The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

Liu Hu dragged the 150-kilogram suitcase with all his might to the stairwell entrance.

He was panting heavily, looking up at Li Haotian who had disappeared into the darkness, the back of his suit soaked with cold sweat.

Li Haotian returned to the house, ignoring the broken door.

He placed the three boxes side by side on the ground and first opened the box filled with high-purity nutrient solution.

He unscrewed a tube, tilted his head back, and gulped it down. The icy liquid slid down his throat into his stomach, and a warm current quickly spread throughout his body.

The stamina he expended when he crippled Scarface and his gang is rapidly recovering.

"Interesting." Li Haotian clenched his fist, feeling the power surging within his body.

Then, he opened the largest box.

Inside was a sophisticated metal kit that emitted a cold light, with various cables and sensor patches neatly arranged in the grooves.

Neural connectivity enhancement kit.

Without much hesitation, he installed the cold parts one by one onto his gaming pod, following the instructions.

He did the whole process extremely quickly, his fingers were steady, and there was not the slightest tremor.

After the installation was complete, he glanced at the time on his phone.

There are 23 hours until the next game server opens.

He wasted no time, lay down directly into the modified gaming pod, closed his eyes, and began to review everything that had happened that day in his mind.

From real-life encounters to Chen Xue's live stream.

Every detail, every person's reaction, played repeatedly in his mind like a movie, simulating countless possibilities.

……

The next day, before the alarm clock rang, Li Haotian opened his eyes on time.

He drank another vial of nutrient solution, then lay down in the gaming pod without hesitation and pressed the start button.

"Buzz—"

This time, the feeling of sinking consciousness was a hundred times clearer than before.

Without that dragging, sluggish feeling, the whole process was as smooth as silk, as if the soul and the data stream had perfectly merged into one.

Welcome back, Lord.

[Neural connection synchronization rate detected to have increased to 95%, your mental connection with your summoned creatures has been strengthened.]

[Nest Heart Energy Tide Countdown: 22 hours 47 minutes.]

As the white light faded, Li Haotian stood once again in that deep, dark cave.

His gaze immediately fell on the center of the cavity.

The enormous heart of the nest was still beating rhythmically, but unlike yesterday, a small pool of green liquid, about the size of a fist and emitting a fluorescent glow, had gathered beneath the tumor.

[Primary Gene Energy]

This is a resource generated automatically by the Heart of the Nest, which can be used to hatch new units.

Su Wan stood to the side and visibly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Haotian come online.

"You've finally arrived. I thought something had happened to you."

"Is everything settled over there?"

"It's nothing." Li Haotian waved his hand and walked straight to the pool of genetic energy.

The energy is limited; according to the system prompts, it's just enough to hatch two basic alien messengers.

The numbers are too small to be of much help in the upcoming beast tide.

Li Haotian looked at the pool of energy and suddenly thought of something.

He opened his storage space, and with a thought, several items appeared in his hand.

Snake gallbladders and mutated rabbit meat

These were all spoils he brought back from previous alien hunts, but since they were useless, he had just left them in a corner.

"What are you going to do?" Su Wan asked, puzzled, as she watched his actions.

Li Haotian didn't answer. He squatted down and crushed the few dark green snake galls.

The pungent, spicy juice dripped into the gene energy pool.

"Sizzle—"

The originally gentle green energy instantly boiled over, and its color began to change towards an eerie dark purple.

Then, he threw in the few pieces of the mutated rabbit meat that smelled fishy.

The meat chunks dissolved instantly upon contact with the energy pool, transforming into wisps of blood-red energy that merged into it.

The entire energy pool resembled a murky, poisonous soup, exuding an ominous aura.

Su Wan felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively took two steps back.

"Li Haotian, don't do anything reckless! What if this thing explodes?"

"If it explodes, just find another one." Li Haotian stared at the energy pool, his tone calm.

Fortune favors the bold.

If he hatches ordinary aliens step by step, he can at most guard this cave.

But his goal is not just to be a mountain king.

