Starting from Prototype to Immortality

Chapter 36: Humans Are Strong

However, due to the immense force exerted by Chang Wei and his understanding of the Alien Queen's exceptional regenerative abilities—which far surpass those of ordinary aliens, to the point of recovering even when left with a single breath—although the Alien Queen's speed slowed, it still flew a considerable distance before crashing to the ground with a loud thud. Its entire body suffered multiple fractures, leaving it shattered and broken.

Despite this, the harsh Antarctic climate wasn't enough to sap the Alien Queen's vitality or freeze it. It quickly recovered, stood up, shook its head, and gazed toward the seabed. After a tense moment, the Alien Queen left.

It had set its sights on Chang Wei, this mysterious being. With such terrifying power, if used for reproduction, it could undoubtedly produce incredibly formidable aliens!

Chang Wei, in turn, dispatched micro-level Blacklight Virus particles to monitor the Alien Queen. Following this, Antarctica's wildlife faced a calamity—penguins, for instance.

In the icy wilderness of the Antarctic winter, the Alien Queen laid a massive number of alien eggs. The facehuggers that hatched subsequently attacked penguins and other creatures.

The resulting hybrid aliens gained stealth swimming capabilities and began preying on even more organisms.

Meanwhile, Chang Wei found the Lone Wolf's spaceship and encased it in Blacklight Virus to prevent the upcoming battles from damaging it. If no Predators showed up, Chang Wei intended to use this ship to head to the hunting grounds known to the Lone Wolf.

At the same time, humanity finally became aware of the aliens. In the United States, numerous recent reports of local residents disappearing and sightings of monsters were received.

The U.S., being aware of the existence of both Predators and aliens—thanks to the information brought back by the "governor" in the first film and the "City Hunter" Predator—became intrigued upon hearing reports of monster sightings.

Some within the U.S. proposed capturing the Predator, while others believed the situation had spiraled out of control and suggested using a nuclear bomb to obliterate everything.

"What era is this? Still thinking about nukes? Thermobaric bombs, infrasonic weapons, neutron bombs—any one of these can solve the problem."

In movies, nukes are often used due to restrictions, but reality is different.

"Our drones have captured footage showing the area has been completely overrun. Massive numbers of monsters are advancing toward other regions!"

An opponent of the capture plan exclaimed passionately. He had no interest in live specimens—he only wanted to eradicate these damn monsters. The consequences of letting them spread were unimaginable.

Seeing the shocking photos captured by drones, showing hordes of grotesque monsters, even those who wanted live captures and minimal destruction felt chills down their spines.

They knew the situation was severe but hadn't realized the extent of the crisis.

"How about napalm bombs?"

"No, that's not reliable enough. Use thermobaric bombs instead!"

"These creatures can hide in the sewers. Just use bunker-busting bombs and white phosphorus rounds—after all, they're monsters. No need to consider human rights."

...

Chang Wei then observed the spectacle of humanity waging war against aliens. Napalm bombs were deployed, instantly killing hundreds to thousands of aliens.

Even though the aliens' exoskeletons were resistant to rifle fire and they possessed tenacious vitality, humans had far more powerful weapons than rifles.

After a round of bombing, the aliens shifted tactics, opting for stealth and assassinations instead of reckless frontal assaults.

However, the U.S.'s military prowess shone through as it established defensive perimeters with life-detection equipment, floodlights illuminating the surroundings as brightly as daylight, heavy machine gun emplacements every five meters, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles equipped with machine cannons, and main cannons.

Above the soldiers, drones patrolled to prevent sneak attacks or unexpected situations, with armed drones ready to fire at a moment's notice.

"Although their mobility and elite forces can't compare to Blackwatch, with this level of equipment and weaponry, dealing with aliens shouldn't be an issue," Chang Wei's micro-level Blacklight Virus observed the arrangements and nodded in approval.

The most troublesome aspect of aliens is their stealth. Whether using infrared or other detection methods, they're hard to spot until they're too close.

But with hundreds of floodlights illuminating the area like daylight, where could they hide?

Not to mention the ever-watchful drones overhead.

If someone argued that aliens are fast, could they outrun supersonic bullets or escape the dense web of firepower where every square centimeter is hit by bullets? Could they evade fire control systems with automatic targeting, corrections, and lockdown capabilities?

As for their corrosive blood attacks? Drones could reduce them to shreds from a distance.

In the face of vehicle-mounted machine guns and cannons that can penetrate tanks, what chance did aliens stand?

Humans are strong, incredibly strong—especially when they take things seriously.

As a few aliens tried to approach, the fire control system immediately detected them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amid deafening roars that shook the air, the aliens didn't even have time to react before they were blasted into pieces.
