Chapter 9: The Predator

Yun Qi silently counted the numbers as he ran, and when he counted to 300, the pyramid mechanism activated again, and the originally unobstructed passage became the end point in just five seconds.

"Our way ......" Helena ran wildly on both feet, trying to escape into the narrow gap before the movable stone wall closed, but the distance was too poor, and when her hands touched the cold, rough stone wall, it was also the time when the mechanical stone wall was tightly closed.

The road was sealed, meaning that the two would face a frontal attack from the Predator, Helena sighed, took out the Sword of Arashi Shadow from the coat of arms, and used her tired body to meet the upcoming battle.

"Don't be so frustrated, things aren't going to get to the point of desperate yet." Yun Qi patted Helena's fragrant shoulder, and through the black tight-fitting tactical suit, there was still a fascinating elastic touch in the palm of her hand.

Helena's tight-fitting tactical suit was originally a special combat suit customized by the special forces for red-haired women, which has the effect of insulating temperature, absorbing sweat stains, reducing movement friction, and also comes with a certain amount of defense, which is a reward item that Helena spends a small amount of merit points to redeem.

Coming to his senses from his intoxication, Yun Qi said, "Just now I deliberately calculated the interval between the two activations, which is exactly 300 seconds, that is, 5 minutes. ”

Taking advantage of this, the two of them successfully escaped into the next trap at the point of each change of terrain: in this way, they can ensure that they can completely block the terror pursuers in the rear, and make full use of the 5 minutes between the traps to find a better way out.

The plan went smoothly, and they successfully passed the three organs according to the method provided by Yun Qi. In the remaining five minutes, Yun Qi found the location node where the next trap was activated, based on the subtle changes in the dust on the ground after each terrain change.

"Good job," Helena said, looking at the time of the arm crest, "2 minutes until the next trap is activated." ”

Yun Qi lit a cigarette for herself: "Once life is on the right track, the problems that bothered us before are no longer problems. ”

Helena unceremoniously snatched the cigarette she had just taken a puff of, and held it on her beautiful and sexy red lips without disgust, and the tobacco became red and shiny under her soft sucking, like a bright star in the black sky.

"You see the world of reincarnation as life?" Helena blinked her long eyelashes and looked at Yunqi with her beautiful eyes.

"Isn't it? There's work, there's vacation, there's a lot of resources, and there's an inexhaustible supply of knowledge. The difference is that work is dangerous, but high-risk occupations on the planet are not much safer than here; And the holidays are very long, the earth has two days off a week, and here it is a full month of long holidays; Not to mention the quality of life, as long as you have enough salary, there are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy; There's also an endless amount of knowledge to keep learning, improving, and never stopping. ”

Helena smiled reluctantly: "I can't see it, you're still an optimist." ”

Yun Qi lit a cigarette for himself again: "If grief and grumbling can get me through, I don't mind grieving and complaining. ”

For some reason, Yun Qi always felt that Helena's mood was a little low, as if she had been hit hard, and couldn't help but be concerned: "What's wrong with you today, you don't seem to be very happy?" ”

Hearing this, Helena immediately put on a strong woman's posture, puffed up her proud chest and said, "Women always like to be sentimental. By the way, now you can explain why you just said that optional mission 1 is not the same as killing aliens. ”

Yun Qi looked at the time, there was still 1 minute and 20 seconds, so he said: "The task of killing 24 aliens is consistent with the current situation of suppressing the growth of aliens in the body, but the Predator is a natural hostile force of aliens, what we should do should be to use them, not kill." Taking a step back, even if we want to kill them, the question is that the Predator, whose mission reward is more than twice that of the Xenomorph, is it something we can fight against at the moment? ”

The Predator's quest rewards are 500 points, while the Xenomorph ranges from 200 to 300 points (depending on strength). The sentinel aliens that the two of them encountered before belonged to the lowest reward, and they still paid a heavy price, if it weren't for Yun Qi's resourcefulness and adaptability, this two-person team would probably have been wiped out.

Helena thought for a moment and said, "The strength of iron and blood, in addition to being stronger than the human body, also has extraterrestrial technology beyond the era, and a single stealth ability is a very tricky trouble. However, in the original plot, the Predator entered the pyramid for the traditional coming-of-age ceremony of the planetary race, that is, we are facing a weak crown Iron Blood, and the strength is much worse than the Iron Blood who has stood up and fought a hundred battles. And aren't there two iron-blooded people in the plot who are killed by the same alien? Perhaps, their strength is not as proportional to the reward points given by the main god. ”

Yun Qi said: "Your guess has a certain theoretical basis, but you have ignored one point. ”

He paused, and spat out four words earnestly: "Butterfly effect." ”

Helena was stunned and didn't understand for a while.

