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

A muffled thunderous roar echoed from the dark doorway.

Broken bricks and iron filings fell from the ceiling, crashing against the steel plates with a clanging sound.

Li Haotian turned his head to the side and brushed the dust off his shoulder.

"Big Pillar, let's retreat! This wave of stats is off the charts!"

Su Wan's voice screamed through the earpiece, the electrical interference sound piercing the ears.

"Why are you leaving? We haven't even been reimbursed for the gas yet."

Li Haotian stared at the mountain of flesh that emerged from the shadows, his right hand reaching for the bronze dagger at his waist.

The heavy footsteps pounded on the metal floor, each one carrying a distinct vibration.

A monster nearly four meters tall smashed through the door frame and bent over to crawl into the core laboratory.

The guy was covered in purple pustules, each as big as a ball, trembling with his breathing.

Countless eyeballs of varying sizes grew from the crevices of the abscess, all with murky, deep purple pupils.

"Did Han Dehai weld a pig farm and a chemical plant together?"

Li Haotian exhaled a breath of stale air and then tightened the purple cocoon on his back.

The monster, codenamed "Tank," would cause a section of the steel plate on the ground to collapse with every step it took.

"Li Haotian, enjoy this gift!"

Han Dehai's voice echoed wildly in the cellar through the remaining loudspeaker.

"This is the perfect war machine; it feels no pain, only the instinct to kill!"

The tank roared, causing the surrounding test tubes to shatter.

It casually grabbed a two-ton scrapped centrifuge from the side.

The machine was like a brick in its bony palm, held high above its head.

"Go to hell!"

The centrifuge, with a piercing whistling sound, hurtled towards Li Haotian's head.

Li Haotian didn't back down, he didn't even blink.

He slammed his feet into the ground, bent his knees slightly, and used his waist and hips to generate power.

"Big Pillar, get out of here!"

Su Wan's shout hadn't even finished.

Li Haotian's right hand was already outstretched, his five fingers firmly gripping the incoming metal casing.

The impact traveled up his arm to the ground, and the concrete beneath his feet instantly shattered.

"Is that all the energy you have?"

Li Haotian looked up and gave the tank a cold smile.

Using the machine's momentum, he spun around three times in place.

Golden-red energy spun out in a fiery circle from his toes.

"Here you go!"

The heavy centrifuge flew out of my hands, three times faster than before.

Tank's large, fan-like hands hadn't even had time to close.

The machine struck precisely on its head, which was made up of a mass of fleshy folds.

"Pfft!"

Blood plasma mixed with purple mucus sprayed all over the wall.

The tank's nose was smashed directly into its cavity by this monstrous force.

Its massive body swayed and fell backward like a wall.

The sound of the impact on the ground shook the entire cannery.

"Brother Dazhu... your strength is inhuman."

Su Wan swallowed hard on the other end of the line, her fingers pausing for two seconds as she typed.

"I'm a legitimate food delivery driver; I've trained in strength."

Li Haotian shook his wrist, staring at the still twitching corpse.

The tank's back suddenly exploded, and countless purple pustules spewed out thick smoke.

The smoke wasn't fire, but tiny, living spores.

"Hold your breath! These are parasitic spores of a mirror-image organism!"

Su Wan reminded her urgently.

"Laboratory monitoring records show that if an ordinary person inhales just one pill, they will suffer brain death within one second and turn into a zombie!"

The purple smoke spread rapidly, like a large net, completely enveloping the core area.

The oxygen concentration in the air is decreasing sharply.

Li Haotian could smell a mixture of rotten lilies and salted fish.

"This tastes nowhere near as good as Lao Gan Ma."

He snorted coldly, and the golden light deep within his pupils began to spread outward from his eye sockets.

He took a deep breath, his chest bulging, and then stomped heavily into the void in front of him.

"Disperse!"

A golden-red wave of energy emanated from him and surged outwards like a tsunami.

The purple spores that approached him made a slight popping sound the moment they came into contact with the air blast.

The intense heat and the oppressive aura of the bloodline instantly cleansed the air within a hundred meters radius.

Where the golden flames swept, the purple smoke dissipated.

Li Haotian casually pulled the small cocoon of light behind his back, and a gentle golden flame emanated from his palm.

"Don't let these dirty things get your clothes dirty."

He wiped the surface of the cocoon with his hand, obliterating the last few remaining purple specks.

Deep in the corridor, the emergency lights that had been turned off came on again.

The chilling sense of being watched did not disappear; instead, it became even more intense.

Li Haotian pushed open the rickety iron door at the end of the conveyor belt.

The room contained hundreds of glass petri dishes, each three meters tall.

In the pale green nutrient solution, there were faces that Li Haotian knew all too well.

Aged, sinister, with a morbid sense of control over everything.

"Han Dehai?"

Li Haotian stopped and glanced at the rows of floating corpses.

These clones look exactly alike, even down to the depth of the wrinkles on their faces.

