"Pah! Playing hide-and-seek, huh? Next time we meet, I'll give you a real show of exploding on the spot!" Lu Zhaoming spat in the direction Leng Yue had disappeared. Ugh, what bad luck!
Looking around, the already dilapidated experimental base now looked as if it had been hit by a category 10 typhoon, a truly appalling sight.
The unease in Lu Zhaoming's heart was like a mosquito in summer, buzzing and refusing to go away.
"Ouch... my arm..."
Hearing Bai Yu's groans, Lu Zhaoming rushed over and saw that Bai Yu's arm was covered in blood and looked very painful.
Su Li, that enchanting fairy, was bandaging his wound with gauze, her brows furrowed. Her delicate face was filled with worry. This scene would definitely be a love story of life and death on the battlefield in ancient times!
"Lu Zhaoming, come here!" Su Li didn't even look up, but her tone was as cold as ice.
Lu Zhaoming touched his nose and leaned closer guiltily: "What's wrong, my beautiful Su? Feeling sorry for her?"
"Feel sorry for you, my foot!" Su Li glared at him angrily. "You'd better explain to me clearly what your superpower is all about? Why didn't you explain it clearly before?!"
Lu Zhaoming's heart skipped a beat; he knew he couldn't keep this a secret any longer.
After all, he almost messed up just now.
"Hey beautiful, this is... a bit complicated." Lu Zhaoming scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "My special ability is a bit... unstable. I'm afraid it would scare you if I told you."
"You scared us?!" Su Li's voice rose eight octaves. "Do you know that if we had known your ability was so dangerous, we would never have rashly entered this godforsaken place!"
"Yeah, boss! You're so unreliable!" Xiao Dao couldn't help but complain.
Looking at the people who trusted him, Lu Zhaoming felt a mix of emotions.
He knew he was wrong.
But he really... had no other choice.
"I... had no other choice." Lu Zhaoming's voice was soft, but it carried an indescribable heaviness.
Hearing this, Su Li became even angrier, and she had no choice but to use an excuse!
The atmosphere was even more biting than the cold wind of the wasteland!
"Alright, stop arguing." Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath and forcibly changed the subject. "Now is not the time for infighting. We need to get out of this awful place as soon as possible."
With that, he took the lead and walked deeper into the base.
Now that we're all here, how can we justify the risks we've taken if we don't try to get something out of it?
Not long after they left, Lu Zhaoming's eyes lit up.
Surprisingly, a relatively well-preserved metal door appeared ahead.
In the wasteland, this is nothing short of a miracle!
"Where is this? Could it be Leng Yue's private vault?" Xiao Dao muttered.
Lu Zhaoming ignored him and directly activated the "Doomsday Judgment System".
"Beep! Unknown area detected, scanning..."
"Scan complete! Identified as: Archives. Contains data from the later stages of 'Project Sky Dome,' recovery recommended."
"Let's go! It's time to make a fortune!" Lu Zhaoming waved his hand and led everyone inside.
In the archives, rows of metal filing cabinets are neatly arranged, each labeled with various tags.
Lu Zhaoming didn't bother to examine the documents carefully and directly ordered the system to scan all the files.
"Beep! Detected 'Superpowered Warrior Training Program', 'Experiment Failure Case', 'Superpower Out of Control Warning'..."
Lu Zhaoming quickly scanned the documents, becoming increasingly alarmed with each reading.
"Damn it, these guys are inhuman! They actually experiment on living people!" Xiao Dao was so angry that he jumped up and down when he saw the gruesome experimental records.
"Calm down, Xiao Dao." Lu Zhaoming patted his shoulder. "You'll get used to it. These days, human life is as cheap as grass."
Suddenly, Lu Zhaoming's gaze fell on a document titled "Warning of Supernatural Abilities Out of Control".
"Some test subjects will self-destruct due to loss of control over their supernatural abilities..."
Upon seeing this sentence, Lu Zhaoming's heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly realized that his current situation seemed extremely dangerous!
Just then, Xiao Dao suddenly erupted.
"Boss! I'm asking you, can you really protect us?!" Xiao Dao's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Lu Zhaoming. "Since we started following you, we've encountered more and more dangers! Your superpower isn't a protective shield at all, it's a death knell!"
"Xiao Dao! Are you crazy?!" Xiao Cui hurriedly grabbed him.
"Did I say something wrong?!" Xiao Dao broke free from Xiao Cui's grasp. "Since I followed him, Brother Tie Niu died, Old Wang died! Now Brother Bai Yu is seriously injured! Isn't that enough?!"
Bai Yu, enduring the pain, said, "We've gone too far. Turning back now will only hasten our demise!"
Seeing that the team was on the verge of falling apart, Lu Zhaoming's mood also plummeted.
Just then, the lights in the archives suddenly went out.
"The power's out?!" Xiao Dao exclaimed.
"Be careful! It's Leng Yue!" Lu Zhaoming said in a deep voice.
In the darkness, Lu Zhaoming quickly located Leng Yue's position using the perception capabilities of the "Doomsday Judgment System".
"Xiao Cui, Su Li, you two take Bai Yu and go first! I'll cover the rear!" Lu Zhaoming decisively gave the order.
"Boss, this..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!" Lu Zhaoming roared.
Su Li and Xiao Cui dared not hesitate any longer. They supported Bai Yu and ran towards the exit of the archives room.
In the darkness, a cold light flashed, heading straight for Lu Zhaoming.
"Good!" Lu Zhaoming roared, and his supernatural power erupted instantly.
He fused the skills of the "Doomsday Judgment System" with his supernatural abilities, creating a "Judgment Blade" that emitted a ghostly glow.
