Lantern Sister is still very capable.

"I am Xiao Yuan." A familiar voice came, but Chu Deng did not let her guard down. She stared at the door and silently activated her senses.

Her intuition told her that something was wrong.

Seemingly sensing her silence, the door was slammed open with a loud bang, and several people rushed in, blocking the entrance completely.

The man in the lead pointed a gun at Chu Deng and said with a smile, "Behave yourself, or I'll give you a quick death later."

The gun was pointed at his head, already chambered, and the leader's finger was on the trigger. With just a slight movement, he could send Chu Deng spitting out a peanut.

Chu Deng stared at the gun. The gun body was silver-white with gray patterns, as if the gun had been tattooed. Behind the barrel, which he held, there was something like a snake coiled up, and at the very top, there were two laser dots that were glowing red.

This doesn't look like an ordinary gun. Chu Deng stood up, thinking to himself.

"Don't move." The man with the gun stared intently at Chu Deng, then gestured with his chin to the people beside him. Two burly men stepped forward, pressed down on Chu Deng's shoulders, pushed her into a corner, and tied her up with ropes.

Two more people walked into the suite inside the room; Jin Dahai was inside.

Chu Deng and the other two stayed in a suite. Chu Deng was the guard in a separate room, while Jin Dahai and Xiao Yuan shared a room inside. Xiao Yuan had just gone to the deck to get some fresh air, so only Jin Dahai was inside, watching his daughter play the game.

Chu Deng assessed the strength of the group based on their relative abilities. Since things were still unclear, he decided to feign weakness to gauge their intentions. It wouldn't be good if they committed suicide in a real fight.

She lowered her head, concealing her bloodshot eyes. Through thermal imaging, she saw that several people had capsules hidden between their teeth, which should contain poison. The other party was organized and disciplined. Unless Chu Deng made a move to confuse them all, these superhumans would not be too slow to react. If they were a step too late, they would crush the capsules and commit suicide.

The two people carefully opened the door and cautiously entered the room, only to find it completely empty after a thorough search. They then shouted out.

"Boss, there's no one inside!"

"boom--"

Upon hearing this, one of the two men surrounding Chu Deng immediately pressed his elbow down on Chu Deng's shoulder blade, while the other conjured blue ice in his palm to freeze Chu Deng's body from the neck down, restricting her movement. "Tell me! Who exactly are you people?"

The two men were interrogating Chu Deng. The leader, who was called the boss, had a smirk on his face and was staring at Chu Deng with a dark look in his eyes. He was waiting for news of Xiao Yuan's men on the deck.

"Nobody's here." Less than five minutes later, someone rushed over, panting, and said to the leader.

The leader frowned deeply, raised his gun, and approached Chu Deng, who was being held down. "A cop?"

Another smuggler... but this time they seem more professional? Recalling the last time Hong Shang was caught, Chu Deng realized that this place might have been developing for a longer time. He just didn't know what they were smuggling, which was worth installing a capsule on.

There hadn't been much interaction between them, and they hadn't been able to gather any useful information. Chu Deng wasn't particularly patient enough to continue passively waiting for them to expose themselves. She glanced at the five people out of the corner of her eye, trying to determine who was more valuable and who had a stronger will to survive. If they were even a second slower, she was confident she could break the jaws of two of them and keep them alive for questioning.

"Where are you looking? Are you looking for death!" The person holding Chu Deng moved their arm up, pressing on the blood vessel in Chu Deng's neck. The force was so great that Chu Deng's face instantly turned red.

"Wait...she should be an ordinary person—" The person who had sealed Chu Deng with ice saw that she was having difficulty breathing, and that two people had run away, leaving only Chu Deng, and fearing that she would be killed, quickly spoke up to stop their companion.

"Big Head!" the leader suddenly shouted, "Don't kill him!"

Chu Deng's eyelashes trembled, and she almost burst out laughing. Fortunately, she was cold-blooded by nature and would not easily laugh. She was determined to finish the performance before making her move.

However, to be fair, the person holding her neck did have a bigger head and a wider forehead than the other four, making him look like a rich kid.

Seeing that Chu Deng wasn't going to open her mouth, Da Tou got bored and punched her hard in the stomach with his fist. He was a little stunned when he pulled his hand back, feeling that something was wrong.

"Boss, this guy..."

