    Chapter 279 Shattered into Slag

    After Zhou Zhou secretly complained, he finally raised his eyes to survey the surrounding scene.

    Below the control room windows, a pile of ice blocks shrouded in cold air was scattered. Through the hazy mist, the flesh and blood of the tumorous humanoids wrapped inside could be seen, a faint fishy stench lingering in the air.

    “Pei Yanlie, can your ability be shared?”

    Zhou Zhou rubbed his sore neck and climbed out of his arms, his eyes sparkling as unrealistic thoughts began to form in his mind.

    Pei Yanlie’s thin lips curved slightly, looking at him with an ambiguous expression. “You can try.”

    Zhou Zhou: …

    [Every time he shows that look, nothing good ever comes of it!]

    He wisely shut his mouth and walked slowly to the control room door, facing the mass of tumorous humanoids crowded outside through the door.

    “Pei Yanlie, can mental power penetrate this door and reach its brain directly?” Zhou Zhou was eager to try, forgetting the pain once the scars healed.

    He only felt that after waking up, his mind was filled with abundant mental power, and he felt that if he didn’t use it, it would materialize and flow out.

    “It can, but it consumes twice as much mental power.” Pei Yanlie caressed the fingers that still carried Zhou Zhou’s body temperature, strode to his side, took out a milky white, milk-flavored nutrient solution from his pocket, opened it casually, and handed it to his mouth. “Drink the nutrient solution first.”

    Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth and took a big gulp, a little bit sticking to the corner of his mouth. He didn’t seem to notice Pei Yanlie’s scorching gaze, and licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, casually saying, “You grabbed it from the hovercar, right? I didn’t even notice.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed lightly twice, and his earlobes turned blood-red as he thought of what had happened in the hovercar.

    [Holy crap, what am I reminiscing about!]

    “Roar!”

    The tumorous humanoid outside the door suddenly opened its bloody mouth, roaring incessantly. The dense red tumors crowded together on its face suddenly split open from the middle, revealing rolling eyes, which was truly terrifying.

    Zhou Zhou was startled by this sudden change and quickly retreated until his back bumped into Pei Yanlie’s embrace before he breathed a sigh of relief.

    “What’s going on?” He grabbed Pei Yanlie’s arm with his backhand and asked in a low voice.

    Pei Yanlie raised his hand and covered his head, gently rubbing it, and explained in a deep voice, “After a period of time, the dominant genes in the tumorous humanoid’s body will recombine and evolve. The mutated tumorous humanoid outside has evolved to an intermediate state, and its hearing and speed far exceed those of ordinary people.”

    In less than five minutes, the tumorous humanoid had completed its evolution, and its size was significantly smaller than its previous bloated appearance. Its entire body was covered with crimson eyes, and its gaze fell on Zhou Zhou through the door.

    Zhou Zhou subconsciously shrank his neck. “Can the eyes on its body see?”

    [Hundreds of eyes are staring at me, it’s too damn creepy!]

    “It can see things within five meters.” Pei Yanlie raised his hand and caressed the back of his neck, lowered his eyes to look at the fair and slender neck below, and moved as he pleased, lowering his head to kiss it lightly.

    “Uh…”

    Zhou Zhou inadvertently let out a groan, raised his hand to cover the back of his neck, and turned to glare at him, “Can you tell me in advance next time before you kiss me?”

    Pei Yanlie raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of doting flashing in his eyes, but the words he spoke were domineering and forceful, “No.”

    He liked to see Zhou Zhou’s appearance when he was teased until his fur stood on end. Those phoenix eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars, and the clear pupils were filled with his own figure, which greatly satisfied his inner possessiveness.

    “Heh.” Zhou Zhou’s mouth twitched, and he muttered to himself: Pei Yanlie’s whole body has been transformed by R Particles, and it’s normal for his personality and behavior to change. I should understand him, accept him… my ass!

    He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the depression in his heart shifted to the tumorous humanoid outside the door. Unknowingly, the tumorous humanoid gradually became transparent, and finally only the deep green crystal in its brain was exposed.

    Zhou Zhou’s forehead began to sweat, and his lips were a little pale. Before he even started to control it, he felt overwhelmed, and his mental power was constantly draining, turning into sharp knives following the master’s will, stabbing straight into the center of the tumorous humanoid’s forehead.

