Lan and Zero arrived outside the command room.
Although they didn't encounter any aliens along the way, Lan was very worried. The queen should be very powerful, and if the mutant was on their side…the consequences would be unimaginable.
Calm down, calm down. Since I've already reached this point, I have to do what I can first.] Lan patted her face to calm herself down.
After she calmed down, Lan nodded at Zero, signaling him to get ready. Zero gripped the gun in his hand tightly. The moment the door opened, he pointed the gun at the command room and quickly scanned the environment. Lan leaned against the wall and observed the situation.
The command room wasn't very big, and one could see everything with one glance. Although it was a little dark, it was certain that the two of them did not find anything that might be related to aliens.
Lan's heart sank. It seemed like the mutant would appear on the other side. If that was the case…she couldn't help but feel anxious. She wanted to finish the work here as soon as possible and go inform them.
In the middle of the command room is the captain's seat, the operation panel…Ah, I got it! Then, the password…Lan operated in a panic. Due to the panic in her heart, she made several mistakes in her operation. Fortunately, in the end, they still heard the voice of the Lord God that had not changed for ten thousand years.
"You have successfully removed the self-detonation sequence. You have received a rank D reward. You are rewarded with 2000 points.”
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
On the other side, Jie patted Yang Tian's shoulder when he heard the Overlord's voice.""Look, they're fine. The explosion sequence has been deactivated.”
Yang Tian nodded, but he still felt uneasy.?Could it be that this mission was really arranged by the Main God to obtain rewards? [The Lord God wouldn't arrange for a so-called mutant to play hide-and-seek with us. If it's not on their side, then…]
Xuan pushed up his glasses."It seems that they didn't encounter any mutants on their side. If that's the case, the mutants will definitely appear at the Queen's place.”
Everyone's hearts sank, and the excitement they had when they heard the reward disappeared. This is a mutant, and there's also a queen. Are they really going to wipe us out?
Zheng scratched his head when he saw the tense atmosphere."No matter what, we should continue to move forward. If we don't kill the queen, we will only be wiped out by negative points when the time is up! If we were to face the Queen and that mutant, at least we still have a chance of winning, right?”
Everyone thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. They could only brace themselves and continue moving forward.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Lan looked back at Zero after confirming that she had received the reward points. Zero shook his head, indicating that he didn't find any mutants.
Lan gritted her teeth." If that's the case, the mutant shouldn't be here. God wouldn't arrange for a mutant to play hide-and-seek with us, so it must be with the queen!" Let's go help them." With that, he got up and prepared to leave the command room.
Neither of them noticed that a shadow had appeared above their heads.
Zero had been a killer for a long time, so he was always on high alert. Even though he hadn't found the mutant for a long time, he believed that the mutant might not be here. However, he didn't let down his guard. He always thought that after the mission was completed, it was the time when he needed to be the most vigilant. This habit had saved him several times, and this time was no exception.
The moment he walked out of the door, Zero felt a strong sense of danger. He didn't hesitate and immediately rolled forward, aiming his gun behind him. Lan saw Zero's action and knew something must have happened. She wasn't as good as Zero. Before she could react, she was hit hard on the back and was sent flying. Lan endured the pain and turned around to confirm what had happened.
The aberrations that appeared in her eyes were very different from the ones she had encountered before. This alien was only about half the height of a human. Its entire body was pitch-black, but it gave off a foggy feeling.
Its shell was dull, but it gave off a gentle and healthy feeling. Its tongue didn't have teeth like other aberrations, but it had a black metallic luster. Its four limbs didn't look strong, but the hooked claws on it made people shudder. Especially the tail of this alien, it was almost twice the length of this alien (excluding the tail)!
The alien was just standing in front of them, but it gave them a terrifying pressure. Lan felt like the air around her had frozen. She felt suffocated. [Are you going to die?] She thought in a panic.
Zero didn't think too much and fired. The mutant nimbly dodged to the side and casually hit him with its tail, sending him flying into the wall beside Lan.
Lan panicked when she saw Zero couldn't hit the mutant. [What should I do? It's too fast. Zero probably can't hit it. And I…am I a burden again…] Lan saw Zero dodging a few shots easily. She looked at herself and closed her eyes sadly.
In the past, it was often said that when people were about to die, they would recall their most precious memories. Lan had the same feeling now. Her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, her love for him, the pain and sadness when he passed away…All of this was getting more and more blurry. The other face was getting clearer. She recalled the scenes she had seen since she met Yang Tian. The first time she had helped him, the awkward hug, the panic she felt when she saw him in danger, the sweetness she felt when she felt his concern…
[I don't want to die…We agreed to live together. How can I die like this…I don't want to die!]] Lan opened her eyes firmly. She felt something breaking inside her. If someone looked into her eyes, they would find that her eyes were silvery-white, and her pupils were so weak that they were almost invisible.
Lan felt like she could see the whole world. Zero's shooting, the Alien's dodging, the bullets in the air, everything was clearly displayed in front of her.
[I can see it! Was this what Yang Tian meant by telepathy? It was very strange. [But how do I tell Zero? Words are definitely not enough. It's too slow and I can't explain it clearly. What should I do?] While they were thinking, they suddenly saw the alien dodge Zero's attack and pounce on them.
"Be careful!" Lan pushed Zero away and fell backward. At this moment, Zero seemed to feel something and shot the alien in the head. The bullet embedded itself in the alien's skull, but it did not cause fatal damage. The mutant seemed to be frightened by Zero's attack. It quickly retreated to its original position, thinking about something.
"Zero, are you okay?" Lan asked,"How did you hit it?"”
Zero looked at Lan with a strange look, especially Lan's eyes."The moment you pushed me, I realized that I could clearly see everything around me, the trajectory of the bullets, and the movements of the aliens. You…What did you do?"
Lan was stunned. He can see it too? Then why did he miss before? No…the point is, the moment I pushed him?]
"What about you now? Can you still see it?" Lan asked anxiously. Zero raised his hand and fired, but the xenomorph dodged it again.
"No, I can't see the alien's movements clearly.”
Lan was even more certain of her thoughts. She put her right hand on Zero's shoulder and asked,"What about now?"
Zero once again felt that magical scene. He could see everything around him, including the movements of the mutants. After he raised his hand and fired at the alien, he immediately turned his spear head and fired another shot. The mutant dodged the first bullet but was caught off guard by the second bullet.
Lan knew what was going on. She felt like she had unlocked the genetic constraint Xuan was talking about. This strange ability was brought about by the genetic constraint.
Does that mean that if Yang Tian also has this ability, he would have unlocked his genetic constraint long ago? Besides, I'm no longer a burden.]
Being shot twice in a row made the mutant extremely angry. It shouted and rushed over again, its speed seemed to be a little faster than before. However, in front of Lan's spirit scan, it couldn't hide.
Just as Xuan had analyzed, this xenomorph was much faster than normal xenomorph. Combined with its size, it was indeed stronger than normal xenomorph. However, its defense was much weaker than normal mutants. Lan sent Zero the image she saw through contact and the two of them killed the mutant.
"Part of the mutants have been killed. Reward: 1 D-rank side quest, 1000 points.”
Lan understood that it was finally over. Just as she relaxed, she felt an intense headache. She fell to the ground as if she had been struck by lightning.
