However the instance that he had gained had allowed the other mech to arrive at high speed. With a leapt, it pounced directly towards Wang Zheng’s Golden Wheel.

Rumble...

Wang Zheng suffered another violent shock. Even given his body conditions, he fainted outright after the previous series of torture.

However, he did not feel that he would die from this impact.

When he woke up, he felt slightly better. He felt just like a mummy previously. Although he could felt sharp pain throughout his body, his bones felt alright. It was just that there were multiple soft tissue damage throughout his body and that wasn’t something that would bother Wang Zheng.

He worked hard to open his eyes to get used to the surrounding environment so as to see clearer. There was a ball of fire some distance away and there was a person roasting things...

“Brat, you are finally awake. You have quite some luck.” That person walked closer to him with a fork in his hands and Wang Zheng could see clearly now.

He was a human. Wang Zheng felt lucky. Looking at the appearance, that person was at least 70 years old and above. Although the clothes he was wearing was a little messy and dirty, the person possessed great spiritual fortitude.

Looking downwards, Wang Zheng finally noticed that the 2 calves of the other party were prosthetics... This was because the prosthetics were self-made with simple metal rods.

The old man revealed a smile and said,” When I fell down in the past, I broke both of my legs directly and could only treat it crudely. Therefore, I had said that you were rather lucky to still be well intact.”

The old man said it casually but Wang Zheng still felt a shiver in his heart. He could imagine how cruel life was in here.

After taking a deep breath, Wang Zheng regulated his own body condition quietly. A self-assessment was the most basic thing to do. Although the Primordial Regression Technique had some hiccups, it soon circulated smoothly. This meant that his body was still fine.

Seeing Wang Zheng sat up slowly, the old man was a little surprised. He handed the fork in his hands over to Wang Zheng and said,” Have some of it for recovery.”

Wang Zheng nodded and replied, “Thank you, Senior.”

“Haha, there’s no need for a thank you. You were lucky to survive and I am not a senior. Li Yizhuo, the same unlucky person like you. You could just call me Old Zhuo.” laughed Li Yizhuo. “Looking from your appearance, you don’t look like a regular soldier. How did you end up in here?”

“Wang Zheng, a student from the Elite Academy. I was participating in the Abyss trial and end up being eaten by the devouring Zerg when I was careless for a moment.” said Wang Zheng. He didn’t know what was in his hand but he wasn’t a picky eater all along. Under all kinds of environment, maintaining stamina was the number 1 priority.

“Elite Academy X. Oh, there’s no wonder then. Kid, which Region’s Xuan Class was you from?” It had been a long time since Li Yizhuo spoke to someone and he was very happy about it.

“Azure Dragon, Huang Class 7.”

Pfff....

Li Yizhuo spit out the alcohol that just entered his mouth. He revealed a look of sympathy soon after. It wasn’t easy to find a bottle of alcohol in this place.

“Are the standards of the Elite Academy so high now?” Li Yizhuo felt that it was a little unbelievable. “Are you from Manalasuo?”

“Earth Federation. I might be a little special. Old Zhuo, did you attend the Elite Academy previously?” Wang Zheng moved his body a little. He was really quite lucky in his landing this time. Surprisingly, he did not break any arms or legs. In a normal situation, even if he was to suffer a grave injury, he would usually be able to recover with sufficient medical technology assisting. In fact, his previous injuries on Tita Star were more serious. However in this place, one could forget about treatment and serious injuries would mean death.

“Earthling?” Li Yizhuo was taken aback for a moment and shook his head. “It seemed that I was here for a really long time. Kid, how old do you think I am?”

“Approximately 60 plus years old.” Student Wang Zheng was still being a little euphemistic.

“Brat, you aren’t being honest. I probably look over 70 years old. The truth is that I am only 46 years old. I have only been here for close to 10 years.” Li Yizhuo’s gaze still didn’t show any bitterness but was calm. “This space puts a huge toll on the human body. If one’s Ability X isn’t strong enough, a normal person would age rapidly within a year.”

