Just like in the flesh and blood corridor in the basement before, Lu Ning could still feel the flesh and blood writhing as he stepped on the flesh and blood pipes.
Moreover, the wriggling force seemed stronger than the previous flesh and blood corridor.
After Lu Ning entered, the others followed closely behind.
The group cautiously ventured deeper, encountering several forks in the road along the way, each one covered in blood and gore.
Because they were unaware of the dangers deep inside the pipe, they did not separate.
After discussing it, they chose the pipeline that leads to the central area of the base city.
They walked for almost half an hour, but still hadn't encountered the flesh-and-blood monster.
This made Eileen, who was standing nearby, frown in confusion: "What's going on? Why haven't there been any monsters? Last time, we walked for a short while before we triggered the defense mechanism of the Flesh Corridor."
Lu Ning glanced around and said calmly, "I don't see any areas with severe mental pollution. This area doesn't seem to have any small rooms like the previous flesh and blood corridor."
Eileen was even more confused: "Then what exactly is this pipe for?"
Nan Yu spoke up: "Could it be that all these pipes are for cultivating that thing they're talking about?"
"Perhaps... but there are too many branches in the pipeline, and the area is so huge, it might be difficult for us to find it."
Lu Ning thought for a moment, then glanced at the crimson sword in his hand: "How about we lure the snake out of its hole?"
Nan Yu understood Lu Ning's meaning. He glanced at Li Fu and the others: "What do you think?"
Li Fu immediately said, "Since you are stronger, you are in charge."
"Then let's give it a try!"
Lu Ning nodded, raising the crimson sword to plunge it into the flesh and blood on the ground.
Just then, as if sensing a dangerous creature, the flesh and blood suddenly surged into a violent uprising.
The next moment, flesh and blood began to proliferate in the previously calm flesh and blood channels.
A massive amount of flesh and blood writhed and surged forth, like a red tide, rolling towards everyone.
At the same time, beneath Lu Ning and the others' feet, veins burst through their flesh and shot towards them.
Several weaker awakened individuals were unable to dodge and were immediately impaled by blood vessels.
They only had time to let out a scream before their blood vessels pierced through the top of their heads, extinguishing their life force instantly.
Upon witnessing this scene, the members of the action team standing nearby had drastically changed their expressions and cried out in grief and indignation.
However, the next moment, these corpses were swallowed up by the surging tide of flesh and blood.
"Walk!"
Li Fu pulled back several members of the action team who wanted to retrieve the body and shouted orders.
Eileen immediately conjured a lightning ball and shot it towards the flesh and blood tide.
A deafening roar erupted as a large chunk of flesh was torn apart and charred.
However, the defensive capabilities of this flesh and blood seemed to be much stronger than those in the previous flesh and blood corridor, and the damage caused by the lightning balls was far less than before.
Nan Yu's expression was solemn. He pressed down with his palm, and the speed of the surging tide of flesh and blood suddenly decreased, suppressed by gravity.
Nan Yu clenched his fist, and in the next moment, gravity seemed to contract from the inside, squeezing and crushing a large amount of flesh.
Even so, the flesh and blood behind them continued to pour in.
This caused Nan Yu's expression to change slightly.
"Lu Ning, is there any way?!"
The crimson sword in Lu Ning's hand pierced deeply into a piece of flesh.
However, the Crimson Sword had only been happily absorbing the flesh for a short while when the piece of flesh detached itself, and the flesh condensed into spikes that shot towards Lu Ning.
Although Lu Ning will not die, there is too much flesh and blood here. If he is completely swallowed up, it will not be easy for him to escape.
He had no choice but to retreat.
Lu Ning glanced around and found that only the path they had come from was covered by the tide of flesh and blood. Although the flesh and blood in the pipes leading deeper into the tunnels had begun to wriggle, they were not fully activated, and there was still another path to take.
Lu Ning calmly said, "We can only go inside."
"Then let's go!"
They rushed deeper into the pipe.
Blood vessels shoot out from the flesh surrounding the tubes, trying to pierce or bind them.
However, having learned from his previous experience, Lu Ning walked at the front, wielding the crimson sword repeatedly, severing blood vessels one by one.
Nan Yu, Eileen, Li Fu, and others also used their abilities to destroy the blood vessels.
The flesh and blood in the pipe ahead grew more and more, leaving only a passage barely wide enough for one person.
Lu Ning remained calm as his crimson sword pierced directly into one of the fleshy walls, causing blood and flesh to gush out.
Blood vessels shot towards Lu Ning, but Eileen charred them with bolts of lightning.
At this moment, the Crimson Sword rapidly absorbs flesh and blood.
Seemingly sensing the absorption of the Crimson Sword, the surging flesh and blood quickly contracted, widening the passage considerably.
"You guys go first," Lu Ning said calmly.
Li Fu and the others immediately rushed out of the passage.
Nan Yu and Eileen worked together to help Lu Ning fend off the constant stream of blood vessels.
After Li Fu and the others had all passed through, Lu Ning swept his crimson sword across, leaving a deep bloody trail, and retreated with Nan Yu and Eileen.
On the other side, the flesh and blood in the pipes were almost swallowing them up, so Lu Ning had to retreat. Otherwise, the Crimson Sword would probably have absorbed a lot of flesh and blood.
Lu Ning and the others were all Awakened Ones, with decent physical strength and speed, which was faster than flesh and blood proliferation.
As they kept running, they constantly changed the path.
In just over half an hour, they had already left the Flesh and Blood Tide far behind.
Only then can everyone stop and rest for a while.
Li Fu and the team leaders checked the casualties, and their faces were all grim.
Each action team had two or three weaker Awakened being devoured by the tide of flesh and blood.
Quite a few people were injured.
The death toll has exceeded twenty!
Such enormous losses in such a short time were simply unbearable for Li Fu and the others.
"Damn it! What the hell are these things?!" Karen's eyes were slightly red, and her body trembled slightly.
Their first squad also suffered heavy casualties.
Besides her, Ke Qing, and another middle-aged man who were unharmed, two others were seriously injured.
The rest of them died.
Nan Yu's expression was also rather unpleasant.
He looked at the surrounding flesh and blood and said slowly, "This tide of flesh and blood is somewhat similar to the previous Crimson Tide Catastrophe. I didn't expect the Crimson Cult to have developed to this extent!"
Upon hearing this, Eileen and the others' expressions changed slightly.
The Crimson Tide destroyed more than a dozen base cities!
Even if the crimson tide is currently only located in the underground pipes, it is still a huge threat to the entire Base City 121!
Nan Yu took a deep breath and said slowly, "Given the current situation, we must notify the General Administration."
He took out his phone, intending to notify them.
However, his expression changed the next moment.
"Damn it, the signal here is blocked! It's probably interference from flesh and blood!"
