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

The two-meter-diameter tentacle slammed down in front of Li Haotian, causing shards of porcelain to jump three feet high.

The single eye at the tip of the tentacle dripped purple slime, and Li Haotian's calm face was reflected in its pupil.

"Li Haotian, since you're seeking death, I'll grant your wish."

The voice of "boss" overlapped among the group of human-faced tentacles.

Dozens of faces spoke at the same time, their voices echoing loudly in the empty restaurant.

Li Haotian turned his head to the side, dodging a glob of purple pus that splashed towards him.

He gripped the bronze dagger in his other hand, the heat from the hilt causing the air to distort slightly.

"Boss, you've chosen a pretty unique transformation."

"Are you planning to shoot a documentary in the sea with all those octopus tentacles?"

Li Haotian took a step forward, his leather shoes making a screeching sound as they stomped on the broken glass.

The faces on the tentacles suddenly stopped twisting, their expressions turning extremely crazed.

"What do you know?"

"This is evolution, the greatest gift bestowed upon us by the mirror civilization!"

One of the tentacles, bearing the face of a boss, suddenly sprang up, like a venomous snake biting at Li Haotian's throat.

Li Haotian stood still, then suddenly flicked his right hand upwards.

The golden-red flames drew an arc in the air.

Before the tentacle could even touch Li Haotian's clothes, it was cleanly severed in the middle.

A large amount of purple smoke was ejected from the cross-section, which was then ignited by the high temperature.

"ah--"

Dozens of mouths screamed simultaneously, and the frequency of the screams shattered all the windows in the restaurant.

"That's a really awful way to shout."

Li Haotian rubbed his ears and glanced into the corner.

Lin Mo was squatting behind the load-bearing column, his hands pressed against his ears, muttering something.

Seeing that Lin Mo was unharmed, his irritation subsided slightly.

"Brother Dazhu, we've detected energy outage in the core module!"

Su Wan's voice in the headset was shrill, like fingernails scratching a blackboard.

"This madman has locked his own field of consciousness and the entire island's nuclear fusion reactor."

"That's quantum-level synchronization. As soon as his vital signs disappear, the reactor will instantly overload."

"That explosion would make the continental shelf beneath our feet tremble."

After listening, Li Haotian twirled the dagger in his hand.

He looked up at the mountain of purple tentacles, a strange smile curving his lips.

"Boss, did you hear what Su Wan said just now?"

"She praised you for having a good idea and even came up with a 'burial package' (a package to accompany you in death)."

A purple figure slowly rose, surrounded by tentacles, and fragments of monocles assembled on his face.

"Since you know that, you'd better hand over the mother body obediently."

"I am the reactor, and the reactor is me!"

"If you dare to kill me, this island, along with everyone on it, will become the most spectacular fireworks display in this sea."

The boss's voice carried a twisted sense of pleasure.

He felt he had found Li Haotian's Achilles' heel.

After all, what these self-proclaimed righteous people fear most is the injury or death of innocent people.

Li Haotian sighed and casually shoved the dagger behind his back.

"You've made a big deal by having the people of La Yi Island buried with you."

"I hate this kind of forced buying and selling the most."

He slowly walked towards Lin Mo, squatted down, and patted the gravel off her head.

"MoMo, are you still hungry?"

Lin Mo shook her head, her small hand gripping Li Haotian's sleeve.

"I'm not hungry, it's just the smell inside that big ball that's awful."

She pointed deep underground, her eyes showing a hint of disgust.

"Okay, you sit here for a while, I'm going to take care of some trash."

Li Haotian shoved the last half bottle of orange juice into her hand.

He stood up, and suddenly his whole being became like a drawn sword.

As the boss watched Li Haotian's actions, that ominous premonition resurfaced.

"Li Haotian! What do you want to do?"

"Don't move! The countdown will start the moment I change my mind!"

Li Haotian ignored him and just smiled at the camera on the ceiling.

"Su Wan, keep an eye on Lin Mo for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Haotian's figure flickered strangely in place.

"Bang!"

The restaurant floor was blown open, leaving a crater the size of a washbasin.

That's a sonic boom caused by the air being violently compressed due to the extremely high speed.

The boss's dozens of purple eyes couldn't detect Li Haotian's movements at all.

Where are they?

"Where is he?!"

The tentacles started sweeping around like madmen, completely demolishing the already dilapidated restaurant to the ground.

A second passed, and all that could be heard was the muffled sound of seawater rushing in.

Two seconds passed, and the boss felt his energy body inexplicably shake.

The third second.

A beam of golden-red light suddenly shot out from the hole in the restaurant floor.

Li Haotian reappeared in the same spot, his hair perfectly styled.

But in his left hand, there was something that made everyone's heart stop.

It was a spherical device with a diameter of about three meters.

The outer shell is made of dark gold alloy and is covered with densely packed blue luminous tubes.

These pipes are constantly contracting and expanding, just like they are breathing.

A deep humming sound emanated from inside the sphere, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

That is the core of the abyss island's power source—the nuclear fusion reactor core.

"Brother Dazhu...you took it out?"

Su Wan lost her voice directly in the earpiece.

On her computer screen, all the alarm curves instantly jumped to zero.

This is simply an impossible operation.

