Vol 1: Chapter 1-1.

Zheng Zha (Zheng) always felt that he was dead in reality. Go to work, come home, eat meals, go to bed and wake up; he didn't know where the meaning of his life lay. It was definitely not in that face of his fat supervisor, not in that white collar woman's body that he met in the bar, and not in this steel and concrete forest – the modern city.

Zheng felt he was rotting. Going to rot from the age of 24 til the end of his life, then become a part of the earth and leave behind a name. No, not even a name, since no one would remember him. No one would remember a little white collar. Whether he lived as a truly graceful person or just pretended to be one, he was just a tiny piece of this world.

He wanted to change something. He wanted to have his meaning.

'Want to know the meaning of life? Want to live… a real life?'

When he turned on his computer at work today, a message popped up. This was obviously some newbie hacker seeking attention. It would force you to download a virus, whichever option you choose. Zheng laughed at it and was about to close it. Yet, his heart skipped a beat when his hand touched the mouse. He paused.

'Want to know the meaning of life? Want to live… a real life?'

Zheng felt a little lost. An indescribable force attracted him to put his finger on the mouse. Then he clicked on the YES button and lost consciousness.

Cold, shaking…

The moment he woke up, Zheng jumped up from the ground. He looked around in panic. The disparity of the vision of his office and the current environment caused a chaos in his head, but after a few seconds he woke up from the confusion.

"Not bad, you have the best quality of the bunch this time." A cold voice said.

Zheng turned his head around and saw a black haired guy sneering at him. This person was around 24 or 25, had a very common face, but the few scars on his face made him looked horrifying.

Black haired guy held a cigarette in his hand and took a deep smoke. His sight then looked past Zheng. That was when Zheng realized there were five people lying beside him. Three men and two women. Other than that, there were over ten westerners in this concealed room.

This was the compartment of a train and the train was moving very fast. The feelings of coldness and shaking were coming from the train.

"Where is this place? Who are you? Why am I here?", Zheng asked these people. Furthermore, due to the presence of westerners, he repeated it in English.

The westerners looked at him for a moment then turned their heads away. Only the black haired guy said to him, "Think carefully, it should have inserted everything into your head."

Think carefully? Zheng tried to recall everything. He only remembered when he saw the pop-up on the screen 'Want to know the meaning of life? Want to live… a real life?', and clicked YES, before he fell unconscious.

Wait… Zheng felt there was something in his head, something about survival and life.

This was a game. Whoever created this game was not known. Maybe it was God, maybe it was the Devil, or maybe they were aliens or humans from the future. Now he had became a player of this game, or maybe part of this game.

A game that brought together those who were lost in life but have yet to become a rotten person. When they chose this game they would be transported to various scenes in horror movies.

"It is Resident Evil 1 this time.[1] Your luck isn't bad, newbies. Getting such an easy horror movie on the first time. Even when you die it will be an easy death." The black haired guy took his last smoke then crushed the cigarette in his hand.

"Are you saying only our consciousness came inside the computer? Just like in novels? And when we complete this game our consciousness will go back to our bodies?" A chubby dude next to Zheng asked.

Black Haired took out a gun, a desert eagle. While handling the gun he said, "I don't know if it's consciousness or not, but you will feel pain, you will get injured, and you will die. And you were wrong, when you finish this movie, you will go to the next one. Maybe you have seen that movie or maybe not. Every time, God will bring in new members to replace those that died in the last movie. Every movie consists of seven to twenty people. In other words this is a very easy movie, we only have seven people here."

Chubby Dude said with a sneer, "How do you know those who died didn't go back to their body? Perhaps they chose to die willingly."

Black Haired raised his head suddenly, as though he had became a panther in this moment. He bent his knees and in a split second he's already on top of the chubby dude. His desert eagle stuffed inside the chubby dude's mouth.

"Then would you want to try and die? Can you imagine that unending terror? I lived through three movies. The first one was Nightmare on Elm Street 1.[2] There were 15 newbies in that movie and two experienced survivors. But do you want to know the ending? They all died in their dreams. Me and another person were the only ones that survived. Do you want to know how it feels to get killed by a stupid dream? Imagine everything around you becomes slithering rotten meat. You watch as a pair of scissors slowly cut through every bit of your body in a gruesome factory. Can you imagine the pain? You piece of shit! Do you want to die?"

Black Haired was shouting like a madman. His intent to kill was so vivid and obvious in his eyes. The chubby dude was scared and unable to move. And with a gun in his mouth, he couldn't even plead.

Zheng and the other four people persuaded them to break apart. Black Haired walked back to his seat and said, "Dying in an horror movie is a real death. Furthermore, when you die here you will be tortured by the devils in these movies. So if you don't have determination to live, I advise you to kill yourself now."

A girl with glasses said, "Then we don't have a way to return to our bodies?"

Black Haired said with a sneer, "I have been saying it's not your consciousness that came into the computer. Do you think humans have the technology to create this game? No, this is the work of God, we are nothing more than bugs in his eyes. We are thrown here to struggle just to entertain him. Both our bodies and consciousnesses have been brought to this world, and can't go back. At least I don't think we can go back."

The glasses girl had a sense of calmness. She thought for a moment and said, "By your tone, it seems like there's still a way to go back?"

Black Haired took a look at her and said, "The quality of this time's newbies isn't bad. You're right, there is hope to go back."

Everyone stared at him. "Every time you finish a mission–that is you lived through a movie–you will obtain 1000 points. You can exchange these points for a lot of things, such as the right to live in a movie for 100 days." Black Haired said.

A middle aged guy said, "Who would want to live in a horror movie? That's asking to die."

Black Haired remained quiet. Glasses Girl said, "No, I think I understand what he meant. There are many genres of horror movies, sci-fi like Resident Evil, where everything can be explained with science. You just have to go outside of where the main events are happening, then the rest of the world is normal.

Black Haired snapped his finger, "Bingo. You can indeed live in another part of this world normally for those days. Think about it, after experiencing a couple of life and death trials, the chance to live normally in this world is a blessing."

Zheng's body shivered. He thought he understood the meaning of this world a bit. Yes, the reason he was feeling rotten was because his life was boring. Once you experienced life and death, then the mundane life would become what you wish for.

Black Haired continued, "Other than exchanging for time, there are many other things. Such as this desert eagle with unlimited ammunition. It only took 100 points, that's 10 days of time. You can also use points to improve yourself, including intelligence, mental capacity, reaction time, cell vitality, muscle density, and immunization strength. In other words, if you survive through this movie, you can double your strength. If you lived through a hundred movies, you can become a super human."

Glasses Girl asked calmly, "Let's get back to the point, how many points does it take to get back to our world?"

"50000 points." Black Haired took out another cigarette. "If you don't use any points, you just have to live through fifty movies. Then you can go back."

Suddenly, everyone quieted down. According to this guy, if you don't use your points, it would be impossible to live through fifty movies.

"Of course, 1000 points is the base reward of every movie. You can do side quests in movies to earn points. Like when I explained everything to you, according to God's rule, explaining to newbies will reward 100 points. You should've noticed that special watch on your hand." He waved his left hand. There was a black metal watch.

Everyone looked at their own left wrist. There were a few lines of info on this watch. A timer that was counting down from 3 hours 7 minutes. A counter for zombies, hunters, newbies…

"You will get one point for every ten zombies you kill, 100 point for every hunter, and 1000 points for every newbie…" He looked at everyone with a wicked face. Only Zheng and the glasses girl looked back calmly at him.

"Of course that's negative 1000. Okay, if you have any other questions hurry up and ask. This movie is about to begin."

Glasses Girl looked at Zheng, then continued, "I have three more questions. I saw Resident Evil, the ending is the T-virus from the lab spreading throughout Racoon City. Then if we drive this car and leave the city, wouldn't that let us survive easily?"

Black Haired nodded and replied, "Take a look at your watch, there's a name on the upper left side, read it."

"One." Everyone read it out, then they noticed one of the westerners had a faint glow on him, then slowly faded away.

"This is the leader of the mercenaries in this movie. This movie belongs to a specified location genre. The plot only happens in the lab. In this kind of movie, you are not allowed to leave the plot area or stay too far away from the cast. If you stay further than 300 feet from One, then bang, you will have nothing left. Understand? Of course when One is dead in the movie this restriction will be moved to another cast." Black Haired explained.

Zheng then asked, "Who is this God that you have been mentioning?"

"God is the thing that manages our entrance to movies. It gives us points and you also exchange things through it. God is a ball of light. I don't really know what it is either."

Glasses Girl nodded and said, "One last question. This number, what does it mean?" She pointed to the timer counting down.

"This is the time that you must stay in this movie. Once the timer is over you will go to where God is and get your reward. There you will also wait for the next movie."

The train started to slow down. Black haired guy finished his cigarette and took out his desert eagle, "Okay, the plot is starting. The cast will be able to hear our conversations now. Remember, if they hear anything not belonging to this world or spoilers, 10 points will be deducted for every sentence. Well, newbies, try your best to survive."

Vol 1: Chapter 1-2.

The train slowly came to a stop. The mercenaries cautiously moved out. Black Haired was the first to follow. The glasses girl took a look at Zheng and the others, and followed them out. As One was moving further away, the rest moved out also.

Outside the train was a platform. Zheng recalled the movie, this was the beginning where people wanted to enter the Hive, and the entrance to the underground lab.

People followed the platform and soon came to the lab entrance, where a metal door blocked their way. On the door was a set of special symbols denoting the company of this lab and the danger of this place.

Zheng and the others followed the mercenaries to the door when a woman in red skirt suddenly turned to One and asked, "I want to know who you people are and what's going on here."

One looked at her then waved to the other mercenaries. They took out some devices from their bags and started unlocking. He then said to the woman, "You and I have the same employer. The mansion above us is an emergency entrance to the Hive. You are security operatives placed there to protect that entrance."

Zheng remembered this scene. This was where Alice asked about the cause of this event. Even though he had seen the movie and knows the truth behind it, experiencing this scene in person gave him a surreal feeling.

Alice seemed a little lost. She rubbed her wedding ring, and muttered, "What about this?"

One said, "Your marriage is a fake. Just part of your cover to protect the secrecy of the Hive."

"And what is the Hive?", one of the non-mercenary westerners asked. Zheng recognized this person also. Spence Sparks, he was the cause of this event. A business spy attempting to steal the T-virus.

One turned to a mercenary, "Show them."

He nodded, and brought up a screen on the laptop.

"Racoon City, nearest urban center. The mansion where we found you and gained access to the train, which in turn brought us to the Hive."

A building that looked like a bee's hive appeared on the screen.

"The Hive itself is located underground deep beneath the streets of Racoon City. A top secret research facility owned and operated by the Umbrella Corporation… Our position on the map is indicated by the heat signature."

As One explained, our location was shown on the laptop. We were standing on the platform on top of the Hive. Zheng knew this was a safe place but, not long afterwards, this area would become a death zone.

"And them?", Alice pointed to Zheng and the others.

Zheng panicked. They thought they were guests of this world and the cast would not interact with them. They would only need to avoid those monsters. Who would have guessed the main character would talk to them.

One said, "They are also security operatives. Company has their registered files. But I question if there's an error in corporate orders. Aside from one person, everyone else is just ordinary people."

This is probably the identity God gave them.

Spence then asked, "Why can't I remember anything?"

"The Hive has its own defense mechanisms, all computer controlled. A nerve gas was released into the house. Primary effect of the gas: complete unconsciousness lasting anything up to four hours. Secondary effects are varied, but can include acute memory loss."

"For how long?"

"Subjective. An hour, day, week."

Another non-mercenary westerner said, "So you're saying this place was attacked?"

One looked at him, "I'm afraid things are a little more complicated than that."

Zheng recognized this cast member also. He's Matt Addison, came here looking for his sister, who was a researcher inside the Hive. She found out the corporation was researching the T-virus and attempted to contact the government. The person she contacted was Alice. But before she could steal the virus, Spence stole the virus and leaked it. She later got infected and became a zombie.

Zheng was thanking the gods. He watched a lot of movies because his life was so boring. And sci-fi and horror were his favorite genres. Knowing what the plot was and who the main characters were would increase his chance of surviving. It's common sense that the main characters won't die whether it's a movie or a novel.

At this time a voice came from the door, "Sir! We've breached the Hive."

One nodded, then he looked at Zheng's group and sighed. He turned around and led the mercenaries to the door.

The door opened under the computer's control. It was totally black inside. One called a mercenary, "JD!"

That person nodded and put on night vision goggles. One paused for a moment, he turned to Black Haired and said, "Zhang Jie (Jie)!"

Jie took his desert eagle and just walked in. Zheng knew Black Haired also knew the plot. In Resident Evil 1, as long as the central computer system stayed on, they would be safe there. But once the computer system got shut down, this place would be filled with zombies and hunters.

It didn't take long for Jie to turn on the lights. The whole room was lit, you could also see a scenery of the modern city through the window. A scene that Zheng had enough of in his life.

The mercenaries and everyone went into the room. A female mercenary said, "Halon content has dissipated."

When Spence stole the T-virus, he broke a vial of it. Then the ventilation system spread the virus throughout the Hive. Everyone inside was infected. When the central computer system found out, it isolated the Hive and injected gas. The only thing left in the lab were zombies and hunters.

It seemed like Resident Evil was a popular movie. Everyone in Zheng's group saw it. All of them were leaning on the windows and looking outside. They weren't worried at this moment because they knew this was still a safe place.

Matt suddenly said, "Makes it easier to work underground, thinking there's a view."

Zheng hesitated a moment then put out his hand, "Zheng Zha… Uhm, I may be a security operative."

Matt's hands were handcuffed because his files were not in the corporation. He turned around with a bitter smile, "Handcuffed, I don't think we can shake hands like this… And I forgot my name."

Zheng gave him a friendly smile. Matt was a nice person in the movie. He's also an innocent person. He was just here to look for his sister and he tried to protect Alice until the end of the movie. He was one of the people that lived at the end.

On the other side, One and a few mercenaries got the elevator door open. But it was pitch black inside. They threw down a flare and saw that the elevator was at the bottom with the wires cut off.

"Looks like we're taking the stairs."

One turned to everyone, "Through the stairs, we must reach the bottom in ten minutes. Everyone follow."

The mercenaries were well trained, Alice had T-virus, Spence and Matt's stamina weren't bad either, Jie had gone through three movies already and probably enhanced himself.

Of the remaining six people, even though Zheng's a office worker, he liked to exercise and spent a day in the gym every week. According to him, this helped to take care of those women.

Glasses Girl looked skinny and, as a girl, her stamina was weaker than a man's. But she was smart enough to get a hold of the corner of Jie's shirt. So Jie supported part of her weight. He looked at her for a moment then continued moving in front of her.

The chubby dude looked about twenty-eight. Before long, he was panting, and his speed slowed down.

There were three more people. A middle aged man, probably a laborer. He was not running fast but kept up with everyone. A middle aged woman. She was doing worse than the chubby dude. She's at the point where she's walking step by step. The last one was a boy in his teens. His face looked very common and his body didn't seem strong. But like the middle aged man, he kept up with everyone.

After a while, you could no longer see the chubby dude and middle aged woman from behind. Zheng was following close to Jie all along and suddenly heard, "Two out."

Zheng asked curiously. "What two out?"

Jie sneered, "Them! Don't think of my words as a joke. This is a real world. We will die here. Perhaps you are still not taking this seriously and think of this as a movie, right? Being more than three hundred feet away from him you will explode, this is one of the rules. They are going to die!"

Bang.

Just as Jie finished his sentence, two explosions came from above. Zheng's group looked toward it with a daze, but aside from the stairs there was nothing else.

Vol 1: Chapter 2-1.

Zheng and the newbies followed the mercenaries in panic. They didn't know what to do. They came from a modern, civilized world and when they'd first experienced these fantasy-esque scenes, they thought it was all just a dream. To be honest, Zheng was rather delighted.

After being bored with the real world, he needed some kind of stimulation. Whether it's one night stands, getting into fights, or even drugs, they were just part of the real world. Once you wake up, you would be back at that boring world. But that's not what he wanted. He wanted something more exciting.

He was delighted when he first learned of this world. Not only could he experience all these worlds, but he could also enhance himself with points. Because he saw so many horror movies, as long as the first few worlds belonged to movies he had seen, then he would just become stronger and never die. Once he became strong enough and nothing could kill him, he would be able to go to any world and live however he like. And if he got bored of this place, he would just go back to the real world.

That was what Zheng imagined. Until the sound of those two explosions came. It shattered his fantasy. Heaven didn't exist, and this place wasn't heaven. This was hell. He was just a little bug in the eyes of God. Human lives were worth nothing more than just explosions. He… didn't want to die.

The cast didn't notice those explosions. They didn't even notice two people were missing. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, a mercenary said, "Status. Red Queen is locked onto us. She knows we're here."

"Who's the Red Queen?" Alice asked One with curiosity.

"State of the art artificial intelligence. She is the computer that controls the Hive."

Everyone reached the bottom. Jie turned around and looked at the people panting with a smirk. "Keep going guys. You're lucky if you live through this. To be honest, luck is already by your side. This movie has a very easy difficulty. One of the few movies where you can solve problems with guns. Once you survive this movie, you will have 1000 points to enhance yourself."

As the group moved forward, laboratories appeared on the sides. These labs were filled with water. Corpses of researchers floating inside. Zheng also knew that these corpses were already infected. Once the central computer restarts, they will be freed from any restrains.

"This is going to slow us down. Our route to the Queen takes us straight through these labs," a mercenary said.

"Rain, JD, see how bad the flooding is." One ordered. "Kaplan, Jie, find us an alternate route."

Jie waved at Zheng's group and went ahead casually.

After the four were gone, Spence asked, "What happened here?"

One looked at everyone then answered, "Five hours ago, Red Queen went homicidal. Sealed the Hive and killed everyone down here. When we realized what was happening, my team was dispatched to shut her down."

The main characters looked puzzled. "Why did she do it?" Alice asked.

One shook his head, "That we don't know. But outside interference is a possibility."

As One was talking, a figure appeared through the window of the lab closest to Matt. He looked closely, realized that was a floating corpse and jumped back.

Everyone was surprised, even Zheng's group. They looked toward that lab and saw a pale female corpse. The cast quickly calmed down, but Zheng's group was scared and shivering. Perhaps you couldn't feel it in the theaters, but when you were experiencing this, especially when you knew that corpse was a zombie, this sense of fear was unimaginable.

Zheng's mind blanked out. Then a hand tapped his shoulder. The slightest sound was enough to freak anyone out this moment. He immediately jumped backward a few feets before turning around to take a look. The glasses girl was standing there laughing at him.

"Hey! Why don't we introduce ourselves? Since our lives are on the same line."

The three men agreed. Glasses Girl then said, "My name is Zhan Lan (Lan), sounds like a boy's name right? I am an author. Before I came to this place, I always complained about the lack of inspiration. Little did I know I came to a world with limitless inspiration. This is probably retribution. Ha!"

Zheng returned with a friendly smile, "Zheng Zha. I was a manager. Uhm. Before I came here I complained about the world being too boring and wanted some excitement… Though this place seems like too much."

Lan smiled and shook his hands, "That's what I felt too!"

The middle age man smiled along with them, "Mou Gang (Mou), I was a truck driver. Before I came here I complained about my wife being too stingy, and my son didn't live up to our expectations. I clicked YES when I was playing online games with my friends, then I came here."

At last the boy said, "Li Xiaoyi (Xiaoyi), high school student. Well, I complained about a lot of things, but this place doesn't seem bad. As long as I live, I can become a super human. According to what Jie said, you may be able to retain your powers if you manage to go back. I am tired of being bullied in school. If I can go back, I will kill those assholes!"

The boy let out a savage expression. The three adults looked at each other. They knew that this boy was probably bullied constantly in school, he's disappointed in reality. It seemed like the common ground for everyone here is being disappointed with reality.

Jie and Kaplan came back. When he walked passed Lan, he suddenly tapped on her shoulder heavily. Lan let out a scream while Jie walked over to One laughing out loud.

"Sir. I found an alternate route, but it's gonna cost us time. We double back, cut through Dining Hall B, then we're right back on track." Kaplan said.

By now, the other two mercenaries were back also. "Sir, no go. The whole level's flooded."

One nodded, "Alright, we're behind schedule. So let's move it."

Zheng's group followed them reluctantly. Luckily the mercenaries didn't start running again. Finally, they stopped in front of a metal door. They opened the door with a computer and cautiously moved in while holding onto their guns.

This was a room with many metal cases. Anyone who watched the movie should know, inside those cases were Hunters. Once the central computer closed down, they would be a hundred times more dangerous than zombies.

A mercenary looked at his computer, "Dining Hall B. That's what it says on the map."

One walked over to him while Matt chimed in, "Maybe the corporation's keeping a few secrets down here."

One looked at Matt without answering, "JD, Rain, and Jie keep the prisoner here and secure the exit."

At the same time, a mercenary said, "Sir, halon levels are nonexistent in this room. I think the system malfunctioned."

One nodded, "JD, Rain and Jie, there may be survivors. Give me a search line, but keep it tight."

The three nodded, but Jie sneered and took out a tobacco. He knew that there were no survivors, though there were quite a few zombies.

Lan suddenly walked over to Jie and asked in a low voice, "I want to know something, can we change the movie's plot?"

Jie nodded, "Continue, what else do you want to ask?"

She laughed, "Can we bomb this place? If we kill all the Hunters in this room, then we could gain a few thousand points."

Jie laughed with her, "You're not wrong, we could get a few thousand points for bombing this place, but I have two questions. First, do you think they will let us do it?" He pointed to the mercenaries.

"They don't know what these are, and don't know what happens after the central computer is closed. If they see us doing something strange, they would probably shoot us first thing. Which may release the Hunters earlier. God wouldn't let you change the plot so easily, and even if you did, it will probably increase the difficulty and cause some accidents. Understand?"

"The second question is, what do you rely on the most to survive in these movies?"

Lan paused for a bit, she touched her forehead and answered, "Power? No, luck? It's not reliable… Probably knowing the plot?"

"Bingo. Knowing the plot is our biggest advantage, so when I am not a hundred percent confident, I won't change anything. And whoever tries to change the plot for points, I don't mind sending him to hell."

Zheng was listening to their conversation all along. Then he realized Jie was looking at him with a sense of pity and mockery… as though he was looking at a dead man. This made Zheng very uncomfortable.

At this moment, One said, "Okay, the rest of you come with me."

They went through a few doors and arrived at a control room. Of course the Red Queen had already gone out of control. This room could no longer control the whole laboratory.

Vol 1: Chapter 2-2.

Kaplan turned on three computers. His computer skills were definitely first class in Zheng's eyes. His hands were typing non-stop across three keyboards, yet several minutes passed and the door leading to the central computer was still closed.

Rain asked, "What's taking so long?"

Kaplan replied without taking his eyes off the computer, "Red Queen's defenses are in place. She's making it difficult."

Just as he finished talking, the door finally opened. One nodded, "Let's pack it up." Then he turned to Zheng's group, "You stay here."

Behind the door was a corridor about ten meters long, with walls made of glasses, different from the steel and metal walls on the outside.

One walked in first. He was moving very cautiously, being careful with every step. Even then, when he reached the center of the corridor, his whole body shivered. Because the glass walls suddenly lit up.

