Chapter 3 No Gain
Of course we have to keep moving forward!
Rong Xiang must find the source of food, which is now ranked first.
He picked up the gun, carefully passed through the broken metal door, and then looked at the situation inside... It seemed that considering the problem of the "dining environment", the canteen was built on the outside of the base when it was built. That is, through the canteen's reinforced glass window, you can see the vast scene of the external universe.
At this time, the neutron star in the distance that was radiating gamma rays was just emitting a light blue halo, which gave the cold color to the messy canteen. Blood and traces of battle can be seen everywhere. Rong Xiang also judged how terrible the lethality of the alienated beast was through a blood-soaked claw mark on the wall... This kind of creature is not terrible in front of human weapons, but what is terrible is its natural hunter-like nature.
Rong Xiang just judged from the blood marks on the ground and various destruction marks that many people were probably attacked without any warning. So the direction of the attack?
Rong Xiang looked down at the direction of the blood splashing under her feet, then looked up suddenly... but saw a black vent vent blowing outwards on top of her head...
Almost immediately, he stepped apart two steps below the vent. Then he made a judgment in his heart: "It turned out that it was an attack from the air supply duct, which would be troublesome... And there were only blood here but no corpses. Obviously, these corpses have become food for alienated beasts."
Rong Xiang could only be more alert, but still did not change his action plan. He continued to explore deep into the cafeteria... After passing the messy restaurant, he soon came to the kitchen part. There were not many traces of combat here, because the kitchen in the interstellar base actually had nothing, only rows of transmission pipes for conveying ingredients.
This canteen is just for employees who are used by ordinary lower-level workers. Of course, it will not cook dishes with fresh ingredients like the canteen used by management, but will use various nutritional solution to mix and match various flavors of nutritious meals. Although it will also take into account the taste and visual effects, after all, it is artificially synthesized and dishes cooked with natural ingredients.
However, Rong Xiang was not picky about the crisis of food cuts. His goal was to go to the food warehouse deeper in the kitchen to find these stock nutrient solution.
But something disappointed him happened. When he found the food warehouse along these nutrient solution transmission channels, he found that the door to the food warehouse had been opened!
"I was taken first!" Rong Xiang immediately made a judgment in her heart, but after a moment of pause, she immediately turned around and no longer had any nostalgia for the food warehouse.
He walked so simply that he knew that even if there were still residual ingredients in it, he would never be able to eat them under gamma radiation. The only reason that supported him to come here at a huge risk was that the ingredients for him to fill his stomach might be found here. Since it is certain that there would be no discoveries in it, he shouldn't stay here to take risks anymore.
So he quickly returned the same way. In this base that had been occupied by alienated beasts, only the safe house where his former man had lived for half a year could be said to be absolutely safe.
But when he stepped into the restaurant again, his whole body stiffened and he felt his blood cold... because he saw a ball of dark things hanging down from a ventilation opening at the top of the restaurant!
It was an alienated beast with a slender body, covered with dark and dense armor, just like a snake on the earth. However, it still has very long and powerful claws... Judging from the claw marks on the wall observed by Rong Xiang, it may have an attack coefficient of more than 2.0!
Although the defense coefficient of the Black Rock 3 combat uniform is higher, reaching 3.7, if it suffers continuous attacks of more than 2.0, it will soon be unable to withstand it.
Rong Xiang's muscles were tense. If he were still the useless boy in his previous life, he would have turned around and ran away. But he was observing calmly, and then he found that the hanging alienated beast did not seem to have discovered his existence, and the beast's eyes were half open and half closed, looking like he had not woken up.
So he guessed that this should have been alarmed by the slight movement he came. But he was only slightly awakened from his sleep, and did not notice or realize that someone had invaded its "territory". At this time, his irritability as a former mercenary king made him want to pick up his gun and shoot a bullet... But he knew that he could not, because he could not confirm whether there was only this alienated beast here. If more alienated beasts were attracted by the gunshots, then he might be really finished.
Rong Xiang calmed down, and then he took a step forward firmly and carefully... He did not choose to retreat, but made a more positive and bold decision.
His back was close to the restaurant wall, avoiding all the vents above his head, and quietly detoured towards the restaurant exit step by step. At the same time, his eyes were always staring at the alienated beast, not letting go of all its movements.
The alienated beast that had not woken up still looked half-dream and half-awake, but its body had hung upside down from the vent, and it looked like it was more than three meters long. Although it squinted its eyes, it had been stretching its body subconsciously, as if it was stretching when it had just woken up.
In the process, Rong Xiang had quietly moved to the entrance of the restaurant, and was about to walk out of the terrifying canteen after taking another two steps... But accidents often happened at this time. Rong Xiang's tactical actions were not at all wrong, but it was precisely because of his direct look full of vigilance that the alienated beast, who was also sensitive to perception, noticed the abnormality.
The originally half-closed beast eyes suddenly opened wide, and its pupils, which were like vipers, turned sharply and pointed at Rong Xiang... or in other words, they responded to his gaze!
The moment he looked straight at the cold and ferocious beast's eyes, Rong Xiang's heart suddenly stopped, and then his scalp was numb and adrenaline was quickly secreted. His rich experience had already made him make the most correct physical reaction under the current situation... He did not stop at all, and immediately bent forward and came to the damaged door of the canteen as quickly as possible.
When he stood up again, he had already half-kneeled and steadily set up the gr-100 with his hands to complete the most standard aiming and shooting tactical movements.
At the same time, the alienated beast that discovered his existence had fallen from the ventilation hole. When he lay on the ground, he was like a huge lizard. He immediately raised his head and rushed towards Rong Xiang with force... Its movement was so swift. If Rong Xiang hadn't made a correct response at the first time, he would have really not even had time to lift the gun.
But Rong Xiang had already set up a gun, so now the alienated beast was a beat slower even if it was fast, and all he needed to do was pull the trigger...
