Bai Ye really wanted to say to the Warrior: "What you said makes perfect sense, and I cannot refute it!"
Of course, it wasn't sarcasm!
Bai Ye was not a novice, having the experience of his past life. Although Bai Ye himself had never encountered such a situation in the Pyramid ruins, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the Warrior's speculation might be true.
Just then, the Warrior glanced at the equipment on the ground and quickly looked up again.
Bai Ye sneered at the Warrior, "It seems we've figured things out, haven't we?"
The Warrior replied, "I've told you everything I know. This is all the information I have at the moment."
"Yes, I believe you," Bai Ye said. "However, we've finished talking, but your companion hasn't arrived yet. What do you think we should do?"
The Warrior paused, then shook his head, "I don't understand what you mean."
Bai Ye glanced at the equipment on the ground, "Didn't you call for help? You're waiting for those previous Predators to come and rescue you."
The Warrior said, "That's not true. I'm talking to you sincerely and genuinely want to cooperate. You are different from the others; you are stronger than them, and I don't have to worry about being possessed by a facehugger, so there's no need to kill you. Conversely, if you're willing to help, this matter will become much simpler. But if you don't trust me, there's nothing I can do."
"Enough with the nonsense," Bai Ye said, "Do you dare to say you haven't established communication with other Predators?"
The Warrior looked up, "No, I swear!"
Oaths are worthless. It would be foolish to answer "yes" at this point.
"If not, that's for the best," Bai Ye shrugged. "Otherwise, there will be big trouble."
The Warrior froze, "What?"
Bai Ye continued, "It takes about five minutes to walk from the mess hall to our location, and our conversation has already lasted a little over fifteen minutes. What do you think is the reason your companions haven't arrived yet?"
The Warrior fell silent, his eyes behind the mask filled with deep dread.
Even so, the Warrior gritted his teeth and said, "I really didn't..."
"I don't care whether you did or not," Bai Ye interrupted directly. "Given what I've said, shouldn't you rush back and take a look?"
The Warrior paused again, but quickly understood that Bai Ye had no intention of attacking him further. He immediately nodded his head in salute to Bai Ye, then picked up the equipment on the ground, quickly put it on, and started to run back.
Bai Ye curved his lips. After the Warrior disappeared at the end of the corridor, he didn't leave but followed him directly.
The Warrior ran through the corridor and then entered the mess hall, only to be greatly alarmed.
The piles of corpses that had been stacked were now scattered, and many of them bore signs of gnawing. Most importantly, there were six additional Predator corpses and about a dozen Xenomorph corpses in the mess hall.
It was clear that after the Warrior and Bai Ye left, a battle had ensued in the mess hall, with a large number of Xenomorphs attacking.
The Warrior quickly ran to the few Predator corpses and repeatedly called out to his companions in a language Bai Ye couldn't understand, but it was useless because he received no response.
"It's no use!" Bai Ye's voice echoed, "They're clearly dead."
The Warrior sprang up and looked at Bai Ye, "You knew they were going to be attacked, didn't you?"
Bai Ye nodded, "Yes!"
The Warrior's voice was clearly filled with anger, "Why?"
Bai Ye sneered, "Almost all aggressive carnivorous creatures are attracted by the scent of blood. You were slaughtering in the mess hall, and the bloody smell spread everywhere. Did you expect the Xenomorphs not to come? You're a Predator, you should know Xenomorphs well, and you didn't even consider this? Who's to blame?"
The Warrior twitched his eye, "You should have warned me."
"Do I have such an obligation?" Bai Ye asked. "Killing and being killed are normal on the world battlefield. You can slaughter, but you can't be slaughtered?"
Bai Ye strode towards the Warrior.
"The most important point," Bai Ye grinned, "Now we can cooperate."
The Warrior gritted his teeth, "That's why you stood by and did nothing, isn't it? If our people weren't scattered, you wouldn't have had a chance to kill the Predators!"
Bai Ye nodded, "You can think of it that way. So, cooperate? Or not?"
The Warrior said, "Do you think I would cooperate with a bastard like you..."
*Thwack!*
Before the Warrior could finish speaking, Bai Ye suddenly reached out and stabbed the Warrior in the waist with the Frost Sword.
Feeling intense pain, the Warrior endured it and retreated backward, but Bai Ye clearly had no intention of letting him go. He pursued relentlessly, forcing the Warrior against the wall, and then...
*Thwack!*
Bai Ye exerted more force, and the Frost Sword plunged another inch deeper, with more than half of its length piercing the Warrior's body.
"Ah!"
The Warrior roared and raised his fist to smash Bai Ye's head, but the moment his fist was about to land, Bai Ye swiftly reached out.
Dragon Claw Hand!
Bai Ye's five fingers formed a claw, grabbed the Warrior's fist, and twisted it violently backward.
*Crack!*
The sound of bone breaking echoed from the Warrior's wrist as Bai Ye forcefully twisted it.
The intense pain caused the Warrior to roar continuously. Then, the shoulder cannon on his shoulder fired, emitting an energy halo.
Bai Ye reacted extremely quickly. The moment the shoulder cannon fired, he tilted his head to the side. Immediately, a beam of energy shot past Bai Ye's head with a roar, shattering the wall behind him.
"I gave you a chance, and you didn't take it!" Bai Ye looked up at the Warrior and said, "If you don't cooperate, you're useless, and if you're useless, you deserve to die!"
The Warrior gritted his teeth, "How do you want to cooperate?"
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Bai Ye shook his head. "There's only one chance, and that's how people learn to cherish it. Sorry, you've missed your chance!"
*Thwack!*
Bai Ye violently withdrew the Frost Sword and then swept it forward with force.
A silver sword light streaked across, passing by the Warrior's neck.
Instantly, a large amount of blood sprayed out, making a "shush" sound and splashing all over Bai Ye's face.
Bai Ye stepped back a few paces, wiped the blood from his face, and looked at the struggling Warrior who had fallen to the ground, saying, "Remember to cherish opportunities in your next life!"
"You have killed a combatant (Particle Energy Civilization World)."
"As this is your first combatant kill in a Particle Energy Civilization World, you have received the reward: Biological Scanning and Calculation System x1."
"You have obtained five fragments of God Stones."
As the Warrior died, Bai Ye's eyes lit up as he looked at the light screen before him.
Particle Energy Civilization World?
Bai Ye had never heard of this world before. Shouldn't Predators be classified under technological worlds?