They were naked, with black tubes inserted into their chests.

"Brother Dazhu, my signal is down. Someone is forcibly cutting off the internal network!"

Su Wan's voice became intermittent.

"Watch out, their brainwaves are...synchronizing!"

The voice just fell.

The hundreds of Han Dehais who were soaking in the jars opened their eyes at the same time.

There was no white in his eyes, only pure purple flames burning in his pupils.

Hundreds of eyes were fixed on Li Haotian's figure.

They opened their mouths inside the glass case, silently making the same mouth shape.

"Help me."

Li Haotian felt a chill run down his spine.

"Boss Han, your hobby is quite unique. You've assembled two reinforced companies for yourself?"

He joked, but the dagger in his hand was already held horizontally in front of his chest.

The purple liquid in those tubes began to flow faster.

A faint cracking sound came from the glass cover.

"Dazhu...help me..."

A faint sound came from the jar closest to him.

Li Haotian looked over and discovered that the clone's skin was aging rapidly.

"They are sharing life!"

Su Wan restored a weak connection.

"These clones are batteries; Han Dehai's real body is absorbing their energy!"

Which one is true?

Li Haotian took a step forward and kicked an empty container, shattering it.

"All of them, and none of them."

Hundreds of clones spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping.

It's like thousands of crows cawing in your ear.

The middle row of petri dishes suddenly exploded.

The nutrient solution flowed down the floor to Li Haotian's feet, leaving a sticky feeling.

Five clones walked out barefoot, their movements stiff yet swift.

Their fingers stretched rapidly in the air, transforming into five jet-black bone blades.

"Han Dehai, don't you get tired of playing these tricks?"

Li Haotian slightly shifted his body, avoiding the first thrust of the bone blade.

He grabbed the clone's wrist with his right hand and pulled hard.

"Click!"

He ripped off the clone's entire arm.

No blood flowed out; only twisted black veins were visible at the cut.

"Here, I am God."

The remaining clones roared in unison.

They gathered into a circle, trapping Li Haotian in the core area.

A ring of purple electrodes descended from the ceiling.

A powerful electric current converged in mid-air, condensing into a giant sphere of light.

"A lightning array?"

Li Haotian looked up at the energy ball that seemed poised to fall at any moment.

"Did the Zhao family pay your electricity bill?"

He slammed his right foot on the floor, and the cocoon of light behind him trembled uneasily.

Lin Mo's voice rang out from inside the cocoon of light, carrying a scream of enraged anger.

Several fine cracks appeared on the surface of the purple cocoon.

The aura originating from the "mother" began to overflow wildly.

The surrounding clones were actually trembling.

They all took a half step back in unison, letting out fearful whimpers from their throats.

"You're scared already?"

Li Haotian smirked and slammed the golden light from his palm into the cocoon of light behind him.

"It's not your turn to step in yet, so stay put."

He forcefully suppressed Lin Mo's rampage.

Immediately afterwards, he took to the air.

He threw a seemingly ordinary punch at the huge purple orb above his head.

"I'll take you home!"

The golden fist wind collided with the purple thunderstorm.

The entire underground factory burst into a dazzling white light at that moment.

The high-voltage current, powerful enough to burn a tank to scrap metal, crumbled layer by layer under Li Haotian's fist.

Li Haotian passed through the aftershocks of the explosion and landed heavily on the ground.

He stared at the dark figure hiding deep within the petri dish forest.

There sat a withered old man whose tubes hadn't been removed yet.

That was Han Dehai's true identity.

"Boss Han, it's time to settle the bill."

Li Haotian twirled the dagger between his fingers.

Han Dehai remained silent.

He simply stretched out his hand and pointed to the floor beneath Li Haotian's feet.

On the floor, a huge purple array drawn with blood was taking shape.

Li Haotian looked down at the complex symbol.

A heavy pulling sensation climbed up my ankle.

"The mirror gate is open."

Han Dehai revealed a strange smile.

His body withered rapidly, eventually turning into a skin as thin as a cicada's wing.

Li Haotian felt his feet sink into the ground.

The entire core laboratory looked like it had been thrown into a blender.

Space is distorted, and colors are peeling away.

"Big Brother Zhu! Run! The space is collapsing!"

Su Wan's last scream was completely drowned out by the static.

Li Haotian hugged the cocoon of light behind him tightly.

He looked at the shattered scene around him, but there was no fear in his eyes.

"Where do you want to take me?"

He faced the void and suddenly thrust the dagger in his hand.

The purple light devoured everything.

When Li Haotian opened his eyes again.

What he saw was no longer a rusty cannery.

Instead, there was a blood-red sky and a wasteland covered with piles of bones.

At his feet.

The enormous purple array was still slowly rotating.

"The daifuku has been delivered."

He patted the cocoon of light on his back, the sound echoing across the wasteland.

"Who will sign for it next?"

From behind the distant Bone Mountain came a roar even heavier than that of a tank.

ground.

It started to crack.
