The moment the demonic blade pierced his core, he was violently thrown back by an unimaginable force! His body, like a leaf falling in a strong wind, slammed hard against the pipe-covered pool wall behind him!
"puff--!"
A mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs, gushed out! The sound of bone cracking echoed from the right arm holding the knife! Everything before him was completely engulfed in crimson and darkness! His consciousness, like a kite with a broken string, quickly sank into the boundless, icy abyss. Before he completely lost consciousness, the last thing he saw was the mysterious man, using his body and mechanical arm to tightly protect his sister...
The aftermath of the explosion gradually subsided.
The entire lair had become a veritable hell. The tumorous matrix had completely vanished, leaving only a sticky, dark purple fleshy paste emitting intense radiation and contamination. The mutated giant rats were dead or wounded, their remains scattered across the filthy pool floor. Large sections of the solid pool walls had collapsed, revealing a deeper, darker space. The air was filled with deadly radioactive dust and an overwhelming stench.

Tiny sparks of electricity flickered in places. The crimson electronic compound eyes on his mask still glowed, but their light seemed considerably dimmed.
He lowered his head to look at Lu Qingyi, who was still unconscious and protected by him. After confirming that she was not directly affected by the explosion and was only covered in filth, he relaxed the force on his mechanical arm slightly.
Just then, a very faint, intermittent electronic noise came from a device on his waist.
The mysterious figure paused, his crimson electronic eyes instantly turning towards the massive chasm that had been blown open in the lair, leading deeper into the cavern. For the first time, the electronic synthesized voice beneath the mask took on a perceptible solemnity and urgency:
"Hurry... go! Something bigger... has been disturbed... it's... waking up..."
