After Zheng Zha and his group proposed staying in the control hall, the mercenaries were all very surprised, but their reason was very sound: they were physically unfit and would only be a burden to the main force; it would be more likely for them to survive by staying in the safe control room and waiting for rescue.
Matthew Addison finally agreed to Zheng Zha's suggestion, but his gaze towards Lan Nuo was a bit conflicted.
"Lan, are you really staying too?"
Lan Nuo nodded and said, "They are my companions, I must stay here to protect them. I'm sorry I can't continue to help you."
Seeing Lan Nuo's resolute attitude, the mercenary captain had no choice but to agree. In his opinion, with Lan Nuo present, this group of security guards might really have a chance to survive. After giving Lan Nuo a lot of firearms and ammunition, the mercenary captain left with Alice and the others.
In the control room, only the Reincarnators were left. Zheng Zha held a gun and threatened the Flame Queen: "I know your goal is to do everything possible to prevent the virus from leaking. Now, immediately close the gates and activate the laser corridor, otherwise, I will immediately break your motherboard! Let the Hive completely lose control."
Although the Flame Queen did not understand why these people were doing this, she was a highly intelligent AI. Faced with the threat, she knew she could only choose to compromise. The gates closed one by one, and the laser corridor was also activated.
The unprecedentedly safe environment allowed everyone to relax and start sharing their thoughts, explaining things about the Main God Space.
Zhang Jie also lowered his guard and began to recount his experience during the Nightmare on Elm Street: "At that time, I was still a newcomer. The veteran at the time managed to snatch a truck, and we all sat in the car, not daring to sleep, for five days and five nights, all to escape the town where Freddy was entrenched.
When everyone was exhausted, we saw a new town appear in the distance. We were overjoyed, but when the car entered, we realized that it was the same town we had escaped from, and the veteran who was driving had long been possessed by a ghost. Do you see the scar on my face? That was Freddy cutting off strips of flesh, one by one. The Main God can repair it, but I kept it. If I ever see him again, I will definitely kill him!"
Zhang Jie's terrifying experience in Nightmare on Elm Street left everyone with lingering fears, but thinking that they were safe now, everyone couldn't help but ask Zhang Jie about the Main God's exchange system.
Zhang Jie also didn't want to continue recalling the painful experience, so he explained: "The Main God's most basic exchange is attribute enhancement: intelligence, Spiritual Power, cell vitality, nerve reaction speed, muscle tissue strength, and immunity strength, all of these can be enhanced.
In addition, you can exchange for various technological weapons, even sci-fi weapons, just like this Desert Eagle with unlimited bullets in my hand. These weapons are usually very cheap; only the unlimited bullet types are more expensive.
There are also magic and legendary weapons, such as talismans and magic tools. These things are more expensive than technological weapons, but their advantage is that they can deal with ghosts and monsters, and you won't be powerless when facing horror movie worlds of the supernatural type.
Finally, and most expensive, requiring branch plot exchanges, are Cultivation Methods and bloodline enhancements. For example, the Spider Serum enhancement requires a B-grade branch plot plus five thousand reincarnation points. You can even enhance divine and demonic bloodlines and Cultivation Methods, but these are too expensive, beyond what we can afford."
Upon hearing this, Lan Nuo also calculated how to exchange at the Main God to save Matthew Addison. He had been given four thousand reward points and a B-grade branch plot. It was 1000 points less than in the original work, which should have been taken by Zheng Zha. However, even four thousand points was a considerable reward for a newcomer.
"That... Brother Zhang Jie, can the Main God exchange for some targeted items? For example, an antitoxin serum for the Resident Evil World, or the formula for an antitoxin serum?" Lan Nuo couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Jie heard this and shook his head, saying, "Perhaps there are, but there are too many exchange items, and these exclusive items are hard to find. If you just want to cure the T-Virus, you can directly ask the Main God to repair it; it only costs ten reincarnation points for a complete cure. If you want to take it to a horror movie world, a multi-functional potent antidote only costs fifty to one hundred points. Why are you asking this? Were you just bitten by a zombie?"
Lan Nuo shook his head: "No, I was just thinking, Alice can gain extraordinary physical abilities after being infected with the T-Virus. So, can we intentionally infect ourselves with the T-Virus in the Main God Space and try to integrate with it? With the Main God to protect us, we can even try repeatedly."
Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Main God repair is very cheap; even limb regeneration only costs fifty points. Trying to intentionally infect oneself with the T-Virus seemed truly feasible!
Zhang Jie couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Lan Nuo's performance made him think of one of the important configurations in a Reincarnation Squad: the "Strategist." The Strategist is the team's brain, devising plans and managing the use of reincarnation points. These are all the Strategist's responsibilities, a key figure no less important than the captain.
Although Lan Nuo spoke little, each time he did, it was quite crucial. He even seemed to possess some traits of a Strategist. If Lan Nuo knew what Zhang Jie was thinking, he would surely cry out in innocence. His individual IQ was only average; perhaps with a gun to his head, he might have a chance to get into a top university, but even with a gun pointed at his forehead, he probably wouldn't get into the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was still miles away from being a Strategist; they relied solely on collective wisdom.
"I collected some zombie flesh and blood; we can try it when we return to the Space." Lan Nuo showed the metal container in his backpack. This was a container used for field sampling, with excellent sealing, specifically customized by Lan Nuo for collecting infected biological samples.
As he spoke, Lan Nuo installed plastic explosives at the last gate and also placed several bombs on the ceiling of the control room: "Just in case, the laser corridor isn't absolutely safe." Lan Nuo explained his actions to everyone, and they all understood, starting to help Lan Nuo set up traps.
Just as everyone was busy, click! The room suddenly plunged into darkness. The Flame Queen suddenly lost Power. Zheng Zha quickly remembered something: "It's Kaplan! He remotely shut down the Flame Queen once to save the protagonist!"
Everyone, who had just relaxed, immediately became tense, cautiously shrinking to the furthest point from the door, not daring to make a sound, fearing being discovered by the Crawler.
But the sound of the steel door twisting and deforming shattered everyone's illusions. The Crawler was approaching step by step, its thick, hard forelimbs easily tearing through the thick steel plate. That kind of strength was simply not something ordinary people could contend with; even with firearms, it would be difficult to kill such a monster.
The laser corridor was no longer able to stop the monster's invasion. In the control room, which had lost Power, it was pitch black, and they couldn't see their hands in front of their faces. Everyone was like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Facing the fear, Lan Nuo's heartbeat began to quicken little by little. Holding a gun in one hand and the bomb's remote control in the other, a familiar yet strange feeling surged through him. Silently, Lan Nuo pulled out the Flame Queen's motherboard and put it into his backpack. Almost at the same time the Crawler tore through the last gate, Lan Nuo's eyes became blank, and he pressed the bomb's detonation button.
