Chapter 224 - Chapter 224 224 personally takes action

Chapter 224: 224 personally takes action Chapter 224: 224 personally takes action Chen Xu looked at the screen in front of him, where the black cube seemed to be controlled by some force, constantly changing direction and even actively avoiding the metal walls.

He suddenly asked, “Is it really impossible to destroy it?”

“I’ve used the most powerful main gun on the spaceship, but it was also unable to destroy it.”

He spoke with a grave expression, “When it passes through an unimportant area, try to trap it.”

“Okay.”

Soon after, the cube moved through a long corridor, and the doors at both ends slammed shut.

Chen Xu stared intently at the screen, noticing that it paused momentarily before continuing forward and crashing into the door. The speakers broadcast the sounds from the scene–a loud thud, followed by the grating sound of the metal twisting and deforming.

The cube forcefully punched a hole through the alloy door that was twenty centimeters thick and passed through it.

Seeing this, he subconsciously gripped his weapon tighter.

“It makes no sense.”

His eyes never left the screen as he desperately thought of its potential weakness.

If it was truly invincible like this, wouldn’t the players on this spaceship be doomed? If a game started with an unsolvable boss, wouldn’t the gaming company get scolded to death?

Therefore, it must have a weakness.

He said determinedly, “Next, use every attack method you can think of–flame, flooding, electric shock, microwaves… Use any tactic you can think of.”

“Yes.”

The cube was still at some distance from the cockpit and continued to approach. In the meantime, as Taichu had said, it tried various attack methods, which were all futile. The cube remained unharmed and couldn’t even be slowed down.

“It seems we’re going to be miserable brothers today.”

Chen Xu saw that so many attack methods were ineffective against it and suddenly laughed.

Taichu said with confusion, “I don’t quite understand. In my database, shouldn’t you be afraid at a time like this? Why can you still laugh?”

Chen Xu was about to speak when he suddenly exclaimed, “Hey, has it changed direction?”

After a moment, Taichu finished calculating and said, “Yes, it appears to have changed its target.”

Upon getting a positive response, Chen Xu’s heart did not relax, just confusion, “Where is its current target?”

“The breeding chamber.”

“The breeding chamber? What is it doing there?” He seemed to be asking both himself and Taichu.

A few minutes later, he found out the answer. The cube forcibly burst through the door of the breeding chamber, then stopped and slowly fell to the ground. Immediately after, the cube split apart, and a white worm-like creature crawled out.

Chen Xu was dumbfounded by the scene. Inside a cube like this was actually a living worm?

“What… What is this?”

Taichu replied, “It should be a kind of interstellar organism.”

While they were talking, the white worm on the screen turned its head, opened its massive mouthparts, and with a crunch, took a bite out of the cube’s shell.

Chen Xu gasped in shock. He had seen how hard the cube was, but now it was being eaten alive by this creature.

After the worm quickly devoured the shell, its size increased significantly. It seemed to have eaten its fill and then lay motionless.

“Now’s the chance, send someone to kill it.” Chen Xu came to his senses. No matter how formidable the creature’s mouthparts were, it was ultimately made of flesh and blood and certainly not as hard as the cube. Now was the perfect time to kill it.

Taichu said, “Right now, you are the only armed force on the spaceship.”

Chen Xu was shocked. “No way, such a big ship, and there’s no robot armament?”

Taichu explained, “According to regulations, there must be no artificial intelligence armament on the spaceship. Inside the spaceship, all weapons can only be controlled by humans.”

He felt somewhat helpless and could only say the people on this ship were too wary of artificial intelligence.

“Have the teleportation chamber send me over.”

He picked up his weapon and dashed off.

It was up to him now.

He walked into the zero-number teleportation chamber at top speed, and just as he sat down, a screen appeared once again in front of him. The white worm’s body writhed a few times, and from its rear, it expelled black spherical objects covered in mucus.

It had begun to lay eggs–one, two, laying a total of over a dozen eggs in a sequence.

His eyelids twitched. Who knew what those eggs would hatch into? He asked, “Is there an armory near the breeding chamber? I need some heavy weapons.”

“I will send some weapons to you using the number one teleportation chamber.”

“Good.”

Chen Xu said, and the transport capsule began to move. He closed his eyes, feeling the constantly increasing speed.

The incubation chamber was also an important area, not too far from the cockpit.

About two minutes later, the transport capsule stopped. He opened his eyes and saw on the screen that the first egg laid by the worm had begun to hatch, a creature entirely black, very much like an alien, emerged from the shell and started to gnaw on it.

