Chapter 3 No Gain

Of course we have to keep moving forward!

Rong Xiang must find a source of food, which is the first thing on the list now.

Picking up the gun, he carefully passed through the broken metal door, and then looked at the situation inside... It seems that considering the 'dining environment' issue, when the canteen was originally built, it was built outside the base. That is, through the

Through the reinforced glass windows of the cafeteria, you can see the vast scene of the outer space.

At this time, the neutron star in the distance that was emitting gamma rays was emitting a light blue halo, giving the messy canteen a cold color. Blood stains and traces of battle could be seen everywhere.

Rong Xiang also judged how lethal the alienated beast was from a blood-soaked claw mark on the wall... This creature is not scary in the face of human weapons, but what is scary is its natural hunter-like nature.

nature.

Just from the bloodstains on the ground and various signs of damage, Rong Xiang judged that many people were probably attacked unprepared. So what was the direction of the attack?

Rong Xiang lowered his head and glanced at the direction where the blood splattered at his feet, then suddenly looked up... only to see a dark vent above his head, still blowing wind outwards...

Almost immediately, he staggered two steps and left directly below the vent. Then he made a judgment in his heart: "It turns out that the attack was launched from the air supply duct, so this will be troublesome... and here

There are only blood stains but no corpses. Apparently these corpses have become food for the alienated beasts."

Rong Xiang could only be more vigilant, but still did not change his action plan. He continued to explore deeper into the cafeteria... After passing the messy restaurant, he quickly came to the kitchen. There were not many traces of combat here, because

There is actually nothing in the kitchen in the interstellar base, only rows of transmission pipes for transporting ingredients.

This canteen is just a staff canteen for ordinary lower-level workers. Of course, it will not use fresh ingredients to cook dishes like the canteen used by management. Instead, it will use various nutritional solutions to mix and match nutritious meals of various flavors. Although it will also take care of

The taste and visual effects are important, but after all, there is no way to compare synthetic products with dishes cooked with natural ingredients.

Rong Xiang, facing the crisis of running out of food, had no choice. His goal was to search for these nutrient solutions in the food storage deeper in the kitchen.

But something disappointing happened to him. When he found the food bank along the nutrient solution transmission pipes, he found that the door of the food bank had been opened!

"Someone got there first!" Rong Xiang immediately made a judgment in his mind, and after he paused for a moment, he immediately turned around and no longer had any nostalgia for the food depot.

He left so simply because he knew that even if there were residual ingredients inside, they would never be eaten under gamma radiation. The only reason why he took the huge risk to come here was that he might find food for him here.

Ingredients to satisfy his hunger. Now that he is sure that nothing will be found inside, he should not stay here and take risks.

So he quickly returned the same way. In this base that had been occupied by alien beasts, only the safe house where his predecessor had lived for half a year could be said to be absolutely safe.

But when he stepped into the restaurant again, his whole body froze and he felt that his blood was freezing... because he saw a dark thing hanging from a vent on the top of the restaurant!

It was a slender alien beast, covered with pitch-black and dense armor, just like a snake on earth. But it also had very long and powerful claws... What Rong Xiang observed on the wall

Judging from the claw marks, I'm afraid it has an attack coefficient of more than 2.0!

Although the defense coefficient of the Black Rock Type 3 combat suit is higher, reaching 3.7, if it is continuously attacked by more than 2.0, it will soon be unable to withstand it.

Rong Xiang's muscles all over his body were tense. If he were still the good-for-nothing boy he was before, he would have turned around and ran away long ago. But he was observing calmly, and then he discovered that the hanging alien beast didn't seem to notice him.

existence, and the beast's eyes were half open and half closed, looking like it was not awake.

So he guessed that it should have been disturbed by the slight movement when he came. But it was only slightly awakened from its deep sleep, and he did not find or realize that someone was invading its 'territory'. At this time, as a former mercenary king, the irritable

It made him want to pick up the gun and shoot a bunch of bullets... but he knew he couldn't, because he couldn't confirm whether there was only one alien beast here. If more alien beasts were attracted by the sound of gunfire, then he might be

It's really going to end.

Rong Xiang calmed down, and then took a step forward firmly and carefully... He did not choose to retreat, but made a more positive and bold decision.

He pressed his back against the wall of the restaurant, avoiding all the vent areas above his head, and quietly walked towards the exit of the restaurant step by step. At the same time, his eyes were always fixed on the alienated beast, no matter what.

Let go of all its movements.

The alienated beast that had not woken up still looked half asleep, but its body had hung upside down from the vent, elongated to a length of more than three meters. Although it squinted its eyes, it had been subconsciously stretching its body.

, just like stretching when you first wake up.

During this process, Rong Xiang had quietly moved to the entrance of the restaurant, and he was about to walk out of this terrible canteen in just two steps... But accidents often happen at this time. There was nothing wrong with Rong Xiang's tactical actions, but it was also

Because his direct gaze full of vigilance made the alienated beast, which was also sensitive, detect something abnormal.

The originally half-closed beast's eyes suddenly widened, and the viper-like pupils turned sharply to focus on Rong Xiang...or rather, in response to his gaze!

The moment he looked directly into the cold and ferocious beast's eyes, Rong Xiang's heart suddenly stopped, and then his scalp became numb and adrenaline was secreted rapidly. And his rich experience has allowed him to make the most correct physical reaction in the current situation...

…He didn’t hesitate at all, and immediately bent forward and arrived at the damaged door of the canteen as quickly as possible.

When he stood up again, he was already in a half-kneeling posture, holding the gr-100 firmly with both hands and completing the most standard tactical action of aiming and shooting.

At the same time, the alienated beast that discovered his presence had also fallen from the vent. When lying on the ground, it looked like a huge lizard. Then it immediately raised its head and used its hind limbs to rush towards Rong Xiang... Its...

The movement was so swift that if Rong Xiang hadn't reacted correctly at the first opportunity, he might not even have had time to raise his gun.

But Rong Xiang has already set up his gun, so no matter how fast the alienated beast is now, it is still a beat slower, and all he needs to do is to pull the trigger...