Big Head loved to punch people. He had been a hooligan since childhood. After his father went to prison for domestic violence, his mother remarried, and the elders in his family were unwilling to take care of him. After dropping out of school, he spent his days collecting protection money with those gang leaders. Later, he was recruited into a small gang. He couldn't do murder or arson, so his daily routine consisted of fighting and collecting protection money. Then, the small gang was incorporated into Fusheng Shipbuilding, and he even got a job as a crew member, which can be considered as going ashore and going straight.

He has hit many people, men and women, young and old. Many of them lack exercise and have little muscle, so their punches are soft. Only his fists are hard. People who have trained have abdominal muscles, and he has hit them too. After hitting them, his fists would hurt a lot, but he would pretend that they didn't hurt, afraid that others would notice.

Since he became a metal-type ability user, his strength has greatly increased. Fusheng Shipbuilding has trained ability users according to their different attributes and personal habits.

Big Head loves to punch people, so the instructors sent by Fusheng Shipbuilding applied for metal that could be disguised as skin for him to wear on his hands. This allowed him to practice his control over metal-based abilities at any time, and also made it impossible for others to tell that he was actually wearing a pair of "boxing gloves".

Although his punch wasn't very powerful, it felt like a pair of iron hammers had struck Chu Deng in the stomach. Although Chu Deng showed signs of pain, he didn't appear to be in a disheveled state, and the sensation was different.

It wasn't the slight bounce of abdominal muscles, nor the softness of someone who hadn't exercised at all; rather, it was a rebound, as if his force had been bounced back without causing her any harm.

Big Head opened his mouth as if to say "something's not right," but Chu Deng heard the change in his heartbeat. Chu Deng thought to himself that his acting skills were indeed lacking, and decisively attacked. The flames that erupted from his body melted the ice, his fingers became like knives, and his fingertips slid forward. The force was not great, but the speed was extremely fast, easily cutting open the skin on Big Head's neck.

"呲呲-"

"Hmm?" Chu Deng didn't hear the sound of blood splattering, nor did she see the scene of skin being cut open. The skin on Da Tou's neck was like a steel plate, and after being cut open by her fingertips, tiny sparks appeared!

All six people present were shocked. Five of them were surprised by Chu Deng's sudden attack, while Chu Deng was surprised by the opponent's high technology.

No, even her "eagle eyes" couldn't see the artificial skin with a metallic camouflage around the big head's neck!

Tough nut to crack!

Both of them thought the same thing at the same time.

The leader reacted extremely quickly, pulling the trigger, but then turned the gun around, not aiming it at Chu Deng's head, but firing four shots in quick succession, each hitting one of Chu Deng's limbs.

"Fire type? Chu Deng? It's that Chu Deng." The leader quickly confirmed Chu Deng's identity. Their superiors were paying close attention to Hai City and had instructed them to collect information on Hai City's ability users while they were in the city. Chu Deng was also a key person they were monitoring.

"Bang bang—" Four different lights flashed by, and Chu Deng's vision briefly disappeared. Filled with doubt, she immediately turned off her thermal imaging perception. While dodging the bullets, she took the initiative to dislocate his jaw before the ice-type could react, leaving him alive for the time being.

The wall was smashed, and sparks still clung to the building debris, dust scattered everywhere. Chu Deng glanced at the wall behind him.

The commotion was less like a bullet and more like an attack by a superhuman. The wall was in four different states: a large hole blasted open by flames in the upper left corner, frost emanating from the lower left corner, wind blades leaving streaks on the wall in the upper right corner, and a lump of mud in the lower right corner with muddy water flowing down the wall, like a naughty child throwing mud on it.

"It's unstable."

Chu Deng, with her sharp ears, heard the man mutter something, and her eyes lit up instantly as she stared intently at the gun in his hand.

Although the power wasn't strong, it's certain that the supernatural marks on the wall were caused by this gun, not by the person wielding it. What does that mean? What does that mean!

If this thing were mass-produced, I can't imagine how satisfying it would be to give one to every ordinary person in the apocalypse and kill zombies!

Even now, with this kind of weapon, fighting alien plants and beasts is no longer just a job for people with superpowers; ordinary people can also participate!

This will undoubtedly reduce the conflict between ordinary people and those with superpowers!

She wants to.

Chu Deng was determined to succeed.
