The clichéd scene of new Reincarnators refusing to believe this was the Main God Space, thinking they had been kidnapped and making a huge fuss, did not happen.

Perhaps it also had something to do with their current setting.

When the newcomers pressed themselves against the window and saw the endless universe—

The hope in their hearts finally died.

They gathered by the window, staring through the reinforced glass at the vast, boundless universe outside.

Starlight flickered beyond the window, while the unease in their hearts continued to swell.

"How is this possible?" A young woman's voice trembled. Her hands gripped the window frame tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

"Look at those stars. How far are we from Earth?" A Strongman's voice carried a trace of despair. His gaze drifted across the starry sky, as though searching for that familiar blue planet, but all he saw was an unfamiliar sea of stars.

"How are we supposed to get back?" A middle-aged man's voice was full of anxiety. Sweat had already formed on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with fear of the unknown.

"Shut up! All of you, shut up!" A shrill voice shattered the murmurs in the cabin. A thin man waved his arms excitedly. "We need to find a way out! We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

The atmosphere in the cabin grew increasingly tense, and the newcomers' anxiety and panic spread through the air.

Some of them began cursing, venting the unease and anger in their hearts.

"I want to go home! I want to see my family!" A woman wept, her voice swallowed by suppressed panic.

"Are we dreaming? This has to be a nightmare!" A young man muttered to himself, his eyes unfocused, as if still unwilling to accept the reality before him.

Fang Yu quietly watched everything unfold. He knew these newcomers needed time to accept this cruel reality.

They had been abruptly taken from their familiar world and brought into an unknown expanse of space. Such an enormous change was enough to make anyone panic and feel uneasy.

The situation he remembered, where veterans personally led the team, had not occurred. The three Farming Team members—Er Niu, Da Qiang, and Meng Yao—seemed to have no thoughts at all about these newcomers.

Fang Yu instantly understood what those three were planning.

They were going to sell out their teammates.

The difficulty of the Main God Space increased with the number of members.

Meng Yao and the others believed the Farming Team had seven members, but in reality, Fang Yu had used Da Qiang's points to repair his body, quietly opened a door, and hidden himself.

So this was actually an eight-person Reincarnator Team.

In the Horror Film Alien: Covenant, they had been supplemented to a twenty-person raid instance.

The Main God was clearly trying to reduce their numbers.

This was punishment for the Farming Team!

Death had to be used to cleanse the entire team!

How high would the difficulty be? It definitely would not be some petty affair involving only one Alien like in the original story.

It was very likely that what they were about to face was...

"No!"

A woman's scream drew everyone's attention.

A short-haired woman stared hopelessly at a burning hibernation pod, yet she could do nothing.

Inside the hibernation pod lay Jacob, captain of the Covenant and also Daniels's lover.

The flames "cleansed" the entire hibernation pod.

When the hatch was finally forced open, everyone watched as a charred corpse was carried out and laid on the ground.

The intense stench and burnt smell caused everyone both mental and physical discomfort. Daniels ran to the body and broke down in tears.

Seeing this, the newcomer team, which had still harbored a bit of hope just moments ago, stopped making a fuss.

"We really did... we really came into a movie." A boy with dyed blond hair, dressed like a high school student, stared blankly at Daniels's face. "I know that face."

"Forget the fact that we're in space. Just this face alone—if this were a prank, how could they possibly hire a Hollywood superstar? It makes no sense!"

His words finally woke the other newcomers up.

Now, all they could think about was how to survive this Horror Film. Nothing else mattered.

"I'm sorry, Daniels."

A stern-faced man stepped forward. He was the Synthetic Human, Walter.

As Walter explained the situation to the film's characters, the Reincarnator Team pricked up their ears. He was explaining the situation to them as well.

"While I was deploying the solar sails to recharge, we encountered a neutrino burst. The ship was hit, so I sounded the alarm."

First Officer Oram was automatically promoted to Captain. He went to Daniels's side, intending to pat her back in comfort, but Daniels stood up and ran back to her room, where she began sobbing.

The cleanup work was quickly assigned.

The newcomer Reincarnators were mostly given trivial matters to handle, but even so, many of them could not manage their tasks properly.

"Damn it! How did the company choose these Newbies as colonist crew?" Oram could only grumble before silently continuing his work.

Once the film's characters began busying themselves, the newcomer team gathered together.

"We absolutely have to make those idiot movie characters return to Earth!"

"Right! We can't let them head for that place where Aliens exist!"

As they discussed it, a "leader" also emerged.

He was a middle-aged man with a goatee named Ruan Wei.

According to him, he was an executive at a company and managed a team of five hundred people year-round, so it made sense for him to be the captain.

He stroked his goatee, lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and remained silent, as though deep in thought.

Fang Yu noticed the three Farming Team members watching from the side with faintly amused expressions, and he found it rather ridiculous.

Veterans watching a show while newcomers held a discussion—this was truly a rare sight.

"No, we can't change the course."

After thinking for a long time, Ruan Wei voiced his opinion.

"Huh!? What did you say!? We can't change the course? Are you asking all of us to go die on that Alien planet!?" An Auntie with a red scarf around her neck, looking as though she had been pulled straight off a tour bus, shouted.

She was loud, and her voice was grating.

"Didn't you see the mission on our watches?" Ruan Wei raised a hand. "High risk means high reward. Since we've already come here, we need to find a way to improve ourselves."

"Ahh! What are you talking about!? Don't you value your life?! If you want to go, then go! I'm not going!"

Aunties were the hardest kind of people to deal with anywhere, and Ruan Wei did not know what else to say.

"You're too noisy!"

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed over!

Before anyone could react, the loud Auntie was sent flying!

Smack!

"Ah!"

The Auntie clutched her bleeding head, staring around in complete confusion.

She only felt something flash before her eyes, and then she had flown over here.

The newcomers stared at the suddenly appearing Da Qiang in shock!

Only Fang Yu lowered the brim of his hat and did not look up.

"Allow me to introduce myself." Da Qiang loosened his cuffs. "I'm a veteran, Da Qiang."

As he said this, he fixed his gaze on Ruan Wei, the leader the newcomers had chosen.

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "I'm the captain of this team!"

With that one sentence, Ruan Wei became a Joker.

Da Qiang greatly enjoyed the way everyone looked at him as if he were some immortal. He cleared his throat and continued.

"From now on, if anyone dares to disobey what I say, their fate will be the same as that person's."

He suddenly raised his voice, making everyone's eardrums ache!

"Did you hear me!?"

The newcomers silently nodded.

They no longer dared to say anything.

Ruan Wei? Even though he was deeply unwilling, he now shrank his neck and listened closely.

Meanwhile, Fang Yu silently calculated the force behind Da Qiang's punch.
