So, after the Predator mothership and the sub-ship chased after the two unlucky bastards, would they still have the ability to turn back and catch up with the other four?
Everyone was well aware of the answer to this question. It was most likely impossible.
This was because the technological gap between the two sides was not that great. Furthermore, the distance from here to the Kitty Hawk base was only a 'mere' 2.7 million kilometres. In the vast universe, 2.7 million kilometres was indeed nothing. It was just like how a Porsche Cayenne would definitely be faster than a Jialing 125 motorbike. But if you wanted the Cayenne to drive a few kilometers in the opposite direction first, then catch up with the Jialing 125 motorcycle, and limit the chasing distance to only 10 kilometers, it was obvious that there would be times when the Cayenne would be powerless. After all, the Jialing 125 was not a horse-drawn carriage. Both sides were technological products of the same era.
Sheyan was well aware of this, but why did he propose to seize the Predator's spaceship at that time? That was because he gave the proposal because he regarded the whole party as his "own people".
What was the difference between Sheyan's proposal and the proposal of "digging up the Wasp detectors and returning to the base"?
The biggest difference was that Sheyan's proposal was the only proposal that could allow everyone to return safely after gathering everyone's strength. However, the drawback of this proposal was that it might also cause the whole party to be wiped out.
The second proposal was full of "everyone should flee in the face of disaster". In it, two unlucky bastards would definitely die, but the rest of the party would have a high chance of escaping.
After their desires were satisfied, there was no doubt that everyone's thinking had changed. The firm team that was gradually taking shape collapsed in an instant and became a pile of loose sand. There were many such examples in history. Otherwise, there would not be people who lamented that it was easy to live in poverty and difficult to live in riches and honor, and recorded it in the history books.
Although Sheyan was good at scheming, it was impossible for him to see through the most complicated thing in the world, and that was the human heart. Sheyan did not even need to make a final effort, because he had already found their final answer from their eyes.
Therefore, Sheyan didn't attempt to do anything useless. He bluntly replied.
"Then let's return to the mushroom rock."
Although he said that, his mind naturally sank into the special Wasp in the party shared storage. His lips curled into a sneer as a thought flashed across his mind.
"If we gather together, I'm the leader, I'm the core. If we fight for ourselves, do you think I won't be able to survive?"
Naturally, the metal manipulator Paul was surprised by Sheyan's straightforwardness.
"Seaman, didn't you say you wanted to seize the Predator's spaceship?"
Sheyan smiled and replied.
"If I do this alone, it's no different from suicide."
But at this time, Aldaris said faintly, "Don't worry.
"What about the other two?"
Sheyan was about to reply when Ronnie abruptly interrupted.
"Three people."
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Whether it's seizing the spaceship or returning directly, many risks are almost the same. If we choose the Wasp Detector, two people will definitely be caught. The mortality rate for each person is 33%. If three people try to seize the spaceship, the mortality rate will be more than 80%. So, there's no need to hesitate anymore.
***
What happened next did not need to be said. Following the markings and route given by Cyborg No. 1, the party accurately arrived at the migration path of the Sturmbeest, Giant-Hoofed Sheep and Wildebeest.
As long as they were not attacked, these huge creatures, which were quite gentle in nature, did not mind having people ride on them, especially when the passengers could help them get rid of those annoying blood-sucking insects. The parasites such as gadflies and ticks here had also mutated very badly, so they were particularly troublesome for these big guys.
Therefore, when the herd of cows stopped to drink water, the brown cows that were being ridden did not have the slightest awareness that they were being taken advantage of. Instead, they looked at their own kind with vigilant eyes, afraid that they would steal the "prey" on their backs.
The Sturmbeest galloped very fast on the plain. Although it was a cloudy day, in less than five hours, Party Ace could already see the abrupt outline of the cliff on the plateau. The rugged and steep rock wall was an extremely difficult test even for professional mountaineers, but for Pokan's team, it only took Pokan a snap of his fingers to create a path that could be climbed.
