror movie and the rewards for completing it."
"I completed a task in the last movie, so I received some extra reward points. After strengthening, that's why I seem slightly stronger than them."
Cheng Xuan seemed to want to ask something else, but at that moment, the only door in the room suddenly slowly opened. Everyone looked toward it, but outside the door, there was nothing.
"The horror movie has started!"
Zhang Jie suddenly drew a Desert Eagle from his chest and aimed it at the door, but after several minutes, there was still no sign of anyone outside.
Zheng Zha and the others breathed a sigh of relief. However, they then saw the two middle-aged men with briefcases boldly walk out the door. Zheng Zha quickly said,"Don't go out recklessly! This is your first horror movie. You're much more fragile than us. You're more likely to be in danger in this movie than we are! If you're going to explore, it should be us going out."
Zero sneered and said,"Do you think they're going out to explore?"
As he spoke, the two white-collar women followed, and then the three punks ran out like they were escaping. By the time the new arrivals were finished, only four people remained: Cheng Xuan, Bawang (Campalovski), Zero, and the slightly clever young man.
The young man carefully approached them and said,"Can I join you guys? Though all of this sounds unbelievable, I still want to stick with you. By the way, my name is Li Shuai Xi. Profession? Heh, I just graduated and haven't really found a job yet, but before coming here, I watched a lot of horror movies and read scary stories. I also have knowledge of fantasy novels and myths from various countries."
Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie exchanged glances, then Zheng Zha smiled and reached out to shake his hand."Welcome to the team. We may not survive, but at least we won't abandon each other."
Zhang Jie put his gun away and then asked,"What do we do next? We can't just stay here forever."
"Intel!"
Zhan Lan and Cheng Xuan spoke at the same time, and then they both smiled at each other. Cheng Xuan waved his hand and said,"You go ahead. My strength is in analysis. I'm not confident about the layout."
Zhan Lan tapped her forehead and grinned."Hehe, I'm a writer, so I have confidence in the layout. But if anything goes wrong, please let me know."
"We analyzed it before you all woke up," Zhan Lan continued."Honestly, Alien 1 is not that difficult. There's only one alien throughout the entire movie. If we're talking about the survival difficulty of the horror movie, it's even less difficult than Resident Evil 1. Both are sci-fi horror movies that can be explained with modern technology, but why did Resident Evil only have seven people while this movie has fifteen? We think the storyline has changed, which increased the difficulty according to the 'Main God.'"
Cheng Xuan nodded."Resident Evil 1? If we compare it like that, the crawlers in Resident Evil aren't any worse than the aliens, and their numbers are way more. I think your theory should be correct. The survival difficulty of Alien 1 definitely isn't higher than Resident Evil 1. If the storyline has changed... What do you think we should do now?"
"Intel!" Zhan Lan said with certainty."We need to find out how the plot has changed, why the difficulty was increased so much, and we must face the alien directly to understand its speed, strength, and other factors before we can decide how to kill it."
Seeing Cheng Xuan nod, and with no objections from Zero and Bawang, Zheng Zha also nodded."In that case, let's explore this ship. It'd be best if we meet any plot characters. If we encounter the alien, I'll handle it, and Zhang Jie's Desert Eagle has unlimited ammo. If possible, Zero can provide sniper support. As for using internal energy, I think I can escape if needed."
At that moment, several screams came from the other end of the corridor. Judging by the sound, it seemed to be the two middle-aged men and the two white-collar women. The eight people in the room exchanged glances and immediately ran toward the sound. Apart from the four who had already enhanced their bodies, Cheng Xuan, Zero, and Bawang kept up with Zheng Zha's speed, and only the young man struggled to keep up, panting heavily and soon falling behind.
Zheng Zha looked back, sighed, and then grabbed the young man's arm, pulling him to the middle of the group. Even so, the young man was still struggling to catch his breath.
The screams came from a large hall of several dozen square meters. The four middle-aged men were sitting on the ground, screaming in terror. In front of them lay three bodies, stiff and lifeless. The three bodies were a blonde woman, a black man, and a white man, all with faces twisted in extreme agony, as if they had experienced unimaginable pain before dying.
As Zheng Zha and the others entered, the middle-aged men and the two white-collar women ran to the opposite corridor, terrified. Zheng Zha sighed, not bothering to chase them, and squatted down next to the bodies, carefully inspecting them. After a few moments, his face went pale, and he asked,"In Alien 1... how many aliens were there?"
Cheng Xuan confidently said,"One. My memory won't fail me on this detail."
Zheng Zha stood up, his face pale. He looked down, and saw that all three bodies had a deep blood hole in their chest, indicating that the alien embryos had burst out from their chests. One of the bodies even had a huge hole in its chest and abdomen, as if an alien much larger than usual had burst out. Just imagining such a large alien was enough to be terrifying.
"Then we'll soon have to face three... or even more, bigger aliens."
