Chapter 168: Alien Attack
After a night's rest, everyone adjusted themselves to their best.
Just now, Phoenix and Scarlett have also withdrawn from the dungeon area, preparing to take over the work in the outside world.
Time is ticking by in waiting......
"It's coming!"
With a silent snort, a system prompt appeared in his personal system, and the scene around everyone was also changing rapidly.
"System Prompt: Mission Background: The 'Nostromo' commercial drayage spacecraft returned to Earth from the planet Cedus with 7 crew members and 20 million tons of ore, and the spacecraft received a mysterious signal when it passed through an asteroid, and the spacecraft computer immediately woke up the dormant crew.
The company's top management ordered the Nostromo to land on the asteroid, and Captain Dalas, Deputy Captain Kane, and Navigator Lambert disembarked to investigate the source of the signal, while Warrant Officer Ripley, Science Officer Ash, and Engineers Brett and Parker were ordered to stay behind and monitor the ship's progress and repair the damage during the landing.
Dallas, Kane, and Lambert discover that the signal came from the wreckage of an alien spaceship, and when they enter the wreckage and see the ribs of the alien creature's remains open outward, Ripley finally determines that the signal means a warning.
Kane discovers an egg room, where an egg suddenly cracks, and the released creature clings to Kane's face. Dallas and Lambert bring the unconscious Kane back to the ship, but the crew is unable to remove the alien creature from Kane's face, only to discover that its blood is a strong acid. Eventually, the creature sloughed off on its own and was confirmed dead.
Towards the end of the maintenance work, Kane finally woke up, he didn't look abnormal, but after eating, he suddenly suffocated and convulsed, and an alien burst out of his chest cavity and crawled out......"
"System Prompt: Win Condition: Persist in the dungeon area to survive the dungeon ends!"
"System prompt: Condition for the end of the dungeon: 1. Kill all aliens. Second, under the condition of ensuring Ripley's survival, he will return to Earth with at least one alien hatchling. Third, hold on until the end of the dungeon time, and the dungeon opening time is 168 hours. ”
"System Prompt: Reward for the end of the dungeon: 1. Kill all aliens, reward points of 10,000 points, which can be redeemed in the system store!
Second, under the condition of ensuring Ripley's survival, 500 points will be awarded for each alien hatchling returned to Earth with him. Captain Dalas, Navigator Lambert, Warrant Officer Ripley, Science Officer Ash, Engineer Brett and Parker each survive and are awarded 1,500 points.
3. Survive for 168 hours in the dungeon area, and reward 2000 points, which can be redeemed in the system store! ”
"System prompt: This copy is a B+-level science and technology dungeon, and the use of A-level or above magic skills and props is restricted, so players are requested to adjust it by themselves.
Now enter the preparation stage, and after half an hour, players will enter the dungeon, and participants are asked to prepare for the battle. ”
Silently looked at the system prompt in front of him, and silently sent it to the team channel.
After doing this, Bu Si looked at the area he was in now.
It was a small modern room, the whole room was made of alloy, and there were all kinds of modern instruments in the room, but I didn't know any of them.
In this room, in addition to Bu Yu and the others, dozens of people were teleported here.
Based on their clothing, it was easy to tell that only one-third of the people were veterans and belonged to two teams, while the remaining thirty or so were all newcomers.
Seeing this scene, Bu Shi's brows wrinkled subconsciously, he thought about it slightly, and reminded in the team channel: "Be careful, there is something wrong with this copy." ”
And at this time, one of the two veteran teams suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Ahem, everyone pay attention, there are some things I want to explain." ”
The people in the room who were not figuring out the situation saw that someone took the initiative to stand up and speak, and immediately subconsciously followed the sound and looked over.
"My name is Guoguo, and I am one of the leaders of the underground town of CY City." Guoguo smiled at everyone: "As for what the underground town is and what is the identity of the leader, if you can leave here alive, you will naturally understand."
Let me now give you an idea of what we are facing. ”
Speaking of this, Guoguo paused: "First of all, I want to tell you an unfortunate news. That is, the world we usually live in is illusory, and the world we live in now is just a game created by some advanced civilizations.
We're the NPCs in this game. And what we have to do every day and who we will meet are also arranged. ”
"In this world, there is a strange space called copy, the main body of which often comes from all the existing literary and artistic creations of human beings, including history, mythology, film and television, literature, animation, and so on......"
"Each copy has its own unique special limitations, and the only constant is data. In the dungeon, everything can be measured and expressed in data, even yourselves.
If you don't understand it yet, you can also think of the dungeon as a big VR game, except that everything in this game is real......
And, of course, death. ”
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared, interrupting Guoguo's words: "I said okay, I listened to your nonsense here early in the morning, and I said what kind of place is this?" ”
Guoguo looked at everyone, and at some point, three young men with their hair dyed the color of forgiveness had already arrived in front of her.
The man at the head looked at Guoguo carefully, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of obscenity: "Little girl, you are really willing to spend money to deceive people, but unfortunately, Lao Tzu doesn't believe this." ”
Speaking of this, the man paused, his eyes swept back and forth on Guoguo's body, and said with a lewd smile: "Instead of wasting time here, it is better to have fun with the master." ”
As he spoke, the man directly reached out and hugged Guoguo's waist.
Seeing this scene, a shallow smile appeared on Guoguo's face......
"Ahh
The man's arm had just stretched out, and before it could touch Guoguo's body, a sharp pain came over his shoulder.
When he looked down, he was surprised to find that his right arm had completely left his body, and was firmly grasped by Guoguo.