Kaplan's voice came from the speakerphone, "The lights are automated. Nothing to worry about."

'It's obviously the lasers from the self defense system. Automated lights and nothing to worry about?', Zheng thought.

Then as he was about to say something, a hand pulled him. He turned around and saw Lan shaking her head.

One finished setting up the transmitter, it was a device similar to a cell phone. He put it on the sensor of the door. Kaplan started typing again. After a while, the door on the other side of the corridor finally opened.

One let out a deep breath and waved to the people outside, "Move up."

Alice sudden asked, "What is that?"

Kaplan was nearest to her, "That's what will shut the Queen down. Delivers a massive electrical charge. Scrambles the mainframe and forces it to reboot."

As the mercenaries were about to enter the corridor, Zheng couldn't help but shout, "Wait, wait. Don't you feel strange? This computer seems too useless just letting you reboot it like this. I don't think things are this simple, there's probably something wrong with this corridor."

The mercenaries stopped and looked at him. Lan let out a sigh and took off her hand. Then she moved over to where Alice was.

One came out from the corridor and silently stared at Zheng. "Okay. You, and you, will come with us." He pointed to Zheng and Mou.

Their hands and feet suddenly got cold from hearing that. They knew this corridor was a death trap. Anyone that entered will die, even One, he was sliced into little pieces.[1]

Zheng finally knew why Jie looked at him like that back there. Yes, he couldn't help but try to change the plot. Yet it's difficult to sway the plot from its momentum. Even when it did change, God would increase its difficulty just like this.

Mou put his hands on his head and screamed, "No, I don't want to, I don't want to enter it!" As he screamed, he started running back from the way they came. Before Zheng's group could react, the mercenaries took out their guns and shot him. By the time his body dropped to the ground, it became a corpse.

"Wahh!" Zheng and Xiaoyi started vomiting. A life was taken away in front of them. Zheng was feeling terrible inside, because he couldn't mind his own business and caused Mou's death.

One looked at him coldly, "I was suspicious of you from the beginning. Even though your identities were registered in the corporation, you don't seem like a security operative. And now you're trying to stop us from rebooting the Red Queen? Okay, Zheng, come with us."

Zheng felt frozen. His stomach was still feeling uncomfortable from the vomiting. One didn't give him a break, grabbed his hands and entered the corridor with the others.

Once everyone was inside, just like what happened in the movies, the doors to both sides of the corridor closed up. One and the mercenaries were holding on their guns cautiously, then talked to his speakerphone, "Kaplan?"

Kaplan panicked, "Some kind of dormant defense mechanism. Opening the door tripped it."

"Put it back to sleep."

Kaplan was sweating, "Working on it."

"Hold your positions. Everyone stay calm."

Zheng was terrified, he knew the plot had started moving and he became part of the plot. As anticipated, the glass walls dimmed, then a thin laser appeared between the walls. This laser started moving toward the mercenaries and Zheng.

One was the first to react. He brought down the two people beside him. Zheng was focused from the beginning. He threw himself on the ground when the laser appeared. The laser barely touched his shoulder. He could feel that sharpness and heat passing through his shoulder. Other than this, his mind was totally blank.

"Medic! Medic!", One shouted.

This brought Zheng's mind back to consciousness. He turned around and saw the medic's head slowly falling down. Then it stood on the ground. It's eyes staring at him like a curse.

"No, no! I don't want to die!" Zheng screamed like a madman. As he screamed, his mind felt calmer than ever. He started recalling this scene in the movie.

One was holding onto a mercenary who lost his fingers. Then someone shouted, "It's coming back!"

This time the laser will start from ankle height. Zheng recalled the details of this scene. He remembered it will move past the first mercenary and curved up when the second mercenary jumped, cutting him in half. He only had one chance, if he failed, the laser will kill him. He didn't know if this part was changed due to his interference, but he could only trust on what he knew.

As that laser quickly moved towards them, the mercenary on the ground was killed. The remaining two started backing up. Zheng put his full concentration on the mercenary in the front. One second, two seconds, it's as though time had slowed down in this life and death situation. He couldn't hear anything, and his surrounding felt slowed down.

"Mental capacity limit broken! Rewarded 500 points, mental capacity increased by 20 points, reaction speed increased by 30 points!"

A rigid and dignified voice sounded by Zheng ears. But he couldn't hear it. His whole attention was on that mercenary. At last, the moment he jumped, Zheng threw himself on the ground. The laser moved past him, that white light was like Death's scythe. At that moment, Zheng believed Jie's words. Their whole body was transported to this game, this work of the gods, or maybe devils. They… could die here!

The laser curved up as expected and cut the mercenary in half. After the laser passed, Zheng quickly got up. He looked behind and saw through the window on the door, that Lan was standing outside with tears in her eyes.

Zheng gave her a smile then he grabbed One and ran near the door. He could only hope that the plot didn't change from this point on. This laser would stop when it almost reached the door. It was no use trying to dodge it as it will turn into the shape of a net. All he could do was stay near the door and pray. Please follow the plot and end everything!

One was struggling to get out of Zheng's grip. "Let go of me! This place will get us cut in half! Let me go!"

Zheng grabbed his collar and said, "Trust me! There's no way to dodge it this time. Stay close to the door and we can still try our luck! Trust me!"

The third laser had formed and started moving towards them. It's path was going to cut them in half. One was struggling to get down but Zheng wouldn't let go of him. He had his whole body clung to the door then closed his eyes.

"Live, I want to live, even if I am in a situation like this, I still want to live!"

Perhaps his praying reached the gods, the laser quickly opened up into the shape of a net as it approached them. One let out a scream. As he was in despair, the laser dimmed down and disappeared a few centimeters in front of him. He could feel a heat wave touched his face. For a moment, he couldn't believe he was still alive.

Zheng opened his eyes. He didn't see the laser disappear but he knew he succeeded. Knowing the details of the plot allowed him to stay alive from the edge of death. He was never this close to death in his twenty-some years of life. Death was so close it grazed his shoulders.

"What's this?"

As Zheng was thinking about his luck, he found a little ball of light on One's collar. He picked up the ball of light then it disappeared in his hand. A sense of warmth went from his hand to his body, an extraordinary comfortable sensation.

"Rank B side quest reward. Rewarded 5000 points."

The same rigid and dignified voice appeared. Zheng then remembered he heard something before. It was 500 points and increased mental capacity by twenty points and reaction speed by thirty points. That was like a thousand points already if you were to enhance yourself; the same amount you would get for surviving a movie.

These 5000 points were like a gift from heaven. Zheng was pleasantly surprised. When the door opened and several people rushed towards him, he was still standing there in a daze.

Xiaoyi tapped his shoulder, "You're amazing! You survived that!"

Zheng's thoughts came back to reality. He shook his head with a bitter smile. He didn't even know what to say. It was too much stimulation for a normal person from a peaceful world.

Lan came over also, "You deserved it. I was reminding you not to interfere all along but you didn't listen. Jie was right. Our biggest defense here is not luck but knowing the plot. Your luck won't always be there for you. Stop being so impulsive from now on. No one wants to die here."

Zheng shook his head and didn't reply. He didn't know if he should tell them about the rewards. Rank B side quest reward? What did that mean? Did that mean you changed the plot or saved a cast member that was supposed to die? Or survived a dangerous scene?

He didn't know. That was so dangerous just now, he almost died in there. And the middle age man died because of him. So he was too afraid to change anything from now on. Jie probably wouldn't let him do anything again. Because no one knows what's going to happen now. Maybe everyone will die here, including the players, the cast, and even the main characters.

That's what a horror movie is. No one is absolutely safe. Everyone can die. They are merely struggling to survive.

Vol 1: Chapter 3-1.

After a few minutes, everyone recovered from the bloody event. One thankfully patted Zheng's shoulder. This mercenary leader that was supposed to die in the corridor now lived. This would interfere with the original plot considerably. Of course he may die to zombies or Hunters later, no one could predict it.

One looked at everyone, then said, "We will continue!"

"Continue?" Spence shouted, "Continue what? You kidding me? There's no way I'm going down there."

One turned to Kaplan. His face was full of sweat, "Yes, yes. I turned off all her defenses. All…"

One repeated, "All? You positive?"

Without waiting for Kaplan to respond, One picked up the device and walked through the corridor.

Kaplan was still typing. This time the door didn't close. Alice followed like in the original plot. After they went through, the door to the Red Queen closed again. Zheng's group looked at each other. They knew they were going to face the theme of Resident Evil: zombies.

Lan said to Zheng and Xiaoyi in a low voice, "Don't get too far away from Jie. Don't get bit by zombies. In the movie, once you get infected you will become a zombie in thirty minutes. I did a rough calculation, the vaccine only works within ten minutes of getting bit. Remember to stay close to Jie. Since he lived through three movies, he will probably survive this one."

They nodded. Then Lan suddenly smiled, "Right and do you feel disgusted from the murders?"

Xiaoyi replied first, "I felt disgusted when I'd just arrived here. And I wasn't accustomed to this place. But after vomiting before, I feel like I have loosened up. If I do it with my eyes closed, I think I can kill someone."

Zheng thought for a bit. He too felt much better after vomiting, especially since he experienced life and death. He got rid of the surreal sensation he had and slowly integrated into this movie. As long as he could survive, killing monsters, humans, he's willing to do anything.

Lan continued, "Ok, then find a chance to pick up their guns. If you see a zombie got separated from the pack, then kill it. These are reward points! Remember, head, that's their weak point."

Then the room dimmed down. They knew One had turned off the central computer. At the same time, the defense system that isolated zombies and Hunters stopped working. After what happened to Zheng, they didn't dare to change the plot this time and just waited as the central computer was shut down. Then they will have to go face to face with death.

In the dark, Zheng could feel Xiaoyi shivering non-stop. Even Lan was shivering. He asked, "Scared?"

Xiaoyi answered, "Yea, very scared."

Though Lan said, "Too excited…"

Zheng suddenly felt Lan was terrifying. He didn't ask anymore questions and turned to the only light source. Silently waiting for what's going to happen next.

After a minute, the room lit up again. Zheng knew everything was starting!

One and Alice came back from the central computer room. One looked exhausted, he took a look at the corpses in the corridor, "We will bring the Red Queen's main circuit back to the corporation first. Kaplan, how's the Hive?"

Kaplan turned to his computer, "Good, all defenses are down. We can leave the Hive in a straight line."

One nodded, "Ok, then now…"

Before he finished, gunshots came from Dining Hall B. One looked at Kaplan then they ran out of the room. Alice and the other cast followed. Then Zheng's group followed.

When Zheng reached Dinning Hall B, he took notice of those cases containing Hunters. The lights on the cases had turned from green to red. Just thinking about how many of them were in this room sent goosebumps up his spine. This wasn't something a human could rival.

One asked, "What's wrong? I heard gunshots."

Rain lost a piece between her thumb and index finger. It was bloody and horrifying. "Sir, we found a survivor. But he's gone mad. He bit me…"

One frowned, "So you opened fire?"

Rain shouted in reply, "But Sir, he's gone mad!"

"He's gone," Jie suddenly said. He looked at the pool of blood on the ground and said, "He was here just then but he's now gone."

One walked over to the pool of blood. The blood was already half solidified. This definitely wasn't like fresh blood. He felt a bad premonition.

One stood up and shouted, "We're leaving immediately!"

Rain felt strange and asked, "Sir? Aren't our orders to wait here for backup after we get the Red Queen's main circuit?"

One shook his head, "There's no more backup. Prepare to leave!"

Lan walked over to Jie and asked, "You just reminded them, aren't you afraid of changing the plot?"

Jie laughed, "You guys are the fearless ones. You changed the plot as a newbie and survived. Look at your watch, One's name is not there anymore."

Lan and Zheng looked at the watch, it was blank on the place where One's name used to be.

Jie sneered at them, "We're free to move from now on. Remember you can do anything as long as it means surviving."

He thought for a moment and added, "If I was in your position–with the lack of stamina, reaction speed, and weapons–I would follow the group back to the Red Queen's room. At least you will be safe for a little longer."

Lan smiled, "You're actually quite a nice person. You're just not good at expressing yourself."

Jie laughed, "Nice? Don't joke around. I just didn't want you to hinder me earning points. Don't be mistaken, there are no good people in this world. As long as I can survive, I don't mind using you three as meat shields."

The tone of his words sent a chill down their spines.

At the same time, a metallic sound came from afar. Rain and JD moved over cautiously. After a few steps, a man wearing a white robe came out from the corner. A few people lumbered and stumbled behind him.

JD pointed at them, "Stop there! Otherwise I will open fire!"

These "people" obviously wouldn't stop there. They were already infected with the T-virus. Soon after, numerous people lumbered out from all sides of the room. Some were in uniforms and some in robes. Some of them had started rotting, and there were some with totally deformed legs. Zheng even saw one with only half it's head left.

"Stop! I'm going to shoot!"

Bang!

One was the first to shoot at these zombies. A zombie holding a hammer was knocked down. But he quickly got back up. After getting shot over ten times, it didn't even bleed much.

Bang!

Jie shot with his desert eagle. It blew up the zombie's head like a watermelon. "You guys go find an exit. Leave this to me!"

One hesitated for a while and shouted, "Okay, everyone remain in formation. JD, go find an exit. Rain, keep an eye on the prisoner. Everyone else, follow me."

Zheng looked back at Jie. He waited for the zombies to approach then shot at them all at once. The few zombies closest to him all got shot in the head. His accuracy and speed were way higher than a normal person.

Zheng felt he could follow Jie's movements. He read some books on MMA. There were two types of visual acuity. Distant visual acuity measured how far you could see and dynamic visual acuity defined your eyes ability to discern fine detail in moving objects.

It seemed like dynamic visual acuity was related to reaction speed. He could see Jie's movements clearly which meant the difference between their reaction speeds wasn't that big. And he was disgusted at first by the blown up zombies, but he's feeling quite natural now. This was probably related to his mental capacity.

'It seems like those rewards really enhanced my abilities!'

Zheng was overjoyed. He stayed calm and followed One. Then One turned around and gave him a gun and two magazines. "I can't take care of you guys. There's fifteen rounds of ammo in each magazine. Follow what Jie did and go for their heads."

Zheng understood it more than anyone. Even though he never used a gun before, he was shooting very fast thanks to his enhanced reaction speed. He was smart enough to only aim for zombies within ten meters. Ten meters was his effective shooting distance.

The other people didn't know about this and just saw him getting headshots without aiming. One nodded and left his back to Jie and Zheng.

Xiaoyi saw it and was full of excitement. "Zheng that was amazing! You're probably used to shooting? How many points was that?"

One turned around to him. "Points?"

Xiaoyi's face darkened. Zheng knew he'd probably heard a warning that deducted his points. Poor dude was in the negatives before he earned one point.

One looked at the three of them then turn back to the zombies. Lan patted her chest and muttered. "That was dangerous. I thought the plot's going to change again."

Lan actually had a nice body and her face is quite pretty. Zheng and Xiaoyi was staring at her when she patted her chest. She realized it and said, "Is Jie going to be alright? We can't see him anymore."

Zheng knew she was trying to digress so he answered casually, "He's probably all right. He's stronger than us and he has that desert eagle with unlimited ammo. Shit. If I survive this I will get one for myself."

Lan touched her forehead, this seemed to be a habit of hers. She had a larger forehead than the average person.

"One hundred points can enhance someone's power by a tenth. After I survive I have to ask Jie about the details on exchanges. But we don't have time to talk about this. You should just concentrate on protecting us." She smiled at Zheng.

Report chapter

Vol 1: Chapter 3-2.

Zombies kept swarming in from all sides. Even though they looked scary, the zombies actually moved rather slow. Under Zheng's full concentration, the zombies couldn't get close to them. But as the number of zombies that died under his gun increased, he was only left with one magazine.

On the other side, the mercenaries opened the door leading to a laboratory. However, a bunch of zombies suddenly swarmed out and pulled the mercenary who opened the door inside. His last scream was horrifying. As said before, you may not think much of this when watching a movie, but when the same thing happened next to you. That horror was indescribable.

One shouted, "Back to the Red Queen's room! Back there!"

Before long over ten zombies had moved in between Zheng's group and the mercenaries. As they were stumbling towards Zheng, the three could smell that stink. Xiaoyi couldn't help but yell, "Zheng, shoot them, hurry!"

As the viewers know, anyone who got bit or clawed by the zombies will get infected. The only vaccines were still in the train. They would die before getting to the train, they were still only normal people.

Zheng was getting anxious as he saw the mercenaries get farther away. More zombies were appearing through the corner yet his ammo was getting lower.

"Ten, nine, eight…"

Zheng silently counted the bullets in his gun. Then suddenly the zombies in front of him were dropping down one by one. Jie appeared behind them and shouted, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to follow them? Haven't you seen the movie? A Hunter will appear here."

Jie kept on shooting, and without taking another look at the three, he ran towards where the mercenaries went. Zheng, Lan and Xiaoyi followed.

'His speed is about 20% faster than us. He probably enhanced his muscles.'

Zheng was inspecting Jie when they ran. He found that his body couldn't catch up with his thinking speed or reaction speed. It was most prominent when he was shooting.

With the addition of Jie, the four of them finally arrived at the central computer room. Then with a loud bang, the door was shut and the zombies were blocked outside.

Everyone suddenly dropped to the floor. Aside from Jie, they were panting heavily, gasping for air. Even when their lungs were filled with air, the terror kept them breathing heavily. It took a while for the three to calm down.

"That was not bad." Jie put his gun on the waist and laughed at Zheng.

"What do you mean?"

Jie turned around to look at the mercenaries. They were looking at the corpses in that laser corridor. Then he said in a low voice. "The most dangerous time for a newbie is usually the first movie. Mentality is the most important. First you have to understand your situation. I have seen many people who thought this was some illusion or a TV program so they died the fastest. But the three of you quickly adjusted your mentalities. Especially you and Lan. You were the best out of all the newbies I've met. Not only did you adjust your mentality quickly but also overcame your fears."

"Secondly, overcoming your fears isn't enough to live. You are still only a normal person in the first movie. Even if you know the plot, it's still easy to die. So the first movie also heavily depends on luck. As long as you lived through the first movie, you can enhance yourself and exchange weapons; like my gun."

After saying all this, Jie took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Zheng. "Congratulations, newbies. How does it feel to be alive? Hahaha."

Xiaoyi came over, "Jie, give me one too."

Jie glanced at him, "Don't think I can't smell it. You do not have a hint of cigarette scent on you. If you don't want to die then follow us."

Xiaoyi lowered his head, "Jie, I am already at negative ten points. What should I do?"

Jie laughed and said, "You lost ten points instead of earning any? Your luck is better than average. Don't worry, you will get 1000 points at the end; but remember, if you are still in the negative after that 1000 points, you will be erased from the world."

Then someone knocked on the door. Alice's voice came from outside the room. "Open the door. Hurry!"

The mercenaries came over and Jie opened a crack for Alice and Matt to get in.

One asked them, "How is it outside? Can we go back the way we came?"

Alice shook her head, "They are all over the place."

Everyone fell to a silence. Kaplan broke down. "We can't escape. There's no other path in the Red Queen's room. We're done!"

Then Spence said, "Couldn't we stay here? Once the outside finds out we are missing, they will send backup. I think we're safe here. I don't want to go out and fight those undead."

But the mercenaries looked embarrassed, Spence asked curiously, "I say something wrong?"

Kaplan replied, "There probably isn't anymore backup."

Spence was irritated and grabbed his collar. "What do you mean no backup?"

One sighed, "Our orders were to bring back the Red Queen's main circuit and isolate the Hive from the outside. Remember the path that goes from the building to the Hive? If we're not back there by three hours the gate will shut, thus isolating the Hive. F*ck the corporation, I understand why we received such orders."

Zheng's group looked at each other. They also knew what the timer meant on their watches. They had to survive until that gate shuts. And before that they couldn't get injured by the zombies, couldn't fight too many zombies at once, and–with just a desert eagle–couldn't fight a Hunter.

Spence let go of Kaplan but he was panicking, "No! They can't do this. Are they trying to kill us all down here?"

Rain said, "This is the safest way to keep the secret of their research. If we all die down here then no one will leak anything out." Her hand was bloody where it was bit.

People were silent, then Spence got more irritated. "Why are you telling me this now? Why didn't you say this before everything happened?"

Then Alice intervened, "Stop arguing. Let's find a way out. We will first find a way out of this room." She picked up the Red Queen's main circuit and went into the Red Queen's room.

"What're you doing." One asked.

"Turning her back on."

As the mercenaries went away, Zheng asked Jie, "Aren't we going to take a look?"

"What is there to look at? Not like you haven't seen the movie. You're better off saving your stamina here and killing a few more zombies later."

Lan touched her forehead, "Oh right, Jie, I have a question. How are we going to go back to God's place? Does it shine a light on you? We slowly fade away? Or a path appear in front of us?"

Jie said, "I don't know how we get back. Every time after the mission was over, I'm in the lobby of God's place the next moment. You don't have to worry about not being able to go back when the time comes. As long as you are alive–even if you got infected by the T-virus or something–as long as you still have your consciousness everything will go away. Similarly, if you lose an arm or a leg you can repair it with just some points."

Lan frowned then asked, "You mentioned mission?"

"Of course, I said we're merely struggling to survive. Like when we just got here and couldn't leave One. That was a special mission. So that's how it is, sometimes we have to complete some special missions, that's God's way of increasing difficulty."

Lan sighed, "That's unfortunate. I originally wanted to… nevermind."

"What did you want to do?"

Zheng interrupted, "You mean let us stay here?"

Lan smiled at Zheng, "Right. That's what I wanted to do. Like Jie said we will leave here instantly when the time comes, so we can be at any place unlike the cast. Then why not stay here? I remember in the plot they will go into an underground tunnel and almost get killed by a Hunter. Even after they get into the train they are still not safe, then what about this place?"

Zheng and Jie were surprised at Lan. "You're afraid God will give us some mission later? Like make us follow another cast? And if we aren't near them we will die?"

"Right, this is the safest place if we don't consider that possibility."

Jie took a smoke and thought for a bit. "Okay, we will stay here. God won't give us impossible missions. Like when the mercenaries go away and we have to be within 300 feet of them. Since it's decided, we will stay here."

The three were surprised. Zheng said to Jie, "You don't have to stay here like us. We are still normal people but you have a gun and enhanced yourself. Why not go kill zombies for rewards? And if you happen to kill a Hunter that's a hundred points! We're only staying here because we have to."

Jie forced a smile, "To be honest, who the heck wants to be in this place. Anyone will break down from going from one movie to another. This is my fourth one and sometimes I've thought about just killing myself."

"And I want you guys to live. Sometimes you can't survive by yourself. If there are some experienced survivors other than myself, then our chances of surviving will be higher. Okay then, we will stay here. Think of what to say to the cast."

The four of them started discussing until the cast came out. Then they went over to the cast with a smile. Zheng understood, not only did he want to live, everyone else was the same.

Vol 1: Chapter 4-1.

Jie took a smoke then said to One, "The four of us will stay here."

One was planning to explain to them their next actions, but Jie's words took him aback. He paused for a moment then said, "What do you mean? We don't have time to joke around."

Jie threw away the cigarette butt and said in a serious tone, "Not joking. I meant the four of us will stay here. I think you've realized that the three of them are just normal people. They won't be able to keep up with the running you're going to do. Instead of taking the risk of falling behind, it's safer for them to stay here."

