Chapter 2 Stages and Difficulty
"I see, that's ......" Ma Le finished reading the story, and a trace of excitement surged in his heart: "This world is full of biochemical superhumans and mutated creatures, and the danger is a little dangerous, but it really suits me...... Am I guessing right? The system threw me here with the intention of giving me a bigger boost? ”
According to the plot of the story, there are indeed special types of Martian xenomorphs on this planet. Among these bed bugs, a highly intelligent individual has evolved, and he has become the leader of the xenomorph group, and after obtaining the corpse of the crew of Bagus II, and also obtaining the materials for the insect transformation operation, he has also transformed the xenogene! To transform human beings, high-tech equipment and precision surgery are needed, and even then, the success rate is only 30%. However, the vitality of cockroach monsters is tenacious, and they can be strengthened only by simple and crude methods, and it can be said that this planet, in addition to hundreds of millions of ordinary cockroaches, there are many special aliens that have obtained other biological characteristics!
If you eat them all, I wonder if you can get any new abilities?
Ma Le lay in the dimly lit cavern, full of anticipation for this trial.
But until then, he didn't plan to go out. Since it is mentioned in the task description, 7 days is the time limit for obtaining the basic reward, and according to the different difficulties, the task time limit is also divided into 10 days, 15 days, and 30 days, which probably means that once it reaches a certain point in time, the difficulty of the task will make a qualitative leap.
For example, now, except for the first time when Ma Le encountered a Martian xenomorph, the rest of the time, he did not encounter a second one. Even if there are hundreds of millions of them, in an area as large as Mars and in such a barren ecosystem, the density of this creature is still very small. So in the first few days, maybe the aggression of these xenos is not too strong, and it is not even very easy to encounter, which is mainly to allow adventurers to adapt to this world. And as time goes by, these insect monsters will slowly find their way, and the difficulty will become more and more difficult.
According to the content of the comics that Ma Le reads, among the Martian xenos, there should not be many people who can dig such a huge mountain, and the boulder he stuffed at the door is heavy enough. Staying here, it should be safe for the time being, in case it is really found to come to the door, Ma Le's perception field is not vegetarian, and the radar scanning method in a circle, although it is not accurate, but on this lifeless planet, if such a large creature appears, it will not be missed.
"I'm here to see how long it will take for these cockroaches to find here!" Ma Le sat down cross-legged, his heart turned to the sky, and continued to cultivate the new blazing sun internal force in his body.
Seven days passed at once, and sure enough, as Ma Le speculated, during this time, the activities of Martian xenomorphs were not frequent, but occasionally a few broke into the vicinity, and even noticed the boulder at the entrance of the cave, but they were powerless to move and destroy, and they did not stay long before leaving
Come to think of it, apart from a guy like Ma Le, whose real enhancement is so high, how many people can dig such a deep hole in the hard rock wall without being deprived of the reinforcement? Although this behavior is a bit tricky, it is still a manifestation of strength after all.
But this peaceful life will not last forever, and soon, more and more signs of life appear in Ma Le's perception radar, this time not the previous sporadic scouts, but the real big army!
Finally, in the early morning of the eighth day, these Martian xenos were assembled, and there were almost five or six hundred of them, and six of them had stronger vitality than the others, which should be special individuals!
Five or six hundred ordinary types whose attributes are close to the senior level, and six stronger special types, which are only used to deal with an ordinary level that has been deprived of strengthening, this formation is a bit big!
And just as the xenomorph army was assembled, Ma Le received a reminder that the first phase of the mission had been completed.
"Adventurer No. 10405 has managed to survive for seven days, and the first stage of the quest has been completed, and the reward can be freely distributed with 20 points of true attribute, which can only be distributed after leaving this world. Now, Adventurer Number 110405 can choose to return, or continue with the next Phase 2 mission. Regression, yes/no? ”
Ma Le naturally chooses no, and then the system continues to prompt.
"The second stage of the task is opened, survive to the tenth day, and after completion, you can freely distribute 30 points of real attributes, from now on, the adventurer's survival time is limited to zero point, every day of survival, the system rewards an additional 1 point to freely distribute real attributes, and you can get a chance to give up the task and return at zero hour, if you miss it, you can only wait until the next zero point comes! The timing follows the Martian rotation cycle! ”
"A little a day, not bad...... Ma Le nodded with satisfaction, then put away the perception radar, opened the perception field normally, and then packed up his things and put them on the off-road vehicle, with the front of the car facing the exit of the cave.
The Martian xenos outside began to move the boulders, these cockroaches are more than fifty times more powerful than humans, any one of them has several tons of strength, dozens of them gathered together to exert strength, and finally moved the boulder that Ma Le piled up at the door!
