Chapter 34
The vibrations in the ceiling above my head became stronger and stronger, as if there were many huge monsters rushing forward on the upper level.
The world seemed to be collapsing at any moment, and Amber quickly regained consciousness, "What do we do now!?"
Aji and Xiaotuo looked as if they were about to scream as soon as they found their voices.
Lu Mi turned the silver spear and said, "Take this man to the elevator immediately."
The leader pointed at by Lu Mi seemed to have been completely devastated by the fact that "the adults had abandoned them". Now he just sat motionless on the ground, having lost the will to resist.
"Are we going to the third floor to find Warden Xiao Lun?" An Bo asked hurriedly.
"No, have you forgotten? The Scott he mentioned is also on the third floor. It's impossible for Xiao Lun not to notice such a big commotion, but he didn't react for a long time. Maybe something happened over there, or maybe he was too busy to deal with it."
"Then..." Unable to remain as calm as the silver-eyed young man, the few people who were at a loss tried hard to listen to each other's analysis.
"Go to the first and second floors and notify the prison guards there to support Xiao Lun, then go find the other exchange students." Lu Mi picked up the leader on the ground and threw him to them. "This is an important witness. Don't let him die."
After quickly saying these words, Lu Mi pointed his gun and cut a path to the elevator through the broken walls.
"Live well," he said.
An Bo and the others took a deep breath, quickly carried the man and ran towards the elevator. The next second, they suddenly turned back to look at Lu Mi who was standing still. "What are you going to do? Don't you want to come with us?"
"Me?" The silver-eyed young man seemed to smile softly, but did not answer them. He only urged gently, "Go."
"..." An Bo knew that now was not the time to continue to worry. He gritted his teeth and chose to believe the silver-eyed young man, "Take care!"
The elevator slowly closed in the red eyes of An Bo and others. However, unlike what they imagined as a "tragic young man who stayed alone to cover the rear", Lu Mi slowly stretched out his five fingers, with an interested smile on the corner of his mouth.
It was as if a lion that was about to fall asleep finally smelled a rare prey, slowly opened its eyes a crack, and revealed a lazy and excited posture.
"boom--!"
Just after Anbo and others left the elevator, the elevator passage was immediately blocked by the army coming down from the upper floor. This was the only way for them to leave their floor.
However, for hundreds of alien species, this narrow passage was too crowded, as if they were being forced into a small bottle mouth. The feeling of suffocation made all beings more violent.
Air, freedom, the smell of the wind...!
Amidst countless roars, they suddenly felt a vast, unobstructed airflow! That meant a passage that was fully capable of accommodating them, and that the outside world was right before their eyes!
In an instant, the monsters that were climbing down the elevator shaft on the upper floor changed direction and suddenly rushed open the elevator door on the fourth floor!
The next second, the entire fourth floor's completely open environment was exposed before their eyes.
Not far away was a huge gap, and the strong wind from the outside rushed in. The extremely fresh air made the rough storm become ecstatic for them.
Of course, some monsters chose to continue going down through the elevator, but they were as slow and sparse as a traffic jam.
“…”
Lu Mi looked at the alien species struggling to crawl out of the elevator shaft.
They shook their bodies, revealing the anger and surging emotions that had finally been released after being suppressed for a long time, and bared their fangs wildly and wantonly at the gap that symbolizes freedom.
These alien species didn't even seem to notice him at all. Their minds and eyes were filled with the thought of regaining their freedom. The next second, they rushed straight towards the gap!
"This won't do." The silver-eyed young man murmured in a low voice, then suddenly raised his eyes, and the silver light in his hand flashed like a fleeting meteor.
Instantly, a silver-blue invisible force swept across. The entire row of aliens at the front were instantly driven back like a wave, roaring in pain as if struck by a sledgehammer, and flew back the way they came.
The splattered blood and the young man's silver eyes reflected a strange glow, revealing a breathtaking luster.
The repelled aliens crashed heavily into the second wave behind them, and suddenly chaotic roars filled the air.
Finally, more and more alien species stumbled and stood up quickly, and they noticed the small figure standing in front of the gap.
The silver-eyed young man stood alone in front of the exit, his gun across his shoulders, staring at all of them who were looking at him and saying, "No passage ahead."
…
On the other side, the third floor of the big prison.
Ten minutes ago, Xiao Lun knocked down the escaped CG5567, and led a group of prison guards on the lower three floors to look at the group of people who were slowly approaching.
"Scott, you've neglected your duty. Take your garbage and get out of here."
"Hahaha, Xiao Lun is indeed your match. This monster is no match for you. It's a pity that you are the warden of the prison. If you were outside, you would have made a name for yourself in the supernatural world long ago."
"..." Xiao Lun frowned slightly and looked at the man in front of him who seemed a little strange.
Then the next second, Xiao Lun suddenly rolled to the side.
Countless laser guns were shot at the defenseless prison guards on the three lower floors. In an instant, there were screams of pain and blood flowed like a river.
