Lin Xi and Xavier's first child, the first offspring of the alien mother, was finally born.
It is powerful, ferocious, terrifying, and appears invincible.
The only downside is... it looks like a nightmare.
This nightmare left Lin Xi completely unable to recover for a long time.
He even unconsciously pressed his abdomen, which had completely returned to normal, and couldn't believe that just a few tens of minutes ago, this pile of things in front of him was still inside his body.
"No……"
Lin Xi murmured aloud.
Of course, a normal variant wouldn't be like that.
The child has clearly been contaminated, contaminated by those white nematodes.
When was it contaminated? Lin Xi wondered vaguely, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't find the answer.
Perhaps it was in the cryogenic chambers? As he walked carelessly past those sealed cryogenic chambers? As he carefully examined the mummified corpses trapped inside? Or perhaps, even earlier, as he entered the corridors of the Providence, as he fought those worm-like creatures with human faces…
The white insect eggs had silently begun to hatch without Lin Xi noticing, and then parasitized his body without his knowledge.
As the Mother of the Alien, Lin Xi's body was incredibly strong, making it difficult for these white nematodes to parasitize him. However, his offspring, who were still in the gestation stage, were completely different. These white nematodes easily fused with them—it was unbelievable to outsiders. But considering that these things were specially developed by the most elite scientists on the Providence as biological weapons targeting the Mother of the Alien, Lin Xi felt that any speculation about them was possible.
"My child..."
Lin Xi's body trembled involuntarily.
He recalled the inconspicuous discomforts and symptoms in his body.
At this moment, everything that he had vaguely sensed was wrong seemed to have a reason.
Standing in front of Lin Xi, Xavier was glaring at the "child" in front of him.
It made no attempt to conceal its murderous intent towards this thing...
Okay, even if this thing wasn't contaminated and mutated... as the queen insect, Xavier's body, by nature, has absolutely no parental feelings.
At this moment, the thing's terrifying appearance and mutated aura made Xavier completely unable to restrain his innate killing and tyranny.
"Hiss..." Xavier carefully turned his back to Lin Xi to avoid the latter seeing his face gradually deforming.
That face, which had been completely transformed according to Lin Xi's preferences, is now gradually reverting to its terrifying and ferocious form.
The thought that his face had only lasted for such a short time fueled Xavier's murderous intent toward the "child" before him.
This emotion, direct and frank, constantly washes over Lin Xi's spirit through the emotional bond between Xavier and Lin Xi.
At this moment, both Lin Xi and Xavier looked exceptionally fierce and terrifying—
In comparison, the creature that had just been born into the world, lying paralyzed in front of them, looked exceptionally sluggish.
It was as if it was completely oblivious to the murderous intent and disgust emanating from Lin Xi and Xavier.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
It writhed and rolled in front of Lin Xi, its tiny eyeballs covered by a thin red membrane, staring intently at her.
She is a mother, a mother of a different species.
It's my mother...
Its thoughts kept flowing towards Lin Xi.
Lin Xi pressed hard on his forehead, trying his best to resist the longing and calls that his first child was sending out towards him.
"Close your eyes, don't look, I'll take care of these things soon."
Xavier sensed Lin Xi's pain at that moment. It suddenly reached out and gently pressed its hand against Lin Xi's eyes, then spoke in a calm tone.
However, unlike his simple and calm words, Xavier's emotions began to burn like a scorching flame.
Lin Xi's body trembled. He hadn't felt such genuine emotions from Xavier in a long time: the rage of an enraged insect and beast, the brutality, the fury, the desire to kill, so vivid it seemed to solidify into a tangible form.
He hesitated for a moment, but then immediately closed his lips again.
Xavier removed his hand, but Lin Xi remained standing in place as Xavier had instructed, her eyes tightly closed.
He bury his head in the sand, hoping the matter would pass quickly, but then he heard a scream...
Lin Xi involuntarily opened his eyes and looked in front of him, and then, he was stunned.
He thought he was mentally prepared, but he did not expect the "massacre" to be so bloody.
Xavier, just as it says, is cleaning up the flesh and blood of the first child.
It refuses to call these things its offspring and descendants.
This is quite normal, after all, over a long period of time, the Mother of the Xenomorphs, under different environments, will occasionally give birth to such utter failures.
Most of the time, the Queen's other offspring will help dispose of such failed attempts, but the Queen herself will not mind helping out.
Xavier's body, which was basically still human-like, looked very frail, at least compared to that "child".
But when dealing with that "child," it revealed its true nature to some extent.
Lin Xi watched as Xavier stepped forward and ripped open the child's skin, revealing something churning beneath, like maggots.
Xavier recklessly reached his hands into the worm-like burrow of flesh, and the acid secreted from his hands quickly left large black patches on the monster's body.
Then... those things were easily torn into pieces.
Lin Xi had no idea what Xavier had done. These things clearly possessed exceptionally powerful self-healing abilities, and as the queen insect, Lingxi realized this the instant she saw the child…
But as Xavier tore them into pieces, the surface of those pieces quickly showed signs of aging and corrosion. They writhed slowly in place, yellow liquid seeping from beneath the scarlet flesh, then soon stopped moving. After the mucus dried, something resembling insect larvae could be seen encased in translucent tissue…
Soon, the aura emanating from the "child" weakened, and it might die at any moment, even though it had looked so strange and powerful when it was born.
Just then, Lin Xi suddenly heard a faint cry.
It sounded like the faint chirping of insects, but upon closer listening, it also faintly resembled the mournful cry of some kind of animal…
“Xavier…”
Lin Xi involuntarily called out to her king insect.
His face was deathly pale.
The sound became even clearer the moment Xavier stopped moving.
"Lin Xi..."
Upon hearing the cries, Xavier's eyes turned exceptionally sinister.
The cry emanating from the mass in front of it was rich in nuance and emotion; it was not the kind of cry that would come from something devoid of consciousness and driven only by instinct.
Some information does not need to be conveyed through language.
For example, the human-faced worms that Lin Xi and Xavier saw in the passage before—although they would constantly repeat human tones, they had no idea what it meant. But now…
Lin Xi and the slime-like thing in front of it could actually emit such complex and rich mournful cries.
Even an individual like Xavier, who loathes it, can understand its meaning.
It was a plea for mercy from his mother, and a desperate cry for help from someone who was extremely weak.