Large strands of blood flowed outward along the terrifying hole in his right shoulder, but in just a few seconds, the man was completely unconscious and passed out on the ground.
"Kill...... Killed...... Killed! ”
Seeing his companion fall to the ground, the two remaining young men also became frightened and howled loudly.
But the next moment, they followed in the man's footsteps and shut their mouths forever!
Guoguo looked at the three corpses on the ground coldly, threw the broken arm in his hand to the ground, and then stretched out his hand a little, and an orange fire lotus appeared out of thin air and slowly fell on the three corpses.
The next moment, the three corpses immediately burst into flames......
The newcomers in the field killed three people when they saw Guoguo disagree, and they were all shocked in place, and they didn't even dare to breathe......
Guoguo looked at everyone's reactions, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Since our world is a game created by other high-level beings, then naturally there will also be high-level beings who will come to our world as players.
And the dungeon is specially prepared for these players. ”
"As for us, we are special characters who have been selected from many NPCs to participate in the game and increase the sense of experience of those 'players'.
Like those players, we will open our personal system, learn all kinds of magical skills, exchange special items with different functions, and also receive quests issued by the system.
What we need to do is to complete the task of system release as much as possible in these copies and survive successfully. ”
"When we enter a quest, we publish a separate background overview and mission requirements. And this is what you have to do next, and the only way to help you get out of here and back into the real world. ”
Hearing the words "return to the real world", everyone subconsciously held their breath and pricked up their ears, for fear of missing any word Guoguo said.
"You're really unfortunate that you just became an Awakened One, and the first quest you entered was a bloody killing copy of the Alien.
A word of caution, don't let the players find out who you are, otherwise, without the monsters in the dungeon, those players will tear you apart first. ”
Speaking of which, Guoguo didn't seem to want to explain more, opened the door, and walked out with his team members. The other member of the Awoken team also walked out after exchanging glances.
......
Seeing that the only two veteran teams had already left here, Mera couldn't help but ask silently, "What do we do now?" The man named Guoguo claims to be the guide of the underground town of CY City, do we need to get in touch with it? ”
Bu Yu shook his head and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, this copy is not as simple as we originally thought." ”
"What do you mean?"
Silently, he nodded to those newcomers: "The difficulty of this dungeon is only B+, why do you draw so many awakened people to enter the dungeon at the same time?"
I just did a rough calculation, counting our three teams, the number of awakened people who entered the dungeon this time actually reached a terrifying 60.
That's enough to illustrate the dangers of this dungeon. ”
"On top of that, there are bugs hidden in the background of the mission."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions became solemn at the same time.
Mera thought for a moment and whispered, "What do you mean...... A bug in the original story? ”
"That's right.
In the original plot, the xenomorph hatchlings hid in Kane's body, successfully entered the spaceship, and continued to kill.
And it was only at this time that everyone truly realized the horror of the aliens. As the number of people in the spaceship became smaller and smaller, the crowd gradually became panicked.
Just as they are about to destroy the aliens, there is a logical bug in the plot. ”
"What is it?"
Nicole on the side looked silent and asked.
"The true identity of Science Officer Ash and the true purpose of the company sending them to space."
Bu Shi looked around and said in a deep voice: "According to the development of the original plot, when everyone was about to destroy the aliens, they were attacked by Ash. After some fighting, it was finally discovered that Ash was actually a cyborg.
At the same time, Ripley also discovers from the ship's computer that Ash was ordered by the company's employer to bring the alien back to Earth, even at the cost of the lives of the entire crew. ”
"That's interesting.
Through this plot, we can know that the company's employer knew about the existence of aliens here early on. At the same time, he intends to sacrifice everyone in the entire fleet in exchange for bringing the alien back to Earth.
What does this mean? This shows that the employer is not at all sure about this action.
In that case, why would he use a merchant ship to bring the aliens back to Earth instead of using armies or recruiting mercenaries? ”
"According to the development of the original plot, at the end of the first part, only Ripley successfully escaped back to Earth alone, and did not return with the alien.
By the time of the second part, Ripley was the only survivor of the encounter with the alien on her first expedition, and she hibernated until she was rescued by the rescue team. When she opened her eyes, she realized that she had been hibernating for 57 years! In the meantime, humanity has migrated to the planet where the aliens are located.
What does this mean?
This shows that in the past 57 years, the original employer has not brought the alien back to Earth as he wished. Is it reasonable that even those in power at the time did not know that there was such a thing as an alien? ”
Hearing this, everyone's brows suddenly furrowed.
If, as the computer record says, the employer behind the company would rather sacrifice the entire fleet to bring the alien back to Earth, then you can imagine how important the alien is to it.
But is it possible that in 57 years after the failure of the first expedition, the employer has not tried to bring the alien back to Earth again?
Besides, how did the company's employer find out about the existence of aliens on this planet? Before humans move to the planet where the alien is located, they must thoroughly explore the entire planet to ensure that there are no dangerous creatures that can threaten themselves, why didn't they find the alien? Or did they find out, but for some reason hide it?
……
"Could it be that you're thinking too much?"
Lori thought for a moment, then looked at her silently: "Maybe this is a plot loophole?" Don't forget, this is just a science fiction movie, it can't be exhaustive, and some logical loopholes are inevitable. ”
Bu Yu shook his head: "I don't think this is very likely, even if there may be logical loopholes in the original plot, but since the system has chosen the plot of this movie as the mission background, it is unlikely that such a loophole will be left."
And...... If you take a closer look at the three winning hints given by the system, none of them are in line with the original plot, which means that this copy will definitely not develop according to the original plot.
In addition, changes have been made to the original story in the background of the mission......"
