No. 39 Sewage Treatment Plant, located at the westernmost edge of the shield range, can be used as a large entrance and exit.
At the same time, because of the existence of the reservoir, the terrain here is also the lowest.
As long as the water is drained, it will become a natural "subway station", which is very suitable for the Tunnel Worm Project.
Zhang Xiaoman plans to use the terrain here as the starting point of the entire plan and focus on development.
Unexpectedly, when he came over, he happened to see the Rat Exterminator team. Their mission target point this time was right here.
This can be considered a coincidence.
Weiss didn't know Star Master's plans when he assigned the mission, so he can't be blamed.
If he had known that Star Lord would go here in person, I believe he would no longer regard the Necro Gang as a threat.
But since the members of the Rat Exterminator Team have arrived and have gained something, Zhang Xiaoman will not deprive them of their achievements.
On the contrary, he was quite surprised by the achievements of these people.
There are more than a hundred super mutants, which is a force that cannot be underestimated in the entire Aphotic Zone.
Although in front of him, the star master, he is no different from more than a hundred lambs standing around.
But for these bounty hunters, and even ordinary awakened people, it is a very dangerous area.
What people didn't expect was that on the day they received the mission, these people had already captured all the targets here, leaving only one leader-level mutant.
Although they did not rely on pure force to solve the problem, but used some special means.
But a real battle has no distinction between force and strategy. As long as one can win, it is all due to one's own strength.
Zhang Xiaoman knew this very well, so he was very satisfied with the performance of these people.
With such a talent, you might as well investigate it. If you can pass the test, you can also draw the opponent into the three major temples.
"I thought I was going to die, thank you for saving me..."
Morris said gratefully.
At this time, he had recovered from the initial shock, but the excitement was still difficult to calm down for a long time.
After all, the one standing opposite is the Star Lord of the Star Alliance, the highest being in the entire Star Alliance.
Whether it was the opponent's strength, record, or other people's comments, he had a very deep impression of the star master.
That is powerful, unparalleled power.
As a peripheral member of an organization, I can't help but feel a sense of uneasiness when standing around it.
The heart was pounding, especially in this environment where time seemed to have stopped, which proved from the side how terrifying the strength of the person in front of him was.
After all, the ability to control time will be the best no matter where it is placed, and it can even rise to the level of laws.
But can Zhang Xiaoman really control time?
That is of course impossible.
Even if he is extremely lucky and extracts some ability to control time through the system, it is definitely not something he can use now.
What he is currently using is a magical power called "Quicksand between Fingers". It can only be said to be a way of getting through time, but it cannot be said to be controlling time.
He waved his hand to indicate that the other party did not need to be polite. Zhang Xiaoman felt quite helpless.
He is now trying his best to shrink his momentum, but the other party will still look respectful.
Zhang Xiaoman actually doesn't like the way others treat him now.
Be respectful, careful, anxious, cautious...
If possible, he would prefer to be able to communicate and get along normally with everyone around him as before.
Although this may seem a bit pretentious, that's exactly what he thinks.
This feeling is actually not good.
It may be addictive at first, but over time you will feel lonely.
But sometimes reality cannot be influenced by personal will.
When he chooses to become a Star Lord, he will naturally lose some of what he once had.
The three major temples need him as a star master, the Star Alliance needs him as a star master, and even planets like Ancient Lengxing need him as a star master.
He was helpless now.
Unless he can master more powerful power.
Powerful enough to crush all threats, enough to easily crush this great fusion crisis.
Only then can true freedom be achieved.
My thoughts wandered a lot at this moment.
They emerge in an instant and gather in an instant.
When Zhang Xiaoman came to his senses, Morris on the side didn't even feel anything strange.
"You did a great job this time. You were able to kill so many mutants with the strength of ordinary people. This is considered the best among the Star Alliance. I will prepare a gift for you, which will be regarded as a special contribution. The reward of the one who did it.”
He said with a look of relief on his face.
After Morris heard that there were special rewards, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
What will be the reward given by the Star Master himself?
Although he really wanted to ask, he also knew that it was not the right time to speak now, so he could only suppress his inner excitement, perform a star-touching ceremony, and thank the other party.
Zhang Xiaoman responded with a salute, and then turned his gaze back to the giant mutant in the distance.
The monster in front of him is still in a state of immobilization. On the surface, it has stopped time, but in fact, it is not. He is just in a state of time dislocation.
To be more precise, the real time mismatch was between Zhang Xiaoman and Morris.
This is a kind of zone similar to a time gap, where everything around is still.
This is stillness in the true sense, which cannot be interfered with or destroyed.
What happened to them here was only a moment to the outside world.
Everything will return to its original state the moment the quicksand between your fingers stops.
In other words, this place is like a dream.
When you wake up from this dream, everything will return to the way it was before.
The reason why Zhang Xiaoman kept using the quicksand between his fingers without stopping was simply because he had just learned this ability and wanted to try it to see where his limits were.
On the side, Morris saw the Star Lord staring at the monster without saying a word, and curiosity arose in his heart.
He tried to walk to the other party, carefully looked at the mutant's ugly face, and then cautiously stretched out a finger and nodded.
