I set up a shelter organization

Chapter 789 Captain of the Amethyst Palace

Zhong Hong felt a surge of warmth as he listened to their words. In this world full of unknowns and strangeness, such understanding and support were truly rare. He looked up, his eyes gleaming with gratitude. "Thank you! Your words have put me at ease."

Luo Ping patted Zhong Hong on the shoulder and said with a hearty smile, "Why are you being so polite to us? If you have any difficulties in the future, just let me know." Huang Bei also echoed, "Yes, we are all in this together."

However, Zhong Hong knew that being expelled from the human race and becoming a mutant was only the beginning of his life's upheavals. In the days ahead, he would face many unknown challenges. His body had changed, and his abilities were no longer what they used to be, requiring him to adapt and master them all over again.

In the days that followed, Zhong Hong began arduous self-training. He struggled to control the twelve appendages on his back, trying to make them obey his commands. At first, they seemed to have their own minds, moving uncontrollably. But Zhong Hong didn't give up. Day after day, he practiced, starting with the most basic stretching and contracting, and gradually mastered their movements.

In a combat simulation, Zhong Hong successfully used his appendages for attack and defense for the first time. Seeing his simulated enemy easily repelled by his appendages, he felt a sense of accomplishment. But he also understood that this was only a small step forward, and the real challenge lay ahead.

As Zhong Hong gradually mastered his abilities, the Deviant Society began assigning him missions, most of which involved strange events, each a test of his abilities and will.

One day, they received news of strange disturbances in an abandoned factory. Zhong Hong, Luo Ping, Huang Bei, and others went to investigate. The moment they entered the factory, a sinister atmosphere overwhelmed them. Dim lights flickered in the breeze, and a foul odor permeated the air.

Suddenly, a swarm of dark shadows surged in from all directions. These shadows moved with incredible speed, their forms erratic and unpredictable. Zhong Hong immediately activated his ability, his hindlimbs instantly unfolding to form a defensive barrier. Luo Ping and Huang Bei also unleashed their own abilities, engaging in a fierce battle with the shadows.

During the battle, Zhong Hong discovered that these shadows seemed to be able to sense their attack intentions and could cleverly avoid each attack. He realized that he could no longer fight blindly like this and had to find the enemy's weakness.

He calmed down and carefully observed the shadow's movements. Finally, he noticed a brief pause in its movement. He seized this opportunity and directed his appendages to launch a swift attack. This time, the appendages successfully struck the shadow, causing it to scream and dissipate in an instant.

After dealing with the shadowy figures, they continued to explore the factory. In the factory's basement, they discovered a large, strange device. This device emitted strong, strange vibrations, as if it were performing some kind of evil ritual.

Zhong Hong and the others approached the device cautiously, trying to find a way to shut it down. As they were studying the device, a powerful force suddenly surged out of it, knocking them away.

Zhong Hong climbed up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed determination: "We can't let this device continue to operate. We must find a way to stop it."

With everyone's joint efforts, they finally found the weakness of the device and successfully shut it down. As the device was shut down, the strange atmosphere in the factory gradually dissipated.

After this mission, Zhong Hong's position in the Deviant Society gradually solidified. He used his own strength to prove that even as a Deviant, he could still contribute to protecting the world.

However, Zhong Hong always had a question in his mind: how did he become an alien? Is there a bigger conspiracy behind it? This question took root in his heart like a seed, prompting him to continue to explore the truth.

By chance, Zhong Hong discovered an ancient book that contained legends about aliens and a mysterious organization that seemed to be inextricably linked to the appearance of aliens.

Zhong Hong decided to follow this clue, believing that only by uncovering this mystery could he truly find his own destiny. He bid farewell to Luo Ping and Huang Bei and embarked on a new journey.

In the days ahead, Zhong Hong will face more unknowns and challenges. But he is not afraid, because he knows that he shoulders an important mission. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will continue to move forward until all the truth is revealed.
