This gave Lu Jin'an a renewed understanding of Gu Zhilin's power.
After all, he knew best just how heavy and tight the doors of a warship were.
Now this person actually opened it with their bare hands.
Even a severely damaged warship is still a terrifying force.
Of course, Gu Zhilin was able to open the warship's door by utilizing the power of the Five Elements.
Sure enough, when Gu Zhilin opened the warship door, Shang Shixu and Cheng Yi were sitting inside, along with another repairman he didn't recognize.
Cheng Yi was clearly startled when he saw Gu Zhilin approaching.
Immediately afterwards, he saw Gu Zhilin rushing straight towards him.
Cheng Yi hadn't even had a chance to say anything.
Gu Zhilin then pinned him to the seat and beat him up.
Shang Shixu, who had just been suddenly stripped of his authority and rammed into Gu Zhilin's warship, was already very dissatisfied with Cheng Yi.
Just as they were questioning Cheng Yi, the door of their warship was suddenly opened.
Then Gu Zhilin rushed in and started beating Cheng Yi.
For some reason, Shang Shixu suddenly felt really good at this moment.
He even burst into laughter at Cheng Yi's wailing voice transmitted through the system.
Throughout the entire combat system, Cheng Yi's wails echoed: "Gu Zhilin, are you crazy? Did you come here just to fight?"
Cheng Yi yelled and questioned.
But Gu Zhilin coldly replied, "Hitting you doesn't count as fighting, it counts as annihilating the enemy. Martian."
Everyone in the system heard Gu Zhilin's words.
That's when they found out that Cheng Yi was actually a Martian.
Before anyone could react with surprise, Lu Jin'an's victory lay in reminding them to focus all their efforts on dealing with the enemy warships.
After the battle, Cheng Yi was left with a bruised and swollen face by Gu Zhilin in space.
When the Earth Alliance forces arrived, almost all of the Martian warships had been destroyed, with only a small number captured alive.
When we returned to the Earth Alliance base.
Cheng Yi had been beaten so badly he was unrecognizable.
When General Zhu arrived after hearing the news, he saw Gu Zhilin carrying Cheng Yi off the warship.
He was stunned: "You're in space, running into someone's warship and beating them up?"
"They still managed to tear open someone else's warship door with their bare hands," Jiang Jiyang reminded him.
He was truly impressed by Gu Zhilin; how did this guy manage to do that?!
"Can't we talk about the problem when we get back? Do you need to risk your life in space? You've never had any space combat training." Zhu Jiangshuai glared at him, his beard bristling.
Gu Zhilin shook his aching hand: "I can't stand it, I have to beat him up on the spot."
"Besides, if I'm too slow, I'm afraid he'll run away."
Only then did everyone notice that Cheng Yi had many talismans stuck to his body.
"You mean Cheng Yi has been possessed by Martians?" Upon seeing this, Zhu Jiangshuai understood the situation.
Gu Zhilin nodded: "It's also my problem. I only felt that this person was a bit strange before, but now I know that he has already been possessed."
Thinking about this, I realized that Li Sang's ability to contact the Martians back then was probably inseparable from this person.
General Zhu's face turned cold: "Take him away for questioning."
Cheng Yi was speechless at this point, but his sinister eyes were still fixed on Gu Zhilin.
Seeing this, Lu Jin'an stepped forward and blocked Gu Zhilin's view.
This drew a sneer from Cheng Yi.
Shang Shixu was completely stunned. He never expected that his partner would be a Martian.
So all this time I've been training with Martians?
He looked up at Gu Zhilin in confusion, before he could even speak.
Suddenly, Gu Zhilin stuck a talisman on his paper.
"I'm not a Martian," Shang Shixu subconsciously explained to himself.
Gu Zhilin nodded: "I know, but you... have been drugged by them. If we don't intervene, you'll be possessed by a Martian."
At this moment, Gu Zhilin realized why he had always felt that the Shang Dynasty's timeline had suddenly changed.
It seems that Cheng Yi drugged her.
Shang Shixu was sweating profusely, never expecting that he would almost be killed without his knowledge in the army.
And he almost turned into a Martian.
This realization terrified him.
"Don't worry, as long as you wear this talisman on your body for seven days without taking it off, you'll be fine," Gu Zhilin reassured him.
Shang Shixu, who originally had no good feelings towards Gu Zhilin, only felt that Gu Zhilin was his savior.
He gripped the talisman and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I'll always stay by your side."
At this point, the actors who were acting with him relaxed: "No wonder Cheng Yi hasn't found a partner all these years. It turns out he's no longer human."
"No wonder he survived when his partner died."
Everyone sighed in dismay.
But now is not the time for lamentation.
After telling everyone to go back first, Lu Jin'an said to General Zhu, "The Martians have already set their sights on Gu Zhilin. He's on their assassination list."
Zhu Jiangshuai was stunned for a moment upon hearing this: "Good lad, you're the first person to be on the Martians' assassination list without ever having been on the battlefield."
Gu Zhilin sighed helplessly: "I don't feel proud at all."
"General Zhu, the problem now is to ensure Gu Zhilin's safety." Lu Jin'an was speechless.
General Zhu naturally knew: "Of course I will send people to protect his safety. But you are already the strongest warrior in the entire Earth Alliance, while he... single-handedly opened up warships in space. That combat power..."
To be honest, Zhu Jiangshuai was envious.
Lu Jin'an knew this, but that didn't mean Gu Zhilin didn't need protection.
He glared coldly at the general.
General Zhu was embarrassed by the glare.
"Alright, I'll personally take care of your partner's security. Can you relax now?"
Lu Jin'an was finally somewhat relieved.
However, Zhu Jiangshuai added, "Since Gu Zhilin is already on the Martians' assassination list, we should have him assessed as soon as possible."
Lu Jin'an understood this principle as well. After all, Gu Zhilin didn't have any military rank, so even if he was protected, he couldn't get the highest level of protection.
So, after discussing it, the two decided to conduct a level assessment for Gu Zhilin the next day.
Gu Zhilin was taken aback: "Didn't you say next month?"
"The sooner the better, your rank should be finalized as soon as possible." General Zhu didn't care at all: "If you hadn't just had an exercise today, you could go for the assessment right now."
As he spoke, he asked, "Can you go now?"
Gu Zhilin shook his head and refused. He was joking. He had just beaten someone up in space, and the spacesuit made movement quite inconvenient, so he had a hard time beating people up.
Now that he's finally back, all he wants to do is go back to his dorm and rest.
Fortunately, Zhu Jiangshuai did not insist: "It's good that you rest first and recover your mental strength before participating in the assessment."
After saying that, he left on his own.
Gu Zhilin sighed helplessly and turned around to see a somewhat bewildered Wen Yili standing there.
It seems this drill really terrified the children.
