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

The massacre continues.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"Retreat to the inner city! Fight them in the alleys!"

A surviving squad leader roared hoarsely, his voice trembling with sobs.

The outer wall defenses have completely collapsed.

Those evolved level 15 monsters were simply beyond the capabilities of players like them, whose average level was less than 10.

A single touch and you're dead; a mere brush and you're injured.

What's the point of fighting?

The remaining few hundred players scrambled and stumbled, abandoning their armor and weapons, as they charged toward the even more magnificent inner city wall within the fortress.

That was their last hope.

If they retreat inside, relying on the narrow streets and complex buildings, they might be able to buy some time.

Even just one more second of life would be worthwhile.

"Open the door!"

The soldier at the very front used all his strength to ram into the heavy steel city gate.

"Clang!"

A loud bang.

The city gate remained completely still.

The soldier himself was so shaken that he was dizzy and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

"Why is the door locked?"

People rushed up and pushed the city gate with all their might.

Useless.

That door seemed to be welded to the city wall.

"Get out of the way!"

A mage, panting heavily, pushed his way forward, raising his staff with both hands.

"boom!"

A fireball the size of a washbasin slammed into the city gate.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Not even a black mark was left on the city gate.

"-1"

A bright red number slowly floated up from the top of the door.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Can't break through the defenses?"

"What the hell is this door?"

"Quick! Find the control room! Someone must have locked the door from the inside!" a squad leader shouted urgently, realizing what was happening.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than...

A thick, choking plume of smoke suddenly billowed out from behind the crenellations of the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, orange-red flames shot into the sky.

"Is it on fire?"

"The inner city is on fire!"

"How did it catch fire?"

Panic spread again.

If the inability to open the city gates only fueled their despair...

The great fire in the inner city was what sent them to hell.

Pursuers were in front, fire was behind, and the only door was still locked.

This is a complete dead end.

One player's legs buckled, and the longsword in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

He muttered to himself.

"It's over..."

"It's all over now."

……

Inside the gaming pod.

Li Haotian shifted to a more comfortable position and took a leisurely sip of the nutrient solution.

On the screen in front of him, the horrific scene inside the Mad Dragon Guild fortress was clearly displayed.

Firelight, thick smoke, and the group of players raging helplessly in front of the city gate.

"Tsk."

He shook his head, a mocking look on his face.

"A brain is a good thing, it's a pity you don't have one."

Half an hour earlier, when he was torturing and killing those "comedian" aliens.

He had already silently used his spatial abilities through the newly born Alien Queen, who had evolved into the mythical "Voidwalker".

[Flickering in the void].

He precisely teleported several of the smallest and most stealthy "Alien Lurkers" to the inner city gate control room.

Cut off the power lines, lock the gate, and then set a few fires while you're at it.

For these professional saboteurs, it's practically standard procedure.

This is called "closing the door to beat the dog".

On the screen, the players' cries and screams rose and fell.

The elite aliens on the periphery have caught up, and a new round of slaughter has begun.

One player after another vanished in a flash of white light.

The dropped equipment and gold coins were scattered all over the ground, but no one dared to pick them up.

Li Haotian watched this scene calmly.

He even found it a little boring.

It's like an adult watching a group of kindergarten children playing in the mud.

He yawned, deciding it was time to end this farce.

"It's time for the main course."

He said something softly, and then pressed the last command on the control panel.

……

Inside the fortress.

A thief had just used his last bit of strength to slash a white mark on the scythe arm of a raider.

Before he could even be happy.

The other raider's tail blade pierced his heart from behind.

In the last moment before his consciousness faded.

He saw that the sky seemed to have darkened.

It wasn't just him.

All the surviving players instinctively raised their heads.

An enormous, indescribable shadow was slowly descending from the sky, enveloping the entire fortress.

The shadow's outline was both ferocious and magnificent, carrying a terrifying aura originating from the ancient wilderness.

"What...what is that?" an archer asked, his voice trembling.

No one could answer him.

Because everyone was overwhelmed by that terrifying pressure, making it hard to breathe.

Even the elite aliens that were on a killing spree stopped all their actions at this moment.

They all prostrated themselves on the ground, paying the most humble respect to that being in the sky.

The shadow is getting closer.

Until everyone saw its full appearance.

It was a giant alien that was over fifty meters tall.

Its body lines are smooth and elegant, and its black carapace is covered with strange silver patterns that shimmer with a metallic luster in the firelight.

A long, sharp tail blade, like the stinger of a scorpion, is raised high, its tip gleaming coldly.

What is most striking is its enormous, crown-like head.

【Mythical-level • Alien Queen (Voidwalker Form)】

grade:???

Health Points: ? ? ?

All the data consisted of a series of question marks.

The Alien Queen hovered above the fortress, her emotionless silver eyes looking down at the survivors below, who resembled ants.

It did not launch an attack immediately.

It just watched quietly.

But this silence is more terrifying than any attack.

Just when everyone was about to be driven crazy by this pressure.

Above the fortress, the huge virtual screen that had once broadcast Zhang Jianguo's arrest live lit up once again.

On the screen appeared that familiar figure to everyone.

—The man dressed in beginner's clothes, whose code name is "Alien".

He still looked lazy, even holding a bucket of popcorn in his hand.

He grabbed a handful of popcorn, stuffed it into his mouth, and mumbled something indistinctly.

The sound, transmitted through the screen, spread throughout the entire battlefield.

Good evening, everyone.

"Welcome to the large-scale reality show exclusively sponsored by Alien Overlord - 'Did You Rewind Today?'"

"The program we just watched was just an appetizer."

He pointed off the screen to the buildings burned to ruins and the corpses scattered on the ground.

"Next up is everyone's favorite part: the interactive segment."

Li Haotian on the screen was smiling brightly.

"Please tell me about these hundreds of lucky players."

"Have you all decided how you want to die?"

"A: He was stomped to death by my precious queen."

B: She swallowed him whole.

C: Or, she might have strung them together like candied hawthorns with their tails?

"You have three seconds to think about it."

"three."

"two."
