I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Lei Ming's eyes lit up, and he continued, "You don't need to have complete control of the operating system. You just need to figure out how to get the escape pod's thrusters to maximum power so that the escape pod can move forward at full speed..."

The White Queen paused for a few seconds before saying, "The success rate is less than seven percent, but I will give it a try."

"Now! Immediately!"

Lei Ming's will to survive was finally rekindled.

...

The night sky was dotted with stars, and the bright moon hung high. Suddenly, an exceptionally bright star appeared in the sky, trailing a long tail as it streaked across the night! It illuminated the horizon and then plunged diagonally into the sea!

The powerful impact sent seawater gushing dozens of meters high, gliding across the surface for hundreds of meters before finally coming to rest at the edge of a rocky beach.

"Detecting the external environment..."

The air density was 0.693 kg/m³, the oxygen content was 15%, and no substances harmful to the human body were detected…

The seawater density is approximately 0.56 g/cm³, and no harmful substances were detected…

......"

Inside the cabin, the White Queen was conducting data analysis, but Lei Ming couldn't hear anything. The powerful impact of landing caused him, who was already extremely weak, to fall into a coma again.

Several hours later, a golden hue rose on the horizon…

Lei Ming slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he sensed was one word.

stable!

There was no shaking, no jolts, no dizziness; it was as stable and comfortable as lying in a bed at home. This made Lei Ming, who had suffered so much in space, feel as if he were in heaven…

"Lei Ming, congratulations on successfully reaching your destination alive. You are very lucky. The atmospheric environment of this planet is very similar to that of Earth, making it perfectly suitable for human habitation."

Upon hearing this, Lei Ming couldn't help but smile. Although he wanted to cheer loudly, his physical condition wouldn't allow it. He was hungry, thirsty, and his whole body ached. He wished he could sleep for another day and night.

But he also knew that now was not the time to rest; he had to go out and explore. After all, it was an unfamiliar planet, and threats could arise at any moment…

"This is...the sun?!"

The moment the hatch opened, a golden light shone on his face, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.

He hadn't seen the sun for over two years and had almost forgotten what it felt like to have sunlight on his face...

And the waves in front of me… the reefs, and the birds calling in the sky… their calls sounded exactly like those of seagulls on Earth…

At this moment, Lei Ming noticed something was wrong with his body.

"Strange...why do I feel so light? Is it just my imagination?"

The White Queen's voice rang out at just the right moment:

"It's not an illusion, it's a fact."

"Your home planet and the Gaia spaceship, which have been destroyed, have gravity several times that of this planet. You possess immense power here."

"So exaggerated?"

Lei Ming looked at his hands in disbelief, then stomped his feet, thinking to himself, "Have I really become a superman?"

If he hadn't known that he hadn't traveled into a movie, he might have even doubted whether he had another name, K. El.

Buzz…!

At that moment, a deep, loud, and penetrating voice came from afar, making Lei Ming's eardrums ache, but he revealed an extremely strange expression.

"Isn't that a ship's horn? Am I hallucinating?"

Filled with a series of questions, Lei Ming jumped onto a tall reef not far away, turning his back to the sea and looking forward...

But he witnessed a scene he could never have imagined...

Chapter Five: Sudden Evolution

On the other side of the distant beach, there were rows of buildings that were clearly man-made, in a European and American style. Various cars were parked on the streets, and fishing boats of different sizes were moored at the dock. He even saw an elderly white man scavenging on the street, with a nose and eyes! His facial features were no different from those of an earthling!

and many more!

Lei Ming suddenly realized something was wrong. He was at least several kilometers away from the old scavenger! Yet he could clearly see the old man's face?!

"Leiming, we have detected that your heart rate is too fast, your adrenaline secretion is increasing, and your body temperature is rising!"

Lei Ming waved his hand.

"I know, I'm feeling a little... I don't know how to describe it... I'm fine..."

"But your body temperature has risen to 39 degrees Celsius in the past two minutes, and it continues to rise..."

