The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

The fishing boat suddenly rocked on the sea.

Li Haotian gripped the slippery gunwale, looking at the thick, impenetrable black clouds over the high seas.

"Boss! Something's wrong!"

Su Wan shouted in the cramped hold.

She rushed onto the deck clutching the hot miniature terminal.

The waveform on the screen is operating at a frenzied frequency.

"The beacon signal has dropped; it's not on the seabed anymore, it's gone into the city!"

Su Wan shoved the screen right in front of Li Haotian.

The red dot representing the purple bead is currently located in the busiest downtown area of ​​Donghai City.

It remained at that coordinate point, motionless.

"The Lin Group?"

Li Haotian stared at the five words on the screen.

His brows furrowed into a knot.

"These guys are messing with us, deliberately leading us out to sea."

He turned his head and looked at the boss who was smoking a pipe.

"Return to port."

The boss exhaled a puff of smoke, looking somewhat hesitant.

"These waves won't wait for us. If we turn back now, the fuel costs won't be cheap."

Without wasting words, Li Haotian pulled out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and threw them onto the deck.

"Drive as fast as you can, and the money's yours."

The boss's eyes lit up like searchlights when he saw money.

He pulled the engine rope sharply.

The fishing boat emitted a muffled roar, forcefully turning a corner on the sea and stirring up a three-meter-high wave.

"Lin Group, Lin Qingwan."

Li Haotian leaned against the ship's railing, murmuring the two names.

He had seen in the documents left by General Manager Xu that the Lin family were the local tyrants of Donghai City.

"Investigate this Lin family."

Su Wan's fingers danced across the keyboard.

"We found out. Lin Qingwan is the only daughter of the current chairman and is currently recruiting a bodyguard."

"They said it was to protect her so she could attend tomorrow's international trade summit."

She looked up, a hint of cunning in her eyes.

"Boss, Mr. Xu has a letter of recommendation. We can sneak in."

The fishing boats docked just as dawn was breaking.

Li Haotian changed into a faded casual outfit and stood outside the iron gate of the Lin family manor.

This place is ridiculously large, and the lawn is manicured like a green carpet.

A row of black cars were parked in front of the main building.

Dozens of burly men were already standing there.

They were all dressed in suits and ties, wearing sunglasses, and standing ramrod straight.

Li Haotian mingled among them, looking like a lost migrant worker.

"Name."

A butler carrying a folder walked over.

"Li Dazhu was recommended by Boss Xu."

Li Haotian handed over the crumpled letter of recommendation.

The butler pinched the envelope between his fingertips with disdain and glanced at it.

"Go to the back of the line and don't block the way for our VIPs."

Li Haotian moved to the very back of the line.

He could feel a dozen scrutinizing eyes scanning him from all sides.

Those gazes were filled with disdain and hostility.

"Hey, these days, even beggars are trying their luck?"

A deep, muffled voice sounded from the side.

Li Haotian didn't look up.

The speaker was a giant man over two meters tall.

The guy was wearing a tight camouflage vest, and the muscles on his arms looked like several iron balls buried under his skin.

He had a centipede-like scar on his neck.

"What are you looking at? I'm talking to you, you skinny monkey."

The giant snorted and took a step toward Li Haotian.

His leather boots made a dull thud as they stepped on the blue bricks.

"I am Lei Bao, a retired instructor from the Southern Territory."

Lei Bao stared down at Li Haotian's head as if he were looking at a defective product.

"This kind of bodyguard interview isn't something a nobody like you can handle."

Li Haotian glanced at him sideways.

"Should we hire bodyguards or animals? Being big doesn't mean being useful."

A burst of laughter erupted from the surrounding area.

Lei Bao's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

He extended a finger as thick as a carrot and placed it on Li Haotian's collarbone.

"You're pretty stubborn."

"Believe it or not, I'll twist your head off right now and use it as a football!"

Li Haotian stood still, his body not even swaying.

He looked into Lei Bao's eyes, his tone calm.

"I'll give you three moves."

"If you can push me even half a step away, I'll leave."

Lei Bao felt like he had heard the biggest joke of the century.

He took two steps back and stretched his wrists.

The knuckles made a crackling sound like firecrackers.

"You asked for this. Don't blame me if you break your bones."

Lei Bao took a deep breath.

His chest bulged high.

"First move!"

He stepped forward and delivered a powerful, heavy punch straight to Li Haotian's chest.

The punch was accompanied by a whistling sound.

The bodyguards watching instinctively shrank back.

Li Haotian turned slightly to the side.

The fist slid past his clothes.

"Not full?"

Li Haotian stood still, without even raising his hand.

Lei Bao roared.

He followed up with a spinning kick, sweeping it heavily towards Li Haotian's waist.

This is a sure-kill move.

Li Haotian jumped half a meter high on the spot.

The leg swept past, leaving a blur, and shattered a decorative flowerpot behind it.

"That's the second move."

Li Haotian's voice remained unchanged.

Lei Bao has completely lost his mind.

