Chapter 20 Taking the Initiative

"Finally, what I want to tell you is, please review our Nightmare Imprint again, take a close look at the content of our mission: Protect the core engine of this Valkyrie spaceship from being destroyed within three days! Not to protect the personal safety of RD members within three days, let alone prevent the swarm from attacking the spaceship within three days! As long as we return what these beasts want to them, will these guys waste their teeth, claws, and venom on this cold, bloodless metal behemoth? That's the only way to complete the mission!"

"............"

Thinking of Fang Senyan's words, a chill ran down the spines of both Reef and Mogansha. They couldn't help but chew on the Nightmare Space's reminder again: So the only enemies you will face in the short term are beasts and indigenous residents, and of course... your own people.

Before, the two had understood the words "your own people" to mean contractors. But now it seems that this understanding is probably wrong.

Before the first mission is completed, there is a possibility of infighting among the contractors due to uneven distribution of benefits, but it is an exaggeration to elevate it to the level of the enemy. Under the enormous pressure of the vast sea of beasts, no one would even entertain these crooked thoughts.

The target pointed to by this mission prompt: should be the RD staff hiding in the upper levels of the spaceship!

At this time, Fang Senyan walked over with a murderous look on his face, with faint bloodstains under his feet extending far into the darkness. In Fang Senyan's hand, he held the blood-dripping silver-white metal card leading to the upper level!

At this time, the layer of low-key and silent shell that Fang Senyan had previously disguised himself with had completely shattered, giving people the feeling of being ferocious, powerful, and a sharp and unrestrained arrogance!

But just as Fang Senyan was about to swipe the card towards the identity verification slot next to him, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he abruptly handed the identity card he was holding to Reef next to him, then whispered in the team channel:

"Do as I say."

After saying that, Fang Senyan took half a step back and stood behind Reef again, lowering his eyebrows and averting his eyes, the darkness concealing his face, and his entire temperament also changed strangely. All that could be seen was his strong figure and clenched fists. In this instant, Reef became the core of the team again.

No more than ten seconds later, a group of people walked in from the end of the spaceship passage.

This group of people looked very tired and were covered in blood, but they had a cohesive aura that pressed straight forward, as if even the air was retreating and compressing step by step with their movements.

A tall woman with long hair fluttering in the wind walked in front. Although her face could not be seen clearly, one could feel a unique temperament! Charming like a knife, capable like a knife, and fluttering like a knife!

Every step she took seemed to be clouds rising and falling, decisive and vigorous! And the contractors around her were guarding her flanks, as if they would turn into her claws and weapons at any time to eliminate any obstacles!

Seeing this woman, Fang Senyan couldn't help but think of Metal Mentor, that paranoid, tenacious, and even stubbornly crazy woman! In that "Metal Digestion System" magic key array, Fang Senyan had personally witnessed the shock of beauty turning into white bones in an instant! But after hearing the news that Metal Mentor might be resurrected, Fang Senyan felt a deep sense of threat and the huge pressure of thorns on his back.

In Fang Senyan's mind before, Metal Mentor's strength was much stronger than Zi's, but now it seems that the positions between the two should be reversed.

Zi!!

At this time, this woman Zi actually led the core members and some ordinary members of the Illuminati to this place!

The number of people from the Illuminati who infiltrated the spaceship was obviously much larger than Fang Senyan's group, so the difficulty of avoiding the eyes and ears of others and sneaking in quietly also increased! So, strictly speaking, Zi's judgment and estimation of the current situation were not at all below Fang Senyan's, but it was only because of the size of the team that she was delayed for a little time.

But this little time was enough to form the difference of one step behind, every step behind. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, Zi's team has an absolute advantage over Fang Senyan's team in terms of overall strength, but behind this absolute advantage is the drawback of being one step late due to the relatively large team size.

Facing the core team of the Illuminati who rushed over, Reef suddenly took a step sideways, stepping from the shadows into the center of the passage! He took a big step, stepped heavily, so that the hard soles of his shoes collided with the steel floor, directly making a crisp "bang" sound.

