Meng Xiang couldn't have imagined that he would become a corporal, and was surrounded by admiring and respectful looks. He glanced at Johnny, who was standing not far away with reluctance but still unnatural. A hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help feeling very proud.
500 points and 1 C-level side story, this is a huge fortune, because even if you complete the "Starship Troopers" mission, you will only get 2000 points and 2 C-level side stories. He pretended to command others to clean up the mess, but Ding Jie snorted behind him, which made him shudder.
"You have replaced the male protagonist Johnny and become a corporal in the tough guy unit. Are you proud of yourself?" Ding Jie's sharp gaze made Meng Xiang's heart tremble. He cursed this so-called captain in his heart. He sent away the infantry next to him and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I got a little carried away."
The three people behind Ding Jie had different expressions. Zhang Jin licked his lips with the tip of his tongue and glanced at Meng Xiang enthusiastically, like a hunter who had found his prey; Nice laughed out loud, completely out of joy and praise in his heart; and the girl Yuan Zhi looked at him with watery eyes, and through her clear face, one could tell that she was worried about something.
"Ahem!" Ding Jie coughed lightly and said indifferently, "Since Johnny's position has been squeezed out by you, then the next horrible plot change is going to happen."
Meng Xiang was stunned. The plot change, as the name suggests, means that the plot no longer goes on like the movie, but why is it like this? He stared at Ai Zhi in a daze, because only she could explain it.
Yuan Zhi said softly, "Not all horror movies follow the plot we know. If the Lord God wants to increase the difficulty of a horror movie, or if we intentionally or unintentionally hinder the development of the plot, then the next plot will not follow the plot of the movie. We call this situation a 'death plot.'" She paused and continued, "Because the plot changes, it is not just the plot. It may also be that the difficulty of the dangers in the movie is upgraded or the strength or personality of the characters in the plot changes. It is very unpredictable. Of course, the death plot also contains more points or rewards for branch plots."
Zhang Jin suddenly interrupted: "I really like the death plot, but unfortunately our captain has different ideas from me. It's rare that he takes the initiative to start the death plot this time, which makes me very excited." As he said this, he covered his mouth with his hands and laughed, looking a little obscene.
Meng Xiang was now even more certain that Ding Jie, for some unknown reason, was determined to kill him or the newcomer. He found it very strange. Ding Jie was superior to Zhang Jin and was extremely powerful. It would be easy for him to kill him, so why did he have to use such a subtle method? He knew that he could no longer follow Ding Jie. Fortunately, he was now a corporal and had the power to command other infantrymen, so his chances of survival had greatly increased.
"Damn it, if I survive this horror movie and learn the secret of your power, I'll show you how I can bring you down. Is the shell of the tank worm so hard because of the plot change? 500 points..." Meng Xiang had an idea in his mind, but he still kept a respectful smile on his face and asked, "So what should we do next?"
Ding Jie's face was a little wider. He took out a cigar, lit it, took a puff, and then answered: "You can continue to be a corporal. You are safe today. The lieutenant received an order to go to Planet P tonight. Although the plot has changed, I don't think the extent is enough to threaten us. So according to the original plan, after the melee in the quarantine zone tomorrow, we will leave the plot characters and turn to tracking the brain worms."
Zhang Jin clapped his hands, danced around and said with a grin, "Captain is wise. I've been itching to try my hands for a long time. These stink bugs look delicious. After the characters leave, I must roast one to try."
When Meng Xiang heard this, the image of eating insects emerged in his mind, and he felt so nauseous that he almost vomited.
Sure enough, the tough guy team then searched the surrounding area. In the area they were responsible for, they did not find any wormholes except for sporadic bedbugs. The insect extermination team that landed on Tango Ghost Star together sent good news from time to time. It was obvious that Tango Ghost Star was completely under the control of humans.
That night, as darkness fell, a transport plane brought in a lot of supplies from the warship. Just like in the movie, Resjako opened the cabin and ordered people to lift down two large barrels, one of which was wine, and the other was full of footballs, small violins and other toys. Resjako's face was no longer serious, and he laughed heartily and said, "We have eliminated the most insects and the best entertainment. Let's enjoy ourselves."
All the infantrymen cheered together. Levi rushed forward and picked up the violin. The beautiful music filled the darkness as his right hand moved back and forth.
Meng Xiang was alone, holding a large glass of wine, patiently waiting for the lieutenant's order. He kept thinking about the next plot. Tomorrow they would attack Star P, and they were trapped by the brain worms, and the tough guy troops were almost wiped out. To survive in such a killing, they must always stay calm. Moreover, he had to be wary of Ding Jie, fearing that he would come up with some weird ideas again.
The infantrymen's joy did not last long before they were about to embark on a journey of death. When the hero and heroine fell in love, the order finally came.
"Everyone pack up and leave Tango Ghost Star in 10 minutes!" Resjako gave the order, and Meng Xiang secretly laughed. According to the original plot, Resjako went to the tent to inform Johnny, who had become a corporal, and found that Johnny and Des were making love, so he deliberately delayed his departure by 20 minutes. Now it is different. Meng Xiang has become a corporal, and Johnny only has 10 minutes left. Can he make it? Every time Meng Xiang thought of this, he almost laughed.
