Chapter 239 Secret Core

Xiaoling's words "The greatest love is to allow the other person to complete his or her mission" were like a stone thrown into stagnant water, causing ripples in the hearts of everyone in the B7 bunker.

Xiao Ran hugged his sister, his body still trembling slightly, and he was speechless for a while.

Lin Che, Su Wanqing, and Lu Zhao, everyone's thoughts revolved around the cruel word "voluntary sacrifice".

In this stagnant silence, a loud noise came from above their heads.

boom--!

The entire bunker shook violently, concrete blocks from the ceiling fell like hail, and dust filled the air.

The shrieking alarm instantly tore through the oppressive atmosphere; the red warning lights flashed wildly, turning everyone's face pale.

"What's going on!" a soldier shouted.

Lieutenant Cui rushed to the main console and called up the external monitoring. On the screen, dozens of silver droplet-shaped detectors were gathering in the sky above them, circling to form a huge vortex energy field, with the center of the vortex facing the location of the bunker.

"The advance officer has found us!" Lieutenant Cui grabbed the communicator and shouted loudly to all channels: "Everyone evacuate to the backup bunker in Area C immediately!

Repeat, evacuate immediately! The medical team will evacuate the wounded first! "

The bunker was in chaos. Soldiers set up a makeshift evacuation route and loudly guided the panicked civilians to the hidden passage leading to the rear.

The cries of children, screams of adults and shouts of orders mixed together, and the scene of doomsday descended upon this last refuge.

“Lu Zhao, hurry!” Su Wanqing shouted, and worked together with Lin Che to help Lu Zhao quickly dismantle the unfinished “core resonance amplifier”.

"There's no time to dismantle it, so we can only move the whole thing away!" Lu Zhao unscrewed the last fixing bolt, and the three of them worked together to lift the heavy device.

"Ye" in the corner did not move. He just raised his head and looked at the cracks on the wall that were constantly expanding due to the vibration, with an extremely solemn expression.

"They didn't just find us," he said to himself, but his voice was clearly heard by everyone, "They changed their attack method... This is not a simple scan and collection, this is the evidence of the main brain's personal action."

Just as he finished speaking, another even more violent explosion came from above.

The bunker's lighting system had completely failed, with the lights flickering wildly, and only the emergency power supply was struggling to hold on.

Xiao Ran picked up his sister, who had recovered, and held her tightly in his arms, then joined the evacuation crowd.

"Keep up! Don't fall behind!" he shouted to the others.

Suddenly, a silver light that was too blinding to look directly at shot in from the center of the ceiling, like a red-hot iron inserted into butter.

The concrete and steel bars illuminated by the silver light did not burn or shatter, but were annihilated silently.

After the beam of light passed, a perfect circle with smooth edges as if drawn with a ruler was left on the ground, extending directly to the soil layer above.

The structure of the entire bunker began to make teeth-grinding groans and could collapse at any time.

"Go! Go!" Lieutenant Cui yelled at Su Wanqing and the others. He himself led the last group of soldiers and rushed up against the flow of people, setting up a temporary defense line in front of the terrifying cave entrance.

He held a specially made energy shield in his hand, aiming it at the silver light that continued to project down, causing ripples on the surface of the shield.

"All non-essential personnel evacuate! Researcher Su, take your team and equipment and leave immediately! We will cover you!"

Su Wanqing paused and looked back at the soldiers who were holding guns with determined looks on their faces.

She understood that they were using their lives to buy time for hundreds of people to evacuate.

The hole in the ceiling was getting bigger and bigger under the erosion of the silver light. Several silver detectors had penetrated through the hole and were floating in the air like ghosts.

"Fire!"

The soldiers pulled the trigger, but the bullet passed through the translucent body of the detector unhindered and hit the opposite wall without causing any effect.

Only Lieutenant Cui's energy shield can temporarily block the detector's scanning waves.

“Stop looking! Let’s go!” Lin Che pulled Su Wanqing.

At this chaotic, life-and-death moment, a tall and thin man in a tattered gray robe stood in front of Su Wanqing without warning.

It seemed as if he had always been standing there, but had not been seen until this moment.

His face was covered with crisscrossing scars, but his eyes were unusually bright, and contained a kind of calmness that seemed to see through everything.

It was the mysterious figure who appeared and disappeared among the ruins of the city and was called "the monk" by the survivors.

"The second core has always been in my hands." He spoke hoarsely, his voice sounding like it had been polished by sandpaper.

As he spoke, he took out a faintly glowing silver metal cylinder from his wide robe sleeve and handed it to Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing took it subconsciously. The cylinder felt warm to the touch, and a familiar energy wave instantly came from her palm, resonating strongly with the core from Dr. Morris in her body.

"We worked together in the last reincarnation." The monk spoke very quickly and in a low voice, "Remember, no matter how many people die, there will always be someone left to remember it all. Choose memory over emotion."

Before Su Wanqing had time to digest this information, a beam of silver light shot down accurately from the hole in the ceiling and directly penetrated the monk's chest.

He didn't make any sound, but just smiled at Su Wanqing.

He fell slowly backwards.

At the same time, the ceiling of the entire bunker could no longer support itself and collapsed completely with a deafening noise.

The huge explosion engulfed everything, and thick smoke, flames and countless debris flew in all directions.

At the moment when she was pushed towards the evacuation passage by the blast, Su Wanqing subconsciously stuffed the silver core into the backpack of the loading device.

Just as the core was put into the package, the unfinished device that Lu Zhao was carrying suddenly started up on its own. All the circuits lit up, emitting a soft blue glow.

Without any physical contact, a clearly visible energy connection was created between the device and the silver core in the backpack.

"This is impossible..." Lu Zhao glanced sideways while running, his face full of disbelief, "Unless..." A crazy idea flashed through his mind, and he quickly checked the calculation results on the terminal on his wrist.

"This core is not just an energy source, it carries... it carries the location information of the time anchor point!"

Taking advantage of the chaos of the final evacuation, the team has poured into the narrow passage of Area C.

Taking advantage of the cover of the figure in front, Lu Zhao quietly removed a side panel of the device and took a look inside.

He froze completely.

Inside the installation, the core seats are not three but six.

The six slots were arranged in a complex geometric structure he had never seen before.

"Not three cores..." His mind went blank, and he muttered to himself, "There are six... The Guardian never told us the whole truth..."

Behind them, the roar of explosions and the sound of rocks collapsing were getting closer and closer, as if a giant beast was devouring the path they had come from.

Lu Zhao quickly closed the side panel and said nothing. He just followed the team silently and evacuated into the unknown darkness.

A completely new possibility, far more complex and terrifying than the previous one, slowly emerged in his mind.