"what?!"

Just as Lei Ming opened his mouth, another ship's horn sounded in the distance, but this time, the horn seemed to be blaring right next to his ears! The loud noise made him cover his ears with his hands in pain, but it was no use; he fell off the reef!

"what!!!"

Lei Ming curled up on the ground, clutching his head and howling in pain. He felt his body burning hot, like a furnace, and even the seawater beneath him evaporated, sending up puffs of white mist!

"Bai...Empress! What...is wrong with me!? You...didn't you say...that the environment of this planet...is harmless to humans?"

Despite enduring immense pain, Lei Ming asked the White Queen, but she did not answer him. Instead, she spoke in an extremely calm tone:

"I don't understand. Your body temperature is close to 80 degrees Celsius, far exceeding the normal human body temperature. You should have died long ago."

"You... fuck... motherfucker!"

Lei Ming couldn't help but curse angrily. He was in so much pain that his teeth were almost broken. This damned artificial intelligence was still wondering why he hadn't died!

"It's the sun. The sunlight on this planet seems to be causing some kind of irreversible transformation in your body."

The White Queen spoke again.

"Irreversible transformation?"

Lei Ming hurriedly asked, "Then what will happen to me?"

"I'm sorry, the data I've collected so far isn't enough to draw accurate conclusions. Good luck, Lei Ming..."

It means he can only leave it to fate...

Lei Ming had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it, while the White Queen continued to observe and record the changes in his body.

Fortunately, after ten minutes, Lei Ming's body temperature began to drop and gradually returned to normal, and his heartbeat and breathing also gradually stabilized.

"Your body seems to have gradually adapted to and adjusted the efficiency of the change brought about by sunlight, from extremely intense to gradual."

This transformation has caused your body's bioenergy readings to reach an extremely unreasonable level, exceeding that of a normal human by hundreds of times, and it continues to increase at a steady, slow pace..."

"Huh...huh..."

Lei Ming was lying on the beach, panting heavily. The transformation process was so painful that he never wanted to experience it again.

Looking at his hands, he felt that the power within him was stronger than before, which felt somewhat unreal.

He picked up a pebble from beside him and threw it forcefully into the air...

call out!

The pebble made a sharp whooshing sound the moment it left his hand! In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the horizon.

But Lei Ming's eyes could clearly see that the stone he had thrown had flown at least tens of kilometers away!

A milky-white ring even appeared around the stone, a sonic boom phenomenon that only occurs when a fighter jet breaks through supersonic speeds!

However, the stone quickly disintegrated in mid-air because it couldn't withstand the impact of the excessive speed...

Lei Ming was astonished.

"This is beyond what humans can do..."

"And my eyes, how come I can see so far? My ears have also become very sensitive, have I become a superhero?"

"Superman?"

The White Queen's voice rang out again:

"This title is indeed very fitting to describe you now. Influenced by that star, some of your body organs have begun to evolve."

Your current sensory abilities, physical strength, and overall capabilities are dozens of times greater than they were ten minutes ago.

Furthermore, your telomeres and mitochondria are also positively affected, which will greatly extend your lifespan.

Once you reach full adulthood and peak physical fitness, your aging process will slow down with age. Based on current data, it is speculated that you may have a lifespan of over five hundred years, or even more…

Mitochondria enable your cells to convert and store hundreds of times more bioenergy than normal to carry out various physiological activities, and this amount also increases exponentially with age.

"You could say... aside from the physical resemblance, your genetic makeup is practically inhuman; the title 'Superman' would be much more fitting."

Lei Ming clicked his tongue, unsure of what to say.

This was the most outrageous thing he had ever experienced since he had traveled through time, the destruction of the world, and then his space journey and subsequent exile.

but…

This feeling of having absolute power is just so exhilarating!

Lei Ming unconsciously smiled, glancing at the escape pod to the side. He walked over and stretched out his hands towards the outer casing of the escape pod…

Kaka…
