Chapter 225: Iron Hunt 1
Thousands of Chosen Ones in the Infinite World have a common understanding, that is, the safe 30-day rest day in the public space always passes so quickly, even Gu Cheng is no exception, until the "Advent Day" comes, he still feels that the day of the war with the Zerg is like yesterday.
But Sam, who is a newcomer, has spent the past 30 days in the public space very "moist". First of all, under the guidance of Gu Cheng, I learned about this high-level space that is higher than the StarCraft universe, and then updated my equipment under the profligacy of a rich woman and a pseudo-rich man......
During the 30 days of rest, Sam slept less than 4 hours a day, but he was still refreshed and energetic. Even Gu Cheng is sighing, Sam is worthy of being an "earthling" known as an interstellar hooligan, and his adaptability is strong, not only did it take him 30 days to turn himself into a "genuine" God's chosen one, but he can also keep up with the "fashionable", and casually give you two whole sentences of the most popular jokes at the moment.
Not only that, Sam, with his two-meter-tall stature and bodybuilder comparable to Schwarzenegger, managed to form a group of strong men in the training area who "Gatling is a man's romance", and asked them a lot of "gossip" about the infinite world and public space.
Among them, there is one related to Gu Cheng.
If nothing else, it is his "grudge" with the girl group "band".
It is said that after the women's group issued the bounty order, many Chosen ones came up with a lot of clues, which really had information related to Gu Cheng, and now Gu Cheng has been targeted by the women's group, and the bounty has been increased from the original 20,000 lifespans to 50,000 lifespans + 3 gold-level equipment!
Gu Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard the news, and the first thing that came to mind was not fear and worry, not the "fear" of being the enemy of the top ten squads in the Infinite World, but the ...... Can you get these 50,000 lifespans and 3 pieces of gold equipment?
It is impossible for others to "kill themselves", but Gu Cheng can!
After all, he has mastered the "power" that all the Chosen One dream of—the resurrection. Although it needs to consume life, but a few thousand lifespans and 50,000 lifespans + 3 pieces of gold equipment, it is a profitable business!
It's a pity that when Gu Cheng got the news, it was already the last two days of the "Advent Day", even if he had the idea of "operating" a wave, but the time did not allow him to make a lot of preparations, so he could only postpone this plan to make a fortune on the "enemy".
On the day of Advent, after Gu Cheng and the three of them went to the trading area to purchase a wave of consumables and supplies, they returned to Gu Cheng's exclusive space and prepared to enter the infinite world.

…… Familiar countdowns.
This time, Gu Cheng and the three of them sat side by side on the sofa, and as the countdown sounded, the familiar feeling of vertigo hit again-

In a daze, rows of font prompts from the system flashed in front of Gu Cheng and the three of them-
[This infinite world is "Faction War Mode.] 】
[Trigger Main Quest: Survive for 7 days.] (Note: Each Chosen One is equipped with an oxygen supply device and 3 oxygen cylinders, the oxygen supply device has a durability of 1000, and the durability will be consumed when attacked, and the device will be damaged when the durability reaches 0.) Oxygen cylinders will provide oxygen suitable for breathing for the chosen one, and each bottle can provide 10~20 hours of oxygen supply according to the amount of intake, and the strenuous exercise, the durability of the oxygen cylinder will be reduced by attack, etc., which will cause accelerated consumption. )】
[Trigger side quest 1: Destroy a "Predator" stronghold, reward lifespan x1000, experience points x5000, random silver chest x3.] 】
[Trigger Side Mission 2: Destroy a "Alien" Stronghold, reward Lifespan x1000, XP x5000, Random Silver Chest x3.] 】
【Plot...... It's officially started——]
With a flower in front of them, the scenery in front of Gu Cheng and the three of them has undergone earth-shaking changes. This is a cliffside, with a large canyon more than 1,000 meters deep below, and a dense primeval jungle behind it, and 5 Chosen Ones appear on the edge of the cliff at the same time.
