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

The purple finger, like a withered tree stump, lay across Li Haotian's dagger.

The blade struck the fingertip, sending sparks flying, but it couldn't even cut through the thick layer of purple keratin.

Li Haotian withdrew his hand and sheathed his sword, swaying half a step back as he stared at the slowly emerging shadow in the darkness.

"Brother, this stuff smells like expired canned food."

Inside the cocoon of light, Lin Mo's voice carried a hint of disdain, and the purple light on the surface of the cocoon flickered twice.

The man who emerged from the darkness was completely naked, his skin a sickly deep purple, with a white serial number printed on his chest: BH-001.

His eyes had no pupils, only two flickering purple flames; his fingers were thin and long, with wisps of cold air emanating from their tips.

"Another Frankenstein's monster. That old man Han Dehai really has no originality."

Li Haotian pursed his lips, tucked the bronze dagger back into his waistband, and casually stretched his neck.

The purple-eyed monster let out a beast-like roar, stomped its feet on the ground, and transformed into a purple afterimage.

Li Haotian suddenly spread his five fingers, golden light bursting from his palm, and delivered a heavy slap to the side.

"Snapped!"

The slap was extremely loud, and the purple-eyed monster flew sideways, smashing three rusty vending machines on the roadside.

Aluminum cans and glass shards were scattered all over the ground, the strange man's head was embedded in the metal sheet, and his limbs were still twitching slightly.

Li Haotian didn't look at him, but looked up at the slightly ajar sliding door at the end of the corridor.

"Han Dehai, is it fun watching this show from behind the security cameras?"

A series of chaotic mechanical sounds came from inside the lifting door, accompanied by an extremely strong, fishy stench.

Li Haotian, carrying the cocoon of light on his back, stepped over the pile of scrap metal and entered a core workshop the size of a football field.

The incandescent lights overhead turned on one after another, the light was so bright that it made my eyelids tremble.

"Big Zhu, watch your step! Something's getting closer!"

Su Wan's voice screamed through the earpiece, accompanied by a piercing static.

A dozen conveyor belts stretched across the center of the workshop, piled high with all sorts of oddly shaped chunks of meat.

The creaking sounds came from all directions.

At the other end of the conveyor belt, dozens of blood-red eyes lit up in the shadows, emitting low growls from their throats.

They were a group of monsters that looked like wild dogs, but their backs and legs were completely inlaid with streamlined metal frames.

The mechanical shafts clicked and clacked as they moved, and the drool that dripped onto the floor emitted wisps of white smoke.

"Bio-mechanical dogs? I'm tired of seeing those in movies."

Li Haotian yawned, his gaze sweeping over the drooling beasts.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the loudspeaker on the ceiling.

"Li Haotian, welcome to the heart of the pioneers."

A man's voice rang out, his tone radiating an air of superior arrogance.

"I am Dr. Wu, the chief researcher here."

"What you see is the crystallization of civilization, the result of evolution that transcends the mortal body."

Dr. Wu chuckled coldly twice, his expression filled with a morbid fanaticism.

"Each of them cost tens of millions to make, their skeletons are made of aerospace alloys, and their teeth can bite through the armor of a tank."

"How can a primitive man like you, who awakened a bit of his bloodline power by luck, possibly stop the tide of technology?"

Li Haotian stared at the nearest mechanical dog and saw a thin, red probe sticking out of its mouth.

"The tide of technology? I think it's more like the junkyard's comeback."

He bent down and casually pulled a rusty solid iron pipe from the equipment rack by the roadside.

The iron pipe was about two meters long and covered with a lot of black grease.

Li Haotian gripped the tube with one hand, and the Golden Crow True Blood within his body emitted a thunderous roar.

Golden-red energy flowed down his arm and continuously into the iron pipe.

The rusty iron pipe instantly turned red-hot, and the rust layer on the surface peeled off, revealing a texture similar to a ruby.

"If technology is this advanced, why are you still hiding behind surveillance cameras?"

Li Haotian, holding a glowing tube, gave the middle finger to the camera in the air.

Dr. Wu's voice turned angry, almost roaring.

"You're courting death! Subjects three through fifty, activate kill mode!"

"Tear him apart! Drain his internal organs and make a specimen!"

The whistle echoed through the workshop, and dozens of mechanical dogs, as if receiving a command, kicked off the conveyor belt with all four limbs.

They were like streaks of black lightning, rushing towards Li Haotian from different angles.

The air was torn apart by the monsters' charge, creating gusts of putrid wind.

"Brother, I want to eat dog meat hot pot."

Lin Mo muttered something inside the light cocoon, her voice crisp and clear.

"Okay, I'll give you a good beating later."

Li Haotian strode forward, swinging the red-glowing iron pipe in his hand in a full-moon-shaped circle.

"Get out of here!"

His movements were extremely fast, and the iron pipe transformed into countless golden staff shadows in the air.

This is the "Mad Dog Stick Technique" he learned from an old hunter in his hometown, which is all about killing the master with a flurry of punches.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of dull metallic clanging sounds rang out, accompanied by the crisp sound of parts flying everywhere.

The first three mechanical dogs that pounced had their heads smashed into their bellies by iron pipes.

The alloy shell is as brittle as a thin biscuit in the face of absolute power.

Li Haotian moved nimbly, leaping between the conveyor belts. With each swing of his staff, a mechanical dog would transform into a flurry of cables and gears.

A mechanical dog bit the other end of the iron pipe, its alloy teeth rubbing together and producing a sharp, piercing spark.

Li Haotian snorted coldly and slammed his left hand on the tube.

"Get out of my way!"

A violent golden shockwave exploded outwards along the iron pipe.

