The Counterattack of the Villains

Chapter 285 Rules

After listening to Chu Xuan's words, Li Shuaixi took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and finally said in a solemn voice: "Okay, I am willing to accept the test and become this bait."

"But I want to ask, if I insist on not going, what are you going to do to me?"

Chu Xuan looked directly at Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie and said, "That depends on the rules they set when they established the team."

"As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. I am not qualified to decide your fate. The only thing that can decide your fate is the team rules recognized by the majority of the team members."

Zhang Jie looked at Zheng Zha and Zhang Qin, Zheng Zha nodded to him, and Zhang Qin said: "You tell me!"

Seeing this, Zhang Jie glanced at Zero Point Overlord and others, and said: "When we decided to establish a team, we set a core rule about how to treat newcomers."

"In every horror movie, we will select newcomers with high abilities and quality, or with qualified mentality and character to protect them and develop them into full team members."

"As for burdens that have no value to the team, they are left to fend for themselves without targeting or helping. However, if they threaten the safety of team members, they will be removed resolutely."

"Although we can't kill newcomers directly, it is very simple for seniors to kill newcomers, such as breaking their limbs and throwing them into dangerous areas."

Having said this, he looked at Li Shuaixi and continued: "According to the team rules, if you insist on refusing to be a bait, we will not do anything to you."

"It's just that you can no longer get our protection, no one will take you away, and no one will give you food and water. If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself for everything."

"If you successfully complete the task this time and pass the test, you will become a formal member. The team will treat you equally and give you maximum help and protection."

"The skills mastered by others will be taught to you one by one when you return to the main god space, training you to become a qualified warrior and increasing your chances of survival."

After hearing Zhang Jie explain the team rules, Li Mu, Lingdian and Bawang all looked satisfied.

Chu Xuan also said: "Very good rules. You have given the utmost fairness and justice. Generally speaking, you senior people are relatively kind."

"If I were to make the rules, I would stipulate that new members who want to join the team and become an official member must hand over half of the proceeds from the first horror film."

Good guy, Zhang Jie and others are just like good guys.

Zhan Lan held her forehead and said: "You are simply more capitalist than a capitalist, and no capitalist exploits you so harshly."

Li Mu smiled and shook his head: "It's not about exploitation. Chu Xuan's rule is actually very reasonable. Half of the income that newcomers can get is nothing more than three melons and two dates for seniors."

"So asking for half of the income is not the fundamental goal. What is needed is an attitude, which can test the newcomer's character to a great extent."

"When you are in the main god space, you are walking on the edge of life and death at any time. Every decision is linked to your own life. If a senior person protects a newcomer, he or she must bear certain risks, and this is not the obligation of the senior person."

"If a newcomer is willing to give up half of his income in exchange for the protection of a senior person and spend money to buy peace, it means that he understands very well that if he wants to get something, he has to pay for it."

"If a newcomer takes it as a matter of course that seniors protect themselves, then this newcomer either has a brain problem or is very likely to be a selfish white-eyed wolf. Such a person is not suitable as a teammate."

After hearing Li Mu's words, everyone suddenly realized that their perception of Chu Xuan had changed.

Zhang Qin thought for a while and said: "Since the rule proposed by Chu Xuan is of practical benefit to the team, we might as well implement it from the next world on."

"We may not really require newcomers to hand over half of their profits, but we must tell them this when they first enter."

"Newcomers who express their willingness to hand over their income can be included in the team's protection scope even if they pass the preliminary screening."

"In the subsequent actions, we will observe the performance of the newcomers and finally decide whether to recruit them as a formal team member."

"After passing through the plot world and returning to the main god space, the newcomers who are recognized by the team naturally do not need to actually hand over the income. On the contrary, if the team resources are sufficient, they still need to support one or two."

"And for newcomers who do not perform well and cannot be recognized by the team, they will be abandoned directly. Even if they return to the main god space alive, they will have nothing to do with the team. Everyone will go their own way."

