Chapter 405 Harvest and Return

With the alien army's betrayal, time seemed to freeze into a gel-like state.

The deafening sounds of fighting, explosions, and screams on the battlefield seemed to be instantly removed, leaving only a suffocating silence.

Zheng Zha's expression froze instantly, replaced by a cold, incredulous astonishment.

He could clearly sense that the pheromones emanating from the alien beside him, which had just torn apart a mantis-shaped monster back-to-back, had transformed into a pure, primal, and malevolent intent directed at him... a killing intent.

The muzzle of the pulse Vulcan cannon, which had just been reloaded, dipped slightly as a curse that had been about to escape his lips caught in his throat.

This alien army, created by Zhang Qi, is their greatest asset in gaining a foothold in this monster inferno.

Their existence relieved at least 70% of the pressure.

Now, this friendly force has become the enemy.

At this critical moment, when everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit, Zhang Qi's calm and unwavering voice clearly reached everyone's ears through the tactical communication channel.

"All personnel remain in place and defend; do not initiate attacks."

The command was brief and clear, yet it went against everyone's instinctive reaction.

Shouldn't we try to break through at a time like this?
This doubt lasted only a moment.

Zheng Zha's muscles tensed instantly. With a low shout, he held the Iron Blood Spear horizontally in front of his chest, simultaneously circulating vampire energy and internal force to protect his body.

Others reacted in the same way.

Overlord and Arno stood back to back, using the alien corpses on the ground for defense.

Li Xiaoyi and Hua Sheng covered their heads with their hands and squatted down. Although no one understood Zhang Qi's intentions, they chose to believe him in this life-or-death situation.

The next moment, centered on Zhang Qi, a more profound spiritual fluctuation swept across the entire battlefield.

That progenitor Xenomorph is far above the Queen in the entire Xenomorph ecosystem.

That is precisely why they were able to wrest control of the alien army from Zhang Qi.

But he had already considered this possibility when he first designed the Alien Legion.

It incorporates a separate system independent of the Alien system...

With this fluctuation, the thousands of aliens on the battlefield suddenly stiffened.

Immediately afterwards, a DNA sequence that had been forcibly implanted into their bodies and was incompatible with their own genes was instantly activated under Zhang Qi's mental command.

Terrifying biological heat energy begins a chain reaction within their bodies without warning. The immense heat causes their black exoskeletons to glow with an eerie red light from the inside, like pieces of red-hot irons.

Their bodies, like balloons being inflated with high-pressure gas, began to twist and expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the hard exoskeleton, and scorching steam gushed out from the cracks.

then……

Boom—boom boom boom boom boom—!!
A series of violent explosions resounded throughout the entire battlefield at the same moment.

The simultaneous detonation of thousands of high-pressure biological bombs would be a spectacular yet terrifying sight.

The entire battlefield was instantly wiped out by this self-destruction.

Whether it was the newly rebelled alien legion or the newly emerged monsters from the ground, they were all torn to shreds in this indiscriminate and terrifying explosion.

The highly corrosive acidic blood poured down like a torrential rain, corroding the land within a radius of several kilometers with a hissing sound, leaving it pitted and uneven, rendering the entire scene like a real purgatory.

"Roar--!!!"

Outside the epicenter of the explosion, the progenitor alien let out a roar filled with pain and rage.

Its pupil-less eyes were fixed intently on Zhang Qi, who was slowly descending from the sky.

It could sense that the shockwave that had ignited everything just now originated from this tiny creature.

"Overlord, Zhang Jie, Arno, Li Shuaixi."

Zhang Qi landed on the ravaged ground, and as he walked towards the progenitor alien, he issued another command.
"The four of you will lead all the android troops to clear out the remaining monsters on the periphery, establish a defensive line, and prevent anything from getting close to the central battlefield."

"The rest of you, get ready to stretch your muscles. Let's have some fun with this 'big guy'."

"learn!"

The overlord grinned, all his previous frustration vanishing.

He shouldered the Vulcan cannon, gave a shout, and led the few people whose names were called to quickly get to work cleaning up the surrounding area.

Zheng Zha, Li Xiaoyi, and Hua Sheng got up from the ground and slowly surrounded the progenitor alien that had just regained its footing from three directions.

The earth-shattering scene they had just witnessed deepened their awe of Zhang Qi.

But at this moment, what's even stronger is the soaring fighting spirit in the face of the final boss.

After a brief respite, the battle resumed!
"I'll come first!"

Li Xiaoyi let out a suppressed growl and launched the first attack.

He did not use any weapons, because he himself was the most terrifying weapon.

The ground beneath his feet suddenly sank, and his figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, leaping into the air and assuming a flying kick stance.

Facing this behemoth several times his size, Li Xiaoyi did not dodge at all, but chose to clash with pure strength!

The progenitor alien let out a disdainful hiss, and its massive forelimbs, accompanied by a whistling sound that tore through the air, slammed down towards Li Xiaoyi.

Fist and leg collided with a thunderous roar in mid-air!
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a guttural thud, the sound of bones and muscles being instantly compressed to their limits. The next second, the Proto-Xenomorph's massive, alloy-like arm, from the point of contact with Li Xiaoyi's flying kick, shattered inch by inch from its pale exoskeleton. The powerful force even penetrated its body, causing its entire arm to twist in a bizarre way!