One looked at Zheng and the other two, he fell silent for a moment. "And you? Why're you staying here also?"

Jie shrugged his shoulders. "I apologize, but I have gained some of my memory back. These three are my friends so I can't leave them alone. I have to stay here to protect them."

The rest of the mercenaries came over. They were looking at Zheng's group with curiosity. One looked at Zheng again, "No, he saved my life and I can't just stand here and watch my comrades die. Remember, we are comrades now. Understand? My order is to leave this place immediately."

Lan stood up, "Captain and everyone. You know we don't have the stamina to keep up with your steps. Instead of becoming a zombie, don't you think we have a better chance of surviving by staying here and waiting for possible backup? If you really want us to die, then I have nothing else to say."

One fell silent again. After a while, he said with a dejected tone, "I understand… Kaplan, turn on the defense system of that laser corridor. You guys stay in the Red Queen's room, that's the safest place. Wait there peacefully. If we survive, we will report this situation to the corporation… Don't die."

Jie led Zheng and the others to the Red Queen's room. Then Kaplan turned on the defense system of the corridor. The lights of the corridor lit up again. The two groups could see each other through the window on the door. They felt a sense of sympathy from each other.

After the mercenaries left, Lan laughed. "Did you see it? They were looking at us with sympathy. I wonder how they will feel when they encounter the Hunters."

With three sturdy metallic doors and the defensive system of the corridor, this was a very safe place. At least compared to what the cast had to face. The four of them could finally relax. Jie also handed some cigarettes to Zheng.

"You can also exchange cigarettes from God?" Zheng took a smoke. This cigarette was much higher quality than those he used to smoke. So he asked in curiosity.

Jie squinted his eyes. "There are too many good things you can exchange from God. I haven't even finished reading through the list. It has four categories. 1. Scientific: such as guns, bullet proof vests, and even some weapons that only appeared in sci-fi movies–but they also cost a fortune. They're not something I can afford. 2. Magical items: like scrolls, Taoist charms, amulets, and swords."

Xiaoyi said with surprise, "Are those weapons like what they have in games? Are they very powerful?"

Jie glanced at him. "I don't know if they are powerful or not, but magical items cost double the points of scientific items. I think you would use them in supernatural movies."

Zheng asked curiously, "Supernatural movies?"

"Yes, like…", Jie thought for a moment, "The Grudge!"[1]

The three felt a shiver down their spines. As though there were ghosts hiding in the shadows.

"You know why I said Resident Evil was an easy difficulty movie? It's because you can solve and explain everything here with science. You can kill the monsters, you can run away. As long as you're not infected and you have a gun, you can survive."

A hint of fear crossed Jie's face. He said while thinking of the past, "Those movies that you can't explain with science are the most horrifying. You don't know when you will die, how you will die, or even if you are still alive. Terror is always accompanying you, as though it wants to drag you to hell…"

Zheng patted Jie's shoulder. He sat next to Jie and asked, "That's Nightmare on Elm Street, right?"

Jie nodded gloomily. "You couldn't imagine what we experienced in that movie. Almost twenty of us died, and everyone's death was miserable. We wanted to run. The experienced survivors led us to rob a car then we kept driving along the highway. No one dared to sleep, and even if you fell asleep, the others would wake you up. Just like that, we lasted for 5 days. Then a town appeared in front of us. We drove inside the town in joy then realized this was the town in the movie! And the experienced survivor that was driving this whole time had became that demon! He laughed at us…"

Jie was shivering like a pendulum. This man that had kept his cool the whole time was breaking down. Zheng tried to diverge the topic. "Then can those magical items kill that demon?"

Jie took a smoke and shook his head. "I don't know. That was my first movie, I am only alive due to luck. You know where I got that scar on my face? That demon cut it with a pair of scissors! I didn't have God cure these scars because I want to remember everything. If I meet him again, I will kill him!"

Zheng and the other two looked at each other. They felt a sense of fear. Fear of their future.

Jie continued, "You get 5000 points for killing that demon and a rank B side quest reward. That was the first time I saw a side quest reward."

Lan asked, "What's a rank B side quest reward? Is it important?"

Jie nodded. "We will continue on the third category of things you can exchange. Support items: like antidotes, drugs with healing properties, perishables like bullets, some sci-fi items like invisible cloaks, and enhancement items."

"I was overjoyed when I saw the enhancement items. Like the genetic mutation of Spider-Man. The description said it lets you obtain the bloodline of Spider-Man; increasing intelligence by 20, mental capacity by 20, cell vitality by 50, reaction speed by 100, muscle density by 100, and immunization by 150 points. And you also get the web shooter ability. All this for just 2000 points."

Zheng and the other two was surprised. Lan counted then said, "The enhancements alone would cost 3000 points, and you get a web shooter ability. This is too cost effective, why didn't you exchange it?"

Jie waved his hand with a bitter smile. "I did want to. If I had this genetic mutation then I won't be in danger in movies like Resident Evil. But this type of enhancement costs side quest rewards. Rank A reward can be reduced to three rank B rewards. Rank B can be reduced to three rank C and so forth. The lowest rank is D. I have only seen the reward appear once. It isn't something you can easily get."

Zheng held in the urge to tell them he had a rank B reward. He asked, "What rank reward does the Spider-Man mutation needs?"

Jie took out another cigarette. "It needs a rank C reward. I have also looked at a few rank D enhancements. Like battle Qi, rank D gives you entry level Qi, but the high level Qi would require rank B or even A rewards."

"There's also T-virus mutation, like the one Alice has. It increases intelligence by 20, mental capacity by 20, cell vitality by 50, reaction speed by 50, muscle density by 50, immunization by 100, and the evolution ability of T-virus. It needs 1500 points and a rank C reward. It's so lucky to be the main character of this movie. She gets it without doing anything."

Zheng felt he was blessed. This meant once he lived through this movie, he could exchange for quite a few enhancements. He had some more hope in his future.

Jie then said in a mysterious voice, "There are also some high level enhancements. But they are there just to entice you. I won't believe they actually exist. Like the bloodline of God. It needs a rank S reward and 50000 points. Isn't that exaggerating? There's also Xiuzhen (Taoist method of gaining immortality). It has less basic stats, but you gain special skills. It needs a rank S reward and 70000 points."

Zheng and Lan laughed at his words, but Xiaoyi's eyes flared up.

Vol 1: Chapter 4-2.

Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "And the fourth category? The first three seem to have included everything already."

Jie said with a mysterious smile, "The fourth category has the good stuff. You know everyone will break down when they've been here long enough. So the last category is entertainment items."

"There's tobacco, weed, heroin, these are cheap. One reward point can be separated into 1000 parts. A kilo of heroin only takes 5 parts of a point. How's that? God analyzed that a normal person only needs about 300 points in cell vitality and 350 points in immunization to inject heroin without constraints."

"Other than these, you also exchange for time to live in a normal world through this category. There are also music albums, movies, and even women!"

Jie was laughing hysterically at this point. Zheng said, "I am not interested in silicon."

Jie patted Zheng's shoulder. "What are you talking about, it's real women. God can create real women! They have intelligence, they have their personality, and even memories. When you buy a woman you can choose their face, body, age, race, every detail. You played that Artificial Girl game (by Illusion)?[1] This is much more detailed."

Xiaoyi's eyes were shining, while Lan snorted.

Jie stopped laughing and said in a serious tone, "No one knows if they can live through the next movie. So I want to have a woman that I like by my side. You will know once you tried it, she's not a doll. Even though she's a life created by God, she's more realistic than a lot of women in the real world. And she really loves you. You can share the terrors you experience with her. God said once you get enough points to go back, you can keep your enhancements, all the items you exchanged, and this woman can go with you. If I can go back I will marry her. She's the one that I will love with the rest of my life."

These words were said with sincerity and passion. In the modern age, people only cared about money and sex. Zheng and the others admired someone that can truly love someone.

Lan touched her head. "Stop this topic. Gentlemen, there's a lady here. Jie, tell us about God's lobby. What will happen after a mission?"

"Nothing special. You will go to God's lobby after the mission. God is a sphere of light floating in the center. You can communicate with it just by thinking. There are twenty rooms to the side, though they were never all filled. You will have your own room. Only people you give permission to can enter your room. Other than this, you will have ten days in the lobby between every mission."

Lan was going to ask something else when Jie suddenly stood up. He ran to the door and looked out through the window. The rest of them was shocked and followed behind him. But they couldn't see anything in the corridor.

Jie turned around and shouted, "Red Queen, report what happened outside the room."

A little girl's voice sounded, "Two Hunters are attacking the outer door. It will last forty seconds."

"F*ck. I knew things won't be so easy. Those Hunters must've sensed our smell. The outer door couldn't block them. Good thing we hid here already." Then Jie looked at his watch.

Zheng and the others looked at their watches also. The countdown still had seventeen minutes remaining, there were three doors and a corridor between the hunters. They couldn't fight the Hunters face to face with the weapons they had.

Zheng didn't want to die here, especially when there's hope. He shouted, "Red Queen, how long can we last?"

That voice didn't respond. Then Zheng pointed his gun at the computer, "I know you're programmed to prevent the spread of T-virus. In other words you want to kill anything that has a possibility of spreading it. That includes us, right? Make your decision, either you protect us with the defense system or you let the Hunters come in here. But we will destroy your main circuit before they do. Once you lose control of the Hive, how much of the virus will get to the outside world?"

The girl's voice finally came back, "Can I ask why are you still struggling? You've decided to stay here, aren't you going to sacrifice yourself?"

Lan answered before Zheng could say a word, "Computers are not supposed to question humans. You have to be aware of being just a computer. Understand? Also since we are already here, we won't be able to spread the virus even if we live. Then why won't you protect us, Little Girl?"

"Understand. The Hunters won't be able to penetrate the defense system."

At this time, there were loud bangings on the door at the other side of the corridor. You could see the Hunters through the window and the metal door was losing its form.

"Impressive power, no wonder it's worth 100 points. If I had a RPG with unlimited grenades I could be earning points now," Jie laughed.

Zheng asked without thinking, "How much does it cost?"

"Of course it's going to be expensive. A normal RPG costs 2000 points. I would rather enhance myself if I have that many. And it isn't effective in every movie."

The door had totally deformed, then the Hunters' claws ripped it apart and appeared in front of their eyes.

They were several meters tall, a whole body of red muscles. They had no eyes, probably sensing targets through heat and smell. Their tongues could extend out three feet. Their claws were harder than steel.

Zheng looked at the two Hunters then at his gun. He didn't think this gun could even injure it, not to mention kill it

.

The Hunters turned to them and one started to charge, the second followed. Bang! They could feel the door tremble.

"Red Queen!", Zheng and Jie yelled.

At the same time a laser formed inside the corridor and moved toward the hunters. When the Hunters were about to charge again, the laser moved past them, then disappeared. The Hunters stopped moving, then their upper body slowly fell off.

The four exhaled. They felt so small in front of the Hunters. It would only take one claw to take a life. Even Jie was just a stronger normal person. He wouldn't be able to survive against these monsters.

Jie sat on the ground and took out a few cigarettes. He also threw one over to Xiaoyi this time. "Know that fear and terror? I've experienced it many times already. I don't even know how I got myself through those three movies. Shit. This place is unbearable."

Zheng and Lan smiled bitterly. The moment the Hunters charged over, they reacted worse than Jie. They could barely keep themselves standing with the shivering. Thank god the defense system saved them. Otherwise they couldn't even run away.

"Keep waiting. This defense system is good enough. We could probably…"

Suddenly the whole room darkened. They ran to the door and looked out. The corridor was totally black. The power had went out.

"Shit. The plot. How did I forget about this? You still remember this plot?" Jie kicked at the door and started screaming.

Zheng tried to recall the plot. This movie was over ten years old already. Even though he'd seen it he had forgotten the details. After a while, he and Lan both said, "Kaplan shut down the Red Queen!"

When the main characters were locked in a laboratory and a Hunter was attacking the door, Kaplan turned off the Red Queen to save them. So then the four of them lost their defense. The only thing they had left was the last door.

They gradually calmed down. They knew that any sound could catch the attention of Hunters. So they kept their mouths shut. Even then their breath sounds were still so noticeable in this darkness.

Time passed, then a heavy breathing sound came from the darkness, along with the abrasive sound between two metals. They didn't have to look to know what's outside.

Zheng remembered it only takes a few minutes for the main characters to go back to the ground after the power went out. That's about the same time their mission ends.

Zheng asked Lan in a low voice, "What's the time on the watch?"

"I don't know. Couldn't see in the dark. Maybe a few minutes."

'Few minutes? That's how many minutes?'

Zheng couldn't open his mouth again. The breathing had approached their last door. Everyone's heart clenched. Then they heard the sound of scratching on the door.

'How much longer? How much time left? Hurry!'

Zheng was staring at the door intensely. He held onto his gun, even though he knew this couldn't do anything against the Hunter. That was the only form of support he had.

Bang! With a loud bang, a sharp object almost penetrated the door. Their heart skipped a beat then they ran to the back of the room. Even Jie was keeping his body close to the wall.

The door started to deform then finally a claw penetrated it and ripped this 10cm thick metallic door apart like butter. They could see that terrifying face of a hunter.

"Ahhh!", Zheng and Jie started screaming and shot at the Hunter. They had lost their cool to the horror and along with the darkness, none of their bullets hit the Hunter. The Hunter threw away the piece of door on his hand and charged at the four.

Vol 1: Chapter 5-1.

'Am I dead?'

Zheng stood there with his eyes out of focus. He remembered in the previous moment that monster out of a nightmare jumped at him. Those huge claws were right in front of his eyes. It would only take an instant, just an instant to rip him to pieces.

'Then… am I dead?'

Zheng stood there looking at his surrounding in a daze. He was standing in an open platform with a huge sphere of light in the center. It lit up the whole platform light the sun. Beyond the edge of the platform was darkness. A kind of darkness where not a hint of light could be seen. Just looking at it for a few seconds made his head dizzy.

"We lived, shit, that was close! We finally lived."

Jie's voice brought Zheng's mind back. There's him, Jie, Lan, Xiaoyi and a fifth person here. A girl that came out from one of the rooms on the edge. She was crying as she ran toward Jie. This man showed a kind of tenderness not belonging to his character. He ran to the girl, embrace her and started kissing.

"If you have any questions, just ask God. Communicate to him with your mind."

"Other than creating your own person, don't exchange anything. Wait until tomorrow. Oh right, choose a room, just imagine how you want the room to look like."

He carried that girl and ran to his room before anyone could say anything. Zheng and the others stood there looking at each other, then they fell on the floor.

"Well he's strong. He can still run and have energy for some sexy time," Lan said as she was lying on the ground. "I was so scared, I still can't move my hands and legs. And he's acting like nothing happened."

No one responded her, she turned around to see the two men had their eyes closed under the sphere of light, with a tent on their crotch. Probably designing their women.

"Two freaking idiots. Men are idiots! We lived through that and experienced so much terror, yet the first thing they think about is ecchi stuff."

Lan ran toward a room in anger and closed the door with a bang. It woke the two men from their thoughts. They laughed with embarrassment then closed their eyes and continued.

This is a wonderful feeling, as Zheng closed his eyes under the sphere of light, he felt as though he merged into the light. A screen appeared in front of him, it's similar to a computer program. There were four categories of items, and the six stats of enhancements, it also showed him the amount of points and rewards he had.

Zheng's stats were: intelligence 107, mental capacity 122, cell vitality 97, reaction speed 131, muscle density 112, immunization 103. It seemed like only his muscle density was a little above average from going to the gym, the extra points from mental capacity and reaction speed were rewards in the movie.

He had 6502 points, 1000 from the basic mission, 5000 from the hidden quest, 2 points from killing twenty zombies, and 500 from something else.

"Create a woman. Create a woman…"

Zheng was not planning to use his points yet. He recognize the importance of it after experiencing life and death. Even though he had quite a lot of points, he wanted to consult with Jie first. There's only one thing on his mind.

'Lori, can I create her?'

God seemed to recognize Zheng's thoughts. It opened up the entertainment category, then the rigid voice said. "The first humanoid creation is free. Following creations cost 500 points each. Please simulate the type of being, gender, face, height, age, skin color, race… in your mind."

Zheng sunk into his memories. That year when he was still a teen, when he had secret feelings for her. Her smell, her smile, her voice, her memories were still so vivid.

'So it turned out that my boring life was because of the loss of her. That I was falling into darkness because her hands were no longer holding me.'

"As long as you are by my side, I will never fall to darkness…"

Tears fell out of his eyes, then disappeared when they reached the ground.

When he opened his eyes again, a girl of 15 was standing in front of him. This girl was the same as the one in his memories, Lori.

.

They grew up together. Even though they had grown accustomed to each other to the point where they weren't even aware of the presence of the other person; they were aware of the importance of the other person. Kids that grew up in the urban city were mostly lonely. The doors across the apartments were usually shut. Sometimes you don't even know who your neighbors are even after living there for a few years.

Zheng always thought he was fortunate. His parents were bold and forthright. They would invite the neighbors over for food and coincidentally, their neighbors were the same type of people. This type of people were rare in the cities. And the luckiest thing was he met that girl one year younger than him.

She was like gifted by the gods. Perfect as a pure crystal. She was smart, kind hearted, tough, liked to laugh out loud, wasn't scared of any difficulties.

He thought as long as she was there, his heart would never feel cold.

But why was human life so fragile? She was only fifteen when she was lying on that white bed. Long periods of chemo took away her long hair. That pale face was no longer lively. All that remained was her smile. But he knew that smile was just there to comfort those close to her.

What is life? Why did that beautiful smile suddenly turn to ashes? That's not what he wanted, he wanted to see that gentle smile, he wanted to see her rolling on top of him, and talking by his ear…

Paddling through a sea of people in a black and white world. He kept falling, rotting, one woman after another, bars, ecstasy, ice, and maybe sooner or later, heroin.

"As long as you are here. I will not fall…"

When Zheng woke up, it was already past eleven o'clock. He reached for the cigarette on the nightstand when he touched something soft.

"Stop. Let me sleep a little more…"

The computer screen, Resident Evil, death, and Lori. Memories were coming back to him. He suddenly flipped over the blanket and there she was. A girl of fifteen, with traces of tears on her face, and blood on the sheets.

Zheng could only remember when he was creating a human, he recalled everything about her. And when he saw her face he could no longer contain the years of suppressed feelings.

He's now staring at that familiar face. There were so many things he wanted to say. And before he knew it, he was full of tears.

The girl was feeling cold, she reached for the blanket again but couldn't catch anything. She opened her eyes and saw Zheng staring at her. She felt embarrassed and snatched the blanket from Zheng's hand. Then she started crying.

"Stupid Zheng, you made me so painful last night and now you're teasing me. And I made you breakfast this whole month. You said you would give me a ring when I am eighteen and marry me after twenty two. You idiot, I am not even sixteen yet."

Zheng shivered as he heard those words. He held onto her hands and asked, "You… Lori, you have memories? You remembered everything?"

She stopped crying and asked him curiously, "What do you mean if I still have my memories? And, Mr. Pervert, please put on your clothes, then go over to my house and get me that green dress. You ripped my clothes last night. Thank god my parents are at work."

Zheng was shocked. This girl's attitude, tone, and actions were exactly the same as how he remembered her. Then he realized this room was the same one he lived when he was a teen. Even the details were the same.

"Oh my god, your parents probably heard our voices last night. They will probably think I am that kind of girl. You idiot, pervert… I don't know how to face your mother anymore."

"Wait, maybe I've been dreaming this whole time? Everything that happened yesterday? Even when you were sick? Haha. That was all a dream!"

Zheng held onto her and laughed loudly. Then after a while he started weeping. Lori also stopped struggling and held on him tight.

'Thank god that was all a dream. I don't want a future like that…'

Then there was a knock on the door. Lori slid into the blankets. "Your parents are back, pervert, how am I going to go out? I don't have clothes."

Zheng suddenly felt cold. He could recognize someone calling his name, that voice was Jie. In other words, he's not dreaming, the Lori in his arms was just a being he created.

He forced a smile. "Lori, I will take a look outside and bring you some clothes. Stay here and don't move."

Zheng sighed, put on his clothes, and went to the platform.

He opened the door and saw Jie and the others. He looked past them and the sphere of light was still in the center.

"Give me a few moments."

He ran towards God. "Tell me, God. Isn't she a being you created? Why does she have memories? Why is she exactly the same as her? Does she know about this place? What is happening?"

Zheng asked the questions troubling him with his eyes closed. After a while, that voice finally replied, "She's created by you. Her memories came from your memories of her. Her personality, face and body come from how you remembered her. She's the person of your memory."

Zheng was silent for a moment, then continued, "I don't understand what you mean, God. I don't care if she's the one that I remember, I just want to know if she's real. The things she says, her actions, her expressions, her tears… are all these real? Not some program you created, not someone dependent on orders. I want to know if she's a real human!"

"Yes. Once a life form is created, unless it's owner dies or it gets killed, it is a real living being."

Zheng grasped what this was all about. God created a copy of the Lori in his memory. She was Lori, but just a copy. The real person died when she was sixteen. That's why the copy was only fifteen years old, the age that he remembered of her when she was most beautiful.

"One last question. When I get enough points to go back, will she come with me?"

"The person who exchanges 'Back to the origin' can retain the following items: 1. all items from exchange. 2. stat enhancements. 3. created life forms. 4. summoned life forms. 5. genetic changes. The above exchanges will belong to the owner even if he goes back to the origin."

Zheng slowly calmed down. He already lost her once. He couldn't do anything but see her die. But this time he had the ability to change everything. As long as he can survive–survive the countless horror movies and earn enough points–he could bring her back to the real world. Then he wouldn't lose her ever again!

Jie and the other two were looking at him curiously. He apologized then brought them to his room. According to Jie, he just had to think in his mind to give them permission to enter his room.

Once inside the living room, Zheng thought for a moment. "Wait here for a bit, I will be right back." Then he went into his bedroom. And closed the door.

Lori stuck out her head from the blankets. "How did it go? Did your parents say anything?"

Zheng went over to the bed and caressed her hair, then said in a serious tone, "Lori, I have something to tell you. But you have to promise me and stay calm. Okay?"

She opened her eyes wide and tears started filling up, then she lowered her head. "Is it about breaking up? Just like what they said, once a guy got the girl's body, he will change his heart. I thought you were going to be with me. If you are going to break up, then you don't have to say anything. I don't want to hear those words from your mouth."

Zheng pulled her over and held onto her. He yelled, "It's not what you think. I loved you all this time, even when you were dead for ten years, I still loved you."

Then he told her everything from her death ten years ago to the peculiar events that just happened. Though he omitted how he lived his life during those ten years.

"Lori, you are the real Lori. Yes, I could only watch as death took you away. But I can protect you now. Trust me, I will earn enough points to get us back!"

Zheng kept talking but Lori remained silent. He had a bad premonition about this. He looked at her but she just kept pinching her arm.

Zheng got a hold of her hand. "What are you doing? Lori, say something. I know it's hard to accept that the real you died and you're a copy. I know it. But no matter what, don't hurt yourself. If you're feeling upset just tell me. Okay?"

