Chapter 43: Tactics

"This is the way to the alien hatchery." Edward pointed to the deep entrance ahead and said in a trembling voice.

"You seem scared." Sandru scoffed.

"If you walk through there, you'll only be more scared than I am."

"Come on, I'm not a coward, and the alien hasn't done it before." Sandru said softly.

"Shut up, when is it, there is still kung fu to quarrel." Yun Qi scolded the two who were fighting: "Tell me about the situation inside." ”

Only then did Edward tell the story of his experience.

After being taken to the hatching room by the alien, because the whole body was bound by the alien queen's secretions and could not get out, there was no alien in the hatching room to take care of them, so Edward used the dissolving powder hidden in the coat of arms to decompose the alien queen's secretions, and successfully escaped.

How do you know that leaving the hatchery is only the first half, and the second half is the main topic.

When he was brought in before, Edward had the foresight to play a small trick to lay the groundwork for his escape from the cave.

But even if he knew the route back, Edward encountered the biggest trouble in his life: the exit of the hatchery was full of aliens, although they did not have the habit of guarding the hatchery, but they would not let humans enter and leave like in the movies, they used their secretions, mixed various materials (such as large pieces of rubble, etc.), and built a military fortress unique to the Zerg.

Hearing that there were no less than twenty aliens inside, Sandru couldn't help frowning: "Twenty heads? Not so exaggerated, right? ”

Even if they use the terrain and the method of encirclement, the three of them can face at most twice as many aliens at the same time, but in any case, they will not be able to face twenty aliens head-on.

"Let me see what's going on inside." Murphy pulled out the flight probe he had retrieved earlier, pressed the start button, and watched as the plane lifted off, hovered, and escaped into the dark entrance that looked like a gate to hell.

After a while, a map message arrived.

The truth is very complex, it can be described as nine curves and eighteen bends, each bend has at least three forks, and these forks are connected with other forks to form a complex network, like a Minoan labyrinth in ancient Greek mythology.

"Damn it!" Murphy scolded.

"What's wrong?"

"There are moving red dots everywhere, and the preliminary estimate is that the number of aliens will not be less than thirty."

Sandru asked Murphy, "Are you sure you're going to rush over?" ”

Murphy shook his head, even if he was conceited and superior, he didn't dare to face an enemy seven times his size at the same time, but just said, "That's no different from sending him to death." ”

"I said a long time ago that the hatchery is a forbidden place for aliens, and people break into it by mistake." Edward wasted no time in adding that he had not dared to insist too much on this because of his protection.

"Yunqi, you have the most ideas, do you say we should retreat or advance?"

Yun Qi looked calm, did not answer, but turned to Edward: "Tell me how you passed." ”

Everyone was shocked, and then they remembered that the white-haired old man in front of them was the only survivor so far.

Edward said, "Don't look at me like that, half of my luck depends. ”

"Tell me about your significant other." Yun Qi waited for the way.

"That's it." Edward pulled out a translucent membrane of disgusting mucus from the coat of arms.

"Isn't this alien slime? Old man, you want to make fun of me, don't you? ”

Yun Qi took out the sticky film, looked at it for a long time and didn't see the reason, and the insight only told him that this was a non-identification prop, and he couldn't give specific information.

"See what?" Sandru asked.

Yun Qi shook his head: "I'm not sure. ”

Sandru looked disappointed.

Yun Qi said: "I'm not sure, it doesn't mean that others can't be sure." ”

"What?" This time, it was Murphy who was surprised because Yun Qi threw the sticky thing to him.

"Call up your flying scout and see if it can keep the heat out."

Murphy did as he was told, and there was still a lot of flying machines in his coat of arms.

"It's useless, it can't block heat." Murphy said.

"Still can't be sure?" Sandru said.

"At least the Xenomorphs don't rely on heat to sense our actions like the Predators." Yun Qi said, tilting his head, and fell into a deep thought: since it doesn't rely on heat energy, how does the alien capture its prey?

If you want to enter the hatchery, brute force rampage is definitely not possible, only by sneaking in carefully and achieving it without being detected.

In this way, an important problem must be solved: how to avoid the perception of aliens.

First of all, we must figure out how aliens perceive.

The alien clearly has no eyes, and the topic of alien perception is deliberately avoided in the original movie, and in the absence of information, Yun Qi can only do the elimination method.

Fortunately, Edward, who was lucky with shit luck, inadvertently used the alien mucosa to successfully escape.

"What are you doing with so much, let's just find a few more special-shaped mucosa." Sandru Road.

"Tell him where you got this film." Yun Qi said to the chemist,

"It's all over the place in the hatchery, but it's the aliens who protect the alien eggs. It's not often out there. ”

"Hear me, my necromancer." Yun Qi teased.

