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

The black fleshy pillar wrapped around Li Haotian's wrist suddenly exerted force, and the countless eyes on it opened all at once.

It had a sticky, gooey feel, like being stuffed into a plastic bag full of dead fish.

The golden light that had been extinguished in Li Haotian's pupils instantly exploded into two swirling balls of fire upon being stimulated.

He flipped his right wrist, his palm pressed against that fleshy thing, and his skin instantly became burning hot.

Golden-red flames leaped from between his fingers, filling the air with the acrid smell of rotting lilies.

The fleshy pillar writhed wildly as if it had been doused with sulfuric acid, and the dozens of eyes on it burst out simultaneously from the excruciating pain.

Li Haotian's lips were tightly closed, and he slammed his left hand down on the bottom of the emerald green bottle of life dew.

The potion transformed into a dense green light, which he precisely slapped into Lin Mo's half-open mouth.

"Gulp."

Lin Mo's throat moved slightly, as if the purple veins that were about to cover his neck had met their nemesis.

The tiny tentacles burrowed under his skin in fear, and Lin Mo's tense body slowly relaxed.

"Haotian...no..."

She managed to squeeze out those two words, her eyelids twitched twice, and she fell into a complete coma.

The purple fleshy pillar twitched wildly in the corner, finally shrinking back through the hole in the collapsed ceiling.

The old voice disappeared, and only the old-fashioned alarm clock ticked away in the room.

Su Wan leaned on the newly welded mechanical leg, panting as she leaned against the counter, her face covered in dust.

"Boss, this medicine worked. She's out of danger, but the wrinkles in her brain are still growing."

Su Wan pointed to the gradually flattening wave on the screen, her tone tinged with lingering fear.

Li Haotian wiped the sweat from his forehead and casually tossed the empty glass bottle into the trash can.

"As long as she's alive, that's enough. As long as she's alive, I can dig out everything from her brain."

He walked behind the counter, picked up the rusty tweezers, and his eyes fell on the antique pocket watch that was not yet fully repaired.

Just then, a screeching sound of brakes suddenly came from the entrance of the village alley, and the smell of burning rubber could be smelled even through the door.

Immediately afterwards, the watch shop's already rickety roller shutter door was violently slammed open from the outside.

A woman in a white silk evening gown stumbled in.

Her hair was a mess, and she was only wearing one high heel. Her fair ankle had been cut in several places by broken glass.

"Help...help me! Help me!"

The woman's voice trembled as she entered the room, glancing around before finally fixing her gaze on the mahogany cabinet where Li Haotian repaired watches.

Before Li Haotian could speak, she ducked under the counter like a startled rabbit.

Li Haotian's hand holding the tweezers froze in mid-air as he looked down at the white lace huddled beside his legs.

"Hey lady, you've come to the wrong film set, haven't you? I only repair watches here, I don't take in refugees."

A woman's soft sobs came from under the counter, accompanied by the clacking sound of her teeth chattering.

"Please... don't make a sound, they'll kill me... I'll give you money, I have plenty of money!"

Su Wan frowned, put her hand on the wrench on her lower back, and tilted her head to look at the door.

Three burly men wearing black vests and with blue dragons and white tigers tattooed on their arms rushed in, carrying long knives.

The burly man leading the group had a face full of scars, and blood was still dripping from the machete in his hand.

He kicked a pile of broken alarm clocks, scattering the metal casings all over the ground with a jarring crash.

"Hey, you poor bastard, have you seen a girl in a white dress run in?"

The burly man pointed the tip of his knife at Li Haotian's nose, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.

Li Haotian didn't look up; with tweezers in his right hand, he carefully manipulated the hairspring inside the pocket watch.

"I didn't see it. There's a public restroom to the left after you go out. Maybe he's squatting there."

The burly man sneered, took two steps to the counter, and grabbed Li Haotian by the collar.

"I saw her disappear into this alley on the street. Your house was the only one with the door open."

His two henchmen behind him had already started ransacking the place, and even tried to pry open the cabinet where Lin Mo was lying.

"Hey guys, there's a Sleeping Beauty here too. She's got a real hottie, wanna grab her?"

One of the henchmen reached out and touched Lin Mo's face, but before his fingers even touched the skin, he felt the air cool down.

The tweezers in Li Haotian's hand flashed with a barely perceptible silver line under the light.

"Take your hand away, that area is dirty, I'm afraid she'll have an allergic reaction."

