Chapter 35 Rescue in the Line of Fire

DOOM is a first-person shooter game launched by Software in 1993 that was all the rage at the time. In 2005, Andrei Bakovia directed the film of the same name adapted from it, Doom.

The movie tells the story of the year 2145 A.D., when the Olduvai scientific research station on Mars was suddenly attacked by alien creatures, and the Martian fleet sent a special team to carry out a security mission.

In terms of production style, although this is a science fiction film, it makes extensive use of dark elements and takes the bloody thriller route.

There is hardly much plot to speak of in the whole movie, all the stories take place within six hours, almost all of them are about the story of the special squad looking for monsters, hunting and counter-hunting, and the overall style is generally similar to that of Alien 1.

This style is actually the least favorite of adventurers - from start to finish, they fight all the time, and there is barely time to catch their breath.

It also means that you have little time to think, no time to develop hidden quests, no time to plan for ......

In such an environment, strength is the only factor that determines everything.

But what if even the strength is limited?

―――――――――

When Shen Yi Honglang and the others walked through the portal, they found themselves in an empty hall.

As adventurers appeared one by one, the portal disappeared, and there were already thirty-six adventurers standing in the hall.

The Blood Emblem sounded again:

"Enter the world of the Slayer Mission, currently on the outskirts of the Olduvai Mars Institute. ”

"Mission Mode: Fireline Rescue Mode. Adventurers fight each other, damage is reduced by 25%, and there is no reward for killing other adventurers. The mission duration is four hours. ”

"Main Mission 1: Rescue all uninfected humans trapped in the Institute. Each adventurer must rescue at least one person and ensure their safety until the end of the mission. At the end of the mission, 3,000 Blood Points will be rewarded. For each additional person saved, an additional 3,000 points will be awarded. Mission failure, obliteration. ”

"Main character 2: Kill all the mutated creatures in the institute and sabotage their plans to go to Earth. This quest belongs to the whole quest, and after the quest ends, for each alien creature that survives, all will be deducted 100 blood points. ”

"Background: The RRTS, led by Saga, arrived at the institute two hours ago and issued a six-hour martial law. However, he didn't know that alien life had flooded the institute and taken control of the entire institute, and the lives of the team members were in danger. Portman, a member of the special forces team, secretly sends a signal for help to the base in disobeying Sagar's orders, and the United Aerospace Corporation decides to send a stronger force to solve the crisis (i.e., the adventurer team) and bring back research materials. However, they arrived a little later, as a large number of the base's survivors had been infected and become part of the Xenomorphs, while many more uninfected humans were on the verge of becoming infected. In addition, the alien creatures are planning to return to the Earth base......"

"Mission Tip: Don't let others doubt your identity, or you'll pay the price. ”

Seeing that the task was issued, there was a buzzing noise in the hall, and everyone was talking, obviously discussing the task.

According to the original plot, after confirming that they were in danger and killed half of their members, the Saga team fled back to Earth due to the alien, and also returned to Earth, where they launched a major battle.

But this time the plot clearly took a major turn. The alien life has not yet returned to Earth, but the Saga team is already trapped in the research institute.

What's next is up to the adventurer team.

King Kong frowned: "How could it be such a mission?"

The main quest two is good to say, but the key is the main quest one, which requires each adventurer to rescue at least one uninfected person and protect them to the end. No one knows if there are 36 uninfected people in this institute, and even if there are, because there is a reward for overcrowding, the more the merrier for others, but the consequence of the failure of the first main mission is still obliteration, which means that the competition must exist.

The end of not being able to work together is that the adventurers have to face not only the attacks of the aliens, but also the attacks from the adventurers.

Hong Lang also muttered: "And how can we tell if humans are infected or not?"

Obviously, this is also a problem.

Zhou Yiyu looked at the gate leading to the institute and muttered, "Damn, you can't drive in this place." ”

The complex internal environment limits his greatest strengths.

Only Shen Yi frowned and didn't know what he was thinking.

Gently glanced at him: "What are you thinking?"

Shen Yi woke up like a dream, and said "ah": "Oh, I'm wondering about that task prompt...... Don't let others doubt your identity, or you will pay the price...... What does that mean?"

Gentle thought about it and shook her head: "I don't understand, but now is not the time to discuss this, you see, someone is going to start acting." ”

Not far away, several adventurers had already begun to walk towards the passage. Obviously, from there, everyone will go all the way to the institute and officially start the mission.

Someone is still shouting, "Please wait, we should have a discussion before we start the mission." I suggest that all adventurers do not compete for rescue targets, that will only make us kill each other, and we should ......"

No one paid any attention to him.

Everyone understands the truth, but it's too difficult to do.

Now the situation is that instead of discussing how to assign here, it is better to go and carry out the task immediately. Four hours is far from a lot of time, and no one dares to waste it. As for fair distribution, the strong are unwilling, the weak are not qualified, and there will be no peace until the strength and weakness are confirmed through battle.

There are eight doors leading to the institute in the hall, located in eight directions around the hall.

The 36 adventurers walked around one after another, and even the people who shouted before saw that no one was paying attention to him, and they also left in a huff, and finally only Shen Yi and the other six people were left in the hall.