What made Gu Cheng strange was that whether it was the three of them or the 5 Chosen One, the costumes on their bodies turned out to be their own costumes, not the "armored suits" of the "Predators", let alone the costumes related to "aliens", the difference was that each of them carried a basketball-sized device behind them, similar to an oxygen cylinder, and a tube protruded from one of the bottles, extending from the left shoulder to their respective faces.
Didn't you say that this time the infinite world was a faction war mode?
According to the information about the infinite world that Gu Cheng learned from 63, the faction war mode is that after the Chosen One enters the infinite world, they will be randomly assigned to the hostile camps of the current world, such as the tribes and alliances in the World of Warcraft, the Void Circle and the Corpse Soul Realm in the Grim Reaper...... Wait a minute.
To put it simply, in the faction war mode, the main quests and side quests triggered by the Chosen are "opposites" because of the different factions they are in, and even some missions will force the Chosen to "fight" with each other.
And Gu Cheng has seen the "Predator vs. Alien" series of movies, although the plot and setting of this movie series have many slots, but as an "early science fiction film" more than ten years ago, there are still some commendable two points.
The first is its setting, in the setting of "Predator vs. Alien", the Predator as a civilization that has been able to drive a spaceship for interstellar exploration, when it descended on the earth, human beings were still in the "primitive man" stage, so the Predator led the earthlings to improve the infrastructure and create a divine civilization, so that the earthlings not only had enough food and clothing but also enriched the spiritual world, so the Predators were worshiped as gods by the pure earthlings.
However, the Predator's purpose in "cultivating" earthlings is only to turn the earth into a hunting ground, encouraging human women to volunteer as xenomorph mothers and sacrifice to the "gods". The bred alien will be used as the "prey" of the Predator's coming-of-age ceremony, and only the Predator who can independently hunt the adult alien is qualified to become a real "Predator".
However, the Predator did not expect that the aliens cultivated by human women would evolve unusually quickly, and in less than a century, the "Alien Empress", a pinnacle alien with extremely high combat power and extremely strong reproductive ability, appeared.
Thus, the ending is obvious, the Predator has failed, and the newly established civilization of mankind has also been destroyed with the defeat of the Predator......
Aside from the plot and setting full of slots, the strangest thing for Gu Cheng at the moment is that since it is "Predator vs. Alien", then these Chosen One are either the Predator's camp or the alien camp, no matter how bad they are, at most they are the camp of human beings.
But......
Judging from the clothing on his body, the probability of being in the Predator camp is not high, because in the faction war mode, the appearance of the Chosen One is generally processed and changed to an appearance close to the camp, just like Gu Cheng and Mo were assigned to the Terrans in StarCraft, and their appearances are all machine gunners who have changed into the Terrans.
But at this time, Gu Cheng and the Chosen One next to him had nothing to do with the Predator's appearance.
As for the aliens, that's even less to say.
Just as Gu Cheng was about to deduce more information about the current information and the surrounding environment, several Chosen Ones, including him, appeared in front of them at the same time-
[The official plot of this infinite world "Predator vs. Alien" has begun, and the location of the Chosen One is in the primeval forest 50 kilometers away from the Predator X313 base, the Chosen One, the Sword Bearer, the Marauder, Mo, Qi Yue, Luo Yiming, Steel Bone, and the Smiling Clown...... Eight of the Chosen are third-party factions. The Chosen One, who is also a third-party faction, does not have any reward for killing his companions, and the team points are minus one point, and the maximum health in the infinite world is reduced by 30%. 】
[Kill the Chosen One of the opposing factions, and add one point to the team's points.] At the end of this infinite world, you will get the camp with the highest team points, and you will be rewarded with an additional 1000 life + 10000 experience points. 】
[Any equipment or items in the current world cannot be stored in the carry-on space.] 】
Can't put equipment items from this world in your carry-on space?
Is this for the sake of snatching oxygen cylinders?
After reading the system prompt, Gu Cheng immediately thought of this key information.
Because the main quest of this infinite world requires the Chosen to survive for 7 days, but only gives 2-3 days of oxygen cylinder doses, that is to say, if you don't attack the Chosen ones of the other two camps, it is impossible to spend 7 days safely.