"For newcomers who harm the team but are lucky enough to survive, they can either hand over all their earnings in exchange for us not targeting them."

"If he doesn't want to, then when the next horror movie starts, he will be destroyed as soon as possible."

"What do you think of my suggestions?"

Zhang Jie was the first to raise his hand and said: "I agree."

Li Mu also said: "Second."

Zheng Zha said: "I agree too."

Then Zhan Lan, Li Xiaoyi, Ling Dian, Ba Wang, Chu Xuan and others all expressed their agreement.

Li Shuaixi was very self-aware and did not speak because he was not yet an official member of the team and was not qualified to vote.

Since all members have approved the proposal, they will officially implement it starting from the next horror movie.

Chu Xuan said to Li Shuaixi: "Come with me, and I will tell you the whole process of the bait plan."

Li Shuaixi stood up silently and followed Chu Xuan to where the surveillance video was, and others followed suit.

Before arriving at the surveillance video, Chu Xuan operated on the console. A floor plan appeared on the large screen in the center, and important rooms and passages were marked with numbers.

"Look, the control room we are in is in Room 27..."

Chu Xuan explained the current layout of the cabin and each passage to Li Shuaixi in detail, and then told him in detail what he wanted to do.

"You need to make some noise in Room 19, that is, throw a grenade to attract the aliens. It's best to let out some blood yourself, so that you can fully attract the aliens."

"This location is four isolation doors away from the alien location. You have plenty of time to escape."

"After throwing the grenade, you immediately flee backwards. Remember, your escape route is to the left when you see the bend. You must run to the left in every passage."

"Every time you turn a corner, you have to throw a grenade at the corner to guide the alien."

"In this way, you will make a big circle and run to room 26 next door. While the aliens are chasing you, they will be separated by me one after another and locked in separate passages."

"As long as you can run back within one minute, it is absolutely safe. Although your physical fitness is weak, I have calculated your previous running speed. In fact, it only takes you more than forty seconds to run this distance."

"You can completely sustain running at full speed for more than forty seconds."

After listening to Chu Xuan's arrangements, Li Shuaixi lowered his head slightly and asked in a calm voice: "What about the isolation door leading to the control room? Will it be closed after I go out?"

Chu Xuan said calmly: "Yes, I must ensure that nothing goes wrong. Every time the isolation door is closed, it must take half an hour to open again, so I asked you to run to room 26."

"You only need to hide in Room 26 for half an hour, and Li Mu and Zheng Zha will go out to kill the aliens locked outside Room 26 and help you return to the control room."

"Next, you just need to wait for the aliens to be killed and return to the main god space."

After hearing these words, Li Shuaixi breathed a sigh of relief and truly relaxed.

Because he had already figured out the details of the isolation door through previous observations and some knowledge he had mastered.

After this kind of isolation door is closed, it cannot be opened again within a short period of time, and the interval must be more than half an hour.

If Chu Xuan said that he would directly open the isolation door outside the control room and help him return to the control room, then he would not say anything more and would die together with Chu Xuan.

Because that meant that Chu Xuan had been planning to trick him to death from the very beginning.

But now that Chu Xuan has clearly told this matter and arranged for him to hide in Room 26, it proves that he has no intention of tricking him.

Although Li Shuaixi didn't have any special skills, his IQ was not low. He could also give a rough idea of ​​the entire process arranged by Chu Xuan. There was indeed no problem in it.

In fact, in the original plot, it was Chu Xuan's deception on the isolation door that was seen through by Li Shuaixi, which caused Li Shuaixi to fall into despair and finally decided to die with everyone.

But now, because Chu Xuan included the "human touch" of Li Mu and others into the calculation conditions, he didn't do anything dirty.

Because he knew that Li Mu and others could not accept his operation. If he did that, maybe Li Mu and the others would break his limbs and throw him in front of the alien.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

Another reason is that the strength of this team is now many times stronger than in the original plot, and it is strong enough to fight against the aliens. This is also the reason that prompted Chu Xuan to change the layout.

