Chapter 123 The Alien Queen

"You have killed the Iron-Blooded Xenomorph, completing Forbidden Zone Mission Three. Rewards: Shrink Net x1, Plasma Caster x1, Shard of God Stone x2."

Shrink Net (Item) (Blue): Throw the metal ball near a target, and it will deploy a metal net to envelop the target, then rapidly contract to cut the target's body apart. Each use damages the net, and it will be discarded after a certain number of uses. Usable counts remaining (5/5).

Charged Plasma Caster (Weapon) (Black): A basic energy weapon of the alien Predator civilization. It can fire one shot every three seconds of charge. After fifteen shots, it requires a five-minute cooldown due to high heat overload. Infrared aiming can be used to improve accuracy.

The Shrink Net is actually very powerful. If Bai Ye were to judge it, it could barely be considered a Black-grade weapon. However, the problem is that it's a consumable item, discarded after five uses, which lowers its quality.

As for the Plasma Caster...

The standard Charged Plasma Caster, the most basic energy weapon carried by Predators...

If Bai Ye were to evaluate it, this thing is truly lackluster among future technological weapons. It only barely qualifies for Black-grade by the name "energy weapon," and even then, aside from regular shots, it has no other effects, truly disgracing Black-grade weapons.

However, from another perspective, the lowest-level energy weapon is still considered a future technological weapon. How many people nowadays possess Black-grade weapons?

While the Predator's Plasma Caster is very weak among future technological weapons, if you were to pit it against a machine gun, that would be a different story.

Therefore, Bai Ye felt the rewards were pretty good, and most importantly, there were two Shards of God Stone.

He had used one to draw Xuanyuan Sword, and he still had one left!

And...

He still had the Xuanyuan Sword in hand!

"Where is the Xenomorph Queen?" Bai Ye raised his sword, brimming with heroic spirit, and declared, "Come out and fight me!"

With the Xuanyuan Sword in hand, Bai Ye felt invincible, ready to cut down anyone he saw!

Unfortunately, no one responded to Bai Ye!

After a period of indulging himself, Bai Ye had no choice but to quickly flee.

The Iron-Blooded Xenomorph had been dealt with. The next most important thing was to escape this place. If possible, Bai Ye planned to head directly to the pyramid ruins. While he still possessed the Xuanyuan Sword, he could still take on the Xenomorph Queen.

Bai Ye walked back quickly as he thought.

Upon returning to the mess hall, Bai Ye proceeded according to the signs.

Zone A was the closest to the outer perimeter of the research team's base, so Zone A2 was essentially near the entrance and exit.

Soon, after passing a garage filled with snowmobiles, 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. The sky was overcast, and snow was still falling.

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 Wiland had even hired a construction team to drill down.

"So..." Bai Ye muttered, "If I find the drilling site, I'll be able to 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. Why...

Were Forbidden Zone Mission One and Mission Two not showing as completed?

Perhaps the scope of the forbidden zone was not limited to the research team's base?

Bai Ye looked to the side. There was a fence on the outer perimeter. This should also be considered within the scope of the research team's base?

Bai Ye thought as he went to the fence and climbed over it. However, the situation remained the same. Forbidden Zone Mission One and Mission Two were still not completed.

Confused, Bai Ye opened his light screen to re-examine the missions. He still had no clue. It was just to escape from the Xenomorphs and Predators. Had he not successfully escaped by leaving the research team's base?

Bai Ye was bewildered, but at this moment...

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion occurred, startling Bai Ye. He then looked in the direction of the explosion. A column of snow shot up into the sky, and a large area of ground collapsed. Then...

Boom!

A massive drilling rig collapsed sideways and fell heavily to the ground.

"Drilling rig?" Bai Ye exclaimed, "Did something happen to the pyramid ruins?"

As Bai Ye pondered, he saw over a dozen people running towards him, apparently escaping from the ruins. Bai Ye's eyes lit up. He recognized some familiar faces.

"Jin Sha!"

Bai Ye shouted loudly. Then someone in the crowd looked towards Bai Ye.

"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 by Jin Sha and followed the crowd, wondering, "What's going on?"

Jin Sha said as they ran, "The Predators used pulse bombs to blow up the ruins, intending to eliminate all the Xenomorphs. However, the Xenomorph Queen didn't die and is about to emerge."

"Huh?" Bai Ye was surprised. "You went to the pyramid ruins?"

Jin Sha nodded. "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 all one forbidden zone," Jin Sha explained. "It's in the lower level of the research team's base, which the Xenomorphs dug open, 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 his memory!

However, Bai Ye quickly shook his head.

This damned place was already different from what he remembered. The Xenomorph and Predator forbidden zones in his memory were nothing like this.

Moreover, according to the information, after the research team discovered the pyramid ruins, they built the base directly above the pyramid ruins and then drilled down into it. 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 massive rumbling sound came from behind him again.

The next moment, a giant monster burrowed out from underground.

"Holy crap!" Bai Ye exclaimed in horror, "What is that thing?"

Jin Sha said with a bitter smile, "The Xenomorph Queen!"

"This is the Xenomorph Queen?" Bai Ye was taken aback. "Do Xenomorphs even come in silver? And this one is so huge!"
