A bizarre and terrifying experience; I messed up the dungeon world.

"Zero disconnected the docking procedure. The energy network will cut the spacecraft to pieces," Ajay said.

Han Yingying stood up and looked at the metal door at the end of the corridor.

"Go outside. Manually unlock it," Han Yingying said.

The metal door at the end of the passageway is the external airlock of the spacecraft.

A-Jie connected to the control panel of the airlock. "It's a vacuum outside. The temperature is minus two hundred degrees Celsius. Without protective clothing, you wouldn't survive more than ten seconds outside."

Han Yingying walked to the airlock door. "Holy crap. My body is being digitized. The vacuum can't kill me."

Lu Chen walked over and stood in front of Han Yingying. He took a silver metal disc out of his pocket.

"High-level item. Miniature force field generator." Lu Chen attached the disc to Han Yingying's straight knife. "It can maintain a survival environment for ten minutes. I'll go with you."

"Someone needs to remove the physical lock from the outside. Someone needs to modify the code from the inside." Lu Chen looked at Han Yingying. "You remove the lock. I'll modify the code."

Han Yingying looked at Lu Chen and nodded.

Ajay entered a command on the control panel. The inner door of the airlock opened.

Han Yingying and Lu Chen went inside. The inner door closed. The outer door opened. The suction of the vacuum came through. The two flew out of the spaceship and entered space.

Lin Qi stood in the passageway, looking at the door of the airlock.

Lin Qi thought, these two people are crazy. They're risking their lives in space for a mission. If they don't come back, this spaceship will be their coffin.

Dull footsteps echoed from the back of the passage. Large sections of the fleshy wall had crumbled away.

A gigantic, three-meter-tall aberration squeezed into the passage. The monster had no skin; its muscle tissue was exposed. It dragged a rusty giant axe in its hand.

"The space station's guards." Ajay took two steps back. "Level 100. Lord-level."

Wang Jianguo raised his pistol. He emptied the magazine. The bullets hit the monster, but didn't even leave a mark.

"Physical defense maxed out." Wang Jianguo slammed his gun at the monster. "How do we fight this?"

The monster swung its giant axe, smashing it onto the metal floor. The spaceship shook. Ajay fell to the ground. The tablet slipped from his grasp.

"Hold the airlock door!" Ajay shouted. "If the door is breached, the pressure difference will suck us all out."

Lin Qi thought, there's nowhere to run now. He can only tough it out. He can't rely on these two men. He has to rely on himself.

Lin Qi pulled out the last vial of second-generation enhancement fluid from her bag. This was her trump card for survival.

Lin Qi injected the enhancement fluid into his neck, pushing it all the way in. The golden liquid entered his brain. Lin Qi's eyes turned pure gold. His veins bulged. Fine beads of blood seeped from his skin.

Strength doubles. Speed ​​doubles. Pain disappears.

Lin Qi rushed towards the giant monster. His speed was so fast that he left a trail of afterimages in the air.

The monster raised its giant axe and brought it down. Lin Qi didn't dodge. She stepped onto the axe's blade, using the momentum to leap up. Her twin blades aimed for the monster's eyes.

The monster closed its eyes. The keratinized layer of its eyelids blocked the dagger. Sparks flew.

Lin Qi twisted his body in mid-air. The short knife slashed along the monster's eye corner toward its ear canal. The blade cut into the ear canal. He twisted it forcefully.

The monster went berserk. It dropped its giant axe and began clawing wildly with both hands.

Lin Qi tapped the monster's shoulder, flipped over, and landed back in front of the airlock.

Wang Jianguo picked up the giant axe from the ground and dragged it to Lin Qi's side. "Girl, this medicine is a bit too strong. You're bleeding from all seven orifices."

Lin Qi wiped the blood from his nose. "Shut up. Look at its legs."

Outside of space.

Han Yingying and Lu Chen floated on the surface of the spaceship. A miniature force field generator emitted a blue light, enveloping the two of them.

Ahead is a blue energy network. The nodes of the energy network are connected to a metal box on the outer wall of the space station.

"That's a physical lock," Lu Chen said, pointing to the metal box.

The two climbed upwards along the fleshy tissue on the spaceship's surface. The ten-minute countdown began.

Han Yingying climbed to the metal box. She inserted a straight knife into the gap in the box and pried open the panel. Inside were densely packed wires and a red motherboard.

Lu Chen took out a data cable and connected it to the motherboard and the miniature terminal on his wrist. "The code encryption layer is very thick," Lu Chen said, tapping his fingers on the virtual keyboard. "It will take three minutes."

Han Yingying gripped the knife, keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings.

On the outer wall of the space station, a dozen mechanical spiders crawled out. Blue ion flames shot from their tails as they charged towards the two people.

Han Yingying swung her knife, severing the mechanical leg of the first spider. In space, there was no sound. Only the vibration of the clashing blades traveled through her arm.

Han Yingying's wrist burned again. The red thread pierced her skin, floating in the vacuum.

Her memories were completely clear.

Zero is not a program. Zero is a biological intelligence cultivated by Han Fei using a slice of half of her brain. This is why her gene sequence is the only match. This is why she was able to shut down the black hole.

She is Zero. Zero is her.

Han Yingying paused for a second. A mechanical spider pounced on her shoulder. Its sharp mechanical legs pierced her flesh.

Han Yingying felt no pain. Her blood flowed out. It was blue. She grabbed the spider with her other hand and crushed it forcefully.

Inside the spaceship.

Lin Qi fought the monster for three minutes. The drug's effects reached their limit. Lin Qi's movements slowed down.

The monster punched Lin Qi in the chest. Lin Qi was sent flying backward, crashing into the airlock door and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Wang Jianguo swung his giant axe at the monster's leg. The axe got stuck in the bone and couldn't be pulled out. The monster kicked Wang Jianguo away.

The monster walked towards the airlock. It raised its fist, preparing to smash the door.

Lin Qi leaned against the door, gripping a short knife in both hands.

Lin Qi thought, "It's over. If the door breaks, everyone will die. This deal is a huge loss."

The spaceship shook violently the instant the monster's fist landed.

Outside of space. Lu Chen pressed the Enter key. "Lock unlocked."

The blue energy net disappeared. The spaceship lurched forward and crashed into the docking module of the space station.

The immense inertia threw the monster to the ground. The outer door of the airlock opened. Han Yingying and Lu Chen tumbled into the airlock. The inner door opened.

Han Yingying walked out carrying a knife. She looked at the giant monster on the ground.

Han Yingying walked over. She gripped the knife with both hands. She plunged it into the back of the monster's head, pinning it to the metal floor. The monster twitched twice. Then it went still.

Lin Qi slid down to the ground, panting heavily.

Han Yingying walked up to Lin Qi and extended her hand.

Lin Qi looked at the hand. There was a wound on the wrist, from which blue blood was flowing.

Lin Qi didn't take her hand. He stood up by leaning against the wall. "We're even."

The fleshy walls at the front of the passage receded to either side, revealing a large, silver-white metal door. Three words were written on the door: Eden.

The doors slid open slowly to both sides. A rush of cold, white air poured out. The lights inside the space station came on.

In the center of the hall stood a person. She wore a white dress and had long, flowing hair.

The person turned around and looked at the five people outside the door.

Wang Jianguo's eyes widened. The gun in his hand fell to the ground. A-Jie's mouth gaped open, speechless. Lin Qi gripped his short knife tightly.
