"It's coming?! What's coming?!" Mu Xuan grabbed the communicator and roared, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
This energy fluctuation is already troublesome enough, and now there’s another “it”?
Is this end of the world going to kill people?
He wiped the dust off his face fiercely, which mixed with sweat and looked like a layer of mud.
Chen Yao's voice was intermittent, with obvious fear: "I... I can't see clearly... It's very big... It's scary..."
"Yaoyao! Calm down! Tell me your location!" Mou Xuan forced himself to calm down. Now was not the time to panic. He had to figure out the situation as soon as possible.
At this moment, the earth shook violently again, stronger than any previous time.
The ground cracked into hideous cracks, like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth, ready to devour everything.
"Brother Xuan, I... I'm..." Before Chen Yao could finish her words, a harsh noise came from the communicator, and then there was no sound at all.
"Yaoyao!" Mou Xuan's heart sank suddenly, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged into his heart.
He gritted his teeth, gripped the Tang sword tightly, and looked firmly in the direction of the energy fluctuations, "I will definitely find you!"
"Yes!" The two answered in unison. Although their faces were pale, their eyes were full of determination.
They know that in this apocalypse, only unity can help them survive.
Yu expedition members and Lu Alliance guards endured their physical discomfort and began to track the traces of Zou destroyers.
They were like two hounds, sniffing the scent of prey and moving through the ruins.
After some investigation, they finally found some clues.
The Zou saboteurs appear to be hiding in an abandoned factory.
The factory is located on the edge of the city and is surrounded by deserted water, making it a perfect hiding place.
"Brother Xuan, we found the hiding place of Zou the destroyer! In an abandoned factory!" There was a hint of excitement in the voice of expedition member Yu.
"Okay! Send me the location immediately and I'll take people there right away!" Mou Xuan's tone also became excited. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.
Soon, Mou Xuan brought Qin energy research experts and several elite alliance members to the abandoned factory.
The factory gate was closed and surrounded by traps and guards. It seemed that Zou the saboteur was well prepared.
Mou Xuan carefully observed the surrounding environment with a frown on his face.
He had to devise a perfect plan to sneak into the factory without alerting the enemy.
"Expert Qin, do you have any suggestions?" Mu Xuan looked at Qin, an energy research expert. He knew that this knowledgeable expert would definitely be able to provide some useful suggestions.
Expert Qin pushed his glasses up, thought for a moment and said, "This factory's defense system is very complete. We can't force our way in. We can use the factory's ventilation ducts to sneak in."
"Okay! Let's do it!" Mou Xuan decisively accepted expert Qin's suggestion.
Under Mou Xuan's command, the team members carefully avoided traps, climbed to the roof of the factory using ropes, and then sneaked into the factory through the ventilation ducts.
The interior of the factory was pitch black, and the air was filled with a pungent chemical smell.
The team members held their breath and groped their way forward.
Finally, they found Zou the Destroyer.
He was hiding in a room, operating a complex instrument.
"Zou Destroyer! You have been surrounded! Just surrender!" Mou Xuan's voice echoed in the empty room.
Zou the Destroyer turned around abruptly, a look of horror on his face.
He didn't expect that Mou Xuan could find this place.
"How...how did you find me?" Zou Destroyer's voice trembled.
"Don't worry about this! Now, you must tell me what you are doing?" Mou Xuan approached the destroyer step by step.
"I... I didn't do anything! I'm just an ordinary scientific researcher!" Zou the Destroyer tried to quibble.
"An ordinary scientific researcher? Then why did you destroy the Alliance's energy research equipment?" Mou Xuan's eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing Zou Destroyer's heart.
Zou the Destroyer's face turned pale and he began to waver.
He knew that he had no way to escape.
Mou Xuan cleverly took advantage of Zou the Destroyer's weakness and put psychological pressure on him.
He told Zou the Destroyer that if he cooperated, the Alliance could give him a chance to reform.
Zou the Destroyer began to struggle internally.
He knew that if he continued to resist, he would only put himself in more danger.
"I...I said..." Zou Destroyer finally spoke.
"Speak! Tell me everything you know!" Mou Xuan's voice was full of anticipation.
Zou the Destroyer took a deep breath and was about to speak, when suddenly...
"Wait!" A cold voice came from the darkness.
Just when Zou the Destroyer’s face, filled with fear, was about to spit out the key information—
With a "whoosh", a black shadow flashed by like a ghost!
The Lu Alliance guards were so close that they only felt a flash before their eyes, and before they could even pull the trigger, the Zou destroyer was grabbed by an invisible big hand and disappeared right under Mou Xuan's nose!
"What the hell?!" Yu, a member of the expedition team, cursed. "Is this teleportation? Or is this Harry Potter's magic?!"
Mou Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He stared at the place where Zou the Destroyer disappeared. There was a lingering trace of strange energy fluctuations in the air, which was very similar to... very similar to the feeling when his time ability was activated, but completely different, more gloomy and dark.
"Chase!" Mou Xuan roared, not caring about anything else, and rushed out with a Tang sword in hand.
Unfortunately, the speed of the black shadow was too fast, so fast that it seemed not to belong to this world.
No matter how hard Mou Xuan tried to chase, he could only watch as the energy fluctuation completely dissipated into the air, without even a trace left.
Back in the room, the air was filled with the smell of despair.
The rest of the expedition members sat down on the ground, gasping for breath like a fish out of water; the Lu Alliance guards gripped their guns tightly, their knuckles turning white from the force.
"Brother Xuan, this...how can we investigate this? The other party is obviously cheating!" The rest of the expedition team members were in tears.
Mou Xuan didn't say anything, but just stood there silently, his face looking terribly gloomy.
He knew that this incident was by no means simple and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.
At this moment, Qin, the energy research expert who had been silent all this time, suddenly pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a strange light flashed behind the lenses: "No, we still have a chance."
