Vol 2: Chapter 5-3.

Along with the scream came a loud bang on the door. It only took one tackle to bend the whole door. Zheng could see half the Alien’s body stuck in the door. Two of the steel bars hit the Alien. One pierced its left chest and the other right under its neck. Both hit the vital spots of the Alien, though not enough to take its life.

This was the second time Zheng fought against an Alien face to face. Even though the situation was better than last time, it was not overly optimistic. This Alien was fully matured, about 30% larger than the previous one. Its black exoskeleton was thick and tough as a piece of metal. In fact, the steel bar only penetrated one third its length. A large section of them were hanging outside the Alien.

Zheng’s body trembled as he looked at the terrifying appearance of the Alien. Especially when that tail stabbed at the door and opened up a big hole. ‘If that stab lands on a human…’ No matter how much Zheng enhanced, he didn’t think his body was tougher than steel.

‘It’s this pressure, as if my whole consciousness is gone. All that’s left is fear and those instincts…’

Zheng felt something unlocked within his body again. Countless instincts appeared in his mind. These instincts also included ways to use Qi efficiently.

He guided his Qi to raise up through the spine in a spiral, cross over his head and into his right arm. This process only took a blink of an eye. Zheng let his instincts take control over his Qi and the result was notable.

When the Qi crossed over his head, he felt something coming from his brain get added into the Qi. He focused this mixture on his right hand. The moment the Alien knocked off the door, he threw a steel bar with a shout. At the same time the Alien’s tail hit his belly.

Jie and Lan gave out a cry. Zheng got knocked off the ground and flew into the wall with a bang. The spear he threw was even more powerful. It easily penetrated the Alien’s head and went into the wall behind. A third of its head was gone. It wobbled a bit then fell to the ground. On the wall behind the Alien was a fist wide hole.

Lan took some clothes to cover her chest then ran toward Zheng in a hurry. “How’s it, how’s it? Zheng! Are you alright?” The anxiety sent her crying as she saw Jie standing there in a daze. She knelt beside Zheng. But as she got down, she saw him stroking his head with an idiotic expression. She suddenly felt angry and hit his belly without thinking. “You scared us! You attacked it without saying anything, what happens if you failed? You will… and also get both of us in trouble! You will get us killed!”

Zheng groaned with pain as she hit his belly. Lan saw the blood on her hand then went into a panic again. She said as she cried, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t know you’re injured. I’m really sorry…”
