Chapter 36 Alien 2 - Startup
"I'm your father!" Wang Lu raised his middle finger at the screen, delivering a powerful and devastating attack.
The communications officer who was being scolded froze for a moment, then his face immediately turned red. Before he could retaliate, Wang Lu rattled off a string of words:
"The spaceship was attacked by alien creatures and was completely wiped out. We are the last survivors!"
"Immediately, right now, contact the highest-ranking leader you can reach!"
"OK?!"
"..." Such explosive news left the operator stunned for a moment. After recovering, she immediately pressed the alarm.
After a series of beeping sounds, a high-ranking executive from the Weyland Corporation finally arrived, sat opposite the screen, and saw the information about the Central Continent Team.
"You are the security personnel on the spaceship. Immediately report your entire experience in detail, without any concealment or lies..."
"Damn you, Feng! Fuck you! There are damn security cameras on the spaceship, are you blind?"
"I now order you to immediately hand over control of the spaceship, or when we return to Earth, I will surely punish you, Feng!"
“…………”
Zheng Zha watched Wang Lu rant at the screen, awkwardly wiped his sweat, and asked, "Brother, shouldn't we be a little gentler? These NPCs are all high-ranking executives of the Weyland Company, and they should be our bosses."
"What kind of boss is he? What kind of person does he think he is, to be my boss?"
"Don't worry, these guys are just scoundrels. They'd risk their lives to research Xenomorphs. Come on, you come over and give them a piece of your mind."
"No, no, no, I'd better not," Zheng Zha waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he was a civilized person.
On Earth, the top executives of the Weyland Corporation didn't seem to care about Wang Lu's insults at all. After repeated discussions, they finally made a decision.
"Wang Lu, Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie... Weyland Corporation is now issuing you a mission: bring back the alien species from planet LV426: life, whether dead or alive."
Wang Lu: "Okay, but you must hand over control of the spaceship. I want complete control, not even a single screw can be missing."
In the scene, Weyland II, the head of the Weyland Corporation, personally comes out to negotiate: "You have no right to bargain! If you don't complete the mission, you will be trapped and die on the ship."
Wang Lu, looking every bit the bachelor, shrugged and said, "Fine, then let's wait it out. If we don't get a reply within 10 days, we'll all commit suicide! You can let the ghosts catch alien creatures for you!"
“…………”
Negotiations have stalled.
The people at Wieland Corporation think you're just a lowly security guard, what gives you the right to act so arrogantly?
Wang Lu felt he had Weyland's lifeline in his grasp, because the Xenomorph was crucial to the company's future world domination and its ability to achieve immortality.
He believed that Wieland II would definitely not be able to hold on.
To increase his stakes, he went so far as to make a direct threat:
"If we don't receive a response within 10 days, we'll take the escape pods ourselves, land on LV426, kill the alien creatures inside, and leave you with nothing! Hahahaha!"
"What good will doing this do you?!"
"It's not beneficial at all; it's just harming others without benefiting oneself, hehehe~~~"
“…………”
Finally, after several hours, the Weyland Corporation could no longer hold out and, despite the huge interstellar communication delays, partially agreed to Wang Lu's request.
"This is a planetary terraforming spaceship, designed to terraform LV426 and make it habitable. Therefore, it is quite large and does not belong solely to our Weyland Corporation. We can only entrust you with control of the portion of the spaceship modules that belong to our company."
Wang Lu: "What modules are on the spacecraft?"
"Control room, living quarters, equipment area, deck... warehouse... Among these, we can hand over to you some mining equipment, atmospheric modification equipment, as well as the hospital and control room."
Upon hearing the word "hospital," Chu Xuan's eyes lit up; this was the place he was most interested in.
Using advanced medical equipment, he can study the T-virus.
However, Wang Lu was concerned with something else:
"That's it? What about the weapon systems??"
"...There are no weapon systems. This is a planetary terraforming ship, not an armed spaceship, so how could it have weapon systems?"
Wang Lu snorted coldly: "I'll believe you for now, but if I discover there's a weapon system on the spaceship, you'd better watch out for your Feng."
"Complete the mission as quickly as possible! We'll pay five times the price..."

Wang Lu immediately cut off the video feed.
The door to the spaceship's control room beeped before slowly opening...
The first thing you see is a blue sci-fi scene, followed by a huge screen displaying the boundless deep space in front of the spaceship.
It's not glass, it's a monitor.
The spacecraft has an autopilot module, which has been remotely adjusted by Weyland Corporation personnel to approach LV426.
Immediately afterwards, the deck, which was not originally open to the Central Continent Team, was revealed, and a small landing spaceship was ready to go.
Meanwhile, the main god's mission arrived late.
"Enter the pre-release horror movie scenario early, difficulty increased to maximum, rewards doubled. Within 10 days, defeat the Alien Queen located in the underground cavern of Star 426. Rewards: 2 C-rank side quests, 4000 reward points. Mission failure: the entire team loses 5000 reward points. Insufficient points: annihilation!"
"During the mission, killing a regular alien will earn you 1 reward point."
Upon hearing the mission, Chu Xuan immediately raised his hand: "I don't have much combat power, so I'm useless on the ground. I'll stay here and research the T-virus."
"Okay. What about Zheng Zha? You're the weakest one among us. I'm afraid the Alien Queen could easily kill you with a single swipe of her claw," Wang Lu asked.
"I'm going! Calm seas can't produce excellent sailors! I'm going to unlock the second stage of my genetic lock in battle!" Zheng Zha was full of fighting spirit.
"Alright, give him a gun! Let's go!"
The group boarded the landing ship one by one. It was a small spaceship, 400 meters long and about 150 meters high, parked on the deck. The base had six huge exhaust nozzles.
As the mothership slowly approached the planet and reached its designated position, the landing craft also activated. With a thunderous roar, it carried everyone into orbit LV426 and then continued its descent.
Chu Xuan's voice rang in everyone's ears:
"The air on this planet is not suitable for human survival. However, the mothership has an atmospheric alteration device that can change the atmosphere of the combat zone, so you will not need to wear spacesuits when you land."
"I've already marked the landing site. There's an Engineer's ship there; Wang Lu, remember to retrieve it using subspace. I think that ship might contain the Engineer's remains, or even black liquid."
OK.
Boom~~~~
The spaceship roared loudly, and the lander at the bottom began to generate reverse thrust, meaning that the group was about to arrive.
Anxious, Zhan Lan finally waited until the spaceship slowed down and came to a stop, and her physical condition stabilized before activating her mental scan to examine the ground.
But just one glance was enough to stun her, and she exclaimed:
"Stop! Stop now! The ground is covered in aliens!"
"Densely packed! You can't see the end of it!!"
