End of Chapter 224 (Part 1)
The sizzling sound of corrosion was drowned out by the deafening howls of the mutants.
Advanced Sentinel mutants, moving with the speed of a blur, attacked the people. They were shrouded in black mist, like lingering evil spirits.
Outside the main entrance on the first floor of the shopping mall.
The psychic beings rushed forward, growling and biting, blocking the doorway and preventing the mutants from getting close.
The sentries didn't have many bullets. These monsters were too powerful and numerous, and they were gradually finding it difficult to deal with them.
Of all times.
Behind the four infected individuals, the cloned mutants also began to become restless.
Duan Xi and Tao Haohao had to be distracted and constantly watch out for what was happening behind them.
The brown bear and the lion stood upright, close to the two men's backs. When they saw the cloned mutant lunge with its sharp mandibles, the brown bear slapped it down and pinned it down.
The lion held onto the monster's shoulder tightly, yet dared not bite too hard, allowing the dark matter to seep into its body through contact.
Song Liang's face visibly turned pale.
Since Yun Zhao joined the team, it had been a long time since they had faced such a dangerous situation.
And this is just the beginning.
The same applies to Zhou Tianqi and Li Guo on the other side.
The four were attacked from both sides, and it was unknown how long they could hold out.
Xie Tu left Huo Feng outside to help.
He said coldly, "I'll go in myself and come out soon."
Only Xie Tu and Yun Zhao have been here before. They know the way, so they can go in faster by themselves.
Jiang Mu, wielding two swords, stood at the forefront, blocking the way.
I didn't have time to answer him.
Xie Tu didn't delay any longer, picked up the person, turned around, and strode inside.
Outside, the fighting was fierce, but inside the mall's first floor, all was silent, with huge pipes stretching overhead like a giant dragon.
Yun Zhao nestled quietly in his arms. Her face was pale and she looked extremely weak. She hadn't uttered a single word since they came out.
Xie Tu quickened his pace and, using the work card he had found last time, took the elevator to the third basement level.
Nothing has changed here.
The environment was dimly lit, with huge metal racks neatly arranged, housing servers and complex wiring.
The machine was running, emitting a low, rhythmic hum.
Xie Tu didn't have time to examine it; he tapped the rack with his Tang sword, making a loud noise.
However, no guide appeared at all.
It was nearly 11:40, with 20 minutes left until midnight.
Those guides seemed to be able to maintain their conscious awareness only during the twisted and chaotic nights.
Xie Tu decisively abandoned his probing, put away his Tang sword, and instead reached into his backpack to pull out a few incendiary bombs.
Just as he was about to ignite the incendiary bomb.
Suddenly, a huge LCD screen wall in front of me began to flash with strange snowflake patterns, accompanied by a heart-stopping, ear-piercing noise.
—Thump...thump...thump.
The sound of the ball being bounced echoed in every corner, one bounce after another.
The sound was chilling.
It carried an ominous premonition, stirring up an indescribable fear in people's hearts.
Yun Zhao and Xie Tu remained calm.
She struggled to lift her head and look at the huge LCD screen in the center.
A little boy appears in the frame, holding a bright red ball that is unusually eye-catching, and looking at the two people with a gloomy gaze.
The gatekeeper has shown himself!
Xie Tu stared coldly at it. He carefully put Yun Zhao down, then decisively lit the incendiary bombs one by one and threw them at the rows of cold metal racks.
Xie Tu's methods were cunning; each incendiary bomb was precisely wedged between the two machines.
The smoke spread instantly.
Instead of getting angry, the little boy laughed, a sinister smile spreading across his face, tinged with innocent cruelty. "You...you're all dead..."
Xie Tu ignored it and instead took out a clean towel from his bag and handed it to the person in his arms, saying, "Cover your mouth and nose if you feel choked."
His bag used to contain only ammunition and supplies needed for missions, but now it's stuffed with strawberry milk, various snacks, and daily necessities.
Yun Zhao took the towel and gently covered his mouth and nose. His gaze pierced through the smoke barrier and quietly focused on the huge LCD screen in front of him.
The little boy's figure appeared even more eerie and unpredictable against the backdrop of firelight and smoke.
Incendiary bombs are still being dropped.
With sparks flying, flames instantly ignited.
The whole world seemed to be stirred up by an invisible hand, and began to twist and deform violently.
With the database destroyed, the virtual dimension built by code and algorithms, where darkness and light, numbers and reality intertwine and collide, emits a series of low rumbling sounds.
The two dimensions are merging.
The logic was broken, and the once orderly digital world became chaotic.
Meanwhile, riots broke out throughout the contaminated area!
Countless mutants crawled out of computer screens, television screens, and wiring, howling as they surged toward the central area where there were living people.
"whee……"
On the little boy's pale, gloomy face, the smile widened and widened. He stretched one hand out from the screen, as if toying with a group of ants, "You've been fooled, die... die!"
Even if they merge, so what?
This is the territory it created; no one can catch it within its territory!
*
Outside the door on the first floor.
The sounds of rioting swept in like a raging tsunami, deafeningly loud.
Tens of thousands of mutants, like a demonic army unleashed, surged forth from every corner.
In the shadows of the corner, darkness surged like a tide, and mutants slowly emerged like ghosts.
Their bodies blended into the darkness, with only their blood-red eyes flickering in the shadows like will-o'-the-wisps from hell.
Not far from the sentries.
A powerful force ripped off a manhole cover on the street, spurting out a torrent of black, viscous liquid.
The mutants crawled out like a tide along the slime, their bodies emitting a putrid stench, and quickly gathered on the ground, forming a chilling black ocean.
Everyone who witnessed this scene had their pupils contract sharply.
so much……
Jiang Mu's eyes instantly hardened, like a drawn blade. "Maintain formation, take out the explosives, and hold this place first!"
His words were like a tranquilizer.
The sentries quickly set up a defensive line and took out all the supplies from their backpacks to prepare for the upcoming battle.
A sense of tension spread through the crowd.
At the forefront of the defensive line, the two S-class spiritual entities, Fire Phoenix and White Beast, stood like two unshakable guardian deities, radiating dazzling light and blocking the overwhelming black torrent.
The fire phoenix, like a burning flame, spread its wings, instantly creating a strong wind and flames that spread in all directions, forming a sea of fire and storm.
The flames instantly spread among the mutants, and those touched by the flames let out painful howls, their bodies twisting and deforming in the flames, as if they were demons thrown into an alchemical furnace.
The enormous body of the White Jade Beast was like a moving mountain; with a sweep of its tail, the entire ground trembled.
Its body was surrounded by a layer of ice-blue light.
The light grew brighter and brighter, becoming dazzling.
Wherever it went, the air froze, forming patches of white mist.
The explosion was deafening.
The B-level Sentinels were all helping, desperately throwing explosives at the mutants.
With so many monsters, the spiritual beings responsible for intercepting them at the front are being eroded at an accelerating rate, which has already affected the sentinels.
The crowd's breathing gradually became rapid.
They weren't sure if they would make it out alive...