This core weighs hundreds of tons and is connected to countless high-voltage lines and superconducting pipelines.

But Li Haotian was like someone who went to the supermarket and bought a watermelon.

He held the massive, still-sparkling core in one hand, as if he were holding a basketball.

The cables at the bottom of the core, which had been forcibly snapped, were still crackling with lightning.

"Boss, what did you just say?"

Li Haotian lifted the core up, and the ground shook violently with his movement.

"You're saying you're the reactor?"

"Then I'll bring out your 'body,' you shouldn't mind, right?"

The boss's purple phantom instantly shrank by more than half, like a deflated balloon.

He screamed madly, and the tentacles shrank into a ball out of fear.

"Impossible! How could you possibly descend 500 meters underground in just three seconds!"

"Those defensive lasers, those alloy gates..."

Li Haotian shrugged indifferently.

"Your door locks are quite sturdy; it took a bit of effort to take them apart."

"However, the core interface is well-designed; it opens with just a couple of tugs."

He took a step forward and slammed the massive core onto the ground.

"boom!"

The thick alloy floor was smashed and dented.

Li Haotian stared at the boss's pale, gritty face, his tone becoming cynical.

"Look, now let's sort out the logic."

"The core is in my hands. If you want to self-destruct, the gunpowder is right here."

"You want to die, the fuse is with you."

"If you die now, the gunpowder and fuse won't connect, and the island will just experience a power outage at most."

He pointed to the core beneath his feet, his face full of sincerity.

"Boss, you're a really nice guy."

"Knowing I don't like trouble, they deliberately kept themselves away from explosives like this."

The boss was so angry that the purple light seemed about to fall apart.

That was his last trump card, which he had been planning for decades, and it was actually cracked in such a violent and idiotic way.

He felt that his intelligence had been insulted like never before.

"Li Haotian—I'm going to kill you!"

Enraged, the boss merged all the tentacles into one, transforming it into a gigantic thorn that blotted out the sky.

The tip of the giant spike flashed with a destructive purple light as it pierced towards Li Haotian's head.

Li Haotian snorted coldly, his left hand still resting on the nuclear fusion core.

The Golden Crow True Blood within his body flowed like a floodgate opening, pouring into his core through his palm.

The originally blue and white energy flow was instantly dyed into a dazzling golden red.

"Can I borrow some electricity from you? You don't mind, do you?"

Li Haotian slammed his right hand down on the falling giant spike.

A ring of golden-red shockwave was forcibly extracted from the core.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the entire Abyss Island seemed to become a light bulb on the seabed.

Golden waves of light swept across the entire restaurant, turning the purple tentacles to ash before they could even get close.

The boss let out a mournful howl as his energy body was torn apart in the wave of light.

The fragments of those monocles exploded completely.

The purple mist was completely washed away by this wave of golden-red energy.

The smell of rotting lilies in the air had disappeared, replaced by a dry, burnt smell.

A brief silence fell over the restaurant.

Only the core continued to emit dull thumping sounds.

Li Haotian released his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This job is definitely much more tiring than killing people, especially controlling the energy to prevent this damn island from blowing up.

"Brother Dazhu, the core energy level has stabilized."

Su Wan's voice sounded like she had just been pulled out of the water, her breath coming in gasps of exhaustion.

"You just burned out the core logic board. Now it can only generate electricity, it won't explode."

Li Haotian lit a cigarette and took a puff.

He glanced at the corner and saw Lin Mo staring blankly at the core.

"What's wrong? Want to eat this big candy?"

Lin Mo walked over and touched the dark gold outer shell of the core with her small hand.

"It was warm, like the pot used for braised pork."

She suddenly turned around and looked at the cold storage at the back of the restaurant.

"Haotian, that smelly person is coming."

Li Haotian's eyes turned cold as he followed Lin Mo's gaze.

The door to the cold storage room had been pushed open a crack.

A hand covered in blood-red fur and with nails like steel knives was gripping the door frame tightly.

The cold storage contains the most precious experimental samples used by the pioneers in pharmaceutical production.

But now, those samples seem to have been consumed.

An aura several times heavier than the pressure emanating from the boss just now seeped out from the crack in the door.

That aura carried an extreme degree of violence.

"This is never going to end."

Li Haotian threw away his cigarette butt and gripped the dagger tightly.

A low roar came from the cold storage, as if hundreds of vengeful spirits were howling.

With a forceful pull, the entire blast door was violently ripped off.

A monster with no skin, its entire body covered in dark red crystals, emerged.

Its scarlet vertical pupils stared at Li Haotian, and it exhaled a stream of white, cold air.

"food……"

The monster opened its mouth, its voice like sandpaper grinding against a piece of iron.

Behind the monster, the man with the monocle who had been disappearing was cowering in the shadows.

He was holding a pulsating purple heart and was stuffing it into a hole in the monster's back.

"Li Haotian, this is the true arrival!"

The bespectacled man burst into maniacal laughter.

Li Haotian raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Mo.

"MoMo, this looks too dirty, we can't eat it."

Lin Mo nodded seriously, and the shadow behind him suddenly lengthened, transforming into a sky full of tentacles.

"Then I'll just crush it."

The roar of the sea grew increasingly deafening, as if foreshadowing a new round of slaughter.