"Boss!" Hong Lang glanced at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi said lightly: "Thirty people except us, a total of 21 people in the three teams, and 9 scattered personnel. Three of the teams walked in three directions: up, left, and left. Nine scattered people, three down, two right center, two right up, two right down. ”

Saying that, he smiled slightly: "And there is no one to go to the left, Yiyu, you and Luo Hao go in that direction." Hong Lang, you go to the middle right direction, King Kong goes to the upper right direction, gentleness goes to the lower right, and I go to the bottom. We split up. ”

"Understood!" Everyone was about to leave, when Shen Yi suddenly said, "Wait." ”

He suddenly summoned twenty soldiers, including Frost: "Bring three soldiers with each of you, and give them as much as possible if there is a battle, and don't shoot if you can." If the situation is critical, try not to use skills if possible. ”

"Why?" the crowd was puzzled.

Shen Yi shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know why, but I always feel that there is something wrong with that task prompt." To be on the safe side, try not to make yourself too conspicuous. ”

Everyone looked at each other and said, "Understood." ”

Kafka, who had healing skills, was assigned to King Kong, Ralph, who had strong melee abilities, was assigned to Zhou Yiyu and Fatty, and Fesse, who had strong defense and self-harm ability, was assigned to Gentle.

Seeing that the others were leaving, and Shen Yi was still left with Frost, Arias, Dabinit, Evans, and a fifth-level elite soldier, Shen Yi turned around and walked towards the passage below.

Perhaps due to time constraints, everyone moved quickly.

It was only a few minutes of delay, and the three adventurers who had entered earlier had already run away.

Shen Yizhi was not too anxious, and walked into the passage step by step, and by the way, he also observed the environment here.

The entire research institute is a huge honeycomb-like building, with the central/central (your sister, this word is also harmonious?) transmission hall as the center, expanding to the surrounding areas, distributed genetic research institutions, advanced weapons research institutions and other scientific laboratories, as well as related logistics facilities.

Shen Yi found that he had entered a logistics area, and almost all of them were staff's bedrooms along the way, but unfortunately they were all empty.

After walking for a while, Shen Yi opened the team channel: "There is good news, do you want to hear it?"

"What's the good news?" everyone asked.

"There should be over three hundred staff members in the institute instead of 79 as in the original story. This means that there is a good chance that there will be more than 36 uninfected people, but at the same time, we will face far more monsters than in the original story. ”

"How do you know?"

"I'm in the back of house now, surrounded by bedrooms, numbered bedrooms, the maximum number is over 300, but unfortunately it's all empty. ”

"You're in luck. The crowd laughed.

In the original plot, all the stories take place in the research room, the laboratory, and the back of office.

King Kong replied, "I'm in the equipment center, and there's a lot of cutting-edge equipment here, and I really want to move it all back...... Nothing has been found yet. ”

Gentle also replied, "It seems that I am lucky, I seem to be walking on the road to the research laboratory." But there are no signs of battle ahead, there are no rescuers, and there are no monsters, this girl is walking alone, don't you plan to come and stay with me for a while, my dear?"

Shen Yi replied: "Don't worry, there will be monsters who will open their bloody mouths and beg you for a kiss." ”

“...... Bastard!"

Then there was the flood / shouted: "Lao Tzu's luck is called decline." Guess where I am? Food pantry, and cafeteria! Hell, do you know where I'm standing? A pile of potatoes! It's a potato!"

The fat man said happily: "It seems that we are lucky, we are in the weapons storage room." ”

"Weapons?" everyone's ears pricked up.

Hong Lang even shouted: "Is there a BFG?"

BFG, the most powerful weapon in the world of the DOOM Slayer. Someone once got their hands on this weapon, and it was said to be as powerful as an S-class weapon.

Zhou Yiyu smiled at Hong Lang's question: "You think beautifully, all of them are ordinary weapons, and they are all unidentified, let alone unlimited bullets, and the ammunition capacity is limited." The only good thing is probably that there are no prerequisites for using these guns. ”

"What did you say?" Shen Yi hurriedly asked, "You said those guns have no conditions for use?"

"Well, but the power is average, probably about D-level to C-level, we don't need it at all. Zhou Yiyu was a little strange.

Shen Yi had already ordered: "No, immediately take all the weapons in the weapon room and let the summoned soldiers send them to the Honglang King Kong!"

Everyone was stunned, and Hong Lang shouted, "Boss, what are you kidding? What am I doing with that?"

Shen Yi didn't care about him: "If you don't need it, put it first, Yiyu will do as I say, empty all the guns, and put the ones that can't be taken away in the space first, and don't leave any of them." ”

"Understood. Zhou Yiyu and the fat man hurriedly commanded and summoned the soldiers to start taking their guns from the weapons room.

To be honest, these guns are really mediocre in power, and they are not identification items, so they can't be brought back to the city. Even if there is an appraisal scroll, it is not a good deal to go back to the appraisal. If other adventurers see it, most of them won't care.

"What are you worried about?" asked Gentle.

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment and replied, "I don't know...... I can only say that I am prepared. Maybe I won't find out until we meet the first monster, or the first person to be saved. But until then, I don't want to miss out on everything that might help us. ”

At this moment, a shout of "roar" suddenly came from King Kong's side.

"There's movement ahead!" King Kong whispered to the channel, and the man rushed over like an arrow.
