章 25: Ch.25 Golden Buzzer
When they left the control room Zheng's and Xuan's group still ended up meeting in one of the hallways on the way to the ships armory.
Even though they had decided to go their own ways, whether or not the Alien Queen got isolated was related to their rate of survival. So even Zheng was uncomfortable with Xuan's group he had to bare it for now.
While they were making their way towards the armory, "Just missing the last one, the last one, the last one?" Xuan muttered to himself, then his face turned paler and paler, sweat coming out of his forehead.
Lan suddenly said, "There are only seven characters in the original plot. One robot and six humans. When you calculated the Aliens did you include the main character? This is only the first movie."
Xuan immediately realized it.
Zheng asked Lan, "What did you just say? Isnt there another Alien missing? Why did he went silent when you mentioned the first movie?"
Lan paled as well. "Because of the main character. Think about it, didn't the main character survived the first movie? If she was killed then what would happen to the second, third, or fourth movie? Will they cease to exist? So its correct to assume that we are only facing against five Aliens. One Queen, one killed by you, and four killed by Kris. Then what happend to the one that's supposed to be with the MC in the last scene."
Zheng thought for a moment. "But what if the main character didn't encounter the last alien and was killed by Kris early and the MC escaped safely or did the MC die? Then wouldn't there be another Alien behind room 15?"
Xuans voice came from the side. "This is a question of probability. Under any circumstances, I will always choose the one with the highest possibility. As long as its higher than 50%, its worth a try."
Zheng sneered at him. "Even if it means risking your life? Are you okay with getting sneak attacked by a hiding Alien?"
Xuan replied calmly, "Yes, even if its my life. I will always choose the choice with the highest possibility. You mentioned my life just now, so are you planning to split up with me?"
Zheng nodded. "Right. I can't stand being with you! Maybe when I get injured you will give me up like a burden. Instead of this I would rather depend on my own power! I can't trust you, just like Kampa said, I can't trust my back to you!"
"Is that so?", Xuan turned around. "Thats unfortunate. I said I will only give up those that are useless and unknown factors that are a danger to the team. Just like a question of probability. He was an individual of unknown variable and he failed my test. I had done all I could do for him. But I will do my best to save comrades that I acknowledge. Think of ways that the majority can survive."
Zheng said, "What if I am trapped in a hopeless situation. The probability of saving me is low but there is still a chance. What will you do?"
"Depends on the situation. If your life is very important, then I will save you no matter what the cost is. If saving you puts the whole team in a dangerous position, then I would rather give you up." Xuan answered
"Is that so?" Zheng remained silent for quite a while, then said coldly, "Yes. I understand your methods are probably right to you. But these methods give me shivers. We cant stay together. And dont f*cking use your own safety as the teams safety. Dont you think its dirty to fool us? You kept saying the team, but what if the team needs to sacrifice you? You will probably think of every possible way to have someone substitute you."
Xuan smiled. "If its you, what will you do?"
Zheng up his pace passing Xuan, he replied without turning around, "I agree with what you said in the beginning. Every member should be able to contribute to the team. Just like I wont go protect those three hooligans. So I will choose my comrades carefully, but once I acknowledged them, I will never give up on them. This is the only way to keep the trust within the team. People like you who use people as tools, even if we survive, you are the only one that can feel completely safe. So I wont stay with you."
Neither of them said anything more. Xuan, Zero, and Kampa went ahead leaving Zheng and the rest. Jie and Lan watched as Zheng punched a wall in his frustration.
Jie place a hand on his shoulder. "Stop being mad, its not worth getting mad for those people."
Zheng laughed bitterly. "I am not mad. I am just preparing weapons. You're right its not worth it. So I have my method of combat. Jie and Lan looked at each other. After destroying the wall, Zheng took the metal bars out from the wall. Then he twisted the bars until they became a helix shape.
"Know why I want to stay away from them?", Zheng suddenly said to the two with a smile. "Because I have a bad feeling. I feel there's definitely something hiding beyond room 15, waiting for us to get close. But I wont tell them. Let them lure that thing out. If they believe having power makes you stand above the others, then as the weak side they should be prepared to be the ones that are given up."
"I was a manager in my company, so I know how important it is for a team to work together. And no one is absolutely useless. Do you know why I kept tolerating Kris? Because I wanted to get him into our group, to acknowledge our group. To the point that when he really got into a situation where he had to sacrifice himself to save the group, he would do it for the people he trusts."
After finishing his words, Zheng threw the helix shaped steel bar. The whole bar penetrated into the wall and left only a finger length of the tail outside. This power shocked Jie and Lan.
Zheng pulled the bar out from the wall. Then continued. "I know his methods are perhaps right but if you trust me, then lets face these horrors together. He has his ways and I have my way of fighting! No matter what, we will all live!"
"And that's why you have pass the audition Kirk." said a voice they recognize, and Kris's form appear just the corner of the corridor.
