Race

They were about to arrive at Garden Planet, where they would witness beautiful alien scenery, but no joy appeared on Uchiha Gen's face.

He frowned, his mind racing as a bad premonition arose.

At this moment, so that the few promising newcomers pretending to sleep among the crowd could understand the situation—

Uchiha Gen did not relay the information through the Mind Link. Instead, he spoke rapidly:

"Looks like Planet Z233 is where this mission's difficulty lies. The Main God requires us to kill every Xenomorph before we can complete the Main Mission and return."

"Xenomorphs can evolve according to their environment and practical needs, and the Main God can easily take advantage of that trait."

"If we can't kill all the Xenomorphs before the ship reaches the Colony, some of them may evolve the ability to evade Mental Scans and slip past us. Then they'll quietly multiply across this Colony Star."

"Even if this planet has a low population density and only tens of millions of inhabitants, assuming the flesh and blood of two people can sustain one Xenomorph until it reproduces and matures, we could end up facing hundreds of millions, perhaps even over a billion Xenomorphs."

"With that many Xenomorphs, even Nuclear Weapons wouldn't be enough to wipe them all out. The Main Mission would be completely deadlocked."

"And if we're unlucky, some powerful variants might evolve among them."

"By then, even all of us from the Central Continent Team combined might not be able to defeat Xenomorphs that possess both overwhelming numbers and quality. As Zhang Jie said, we might truly be wiped out in this Alien World."

The Main God did indeed follow the rules.

It had arranged the Main Mission in the Alien World based on Uchiha Gen's early-to-mid Second Stage strength and Zheng Zha's near-Second Stage combat power.

But It also knew that the Central Continent Team's true strength went far beyond that.

So It had chosen to use the current situation to indirectly limit the time available to complete the Main Mission, thereby increasing the difficulty for the Central Continent Team.

Within the framework of the rules, It was forcing them to evolve as much as possible.

Referring to Zheng Zha's experience in Jurassic Park from Original Infinite, if the Central Continent Team truly allowed the Xenomorphs to breed throughout the Colony, causing an entire planet's population to die in their jaws, the Main God would probably deduct a massive number of points from them.

Even taking the most optimistic view, even if the Main God did not deduct points, having to deal with all the Xenomorphs on an entire planet would still be enough to make anyone miserable.

Having explained the situation, Uchiha Gen immediately began assigning tasks.

"Setting aside the time before the Main God Protection Barrier disappears, we theoretically have around ten minutes to kill every Xenomorph on this ship."

"However, that time may be extended."

"Zhan Lan, stay here and explain the situation to the newcomers. Also, ask whether any of them know how to operate a spaceship. Have them stop the ship or alter its course, buying us more time to clear out the Xenomorphs."

"From the previous mission, it was clear that each of us newcomers possessed different special talents. The Main God probably selected people with various abilities—people useful in the current Horror movie, or useful for building the team in the future—and brought them in as newcomers."

"For example, I'm a powerful ninja, Zheng Zha is a close-combat genius, and Zhan Lan is a Mental Controller."

After a brief pause, Uchiha Gen continued, "By that logic, there should be similar people in this round as well."

"Based on the intelligence from the Mental Scan, this world's technology is highly advanced. It even has Superluminal Ships, yet its ship control interfaces are not much more advanced than those of twenty-first-century Earth."

"If someone already understood aerospace-related matters back on Earth, they should be able to learn how to operate the ship after briefly familiarizing themselves with it."

After giving Zhan Lan her instructions, Uchiha Gen turned to Zheng Zha.

"Stopping the ship or changing its course would be the optimal solution, but we can't place all our hopes on that. We need to prepare for both possibilities."

"Zheng Zha, come with me. We'll use the fastest possible speed to try and kill every Xenomorph."

"During that time, Zhan Lan will continuously use Mental Scan to guide us to the Xenomorphs' locations, while also taking whoever can operate the spaceship to the Ship Main Control Room."

"If we fail to kill all the Xenomorphs before reaching the Colony on Planet Z233, your side will be our final safeguard."

"If I'm wrong, no one can fly the ship, and we fail to kill all the Xenomorphs in time, then we'll simply leave this ship and detonate a Nuclear Bomb to blow it up. That's another way to solve the problem."

The Central Continent Team did not overthink it. They chose to trust Uchiha Gen's decision and immediately agreed.

Then, without wasting any time, the Central Continent Team began to act.

After finding out who understood ship operations, Zhan Lan grabbed Chu Xuan and Li Shuaixi, who had volunteered themselves, one in each hand and sprinted toward the Ship Main Control Room.

Zhang Jie remained behind to explain the current situation to the remaining nine newcomers.

At the same time, he fulfilled his agreement with Uchiha Gen by not staying with the Central Continent Team's main force and becoming a factor that increased the difficulty.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Gen and Zheng Zha had already used the Body Flicker Technique. Before Zhan Lan's group even started moving, they had transformed into afterimages and shot ahead.

"I'll take the left, Captain, you take the right. How about we split up and kill the Xenomorphs by sectors?"

As they sped forward, Zheng Zha watched the map provided by Zhan Lan's Mental Scan and discussed their strategy with Uchiha Gen.

"No. We'll head straight for the ship's warehouse and cargo area. That's the Alien Queen's nest."

"Xenomorphs possess extremely advanced Perception and information-sharing abilities. Once we make a move that threatens the Alien Queen, she will definitely call the other Xenomorphs back to protect her. We can use that to besiege the target and draw in reinforcements, quickly eliminating the majority of them."

"Once that's done, picking off the remaining ones individually will be much easier."

Uchiha Gen spoke calmly.

Unfortunately, Zhang Jie could not act. Otherwise, they could have cleared Alien 1 in a single sweep.

With Mental Power-based mind control, Zhang Jie could instantly crush the fragile brains of every Xenomorph aboard the ship.

Although Uchiha Gen believed that if he went all out, his strength would not be inferior to Zhang Jie's, his attack range and killing speed were far inferior to dual Rank A Telekinesis.

"Besieging Wei to rescue Zhao? That works too."

After considering it, Zheng Zha agreed.

The difficulty of this Xenomorph Main Mission was not in killing Xenomorphs, but in how to kill them more efficiently.

If they hunted them one by one, then even with Zhan Lan, a Mental Controller, helping them locate targets, it would still be difficult to kill all hundred-plus Xenomorphs within ten short minutes in the ship's complex environment.
