Zheng Zha, Zero Point, and Overlord were the first to snap back to their senses. Zero Point and Overlord did the same thing: they simultaneously gripped the grenades in their hands, the other hand pulling the pin, ready to throw their only weapon the moment an Alien appeared. Only Zheng Zha gritted his teeth and charged towards the sound. He remembered his own words, that he would never abandon a companion. He had indeed heard Li Xiaoyi's cry for help just now.
At the turn of the corridor, three massive, pitch-black Aliens were frantically tearing Li Xiaoyi apart. The young man wasn't dead yet; his body convulsed and struggled non-stop. The Aliens' strength was astonishing. A gentle tear from their mouths, filled with sharp teeth, ripped his body apart like paper. Zheng Zha could only see the boy's desperate eyes before one Alien's tongue smashed his head to pieces.
Another Alien turned its head towards Zheng Zha. The tongue in its mouth slowly extended, transparent saliva dripping onto the ground. The Alien then roared at Zheng Zha, the immense sound jolting him back to reality. He took one last look at Li Xiaoyi—no, at Li Xiaoyi's mangled body—then turned and ran back down the corridor without looking back.
"Run! Damn it! There are three Aliens!"
Zheng Zha yelled as he ran. Zero Point and Overlord reacted the fastest, both throwing their grenades simultaneously before turning and fleeing deeper into the corridor. Close behind them were Zhang Jie, Chu Xuan, and Li Shuaixi.
Because she was further back, Zhan Lan was the closest to Zheng Zha. Her explosive speed was poor, and she was likely to be caught in the blast radius. As Zheng Zha passed her, he could only scoop her up. The shockwave from the explosion behind them sent them both tumbling to the ground.
Zheng Zha's nerve reaction speed was astonishing. In the instant he fell, he desperately twisted his body, using his back to brace against the ground. Zhan Lan landed on his chest. The woman with the ample chest looked at him in shock. At that moment, she even touched her forehead and giggled, "You really are a good man."
Zheng Zha froze for a moment and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and run!" With that, he intended to push Zhan Lan away and stand up.
Zhan Lan, however, tightly grabbed his collar. "My enhanced physical abilities are limited. Besides stamina, my running speed is definitely not good. Carry me with you."
As she spoke, the five people ahead, Zhang Jie and the others, had already disappeared. Zheng Zha couldn't say anything more. The shockwave behind them would only hinder the Aliens for a moment. If they didn't run faster, the two of them would simply die here. He gritted his teeth and charged forward with Zhan Lan in his arms. The small woman obediently pressed her face against Zheng Zha's chest.
Zheng Zha's physical condition was, after all, incredibly strong. Carrying someone felt like nothing. After running through several passages, he suddenly realized he was lost. In his panic, he had only run forward, but after such a long distance, he hadn't found Zhang Jie and the others. In other words, they had already been separated from the main group.
Zheng Zha gritted his teeth and kept running down the corridor. After another hundred meters or so, he saw a steel door appear by the side of the corridor and rushed in with Zhan Lan.
All the doors on the merchant ship were equipped with automatic sensors that opened when they detected approaching life forms, so the two easily entered the room. As soon as they entered, Zhan Lan jumped out of Zheng Zha's arms. She leaned against the steel door and pressed some buttons. After a few presses, the steel door finally closed, and a red light appeared on it.
Zhan Lan let out a sigh and patted her chest. "You scared me to death. I was so scared my hands and feet went soft. It was disgusting and terrifying, much scarier than the Aliens in the movies."
Zheng Zha had been watching Zhan Lan's actions. The small woman's chest was firm and full. He hadn't felt it while they were running, but now, recalling the moment she had landed on him, he felt as if his chest still remembered that soft touch. Especially seeing her patting her chest now, the fullness of her breasts jiggled, causing him to quickly avert his gaze.
Zhan Lan seemed to sense something, a blush appearing on her face. She put her hands down and smiled, "I knew the door's automatic sensor function could be turned off. Otherwise, anyone could enter your bedroom at any time, wouldn't that mean no privacy at all?"
