After that meeting, the members of the Central Continent team were each given their own rest quarters.
Since this area was under military jurisdiction, there was no question of luxury rooms; furthermore, the Central Continent team was numerous.
Thus, when arranging the quarters, they simply cleared out a large room for them.
Lin Juntian had been quiet on the plane; perhaps the emergency had scared him, or perhaps he possessed enough self-awareness to know his weakness in both strength and intellect, which kept him from speaking out.
But who knew that once safety was assured, he became garrulous, constantly trying to egg everyone into abandoning this military base, ideally finding some mountainous region or forest to hide away in until the ordeal was over.
The veterans of the Central Continent team didn't mock Lin Juntian; after all, save for a few extremely abnormal individuals, they had all gone through such phases.
Only those who survived the baptism of fire and blood were truly members of the Reincarnation Squad...
The current Lin Juntian was less like a member of the Reincarnation Squad and more like an ordinary person thrust into the world of reincarnation.
Zheng Zha looked at Lin Juntian and spoke seriously: "We are now in a situation where it's impossible to back out.
You must understand that this horror movie world isn't just about facing alien attacks; we must also contend with another team ambushing us from the shadows.
No place in this world is truly safe anymore.
If all you hope for is to sneak by and survive...
I regret to say that such a thought might make you lose even your last chance of survival." Lin Juntian's face looked quite grim.
These successive experiences always made him feel utterly weak, and the sense of powerlessness when facing danger nearly consumed him, which is why this man was trying every means possible to evade such danger, though he didn't know that the more one avoids danger, the more dangerous it becomes...
After saying this, Zheng Zha turned his gaze toward Chu Xuan and Xiao Honglv.
But neither seemed normal at the moment.
Chu Xuan was still silently fiddling with his laptop, while Xiao Honglv sat there staring blankly.
These two strategists of the Central Continent team had both turned into dull figures, a sight that genuinely gave Zheng Zha a headache. "Chu...
Xiao Honglv, analyze the current situation.
There are about two days left until the entire horror movie ends.
Analyze it for us, whether we should attack or hide," Zheng Zha said, looking at Xiao Honglv.
Xiao Honglv was sitting there dazed, lightly pinching a few strands of hair near his forehead with one hand, while the other hand was unconsciously tracing patterns on the table.
Only after Zheng Zha asked him twice did the youth look up at everyone with a faint smile.
(...It's time for the scheme to begin.
Since Chu Xuan has chosen such a perilous method for this horror movie world...
then don't blame me for indulging my own willfulness once.
The danger level of this layout...
I just hope that when we return safely, Zheng Zha won't hit me...) Xiao Honglv gently plucked a strand of hair and then spoke: "Of course, we must attack.
The best defense is the best offense...
Besides, don't you all feel that this horror movie world is the perfect opportunity to enhance our team's overall strength? If we miss this horror movie, we will deeply regret it." Everyone immediately looked at him.
The little boy chuckled, first turning to Zhang Heng: "Zhang Heng, when you shot that flying saucer earlier, did you feel the saucer's shield activating?" Zhang Heng was stunned, then nodded: "It did activate, but it couldn't completely withstand the power of the Three Arrows Burst Arrow combined with the Enchanted Arrow.
If we attacked again, I could completely destroy an ordinary flying saucer...
but that giant fortress is still beyond my capability.
Even if I could penetrate its shield, I doubt a single small Enchanted Arrow could do anything to that fortress..." "No, no," Xiao Honglv waved his hand dismissively. "I wasn't asking you to shoot the giant fortress.
What I meant is that the shield is almost omni-capable; it blocks attacks from high-tech weaponry as well as attacks from magical or legendary weaponry..." Zheng Zha frowned and said, "But that's nothing to boast about.
Any C-grade defensive item can do both those things, and haven't Zero Point and Zhang Heng shot down so many of them? It's just a pity we didn't get a single Reward Point.
The reward distribution in this horror movie is truly too stingy..." Xiao Honglv shook his head, then snapped his fingers: "That's just what you assumed, or perhaps what the current situation is obscuring the truth of...
If that shield were truly that weak, do you think the giant alien fortress could withstand a nuclear strike? You must remember that in the original plot, the nuclear strike left the giant fortress completely unharmed.
A shield system like that, frankly speaking, cannot compare even to A-grade or even Double-A grade defensive items.
