Chapter 640 Gen Ge Can't Resist the Charm of a Beautiful Woman

"Got you!"

Cheng Tian's eyes flashed, and he had already located the terminal position of the vehicle deployment area.

Cheng Tian, ​​the newly appointed core member of the mothership, also had a simple idea.

If the mental scan cannot detect it, it means that the other party may have mental shielding capabilities, or they may have adjusted their mental wavelength to a state similar to that of Martians, performing precise disguise at the mental scan level so that the scan cannot quickly and accurately identify them.

Since that's the case, let's just use sheer numbers to conduct a full search of the entire mothership while blocking all entrances and exits, or as they say, herd sheep.

These Steve clones, lacking self-awareness, obviously cannot perform certain delicate operations, but this is something that probably only the controllers of the bacterial production line know.

As long as Steve continues to drive and search, and as long as the other side doesn't want to expose itself, they will inevitably find a way to continue using some unobstructed passages.

In fact, Cheng Tian had already done some psychological profiling of the target before he even identified him.

First, the fact that the other party was able to implant infectious fungi into a considerable number of Martians proves that the other party holds a high position in the Martian camp, or that they are free individuals who can roam freely inside the ship.

The Martians' attitude towards humans is similar to that towards lab rats, which means that the other party is likely not a pure human, but an individual with mixed fungal abilities or bloodlines, similar to the mushroom people like Toad.

Then, the other party is definitely unwilling to fight and their main objective is to escape.

Based on these profiles, we can basically conclude that there are "cowardly/self-aware players (groups) who are preparing to retreat because they see that the Root of Mars is about to fail completely."

As we all know, when you're catching someone, if you don't give them any way out, they're likely to become desperate and retaliate. To avoid a desperate counterattack from the other side, the classic tactic is to surround three sides and leave one open.

Therefore, while Cheng Tian closed all the hatch doors and covered many obvious cracks with a large amount of fungal blankets for emergency treatment, he deliberately left some emergency exits in the vehicle deployment area open.

Sure enough, we found our target.

"Only one?"

Cheng Tian muttered something to himself, not seeing any other figures yet, but he wasn't in a hurry to do anything to this guy.

Because this guy simply couldn't crack the emergency exit computer terminal program...

Computer skills or strength checks can be unlocked by passing either one, but given the ingrained mindset of the player community, it's rare to find anyone other than the Russians who would immediately kick a high-precision instrument.

Seeing that Lao Liu had been found and the internal battle situation was basically under control, Cheng Tian turned his attention back to the Root of Mars.

This creature, Gengo, which grew larger after eating mushrooms, has already unleashed more than one wave of telekinetic shockwaves. It's only because the entire mothership is large enough and its armor is thick enough that it hasn't suffered any fatal damage.

Cheng Tian even suspected that the Martian leader, who already possessed mushroom-like properties, might receive even more special effects when consuming super mushrooms.

It must be said that Cheng Tian's previous act of threatening Martian prisoners did indeed touch the soft spot of the Root of Mars. If the Root of Mars did not care about its people at all, it would not have led its people to escape to Mars in its mothership.

But then again, what trust can humans, a race so adept at infighting and self-destruction, possibly have?
"Those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts"—this saying is one of the anthropological lessons Martian Roots has learned in recent years. Even if they aren't killed, they'll likely be used as test subjects… just like they did to humans. It's precisely because they project their own prejudices onto others that Martian Roots are so resolute, choosing to fight to the death with their super mushrooms.

At the same time, Gengo also had some regrets. If he had incorporated this super mushroom into his Martian bloodline system through cultivation, the battle situation might not be what it is now...

However, just as the Root of Mars was struggling with this, Cheng Tian, ​​who was on the toilet, seemed to suddenly remember something. He called on the Modern Army to help bring over a Martian prisoner who was not infected with the fungus, and then threw a "Midnight Blessing" over.

With a sudden burst of smoke, the originally gray Martian instantly transformed into a being with pink skin and a small bow hair accessory on its head.

This scene was also perfectly displayed on the projection.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Root of Mars gaped, stunned, and even its brain stopped pulsating with mental energy.

[The Holy Grail Mission – Demeter greets the Martians – is complete.]

After seeing the pop-up notification, Cheng Tian nodded in satisfaction.

There were just too many random things going on, and he only just remembered that he had a mission to use Midnight Blessing in front of the Root of Mars to turn the Martians into "female Martians".

Although it might introduce unknown variables and there's no definite reward, Cheng Tian is still willing to take this step in terms of main quest completion.

Even through the thick walls of the battle fortress, the projection accurately transmitted the image to the face of the Root of Mars, thus completing the mission.

By the way, the fact that Demeter's Midnight Blessing can turn Martians, which have strong mushroom-like traits, into conceptually "female" units is also based on the original game concept.

In SNK vs Capcom, Martian is a clearly playable character, and he eats everything, whether it's the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Midnight Blessing, or Goddess's Origin.

As a Martian group with strong fungal characteristics, they do not have a clear concept of gender like plants and animals, but they have a very complex reproductive system. They mainly exchange genetic material through "mating" and also have asexual reproduction individuals that can reproduce themselves with just spores or mycelial fragments.

The Root of Mars is such an existence. As the leader of the tribe, he can reproduce and multiply his tribe's offspring by planting fungal spores without needing to interfere with mating.

Just as Cheng Tian had previously mentioned Venusians, which led to the completion of the background setting, Midnight Blessing turned a Martian into a true female Martian, thus forcing the entire Martian race's background setting to be injected with new and unavoidable special elements.

The first female Martian in the Metal Slug universe was born without any warning!

Surprisingly, the Martian unit that was forcibly transformed into a female actually looked kind of... cute because of the combination of pink skin and a bow, plus the obviously deliberate lengthening of eyelashes?
Cheng Tian judged it from the perspective of plush toys, but Mars Root saw it differently.

They were clearly his own people, but humans had altered their forms using some unknown method, yet they exerted an inexplicable and powerful attraction on him!
If it's that, perhaps my tribe can...

"I surrender."

Suddenly, a telepathic message from the Root of Mars echoed in Cheng Tian's mind.
