Geralt of Rivia: The White Wolf

Chapter 58 Sneak Attack

As Chu Xuan led the way, he kept an eye on the room numbers above the doors, thinking to himself:

"I just came out of room 16, and now I've passed room 17. It seems my deduction was correct."

At this moment, Chu Xuan stopped in front of a wall, on which was a simple pipeline diagram.

Chu Xuan pointed to a yellow lightning bolt symbol on the wall and said:

"We are now between room seventeen and room eighteen, according to the location of the energy room marked on the map."

"The control room of this spaceship should be in room number twenty-seven."

Zheng Zha was overjoyed upon hearing this and patted Chu Xuan on the shoulder, saying:

"You're something else, you weren't just bragging."

Zhan Lan happily exclaimed, "Then let's hurry up and head to the control room!"

So the group started jogging and, led by Chu Xuan, sped up their journey.

As the group arrived at room number twenty-one, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out nearby, interspersed with faint cries of agony between the gunfire.

Everyone's expression changed, they stopped in their tracks, and became wary. Zheng Zha said with a grim face, "It should be those people who left earlier."

Chu Xuan said calmly, "It was indeed those people. They must have encountered aliens."

"While the aliens are distracted by them, let's hurry to the control room."

After saying that, Chu Xuan took another step.

Zheng Zha hesitated, his feet not moving, and he looked at Zhu Peng and the others with a troubled expression.

Zhu Peng avoided eye contact, and Li Xiaoyi further urged, "Brother Zheng Zha, have you forgotten what our agreement was?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan stopped and looked at Zheng Zha with a puzzled expression, saying:

"Do you really want to go and save those people?"

Why?

"According to my plan, this is the best way to complete the task. Your choice will add a lot of variables to the final result."

Geralt crossed his arms and remained silent, waiting for Zheng Zha's reply.

Geralt acknowledges Zheng Zha's kindness, but also hopes that he can make more mature choices when faced with certain decisions.

Because when I first went out to take on missions as a demon hunter, I was just like Zheng Zha is now.

Therefore, Geralt allows Zheng Zha's current naivety and kindness, believing that Zheng Zha simply hasn't experienced enough.

Zheng Zha sighed and said:

Let's go!

At this moment, Zhan Lan calmly asked:

"If I remember correctly, the alien is very vulnerable when it first parasitizes and when it first bursts out of the chest."

"Now is probably the best time for us to eliminate them."

"Of course, that is, provided there aren't too many mature Xenomorphs over there."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha's eyes lit up as he looked at Geralt.

Geralt twitched his nose and sniffed the aroma:

"There's more than one unfamiliar flavor; there are at least four."

As soon as he finished speaking, Geralt's expression changed. "Something's wrong. The unfamiliar smell has suddenly become stronger."

At the same time, Tang Zichen also looked warily around the corner behind her and said:

Something's coming.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha and the others' expressions changed.

Geralt calmly commanded, "Zhu Peng, set up your guns. Zhang Jie, watch your back."

At the same time, Geralt took out three powerful machine guns and handed them to Overlord, Zero, and Chu Xuan.

Li Shuaixi said with some longing, "Could you give me a gun too?"

Geralt refused, saying, "No, you've never used a gun before, you might accidentally hurt your teammates."

However, while Geralt refused to give Li Shuaixi a gun, he did hand him a special alloy machete.

Li Shuaixi gripped the knife handle tightly, nervously scanning the area ahead.

"It's coming!"

Geralt, noticing the increasingly strong scent at the tip of his nose, spoke up to remind him.

The next second, three slender monsters, each over two and a half meters tall, suddenly rushed out from around the corner towards Geralt and the others.

These three aliens were incredibly fast, their bodies covered in streamlined silver carapaces, and they darted over like three dark shadows.

"Da da da da da..."

Zhu Peng didn't even have time to see what the alien looked like; he only saw three dark figures dart out from around the corner before instinctively pulling the trigger.

In an instant, the rotary machine gun in Zhu Peng's hand roared fiercely, sparks flew from the muzzle, and bullets rained down on the passage ahead.

The three aliens were stopped halfway by a barrage of bullets fired from Zhu Peng's rotary machine gun.

The dense barrage of bullets struck the alien's hard shell, sparks flying everywhere. It let out a piercing howl, its body being thrown backward by the impact of the bullets.

Zhu Peng slowly moved the muzzle of his gun, trying to bring all three aliens into the firing range.

One of the aliens suddenly pushed off the ground with its two hind claws, advancing instead of retreating, and charged towards the barrage of bullets.

The other two aliens, however, took the opportunity to cunningly twist their bodies and darted away around the corner, disappearing from the spot.

The alien that was going against the flow of bullets had its hard shell riddled with deep craters from the relentless barrage of bullets.

Then, the craters on the silver hull were pierced by subsequent bullets, and dark green blood gushed out from the bullet holes, splashing onto the steel walls of the cabin and making a "sizzling" corrosion sound.

The alien clawed wildly, trying to use its claws to escape, but its claws were quickly broken by bullets fired from Zhu Peng's rotary machine gun.

At the same time, just as Zheng Zha and the others relaxed slightly, Tang Zichen suddenly jumped back from his spot and shouted:

"Watch out for what's above you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five long, thin alien tails, like steel spikes, suddenly shot out from the ventilation duct above everyone's heads with a "ripping" sound as if the duct was being torn apart, aiming at Geralt and the others.

Geralt's mind raced, and with a surge of magic, he cast the Quen sign. His orange armor glowed, instantly blocking the alien's tail stab.

Geralt then swiftly swung his Yamato upwards, severing the alien tail that was thrusting towards him.

Li Shuaixi was holding a machete, completely focused on Zhu Peng firing in front of him, and had no time to react.

Fortunately, Zheng Zha pulled him back, causing the alien tail that was originally aimed at his head to pierce his left arm instead.

In an instant, Li Shuaixi's left scapula was shattered by the tip of the alien's tail, which was covered in slime.

The other tail stabbed towards Chu Xuan's head, but at the critical moment, Chu Xuan's eyes went blank, and he dodged the alien's fatal blow by turning to the side and looking up at an incredible angle.

At the same time, while dodging, Chu Xuan picked up his light machine gun and pulled the trigger towards the location of the alien that was stabbing him.

Another alien tail was aimed at Zhan Lan's head. Just as Tang Zichen warned her, Zhan Lan inexplicably felt a needle-like pain in her temples and subconsciously took a step back, just in time to avoid the attack aimed at her head.

The tip of the slimy alien tail continued to stab downwards, grazing Zhan Lan's eye, and shattered the front of Zhan Lan's left chest.

In an instant, white bits of flesh gushed out along with red blood. Zhan Lan instinctively clutched her left chest, staggered, and sat down on the ground.
