"As expected..." Ning Yu thought to himself. He sensed that this energy device contained extremely powerful energy, and this energy was very similar to the energy fluctuations on the black figure.
"It seems my guess was right. These energy devices are the key to controlling those black figures!" Ning Yu thought to himself. "As long as I can destroy these energy devices, I can resolve the current crisis!"
With that in mind, Ning Yu no longer hesitated. He began to study the triggering mechanisms of these energy devices, trying to find a safe approach route. He moved his feet carefully, avoiding the red areas around the energy devices, which were supposed to be the range that triggered the alarms.
Time ticked by, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Ning Yu's forehead. He was intently observing the energy device, his mind constantly considering various possibilities. Finally, he found a breakthrough, a place where he could safely approach the core of the energy device.
He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed firmly on the opening, and slowly reached out his hand...
"Watch out!" Mu Xue and the other team members' hearts were in their throats. They watched helplessly as Ning Yu's hand was about to touch the breakthrough point. They knew that Ning Yu was performing an extremely dangerous operation, and the slightest mistake could lead to unpredictable consequences.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment. All eyes were fixed on Ning Yu, and a tense atmosphere filled the air, almost suffocating. The team members gripped their weapons tightly, ready to respond to any possible attack. They knew that Ning Yu's safety was crucial to the fate of the entire team.
Just as Ning Yu's fingers were about to touch the breakthrough point, an unexpected event occurred!
"Buzz—"
A soft buzzing sound rang out, and the previously calm energy device suddenly began to vibrate violently. Visible energy fluctuations spread outwards in the surrounding air like ripples on water.
"Oh no!" Ning Yu's expression changed drastically as he realized he had accidentally triggered some mechanism.
"Back off!" he shouted, and quickly retreated.
Seeing this, the other team members also retreated, but the energy fluctuations were too fast for them to completely dodge.
"Ah!" One of the team members was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the energy wave. He let out a scream and his body was thrown away by an invisible force, crashing heavily to the ground more than ten meters away.
"Little Li!"
Damn it!
Mu Xue and the other team members were furious when they saw this, but they were too weak to help each other.
Fortunately, they managed to dodge in time and were not seriously injured. As Ning Yu retreated, he also observed the surrounding situation. His gaze quickly swept over the energy devices and finally locked onto a small device.
"It's this!" Ning Yu recognized it at a glance. It was he who had accidentally touched this small device, which had caused the energy fluctuation.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. He knew that now was not the time to assign blame; the most urgent task was to find a safe way into the building.
"Everyone be careful, there are definitely other traps around here, we must be on high alert!" Ning Yu said in a deep voice, his tone full of solemnity.
"Understood!" the team members responded in unison. They knew that the next operation would be even more dangerous, but they had no way out and could only grit their teeth and continue forward.
Ning Yu cautiously approached the energy device again. This time, he was even more careful, carefully observing his surroundings with every step to avoid triggering the mechanism again. He knew time was of the essence; he had to find a way into the building as soon as possible, otherwise… A cold wind howled, whipping up dust that swirled past Ning Yu and the others. Like a group of alert cheetahs, they slowed their breathing, lowered their steps, and moved cautiously through the area of fluctuating energy. Everyone's nerves were on edge, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings, afraid of missing any detail.
Ning Yu's movements were textbook precise. He used the terrain and building ruins as cover, sometimes crawling forward, sometimes dodging quickly, each movement meticulously calculated. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, carefully searching for any signs that might conceal an entrance.
“The terrain here seems to have been altered by humans,” Mu Xue said in a low voice. She squatted down and gently stroked an irregular piece of metal on the ground with her fingertips. “The cut surfaces of this metal are very smooth, unlike those formed by natural fractures.”
Ning Yu nodded in agreement. He took a small detector out of his backpack, turned it on, and a series of complex data streams immediately appeared on the instrument's screen. "The energy fluctuations here are very unstable," he said, pointing to the fluctuating data on the screen, "and there are obvious interference signals, so it should be some kind of shielding device."
"In other words, we're like trapped in a giant maze, and this maze could kill us at any moment?" one of the team members said with a wry smile.
“You could say that.” Ning Yu put away the detector, his eyes resolute. “But we have no choice but to keep moving forward.”
He took a deep breath and signaled for the team to continue. They moved slowly along the perimeter of the energy device, searching for a way to enter the building. Time ticked by, but they still hadn't found any valuable clues.
Just then, Ning Yu suddenly stopped. He felt as if he had stepped on something, a strange sensation coming from the sole of his foot. He instinctively tried to move his foot away, but it was too late.
A soft "click" sounded exceptionally clear in the silent night sky.
Ning Yu's expression changed drastically; he knew he had triggered something.
A blinding red laser beam shot out from beneath his feet...
