Before Zheng Zha could speak, Zhang Heng suddenly interjected, "No way.

If we follow the original movie plot and take nuclear weapons into the alien headquarters, they won't have any shielding systems inside, right? Wouldn't that allow us to easily destroy them? If you talk like that, the aliens are the truly foolish ones." Xiao Honglu tugged at his hair and laughed, saying as he did so, "It's not that simple.

That's just how it was portrayed in the film.

At least based on what has already happened, the aliens' technology is far more advanced than in the movie plot.

I refuse to believe they wouldn't detect nuclear weapons.

Even if they couldn't detect them, unless a low-yield nuclear weapon hits a specific energy storage site, it probably couldn't annihilate the entire alien headquarters...

its volume is no smaller than a continent.

Another issue is, if they possess the self-awareness I mentioned, do you think they wouldn't be curious about our existence?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Zhang Heng continued to press, "Our human existence? Why be curious? Haven't they already captured many humans for experimentation?" "Not humans..." Xiao Honglu shook his head. "But us." "Us? Why?" Zhang Heng asked again.

Suddenly, Ming Yanwei, who had been silent beside them, sneered.

She said coldly, "Are you afraid the aliens will kill you? So afraid that you keep asking questions, only to abandon everyone else and tremble alone somewhere?" Zhang Heng froze, then offered a wry smile.

He stopped paying attention to what Xiao Honglu was saying and quietly walked toward the door.

Behind him, Ming Yanwei remained seated, her cold laughter echoing.

Those who knew the details between the two sighed, while those who didn't were somewhat bewildered, feeling that this woman, Ming Yanwei, was perhaps being overly harsh.

Xiao Honglu ignored the friction between Zhang Heng and Ming Yanwei and continued speaking to himself, "I've been thinking—how exactly did the aliens destroy Area 51? Logically, Area 51 should be a blind spot for them.

Before their saucer appeared there, they shouldn't have known about that location.

Even if they did know, they would treat it as nothing more than an ordinary military base...

The only possibility is that someone leaked the existence of Area 51, and simultaneously leaked the fact that a complete alien saucer was stored there.

That's why the aliens preemptively destroyed Area 51, and even sent saucers afterward to pursue Air Force One.

This is what I believe." "Then analyzing from this point, to know the existence of Area 51, to know its importance, and to know about our presence...

I believe another team leaked this series of intelligence.

So, whether their thoughts were stolen by the aliens or they told the aliens directly, it demonstrates that the aliens have their own operational consciousness; they are not merely rigid NPCs...

Similarly, since they are aware of us, do you think they might be curious about us?" At this point, Xiao Honglu spread both his hands open: "What are we in the context of this world? Or rather, what are the members of our Reincarnation Squad to the beings in the various horror movie worlds? Are we creatures in a box? Or creatures outside the box? Or perhaps neither? Might the aliens be interested in creatures outside the box? I believe they definitely would be...

and unfortunately, we are the creatures outside the box." Zheng Zha exhaled a breath and said, "I understand.

You mean the aliens are likely to capture us for experimentation, rather than destroying us outright in outer space.

Perhaps this is also because they underestimated our power.

Is that right?" Xiao Honglu nodded. "Exactly.

First, underestimation of our strength.

Second, they would attack the occupants of the saucer as soon as it entered...

So, the next team division needs careful consideration." Using the saucer for a surprise attack was a necessary evil for the squad.

After all, the saucer wasn't very large, and even if it were bigger, it couldn't accommodate more than ten people like a transport plane or airliner.

Moreover, as Xiao Honglu had stated, if the saucer safely entered the alien headquarters, a furious battle would immediately erupt, leaving no energy to protect the non-combatants.

Therefore, this squad division was actually protecting the majority of people. "Regardless of whether this saucer is dangerous or not, I must go..." Zheng Zha pondered for a moment and then told everyone, "My combat power is crucial to the team, but losing me won't cause the team to vanish; it will just make things tougher later.

So, I must go.

Additionally, Imhotep, I hope you can join us.

Pure explosion attacks, I imagine, should be ineffective against you.

And even if the saucer explodes, you can survive in space for two or three days and then smoothly return to the 'Main God' space..." "Two people down, two more needed..." Chu Xuan, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, pointing to Yang Xuelin seated beside him.

Zheng Zha looked at him in surprise, momentarily unsure how to respond.

Xiao Honglu was the quickest to react, clapping his hands together. "Four people settled.