His voice was as calm as still water, and he didn't even tremble as he held the parts in his hands.

Enraged by these words, the burly man in the lead swung his machete down at the pocket watch in front of Li Haotian.

"Screw your watch! You're asking for it, aren't you?"

The machete drew an arc in the air, about to cleave the 20th-century pocket watch in two.

Li Haotian remained seated, but his wrist suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

He held the slender tweezers in his right hand and quickly made three circles in the air.

The movement was so fast it defied logic; only a very faint screech remained in the air.

"Clatter".

"Clatter".

"Clatter".

Three muffled thuds rang out simultaneously in the clock shop, in a very rhythmic manner.

The burly man's machete stopped two centimeters above the pocket watch. Due to the great inertia, he stumbled forward.

He was about to yell a curse when he suddenly felt a chill in his groin.

His designer crocodile leather belt, worth several thousand yuan, broke into four pieces at some point.

Immediately afterwards, the underling who tried to touch Lin Mo's face, and the henchman who was smashing things next to him, all froze on the spot.

Three pairs of black suit trousers, as if they had agreed beforehand, fell neatly and uniformly around his feet.

Three grown men, their lower bodies reduced to nothing but bare flesh and gaudy underwear, created an extremely comical scene.

"Hey guys, you're dressed pretty stylishly. Is this the new fashion trend in the southern suburbs?"

Su Wan couldn't help but chuckle, leaning against the wall to watch the show, her wrench spinning rapidly in her hand.

The burly man in the lead looked down at the pants lying on the ground, then at the neatly torn belt, and cold sweat trickled down his temples.

He was still holding a knife in his hand, but the tip of the knife was trembling incessantly.

He can cut three leather straps in a fraction of a second with watch repair tweezers without hurting a person's skin. With that skill, killing him is no different from killing a chicken.

"Who...who are you?"

The burly man trembled as he pulled up his pants, not even daring to pick up the knife from the ground.

Li Haotian finally put down the magnifying glass in his hand, lifted his eyelids and glanced at him.

"Is there a problem with a watch repairman who delivers takeout?"

He pointed to the door and said slowly, "Take your pants and get out. If you stay another second, it won't just be your belts that break."

The three burly men didn't dare utter a single fart. They scrambled out of the roller shutter door, pulling up their pants as they went.

The roar of the motorcycle filled the air, and it disappeared into the narrow alleys of the urban village in a few seconds.

The room fell silent again, and the white mass under the counter slowly twitched.

Lin Yuyan cautiously peeked out, looking at the empty hall with disbelief in her eyes.

She crawled out from under the counter, her knees covered in dust, but she didn't care about her appearance at that moment.

She stared intently at Li Haotian, as if he were a living god who had just descended to earth.

"What you just did...was that martial arts? Or supernatural ability?"

She was breathing heavily, her eyes darting back and forth between the pocket watch and Li Haotian's face.

Li Haotian ignored her and continued to worry about the pocket watch. "The case is broken, and we need to make a replacement right now."

Lin Yuyan took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision.

She shakily pulled a check from her sequined purse and slapped it onto the greasy counter.

"I am Lin Yuyan from the Lin family of Donghai. Here are five million. Take them."

Her voice was much clearer as she pointed to the check, "I'm hiring you as my temporary bodyguard, for three days only!"

Li Haotian tilted his head and glanced at the check with a string of zeros written on it, then looked at the woman's sweaty face.

He pursed his lips and pushed the check away. "No time. This pocket watch of mine is from the last century. I can't sleep until it's fixed."

Su Wan rolled her eyes as she listened, then walked over and tapped Li Haotian on the head.

"Boss, we have five million, enough to buy a cheap watch like this worth tens of thousands. Did you get your brain squeezed by that purple fleshy pillar?"

Seeing that Li Haotian didn't react, Lin Yuyan stomped her feet in frustration and threw off the remaining high heel.

"Five million isn't enough? Did you see that red Ferrari outside?"

She pointed to the glaringly red buttocks at the alley entrance, gritting her teeth as she said, "That's a limited edition, it's yours too!"

Li Haotian stopped fiddling with the gossamer threads, and slowly turned his head to stare at Lin Yuyan.

"Can you drive?" Lin Yuyan asked tentatively.

Li Haotian stood up, folded the check neatly in half, and stuffed it into the pocket of his tattered vest.

He casually picked up the bronze dagger from the counter and then touched the mechanical leg that Su Wan had just repaired.

"Boss, what time do we start work? Is lunch provided?"

