Chapter 39: The Battle Begins
No one expected that Li Shuaixi, who once attacked his own people out of selfish fear, would suddenly transform into a hero and actively request a mission. This earth shattering and enormous change caught many people off guard, and Zheng Zha simply petrified, unable to turn his emotions around for a while.
No one is sure whether he truly realized it or pretended to compromise in order to save his life.
Everyone is still hesitating, but Chu Xuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, you just lost blood from your injury. Eat some high calorie food to restore some strength, and then make arrangements
Then Chu Xuan said to Mou Gang, "The third room in the control room is the sports activity room. It is used by astronauts to prevent osteoporosis caused by long-term hibernation and lack of exercise. There should be some balls such as basketball and baseball inside. You can move a few boxes over... the firmer the better, and table tennis and other things are fine
Although Mou Gang was puzzled by this command, he still followed it, after all, no one could explain Chu Xuan's wisdom.
Wang Zongchao handed Li Shuaixi a miniature needle and said, "This needle contains an excitatory drug that can take effect within five seconds after injection. It can increase your physical strength and explosive power to about 1.5 times your normal level within five minutes. However, after the drug effect, your physical strength will drop to about half in the following hours, and you will basically lose combat power. But as long as you do your job as bait, we will be responsible for your safety after the drug effect is over
At this moment, Zhan Lan also comforted him, "I have strengthened the basic white magic. I can help you add wind spirit acceleration spell later, and your speed can be increased by about 30% within ten minutes
Li Shuaixi gave a cheerful smile and said, "Thank you, Big Brother Wang, thank you, Sister Lan. In that moment, I went to experience the feeling of surpassing Liu Xiang
With a smile, his previously gloomy and extreme demeanor was swept away, making people feel that he was actually a sunny young man who was quite enduring. Zheng Zha couldn't help but respond, "No ambition! Liu Xiang is nothing, not to mention now, just the first time I strengthened myself, if he goes out to do hurdles, that kid will only be unemployed
Li Shuaixi carefully examined him and asked seriously, "Big brother, has anyone told you that if you go out and join the entertainment industry, those Korean boys who are particularly picky about girls and gender will only be unemployed
Damn it, if you're jealous, just be honest. Even though you think I'm a little more handsome and charming than you, you slander me... When you return to the main god space, you can also use side storylines to strengthen a bloodline. I think with your delicate skin and tender flesh, you're definitely more 'disgusting' than me
Chu Xuan knocked on the table and interrupted their antics, saying, "No problem, let's listen to personal tasks
Li Shuaixi smiled gratefully at Zheng Zha, knowing that Zheng Zha intended to ease the tense atmosphere between himself and others with words. Then his face turned stern and he faced Chu Xuan.
From my further observation just now, the five newly grown aliens have returned to the first and second warehouses together with the injured alien, which is the location where I speculated the alien queen was located. The surveillance system around there has failed, perhaps corroded by the alien's secretions. I remember in the horror movie Alien IV, the alien queen secretes some substances similar to spider silk when laying eggs, which are also acidic substances, but the acidity is not as strong as alien blood
Six mature alien forms and one queen, if they all launch an attack on us without our preparation, it will be difficult for us to resist, but they are putting on a defensive posture. Is it... "Li Shuaixi interjected thoughtfully upon hearing this.
Not bad, based on these signs, there is a probability of over 80% that T-virus enhanced aliens are emerging. Aliens are waiting for their strength to reach its maximum before delivering a fatal blow to us. Time is running out for us
Due to the concentration of alien forces, I have prepared two sets of plans.
In Plan A, only one to three alien heads would chase after Li Shuaixi. At that time, only two isolation walls were needed, and Li Shuaixi would run and hide under this wall in front of him temporarily. The alien heads attracted would be blocked by another wall and eliminated by us
However, from the perspective of the intelligence of the aliens, it is unlikely that they will give us a chance to defeat Li Shuai Xi one by one. The most likely scenario is that they will either not chase after Li Shuai Xi or send out three or more aliens at once to chase after him. At this point, we need to implement Plan B:
For Plan B, three isolation walls are needed. Li Shuaixi must run behind the innermost wall, and then we will rely on the melee abilities of Wang Zongchao and Zheng Zha to forcefully separate the pursued aliens and use one wall to separate them. Then, we will lower the outermost wall to divide them into two groups and concentrate our superior forces to eliminate them one by one
And next, Li Shuaixi, you put the sweatshirt stained with your own blood in a plastic sealed bag and bring it along. After arriving at the designated location, you take out the clothes, spread them out, shake them, and let the smell quickly dissipate to attract the alien
Li Shuaixi shook his head. Just as everyone thought he was going to waver, he decisively said, "There's no need to wear a blood robe. Animals with a keen sense of smell can distinguish whether the smell of blood is fresh. To make the bait more effective, just give me a dagger. I will bleed myself and directly attract the alien
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else was stunned, and Zheng Zha was even more frightened by him. He stepped forward and put his arm on his shoulder, shouting, "You're crazy. I will never tolerate building the fruits of victory on my comrades' self harm!... Or are you worried about something else... Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't sit idly by and see the newly confirmed companions abandoned
Li Shuaixi interrupted him and said, "Do you know the Mongolian horse control technique? When the horse's stamina reaches its limit, they will bleed on its buttocks to reduce the heat of the blood, so that the horse can quickly recover its strength and sprint again. This is actually a way to exchange vitality for endurance and speed! Anyway, if I can't run against the alien, I definitely won't be able to survive! By doing so, my chances of survival will actually be greater
The horse riding technique you mentioned does have scientific basis, and it can effectively and domineering stimulate people's potential, with a lasting effect of about one or two minutes, "Chu Xuan nodded, but his tone was not appreciative, but rather plain as before:" Since that's the case, let's proceed according to what you said
Zheng Zhafang wanted to say more, but Wang Zongchao had already stopped him:
You should respect a warrior's decision
Li Shuaixi smiled and began to bring the things he needed, walking forward.