    The mental power knife stopped abruptly 5 millimeters away from the deep green crystal.

    Zhou Zhou pursed his lips tightly, forcing himself to persevere. Just a little bit more, just a little bit.

    “Roar!”

    The tumorous humanoid sensed the danger, but the virus in its body controlled it, preventing it from escaping.

    It kept roaring, and its hands, barely able to see their shape, pawed at the door, making a sharp and ear-piercing sound.

    “Zzzzz…”

    A sound of electricity suddenly rang in Zhou Zhou’s mind, his breath stagnated, and he stared intently at the agitated tumorous humanoid.

    He abruptly withdrew his mental power, his face as pale as paper, and looked at Pei Yanlie. “Did you hear any sound?”

    Pei Yanlie’s expression stiffened, and he strode to the window and looked out, saying in a deep voice, “This spaceship was originally underpowered, relying only on batteries to fly. Now, the batteries have reached their limit.”

    “Then will we be trapped in space?” Zhou Zhou’s pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of dimness flashed in his eyes.

    “Little fool, don’t forget that I have the ability of foresight.” Pei Yanlie saw Zhou Zhou’s fur stand on end as he wished, and his eyebrows and eyes were filled with smiles.

    [You could have left out the first three words!]

    [I’m a little fool, what are you?]

    Pei Yanlie looked at him deeply, “Your husband.”

    Zhou Zhou: “…”

    He was silent in the explosion, and complained in silence: Yes, yes, what the domineering president says is right, say more, as long as my face is thick enough, I can pretend not to hear!

    “So, what are we going to do now? There’s still a long way to go to the planet we’re supposed to land on.” Zhou Zhou squeezed next to him with a flushed face, blinking his eyes and looking out.

    [Don’t look at me, look outside.]

    “You’re more beautiful than the outside.” Desire surged in Pei Yanlie’s eyes, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.

    Zhou Zhou moved his ears, his breathing became a little faster, and the heat lingering on his face became even more scorching.

    [Pei Yanlie, can you say a little less?]

    “You’re no fun to tease.” Pei Yanlie was in a good mood and decided to let him off the hook, continuing, “We have to leave the control room and go to the escape pod. There’s a small backup escape spaceship there.”

    “Time is of the essence, let’s go, let’s go!” Zhou Zhou took the lead in walking to the control room door. “Will the virus in the tumorous humanoid’s body affect us?”

    “Yes, but the probability of causing tumorous mutation is less than 1%, so you’re not allowed to get hurt.” Pei Yanlie slowly walked to his side, put his arm around his waist, and said seriously with a serious face, “Zhou Zhou, don’t let me find any wounds on you caused by other things.”

    “That’s a bit of a tall order.” Zhou Zhou muttered.

    [I’m a noob, it’s a blessing from heaven that I can successfully survive.]

    Pei Yanlie’s eyebrows lowered, his expression was not angry but awe-inspiring. “Promise me, you can do it.”

    Zhou Zhou muffled an “oh”, only feeling that he was carrying a difficult task.

    [Even zombies would run away from this look, can I say no?]

    Pei Yanlie was noncommittal, and his eyes were instantly covered with a layer of frost.

    The control room door instantly froze into ice, shattering into pieces in front of Zhou Zhou.

    “In my eyes, you can become a god in place.” He raised his eyes to look at the man with a stern face, raised his chin and quickly pressed it against his lips. “Honey, you’re amazing.”

    Pei Yanlie’s eyes darkened, and he took his hand and stepped out of the control room, taking out a silver pistol in his other hand and unhesitatingly firing several bullets wrapped in ice at the intermediate mutant “bang bang bang”.

    “Roar…”

    A disgusting fishy stench came to his nostrils, accompanied by a sharp roar.

    The monster covered in tumors and eyes was surrounded by a blue light, its movements fixed in place, unable to move.

    “Pei Yanlie, your ability will give me pinkeye.”

    Pei Yanlie hugged him tightly and walked out, “Mine is yours.”

    When Zhou Zhou passed by the tumorous humanoid, he waved at the eyes on its body. “Remember in the future, don’t block Pei Yanlie’s path, he will shatter you into Slag.”

    As soon as he finished speaking, the tumorous humanoid, which had been frozen into a large ice block, cracked from the position of its forehead downwards, and indeed shattered into ice Slag.
