Chapter 9: The Return

After the mercenaries left, Qianyouliang and the others sat on the ground against the wall, and waited for the time to return.

There are three layers of solid steel gates to guard, and there is a laser defense channel outside the last layer of steel gates, which is very safe, at least in terms of the passage that those plot characters have to walk, this is definitely the safest place in the entire hive real yàn base, so Shengchun and the others can relax and not have to be so afraid.

"Shallow Ryūryō, you should have just discovered a way to activate the side quest." Liu Yan sat on the ground with his hands on his knees and said.

"Hmm." Asahiro nodded.

"What? You say that he found a way to unearth side quests? What is the method? Why didn't you say it sooner, so I didn't have a chance to earn reward points and side plots!! Zhao Jianwei heard Liu Yan say that Qianyouliang found a way to activate the side quest and immediately yelled at Qianyouliang, as if Qianyouliang deliberately didn't say it to him.

"Actually, it's not a secret.,As long as you change the plot, you can get a side quest reward.,I think it should be the main line that breaks the original plot to get a reward.,Simply put, the more you break the plot away from the original main line, the more rewards you'll get.,But because you destroy the plot, there's an unknown danger that comes with it.。 Shallow Yoryo explained.

"It's so simple, I should have thought of it a long time ago, why did he think of it, and I wouldn't have thought of it, I'm obviously the protagonist, why are the benefits all his, I can't get anything......" Zhao Jianwei whispered to himself after hearing the shallow and cool explanation.

Although Zhao Jianwei said very quietly, in this silent environment, Qian Youliang could still hear it, Qian Youliang looked at Zhao Jianwei's eyes with a glimmer of light, and Liu Yan frowned and glanced at Zhao Jianwei, and then moved his body in the direction of Qian Youliang.

While they were talking, a little girl's voice suddenly rang out in the room: "Two creepers are attacking the outermost gate, and the gate will remain sealed for forty seconds. ”

"Sure enough, the Lord God can't let us return so easily."

This thought flashed in Qianyouliang's heart, and he immediately said to the Flame Empress: "Flame Empress, hurry up and calculate how long we can hold out?" ”

The little girl's voice didn't sound again, and after waiting for a while, she suddenly pointed her pistol at the host and said, "Flame Empress, I know that your program is not to allow the T virus to spread, in other words, you want to kill any lifeform that may cause the spread of the virus, including us, right?" So now you can make a judgment, open the defense system to protect us, or let the crawlers outside rush in, but before you come in, I will smash your motherboard first, and then the whole hive will lose your control, do you think how many virus carriers will rush outside? Your mission will definitely not be completed. ”

The child's voice paused for a moment and finally rang out, "Can I ask?" Why keep struggling when you're all here, aren't you already planning to sacrifice yourselves? And your pistol is already out of bullets. ”

Qianyouliang smiled and said: "The computer can't question humans at will, even if you have wisdom, but don't forget that you are still a computer, besides, we are already here, and whether we die or not will not let the virus spread, right?" So why don't you protect us? ”

The Flame Empress's voice rang out again, "Well, I'll protect you." ”

As he spoke, the steel gate on the opposite side had been completely deformed, and the sharp and huge claws of the crawlers were really terrifying, and they actually tore apart the steel plates of more than ten centimeters, and with a loud bang, two creepers appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Huge bodies of several meters, creepers are covered in muscular red, they have no eyes, they seem to use heat sensing and smell to find creatures, their tongues can stretch out to a length of more than a meter, and the two huge front paws have evolved to become a pair of huge claws that cannot be described in words, their hardness is comparable to steel, maybe even more!

The two creepers looked towards the passageway, and then one of them pounced, and the other creeper followed closely behind, and with a loud bang, everyone felt the steel gate in front of them shake, this was their last line of defense against the creeper, and the creeper had already pounced on the steel gate in a single jump.

"Flame Empress!"

Somewhere in the passage flashed, a thin laser line quickly formed, and quickly slashed towards the two creepers, and the two creepers were about to pounce on the steel gate again, the laser line had already crossed them, two soft sounds, the laser line disappeared, and the two creepers also completely quieted, slowly, their huge bodies cracked from the middle, and finally the upper and lower bodies broke into two, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Qian Youliang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Liu Yan and Zhao Jianwei: "Let's go." ”

"Where to go? Isn't it safe here, are you even afraid of this, I despise you. Zhao Jianwei stretched out his middle finger to Qian Youliang and sneered.

"Don't forget, there's another episode where Kaplan will shut down the Flame Empress." Qian Youliang ignored Zhao Jianwei and walked in the direction where the mercenary left, while Liu Yan followed behind Qian Youliang.

Hearing Qianyouliang's words, Zhao Jianwei was stunned for a moment, and only after the backs of Qianyouliang and Liu Yan disappeared did he come back to his senses, and suddenly there was a sudden darkness in the entire host room, which startled Zhao Jianwei.

"Bang! Bang! The sound of the creeper banging on the door was heard, and he ran away.

"Wait for me, don't leave me, let me protect you!" Zhao Jianwei shouted as he ran.

Soon Zhao Jianwei caught up with Qian Youliang and Liu Yan, and Qian Youliang looked at Zhao Jianwei, who was sitting on the ground panting, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

"Roar!" The creeper's roar came from the dark passageway, and Ryo knew that the creeper had broken through the steel gate of the laser tunnel and was running towards them following their scent.

Asa Youliang raised his arm and watched as the countdown on his watch became less and less, and there was still one minute left.

"Don't stand here stupidly, the creepers are coming, run as hard as you can." Qian Youliang said to Liu Yan and ran towards the entrance of the passage with all his strength.

Seeing that Qian Youliang and Liu Yan ignored him and ran away by himself, Zhao Jianwei also stood up immediately.

When Zhao Jianwei ran around a corner, he found that Qian Youliang and Liu Yan were standing in front and did not run.

"Ha, are you not able to live without me as the protagonist." Zhao Jianwei gasped and laughed.

"There is no exit for idiots, the exit is blocked." Asa Youliang said while looking at the time on the main god's watch.

There are 6 seconds left until the return.

For 5 seconds, the creeper's roar is getting closer.

For 4 seconds, the creeper's claws slashed across the steel floor.

In 3 seconds, the creeper appeared hideously in front of Asa Youliang and the others.

In 2 seconds, Liu Yan and Zhao Jianwei screamed in horror.

In 1 second, the creeper's sharp claws swung towards Asahiro and the others, and Asahiro and the others closed their eyes in fear.

After 5 seconds, he looked at the scene in front of him blankly, he was standing on a huge empty platform, in the center of the platform was a huge ball of light, which provided light to the entire platform like the sun, and the big platform was boundless darkness in all directions, it was a kind of distant darkness that was so dark that there was not even a trace of light, but after looking at the darkness around him a few times, he didn't pay attention to those dark areas, but looked at the "main god" of the ball of light.

"Ahh Zhao Jianwei and Liu Yan were still yelling there.

"Alright, shut up, it's back." Asahiro said loudly to the two of them.