The mechanical dog's entire jaw instantly turned to dust, and its body flew straight into a distant high-voltage distribution box like a golf ball struck by a heavy hammer.

Sparks and electric arcs danced wildly in the workshop.

In less than three minutes, the once arrogant and domineering pack of mechanical dogs was reduced to a pile of still-smoking parts.

Li Haotian, carrying a somewhat bent iron pipe, stepped on the spine of a mechanical dog and crushed its last hydraulic pump into a flat disc.

"Dr. Wu, the quality of your cultural achievements isn't very good. Where's the after-sales service?"

A deathly silence fell over the other end of the loudspeaker, broken only by Dr. Wu's heavy breathing.

Several seconds later, the arrogant voice rang out again, this time tinged with barely suppressed terror.

"You...you monster! Your power exceeds the current energy detection peak!"

"But this is just the beginning! You'll never get into the core area!"

"The core chamber's door is made of three-meter-thick cored manganese steel alloy and equipped with a magnetic levitation locking system!"

"Without Mr. Han's biometrics and 24-digit dynamic password, even a nuclear bomb couldn't break in!"

Li Haotian looked up at the end of the conveyor belt.

There was a huge, silver-white round door, perfectly fitted into the wall, which looked so heavy it inspired despair.

The door was flashing with a pale blue light, indicating that the biometric system was in operation.

"Three meters thick? That does sound pretty sturdy."

Li Haotian threw away the broken iron pipe in his hand and slowly walked to the front door.

He stretched out a hand and gently pressed it against the crack in the door.

A bone-chilling cold emanated from the door panel; it was the magnetic field repelling any external contact.

"Brother Dazhu, don't waste your time. I'm trying to simulate Han Dehai's fingerprints, but it will take time!"

Su Wan frantically typed on the keyboard in her headset, sweating profusely with anxiety.

"This level of defense must be breached by breaking through its underlying logic; brute-force activation will trigger a self-destruct mechanism!"

Li Haotian stared at the door, the golden light in his eyes gradually gathering into a small point of light.

"Logic? Logic is for smart people. I've never been good at math."

He took a deep breath, slammed his feet into the steel plate on the ground, bent his knees slightly, and exerted force from his waist and hips.

He slowly pulled his right fist back, and the muscles in his entire right arm bulged out like steel cables.

The golden-red energy no longer overflowed outwards, but instead collapsed wildly towards the center of the fist, forming a dazzling black singularity.

"I'll just throw this punch, and you'll see if it makes any sense."

Li Haotian let out a low roar and threw out his right fist in a seemingly ordinary way.

There were no fancy moves, and it didn't even make much of a sound; this punch looked like an ordinary person hitting a punching bag.

however.

The instant the fist touched the door panel.

"Thump—!"

A muffled bang, loud enough to rupture an eardrum for an ordinary person, exploded in the enclosed workshop.

The originally indestructible manganese steel door was instantly dented with a fist-sized mark at the point of contact.

Immediately afterwards, a visible ripple spread wildly along the door panel.

The three-meter-thick alloy door seemed to be forcibly pulled out of the door frame by an invisible giant hand in that instant.

With a sickening metallic tearing sound, the entire iron gate, weighing over a hundred tons, transformed into a flying object.

It was like a piece of white paper caught in a gale, flying straight away.

The alloy door tumbled through the air, whistling as it smashed through all the surveillance cameras and defensive turrets in its path.

Two hundred meters away.

The control panel, which had been clamoring from behind reinforced glass, was smashed into a pile of scrap paper by the flying metal lump.

Flames and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

Li Haotian withdrew his fist, looked down at his slightly reddened knuckles, and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"It seems like I used a little too much force."

In the final footage from the monitoring system, Dr. Wu's distorted face was filled with despair.

He screamed wildly into the microphone, "This isn't scientific! This doesn't conform to the principles of Newtonian mechanics!"

"Your body structure can't withstand that kind of shock! You'll break bones! You've definitely imploded!"

Li Haotian stepped through the empty doorway and flashed a bright smile at the camera in the ruins.

"Dr. Wu, this is what you don't understand."

"On my turf, my rules are common sense."

Carrying the cocoon of light on his back, he strode into the core laboratory amidst a cacophony of alarms.

At this moment, at the deepest point underground.

In a pure white, secluded room, Han Dehai suddenly stood up.

His face was even more ashen than a dead man's, and he clutched a dark purple syringe tightly in his hand.

"Madmen...they're all madmen!"

He looked at the constantly flashing screen in front of him; the progress bar had reached 99%.

Once the final step is completed, the so-called "perfect vessel" will awaken.

Li Haotian's footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Every step felt like stepping on Han Dehai's heart.

"Han Dehai, stop busying yourself and hurry up and settle your wages."

Li Haotian's voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable penetrating power.

Han Dehai stared intently at the door, a mad, resolute glint in his eyes.

He turned abruptly and inserted the syringe into his neck.

"Li Haotian...you forced me to do this!"

The purple liquid spread instantly through his blood vessels, and his body began to swell in an extremely bizarre way.

The smell of rotten lilies in the air had disappeared.

Instead, there was a suffocating stench of blood.

Li Haotian stopped in his tracks outside the door.

He realized that the thing behind the door was no longer human.

But he merely squeezed the handle, his eyes as calm as a stagnant pool.

"I've seen plenty of requests like this in my life, one more won't make a difference."

The door was smashed open from the inside by a giant hand covered in purple barbs.

In the dark red light and shadow, a terrifying silhouette is slowly rising.

Li Haotian narrowed his eyes slightly, a bloodthirsty smile curving his lips.

"Come on, let's continue."

The underground factory trembled.

It became more intense.

It was as if the entire building was afraid of the impending collision.

And Li Haotian.

He has already raised his fist.
