The sky was thick with dark clouds, thunder rolling endlessly, and lightning cutting through the layers, making the atmosphere deeply unsettling.
Suddenly, a spaceship pierced through the storm like a sharp sword!
Its engines emitted a low, thunderous roar, shattering the silence of the sky.
The craft had a clear target, heading straight for a signal marker on the ground.
Beneath the signal marker stood a few people.
Their figures seemed tiny against the vast expanse, their eyes vacant as they stared up at the spaceship, as if some invisible force had taken control, stripping them of self-awareness.
Their expressions betrayed deep unease and fear.
The worst off was the limping older woman, trembling so violently that she could barely stand.
Ruan Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes filled with anxious determination. "Pull yourself together! Don't screw this up!"
"What do you mean, pull myself together! If it weren't for you, if it weren't for you!" the older woman bit her teeth, fury in her voice.
"If it weren't for that bastard shooting at me, would that monster have even caught up to me? And that thing shoved something down my throat—I don't even know what it was! I thought I was done for!"
In her words, she revealed the grim reason why she and the other survivors were still alive.
The eight-person squad was now down to four.
Among them were the older woman and Ruan Wei.
The others were Zhang Jie and a woman named Yan Huixi, all of them already implanted with Xenomorph embryos.
As for when they would be torn open from within, that was unknown.
Zhang Jie shivered. "Let's get on the Covenant first. I've seen it in movies before—the heroine had to operate on herself to remove the Xenomorph embryo."
Yan Huixi swallowed hard. "Doesn't the spaceship have machines to detect life forms? What if they scan our stomachs and find the Xenomorphs? What then?"
Ruan Wei stared fixedly at the slowly descending Covenant. "Then we fight! No one survives!"
If he had said this at the start, it might have sounded intimidating.
But unfortunately, the three survivors had witnessed Ruan Wei's cowardice—how he abandoned his teammates, even shooting at them just to save himself.
So, no one believed a word he said.
Finally, the Covenant spaceship landed on the ground.
The four anxious newcomers, hearts pounding with uncertainty, approached the ship.
On the spaceship, the original pilot—the dark-skinned girl—watched the four crew members walking toward her. She blinked frantically, silently hoping they could understand her warning.
Summoning her courage, she mouthed the words: "Don't come over! There's a madwoman on board! Stay away!"
Unfortunately, the four reincarnators were focused solely on boarding the ship to remove the Xenomorph embryos.
Nervous and guilty, they avoided eye contact with the dark-skinned girl, completely unaware that boarding the ship offered no happy ending.
The reward for eliminating a single Xenomorph was five hundred points. Losing a crew member cost only a hundred.
No matter how you calculated it, it was a gain.
Of course, the prerequisite was being able to deal with the Xenomorphs. Earning points wasn't going to be that easy.
But for Meng Yao, a seasoned breeder who had survived seven horror films, Xenomorphs?
They were just another dish.
The four nervous, rookie reincarnators stepped onto the tilted gangplank. The dark-skinned girl's mind was entirely on Meng Yao. She hadn't even finished her routine checks before the newcomers arrived.
"Um… that woman's crazy! She's taken away all of our permissions, she—"
But the dark-skinned girl's worries meant nothing to the four rookies, all intent on performing their operation.
Anyone carrying a Xenomorph embryo ready to hatch wouldn't listen to idle chatter anyway.
In the distance, at the end of a narrow path, a young woman named Nova limped out of the cave, rifle in hand.
Her long legs bore two shocking wounds, and her wrist reincarnation tracker showed 100 reward points—proof that she had already killed two face-hugger Xenomorphs.
In the Alien movie universe, women always had more screen time than men.
As Nova approached the Contractor, a small car came speeding from the other side of the path.
Inside, the heroine, Daniels, slammed the accelerator.
Beside her lay the neon-haired woman, Xiao Yehui, who had suggested splitting the team and brought the reincarnator crew into such danger.
"Jones! Prepare the medical room!" Daniels shouted at the bewildered dark-skinned girl. Her goal matched that of the four rookie reincarnators: remove the Xenomorph embryo from Xiao Yehui.
In the captain's cabin, Meng Yao, smoking a cigarette, watched the crew board without any intention of stopping them.
She licked the white smear at her mouth and murmured softly, "The Xenomorphs aren't very difficult. Just these few…"
She turned toward the control panel's freezing chamber.
"Six thousand colonists."
"Enough for a twenty-person breeding team raid?"
"Lord God," she said.
"So… where exactly did you bury the trap?"
Compared to Mengyao, the most seasoned veteran, who was full of worry, over there, Da Qiang, looking utterly invincible, had nearly wiped out the entire Xenomorph nest that the bioweapon David had painstakingly cultivated for years.
Holding nearly ten thousand reward points in his hands, Da Qiang had only one thought in his mind.
Hurry back to the Lord God Space.
Back to his warm home.
Fiercely.
Fiercely.
Create a humanoid based on Mengyao as a template!
Da Qiang's eyes were filled with desire, so much so that he didn't even notice the figure trailing far behind him.
"What level of enhancement has this guy reached?" Fang Yu stared at Da Qiang's back, his heart filled with fear.
He had been tracking Da Qiang the entire way.
Along the way, Da Qiang was almost like a humanoid bulldozer.
Three punches to one Xenomorph, flattening everything from the old nest to the outside.
Not only was his strength overwhelming, his defense was equally insane.
When Xenomorph blood splashed onto him, it only sizzled and smoked on his body, turning bright red, but it barely affected him at all.
With this level of physical strength, he would be considered a hero even among pirates.
"This guy has no weaknesses?"
The clouds in the sky grew denser, and thunder rolled across the horizon like war drums.
Lightning flashed, as if signaling the arrival of a storm.
The Covenant ship hovered quietly on the ground, like a cruise ship before a downpour, waiting with its heavy form for its fate.
In the operating room, the five surviving rookies had just finished their procedures.
Compared to Da Qiang from the breeding team or Er Niu's mentality, these five were truly experiencing what it meant to be alive.
Zhang Jie took two deep drags from the cigarette he got from the heroine, Daniels.
His tense emotions gradually eased as he sighed, "Finally… finally survived."
Xiao Yehui no longer had the desire to play the team's strategist.
She curled up in the corner, hugging her knees silently.
Among them, Aunt was the first to adjust her mindset.
But her eyes were fixed tightly on Ruan Wei, giving off the feeling that she would seek blind revenge next—a ticking time bomb within the team.
Just when everyone thought this cycle had ended, the reincarnation watch suddenly rang!
Startling everyone!
"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!"
[The Plunderer is about to enter your star system. Team battle begins!]
