C1 The Abyss’ Gaze

In the middle of the night, the streets of Rockbeach were filled with the smell of alcohol and women. Looking around, one could see all kinds of intoxicated souls.

In the back alley of Happy Bar, Su Qiang leaned against the wall and vomited. In order to get that little angel investment, he had drunk for who knows how many nights. As a game developer, besides having his own work, he also needed investors. His studio had been working hard for this project for more than five years, and it was about to come to an end. However, the capital chain was broken. He sold his car and his house, and even his savings for his marriage were all thrown in. He was only one step away from losing everything. If he could not find any capital in three days, everything would be gone.

However, Su Qiang, who was working hard to clear his stomach, suddenly saw a shadow flash past him and stick to his face. A tail-like thing wrapped around his neck. Out of instinct, Su Qiang opened his mouth to breathe, but suddenly, an object stuck into his throat. With a few gulps, it was as if a few eggs had been stuffed into his stomach. In an instant, Su Qiang lost all his consciousness.

"Hey! Bad guy, wake up." In his daze, a fat hand patted his face. Su Qiang woke up and quickly reached out to touch his face. "Luckily, luckily. It was just an illusion." Su Qiang thought that the suffocation just now had basically woken him up.

"Hey, unlucky guy, what are you looking for? Are you looking for this?" A chubby face grinned as it placed the facehugger's corpse in front of Su Qiang.

"Ahh!" Su Qiang was so scared that he immediately crawled up from the ground. This thing was too familiar. As a super science fiction fan, he was extremely familiar with the facehugger, the Xenomorph, and the others.

"Don't scream, don't scream. Since you know this thing, I won't say anymore. You should have been infected by this thing!" A chubby figure wearing strange-looking armor appeared in front of him.

"Hehe, brat, you are lucky to have met me. I have one more recommendation for you. If you want to live, in ten minutes, you have to put your own blood on this thing. If you want to be pierced by this thing, just take it as my fart." The chubby figure threw a pure black ball.

"Cough, cough ~ What, what is this?" Looking at the ball in his hand, Su Qiang coughed twice and asked.

"Brat, have you seen Slaughter City? I don't know which idiot destroyed the base station and exposed this world. Fortunately, it was made up for. The things that happened there were actually made into a movie." The chubby figure curled his lips and said.

"This is a pass, but once you join, you will never be able to leave. You can choose to live or die in pain in half an hour. In your hands."

"Alright, I'm leaving. You only have ten minutes to choose!" After saying that, the chubby figure pressed a few buttons on his arm and threw out another black ball. The black ball was fixed in the air and shot out a laser-like light beam that shot onto the chubby figure. Then, under Su Qiang's surprised gaze, the chubby figure disappeared like a game character teleporting from the beginning.

At this time, Su Qiang's stomach was stirring, as if something was growing in his stomach.

Thinking about himself, after graduating seven years ago, the house, savings, and car that his parents left for him were all sold by him to pursue his dreams. All of it had become a dream. Three days later, he would have nothing left, and now he had encountered such a thing. Could it be that he would die in this alley in this life? He was unwilling, extremely unwilling. Su Qiang fiercely punched the wall, and then he picked up the black ball left behind by the fatty with his bloodied hand.

"Binding host DNA, currently testing…"

Contractor: Su Qiang Male Strength: 6 Spirit: 9 Stamina: 4 Agility: 3 Occupation: No Bloodline: No Talent: Unactivated Skill Tree: Unactivated. Danger value: 10 Stars. Countdown to return: 6 minutes and 22 seconds. You can return in advance."

"Return!" After Su Qiang finished speaking, the black ball flew out of his palm, and then a strange light shot out. In the blink of an eye, a pure white space appeared in front of him. The space was the same size as the classroom he used to go to school. In the direction of the podium, there was a huge black ball. In front of him, there were more than ten fully armed men and women in suits standing beside the black ball, accepting something. In the huge space, other than a fat man in armor, there was only him, who was dressed in a suit, who was particularly eye-catching.

"Hey, brat, I knew you would come here!" Fatty greeted him familiarly.

"See that? Those guys are all newbies. They are all wearing protective suits that are matched with the system. Old hands like us don't even bother to wear those common goods!" Fatty said with a smile.

"How should I address you? No matter what, thank you for saving my life." Su Qiang said.

"Heh heh, my name is Luo Dayou. Others call me Fatty Luo. Today, you are lucky to meet me. If I hadn't just entered the level and obtained an invitation, you would have been dead today!"

"Seeing that you are older than me, I'll call you Brother Luo. Is this really the Slaughter City?"

"Slaughter City? That thing is just a simplified movie. Because the place we are currently at is only a novice zone. In the novice zone, you have to fight five battles. If you can survive three of them and obtain a certain amount of points, you can enter the level. Once you enter the level, you will be able to enjoy some special treatment. I heard that after the five battles, you will enter another world. Of course, I have only completed four battles. I don't know about the rest. However, I heard that there are some unexpected things here. For example, immortality, hahaha, of course, that's just a saying." Fatty laughed happily. The guys in leather clothes beside him only glanced at Fatty and Su Qiang, and did not greet them.

"Why don't you come with them?" Su Qiang asked in puzzlement.

"A bunch of sand sculptures. Two people in a group, three people in a group, all do. The most fearful thing is to encounter sand sculptures like them. Every mission has its own difficulty, but without exception, the more people there are, the higher the difficulty. They are like this, with weak strength and still like to form a group. They won't be able to survive three missions. This is the first time they have participated in a mission. They told me that I wanted to seize power. Damn it, my previous five-man team was so strong. They were wiped out in the fifth mission. They died so miserably. Half of the five of them were teleported back because they didn't have enough points to heal. They died in this space. Here, points are everything. As long as you have points, you can teleport your head back. As long as you are alive, you can be saved! "

"Is it that dangerous?" Su Qiang frowned.

"To be honest, in the novice zone, a single person mission is already very dangerous. They are like this and die very quickly. Because the mission is activated, people will be teleported to every region. Sometimes, it depends on face. The most fearful thing is to meet a group of people who passed the fifth stage. That is basically a guaranteed death situation."

"Luo Dayou, mission stage 4, killing the Xenomorph, completion rate 90%, score 8. Received 900 points." At this time, a series of battle images appeared on the black ball. It was clearly the basic information of Fatty Luo's mission.

"Brat, I'm going to rest first! Let's chat later!" After Fatty Luo finished speaking, the black ball shot out a ray of light and directly sent Fatty Luo out.

'!!! The Contractor has been discovered. Activate the emergency mission! An unknown parasitic body has been discovered! Will the Contractor be willing to coexist with it?' At this moment, a ray of light enveloped Su Qiang, and then a baby-like infant xenomorph separated from Su Qiang's chest.

"What is coexistence?" Su Qiang asked.

"The coexisting body is the host of the parasitic creature. It can sign the parasitic creature as its own coexisting partner. When the host dies, the parasitic creature dies, and the parasitic creature dies. The host will be injured and enter a state of damage. It will permanently lose half of its own attributes (the attribute points cannot be compensated for, so it will be in a state of damage. Two attribute points will increase one attribute point of the host)."

"Will you be willing to coexist with it?"

"Yes!" After Su Qiang finished speaking, a ray of light wrapped around the infant xenomorph and formed an egg.

'Discovered infant xenomorph Queen (uncollected state) can be chosen to be hatched.'

"Activate hatching!"

'Hatching Countdown: 10 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds.'

'Activate the first stage of the Contractor! Countdown: 3, 2, 1.'

"Look at the abyss... The abyss is also looking at you!"
