Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 653 Woods is no good!!
"Come on! Follow me quickly!" Alyssa Woods dragged her boss, Charles Weyland, as they limped through the ever-changing tunnel.

Behind him followed a terrified Dr. Rosa and two security guards.

"Woods, it's time to stop!" Weyland, who was terminally ill, was out of breath after running a few steps, his face pale, and he felt that his days were numbered.

"BOSS!" Woods gritted his teeth.

"What exactly are those things?!"

“I…I don’t know,” Wieland said evasively.

But Rosa behind him didn't care about any of that: "It's an alien!"

“And the Predator!” he said, pointing tremblingly at the murals on either side.

"Judging from the murals, the Predators are a high-tech alien race."

"They came to Earth in ancient times to help develop civilization."

“But also—” Rosa swallowed hard.

"They also select humans as sacrifices to raise these alien monsters!"

"Why?" Elisa couldn't understand at all.

“Hunting!” Rosa said with difficulty.

"What?!" Elisa looked at the mural.

Those Ironbloods already possess interstellar travel technology, so why do they insist on hunting in such a primitive way?

Could it be something similar to some Native American ritual?
"Cough cough—" Weyland's cough interrupted Elisa's thoughts.

She quickly turned her head: "Boss, how do we get out of here!"

“I don’t know,” Weyland said with difficulty.

"Please believe me, this was not my intention."

His eyes were filled with confusion. He had only organized this scientific expedition to solve his own terminal illness, and at the same time, with the intention of making a name for himself in history.

However, just as he discovered the mysterious passage, the shielding measures failed, and other countries also discovered it via satellite. Since Antarctica is a public domain, the United States could not withstand pressure from both allies and adversaries and had no choice but to open up scientific research access.

Once a second person knew, it could no longer be considered a secret. In this way, large countries led small countries, and organizations led organizations, forming a joint scientific expedition team of over a thousand people.

It also includes intelligence agents from countless countries, and even military personnel openly participate.

It didn't look like a scientific expedition at all, but rather a UN team building event. Some reporters even leaked the news. If it weren't for the fact that it's difficult for ordinary people to go to Antarctica, the pyramids would probably have become tourist attractions.

Therefore, Weyland did not have any real control over this expedition.

After entering the underground space, all the teams from different countries split up to conduct their research. They were immediately parasitized by facehuggers, and it was unknown which team stole the Ironblood weapons stored in the pyramid.

By the time Woods and Weyland realized something was wrong, the aliens had already been born. Large numbers of the research team were dragged out and parasitized, leading to a dramatic increase in the alien population. Soon, the research team of thousands was on the verge of annihilation.

When the three Ironbloods who participated in the assessment discovered this, they immediately reported it to the spaceship.

Unfortunately, the large-scale emergence of aliens drastically changed the difficulty of the test. Outnumbered, they were quickly and severely damaged by the aliens, and were even parasitized by facehuggers, giving birth to three Predator aliens.

Upon receiving this news, the Ironblood warship had no choice but to interrupt the test and dispatch fifty adult Ironbloods to begin clearing the alien disaster in the pyramids.

However, the Xenomorph gave birth to the evolved Xenomorph and the Xenomorph Queen, and the two sides fought a fierce battle with evenly matched forces.

Humanity is caught between the Predators and the Xenomorphs, becoming lambs to be slaughtered at will by both sides.

If the Xenomorphs and Predators hadn't focused most of their energy on each other, humanity would have been wiped out long ago.

“There’s no other way,” Wieland sighed.

"Everything we're dealing with now has exceeded our emergency response plan."

"What should we do now?" Professor Rosa collapsed to the ground.

"Is there really nothing we can do but wait to die?!"

The underground pyramids couldn't send any distress signals. They couldn't even try to call for help; all electromagnetic devices were being suppressed with terrifying force. Furthermore, the pyramids were constantly deforming, and they had no idea where they were.

"It's all your fault!!" the last security guard roared, raising his rifle and pointing it at Weyland.

"It's all your fault! Get us out of here right now, or else—"

"Calm down!" Elisa quickly whispered to calm the security guard who had already gone berserk.

"Don't explain!!" The security guard raised his gun to fire.

Before he could finish speaking, a hissing sound rang out, and then a metal cutting gear appeared on his head. As it spun, it drilled into the back of his head, then broke through his skull and flew towards the stairs, where it became embedded in the stairs.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, until the two security guards' heads split open, and blood and brain matter splattered all over the ground, before they came to their senses what had happened.

"Iron Blood!!" Rosa screamed.

