The hand holding the scalpel suddenly slid forward—

His scalpel, which could easily cut through iron like mud, only left a faint mark on this delicate hand, as faint as if it had been accidentally scratched by a piece of paper.

And as he removed his scalpel, the faint mark gradually disappeared.

"Little brother, your sincerity has greatly disappointed your older sister."

After speaking, the woman in red raised her delicate hand, which had just been cut by Zhang Beixing's scalpel, and placed it next to her red lips.

She stuck out her tongue and licked the back of her hand that had just been scratched, then looked up at Zhang Beixing with a seductive gaze.

Zhang Beixing stared intently at the red-clad woman's movements.

Zhang Beixing took two steps back, placed his right hand behind his back, and slightly hooked his finger, signaling Lu Lilong to throw the large black hammer he was holding over. Receiving Zhang Beixing's signal, Lu Lilong immediately and without hesitation threw the large black hammer in Zhang Beixing's direction.

The massive black hammer came hurtling through the air with a metallic clang—

Hearing the commotion behind him, Zhang Beixing stomped his right foot hard on the ground, using the momentum to leap into the air and catch the massive black hammer that came hurtling towards him with tremendous force. Gripping the hammer handle with both hands, he threw it forcefully in the direction the hammer was originally going, smashing it down on the woman in red again.

Seeing Zhang Beixing's arrogant demeanor, the woman in red knew that if she didn't defeat Zhang Beixing, she probably wouldn't have any chance to negotiate.

A cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes, she let out a cold snort, and moved swiftly.

He stood up and spun around, using the momentum of his body to kick the hammer that was hitting him away with a horizontal kick of his left foot.

Zhang Beixing gripped the black sledgehammer tightly with both hands, managing to catch the kick from the woman in red.

It felt like a mountain had suddenly crashed down on the hammer in his hands; his hands, gripping the hammer with all his might, were trembling slightly. This woman's body was practically an ancient tortoise shell!

After being kicked in mid-air by the woman in red, Zhang Beixing, who had already lost his balance, decided to go all out and hurled the black hammer in his hand at the woman in red.

The woman in red quickly dodged to the side.

Right now—

Zhang Beixing pulled out his scalpel and attacked the woman in red again.

The woman in red couldn't dodge in time and raised her right arm to meet the attack.

The scalpel sliced ​​across the woman in red's right arm, and Zhang Beixing suddenly kicked her away!

The woman in red, who had been kicked out, landed awkwardly on the ground.

Then she slowly stood up from the ground, her movements leisurely, even giving people a sense of composure, but when she raised her eyes, her originally charming eyes, which were full of shimmering light, carried a hint of something indescribable.

Andy, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation on the field, felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the woman in red act.
Damn, I have a feeling she's about to unleash a powerful attack from a big boss!

The woman in red had a large hole cut in the right arm of her clothes during her fight with Zhang Beixing.

Although his body was very tough and could withstand Zhang Beixing's attacks, his clothes were fragile.

Seeing the hole in her carefully protected clothes, cut by Zhang Beixing's scalpel, she lightly brushed the fabric aside and spoke to Zhang Beixing in a sarcastic tone:
"You ruined my sister's pretty clothes, so—"

Give yourself to your sister as compensation!

As soon as she finished speaking, she vanished from the spot on her own.

Zhang Beixing quickly calculated in his mind: This woman is strong and fast, she will definitely choose to attack quietly at close range.

A faint whooshing sound came from the air.

Zhang Beixing suddenly pushed to the right, turned his body to the right, and took the black sledgehammer that had fallen to the ground.

With a clang, the woman in red transformed her right hand into a blade, slashing it at the black hammer in Zhang Beixing's hand.

Zhang Beixing gripped the black sledgehammer in his right hand and slid it down along her force.

The woman in red unleashed a full-force attack, the power of which she could no longer control—

Zhang Beixing gripped the black sledgehammer tightly with both hands.

With a "crack," Zhang Beixing followed the direction of the red-clad woman's downward force and slammed his hammer upwards.

The four mosquitoes who witnessed the whole thing saw this scene and quickly raised their hands to support their chins, feeling a sharp pain in their teeth!

