Chapter 2342

~8 min read 1,436 words

The Parasitic Species inside the glass tube was still alive, yet it didn't move at all.

"What are you trying to do?"

King Kong Wang was somewhat confused. His principle was that if he could use his hands, he generally wouldn't use his brain; only when he really couldn't handle something would he use his brain.

"Let this thing parasitize me, and I'll mix in among the Aliens."

Mad Doctor pushed up the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, still looking refined and courteous, yet a different luster appeared in those eyes.

"I have studied..."

Hearing this opening, the Dean's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "It's over; Mad Doctor is going to start giving a long-winded speech again."

"The biological structure of Earth-Walking Species is fundamentally different from ours. Parasitic Species are different; they have strong adaptability and biomimicry. If it wants to parasitize a human, it must first connect to the human's nervous system, after which it will mimic a brain similar to a human's, so as to avoid nervous system imbalance after the host's brain dies..."

"Get to the point."

Su Xiao interrupted Mad Doctor's words, and the Dean on the side chuckled softly.

"The point is, six hours ago, I tried to let this Parasitic Species parasitize me under semi-anesthesia. The result was that during the stage where it mimicked a human brain, Widow West stripped it out of my body, after which I removed its prefrontal cortex."

Mad Doctor opened the glass tube, took out the little white snake, and rolled up his sleeves. At this moment, on his forearm, a mechanical device was fixed tightly against his skin. Transparent threads were hidden inside his clothing, and the other ends were electrode pads attached to both sides of his spine.

"I used machinery to connect my own nervous system, and after that, it was much simpler."

Mad Doctor clicked his fingers, and the mechanical device fixed on his forearm popped open a slot. He placed the little white snake inside.

Hum~

The mechanical device began to operate. Mad Doctor's face twitched, his pupils dilated, changed color, and the bottom of his eyes turned black.

A dozen seconds later, Mad Doctor's pupils became radial, exactly the same as an Alien's pupils.

"Mad Doctor, who am I?"

King Kong Wang asked tentatively, looking ready to knock Mad Doctor down with one punch at any moment.

"You're a blockhead."

"Wrong answer."

King Kong Wang's sandbag-sized fist was caught by Mad Doctor as he raised his hand.

"You idiot, don't break my glasses. Give me two hours. Within two hours, I will sneak into the Alien fortress, and then we will coordinate from the inside and outside."

Mad Doctor could not only disguise himself as a contractor from other paradises; after some research, this guy could even disguise himself as an Alien. He was now a true Alien; his aura and appearance had no flaws.

Mad Doctor was using that Alien with the removed prefrontal cortex to "Alien-ize" himself. His nervous system was now connected to that Parasitic Species, but he hadn't suffered brain death. In other words, Mad Doctor's body was just Alien-ized, and his brain was not affected in any way.

Many people might be able to think of this kind of crazy operation, but there were definitely very few who dared to try it. As for those who dared to experiment on themselves, there were basically none.

"Bai Ye, two choices: will you guard the base camp, or sneak into the Alien fortress to seize the Space-Time Power Condensates? My personal suggestion is that you guard the base camp..."

"I will sneak into the Alien fortress."

"Then... fine. Leave ten people at the base camp to guard the tail hatch."

Mad Doctor began to arrange the counterattack strategy. There was a reason Su Xiao was not guarding the base camp. In his estimation, even if the Alien army took advantage of the base camp's lack of combat power to launch a surprise attack, the ten people left behind could hold the tail hatch for a long time.

The base camp was not that easy to destroy. Within 2–3 hours, the Alien army could not break through the outer alloy armor layer.

Once the base camp was raided, the worst-case result was that their main force would break out from the front line and return to defend the base camp.

Even if there were any accidents, there was still the insurance of Benny. The 【Shelter Gem】 she was equipped with could teleport Su Xiao to her side. In this way, Su Xiao could return directly to the base camp, hold it for an hour, and then return to his original position.

In fact, Benny had wanted to use the 【Shelter Gem】 before to teleport Su Xiao to her side to seize the 9 Space-Time Power Condensates with lightning speed.

After some observation, Benny abandoned this plan. As long as she activated the 【Shelter Gem】 and opened a space rift, they would have to wait an hour until the space rift disappeared before Su Xiao could be teleported back to his original location.

An hour was too long. In that kind of dangerous place, even for Su Xiao, the survival rate of being besieged for an hour was very low. The weakest guards there were Fission Species with three attributes around 130, each being a Tier 6 mini-boss, and there were also two Tier 6 major boss-tier Parasitic Species—one parasitizing a human, the other parasitizing a Hegemon creature.

Besides these, there were eight Alien commanders, Fission Species elite troops, etc., all nearby. In that hellish place, without planning, even a team of Tier 7 contractors would die in a short time if they went.

Through the Dean's arrangement, 146 contractors formed an assault team. They would launch a frontal attack on the Alien fortress to attract the Aliens' attention. The vanguards of this team were Amu and King Kong Wang; the two of them charged at the front with great momentum.

The second team was the infiltration team, consisting of Su Xiao, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baja, and the Autistic Brothers.

Among the Autistic Brothers, the younger brother was of the support type; he could shield and mislead the enemy's perception, buff their own side, etc. —truly a jack-of-all-trades.

The older brother was of the long-range assassination type, with a firearm like a fire poker that could deal instantaneous damage intensity no less than Baja's.

Baja went without saying; a space-type melee assassin, very suitable for infiltration.

As for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, he was not in the infiltration team; he couldn't sneak in at all.

Su Xiao was the main combat force. At the critical moment, he would choose to expose himself actively to attract enemy firepower, creating an opportunity for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to steal the Space-Time Power Condensates.

It was impossible for Xiang Bubu alone to obtain the Space-Time Power Condensates. Those 9 Space-Time Power Condensates were not placed in a box or a secret room, but embedded in a special Alien. Benny sensed spatial fluctuations near it.

There was only one chance. The only one who could instantly seize the 9 Space-Time Power Condensates from that special Alien was Baja; it had to do this with high-speed spatial movement.

The third team was the home guard team, consisting of 10 people, all battle-hardened lone wolves. With them guarding the base camp, both Su Xiao and the Dean felt relatively at ease.

The fourth team was the spy team, consisting only of Mad Doctor, who had already set off. He had to mix into the Alien fortress in a short time, figure out the terrain inside, and at the critical moment, assist the assault team in retreating from the inside, or assist the infiltration team. Which side to assist specifically would depend on Mad Doctor's own judgment based on the situation.

After waiting for two hours, the Dean spoke first.

"Everyone, if this plan fails, please rest assured that I will be the first to die. This is my accountability to all of you."

The Dean slowly stood up, his gaze predatory. Having been suppressed and beaten for so long, he was very angry inside.

"Let's go."

King Kong Wang led the team and walked out of the base camp. The contractors on their side had normal expressions; looking at how some of them were chatting and laughing with each other, it didn't look like they were going to attack a war fortress with hundreds of thousands of Aliens.

This time, it was the Aliens' turn to defend their position.
