"Cheng Cheng! Quick! Find the emergency evacuation route and get everyone out!" Lin Dao shouted the order to Cheng Cheng via the same channel, while simultaneously firing at the toad-like alien in front of him. However, the creature seemed to realize that he was not easy to deal with, and instead leaped down into the densely packed, fleeing audience seats to feast.
The entire boxing ring was engulfed in waves of human mutations, with humans being bitten and killed by the aliens. Normally, even a small amount of alien blood on a wound would cause infection, let alone now, where the attacks were almost indiscriminate.
From a chaotic yet orderly boxing ring to this hellish scene, only two or three minutes have passed.
When Cheng Cheng arrived at the elevator and tried to press the elevator button to evacuate, he found that a red prohibition signal was displayed and the power could not be started!
"Damn! The elevator broke down at this time?!" Cheng Cheng slammed his fist into the wall, turned around and quickly fired shots at the aliens while running towards another elevator entrance.
"Damn it! Captain! This elevator isn't working!"
Lin Dao turned around and quickly scanned the crowd: "It's definitely been locked out! Find that old guy West, he has the universal card!"
"Damn it! That old bastard, does he want us all to die down there?! When I find him, I'll definitely shoot him dead!" Cheng Cheng cursed angrily as he turned and frantically pulled the trigger at the onrushing aliens.
The underground boxing ring had become a veritable hell. Blaita was dumbfounded, while Donovan behind him kept pulling him forward, his seemingly concerned tone showing no urgency whatsoever.
“Breta, it’s dangerous here, let’s go quickly.” He led Breta toward one of the private, encrypted elevator entrances on this floor.
Apa, holding a pistol as a cushion, expressionlessly shot and killed the humans who rushed towards them trying to escape.
“Them?!” Bryta exclaimed incredulously.
Donovan whispered in his ear, "They're infected." Even if they aren't now, it's only a matter of time.
The elevator doors opened, and Donovan pulled him inside quickly, reassuring him, "Don't worry, it'll be safe once we leave."
Through the elevator doors, Blaita saw Mr. Lin Dao and Cheng Cheng desperately fighting off the aliens, trying to protect the dwindling number of survivors. Many humans, fleeing one moment, were instantly pierced through the body by giant arthropods…
Bretta trembled at the sight before him. He suddenly spotted a familiar, thin boy being frantically pushed through the crowd, while a giant scorpion was closing in...
The moment the elevator doors were halfway closed, he made a snap decision and darted out!
"return!"
As Nodovin watched him run back, a twist of anger appeared on his elegant and handsome face. He roared and reached out to grab him, but missed. The elevator doors closed completely and the elevator sped upwards.
The man standing behind him, Apa, remained silent, his lips pursed.
Donovan clenched his empty hand in suppressed rage, then laughed bitterly, his voice low and strained as he commanded through gritted teeth, "...grab it back."
After Blaita rushed out of the elevator, he didn't care about anything else. In the chaos, he quickly reached out a vine to the boy who had stolen his drink earlier, wrapped it tightly around his waist, and pulled him to the side, barely avoiding the scorpion's attack.
The boy was startled. He looked down and saw the vines around his waist. Then he was pulled in another direction and fell in front of Blaita.
He looked at the boy in front of him with surprise. Following the vine, he could see that the end of the vine was wrapped around the handsome blond boy, and four white roses that were unusually alluring had grown on it.
"You...you are..."
His lips trembled as he looked into the boy's clear eyes, his own eyes gleaming with surprise and excitement, leaving him speechless for a long time. This person could control plant mutants!
Bretta's delicate brows furrowed as he watched Lin Dao, who was still locked in combat with the alien species, from afar. He wanted to step forward to help but was afraid of exposing himself.
"Tata! What are you doing here?! Quick! Get out of the way!" Cheng Cheng had just retreated and shot down an alien when he saw him and shouted urgently.
That being said, in a closed place like an underground city, once an alien tide breaks out, it's almost a disaster that wipes out the entire army. Where can you hide?
“I…” Bretta opened his mouth, wanting to offer to help rescue people. Cheng Cheng didn’t care about him anymore and hurriedly said to him, “Go find your boxing gym owner, West, and ask him if there’s a shelter here. Also, tell him to get me the elevator master card and unlock all the elevators!”
"Ah? Okay!" Bleta quickly agreed and turned to run, but the boy immediately followed closely behind him. "I'll go with you!"
You definitely don't know this dungeon as well as I do! I know there's a special elevator entrance; he must have escaped that way!
Bryta was taken aback. Could it be the elevator he had just been to? He immediately took off running, squeezing past the boy.
When he arrived, everything was in a mess, and Bryta couldn't see Mr. West at all. He looked around anxiously.
"Breta, I've found you!" West appeared out of nowhere. His slightly chubby body wasn't too disheveled. He was panting heavily and quickly reached out to grab him: "Quick, quick, I'll take you away."
Upon hearing this, Bretta asked excitedly, "Are we going to the shelter? Where is the shelter's entrance? Could you use the universal card to open all the elevators so everyone can go first...?"
He suddenly felt an unbearable pain in the arm that West was gripping tightly, and looked up in surprise.
