Dimensional Codex System I m really not a cultist

Chapter 155: Chapter 154: Eliminating You in the Name of Masayuki!
 

Fang Zheng had thought that these people would leave immediately after realizing the heavy losses, but he underestimated the stupidity of humans. Under the siege by Aliens and Iron Blood, these people finally came together and even killed an Alien. Fang Zheng thought they would choose to leave, but after a discussion, they actually continued to move deeper into the Pyramid!

What was this behavior about?

Fang Zheng was utterly dumbfounded. He had initially believed that the reckless protagonists in movies who knowingly walk into danger did so because the plot required it, but… this wasn’t a real film shoot. Who were they trying to impress by being so reckless?

The current situation in the Pyramid was this: The exploratory team had sixteen people left, the original Aliens had four left, Iron Blood had two, and Fang Zheng’s Swarm Aliens had killed one Iron Blood and three Aliens. These corpses, under the infection of Zerg genes, had evolved again and now four new Aliens had hatched, making a total of seven with the previous three.

In terms of numbers, humans were the most numerous, but that was of little use. Just now, four of these people were attacked by Facehuggers, and two others were hit by a spike strike from Fang Zheng’s Swarm Aliens, piercing through their shoulders and arms. It was only a matter of time before they turned into nutrition for the Aliens.

“Why don’t we just leave this place?”

Walking through the dim corridors, the woman leading the team also looked disapprovingly at the old man beside her. In fact, she had already asked several times for everyone to leave first, but those people seemed to be constantly contradicting her, always making decisions contrary to her suggestions. Initially, when they had left the Pyramid, the woman had suggested that they return to the ship. But after reinforcements arrived, they chose to go deeper. And now, having been attacked and killing a creature, anyone would know there was something wrong here, yet they were still heading further inside?

“We can’t leave now, miss.”

Unlike the leader’s pale complexion, Verland was quite excited at this moment, his aged face even flushed with a hint of red. Just now, the archaeologist among the exploratory team had deciphered the records in the Pyramid, thus learning about the relationship between Iron Blood, Aliens, and humans. The exploratory team now knew that those invisible hunters probably had something to do with the origins of human civilization.

How could he not be thrilled? Although these beings didn’t look like human creators, they had provided the spark of civilization to humanity, and now, these “beings” were actually appearing here in person!

“If we could establish contact with those messengers, maybe we could communicate with them!”

Verland grew more excited as he spoke. At his age, material needs meant little to him, so he was engrossed in researching human origins and history, longing to discover something that could immortalize his name. And now, he had not only found a pyramid related to the origins of human civilization but had also encountered these extraterrestrial messengers!

“But they don’t seem like they’d communicate with us,”

The female leader clearly didn’t believe the old man’s words. They had just witnessed an invisible creature brutally kill two soldiers in front of them; who knew if they’d decide to kill them as well?

“Didn’t you hear what the professor said? They respect brave and strong warriors, and right now, this place is crawling with those terrifying black creatures. Just the two extraterrestrial messengers can’t possibly kill them all. If we can help them completely eliminate these creatures, maybe they will recognize us and communicate with us! This is a rare discovery in human history!”

Of course, if it was just for this, the soldiers wouldn’t be willing to risk their lives in this dark Pyramid. Most importantly, Verland had promised them a large sum of money, meaning that if they could make it out alive, they wouldn’t have to worry about anything for the rest of their lives!

As for the female leader and a few others, they were reluctant to continue venturing further into death, but they were few and had little strength. Without those fully armed soldiers, they definitely couldn’t make it out on their own. Out of no choice, they had to continue moving forward.

However, Fang Zheng didn’t currently have time to attend to these suicidal explorers, as he had just received a message from Nymph——that the Ironblood Mother Ship had just landed outside the Pyramid, evidently waiting for the winner to emerge.

Here it was, the Ironblood Mother Ship!

Hearing Nymph’s report, Fang Zheng’s heart stirred. He had long coveted this Ironblood Mother Ship. In that Hunting Planet, Fang Zheng had only managed to get a few small Ironblood warships, the rest had mostly been detonated by Nymph.

So Fang Zheng had always wanted to acquire a real Ironblood Warship. He remembered in “Alien vs. Iron Blood Warrior,” this mother ship had fired a shot that pierced through thick ice layers and reached the Pyramid just in time, indicating that Ironblood technology was extremely advanced. If he could take it back for research, it could at least give the Swarm a means of defense.

And there’s one other thing… giant ships and huge cannons have always been a man’s romance!

Not only that, Fang Zheng had another idea. After completing the “Homeland” mission, this plane would become part of the Free World. He had once brought out a Black Cat from the “Cicada’s Song” world, so could he also take out the warships here? Oh, if he could really take them out, that would indeed be a beautiful sight… At this thought, Fang Zheng had already begun fantasizing about the wonderful scene of deploying an Ironblood Mother Ship in the Main World. If he could really get his hands on it, then he wouldn’t have to care about the continents of the Main World anymore, whether it be the Kingdom of the Holy Church or anything else, he would just head to the Interstellar for a journey without prior planning…

He just didn’t know what the universe in the Main World was like; was there also an endless expanse of stars?

Forget it, he would think about that later.

Putting aside the delightful fantasies in his mind, Fang Zheng came back to his senses and his lips slightly curled up.

These Ironbloods treat Earth as their hunting ground; perhaps in the movies, they eventually show fairness and justice in front of humans, claiming that Ironbloods worship the strong and don’t interfere with the trials—bullshit!

You, an Earthling, are unarmed, while the Ironblood is fully armed even with an energy cannon, what kind of fairness and justice is that? If you’re so able, why don’t you take off your battle armor, drop the invisibility, and fight barehanded for three hundred rounds?

As a Templar, I, Fang Zheng, will act on behalf of heaven today, to uphold justice and righteousness. I’ll capture all you fierce criminals in one fell swoop. Of course, to prevent further evil, I’ll be detaining this warship equipped with weapons of mass destruction indefinitely.

At that thought, Fang Zheng closed his eyes, and soon, psionic energy began to spread out. Then, in Fang Zheng’s mind, the scene of the Ironblood Mother Ship gradually surfaced. Soon, Fang Zheng locked onto a suitable landing site and quickly issued an order.

“Lulana, order all Swarm Aliens to return. Let those idiots fight to the death among themselves here; we have more important things to do!”

“Yes, master!”

At the call of the Insect Matriarch, the Swarm Aliens, which had been ravaging inside the Pyramid, quickly regrouped and came to Fang Zheng’s side. After confirming that his troops were in place, Fang Zheng immediately gave Nymph another order.

“Nymph, prepare to lock down the Ironblood Mother Ship’s propulsion and weapon systems, shut down the communication network…”

“Done!”

“Very good.”

Upon receiving Nymph’s response, Fang Zheng nodded and then drew the Sky-Cleaving Sword from his waist, looking around at the aliens and the Insect Matriarch, and then suddenly, he swung!

“Swoosh!!”

In an instant, the scene before Fang Zheng’s eyes rapidly changed. A flash of light passed, and the next moment he, along with his aliens and the Insect Matriarch, appeared in a spacious hall filled with a metallic texture. This place seemed to be a control room, and the Ironblood warriors responsible for operating the warship were surprised, turning their heads to look at this group of uninvited guests. Clearly, they did not know how Fang Zheng and his party had quietly boarded the spaceship and come to their side.

But Fang Zheng saw no need to explain to them.

“Attack!”

With a command shouted, Fang Zheng raised his Sky-Cleaving Sword and slashed at the Ironblood warriors before him.
