However, just as she was about to act, a dark figure suddenly flashed in front of her, blocking her way.

"Black Wolf?!" Lin Shuang looked at the assassin captain who had once been loyal to her in disbelief.

"Lin Shuang, you've gone mad!" Black Wolf's voice was cold and resolute. "I can't let you continue down this path!"

It turns out that Black Wolf had long been dissatisfied with Lin Shuang's extreme plan, and he had been waiting for an opportunity to stop her.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived!

Lu Zhaoming ignored their infighting and focused all his attention on the core of the device.

He reached out and touched the cold metal surface.

"System, what is the termination code?!" Lu Zhaoming asked anxiously in his mind.

Just then, the system notification sounded.

[Unknown energy interference detected, which may cause the device to malfunction.]

Lu Zhaoming's heart sank.

"I can't worry about that anymore!" He gritted his teeth and entered the termination code without hesitation.

The next second, the core of the device began to emit a piercing alarm, and the space entrance began to shake violently.

Countless beams of energy darted wildly through the laboratory, accompanied by explosions, screams, and roars.

The spatial entrance was shrinking at a visible speed, and the huge alien creature let out a desperate roar as its body was dragged back into the rift bit by bit.

However, just when Lu Zhaoming thought it was all over, the device suddenly emitted a rapid "beep beep beep" sound.

"Warning! Warning! Device is about to self-destruct!"

Just as everyone was preparing to evacuate, Lin Shuang suddenly rushed towards the device, her eyes filled with despair: "No—"

[Event Occurred]

The alarm blared so sharply it seemed to pierce eardrums, and the red light flashed wildly, casting flickering light on and off everyone's faces, like a hellish disco.

Just as Brother Rat was scrambling and crawling, Little Butterfly was on high alert, and Black Wolf and Lin Shuang were still "digesting internally," the last unwilling roar of the supernatural creature was forcibly suppressed, just as the damned spatial rift was about to close completely.

But no one expected that Lin Shuang, this woman, would suddenly break free from Black Wolf's grasp like she'd been injected with chicken blood, and rush towards the core of the sizzling device that could explode at any moment!

Her hair was disheveled, and her eyes held a despair and madness that had burned away all reason: "If order cannot be restored, then let everything be destroyed!"

"What the hell! Are you crazy?!" Lu Zhaoming was the closest, and almost instinctively, he rushed forward and grabbed her arm with such force that he almost dislocated it.

But just as he grabbed Lin Shuang, his fingertips touched a cold, hard little thing.

Lu Zhaoming looked down and his pupils suddenly contracted—that was a small but absolutely deadly detonator!

The red indicator light was still flashing, like the blink of death.

"Damn!" Lu Zhaoming's heart skipped a beat, and a chilling cold instantly shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He gripped Lin Shuang's wrist tightly as she held the detonator, feeling her frantic struggles and the increasingly intense heat and unstable energy fluctuations emanating from the device's core.

His brows furrowed, and a strong sense of unease welled up inside him.

This has really gone too far!

Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, his brain working at lightning speed.

Time seemed to stretch out again at this moment, and the surrounding chaos became a mere backdrop.

He looked at Lin Shuang's face, a mixture of pain, madness, and determination, and then glanced at the small bomb that could be detonated at any moment.

“Now is not the time to hesitate,” he said in a low voice, his tone leaving no room for doubt. “We have to take a gamble.”