Lori started laughing and stood up. She put her hands on Zheng's face and pulled it. "No wonder. I was wondering why did you look so mature all of a sudden. And so hairy. So that's it. It's good to be alive again. Why should I feel upset? And you, idiot, scared me; I thought you were going to break up with me. If you ever say something so ambiguous again, I will rip apart your mouth."

Zheng was shocked, then felt relieved. Right, this was the tough girl in his memory, the one he loved.

According to Jie, everything in this room could be changed with his mind. As Zheng's created life being, Lori could change this room also. When she learned of this, she ran to the closet and started taking out gorgeous dresses, then she pushed Zheng out of the bedroom.

In the living room. Jie and the other two were staring at him with expressionless faces, but he noticed the corner of their lips twitching. "Go ahead and laugh as you like. You look like someone just punched you in the face."

Everyone started laughing out loud. Jie said, "It's strange you would like girls like this. She seems quite bold."

Zheng sat on the sofa and told them her past. "I didn't expect this situation. I originally just wanted to create a person that looks like and acts like her, god forbid, I created a copy of her."

Jie was surprised. "That's incredible. God can actually give her your memories. I have been through four movies and didn't know about this. Who knows how many secrets are hidden in this place."

Zheng nodded. "Right, no one ever mentioned this place in the real world. Get transported into movies, interacting with the casts, and even changing the original plots. Furthermore, exchangeable items are unbelievable. I can understand things like guns, but enhancements? Do you think this will happen in a real world?"

They were silent. Zheng exhaled and continued, "I don't care if this is God's territory, or a devil's game. I just want to live. Earn enough points and bring her back. None of you probably want to die in the movies, right? I think the four of us should form a group. Because no one knows what movie is next, there's a limit to how much a person can do. We can form a team and help each other out. Any opinions?"

Lan was surprised. "Yo, you seem to have changed quite a bit overnight. More so than Xiaoyi who just lost virginity. Is that girl important to you?"

Xiaoyi's face redden. Jie laughed at it. "What is there to be embarrassed about? You just became a real man. You're actually not bad for creating a blonde. Just be careful not to get dried out."

Then he turned to Zheng. "I think you're right. We can't confront any movies alone before we get enough enhancements. I've experienced three movies so I know how important teamwork is. Sometimes those next to you are just as dangerous as the monsters. Then we will share our information and help each other out. If any newbies want to break apart our team, I advise that we kill them."

Lan was shocked. "Didn't you say killing a newbie will cost 1000 points?"

Jie smiled hideously, "Yes it will cost 1000 points. But am I going to kill him myself? No, I can just break his arms and legs, or push him into the monsters. As long as I didn't finish him with my own hands then it will not count. You have any other questions?"

Lan and Xiaoyi shivered, but Zheng nodded. "Right, we won't hurt any newbies intentionally. But if they put us at risk, then I don't mind doing it. I need to survive until I go back to the real world. Now I have something to tell you."

Zheng said with a serious expression, "I think I know how to obtain side quest rewards. It probably has to do with changing the plot. Like saving a cast member that was supposed to die, or killing strong monsters, or completely reversing the plot. I think you can get rewards by completing these things."

Then he told them about his experience saving One. And that he received a rank B reward and 5000 points. The three of them were shocked and didn't know how to continue.

Lan asked cautiously, "How many points do you have?"

"6502 and a rank B reward."

They looked at Zheng with envy and jealousy. Jie forced a smile. "I risked my life and almost died a few times to get just four thousand points but you got over six thousand in your first movie, and even a rank B reward. Shit. It seems like I will have you carry me next time."

Zheng laughed. "If you didn't stay with us in the Red Queen's room, I might have just died there. I have to thank you for that."

Lan also smiled. "We know how to obtain side quest rewards, even though they are difficult but it's better than not knowing anything. Plus you also get points along with it. That's why you need 50000 points to go back, it's impossible if you just complete the basic missions. At least we have something in mind now."

Jie also stopped being jealous. He knew Zheng was a good enough friend to tell him about this. He smiled. "Okay then, I will give you a description of the exchangeable items and stats. We still have nine days to rest so we don't have to rush. For the next movie!"

"No, for staying alive," Zheng added silently. He glanced toward his room with tenderness.

"There are six stats you can enhance. From my understanding, intelligence is correlated with memory and your ability to think. Mental capacity is unknown at the moment, because there's no way to test it. Cell vitality affects your recovery rate. Reaction speed and muscle density are obvious and they're the most useful stats for us. Reaction speed allows you to see objects moving at high speed, and when you reach a certain level, you can even see the trajectory of bullets. Of course your body has to move fast enough, that's what muscle density is for. It increases your strength and toughness. Immunization strength is also an important factor, if your immunization is strong enough during Resident Evil, you wouldn't get infected."

"That's all for enhancements, we will continue with exchangeable items. I will advise you two to not exchange any items and spend all your points in cell vitality, reaction speed, muscle density, and immunization strength, with a focus on reaction speed and muscle density. Otherwise you won't even be able to keep up with the running."

Then Jie turned to Zheng. "Since you have enough rewards, you should just go for a genetic and whole body enhancement. But what you want is up to you. Then spend the remaining points on stats and some weapons. You will be the strongest one among us in the next movie so you should probably also get a magical item."

Zheng nodded. "That's what I am thinking. Out of all the horror movies I have seen, supernaturals like The Grudge are the most dangerous. Your first one, Nightmare on Elm Street, is the same. So I am planning on getting a weapon that can kill these type of monsters. Though it might be rather expensive."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go check them out then I will have Nana make you a big meal."

The four walked toward the sphere with excitement. Especially since it's the first time for three of them. They were going to surpass normal people from now on.

Zheng stood under God then closed his eyes. He experienced that feeling of being connected to God again.

"First take a look at genetic and body enhancement."

The screen focused on support items category then listed all the possible enhancements. He filtered all of them and only looked at rank B and C enhancements. Even then the number was still in double digits.

"Spider-Man genetic mutation, rating 83, applicable to movies that require high dexterity. Web shooter can be used in any circumstances. Requires a rank B reward and 2000 points."

"High level Qi, rating 87, applicable to movies that require close combat. Can buff stats substantially in short period of time. Requires rank B reward, 2500 points, and intermediate level Qi."

"High level werewolf genetic mutation, rating 88, applicable to most movies. Has the ability to transform into a werewolf, increasing stats substantially temporarily. Owner will not be affected by the instincts of werewolf bloodline. Requires rank B reward, 2700 points, and entry level werewolf mutation."

"Vampire Count (rank) genetic mutation, rating 90, applicable to most movies. Has blood energy and access to most blood magic. Rank Count increases vitality substantially, can recover from any injury as long as brain and heart are not destroyed. Owner will not be affected by sunlight and silver. Requires rank B reward, 3000 points, and Vampire Viscount mutation."

As Zheng was looking, a thought came to his mind then he flipped to the rank A enhancements list. And there they were, top level Qi, werewolf mutation, and vampire mutation. These all required their rank B counterparts.

"God, I have a question, can I choose two bloodlines or genetic mutations at the same time?"

"Yes, but it will have unpredictable result. The different genetics could absorb or proliferate each other. You have a seventy percent chance of becoming a non- human being."

That probably means monster. Zheng nodded as he made his decision. He separated the rank B reward to three rank C rewards. Then one of the rank C into three rank Ds. He exchanged for rank D low level Qi, and rank D Vampire Baron. Then their rank C counterparts. All he had left is a rank D reward.

"Low level Qi costs 500 points, Vampire Baron costs 800, intermediate Qi 1200, Vampire Viscount 1500. Shit's too damn expensive."

Zheng counted, this had already used up 4000 points. God forbid, he risked his life to complete a side quest for that.

The other three people were looking at him in shock. A beam of light shone on Zheng then lifted him to the air. Countless particles moved from the light to Zheng's body. This lasted several minutes.

Jie suddenly yelled, "Honey, come look at Jesus!"

Lan was acting better than the men. She asked Jie, "Are our enhancements going to be so dramatic?"

"No. When you enhance your stats, some particles will float from God into your body then you will feel stronger. He probably exchanged something amazing."

Another few minutes passed and Zheng fell back to the ground. He gave the others a strange feeling. He was just slightly handsome before but when they look at him now, he seemed a little strangely pretty.

Zheng quickly looked at his stats. Intelligence 187, mental capacity 232, cell vitality 321, reaction speed 287, muscle density 302, immunization 331. These stats surprised him, it was only some low level enhancements but he was almost three times stronger than a normal person.

Then he looked at his abilities. Qi and blood energy. Qi is a form of life force, it will recover naturally. As Qi increases, a person's stats increase. Blood energy is specific to vampires. It comes from a power core in the brain and allows vampires to use some blood magic.

Zheng finally opened his eyes and saw them looking at him. "What's wrong? Did my face change?"

He panicked a bit and touched his face, then looked at his body. He was afraid genetic mutations would make him a monster. But nothing seemed too strange. "Why were you looking at me like that? Scared the shit out of me."

They laughed awkwardly. "How's it? Tell us what you chose and what are your stats?

"I separated the rank B reward into rank C and D rewards. Then exchanged entry level and intermediate level Qi. And also exchanged vampire mutation." Then he told them about his stats.

Then three were envious of that. Lan touched her head and said, "Do you think those Xian (Taoist immortals), ghost, vampires, werewolves in tales and legends are real? They were people that got away from this place. Perhaps this place existed since ancient times. Of course there were no horror movies back then but there was still horror tales and stories."

Lan continued, "Because no matter if it was Xian or vampires or werewolves, their first generations were always the strongest. Perhaps the first gens were people that came from this place, but their descendants gradually became weaker because they lack the source of power. Is this possible?"

Xiaoyi asked, "Then what about this place? A place that can even give you the bloodline of God. Who could have created this place?"

Lan waved her hand. "Perhaps the real God or some devil. Who knows? This whole place is a mystery. Oh Zheng, did you get any abilities?"

"Yea, Qi and blood energy. But I still don't know how to use them yet. What about you guys, did you get your enhancements yet?"

Xiaoyi jumped six feet high. Then said with excitement, "I feel like my body's full of power. And I could see everything clearly. How are you feeling?"

That said, Zheng felt his surrounding was crystal clear. He could even see scratches on the doors far away. Then he jumped nine feet high.

"Impressive!", Lan and Xiaoyi exclaimed.

Jie laughed, "Great, hurry up and figure out your abilities. After all they required several rewards. And look at sci-fi weapons. A rank D reward could get something nice. Your abilities cost two rank Cs and Ds, they must be strong."

Zheng connected with God again and focused on sci-fi weapons. It had everything from swords to RPGs and even lightsabers and plasma guns. He even saw a combat robot. It required 20000 points and a rank A reward.

He turned to something more affordable and looked at modernized weapons. Guns were inexpensive, even an anti-air rocket launcher only cost 50 points. But the unlimited ammo counterpart cost 2000 points. It's forty times more.

Then he looked at the magical items. He played enough games and could borrow info from those games. One time use scrolls were inexpensive, only cost twice as much as a grenade. A lightning scroll cost 30 points, frostbolt 50. Most of the weapons were close combat weapons. A glowing sword cost 1000.

Zheng considered what weapon he wanted to use. As his stats increases, ranged weapons and sci-fi weapons would become less effective. Perhaps he will get to a point where he moves faster than a bullet or so tough that even a bullet couldn't penetrate him. Or strong enough to kill someone with just a finger.

Also considering the fear he had of ghosts and supernaturals, he decided to choose a magical close combat weapon.

As he was scrolling through the list, a ring caught his attention. It had the strange name Na. A ring created by Xiuzhen technology. It had a subspace of 1.5 cubic meters and can be activated with Qi and other Xiuzhen related energy. Once activated it would create an energy field around your fist. This energy field could damage supernatural beings.

Zheng thought this item was totally made for him. Close combat, energy field, and can be used with Qi. Another surprise was it had a subspace to store items. He could bring more food and medication to movies.

"Alright then that's it. Even though it's a little expensive."

1500 points and a rank D reward. He almost used up all he had.

When Zheng opened his eyes, a ring appeared in front of him. It's a bronze ring with a dragon carved on it.

Jie asked curiously, "Something from entertainment category? Is this for that girl?"

Zheng smiled then without saying anything, he put on the ring. Then he felt energy moved from his abdomen to his finger. He could sense the subspace on his mind. And this was also his first time sensing Qi.

"Try and touch it." Zheng held out his right hand with a smile. Jie moved his hand over then quickly moved away as if he received an electrical shock.

"Is this an electric shock ring?", Lan asked.

"No, this is a Xiuzhen item. Something created by the Chinese immortals, Xian. It has the name of Na and can store 1.5 cubic meters of items, and can also attack supernaturals. In other words we have something to deal with those movies. Haha."

They were looking at him with jealousy again. Zheng knew he obtained everything by luck and any person would be jealous of it. So he used the remaining 1000 points for medications, antidotes and support items. This made the three of them feel better.

Jie said, "Okay, bring your women and come eat in my house. My wife has executive chef level cooking. God is rather generous on food, you can create any food in the kitchen. Then you will start training with me."

"Training?"

"Yes, training. Your stats can increase with training. From my observation, people in special forces can almost rival Zheng in stats, they're only missing special abilities. But their combat techniques and endurance are much more refined. Zheng may not win against them in a duel. I've been training during the resting sessions every time. You will also have to learn shooting and everything. I have a training ground in my basement. We will train hard, for the next movie."

"Not for the next movie. For staying alive," Zheng told himself silently. He needed to live no matter what. And bring his woman back to the real world.

Vol 1: Chapter 6-2.

When Zheng went to get Lori he was surprised to see her in a maid uniform. She was so pretty, he thought his soul was sucked away.

Lori was humming a song as she cleaned up the room. Since this room was created from the memories ten years ago, it was rather disorganized. She was doing it so leisurely, she looked so beautiful and deliberate. Unwittingly, Zheng walked over behind her and embraced her.

"Ah!"

Lori was shocked but quickly calmed down. Because she could smell that familiar scent behind her. She remained quiet for a while then realized something was not right. "Pervert! What are you doing walking like a cat? I knew you were up to nothing good. Trying to scare me, huh?"

Zheng couldn't contain himself as he watched her talk. He kissed onto her lips. She struggled a bit then calmed down.

"Pervert, enough is enough! Look at what time it is, no, I mean even if it's nighttime. And don't kiss me without my permission, don't touch me and don't do anything ecchi. Got it?"

Zheng tried to digress, "Where did you get these clothes? They look… rather pretty." He was going to say sexy but then realized she was trying to get away from the topic.

Lori started laughing, she seemed to have forgotten her requests a while ago. She held her dress and spun around. "How's it, doesn't it look nice? Only I can design something like this."

"Yes it is… but isn't this a maid uniform from anime?"

Her face slightly blushed. "What are you talking about, you see here, I changed the decorations on the end of the skirt, and…"

She started babbling on her dress, then moved onto the decorations on the room. But Zheng was not annoyed a bit. He felt the warmth of a family, something he had not felt for a long time.

Then her faced turned all serious. "Oh right, you will have to tell me what you've done all these years. Don't think you can fool me, you were so experienced last night. So that's it, tell me everything honestly. Don't try to hide anything."

Zheng smiled awkwardly. She was rather a petty woman, especially when it came to relationships. So he tried to digress from the topic, "Haha. Definitely. Right, I am here to take you to see my friends. When I go to movies I will have to fight along with them. One of them invited us over for a meal. So are you going to change your clothes?"

"Of course, you can't go out with this. Anyway you have to tell me everything when we're back. Understand?"

After a while, she came back in casual wears. She fixed the wrinkles on his shirt then said, "Let's go, I haven't been outside once yet."

Outside, Lori was amazed at this special place. She pointed at God and asked various questions until they reached Jie's room.

Everyone's already there in the room. A blonde sat next to Xiaoyi with the body of a model. A woman with long black hair dressed in Cheongsam sat next to Jie. She was fixing Jie's shirt attentively. Then there's Lan on the side looking unhappy. She snorted at the two men as if she despised them. Then when she saw Zheng enter she snorted again.

Jie was talking as he entered, "… that life creation also includes men. Lan why don't you go create the man of your dreams?"

"I'm not so silly, unlike you guys. Getting what you can't get in the real world like this. I also never wrote the YY (Stupidly OP MC) type of novel. It disgusts me to even think about creating the perfect man. I rather go exchange a vibrator."

Xiaoyi was blushing as he heard this. Jie laughed. "Stop lying. You're obviously a virgin. I've seen enough women to tell."

Lan started to blush also but she remained her cool. "That's the difference between men and women. Men wants to have the woman of their dreams then fall in love with them, but women want to fall in love then love that men. Do you think I will be as silly as you and start a relationship with a stranger?"

As she finished a voice again from behind Zheng, "Well said. Men are detestable and perverted, they don't know the importance of true love."

Lori walked over to Lan and started a conversation with her. Jie looked at Zheng's bitter expression and laughed. "You're late. My wife's complaining the meal's gotten cold. Come, let's go eat."

Zheng exchanged some high quality wine from God. Relative to the practical items, these entertainment related items were so inexpensive. When he got back to the room, his ring was filled with various wine.

Jie's wife was sure enough an executive level chef. Everyone enjoyed the meal. Even though there were only ten dishes, all of them were expensive items they couldn't get in the real world. From bear paws to monkey brains to various seafood.

Jie lit a cigarette. "God's especially generous with entertainment, especially food. Even a billionaire in the real world probably couldn't compete with us. We drink wine over a hundred years old like water, smoke the highest quality cigarette. For real, if it wasn't for the dangers, this wouldn't be a bad place. You go to the real world when you're bored, then come back here."

Zheng and the others nodded. "That's why we have to live, survive through all the movies. Then we can choose to live however we like, whether it's go back to the real world or stay here."

Jie laughed. "Okay, I will bring you guys to the training ground. Take a break and we will start training. You have nine days then we will welcome the next movie!"

Vol 1: Chapter 7-1.

The room Jie created was huge. He led the other three down stairs and left the three girls outside. In front of them was an area as big as a soccer field. They were amazed by it. Jie said with pride, "I didn't know that you can change the room, but after figuring it out, you just have to focus and imagine on where you want to change while holding the room's handle outside. God will also amend any imperfection you have. Just like this training ground."

This training ground was separated into a few areas. There's a target practice field, a long distance running field, an obstacle running field, and a close combat platform.

"Starting today, everyday from 8am to 12pm, 1pm to 6pm, and 7pm to 12am. We will train non-stop. We won't see any results on our body with just these few days so we will start with shooting and close combat. You will also have to run and test your limits. Once you know your limits you can plan ahead in the movies. Anyway, there is a lot of training we have to do."

Jie gave everyone a description of the purposes of each training area. Long distance running and obstacle running was obvious. Close combat was necessary, shooting was an important factor in sci-fi movies. Everyone agreed to his plans.

Zheng asked, "What about guns? Do we go exchange them for training? Or are we using your desert eagle?"

"Didn't I say you can create anything in your room? It's just that you can't take many of these things out of the room. Go take a look at that storehouse. I exchanged a magazine on guns, then created them according to the descriptions. You can also test the power of sci-fi weapons. Even though they are expensive, you should probably exchange for one when you have the points."

Xiaoyi exclaimed then ran toward the target practice field. Lan sighed. "You probably can't create magical weapons in this room, right?"

Jie nodded. "No. I kept trying but couldn't create them. God probably put a restraint on this."

Lan touched her forehead. "The most difficult movies are probably the supernatural ones. God wouldn't let us get familiar with this type of weapon to increase their difficulty. Anyway, if I have the points I will probably only get one sci-fi weapon and spend the rest on magical weapons. That's what I am planning."

Zheng and Jie nodded. Especially Zheng, that 1500 points didn't go to waste.

Jie spent the rest of the afternoon teaching them how to use guns. Of course, other than testing out sci-fi guns for fun, they put their focus on normal guns, especially on their shooting accuracy. Lan and Xiaoyi spent the whole time doing target practice.

Jie led Zheng to the combat platform. Jie only spent 100 points on his gun and the rest enhancing himself. He probably was also in the army back in the real world. He's much more experienced than Zheng in close combat. It only took a while for him to knock down Zheng.

Jie shook his head. "Not enough. Your speed and strength are there but you can't keep calm. You have much more strength than before so you can't control the punches you throw. Learn how to control your speed and power the first few days. Then you will have to learn to use your abilities. We will depend on you for the next movie."

Zheng nodded. He definitely felt he couldn't control his strength, and he's rather curious on his Qi. Was it as amazing as the novels described it? The punches he received from Jie could knock a normal person out, but it was only painful at first then he felt a warm sensation moving through his body and the pain dissipated.

The four of them had dinner at Jie's room. Then Zheng brought Lori back. On the way back, he was still thinking of the training. He figured out the function of Qi. Other than lessening pain, when he spread it through his body, his speed and strength would double. That was the only time he beat Jie in combat. Jie couldn't even do anything against that kind of power. But then he could barely move for ten minutes. Seemed like this could only be used in danger.

Zheng still hadn't figured out how to use the blood energy yet. Since it's on the same rank as Qi, it shouldn't be too weak.

"Ahem!"

It woke Zheng up from his thoughts. Lori was standing in front of him with a red face. She seemed mad at him. "You're walking with me and your mind is elsewhere. Are you regretting you didn't create another beautiful woman when you saw those two women? I am just a teen, mature women are more attractive, is that what you're thinking?"

He held onto her hands and smiled. "I am thinking about this afternoon's training. I will tell you everything if you want to know. Be confident with yourself. You know there were almost a hundred guys trying to date you in school. And you know I've always liked you, how could I have think about someone else?"

She looked at him for a while, then smiled. "Then you will tell me in a bit how you spent these years. You just said you will tell me everything right?"

Zheng was startled then he forced a smile.

Vol 1: Chapter 7-2.

'Good people should be blessed. But am I still a good person?'

Zheng knew he's not a good person. Lori's death was too much of a shock to him, he became corrupted. Living in a black and white world, games, bars, one night stands, drugs…

He couldn't imagine how she would react when she learned of it. She was so pure, flawless as a crystal. It reflected his filth.

Zheng had prepared for the worst. He sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, then prepared to tell her. Lori stood up. "That's it. Stop. Look at your face, I can guess what you've been through. I don't want to hear it. It will just make me mad."

Then she put her head close to his. "Pervert. Listen carefully. I am back so you will forget all the mess from now on. Those women or other girls. Forget all this. There's only Lori, the only one. Understand?"

She started crying as she said. "I'm sorry. So sorry. I didn't keep our promise. To be together till our hair turns silver. To think about our childhood memories like in the songs. I can forget about you and my memories, but I can't forget this promise. You're probably so sad these years. I was selfish to leave you alone. I'm sorry."

Zheng embraced her without a word. All that's left in the room was her cries. But they know after all the sadness came out, what they have left is hope. The past was over and their future has infinite possibilities and hope.

Times always goes so fast when you're happiest. Zheng spent the days training, then looking through the items God had; and his nights watching horror movies with Lori. Yes, horror movies. He found out he could exchange any movie from God. As someone that had to survive through horror movies, it was more important than anything to be familiar with the plots.

This lasted for nine days. Today was the last day they were to stay in this place. They decided to take a rest and wait until the evening when they would be transported to the next movie. But before that, they have one last chance to finish preparation.

Eleven AM. Zheng's still in bed chatting with Lori.