"This huge prison has ruined so many people's futures. Why should we, who are all talented people, be locked up in here for life..." Scott raised his hand slightly, signaling his men to stop shooting.
At this moment, the only person still standing on the opposite side was Xiao Lun, who reacted the fastest.
Scott extended his hand and smiled condescendingly. "Come over to me, Xiao Lun. After today, Tartarus will be history, and everyone will be liberated! Come outside with me and pledge allegiance to that lord with me. We can still be colleagues, and we won't have to guard this dark place anymore. We'll have everything we need!"
However, Xiao Lun only looked at the other severely injured subordinates and took a deep breath, his chest heaving, and smiled with murderous intent, "No wonder I always thought you were suspicious these past few years. It turns out you found a backer outside. The former liaison officer of the big prison has become a good dog."
"You...!" Scott gave him a cold look and withdrew his hand. "It seems that Warden Xiao Lun has refused. In that case, I will grant your wish..."
Suddenly, an explosion sounded above their heads. Scott looked at Xiao Lun's suddenly ugly face and smiled cruelly, "Die here with your most important prison."
After today, no one will know what happened here. When all those who knew about it fall into eternal sleep, he will take on a new identity and usher in a brand new beginning filled with a bright future!
With a wave of his hand, Scott brought a huge crowd that instantly submerged Xiao Lun. Scott then led the remaining people towards the elevator, heading straight for the first floor exit. However, after the elevator landed on the first floor, it collided with another group of people coming towards it.
The group of people followed Lu Mi's instructions and called all the first-floor prison guards and exchange students such as An Bo.
After an initial moment of shock, Scott quickly reacted and shouted, "Notify everyone! Warden Xiao Lun has rebelled against the prison and is now slaughtering the guards on the third floor. Immediately seal off the third floor and all areas above..."
"What? How could Warden Xiao Lun do this?!" The prison guards on the three lower floors were instantly at a loss, all shocked in disbelief.
And Amber quickly grabbed the leader and pressed his head towards Scott, "Is it him!?"
Leader: “…It’s him.”
Amber raised his finger and pointed, shouting louder than Scott, who hadn't finished speaking, "He's the culprit behind the explosion on the fourth floor. We can't let him go! Everyone, catch him!"
“!”
After hearing this, everyone's expressions became even more confused. "What? Are you talking about Liaison Officer Scott...?!"
Whether it was Scott or Xiao Lun, both were high-ranking officials in a major prison, and now they were both accused of serious crimes! What was going on today? Has the world gone mad?
Scott glanced at Amber, who wasn't wearing a prison guard uniform, and sneered, "It seems like this year's exchange students are all very capable..." He still remembered the silver-eyed young man who had ruined his plans, whom he had never met. "I now suspect you're secretly colluding with Xiao Lun—arrest them!"
Suddenly, Scott's men rushed forward, and Anbo would certainly not surrender. The thought that Lu Mi might be in great danger, all because of the man before him, made Anbo's anger uncontrollable.
While the other prison guards were still in a frenzy, not knowing what to do, the rest of the exchange students, under the roars of Aji and Xiaotuo, chose to join the battle.
Aji: "Find out who is ours! You don't know it yourself, but every minute and every second of peace we have now is fought for by Lu Mi. We must at least catch this person——!"
Xiao Tuo: "We are friends because we came from the same aircraft. Why are you being so cowardly? Go and kill him!"
Perhaps this is the fearlessness of a newborn calf. Compared to the prison guards who have been in the big prison for many years, the exchange students were successfully aroused after the initial hesitation!
"We don't know what exactly happened, but it looks like we owed someone a favor. Hey, explain it to me clearly later!" The exchange students immediately huddled together and looked at Scott and the others. "Since you started it, let's show you how awesome we are!"
…
The battlefield between humans and the battlefield between humans and monsters are clearly divided.
While the battle between humans had just begun, humans and monsters had already finished the first round of competition.
In front of the huge gap on the fourth floor, countless monsters were lying on the ground miserably, groaning unconsciously.
When the silver-eyed young man casually waved the silver spear, their limbs twitched in unison, as if they recalled the tragic scene just now.
...How could this be!?
Whether it was a one-on-one fight, a sneak attack, or even using despicable human wave tactics to attack the gap together, hoping that at least one alien species would be able to escape in the muddy waters, but -
No!
Not one!
The place where that person was seemed to be the strongest line of defense in the world. Just one person created a deep gap between them and the sky outside.
How could this be human?! They'd only been locked up in a large prison for a few years, how could they not know that such a terrifying existence had emerged in the outside world?!
Just as the monsters' eyes were bloodshot, they were gasping for breath and were in deep despair, a plant-like alien species moved out from among them tremblingly.
The plant-like alien walked extremely slowly, as if it had just squeezed out of the elevator shaft with great difficulty. It trembled with every step and looked extremely weak.
A group of wounded aliens looked on coldly with despair, and sarcastically said self-deprecatingly: This guy is even weaker than them, and he actually overestimates his own abilities and comes here to deliver food!