So...... This time, the Infinite World does not allow the Chosen to put the items in the inventory of this world, which clearly increases the chance of snatching oxygen cylinders between the Chosen and the Chosen One!
At this time, the eight Chosen ones present all came together.
Gu Cheng changed the "gc" in his remarks to "Smiling Clown."
g Joke
", which corresponds to the "smile" mask on his face.
Originally, he also suggested that Mo and Sam also have a corresponding "nickname" to set off the name of their "Black Goat" team.
Ink responded with a wide roll of his eyes, and Sam thought about it for seven days and seven nights, and finally changed the note of "raider" to himself.
However, the system only gave the remarks name, and did not indicate which Chosen One each name corresponded to, so in addition to Gu Cheng and the three of them knowing each other, it was impossible to associate those remarks with the Chosen One present.
At this time, one of the only two female Chosen Ones present, much taller than Mo, and a woman with a purple mask said suspiciously, "Don't you think it's strange? I've watched the movie "Predator vs. Alien", and it stands to reason that there are only two camps in "Predator vs. Alien", but it seems that we don't belong to the Predator, nor do we belong to the Alien, but whether it is the Predator or the Alien, there are 'plot characters' to help, and we only have these few people? What's the difference between this and no faction? ”
Qi Yue's words are undoubtedly like a hammer hitting everyone's chest, she is right, although the number of Predators and Xenomorphs in "Predator vs. Alien" is not much, but if the two sides bring the whole clan together, it is also a "war" level existence. Even if you don't move the whole clan out, just the Predator and the Alien Empress who came out to hunt, it is not an existence that the 8 people present can easily deal with, let alone the faction war mode...... That means there are also the Chosen ones in the other camps!
This undoubtedly means that the third camp in which Gu Cheng and others are located has been at an extreme disadvantage from the beginning, and there is no "backer" to speak of!
The Chosen One, whose appearance is somewhat similar to that of Cyborg (half-human, half-steel) in DC Comics, said, "So...... We've been at a complete disadvantage from the start? ”
The second tallest man after Sam stepped forward and said, "That's right...... But this is also very strange, from my experience of experiencing several adversarial infinite worlds, every time I encounter the infinite world of faction against faction, even if the strength of the Chosen One is unbalanced, the system will set the background strength of both camps to a balanced state, and there is no faction like this, I really haven't seen it. My name is Chongwei, a power-type Chosen One, who has experienced the infinite world 17 times, and is considered a half-senior. ”
Chongwei deliberately emphasized his identity as a "veteran", obviously trying to hold the command of the temporary squad in front of him, and there were indeed his supporters present...... A short head and a thin monkey-like Chosen One immediately greeted him, and Xiang Chongwei "pulled the relationship" with a smile on his face.
"Boss Chongwei, my name is the Sword Bearer, the auxiliary Chosen One, good at reconnaissance and long-distance support, if you don't mind, can we cooperate in the infinite world this time?"
Chongwei smiled heartily: "That's great." In my opinion, since everyone is assigned to one camp, it is better to work together and fight for the first place. ”
"Boss Chongwei is right! Knock out those two camps! The sword-wielder chimed in.
Shigewei continued: "So...... The main thing now is to find out where we are and why there are no faction forces......"
"Maybe I know why......" At this time, a voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked back, only to see Gu Cheng squatting under a big tree on the inside of the cliff, playing with an egg-sized insect in his hand, the wriggling insect body was white, and the appearance was very similar to that of a leech, constantly moving in the palm of his hand.
Qi Yue frowned, and she could see that she hated insects very much: "What is this?" Bloodsucking bugs? ”
Gu Cheng raised his head and said with a faint smile: "According to the setting in the movie, in fact, the 'camps' of this movie series can be roughly divided into three, Predator, Alien, and ...... Mankind. Don't forget, in the two IPs of Predator and Alien, the people who fight against them are all humans. Even in the "Predator vs. Alien" series, there are a lot of scenes for humans. ”
"Humans?" Only then did everyone react, according to the setting in the movie, humans are indeed fighting against the two camps of Predators and Aliens, and it is indeed reasonable to say that humans are one camp. It's just that when the people present saw the name of the infinite world "Predator vs. Alien", they subconsciously associated the world camp with only two of the title.
