Indeed, this appearance was excessively conspicuous.
Not only did Jian Mingze involuntarily misunderstand, but the braided girl hiding under the earthen wall and the purple-haired youth also gasped in surprise.
“Zhu Ping’an, is he the one you said could help us?” the braided girl asked.
The purple-haired youth’s mouth widened enough to fit an egg: “My dear Guigui… with looks like this, you tell me if he can help or not.”
The braided girl found herself unable to come up with a reason to argue.
They exchanged a glance, both able to see the shock and confusion in each other’s eyes –
“Since when did Captain Zong have such a big son?”
—-
Shen Jie looked at the man who had pulled him into the threshold space.
He appeared to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a gentle and handsome appearance, possessing a pair of amber eyes. His features were somewhat rounded, with a slight droop at the corners of his eyes, giving him a charming look.
However, upon seeing him, Jian Mingze’s eyes seemed to widen slightly in surprise.
– Then he called him Captain Zong.
Shen Jie: “.”
System can’t help but interject, [Indeed, your current appearance does seem quite misleading.]
[Host, why not just go along with it? After all, exoskeletons don’t come with ID cards, so you can be whoever you want. Cosplaying as your own son sounds quite cool, hehehe.]
Shen Jie: “?”
[Cough, I was just kidding.]
The system continued, introducing the identity of the man before him.
[Jian Mingze, captain of the Seventh Squad of “Dawn”. A Rank Four ability user of “Space”, with the ability named “Sideways Jump”.]
[Although he is not one of the few ability users recorded in the original book who escaped from the hospital, as the captain of the “Dawn” squad, Jian Mingze is still a formidable superpower user. Of course, his ability is more proficient in auxiliary attacks, and he has consistently ranked first as the most popular auxiliary attacker. ]
Superpower users were grouped into Cleaning teams according to their different abilities.
The most common configuration of a Cleaning team usually consisted of a main attacker, an auxiliary attacker, a defender, a healer, and a scout.
Just like in the main team of “Dawn”, Zong Lin was undoubtedly the main attacker.
As the captain of the Seventh Squad, Jian Mingze was an auxiliary attacker. Although he also possessed a certain degree of attacking ability, it was not extensive.
Just seeing him being so stressed out by the A-rank alien head nurse showed that.
System says: [Don’t underestimate auxiliary attackers. Top-tier auxiliary attackers not only clear obstacles for the main attackers on the battlefield but also enable lower-tier ability users to unleash their full potential. That’s why Jian Mingze invited you to help. Even if you’re a B-rank attack-type person, with his assistance in buffing and supporting, there’s a chance to defeat the A-rank head nurse.]
The system paused, [The only condition for the kill to be valid is – if the head nurse is just an ordinary A-rank alien.]
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
[This sudden mist calamity at the Psychological Treatment Center occurred without an advance team to help explore. They most likely haven’t figured out the characteristics of the “Undead Soul Corpse” yet. To completely destroy the head nurse, it’s not enough to just destroy its brain and heart. Before its body reconstructs, you need to find the “Incomplete Soul Box” and destroy it.]
[When the head nurse is critically injured, the reconstruction of its body will trigger vibrations in the box. At that time, host, you must observe carefully. The vibration time is very short, so when you strike, you must be quick, accurate, and ruthless, without hesitation.]

[“Sideways Jump,” this ability, although its name may not sound reliable, is actually versatile, capable of both offense and defense. If used well, the “Sideways Jump” can confuse monsters, leaving them unable to hit back and vulnerable to attacks.]
“Little brother, what’s your ability?” Jian Mingze asked, panting.
Using his ability multiple times in a short period, while also maintaining the threshold space to prevent the head nurse from breaking through, was rapidly draining his stamina. At the same time, his infection value was rising rapidly.
Around Jian Mingze’s eyes, some gray-black feathers appeared uncontrollably, and they were also present on the back of the hand and palm that held Shen Jie’s hand, feeling a bit soft and warm to the touch.
Shen Jie thought for a moment, didn’t answer, just raised the knife in his hand.
Jian Mingze looked at the white long knife in front of him, paused for a moment, and then chuckled.
Even the weapon was the same white color.
If anyone said there was no connection with their Captain Zong, it was hard to believe.
Although he had indeed heard that Captain Zong and his own partner were very close, but to think their son was already this big –
He remembered that Captain Zong was still in his early thirties, and the young man in front of him looked to be about sixteen or seventeen. That meant when he met his partner… cough cough cough, he hadn’t expected that Captain Zong, who usually appeared so indifferent, would also be so young and reckless.
