Chapter 303: Munitions Factory (3)

With more investigation into the system, Zhao Yu finally understood the situation of this base.
Most of it was similar to the lunar base. With technology points, one could only exchange for production lines. Other raw materials wouldn’t magically appear; he would need to find actual materials to manufacture them.
Most chemical elements could be synthesized in chemical plants, with various mineral resources as the raw materials.
Whether it’s the training camp or the recycling furnace, they are all stripped-down versions, able to recognize only a small portion of resources.
To avoid waste, a resource recycling furnace needs to be built. Anything thrown into it can be fully recognized and categorized for storage.
“Tank factory, power station, chemical plant, resource recycling furnace, mining factory…”
Zhao Yu counted and realized that he would need at least 500 technology points to build all these facilities.
Furthermore, these are just the basics. There are even more buildings waiting for him to unlock in the future.
“Technology points are too scarce…”
Only then did he find the time to check today’s daily tasks.
“This is…”
“A chemical plant?!”
After confirmed the mark on the task map, Zhao Yu was surprised to find that today’s daily task was actually in this chemical plant.
[Daily Mission: Clean up all the facehuggers in the chemical factory!]
” Facehuggers?!”
” Alien?!”
According to the name, it seemed to be very similar to a sci-fi movie he had known.
“Da da da —!”
Intense gunshots suddenly sounded from the chemical plant.
He quickly gathered the remaining five people, rushing toward the source of the gunfire.
When he arrived at the scene, the members of the second and third teams were fiercely firing at a group of wriggling insects on the ground.
Similar to the ones in the Alien movie, a chill ran down Zhao Yu’s spine.
“Help out!”
With a shout from Zhao Yu, he charged forward.
With the addition of the six of them, the number of insects on the ground rapidly decreased, and in no time, they were all dead.
“What happened?!” Zhao Yu’s voice trembled as he asked.
Aliens, that movie that gave him a nightmare during his childhood, and he hadn’t expected them to exist in reality.
“Report, sir. As we passed by some chemical containers over there, they suddenly flew out…”
Man-made?!
Zhao Yu first considering the advanced genetic technology in this world, creating such monsters seemed plausible.
However, he quickly noticed something was amiss. Only six members remained.
“Where are the other four?!”
“Over there!”
The land infantry pointed to the distance. Indeed, four soldiers lay twitching on the ground, their faces covered by facehuggers.
Not far from them, several large vats, over a meter high, were filled with a greenish, unidentified liquid.
“Damn it!”
In such an environment, who knew if there were any more facehuggers lurking?
He didn’t dare to approach and investigated at the dead facehugger, noticing that the ground beneath has corroded.
This indicated that their blood was indeed corrosive, similar to sulfuric acid like the movie.
“Four of you, drag them back. Clench your teeth tight; don’t let those bugs crawl into your mouths…”
Four soldiers quickly moving forward, each dragging a twitching comrade back.
Zhao Yu kept a vigilant eye on those vats. To his relief, no new facehuggers emerged until the four were back.
This suggested that all the facehuggers in the building had already come out and had been dealt with by them.
“Dong ~!” “Kacha ~!”
At this moment, a strange sound came from the soldiers lying on the ground.
The image of his breastbone shattering involuntarily flashed across Zhao Yu’s mind.
“Be careful, they have parasites inside that are about to emerge. Prepare to kill them!”
Zhao Yu quickly stepped back, leaving the situation to the others.
“Whizz—!”
Just after he spoke, a creature burst out from the chest of one of the soldiers.
“Bang!”
Land infantry No. 001 fired immediately, instantly hitting the creature that had came out.
“Sizzle—!”
The small alien shrieked twice before lying motionless on the ground. Its green blood corroded the ground, leaving an indent.
In terms of corrosiveness, this little alien seemed even stronger than the facehuggers.
“Whizz-” “Whizz-” “Whizz-”
One small alien each emerged from the abdomens of the other three soldiers.
“Bang-” “Bang-” “Bang-”
Three gunshots rang out, instantly killing the three small aliens that had jumped out.
This made Zhao Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they were killed before they grew bigger. Once the aliens grown into mature size and develop their exoskeleton armor, they wouldn’t be easily killed by just rifles and pistols!
He had the soldiers fire several more shots into the small aliens and the dead facehuggers, then ordered them to drag away these creatures and the incapacitated soldiers.
Once back near the base, Zhao Yu relaxed slightly, followed by a sense of immense relief.
Thankfully, when he first arrived, he didn’t rashly venture deep into the chemical plant but set up camp near the entrance.
If he had gone in at that time and awakened those facehuggers, he might already be dead!
“Damn it, I was wondering how the hell this world suddenly ended up in an apocalypse. Even a nuclear war shouldn’t knock humans off the top of the food chain!”
Now, it seemed like someone brought this upon themselves.
He suspected that the mutated beasts weren’t just caused by radiation, but possibly created by some large genetic technology corporation. These creatures might have gotten out of their control, resulting in a catastrophe.
Zhao Yu delved into the memories of the original host, searching for the ownership of the chemical plant.
“Guang Zhao Group?!”
The chemical plant belonged to the Guang Zhao Group. Even though they were also into biotechnology, their genetic research didn’t seem to be as advanced as the Reed Group.
” Mutants, radiation, aliens…” Zhao Yu felt overwhelmed and cursed vehemently.
“This damned world!”
