Inside the claustrophobic confines of the cave, the faint glow of the campfire illuminated every new Reincarnator's face, their eyes glimmering with tears and fear.
The shadow of death was like an invisible hand clamped tightly around their throats, making every breath hurried and difficult.
As ordinary people, the new Reincarnators were far inferior to the colonists in the film in every respect. After witnessing their companions' deaths, they collectively broke down.
Even Ono Kei, who acted like she had a sharp mind, and Ruan Wei, who wanted to become the leader, shivered beside the campfire, stripped of their initial drive.
Walter, the Synthetic Human assigned to keep watch, suddenly rose to his feet. His gaze was sharp as a blade, fixed on the darkness at the cave entrance.
"Who's there?!"
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a beam of flashlight light suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead.
A figure slowly emerged, his steps steady and composed.
As the light shifted, the face hidden beneath the hood gradually came into view.
When the original NPCs saw that face, their expressions became a complicated mix of shock and hope.
It was a face identical to Walter's!
The Walter Synthetic Humans had been programmed to serve humanity.
They would not betray humanity.
They were a species that could be trusted absolutely!
However, the Reincarnator Team members were not so naïve.
Grim and wary expressions appeared on their faces.
Ono Kei, the green-haired girl who had watched the film, had already explained it to them.
This Synthetic Human who had suddenly appeared, David, was not their ally.
He was the creator of a new generation of Aliens, the mastermind behind multiple Alien films.
A faint smile rested on David's face as his gaze swept across everyone present, as though he were inspecting the vessels, drawing boards, and raw materials for his great work.
"Oh my God, what happened to you? Come with me, quickly!" David's voice sounded remarkably dependable.
Yet every word he spoke was like a needle piercing the hearts of the Reincarnator Team members.
"Don't! Don't go with—"
Before the Mediterranean new Reincarnator could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill at his neck. A knife had been pressed to his throat.
"Don't make trouble." Murderous intent flashed through Er Niu's eyes. "If you reveal the plot to the story characters, the whole team will be implicated."
"Gulp." The Mediterranean man nodded weakly. "B-but..."
"No buts! Follow him! Before we board the ship, no mature Aliens will appear! We can handle any other threats!"
"O-okay."
Everyone felt that Er Niu's words made sense.
After all, that was indeed how things developed in the film.
But Fang Yu, who knew the Main God's tricks all too well, remained highly focused, constantly guarding against threats from those around him.
The Main God had never been soft-hearted when it came to screwing people over.
If it wanted to mess with someone,
even changes that drastically altered the plot could happen.
This was the Main God Space.
Not film and television works.
The Main God did not care about logic at all.
One Alien in the original plot
could very well become many.
The plot where they boarded the ship and quietly waited for the Alien inside a crewmate to burst from their chest
could very well turn into them facing an Alien army shortly.
Everything was unknown.
But things were often this complicated.
Amid the oppressive atmosphere of horror, Synthetic Human David seemed to notice the distrustful expressions on the new Reincarnator Team members' faces.
After arranging a place for everyone to rest, the fellow took Synthetic Human Walter to tour his backyard.
He did not look at all like he was about to pull any tricks, unlike in the film.
After the female lead Daniels and the remaining eleven story NPCs fell asleep, the thirteen Reincarnators gathered together.
Ono Kei gradually regained her initial composure. After looking around, she spoke. "We can't just sit here and wait for death. I suggest that, while all the NPCs are asleep, we should seize the initiative!"
"For example, explore this place!"
A gleam of intelligence flashed in Ono Kei's eyes. "Alien incubation takes time, and any carbon-based lifeform fears firearms! We have guns. As long as we find those unhatched Alien Eggs, we can avert the crisis!"
"Ah! That's right!" Er Niu immediately clapped and cheered. "So smart! How did I, a veteran, not think of that?"
Er Niu's act nearly made Fang Yu, who had kept a straight face all this time, laugh in anger!
Trying to game the system was absolutely something one could not do with the Main God!
If they dealt with the Alien Eggs ahead of time, perhaps the next second, black water capable of instantly killing all life would start raining from the sky.
The Main God hated those who did not respect the rules of the game most of all.
Having received veteran Er Niu's approval, Ono Kei began dividing the groups.
She kept herself and Da Qiang behind, claiming it was to protect the sleeping NPCs.
The remaining members were split into two groups.
The first group would be led by Ruan Wei and have eight people.
The second group would be led by Er Niu and have three people.
"Mr. Er Niu is a veteran and very powerful. Two assistants will be enough for him." As Ono Kei spoke, her gaze swept over everyone present.
She first turned her attention to Nova, the Russian Girl college student in the group.
"Nova, you have a steady temperament. You can go."
That was what Ono Kei said, but her shallow scheming could not hide the faint exclusion in her eyes, exposing the true intention behind her rivalry with another woman.
It could not be helped. Nova was too beautiful.
The men in the group often let their gazes linger on her face, making Ono Kei, a livestreaming host, deeply uncomfortable.
Men should be keeping their eyes on her!
When Er Niu saw that Nova, the prettiest girl in the group, would be following him, he secretly felt delighted.
There was still one more lackey to choose.
Ono Kei once again looked across the group.
But all she received in return were evasive gazes.
Leaving aside the fact that Er Niu had never displayed his strength,
even the power Da Qiang had shown was only enough to send someone flying.
That Auntie he had sent flying earlier was now covering her mouth tightly. Though she limped when she walked, was she not still alive? How could that compare to firearms?
There was strength in numbers. Humans were social creatures and preferred staying with the larger team of eight.
So no one dared meet Ono Kei's gaze.
"Fine, then I'll choose."
Everyone in the group had communicated with Ono Kei to some extent.
So Ono Kei quickly fixed her eyes on Fang Yu, who had been unwilling to speak.
She believed Fang Yu's refusal to communicate with her meant that he looked down on her.
Being able to cast away two people who made her uncomfortable, Ono Kei happily pulled out another lollipop.
"You!"
When Fang Yu saw Ono Kei point at him, he was overjoyed!
There was such a good thing?!
He had been worrying over how to stab someone in the back when Ono Kei handed him the opportunity!
Fang Yu immediately nodded. "Okay."
"Fine, fine, fine. Then let's get going, the three of us!" Er Niu was already plotting when to make Nova his. He was impatient as hell.
He failed to notice in the slightest the killing intent in the eyes of the black-haired young man following behind him.
Fang Yu muttered to himself.
First Order Genetic Lock, Great Fireball, Three Body Technique.
Two-Tomoe Sharingan.
I refuse to believe I can't kill you!
