The protector of Teng Shuiyuan swung the fire axe and chopped at the nearest pillar, but the axe blade was covered with blood-red ice crystals the moment it made contact.
Lao Hu suddenly tore open the detector casing and pressed the exposed circuit board onto the ground covered with mycelium: "The magnetic field resonance point has shifted!
These damn things are..."
The suspended raindrops in the rainstorm suddenly exploded collectively.
Mou Xuan grabbed Chen Yao's wrist guard and threw her towards a concrete pier three meters away, but he was knocked to the ground by the scarlet ripples that suddenly materialized.
In the cracks of the tactical eyepiece, he saw the golden blood vessels forming a countdown pattern under the skin.
"Give me twenty seconds." Chen Yao suddenly tore open the collar of his combat uniform and placed the ice blade against his collarbone, drawing a bloody line.
When the light blue blood seeped into the golden mist remaining in the Sand of Time, the ice crystal matrix of the entire contaminated area suddenly emitted a roar like the flapping wings of a swarm of bees.
Mou Xuan laughed while coughing up blood foam.
He should have thought that this woman would hide the superpower gene in her bone marrow - the nano-anticoagulant that she had voluntarily requested to be injected three days ago was now refracting a prism-like halo in the ice-blue blood beads.
"Adjust the resonance frequency to 14 Hz!" Lao Hu suddenly smashed the smoking detector at the mycelium network. The flying parts burned six charred holes on the surface of the scarlet column.
The protector of Tengshuiyuan took the opportunity to insert the fire axe into the crack, and the black axe handle suddenly lit up with ice crystal patterns.
Mou Xuan's sand of time condensed into a scalpel in his palm.
He pierced his left forearm without hesitation, and the golden thread followed the blood vessel and drilled into the ice crystal network constructed by Chen Yao.
When the two mutant genes collided above the contaminated area, producing a cobalt blue arc of electricity, the six scarlet columns suddenly froze in place like a mechanical heart with the pause button pressed.
"Thirty meters below the drainage ditch in the northwest corner." Chen Yao's ice boots crushed the fading mycelium. "The catalyst's mother is imitating the growth pattern of my ice crystals, but their energy nodes..."
"There is a 0.3 second delay every fifteen degrees." Mou Xuan's bloodstained fingers drew a three-dimensional coordinate in the air, "Old Hu, adjust the electromagnetic pulse device you modified last month to the reverse phase."
The inspector trembled as he pulled out a device the size of a Coke can from his tactical bag. The metal casing was covered with a strawberry sticker drawn by his daughter.
When Chen Yao's ice blade coated the device with frost patterns, spider-web-like biological circuit diagrams suddenly emerged on the surface of those stagnant scarlet columns.
The rainstorm became thick at this moment.
The golden blood vessels on the back of Mou Xuan's neck had spread to behind his ears. He grasped the gear key made of the sand of time and inserted it into the void. The space of the entire contaminated area suddenly twisted like folded tinfoil.
Chen Yao saw the moonlight from three days ago overlapping with the rain curtain at this moment, and six black shadows that released catalysts were decomposing into pixel particles beside the drainage ditch.
"Now!" Chen Yao's ice blade suddenly pierced her left shoulder, and the gushing light blue blood condensed into a drill-shaped ice cone under the effect of the sand of time.
When the electromagnetic pulser activated by Lao Hu emitted a scream like a baby crying, the ice cone penetrated straight into the ground along the gap in the scarlet column's biological circuit.
A rumble like thunder came from deep in the earth's crust.
The protector of Tengshuiyuan suddenly pointed at the melting protective net and shouted: "The underground pipe network is reorganizing its structure!
Those catalyst precursors are in..."
The warning sound stopped abruptly.
All the scarlet columns exploded into blood mist at the same time, but were frozen into suspended red icicles by Chen Yao's ice crystal matrix at the moment they were about to pollute the air.
Mou Xuan staggered and held onto the container, the undried golden blood on his tactical gloves was corroding the metal surface.
When Lao Hu's detector turned on the green light again, Chen Yao discovered that at the tear in the back of Mou Xuan's combat uniform, new golden blood vessels were weaving some kind of strange totem similar to clock gears.
Just as she was about to reach out and touch it, the ground in the entire contaminated area suddenly collapsed three inches without any warning.
The sands of time that had not yet dissipated suddenly condensed into a warning symbol in the air.
Mou Xuan thrust the dagger into the shaking ground with his backhand. The vibration frequency coming from the blade made everyone's face change suddenly - that was not the waveform that an earthquake should have.
"They are coming." Chen Yao's ice blade reflected the faint blue fluorescence wandering deep in the cracks in the ground. The energy value automatically analyzed by the tactical eyepiece jumped wildly and broke through the threshold.
She suddenly realized that those catalyst matrixes were just baits, and the real existence lurking deep in the earth's crust had just opened its eyes that had not blinked for billions of years.
Mou Xuan pressed his golden fingers on his wildly beating temple, and the sand of time condensed into a constantly collapsing hourglass under his feet.
When the first shock wave from the center of the earth tore through the concrete, the golden veins on his combat uniform suddenly emitted a fiery red light like lava - like some kind of resonance across time and space, or like a cold gaze from a higher dimension.
