Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 269 Luo Li: Punishing Chu Xuan by making you work twenty hours a day

"what?!"

A single word perfectly expressed Luo Li's confusion, surprise, and bewilderment at that moment.

"No way!!! You all know that's Deacon!!! And you still want to nuke him?!"

Luo Li sternly condemned her teammate's wasteful behavior.

Zhan Lan pointed at Chu Xuan and said, "This is all thanks to Colonel Chu's amazing wisdom! After Deacon escaped, I suggested that we complete the mission issued by the Main God first, then return to the Main God Space to make full preparations before going back to capture the Deacon alien."

However, Colonel Chu believed that we couldn't find it because of technical reasons, so he suggested that we find a way to pass on the news of the Deacon alien's appearance to the Engineers.

By the way, you know about engineers, right? And their relationship with Deacon?

Luo Li rolled her eyes and said, "I know the importance of the Deacon Xenomorph, so how could I not know the relationship between the Engineers and the Deacon Xenomorph? The question is, how did Chu Xuan manage to do that?"

According to the information found in the Main God Space, the Engineers were created by Deacon using his own genetic material, and Deacon disappeared after that.

Over the long years that followed, the Engineers developed a brilliant civilization, leaving their mark throughout the entire galaxy.

However, as time went on, the Engineers' own genes developed problems, causing the entire race to lose its ability to reproduce.

In order to ensure the continuation of their race, the Engineers used the genetic material left behind by Deacon to conduct biological experiments, hoping to create Deacon and use Deacon's wisdom to solve their race's genetic problems.

Humans were created by them in one of their experiments, and so were the aliens.

Faced with Luo Li's question, Zhan Lan brought the topic back to where it all began.

"This brings us to the identities that the Supreme God assigned to us. The so-called secret force is actually a purge force targeting the Engineer race."

Their purpose is to seize the high-tech creations and life-bearing planets from the Engineers.

But humans always love to fight amongst themselves. Since some are hostile to the Engineers, others are friendly, after all, they are the creators of humanity in the Xenomorph world.

And those high-ranking officials who were close to engineers happened to possess the devices that connected them to the engineering community.

Luo Li had already guessed what Chu Xuan had done. He had simply used the hands of high-ranking humans who were close to the Engineers to pass on the news of the Deacon Xenomorph to the Engineers, and then wait for the Engineers to capture the Deacon Xenomorph before taking action to steal it.

However, there was one thing Luo Li couldn't understand: with the engineer's skills, it shouldn't have been possible to injure Qi Tengyi, Cheng Xiao, and Zhao Yingkong so badly.

"Because after the message was sent out, what arrived was not an ordinary engineer, but a space jockey in a warship. In addition to the space jockey, an unexpected force also appeared: the Predators."

"Wait! Let me think about it!" Luo Li stopped Zhan Lan from continuing and quickly organized the information she had just learned.

"Aliens, Deacon, the human military, the Engineers' branch of Space Jockeys, Predators... Holy crap, what was originally just a military operation for humanity to clear out the alien invasion and reclaim their home has turned into an interstellar war because of your meddling?!"

Hearing Luo Li say that, Zhan Lan couldn't hold back any longer and said somewhat frantically, "Why are you asking me! Ask Chu Xuan!"

Chu Xuan said at the opportune moment, "The appearance of the Predators was indeed unexpected, and it caused the situation to develop beyond my expectations. But this is indeed my fault, and I am willing to accept punishment." "Punishment... we'll talk about that later. Tell me, what was your initial plan? Luring the Engineers wasn't just about capturing the Deacon Xenomorph, was it?"

Luo Li did not intend to punish Chu Xuan for this matter. After all, no matter how perfect the plan was, it was bound to encounter various unexpected events when it encountered the black-hearted sphere of light that was the Main God.

In contrast, Luo Li felt that the Deacon alien was just a trigger, and Chu Xuan's real target should be the engineers.

Chu Xuan's answer confirmed Luo Li's guess.

"I plan to use the Deacon alien as bait to lure the Engineers to the solar system, and then, with the help of the human military, seize the Engineers' spaceships."

If all goes well, we will not only obtain a spaceship with the ability to travel faster than the speed of light, but also master a large number of advanced technologies through reverse engineering.

It also saves a significant amount of reward points and side quests.

Good heavens. Good heavens. Luo Li kept exclaiming in her heart.

No wonder it turned into an interstellar war with five forces fighting each other. With the way Chu Xuan made this move, this level of plot development is already an extra favor from the main god.

"And what was the result?! You schemed so much! You almost killed your teammates, and if you didn't achieve anything, then as the captain, I must punish you to maintain order among the team!"

Chu Xuan knew immediately that Luo Li was giving him a way out, so he calmly said, "The Deacon alien has been completely vaporized by the nuclear bomb. Although it's a pity, we didn't come away empty-handed."

Taking advantage of the chaos, we seized a small warship from the human military. It was a real spaceship, not the kind of airship we used before.

The only downside is that these small warships lack the ability to travel faster than light.

Upon hearing that there was no faster-than-light travel capability, Luo Li's relaxed brows furrowed again, but seeing that Chu Xuan was still talking, she patiently listened for the time being.

"Although that complete human warship did not have faster-than-light travel technology, we also obtained the wreckage of one-third of the Space Jockeys' warships, as well as a Predator warship that was broken in two!"

Especially that Predator warship—its faster-than-light engines are completely intact! Once we crack the control system and repair the hull, it can be put into immediate use!

Chu Xuan's tone was incredibly excited; it was a technology that broke through the constraints of the speed of light, and it held a fatal attraction for researchers like him.

Influenced by Chu Xuan's emotions, Luo Li also became excited. But as her initial excitement subsided, Luo Li realized that she had been excited for nothing.

"Alright! Faster-than-light travel technology is basically useless to us. Why don't you tell us something else that's useful? For example, can you reverse engineer the weapons on the Engineers' or Predators' ships?"

Chu Xuan desperately wanted to research faster-than-light travel technology, but he knew that what he needed most right now was to demonstrate the value of the wreckage so that Luo Li would have a reason not to punish him. "I need to try before I can give you an answer."

So, Luo Li cleared her throat and said, "Alright, starting tomorrow, you will only be able to rest for four hours a day, which includes time for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet."

During the rest of the time, you'll be researching the weapons on the alien warships. You can only rest normally once mass production is achieved!
This is your punishment! Do you understand?