"Then are you going today?"

Zheng felt a heavy weight. He didn't know what was next. Perhaps a virus, or monsters, or aliens. Once he's in there, survival is not guaranteed. So he didn't answer her. Just held her tight.

"Our promise… to be together until our hair turns silver, to think about our childhood, you have to tell me stories, we have to travel in the real world, to watch auroras, to see the statues in Easter Island… so many promises. Tell me you will come back, and finish these promises with me."

Lori raised her head and looked at Zheng's eyes until he nodded.

"Love is like a sand castle. You put it together bit by bit, and have to prevent it from getting washed away. It's difficult and tiring but when you finish it, you will see how beautiful it is. It's worth spending so much to protect it."

He hadn't heard this for ten years. She always liked to say this, and then looked at him with expectation. He never paid much attention it it back then, but when he heard it again after ten years, he was moved.

"Then… please finish the castle. This time we will keep our promise together."

Zheng closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, he was determined. He will live no matter what.

"That's basically it. Three grenades each person, one hemostatic spray, one oral antidote, one bandage, and an amulet. Thanks to Zheng. These cost 100 points. We wouldn't have the points to exchange for them."

Zheng looked at his points with a bitter smile, he only had 276 points left, down from 6502. But then he looked at all the support items in his ring and felt better.

Jie packed his stuff then put them in his pockets. "Even though it's only a few days but you've trained everything you should. Just remember one point: Everything can happen in movies, so you must be cautious. And try to help others if possible, but if they affect your safety, kill them."

Lan and Xiaoyi hesitated, but Zheng nodded. "How are we going to the next movie? Do we just disappear suddenly?"

Jie shook his head. "No. When it's time, there will be twenty beams. You just have to stand in one."

They sat on the floor in the platform as they talked. Lori and the other two women didn't come out to see the go. Perhaps women were all the same when they had to see their lovers go.

After twenty minutes, God became brighter and brighter. Then it shot twenty beams to the ground. A voice sounded inside their head.

"Enter the beam in thirty seconds. Target locked. Transportation to Alien starts."[1]

The world faded black. Zheng entered a state of half awak and half alseep. This didn't last long. In the blink of an eye his vision came back. This room wasn't too big, the ceiling and walls were made of steel. Various machines spread out in the room, all of them were unfamiliar to Zheng.

He looked to the side. Eleven newbies lied on the ground. Jie and the other two had waken up now.

Jie immediately looked to the ground, then his face turned pale. "This is bad, fifteen people. You won't get this difficulty in a sci fi movie like Alien. God must have changed something."

Zheng looked at him confused. "I've never encountered this situation before. I heard from the veterans that God can change the plot and difficulty of a movie. This happens randomly and usually ends with the party getting wiped. Of course you also get a generous amount of rewards for finishing it. Look at your watch."

Zheng and the other two looked at their watch. It showed different data than during Resident Evil. There was no countdown. The only line it had was 'kill Aliens, every member is rewarded 1000 points and a rank D reward.'

Jie took out a cigarette. "Any of you still remember the plot?"

Zheng shook his head. "This movie is too old, even though it's a classic and I had seen it before. I forgot all the details already."

Xiaoyi shook his head also. "I only saw a few of the latest horror movies these few days. Didn't expect God to choose something like this."

Lan laughed. "You guys are unprofessional. Since our lives is on the line, then you should review even the oldest horror movies. Especially if this dimension existed since the ancient times. I even looked through some horror stories. The plot of Alien…"

"Alien happened sometime in the future. Human's technology was advanced enough to support planetary travels. They created colonies in a few galaxies, but unfortunately humans never found any extraterrestrial life until the start of Alien."

A voice interrupted Lan. A young man stood up from the ground. He had a common face and wore glasses, but his eyes looked unusually calm. He gave off a sense of wisdom.

Zheng was the first to react. "Zheng Zha, welcome." He held out his hand.

The man hesitated then shook his hand. "Chu Xuan. If you don't mind, can you tell me what is this place?"

Zheng smiled bitterly. "It seems like you are familiar with the plot of Alien. Can you tell us the details first?"

Xuan sat on the floor, he adjusted his glasses. "If you insist."

"The plot starts on a commercial spacecraft. According to the law, anyone that encounters an unknown signal during space travel has the obligation to investigate, to determine if it's sent by an intelligent species. In the plot, a commercial spacecraft caught such unknown signal, a frequency that doesn't belong to humans. It may come from extraterrestrial life."

"According to the law, if they don't investigate it, they will be fined. People on the spacecraft were forced to land on the planet that sent the signal."

"Indeed they found the source of the signal. A ruin that might be a spacecraft. They also found the bodies of huge aliens that may have died tens of thousands of years ago, bodies that had fossilized. In the following investigations, they found some cocoons that were still alive."

"One of the staffs touched it out of curiosity. A starfish like organism jumped out at him, then sticked onto his face. Other people brought him back to the spacecraft. These organisms are Aliens. More accurately, the larva form of Aliens. They cannot harm anyone physically and cannot stay alive by themselves. They have to find a host. The larva enters the host's body, even though the host will not look different physically but the larva inside will grow to into an Alien."

"When the people returned to their spacecraft, the larva had already grown. It climbed out through the host's chest. The Alien at this time was about the same size as a serpent but with a much higher attack power and speed. We will call this the second stage. Then the plot becomes repetitive. The Alien hid in the spacecraft and attacked the staffs nonstop until it gained enough nutrients to evolve to the third stage."

"Third stage Aliens are almost flawless. Their exoskeletons are bullet proof, their bodily liquid is acidic. They have insane strength and speed. The staffs finally realized the disaster they brought. In actuality, that signal wasn't a cry for help. It was a warning, to stay away from the ruin. Then…"

At this time, a voice interrupted Xuan. "That's enough already, listening to your bullshit in the morning. What the f*ck is this place?"

The four of them looked at him. The other newbies woke up already. They were looking around in confusion. Three of them with hair dyed in bright colors looked at them impatiently. Dressed in hippie clothes. One had piercing on his nose, and lips. He said loudly. "Who the heck are you? I was gaming in an internet cafe, how the heck did I get here?"

Zheng knew this place takes in all kinds of people. As long as you chose YES when asked the question, you will be transported here. Anyone was possible, he wouldn't be surprised even if the president appeared in front of him.

Zheng ignored these three teenagers and shouted. "Everyone calm down. We will explain the specifics later. For now let Xuan tell us the details of Alien."

Xuan was inspecting Zheng's group. Then he looked at those on the ground and the surroundings. He nodded calmly. "Then the staffs naturally wanted to kill the Alien. They didn't have many weapons, the most notable one was a flamethrower. Of course, according to my calculations, this close range high temperature weapon is rather useless against the high speed and defense of Aliens. They can kill you instantly when they close up on you."

The teenagers were startled by Zheng's tone. But then they saw Xuan continued the conversation ignoring them and started yelling. "F*ck. Who do you think you are? How dare you give us orders? I recognize you, I know where you live. I can bring people to kill your whole family."

Typical hooligans, always talks about killing your family and acts like they know everyone and their addresses. Before Zheng could speak, Jie pulled out his desert eagle and pointed it at them. "Shut up. This is an important time to gather information, don't make me mad."

The teens panicked after seeing the gun. The rest of the newbies immediately moved away from them. Then they started laughing. The one full of piercings pulled out a gun from his jacket. "What street you from? Shit, at least get this model 54 gun if you're getting an imitation. Desert eagle? You think everyone can buy one easily? It's so easy to tell it's a fake."

When the teen took out the gun, Jie pulled the trigger without hesitation. A loud bang and he shot the hand that was holding the gun. The power of a desert eagle easily blew his arm in two.

The teen was startled, he waved his arm in disbelief but when the pain registered, he started screaming. The other two immediately got on the floor. The realization of a real gun scared them.

Then other newbies started screaming. But Zheng noticed a few people remained calm. These people looked at Zheng's group of four silently. He nodded, the newbies were not too bad, at least these few were calm enough.

Xiaoyi went over to pick up the gun. "Jie, this is an immitation, not the real thing."

Jie nodded and put his gun back. "Stop his bleeding with the hemostatic spray, then bandage him up. Oh, and you newbies listen up. Don't point a gun at me, I will get stressed and do something out of panic."

Zheng turned around, he took out a pack of cigarette and handed one to Xuan. "Aren't you scared? That was a real gun."

Xuan rejected the cigarette. "I don't smoke, it will kill my brain cells. You still want me to continue with the plot details?"

Zheng smiled, and lit his cigarette. "Yes please."

"The Alien was beyond their imagination, there were less and less people alive. But there's a bug in the movie, and a contradiction to the plot. The movie's plot was the main characters found out one of them was a robot sent to monitor them by the government. The robot's mission was to bring the Alien back to earth, even if it meant the life of everyone in the spacecraft."

"So according to the robot, the government had already known about the Aliens in that ruin beforehand. Their plan was to sacrifice people on the spacecraft for an evolved one, but is this possible? That the government sent a robot instead of scientists or soldiers. Furthermore, this robot wasn't the leader of the spacecraft. So there was a very high chance of it failing to bring the Alien back. What if the staffs only took a brief look at the ruin then left? The government won't do something so stupid and chose a commercial spacecraft instead of the army."

Xuan adjusted his glasses and continued. "I'll use an anology. A country finds out a hydrogen bomb is buried in the desert within its borders. Then will this country will send an army to bring back the bomb or put a soldier within a group of traveling merchants and find out the bomb by chance as they travel through the desert?"

Zheng and Jie looked at each other. They finally realized why God pulled in so many people. Because of the bug in this movie, God probably changed the plot and therefore increased its difficulty. They had lost their biggest defense in the movie and wouldn't be able to predict what happens next.

Xuan continued inspecting their expressions. "The remaining staffs planned to destroy the spacecraft and escape through a survival pod. Then two more people died before reaching the pod. Only the main character got in successfully, but the Alien followed her in. Then she opened the door of the pod and the it was sucked out into space. She was the only one that survived."

"Now that I'm finished, can you tell me some things? Like what is this place? If I am not mistaken, this is that spacecraft in Alien, right?"

When he saw the look of astonishment from everyone in Zheng's group, he smile. "I was just testing, but now I am certain. Can you explain the situation? I can't imagine how I got here."

Jie and Lan was about to say something, but Zheng waved his hand and interrupted them. "When was the last time you see this movie?"

Xuan adjusted his glasses. "About seven years ago. I can still remember something this recent quite vividly."

Everyone was shocked, remembering something from seven years like this. Then what are they? People without memories?

Xuan turned to the other newbies. "Everyone probably seen the message 'Want to know the meaning of life? Want to live… a real life?' from the internet right?"

People started to answer and their answers all agreed with it. Furthermore, everyone chose YES.

"This message appeared when I was coding. The crucial part is my computer was not connected to the internet at the time. I was not aware of any virus that could break through the firewall I coded. So I immediately started to crack the origin and source code of this message. And guess what I found out?"

Xuan adjusted his glasses and continued in a calm manner. "This message is not coded using 0 or 1's. The source code is not a computer program. It's created with characters and symbols. If memory serves me right, the characters are a combination of the oracle bone script, cuneiform script, and hieroglyphs. Three of the oldest forms of writing in the world. There are also numerous unexplainable symbols."

"I was curious, you have to know that when a computer breaks through the limit of 0s and 1s, artificial intelligence will develop. Especially when this message was coded with so many characters. So I chose the option with the most characters and symbols, which happened to be YES. The outcome was miraculous. I ended up here. Even though I don't know what this place is, it should be far away from Beijing."

Zheng looked around at the stunned people, to be honest, he was shocked by it also. It seemed like the newbies were impressive this time. And who is this guy?

Zheng hesitated then asked. "Who are you? Why do you think this place is far away from Beijing?"

"If I can't deduce this with my IQ of 220 then I wasted my life. Let me introduce myself again. Chu Xuan, Colonel. I was in a secret military base in Beijing, the second top secret base of China. I don't believe anyone can kidnap me out of there. Furthermore, my detector device shows that I haven't left the base, yet I am obviously in somewhere else."

Xuan showed them his watch. According to him, this watch was specifically designed for top researchers to prevent them from getting kidnapped. It remains connected to the computer in the military base, and send signals of it's location and how far it is away from the base.

"The only possible explanation is I left the dimension instantly. Since I am in a different dimension, the watch can't connect to the base's computer and thinks I am still there. So it seems like absurd explanation is actually correct."

Zheng looked at Jie. "Lan go explain to them about this place, and why we are here."

Lan's eyes brighten then smiled. "Thank you guys. Hehe. I will make you guys a meal when we go back. Women are naturally weaker than men physically so these 100 points can go toward my cell vitality and muscle density."

Then Lan explained this world to the newbies, and that they were in Alien. The watch on their hand shows them their mission, kill the Aliens. Of course she kept the information about side quests from them. This was a valuable that only belonged to the four of them.

Most people either didn't believe it or panicked. Other than Xuan who was looking around calmly, there were two more people looking at Zheng's group. This was when Zheng noticed a caucasian with a large build.

He walked over to these two people. "What are your names? Can you understand Chinese?"

One of them was slender but had dense muscle. He didn't shake Zheng's hand and took a step back. "You can call me Zero. I don't want to answer any other questions."

The caucasian shook Zheng's hands openly. "Kampa Lovski. Of course I can understand Mandarine. Just that I and not used to it. Your hands are… strong."

Zheng then turned to look at the others. Aside from the three hooligans on the ground, there were two middle aged fat men, they stood together cautiously and holding suitcases. These two were probably businessmen that knew each other in the real world. Two twenty something young men. One of the was smart enough to inspect the surroundings, the other was flirting with the woman. Based on their clothing, they were probably white collar workers. They had seemed to had calmed down.

Zheng shook his head then shouted. "Everyone please introduce your occupation, age, and what you're good at, so we can assign your responsibilites properly."

These people hesitated, then Xuan said. "Even though that's what you are saying, but we can't confirm those are the truth.Do you have anything to prove you're not lying? Like the things you exchanged or your physical abilities?"

Jie snorted. "You think it's easy to survive in horror movies? Maybe people that lived through twenty movies could satisfy your request. They can definitely penetrate through steel with a punch."

Xuan shook his head. "No, you're mistaken. I am not being sarcastic. But for our cooperation to go smoothly it's better to eliminate our wariness." Then he looked at Zero and Kampa.

He added. "Then just let us take a look at the hemostatic spray and bandage."

Jie turned to Xiaoyi and nodded. Xiaoyi threw the spray and bandage toward Xuan. Xuan asked again. "Anyone have a knife? The sharper the better."

Zheng and his group looked at each other. They actually don't have any close combat weapons. At this time Kampa took out a dagger from his pocket and threw it over to Xuan. Zheng just realized this caucasian and Zero was focusing on Xuan.

Xuan sliced his wrist decisively, as if that hand didn't belong to him. Blood started pouring out like water. Lan and the other woman started to scream as they saw it. The rest of the newbies were startled also. Then Xuan sprayed his wrist with the hemostatic spray. Miraculously the wound started to clot and the bleeding stopped after a few seconds. Then he bandaged the wound and handed the dagger, spray and bandage to Kampa.

As Zheng's group looked, they noticed Kampa and Zero did the same thing. After they finished, Kampa said. "I am a member of an international mercenary group. A top ranked gunner. My nick name is Overlord. To be honest, I would rather you to be lying. This is a terrible place."

Zero returned the spray and bandage to Xiaoyi, then he said codly. "I don't have a name, just call me Zero. I am an assassin specialized in long distance sniping. Unfortunately this movie doesn't require my skill. And there are no sniper rifles here."

Zheng nodded and before he could speak, Jie laughed out loud. "Good, your abilities are quite capable. The four of us survived from the last movie. I lived through four movies and they lived through one. Though it seems like we miscalculated. We should had exchanged some limited ammo guns, since those are rather inexpensive."

Then Lan explained how they would go back to God's dimension after the mission is finished, and the categories of items. She smiled after saying everything. Looks like she got that 100 points.

Xuan adjusted his glasses and asked in confusion. "But why is he the strongest one?" He pointed to Zheng. In fact, Zero and Kampa were also paying close attention to Zheng, though they were silent this whole time.

Zheng laughed. "You get 1000 points every time you survive a movie, that's fixed. Other than that, God will issue you missions. Completing these missions will earn you extra points. Look at the watch, it displays the mission for this movie and the rewards."

"I finished a mission in the last movie and was rewarded extra points. So I'm a bit stronger than them after spending my rewards on enhancements."

Xuan was going to ask more but the only door in this room opened. Everyone looked toward it, yet there was nothing outside.

"The movie is starting!" Jie immediately took out his desert eagle and pointed it at the door. Several minutes passed and there was nothing.

Zheng and the rest let out a sigh of relief. Then they saw the two middle aged men walked outside. He was appalled and immediately yelled. "Don't go out carelessly, this is only your first movie. You're much weaker than us and in much more danger than us. Even if someone is to gather information, we should do it instead."

Zero sneered. "You think they are going to gather information?"

As he was speaking, the young man and woman pair followed out, then the hooligans sprint toward the door too. Zheng could hear the middle aged men said. "Heh. He thinks we don't know. Trying to con us with some stage and actors. At least spend more money on the set up, look at that scrub, if he's an assassin then what am I?"

The young man and woman agreed in a low voice. Though the hooligans just ran away without saying anything. In the end, only four of the newbies stayed. Xuan, Kampa, Zero, and the smarter young man.

The young man walked over to them cautiously. "Can I join your group? Even though everything is unimaginable, but I still wish to stay by you. Oh right, my name is Li Shuaixi (Shuai). Occupation… just graduated from college, don't have any occupation yet. But I used to watch a lot of horror movies and stories at home. Oh, and I am familiar with fantasy web novels and various mythologies."

Zheng and Jie looked at each other, then he held out his hand. "Welcome to this group. Even though we are not guaranteed to live, we won't give up on our comrads."

Jie put his gun back in his pocket, then asked. "What should we do next? We can't just stay here."

"Information." Lan and Xuan said simultaneously, then they smiled at each other. Xuan waved his hand. "It's better to have you say it. I specialize in analysis. Not as confident in planning out."

Lan touched her forehead. "Hehe. I was a writer. So I am quite confident at devising plans. If I get anything wrong, please remind me."

"The four of us did a brief analysis when before you woke up. To be honest, Alien isn't a difficult movie. Since there's only one Alien in the whole movie. In comparison, it has a lower difficulty than Resident Evil. Both movies can be explained using science. Yet why is Resident Evil a seven people difficulty movie while this is fifteen? We believe that the plot changed so the difficulty is raised accordingly."

Xuan nodded. "Resident Evil 1? If that's the comparison then the hunters in Resident Evil 1 are on ar with Aliens, furthermore they are in much larger numbers. Your deduction is sound, the difficulty of Alien shouldn't be higher than Resident Evil. If the plot changed, what do you suggest we do?"

"Information!" Lan said with certainty. "We need to know how much the plot changed, why is the difficulty so high? Also we don't know the real strength of Aliens from just watching the movie. We have to fight one to learn his speed, strength, and other variables. Then we can devise a method to kill them."

Seeing that Xuan nodded, Zero and Kampa did not object, Zheng also nodded and said. "Then we will go investigate this spacecraft. It would be best if we can meet the casts, and if we encounter an Alien, I will fight him head on. Jie's desert eagle has infinite ammo, if you can, let Zero support me with it. I think I should be able to escape with Qi if something goes wrong."

At the same time, they heard a scream from the other side of the hall. The voice belonged to the two middle aged men and the young man and woman. The eight of them ran toward the sound source. Xuan, Zero and Kampa's physical fitness were amazing. They kept up in running with the four that gone through enhancements. Only the young man started panting as he ran.

Zheng turned around to take a look, then sighed and ran over to take a hold of his hand. Even then he was still exhausted.

The scream came from a lobby. The middle age men and the other two saw on the ground screaming in terror. Following where their fingers pointed, three corpses lied on the ground. The bodies belonged to a blonde woman, a black man, and a caucasian. Their faces were twisted as if they experienced intense pain before death.

As Zheng's group entered the lobby, the four ran to the hall on the other side. Zheng sighed and didn't bother to chase them. He kneel down next to the bodies. After a few look, his face turned pale. "How many Aliens… were in the movie?"

Xuan said with certainty. "One. My memory won't be wrong in such detail."

Zheng stood up with a pale face. The three corpses under him all had a hole on their chest. This meant that a stage two Alien came out through their chest. Furthermore, one of the body had a hole that covered the chest and abdomen, like an Alien several times bigger than average came out of it. An Alien that size was terrifying just from imagining it.

"We are going to face three… perhaps more and bigger Aliens soon."

Vol 2: Chapter 1-1.

There was only one Alien in this movie. Yet this Alien still killed everyone besides the main character.

Zero crouched beside the bodies without a word. He dipped his finger into the blood, then smelled it. "Dead for four to five hours."

Xuan also crouched next to the bodies then measured the diameter of the holes with his fingers and compared their sizes. He stood up with a serious expression after quite some time. "It's indeed a queen. This is bad news, our mission is to eliminate all Aliens right? If there's a queen in this spacecraft then… I think we are probably dead."

The others looked at him. Lan touched her forehead and said. "I remember the queen is the kind that can lay eggs. It has an immense size compared to regular Aliens. Is this what you're referring to?"

Xuan nodded. "Yes. It's over ten times stronger than a regular Alien. You can't even damage it without heavy firearms. The worst thing is we are obvious out here."

Zheng asked. "Obvious? What do you mean?"

"Food, think about it, to grow an Alien from the size of a serpent to over six feet tall in a short period of time, do you think they can just grow out of thin air? No, it requires a huge amount of organic material and energy. In other words, they need to eat during this period. In fact I was curious why didn't they eat the bodies? Does that mean they had already found enough bodies?" Xuan mumbled these words.

Xuan stood up and continued. "We are very likely to become their food. If it's only the eight of us, we could stay together and react when they appear. But what about the other seven? They are spread out through the spacecraft. They are the most delicious food in the eyes of Aliens. In fact, I suspect that all the casts had already became Alien eggs. There are eight characters, aside from the robot, the worst case senario is a Alien queen and five Aliens. This is the most likely situation we will face."

Jie asked. "Why not a few more queens? Since we are going to die anyway, a few more won't make a difference."

Xuan shook his head. "That's not possible. Aliens have their own society, just like ants and bees. There can only be one queen in a group, otherwise it will cause internal division and war, or the weaker one will leave the group. But this is inside a spacecraft, and there are only so many Aliens. There can't be another queen."

"As a matter of fact, when I first saw the movie, I had considered this species as the perfect species in the evolution of the physical body. They will adjust their form and adapt to the environment based on the genetics of the host. They can keep on modifying their genes to evolve. This is so similar to humans that unlocked their genetic constraints."

Genetic constraints? Humans? Everyone looked at this scientist with a colonel rank as he indulged in his thoughts. Then at the same time, screams and cries for help came from far in the hall. These screams sounded more and more miserable and after ten seconds, they disappeared.

Zero stared at the hall and said emotionlessly. "It's those hooligans. They got attacked."

Zheng sighed. "Let's still go take a look, if we find any Alien, we can kill them. They are supposed to be rather weak right now?"

Xuan nodded. "Yes. The Aliens are still in their second stage. We can kill them with enough fire power. Do you really only have a desert eagle and didn't exchange any other weapons?"

