Captain, your ship has exploded again.

"Sir, Deep and the others are still alive."

Zhang Xun went over to check the life monitoring system and said, "It's hopeless. We can't break in. If the situation is the same as the people on the wall before, there are at least 300 inside. Did we manage to kill 50 of them when we broke out?"

Janet shouted, "We can't leave our comrades inside!"

Ripley said, "There's no saving them. They'll become hosts just like everyone else."

Janet said, "We still have 7 CN20 rounds left, we'll use tear gas to get in."

Zhang Xun sarcastically remarked, "I didn't see the nose or eyes on that thing. Are you sure tear gas will work? It would be easier to call in an airdrop ship to bomb the factory, cause the nuclear reactor to overheat, and then flatten it."

Carter immediately stopped him, saying, "You can't just blow this up like this. The company has invested a lot of money, and the creatures we discovered are groundbreaking and extremely valuable for research."

Seeing Carter jump up to stop him, Zhang Xun seized the opportunity and said directly, "I'll send you down now to catch all the bugs, and I'll also provide you with a shopping bag as a favor. We'll return to the spaceship and wait for your news, how about that? I'll prepare a special room for you and your pet."

Upon hearing Zhang Xun's words, Carter shrank back and did not resist again. Going down to catch bugs and using a shopping bag? Are you sure that's not food wrap?

Zhang Xun touched the pistol at his waist, really wanting to shoot Carter, if only there weren't so many people around.

"Colette, did you hear that? We need to retreat."

"Received, departing immediately." That voice reminds me of StarCraft, it's so immersive!

Everyone got off the troop carrier, and Zhang Xun got off to check the condition of the vehicle.

As expected of the protagonist, the left rear wheel is gone, and only the rim remains on the left front wheel. The outer shell is covered with scratches and corrosion marks. If it were someone else, they might have already started the feast.

This kind of situation only happens in the Goose region of Taiwan, in funny short videos. In China, at most, it's just a car with one wheel missing but still running.

Turning around, I saw the airdrop ship in the sky, but forgot to ask if they had obediently closed the hatch.

Upon getting closer, they discovered three aliens hanging outside the plane. Well, they've come straight to Zhang Xun's door, using acid blood to open cans. The airdrop ship swayed and charged towards Zhang Xun.

"Get out of the way!" Zhang Xun shouted, and jumped into a pit.

In the movie, the captain died instantly; now, he's covered in acid and blood. The screams coming through the comms look painful! The airdrop ship grazed Zhang Xun after crashing and headed straight for the troop transport vehicle.

After the airdrop ship collided with the troop transport vehicle, it rolled toward the processing plant. Zhang Xun peeked out and looked at the marks that had been scraped across the crater.

How much does this world hate me! They even want to paint me on the planet as a souvenir?

"Sir, what should we do? The airdrop ship is gone."

"We have no choice but to retreat to the colonial base and make further plans."

The corrective force is truly formidable! Any resistance is met with a severe blow; there's absolutely no room for laziness.

“We need to get back to base before dark; they’ll be out in large numbers at night,” Ripley said.

Upon returning to the colony, Zhang Xun looked at the raised window shutters and asked, "How many weapons do we have left?"

“7把霰弹枪，M41A找回来10把，M56找到4把，30颗M40手雷6套机器感应器，3把喷火枪两个只剩下一半燃料。”

"What about colonial weapons?" Zhang Xun asked.

"Most civilian weapons were destroyed, leaving only some usable bullets."

A base with over 300 people, you really don't want to leave me any weapons?

It took 100 alien-shaped four-induction guns to barely hold them off.

300只好吧！现在被杀的还有2百6、7十只，就6挺双倍备弹武器，咋就不再多装点。

Ripley asked, "If we don't return on time, how long will it take for rescue?"

"17 days."

Zhang Xun slammed his hand on the wall. "Get us to collect our bodies in 17 days! We can't count on rescue anymore."

"It's almost night. If we keep watch tonight, we'll go out tomorrow to find the colony's communication device, contact the mothership remotely to drop it, and another drop ship will pick us up and take us back."

Why not go out now?

The bishop looked at the marines and said, "The passage there is blocked, so we can't connect the antenna. We can only connect it after it's repaired outside, which will take time."

Zhang Xun looked at the marine who was speaking with a caring gaze.

"The spaceship that crashed during the day also thought it was safe. Now, who knows how many more are out there! Who's going to go?"

The Marine who spoke shook his head. "I'm not going."

Ripley said, "We need to hold this place. Rebecca has survived this long without military training or weapons, right?"

“Let her command?” Hudson said, trembling.

Zhang Xun punched Hudson, and the guy never recovered. Was he scared out of his wits?

"Calm down, soldier!"

He grabbed him and said, "When you're hoping for a child, you should remember that not all of us men are dead. If anything happens, I'll face it with you."

I silently added in my mind, "You guys are in front, and I'm in the sixth position."

"We need you, soldiers. You need to find the blueprints and create the perfect defense plan so that you and we can both survive."

After everyone was calmed down, Hudson found the base design blueprints on the computer and discussed how to defend with everyone.

“They must have come to the base through this passage,” Ripley said, pointing to a passage leading to the processing plant.

"That's right, they go from here to the basement."

"Enlarge this area, close these gates and place barriers to prevent them from reaching the laboratory and control room."

"Good for the operation."

Zhang Xun watched Ripley and the Marines devise a plan, and looking at the view outside after the window shutters were lowered, he said, "What about the air handling unit nozzles near the processing plant?"

The bishop said, "That's an emergency ventilation shaft."

Hudson replied, “Great, a nice exit.”

How often?

"4 hours, covering a radius of about 30 kilometers, averaging 4 million tons."

Zhang Xun asked, "Can't we shut it down or blow it up?"

"The crash destroyed the control system, which is beyond repair. Besides, we don't have enough explosives to block the exit."

Zhang Xun looked at Hicks speechlessly. It was almost dark, and there were dozens of air-to-air missiles and heavy ground bombs on the airdrop ship. You didn't bring back any of them. Even if these weapons were unusable and you didn't have the tools to move them, could you at least get the explosives out?

Is this some kind of frugality? It's so American-style, rusty bombs are just junk, right?

Hudson said, "It's great! I was only four weeks away from retiring, but now I'm stuck here."

Zhang Xun glanced at Corporal Hicks and said, "You guys maintain your normal defenses. Give me 10 grenades and I'll go add some fuel to the fire."

"You're going to blow up the ventilation shaft?"

Zhang Xun looked at Hicks with a dark expression. "You really want to send all your superiors away, don't you?"

"We don't have enough explosives, so I'll go add some traps to some nodes."

"Hudson, go find some escape routes. The bishop will be dealing with those bugs and distracting them during the first half of the night. I need you to go to the communications tower outside and repair it near dawn, and then get the airdrop ship to pick us up."

Hudson strongly supported the idea, saying, "Good idea, let the bishop go."

"Believe me, I'd rather not go. I may be an artificial human, but I'm not stupid."

Zhang Xun said, "Don't worry, Bishop, they're just insects. You're a small target by yourself. You'll be safe while we're having a big fight here. Besides, you're all skin and bones, so you won't attract any insects."

The bishop looked at Zhang Xun with a strange expression.

Hicks, seeing this, said, "Alright, let's get moving. We need to prepare our defenses before they come out. GOGOGO!"

Everyone immediately grabbed their weapons and set up defenses near the passage. Zhang Xun took a shotgun and grenades and set up some sneaky traps at certain points.