He spread his arms and pounced on Li Haotian like a bear.

This is a takedown in special combat.

If he locks you up, even a cow will have its ribs broken.

A golden light flashed in Li Haotian's eyes.

A split second before Lei Bao closed his arms, he slipped through the gap like an eel.

Lei Bao used too much force, slapping his two large hands together, which made his own hands go numb.

"Third move."

Li Haotian has gained a firm foothold.

He slowly extended his right palm.

His movements looked slow, as if he were pushing a heavy wooden door.

"It's my turn."

He gently patted Lei Bao's belly.

To outsiders, it looked like a soft shove.

But at the very moment their palms touched.

The power of Li Haotian's bloodline exploded violently.

That power poured out from his palm.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

Lei Bao's more than 200-pound body looked as if it had been hit by a speeding truck.

His feet left the ground, and he flew out horizontally.

He drew a straight line in mid-air.

Finally, with a "bang," it was hung on the white marble screen wall in the distance.

A large section of the relief on the screen wall was smashed.

Lei Bao slid down the wall and lay limply on the ground.

His eyes widened, a gurgling sound came from his throat, and he fainted on the spot.

The entire room fell silent.

The bodyguards looked at Li Haotian as if he were a ghost.

No one dared to speak.

They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Slap, slap, slap."

A burst of applause came from the second-floor terrace.

Li Haotian raised his head.

A woman wearing a white silk dress stood by the railing on the second floor.

She was holding a cup of black coffee.

That's Lin Qingwan.

She was very clean-looking, even somewhat outstanding.

But her eyes held a chilling coldness, like a bottomless ancient well.

Lin Qingwan looked down at Li Haotian.

"The force was well controlled."

Her voice was clear and bright.

"What's your name?"

Li Haotian patted the dust off his hands.

"Uncle Li, oh no, Li Dazhu."

Lin Qingwan's lips curled up slightly.

The movement was very gentle.

"Come up here, you're hired."

The butler below was dumbfounded and quickly limped over to lead the way.

Li Haotian followed the butler into the main building.

This place is filled with priceless antiques and famous paintings.

A faint scent of sandalwood permeated the air.

He climbed the spiral staircase and arrived at the living room on the second floor.

Lin Qingwan was sitting on a chair made of golden nanmu wood.

She put down her coffee cup.

Upon closer inspection, this woman exudes a strong scholarly air.

But Li Haotian noticed that she had calluses on her finger joints.

Those are marks left from years of shooting or knife practice.

"That palm strike just now was no ordinary martial art."

Lin Qingwan stared into his eyes.

"Where are you from?"

Li Haotian stood there.

"He came from the mountains and learned a few of his family's traditional farming skills."

Lin Qingwan chuckled softly.

"A farmer can't move Lei Bao."

She stood up and walked up to Li Haotian.

The two were less than half a meter apart.

Lin Qingwan is very tall; the tip of her nose is almost level with Li Haotian's chin.

A cool, subtle fragrance wafted into Li Haotian's nostrils.

"Your eyes look like someone's."

Lin Qingwan said softly.

She bent down and pulled a thin string from her collar.

Something was hanging from the thin string.

It was a jade pendant that looked quite old.

The jade pendant is crescent-shaped and has an eerie bluish-red hue throughout.

Li Haotian's pupils suddenly contracted.

That's Lin Mo.

Before Lin Mo sacrificed himself, a blurry image remained in his consciousness.

In the picture, the woman in the red dress is holding this jade pendant in her arms.

Lin Mo once cried and said that this was her "sister's" only keepsake.

"Do you recognize this?"

Lin Qingwan keenly noticed the change in his expression.

Li Haotian suppressed the tremor in his heart.

"It's a pretty stone; it should be worth a lot of money."

He casually covered it up.

But his hand had unconsciously gripped the hilt of the dagger at his lower back.

Lin Qingwan stuffed the jade pendant back into her clothes.

Her fingertips traced that bluish-red hue.

"It's worthless, it eats people."

She turned around and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Pack your things, you're coming to the venue with me tomorrow."

"The pay is 100,000 yuan per month, and doubled if you perform well."

Li Haotian nodded.

"make a deal."

He walked out of the room and down the corridor.

His heart was pounding wildly in his chest.

The frequency of the pulsation resonated with that jade pendant.

He pressed the earpiece, his voice very low.

"Su Wan, the plan has changed."

"I saw that jade pendant."

Su Wan's exclamation came from the other end of the headset.

"What? On Lin Qingwan?"

Li Haotian walked out the gate and looked at the garden full of spring colors.

But he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

"She is not Lin Qingwan."

He uttered five words in a low voice.

"who is she?"

Su Wan asked.

Li Haotian looked at the sun gradually rising in the distance.

"She is the shadow of the mother."

He felt the bronze dagger at his lower back was slightly warm.

That was the fear one felt when facing a nemesis.

In the shadows of the manor, several figures in gray uniforms were quietly disappearing.

The war is not over.

It has only just begun.
