Chapter Twenty-One: Missed

87_87057After disposing of his companion's corpse, Bai Qi led the scattered people back to the camp and sat down around the campfire.

After being silent for a long time, the Sven man who handed Bai Qi the card suddenly raised his head and asked Bai Qi, "Boss Li Mu, do you already know anything about moving the camp from the east to the west?" ”

His words made all the scattered people raise their heads and turn their eyes to Bai Qi, suspicion flashing in their eyes.

Bai Qi nodded without hesitation and said, "I can see some clues from the bonfire, the location of the camp, and other details. ”

The Sven man asked, "Then why didn't you sue us?" ”

The other scattered people looked at Bai Qi with a hint of anger in their eyes.

Bai Qi smiled faintly and bitterly: "The bonfire that attracts the aliens has been lit, if I expose them at that time, it will inevitably cause chaos, and you have also seen the slaughter efficiency of the aliens, once the aliens are dispersed, except for a few melee professionals who can fight against an alien alone, everyone else is a lamb to be slaughtered, even if we can kill all the aliens in the end, the casualties will be miserable." ”

"The worst-case scenario is that the team collapses under the slaughter of the aliens and scatters, and if something like this happens, there are probably very few people who will survive in the end."

"If you think about it, if these aliens are allowed to break up the team and slaughter on a large scale, the collapse of this improvised team is almost a certainty. What do you think I should do at that time? ”

The other scattered people looked at Bai Qi with anger in their eyes, but the young man who asked nodded and said, "You are right, if I were in your situation, I am afraid I would make the same choice as you." ”

Young Sven's words made the other scattered people stunned at first, and then they all showed thoughtful looks.

A burly middle-aged man with a beard on the face of the living spat fiercely and said, "When this mission is over, if I can get some merit, I must appeal to them!" ”

A tall and thin, pale young man beside him smiled bitterly: "Forget it, the dead can't live anyway, even if your appeal is successful, you can only punish the other party, and you can't get any benefits, and you have to spend a little merit as a complaint fee, thankless, and have a mortal enmity with the other party." Abel and Earl are okay, that viper is a core member of the medium-sized team 'Huya', if you are careful that you encounter Huya's people in the non-peaceful mission space in the future, then you will die. ”

The burly man gritted his teeth and didn't say anything more.

Everyone fell silent again.

Bai Qi looked at the silent Sanren and sighed with some regret in his heart.

The six scattered people who survived the xenomorph slaughter survived, not because they hid quickly, but because they had the courage to confront the xenomorphs head-on, and those who turned and fled were the fastest to die in front of the xenomorphs who acted like the wind.

These six people can survive the attack of the alien, in addition to luck, courage and strength are the main reasons, to survive in this space, bravery is the most basic and important element, and those who dare not fight often die the fastest.

From this, it can be seen that these six people are all people with great potential.

Those two legal professionals, in that case, were able to leave the Viper Squad without hesitation and return to the Sanren, and their hearts were also reassuring.

It would definitely be a good thing to be able to envelop these eight people into the team he would set up in the future.

But the Sven man's question had already made these eight people feel a little cold.

But this is also a matter of no choice, Bai Qi has nothing to do except sigh, and he doesn't plan to say anything, some things can't be redeemed by words.

Bai Qi fell into an awkward silence here, and not far away, the three leaders of Viper, Earl, and Abel, who were discussing the matter, seemed to have said something related to them, and looked back at this side.

The poisonous snake retracted his gaze and said with a sneer: "You don't have to worry, even if these scattered people survive, what can they do, do they really dare to appeal, not to mention that these scattered people are reluctant to make a little merit, even if they do, they will not benefit them at all after appealing, but will offend us to death, aren't they afraid of encountering our Huya people in the future non-peaceful mission space?" ”

The earl also sneered: "What the poisonous snake said is reasonable, besides, even if someone is really not afraid of death, if he appeals, he will punish so many of us equally, and it is not that he can't afford to pay for it." ”

Abel was still a little worried, and asked, "Will that Li Mu ......?"

The poisonous snake said: "Don't worry, never, he saw this matter in advance, but he didn't make a statement, if he appealed, the punishment was absolutely indispensable to him, as long as he was not stupid, he would never do this kind of thing." ”

Hearing the viper say this, Abel nodded and put his mind at ease.

According to the previous prediction of the poisonous snakes, it is difficult for the first scattered people to survive, as long as the scattered people die, the poisonous snake will recruit a few legal professionals into the peripheral members of the tiger teeth, and this matter will be foolproof, but I didn't expect Bai Qi to be so brave that he actually saved six scattered people.

The three of them discussed, but there was nothing to do, so they could only comfort themselves and press down their worries.