The saucer space should still be enough.

Zhang Heng, you go with them too." (Something is wrong...

Chu Xuan and Xiao Honglu seem to be hiding something from me.

Why must Yang Xuelin come along? Is it because of her advantage in computer programming? But Chu Xuan should be sufficient, shouldn't he? Why bother bringing an extra person? Could it be that we need to split up once we reach the alien headquarters? But even so, they shouldn't bring a newcomer...) Zheng Zha grew increasingly suspicious.

The most critical point was that even if Chu Xuan designed the layout, or if Xiao Honglu did, it was fine.

Both were capable individuals, though Chu Xuan held the edge.

But that fellow was too vile; he often left people feeling worse than dead, so Zheng Zha ultimately trusted Xiao Honglu more.

But the key issue was...

this time, these two were conspiring to set up this situation together—it was simply too strange.

There must be a conspiracy...

there must be a plot afoot! "Fine, I won't think about these things anymore.

Let the five of us go: myself, Imhotep, Chu Xuan, Zhang Heng, and Yang Xuelin.

The rest of you stay here at the military base, or keep a close watch on the surroundings.

If a large-scale alien ground unit or air unit attacks, you must evacuate this base as quickly as possible, understood?" Xiao Honglu glanced at everyone before addressing the remainder.

Chu Xuan showed no change, calmly returning to fiddle with his laptop.

Xiao Honglu, however, looked quite guilty; he lowered his head, pulling at the hair on his forehead, his downward-cast face etched with a wry, bitter smile.

Regardless, after deducing the potential changes in the aliens' strategy and roughly dividing the teams, the U.S.

military indeed managed to find the surviving Black pilot.

This was an individual Zheng Zha had asked the President of the United States to help locate.

Since it concerned combat against aliens, the U.S.

military searched with maximum efficiency and successfully found a surviving pilot.

He had even captured a live alien, but he had gone to a different military base, and the alien had died en route to that base.

Subsequently, relying on the Black pilot’s description, Zheng Zha and the others located the cliff on a map.

The U.S.

military promptly provided military helicopters, and one hour after receiving the news, Zheng Zha and the others arrived at the cliff site. "Xiao Honglu, are you secretly plotting something against me?" While still on the helicopter, Zheng Zha couldn't help but ask Xiao Honglu.

Xiao Honglu jumped at the question, laughing nervously in an attempt to cover up, but he saw that Zheng Zha remained unmoved, staring directly at him.

However, this young man was unexpectedly resilient; no matter how Zheng Zha looked at him, he kept his mouth shut, which left Zheng Zha quite helpless. "Listen to me," Zheng Zha said. "Why pick up that most detestable habit of Chu Xuan's? Do you know, every time he finishes setting up a scheme, right up until the end of the horror world, I feel like beating him up...

Xiao Honglu, even though you are young, I have always regarded you as a comrade-in-arms fighting alongside me.

Can't you tell me anything? It's fine, we can discuss any issue.

Just tell me, what exactly are you hiding from me...

And why did Chu Xuan insist on having this girl accompany us?" Xiao Honglu opened his mouth as if to speak, but ultimately said nothing, remaining silent.

After a long pause, he slowly said, "Trust me...

You always trust Chu Xuan so much; try trusting me just once...

Don't worry, although it might be dangerous, I am confident that no major accidents will occur, and I designed this based on the strategic flow Chu Xuan left me...

This is the only layout I could think of.

Trust me!" Zheng Zha didn't know what else to say.

Although there were many aspects that made him uneasy, since Xiao Honglu had put it this way, refusing to trust him now would hardly qualify as being comrades...

So, he would trust him this once; after all, he hadn't been as truly malicious as Chu Xuan yet.

(Although that’s what I’m saying...

I still feel like this time I'm going to get severely messed with.) No matter what Zheng Zha was thinking, the helicopter soon arrived over the cliff, and they spotted the perfectly intact saucer in a highly visible spot.

As everyone disembarked from the aircraft, simultaneously, at an extreme altitude in the sky, the three members of the West Sea Squad awoke. "The Central Continent Team has arrived...

Check out the personnel on the saucer, Captain Reinhardt.

It’s time to show your fighting prowess." The man with closed eyes twitched the corner of his mouth, and as he spoke, his spiritual power extended toward the saucer below, instantly enveloping everyone from the Central Continent Team within his scanning range.

Reinhardt and the middle-aged man simultaneously stood up...

In their minds, battle was imminent! Jump to
