Chapter 22 Melee Module
That force was so steady, so reassuring.

It's like an unshakeable mountain!

The next second, Charlene felt herself being pulled back from the brink of death by a tremendous force.

Then she was grabbed by the waist and thrown onto a row of seats behind her.

Charlene's mind was still somewhat blank.

She struggled to look up, but could only vaguely make out an incredibly tall and strong figure from behind.

His entire face was completely covered by a black woolen hat.

But the eyes peeking out from the hole were incredibly sharp.

It exudes a powerful sense of intimidation that makes one's heart race...

Although his bandit-like appearance was somewhat frightening.

But there is no doubt about it.

This must have happened during those years when she was ignorant and naive...

Heroes who only exist in the innocent fantasies of children!

"Thanks……"

The word "thank you" was on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't have a chance to say it.

The mysterious hero who saved him didn't even turn his head.

He suddenly accelerated, braving the heart-wrenching gale, and rushed headlong towards the front of the plane!
………………

Saving the flight attendant was merely an instinctive act for Li Zhe.

It wasn't even a warm-up.

Without pausing for a moment, he braved the strong winds of cabin depressurization and rushed straight towards the nose of the plane as if walking on flat ground.

The violent air currents roared past him, but could not shake him in the slightest.

His two-meter-tall frame was like a moving mountain, firmly rooted to the swaying cabin floor.

The surrounding passengers were still in shock.

They huddled in their seats, gripping the armrests tightly.

Few people noticed the sudden appearance of the "masked superhero".

Li Zhe moved through the narrow passageway with the steady grace of an icebreaker.

No amount of chaos could stop him.

He quickly reached a position near the nose of the plane, finally able to pinpoint the monster's location more precisely—

It's the cockpit!

The cockpit door was closed at the moment.

But from under the door crack, streams of dark green viscous liquid were constantly seeping out, emitting a nauseating stench.

Li Zhe rushed to the door.

He clearly sensed that the two pilots in the cockpit had completely lost consciousness and were slumped over like mud.

The parasitic worm completely took over the main pilot's body.

The overflowing slime is wreaking havoc and corroding the aircraft's control systems.

Can't wait any longer!
Li Zhe immediately raised his leg and kicked the cockpit door hard!
"Bang——!!!"

This specially reinforced alloy hatch, capable of withstanding small arms fire, was as fragile as paper under this battering ram.

The door lock snapped, and the entire door panel collapsed with a loud crash!

The view inside the cockpit was immediately laid out before them.

Everywhere there were dashboards flashing with electricity and that nauseating dark green slime.

As Li Zhe stepped into the cockpit, the slime beneath his feet seemed to gain its own consciousness.

The surface of the mucus trembled violently, and it deliberately avoided his landing spot, scattering like a startled swarm of ants.

Li Zhe ignored this and strode forward.

The slime scattered on the ground and in the instruments seemed to have received some kind of instruction.

They quickly recoiled and converged towards the host pilot.

In the blink of an eye, the cockpit was "clean" again.

All the mucus returned to the host's body.

The parasitized driver lay motionless on the ground, as if he were simply asleep.

But Li Zhe knew that this was just an appearance.

This monster seems to have an extremely strong sense of danger.

Upon realizing the power of this uninvited guest, it decisively abandoned its attempt to continue destroying the plane.

It focuses all its efforts on self-preservation and uses all its power to accelerate the assimilation of the host and enhance its combat strength.

This is a big gamble!
It's a gamble...

I'm betting that this powerful being wouldn't dare to kill one of my fellow humans!

As long as it can delay for a moment and wait for its combat power to increase to a high enough level, it will have a chance to turn the tide! In Li Zhe's detection module, the value representing the monster's combat power is indeed still soaring.

0.79, 0.83, 0.89...

Soon, we'll break through the 1.0 barrier!

Once its combat power exceeds half of your own, that is, above 1.0.

I wasn't confident I could deliver a fatal blow.

By then, the variables in the battle will have increased significantly.

Moreover, the cramped cockpit makes it impossible to maneuver freely.

One careless move could potentially affect the unconscious driver.

It could even cause secondary damage to the aircraft, making it completely unsalvageable.

It must be resolved quickly!

Moreover, it must be a surgical-like precision strike.

Li Zhe's gaze was as calm as ice. His powerful detection module had already analyzed the core weaknesses of this monster thoroughly.

One shot is all it takes.

Destroying its core, which lies hidden within the host, will completely eliminate it.

And that core...

It's not big, only about the size of a walnut.

At this moment, it is lurking behind the aortic arch in the host's chest cavity in an extremely cunning way, closely attached to the spine.

This area, surrounded by the heart, lungs, and ribs, is one of the most complex and vulnerable areas in the human body.

Ordinary attack methods, let alone hitting accurately.

Even the slightest brush could cause the host to die on the spot.

The monster seemed to have figured this out as well, and lay in a state of complete slumber with complete confidence.

Its combat strength has climbed to 0.97...

Time was running out, with only a few seconds left.

If you hesitate any longer, you'll really miss your chance.

Just then, the driver suddenly woke up and mumbled something incoherently...

"No...don't kill me..."

This is clearly a monster manipulating the parasitized person to feign weakness and threaten them!
A hint of coldness flashed in Li Zhe's eyes.

Then...

He dashed forward in one stride!

Raise your hand, bring your five fingers together, and deliver a chop to the opponent's neck!

Control your strength and knock this controlled driver unconscious!
"I'm going to kill you."

Li Zhe said coldly, and quickly opened the weapon module interface.

Equip that legendary melee module!

The moment the module loads, lines of information prompts appear before your eyes.

[Legendary melee module successfully loaded!]

[Module Effects: Can be deployed into various forms of melee weapons such as chainsaws, thermal blades, and high-frequency blades; in dual-wielding mode, attack speed and destructive power are increased by 20% (up to 400% with equipment upgrades); (Witch Seed Effect) When equipped, it can slow down the erosion of the abyss aura.]

[Mode Selection: Hybrid (Balanced), Offensive (Sacrificing speed for power), Agile (Sacrificing power for speed), Precision (Sacrificing range for ultimate accuracy)]

Without the slightest hesitation, I decisively switched to the [Precision] mode.

At that very moment, accompanied by his thoughts.

His right index finger underwent an astonishing change.

Flesh and skin quietly unfolded, revealing the incredibly intricate and resilient tendons and bones beneath.

The unfolding process was smooth and fluid, without any pain whatsoever.

A tiny, thin scalpel, gleaming with a chilling light, shot out from his fingertips!

The blade is even surrounded by a layer of high-frequency vibration waves that are barely perceptible to the naked eye, enough to cut through any obstacle.

Li Zhe focused all his detection capabilities on the driver's body.

Bone density, muscle texture, blood vessel direction, heart rate...

Everything was forming an incredibly precise, real-time updated three-dimensional anatomical diagram in his mind.

"You...how dare you...I bet you won't dare to lay a hand on me..."

The parasitized creature, limp on the ground, mumbled incoherently, attempting a final struggle.

Li Zhe grabbed the other person and coldly addressed the monster before him:
"You made the wrong bet."

“I can save him.”

"I'll kill you without hesitation!"
