Hearing Chu Xuan's analysis, Zero was still unimpressed, but Zhan Lan next to him had frozen in place. He then raised his hand to look at the wristwatch showing the punishment for failing the main quest, and her fair face gradually paled.
So far, Zhan Lan had only killed five mutants and mutants, earning a total of 2000 points of rewards. Added to the ones she saved, it totals only 3000 points, which is far from compensating for the 7000 reward points deducted for task failure.
According to the rules of the main deity, after the horror movie plot ends, all members with negative scores will be subjected to the penalty of termination!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Wu Xian with a worried and anxious expression in her eyes.
"Captain..."
"Don't worry, I said, the Main God wouldn't issue a task that is guaranteed to result in death."
Wu Xian patted her shoulder gently, calming her emotions, and then turned to Chu Xuan again, "Since you have already analyzed these issues, I'm sure you must have a solution in mind. It would be nice if you could share it with us."
"Not to worry, I have some things to confirm before we regroup. Let's discuss it together after everyone has arrived."
Chu Xuan's expression was calm, and his voice still carried no hint of emotion. However, for some reason, Wu Xian always felt a strange sense that he had been outsmarted by him.
With a flick of his mouth, he didn't continue to ask and directly let Friday guide the location of the main control room in the helmet, then he led everyone quickly on their way.
A few more minutes later, Wu Xian and his team arrived at the target location. Li Xiaoyi, who was guarding the door, saw them from afar and vigorously waved his hand. His mood seemed to be very good, obviously still immersed in the afterglow of scoring points.
Unfortunately, that good mood did not last long. After Chu Xuan explained his analysis to Zheng Zha and the others, the atmosphere in the main control room plummeted to freezing point.
"Detestable!"
Suddenly, Zheng Zha roared angrily and hammered at the metal wall next to him, instantly creating a pit. His handsome face, which had a somewhat demonic aura, was now filled with an expression of bitterness.
As for Li Xiaoyi and Mou Gang, their reactions were very similar to Zhan Lan's.
With the rewards points they currently have, they are not enough to offset the negative score penalty. If everything really does as Chu Xuan said, then after this horror movie ends, except for Zheng Zha and Wu Xian, everyone else will be killed by the Main God.
Even if they killed another batch of mutants later and managed to offset the negative scores, the rewards points they could get would have to first deduct 7000 points. The remaining gains would be uncertain.
At this thought, the three of them slumped like eggplants after a frost, no longer showing any of their earlier spirit and determination.
"Chu Xuan, don't beat around the bush anymore. Just tell us your thoughts. If it really can solve the current problem, I can guarantee that everyone here will fully cooperate."
At this point, it was Wu Xian, the linchpin, who stepped forward. He watched Chu Xuan, who had his back to the crowd and was constantly tweaking instruments on the work platform, curious about what kind of solution the first wisdom in the rebirth world could come up with.
"This spaceship is extremely advanced in technology, but its control system is quite ordinary, not much better than the Earth in reality. Just now, with the help of your artificial intelligence, Miss Friday, I have fully controlled this spaceship."
While watching the hundreds of screens in the monitor, Chu Xuan said, "There is a bad news and two even worse news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Play."
Wu Xian rolled his eyes, too lazy to play along.
"Then let's start with the bad news."
Chu Xuan pushed his glasses: "Perhaps because of the main god's reasons, the return system of the spacecraft has been completely locked, unable to extend the return time to Earth. And now we have only one hour and five minutes left to complete the main task."
"The second even worse piece of news is that for the past fifteen minutes, there has been no trace of any alien activity in the monitoring screens."
In other words, the alien queen may not have temporarily given birth to new aliens, or may have ordered them to hide, but either way, she has clearly sensed the strength of the Zhongshu team. Therefore, after determining that she is not their opponent, she has chosen to retreat."
"Finally, I, along with Miss Friday, broke through the firewall of this spacecraft and found some hidden files. We have already learned the true reason for the change in the plot of this movie."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xuan's fingers moved lightly, and several videos and files appeared on the screen in front of him. Friday had even loaded Chinese subtitles, which was quite considerate.
After hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the videos and files on the screen. But after a while, their faces gradually darkened, and even the sound of the side tasks being completed was ignored.
In fact, the reason why this spacecraft is so large is that the plot has been altered from the beginning.
In "Alien 1," the Nostromo was originally just a merchant ship, with the task of returning to Earth loaded with iron ore, but it suddenly received a group of strange signals during the journey.
The artificial intelligence of the spaceship, "Mother," judged that this could be a distress signal and ordered the spacecraft to proceed to the signal source for rescue. This is how some of the following stories unfolded.
In the version before us, the Nostromo merchant ship represented Weyland-Yutani Corporation, which seemed to have discovered the existence of alien creatures earlier than in the movie.
To obtain a live specimen of this alien creature, the company directly dispatched a large number of scientific researchers to the place where the distress signal in the movie was located, took away several alien eggs inside, and bred them, conducting preliminary experiments on the way back to Earth.
There is no doubt that they overstepped.
Among the several alien eggs brought aboard the spacecraft, a queen was born, which grew at an extremely fast rate, eventually turning the over one hundred people on board into a breeding ground, producing a large number of aliens.
Only the female protagonist, Ripley, had a sky-high aura, escaping alone... perhaps along with a cat, in the last functioning lifeboat.
"All of them are bad news, then... Alright, according to your explanation, there may be over one hundred aliens on this spacecraft, especially the alien queen. If she is hiding and constantly laying eggs, we can't find her and therefore cannot complete the mission."
Wu Xian frowned, according to Friday's statement, the diameter of this spacecraft is at least thirty kilometers, and the passageways are complicated. Even by taking a direct route with brute force, it would be difficult to find the nest of the alien queen within one hour.
"This is what I am going to talk about next."
Chu Xuan looked at Wu Xian and said, "Although I am unable to control the return-to-earth system and cannot determine the location of the alien queen in a short period of time, I have found the self-destruct program of this spacecraft."
"Self-destruction?!"
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback and their gaze at Chu Xuan was as if they were looking at a madman, Wu Xian included.
What does it mean? Because they can't complete the task, they want to sacrifice the aliens and themselves. Only the brain of such a person can come up with this idea.
Wisdom? Impaired intelligence!
Wu Xian was thinking wildly in his heart, then suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively, "Wait, are you... trying to force the alien queen out by blowing up the spacecraft?"
