Chapter 2: The Pretender

After Wang Xing disguised himself as an Interstellar Killer, his daily work consisted of patrolling and apprehending.

He tried his best to do more patrolling work so that he could come into contact with more Zombie Puppets.

It also made it easier to find surviving humans among them.

In this process, he gradually discovered that there were still traces of human activity in this area.

And he had already initially determined that this place was once the livestock farm of a human base.

"It seems there really are living people here."

At this moment, through the neutrino sensor in his skin, he perceived signs of life activity in the surroundings.

The system's female synthetic voice prompted in real-time, "Congratulations on successfully upgrading to P1 and becoming an interstellar era intern."

"Intern?"

"You have now learned how to use interstellar era tools and have gained basic permissions for survival in the interstellar era. Through these tools, you can find essential supplies, energy, and partners for survival."

"Was it that neutrino sensor that just detected life activity?"

"Yes, finding life is the first step. Continue to explore and grow, and we look forward to you becoming an Interstellar Marshal soon."

"Vocal." Wang Xing angrily raised his middle finger, "It's already the interstellar era, and they're still playing the workplace upgrade game. They're really sick."

The system's female synthetic voice did not respond.

Three invisible cosmic particle devices, hidden beneath the skin, appeared at his wrist pulse.

One quantum communication compilation and storage chip, one neutrino energy sensor, and one Miu Zi Central connector.

Red (quantum), yellow (neutrino), and blue (Miu Zi) were arranged in sequence, directly linked to his brain's nervous system.

It seemed he had to start over. The system had cleared and reset Wang Xing's previous identity based on the current situation before he fell.

Now, he could only begin searching in the direction indicated by the neutrino sensor.

When he reached a charred pit, the neutrino sensor's yellow indicator light suddenly stopped blinking. The active life should be nearby.

The surrounding Zombie Puppets wandered around aimlessly, with several of them constantly circling Wang Xing.

A figure hiding among the crowd instantly caught Wang Xing's attention.

When Wang Xing approached the person, they were still smearing black mud stained with red liquid on their face.

"Tang Jiumu!" Wang Xing avoided the other Interstellar Killers and called out softly.

However, these Zombie Puppets were merely soulless and unconscious walking corpses and could not distinguish the source of sounds.

Only the person smearing black mud on their face looked up at the sound, their eyes clear and bright, looking at Wang Xing.

"You are?"

"Wang Xing."

"Captain?" Tang Jiumu looked astonished and surprised, "Aren't you dead?"

"Bah, bah, bah, I'm standing here perfectly fine. Are you seeing a ghost?"

"Captain, you said what I wanted to say."

Wang Xing smiled awkwardly.

It was a good thing Tang Jiumu recognized him, the captain of the Ji Kong Squad.

Otherwise, if he really had to start as a system intern, his days would truly be precarious.

Back then, it was Wang Xing who led the Ji Kong Squad to the Trabit Planet for pioneering work.

Tang Jiumu, as the controller of the human base's Miu Zi Central agency, being found by Wang Xing in time would be a great help to Wang Xing.

Finding the controller of the Miu Zi Central agency was equivalent to finding the central nervous system of the human base.

It would just be a bit difficult to reactivate the human base's central system, but that was only a matter of time.

Wang Xing told Tang Jiumu to follow him as he patrolled the enclosure.

Several Zombie Puppets were already following behind him, so one more Tang Jiumu would not attract the attention of other Killers.

"Captain, how did you become an Interstellar Killer?"

"I'm just wearing a layer of skin, it's a disguise." Wang Xing took a deep breath, "It seems that when people are kept in captivity for too long, their brain circuits slow down."

Tang Jiumu came to his senses and carefully scrutinized Wang Xing, "But you don't look like you're disguised."

"That only means my acting skills are quite good."

"On point."

"Exactly."

During the patrol, Wang Xing activated the invisible quantum chip on Tang Jiumu's wrist.

This restored their normal communication, allowing them to find each other at any time later.

Wang Xing also learned from Tang Jiumu that the other members of the Ji Kong Squad had been scattered.

They were also hidden among the Zombie Puppet population, but were currently out of contact.

Tang Jiumu and the other Ji Kong warriors could not do what Wang Xing did.

To facilitate their actions, they directly disguised themselves as Interstellar Killers.

Wang Xing possesses the Eye of Source Tracing, which allows him to see the past and future, enabling him to tell at first glance whether someone in front of him is human or a ghost.

These Interstellar Killers are very cunning and often disguise themselves as Zombie Puppets and humans, mixing in with them.

Tang Jiumu and the others could not distinguish which were Zombie Puppets, which were Interstellar Killers, and which were humans.

Therefore, they did not dare to act rashly.

During the patrol of the enclosure, Wang Xing also took the opportunity to study other functions of the system.

This was a brain-implanted AI that communicated directly with his brain activity through a brain-computer interface.

"Where are the other Ji Kong warriors?" Wang Xing asked.

"I don't know either."

"System, can't you be more professional? Go scout the route for me?"

"You ask too much."

“······” Alright, it seems no useful information can be extracted.

"How many Interstellar Killers are there on Trabit Planet now?"

"I don't know either."

"Do you know the cosmic spacetime background of the Interstellar Killers?"

"I don't know."

"Then who is the leader of the Interstellar Killers, and where are they?"

"I don't know."

"Then what equipment can I get?"

"I don't know, you have to find it yourself."

Full of black lines: /

This system is really unreliable!

"If you don't know anything, then what do you know?"

"There's an Interstellar Killer gathering ahead, you're about to run into it if you go any further."

“······”

Oh, this reminder was quite timely.

A large contingent of Interstellar Killers had gathered ahead, and the assembly looked very grand.

Wang Xing gave Tang Jiumu a look, and Tang Jiumu turned and returned to the Zombie Puppet group.

The remaining Zombie Puppets, who had been following Wang Xing, neither listened nor could be shaken off.

There was nothing he could do about them, so he just let them follow him into the outer perimeter of the Interstellar Killer gathering.

The sharp blades on the outer perimeter fence blocked them, and they could only watch Wang Xing leave with longing eyes.

Entering the Killer gathering area, by estimation, there should be as many as 3000 people here.

Apart from the dozens of people still stationed in various places, all the Interstellar Killers on the entire Trabit Planet should be gathered here.

Looking at it this way, the disparity in numbers between Wang Xing and this group of Interstellar Killers was too great, so he could not act rashly for now.

He had to take advantage of such an occasion to delve into the Interstellar Killer group and learn more information about these Killers.
