Infinite Terror: I Have a Chat Group

"With heavy weapons, we could indeed fight the Empress, but we would need a good enough opportunity."

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, no longer as flustered as before, as if the heavy weapons had given him confidence.

"That's right. Before that, we need to kill all the ordinary aliens."

When facing the Queen, we must not allow ordinary aliens to interfere, otherwise there is a risk of total annihilation.

"By the way, Chu Xuan, can you figure out how many aliens are on the merchant ship?"

To kill all the ordinary aliens, the first thing to do is to know how many there are. Zheng Zha had already sensed Chu Xuan's intelligence, so he asked him.

"The growth of the Xenomorph requires a lot of organic matter and energy, that is, things like flesh. In the worst case, if all the characters in the original story are captured by the Xenomorph, then we will have to face at least five ordinary Xenomorphs and one queen."

"Is there only one queen? Could there be more queens? We can fight one queen, but if there are two or more, then we're really doomed."

Chu Xuan shook his head and said, "Impossible. Aliens actually have their own survival structure, just like a colony of ants or a hive of bees. Only one queen can be produced in a group, otherwise war will break out due to internal division of the race, or the weaker side will leave the group. But this is a closed merchant ship, and there are only a few aliens. There is no way that a second queen will appear among them."

"In fact, ever since I watched the Alien movie, I've always thought that this fictional creature is the most perfect creature in terms of physical evolution. They can change their form and environmental adaptability according to the host's genes, and they can constantly modify their genes to evolve. How similar this is to humans who have unlocked their genetic potential."

[Haha, now you're saying the Xenomorph is the most perfect creature, but just now you were comparing it to the Reptile!]

Lin Yu mentally complained, but Zheng Zha and the others didn't think about it that way; they were just wondering what the gene lock was.

"In the most ancient times, the ancestors of humankind were still monkeys..."

Seeing Zheng Zha and the others' confusion, Chu Xuan began to give a long explanation of what the gene lock was.

"Genetic lock? What would happen if the genetic lock were unlocked? Would humans become superhumans?"

Zheng Zha asked.

"You must have heard of this poem by Li Bai, 'Heaven has endowed me with talents, which must be put to use.' The definition of the genetic lock is exactly the same. According to the genetic code, there are no weaklings among humans. Every human should have their own strongest point, and this point should definitely have the highest level of talent. In fact, humans can indeed achieve this talent through training, such as in sports, memory, or intelligence!"

"Unlocking the gene lock allows humans to determine their talents according to their circumstances. You can become a super genius when you need to use your brain, a strongman when you need to exert force, and have combat experience and skills that surpass those of special forces when you need to fight."

"Able to solve problems under any circumstances, possessing an unwavering mentality, and never dying under any circumstances! This! Is evolution after unlocking the genetic lock!"

Chu Xuan's explanation of the gene lock greatly shocked the others. If they could unlock the gene lock, they might really be able to return to the real world alive.

Zero, who had been quiet all along, suddenly asked, "How do we unlock the genetic lock? What kind of drug or something else is needed?"

Chu Xuan waved his hand and said, "We need a substance similar to adrenaline. This substance can only be produced by the human body itself, and the most crucial point is... it is highly toxic. I think you have all heard the story of the old lady who lifted a car with one hand to save her grandson who was trapped under the wheels. This is a true story, but the old lady died very soon after. Scientists found extremely small amounts of this substance in her blood."

"Therefore, it is impossible to unlock the genetic lock by relying on external forces, at least not with our current human technology. To unlock the genetic lock, we can only rely on our own efforts... Of course, we don't even know the direction of our efforts right now, so we can only talk about it. In short, I suspect that this space is related to unlocking the genetic lock, and I even suspect that... it is a relic created by the first humans to unlock the genetic lock."

Hearing that Chu Xuan didn't know how to unlock the gene lock, Zheng Zha was somewhat disappointed. But then his gaze swept over Lin Yu beside him, and an idea struck him. Perhaps Lin Yu knew how to unlock the gene lock, so Zheng Zha asked him directly.

"Lin Yu, do you know anything about the gene lock? Do you know how to unlock it?"

"Know."

"I really know!"

Zheng Zha once again marveled at Lin Yu's mystery. He even knew about things like gene locks. Just who was Lin Yu? Could he be a descendant of a reincarnator who had returned to the real world?

Regardless of who Lin Yu is, Zheng Zha trusts him. Even though he is mysterious and hides many secrets, there is no doubt that he has no ill intentions towards him and Zhan Lan, and has even helped them a lot. So even if Lin Yu is hiding secrets, Zheng Zha can choose not to ask or doubt him.

Upon hearing that Lin Yu knew how to unlock the gene lock, the others immediately stared at him curiously. After hearing Chu Xuan describe the gene lock in such a mysterious way, who wouldn't want to unlock their own gene lock?

Lin Yu glanced at everyone and then spoke.

"The Lock of Genes, Obsession Leads to Godhood, the Orthodox Path, the Strongest Power."

"The main god has many power systems, and the gene lock is undoubtedly the strongest one. The way to unlock the gene lock is to have a strong enough obsession."

"In times of crisis, it is easiest to unlock the genetic lock, especially between life and death. The pressure and terror can easily break a person. Only with enough determination in one's heart can one unlock the genetic lock amidst various pressures and terrors."

Gene lock is a great thing. Although its strength is not particularly high, it is a universal plugin, but it is not easy to activate.

The space between life and death is where the genetic lock is most easily unlocked, but one wrong move and you can die.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be a matter of life and death. In fact, unlocking the gene lock only requires the unity of mind and body. A matter of life and death simply makes it easier to achieve the unity of mind and body.

Lin Yu didn't want to go through life-or-death crises multiple times like Zheng Zha to quickly unlock locks. That was too extreme and required a talent for unlocking. Lin Yu only wanted to use auxiliary methods to unlock locks or cultivate unlocking normally. Although it would be slower, it wouldn't be so extreme. Moreover, higher-level enhancements would make unlocking easier. There was really no need to learn from Zheng Zha.

"I see."

Although Chu Xuan didn't know why Lin Yu knew so much about gene locks, he didn't think Lin Yu was talking nonsense.

"That sounds really difficult. It can only be activated during a crisis; one wrong move and you're really dead!"

Zheng Zha sighed.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Something as powerful as the gene lock wouldn't be normal if it were easy to unlock.

Just as the group was about to continue the conversation, cries of alarm and distress came from afar, clearly indicating that the group of newcomers who had left had been attacked.