Zheng Zha coughed to steady his mind. The image of Li Xiaoyi flashed through his mind. Although the boy wasn't remarkable and seemed a bit timid, he was truly a kind child. He would smile happily when he learned something new during training. Zheng Zha remembered him saying his biggest dream was to gain strength beyond others after enhancement and return to school to teach those who bullied him a lesson. But now, he was already...
"Damn it! I said I wouldn't abandon any of our companions! But I was scared and ran away too!"
The more Zheng Zha thought about it, the more grief and anger welled up inside him. He punched the steel bar beside him with all his might. With a bang, the steel bar, as thick as his arm, dented inward. Both he and Zhan Lan stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Zhan Lan quickly ran over. The room wasn't very large; besides a steel bunk bed, there was some simple furniture and a wall-mounted television. Zheng Zha's punch had just dented the steel bar of the bunk bed.
"Wow, when did you get so strong?"
Zhan Lan touched the dent in the steel bar left by his fist. She then grabbed Zheng Zha's fist and looked at it. Not even a scratch had appeared on his knuckles. She exclaimed in surprise, "No way? Is your fist made of iron? Such great strength."
Zheng Zha was also utterly astonished. He tried punching another steel bar of the bunk bed with all his might. This time, with his full power, the steel bar snapped in half, and the entire bunk bed was flipped over. Even Zheng Zha looked at his fist in bewilderment.
"Impossible. I've never beaten Zhang Jie in a fight unless I used internal force. If I had this much strength, I would have knocked him down with a single punch long ago."
Zheng Zha stared incredulously at the broken steel bar. Zhan Lan touched her forehead and suddenly said, "Perhaps it's because you were holding back. Not intentionally holding back, but because you've only just grasped this immense power, you subconsciously eased up on those around you. And it's not just your strength; your skin didn't break at all. My goodness, your skin seems tougher than steel."
Zheng Zha clenched his fist. A thought struck him. "You said if I used all my strength, combined with the instantaneous burst of internal force, how much destructive power would a steel bar thrown by me have?"
Zhan Lan looked at the broken steel bar beside them and smiled. "Then why not try it out nearby? If the results are good... hehe, I won't tell little sister Li that you peeked at my chest when we get back."
Zheng Zha didn't dare to retort. He was too familiar with Zhan Lan's expression and gaze at this moment. These ten years spent in the mortal world, he had seen several good girls give him such expressions and looks... He knew that at this moment, remaining silent and acting was probably the best choice.
He silently turned around and pulled at the steel bar he had broken. Indeed, his strength had reached such a level. He had never had a chance to test this strength in the Main God Space before. The steel bar was torn off by his hand. The grating sound was quite harsh, but to Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan, it brought a peculiar sense of security.
Zheng Zha weighed the steel bar in his hand, then took a deep breath, guided his internal force throughout his body with his consciousness, and then let out a roar as he threw the steel bar into the distance. With a shattering sound, the steel bar was embedded into the steel wall. The steel bar, dozens of centimeters long, had only a few centimeters sticking out. The rest was embedded in the steel wall. The power of this throw was truly astonishing.
Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan were both stunned. They looked at each other for a long time, then, with unspoken understanding, their gazes fell upon the steel bars of the steel bunk bed behind them.
"Since we forgot to redeem heavy weapons, let's use these primitive things to smash them!" Zheng Zha muttered to himself as he pried off a steel bar. Beside him, Zhan Lan was already laughing uncontrollably. As the small woman laughed, her chest jiggled, causing Zheng Zha to steal glances from the corner of his eye. And this small woman seemed to know his gaze was lingering on her chest. Her face only flushed slightly, and she even puffed out her chest a little, making the fullness of her chest even more prominent.
Perhaps, this is the only pleasure for now, Zheng Zha thought as he stole glances. But the thought of the three giant and terrifying nightmare creatures brought a sense of near despair, along with a stubborn refusal to submit.
Survive, no matter how desperate, no matter the circumstances... I will definitely survive!
