Host Cold Storage

The passage on the other side.

Professor Novikov forced his way into the temple through a frontal assault.

The reason he had chosen such a reckless frontal assault was because of Novikov's "personal traits"... As a biology specialist from Mendel Biotechnology Company, his abilities were unusual.

Both his adaptability and mutability were top-tier.

He could understand a target's kind by killing the target, while continuously strengthening himself.

When Novikov had first entered the restricted area, his killing speed had been relatively slow. But as he kept slaughtering Xenomorphs, he grew faster and faster.

Because Novikov had charged directly into the temple, he had drawn the attention of a powerful being deep within it.

It stopped sending White Giants and ordinary Xenomorphs to their deaths.

Their physical functions far surpassed those of ordinary Xenomorphs. They possessed complete thinking abilities, extremely high intelligence, and an exceptionally rapid learning capacity, allowing them to wield all manner of external equipment.

Such pure Xenomorph elites were Novikov's true reason for causing this
