Chapter 66: Surprise
Chapter 66 ·Unexpected Surprise
When entering the atmosphere of LV426, the aircraft's outer window partition was opened. Through the optical projection technology of the future era, a planet that is silent, desolate, with lead-gray as the main color, but with water and an atmosphere, comes into the eyes of the reincarnators. According to the data collection and analysis submitted by the fleet, the atmosphere on the surface of the planet is not suitable for human breathing before it is processed.
Not suitable, but not impossible. If your physique is strong enough, it is not difficult to sustain it for a period of time. Combined with the Lord God’s specialty, environmentally adaptable pills with unknown principles. Even if it is not completely airtight, the veteran's combat effectiveness will not be greatly reduced - after all, this planet is a prosperous colonial star fifty-seven years later. From an economic perspective, it at least means that the planet's atmosphere is relatively easy to modify, making it adaptable to the vast majority of humans.
Jiang Yu brought environmental adaptation medicine, and he gave one to everyone. While accepting his thanks, he also arranged the combat power currently possessed by the reincarnators.
"Although this is a clean-up operation that is not very difficult in theory. But we do not rule out the possibility that the Lord God will make it more difficult for us. Because the commander mentioned that there will be support from synthetic human troops. And this means, He has concluded that the expedition cannot be completed by synths alone - they may have suffered some setbacks, and we'd better concentrate our forces."
Jiang Yu said, feeling slightly uneasy in his heart, he decided to gather as many troops as possible. Abandon the configuration of the headquarters, and instead put all combat power into the front line. This may result in the loss of backup from the reserve team, but at least they will not be unable to overcome the powerful challenges that appear in front of the Samsaras due to insufficient combat power.
His words have always had authority. Zhan Lan and Mou Gang both agreed.
Zheng Zha even clenched his fist gently, seeming to have a similar feeling.
"Well. Our battle along the way... was a little too smooth. It was so smooth that it was inappropriate. Therefore, Jiang Yu's caution should be correct. I... also feel that there is something wrong with that spaceship." Zheng Zha's The reaction basically sets the tone for the next action plan. Under the premise that Zhang Jie had basically no sense of presence, the strategy decided by him and Jiang Yu was the direction in which the Zhongzhou team was heading.
But this does not mean that the set direction cannot be fine-tuned.
"This possibility does exist." Chu Xuan nodded. "But before, the fleet commander also mentioned that the radar could not scan. This shows that there is some kind of interference on the spacecraft, and the synthetic human force cannot perform the mission. This may also be the reason. So I suggest that at least one or two people are left here. Inside the aircraft. At least at critical moments, we can communicate with the fleet. And..." He turned his head and glanced at the autistic woman and the unconscious man. "At least someone has to watch them and don't let any accidents happen."
This makes sense - this reason is based on the premise that he asked Li Shuaixi to plant the bomb, and the senior people did not object. He arranged it so that his words were useful at this moment. Because we do need a candidate to make special decisions under special circumstances.
"I'll stay." Li Shuaixi stood up almost impatiently. He may not have noticed the subtle atmosphere between the seniors and the newcomers at all, but it is also possible that after seeing it, he still stood firmly on Chu Xuan's side. After all, he was the one who planted the bomb, and it was naturally the most reasonable for him to stay in this place.
Jiang Yu and Zheng Zha looked at each other through their helmets.
"It is necessary." It was Zheng Zha who finally spoke, and he acknowledged Chu Xuan's judgment. "Li Shuaixi... is indeed not suitable for overly intense exploration and battles. But according to the rules of the Lord God, once a group branch appears, everyone in the entire team will have to face differences in strength and weakness no matter where they are. test.”
"Since we need to retain people, we need to allocate combat power." Jiang Yu also knew that this was a necessary move, so he made a supplement. "Ling Dian or Cheng Xiao are both more suitable candidates."
He glanced between the two of them. Compared to Li Shuaixi, who had become a fan of Chu Xuan, both Ling Dian and Cheng Xiao remained quiet throughout the process. They wait for the seniors to make a decision. However, compared to the relatively calm Ling Dian, Cheng Xiao's eyes showed a little fighting spirit to make achievements.
"At zero o'clock." Jiang Yu finally said, although he got the side plot before zero o'clock. But he knew that Cheng Xiao was stronger. If Zheng Zha took off his equipment now, he would most likely not be able to take him down with his bare hands. "The spaceship is a relatively narrow area, and it is difficult to exert the unique abilities of a sniper inside. But if you stay on the outside and in a wide field of view, then even if there is a test from the Lord God, it will be easier to deal with it."
Ling Dian nodded silently, and Xia also lent him the modified heavy sniper rifle at Jiang Yu's request. After being equipped with special bullets, this firearm is extremely powerful, although it has not been put to use yet. But if it's just the kind of aliens that appear on a spaceship, it's not a big problem to kill one with one shot.
"So, Chu Xuan, you will stay here too?" Zheng Zha looked at Chu Xuan. He recognized Chu Xuan's brains, but he had not seen Chu Xuan's combat power. However, he also vaguely noticed something. After all, if he was just an ordinary smart person, he would have no experience in dealing with senior military officials.
"I'm a soldier." Chu Xuan also readily admitted his identity. "My title is Colonel, and I am also the chief of scientific research. I have undergone all-round tactical training and have a lot of practical experience. I am good at using two guns to fight, and of course other firearms are not a problem for me."
"Colonel? Great." Zheng Zha exclaimed, but compared to the shocking development on the spot in the original text, he was only slightly surprised now. It's better to say that he personally values Chu Xuan's two-gun ability more. "Double guns... are they the kind of double guns that old women with two guns have? Pistols or submachine guns?"