Sandru was speechless for a while, and it took a long time before he said, "Then what should I do?" ”

"The best countermeasure is to accurately find out the means of perception of the aliens." Yun Qi said.

"The problem is that you can't find it."

"I guess it's a particular pheromone, like the way ants perceive. Perhaps by applying mucus from the mucous membranes to the body, you can avoid the perception of aliens. Yun Qi said.

"That's just your guess." Sandru was not convinced.

"Maybe he's right, how can we know if we don't try." Murphy was also worried, and there was no better way to enter if he wanted to break his head.

"Just kidding, what if it's wrong? It's not a game. If you're wrong, you can't save it and start over, you only have one chance. Sandru hit the nail on the head.

Now Murphy was speechless.

Yun Qi thought for a while and said, "You're right, random speculation is not the solution after all. Since we are not sure that we can deceive the alien perceptions, it is better to solve them in a simpler and most direct way. ”

"What's the solution?" The three of them said in unison.

"Kill them all."

As he spoke, Yun Qi threw the alien mucosa in his hand back to Edward, and a confident smile bloomed on his face.

……

Edward moved cautiously, scolding his mother in his heart. He never thought that Yun Qi would come up with the tactic of "luring the snake out of the hole" to crack the alien fortress.

He moved his steps, and every time he advanced, he would not exceed a meter, which could be described as walking on thin ice.

"Bastard Yunqi, I believe you wrong, I'm a lot old, and I actually asked me to be a bait." Edward was full of complaints, but he could only swallow obediently.

In this team led by Yun Qi, he is the weakest, and he can only accept coolies unconditionally, if the bait is also a kind of coolie.

Yun Qi's words seemed to linger vaguely in his ears, and he couldn't dissipate for a long time:

"The core of my tactics is to lure the enemy deeper, since our direct rush will attract a large group of aliens to gather, it is better to lure them out one by one."

The task of luring the enemy was naturally performed by Edward, who was the least powerful, and in addition to that, considering that he was the only one who was familiar with the terrain.

In order to put Edward in danger, Yun Qi specially threw back the alien mucosa, asking him to use it to escape before he had time to escape from the alien capture.

"If I knew this was the case, it would have been better to break up at the beginning, and everyone would be safer than now." Edward was remorseful and shouted in his heart, "Get on the thief ship."

Come to think of it, things have to be done, at least three powerful reincarnators behind him are backed up, which gives him some confidence.

Thinking about it, he raised his foot slightly, and moved cautiously in the middle of the middle, fearing that every trace of progress would attract the perception of the alien.

The footsteps finally landed safely, and it seems that this time it is safe again. But even when his heart was relaxed, there was a death-like footstep in the darkness ahead.

It's not good, there are aliens!

Edward turned and ran, and at this time, he didn't care about luring the snake out of the hole.

It's okay not to run, but when he runs, he alarms the alien who is hiding not far from the darkness.

Edward could only hear the footsteps behind him getting faster and faster, and each step seemed to be stepping on his heart, and the pulsation became more and more intense with the footsteps.

At a distance of only 100 meters, Edward only felt as if his heart was about to burst out of his chest, and he was crying out for pain with an old bone.

Seeing that as long as he turned a corner, he could reach the pre-set ambush point, but who knew that the alien suddenly leaned to the ground, and a retracted accumulation, like a spring plate catapulted out, suddenly pulling the distance between the two to zero.

Edward only felt that the evil wind behind him was not good, and he involuntarily turned his head, and at this sight, his face turned yellow with fright, and his hair stood on end.

Seeing that this pounce was inevitable, Edward, who did not have any acceleration skills, couldn't dodge it anyway, according to his ordinary physique, once he was pounced, he would die.

At the stake of life and death, Edward made the most correct decision - to bless himself with "chemical protection".

Level 1 is in armor form, and suddenly Edward's weak body has an extra pair of powerful armor.

Just as the skill was completed, the alien was already in his mind, and his tongue flicked out and hit the vest.

Edward only felt as if he had been hit by a speeding truck, and the whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string, and he was in mid-air, the person had fainted, and then he was awakened by the impact after landing.

The alien saw that it failed to kill the enemy with one blow, bounced on the ground, and pounced the old man who was lying on the ground.

Just as it was in mid-air, it suddenly heard a shout: "It's now!" ”

Before the words fell, three black shadows burst out of the hidden place like electricity, and before the alien could react, a heavy blow was first struck on the head, deflecting its center of gravity, and at the same time, a never-before-seen "kind" rushed to its back, stomping on all fours, and then opened its mouth, and the inner nest teeth shot out like bullets, catapulting at the spine where its head connected to its body.

This attack directly cuts off the connection between the brain and the body. The xenomorph suddenly loses control of its body.