Wang Zheng was stunned for a while. He didn’t want to become an old man when he left this space.

Li Yizhuo seemed to be able to see through a human’s thought. “What’s the matter, do you still want to get out of this place?”

Wang Zheng smiled and replied,” I have to think of something as long as I’m not dead.”

“Haha, you were just like me when I was younger. This is interesting. You have been asleep for 2 days. Take your time to recover today. There isn’t a lack of food and water in this place. Tomorrow I would be assessing your standards.” said Li Yizhuo casually. After finishing his words, he left and went aside to repair his mech.

Wang Zheng’s Golden Wheel was just beside it but it was damaged extremely badly.

The place where they were at was within a spaceship. However the surrounding had been damaged extremely badly. Outside the spaceship was a extremely huge sized rubbish pile. This had become the best refuge for them.

Li Yizhuo would go look for food every day. This was the rubbish dump of the Zergs. There weren’t just human things around. There were even some strange things from outside the Milky Way Galaxy that would been thrown into this place. Therefore, there wasn’t a lack of food and equipment. It was just that it was difficult to find alcohol.

Li Yizhuo kept a bottle for Wang Zheng. Although Wang Zheng did not know much about alcohol, he would know that a 30-year PO was worth a lot from the daily advertisements he had seen. However, time was no longer an issue in this place.

The atmosphere in the Abyss was harmful to the humans. Therefore only Ability X users could enter this place. However they couldn’t stay for too long. As for where he was, it should be the deepest part of the Abyss. The exhaustion of the body was even greater. In fact, it could be said that just relying on Ability X might not be enough.

Wang Zheng ate some things and drank a few mouthfuls of alcohol. The main rationale was to loosen his Qi channels and muscles. Wang Zheng did not need to get drunk. As long as he was alive and had his arms and legs intact, any environment would only strengthen his determination.

Li Yizhuo was observing this kid while repairing his mech. He was truly a little surprise. Wang Zheng’s ability to take things as it came was truly not common. This wasn’t just because of his existence. From Wang Zheng’s calm eyes and his stable way of handling stuff, these types of inbred warrior qualities were truly not common. He was especially impressed with the excitement seen in Wang Zheng’s eyes. Earth... had it become so strong?

He had truly been away from the human world for too long and no longer understood the situation outside anymore. Li Yizhuo smiled while shaking his head. He happily repaired his “brother” while humming a song from over 10 years ago.

Wang Zheng was circulating the Primordial Regression Technique. At the same time he was trying to regulate his own condition. It was a pity that he did not have the full 64 Point Blade Technique. If he could use both of them at the same time, he would definitely be even stronger.

The Primordial Regression Technique helped the body to get used to the surrounding environment. At least Wang Zheng did not notice how the space would harm his body.

Moreover, there’s a saying of taking thing as it came. Wang Zheng wasn’t willing to expend energy on things that were beyond his control. He wasn’t one to plan his entire life out.

A complete recovery took half a day. Wang Zheng wasn’t complaining about it. His body was still feeling a little weak and soon he fell asleep.

When he woke up, Li Yizhuo seemed to be looking for something. Seeing that Wang Zheng was awake, he quickly kept the thing and revealed a smile.

“Kid, you recovered pretty fast. Manalasuo has finally been able to come up with a working model of this sort of mech. It is a pity that it is damaged beyond recognition.”

“If there were enough materials around, I might be able to fix it.” replied Wang Zheng.

“Oh, you know how to repair mecha?”

“I minored in it in the past. I should be able to do it.”

“Interesting kid. It seems that you can already move and jump around. Let me bring you around and familiarise you with the surrounding environment first.” said Li Yizhuo. Although it was a prosthetic, it was clear that he had already gotten used to the metal rods and there wasn’t any inconvenience in walking.