He heard that his partner was still a delicate ordinary person. The probability of an ordinary person conceiving a child for an ability user was quite low, it took a lot of effort to make it happen.
Tsk… Captain Zong, oh Captain Zong, he doesn’t expect the Captain Zong to be like this, Captain…
And looking at the young man’s appearance, his mother had to be a great beauty too.
Jian Mingze couldn’t help feeling a bit envious.
But now was clearly not the time for detailed questions.
“Little brother, I will find an opportunity to move to the head nurse’s weak point in the gap between its attacks,” Jian Mingze said, “The first time working together might feel a bit uncomfortable, but trust me, I can find the best attacking position for you and protect you from harm.”
Shen Jie: “Okay.”
Jian Mingze released Shen Jie’s hand, stepped behind him, placing his palm on his back.
The immense “Sideways Jump” ability instantly flowed through his body from the point of contact, enveloping everything, including the knife held in Shen Jie’s hand, in a gentle blue glow.
“Are you ready?” Jian Mingze asked. “Let’s go.”
The ability “Sideways Jump” activated!
The massive head nurse’s tentacles, like a mountain of flesh, were swinging wildly, forming a dense web in front of them. Any ability users trying to approach would have to cut through the tentacles blocking their path.
Jian Mingze’s amber pupils contracted into sharp points, his previously gentle demeanor disappearing in an instant, replaced by the aura of a predatory bird locking onto its prey.
The space trembled, as if invisible wings flapped in the void.
In the next moment, he and Shen Jie had already passed through the dense web of tentacles and arrived in front of the head nurse’s skull!
The wind whipped up their clothes, and Shen Jie could feel the long knife in his hand, imbued with the power of ‘Space’, gaining an unstoppable force in the sudden dash.
If the inherent strength of the exoskeleton was initially at the B-level, it had now rapidly reached the A-level, and even approached S-level.
[Jian Mingze’s ability to consistently rank as the most popular auxiliary attacker is not just talk. If it weren’t for Zong Lin’s inherent ability to rupture space, their collaboration would be somewhat wasteful, and Jian Mingze would have long been a member of the main team.]
The system paused at this point.
[It’s a pity. If Jian Mingze could be by Zong Lin’s side, perhaps he wouldn’t have… ]
Typically, when an ability user suddenly gained vastly greater power than before, they certainly couldn’t adapt immediately. Jian Mingze didn’t have the intention of breaking through with a single strike; he just wanted to adjust to the young man in front of him.
The main attacker in his original team was also very young, even younger-looking than the youth before him. There were many accidents during the adjustment period, so he was very experienced. He had solutions for any unexpected situations the youth might encounter. Even if he accidentally swung too hard and hit him, he could dodge it… Huh?
He saw that the youth’s grip on the knife remained steady, with only some veins showing on the back of his hand. In an instant, he grasped the direction of the spatial power and used it for himself, swinging the knife forward directly.
It was hard to describe the brilliance and splendor of that momentary flash of the blade.
A glimmer, like a thread, pierced straight into the head nurse’s eyeball, as spatial power tore and spread, the blade entered the brain, ruthlessly stirring and shattering.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!”
The head nurse emitted a piercing scream.
“Go. Heart.” The youth, without any hesitation, withdrew the knife from the head nurse’s eye socket, then succinctly uttered two words.
Even his voice and tone carried the demeanor of their Captain Zong.
Jian Mingze instantly understood his meaning and replied, “Okay.”
Badly wounded, the head nurse’s swinging tentacles began to spin around, aiming at the two from all directions, like thousands of steel needles piercing through!
However, before the tentacles reached them, Jian Mingze’s hawk-like pupils slightly narrowed at the critical moment. He activated “Sideways Jump” once again!
This time, Shen Jie’s movements were even faster than before. Almost as soon as he felt the connection between the spatial burst and the blade, he had already lifted the knife.
The head nurse’s heart in the chest was the origin of countless tentacles, beating like a drum, resembling an expanding and contracting thorn ball.
Unlike the tentacles that grew out, the surface of the thorn ball gleamed with an oily sheen, giving it a metallic-like hardness.
In fact, it was because Jian Mingze couldn’t penetrate the protective shell around the heart that the battle with the head nurse had been unable to end.
He desperately needed the assistance of an offensive superpower, even if it was only a B-rank—
The young man in front of him didn’t explicitly state his ability level. Even in the astonishing blow that shattered the head nurse’s brain just now, Jian Mingze didn’t sense much power fluctuation. Therefore, at this moment, he couldn’t help but have doubts in his mind.