In less than ten minutes, the familiar scenery of the mushroom rock plain appeared in front of them again. Thinking of the confusion and panic when they first arrived here a few days ago, the group of people felt as if it had been a lifetime since they last saw this place. Sheyan still said seriously, "If I'm right, this place has already become another domain.
"If I'm not wrong, this place has now become the territory of another kind of powerful creature. We have to be extra careful now. After all, the previous area was either marked as dangerous by the spaceship, or it was on the migration route of thousands of Class Bulls. Even though our scent has been covered, let's keep a low profile. "
Everyone listened to Sheyan's words and nodded in agreement.
But at that moment, an indescribable feeling spread all over their bodies again. They groaned at the same time and covered their arms with their hands. Blood was flowing out of their arms, and the mark, the amulet that they relied on to protect themselves, to be precise, the mark that indicated that they were the prey of the Predators, slowly melted away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"We've been discovered." Compared to the panic of the others, Sheyan was the first to recover. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "Prepare for battle.
"Let's prepare for battle. We're at least a dozen kilometers away from the place where we buried the spacecraft. We definitely won't be able to set sail in time. I believe that the Predators who have been looking for us for a long time are impatient and can't wait to see us!"
Sheyan's words were undoubtedly reasonable, but he still noticed that Paul pursed his lips contemptuously. This emotion seemed to have just emerged in his mind, or rather, it had been buried for a long time before bursting out.
But it was precisely because Sheyan's words were reasonable that the team, which had begun to split up, finally gathered together. Sheyan stood in front as usual, but after glancing coldly at the broken Iron Golem next to him, he suddenly turned to look at Paul.
"Do you want to die? “
Sheyan's words were said very calmly, but everyone could feel an extremely terrifying aura emanating from his body. Dardanian, in particular, could not help but tremble in fear. Dardanian's hands were trembling uncontrollably.
The muscles on Paul's face twitched, but his eyes were as wild as a wolf's.
"What do you mean?"
Sheyan took a step forward.
"Do you want me to make it clearer? Do you want us all to die together by putting this piece of junk in front of us? I'll fulfill your wish first! "
Paul sneered.
"But I don't have any other Iron Golems. Do you know how much this thing costs? "
Sheyan pointed at him and slowly said, "That's right.
"Then do you know how much it costs me to be an MT, damage dealer, support and summoner?"
Paul was at a loss for words, but there was a fierce glint in his eyes. But at that moment, he saw Aldaris moving to his left, while Ronnie simply disappeared from his sight.
His allies, Pokan and Dardanian, also looked a little dissatisfied. The muscles on Paul's face twitched. He took a deep breath and began to chant an incantation to summon a new Iron Golem. This was Sheyan's strength. As long as he wanted to, he could force anyone to bow their head in front of him!
Less than two minutes after Paul's incantation was completed, there was a sudden flash of light in the distant sky. Then, an indescribable spaceship flew towards them at a high speed, as if it had just broken through the sky.
The spaceship looked like a beetle with a big belly, but it was equipped with a tail fin, thrusters and other ancillary devices. When the spaceship saw Party Ace, it approached them at a seemingly slow speed. Then, it rushed towards them in an extremely bold and unrestrained manner!
The soil in front of the Predator spaceship was split open like the waves of the sea. The spaceship flew straight towards Party Ace with an air of arrogance and indifference, only stopping when it was ten meters away from them.
Then, a white gas sprayed out of the hatch next to them. The hatch slowly opened, and a line of Predators filed out. Party Ace noticed that the masks of these Predators were slightly larger and had marks on them indicating that they had been corroded by the acidic blood of the Xenomorphs. They also wore weapons similar to Japanese katanas on their waists, which were unique to elite Predators. Then, a Predator in a grey cloak came down the gangway.
Veron the Grey Back!
His patience had almost run out, so he had to witness the deaths of these Predators with his own eyes to show his respect for them.
Or rather, it was not these Predators that he respected.
Instead, it was the wisdom and strength they had shown in the process of escaping!
"We are very surprised by your performance." Veron the Grey Back's voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the translator. "So, before you die, you have the right to leave your names behind. Your skulls will be collected by our Predators as trophies. Your names will be engraved on the nameplates below and become part of our honour."