Qi Yue asked, "You mean we are in the human camp?" ”
"Not really." Gu Cheng shook his head: "First of all, if it is a human, when the system releases a commentary message to remind the Predator and the alien camp, at least the human camp will be mentioned." Of course, it is also possible that it is more difficult for us and deliberately not mentioned it. But...... If you look at the plants around you, as far as I know, none of these plants have ever been on Earth, in other words, this is not Earth! ”
The sword-wielder was obviously a little impatient: "What the hell do you mean, don't sell it?" What to say directly! ”
Gu Cheng glanced at him and didn't speak.
It was Mo who answered, she stepped forward and glanced at the insect in Gu Cheng's hand, and said, "If you assume that this is not the earth...... Then humans can act as a third party other than Predators and Xenomorphs in the movie, which means that the natives of other planets can also become a 'third party'. ”
Everyone was confused when they heard this, but Gu Cheng didn't plan to continue selling Guanzi, and stretched out his hand to remove the "weeds" more than one meter high next to him, and in the grass pile behind, a beast with a wild boar-sized body with hedgehog-like spikes and a head like a lion fell in the grass, crawling with white insects in Gu Cheng's hands, constantly absorbing the blood on the corpse.
I saw that the round "head" of the fleshy white worm suddenly opened, just like the mouth of the big flesh worm raised in the sewer in Man in Black 2, and after opening, it revealed a circle of teeth inside, which was very terrifying, constantly gnawing and sucking the corpse of the beast.
At this moment, a combination of a mouse and an otter about the size of a rabbit sprang out from the side, and the fleshy white worm on the corpse bent its body, ejected like a spring, and attached itself to the little beast, biting it to death in the blink of an eye.
Gu Cheng stretched out his hand to remove the weeds on the other side, and saw that there were hundreds of such fleshy white worms crawling densely in the grass, if it was a patient with dense phobia, he was afraid that he would be scared to death on the spot!
"Obviously...... This insect is very aggressive, as long as it is a target with a living body, it will become their prey, and with such a large number of them, it will be very difficult to deal with if they want to attack us...... However, it is not offensive to us in any way! As he spoke, Gu Cheng simply took off the glove of his right hand and exposed the flesh and skin in front of the meat worm, but the meat worm just rolled in his palm and did not make any attack.
The few people present led by Qi Yue vaguely understood what Gu Cheng meant, but the sword bearer was still confused and scolded: "After talking for a long time, I don't know what you want to say!" Boss Chongwei, what do you think? ”
Gu Cheng hooked his lips and sneered in his heart, if these two people didn't know each other, he would perform a raw bloodsucking worm on the spot!
Obviously, Chongwei wants to take command of the temporary team, and this sword bearer plays the role of a promoter, subconsciously guiding everyone to obey Chongwei's command.
It's just that they probably didn't expect Gu Cheng, Mo and Sam to be members of a fixed team.
In fact, Chongwei carefully observed this when he found out that there were other Chosen Ones, generally if it was a team of Chosen One, they would subconsciously gather together after teleporting into the infinite world, but after entering this time, everyone walked towards the center with a tacit understanding, and obviously there was no one team.
But how did Chongwei know that after Gu Cheng and the three appeared, Sam did plan to walk in the direction of Gu Cheng, but Gu Cheng subconsciously glanced at him, due to the complex terrain of the primeval jungle, his move was not seen by Chongwei, which led to the other party's misjudgment.
Gu Cheng didn't expect that his careful move would lead to two "actors" who wanted to sing double reeds.
I don't know what their purpose is, but at least having this mind is obviously not a good thing.
Chongwei sorted out what Gu Cheng said and the information in front of him in his mind, and decided to follow Gu Cheng's words: "What does this brother mean is that these meat worms are related to the natives of this planet, and we can find clues related to the 'camp' from them?" ”
