Blood splattered, and Chen Xiaolian's hand quickly retracted.
In his hand, he held a chunk of flesh the size of a fist, resembling an embryo, covered in constantly wriggling tentacles.
Though seemingly lacking any organ to produce sound, the moment Chen Xiaolian pulled it out, the embryo emitted a piercing scream from nowhere.
After being extracted, without any visible action from Chen Xiaolian, the embryo turned to ashes in his hand.
And the wound on Adrick's chest immediately began to heal.
"I..."
Just as Chen Xiaolian released his hand, Adrick saw a new prompt message in his Personal System.
[Instance prompt: Due to an unknown error, the Alien Embryo and its genes have been stripped, mission has been halted.]
At the same time, the connection between Adrick's body and the alien genes was abruptly severed.
"Alright, just find a place to wait. I will contact you after the instance ends."
