Infinite Terror: I Have a Chat Group

Just as the group breathed a sigh of relief, the newcomers started walking straight out the door. Zheng Zha immediately called out, "Don't go out like that! This is your first horror movie. You are much more vulnerable than us, and you will be in much more danger than us in this horror movie! If we need to gather information, it should be us who go out."

Lin Yu was speechless, suspecting that Zheng Zha's experience as a junior manager in the company was fake, otherwise why would he say such a thing?

Zero sneered from the side, "You think they're going to gather intelligence?"

Zheng Zha only then realized that these newcomers had never believed in him.

Seeing that no one was stopping them, the other newcomers all ran out as well. In the end, apart from Chu Xuan, Ba Wang, and Ling Dian, only one young man remained.

He carefully walked up to Zheng Zha and began to introduce himself.

"Although all of this sounds incredible, I still hope to stay by your side. By the way, my name is Li Shuaixi, and my occupation is... Hehe, I just graduated from university and entered the workforce, so I don't really have a job yet. But before coming here, I watched a lot of horror movies and read a lot of horror stories at home. By the way, I've also read fantasy novels online and mythological stories from various countries."

[Is it still the same as the original story?]

Lin Yu glanced at him, then stopped paying attention to him.

The Zhongzhou team doesn't need another Li Shuaixi, so there's no need to feel sorry.

"You four newcomers can serve as reserve team members. If you manage to return to the Main God Space alive, we will consider making you official members."

Lin Yu spoke, his tone serious, and any intelligent person should be able to understand the meaning behind his words.

Chu Xuan and the other two remained expressionless, but the smile on Li Shuaixi's face disappeared. He thought that he would be accepted if he stayed, but he didn't expect to be a reserve player.

"What should we do next? We can't just stay here forever, can we?" Zhang Jie asked.

"intelligence!"

Zhan Lan and Chu Xuan spoke at the same time, then they both smiled at each other. Chu Xuan waved his hand and said, "You should speak. My strength lies in analysis, but I really don't have much confidence in the layout."

[Keep pretending!]

Lin Yu's face remained expressionless, but he was inwardly complaining.

Zhan Lan touched her forehead and laughed, "Hehe, I'm a writer, so I'm most confident in my plot. Of course, if there's anything wrong, please let me know."

"To be honest, the first Alien horror movie wasn't that difficult. There was only one alien in the whole movie. If we're just talking about the survival difficulty of horror movies, it's not even as difficult as Resident Evil. Both of them are science fiction horror movies that can be explained by modern technology. But why are there only seven people in Resident Evil, while there are sixteen in this movie? I think the plot has changed, so the difficulty has been increased accordingly by the 'God'."

Chu Xuan nodded and said, "Resident Evil 1? If that's the comparison, the Reptiles in Resident Evil 1 aren't actually any worse than the Aliens, and there are far more of them. I think your reasoning is correct; the difficulty of surviving in Alien 1 is definitely not greater than in Resident Evil 1. If it's just a plot change in a horror movie... what do you think we should do now?"

Creepers are no worse than Xenomorphs? What a joke! Perhaps they are roughly equal in strength, but they are far inferior in intelligence. Creepers are nothing more than corpses driven by appetite, while Xenomorphs can be called perfect creatures.

It's normal that Zhan Lan didn't think of the gap between the two for a moment, but Chu Xuan definitely couldn't have missed it. He was probably testing something, so it seems he needs to be warned.

"Intelligence. We need to know if the number of Xenomorphs has increased, and if their combat strength has improved. Our mission is to kill the Xenomorphs, so we can't hide. We can only gather intelligence on the Xenomorphs first, and then make a plan."

The others nodded in agreement with Zhan Lan's statement, but Lin Yu remained silent.

Seeing this, Zhan Lan was puzzled, so she asked Lin Yu.

"Lin Yu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"There's nothing too serious. We do need to gather intelligence on the Xenomorphs, but..."

Lin Yu paused for a moment, then looked at Chu Xuan.

"Chu Xuan, right? You're smart, but you don't seem very well-behaved. Well, let me tell you something. Our Zhongzhou team is different from other teams. We value team atmosphere and trust between teammates. If you do something that displeases people and don't gain our approval, even if you are very talented, we will eliminate you. Do you understand?"

Chu Xuan definitely needs to be reprimanded. His behavior in the original work was indeed disliked. Even though he is extremely intelligent, he is not that important to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu has an external advantage, so he is confident that he will gain absolute power before the final battle. The absence of Chu Xuan will not affect the final victory.

Of course, Chu Xuan is very valuable, and Lin Yu would not have given up on him so easily if he had no other choice.

"I understand, I won't do it again next time."