Elisa quickly pulled Wieland up and ran towards the back.

Heavy footsteps approached from behind. Elisa quickly grabbed her rifle and fired repeatedly into the air. The bullets seemed to bounce off something invisible.

But a gust of wind swept past her from behind, and she quickly rolled away in a flustered manner, leaving a long scratch on the wall behind her.

Elisa closed her eyes, turned around, and a burst of bullets struck the body in front of her.

clang!
A long spear was stuck near Elisa's head; if it had been just an inch to the left, her head would have been pierced right through.

Elisa gasped for breath, her eyes suddenly widening.

A tall, muscular Predator stood before her, wearing a ferocious wolf-face mask.

This was the first time she had come so close to a Predator. The terrifying, primal aura of the Predator made it almost impossible for her to breathe, and she felt the approach of death.

However, the Predator did not look at Alyssa on the ground, but slowly backed away. He also seemed to be looking behind them rather than at the humans on the ground.

later?

What comes next?
Elisa felt a chill run down her spine. She slowly turned around and saw a huge alien creature slowly emerging from the depths of the dark corridor.

It is completely different from ordinary aliens, taller and more ferocious, standing on two legs, like human skin, and more than five meters tall.

Woods swallowed hard and tugged at Weyland beside him.

But Weyland's eyes were contorted in a ferocious rage, clearly indicating that he was already dead.

Woods sighed softly and looked at the sole survivor, Rosa.

Rosa was terrified and had no idea where to go.

First came Ironblood, then came the Alien.

Blocked from both ends, it's a dead end.

Elisa Woods nodded slightly to Rosa, signaling him to split up and run in opposite directions, hoping one of them could survive.

But Rosa, in her nervousness, misunderstood and, with trembling hands, picked up the gun and pulled the trigger on the alien evolution.

Crackling!

The bullets streaked across the dark passage, leaving trails of sparks.

This also heralded the start of the battle between the Aliens and the Predators.

Elisa suddenly heard the sound of a gust of wind rushing behind her. Startled, she could do nothing but rush forward. Even so, she heard a snap as the Predator grazed her and sent her flying.

Elisa groaned and slammed into the wall. At the same time, Rosa's bullets hit the alien, and with a series of cracking sounds, the alien roared.

Even the outer shell wasn't broken.

Elisa Woods felt like her body was about to fall apart, but that impact directly opened up a new channel.

Right behind her, a dark passage appeared.

"Go!" Elisa shouted through her pain.

Rosa then realized what was happening. He watched as the aliens battled the Predators, and could only lower his head and rush over, hoisting Elisa onto his shoulder and plunging into the newly appeared passage.

However, due to the change in the passageway, two aliens fell from the ceiling, blocking their path. It's all over!
Elisa was truly desperate.

In a flash, a serrated flywheel in the distance pierced through both aliens simultaneously, almost grazing Elisa's head as it shot into the wall behind her.

But in that instant, the alien acidic blood on the flywheel shot out, splashing directly onto her shoulder.

This acid was comparable to aqua regia, or even more terrifyingly strong acid. Elisa could only tilt her head back to avoid it, but even so, a drop of acid still landed on her shoulder blade. Instantly, an indescribable, intense pain struck her, followed by a searing, molten pain that nearly made her faint.

In less than a second, most of Elisa's right scapula dissolved, leaving only a small piece of muscle and bone connecting her arm and scapula, making it look like it was about to fall off.

Elisa endured the excruciating pain, her body trembling slightly, but she still forced herself to speak to Rosa.

"Let's go!"

But Rosa, seeing the Ironbloods rushing towards her from the dark corridor, was at a loss for what to do.

Fortunately, this Sangvis Ferri was only there to support his teammates and didn't have time to pay attention to the two humans. He simply ran over and joined the battle.

boom!
With a flick of its tail, the evolved Xenomorph flung the newly arrived Predator against the wall.

“Let’s go…” Elisa Woods weakly pointed ahead.

Although a Sangvis Ferri was already approaching from that direction, the two had no choice.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any aliens or Predators along the way, but the bad news was that as they approached the exit, they heard constant sounds of battle.

Once they emerged from the passage, they found an interior space measuring two hundred meters on each side, which had now become a battlefield.

At least ten Predators and hundreds of Xenomorphs are fighting here.

Plasma cannons, flywheels, spears...

The towering Alien Queen, the evolved form, and the ordinary Alien.

