) Everyone stared blankly at Li Shuaixi, this ordinary-looking youth with ordinary physical strength and ordinary expertise—in short, a completely useless young man. If Chu Xuan hadn't mentioned him, no one would have specifically remembered him; he was as ordinary as air.

Li Shuaixi paused for a moment, then his face suddenly flushed red as he shouted: "Why me? Why should it be me? There are so many people here, and everyone wants to survive this horror movie safely. Why must I be the one to die? You want me dead, right? If there is one less person to share the food here, you can all live a little longer, so you want me dead, don't you?" Chu Xuan glanced at him silently: "No, I don't mean for you to go to your death. Although the danger of being bait is indeed huge, you are the most suitable candidate for bait. Everyone here is stronger than you. Zhang Jie, Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha—the three of them are veterans who have survived horror movies. I can plan all subsequent actions. Zero Point's close combat and sniping skills are outstanding. Bawang is proficient with many firearms, possibly including those in the merchant ship's armory. So, tell me, what use are you to us?" Li Shuaixi lowered his head and remained silent, but his face grew redder and redder, veins bulging on his hands. Chu Xuan then said lightly: "Under normal circumstances, everyone has their own talents. I would never measure someone by numbers and abilities—to put it plainly, I would never be this utilitarian. But you must understand our current situation; we are fighting death. Even the slightest mistake could result in all of us dying here! You are the superfluous one among us. Therefore, if you want the acceptance and equal treatment of our main force, you must show us your utility. Otherwise, what difference is there between you and those seven dead men still outside the quarantine wall?" Zheng Zha finally couldn't hold back and said loudly: "Impossible! I don't agree with what you're saying. I was an ordinary person when I first entered. It was only after enhancements that I gained my current skills. Why is Li Shuaixi extra? Just give him a few more horror movies, and he too will become a reliable partner!" Chu Xuan remained calm: "But... does he have that chance? To be precise, do any of us have a chance to survive this horror movie? If we had the same reward points and physical enhancements, the six of us would be far stronger than him. Also, don't even think about taking his place. Everyone has a part they are responsible for. You are our greatest hope for surviving this horror movie. Do you really want to save one person only to let all of us die?" Zheng Zha was extremely angry. He himself was extremely afraid of death, especially after he gained something to care about, making it imperative that he live. Likewise, he could better understand the feeling of directly facing death and terror. Even with his physical condition, he barely escaped death. If Li Shuaixi, an ordinary person, faced the Alien, wouldn't he have not even a sliver of hope? Zhang Jie quickly restrained the increasingly agitated Zheng Zha, urgently saying: "Let's stick to the old rules, let's vote. That's the fairest way... Zheng Zha! Don't act on impulse. If you don't consider our lives, what about Lori's? If we die, our creations will disappear with us! What exactly are you trying to do?" Zheng Zha trembled all over, finally lowering his head and sitting down weakly. Chu Xuan sighed and said softly: "Then let's start the vote now. Those who agree to my plan, please raise your hands. The minority yields to the majority."

The result was five votes in favor and two against. Li Shuaixi's fate was thus decided: either obey the plan and act as bait to earn the team's recognition, or leave the team immediately, getting not a drop of food or water, and simultaneously losing the team's protection.

Li Shuaixi's demeanor had become extremely agitated. Zero Point and Bawang stood silently beside Chu Xuan. Everyone thought he was about to explode, but unexpectedly, the young man took several deep breaths and gradually calmed down. He looked at Chu Xuan with a venomous expression and said, "Fine, I'll be the bait. Just as you all wish, I will definitely be the bait!" Seeing the venom in his eyes sent a chill down everyone's spines. Zheng Zha didn't see all this; he kept his head down in silence, walking to a remote corner of the control room after the vote and sitting there silently.

After a while, Zhan Lan sought him out. The small woman sat beside him, unsure of what to say. It was he who spoke first: "Zhan Lan, you're also terrified of dying, aren't you?" Zhan Lan paused: "Uh... yeah, I'm very afraid to die."

Zheng Zha spoke with his head down: "I'm terrified to die too. Everyone is afraid... No one here is truly safe, so why must the danger be pushed onto someone else? The remaining people only gain temporary safety. Whoever is more competent for the task should be the one to complete it..." Zhan Lan interrupted him seriously: "I think Chu Xuan is absolutely right. If this were a normal situation, what you said would indeed be reasonable and should be followed. Everyone has their own strengths, and people shouldn't be measured by numbers and abilities. But what we are facing now is not a normal situation; we are facing death... Why should we shelter someone completely useless without compensation?" Zheng Zha fell silent again. After a long pause, he finally murmured: "...I can't refute it. Yes, maybe you and Chu Xuan are right, but I still hope everyone can unite, that everyone can survive as much as possible, rather than the strong oppressing the weak. If we encountered the same situation in our first horror movie, how would we feel? Wouldn't we resent everyone, resent the world?" Zhan Lan sighed and said no more, sitting silently with Zheng Zha. A few minutes later, they suddenly heard a gasp not far away. They exchanged glances and rushed towards where the others were gathered.

When they arrived, everyone was staring intently at the big screen on the monitoring platform. They quickly looked over and saw four trembling figures walking on the screen: two pot-bellied middle-aged men plus a white-collar man and woman. After the four passed, they were shocked to see a mature, pitch-black Alien following behind them.

Zheng Zha quickly asked: "What happened? Why didn't that Alien attack them?" Chu Xuan pondered without speaking. Zhan Lan, however, touched her forehead: "Is it because... reproduction?" The only reproductive entity among the Aliens is the Queen, and for the Alien larvae to grow into maturity, living hosts are required. This might be why the Alien didn't kill the four people on the screen.

Chu Xuan nodded silently: "Yes, it must be for reproduction. The bait mission must be carried out as soon as possible, otherwise, in a few days... we will face... nine Aliens!" Jump to