Chu Xuan remained silent for a while, without refuting anything, and directly stated that he would not do it again.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding what had happened.

"Lin Yu, what are you and Chu Xuan talking about? We don't understand."

Zheng Zha asked.

"He was just testing us."

"A test?"

Zheng Zha thought about what Chu Xuan had just said and didn't find anything wrong with it.

"Janlan, do you really think reptiles and aliens are the same?"

Lin Yu did not explain, but turned to Zhan Lan and asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Lan carefully recalled the information about the two monsters and quickly remembered their differences.

"It was my fault. I forgot that the Xenomorph's intelligence far surpasses that of the Reptile. Even if their combat abilities are not much different, the Xenomorph's intelligence, which is no less than that of humans, will make it much more difficult to deal with than the Reptile."

Zhan Lan understood what Lin Yu meant by "testing her," and sighed inwardly, realizing that she was indeed just an ordinary person.

"Are the aliens that strong? But what does this have to do with testing?" Zheng Zha still didn't understand.

"I'll forget what makes the Xenomorph special, but this newcomer probably won't, so he's deliberately agreeing with me."

Zhan Lan explained to Zheng Zha.

"Wow, you smart people are really cunning!"

Zheng Zha finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Chu Xuan was testing their intelligence. However, he had never been tricked by Chu Xuan before, and he never considered himself a smart person, so he was not angry. He just made a sarcastic remark.

"Alright, that's all for now. Let's go out and investigate the Xenomorphs."

"Zheng Zha, you go first. Zhan Lan, Li Xiaoyi, and Zhang Jie, put on your exoskeleton armor, grab your weapons, and if you encounter any aliens, you support Zheng Zha from the flanks. The rest of you, act as needed in the middle."

"clear."

"This is... a liquid exoskeleton armor?"

Seeing Zhan Lan and the other two put on the liquid metal exoskeleton armor, a glimmer of fervor reappeared in Chu Xuan's eyes.

"That's right, it's worth 800 points."

Wearing the liquid metal exoskeleton armor, Zhan Lan felt much more confident.

Just as Chu Xuan was about to ask more questions, a scream came from outside.

The group exchanged glances and immediately turned and ran in the direction of the screams.

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the place where the screams came from, which was a large hall of several dozen square meters.

Several of the new recruits who had run away were here; there were three corpses on the ground, and the others were screaming in terror.

The faces of all three corpses were extremely distorted, as if they had experienced something extremely painful before they died.

Upon seeing Lin Yu and his group arrive, the newcomers actually ran away. Lin Yu and the others didn't bother with them and focused their attention on the corpses.

"It seems to be confirmed that the number of aliens has increased."

All three corpses had a deep, bloody hole in their chests, indicating that the alien larva had emerged from them. One of them even had a large hole in his chest and abdomen, as if an alien larva several times larger had crawled out of it. Just imagining the size of that alien is terrifying.

"As expected, I'd rather deal with multiple Xenomorphs than have only one Xenomorph here, just like in the original story."

Upon reflection, everyone agreed that this was indeed the case. A sixteen-person challenge was definitely not going to be easy. If there was only one alien, who knows how much it would be strengthened by the main god, making it an undisputed big boss. If the multiple aliens were of normal combat strength, they could try to divide and conquer them, which would definitely be easier than dealing with a big boss.

After seeing the three corpses at midnight, he squatted down silently, wiped some blood with his hand, smelled it, and said, "They've been dead for about four to five hours."

Chu Xuan also squatted down beside the corpses. He gestured with his finger over the holes in the chests of two of the corpses, then gestured over the corpse with a large hole in its chest. After a long while, he stood up with a heavy expression and said, "It really is the Empress. This is terrible. The mission is to kill all the aliens, right? If there really is an Empress on the merchant ship... I think we're probably doomed."

[The Empress is nothing; can she withstand a single blow from the 'Forceful Fusion Spear'? Even Zheng Zha has the power to fight the Empress. This Chu Xuan is still trying to highlight the importance of his intelligence!]

"The Empress is indeed difficult to deal with, but we are not ordinary people, and things haven't gotten that bad yet."

If military force is insufficient, the importance of wisdom is self-evident. Chu Xuan probably didn't expect that they had the power to deal with the Empress. No, perhaps he didn't expect it, but simply wanted to give it a try.

"Are you sure? The Queen is more than ten times stronger than a regular Xenomorph. Unless you have heavy weapons, there's no hope. And this spaceship doesn't even have light weapons."

"We certainly have heavy weapons."

With a thought, Lin Yu produced a heavy machine gun in his hand, then put it back.

Zero and Overlord visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the heavy machine gun.

No one wants to face a monster like the Xenomorph bare-handed. That's not courage, that's suicide.

Only with weapons in hand can we put up a fight.