With the intense reaction of genetic energy, a brand new alien follicle slowly rises from the energy pool.

This follicle was only the size of a soccer ball, half the size of the egg that had previously hatched the alien messenger. Its surface was covered with strange purplish-black patterns, and it was twitching slightly.

"Click."

A slit appeared at the top of the follicle.

A tiny creature, not much bigger than a cat, crawled out from inside.

It is neither as strong as the royal guards nor as swift as the messengers.

Its body is slender, its shell has a texture similar to snake scales, its limbs are short, and it has a very long and thin tail with a small barb at the tip.

The most striking feature is its head, which lacks internal teeth. Instead, it has two jaws that can open like flower petals, with a small hole in the center of the jaws facing outwards.

[Gene fusion successful!]

[Congratulations, Overlord, for creating a brand new mutated unit—the Alien Corruptor!]

[Summoned Item: Alien Corruptor (Code Name: 04)]

[Level: LV1]

【Strength: 3】

[Agility: 10]

[Physical Fitness: 5]

[Skills: Venom Spray, Camouflage and Mimicry.]

"It's done." Li Haotian looked at the newborn little guy.

Its attributes are pitifully low, and its direct combat power is almost zero.

However, its skills revealed to Li Haotian countless possibilities for plotting against people.

The newly born Corruptor shook its head, seemingly filled with curiosity about this world.

It crawled to Li Haotian's feet and rubbed its head against his trouser leg.

"Go, find something to test your teeth," Li Haotian commanded.

The Corruptor immediately understood; its body color rapidly faded, almost blending into the surrounding rocks, and it silently crawled toward a rock at the cave entrance.

It opened its jaws and sprayed a pale purple liquid at the stone.

"Hiss—"

A sickening corrosive sound rang out.

The hard rock, upon contact with the liquid, melted rapidly, like plastic splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid, creating a fist-sized crater that emitted choking white smoke.

Su Wan watched in stunned silence.

"This...this is a mobile acid sprayer?"

"No." Li Haotian shook his head and corrected, "This is a mobile assassination tool."

He is satisfied.

With this, we'll have a way to break through the defenses of players wearing heavy armor.

Just as he was about to study how to mass-produce this little thing, the regional chat channel suddenly started flashing.

Under normal circumstances, Li Haotian couldn't be bothered to listen to the wailing of these newbies.

But this time, a bounty message that was repeatedly posted on social media caught his attention.

[The Mad Dragon Guild is offering a hefty reward! Anyone who provides the accurate location or relevant clues for the Level 5 Elite Boss 'Ironclad Bear' will be rewarded with 5000 Survival Points!]

[If you have any messages, DM the guild leader 'Mad Dragon'! Don't fucking talk nonsense in the public chat!]

【This is a business conducted by the Mad Dragon Guild. Unauthorized personnel, please stay away!】

Seeing the arrogant words and the familiar guild name, Li Haotian was stunned for a moment.

Mad Dragon Guild?

Isn't that the organization of those thugs he scared away yesterday?

What a small world!

Su Wan also saw the message, and her face turned pale.

"Why...why are they looking for the Armored Bear? Do they want to take over this place too?"

"No." Li Haotian closed the chat channel, a playful expression on his face.

"They don't want to occupy this place."

"They want to avenge that B-rank talent I killed yesterday, and maybe get some equipment as a loot."

"Unfortunately, they don't even know what the BOSS looks like."

He walked to the carcass of the armored bear. The massive body still lay there quietly, with a huge hole in the heart area standing out conspicuously.

He opened the private chat and found the player with the ID "Mad Dragon".

The other party's profile picture was of a fierce-looking bald man.

Li Haotian's fingers tapped on the virtual keyboard.

"Dude, stop looking."

"The bear you're looking for is with me."

He thought for a moment, then added another sentence.

"Break a bone, and the corpse will cost 10,000 survival points. Take it or leave it."

Message sending.

Li Haotian could even imagine the interesting expression on the bald man's face when he saw this message.

If the chives are delivered to your door, you might as well harvest them.