As soon as the entrance of the cave saw the light, Ma Le stepped on the accelerator of the off-road vehicle, the motor roared, the exhaust was swirling, and he rushed out of the cave with a whoosh!
The doorway was already full of Martian xenos, and for the sudden appearance of enemies, they were obviously ready to immediately take out their weapons, ropes and stones and start attacking Ma Le!
Tons of arm strength, coupled with the speed of pulling the rope, the stones thrown by these guys are not much better than cannonballs, but Ma Le is not so easy to hit, the engine of the off-road vehicle roared, and with the brake wheels, it did not directly crash into the encirclement, but drifted in place and turned in circles!
The rapidly spinning tires were stirred into dust, and Ma Le, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was not idle, holding the steering wheel with one hand, and holding the six-barreled Vulcan cannon with the other, and began to fan at the cockroach swarm!
Knock knock knock...... The sound of the cannon was heavy and dense, breaking the desolate silence on Mars, and the bullets were fired at three times the speed of sound, with great kinetic energy, and the cockroach people who hit them were smashed to pieces!
Thousands of health points, under such heavy firepower, can be so vulnerable?
Don't get me wrong, the six-barreled machine gun in Ma Le's hand is not the kind of six-barreled machine gun that often appears in movies and games, the kind that is generally the M214 rapid-fire machine gun, which is the lightest and smallest caliber man-portable version of the Vulcan family, with a 5.56mm caliber, an empty gun of 10 kg, and a bomb load of 1000 rounds, which can be said to be the most threatening and terrifying firepower among individual weapons!
But Ma Le's shot is different, this is an authentic aviation cannon, 20mm caliber, the basic weight is more than 110 kilograms, the total length is nearly two meters, it is not designed for human use, pure airborne weapons, can deal with armored targets, the power of a single shot is more than 300 points, the ideal rate of fire is 6000 rounds per minute, it is fired, even a tank can't bear it, not to mention the flesh and blood of the Martian xenomorph!
Compared to stones, Ma Le's side is a real cannonball, even if these bed bugs have tenacious vitality and are difficult to kill if they don't hit the vital point, but under such a terrifying firepower, all those who hit lost their combat effectiveness. And Ma Le saw the opportunity and found a gap and rushed out!
But at this moment, two stout black shadows stopped in front of him, these two Martian xenos were at least larger than the average type, their physique was extremely thick, and they also had three strands of white silk rope wrapped around each arm. Although the general type is already at the level of a bodybuilder compared to humans, in front of this stout type, it is as if ordinary people have met Schwarzenegger, and their thighs are not as thick as other people's arms!
Ma Le hurriedly turned the muzzle of the cannon, intending to kill the two monsters that stood in the way, but the two brothers and cockroaches suddenly became short and rushed under the wheels of Ma Le with an extremely high explosive speed!
Planning to wreck my car?! Ma Le saw the other party's intention and threw the Vulcan back to his seat, then jumped off the speeding off-road vehicle, supported the chassis with his hand, and threw the car out with a fierce force!
The two brothers and cockroaches didn't expect the target to disappear, and their eyes instinctively followed the flying off-road vehicle upward, and at this time, Ma Le on the ground had already rushed over, raised two fists, one punch at the other, and hit the lower esophageal ganglion, killing instantly!
Immediately afterwards, he jumped up with an arrow, caught up with the off-road vehicle in mid-air, caught it, landed steadily, turned over into the car, and drove away.
The system really doesn't give me an advantage...... Ma Le thought about it while driving.
According to the comics, the most common type of cockroaches is the general type, followed by the stout type just now, or rather, the standard name is the enhanced type. He had just gotten through their body fluids, and learned that it was a xenomorph that had overgrown due to too much nutrient intake, with a strength of 120 points, which was converted into perfect strength, which was more than twice that of the normal type, and the body was also extremely high, with 100 points. It's a tough one to deal with, but it doesn't have any special abilities. On average, there is almost one in every 100 general types.
And even rarer is the specialized type that has been transplanted from the human body, they may not be as strong as the enhanced type in terms of system and strength, but because they have been surgically transformed, they often have some special power, and the tactics are more diverse, which is very difficult to deal with! This kind of thing is relatively rare, and it doesn't appear very often unless it is against a specific enemy.
And the rarest is the leader of the Martian xenomorphs, the intelligent type! These xenos do not have a strong physique or special strength, but they have intelligence far beyond ordinary xenomorphs, or even humans, and have a strong ability to learn. This intelligent type is the core leader of the Martian xenomorph and the direction of the evolution of the race, and the entire Mars is only in single digits.
And if you can kill this intelligent type, you can definitely throw other xenos into chaos and help complete the mission! But it's a pity that I didn't see this type in the five or six hundred heterogeneous collective attacks just now!
