Boom!
The Taoist talisman exploded inside the alien's mouth.
The massive fireball shattered, and then, visibly, more than half of the alien's head was gone. Puddles of shredded flesh and viscous, foul-smelling green liquid dripped continuously onto the ground, causing the ground to emit white smoke and a hissing sound.
This strike was undoubtedly a severe blow to the alien, but…
This thing was still not dead!
It wasn't called the perfect combat organism for nothing. The alien's terror, besides its combat ability, also lay in its vitality. More than half of its head was gone, and Bai Ye could see the skeleton within, yet the alien bared half its mouth and continued to charge towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye quickly threw himself backward, lying flat on the ground.
The corridor wasn't very spacious. With the alien charging at full speed, this was the only evasion method Bai Ye could think of.
Bang!
The alien leaped over Bai Ye, crashing into a metal door behind him. With a loud bang, the door was knocked to the ground, and the alien hit the door.
It was an octagonal hall, clearly much larger.
Bai Ye quickly got up and, the moment he pursued into the octagonal hall, he conjured another Taoist talisman in his hand.
"Thunder Flash!"
Bai Ye let out a low cry. As the talisman clamped between his fingers burned up, a current of electricity suddenly appeared and fiercely struck the alien's back.
After the lightning curse evolved into Thunder Flash, its power had indeed increased significantly. The current that slashed down forcibly caused the alien's massive body to sink downwards. The carapace on its back shattered, and white smoke continuously billowed from its body.
More importantly…
The paralysis effect!
The alien was extremely ferocious. After taking a hit from Thunder Flash, it still tried to force itself to stand up. However, at this moment, a large wave of electricity enveloped the alien's body, causing it to convulse.
It was clear that the paralysis effect had taken hold, preventing the alien from moving easily.
If that was the case, why wait?
Bai Ye strode forward, picked up a grenade, pulled the pin, and tossed it into the alien's ruptured head. Then, he turned and ran, diving out of the room and rolling back into the corridor with his head in his hands.
Boom!
At this very moment, the deafening sound of an explosion occurred, and a large amount of flames rushed out of the room.
Bai Ye could feel an incredibly scorching wave of heat sweeping towards him. The fur collar of his coat made a "sizzle, sizzle" sound, followed by a burnt smell.
Three to five minutes later, after the flames subsided, Bai Ye slowly got up. The surrounding walls were blackened by smoke, and metal plates lay scattered on the ground.
Walking back into the room, the alien's corpse lay on the ground, completely unrecognizable. Its head had been utterly blown apart, its body was broken in the middle, split into two halves, and a severed right leg lay in a corner, still burning.
Bai Ye took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and relaxed slightly.
This thing was truly hard to kill!
Bai Ye felt that the combat ability of an ordinary alien was manageable. It was slightly stronger than his T-virus-enhanced body, perhaps eight to nine times the strength of a normal human. It looked terrifying, but after half a year of experience on the World Battlefield, most chosen ones could reach this level.
Its attack methods were troublesome, as its entire body could be a weapon, but it wasn't unmanageable. Therefore, its strength lay in its resilience.
Bai Ye had to detonate it twice to cripple the creature, and both times were internal explosions. If it were an external explosion, due to the protection of its carapace, Bai Ye believed it might take more than ten frontal explosions to blow this thing to pieces.
After finishing the cigarette, Bai Ye casually flicked the butt away and continued walking forward.
However, at this moment…
"Hello, hello, can everyone hear me?" a voice suddenly came from the broadcast: "First, let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Jiadong. I have no intention of commanding you, but I want to tell everyone that we can cooperate in this restricted zone. Because both Restricted Zone Mission One and Restricted Zone Mission Two are escape missions, there is no conflict between us. Everyone can cooperate to leave the research base… static… static, static…" xxs壹贰
As the voice spoke, the broadcast was suddenly filled with chaotic sounds and the noise of something falling.
However, it only lasted about half a minute.
"Sorry, there was a problem with the broadcast equipment. Can everyone hear me again now? I won't force those who aim to kill the Predator alien to cooperate, but if you only want to leave here and complete Restricted Zone Mission One and Restricted Zone Mission Two, I hope everyone can unite. We can become companions and work together to overcome difficulties. Therefore, if you are interested in my proposal, please head to the cafeteria in Area East A2 for assembly. I will be waiting for you there."
After the man named Lin Jiadong finished speaking, the broadcast returned to static for a while before gradually fading.
Bai Ye stroked his chin, realizing there were still quite a few "talented" individuals.
Bai Ye found this Lin Jiadong quite interesting because he accurately analyzed the current situation.
The core of the struggle in the restricted zone was the competition for rewards from the restricted zone missions, especially the competition for God Stone fragments. However, in this restricted zone, except for Restricted Zone Mission Three, which was to kill the Predator alien and was unique and required competition, the other two restricted zone missions were escape missions. There was no conflict between them, so there was no need to fight.
Therefore, Lin Jiadong's attempt to persuade everyone to cooperate was feasible. After all, there was only one Predator alien, and only one person could complete the mission. It wasn't that everyone would give up competing, but more people would likely choose to give up. Cooperating simply to survive and leave the restricted zone, especially when there were two other restricted zone missions that could somewhat improve one's strength.
However, Bai Ye always felt that Lin Jiadong's abrupt half-minute interruption of the broadcast was a bit strange. Was it a sudden malfunction of the broadcast equipment? Or was he unskilled? Why were there sounds of things falling mixed in?
Bai Ye pondered for a moment but didn't pay too much attention.
Meanwhile…
Research Base Broadcast Room…
A smell of blood slowly wafted from behind the door, and fresh blood flowed slowly across the floor.
Inside the broadcast room, a corpse lay prone, its chest pierced by a large hole.
And in front of the broadcast room's speaker…
A Predator sat there, holding a microphone. Soon, after turning off the broadcast equipment, the Predator pulled down its mask, picked up the spear placed beside it, stepped over the corpse in the room, and walked out of the broadcast room.
Area East A2…
Cafeteria!