“Isn’t this an Acid Ant Beast?”

He was somewhat surprised. The monster that had just hatched in front of him looked exactly like the Acid Ant Beast he encountered during his second dream.

At that time, he could say he almost died at the hands of the Acid Ant Beast, so the impression was extremely deep.

While he was stunned, the head of the creature resembling the Acid Ant Beast shook a few times and suddenly found a direction, quickly crawling onto the foremost incubation device. With a stab and a tear of its two front claws, it ripped open the metal shell of the incubator.

“No, this thing is definitely not an Acid Ant Beast.”

He was startled. The Acid Ant Beast’s claws weren’t that sharp and couldn’t tear through special alloys; it could only rely on its extremely corrosive bodily fluid.

The creature in front of him was like an enhanced version of the Acid Ant Beast.

He couldn’t delay and opened the safety rail, exiting the transport capsule. The door of another transport capsule next to him was open, inside which were the weapons Taichu spoke of, including a set of small armor.

He donned the armor as quickly as possible and, after activating it, picked up a weapon even bigger than himself. The energy weapons used on the spaceship were bigger in size and also in power.

Then, he grabbed a few spare power sources, plugged them into the holster at his waist, and headed towards the direction of the incubation chamber.

No matter where he went, the screens followed in front of him, clearly showing the situation inside the incubation room. By then, the second alien had hatched. Seemingly sensing danger, it charged towards the doorway at an almost incomprehensible speed.

“Die.”

He set the energy gun’s power to the minimum, so it didn’t need any charging time, and the firing rate was the fastest.

Almost at the same time, a dark flash appeared, and the small alien was already at the corner of the corridor.

A buzzing sound–

A ringing noise echoed in his ears, and everything in front of him suddenly slowed down, turning into frame by frame images. He precisely captured the location of the small alien. The energy gun emitted a blue energy beam, hitting it directly in the head.

The small alien was sent flying, and its body hit the wall at the end of the corridor and bounced onto the floor.

“Hm?”

Just as he was about to fire another shot, he found that it hadn’t died; its front claws tore open the floor and fell below.

Now, he truly felt troubled. With claws that could easily tear through the spaceship’s hull, a body so tough it couldn’t be penetrated by an energy gun, incredible speed, and a knack for using the terrain to its advantage, how was he supposed to fight it?

Such a creature, in the complex interior of a spaceship, no matter how many people came, they were just being delivered for slaughter.

At that moment, the screen in front of him changed, displaying the image of the small alien that had fallen down. After hitting the ground, it leaped again. Its target was right beneath his feet.

“Optimal assistance.”

He praised in his mind and turned the energy gun up a notch, aiming at the ground and firing. The muzzle gathered a blue light, and half a second later, a more solid beam of energy than before was emitted.

At that moment, the alien had just torn through the floor beneath his feet, popping its head up, colliding with the muzzle.

With a bang, its tiny head was vaporized, leaving only half a body behind, carried by the energy beam downwards, crashing through the floor of the level below.

After killing one small alien, Chen Xu felt no joy, only a heavier heart. Because during that delay, two more aliens had hatched.

Even more terrifying, the white worm continued to lay eggs.

“I am so done with this.”

His face hardened, and he set the energy gun’s power to the maximum, aiming through the wall at the position of the worm and pressed the charging button.

One second, two seconds…

As though sensing the impending threat, the worm emitted a screeching sound; two newly hatched aliens rushed over quickly, positioning themselves in front of it.

Then, the energy gun sounded an alarm. He released the button, and a thick blue energy beam emitted from the gun.

A dazzling blue light suddenly lit up, and Chen Xu distinctly felt a slight tremor from below.

When his vision cleared, he saw a large circular hole in the wall ahead. Not far away, on another wall, there was a similar hole, and beyond that, many more of the same holes.

“Is it dead?”

He moved his gaze to the screen above his head. The position where the worm initially was now only had a small part of its body left.

Taichu’s voice spoke up, “Confirmed, it is dead.”

He had just sighed in relief when he heard Taichu continue, “However, the crisis is not yet over.”

On the screen in front of him, the image shifted to the first hatched alien. By this time, it had grown several times larger, reaching a height of three or four meters. At that moment, it was turning its head around, its blood-red eyes appearing extremely terrifying.

The moment Chen Xu locked eyes with it, an intense chill ran down his spine.
