The bug species, with their hard shells, were slowly eroding this deserted planet inch by inch; while Lin Zhi and his Alpha combat group were meticulously laying a trap.
Command after command was issued with covert objectives, enough to alert and excite the Alphas. They already had a premonition of a major battle coming.
They were not scared, in fact, their inherent battle genes were ignited.
Jiang Youbai was also immersed in it and didn't even notice when he was called out by Lin Zhi several times. While Lu Yang, was testing a mecha unit.
The mecha selection results came out and without a doubt, he was chosen. Lu Yang was the most powerful machine user amongst them.
Of course, the other Alpha members also systematically learned about mecha. Lin Zhi selected a small squad from within and together with Lu Yang, formed a mecha combat team. He then distributed the remaining members into different squads.
Everything was progressing methodically.
Finally, the front-line squad encountered the assaulting bug species. The squad members were all brave fighters, comparable to tigers descending the mountain, and eventually seemed bloodthirsty in battle.
Jiang Youbai was the squad leader of the first squad.
Panicked bugs made a hasty retreat, but inadvertently neared their base, damaging the information transmission system of the spaceship, making it impossible to send out the news of their incoming attack.
However, the Alphas fought increasingly fearlessly. Their blood boiled fiercely, they wished to exterminate the bugs completely.
Strangely, after damaging their transmission system, the bugs mysteriously disappeared.
The squad members exterminated many bugs outside, but were unable to find the one that damaged the transmission system.
Only Jiang Yan and Lin Zhi knew that things were, after all, developing according to the plot set up by the system.
In the original plot, the bug queen took cover at this time. When the Alpha combat squad marked the enemy as annihilated and relaxed its vigilance, it made its escape.
Its target was Qin Zhen, considering her strong vitality and fertility, although her organs have receded, she still has the potential to bear children as a female Alpha.
That day when Qin Zhen was on duty, the original host who disliked her rushed to teach her a lesson and blocked the parasitic act of the bug queen.
The parasitized host was the young miss from Jiang's family. Lin Zhi didn't dare to act rashly, instead, he and other Alphas took turns controlling the bug queen while coaxing it out and awaited support from above.
The original host was a strong Omega capable of reproduction, but due to her frail constitution resulting from a pampered upbringing, she could not withstand the imbalance caused by the bug's parasitism.
Before support could arrive, the original host was already dead, ending her flamboyantly domineering, yet still young and vibrant life – this was the plot set up by the system.
But Lin Zhi spent so much effort just to prevent the plot from proceeding.
Bored to death, Jiang Yan estimated the progress of each event, feeling that the system was almost at its end – because when she tried to call the system again, it did not respond.
In everyone's mysterious waiting, the day had finally arrived.
It was Qin Zhen's turn on duty, Jiang Yan stood outside accompanying her.
The night was pitch-black, a reflective satellite hanging in the distant sky, shedding a bright yet gentle light.
In the soil, the robust bushes rustled, beneath the naturally drooping leaves, pairs of eyes lay hidden, ready to pounce.
Suddenly, the light source on the spaceship flickered uncertainly and then died, plunging the world into darkness. The remaining crew members hurried to repair it.
Qin Zhen did not know why she felt nervous. Unlike Lin Zhi, she had not awakened and only had some instinctive remnants of danger prediction.
Jiang Yan yawned, then unexpectedly, her other hand was grasped.
In the thick night, faces were indistinguishable. Qin Zhen's calm voice was mixed with an unconscious worry as she said: "Don't be afraid."
Jiang Yan felt that she must have sensed the impending fate. She twinkled her eyes, shaking Qin Zhen's hand, comforting her friend: "It's okay, trust me."
During their conversation, a massive, rigid silhouette emerged from the darkness.
The grass was split by an unseen wind, the hidden eyes bright as they clutched their weapons tightly, waiting for the next order.
The huge clumsy figure seemed to have gathered all its strength and charged at the only two women in the team.
The air was filled with the beast's ominous scent...
At the critical moment, Jiang Yan was pulled behind by Qin Zhen – she used such great force that she practically threw Jiang Yan behind her, causing her to feel dizzy.
Lin Zhi rushed forward, simultaneously issuing orders without hesitation. The alphas who were already losing patience raised their weapons, attacking the Mother Bug like a starving tiger lunges at its meal.
The Mother Bug – the source of Bug reproduction, was not that easy to deal with.
Qin Zhen hastily moved back a few steps with Jiang Yan and then pushed her further back. Grasping her weapon tightly, she attacked, her movements filled with rage.
Until now, the plot had taken an irreversible turn. In the original plot, Jiang Yan accidentally took a bullet for Qin Zhen. But just now, the Mother Bug seemed to have sensed the hidden danger, and it charged directly towards the weakest, Jiang Yan!