But a scene that surprised him appeared. He found that no matter how hard he tried, there was always a slight distance between his fingers and the other person's skin, and he could not touch the other person.
Although the distance was infinitely close to nothing, even to the naked eye, he had already touched the mutant's green skin.
But Morris clearly felt that there was no touch sensation from his fingertips, and he did not really touch the other person.
"How is this going……"
Out of curiosity, he reached out and tapped a pebble that was splashing nearby.
As before, Morris still couldn't reach those stones.
At this time, he realized belatedly that he could not interact with any objects around him, and even he himself was in a state of "suspended" on the ground.
"When time is stripped away, you naturally can't touch it."
Zhang Xiaoman's voice rang in his ears at the right time.
He didn't explain to the other party what was going on, but he just used this simplest and clearest way to let him understand his current situation.
Morris was stunned for a moment, then nodded suddenly and said:
"So that's it... Then Star Lord, will we be affected by all this again... Is what we saw an illusion... just like when I recalled it before...?"
Zhang Xiaoman didn't expect him to think of this step so quickly. He glanced at him in surprise and said:
"After I lift this period of time, things will return to their original state, including your position and the injuries on your body."
"But you are not an illusion right now..."
"Compared to us now, all of this is really happening. But relative to the entire timeline, it is all false and does not exist."
He casually answered the opponent's questions, and then sensed his own dark energy.
In less than two minutes, his maximum dark energy limit of more than 5,000 was showing signs of being emptied.
"This is indeed a high-level magical power. With my current strength, if I bring one person with me, it can only last for less than two minutes..."
Zhang Xiaoman thought to himself.
He once tried it when he was alone and it could last about an hour.
But when he pulled Morris into it, there were only two minutes left.
Such a gap was something he didn't expect.
"Are you ready? We are going back."
Zhang Xiaoman did not wait for Morris, who was still thinking, to agree on the key, and reminded the other party aloud, and then waved his hand to remove the effect of quicksand between his fingers.
In an instant, everything around him recovered.
The mutants' swooping movements, the teammates' cries of grief and indignation, the pebbles flying on the ground, the whole world seemed to have pressed the play button again.
Morris only felt the surrounding environment suddenly change. One moment, he was standing in front of the mutant intact, and the next moment, he was sitting on the ground again with bruises all over his body.
Except for that memory from the crack in time, everything seemed as if it had never happened.
Even though he knew the truth, facing this sudden change, he still had the feeling that everything that just happened was an illusion.
"Captain! Be careful!"
Andrea's shouts reached his ears, and Morris came to his senses in an instant, but just like before, he could do nothing.
"boom!"
The next moment, a muffled sound sounded.
The monster suddenly stopped when it was less than half a meter away from him, and its body flew out like a cannonball, hitting the wall not far away.
"boom!!"
The entire wall was dented by the impact, and the thick metal wall was twisted out of shape.
At the same time, a figure wearing a purple-black robe stepped out of the void, it was Zhang Xiaoman.
Morris' face lit up, he was the Star Lord! Everything that just happened is true! It's not his imagination!
The other people were immediately attracted by all the changes, and they all looked surprised, just like Morris showed before.
"Star Lord...?"
Andrea stood there in shock. He never expected that the leader of the Star Alliance would appear here in person.
"Gulu...Gulu...gene warrior...die...die..."
Over there, the mutant leader was not dead yet. He vomited blood and struggled to stand up from the ground. He was still muttering words about killing the opponent.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't know where these mutants and genetic warriors came from so much hatred - even though Morris and others were not genetic warriors from the Ancient Leng Star.
He just turned his head and glanced at the other person, and the dark energy gathered into a powerful concussive force, instantly shattering this guy's brain.
"Plop..."
The mutant leader, who was so powerful that he brought despair to the entire team of Rat Exterminators, was eliminated at this moment.
Andrea and the others were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene. Only Morris was mentally prepared and was not too surprised.
That is the Star Lord of the Star Alliance, a being who can even peel away time. Killing a mutant leader is as easy as killing a mob?
In fact, Zhang Xiaoman is really easy to deal with these ordinary monsters without extraordinary strength.
No matter how strong their bodies are, without the protection of dark energy, his dark energy attacks are all real damage to the opponent and cannot be defended at all.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Covenant, the threats are never alien mutants, but alien species from the second universe. Those are the real enemies.
As before, Zhang Xiaoman used the healing touch to restore Morris's injuries, but he did not stay any longer. Instead, he flew into the air, with a reservoir wrapped by a valve at his feet.
He raised his hand and waved lightly to both sides, and saw that the thick and huge metal plate retreated back into the wall where it came from.
Everyone who saw this scene took a breath of air.
They knew that it couldn't be done with mechanical power. After all, the control room nearby had been destroyed by a monster just now, so how could it continue to work.
So, the Star Lord relied on his extraordinary power to push back the reservoir valve that weighed thousands of tons?
What's more, when pushing it back horizontally, it will be hindered by the mechanical structure, so this kind of force requires more force than imagined.
Can such power really be achieved only by human power?
Even though they already know the identity of the other party, when they witness all this with their own eyes, everyone can't help but have an unreal feeling.
If I could obtain even one or two of these great powers, I would have no regrets in this life.
