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

That blood-red warning, which echoed through the sky, was like a red-hot branding iron, fiercely burning onto the retinas of every player.

[Server-wide warning! The first global event: 'Beast Tide Invasion' has officially begun!]

one second.

A deathly silence lasting only a second.

The entire chat channel on server 10 instantly went from boiling over to exploding with excitement.

[Holy crap! A global event? I haven't even killed a chicken in the starting village!]

[Oh no! I just leveled up to level 2, and before I even had a chance to enjoy it, is this game going to be wiped?]

[Help! Anyone want to team up? I can do anything! Looking for a carry!]

Is the Mad Dragon Guild still recruiting? At this point, only by relying on a guild can we survive!

Wailing, begging, despair, panic.

Countless negative emotions spread like a virus in the chat channel.

Inside the mine.

Su Wan's face was paler than the ore on the rock wall.

She gripped Li Haotian's arm so tightly that her nails almost dug into his flesh.

"Li Haotian! Did you see that? A global beast tide! It's the entire planet!"

"Our...our base will be flooded! We have to run! Run now!"

Li Haotian ignored her.

He simply scrolled through the chat channel in front of him calmly, watching the garbled wails like a zoo visitor observing a monkey mountain.

"Run?" he finally asked, his tone tinged with a strangeness.

"Why run?"

"Are we just going to wait to die if we don't run?" Su Wan was almost in tears. "This is a death sentence from the system! We..."

"Death penalty?" Li Haotian closed the chat channel and turned to look at her.

"No, this is not the death penalty."

He pointed outside, then pointed to himself.

"This is the biggest buffet since the server launched."

Su Wan was stunned.

"buffet?"

"Yes." Li Haotian nodded, his eyes filled with a light that Su Wan could not understand at all. "A massive amount of experience points, countless gene samples, and energy points delivered right to our mouths."

"This isn't a beast tide, it's clearly SF Express delivering warmth to your door."

Su Wan felt like her brain had been turned into a complete mess by Li Haotian's words.

SF Express?

Sending warmth?

Bro, you call all those monsters "warmth"? Does your "warmth" have teeth or claws?

Li Haotian didn't explain further; he opened his attribute panel.

The experience gained from defeating the level 8 hidden boss has allowed him to successfully level up to LV5.

[Player: Alien (Li Haotian)]

[Level: 5]

[Talent: Alien Overlord (Top Tier)]

[Summoning slots: 15 (8 already used)]

He currently has 7 available summoning slots.

"Time is limited, only 24 hours."

Li Haotian turned around and walked towards the lava pangolin carcass that had begun to cool down.

He reached into the hole in the BOSS's chest and pulled out a fist-sized gene sample that was still warm.

[Rare Genetic Sample: Lava Gene]

"Let's go, back to base."

He gave a shout, and the eight aliens immediately stopped gnawing on the BOSS's corpse and skillfully dragged the massive carcass away.

This is a good thing; the flesh and blood can feed the aliens, and the scales and bones are top-quality materials.

Su Wan was still in a daze, being pulled by Li Haotian, mechanically following behind, returning towards the nest.

……

Nest caves.

The heart of the nest was still beating rhythmically, emitting a soft green light.

As soon as Li Haotian returned, he went straight to the small gene energy pool.

"What are you going to do?" Su Wan looked at him, with a bad feeling.

Li Haotian didn't say anything, and directly threw the [Lava Gene] sample into the energy pool.

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

The once calm green energy pool suddenly boiled over as if a pot of hot oil had been poured into it.

The green energy collided and fused wildly with the red lava genes, turning the entire pool a dark red, like a pot of boiling magma.

[WARNING: High-risk xenogeneic gene fusion detected! Mutation success rate: 15%! Continue?]

Li Haotian didn't even look at it before selecting "Yes".

He walked to the edge of the pool, stretched out his hand, and pressed his palm against the surface of the boiling energy pool.

"In the name of the Dominator, I need... an explosion."

He mobilized his mental energy, injecting a clear intention into this pot of violent gene soup.

"Offer me... a grand death."

The magma in the pool seemed to understand his words and began to swirl violently, forming a vortex.

He used one of the available summoning slots.

next second.

A crimson egg, its surface covered with cracks, as if it might shatter at any moment, slowly rose from the center of the vortex.

"Click."

The eggshell lasted for less than three seconds before shattering completely.

A brand new alien appeared before the two of them.

It was not large, even smaller than the Corruptor, and its body was hunched over, like a short, stout beetle.

Its dark red carapace was covered with cracks left by the cooling magma. Deep within the cracks, red light flickered, as if an unstable furnace was hidden inside.

[Mutant Unit: Alien • Demolitionist (09)]

[Level: LV1]

[Skill: Molten Core, Self-Destruct]

"Self-destruct?" Su Wan leaned over to take a look at the attributes, her eyelids twitching.

Li Haotian ignored her and gave a simple command to the newcomer, Number 09.

"Go to the corner."

Number 09 staggered to the farthest corner of the cave and remained motionless, like a poorly made sculpture.

"Su Wan, find a place to hide," Li Haotian reminded her.

"Huh? Why...?"

Before Su Wan could finish speaking, Li Haotian issued a second command to Number 09 via mental link.

"Detonate."

"Buzz—"

Number 09 in the corner, its entire body covered in red cracks, suddenly became extremely bright!

Su Wan felt a terrifying heat rush towards her. Before she could even scream, she was violently pushed away by an invisible wave of air and slammed into the rock wall behind her.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar.

The entire nest was trembling violently, as if it were about to collapse.

The blinding firelight illuminated the entire cave as if it were daytime.

When the smoke cleared, Su Wan, covered in soot, got up from the ground and looked at the center of the explosion.

She gasped in shock.

The originally hard rock wall was blasted into a huge crater with a diameter of more than five meters. At the edge of the crater, the rock was melted by the high temperature, forming a smooth glass-like crystal that was still sizzling and emitting heat.

This power...

Su Wan swallowed hard, turned her head with difficulty, and looked at Li Haotian, who had also been knocked over by the blast wave.

"You...you built a bomb?"

She pointed to the still-melting pit, her voice trembling.

"Are you planning to... blow this planet apart?"

Li Haotian dusted himself off and stood up.

He walked up to the large pit, looked at his masterpiece, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

He turned his head and looked at Su Wan, who was dumbfounded.

"This is not a bomb."

He held up a finger, shook it gently, and a maniacal smile spread across his face.

"Dude, that's art."

He paused, then spoke in an almost lamenting tone.

"Art is an explosion!"

Su Wan: "..."

She was now certain that, compared to the global beast tide, the man beside her might be the greatest threat to the world.

Li Haotian ignored her.

He looked at his remaining six summoning slots, then at the pot of dark red lava still churning in the gene pool.

"One is a work of art."

He murmured to himself.

"A group..."

"That's a grand fireworks show dedicated to the beast tide."

The words fell.

Without hesitation, he put all six remaining summoning slots into the gene pool.

Six identical, cracked, crimson alien eggs slowly rose up.
