"This... this power is a bit too terrifying!"
"But... since you can comprehend advanced medical regeneration technology after just one glance, it means that whether it's comprehension or energy control, you should be outstanding. How can you not even control your own strength?"
"This doesn't quite add up, after all, mastering strength is much, much simpler than mastering energy..."
Although Tang Xiaoen spoke lightly, his face was still a little pale, frightened by the terrifying power Zhang Chen displayed.
"That's true, strength is indeed easier to control than energy, but there's one exception..."
Xu Ruina added from the side.
"What exception?"
Tang Xiaoen asked.
"It's when his strength far exceeds his imagination. Then, even if he uses one percent, or even one-thousandth of his normal strength, it will still lead to a loss of control!"
"During the first impact, he definitely reined in his strength at the last moment, otherwise, that wall wouldn't be here anymore!"
"Now he's continuously trying to figure out what normal is with the smallest amount of force, but the force needed to reach that normal level is so small it's beyond his comprehension. So, he needs to reacquaint himself, and this process isn't easy!"
Xu Ruina said calmly.
In fact, when the meteorite was taking over Zhang Chen's body and invading his consciousness, to prevent its own energy from being too powerful, and Zhang Chen's body from exploding due to being too weak to withstand it.
Before it invaded Zhang Chen's consciousness, it had already transformed his body into a structure that could withstand the meteorite's extremely strong energy.
It even modified a part of his brain, which is why Zhang Chen could learn without a teacher and effortlessly unleash advanced skills.
To put it bluntly, the meteorite energy transformed Zhang Chen's body into what it desired. However, at the last moment, energy from another world reset it to a stable state.
Coincidentally, the energy from the other world was limited and did not have excess power to recharge Zhang Chen's memory or his modified body.
To put it plainly, this accidental event gave Zhang Chen a body structure capable of withstanding the maximum core energy of the meteorite, a brain with knowledge of all energy constructs, and an eternal meteorite energy core.
Now... Zhang Chen had become the controller of the meteorite's core. Its original consciousness would no longer have a chance to emerge and could only pulsate permanently as an energy source until Zhang Chen died...
The medic placed Xiao Bai in a safe position. The others also hid aside, watching Zhang Chen adapt to his strength.
Calling it adaptation was almost like dismantling the base.
He could smash anything, as the base's most critical equipment had already been destroyed and there was nothing valuable left.
Zhang Chen couldn't help it either. He wanted to go to an open space on the ground to adapt to his new body, but his strength wouldn't allow it.
Thus, everyone watched Zhang Chen struggle for over ten minutes before he gradually adapted to his new body and could barely walk.
"Let's go back to the camp."
Zhang Chen said to Xu Ruina.
He looked at the unconscious Xiao Bai with some heartache.
Although Zhang Chen had the ability to restore Xiao Bai to health immediately, he couldn't do it.
If he healed Xiao Bai directly, she would lose a great opportunity to improve her own recovery and damage resistance.
Zhang Chen didn't want to miss such an opportunity again.
"Okay!"
Xu Ruina nodded.
"Wait... hold on a moment!" Tang Xiaoen hurriedly said.
"Hmm?"
Zhang Chen turned his head to look.
"If you allow it... I'd like to act with you!"
"I assume you're going to the lighthouse to see Professor Tang. We are the same, needing to find the lighthouse as quickly as possible!"
"Moreover, we have communication and positioning equipment to contact the lighthouse, which will be very helpful in finding it!"
"Also... we have experienced the ultimate apocalypse and have a relatively good understanding of this world's monsters, climate, and various situations. We can provide you with intelligence support!"
"We ourselves have fought monsters and can add some combat power!"
"We are on the same side now, and as you heard, Professor Tang personally ordered us to cooperate with your team's actions. Therefore... bringing us along is all benefits and no harm!"
Tang Xiaoen was afraid Zhang Chen wouldn't take them, so he desperately demonstrated his value.
"Hmm..."
Zhang Chen looked at Xu Ruina questioningly, as these people had come with her.
The latter nodded slightly, indicating her approval.
"Alright, but if you join our team, you must follow our rules, understand?"
Zhang Chen said.
"Of course, of course. Until we find Professor Tang, you are the boss, and we will listen to you!"
Tang Xiaoen said with conviction.
What a joke, being with such a powerful and terrifying monster, would disobedience lead to a good outcome?
Proactively showing loyalty now would leave a better impression than being forced to obey.
"Good, then it's settled. Usually, it's best if you wear gloves when you're out, don't let others know you're natives!"
"After all, everyone was dragged into this unlucky world by you. They won't have good feelings seeing you!"
Zhang Chen reminded them "kindly".
"Understood, we will act carefully and not reveal our identities!"
Tang Xiaoen agreed immediately.
Seeing Tang Xiaoen's sincere expression, Zhang Chen nodded with satisfaction. He then waved to Xiao Ruan and said,
"Xiao Ruan, let's go home!"
"Guji!"
Xiao Ruan responded.
Then, a huge portal instantly opened, its size much larger than the portal opened by Tang Xiaoen using technology.
"Amazing... to have a post-apocalyptic creature help open a portal..."
Tang Xiaoen's teammates looked at each other, somewhat hesitant to enter upon seeing the portal.
After all, the Ultimate Gromos had an ability to open portals anytime, anywhere during combat. If the opponent couldn't dodge in time, they would often be thrown above the atmosphere, or into a monster's lair, or even to the bottom of the deep sea to be crushed to death.
Therefore, in their eyes, this portal emanated a cold aura of death, making one shudder just by looking at it!
Zhang Chen ignored their thoughts and led Xu Ruina into it first, followed by Zhang Wenwen, the medics, and Xiao Bai.
The others exchanged glances, sighed, and followed in with furrowed brows.
When they reappeared, they were directly in the camp.
Tang Xiaoen looked at the electronic map, frowning slightly, and muttered,
"I don't remember there being a city here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble...
Roid has stood up!
