And unlike before, this time Wu Xian is not "making friends out of thin air". He has actually tried this trick with his companions.
But the companions here refer to those in the world of "Inhaling and Swallowing Stars".
In the shared memories, Inhaling and Swallowing Wu Xian had once fused with another Mentalist who was proficient in Perception during an expedition outside, thereby expanding the scanning range to search for more Monsters.
It was that experience that allowed him to master this skill.
On the other side, after listening to Wu Xian's explanation, Jian Lan's expression slightly changed, then she took a deep breath and walked forward two steps: "Captain, let's begin. I'm willing to give it a try."
"Good!"
Wu Xian smiled, and then took out a vial of blue double helix structured medicine from his storage space, which was the T-virus from the world of "Resident Evil".
Under Chu Xuan's reflected mirrorlight, Wu Xian simply explained the effect of the T-virus in assisting to unlock the gene lock, causing an array of surprised expressions among the people of Zhong China Team.
They had previously heard Wu Xian mention the principles of the gene lock during their training in the Master God Space, and knew that Zheng Zhang had unlocked the second-level gene lock.
And it was precisely because of this that, despite everyone having similar levels of bloodline enhancement, Zheng Zha's displayed strength far outpaced the other three, ranking only behind Wu Xian who had unlocked the third-level gene lock.
Thinking about this, Murong and Li Xiaoyu immediately gazed at Jian Lan with envious eyes.
There is no doubt that Wu Xian took out the T-virus at this time in order to help Jian Lan unlock her gene lock and further enhance her abilities.
"Don't be envious. When I and you went back to Resident Evil before, we snatched a lot from Umbrella Corporation. Everyone will get a share when we go back, including your clone."
Wu Xian saw the expressions of the two and couldn't help but smile.
By now, he doesn't dwell on what the jinx team battle would be. As long as Zhong State Team becomes strong enough, just take on Gaoyako, Yin State Team directly.
He wouldn't believe it either. If the Zhong State Team in the original story could still win against these two enemies despite being so bad, then there's no reason that with them now being stronger, and with himself added to the mix as someone who's on a level playing field, they couldn't win.
It's impossible for the main god to throw the Heavenly God Squad or Demon Squad in just to increase the difficulty for himself as a smuggler.
Ha ha! This is impossible!
......
"It hurts so much, I felt like I almost died..."
Ten minutes later, Jian Lan recovered from the side effects of unlocking her gene lock under the D-level main plot recovery medicine that Wu Xian had already prepared.
Though drenched in sweat and her face pale enough to be terrifying, a hint of confidence never seen before shone in her eyes.
For a true Mentalist Controller, whether or not they unlock the gene lock is a completely different concept from at least Jian Lan's perspective.
She has confidence that as long as she can enter that state again, the range of her Mental Force Scan will at least be expanded by five to six times. With Wu Xian's assistance, it may even be possible to include the entire Nostromo in the scan.
"Then, let's begin now."
Wu Xian's voice came from behind.
Following that, Jian Lan felt a hand press on her head, bringing an ice-cold touch.
Jian Lan shivered slightly, quickly steadied her composure, and solemnly replied, "Captain, I am ready."
"Hmm..."
Wu Xian smiled, and then suddenly remembered something, his tone softened slightly: "I haven't used this skill very often, so you might feel uncomfortable. Try to endure it for a while. When we return to the Master God Space, I will make it up to you."
"Ah? Er... Thank you."
Perhaps feeling that these words were strange, Jian Lan's cheeks unconsciously flushed red. Then she closed her eyes, and when she reopened them, the pupils had been replaced by a blankness and were emitting a faint white glow.
Gene Lock Level 1 - Open!
Wu Xian, seeing this, did not delay any longer. His gaze turned firm, and he quickly injected his already surpassing a thousand Mental Force into Jian Lan's brain, searching for her mental power to merge with.
This process was quick, but it was not smooth. After all, there had been no practice beforehand. The fusion of two completely different mental forces would inevitably encounter various problems.
And at this moment, Wu Xian's eyes also fell into a state of blankness...
Buzzing———
A strange buzzing sound echoed, and everyone in the main control room felt an indescribable pressure rise in their hearts. The newcomers outside the cubicle, thinking it was an alien invasion, screamed in fear until Zheng Zha stepped in to calm them down.
"Did it work?"
Chu Xuan watched this scene from the side, and a glint of emotion, difficult to describe, perhaps what could be called an emotion, flashed in his eyes behind his glasses. It was unclear what he was thinking.
Wu Xian did not reply. At this moment, he was in the process of initially merging his mental energy with Jian Lan's, and he couldn't spare any attention.
In the next second, both of them almost simultaneously used their Mental Force Scan ability, and in an instant, the internal structure of this spaceship under their feet was gradually revealed in their "sight".
1 kilometer, 2 kilometers, 5 kilometers... 10 kilometers, 15 kilometers... Found it!
Finally, at a location about 20 kilometers away from the main control room, inside some storage facility, they suddenly felt an unusual obstruction.
Immediately, Wu Xian used Jian Lan's assistance to launch a powerful mental force towards the place where the obstruction was located.
In the next second, he saw a nest filled with putrid secretions and dead crew members, as well as a seemingly laying eggs Alien Queen hidden within it.
Perhaps sensing the attention, the Alien Queen suddenly looked around and let out two shouts in the air. Then, from the walls coated with slime around her, a host of Aliens climbed down, acting as guards around her.
Among them, there were a few Alien bodies that were particularly strong, standing over 3 meters tall. They were obviously mutated beings specifically designed to protect the Alien Queen, and their strength was far beyond that of ordinary Aliens.
"Queen's Guards... With this number, even Zheng Zha, who has unlocked the second-level gene lock, might have been surrounded and killed."
Thinking this in his heart, Wu Xian let out a heavy breath, first helping Jian Lan stabilize the current mental scan range temporarily, then spoke solemnly to Chu Xuan, "We've found the position of the Alien Queen, but she has a difficult defense around her. Only I can resolve this in the short term."
"Also, there are other hidden Aliens scattered throughout the spaceship. Jian Lan has already locked onto their positions. In a while, I will let Friday mark their locations on the map."
"If... I mean, if, we haven't managed to deal with the Aliens before the spaceship returns to Earth, and implement your previous plan to blow it up.”
As he said this, Wu Xian turned to Zheng Zha, who had been restless on the side: "Zheng Zha, the task of dealing with these guys is up to you. Should be fine, right?"
"Of course!"
Zheng Zha smiled widely, as if his teeth were shining.
"Another split strategy?"
Chu Xuan pushed his glasses up and said, "In terms of the remaining time, this indeed is the best solution. With your strength, you can handle dealing with the Alien Nest alone, while Zheng Zha and other experienced people, along with Zero Point, go to clean up the Aliens hidden within the ship. There may be enough time."
"But there's still one problem... Jian Lan needs to constantly point out the positions of the hidden Aliens for everyone, which means she cannot join the battle. She can only stay in the main control room and convey messages through Friday. Therefore, we must leave a trusted fighter here."
That statement brought the atmosphere in the room to a silence once again.
Everyone in the room knew that once a primary mission failed, everyone here would lose 7000 reward points.
Apart from Wu Xian, no one could offset the negative points penalty after task failure. The current plan was to kill more Aliens to stay alive.
However, if it were according to Chu Xuan's suggestion, leaving one person in the main control room would mean giving up the chance to survive.
After all, time is tight. No one can guarantee that they will be able to complete the main mission before returning to Earth.
"Let me do it."
