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

"It's nothing."

Li Haotian turned around, looked at Su Wan who looked nervous, and grinned.

"I'm going out to help a kind-hearted citizen fix his sewer."

Su Wan's face turned pale instantly.

"Are you crazy? They're just waiting for you to get out!"

She rushed forward and grabbed Li Haotian's arm.

"That's definitely a trap, you can't go!"

Li Haotian didn't say anything. He just looked down at Su Wan's hand that was gripping his arm.

Su Wan's hands were trembling.

He turned around and gently patted Su Wan's hand.

"rest assured."

"I never fight a battle I'm not prepared for."

As he spoke, he shook off Su Wan's hand, turned around, and casually picked up a coat from the coat rack.

It was a black hoodie with the words "In good spirits" printed on it.

"Haotian!"

Su Wan's voice trembled with tears; she wanted to say something more.

Li Haotian had already reached the entrance hall. He didn't turn around, but simply called out towards the kitchen.

"Liu Hu".

"teacher!"

Liu Hu, who was using a magnifying glass to check if the fish scales were clean, suddenly jumped out.

"Keep an eye on the door, and keep an eye on Su Wan."

"Don't open it, no matter who comes, even if the sky falls."

After Li Haotian finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out.

With a "bang," the heavy solid wood door slammed shut.

Outside the door, Li Haotian pulled the hood of his hoodie over his head, put his hands in his pockets, and strolled slowly toward the elevator like an ordinary citizen taking a walk after dinner.

He casually stuffed his old cell phone into his pocket.

On the screen, the little red dot of the map software remained motionless.

……

Abandoned No. 3 waterworks in the suburbs.

The night wind carried the smell of fishy water as it blew across the rusty barbed wire.

A man as thin as a bamboo pole was sitting on the edge of a huge circular reservoir, his legs dangling above the water.

He is "Water Ghost," Ah Gui.

He has a scar on his face that runs from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth. When he smiles, the scar looks like a twisted centipede.

At this moment, he had his eyes closed and looked completely relaxed.

He could "feel" that his power was flowing through the city's vast water network to every household.

He could "hear" countless people groaning on the toilet.

He could "smell" the panic that permeated the hospital.

This feeling was as if I had become the god of this city, controlling everyone's joys and sorrows.

"Cool……"

Ah Gui uttered a single word with satisfaction.

He took out his communicator, his voice filled with barely suppressed smugness.

"Your Excellency, the 'Foggy City' project is a great success."

"Now the entire city of Donghai is enjoying my masterpiece."

On the other end of the communicator came a processed voice, indistinguishable between male and female.

Has the target made any move?

"Not yet." Ah Gui pouted. "That kid's probably hiding in some corner crying in fear."

"Don't be careless. He's no ordinary person; he was able to take down the Undertaker's squad."

"Don't worry, Your Excellency," Ah Gui said dismissively. "In my home turf, in the water, even a real dragon has to coil up before me!"

"If he dares to drink even a sip of water, I can make him poop his guts out!"

"Continue to monitor the situation and report any developments immediately."

Communication was interrupted.

Ah Gui tossed the communicator aside dismissively, looked down at the deep water beneath his feet, and a twisted smile appeared on his face.

Just then, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

"Um?"

He closed his eyes and tried to sense things carefully again.

That feeling of controlling everything through water is rapidly diminishing.

It's like someone took a giant vacuum cleaner and sucked away the "paint" that he had painstakingly splashed out, bit by bit.

"What happened?"

Ah Gui suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.

"Diluted that fast? Impossible!"

His "holy water" is not ordinary poison; it is a kind of extraordinary energy pollution that can multiply itself and only become stronger.

How could it just disappear into thin air?

Ah Gui's face turned ugly.

He felt that his "masterpiece" was being destroyed by something.

He reached out and dipped his hand into the icy pool, trying to regain control of the water source.

"What the hell is that...?"

He cursed through gritted teeth.

Outside the water plant, in a dark alley.

Li Haotian jumped off a shared bicycle and parked it haphazardly on the side of the road.

He looked up and glanced at the rusty barbed wire fence not far away.

In his perception, the Devourer was already in place.

The little thing he named "purifier" was quietly lurking at the bottom of the reservoir, like an inconspicuous stone.

Li Haotian leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette.

He didn't rush inside.

He is waiting.

Wait for the fish to surface on their own.

Beside the reservoir.

Ah Gui's face grew increasingly grim.

He could clearly feel the power he poured into the water draining away at an alarming rate.

The source seems to be in this reservoir!

"Hold!"

He suddenly stood up and paced back and forth by the pool.

"What the hell is ruining my plans?!"

He stared intently at the calm water beneath his feet, trying to find something amiss.

But the water was pitch black, like a giant black mirror in the night, and nothing could be seen.

Just when he was at his most agitated.

He felt something lightly touch his ankle.

It's very light, like seaweed.

"Get out of here!"

Ah Gui was in a bad mood and instinctively kicked out.

But the water was empty; he didn't kick anything.

He frowned and glanced down.

It was still that same pitch-black water.

"illusion?"

He muttered something to himself, just about to look away.

suddenly!

A cold, slippery thing covered with tiny suckers suddenly shot out of the water and wrapped tightly around his ankle!

"What the hell is that?!"

Ah Gui was so frightened that he screamed.

That force was terrifyingly powerful!

He felt a sudden tightness in his ankle, and instantly lost his balance, being violently pulled into the water by a tremendous force!

"Thump!"

Water splashed everywhere.

Before Ah Gui could even activate his abilities, he was dragged into the icy pool.

He struggled frantically and choked on several mouthfuls of water.

He opened his eyes in terror underwater.

He saw it.

It was a monster that could not be described in words.

It has no eyes; its head is a huge, dark red crystal.

Its sides were covered with insect-like segmented limbs, which were now tightly embracing him.

What terrified him most was the monster's mouth.

That's not a mouth.

Those were sharp teeth that slowly rotated, like those of a meat grinder.

Ah Gui's pupils instantly dilated to their maximum size.

He wanted to shout, to cry for help.

But next second.

The mouthpiece, covered with layers of sharp teeth, came down on his face.
