In the Bone Gorge of the Alpha Frontier in 2198🏜️, scavenger Lin Ye rummaged through the wreckage of a crashed federal military experimental pod and found this cobalt-blue matte "Abyssal Symbiosis Hive Skull-Splitting Hunting Blade"🔪. The pod belonged to the Federation's 77th Tactical R&D Division, its alloy hull already mottled by alien sandstorms, and the experimental logs inside still had charred fragments: "Project Code 'Hive', blade body made of void crystal and bioceramic composite material, handle symbiosis texture can connect with tactical personnel's nerves to achieve high-frequency resonant cutting..."

As soon as Lin Ye gripped the dagger, the hive texture on the handle clung to the gaps between his knuckles like a living thing, and a faint electric current ran up his arm to the back of his neck🟦. He had thought this was just a defective prototype from the lab, until that night, when the roar of an aberration came from the sandstorm outside the camp🦠—it was a border hyena infected with alien spores, whose bone claws could easily tear through alloy armor.

Just as the aberration's claw was about to shatter his shield, Lin Ye clenched the dagger instinctively, and the serrations on the blade suddenly emitted a sharp high-frequency vibration, and a pale blue cutting wave instantly split the aberration's skull💥. He stared at the dagger in shock, only to find that the hive texture had burned a pale blue mark on his wrist, which was beating slowly with his pulse.

Back at the camp, he tried to use tools to remove the fitted texture of the handle, only to find that the texture had merged with his skin📱. At this moment, the black box in the experimental pod suddenly emitted a piercing beep, and a line of encrypted code popped up on the screen. After being parsed by his portable decryption terminal, the content made his blood run cold: "Symbiosis adaptation rate 92%, activate secondary command: guide host to alien mother hive coordinates, complete final blade charging..."

In the distant sandstorm, the roars of more aberrations were approaching, and Lin Ye's hand involuntarily clenched the cobalt-blue hunting blade, and the fluorescent veins on the blade were getting brighter and brighter📡.