All the soldiers gathered, and Johnny and Tess arrived last. Their clothes were disheveled, and they hurriedly joined the ranks amid the soldiers' laughter. Meng Xiang suddenly felt guilty when he saw this poor couple...
Planet P, the largest planet besides Planet K, is also the nest of the newly emerged Zerg. Some high-ranking officials of the Federation misjudged the situation and mistakenly believed that the Zerg had been successfully eliminated after a round of bombing, so they hastily established an isolation zone to garrison, but were attacked by the Zerg and could only ask for help from warships.
Meng Xiang knew that this was just a trap set by the Zerg. They deliberately lost the battle, and then drilled in from underground when the quarantine zone was completed, and captured all the soldiers while they were having dinner. The highly intelligent brain worms even forced humans to send out distress signals, setting a trap and waiting for humans to take the bait.
The next day, the tough troops arrived at the quarantine zone. Although this mountain area was wide, it was filled with the stench of corpses, which made people want to vomit. The battle fortress built on the mountain was very solid, with artillery positions and platforms all around. If the Zerg wanted to attack head-on, they would definitely be hit by a lot of bullets.
After entering the fortress, Resjako asked Meng Xiang to deploy the defense. Meng Xiang was very interested and shouted to the soldiers, "Over there, over there, two people stand on each artillery position. The people on the upper platform must be alert to the movements around them, quickly." Immediately, dozens of infantrymen ran over in a hurry. After Meng Xiang had satisfied his commanding addiction, he came to Ding Jie and waited for Ding Jie's next plan like a docile kitten.
Ding Jie said to Meng Xiang coldly: "Not bad, it seems you are really into the role."
Meng Xiang touched his head and smiled as if he was pleased, but in his heart he cursed Ding Jie a hundred times.
"Next," Ding Jie saw that no one was around, so he spoke loudly to everyone, "The lieutenant and his men found traces of the Zerg sneaking into the fortress. The protagonist Johnny even felt strange about the worker insects carrying the brain worms. I don't want to make more changes to the plot, so when the Zerg attack, we will hide in the fortress first, and as long as the characters leave the quarantine area, we will start killing them."
"Okay, okay, I've been waiting for this moment, haha." Nice put his hands on his waist and said with his fat belly: "I can play the biggest role in this occasion, right, captain?"
Ding Jie ignored Nice and raised his right hand to look at the watch-like thing on his wrist and said, "I miss the team member who exchanged for the mental scanning skill. This broken watch not only cost me 10,000 points, but it can only detect creatures in 1 square kilometer. It's a loss."
Meng Xiang didn't understand what Ding Jie was saying. From the words he understood, it should be that there was a member of the Nameless Team who had the skill to detect living creatures. But could it be that the item exchanged for 10,000 points was not as good as that of that member
"Listen, newbie," Ding Jie said in a cold tone, revealing a hint of exasperation, which made Meng Xiang feel very strange and unhappy. However, he was in a weak position and could only smile and listen.
"You are a corporal now. When the Zerg attack comes, you cannot be absent. So you wait on the battlefield. When the battleship sends fighter jets for support, we will come out to rescue you." Ding Jie said this indifferently in a commanding tone. Meng Xiang cursed Ding Jie's mother a hundred times in his heart.
Yuan Zhi showed a worried look on her face. She lowered her head and dared not look Ding Jie in the eye. She whispered, "Captain, this new guy might be very dangerous. According to the plot of the movie, only a dozen tough guys will be left in the war."
"Shut up." Ding Jie shouted angrily. Yuan Zhi was stunned and played with the corner of her clothes. He said coldly: "Don't forget the rules of our Nameless Team. If he dies like this, he will not be qualified to join us. It's settled. If you want to go out and help him, I won't stop you." At this point, Resjako walked out slowly with a surviving general of the fortress. Resjako shouted: "Meng Xiang, quickly notify the battleship for support. The Zerg will attack soon. Everyone, be ready for battle."
Meng Xiang had no choice but to run to Tess. Now he has replaced Johnny, so what Johnny did during the plot development is now done by him.
"Tess, go and fix the radio." At this time, the surviving general cried out that he would be killed by bedbugs. The soldier who was monitoring on the platform shouted loudly: "It's bedbugs, bedbugs are coming."
Resjak ignored the general and turned to all the soldiers, shouting, "Everyone, take your positions and fight to the death."
All the infantrymen ran to the paddock. Meng Xiang glanced over and saw that Ding Jie and the other four had taken advantage of the chaos to run into the fortress. He was secretly anxious. The next battle would be a life-or-death battle, and the only chance of survival was to stay with the protagonist Johnny. On the turret, Johnny and Levi were ready, but their faces were pale with shock. In the open space outside the isolation area, countless bedbugs were everywhere, and the "rustling" crawling sound could be heard almost throughout the mountain area.
