Like countless giant swords, the buildings in the urban area were pierced through by these massive steel beams, as if they were pieces of tofu.
Some buildings in the distance, having been submerged for a long time, began to collapse under the impact of the massive steel beams. Lu Yuan panicked, unsure of what to do next.
Finally, a large area of dense steel frame collapsed in the distance, and Lu Yuan finally realized that his wish to return to the middle level through the steel frame area was about to be shattered.
He gritted his teeth slightly and cursed inwardly.
"Damn it, it seems the only way to enter the middle zone is through that passage again. This place will probably be destroyed soon!"
So he quickly called Zhou Tong, who answered almost instantly.
"Lu Yuan, this is bad! The termites seem to have discovered our plan to detonate the rock layer. They've started gnawing at the steel frame area, and a large number of termites have already broken through the rock layer. The steel frame area is no longer safe. You'd better not come up from the steel frame area!"
"I know that the steel frame area has already collapsed! What's the attitude of the middle layer area now? Are they still going to detonate the rock layer?"
"That's right, they're still trying to restore the control system. All we can do now is wait!"
"Damn it, I didn't expect things to get this tense. I'll head to the entrance/exit now!"
"Take care, brother. You must come back. We're waiting for you here! We'll do everything we can to buy you time!"
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan felt an unusual heaviness in his heart.
He hadn't expected the middle section to move so quickly; in just a short time, termites had already appeared in the steel frame section.
If this drags on any longer, the consequences of the explosion may become problematic, and those in the middle management definitely do not want to see termites ravage their area.
So he put away his phone and quickly left the building. As for the bespectacled man who went to look for the drone, Lu Yuan didn't care anymore. He fled the building as fast as he could, constantly shining his flashlight around to check his surroundings.
It seemed that the seepage zone above had become larger, and the water flow below had become unusually rapid, with countless water columns constantly scouring the urban area with a rushing sound.
The steel frame above was still collapsing. Lu Yuan held the dimensional crystal tightly in his hand and kept adjusting his position to avoid the steel frame area above as much as possible.
Several times he was nearly hit by the steel frame above, but fortunately, Lu Yuan was protected by the dimensional crystal, so no major accidents occurred.
Finally, Lu Yuan arrived at the building located below the middle-level area.
Because these buildings are located below the middle level and have direct access to it, they do not have steel frames above them. The location where the steel frame collapsed is several kilometers away from this building, and it took Lu Yuan nearly two hours to finally reach it.
After leaving the danger zone, Lu Yuan felt a sense of relief. However, he still didn't have much time left. If the rock layer above exploded, a large amount of groundwater would flood into the city, which would have a fatal impact on him.
Lu Yuan's heart sank. He then shone his flashlight toward the building. The elevators in the middle section were only a few floors away. Lu Yuan quickly arrived at the elevator floor.
This building has been abandoned for so long that the entire building has begun to show signs of mold due to the damp environment.
The ground was covered in moss, and every step made it wet and slippery. Lu Yuan could only walk as carefully as possible to avoid falling.
Finally, we reached the top of the continent, where rows of elevators had come to a complete stop.
These elevators are approximately several hundred meters high, equivalent to the height of a building with more than one hundred floors.
The height of over a hundred floors is enough to give people in the middle floors a long time to catch their breath, so the middle floors are relatively safe for now.
So, Lu Yuan kicked open the elevator's safety door, revealing a bottomless abyss in front of him. The elevator had already stopped operating; all the elevators had been dragged to the middle floor.
Looking at the bottomless elevator shaft, which resembled an abyss, Lu Yuan felt a wave of oppression wash over him.
"Oh, it seems the only way up is from here!"
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, then flipped over and jumped into the elevator shaft, gripping the emergency staircase tightly. He shone his flashlight upwards and saw that the elevator above was gone; all Lu Yuan saw was a thick layer of concrete.
Then Lu Yuan fixed the flashlight to his shoulder, pointed the flashlight beam at the area he was going to climb, and then used his hands and feet to grab the ladder and climb upwards.
After climbing for about ten minutes, Lu Yuan could no longer see the location of the entrance he had just entered.
Just then, a series of urgent rings came from the phone, and Lu Yuan quickly picked up the phone and answered it.
"Lu Yuan, something bad has happened! The people in the middle layer have now taken control of the detonator. They are currently measuring the fuel concentration in the cavern of the rock layer. They are about to detonate the rock layer?"
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, Lu Yuan felt his heart begin to pound wildly. An unprecedented sense of tension made him instantly look down.
