Lu Zhaoming felt as if his heart was being gripped by a giant beast, his blood boiling within him as if it were about to break free of the constraints of his blood vessels.

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

The air around us seemed to be compressed by an invisible force, making even breathing heavy.

He quickly activated his Eye of Judgment, his vision instantly becoming crystal clear, every detail as clear as an ant under a magnifying glass.

"System, stop dawdling and mark out the map of the core area for me. I need the fastest and most concealed route!" Lu Zhaoming commanded in a low voice.

A detailed map quickly popped up on the system interface, with every corner of the core area clearly marked.

Lu Zhaoming glanced at it and already had a plan in mind.

He turned to look at Xiaomei and Xiaohu; both of them were on edge, their tension and unease evident in their eyes.

Lu Zhaoming said in a deep voice, "Xiaomei, take Xiaohu and go around to the north entrance to attract the white-robed man's attention. I need to infiltrate the core and destroy the energy supply."

Xiaomei nodded, a hint of determination in her eyes.

Xiao Hu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Lu Zhaoming didn't say much, and turned to sneak towards the core area.

His steps were light, like a shadow walker, making almost no sound.

As Lu Zhaoming entered the core area, he immediately felt a strong sense of oppression coming from all directions.

This was a huge and dark experimental field, with the walls covered with various complex instruments and displays. At the center stood a huge energy core, emitting a ghostly blue light.

The man in white robes stood atop the high platform, his gaze icy, like an eagle circling above its prey.

Dozens of test subjects were released into the field. Each of these test subjects was exceptionally skilled, and various supernatural abilities emerged one after another.

They fought each other, the scene was chaotic and brutal.

The man in white coldly observed everything, a sneer curling at the corner of his lips, as if admiring his own masterpiece.

He raised his head, his gaze like a blade shooting towards Lu Zhaoming, and said mockingly, "Judge, you've finally arrived."

Lu Zhaoming did not rush to respond, but instead used his Eye of Judgment to quickly observe the surrounding environment.

He discovered that the experimental field's energy supply depended entirely on that enormous energy core, while the white-robed figure stood atop a high platform, directing the entire operation.

Lu Zhaoming's eyes flashed, and he had an idea.

He quickly signaled to Xiaomei and Xiaohu to distract them.

Xiao Mei and Xiao Hu acted quickly. Xiao Mei led Xiao Hu around to the north entrance, creating a lot of noise and attracting the attention of many test subjects.

At the same time, Lu Zhaoming quietly approached the energy core, lightly touched the core's control panel with his finger, and prepared to initiate the self-destruct program.

However, at that moment, the white-robed figure seemed to have been prepared, pressing a button that instantly activated the site's self-destruct program.

Lu Zhaoming's heart tightened, but he did not panic.

He quickly determined that the self-destruct procedure would take some time to complete, and that the white-robed man himself was the key.

He decisively charged toward the white-robed man and engaged in a fierce battle with the old fox.

Old Fox's fighting power is astonishing; every strike carries a breathtaking momentum.

Lu Zhaoming gritted his teeth and used his Judgment Eye to predict his opponent's movements, gradually gaining the upper hand.

Just then, the man in white robes suddenly appeared and joined the battle.

He wielded an energy weapon and unleashed a powerful shockwave, forcing Lu Zhaoming back several meters.

Lu Zhaoming felt a sharp pain in his body, but he did not back down. Instead, his determination became even stronger.

He gritted his teeth and activated the system's time-delay function. Time seemed to slow down at that moment, and everything around him became blurry.

Lu Zhaoming seized the opportunity and launched a swift counterattack, striking the white-robed man with a powerful blow.

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of the white-robed man's mouth, and his expression became even more crazed.

He laughed wildly, "You can't win! Even if I die, the wasteland will be buried with me!" Before he finished speaking, the white-robed man pressed another button, and a beam of light shot out from the platform, heading straight for Lu Zhaoming.

Lu Zhaoming

However, at this crucial moment, the man in white suddenly turned to a hidden door on the left side of the platform, activated the device, and vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.

Lu Zhaoming's pupils contracted sharply, and he felt a sense of foreboding. He rushed toward the hidden door, but only saw a flash of light.

"Holy crap! This old lamp has a backup plan!" Lu Zhaoming's pupils suddenly contracted, and a million curses ran through his mind.

The hidden door gleamed with an eerie light, clearly a high-level escape route. The old man in the white robe ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Without a second thought, Lu Zhaoming lunged forward, not caring about any danger or danger, determined to find the white-robed man today!

"Want to leave? Did you ask me, Old Fox, first!" A sinister growl exploded from the side, and Old Fox's wrinkled face, like a demon, blocked Lu Zhaoming's path. With a flick of his arms, a concentrated wave of foul energy forcefully cut off his way.

That old guy is like a rock in a latrine, both smelly and hard!

Lu Zhaoming frowned, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the surrounding area of ​​the venue had begun to flash with a blinding red light, and the air was filled with a burning smell, which was a warning that the self-destruct program had been activated!

"Damn it!" he cursed inwardly.

Chasing the white-robed figure is important, but if we cause this entire experimental field to explode, that would be a huge disaster, and we'd all be singing "Cooling Down" together.

In a flash, Lu Zhaoming made a decision.

He gritted his teeth, temporarily abandoning the pursuit of the slippery white-robed figure, and turned to pounce on the enormous energy core that shimmered with a ghostly blue light.

"System, shut this piece of junk down!"

The cold system notification sounded in his mind almost immediately: "Warning! Forcibly shutting down the advanced self-destruct program will greatly deplete your mental energy and may cause irreversible damage. Confirm to continue?"

Lu Zhaoming grinned, but his eyes were sharp as knives, carrying a ruthless determination. Without hesitation, he chose "yes" in his mind and hissed in a low voice, "Enough nonsense! If we don't do it this way, are we just waiting to have a feast here? This is the only way!"
