Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Zhang Xun grabbed the emergency rescue strap of the Gabor armor and dragged him into the captain's bridge room.

Despite Zhang Xun's still arrogant expression, his physical fatigue was already starting to show.

Without using ranged weapons, simply using bare hands to beat up the necromancy variants is fine, especially if they are from the colonies.

However, more than 2,000 of the more than 3,000 people were crew members.

It seems like Zhang Xun has more helpers, but most of them are non-combatants, and some who have some combat ability have been killed by the zombies.

"Is anyone there? I am Xu Xian. I have encountered a bully on the road and am exhausted. I would like to ask for lodging for the night."

As Gabor was being pulled along by the rescue belt, he suddenly felt as if his face had grown longer. He didn't know if it was his imagination or something the divine seal had done.

At this moment, the zombie variants scratching at the sealed security door of the bridge all turned to look at Zhang Xun as he walked in.

Zhang Xun scratched his head and said, "If you guys are busy, you can continue without worrying about me. I'll just take a look at the real thing! Holy crap!"

As soon as they engaged, Gabor realized that his opponent was basically a Corpse Transformation nearing its second transformation.

Slapping an I-beam in the face, instead of using a mold for the I-beam, reinforces the corpse variant, something that's impossible to do.

At that moment, Nathan's voice came from inside the security door: "Zhang Xun, is that you?"

Although Gabe, who was being dragged around, didn't know what had happened to Zhang Xun, he understood that Zhang Xun had probably lost his memory again.

“Nathan! It’s me, Gable. Zhang Xun and I are outside. Zhang Xun seems to have lost his memory again. I’m seriously injured. Find a way to get me in. I’m in the way.”

"Boy, how can you say that about yourself?"

Zhang Xun's chaotic mind seemed to have switched to some unknown frequency again.

“Emi tofu, benefactor, one should not belittle oneself. Even if the whole world despises you, you should still face the light.”

As he spoke, he swung the I-beam again, hitting the mutated corpse's instep directly. The sharp angle of the I-beam made Gabo's foot ache just looking at it.

"How annoying! Can't you see that I, the master, am giving you some guidance?"

"We're all born of human mothers, why are you all so irritable? This isn't good, this isn't good, umm... *covers face* naive?"

Well, Zhang Xun suddenly switched frequencies.

Nathan hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute, Gable, have Zhang Xun throw you in! Shout if you're ready, I'll open the door in five seconds!"

Gabe turned to Zhang Xun and said, "Master, could you open the door over there and throw me in? You see, I'm just getting in the way here."

Zhang Xun's voice changed, becoming somewhat shrill: "What master? Call me the Eastern Cult Leader, the sun rises in the east, and I alone am invincible! Hahaha!"

"Are you here to steal the manual too?"

Gable was getting numb; how come his identity was changing so quickly?

"Hey, leader! The door over there will open in a bit, can you throw me in there?"

Zhang Xun planted the I-beam in the floor, pulled Gaibo onto it, and kicked the zombie variants away one by one.

With one hand forming a delicate orchid finger gesture, she took a few breaths and said, "Very well! I entrust the safety of the disciples to you. Once I've wiped out these demons and monsters, I'll join you."

"Nathan! Open the door!"

Zhang Xun wielded the plasma saw as a short blade, though he had never practiced any ancient martial arts and was simply imitating movie moves.

But it also left Gable speechless.

With the second to last second remaining, Zhang Xun leaped off the I-beam, just as the safety door opened.

With a low, sweeping throw, he tossed Gable towards the security gate.

At this moment, several of the mutated corpses outside had already fallen.

However, one of Zhang Xun's plasma saws was also damaged. After all, the impacts were too frequent, making it difficult for a weapon originally intended for engineering purposes to last.

Just as Gabo saw the security door closing, Zhang Xun's channel changed again.

"Oh my! You little devils, don't be so arrogant! Behold my magic weapon, Zhong!"

As he spoke, he took off the handheld gravitational field accelerator that he had been carrying with him.

"Go!"

Goodness, Zhang Xun is using cybernetic technology to exorcise ghosts. Although the corpse variant should be classified as a zombie, it seems a bit off on set.

The high-speed gravitational field, carrying the air in front, struck the mutated corpses, and the violent power overturned the mutated corpses around Zhang Xun.