The alien's roar sent chills down your spine, the corrosive blood sizzled, and the Predator's shoulder cannon blasted the wall into craters.

boom!
Half of the Predator's body crashed into them and fell in front of them. Rosa could only crouch down and pray that the Xenomorphs and Predators on the battlefield wouldn't see them.

Elisa, however, saw a dark passage at the other end.

She pointed in that direction: "Go, go that way!"

Rosa was going crazy and quickly grabbed Elisa Woods, who wanted to rush into the battlefield.

"Woods, this won't work!"

“We can’t do it!”

“You’ll die if you stay here,” Elisa shouted.

Just then, they heard what sounded like a heavy truck rolling over the road behind them.

The two quickly retreated to the side, only to see the huge alien evolved creature that had just emerged from the passage, with two Ironbloods hanging from its tail, clearly indicating that it was the victor in the battle.

It saw the chaotic battlefield and roared wildly, a sound louder and more intense than ever before. Elisa, who was not far away, felt as if her eardrums were about to burst.

The surrounding aliens became even more excited, launching even more frantic attacks on the Predator on the battlefield, with many more aliens emerging from various corners.

Two aliens spotted the human hiding in the corner and surrounded him from above and below.

"It's over, it's over..."

Elisa was at her wits' end and was on the verge of death.

It seemed as if a gentle breeze had blown by.

Instantly, all the aliens and even the Predators in the arena stopped moving.

After a two-second pause, all the heads fell to the ground with a clatter.

In the center of the battlefield, a strange figure dressed in a bizarre green insect costume and wearing a red cape sat atop the head of a giant alien evolutionary creature.

Cheng Xiao clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"That's a good move. How about we call it Whirlwind Star-Picking Hand?"

"The alien evolution actually scored higher than the regular alien."

"Why don't we suggest that Chu Xuan just train an evolved form directly?"

Just then, his ears twitched slightly, and he vanished from his spot as if in a frame-free animation, reappearing beside the stunned Elisa and Rosa.

With just a wave of his hand, he knocked the two unconscious.

And right where he had just been standing, the ceiling shattered with a loud crash, and a gigantic alien evolved creature fell from above.

Not only that, the three-headed alien evolution and the five-headed alien queen appeared from both the front and back passages.

Cheng Xiao's face stiffened, and he immediately called Zhan Lan in his mind.

"Zhan Lan, why didn't you give me a hint!"

"I almost got my butt ripped open!"

Zhan Lan said casually, "Is that so? Maybe these aliens have also evolved the ability to shield their mental energy."

"By the way, Chu Xuan asked you to collect some Ironblood equipment."

Cheng Xiao wore a bitter expression, but he didn't pay any attention to the several aliens that were flanking him from the front and back.

To him now, the speed of the alien is no different from slow motion.

If he had encountered these alien evolutions and the Queen while he was in The Hobbit, even with his upgraded A-grade crossbow armor, he would have had no choice but to turn and run.

He's a newly promoted fourth-tier fighter. He can't defeat the Star Killer Ghidorah, but how could he possibly be unable to handle a few aliens?

The alien evolutions all raised their heads and howled loudly. The sound of their running was like that of a war chariot, and they were moving at a speed of at least 60 miles per hour. Unfortunately, they were not very agile.

Cheng Xiao easily dodged and weaved, and the aliens couldn't even touch his clothes.

When they're at those corners in the passageway, the aliens often don't have time to turn and crash into the wall, sometimes even colliding with each other and falling over.

The evolved beings and the alien queen could only helplessly rage and roar incessantly.

More aliens appeared after the roars.

Of course, there are also Predators attracted by the alien's roar.

Compared to the Xenomorphs, who only had a bloodlust, the Ironbloods clearly understood that this newly appeared insectoid race was also an alien like them, and instinctively began to fight back.

However, the air suddenly jolted.

All living organisms imploded on the spot, stiffened, and bled from all seven orifices until they died.

Cheng Xiao merely manipulated the gas within the organism's body, squeezing and rupturing the internal organs without causing any damage to the exterior.

He looked around and listened intently.

He has essentially cleared out the entire pyramid.

Both aliens and predators perished.

The entire massacre was clean and swift.

But Cheng Xiao felt that something was not right.

Generally speaking, killing generates resentment and bloodlust, especially in such bloody battles and killings.

But he could clearly sense that some of the death energy and resentment generated during the killing process seemed to be absorbed by the pyramid itself.

They converged in one place.

Cheng Xiao couldn't help but look towards the deepest part of the pyramid, muttering to himself, "Could it be that the captain's target is there?"

"Here we go again..."
