Infinite Terror: I Have a Chat Group

"Zheng Zha, how many reward points did you get for killing that cat-like alien?"

After treating Chu Xuan, Zheng Zha also survived the backlash from the gene lock, so Lin Yu asked him a question.

"Two thousand reward points and a C-level side quest."

"Me too!"

When the cat alien died, Lin Yu received a notification and gained a C-level side quest and two thousand reward points. He thought that Zheng Zha, as the one who killed the cat alien, would receive more reward points, but he didn't expect that they would be the same. This made Lin Yu curse the main god for being stingy in his heart.

A double C-level side quest plus 4,000 reward points doesn't sound like a lot, but compared to the strength of the cat alien, it's not enough!

Under normal circumstances, the cat alien would be enough to wipe out the entire Central Continent team, so it must be worth at least one B!

However, the main god has always been like this, so Lin Yu could only curse in his heart.

"You get a reward too? That's great!"

Zheng Zha was happy that Lin Yu received the reward, but he didn't really understand the reward mechanism and didn't feel much about it.

"Let's head to the control room immediately; another attack would be disastrous."

Seeing that Lin Yu and Zheng Zha seemed inclined to continue their conversation, Chu Xuan interrupted them.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became alert, but no other alien attacks occurred until they reached the control room.

After entering the control room and closing the door, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. Lin Yu took out food and water for everyone to eat, while Chu Xuan began to explore the merchant ship's control system.

"Lin Yu, how many more defensive spells can you cast?"

Chu Xuan explored the operating system while asking Lin Yu questions.

"Second time."

Lin Yu's current limit is eight times. He has already cast five spells and some other spells, so he can only cast one more spell with the remaining magic power.

How long will it take to recover?

"long time."

Because he didn't have enough reward points, Lin Yu didn't buy any recovery potions and could only rely on natural healing.

"I see."

Chu Xuan stopped talking and began to focus all his attention on the control system.

It didn't take long for Chu Xuan to figure out how to operate the system, and then he began to explain it to everyone.

"Although the control system looks complicated, the operation system is actually very similar to the operation system of the rocket launch site, and it is an easy way to operate."

Most people didn't quite understand, but following Chu Xuan's instructions and manipulating it a little shouldn't be a problem.

How much food and water do we have left?

Chu Xuan asked Lin Yu.

"Don't worry about food."

The food that Lin Yu put in his personal shop is enough to feed several people for a year and a half, not to mention that they can also buy it from other group members.

"Since we have enough food and water, we have two plans to implement. First, we monitor all the passageways and record the locations of the aliens. Then, as they separate, we drop isolation layers into the passageways. This way, we can isolate the aliens in several passageways. With our combat strength, killing ordinary aliens will be almost risk-free."

The group exchanged silent glances. The others were already terrified by the alien's horror. Even Zheng Zha, who was not afraid of ordinary aliens, was not confident that he could defeat the cat alien again, let alone protect the others.

"What's the other plan?"

"Another plan... another room in the isolation layer is a hibernation chamber, which is a cryogenic chamber similar to hibernation. People sleep in it with very little energy consumption. We can eat and drink our fill and then go in to sleep. The computer in the control room is set to the pre-programmed return route... We will go back with the aliens."

"You mean going back to Earth in this world?"

"That's right, let the Earth government use their army to fight the Xenomorphs! Then we can survive safely... Of course, another possibility is that humanity in this timeline will be wiped out by the Xenomorphs, and we will face tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even countless Xenomorphs, living for several more years before dying..."

"I oppose this plan. There are too many unknowns, and the chances of success are not high. It would be better to carry out the first plan. With our strength, we are enough to fight the aliens."

Lin Yu naturally opposed the second plan. Although the strength of the cat alien was indeed unexpected, Lin Yu did not believe that there would be a second cat alien. As for the queen, as long as she was not a speed-type like the cat alien, she would not be outmatched.

Zero and Overlord agreed with Lin Yu's idea, not wanting to entrust their lives to the unknown, but the others remained silent, clearly frightened by the cat alien and unwilling to fight it anymore.

"I agree with the first plan. Even if I'm not from this timeline, even if I might live a few more years, I don't want to bring the Xenomorphs to Earth in this world!"

Zheng Zha finally spoke. After an internal struggle, he still chose to fight the aliens rather than bring them to Earth.

Chu Xuan nodded and said, "The second plan does indeed have many unknowns. For example, the Earth government might blow our merchant ship up outside the atmosphere, or the aliens might corrode the walls and parasitize us while we sleep."

Zero said coldly, "Since this plan has so many flaws, why did you even bring it up? I don't need your nonsense."

Chu Xuan waved his hand: "Even if the second plan has many loopholes, the chance of survival is still higher than the first plan. The strength of the Alien Queen is hard to predict. She is probably no weaker than the cat alien from before, and is very likely stronger. Lin Yu does not have enough magic to cast another defensive spell for us. Even if we win, we will probably suffer heavy casualties."

"Can't we wait until Lin Yu recovers?"

"Sure, but there are too many variables in half a day. Don't forget, there's plenty of meat there, and a new alien could appear in half a day. If another mutated alien like the cat alien appears, it would be a loss."

The control room fell silent again. Lin Yu, Zheng Zha, Ba Wang, and Ling Dian chose Plan 1, Chu Xuan favored Plan 2, and the other three did not express their opinions, but they were obviously also inclined towards Plan 2.

Just as Chu Xuan was about to let everyone vote, Zhang Jie suddenly spoke up.

"I also choose the first plan. Don't forget, we still have our ace. As long as the Queen isn't as fast as the cat alien, we might be able to win easily."

"You mean the 'Meltdown Gun'?"

Chu Xuan naturally hadn't forgotten the trump card Lin Yu had mentioned before, but the appearance of the cat alien made it difficult for him to place his hopes on technological weapons.

No matter how advanced the technology and weapons are, they are difficult to use against an enemy as fast as the cat alien. As the final boss, the alien queen is unlikely to be weaker than the cat alien.

"good!"

Lin Yu directly took out the "Strong Fusion Gun" with a rather unique design.

"The 'Melting Gun' is incredibly powerful, far beyond what the Xenomorphs can withstand. As for speed, there's not much to worry about. The Xenomorph Queen is enormous, and even if it's as fast as the Cat Xenomorph, the 'Melting Gun' will still be very effective."

Given the Alien Queen's enormous size, it's unlikely she could possess the speed of the Cat Alien. If she could, it would only mean that her strength has exceeded the Central Continent Team's ability to cope. Even a fan-made god wouldn't go that far!

Perhaps feeling that Lin Yu's words made sense, Chu Xuan ultimately abandoned his second plan.

Although Zhan Lan and Li Xiaoyi did not want to face the aliens again, they had no choice but to agree to the first plan at this point.
