Chapter 80: Chapter 73: Determining Age by the Shell_2

Following the map, they soon arrived at the meeting room. Along the way, Gu Shanhai saw a massive mobilization of aliens, estimating at least a hundred thousand.

At this stage, the number of players and natives in the base did not even match that amount. Even though not all the aliens were armed forces, a count of ten thousand armed aliens was still horrifying.

Upon entering the meeting room, he immediately noticed several aliens in lively discussion, varying between agitated and calm. Some were even hysterical, clearly frightened.

"These guys’ shells seem to be of poor quality," Gu Shanhai observed. The armed aliens had very smooth and textured shells, while the leaders’ were dull and some even cracked.

"So, these are the older aliens?"

"Well, determining age by the shell is quite fashionable."

Of course, Gu Shanhai couldn’t just make assumptions. He confirmed it by sensing that their vitality was significantly lower than that of the armed personnel. After all, he could distinguish between a bonfire and a candle, so it was too evident to miss.

...

Gu Shanhai silently took down the older aliens in the meeting room, realizing that their physical quality indeed couldn’t match that of the younger aliens.

After retrieving a rope from his personal lab, he tied them up one by one and suspended them mid-air. He was gentle enough to ensure they’d remain unconscious for about an hour.

This one hour was sufficient for the spacecraft to land on the surface.

Concerning what happened afterwards, that was not Gu Shanhai’s concern. He definitely wouldn’t confront the alien armed forces directly. He took a small pistol-like object from one of the aliens in the meeting room, and after testing, found it could easily penetrate his Magic Domain protection.

He was wearing two sets of multiple shields.

"Indeed, it’s beyond the version. This gadget probably couldn’t even be taken out of here by players," Gu Shanhai marveled, then pocketed the small pistol.

"Next, well, just stick to the plan after all." Gu Shanhai finally suppressed the urge to go to the arsenal.

The mission was crucial, and he noticed that the aliens’ weapons were not conventional but seemed like some special energy weapon. He worried that without the "First Epoch’s" authentication, they wouldn’t work in other worlds, diminishing their value greatly.

He hadn’t thought about conducting research either. With no relevant data or resources and unable to even understand the language, how could he research? His current strength wasn’t suitable for sprouting deviations.

He crawled back into the ventilation ducts, resuming his role as the War God of ventilation ducts and continuing forward.

’Next target, the energy room?’

’Not to blow it up but to prevent any desperate moves—quite thoughtful.’

Gu Shanhai somewhat found it amusing, but it also confirmed just how fearful these aliens were of the superpowers exiled to this world.

They’d rather destroy it than let it land.

’Wait, wasn’t it agreed that I only needed to stay undercover? Why involve me in direct confrontation?’

After another look, it wasn’t direct confrontation; he just needed to knock out the stationed personnel and then use an electromagnetic field disruptor to temporarily prevent the aliens from communicating.

’The tech level of this gadget is quite high; the whole plan is based on this electromagnetic disruptor.’ Gu Shanhai examined the button-sized device, realizing these aliens would probably never expect to fall victim to such a thing.

’But then again, ventilation ducts are truly absurd; such a large spacecraft and yet it had such a security flaw.’

Gu Shanhai headed towards the energy room. Along the way, he saw a large number of armed forces assembling and landing even before the ship touched down, as if they were a suicide squad.

At that moment, Gu Shanhai calculated the time and noticed something was off.

"Under normal circumstances, the spacecraft should have already been forced to land on the surface by now, so why is it still in midair?"

He quickly realized that although the aliens couldn’t prevent the spacecraft from landing, they were able to slow down its descent through some physical means.

"No wonder there was a subsequent plan..."

"I just don’t know if the players can withstand these aliens."

Whether it was level suppression or equipment suppression, these aliens could definitely be considered bosses at the players’ current stage; they were undoubtedly unbeatable.

"This energy room almost took my breath away; it’s just too far." Gu Shanhai looked at the map, and he was almost there at last.

The control room and the conference room were not far apart, and the area he teleported to was relatively close, but the energy room was different.

There were multiple energy rooms on the spacecraft; otherwise, it would be embarrassing for such a huge spacecraft to have only one.

And the energy room Gu Shanhai was heading to was likely to affect the situation, otherwise He Lingyun wouldn’t have specifically marked it.

"There are actually armed forces guarding it, really different, a sneak attack should be no problem." There was no one in the energy room itself, only this armed force outside.

This armed force was not deployed elsewhere but stationed at the energy room, which was enough to indicate the importance of this place. Only more critical areas like the armory and logistics storages were guarded by armed forces, even the control room wasn’t.

"So, should I make a move?" Gu Shanhai was unsure if this armed force was the aliens that might blow up the energy room in desperation; if not, then he might attack the wrong ones... oh, couldn’t kill, their equipment had corresponding monitoring; once dead, the data would be uploaded and others would notice something suspicious.

Although they had discovered someone infiltrating the spacecraft, they couldn’t find him; once Gu Shanhai actually killed the aliens, he would instantly be located by the enemy.

The armed forces weren’t all deployed; many were still searching for Gu Shanhai.

This gave Gu Shanhai a feeling like he was watching "Alien" – right, he was the alien, and these aliens were the victims...

It did sound a bit bizarre.

He flipped through the plan book; it was the end of it, only the strategies for reaping benefits remained. After handling these, all he needed to do was take a round and help open a door.

"Time is slightly plentiful; maybe wait for ten minutes before making a move. If there’s no response after ten minutes, then deal with these two aliens."

This was the first time Gu Shanhai faced an official armed force, luckily there were only two; if it were doubled he would have to be extra cautious.

"Pity, I can’t take their equipped gear, otherwise I would just dismantle it."

The opponents’ gear was integrated, similar to exoskeleton mechas; whether it was weapons or other equipment, all were so, unlike the small pistols he took from the old aliens at the conference room, which were individual entities. Without authorization, Gu Shanhai couldn’t dismantle it.

After all, it was militarized; it couldn’t be so casual.

That’s why he didn’t want to conflict with the armed forces; previously, whether it was old aliens or staff members he confronted, they didn’t have this layer of exoskeleton mecha, making it easy to engage. But as a warrior, it was naturally different.

"Fortunately, the healing spell is somewhat useful; otherwise, I would really have a headache."

Gu Shanhai carefully tried to cast the healing spell on these two, currently, their layer of exoskeleton mecha wasn’t blocking or alerting, it seemed there was no programmed response set.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief; being able to resolve this without close combat was just too good, otherwise, he was prepared to throw the General Order illusion combined with the Mana Aura Bomb.