Wait a minute! "Unexpectedly, Chu Xuan spoke up and stopped him.
I have prepared an American XM1014 automatic shotgun where you will be hiding for a while. Its power is not enough to penetrate the alien exoskeleton, but if you can insert the muzzle into the alien's mouth and explode from the inside out, it can be effective in killing. This can be used as a last resort for self-defense
Thank you! "Li Shuaixi turned around and bowed. After Wang Zongchao saved his life, his second expression of gratitude to Chu Xuan was even more sincere.
If it weren't for his demonstrated determination, I'm afraid you wouldn't have wasted a weapon for him, would you? "Wang Zongchao understood, which was actually a way for Chu Xuan to express his approval of someone.
The battle begins.
Mou Gang and Ripley prepared to go to the gravity control room on the lower level, and the others also arrived at the designated location to start their own work.
In order to better play the role of bait, Li Shuaixi put a sweatshirt soaked in the blood he had just left after being shot into a plastic sealed bag and brought along a connector that Chu Xuan had removed from the wall and temporarily transformed, and set off on the road with Zhan Lan. Chu Xuan stayed in the control room to monitor the movements of the alien and guide everyone's actions at any time.
When reaching the designated location close to 300 meters, Chu Xuan prompted Zhan Lan to take out a crystal ball and start applying Wind Spirit Acceleration Technique to Li Shuaixi. Afterwards, he quickly retreated to join the others, leaving Li Shuaixi alone facing the location of the alien.
Hurry up! "Chu Xuan's voice came through the communicator.
Li Shuaixi took out a dagger and gritted his teeth to stab the wound on his left arm, causing the blood that had just stopped to gush out!
As a matter of common sense, bleeding from a cut in the pulse or arm is generally not enough to cause death, unless it is the neck artery! Besides, there are still residual hemostatic drugs on my wound, so I cannot die! "Thinking this way, Li Shuaixi's face not only did not show the pale color after bleeding, but also showed a sickly red color. With the loss of hot blood with vitality, an inexplicable restlessness swept through his body from the wound, and his energy began to be abundant. The trembling caused by fear was swept away.
After finishing these tasks, just less than ten meters out, across the hundred meter aisle, a dark skinned, nearly three meter tall alien with a ferocious body shape suddenly appeared in front of me, and... more than one head!
Run, Plan B
The voice of Chu Xuan coming out of the liaison was not complete, as Li Shuaixi had already thrown the liaison on the ground, tightened his hand, plunged the doping syringe into his body, and turned back to run desperately.
Just like a joke he once saw, if there is a tiger chasing after you, even Liu Xiang can't run as fast as you.
Li Shuaixi is in this situation now. He can hear the heavy footsteps of several aliens behind him, he can hear the roar of the aliens, and he can feel the strong killing intent emanating from the aliens. He instinctively feels that even with acceleration and doping, he cannot outrun the aliens.
Slow down! It's too slow! Li Shuaixi could feel that the distance between himself and the alien was being pulled closer at an astonishing speed.
Feeling the approaching killing intent, his heart was only filled with the word 'run', unable to muster the courage to turn back, let alone throw a combination bomb backwards. He ran too fast all the way, feeling breathless, his ears buzzing, and his heart contracting uncontrollably. His whole brain went blank, just like when he reached his physiological limit in long-distance running during his student days. A sense of powerlessness surged from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but want to slow down, but the chilling killing intent behind him made the hair on his back stand on end.
Suddenly, Li Shuaixi felt a rope blocking his waist, but the rope had been dealt with and disconnected at once, which would not have much impact on his speed.
But the tension of the rope caused a basket next to the channel to collapse completely, and a large number of baseball, basketball and other balls in the basket immediately bounced and scattered, covering the ground behind Li Shuai Xi.
The following is a very funny scene:
The first three alien heads who chased after them with great momentum suddenly stepped on those balls, causing their bodies to lose balance and fall upside down, colliding with the two alien heads who came after them. Although they were eager to get up, they stepped on the rolling ball and immediately fell to the ground.
This is exactly Chu Xuan's first arrangement, surprisingly focusing on some sports equipment.
The pursuit of the alien was temporarily suspended, and Li Shuaixi, who was not suffocated by the alien's killing intent for the time being, finally turned around and threw the joint bomb in his hand with all his might. When the joint bomb was still in the air, he turned back and continued to run desperately.
The flames, accompanied by the angry roar of the alien, swept behind him. Fortunately, Li Shuaixi turned a corner in time and was not affected.
Approaching... ahead is a semi lowered partition wall, and slightly closer to oneself, there is another partition wall slowly lowering.
Li Shuaixi exerted his last bit of physical strength, crossed the partition wall that was being lowered, arched his body and pounced forward. He rushed in from under the half placed partition wall, but his head was hit hard by the wall, and blood flowed down in an instant.
The excruciating pain in the head, the fatigue of the body, the mental exhaustion that stretched to the limit when life and death were hanging on the line, and the aftermath of stimulants, all of a sudden, were transmitted to the brain through various nerves in the body like a strong wind and tsunami. For a moment, Li Shuaixi could only lie motionless on the ground, enduring the torture, wishing he could die immediately.
Although the prey was out of sight, the alien, completely enraged by the explosion, relentlessly chased after it, even though they saw a descending barrier ahead.
However, the explosion not only temporarily interrupted their pursuit, but also caused their formation to disperse, now with three alien heads ahead and two alien heads chasing behind by ten meters.
