Mou Xuan frowned as he looked at the people who were surrounded and the energy core that seemed to have a self-destruct device.
Sweat slid down his angular face, reflecting a metallic luster in the dim light.
A forced breakout would most likely trigger the self-destruct device, and all the efforts of the alliance over the years and the sacrifices of countless people would be wasted.
He felt the burden on his shoulders was so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
Chen Yao looked at him worriedly, her slender hands tightly holding his, the coolness of her fingertips making his confused thoughts a little clearer.
He knew that what she said was worth more than a thousand words.
"Expert Zheng, Tactician Lu, come here!" Mou Xuan's low voice echoed in the noisy underground space.
Energy expert Zheng, a gray-haired but vigorous old man, pushed the heavy glasses on his nose and walked quickly to Mou Xuan.
"Captain Mou, what do you want?"
The Lu Alliance tactician, with a burly figure and eyes as sharp as a hawk, followed closely behind.
"Captain, the situation is urgent and a decision must be made as soon as possible!"
Mou Xuan briefly told the two of them about the current predicament and his thoughts.
"Expert Zheng, is it possible that the special magnetic field in the ruins could interfere with the signal of the self-destruct device?"
Expert Zheng pondered for a moment and gestured rapidly in the air with his fingers, as if he was performing some complex calculations.
"It's theoretically feasible, but we need to find a sufficiently strong magnetic field source, and it needs precise control, otherwise..." He paused, his face becoming serious, "Otherwise, it may backfire and directly detonate the device!"
"Tactician Lu, we need time and opportunity!" Mou Xuan turned to Tactician Lu, "We need to distract the enemy!"
Tactician Lu answered without hesitation: "Leave it to me! Captain Cui is already prepared and can launch a feint attack at any time!"
Cui is a superpowered member of the Alliance and one of the most powerful superpowered members of the Alliance, with the ability to manipulate metal.
He could no longer contain his desire to prove his worth in battle.
Mou Xuan made a prompt decision: "Okay! Captain Cui, make a feint attack from the front to attract firepower! We will take advantage of the chaos to find the source of the magnetic field! Action!"
The battle has begun.
Captain Cui roared, and the metal in his hands seemed to come alive, transforming into sharp blades and sturdy shields, wreaking havoc among the enemy.
The enemy's formation was in chaos, wailing and explosions were heard one after another, and the underground space seemed to have turned into a purgatory on earth.
Mou Xuan led expert Zheng and several elite team members, and took advantage of the chaos to quickly advance towards the area where the source of the magnetic field might exist.
They dodged enemy attacks along the way, with slippery rocks and cold metal wreckage under their feet and flickering lights and flying sparks above their heads.
The air was filled with strong smell of gunpowder and blood, which was suffocating.
Time passes by minute by minute, and every second seems as long as a century.
Mou Xuan's heart was beating violently
"Captain, look!" A team member pointed forward, his voice trembling.
In front of them, a huge metal device stood quietly, emitting an eerie light.
The air around the device seemed to be distorted, and a powerful energy wave emanated from it.
"It's this! It must be this!" Expert Zheng was so excited that his whole body was shaking, and his eyes were shining with fanaticism. "This is the special magnetic field source we are looking for!"
But at the same time, an even stronger sense of uneasiness surged into Mou Xuan's heart.
The energy fluctuations around the device were stronger and more unstable than he had expected.
He had a hunch that this device was more than just a source of magnetic field...it was hiding bigger secrets and harbouring greater dangers.
How should they approach it? How to use it?
In the dim light, Mou Xuan's eyes sparkled with determination.
He knew that they had no way back and could only move forward, even if there was an abyss ahead...
Mou Xuan's heart was beating violently, beat by beat, as deafening as the sound of a drum.
The joy of successfully suppressing the self-destruct device receded like the tide, and was replaced by deeper anxiety.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, like a taut string that could break at any time.
He took a deep breath, and the cold air filled his lungs, but it failed to cool his burning brain.
Energy expert Zheng was sweating profusely and his face was pale. It was obvious that the operation just now had consumed a lot of his energy.
The other team members also had serious expressions, gripping their weapons tightly and looking around vigilantly.
"Damn it!" Mou Xuan cursed in a low voice, but the leaders of other forces reacted faster than he expected.
He knew that the other party must be closely monitoring their every move, and no slightest movement would escape their eyes.
Suppressing the self-destruct device is only the first step; the real challenge has just begun.
He looked around quickly, trying to find a way out.
The towering buildings stood in the night like steel behemoths, casting large shadows and shrouding everything around them in darkness.
In the distance, several figures could be vaguely seen moving quickly. They were agile and quick in their movements, and were obviously well-trained psychics.
Mou Xuan's brain was working rapidly, analyzing the current situation.
The number of enemies is unknown, their strength is unknown, and rash actions will only put them in a more dangerous situation.
He had to find a breakthrough, a chance for them to evacuate safely.
As time passed, the tension in the air became more and more intense.
