The Xenomorphic evolutionary form required birth, rather than the parasitic growth typical of common Xenomorphs.

In other words, to bring forth an evolutionary Xenomorph, a Queen was absolutely necessary.

Of course, given enough time, a single Queen could birth many evolutionary forms, but two conditions had to be met: first, the evolutionary form must not kill the Queen, and second, there needed to be sufficient time.

Was a mere few tens of minutes enough? Absolutely impossible.

That was a Queen, not an ant queen; how could an evolutionary Xenomorph be born in such a short timeframe? Zheng Zha quickly asked, "How do you know there are three Queens? With your strength, the Queens probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape, would they?" Among the five, a large white man grumbled discontentedly, "What are you saying? Damn it, look at your lecherous face, believe it or not, I'll blow your head off with one shot!" Zheng Zha shrugged helplessly.

In fact, he was already beginning to concentrate his attention, while the protagonist, Ellen Ripley, immediately shook her head and said, "Put away your gun.

He is far stronger than all of us combined.

You carry the scent of those things, but you are not them.

Has their ** drenched your entire body?" Another man sitting in a fully automatic wheelchair spoke loudly, "That's highly corrosive **! How can he be fine? Unless he's also a robot—no, even a robot would be affected; that stuff can completely burn through a starship!" Ellen ignored them, focusing intently on Zheng Zha, who could only say helplessly, "I think it's more appropriate to run forward quickly rather than dwell on this question.

This ship only has a dozen minutes left.

Do you all want to die with this ship?" Everyone froze, looking at Zheng Zha in disbelief.

Just then, a synthesized voice suddenly echoed through the ship's corridor. "The ship will self-destruct in ten minutes.

All relevant personnel must evacuate the vessel immediately.

Escape pod access has been opened.

I repeat, Escape Pod 11—" Zheng Zha suddenly understood.

No wonder the "Main God" said they had to wait an hour to enter the escape pods.

It was waiting for the final ten minutes before the ship exploded; only then would the entrances to the escape pods open, allowing them to complete their mission.

The "Main God" had planned all of this from the start—to cause the entire ship to explode, driving them into a desperate flight.

What a malicious plot twist! When the five heard the announcement, they were all stunned, staring blankly at Zheng Zha.

When they saw Zheng Zha activate his Qinggong and sprint forward, they too shouted and ran after him.

This was a trial for Zheng Zha.

With his speed, he could easily leave these so-called plot characters behind, but unfortunately, he was unfamiliar with the terrain or the location of the escape pod entrance.

So, as he ran, he was forced to slow down.

He found himself running alongside the plot characters, much to his frustration.

The large white man gasped as he ran, "Damn, you’re strong! You run like the wind.

Don't you even need to breathe?" He was referring to the fact that Zheng Zha showed no signs of exhaustion and ran faster than any of them.

Zheng Zha was filled with anxiety; he had no time to answer.

He just kept his head down and ran forward.

Time slowly passed, and only seven minutes remained before the ship's explosion.

Everyone grew increasingly anxious.

Fortunately, another woman kept reassuring everyone.

In the original plot, she was an empathetic robot who had once interfaced with the ship's main computer, making her intimately familiar with the ship's layout and positions.

According to her, they were already very close to the escape pod entrance.

This was the shortest route, and if they kept running like this, they could reach it with three minutes to spare, meaning they could all survive together.

(All of us can survive together! Yes, the three of us can definitely survive together!) Meanwhile, Xiao Honglü and his group finally arrived at the escape pod entrance on the other side.

Their run back had been unexpectedly fortunate.

According to the two research scientists, although the route was longer, the surrounding corridors were lined with defensive electrical grids—preparations the scientists had made for studying the Xenomorphs.

If the aliens went out of control, all researchers and soldiers could evacuate via a secure passage.

While longer, they still reached the entrance seven minutes before the explosion. "Is this the escape pod? It doesn't look like it can hold many people," Xiao Honglü said, pinching his hair. "Indeed, it can't hold many people, so..." the research scientist holding Xiao Honglü murmured.

Just as a bad feeling began to surface in Xiao Honglü's heart, the man suddenly pulled out a handgun from his embrace and pressed the muzzle against the center of Xiao Honglü’s forehead, roaring fiercely, "Nobody move! Or he's dead! Quickly, start the escape pod!" The other research scientist was startled.