After squatting on the ground for a while, perhaps having adjusted her mindset, the woman in red, with her back to Zhang Beixing and his group, slowly straightened up, raised her hands, and made continuous movements. From behind, it was unclear what she was applying to her face.

When she turned to face Zhang Beixing and the others again, she had regained her beautiful appearance from when they first met, except that her chin was slightly red.

Zhang Beixing knew perfectly well how powerful his hammer blow had been.

While it might not be able to shatter the hardest diamond in the world, it could certainly grind large rocks into powder.

The hammer struck the woman in red in the face, and she had clearly heard the sound of bones cracking.

Is she still human? Does this level of technology really exist in the world?

The woman in red looked coldly at Zhang Beixing.

Andy, standing behind, couldn't help but speak up:

"Has the low-health boss entered a berserk state?"

Seeing that the battle was going badly, the quick-witted Mosquito ran behind Zhang Beixing, took out a syringe filled with black liquid, and shoved it into Zhang Beixing's hand.

The mosquito, filled with terror, spoke rapidly:

"This is a gene-resistance agent, developed from several of us."

He glanced up at the eerie woman in red ahead, then said, "I don't know if it'll work, but you can try it. If..."

Before she could finish speaking, the woman in red had already pounced on the crowd.

Zhang Beixing grabbed the syringe and rushed toward the woman in red.

When Zhang Beixing fought the woman in red again, he felt that her strength had increased even more than before.

The two fought repeatedly, evenly matched, teetering on the brink of life and death.

Zhang Beixing said, "Sister in red, why do I feel like you've been incredibly passionate towards me since we met?"

The woman in red dodged Zhang Beixing's fatal blow to her head, and slightly parted her red lips:

"You're carrying core technology from another planet, how could I not be tempted?" Her gaze was fixed on Zhang Beixing, filled with covetousness, and her attacks became even more ferocious.

Zhang Beixing's eyes flashed; as expected, she had come for the system.

With a loud crash, the two accidentally smashed some kind of reagent tube during their fight, drenching them both with a large amount of unknown liquid. Surprisingly, this unknown liquid, when mixed together, had makeup-removing properties.

The disguise that Zhang Beixing had been wearing for several days was completely washed away, revealing his original handsome appearance.

The woman in red who was also drenched with him had her heavy makeup removed by the sudden liquid, revealing her originally plain and ordinary face.

In a flash, a nerve in Kiko's brain suddenly clicked, her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her hands, terrified.

Actually, as soon as Kiko entered, she felt that the woman in red looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was.

Now that she has removed her makeup, the fog that had been obscuring her vision has suddenly been lifted.

Kiko cried out in alarm:

"She is Li Lan! The scientist who first proposed the gene project fifty years ago!"

As soon as Kiko spoke up, Mosquito and Andy instantly knew who the woman was. For the past ten years, they had been desperately researching a cure for their own problems.

The most studied research is that of Li Lan, because her research conclusions are very similar to her own situation.

I originally wanted to visit this scientist, but after making inquiries, I learned that he had disappeared after proposing the gene project.

So that's where she ran.

What shocked Mosquito and the others the most was that she looked exactly the same as in the photo from fifty years ago.

For some reason, the issue of her identity elicited a strong reaction from Li Lan.

Being recognized greatly stimulated Li Lan, causing her to become distracted during her fight with Zhang Beixing. This distraction revealed a major flaw in her defense.

Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Beixing immediately injected Li Lan directly into her neck with the syringe in his hand.

As the black liquid entered Li Lan's body, half of her body rapidly degenerated and aged, quickly returning to its original appearance for her age.

Upon noticing the changes in her body, Li Lan immediately pulled the syringe out of her neck. Seeing the black liquid inside, she knew exactly what it was.

He was actually dealt a fatal blow by a tiny ant that he had never even looked at!
He looked up, his eyes fixed on the mosquitoes and the others with a frenzied gaze, appearing almost insane.
"I'll kill you all, I'll kill you all, I'll make you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Beixing kicked her to the ground. This time, she never got up again.

Zhang Beixing calmly said, "Tie her up."

Upon hearing this, the four mosquitoes rushed over. Lu Lilong found a rope from somewhere and tied Li Lan up tightly.