Yun Qi sighed, obviously she didn't notice this: "When the main god released the mission, it was specifically noted that this mission would activate the 'butterfly effect'. The Butterfly Effect is a Hollywood series of movies, and the content of the movie is not the focus. The interpretation of the butterfly effect is worth pondering. ”

Yun Qi explains: "The so-called butterfly effect: the occasional vibration of a butterfly's wings in the Amazon rainforest may cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later. The butterfly effect is derived from the meaning that very small changes in the initial conditions are amplified over time, and eventually cause a huge difference in the future state. ”

"If the butterfly effect is applied to the mission world, things are getting more complicated and worse." Yun Qi finally said.

Helena's eyes widened and beautiful: "You mean, the plot will change?" However, isn't it basically developed according to the plot of the movie in "Special Forces"? ”

In the last quest world, although the main god made slight changes to the plot, it was mostly added in terms of newcomer benefits (such as increasing the training tutorial of basic abilities).

"I distinctly remember the 'butterfly effect' that the main god actively turned off during the last mission, so we managed to grasp most of the rhythm of the plot development. In fact, even so, there were quite a few accidents during that mission, such as the giant snake demon that I was kidnapped by Cobra instead of the Duke and hid in the Cobra submarine base. ”

For reincarnators with limited strength improvement, the biggest reliance in the mission world is the understanding of the original plot. With this understanding, you will be able to make better plans and find breakthroughs in tasks.

But the advent of the butterfly effect has changed this advantage.

In a way, the main god's purpose in opening the butterfly mode is mostly to ask the reincarnation not to rely too much on the plot and find a way to survive, but to let you control it, control it, and defeat it.

"What then?" Losing her prediction of the future, Helena's mood hit rock bottom.

"Don't worry too much, the development of the plot will change because of our participation, however, some plots will not change because of our entry. For example, in the original plot, the expedition team opened the sarcophagus mechanism left by the Predator in the pyramid, which triggered the appearance of the alien egg in the sacrificial tomb and the activation of the pyramid terrain mechanism. ”

Helena let out a long sigh of relief, but fortunately it wasn't 100% changed.

"But," Yun Qi suddenly frowned into the word "Chuan", and said, "There is one thing I care about......

Helena's heart tightened, and she instinctively noticed that Yun Qi was looking at her differently, lowered her head weakly, and subconsciously asked, "What do you care about?" ”

Yun Qi: "Since entering the world of Alien vs. Predator, your mood has been very low, although you are very hidden, but don't forget, I am best at the field. ”

Helena's mouth was wide open, and she didn't say anything for a long time, as if the question was to her point.

In this way, Yun Qi was more sure of his guess and was about to enlighten.

Suddenly, Helena's ears moved and she exclaimed, "There is a situation! He pushed the unprepared Yun Qi away.

At this moment, an incredible change occurred in the place where Yun Qi was originally standing: there was a deep depression in the floor made of thousands of years of rock, but nothing could be seen on it.

Yun Qi remembered something and shouted, "It's not good, it's the Predator's invisible spear." ”

The worst thing happened.

Yun Qi certainly grasps the key points of each mechanism movement, but as the true master of the underground pyramid, the Predator, he also has all the information about it, including the direction of the terrain and the laws of the mechanism activation.

Moreover, Yun Qi also overlooked one point: the invisibility ability unique to the Predator.

Just when you always thought you were throwing your opponent away, on the other side, the Predator was quietly chasing through other unknown secret passages.

The worst thing is that now there is not even a shadow of iron and blood.

Two seconds later, the spear on the ground faded its invisibility effect due to its detachment from the Predator's relationship, revealing its true appearance: the tip of the silver-textured spear was a deliberately expanded blade designed to further expand the wound after piercing the target creature's body.

It is conceivable that once you are shot by the iron-blooded spear, under the effect of the first penetration and the deepening of the secondary damage, even if you don't die, you will lose all your combat effectiveness.

At this moment, Helena's passive skill - auditory perception - learned from the plot character Doom saved Yunqi's life.

The next moment, Yun Qi was hit by something, and the whole person flew out upside down, landing heavily on a position three meters away.

"Got you!" Helena struggled to catch the sounds around her, and finally locked on to the Iron Will's position the moment Yun Qi was knocked away.

The pulse wave gathered momentum, hit an empty space, seemed to meet resistance, and rebounded.

The aftermath of the rebound shook Helena and Iron Shield to the ground, and Yun Qi, who had not risen to the ground, was even more unable to open his eyes by the shockwave.

The Predator, who had been hit so hard, stood in place unexpectedly, staring at the three low microbes in front of him.

One shot of the pulse pistol turned out to be ineffective!