He quickly grabbed the female researcher and started running toward the escape pod, but after only a few steps, he saw Zhang Heng drawing his bow and aiming at him.

The man immediately froze.

He knew exactly how powerful Zhang Heng's bow was—it had the devastating force that killed a Queen with a single shot.

If that arrow struck him, he wouldn't just die; he would be utterly pulverized.

The researcher holding the gun hesitated, then roared loudly, "Aren't you afraid he'll be killed? Your companion is still under my gun! Lower your bow!" Xiao Honglü chuckled, "No need to consider it, Zhang Heng, fire.

Be careful not to hurt the woman." Zhang Heng shot his arrow without a word.

Of course, fearing he might pierce the escape pod, he only exerted five-tenths of his power.

Yet, amplified by the power enhancement of the enchanted arrow, it easily pierced the researcher's skull.

The head then slowly crumbled and dissipated like dry sand, a spray of foul blood erupting from the neck.

Zhang Heng immediately bent over and began retching violently.

The researcher holding the gun was utterly terrified.

He stared numbly at Zhang Heng and the headless corpse in the distance.

His hand gripping the gun pressed against Xiao Honglü's head began to tremble uncontrollably.

It wasn't until Xiao Honglü's voice reached him that he snapped back to reality. "Cheng Xiao, are you familiar with how to attack people? Start attacking, don't worry about me," Xiao Honglü said calmly, all the while fiddling with his hair.

Cheng Xiao was startled.

He pointed at the gun in the researcher's hand and said, "You, you really aren't afraid of death? What's pressed against your head isn't a toy gun." The researcher seemed to finally remember the gun in his hand, shouting with a contorted face, "Damn it, I have a gun! Do you really want to die?" Xiao Honglü sighed softly, "What kind of gun is this? Cheng Xiao, watch closely..." With that, he reached out and pressed the trigger of the gun held against his head.

This action completely caught everyone off guard.

The researcher failed to react in time, and by the time he realized what was happening, Xiao Honglü had already gently pulled the trigger. "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, but following the sound, there was no expected scene of a head shattering like a watermelon.

Instead, a semi-transparent protective layer shimmered around Xiao Honglü's head.

He grinned and said, "See? Does this thing even deserve to be called a gun? Its power is insufficient to penetrate this shield.

Calling it a gun is flattering it; it should simply be called a toy." The researcher was truly stunned.

His reaction wasn't swift; he raised his gun to shoot Cheng Xiao in the distance.

However, Cheng Xiao was faster.

The moment Xiao Honglü raised his hand toward the trigger, Cheng Xiao had already pushed off the ground and lunged forward.

Thus, just as the researcher raised his hand, Cheng Xiao was already in front of him, gently gripping his wrist.

He did something indiscernible, twisting and reversing the man's hand.

The researcher immediately collapsed to the ground with a shrill cry.

Xiao Honglü, standing upright, looked back to see that the researcher's hand was twisted completely backward, as if it had been forcefully jammed back after being dislocated—the bone had separated, piercing the flesh. "Hahahaha, this is the legendary Bone-Separating and Tendon-Dislocating Hand! You're quite lucky.

If my mother were using the Bone-Separating and Tendon-Dislocating Hand on you, you probably wouldn't even have the energy to scream.

Ohohoho!" Cheng Xiao seemed thoroughly entertained.

He kept kneading the researcher before him; every slight movement of his finger caused the bone underneath to separate.

The horrific visual effect and the agony made the researcher wish he could just pass out, yet for some reason, he remained conscious to endure the intense pain, unable to faint.

In moments, he was contorted in so much pain that he couldn't move at all.

By the looks of him, simply dying might have been a gentler fate.

Xiao Honglü watched the scene quietly, still fiddling with his hair. "Who exactly are you? Don't tell me you’re an ordinary person.

While this kind of fighting technique can be learned by ordinary people, the way you attack enemies while laughing suggests you are not ordinary, unless you are a madman." Cheng Xiao released the researcher, who had collapsed into a pile of soft mud, dropped his smile, and gave a serious salute.

He then stated, "Special Forces Medical Examiner, participant.

Based on the information and entry method provided by Colonel Chu Xuan, I am the second entrant." Jump to