After easily subduing Li Lan, Mosquito and the others all looked at Zhang Beixing with burning eyes.

Zhang Beixing glanced at his companions, whose eyes were blazing with anger, and stuck his tongue into his left cheek.

Inside the vast space, many people in protective suits were bustling about. Even after Li Lan was subdued by Zhang Beixing, it didn't cause the slightest ripple, as if these people had been stripped of their souls and turned into mere tools who only knew how to bury themselves in experiments.

It's time to clean up the mess!
Andy blinked. He understood, of course. Under Zhang Beixing's leadership, they had defeated the biggest boss here, and now it was time to distribute the rewards.

He winked at Mosquito and the other two several times, but they didn't react at all, thinking he had a twitching eyelid.

Zhang Beixing's smile vanished, replaced by a businesslike demeanor, as he solemnly addressed the group of people, each with their own agendas:
“I don’t care what your purpose is in coming here—whether it’s for the antidote to the gene serum or something else. Everything you scavenge in this space will eventually have to be reviewed by me, and our spoils will be distributed uniformly.”

Upon hearing this, Andy and his group nodded hurriedly. They all knew perfectly well that without Zhang Beixing, they probably wouldn't have even been able to get in the door.

Even if Zhang Beixing were to propose taking everything for himself, they wouldn't dare utter a word, especially since Zhang Beixing was only asking for centralized distribution.

Zhang Beixing's gaze swept over the faces of Mosquito, Kiko, Andy, and Lu Lilong. Seeing that they had put aside their various schemes, he waved his hand and let them go to loot the spoils.

With the dimensional space at his disposal, Zhang Beixing could actually drive away the mosquitoes and the others, and then take everything inside for himself.

However, in the end, the mosquito repellent did indeed play a significant role, and Zhang Beixing couldn't bring himself to betray his trust and abandon his promise.

The mosquitoes have been studying this place for decades, and I'm sure they'll find something that will surprise them.

Zhang Beixing's gaze shifted to Li Lan, who was bound hand and foot on the ground.

I have more important things to do.

After the mosquitoes dispersed, Zhang Beixing walked straight towards Li Lan.

At this moment, Li Lan was no longer the stunning beauty she had first appeared to be. She was tightly bound with rope by Lu Lilong, and her entire body was thrown to the ground like a silkworm cocoon.

Half of his body appeared to be in a state of advanced age, which was quite shocking at first glance.

Li Lan looked utterly hopeless, completely unmoved even when she clearly heard Zhang Beixing's approaching footsteps.

"You're not the real Li Lan, are you?"

Zhang Beixing stepped back on one leg, slowly squatted down, and asked when his gaze met Li Lanping's.

Upon hearing this, Li Lan, who had been motionless like a corpse, suddenly began to struggle violently.

She looked up at Zhang Beixing's eyes, one clear and the other cloudy. The clear eye held not only resentment but also a sense of relief that came with experience.

The other cloudy eye, after an extreme struggle, finally became completely confused.

"Or, to be more precise, you are Li Lan who was possessed by that alien. The will that was in control of this body before was the consciousness of Planet Y, right? Because of the antidote provided by Mosquito and the others, the body has been completely awakened to the real Li Lan, which is why you have become like this."

Zhang Beixing then probed further.

This woman carries too many secrets; he must find out the truth about them.

Otherwise, regardless of which country controls this woman in the future, the impact on the world order will be enormous. If not handled properly, it could lead to a new world war.

In fact, ever since Zhang Beixing entered this space and saw the Huaxia wooden door, the main building of the tower, and Li Lan's appearance, which should not have appeared, he had a vague suspicion in his mind.

Later, Li Lan's physical reaction after injecting the gene antidote given by the mosquito, and her emotional fluctuations upon hearing her own words, further confirmed this hypothesis.

Now that he had confirmed this information, Zhang Beixing thought to himself: The world is truly vast, and there will always be things beyond one's imagination. Never underestimate anyone, and always maintain a sense of awe for this world.

When Li Lan spoke, her voice already carried a hoarseness born of age:

"So what if I am, and so what if I am not?" His tone carried a sense of resignation and despair. (End of Chapter)