Zheng and Jie smiled bitterly. "We are different from you after all. I am only a white collar worker. Aside from Jie being a retired soldier, Lan's a writer and Xiaoyi's only a student. Can you expect us to know a lot or how to fight a battle?"

Xuan smiled. "Let's go, we will go take a look first. And you are not totally correct. Remember I mentioned genetic constraint? This is the highest technology in our world. Our country got ahead of the world, even the US and European countries might not know more than us about this."

"In the ancient ages when our ancestors were still apes, no, it was even before that, the dryopithecus, there was a missing period of time in our archaeological studies. Nothing indicated why apes evolved into man. Don't trust textbooks that said it was gradual evolution over millions of years. Let me tell you, the latest genetic studies show that this evolution only took 120 years. Not several million, not even several thousand, it's merely 120 years. Humans evolved from dryopithecus to the early man, australopithecus."

"From the oldest single cell organism to multi cell organism, to invertebrates, to reptiles, and gradually evolved to the modern human, our history is indicated in our genetic code. Do you know what appeared in our genetic code during those 120 years? Let me tell you, it's a constraint."

"Yes, a constraint, our evolution exploded only for 120 years, then it was sealed off due to various unkonwn reasons. After that, from the early man to modern human, our evolution was actually minimal. To the point that we didn't even evolve a bit for the past tens of thousands of years. You can say that our technology is evolving, we are more advanced that people tens of thousands of years ago, but this is only an accumulation of knowledge. It has nothing to do with biological evolution. Our evolution has come to a stop."

Xuan said as he ran. He didn't care for the shocked expressions of everyone and continued. "This dimension, I am not talking about Alien but the overall dimension of horror movies, I've seen this before. Except that I didn't understand it's meaning at the time. In the ruin where we found a human skull in a cave, our country actually found a tablet with words carved on it. We translated most of the words, it basically said, 'When human evolution comes to a stop, horror will unlock human's genetic constraint again, to restart the advancement of evolution.' The message was left by people named, 'The first group of humans to unlock genetic constraints'. Perhaps this dimension existed since the ancient times."

Zheng asked. "What happens when we unlock the genetic constraint? Humans become supermans?"

Xuan smiled. "You probably heard this line, all things in their beings are good for something. According to our genetic code, there are no weaklings in human, every person is supposed to have a speciality. And his speciality is guaranteed to be among the most talented. In fact, some can achieve it through training, such as sports, or memory, or wit. Removing the genetic constraint will allow us to choose our speciality depending on the situation. You can be a genius when you need to think, have unparalleled strength when you need power, and during battle… you can become a super warrior that can survive no matter what happens, even if everyone else died, you will live."

"Being able to solve any difficulties, has the mentality to never give up, and survive through any situation! This is our evolution after removing the genetic constraints!"

Vol 2: Chapter 1-2.

Xuan's words were shocking to the others. Humans that can alter their speciality at will and be able to survive through any situation were pushing the limit of the potential of our species.

"Just think about it. Apes reached this limit and became human, then what will humans become when we reach it?"

Zheng felt a thought came up, but when he calmed down to think about it, the thought disappeared.

Zero, who was quiet this whole time, asked. "How do you unlock the genetic constraint? With drugs or something else?"

Xuan waved his hand. "Needs a substance similar to the epinephrine hormone that can only be produced by the human body. The crucial point is… it's a poison. You probably heard of stories like a mother lifting a car to save her son. This actually happened but this woman died soon afterward. Scientists found a micro amount of this substance in her blood."

"Therefore it's impossible to unlock the genetic constraint with outside help, at least we can't do it with our current technology. You can only work towards it yourself. Of course we don't even have a direction right now. Anyway, I suspect that this dimension is related to genetic constraints. It might even be the creation of the first group of humans that unlocked their genetic constraints."

Jie laughed. "You think ancient apes predicted the horror movies we will watch? And all those sci fi weapons that you can exchange, you think they can predict everything?"

Xuan smiled indifferently. "Apes perhaps can't but what if the thing they created has created artificial intelligence? Computers won't die, they can record our horror movies then make us experience them, until we die or break the limit to unlock the genetic constraint. Then we will be able to earn enough points to leave. What do you think of this hypothesis?"

Zero suddenly said in a low voice. "Perhaps you're right but please be aware of our situation. There's a scent of blood from the left turn thirty meters ahead of us. Who will go take a look?"

Zheng gritted his teeth. "My stats are the highest, so I will go."

The other people cleared a path without a word. Jie took out his gun then gave everyone a grenade.

Zheng took a deep breath, suppressing the terror he's feeling. He walked lightly toward the turn. Due to the anxiety he's feeling, for a while he could hear his heartbeats, then gradually, it seemed like he could felt the little movements in his blood vessels. This was a wonderful feeling, unexplainable but Zheng was enlightened a bit, as though he's one step away from unlocking the genetic constraint.

Unfortunately this condition didn't last long. When he looked to the left carefully, he was appalled and the condition disappeared. All that's left in his mind was terror.

To the left of the hall was filled with pieces of flesh. Bones, organs, flesh were piled up, he couldn't even make out the form of a human. Aside from the ripped clothes on the ground, no one would had believe.

Zheng held onto the wall and started to vomit. The others saw that there was no danger and ran over to him. Lan, Xiaoyi, and Shuai started to vomit along. Even Jie's lips twitched as he saw it. Zero, Kampa and Xuan crouched beside the flesh and studied them silently.

Kampa picked up a few pieces of clothes, looked at Zero and said. "It's those three hooligans. The flesh of two bodies are gone."

Zheng just stopped vomiting but when he heard this, he started at it again.

"No, I don't think so." Xuan looked at the flesh carefully. "I have done some dissection experiments, most of these flesh are crushed bones, and the dirty parts of organs. Look at this, a fragment of the shoulder blade, I've found three different ones already. So I think the Alien took away all the edible flesh."

There's nothing left for Zheng and the others to vomit anymore. They could only feel their stomach twitching non stop. At last, Zheng had a better physical body, he could still move afterward, but the other four could barely stand while holding onto the wall.

Xuan, Kampa, and Zero finished their discussion and walked back to the others. He frowned as he looked at them. "We will leave this place first, the situation is worse than we expected. There's already a third stage Alien, and… it may be nearby."

As he finished talking, Zero and Kampa suddenly got on the ground. There was a hint of fear in their eyes, especially Zero. He said in a quick and low voice. "Something's not right, there's danger."

People that lived on the edge of death tend to have a sixth sense for danger. When Zero and Kampa got on the ground, Zheng felt his heart tightened. He couldn't explain this feeling. He looked behind instinctively and there was a huge shadow.

Xiaoyi was standing at the outer most of the group, he could barely stand after the vomiting. When Zheng looked behind him with a terrified expression, he forced himself to turn his head around, then he froze.

This was a matured Alien, almost three meters tall, and over three meters in length with it's tail. It was covered in shiny black exoskeleton, a huge and long head that extended to its back, a mouth full of sharp teeth, even the tongue was filled with little teeth.

Xiaoyi looked at its mouth as saliva dripped off it, before he could do anything, the Alien's huge tongue penetrated his shoulder. That tongue moved so fast that even Zheng could only see a shadow. Then the Alien dragged Xiaoyi to the corner.

"Ah! No! Jie, Zheng, save me! I don't want to die!"

Xiaoyi screamed like a mad man, but his strength was so insignificant compared to the Alien. He struggled like a baby. His hand gripped on the corner of the wall as the Alien dragged him. He didn't loosen his grip even as his nails flipped. Finally the Alien got him through the corner and left five trails of blood on the wall. Then the hall was filled with painful and miserable screams, along with the sound of crushing and ripping of bones and flesh.

Vol 2: Chapter 1-3.

Zheng, Zero, and Kampa were the first ones to woke up from the shock. Zero and Kampa both did the same thing, they held onto the grenades with a finger through the ring. As soon as the Alien appears, they would throw the grenades at it. He remembered that he said never give up on any comrades. He definitely heard Xiaoyi's cry for help.

Around the corner, three Aliens were ripping on Xiaoyi. He was still not dead. His whole body was twitching. The Aliens' strength were so powerful, their tongues touched him lightly and his body was ripped apart like paper. Zheng could only take a last look of those despair eyes before Xiaoyi's head was crushed.

Another Alien turned around to look at Zheng. It extended it's tongue out, saliva dripping on the ground. Then it screamed at Zheng. The scream woke him up from the shock. He looked at Xiaoyi again, no, the pieces of his body, before he turned around and ran back.

"Run! Shit! There are three Aliens!" He yelled as he ran.

Zero and Kampa threw their grenades then ran back. Jie, Xuan, and Shuai followed behind.

Lan was running on the back near Zheng, but her speed just isn't fast enough, the explosion was likely to affect her. Zheng picked her up when he ran by. When the explosion wave came, they both got knocked to the ground.

Zheng forcibly turned his body around right before he reached the ground, taking the impact while Lan landed on him. She looked at him in surprise then smiled. "You're a nice guy."

Zheng's mind went blank for a moment then yelled. "What're you talking about, hurry and run!" Then he was going to push Lan off him to get up.

Lan gripped on his shirt's collars tightly. "My enhancements are low, my running speed definitely can't keep up. Carry me."

By this time, Jie and the other four were out of sight already. Zheng didn't have time to say anything else. The explosion could only delay the Aliens for so long. If they don't start to run, they will just die here. He gritted his teeth, picked Lan up and started sprinting.

Zheng's physical body was strong, he could barely feel the weight of a person. After running through a few halls, he realized that he got lost. He was just running as fast as he could without any time to think, but having gone so far without encountering Jie and the others, Zheng got separated from the group.

He gritted his teeth and continued on. Another hundred meter went by until he saw a steel door on the side. He carried Lan inside.

All the doors on this spacecraft had automatic sensors and will open when a person gets near. They easily got into the room. Then Lan jumped out from his arms. She pressed some buttons next to the door then it closed. The light on top of the door turned red.

Lan exhaled, then patted her chest. "That was scary, I couldn't even move my hands and feet. The Aliens were more disgusting and scary than in the movie."

Zheng was staring at her, her breasts were actually big. He couldn't feel it when he was running, but now that he thought about carrying her, and her breasts were pressed onto his chest. He immediately looked away.

Lan sensed what happened then blushed. "I knew it this door could be closed. Otherwise if anyone can enter your bedroom, then there would be no privacy."

Zheng coughed to calm himself down. Then he thought about Xiaoyi's face. Even though Xiaoyi looked common, and a little weak, he was a kind hearted kid. He laughed a lot during training, and said his biggest dream was to get enough power through enhancements, then go back to school and teach those bullies a lesson, but now he's…

"F*ck! I said I won't give up on any comrades! Yet I got scared and ran!"

Zheng got more and more angry. He kept punching on things. Bang! A steel bar the thickness of an arm got bent. He and Lan looked at it with their eyes wide open.

Lan ran over immediately. This room wasn't big, other than bed made of steel, there were some simple furnitures and a TV. That steel bar was from the bed.

"Wah. When did you get so strong?"

Lan touched the bar then at his fist. It was even scratched. She said with surprise. "Is your fist made of steel? That was powerful."

Zheng was surprised also. He then tried and punched at another steel bar with full strength this time. The whole bar broke in half and the bed knocked to the ground. He looked at his fist in disbelieve.

"That's not possible, I never won against Jie in close combat unless I used Qi. If I have this kind of strength I could had knocked him out in one punch."

Lan touched her forehead. "Perhaps you held back, not consciously, but because you obtained such strength you subconsciously held back. And it's not only strength, there isn't even a scratch. Your skin is more tough than steel."

Zheng tighten his fist, then a thought came to mind. "Say how destructive would it be if I throw this steel bar with all my strength and while using Qi?"

Lan looked at the bar that was broken in half and smiled. "Why don't you try it now? If the results are good… hehe, if you do then I won't tell Lori you peeked at my chest."

Zheng kept his mouth shut. He was too familiar with Lan's expression and tone. During his past ten years, he saw a few women gave him that expression. He knew the best choice was to stay silent.

He turned around and grabbed the broken bar. Sure enough, his strength had gotten to this level. He never had the chance to test it in God's room. He broke the bar off the bed with just a hand. That screeching sound of bending the metal was so harsh yet at the same time gave them a sense of safety.

Zheng took a deep breath, directed his Qi all over the body, then he gave a loud shout and threw the bar. With a shattering sound, the bar penetrated the steel wall. This bar was over half a meter long, only a few centimeters of it was left outside the wall, the rest was inserted into the wall. The power of this throw was enormous.

Zheng and Lan were shocked at the result. They stared at each other for quite a while, then turned turned around simultaneously… to the rest of the bars on the bed.

"Since we had forgotten to exchange for heavy firearms, then we will use this primitive weapon to crush them!" Zheng muttered. Lan was laughing by the side, her breasts jiggled as she laughed. Zheng couldn't help but peek at it. She seemed to have noticed and blushed a bit.

Perhaps this is the only thing enjoyable now, Zheng thought as he peeked. Yet when he remembered those three huge monsters of a nightmare, he felt a sense of despair, and a bit of stubbornness of refusing to accept fate.

Live, no matter how hopeless the situation is… I must live!

Aside from the lack of heavy firearms, they also didn't have any food or water. Without these two things, if they were locked in anywhere, they were very likely to die from starvation or dehydration.

"We're still newbs. We thought we are veterans from surviving a movie, yet there are still so many things we didn't prepare. Then we just came in here as if this is a field trip."

Zheng sighed. Lan nodded, she was looking for something on the wall.

Zheng asked in curiosity. "What are you looking for?"

She replied without turning her head. "This is a modernized spacecraft, there's probably some high tech communication tools. Otherwise the characters would have to speak to each other face to face all the time."

As she spoke, she found device with buttons hanging on the wall. When she pressed it, a sound came from above, just like when a call was connected but no one was on the other side.

Lan touched her forehead. "There are over forty buttons, assuming each one connects to a room, then we are in the center of the spacecraft, and we shouldn't be far away from the control room."

Zheng walked over. The device had 46 buttons. The number 21 was indicated on the device, and the button 27 was painted red.

He tried to follow Lan's thoughts. If the spacecraft was divided into 46 areas, 1 and 46 were on the edge of the spacecraft. The room they were in, 21, was close to the center, then the special red 27 was probably the control room.

Zheng hesistated. "What if the numbers have nothing to do with the position of the rooms? Like the rooms were numbered randomly. And if that red 27 is not the control room, but instead it's the security room or something else? It's too arbitrary to just assume our position like this."

"Humph, it is arbitrary, yet it's still better than waiting here for the Aliens to find us. Or do you want to experience the same thing as when the hunter from Resident Evil was charging at the door? Just stared as the door was broken in and we couldn't do anything? Even if room 27 is the security room instead, it will probably have some weapons."

Zheng felt a headache, it's not wise to get in an argument with women. They would start a lecture when they feel objected. He immediately nodded his head. "Yes. Good. No problem. I also think we should go out to search. Anything is better than staying here. I agree with your decision."

Lan started to smile. "Yes, I knew you are a nice guy. You can accept a lady's opinion. Hehe. Then I will count on you, please protect me."

Zheng carried tied three steel bars to his back, then held onto the thickest and longest one. He didn't say anything and watched as Lan turned the light of the door from red to green. He took a deep breath and sprint out.

"Yes. My deduction is correct. Every important room has a communication device and a number. We just passed by room 25. In other words, the control room is near."

Xuan walked out from a room and said to the other four people. The other four looked around nervously. Jie suddenly asked. "What can we do if we find the control room? I say we should go look for Zheng and Lan, he's the strongest one among us."

Xuan said without emotions. "Regardless whether they're alive or dead, in order to find them we have to first get to the control room. We are not familiar with the locations of this spacecraft, we don't even know where the Aliens are, where the weapons are, where the food and water are, and… do you know where the toilets are? So we have to find the control room and learn the map and locations of the spacecraft, then we will have the ability to fight."

Jie was about to say something, but at last he remained silent. Zero said coldly. "Hurry up. I keep feeling there's something following behind us. Even though it's still far away, but this sense of danger is very obvious."

Kampa also nodded and said in choppy Chinese. "Yes. Very dangerous. I am certain it's an Alien."

Xuan frowned. "Ok, we will choose to go through the left hall. Everyone start to run, we have to find the control room no matter what. If my deduction is correct… finding the control room will increase our chance of survival."

At the same time, Zheng was at a place not far from Xuan. The two cautiously advanced towards room 27. After a while, Lan yelled. "Stop. I'll go check out that room, if something happens… judge the situation yourself." Then she went into the room alone.

Zheng muttered with a bitter smile. "Easier said than done, judge the situation myself. No matter how I judge it's still death…"

Even though he complained, he concentrated his attention on the surroundings. His muscles were all tensed up, his hand holding onto the steel bar. Yet without any reason, he felt very uncomfortable, as if something dangerous was approaching him. This made his him more nervous.

About a minute later, Lan came out happily. She smiled. "Great, my deduction is correct. This is room 23, room 22 is definitely in one of the halls we passed by. If we just follow this path, then we will get to the control room. Hmm? Your face looks pale, are you too scared?"

Zheng forced a smile. "I don't know why. I am feeling a bit worried. Perhaps we should find somewhere to hide for a while."

Lan shook her head, and said in a serious tone. "We can't. It's already dangerous being separated from the group, especially since we are so close to the control room. We have to get there first… I know maybe you are not feeling well? But can you hold on for a little longer?"

Zheng smiled bitterly. "Then let's go. My body is in good condition. It's just feeling a little worried… Ayyy. I've never seen a woman like you, being so tough. Normal women would be too scared to move in this situation."

Lan laughed. "Hehe. I've been tough since I was a little girl. My parents died on my twelfth birthday. They got in a car accident when they went out to buy a birthday cake. If I'm not tough enough, I won't live till now. So, for such a good girl like me, you have to do your best to protect me…"

Pah!

As Lan made a turn on the corner, she was still talking to Zheng with laughter. Suddenly a tongue full of teeth shot out from the side and penetrated her shoulder. Blood splattered and painted Zheng's eyes red. He felt as if he was still hearing that laughter by his ears, and that line. "You have to do your best to protect me…"

"NO!"

(Trying out present tense, let me know in comments if it's better)

Zheng's eyes are bloody red, don't know if it's from the anger he's feeling or Lan's blood. When the girl disappears through the corner, he charges forward but he used too much strength and is running into the wall.

His enhanced reaction speed saves him at this moment. Everythings slows down, he feels every movement takes a great deal of energy even with his physical fitness. His body feels as if it's going to tear up. The ground, air, even the wall, there's seemingly a force from every object pulling on his body to prevent him from moving too fast. He had never experienced this phenomenon before.

When he is reaching so close to the wall, the air feels so condensed like it's liquid. He can even step on the air and jumped at the wall. Then he kicks on the wall to make the turn. The first thing he sees is an Alien dragging Lan. This Alien is a size smaller than the one before but it's still over two meters tall and three meters in length. It's dragging Lan towards the deeper end of the hall. The girl's left shoulder is crushed. Her body filled with blood. There is only despair and a hint of longing in her eyes.

Zheng suddenly understands that longing, that's the hope for life and future. Even though he never saw his own eyes, but he knows when he was in a hopeless situation, he must had that hint of longing in his eyes. He's certain of it!

In Zheng's eyes, Lan's image has became Xiaoyi, about to get ripped apart and become a pile of flesh, or it will become himself. When he gets dragged by an Alien, he would have the same despair and longing, then get ripped apart… He doesn't want this! He has to save this girl no matter what!

"Ahh!" Zheng screams like a madman. He can almost see every movement the Alien makes because everything slowed down. The jump he made off the wall shot him straight towards the Alien.

This all happened in an instant. In Lan's perspective, Zheng charged at the wall then kicked at it in a weird angle. That kick made a muffled sound, and embedded two footprints on the steel wall. Then he disappeared in her eyes. She couldn't follow that kind of speed.

Zheng has reached the Alien. He could see the saliva dripping off its mouth, and that long tongue. He swings his steel bar at its tongue with pinpoint accuracy. With a dull sound, Lan falls on the floor. The Alien starts to scream like crazy. Acid sprays from its broken tongue. The tongue was cut in half.

"Ahhh!" It's not over yet, Zheng screams along with the Alien. He has lost all senses. His eyes are bloody red and filled with frenzy. It may have been the blood of Lan, or they really turned red.

As Zheng lands behind the Alien, he swings at its back. With a sound of metals colliding, the steel bar got bended. Though the Alien is not looking good either. The exoskeleton on its back cracked and acid is pouring out from the wound. The ground is filled with craters from the acid at this point.

The Alien's speed is just as fast. Even when Zheng could feel the surroundings slowed down, he is only on par with the Alien's speed. When the Alien swipes at him with its claw, he can barely raise his arm to block it in time. With a loud sound, the impact knocked him to the ground, and the whole hall vibrated. Blood is pouring down from his head from the impact.

Zheng is fighting with his life at this point. He doesn't have a shell as tough as the Alien's exoskeleton. When he blocked the swipe, it left a few holes on his arm. Not only that, the Alien is so powerful when his head hit the ground, he almost fainted. He bit his tongue at that moment, the pain from it kept him awake.

He's not even planning to get up, he pulls another steel bar from his back and swings it with all he has at the Alien's feet. His physical strength and the buff from Qi knock the Alien to the ground. As the Alien falls, it raises its tail and stabs at Zheng's leg. The Alien's combat instincts are so strong, it lives up to being a species that evolve for killing and survival.

Zheng's mind goes blank. He feels as if his body is moving on its own. Countless instincts on combat rise to his mind. He dodges to the side then rolls back, that pulled his leg out from the tail. Then he kicks at the ground and jumps at the Alien, while he stabs at its mouth with the steel bar.

He let go of the bar in the Alien's mouth and pulled another one from his back. He keeps stabbing at the Alien's head with it non stop even when the acid from the Alien's blood sprayed all over his body. He looks like he has gone insane and wants to tear the Alien to pieces. Fortunately Lan reacts in time. She ignores her injuries and jumps at Zheng. It knocked both of them to the ground a few meters away. That's when Zheng slowly woke up.

The front of his body feels painful and a burning sensation. He quickly takes off all his clothes and attempts to wipe off the acid on his body. The acid causes a sizzling sound on the ground and corrodes the steel like melting ice. Yet, Zheng's skin only turned a bit dark, there is no sign of corrosion, which surprises Lan quite a bit.

As lan stops his bleeding with the hemostasis spray, she says with a light voice. "It's great to be alive. Thank you… But why isn't there any injuries on your skin? The Alien's blood should be highly acidic."

Zheng wiped off all the acid on his body. His mind is still blank. Everything that happened felt like a nightmare. He was basically fighting by instinct, especially after the Alien stabbed his leg, he felt like a chain within his body had broken off.

"Maybe it's because I have high stats in cell vitality and immunization. At least my skin is burned dark by the acid."

As he tries to take out another hemostasis spray from his ring, his whole body goes into a seizure. A painful and paralyzing sensation starts from his internal organs, like countless ants crawling on them, then this pain spreads to his bones and marrows, then it moves along with his blood to the skin. Gradually all he can see is whiteness, he feels as if he is about to die.

""Just think about it. Apes reached this limit and became human, then what will humans become when we reach it?"

