Chapter 63 Alien 2
"Zoom in on area B6 for a panoramic view of the isolation walls above and below the spacecraft."
Chu Xuan's tone remained calm as he lightly tapped the main screen, bringing up a view of a high-risk area.
But the scene before them plunged them into utter despair.
Countless massive adult aliens surrounded the isolation alloy wall, their sharp claws slashing and tearing wildly, while their highly corrosive, viscous saliva constantly washed over the metal isolation wall.
The hard, special alloy was continuously corroded and melted, and the sizzling, ear-piercing corrosion sound came clearly through the screen, which was shocking.
The isolation wall was already mostly damaged, with many steel plates corroded and perforated, leaving only a thin layer of structure barely holding it up. It wouldn't be long before the entire isolation wall was completely torn apart and breached.
Once the isolation wall is completely breached, everyone on the Zhongzhou team will instantly become prey for the aliens.
Immediately afterwards, the main screen switched, and Red Queen brought up a complete list of spacecraft crew members.
The original storyline only had seven crew members, plus a pet cat named Jones, and the information was clearly marked on the record.
Below the list is a densely packed list of new additions—five hundred ordinary interstellar passengers, along with a large number of accompanying live animal and plant samples.
Everyone was placed in a large cryogenic hibernation chamber at the bottom, where they were in a safe state of deep sleep and isolated from the outside world.
Within the scene, a chilling atmosphere surged, white mist swirled, and rows of sealed interstellar hibernation pods were neatly arranged in the center of the low-temperature hibernation zone, which should have been a safe area for peaceful slumber.
They are all now likely infected by the Xenomorphs, without exception. This means that the exact number of mature Xenomorphs we are currently facing is unknown.
It's very likely that there are more than five hundred, not including any special individuals that may have been parasitized by other animals, and... the newborn aliens that are being hatched one after another.
More than five hundred mature Xenomorphs roam and hunt within the spaceship's enormous steel labyrinth, along with the potentially elusive Xenomorph Queen, the source of all nightmares.
The main god has been modified; the plot has been drastically altered.
The movie is now a reality.
An alien catastrophe, far exceeding the scale of the original story, has completely engulfed the entire Nostromo.
The despair in the control room was almost tangible, so heavy it was suffocating.
The newlyweds reacted differently, but all were on the verge of collapse.
Some people were ashen-faced, their lips trembling uncontrollably, making soft "clucking" sounds;
Some people were digging their nails into their scalps, as if the physical pain could temporarily mask the trembling of their souls;
Some people clasped their hands together, curled up in a corner, muttering to themselves, whether they were praying to some god or Buddha, or simply talking unconsciously.
The deathly silence in the control room lasted for less than three minutes.
On the screen, in the monitoring footage of the cryogenic hibernation zone in area B6, the aliens were still tirelessly corroding the isolation wall. The hissing sound of acid corrosion seemed to penetrate the metal bulkhead and strike directly on everyone's nerves.
Wang Qi's gaze was serious. He had a premonition that this was not the whole plan of the God, and the God could not possibly give them too much time to prepare.
Just when morale was low and despair was spreading, Wang Qi stepped out, stood in front of the main control screen, his back straight, his demeanor as steady as a mountain.
His gaze slowly swept across the screen filled with alien nests and murderous intent, calm and indifferent, showing no fear.
Wang Qi's gaze swept over everyone present, his tone calm and solemn, breaking the brief silence of the group.
"There are no shortcuts in the world of reincarnation missions. Taking chances and speculation will only lead to your demise. All paths to survival have always been earned through hard work and fighting."
He paused, his gaze falling on Zheng Zha, whose expression was tense and who seemed to be under immense pressure, before slowly adding:
"As we've come this far, everyone has been getting stronger. Fear doesn't solve problems, and hesitation only leads to missed opportunities."
Show your strength and will. As long as you cooperate and proceed steadily, we can definitely complete this mission smoothly.
Zheng Zha, who had been feeling heavy-hearted, slowly clenched his fists. The confusion and timidity in his eyes faded away, replaced by a burning fighting spirit.
Zheng Zha instantly perked up, regaining the sense of responsibility and confidence that a team leader should have.
Once everyone had calmed down, Wang Qi raised his hand and conjured up light and shadow that spread out in mid-air.
His voice was calm and decisive, carrying an unquestionable resolve: "Based on the distribution of threats and our own situation, we will carry out group cleanup to optimize efficiency."
The moment the words were spoken, the holographic screen rapidly refreshed the data, clearly listing the personnel grouping plan, the area danger level, the number of aliens, and the optimal cleanup route map, all in a well-organized and easy-to-understand manner.
"Grouping is as follows, execute immediately."
"Group 1: Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, Ling Dian, Ba Wang."
The target areas are B-6 and C-4, where two waves of alien clusters are expected, each consisting of dozens of ordinary aliens.
Tactical Assignment: Zero will use long-range precision sniping to eliminate vital points; Overlord will provide heavy firepower coverage and suppression, blocking the alien's advance route; Zheng Zha will be responsible for close-quarters combat and finishing off the remaining enemies, holding the defensive line; Chu Xuan will provide tactical analysis throughout, predicting enemy movements and filling any gaps in defense.
Zheng Zha replied in a deep voice, "Understood. The first group is fine. We guarantee to complete the task."
"Group 2: Zhang Jie, Zhan Lan, Li Xiaoyi."
The target areas are D-2, E-1, and F-5, with a total of three waves of enemies. The first wave consists of about twenty aliens, and the next two waves each consist of about thirty aliens, posing a moderate threat.
Tactical Assignment: Zhang Jie will lead the main attack and stabilize the battlefield; Zhan Lan will use her mental abilities to provide early warning and detect lurking aliens; Li Xiaoyi will be responsible for perimeter security, familiarizing himself with firearms and melee weapons, and honing his skills through real combat.
Zhang Jie grinned, his fighting spirit blazing: "Leave it to me."
Zhan Lan nodded slightly, spreading out her weak mental energy: "I will keep a close eye on the surroundings and will not miss any hidden threats."
Li Xiaoyi took a deep breath, gripped his weapon tightly, and his eyes hardened: "I will be vigilant and not hold the team back."
"I'm in the third group, working alone."
Wang Qi said in a calm tone.
"Targets G-3 and H-6 are high-risk areas. I can handle them alone. We'll finish this quickly and then head straight to the lair to meet up with you."
No one objected. The Zhongzhou team was well aware of Wang Qi's strength; he could easily sweep through high-risk areas single-handedly.
After assigning all the groups and combat tasks, Wang Qi looked at the few newcomers in the team who had no combat ability and gave them final instructions.
"All new recruits will remain in the core control room of the spaceship. The Red Queen will lock all the hatches and activate multiple layers of defense to prevent the aliens outside from breaking in. You just need to stay inside and not move around or touch any of the spaceship's control buttons. Just wait quietly for our return."
After giving his instructions, he looked up at everyone and said, "Now, everyone, take five minutes for a final pre-battle check-up: check your weapons and ammunition, replenish your energy, and adjust your physical condition. Once you're done, move out immediately."
Each team set off simultaneously, clearing out all the aliens on the perimeter. Finally, they all converged and stormed the alien mother nest. Their ultimate goal was to slay the alien queen.
The brief instruction was given, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
The group exchanged glances, with no objections. They quickly checked their equipment and adjusted their state, then divided into groups as planned, ready to launch the operation.