That shield is robust enough, isn't it?" Zheng Zha still frowned: "That's still nothing to be proud of; it just means the giant fortress has infinite energy...
Are you suggesting we obtain the giant fortress's energy system?" "Exactly!" Xiao Honglv snapped his fingers again, chuckling: "That's precisely what I mean.
Because the Dragon Crystal Necklace we possess has two major drawbacks: one, it only defends against high-tech weaponry, putting us at a severe disadvantage when the enemy engages in close-quarters combat or uses magical/legendary attacks; and two, the energy stored by the Dragon Crystal Necklace is simply too scarce.
Even if you fully charge it, it can only withstand a high-tech weapon attack for a short time, and against a powerful high-tech weapon, it might even be destroyed in an instant..." "If we get our hands on the alien shield system, its technology can completely fix the shortcomings of the Dragon Crystal Necklace, at least doubling the stored energy.
This is something we absolutely must obtain.
If we miss this chance, we will never have access to this technology again, and our strength will be lower when we fight the Demon Reincarnation Squad next time..." Zheng Zha was about to retort, but upon hearing this, he immediately fell silent.
This was, in fact, his Achilles' heel: the next battle with the Demon Reincarnation Squad...
Although he had always anticipated that fight, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great; one engagement might lead to the death of every team member, including himself...
A battle against the Demon Reincarnation Squad, the strongest team in this reincarnation world—that was a fight that required a resolve to die...
But wasn't that too selfish? It was a battle he anticipated, yet it would cost the lives of his comrades...
This thought had always left Zheng Zha deeply conflicted, so he both anticipated another fight with his clone and wished that battle wouldn't arrive too soon.
On the other hand, he hoped the team could become stronger, much stronger.
Even if deaths were unavoidable, he wanted his partners to survive as long as possible... "I understand," Zheng Zha nodded. "We must obtain both the shield technology and the alien energy storage technology! But how do we acquire them? Even if we land on the alien headquarters in outer space, I'm afraid..." Chu Xuan, who had been silently present, suddenly placed his laptop on the desk, then said calmly, "Connect to this laptop; it will automatically download the technology regarding..." When saying the word 'technology,' a fanatical gleam shot from the eyes of this emotionless man.
(This guy...
perhaps even entering a mental demon state cannot change his utterly perverse nature? And the way he handles it so smoothly, did he program that sequence just to steal alien technology?) Zheng Zha felt a headache coming on, but he took the laptop anyway, asking, "Does this carry a virus too? Do we have to plant this virus in the alien headquarters like in the original movie plot?" "En..." Chu Xuan nodded and said no more.
Xiao Honglv picked up where he left off: "This is only one part of the technology we need to acquire; I think Chu Xuan has already considered the second type of technology we must get from the aliens, which is even more important than the first: the search system." "A system that doesn't rely on the mental power controller, and can even bypass the mental power controller's shielding for ultra-long-range searches, with accuracy comparable to that of a mental power controller...
Any team that obtains this technology, even if their own aptitude prevents them from using it skillfully, will essentially be in an invincible position.
Do you understand? We must go to the alien headquarters to obtain these two types of technology, and only then engage the West Sea Team and capture their mental power controllers alive." Cheng Xiao suddenly interjected from the side: "But doesn't that bring us back to square one? How do we get to the alien headquarters? Fly there?" "Yes, fly there," Xiao Honglv grinned, gently tugging another strand of hair from his forehead.
The youth then continued: "In fact, besides the intact flying saucer at Area 51, there is another saucer we can find.
Although the possibility of plot changes exists, according to the 'Main God's' usual pattern, it wouldn't completely erase the survival hope of an entire team.
Therefore, there is an over eighty percent chance that this saucer exists...
Do you all remember the Black pilot from the original movie plot?" Everyone was stunned.
Qi Tengyi reacted the fastest and immediately said, "The Black pilot? The Black pilot who flew the saucer to the alien headquarters? Right! Do you all remember? In the original plot, he did manage to bring down a saucer.
He used the ejection system of the fighter jet to block the saucer's visual sensors, and then the saucer crashed into a cliff.
That Black pilot then dragged the alien away from the saucer.
The original plot didn't mention the subsequent whereabouts of that saucer, but that saucer was definitely undamaged!" "That's right," Xiao Honglv said seriously. "That is our only hope...
We must seize that saucer, fly to the alien headquarters, and find those few pieces of technology.
That is our mission for this horror movie!"
