Chapter 22 Squad
"Why do we need to split into teams?"
Chu Xuan: "To be precise, it's about sending one person as bait to lure the Queen's main body into the escape pod."
"Then this person is doomed?" Li Shuaixi couldn't help but feel nervous. He had a feeling that this evil-looking man with glasses was coming for him.
"I disagree!" Zheng Zha was the first to object.
He strode forward, his face filled with righteous indignation: "A mere alien queen! I can kill her with a few punches and kicks, why should I sacrifice another's life!"
"When did I ever say that I would sacrifice the life of the bait?" Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, looked at Li Shuaixi, and said, "Even if it is necessary to sacrifice the bait, there are other newcomers in Wang Lu's storage space. Why sacrifice someone present who is considered valuable by the veterans?"
This left everyone puzzled.
However, Wang Lu did manage to savor the flavor.
"You want me to seduce the Alien Queen?"
"Good. After detonating the escape pod, you can escape in a spacesuit. You could even place an escape pod into subspace beforehand and release it after the explosion. With your intelligence capabilities, I'm sure you've prepared spacesuits, right?"
"That's true..."
Wang Lu nodded, feeling that the plan was indeed quite feasible.
In this alien film set without NPCs, the greatest help the reincarnators can draw upon is the space environment.
An invincible vacuum, equally subjugating all living beings.
"Execute this plan! Everyone, move to the tail of the spaceship!"
boom--
The car roared away, and along the way, they didn't encounter another alien.
Because Zhang Jie showed Wang Lu the map before he fainted, the group quickly arrived at the area where the escape pod was located.
In a vast, enclosed space where the top was nowhere in sight, sixteen small, boxy landing craft, each about the size of three train carriages, were lined up neatly.
"This is the escape pod? It's huge!" Zhan Lan exclaimed in admiration, but was suddenly interrupted by Zheng Zha's shout.
"Something's there! Something strange is staring at me! I can feel it!"
Click click click click!
Instantly, Overlord, Zero Point, and Chu Xuan raised their rifles and scanned their surroundings back to back.
The others were a little slower, but they quickly joined the search as well.
But after looking around, they saw nothing.
"Zheng Zha, are you too nervous and hallucinating?" Li Shuaixi asked.
"Listen to what you're saying. You're the kind of character who's most infuriating in horror movies," Wang Lu said speechlessly.
Chu Xuan: "In this situation, the best perception is instinct! I think Zheng Zha's intuition is correct; the Alien Queen has been following us all along!! She's right here!"
"!" Zhan Lan's legs went weak on the spot, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What should we do?"
"Climb up! Climb up to the top of the escape pod! The view is better from up there!"
The escape pod was over three meters high. Wang Lu grabbed one in each hand and threw all the newcomers up in a few quick movements.
"You guys keep watch up here, Zheng Zha, keep an eye on the newcomer, I'm going to meet this alien queen!"
"Shouldn't we not separate now? That's how it's always portrayed in movies. If we separate, something bad will happen!" Zhan Lan's face was pale, and her eyes were pleading as she looked at Wang Lu.
Zheng Zha was even more eager to try: "Let me go! You stay here and protect the newcomers. I want to see what kind of trickery is going on!"
"hehe."
Wang Lu was too lazy to pay attention to this brilliant man, but he was stubborn and threw the Barrett he was carrying to Zero on the escape pod.
"Here's the gun, I prefer to solve problems with my fists!"
Chu Xuan: "Zheng Zha, actually, staying here makes it more likely you'll encounter the Empress. Think about it, in horror movies, once the main fighting force leaves, doesn't the monster attack the others?"
"This... seems to make sense." Zheng Zha scratched his head.
"The Empress is smarter than you; she definitely knows to pick on the weak. She'll only show herself if Wang Lu leaves!"
"You're calling me a pushover?!" Zheng Zha stiffened his neck and glared at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan: "It's not that I think so, it's that the Empress thinks you're an easy target."
"I'm so angry!" Zheng Zha was furious. He jumped three meters high and landed on the top of the escape pod.
"Wang Lu, you'd better get out of here! I want to see what this Empress thinks she has that makes her look down on me!"
……
It's like using brine to make tofu; one thing can subdue another. Even though Zheng Zha had become incredibly clever, he was still completely outmaneuvered by Chu Xuan.
Seeing that Zheng Zha had finally calmed down, he turned and left.
However, Wang Lu did not walk very fast. Instead, he maintained a normal speed, walked out of the deck area where the escape pod was located, turned a corner, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Sure enough. As soon as he left, Zheng Zha exclaimed in surprise:
"I feel like I'm being watched by something again!"
"Where?!"
"I don't know!" Zheng Zha looked left and right, but couldn't find the enemy's location.
As Wang Lu stepped out of the deck area, he heard Zheng Zha's shouts.
He stopped and deliberately circled the area, trying to find the Queen. He silently released his telekinesis, sweeping across the 360-degree landscape around him, but found nothing.
So he quietly retreated back to the vicinity of the deck, attempting to capture the Alien Queen, but miraculously, when Wang Lu approached the deck, the feeling of being watched by Zheng Zha disappeared.
Zheng Zha: "The feeling of being watched is gone!"
Chu Xuan: "Something scared the Empress away; it must be Wang Lu nearby."
Sure enough, Wang Lu appeared from the door connecting the deck to the spaceship.
He said in a deep voice, "The Empress is smarter and more cunning than I imagined. She will only appear when I leave. Once I get close, she will hide."
The usually taciturn Zero suddenly asked, "Does this mean your combat strength surpasses that of the Empress?"
Chu Xuan: "Not necessarily. More likely, the Queen has determined that Wang Lu is a more threatening individual and doesn't want to fight him head-on. She wants to devour us weaklings first, become stronger, and then have a final showdown with Wang Lu!"
"What a cunning beast!" Zheng Zha sneered, then said, "Since that's the case, Wang Lu, you should go further away. I'm going to fight her to the death!"
"..."
Wang Lu: "At this point, this is the only way. I'll go further away to create an opportunity for the Empress. The rest of you, try your best to hold out for as long as possible until I return to reinforce you."
As he spoke, he took out several walkie-talkies.
"This is a walkie-talkie. It maintains stable contact within a 10-kilometer range. Once the Queen launches her attack, I'll be back. A 10-kilometer journey takes only one minute."
"Go ahead and leave this to me! That little empress has bothered me time and time again, I've been fed up with her for a long time!" Zheng Zha waved his hand confidently, showing no fear whatsoever.
Of all these people, Zheng Zha, Ba Wang, and Ling Dian's lives are the most precious.
Zheng Zha has 100% attribute synchronization and 10,000 system points. Ba Wang has a little over 0.6 million points and 60% attribute synchronization.
These three cannot be lost; even if they die, they must be resurrected. As for the others, I don't know them.
Wang Lu thought for a moment, then took out a Buddhist wheel from his pocket and handed it to Zero: "Wear this on your body, back to back with Overlord. Although the Buddhist wheel isn't good at defense in close combat, it should still be of some use."
Zero silently accepted the Buddhist wheel and whispered his thanks, "Thank you. What about you? If the Empress turns around and attacks you, won't this Buddhist wheel affect your fighting ability?"
"Won't."
This item was prepared specifically for Zhang Jie, and for Wang Lu, it had already fulfilled its purpose.
