"Lu Zhaoming, you can't escape!" Green Snake said with a sneer. "Surrender obediently, and I might consider leaving you a whole corpse."
"You?" Lu Zhaoming curled his lip in disdain. "You're not qualified!"
"Is that so? Then let's give it a try!" With a wave of her hand, the Blood Ravens immediately charged towards Lu Zhaoming.
Instead of retreating, Lu Zhaoming advanced and charged towards the Blood Raven troops.
He moved like a ghost, dodging enemy attacks while his gun continuously spewed fire.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
One by one, Blood Raven members fell to the ground, their blood staining the earth red.
"Judgment Storm!" Lu Zhaoming roared, and a gust of wind instantly rose around his body.
In the midst of the fierce wind, time seemed to slow down.
The Blood Raven members' movements became sluggish, as if in slow motion.
"What... what kind of ability is this?" The green snake's expression changed drastically.
Lu Zhaoming seized the opportunity and quickly eliminated several Blood Raven members.
"Time Delay" is a new ability unlocked by Judgment Storm. Although it doesn't last long, it's enough to change the course of the battle.
"Don't get cocky, the real show is yet to come!" Green Snake sneered, took out a remote control from his pocket, and pressed a button.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, a huge mechanical puppet appeared in the hall.
The mechanical puppet is three meters tall, covered in heavy armor, and holds a huge warhammer in its hand, looking very imposing.
"This is my trump card!" the Green Snake said smugly.
The mechanical puppet walked heavily toward Lu Zhaoming, each step causing the ground to tremble.
Lu Zhaoming dared not be careless; he knew this mechanical puppet was not easy to deal with.
He took a deep breath, focused his mind, and began to scan the mechanical puppet's weaknesses with his Judgment Eye.
“Weakness… in the head!” Lu Zhaoming quickly discovered the mechanical puppet’s weakness.
He dodged the mechanical puppet's attack with a swift movement, while simultaneously firing his gun at the puppet's head.
The bullet struck the mechanical golem's head with a crisp sound, but did not cause any real damage.
"It's no use. My mechanical puppet is made of special materials. Ordinary weapons can't destroy it at all!" Green Snake said smugly.
Lu Zhaoming ignored the Green Snake's taunts and continued to look for an opportunity.
He noticed that the mechanical puppet's movements were somewhat sluggish and it wasn't flexible enough when turning around.
"The opportunity has come!" Lu Zhaoming's heart stirred, and he flashed around to the back of the mechanical puppet.
He aimed his gun at the mechanical puppet's joints and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The bullet struck the mechanical puppet's joint precisely, causing the puppet to freeze instantly.
"Now!" Lu Zhaoming roared, leaping onto the head of the mechanical puppet.
He plunged the dagger in his hand viciously into the mechanical puppet's head, once, twice, three times...
"Snap!"
Lu Zhaoming finally pierced the mechanical puppet's head armor, revealing the internal wiring and components.
"Die!" Lu Zhaoming roared, twisting the dagger in his hand violently, completely destroying the internal circuitry of the mechanical puppet.
The mechanical puppet made a loud bang and collapsed to the ground, emitting plumes of black smoke.
"You...you actually..." The green snake's face turned pale, unable to believe her eyes.
“I told you, you’re not qualified!” Lu Zhaoming said with a sneer.
"So you had this kind of trick up your sleeve. Looks like I underestimated you," the Green Snake said through gritted teeth. "But do you think this is the end? Let me tell you, this is just the beginning!"
Lu Zhaoming ignored the Green Snake's threat; he knew now was not the time to prolong the fight.
He turned and ran deeper into the passage.
During the retreat, a notification suddenly popped up on the system interface: "The host has approached the core area of the ruins..." Lu Zhaoming listened to the system notification and received an urgent communication from Professor Lin. His adrenaline surged, and he felt like an overclocked CPU, his brain working at lightning speed.
"Ten minutes? That's a challenge for a master of time management!" He spat, wiped the blood from his face, and yelled into the communicator, "Old Lin, be reliable! Ten minutes, if you're a man, you have to do it!"
A low, buzzing sound came from deep within the passage, and the air became thick and oppressive.
The Eye of Judgment flashed wildly, and all sorts of data poured down like a waterfall, making Lu Zhaoming feel like his eyes were about to go blind.
"Damn, did I end up in a microwave?" he couldn't help but complain, but he didn't dare to stop walking.
A heavy metal door appeared ahead, covered with complex runes, with a faint blue light flowing between them, as if they were alive.
Lu Zhaoming reached out and touched the metal door. It was cold to the touch and had a slightly tingling, electric-like sensation.
"This thing, just touching it will give you high-voltage electrotherapy?" He withdrew his hand, still feeling lingering fear.
"Afu, it's up to you now!" Lu Zhaoming shouted into the communicator.
Afu's voice was somewhat hurried: "Mr. Lu, this door lock uses pre-nuclear war quantum encryption technology, it's extremely complex! I... I'll try my best!"
Time ticked by, and the buzzing sound in the passage grew louder and louder, as if something terrifying was approaching.
Lu Zhaoming stared intently at the runes on the metal door, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"If we don't open it now, we're going to die here!"
Suddenly, a rune on the metal door flashed, and Afu's voice followed: "Mr. Lu, we've found a breakthrough! Give me thirty seconds!"
Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath, raised the gun in his hand, and aimed it at the entrance of the passage. His nerves were taut, and he would pull the trigger without hesitation at the slightest sign of trouble.
"Thirty seconds, the moment that will decide your fate has arrived!"
With a soft click, the runes on the metal door stopped flashing and slowly opened to both sides, revealing a deep, dark entrance.
Ah Fu's voice rang out, "Mr. Lu, hurry! This is all I can manage!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Zhaoming said into the communicator, "Thanks, brother!" Then, he suddenly rushed into the darkness.
As soon as he stepped inside, he heard Su Li's slightly trembling voice beside him: "Be careful, something's coming..."