But it also nearly caused Zhang Xun to trip and fall while posing.

Zhang Xun stroked his chin lightly and said, "How could you ghosts and demons possibly withstand a Taoist magic weapon! Calling more would be futile! Go away."

The previous battle had been delayed, allowing the mutated corpses that were chasing Zhang Xun to rush in as well. However, they never expected to run into the gravitational field head-on.

Nathan listened to the commotion outside from inside the security door, then gritted his teeth and said, "Open the door, I need to go out and help him!"

Behind the emergency exit were a large number of crew members, including some bridge staff and survivors who had run over.

Many of them were injured in the battle against the undead, and less than ten of the nearly one hundred men were still able to fight.

One of the security guards grabbed Nathan and said, "Going out is suicide."

"Going to our deaths? Maybe! But if those outside die, then we're truly doomed."

After saying this, Nathan ignored the advice of others and resolutely opened the security door a crack.

The safety doors on the bridge were originally designed to withstand meteorite impacts, so they are extremely thick.

If most people here didn't have enhancements, they really wouldn't be able to open it.

Besides Nathan, there were two other people who went out: one was a security guard, and the other was dressed in engineering department uniform.

Nathan saw the two of them and said, "Thank you."

The female security guard picked up a cutting gun and deployed two laser mines, saying, "You're too kind. You saved our lives. If we hadn't come out, we wouldn't have escaped either after that person died."

The engineer adjusted the direction of the plasma cutter and said, "Haha! Anyway, it's just a worthless life, so why not take it if you save it?"

After loading the spiked gun, Nathan said, "Let's fight our way out!"

Zhang Xun's gravity gun was out of ammunition. At this moment, he was like a demon, breaking off the hands of a second-stage ghoul and picking up the bone knife again.

He slashed the second-stage mutated corpse in front of him, then leaped back behind the three and said, "Fellow Daoists, help me! My magic weapon has malfunctioned!"

With a plasma saw, all you have to do is grip it tightly and pull the trigger.

However, Zhang Xun, whose mind was in a state of rapid fluctuation, couldn't reload the gravity gun for the time being.

Upon seeing this, Nathan immediately took the Gravity Gun, found the magazine on Zhang Xun, and replaced it.

Besides the twenty-odd zombie variants that Zhang Xun had killed earlier, there are now fewer than thirty left on the bridge.

The two who emerged were powerful allies. Although their weapons were not enough to quickly eliminate the second-stage zombie variant, they successfully prevented the enemy from charging forward.

Zhang Xun approached the three men, raised his bone knife, and shouted, "Cavalry company, attack!"

The three behind him immediately provided fire support.

Gabe, who was eavesdropping by the security door, touched his chin in confusion and felt that his face had become a little longer.

The battle outside the security door was fierce, involving more than thirty zombies who had reached or were close to reaching the second stage of transformation.

In terms of strength, they are no less than Zhang Xun, after all, these were the most outstanding enhanced humans on the Ishimura before they died.

After undergoing a zombie transformation and strengthening, they evolved again, and it took three mutations to accumulate enough power for them to gain the same strength as Zhang Xun.

If they were so easy to deal with, Nathan wouldn't have been forced into the security door.

More than ten minutes later, things calmed down outside the security door. Nathan, dragging his badly injured body, knocked on the security door.

At this moment, Zhang Xun was exhausted and leaned against a corpse-mutant, panting.

The security guard who came out had a bone blade stuck in his right chest, and another engineer was pressing on his chest to stop the bleeding.

Unfortunately, it was almost futile. If nothing unexpected happened, the other party only had three minutes to live.

Nathan commanded, "Go and pull them in!"

At this moment, Zhang Xun's brain started jumping frequencies again.

He said this as he was dragged in side by side with the injured female security guard.

"In my opinion, this wound was caused by a crossbow bolt, which contained aconite that penetrated deep into the bone. If it is not treated soon, this chest will be useless."

Gabe looked at Zhang Xun speechlessly. He treated others' injuries, but he had been tending to his own wounds for so long without even checking on them.

"Oh, hey buddy over there, that's a pretty unique look. Why's that ivory tusk stuck in your belly?"

Gabe couldn't hold back any longer, so he gave Zhang Xun the middle finger and cursed, "Fuck!"