In the original plot, the team was too weak, and Li Shuaixi was a useless burden who only consumed food and water, so Chu Xuan decisively chose to abandon him.

In the plot of the original plot, Chu Xuan's only miscalculation was that he never expected that Li Shuaixi could understand such a complex and high-end operating system, so that he would see through his deception on the isolation door.

"Do you have any more questions? If not, get ready!"

Li Shuaixi thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "I have no problem anymore."

Zheng Zha raised his hand and put it on his shoulder, encouraging: "Come on, I believe you can do it, and we will definitely become brothers fighting side by side."

Li Shuaixi looked at Zheng Zha and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Zheng."

Zhang Qin pulled out his dagger and handed it to Li Shuaixi, then gave him a bottle of hemostatic spray and a powerful bandage.

"Aliens are more sensitive to blood. When the time comes, make a cut on your hand. Don't be afraid of bleeding. You have seen the effect of this spray and bandage."

Li Shuaixi nodded silently, took off the four grenades on his tactical vest, and hung them one by one on the belt around Li Shuaixi's waist in a special way.

"The safety tabs of these grenades are hung directly on your belt. You don't need to take them off and pull the tabs. You can just use a little force when taking them out, and then throw them out directly."

Zhang Jie took a sip from the cigarette he had just lit and said to Li Shuaixi: "We are very well prepared for this plan. I really can't find a reason for failure. Everything depends on you."

Li Shuaixi put the spray and bandage into his pocket, clenched the dagger in his hand, took a few deep breaths, and strode out.

The isolation door opened, and Li Shuaixi paused when he walked to the isolation door.

Crossing this isolation door is the boundary between life and death.

Everyone looked at him silently. After Li Shuaixi paused for four or five seconds, he finally walked out of the isolation door, and then walked towards the target point without looking back.

The isolation door behind him closed again, and Li Shuaixi's figure disappeared from everyone's eyes. From now on, he could only be seen on the surveillance screen.

There was no need to run when he went there, so he walked slowly. After walking for about four or five minutes, he reached the passage where the target point was.

After moving his wrists and ankles and adjusting his breathing, Li Shuaixi rolled up his left sleeve, put the blade of the dagger to his arm, gritted his teeth and pulled.

A wound appeared on the arm, and blood immediately overflowed and dripped to the ground.

Li Shuaixi threw away the dagger and took off a grenade from his waist.

The grenade left his belt, but the pull ring remained on his belt. Li Shuaixi raised his hand and threw the grenade toward the passage ahead, then turned around and ran away. The blood spots scattered along the way were like a road sign.

A few seconds later, a "boom" sounded in the passage.

Everyone in the control room saw that the moment the grenade exploded, the five aliens rushed in that direction out of reflex.

At this time, although the seven aliens were all in the same area, they were not gathered together and were separated by some distance.

When the first Alien Queen arrived at the site of the grenade explosion, she paused for two seconds, moved her long head toward the bloodstain on the ground, and then decisively pursued her in the direction where the bloodstain extended.

Behind it were two other alien queens, and four ordinary aliens further behind.

In the control room, Chu Xuan calculated the advance amount, and decisively pressed the close button after the six aliens in front passed through the isolation door.

The seventh alien that fell behind suddenly hit the closed isolation door. When it turned around and ran back, it found that the isolation door at the other end had also been closed.

Zhang Jie couldn't help shouting: "Beautiful."

Zhang Qin quickly raised a finger at him to signal him to stop making noise so as not to interfere with Chu Xuan's judgment.

Li Mu said indifferently: "Don't worry, this guy is very special. Even if you shoot in his ear, you won't be able to disturb him."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Zhang Qin asked puzzledly.

Li Mu glanced at Chu Xuan and said, "Let's talk about it when we have time. Now is not the time to talk about this."

While speaking, Chu Xuan had already closed two isolation doors in succession and locked the other two aliens in separate passages.

