A deafening explosion rang out, and shattered pieces of iron rained down from above, churning the surrounding seawater rapidly.
Xiao Shuihan reacted extremely quickly, managing to maneuver the submarine with difficulty to evade.
Xiao Wujie suddenly panicked. Through the display screen, he clearly saw that Prison No. 0 had been breached.
The seemingly solid iron walls collapsed and shattered, explosions echoed throughout the prison, and the entire prison appeared to be about to collapse.
But my older sister hasn't come out yet.
He almost instinctively walked towards the cabin door, but was pulled back by Luo Yilan and Lu Zhufeng at the same time.
Luo Yilan quickly pulled him into her arms, her eyes revealing anxiety, but her palm gently stroking his back:
"Don't be impulsive."
For the first time, Xiao Wujie lost his composure; his usually deep-set eyes were filled with immense panic, and he struggled violently.
"Mom, my sister is still inside. I need to go find her."
Luo Yilan had never seen him like this before. Her face showed undisguised heartache. Although she understood, she still had to stop him.
"Sweetie, wait a little longer. You have to trust Li Yue."
Xiao Wujie was held down, but his eyes trembled violently. His hands were clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, and his pale lips were unconsciously bitten until they bled.
He believed in Chu Liyue.
But no matter how strong she is, she is still a human being; she bleeds and gets hurt.
He didn't want her to get hurt because of him.
With a loud "boom," flames shot into the sky, and a huge hole was blasted open above the entire prison.
In the depths of the sea, a raging fire broke out.
Even inside the submarine, they could clearly hear the agonizing screams, like the howls of demons, emanating from the prison.
Xiao Shuihan's brows were tightly furrowed, and the veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible as he dodged the falling, crashing objects and flames.
Xiao Wujie became even more restless, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of his chest, and he struggled violently.
"Let me go!"
"I'm going to find my sister!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was held down tightly by Luo Yilan and Lu Zhufeng, like a sad and powerless lion, only able to let out a hoarse roar:
"She's still inside, I need to go find her!"
Luo Yilan felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to say a harsh word to him. Lu Zhufeng gritted his teeth and suddenly roared:
"You're in such a state that you can't even walk. Where are you going to find someone?"
"If you go to her, you'll only hurt her and become a burden to her!"
The word "burden" made Xiao Wujie's already pale face lose all color.
His body froze, he unconsciously stopped struggling, and a look of almost desolation welled up in his eyes.
He raised his palm, his knuckles trembling as he exerted force.
He used to be able to flip half the sea over with a flick of his wrist, but now no matter how hard he tried, there was no reaction at all.
Lu Zhufeng scolded him for being pretentious, but he couldn't control his own sentimentality. Whenever he heard the screams echoing in his ears, he would wonder if she was hurt.
Once this thought emerged, it grew uncontrollably, making him want to find her from the bottom of his soul, to see her safe and sound.
"I can't stay here any longer!"
Xiao Shuihan's eyes were filled with anxiety; the debris falling and crashing down from above was no longer safe to dodge.
Xiao Wujie's eyes flickered: "My sister hasn't come out yet."
His rationality completely crumbled, and he grabbed Luo Yilan's arm, pleading:
"Mom, you go first, I'm going to find my sister."
"Can you let me out?"
"I can't live without her..."
Before he could finish speaking, his neck trembled, his lips shook, and darkness enveloped his vision.
While everyone was stunned, Lu Zhufeng suddenly withdrew his hand, supported Xiao Wujie from behind, and coldly uttered a single word: "Go."
Leng Ruxue suddenly snapped back to reality, her expression panicked, and instinctively tried to stop her: "Boss, what should we do? She's still inside!"
Lu Zhufeng was tall and imposing, his sharp aura sending chills down one's spine. He replied coldly, "Don't cause trouble. You know her abilities best. She'll be fine!"
"Old Lu..."
Yunmo stared in disbelief at Lu Zhufeng, who had knocked Xiao Wujie unconscious with a single blow.
"The teacher is awake. If he doesn't see his wife, he'll kill you."
Lu Zhufeng, supporting the unconscious Xiao Wujie, flickered his cold gaze, but still remained expressionless as he said:
"It's better to be slaughtered by him than to watch him die!"
He looked up at the distant sea of fire, his gaze as dark as the eternal night: "If Miss Chu is really in trouble, I'll gladly cut off my head for her."
Even that poisonous old woman said that Chu Liyue was protected by destiny, and that she would find a way through mountains and a bridge over rivers. He firmly believed that she had just encountered trouble and would be fine.
But Xiao Wujie in front of him had to fight against fate to live even one more day. Last time, he couldn't stop him, and he slept for two years. This time, he couldn't just watch him die again. He believed that even if Chu Liyue were here, she would support his decision.
The colossal underwater prison No. 0, entwined by fiery serpents and accompanied by countless shrill screams like demons, plummeted into the deep, terrifying seabed like a bewitching blooming spider lily.
Flammable and explosive materials in the prison were ignited, and the flames, like a ferocious beast breaking free of its restraints, roared and spread in all directions.
Yunmo's fingertips shone brightly, and the submarine blended into its surroundings as if it were transparent.
In the driver's seat, Xiao Shuihan's brows furrowed tightly as he gripped the control stick. While dodging falling objects, he pulled the stick all the way down, like a fish darting through the sea, creating ripples as he sped away into the distance.
The fire grew larger and larger, quickly forming a raging inferno that intertwined with billowing smoke.
The flames and dark clouds swept out at an astonishing speed, engulfing everything in their path. The once dark and deep seabed was completely illuminated by the dazzling light, and from a distance, the entire seabed resembled a burning inferno.
As Lu Zhufeng gazed at the inferno behind him, his fingers unconsciously tightened around the armrest of his seat.
The shockwave from the explosion reached hundreds of miles away. Not only them, but God's deep-sea fleet had also scattered to avoid the aftershocks.
A few minutes later, the fleet assembled in a safe area.
In the lead black submarine, a tall figure with an abyss-like presence stood with his hands behind his back.
He gazed silently at the sea of fire before him, the raging flames reflected in his dark, cold eyes, the coldness and the intensity of the fire creating an unfathomable expression of his emotions.
A figure in a black diving suit approached him from behind and bowed slightly: "Sir, it has been confirmed that Underwater Prison No. 0 has been sunk."
"Due to the impact of the explosion, it is temporarily impossible to determine whether any survivors have escaped. Should we conduct a search and arrest operation along the surrounding waters?"
Chu Yichen simply stood upright, like a towering mountain, his gaze fixed on the distance ahead, and did not reply to him for a moment.
He stared at the sea of fire ahead for a long time before finally uttering a few words indifferently: "No need, go back."