"Double pistols."
"That's quite a coincidence." Zhan Lan rarely cut into the topic. "I happen to have a pistol here, which is very powerful. But it can no longer be used. But in your hands, it should be just right for use."
"I have one here too." Mu Gang also joined the topic. He obviously understood what Zhan Lan meant. Before returning to the biochemical, Jiang Yu had recommended that the reincarnators each buy a high-powered revolver with unlimited bullets. They played a lot of roles in the cleaning inside the base. And now, both of them appeared in front of Chu Xuan.
"M500, Colt's Python." Chu Xuan picked up two pistols. Zhan Lan's girlish pink paint made his eyebrows jump. But he didn't dislike it, but casually turned a few gun flowers, and the movements were smooth and effortless.
His body is undoubtedly stronger than the average of normal people, even the average level of special forces. The one-handed heavy hunting revolver that only Rambo, Alice, Yan Shuangying and other movie protagonists can do is not difficult for him. The only thing that can bother him is perhaps ammunition.
"I still need some..."
"These two guns have unlimited bullets. No need to change bullets." Jiang Yu is waiting here.
Then, there was a moment. He captured Chu Xuan's astonishment-this is a classic CG, which is completely worth taking a photo.
"This... incredible." Chu Xuan pushed out the revolver and poured out all the bullets. However, when he returned to the revolver and pulled the hammer, he clearly felt a new bullet appear in the middle of the cylinder!
The conservation of mass was trampled on mercilessly. Chu Xuan, who had never been moved by the alien technology and the abilities of the reincarnationists, finally encountered an event that subverted his worldview for the first time.
And at the same time...
With a light sound of "click", the aircraft landed successfully. It connected to the temporary camp of the synthetics.
…………………………
The camp was a square splicing fortification, and a large area of open space was cleared around it. There was a large airlock connected to the camp where the aircraft landed. Those who should stay stayed in the aircraft, and a team of synthetics in uniform white uniforms were waiting for the inspection of the reincarnationists.
The captain of the synthetics was named Walter, and the order he accepted was to obey the highest-ranking member. Among the reincarnationists, the "first-level security consultant" carried by Zheng Zha and Jiang Yu obviously had the highest authority. Soon, all the information they obtained was shared with the reincarnationists, and the reincarnationists knew why they stopped here.
"There is interference in that spaceship. Many electronic components in our bodies will become abnormal when they are close to it. And there seems to be some unknown danger inside. Because after a group of combatants equipped with anti-interference armor successfully broke in, we lost their signal. After the mothership used high-power radar to track, we got the information that all of them were destroyed." Walter explained, and his argument also verified the views of Chu Xuan and Jiang Yu.
There is indeed interference, and there is indeed a threat. However, the aliens will only react to organic bodies. Unless a large-scale group has been bred in the spaceship, it is unlikely that they will attack the reincarnations.
"It's Ripley's aircraft." Zhan Lan pressed her eyebrows and said her scan results in the channel. "Ripley's escape spaceship crashed in the middle area of the engineer's abandoned ship. This may be regarded as an attack, thereby activating the internal defense measures of the engineer's spaceship... I saw those synths and the distribution area of the alien eggs. There seems to be no other enemies... Strange, I can't scan the internal structure of Ripley's escape spaceship... Something is blocking me."
Bad intelligence, ominous omen. Jiang Yu immediately thought of the alien secretion of Alien 4 that could block mental scanning. And the name Walter made him frown.
Walter is the name of the security maintenance synth of the Covenant. The male supporting role of the sequel to Prometheus, Covenant. Although this may be just a coincidence. But luck is not desirable. Because if Prometheus is Alien 5, then Covenant should be Alien 6.
"I understand." Jiang Yu took a breath. "So, you can fight."
"Yes." The captain of the synth nodded. "There are six sets of anti-interference armor in the camp, which can arm half of the personnel. And the supplies that the fleet commander asked us to prepare are also here."
It showed the arsenal in the camp to the reincarnations. Not only does it have a fully covered exoskeleton that may be slightly lower in defense than Kashejin, but it can provide a lightweight power bonus. There are also intelligent machine guns that can automatically aim and lock. In addition, various explosives and light and heavy firepower are endless.
As a supply, it is too rich. All these equipment together might be worth more than a thousand bonus points.
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes. The difficult side quest seemed to have appeared in front of him.
As a wise man after the event, he now thinks that perhaps it is the best way to modify the parameters outside the atmosphere to make the Noshimo crash into the engineer's abandoned ship and prepare for the power reactor to overload and the reincarnations to escape by aircraft. Unfortunately, he can't modify the ship system of this era, and Xia can't do it either.
There is no way.
"I have a feeling." He made a low voice in the communication channel. "We are walking into the lion's mouth without knowing it."
The next moment, the Lord God gave him a response.
——【Trigger the pre-branch mission of Alien 1. Within one hour, clear all the aliens in the engineer's abandoned ship. If successful, all members will get a B-level branch plot and reward points of 5,000 points. If the branch is not completed within the time limit, all members will deduct the same amount of reincarnation resources. 】
——【At the end of the main mission, if the reincarnation score is negative. Obliterate! 】
Alien 1, that's right. The Lord God is talking about the pre-branch mission of 'Alien 1'.
The reincarnations looked at each other subconsciously. Everyone's heart was twitching violently in the cold.
"No... How is it possible!? It shouldn't be like this!" A terrified voice came from Zhang Jie's communication channel.
And Zheng Zha roared without hesitation.
"Let's go! Set off immediately! Captain Walter, take your people, we will leave immediately!"