The Proto-Xenomorph let out a painful scream, its massive body staggering back a step from the force of the flying kick.

On the other side, Watson's figure appeared like a ghost, silently appearing beside the Protoss in the instant it was distracted by pain.

His attacks were far less earth-shattering than Li Xiaoyi's, but they were far more cunning and deadly.

His palm transformed into a razor blade, precisely slicing towards the ligaments of the progenitor's leg joint.

At the same time, Zheng Zha moved.

His speed advantage was fully utilized at this moment, and his whole body turned into a fleeting blood-red afterimage, moving around the Proto-Xenomorph at high speed.

The crimson vampire energy and pale golden inner force intertwined on the iron-blooded spear in his hand, constantly searching for his opponent's weakness.

He didn't rush to attack, but rather, like a patient cheetah, waited for the fleeting opportunity created by his companion.

Hundreds of meters away, Zero was already lying prone in a makeshift sniper position.

Through the high-magnification scope, he locked his gaze on the chest of the Proto-Xenomorph, on the area riddled with cracks created by Zhang Qiyong's chest particle cannon.

He didn't fire; he simply regulated his breathing, focusing his heartbeat and mind on the specially made armor-piercing bullet.

In the center of the battlefield, Zhang Qizhi, disguised as Kep, stood quietly with his arms crossed, because he no longer needed to take action.

Under the relentless attacks of Li Xiaoyi and Watson, the Proto-Xenomorph was forced to retreat. Its power and shell, which were capable of easily tearing apart the armor of a warship, no longer seemed so invincible in the face of these two Shocker cyborgs who were purely physical destroyers.

Just as it was struck by another heavy punch from Li Xiaoyi, causing its body to lean backward and revealing a huge opening—

"It's now!"

Zero in the distance also pulled the trigger.

The bullet was fired, hitting precisely the crack in its chest that had been previously blasted by the particle cannon.

laugh--!
A faint, almost inaudible sound rang out, and the exoskeleton on the alien's chest shattered instantly.

Meanwhile, Zheng Zha, on the other side, did not miss this opportunity either, pouring all the energy he had accumulated into his spear without reservation.

The spearhead burst forth with a blinding light, piercing the vital spot in the chest of the progenitor alien at an unbelievable angle.

The progenitor Xenomorph looked down at its chest, where the Ironblood had pierced through it.

It let out a final, unwilling cry, and its massive body crashed forward, kicking up clouds of dust.

[Defeat the Proto-Xenomorph of Planet LV-223 to obtain one B-rank side quest and receive 3000 reward points.]

A cold notification sound rang in Zheng Zha's mind.

With the death of the Proto-Xenomorph, the remaining outer monsters seemed to lose their command and fell into chaos, and were quickly wiped out by the android army led by Overlord.

And so, a terrifying crisis capable of wiping out an ordinary reincarnation team came to an end.

The group gathered together and began to tally up their gains.

Apart from Chu Xuan and Zhan Lan, who barely participated in the battle, everyone else made a fortune in this fight.

Li Xiaoyi, in particular, found the reward to be far more generous than he had ever imagined.

[Assist in defeating the Proto-Xenomorph to obtain one C-rank side quest and a reward of 2000 points.]

Adding the rewards from killing Predators and countless ordinary aliens, his reward points actually reached 9500.

"call……"

Zheng Zha exhaled and looked at the huge monster's corpse, feeling a mix of emotions.

Aside from the final Proto-Xenomorph causing some trouble, their experience was "easy" from the start back in this horror movie.

If things continue like this, the 50,000 reward points needed to return to the real world seem... not so far-fetched after all.

Thinking about the future, and that faint yet real hope, Zheng Zha's heart couldn't help but be stirred.

He turned his head and looked at the figure who was squatting down, examining the corpse of the progenitor alien. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including gratitude, respect, and deep admiration.

Not only him, but also Bawang and Lingdian looked at Zhang Qi with completely different eyes than before.

This time, Zhang Qi proved to everyone just how terrifying power wisdom and strategy can unleash in the cycle of reincarnation.

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses, taking in everything, and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

After this battle, Zhang Qi's prestige and status within the team are now firmly established, and it is absolutely impossible for him to compete for command of the team again.

But... this isn't so bad...

Thinking this, Chu Xuan's gaze inadvertently drifted to Zhang Jie, who was arm in arm with Ba Wang, boasting about his recent victory.

The only remaining problem within the team is this ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.

After tallying up their enormous gains, Zheng Zha and the others, guided by Zhan Lan's awakened mental scan, continued to "fight monsters" on the planet for the next few days, harvesting the scattered alien variants. After all, even a small fly is still meat.

Zhang Qi then led Chu Xuan back into the massive crescent-shaped engineer spaceship.

While frantically copying the vast amount of scientific data from the engineers, they also carefully collected various biological samples, including the "black water"...

Until the cold voice of the supreme god resounded in everyone's minds.

[Thirty seconds later, the process of returning to the Main God Space begins...]