"Needs a substance similar to the epinephrine hormone that can only be produced by the human body. The crucial point is… it's a poison. You probably heard of stories like a mother lifting a car to save her son. This actually happened but this woman died soon afterward. Scientists found a micro amount of this substance in her blood."

"… Genetic constraint…"

Zheng remembers Xuan's words on genetic constraint. He doesn't know if he accidentally unlocked this genetic constraint, but he knows that he is struggling on the brink of death. The seizure on his internal organs is getting stronger, blood bleeds through his mouth and nose. Then his lungs also start to have seizures, he can barely breath in any air. He opens his mouth wide struggling to breath.

Lan reacts instantly. She holds onto Zheng's body and puts her lips on his, trying to give him air. After about ten seconds, Zheng's internal organs slowly calmed down, then his lungs also starts to breath, the pain on his skin is fading. But Lan doesn't know and continues giving him air. At the same time, she is also weeping and mumbling. "Don't die. Please. Don't leave me alone. Please stay alive with me…"

Vol 2: Chapter 2-3.

Is it because someone close to her left her before, so she's afraid of losing again?

Zheng feels as if he can understand her. He thinks they are the same kind of people, after losing something especially important, they made a promise with themselves never to lose again. That's why they're desperately clinging onto their lives. That's why they're supporting each other.

"I'm much better." Then another girl's face flashes through Zheng's mind. He lightly pushes Lan away. Even though he can barely move, but this push is firm and determined.

Lan is crying, then suddenly she gets pushed away. Her mind goes blank for a moment then she smiles unnaturally. "Are you alright now? You scared me just then. You were like you had an epileptic seizure, and blood was coming out of your mouth. That looked so horrifying…"

Zheng feels totally exhausted, yet compared to the pain a moment again, this is like heaven to him. He smiles bitterly. "Thank you so much, thanks for helping… helping me breath. Otherwise I would had fainted from suffocation. If I lost conscious under that situation… I think I would have been a corpse by now."

Lan's expressions came back to normal. She laughed. "I have to thank you, if you didn't save me then I don't know what would have happened. So what was that? Do you have a medical history?"

Zheng shakes his head, he doesn't know how to describe what just happened. When he was on the border of life and death, he felt something unlocked within him. The combat was smooth and and the precision of his movements was within a millimeter. He spent every bit of his energy without waste. The combat instincts had no compassion or fear. If he really has to describe it with a phenomenon, it would be similar to SEED mode.

Of course, this is probably the genetic constraint that Xuan talked about, evolved human beings that can survive through any extremes. This also explains why it was so painful afterward, that was probably the side effects from the substance generated from unlocking the constraint.

The pain comes and goes quickly. Zheng feels he is gradually recovering his energy. Yet the feeling of unlocked genetic constraint also subsides. Perhaps the poisonous substance is being decomposed by his body. His enhanced cellular vitality and immunization strength saved him, at the same time prevented the substance from totally unlocking the constraint. Zheng can almost imagine that if he kept this combat instinct, the Alien's won't be unbeatable.

Lan sees that Zheng haven't replied, she didn't continue with the topic, instead she laughs. "See what rewards you get for killing an Alien. Hehe. There can't be no reward for it."

Zheng has recovered a lot by now. After hearing her words, he immediately looks at his watch. It says Aliens killed 1, and next to it is 500 points. Perhaps the reward was announced during his combat, but at the time his mind was filled with killing and didn't notice the announcement.

He suppresses his happiness and said. "Awarded 500 points. That's great, this is half the reward from surviving a movie."

Lan is smiling also, as if she earned the reward herself. She says happily. "500 points for one, maybe you can kill a few more then you will get a few thousand points in just this movie… hehe, since you said I saved your life, then should you exchange some gifts for me when we go back?"

Zheng looks at her red lips and replies without thinking. "Then I will give you the perfect lipstick, that color is so beautiful."

Lan immediately blushes. Then Zheng realizes the ambiguity of his tone. He coughs and continue. "We should leave this place as soon as possible. The smell of the Alien's blood is too strong. I don't know if there's another one. I've also recovered a lot. So we will continue forward like you said."

Lan nods but her face is still slightly blushed. She says in a low voice with her head down. "Are you… alright? You your leg and body bled a lot."

In fact, Zheng already noticed his wounds. The strange thing is after bleeding for a while, his muscles and skin quickly closed up. The speed of healing is simply amazing. It seems like the genetics of vampire are working.

He stretches his arms and legs. "No problem. I have recovered a lot of energy. And there is a sense of danger approaching. So let's hurry up and move on."

Lan takes his warnings seriously this time. They continue on the path in hurry, after a few intersections, they come to a large door. Lan is about to go, but Zheng pulls her back. "I'll walk in the front. Your reaction speed is honestly horrible. It's better to let me take the lead."

By the time Lan nods her head in silence, Zheng is already inside. The room is very quiet. It's a kitchen filled with all kinds of packaged food. They look at each other and can see the delight in their eyes.

Suddenly, the communication device on the wall starts ringing. They almost fell to the ground from the scare. Zheng reacted immediately, he runs to the device and presses the button blinking in green light.

Xuan's voice comes from the other side. "We found a Alien corpse outside room 22, did you kill it? Did you find the arsenal?"

Zheng sighs. "I'll tell you the details face to face. Where are you guys? And how do you know we are here?"

"Every important room has a number. We are in room 27, the control room. This room has access to the security system. If you don't enter a room, we won't be able to reach you. And you are probably in the kitchen right? If you can, take as much water and food without slowing you down. Then follow the numbers on the doors to room 27."

"What I am going to say next is concerns your lives. Long story short, there are three Aliens following you, about the distance of ten rooms. According to their speed, they will reach you in two and a half minutes. I don't know the reason but they have been following you all along."

Scent, it's the scent of Alien blood on Zheng's body. Zheng and Lan immediately realize it.

Xuan continues. "I will give you two minutes, run straight then on the intersections go straight, straight, straight, left, straight, left, straight, left! This is the path to reach the control room. Remember it! You have one minute to collect food, and must reach the control room in two minutes. At two minutes forty five seconds I will put down the walls outside the control room to isolate it. If you can't reach the wall within the time frame… then I'm sorry I have to give up on you. We have five people here after all."

"The timer… starts!"

Zheng takes a deep breath, he focuses his Qi on his ring and starts to sweep the food in this room. Especially the cases of water. A 1.5 cubic meter space can fit a lot of stuff, especially when these food and water are already packaged in boxes. After thirty seconds, he picks up Lan then sprint out of the room.

Zheng shouts. "I'm going to run as fast as I can, I won't have time to think. So tell me when to make the turn! Ok?"

Lan nods, her eyes focus at the front. "Keep going, keep going, the first intersection go straight, the second one is the same, the third one same, this time make a left…"

Zheng is running like a madman. His speed has almost reached his limit. That feeling of the air becoming dense is back again. Even then he can still feel the danger approaching from behind. And it's getting closer and closer. Compared to the smaller size Alien he killed earlier, the fully matured Aliens are faster, even faster than Zheng!

"Left! Left this time."

Zheng kicks at the wall and shoots into the left hall. As he was making the turn, he could see the shadow behind him. He can't even think anymore, all that's left in his head is keep running straight as fast as he can! Death! Is following right behind him!

He can see it, a steel wall that is slowly coming down. Zheng can cross several meters with every step he takes, but after a few steps, he feels a pain in his back. The nearest Alien is just one meter behind him. It shot its tongue at him and just barely reached his back. That's why he felt the pain.

No! I don't want to die! I have to live no matter what!

Zheng shouted like a mad man. He suddenly turns around and jumps up. The Alien is really much faster than him, the moment he jumps up, the Alien closes their distance even more, and it retracts its tongue. The next time it shoots its tongue, is when Zheng's head gets crushed.

As Zheng jumps up, he kicks at the Alien with both feet. He had spent most of his Qi during the running. He focuses the remaining Qi on his feet. Then he uses the speed the Alien is running at and the power of this kick to shoot himself at the half closed wall. He finally makes it in at the last split second. While the Aliens run into the door with a bang! That impact causes the whole room to tremble. Zheng lies on the ground like a dead fish. He really can't even move a finger this time.

Live… no matter what I must live!

Vol 2: Chapter 3-1.

(Going back to past tense)

Zheng and Lan lay on the floor. They were still holding onto each other. Their minds were still filled from the overloaded anxiety and fear. It wasn't until they heard footsteps from the other side before they regained some consciousness.

Of course Zheng wouldn't think its cool to lay on the floor like this, but he was totally exhausted. In fact he was terrified ever since he came into this room, afraid that the pain would come again. Fortunately, he was only exhausted this time and didn't unlock the genetic constraint. So it seemed like the constraint isn't something you can unlock so easily.

Xuan crouched next to Zheng and asked. "How's it? Any injuries? How long will it take to recover?"

Zheng replied with a weak voice. "Probably just exhausted, no injuries. If I can rest well… it should take about half an hour."

Xuan looked delighted, people as calm as him don't usually express such emotion unless it is something really worthwhile. He stood up and said. "Too bad you didn't get any food and water, otherwise my plan will work. Now we need to think of another plan, but it doesn't matter that much, we have initiative now, we aren't preys without any means to protect ourselves, we can at least put up a fight."

Then Jie carried Zheng on his back. Lan didn't use much energy during the run, she was just terrified. She stood up after a bit of resting and followed behind everyone.

"This is the control room of the spacecraft. Even though it looks complicated, it's actually similar to the control system of rocket launcher stations. So it's easy to get a hang of it."

The seven of them sat in room 27. Xuan explained to them the usage of the controls and buttons. Though he only gave them a rough explanation, no one else in this room can understand what he said. Of course they can still follow some simple orders and press some buttons.

Zheng thought silently, this complicated system is probably easy for you. Though he wouldn't really say this out loud. In fact he was very thankful that there were geniuses like Xuan in the newbies. This kind of people are the most important for a team.

After Jie put him down, he suddenly said. "Actually I brought a lot of food and water. If we limit our portions, it should last us quite a few days."

Xuan and the others looked in confusion. Though Jie said with excitement. "Is it the Na ring? There's a lot of food and water in the ring right?"

Zheng nodded with a smile. Xuan immediately inquired about the Na ring and when he learned that it's a item created by Xiuzhen and costed a fortune to exchange it from God, he got excited. He took Zheng's hand and studied the ring. "Is it really item from Xiuzhen? Is it really item from Xiuzhen? God, I have guessed this type of items existed from historic documents. Haha so they all originate from this dimension! If I can crack the secret of this technology, I can't imagine how much humans can advance."

Xuan ignored the weird looks from everyone, he continued with a zealless expression. "Do you know? We actually unearthed some items that can't be explained with our technology from other countries. They no longer have energy in them, we couldn't activate them with electricity or other kinds of energy. From analyzing the materials, we deduced that there once existed an advanced civilization. But the years that this civilization appeared are strange. These items range from over ten thousand years ago to a thousand year ago. There's such an advanced civilization hidden within our society and we never realized it, do you think this is possible?"

"So the researchers are separated into two parties. One party believes the items were created by Aliens that hid in our civilization. I quite dislike this kind of analysis, attributing every unexplainable phenomenon to Aliens. This attitude towards research is very unlikable. The other party thinks these items are created by the mythical Xians or Gods. Even though this is equally hard to believe, at least people from this party still look for clues through ruins. Moreover they actually found some indirect evidences."

Xuan stood up and looked at everyone. "Do you know what this means? It means the advancement of humans are not limited to technology, even though this kind of technology is also natural science, but they have broken the limit of external (physical) science. This is the most advanced internal science!"

Zero suddenly said in a cold tone. "External science and internal science, do these have anything to do with our current situation? I'd rather have the food and water from that ring."

Xuan said in a low voice resignedly. "Forget it, you won't understand it. Anyway, cracking the secret of Xiuzhen will be the next biggest step for humans after genetic constraints!"

Zheng and Jie looked at each other with a bitter smile. Even though Xuan was usually calm and rational, he was still just a researcher. Once he encounters a field he's interested in, he will be more fanatical than anyone. Just like he wouldn't let go of Zheng's hand right now.

Zheng said. "Since we have enough food and water, what's your plan? Even if you want to research Xiuzhen, you will need enough points to exchange. That would take tens of thousands of points and we have to survive to earn those points."

Xuan finally calms down. He let go of Zheng's hand and sat down on a chair. "Since we have enough food and water, then I have two plans. One, we monitor the halls, record the locations where Aliens appear, then when they are separated we put down the isolating steel walls to trap them one by one. Then we can find a safe path to the arsenal in room 17. This path should be safe once all the Aliens are trapped. After we get our weapons, we can rely on Zheng to eliminate them one by one. This is the only way we can fight."

Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He really didn't want to get into close combat with those monsters again. He immediately asked. "What's the other one? You have two plans right?"

Xuan sighed. "The other plan… There is a hibernation room, humans can sleep there with minimal energy expenditure. We can eat enough then go to sleep in there. The return route has already been set in the spacecraft's computer. We will return with the Aliens."

Jie asked in confusion. "Return? Return to where?"

"Earth! Bring the Aliens to the Earth of this dimension! Let the Earth's governments fight the Aliens with their army! Then we can survive without risks… of course, there's another possibility. The humans in this dimension get wiped out by Aliens then we will face millions or even countless number of Aliens. This way, we can live for a few more years then die."

Vol 2: Chapter 3-2.

Zheng looked around at everyone. "I don't know what you're all thinking, but to bring the Aliens to Earth? Even if I don't belong to this world, even if I can live for a few more years, I can't allow myself to do this. I can't…"

Then he hesitated, he was going to say he will continue fighting even if he is the only one left, but he couldn't say that last line. He was still afraid of dying deep within him.

Xuan nodded. "You probably think the second plan is crazy. Though if the conditions are there, I believe the second plan is more dependable. But there are two flaws in this plan, if we can't fix the flaws, then there is a possibility of failure. First, since the plot has already changed, we can't guarantee that the government won't destroy this spacecraft before we reach Earth. Do you think they don't have such weapons with their technology?"

"Second, I worry if the isolating steel walls can actually trap the Aliens. Since their blood is highly corrosive. In Alien Resurrection, they used their blood to escape from the cage(?). If they use the same tactics here, then I think the next time we wake up, we will see them jumping at our faces."

Zero said coldly. "Then why do you suggest the plan if there are so many flaws?"

Xuan waved his hand. "Even with the flaws, it's still the safer plan. You should know that once we choose the first plan, we will have to fight the Aliens head on. The walls won't save us if we fail. And failing means everyone will die. Plus we have to take such risk multiple times. Do you have to confidence to survive these trials?"

Kampa said. "Isn't there an old Chinese saying, live as a hero, die as a …ghost hero. Something like this. I don't want to give in my fate to uncertainty. What if we can't wake up again? In comparison, I'd rather get a hold of my own future. Even if I am to die, I will die fighting, and not live on a gamble of fate."

He got more emotional as he spoke. The last line even came out in Russian. Xuan had to translate it for him.

Jie nodded immediately. "I also think we should choose the one that we have control of. Even though it's dangerous, but we will have control over the situation, and not depend on luck to survive."

The others nodded silently. Xuan sighed. "Fine then. We will vote. I think that will be the most fair."

The results were unexpected, even though the first choice won, but only four people voted it, Zero, Kampa, Zheng, and Jie. Aside from Xuan and Shuai choosing the second plan, even Lan chose it.

Xuan exhaled. "Since we've decided to fight, then I will respect your decision. Let's face the Aliens together. First of all, please have Zheng take out the food and water. I think everyone is hungry by now right?"

Zheng laughed then focused his Qi. He had recovered some Qi from the resting, though it's not enough for a fight.

A few seconds later, there was a boxes of biscuits, bread, cheese, dried meat and water. After taking all the food out, Xuan was the first one to crouch beside it. He opened some boxes then counted the number of bottled water. "There is an adequate amount of food, if we limit our portions, it can last seven people about a week. But I suggest we split this into portions for three days. Then we can stay full and have the energy to fight."

Lan had been avoiding Zheng since she chose the second plan. At the moment, she habitually wanted to touch her forehead, yet there was a hole on her shoulder. She didn't realize it during the running due to nervousness but it's painful as she calmed down. She touched her forehead with the other hand and said. "Why not split the food to seven days? If we can wait for the Aliens to get trapped and isolated, then we can clear a safe path to the kitchen. By that time we might not even have to fight them and just starve them."

The others also looked at Xuan with confusion. He smiled bitterly. "I also thought about this hypothesis, but a few reasons made me abandon a dragged out fight. First, we don't know the biological structure of Aliens, what if they are similar to some desert creatures in Earth and can hibernate days without food and water? Then we can't compete with them by lasting longer. It may even be that once we finish all the food and water, we will be the ones that are trapped."

"Second, how many people do we have here? Seven, yes, I remembered when we first woke up, we had fifteen people. Then where did the other eight go? To be more accurate, where did the flesh of the other eight go? Then add in the bodies of the movie characters, this is enough for the Aliens to maintain low level activities."

"Third, this is the most important one, I don't want to put the Aliens into desperation. If we actually trapped them, and got to the kitchen. Then when they are extremely hungry, can you be certain that they won't use their blood to corrode the wall and come to eat us? Therefore I'd rather get well rested and fight the Aliens within a shorter period of time. This is the best strategy I can come up."

Zheng exhaled. "If we can survive this movie… then you will get the most credits. What else do you have in mind? Just say it all out. Since we are comrades, we will trust you with everything."

Everyone else nodded silently and looked towards Xuan. Even though they didn't want to admit it, but his wisdom surpassed everyone. They knew his importance in a situation like this.

Xuan smiled. "To be honest, I heard Jie said that there will be new people in every movie and the qualities of these people are not guaranteed. The power of a single person is limited in many horror movies. If we can survive through this one, and enter more dangerous movies, I hope my team can at least have the courage and strength to live on. Then I will contribute my brain, otherwise everything will be meaningless. In the seven of us, at least six people are elites. I am very satisfied with this team, I hope we can all survive… at least the six of us can survive."

Shuai's face got red. He was just a normal young man and had no speciality. Of course he recognized Xuan was talking about him. Then Zheng patted on his shoulder. "Rest assured, as long as you can survive, you can train yourself to become stronger. Don't give up on hope."

Shuai looked at him thankfully. Then Xuan continued. "So, my isolating plan is… bait! Open up a section of the walls, then lure the Alien into our plan. This bait will be Li Shuaixi!"

Everyone looked toward Shuai in shock. This young man had a common face, average physical abilities, no specialty, simply put a good for nothing normal young man. If Xuan didn't mention him, no one would had thought about him deliberately. He was just like air.

Shuai's mind went blank for a moment, then he suddenly yelled. "Why me? Why should it be me? There are so many people here. Everyone wants to survive through this movie, so why do I have to die? You just want to kill me. If there's one less person sharing the food, you can live for a little longer. That's why you want to kill me right?"

Xuan looked at him in silence. "No, I don't have the intention to kill you. Even though the risk for being the bait is high, but you are the most suitable choice. Everyone else here is stronger than you. Jie, Lan, and Zheng are veterans. I can plan our next moves. Zero's close combat and sniping skills are exceptional. Kampa is skilled at various guns, which may include those in the arsenal. Tell me, of what use can you be to us?"

Shuai lowered his head in silence. His face got redder and redder and veins surfacing on his hand. Xuan continued in a calm voice. "If it's under normal circumstance, everyone has something they're talent at. I won't judge anyone with numbers and abilities. I won't be a utilitarian person like now. But you have to understand our current situation. We are fighting against death, any mistake can cause everyone to die here. You are the unnecessary one here, if you want our group to accept and treat you equally, you have to show us your worth. Otherwise what difference are you from the seven that died outside?"

Zheng finally couldn't stand it and yelled. "No, I don't agree with your words. I was a normal person when I first got here. I got my current abilities through enhancements, so why is he unnecessary? If you give him the chance to live through a few more movies, he will become a dependable comrade!"

Xuan remained his calmness. "But… does he have that chance? To be accurate, do we have the chance to survive this movie? Even given the same amount of points to enhance, the six of us will still be much stronger than him. Also, don't try to take his place. Everyone has their own responsibilities. You are our biggest reliance in this movie. Or you want to save one person and let the rest of us die?"

Zheng felt very angry. He was extremely scared of dying himself. Especially since he now had someone to take care of, he must live on no matter what. At the same time, he understood that feeling of going against death face to face. Even with his physical abilities he was still on the brink of death. Then is there even a slightest bit of hope for a normal person like Shuai?

Jie gave him a hug as Zheng got more emotional. "Let's do it the old way. We will vote, that would be the fairest. Zheng! Don't be emotional. Even if you don't consider about our lives what about Lori? Once we die, our created humans will also disappear! What do you want to do?"

Zheng's body trembled. He finally lowered his head and sat down in resignation. Xuan sighed. "Then we will start the vote. Those that accept my plan raise your hand."

The result was five votes for and two against. That decided Shuai's fate. Either conform with the plan to be a bait to gain the group's acceptance, or leave the group without any food or water, and he also won't get any protection.

Shuai looked extremely emotional. Zero and Kampa stood next to Xuan silently. When everyone was thought he was going to burst, he took a few deep breaths and calmed down. He looked at Xuan with hatred and said. "Ok, I will be the bait. Just like you all wish for, I will be the bait!"

They felt a shiver from the hatred in his eyes. Though Zheng didn't see it. He kept his head down the whole time. After the voting, Zheng walked over to a corner and sat there in silence.

Lan walked over to Zheng after a while. She didn't really know what to say. On the contrary, he spoke first. "Lan, are you also afraid of dying?"

"Uhm… Yes, I am afraid of dying."

"I am also afraid of dying, everyone is afraid. No one is really safe in this place, so why do we have to push the dangers over to someone else? The rest of us will only be safe for a little longer. Whoever can best accomplish this mission should go instead…"

Lan interrupted him with a serious face. "I think Xuan is right. If this is under normal circumstances, then you are correct. But we are not facing normal circumstances. We are going against death… How can we afford to protect a useless person without anything in return?"

Zheng remained silent again. He muttered after a while. "… I can't refute. Yes, perhaps you and Xuan are right. But I still wish everyone can bond together. Everyone can do our best to survive, and not the strong oppresses the weak. If we encountered the same situation in our first movie, how will we feel? Won't we hate everyone and this world?"

Lan sighed and didn't speak again. She sat next to Zheng silently. A few minutes later, they heard a cry. They looked at each other then ran to where the group was at.

When the two arrived, everyone was focused on the monitor. There were four people walking as they were shivering. It was the two middle age men and the young man and woman. After the four walked past, they saw a stage three Alien following behind.

Zheng asked immediately. "What happened? Why didn't the Alien attack them?"

Xuan was pondering and didn't answer. Though Lan touched her forehead and said. "Is it because of… breeding?"

The only Alien species with reproductive ability was the queen. In order to let the larvae grow, they would need hosts. That's probably why the Alien didn't kill these four people on the monitor.

Xuan nodded. "Yes. It must be for breeding. We have to execute our plan as soon as possible. Otherwise, in a few days… we will have to face against nine Aliens!"

Vol 2: Chapter 4-1.

The Na ring contained an abundant amount of food and water, bread, cheese, jerky, and some snacks, rich in both quality and quantity. There was also enough water to last them several days. But just to be safe, they split the food and water into seven portions. Everyone received enough to last about three days.