As time went by, the aliens were isolated head by head, but the alien queen at the head was getting closer and closer to Li Shuaixi.

Although the alien was quite far away from Li Shuaixi at first, the speed of the Alien Queen was many times that of Li Shuaixi.

After passing through Room 25, the sixth alien was isolated. The only one left chasing behind Li Shuaixi was an alien queen, which could also directly see Li Shuaixi.

In the control room, everyone was sweating for Li Shuaixi. Zheng Zha murmured unconsciously: "Quick, quick, we are almost successful. Hurry up..."

However, at the next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he froze for two seconds, then suddenly turned around and walked away, somewhat out of control.

He put his right hand on his face and wiped it, then suddenly said "fuck" in his mouth, and smashed down with both fists at the same time, smashing a chair into pieces.

Zhang Jie slammed half of the cigarette on the ground and shouted angrily: "It's just a little bit close, just a damn little bit close. Damn it, why do you have to look back."

The two women, Zhang Qin and Zhan Lan, sighed, Overlord shook his head repeatedly, and Li Mu glanced at Chu Xuan's back calmly.

Although this guy didn't do anything wrong this time, he still had some thoughts of abandoning Li Shuaixi, because what he wanted after all was a team with all elite members.

Although Chu Xuan's planning process was completely fine, the passage in Room 26 he chose was the passage most prone to problems.

In fact, he could not close Room 27, the isolation door outside the control room, from the beginning.

Because there was only one alien queen left behind Li Shuaixi at this time, Li Mu and Zheng Zha could go to rescue Li Shuaixi, or even directly kill the alien queen.

But his words "to ensure nothing goes wrong" made no one think there was anything wrong with his operation.

After all, if the isolation door outside the control room is not closed, it means that aliens have the opportunity to rush into the control room.

We are always afraid of what might happen. What if they fail to stop the aliens? What if the aliens are not completely isolated, and what if there are two or even more aliens following Li Shuaixi?

It was precisely based on these considerations that even Li Shuaixi himself didn't think there was anything wrong with Chu Xuan's arrangement.

Li Mu had thought of this from the beginning, but he didn't say it out loud because he, like Chu Xuan, didn't want Li Shuaixi to stay in the team.

He knows Li Shuaixi better than Chu Xuan, but this person's character is not suitable to be their teammate.

So he chose to acquiesce to Chu Xuan's actions.

In the final analysis, he is not a good person, and he does not have the heart of a holy mother like Zheng Zha.

Time went back more than ten seconds, and Li Shuaixi was only a dozen meters away from Room 26.

At the end of the passage, the isolation door has been closed, locking the other alien queen in the passage outside Room 25.

The last Alien Queen has appeared in the isolation door, but with the distance between the Alien Queen and Li Shuaixi, before Li Shuaixi rushes into Room 26 and closes the alloy door, the Alien Queen cannot catch up with him.

But the moment the Alien Queen saw Li Shuaixi, she suddenly opened her mouth and let out a roar.

At this time, Li Shuaixi started to gasp for air because of running all the way, and his brain felt slightly dizzy due to lack of oxygen.

Hearing this roar suddenly, he was so frightened that he looked back subconsciously.

But just this turning back ruined his chance of survival.

The moment he turned back, his steps unknowingly shifted, and then his body brushed against an iron shelf next to the passage. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Yes, the biggest difference between the passage outside Room 26 and other passages is that this passage is relatively narrow, with many pipes and shelves on both sides of the passage.

Room 27 is the central control room, and Room 26 is a room similar to the "machine room".

Li Shuaixi's fall caused him to be confused for a moment. When he came to his senses, the Alien Queen had already chased him not far behind him.

At this time, he was less than ten meters away from the door of Room 26. He climbed up and ran towards Room 26 with all his strength.

However, just as he reached the door, the Alien Queen popped out her deadly tongue.

In front of the Alien Queen's tongue, Li Shuaixi's head exploded like a watermelon, unable to react at all.

Compared to the other seven people, he was relieved and did not suffer much torture.