Lin Yuyan was stunned for a moment, then a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Leave now. I have a trap set up at the Donghai Hotel. Those guys want to devour me alive."

Su Wan glanced at Lin Mo, who was still unconscious, and then at Li Haotian.

"Boss, should we take this girl? It's not safe here."

Li Haotian bent down, picked up Lin Mo, and gently placed her in his arms.

"Take it with you. Is the back seat of that Ferrari spacious?"

Lin Yuyan's lips twitched. "That car only has two seats... but I can take a taxi. You can drive the car."

Li Haotian swaggered out of the watch shop, carrying a pocket watch and a toolbox.

The sky outside was dark and oppressive, and the purple beam of light in the distance seemed to have grown even thicker.

The red Ferrari gleamed under the streetlights, an incongruous sight in this dilapidated urban village.

Li Haotian opened the car door, put Lin Mo and Su Wan inside, and then got into the driver's seat.

The oil-stained hand pressed down on the carbon fiber gear shift lever, the movement extremely rough.

"Is the shock absorption on this kind of car any good? This road is full of potholes."

Lin Yuyan leaned against the car window, still recovering from the emotions she had just experienced.

"What's your name? I need to know what my bodyguard's name is."

Li Haotian started the engine, and the roar of the V12 engine instantly drowned out the cicadas chirping around him.

"Li Dazhu".

He threw out a sentence, floored the accelerator, and the red lightning bolt executed a beautiful drift in the narrow alley.

The Ferrari roared off, startling several stray cats who scrambled onto the wall.

Lin Yuyan inhaled a mouthful of exhaust fumes from behind, and a complex look flashed in her eyes as she watched the taillights rapidly shrink.

Meanwhile, on a rooftop a few hundred meters away, a miniature drone was firmly locking onto the license plate.

"The maternal response is moving; target Lin Yuyan has come into contact with the number one danger source."

The radio waves pierced through the fog and reached the top of the tallest building in the center of Donghai City.

A dark figure sat in a leather chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, a cold light flashing behind his glasses.

"Since he likes being a bodyguard, let's prepare a few decent assassins for him."

The Ferrari sped along the highway, with Li Haotian holding the steering wheel with one hand and his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror.

Several black Chevrolets were merging from the side road, like a group of sharks that had smelled blood.

"Su Wan, look at those dogs behind you, whose are they?"

Su Wan fiddled with the terminal in her hand, the mechanical legs making a regular clicking sound as the car body swayed.

"It's neither the Zhao family nor the Han family. The signal source is encrypted; it looks like it's from overseas."

Li Haotian's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

"From overseas? That's great, you don't have to apologize if you break it."

He slammed the gearshift lever down, and the red Ferrari began to weave wildly through traffic.

The Chevrolet behind suddenly accelerated, rolled down its window, and pointed a dark gun barrel at the Ferrari's tires.

"Bang!"

Flames exploded in the night, but Li Haotian seemed to have anticipated the trajectory of the bullets.

He braked hard and then floored the accelerator in the opposite direction, causing the front of the car to veer sideways, thus avoiding a fatal blow.

"Hold on tight, I'm about to show you something really difficult."

The Ferrari crashed through the roadside guardrail and drove directly into a construction site for an elevated bridge.

At the end of the unclosed bridge surface lies a giant pit thirty meters deep.

"Boss! Are you crazy? That's a dead end!"

Su Wan screamed and gripped the seatbelt tightly, her voice trembling with fear.

Li Haotian stared at the broken edge ahead, the golden flames deep in his pupils flickering more fiercely than an engine.

"Who says it's a dead end? It's the takeoff point."

He slammed his hand on the instrument panel, and a ball of pure energy flowed directly into the vehicle's system through his palm.

Two golden fire whirls suddenly burst into flame beneath the Ferrari's tires.

The car body drew an amazing arc in mid-air, spanning a distance of fifty meters.

The Chevrolet below plunged headfirst into the crater, and a fireball shot into the sky.

Li Haotian landed the Ferrari smoothly, and apart from a little smoke coming out of the chassis, not even the paint was chipped.

He took out the still-unrepaired pocket watch from his pocket with one hand and checked the time against the moon.

"It's almost eight o'clock. Looks like we can make it to Miss Lin's dinner."

Hook: What is Lin Yuyan's real purpose in hiring Li Haotian? What are those assassins with overseas backgrounds looking for? Lin Mo in the Ferrari suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils were a deathly black.