Although this happened, the space system would not give any preferential treatment to the victim because of this, and the task that should be completed still had to be completed, and no one dared to let themselves be immersed in frustration and anger for too long.

After this battle, the ordinary aliens in the alien lair have been basically eliminated, and the only obstacle to completing this task is the alien queen in the lair.

Aliens do not have a male or female sex, and the queen responsible for reproduction is usually the strongest adult in the alien group.

An alien, once chosen as a queen, will undergo a second growth, and in a short period of time, the queen's size will increase exponentially.

When the queen grows strong enough for the second time, she will fix herself in the depths of the nest and begin to grow reproductive organs.

Since the evolution of the alien relies on the absorption of the host's genes, the alien does not need to mate to lay eggs, and their eggs are completely copied from the queen's genes.

Once a queen is produced in an alien group, the other aliens will not undergo secondary growth until the queen dies.

The size of the alien queen is nearly three times that of the ordinary alien, far more powerful than the ordinary alien, but this kind of strength is also cheap, if an ordinary alien is not killed in battle, it can survive for more than a hundred years, but the life span of the queen who has grown twice is only twenty years.

Although most of the ordinary aliens in this lair have been eliminated, in Bai Qi's eyes, there are still almost insurmountable obstacles to completing this task.

The queen with the triple body size of an ordinary alien may have more than three times the strength of an ordinary alien. To kill such a giant beast, it is definitely far more difficult than destroying more than a dozen ordinary aliens.

This is the same as ten hunters with steel forks can easily deal with ten vicious wolves, but they may not dare to face a male lion.

Although he had just escaped death, the harder battle would not be postponed, and Bai Qi arranged the order of night duty.

Although the scattered people were resentful that Bai Qi had not informed them of the danger in advance, they also knew that at this time, if they wanted to live, they could only unite around Bai Qi, and they all silently accepted Bai Qi's arrangement.

After arranging the night watch, everyone lay down around the campfire.

Tossing and turning for an unknown amount of time, Bai Qi finally fell asleep.

On a big tree more than 30 meters away from the camp, a burly figure about 2.4 meters tall and wearing iron-blooded armor stood on a branch more than 10 meters above the ground, he was holding a branch above his head with one hand, holding a helmet in the other, and a pair of deep eyes were staring at the camp.

This burly observer had a terrifying face, with thick hair, rough skin, a blue-black complexion, and the ugliest of all his mouth, which was not at all human, but like a worm with four sharp mouthparts, which looked terrifying.

The observer took a deep look at Bai Qi, who was lying by the fire, put on his helmet, activated the stealth device of the iron-blooded armor, and disappeared without a trace.

Early the next morning, Bai Qi was sitting by the extinguished fire munching on a compressed biscuit, when Zilong suddenly came behind him and said, "Boss Li Mu, our Viper Boss asks you and the other two leaders to go together to discuss how to deal with that queen. ”

Bai Qi nodded, stuffed the last small piece of compressed biscuit into his mouth, clapped his hands and stood up, and followed Zilong towards the viper camp.

Walking into the Viper camp, Viper, the Earl, and Abel were already sitting by the fire waiting for him.

Bai Qi sat down cross-legged across from the viper.

Without waiting for him to sit down, the poisonous snake said: "Last night, the reason why I made this decision was also to maintain my strength to deal with the queen, the queen's strength, I don't think I need to say more, I don't know what good countermeasures you have Boss Li Mu." ”

Bai Qi thought for a while and said: "It's too early to say how to deal with the queen, first of all, we don't know if the queen is still in the nest, or if she has been freed from the shackles of her reproductive organs and left the nest, only by knowing the queen's current state, can we make corresponding countermeasures." ”

The viper frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Bai Qi's opinion.

The meeting ended hastily, and Bai Qi returned to his camp.

Ten minutes later, Viper named the ten stronger people in the team, announcing that they would form an elite team of people and enter the alien lair, and the rest of the team would be asked to stay in the camp.

Not only did the poisonous snake want to exclude all the scattered people, but even Qin Qing and Huang Mao wanted to exclude the elite team that went deep into the alien lair this time, Bai Qi was certainly not at the mercy of others, he immediately threatened to refuse to join this team, and demanded that Huang Mao and Qin Qing must be brought.

Huang Mao and Qin Qing are scouts and attackers, and the other is priests and mages, although their strength is low, they are both useful, and Bai Qi's requirements are not excessive.

With Bai Qi's combat strength, the viper was of course unwilling to turn him away, and in the end he could only compromise and add Qin Qing and Huang Mao to the team.

After some arguments, the elite team disappeared into the depths of the jungle under the complicated gaze of the scattered people
