Alien One! Start (3)

Zheng Zha nodded. Before he could speak, Zhang Jie laughed heartily, "Not bad, you guys are quite strong. The four of us all survived from the previous Horror Movie. I've survived four Horror Movies, and the other three have survived one. But it seems we did miscalculate. We should have exchanged for some limited-ammo heavy weapons to use first. Anyway, those consumables are very cheap to exchange for."

Next, Zhan Lan carefully explained that after completing the mission, everyone would return to the "Main God" space, and the categories of items that could be exchanged. After she finished explaining everything, a smile appeared on her face, indicating she had already received those hundred Reward Points.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and asked curiously, "But why is he the strongest among the four of you?" After speaking, he looked directly at Zheng Zha. In fact, Zero Point and Overlord had also been paying attention to Zheng Zha, they just hadn't spoken.

Zheng Zha smiled and said, "It's fine to say it. Everyone receives one thousand Reward Points for each Horror Movie they survive. This is a fixed reward. Besides that, the 'Main God' will issue some missions in the Horror Movie. Completing these missions can earn Side Story points, plus extra Reward Points. Look at your watches; they show the mission for this Horror Movie and the rewards you can get upon completion."

"I completed a mission in the last Horror Movie, so I received some extra Reward Points. After strengthening myself, I appear a bit stronger than them."

Chu Xuan seemed to want to ask something else, but just then, the only door in the room slowly opened. Everyone looked towards it, but there was nothing outside the opened door.

"The Horror Movie has begun!"

Zhang Jie suddenly drew his Desert Eagle from his pocket and aimed it at the doorway. But after several minutes, there was still no sign of anyone outside the door.

Zheng Zha and the others breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously. Then, they saw the two middle-aged men carrying briefcases brazenly walking towards the door. He quickly exclaimed, "Don't go out recklessly! This is your first Horror Movie. You are much more fragile than us, and much more in danger in this Horror Movie than we are! If anyone is to explore for information, it should be us."

Zero Point sneered from the side, "Do you think they are going to explore for information?"

As they spoke, the male and female white-collar workers also walked out. Then, the three punks ran out like madmen. Zheng Zha faintly heard the two middle-aged men with briefcases say, "Hey, you think we don't know? You arrange a movie scene and find some stooges to scam us for money? Spend more money. Look at how shabby you are, calling yourselves professional killers. If he's a professional killer, then I'm Superman?"

The male and female white-collar workers also whispered in agreement. Only the three punks ran out like they were escaping for their lives, not saying a word, pushing past the four of them and running deep into the corridor. As a result, only four people were left among the newcomers: Chu Xuan, Overlord Kampalov, Zero Point, and a seemingly clever ordinary young man.

The young man cautiously walked over to the group and said, "Can I join you? Although all of this sounds incredible, I still hope to stay by your side. Oh, my name is Li Shuaixi, and my profession is... hehe, I just graduated from college, so I don't have a profession yet. But before coming here, I read many Horror Movies and horror stories at home. Oh, and I've also dabbled in fantasy novels and myths from various countries."

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie exchanged glances. He smiled and extended his hand to Li Shuaixi, "Welcome to the team. Although we might not all survive, we at least won't abandon our companions."

Zhang Jie put his pistol back into his pocket and asked, "What do we do next? We can't just stay here, can we?"

"Information!"

Zhan Lan and Chu Xuan said simultaneously. Then, they both smiled at each other. Chu Xuan waved his hand, "You say it. My strength lies in analysis; I have no confidence in planning."

Zhan Lan touched her forehead and chuckled, "Hehe, I'm a writer, so I have the most confidence in planning. Of course, if anything is wrong, please remind me."

"The four of us did an analysis before you woke up. To be honest, Alien One is not that difficult. There is only one Alien throughout the entire Horror Movie. If we talk about the survival difficulty of Horror Movies, its difficulty is even less than Resident Evil 1. Both are sci-fi Horror Movies that can be explained by modern technology. But why were there only seven people in Resident Evil, and fifteen people in this Horror Movie? We believe the plot has changed, so the difficulty has also been increased by the 'Main God' accordingly."

Chu Xuan nodded, "Resident Evil 1? If we compare it like that, the Lickers in Resident Evil 1 are actually no worse than the Alien, and there are many more of them than the Aliens. I think your inference is likely correct. The survival difficulty of Alien One is definitely not greater than Resident Evil 1. If the plot of the Horror Movie has changed... what do you think we should do now?"

"Information!" Zhan Lan said affirmatively, "We need to understand how much the plot of this Horror Movie has changed and why the difficulty has been increased so much. Also, we can't see the Alien's specific power just from the movie. We must face it in person to understand its speed, strength, and other factors. Only then can we decide how to kill the Alien."

Seeing that Chu Xuan also nodded, and Zero Point and Overlord had no objections, Zheng Zha nodded, "In that case, let's explore this merchant ship now. It would be best if we encounter any plot characters. If we encounter the Alien, I will deal with it in a fight. Zhang Jie's Desert Eagle has infinite bullets. If possible, Zero Point will provide shooting support for me... If I use internal force, I think escaping should be possible no matter what."

Just then, several screams suddenly came from the other end of the corridor. Judging by the sound, it should be those two middle-aged men and the male and female white-collar workers. The eight people in the room exchanged glances and ran towards that direction simultaneously. Except for Zheng Zha and the other three whose bodies had already been strengthened, Chu Xuan, Zero Point, and Overlord's physical fitness were astonishingly good. They could keep up with Zheng Zha's group while running. Only the young man was panting while running and was soon left far behind by the group.

Zheng Zha looked back, sighed, and then ran to grab the young man's arm, pulling him along in the middle of the team. Even so, the young man still looked exhausted.

The place where the screams came from was a hall dozens of square meters in size. The middle-aged men and the other four were sitting on the ground, screaming in terror. Opposite where they were pointing, three corpses lay stiffly on the ground. Zheng Zha and the others saw this scene as soon as they entered. The three corpses were a blonde woman, a black man, and a white man. Their faces were extremely distorted, as if they had experienced great pain before dying.

As soon as Zheng Zha and the others entered, the middle-aged men and the male and female white-collar workers ran in terror towards the corridor at the other end of the room. Zheng Zha sighed and didn't bother to chase them. He just squatted by the corpses and looked carefully. After a few glances, his face turned pale as he asked, "In Alien One... how many Aliens appeared in total?"

Chu Xuan said with certainty, "One. My memory would never be wrong about such details."

Zheng Zha stood up with a pale face. At his feet, the three corpses had a deep bloody hole in their chests, which indicated that an Alien larva had emerged from their chests. Furthermore, one of them had a large hole in his chest and abdomen, as if an Alien larva several times larger had emerged from it. Just imagining the size of such an Alien was terrifying.

"Then we will soon face three... or even more, larger Aliens."