Could this strike break through the head nurse’s defense?
The wind whistled.
Shen Jie held the knife, his hand steady, his heart calm.
With Jian Mingze’s assistance, he regained a bit of his former strength, not much, but enough.
In this world, it was not only superpower abilities that could harm the aliens.
Humans had honed their swordsmanship to its peak, possessing the ability to combat the aliens.
The voice of the old man would occasionally echo in his mind.
“Xiao Jie, remember, being an ordinary person is not a reason to be inherently weak, nor is it an excuse to entrust the future to so-called fate.”
“Even if born as ants, one must have the heart to fight against the heavens.”
“——Strike!”
The long knife, carrying immense force, collided with the head nurse’s heart in an extremely precise arc, emitting a sharp metallic friction.
“Ahhhhhhh!” The head nurse roared madly.
Shen Jie’s other hand had unknowingly rested on the hilt of the knife as well, holding the blade with both hands, his cold and sharp gaze sharper than the blade itself.
Amidst the dazzling sparks, the metallic heart was gradually cut open inch by inch, the long knife plunged into its core, and then forcefully stabbed downwards!
Like an apple split in half, the head nurse’s heart suddenly shattered, its voice abruptly silenced, and all the tendrils suspended in the air instantly lost their vitality, countless syringes falling like rain.
The massive body of the head nurse also crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Space ripples flickered, and Shen Jie and Jian Mingze appeared in the nearby open space.
“A splendid strike,” Jian Mingze couldn’t help but admire.
Shen Jie remained silent.
He was observing his surroundings, searching for the location of the “Incomplete Soul Box” as mentioned by the system.
At this moment, the braided girl and the purple-haired youth who had been hiding behind the earthen wall also ran over.
“Brother Jian! Are you both okay?” The braided girl stood in front of them, pushed her thick-framed glasses, and asked.
She was petite, only about 1.5 meters tall, with some freckles on her face. Although she was asking about Jian Mingze’s safety, she had actually been curiously looking in Shen Jie’s direction.
“Little brother, your swordsmanship is simply awesome!” The purple-haired youth was more direct, looking at Shen Jie with sparkling eyes. “My name is Zhu Ping’an, and she is Xu Jiagui. We are both members of the ‘Dawn’ Seventh Squad. Little brother, you look familiar to me. We must have some connection. Do you want me to read your fortune? It’s free, no charge.”
He raised a smiling face revealing eight teeth, and somehow took out a divination compass in his hand, shaking it, while the beads inside the compass rattled.
“Just tell me your name and birthdate.”
The two voices were noisy.
Meanwhile, there was still no other unusual movement in the surrounding empty space.
Shen Jie frowned, realizing that the nurse might not have the “Incomplete Soul Box” with it at all.
At this moment, the huge body of the head nurse, which had been still, suddenly moved.
Zhu Ping’an felt it. As the chattering voice stopped, he subconsciously covered the part of his buttocks that had just been pierced by the syringe, turned around in disbelief, and said, “No way, Sir, the brain and heart have been pierced through, and he’s still not dead?”
Shen Jie suddenly looked up at Jian Mingze, and his two silver-white eyelashes were like bright knife blades, cutting across Jian Mingze’s line of sight.
“Take me back to the infusion hall. Hurry!”
Thank you for the translation!!! This is so exciting 😍😍
Oh it’s in the hall! Damn! Just cut again! Fu fu fu~~ everyone will know about Zong’s son! Kkkkkk
Thank you for the chapter 😍 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d had tried cloning Zong repeatedly
Thank you for the chapters! ❤
Thank you for the translation, this is sooo good!
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
The misunderstanding is hilarious 😂
Thank you for the chapters !
haiii~~ who would’ve thought the young captain Zhou was so wild-
Want to see how Jian Mingze looks at captain Zong later.. lolol
Want to see how Jian Mingze looks at wild captain Zong later.. lolol
The upgrade will make the exoskeleton have it’s own conscious and also freely adjust his body size. So when he officially “recognized” by the real world, he will change his body into a child and people will think his adult appearance is just the manifestation of his power 😌
As for MC… either still make him a ordinary person who somehow produces this ‘child’ because of reasons (hey I just realized this is also a cloning center, that’ll be enough reason.)
Or
Like I said earlier, manipulate his body data and make it seems like he’s now a power user, and the child is the result of his power (nature type perhaps.) 🤔
