The hexagonal grid pattern that symbolizes order, efficiency, and ruthless control was now stained with the monster's blood, appearing extremely ironic and hideous.
Lu Cheneng's only remaining right eye stared fixedly at the symbol, bloodshot threads spreading across the white of his eye like a spiderweb. A murderous intent so icy it threatened to freeze the air around him, like a tangible ice storm, instantly spread out from him! The mercury sheen on the Devil Blade, as if sensing its owner's raging fury, began to circulate restlessly, accelerating and emitting a low humming sound.
"Beehive..." Wen Shifei's voice was dry and filled with an uncontrollable chill. "They are indeed behind this! The Black Snake Gang... the Gray Rat... are all just pawns they threw out! They set up a signal amplification point in the silent zone and used a high-concentration reagent to forcefully awaken Qingyi's chip at close range... They wanted to test it! Test the control this reagent has over the chip in Qingyi's body! They are using Qingyi... as their weapons testing ground!"
Ajie spat bloody saliva fiercely, staring fiercely at the dark pipe opening deep in the pumping station: "Damn it! Those bastards in white robes! Brother Lu, this account must be settled! Qingyi... "
His words stopped abruptly.
Because the chaebol recorder that Lu Cheneng was holding tightly in his Mithril hand suddenly started up on its own without any warning!
An extremely faint green light shone through a tiny hole in the recorder, accompanied by an extremely slight, almost imperceptible "hissing" sound of electronic components running.
Lu Cheneng's eyes became fierce, and he instantly exerted force with his mithril fingers, ready to crush this strange instrument!
However, just one thousandth of a second before his power exploded, a faint green laser beam, as thin as a hair and almost invisible to the naked eye, suddenly shot out from a tiny hole at the top of the recorder!
The target is not Lu Chenentang!
The beam of light cut through the polluted air in the pumping station at the speed of light and hit with incredible precision the lead box that Wen Shifei had just placed on a rusty metal stand nearby to store the strange purple reagent!
laugh--!
With a slight sound, a tiny hole was instantly melted through the solid alloy shell of the lead box!
"Not good!" Wen Shifei's scream rang out almost at the same time!
Like a popped balloon, an extremely unstable, destructive dark purple energy wave erupted from the hole in the lead box! The purple reagent stored inside, whose originally regular flow of light suddenly became violent and chaotic, was radiating from it.
"Energy overload! It's going to explode!" Wen Shifei rushed forward desperately, his mental power surging out wildly, trying to form a barrier to wrap around the out-of-control energy source!
But it's too late!
boom--!!!
A not particularly loud, yet unusually dull explosion erupted from within the lead box! The sturdy box instantly twisted and deformed! Violent dark purple energy mixed with shattered reagent glass shards, like countless poison-infused needles, splattering wildly in all directions in a spherical pattern!
Wen Shifei, the closest, bore the brunt of the impact! Her concentrated mental barrier only managed to partially mitigate the impact, but several energy fragments still pierced through her defenses like venomous snakes! She groaned, her body thrown back by the shockwave of the explosion. She crossed her arms in front of her, and the bandages she was wrapped in were instantly slashed, and crimson blood quickly spread! Even more terrifying, a cold, chaotic, and corrosive energy instantly penetrated through the wounds, causing her vision to suddenly go black and her mind to be shaken!
"Sister Shi Fei!" Ajie roared, and subconsciously raised his shotgun, but he couldn't find a target to attack.
Lu Chen entropy reacted the moment the explosion occurred! Mithril's left arm blocked in front of him like lightning, the magic blade danced, and the mercury-like blade light intertwined in front of him into a light curtain!
Ding ding ding ding——!
A dense, rain-like crashing sound rang out! Most of the splattered reagent fragments and energy streams were accurately blocked and knocked away by the magic blade! However, the dark purple energy fragments contained extremely strong penetrating and contaminating properties! One of them cleverly passed through the gap in the blade light and slammed into Mithril's left forearm near the elbow!
laugh--!
A strong sense of corrosion, accompanied by a subtle sound of energy annihilation, emanated from the arm! The mercury luster flowing on the surface of the mithril arm fluctuated violently, dimming dramatically in an instant. At the location of the impact, the already existing microscopic energy cracks suddenly expanded and spread like a hard-hit ice surface! A piercing pain, mixed with a strong sense of energy backlash, rushed along the mithril arm and fiercely into Lu Chenen's brain!
"Ugh!" Lu Cheneng let out a suppressed groan of pain, his body shaking violently. His mithril arm twitched uncontrollably, and the magic blade nearly slipped out of his hand! The burning pain in the chip inside his brain instantly soared to an unprecedented intensity. His vision went black, and even strange purple spots flickered at the edge of his vision!
"Brother Lu!" Ajie was horrified to see the shocking energy cracks on Lu Cheneng's mithril arm that spread like spider webs, and his painful face that instantly turned pale as paper and was covered with cold sweat.
"I'm fine!" Lu Cheneng gritted his teeth, forcing out three words, forcing himself to steady himself. The excruciating pain in his Mithril arm was like a maggot attached to his bones, each nerve twitching bringing a tearing pain. He clenched the chaebol recorder tightly in his hand, the cold metal edges nearly digging into his Mithril palm. This was no accident! This was a sinister backdoor left by the chaebol! A precise, hidden attack, taking advantage of their attention to the reagents!
"Shi Fei?" He endured the severe pain and looked at Wen Shi Fei.
Wen Shifei's face was pale, her forehead covered in sweat. She leaned against the overturned metal cart, clutching her injured and bleeding arm, her mind straining to suppress the chaotic, icy energy invading her body. "I can hold on... Be careful... That thing's still there..." She panted, her gaze fixed on the twisted, deformed remains of the lead box, still emitting wisps of purple smoke, and the few remaining drops of dark purple reagent scattered on the ground, slowly wriggling like a living thing.