Xuan put Shuai's portion on the table. "This is your portion. As long as you proved you are useful to this group and not our burden. Then these food and water belong to you. Furthermore you will also become a member of our group."

Shuai took the food and water silently and with his head down. Then he moved to the side and started eating by himself.

The others also ignored him and started eating their own food. After half a day of running and fear, they were hungry and thirsty. Finally that they obtained some food and water, which were also in a good amount, they started rushing through the meal.

Since Lan couldn't move one of her hand, Zheng opened the packages for her and pour her a cup of water. These little actions kept her smiling non stop. She also sat next to him as she ate.

Xuan suddenly asked. "Right, since we have time, tell me how did you kill that Alien? I'm rather curious."

Even though the others were still eating, but holding a conversation during a meal is a norm for the Chinese. Zheng took a drink then said. "Don't make it sound like I'm strong. It was so dangerous, we almost died back there. If I wasn't lucky enough to cut off its tongue in the start, we would had probably died."

Xuan thought for a moment then asked Zero. "Using a desert eagle, how close do you need to hit an Alien's tongue. I mean while they were moving at a very fast speed."

Zero replied without raising his head. "30% accuracy within 150 meters, 40% within 100 meters, 50% within 50 meters. This is the limit, I can't raise my accuracy anymore by going closer."

Zheng smiled bitterly, 50% was just half and half. The Alien's tongue was strong enough to break through metals. It was especially powerful when being shot from the Alien's mouth. A human's head would be as fragile as a watermelon. In other words, once Zero missed, it's tongue could kill everyone near it.

Zheng continued. "I was lucky back then and cut it off by surprise. I was only able to hit it because it's tongue was left inside Lan's shoulder. If it's face to face, we won't even be able to react when it shoots it's tongue out."

Xuan nodded. "The speed at which Aliens shoot their tongue is frightening, it's almost as fast as bullets. You also have to consider their mass and weight. A normal steel plate might not be able to block it. Anyway we will first continue with our plan. Then clear a path to the arsenal. Perhaps we can find some suitable weapons there."

Zheng sighed. "How are you planning to isolate the Aliens? Just send someone out to bait them?"

Xuan pressed some buttons on the control panel while eating. After a moment, a map of the spacecraft appeared on the screen.

"We are in room 27. According to my deduction, and the way those four people and the Alien was going, the Queen should be at… Warehouse 1 or 2. The monitoring system around that place malfunctioned, probably corroded by the Alien's secretions. I remember in Alien Resurrection, the Queen will secrete a substance similar to spider silk when it's laying eggs. This substance is also highly acidic, though not as strong as their blood."

"That's why the isolating walls, monitoring system, and even the lights malfunctioned around that area. We can only control the isolating walls from room 16 and beyond. I've already noted them in the map. The green area is under our control."

Everyone looked carefully at the screen. The green area occupied most of the spacecraft, the red area went from room 1 to 15.

Xuan sighed. "Maybe you are feeling lucky that the Aliens' corrosion only got up to room 15 whereas the arsenal is room 17. But I have to tell you a bad news. Rooms 16 and 17 are on the left and right sides of room 15 respectively. We can not put down the walls on the hall connecting room 15 and 17. If we are to get the weapons, the Aliens from room 15 can hunt us freely."

"That's also the reason for the bait plan. We need to lure the other four Aliens, aside from the Queen, to the halls beyond room 17 then isolate them. Then we can find a safe path to the arsenal. I said it before that I won't treat human lives so lightly. Even though this plan has a high risk, it directly affects whether we can survive this movie or not. We can not allow anything to go wrong with this plan."

Zheng stared at the red and green screen for a while, then he sighed. "What if only one or two Aliens come to us? Wouldn't the plan fail?"

Xuan smiled, but it was Lan who answered him. "Actually there's a way to lure the aliens over. Remember when we got chased by them? How did they know we were there? And that they didn't give up no matter what… it's smell."

Zheng clicked. "Right, smell. The Alien's blood has a very strong scent. Once the other Aliens smell this scent, they would rush over. You mean we will lure them with this scent?"

Xuan nodded. "We still have six grenades. If we bind them together three at a time, it will be powerful enough to damage a stage three Alien. Once one of them is injured, the others will come. And once they step into the hall beyond room 17, we will put down the wall. Shuai can also use the blast from the explosion as a cover to run away. This is the whole plan."

Even though it's dangerous, it's not a hopeless situation. Zheng finally felt relieved. Yet a hint of hideous emotion filled the eyes of Shuai who had been sitting silently with his head down the whole time. He gripped his hands so tight that he didn't even realize his nails cut into his hands and blood dripped to the ground.

After everyone had eaten, Xuan turned on all the channels of the monitoring system. The big screen was split into many little sections. Xuan kept waving his hand in the air as if he was painting something. He stopped after quite a while, and his face turned pale. "Ok, I've memorized the order at which the walls will come down. The Alien nearest to us is in room 22, there's also another one going at the direction from room 20 to 19. If we attract it's attention within five minutes, then we can isolate one of them while baiting the other one over. Then we will execute the plan."

Zheng looked at Shuai and sighed. "What should we do?"

Xuan pressed some buttons on the control panel, then stood up. "One minute later, the wall outside this room will open up. I've already scheduled the order the rest of the walls will come down. Let's go. We will go out now and explain to you guys the details."

Kampa binded the six grenades together to two sets of three. The wall slowly lifted. They could see the dents, craters, claw marks, and scratches on the walls and floor. Those walls were made of steel! The scene terrified them.

Xuan took the grenades, then pointed at the hall. "You will stand on the other side of this hall. From there you can see up to 100 meters in a straight line. Once the Alien comes from the other side, you will activate the grenade and throw it. I had Kampa modified the grenades to reduce their delay before detonating. It should detonate mid air so you must run immediately after you throw it. Remember you have to turn left at every intersection."

Shuai said with his head down. "Then what about this isolating wall leading to the control room? Will it come down after I go outside?"

Xuan nodded. "Yes, this wall will come down after you go out. I will open it again one minute after I hear the explosion. According to your running speed, there is enough time for you. Oh right, in order to attract the Alien, you will need some fresh blood. In short, your mission is to just run along the left."

Then Kampa threw a dagger over to Shuai. Xuan also handed him the grenades. As Shuai took the grenade, everyone's heart tensed. Zheng even saw Zero move his hand to his back, he was holding on the desert eagle. Zheng wasn't aware that Jie gave Zero the gun.

To everyone's surprise, Shuai turned around calmly. As they let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly turned around again and threw a grenade over them. Just like Xuan said, the grenade detonated mid air. Luckily Shuai threw it too far due to nervousness. They were only slightly impacted by the shockwave and there were no serious injuries."

Zheng stood at the back of the group because he couldn't look Shuai in the eyes. But when the grenade exploded, he got affected the most. The shockwave blew him away. His mouth and nose were filled with blood as he hit the ground. For a while he couldn't see anything. A few seconds later, he barely recovered his sight. Then he saw Shuai holding the other grenade on his hand, his face filled with a hideous expression.

Shuai laughed. "How's it, genius, aren't you wanting to kill me? Aren't all of you rejecting me just for that little bit of food and water? Just so you can hide together? F*ck. Why do I have to be the only one to die? Why? Tell me! I'm going all out, if I am to die, then we will die together. It's still better than dying in the mouth of those Aliens!"

Xuan got knocked to the ground by the shockwave. His head hit the wall and blood streaming down his head. He stood up and asked calmly. "I'm curious. Aren't you afraid of dying? You should know that although my plan is dangerous, but you won't die 100%. If you followed my plan, you have a high chance of surviving. So tell me, why would you…"

Shuai interrupted him. "Shit, stop trying to fool me. You know why I asked that last question? What would have happen to this wall after I left? And how did you answer me? It would open a minute after you hear the explosion? Don't f*cking fool me. Do you remember what I am good at? Even though I am not a genius, but I really did read a lot of books. Including some militaristic themed books. The isolating walls in spacecrafts like this one usually can't be activated again within half an hour of putting them down. This is designed to prevent people from taking control of the spacecraft through the computer. I specifically looked at your inputs on the control panel. You only scheduled the commands to close them. There was no command to open it again!"

He started laughing like a madman. "That last question was my final struggle. F*ck, who wouldn't want to live? If there's even a slightest bit of hope, I would still wish to live. But you faggot wants to put me in the mouth of those Aliens! F*ck. Say something! Why do you have to put me in a hopeless situation?"

Xuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I underestimated you. That's my mistake. I have said it before, we don't need anyone unnecessary in this group. You're just a burden. I didn't intent to give you up originally, but you were not satisfied with my plan. That's the way humans work, just a little bit of dissatisfaction will easily grow into hideous intentions. So instead of having an unpredictable factor in our future plans, it's better to give you up. I didn't intent to sacrifice you either. Even though the wall needs to wait half an hour to open up again, but if you kept running I will trap you in a hall without any Aliens. Then let you out after half an hour. You shouldn't had shown that hideous expression on your face."

Shuai looked even crazier. He yelled with a twisted face. "F*ck. Why can't I look hideous when you force me to die? Are you the leader of this group? Who do you think you are? If I can't live then you shouldn't live either. Come die with me!"

As he finished, he pulled the ring on the grenade.

When Shuai first walked away with his head down, he was several meters away from the group. After he threw the grenade he ran another several meters. By this time he was over ten meters away. They could only watched as he pulled the ring. Even Zero couldn't do anything with his gun as he was knocked to the ground by the shock wave.

"All of you go to hell! I…"

He pulled the ring while laughing crazily. Just as he was going to throw the grenade at them, it suddenly exploded. It only took a second from the time he pulled the ring till the grenade exploded. He didn't even have time to throw it. The fire and shock wave quickly reached the group.

"No!"

Zheng watched in daze as the fire closed up on him. Thankfully Lan brought him down to the ground. He just watched as the fire flew past him. For a moment, he could still smell the scent of burnt flesh.

No! How can life be so fragile? Why is life so fragile!

Zheng suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran toward the smoke. Going inside the smoke, he found Shuai lying on the ground. His whole body burned black. His hands and chest were gone. Other than pieces of flesh on the ground, there was black colored blood that gushed out from his chest. So human blood wasn't always red, after going through an explosion, it… can become burned black.

"Why? Why did the grenade explode immediately after pulling the ring?"

Zheng came out from the smoke. He walked over to Xuan silently and asked.

Xuan was the one nearest to the center of explosion this time. Blood gushed out from his nose and mouth. He wiped the blood and said. "Yes, the grenades I had Kampa modify, one of them explodes after a few seconds, the other one will explode immediately. When I handed him the grenades, I put the one that will explode later on the outside, so he could only use that one first…"

Zheng punched him on the face and knocked him away. Zero immediately pointed his gun at Zheng and Kampa stood in between Zheng and Xuan.

Xuan slowly sat up from the ground. He spat out a tooth and said calmly. "This is the true intention of the bait plan. Do you really think just a little blood can lure the Aliens? No, even though their sense of smell is sensitive, but during the period that the Queen is laying eggs, they will guard their nest. You saw from the monitor before that they were moving toward the nest. Therefore it needs a large amount of fresh flesh and blood, in addition to the scent of Alien blood on your skin to lure them over. If I am not mistaken, the Aliens should be coming this way currently. If you want to die, you can continue to stay outside the wall." Then he silently walked back to the control room.

Zheng felt more enraged after hearing his words, but he could only yell under the threat of Zero's gun. "Then he was right? You intended to give up on him from the beginning? Why are you two helping him? You won't even know when he will give you up! How can you call this comrades?"

Xuan turned around and said in a cold voice. "I didn't intend to give him up in the beginning. I originally planned that everyone can contribute some blood, then he and you only have to… Whatever, I don't have to explain these to you. You just have to understand that everything I do is for the sake of everyone in this group to survive this movie. I am certainly not wrong!"

Zheng's voice sounded cold also. "Giving up on comrades, letting him get killed by explosions, then use his flesh and blood to lure the Aliens. And this is not wrong? Then what do you think is right! Is this how the two of you think also? Is life really so worthless?"

Xuan replied as he walked without turning his around. "I gave him a last chance. If he didn't try to use the second grenade on us and followed my plan. As long as he could injure one Alien the others are very likely to come over. He could also hide in between two walls. Unfortunately, a mortal's wisdom… only filled with resentment."

Zero kept silent the whole time, he walked backward while pointing the gun at Zheng. After ten meters, he turned around and went away. Kampa said to him in a serious tone. "We value unity in the mercenary's creed. During battle, you put your back to your comrades. This is the basic trust and rule. But in order to achieve these two points, the other party must be someone you acknowledged and not a burden. I think Zero is thinking the same thing. We live in a different environment than you normal people. We are more suited to survive in this dimension. To me, these movies are just mercenary missions. Xuan did the right him. He chose to have the majority of us live and successfully completed the mission. Shuai didn't make me feel that I could trust my back to him. He also failed the last trial and chose self destruction."

Zheng stood there in a daze until the wall was slowly coming down. Jie and Lan then pulled him back in. He raised his head and asked. "Does it really have to be this cruel? To give up on other people so you can live? Or just a little resentment and you want everyone to die together? Then what are we? Chest pieces that he used and threw away?"

Jie said. "I don't give a f*ck what they think. I don't feel safe being with these three. I thought Xuan was smart and maybe could think of a way to save us. But it seems smart people are all devious. No, I feel less safe being with them! Zheng, I will go get my gun back, even if I can't get it back, we will go our own way after they trapped the Aliens! Otherwise we won't even know if they used us."

Lan sighed. "But… do we really have to go by ourselves? It would be better if we just endure it through this movie and get stay away from them on the next one."

Zheng looked at Lan silently then said. "No, we will go our own way! I don't want to see them again… If you can't trust your comrades, then how can they trust you! I won't give up on anyone on my side. I can save my comrade's life, in return when I am in danger he will definitely save me! So I won't fight along them again!"

In the monitors, the two Aliens quickly moved toward this side just as Xuan predicted. The Alien that was following the other four newbies also came. In this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the screen.

Even though they had decided to go their own ways, whether or not all the Aliens getting isolated was related to their rate of survival. So even Zheng was staring at the monitor intensely.

"Just missing the last one… where is the last one? The last one…"

Xuan muttered to himself, then his face turned paler and paler, sweat coming out of his forehead. Lan suddenly said. "There are only seven characters in the original plot. One robot and six humans. When you calculated the Aliens did you include the main character? This is only the first movie…"

Xuan immediately realized it. He hurriedly pressed some buttons, several walls came down on the screen blocking the Aliens' movements. They were forced to run at another direction. The Aliens were gradually forced to move into a far off corner then trapped inside the walls. They could see the path to the arsenal was cleared.

The six of them exhaled deeply. Zheng asked Lan. "What did you just say? Isn't there another Alien missing? Why did he put down the walls when you mentioned the first movie?"

Lan laughed. "Because of the main character. Think about it, didn't the main character survived the first movie? If she was killed then what would happen to the second, third, or fourth movie? Will they cease to exist? So It's possible that we are only facing against five Aliens. One Queen, one killed by you, and three got trapped. Then there is no fourth one."

Zheng thought for a moment. "But what if the main characters of every movie are recreated? Then wouldn't there be another Alien behind room 15?"

Xuan's voice came from the side. "This is a question of probability. Under any circumstances, I will always choose the one with the highest possibility. As long as it's higher than 50%, it's worth a try."

Zheng sneered at him. "Even if it means to risk your life? Are you ok with getting sneak attacked by a hiding Alien?'

Xuan replied calmly. "Yes, even if it's my life. I will always choose the choice with the highest possibility. You mentioned my life just now, so are you planning to split up with me?"

Zheng nodded. "Right. I can't stand being with you! Maybe when I get injured you will give me up like a burden. Instead of this I would rather depend on my own power! I can't trust you, just like Kampa said, I can't trust my back to you!"

"Is that so?" Xuan turned around. "That's unfortunate. I said I will only give up those that are useless to the team. Just like a question of probability. He was an individual of low probability (useless) and he failed my test. I had done all I can do for him. But I will do my best to save comrades that I acknowledge. Think of ways that the majority can survive."

Zheng said. "What if I am trapped in a hopeless situation. The probability of saving me is low but there is still a chance. What will you do?"

"Depends on the situation. If your life is very important, then I will save you no matter what the cost is. If saving you puts the whole team in a dangerous position, then I would rather give you up."

"Is that so?"

Zheng remained silent for quite a while, then said coldly. "Yes. I Understand your methods are probably right to you. But these methods give me shrivers. We can't stay together. And don't f*cking use your own safety as the team's safety. Don't you think it's dirty to fool us? You kept saying the team, but what if the team needs to sacrifice you? You will probably think of every possible way to have someone substitute you."

Xuan smiled. "If it's you, what will you do?"

Zheng was gathering all the chairs in this room, he replied without turning around. "I agree with what you said in the beginning. Every member should be able to contribute to the team. Just like I won't go protect those three hooligans. So I will choose my comrades carefully, but once I acknowledged them, I will never give up on them. This is the only way to keep the trust within the team. People like you who use people as tools, even if we survive, you are the only one that can feel completely safe. So I won't stay with you."

Neither of them said anything more. Half an hour later, Xuan, Zero, and Kampa left the room first. Jie and Lan watched as Zheng started destroying those chairs.

Jie held onto him. "Stop being mad, it's not worth getting mad for those people."

Zheng laughed bitterly. "I am not mad. I am just preparing weapons. You're right it's not worth it. So I have my method of combat."

Jie and Lan looked at each other. After destroying the chair, Zheng took the metal bars out from those chairs. Then he twisted the bars until they became a helix shape.

"Know why I want to stay away from them?" Zheng suddenly said to the two with a smile. "Because I have a bad feeling. I feel there's definitely something hiding beyond room 15, waiting for us to get close. But I won't tell them. Let them lure that thing out. If they believe having power makes you stand above the others, then as the weak side they should be prepared to be the ones that are given up."

"I was a manager in my company, so I know how important it is for a team to work together. And no one is absolutely useless. Do you know why I kept comforting Shuai? Because I want to get him into our group, to acknowledge our group. To the point that when he really got to a situation where he had to sacrifice himself to save the group, he will do it for the people he trusts."

After finishing his words, Zheng threw the helix shaped steel bar. The whole bar penetrated into the wall and left only a finger length of the tail outside. This power shocked Jie and Lan.

Zheng pulled the bar out from the wall. Then continued. "I know his methods are perhaps right… but if you trust me, then let's face these horrors together. He has his ways… and I have my way of fighting! No matter what, we will all live!"

With that said he threw the bar again and another hole appeared on the wall.

This was the first time Jie saw Zheng threw the steel bar. His mind went blank for a moment then he started patting on Zheng's shoulder and laughed. "Damn dude when did you get this kind of power? Were you hiding it from me the whole time during training?"

Zheng smiled bitterly, he pulled out the bar from the wall. "No, I just discovered it not long ago. And I can't last long. Every time I throw, it will spend some Qi. According to the amount of Qi I have and its recovery rate, I can only throw five bars at a time then I have to rest for five minutes."

"Five bars huh?" Jie scratched his head. "Five is still good. I don't believe the Aliens' exoskeleton is tougher than this steel wall. Too bad we only found out about it now and didn't have the opportunity to practice your aim. Otherwise, the Aliens probably wouldn't be a problem for you."

Zheng smiled bitterly again. Those Aliens weren't as easy as Jie thought. Aside from their strength and speed, the most terrifying thing was that they would hide and wait for a sneak attack. He encountered them two times in this spacecraft. People only died from the sneak attack. Even though they could still kill anyone face to face but it was more terrifying when they were hidden.

"Actually the most terrifying thing about Aliens are their sneak attacks, last time Lan and me…" As Zheng was talking, he noticed Lan spacing out. He asked. "Lan, what are you thinking?"

"I am thinking why would Xuan bring them away. With his wisdom he can't possible not be wary of the danger beyond room 15, yet why is he willing to take the risk? Perhaps there is something more dangerous here?"

A thought struck Zheng's mind. He and Lan said it at the same time. "The Alien's blood!"

Jie looked at them in confusion. "What Alien blood? I don't get what you're talking about."

Zheng looked bitter as he said. "The Aliens that are trapped. I have also seen Alien Resurrection. The Alien that was isolated injured its own body then used its blood to help it escape. If we only trapped them, they wouldn't injure their body at once. But if we are moving toward room 15. These Aliens may do everything to escape, in order to protect their nest. At that time we will be the ones facing these Aliens because we are behind them! Such a ruthless person, did he planned it all out when he was setting up Shuai?"

Lan shook her head. "No one can have this kind of ability. He's also not familiar with our personality, how can he plan so far ahead. He probably came up with the plan on the spur of the moment. He saw that we decided to split up then used us as their shield."

Zheng calmed down then started searching for something on the screen. After a while, he said in a cold voice. "I will let him know we are not his pawns. Let's see who's the first to die!"

Room 22, bathroom.

Zheng and the other two hurried to this place. After they entered the room, he had Lan locked the door. Then he rushed to one of the individual shower room and said. "Hurry up and clean all the scents on your body. Then smear the food that I gave you on your body. Remember to cover it all up. Understand?"

Lan immediately ran into a shower. Jie also started to clean his body, after a while he heard Lan shouted. "Zheng… I can't move my arm to clean the blood. Come… help me."

Jie stopped what he was doing and put his ears to the wall. But before Zheng and Lan could do anything, they heard scratching sounds outside the door. That sound was so harsh it's like someone is scratching the floor with metal.

The three of them immediately stopped everything they were doing. They didn't even dare to move a bit. Zheng just walked into Lan's room and looked at her with embarrassment.

That sound stopped in front of the bathroom. The three of them felt their heart had stopped beating. The only sound in this room was the sound of running water. Other than that they didn't even dare to breath.

The stress coming from outside lasted how long, it felt like several seconds or maybe several minutes. By the time that sound went away they were almost at the point of suffocation. They immediately started to breath in air deeply.

The three didn't say anything. Jie stopped trying to eavesdrop on them and smeared his body with cheese. Zheng and Lan also smeared liquified food on their body. The whole thing only took one minute. You can see the potential of humans here.

Just then that scratching sound came back again. They held their breath. They weren't as nervous as the first time. And just like the first time, that sound stopped in front of the door then went away quickly.

A thought struck Zheng. He suddenly ran out of the shower room and picked out several steel bars. Jie and Lan put their head out of the shower and looked at him with confusion.

"The two Aliens reacted in the same way, I hope it will be the same this time…"

As Zheng said it in a low voice, another scratching sound started approaching them. There was a hint of nervousness from their breathing, especially since Jie and Lan didn't know what Zheng was planning to do. Though Lan could sort of guess.

The sound moved closer and closer to the bathroom. They were so nervous that they could almost hear their heartbeats. Zheng's finger had turned pale from gripping the bar too tight.

The sound indeed stopped in front of the door. Zheng could even hear scratching on the door.

He didn't hesitate and filled the steel bars with Qi. He threw three bars at quick successions. The bars penetrated the door and followed by screams from the outside.

P.S. There are a lot of character development for both the MC and other characters throughout due to the themes of this novel, survival and evolution. Just a reminder that everyone selected by God had at least once genuinely thought about dying, even if they didn't choose YES.