The boy next to him didn't notice and urged, "Hurry up, use the boxing ring's loudspeaker to tell everyone to go to the shelter..."
"Ha, a shelter? What shelter? This place wasn't even considered when it was built." West's flushed face twisted into a grimace as he gripped Bretta's arm like an iron clamp, kicking the ragged boy. "Where did this little beggar come from? Get lost!"
He then gave a threatening smile and said, "Breta, you're my employee, you have to listen to me, come with me!"
Bretta was no match for a strong adult man and couldn't break free. West pulled out a card, swiped it to open the elevator door, and sneered, "So you know about the master card. But even so, with so many people, how many can squeeze out? And even if they do escape, who can guarantee that some haven't been infected?"
He grinned maliciously and said, "If someone infected by the alien species gets up there, wouldn't the whole base be finished? Do you really expect those high and mighty upper-class people to care about the lives of ants?"
The boy was kicked squarely in the chest and was in so much pain that he couldn't get up for a long time. Hearing this, he seemed even angrier. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "If that's the case, then run away. Why did you take him with you?"
Bretta was startled. Did Mr. West know something and want to capture him for experiments? He immediately struggled.
"You're quite clever, but unfortunately you're about to die, so you have no right to know!" West, his thoughts exposed, snorted coldly. The elevator finally opened, and he used his large hand to twist the struggling Bretta and push him in first.
In that instant, the boy suddenly lunged forward, grabbed West's arm, and bit down hard! The little white dog in Bryta's arms quickly darted out, wrapped itself around West's hand that was tightly gripping Bryta, and released its sharp thorns to pierce into the dog.
West cried out in pain and let go. The boy seized the opportunity to snatch his master card. In the scuffle, while West was still standing at the elevator entrance, a toad-like mutant appeared unnoticed behind him! It clearly had a human-like body, capable of standing, with enormous muscles, but its face was still ferocious, and its skin was a greenish-toad color. This was the same boxer who had mutated in the ring earlier!
Both the boy and Britta were stunned, but the boy reacted quickly and rushed into the elevator before the doors closed, pressing the close button repeatedly.
The moment the elevator doors closed, West's furious scream, laced with curses, came from outside.
The boy, whose chest was still aching, relaxed and leaned against the elevator wall, panting. After a long while, he said, "There are alien species outside. We can't go back."
Bretta frowned as she looked at the master card in his hand.
The boy noticed his gaze, licked his dry lips, and suddenly said, "My name is Chu Hui. I know your name is Blaita."
The elevator wasn't activated because no button was pressed.
Bretta, still staring at his wild card, said, "We need to go back."
"Are you crazy?!" Chu Hui seemed to have been suffering from yin and yang imbalance for a long time. He was very thin and looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was already about the same height as Bryta. Perhaps because he had been living in the slums for a long time, his eyes were also more shrewd and sharp.
Bryta kept her eyes fixed on him, her lips trembling slightly: "Mr. Lin Dao and the others are rescuing people."
Chu Hui irritably ran her hand through her hair, then suddenly stood up: "Fine, let's go back!"
He reached out to press the open button, but before he could, the elevator suddenly started moving upwards.
"What's going on? I didn't press it!" Chu Hui lied a little, reaching out and pressing the door open button several times, then pressing the buttons for other floors, only to find that none of them lit up!
"What's wrong with this lousy elevator?!" He impatiently wanted to kick it hard!
Seeing his panic, before Bletta could even speak, she suddenly felt the elevator moving upwards faster and faster! They both suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness and their hearts pounded with anxiety.
The lights in the elevator flickered, and Chu Hui quickly stretched out her hands and pressed them against the elevator wall.
Bretta frowned but quickly calmed down. He looked up and sensed something in his arms. Then, the little white dog, which had been hiding in his arms, darted up with lightning speed and destroyed the surveillance camera that was flashing red. Only then did it reveal itself openly.
Chu Hui was too preoccupied with the rose vine to notice its beauty.
Bretta looked at the elevator display and realized that the floor number had already soared to almost the tenth floor!
"This is……"
Chu Hui also noticed, his legs trembling, but he forced himself to remain calm and guessed: "This private elevator may lead directly to the Mix Lighthouse."
The Mix Lighthouse, which is the giant, seemingly suspended structure in the very center of the entire base.
"Bang!"
"Bang—!"
The rapid ascent lasted only a few dozen seconds when the top of the elevator seemed to be pressed down by some enormous object, abruptly stopping its ascent and plummeting downwards.
Both Bretta and Chu Hui turned pale.
He pursed his lips and whispered, "Xiaobai, go take a look."
After speaking, Little White immediately darted up, and a white rose opened, each petal instantly turning into a blade. With the addition of corrosive liquid, it bit down and drilled a small hole in the top of the elevator. It cautiously peered upwards, then, for some unknown reason, it suddenly withdrew and wrapped itself around Blaita.
"What's up there?" Chu Hui asked hastily. Just as he finished speaking, another heavy pressure hit, and the elevator plummeted downwards again. They could sense that the cables supporting the elevator were about to break.
Bretta sensed Xiaobai's words and said in a trembling voice, "Xiaobai said it's the alien species that was locked outside the elevator door before."
"...It wanted to come in and eat us."
