"You have killed the Iron Blood Alien, completed Forbidden Zone mission three, and received rewards: Shrink Net Tennis x1, Plasma Cannon x1, God Stone Fragment x2."
Shrink Net Tennis (Item) (Blue): Throw the metal ball near the target, and it will eject a metal net to cover the target. Then, using rapid contraction, it will cut the target's body. As the metal net is damaged with each use, it will be scrapped after a certain number of uses. Current usage count (5/5).
Energy Plasma Cannon (Weapon) (Black): A basic energy weapon of the alien civilization Predators. It can fire once every three seconds of charging. After fifteen shots, it requires a five-minute cooldown due to high-heat overload. Infrared aiming can be used to improve hit rate.
The Shrink Net Tennis is actually very powerful. If Bai Ye were to say, it could barely be considered a black-quality weapon. However, the problem is that it's an item and will be scrapped after five uses, which lowers its quality.
As for the Plasma Cannon...
The standard energy weapon, the basic version, commonly carried by Predators...
If Bai Ye were to evaluate it, this thing is truly subpar among futuristic technological weapons. It only barely enters the black-quality tier based on the name "energy weapon," and apart from conventional firing, it doesn't even have any special effects, truly disgracing the black-quality weapon class.
However, from another perspective, the lowest-grade energy weapon is still a futuristic technological weapon. How many people today can possess a black-quality weapon?
The Predator's Plasma Cannon might be very weak among futuristic technological weapons, but if you were to go head-to-head with a machine gun using the Plasma Cannon, that would be another matter.
Therefore, Bai Ye felt the harvest was quite good, and most importantly, there were two God Stone Fragments.
He used one to draw the Xuanyuan Sword and still had one left!
And...
The Xuanyuan Sword was still in his hand!
"Where is the Alien Queen?" Bai Ye raised his sword and said heroically, "Come out and fight me!"
With the Xuanyuan Sword in hand, Bai Ye could cut anyone he saw!
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to Bai Ye!
After indulging in a bit of self-amusement, Bai Ye could only hurry away.
The Iron Blood Alien was already dealt with, and the most important thing now was to escape. If possible, Bai Ye planned to head directly to the Pyramid Ruins and continue to fight the Alien Queen as long as he had the Xuanyuan Sword.
Bai Ye thought as he quickly walked back.
Upon returning to the mess hall, Bai Ye proceeded according to the directional signs.
Area A was the closest to the outer perimeter of the research team's base, so Area A2 was essentially in the vicinity of the entrance and exit.
Soon, after passing a garage filled with snow vehicles, Bai Ye reached the outer perimeter of the research team's base.
Judging by the time, it should be morning, but the weather was not good, overcast and gloomy, with snow still falling from the sky.
Bai Ye stretched and then oriented himself.
Bai Ye remembered that the research team's base was built near the Pyramid Ruins. Since the Pyramid Ruins were underground, the wealthy magnate Viland had directly hired a construction team to dig.
"So..." Bai Ye murmured, "If I find the drilling location, I can find the entrance to the Pyramid Ruins."
Bai Ye walked forward as he thought, but he hadn't gone far when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Bai Ye looked back at the research team's base behind him.
He had already left the research team's base, so why...
Why hadn't he received any prompts for completing Forbidden Zone missions one and two?
Could it be that the scope of the Forbidden Zone was not limited to the research team's base?
Bai Ye looked to the side, where there was a fence on the outer perimeter. This should also be considered within the research team's base perimeter?
Bai Ye thought as he approached the fence and climbed over it. The result was the same; Forbidden Zone missions one and two were still not completed.
Bai Ye couldn't help but open his holographic screen to re-examine the missions, but he still had no clue. It was simply to escape from the aliens and Predators. He had already left the research team's base, so wasn't that considered a successful escape?
Bai Ye was confused, but at this moment...
BOOM!
Suddenly, a loud explosion startled Bai Ye. He looked in the direction of the explosion and saw a column of snow shooting into the sky, with large sections of the ground collapsing. Then...
BOOM!
A giant drilling rig collapsed to the side and fell heavily to the ground.
"Drill rig?" Bai Ye exclaimed, "Did something happen to the Pyramid Ruins?"
As Bai Ye was thinking, he saw more than a dozen people running towards him. They seemed to be escaping from the ruins. Bai Ye's eyes lit up; he recognized some familiar faces.
"Jin Sha!"
Bai Ye shouted loudly, and then someone in the crowd looked in Bai Ye's direction.
"Bai Ye, what are you doing here?" Jin Sha quickly walked forward, grabbed Bai Ye, and said, "Run, run!"
Bai Ye, feeling dazed, was pulled along by Jin Sha with the crowd, and asked, "What's going on?"
Jin Sha said as she ran, "The Predators used pulse bombs to blow up the ruins, trying to eliminate all the aliens, but the Alien Queen didn't die and is about to come out."
"Ah?" Bai Ye asked in surprise, "You went to the Pyramid Ruins?"
Jin Sha nodded and said, "Yes!"
Bai Ye asked, "Didn't you enter the research team's base Forbidden Zone with me? How did you end up at the Pyramid Ruins?"
"It's just one Forbidden Zone," Jin Sha explained, "It's on the lower level of the research team's base, and the aliens dug through it, so it directly connects to the Pyramid Ruins. They are essentially the same Forbidden Zone."
There was such a thing?
This was completely different from what he remembered!
However, Bai Ye quickly shook his head.
This damn place was already different from how he remembered it. The alien and Predator Forbidden Zone in his memory was nothing like this.
Moreover, according to the information, after the research team discovered the Pyramid Ruins, they built a base directly above the ruins and began drilling into them. Therefore, the Pyramid Ruins were indeed located below the research team's base, and it wasn't unreasonable to say they were connected.
BOOM!
As Bai Ye was thinking, a huge rumbling sound came from behind him again.
The next moment, a giant monster emerged from underground.
"Holy crap!" Bai Ye exclaimed in shock, "What is that thing?"
Jin Sha gave a wry smile and said, "The Alien Queen!"
"This is the Alien Queen?" Bai Ye was stunned for a moment and said, "Do aliens come in silver? And it's so huge!"