However, what all the aliens did not expect was that the silver-eyed young man who was ruthless and cold-blooded to them did not take action this time!
"Lu, Lord Lu Mi..."
The weak and insignificant plant-like species moved all the way to the front of the silver-eyed young man, reaching a distance that none of them could stay at.
Lu Mi squatted down slightly, looking at the alien whose branches and leaves were squeezed off, and said lightly: "Are you the little friend that Xiaolu mentioned?"
Little Green was the plant species he had met on the second floor. It had said that there was a friend upstairs who often relayed messages to it. It was its friend who had given it advance warning of the prison riot.
"Yes, yes, Lord Lu Mi. Xiaolu told me everything about you. Can I surrender to you?"
The aliens stared at each other with wide eyes, disbelief. They were actually saying this to a human...! Where's your pride as a creature of the abyss?! If you give in so easily, what dignity will we have left?
The next second, they saw the silver-eyed young man curl his lips and smile.
Despite their different races, most powerful abyss creatures will possess the ability of mimicry in the later stages. In other words, the more powerful the abyss creatures, the more their aesthetics will be closer to human form.
At this moment, there seemed to be a silver moon hidden in the young man's eyes. Perhaps it was because they had only seen the other party's coldness, so this moment of tenderness made them feel dizzy.
Unfortunately, this moment of softness was not for them. When I realized this, I felt inexplicably depressed for some reason.
"Of course." The invincibly powerful human extended a hand. That hand—the very hand that held the weapon and defeated them like a god of death. Now, he gently touched the plant's branches and nodded, "Follow me."
The young man paused and said, "Don't cause trouble, or this will be their fate."
"Yeah!" The plant-type alien's joy was beyond words. It glanced at the other aliens behind it, who were much more powerful than it, with complicated expressions. "I will definitely listen to you and won't do anything stupid!"
Aliens: “…”
Then, they watched the silver-eyed young man put the silver gun aside and took out a small machine.
This moment of abandoning their weapons is undoubtedly a new opportunity for them! But—
"Be good." The young man with silver eyes glanced at them sharply. His cold but arrogant eyes made the hearts of the alien species who followed the law of the jungle and pursued strength jump.
When they realized it, they subconsciously wanted to nod.
The huge beast body lay on the cold ground, but its chest was heaving violently with its hot breath. They shamefully suppressed this inexplicable impulse, gritting their teeth and their limbs going limp.
"drop--"
The terminal in Lu Mi's hand was connected, and he asked directly: "Have you finished processing it over there?"
"...Ah, for now." The injured Xiao Lun lay on the cold ground, surrounded by many dead prison guards.
The man lay in a pool of his own blood and the blood of others, breathing softly. "There seems to be quite a commotion on the middle third floor. Tell the people on the lower third floor to evacuate first. Say it's my order."
"Then you might have the wrong person," Lu Mi changed his posture. "I'm on the third floor right now."
“…”
"And the riot has been temporarily suppressed."
“…”
After a long while, the person on the other end seemed to find his voice again. "Are you alone?"
Lu Mi said "hmm" softly, "Is there any problem?"
...That's really fucking problematic!
Xiao Lun didn’t know whether what Lu Mi said was true or not, but he had a hunch that the other party was not lying, but...!
Suppressing the entire middle third floor by himself, this sounds like a ghost story, right?
Fortunately, Xiao Lun himself was no ordinary person. He took a deep breath and tried his best to maintain a relatively calm tone, "Since you are on the third floor, I hope you can go to the chief warden right now."
Xiao Lun quickly explained what happened between him and Scott.
"The warden hasn't responded to the current situation yet. I suspect something might have happened to him." Xiao Lun took a breath. "The prison urgently needs him to take charge of the situation."
"I understand." Lu Mi nodded.
Xiao Lun suddenly asked, "Do you believe me?"
"What?"
"I can probably guess that Scott must be describing me as a traitor now. I did kill a lot of prison guards."
"Ah..." Lu Mifeng said calmly, "I don't know if you are a good person, but I know he is not."
The other end of the terminal seemed to have fallen silent, and Lu Mi said at this moment: "Now it's my turn to ask you, do you believe me?"
“…”
Lu Mi continued to speak to himself, "I'm afraid I'll take the prisoners you hate with me, or even take them away."
This time there was silence on the other end for a long time. After a while, the sound of soft breathing could be heard.
"...I believe it." Xiao Lun breathed lightly, seemed to smile, his eyes slightly red with a kind of desperate emotion.
Perhaps it was because he suddenly realized that at this moment, in the entire Tartarus, this silver-eyed young man whom he had just met had become the only person he could rely on.
"Go ahead and do it," Xiao Lun said.
Let him see what earth-shattering things can happen in this hell prison that has been silent for a hundred years!
The silver-eyed young man simply curled his lips slightly and said softly, "Then tell me the passcode to the top three floors."