In this instant, Reef's appearance was like a sudden and thick mountain stretching across the Illuminati's path. This mountain may not be steep, but it has a majestic feeling stretching for thousands of miles, as if it would not collapse until the end of the world! His sudden appearance even made the Illuminati unable to stop at the same time, and a feeling of soreness in their noses arose, as if there was an invisible wall in front of them and they had crashed into it head-on!

"It's you?" Zi couldn't help but say in surprise. The three diamond-shaped light spheres rotating around her suddenly accelerated, indicating that her mood was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

Reef, who was slightly lowering his head, suddenly raised his palm, and the silver-white card dripping with blood was impressively between his fingers:

"I know what you're thinking, Zi! But I also know what you're looking for! I'm sorry you're late. This card is the only key to the upper-level passage of this Valkyrie transport ship! Or do you want to try whether I destroy this card first, or you kill me first and blast this card out?"

Akafir took a big step forward and sneered:

"Reef, since you were lucky enough to pick up a small life in the team wipe, you should cherish it instead of rushing to die!"

Reef ignored him and said to Zi:

"You have to think clearly. The RD people on the upper level of the spaceship may modify the authority of this identity card at any time to invalidate it. The more time you delay, the greater the risk!"

Zi took a deep breath, but said very decisively:

"What do you want?"

Reef said decisively:

"Of course, it's cooperation."

Zi said lightly:

"Cooperation? Okay! Then give me the card, or you can open the door right away."

Reef glanced at Zi coldly:

"If you think it's interesting to joke like this, then I don't mind continuing to spend time with you here. My condition is: Team alliance for three days! The alliance must have a no-harm clause, you pay the fees, and the spoils obtained during the alliance period are divided fifty-fifty!"

Before Zi could speak, Sable in the rear had already stepped forward and roared:

"You're dreaming!"

But just as Sable's voice fell, Zi had already said very decisively:

"Okay! Your new team name!"

Sable turned his head in astonishment, shouting anxiously:

"Zi!"

Zi slowly shook her head and sighed slightly:

"We are one step late, and time waits for no one, so we have no choice at all. I can't take everyone's lives to pay for my impulse and a mere 20,000 universal points!"

Fang Senyan, who was in the dark, couldn't help but start to sigh at Zi's decision. Such a woman, she does things without any procrastination. She may be willing to delegate power for small things, but she decides major things in one word and is very decisive. This style of doing things is like the Force she controls, sharp, sharp, but invisibly filling your side!

In less than ten seconds, Fang Senyan and Mogansha received a prompt from the Nightmare Imprint:

"Your team has reached a temporary alliance contract (advanced) with the Illuminati (team) for a period of seventy-two hours. During the time the alliance is maintained, the allies cannot harm each other."

After the alliance is concluded, it is notarized by the Nightmare Space, so you can basically rest assured. Reef held the silver-white identity card and swiped it towards the electronic lock in front of him! With a click, the identity card was swallowed.

Immediately afterwards, a spiral steel staircase slowly descended from above. Yaomeng among the core members of the Illuminati had suddenly turned into a mist and rushed straight up. It seemed that her speed was not fast, but in fact, she flew past in an instant. Even Reef, who was the closest, was preempted by her.

However, Yaomeng paused at the staircase entrance, because a warning prompt in electronic synthesized sound came from the side, saying that this was a restricted area, and if she insisted on entering, all battlefield contribution points of RD Company would be deducted, and she would be attacked by all shipborne weapons.

Since she had come here, Yaomeng must have cleared all the battlefield contribution points of RD Company in advance, but the latter sentence could not but make people retreat!

"Attacked by all shipborne weapons!"

At this time, Fang Senyan had rushed forward, sneering with confidence in the team channel:

"The original intention of designing the Valkyrie transport ship was for interstellar transport, not for combat. Besides, what era is it now? Is it still the age of sailing when boarding and melee combat would occur? Even warships cannot install too many weapons internally. If there is a possibility of installing weapon systems on its external structure, it is absolutely impossible to add too many shipborne weapons internally. More importantly, if it really is a restricted area, they would have swept over with a volley long ago, why would they waste so much time talking to you?"
