I guessed it right. This is Gao Ye's target! "
Time was tight. While Meng Chao ran to the workbench, he called Ye Xiaoxing.
But the communication interference was really bad, and deafening explosions came from Ye Xiaoxing's side. Meng Chao shouted at the communicator on his wrist for a long time, but he did not know whether Ye Xiaoxing could hear him.
He could only send the highest level alert to Ye Xiaoxing, which meant that he had discovered the target. Then, he jumped into the working area by the river with Lu Siya.
Because of the rapid flow of the river, the tunnel was dug very deep, and the drop from the ground was at least dozens of meters.
Looking into the tunnel, it was pitch black. Nothing could be seen clearly, only the dim red light flashing.
The engineer who managed to escape told Meng Chao that due to the rat horde's attack, all the cables inside had been cut. Aside from the emergency lighting system that relied on crystals to provide energy, the normal lighting and ventilation systems were all paralyzed.
At this moment, the workers and specialists who were controlling the equipment and biochemical beasts in the depths of the tunnel to minimize their losses discovered that the water leakage was getting worse and worse. They could only abandon everything and run out with their hands over their heads.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya poured spirit energy into their eyes, and a few shining rings of light surrounded their pupils. By stimulating the cells in their optic vertebrae, they activated eagle-like vision in the dark.
"Run! This place could collapse at any time, and the river will rush in!"
Meng Chao and Lu Siya grabbed the workers who ran out and handed them to the Red Dragon Army soldiers who followed closely behind them. Then, they safely sent them to the surface.
He also asked the Red Dragon Army to set up crystal bombs at the junction between the underwater tunnel and the underground tunnel.
In the event that the tunnel under the river really collapsed, they could only completely blow up the construction site to prevent the surging river water from pouring into the entire tunnel or even spreading to the other subway lines connected to it through the tunnel that had already been completed on Subway Line 20.
However, this kind of blasting required precise calculations and the excavation of the explosion site, which required at least ten to fifteen minutes of preparation.
Before that, Meng Chao and Lu Siya could only fend off Gao Ye's destruction.
The deeper they went into the tunnel, the heavier and more humid the air became.
Ticking and cracking noises were echoing everywhere, as if countless interconnected cracks had appeared on the walls of the tunnel.
Unknowingly, the water had submerged the dry road and reached their ankles.
A red light flickered in front of him, and a few workers stumbled out of the darkness.
"Let's go!"
Meng Chao quickly grabbed the workers.
"Be careful!"
As a Spirit Sensor, Lu Siya cried out.
At the same time, he activated his ability. Spirit runes shone around his eyes, as if he had applied a layer of dazzling eyeshadow.
A few spikes formed by rocks shot out from under Meng Chao's feet and went for the workers.
These workers, however, were like puppets with broken joints. They assumed incomparably strange postures and narrowly dodged the attacks of the spikes.
His face was green, swollen, and covered in red tattoos.
"Zombies!"
Meng Chao shuddered and instantly came to a realization. Wasn't the depths of the underwater tunnel the best spot for the rat horde to erupt?
Although it was winter on the surface, the underground tunnel was humid and hot. Many workers did not fully abide by the operating rules and did not wear protective suits.
As long as their exposed skin was scratched or bitten by rats, they would be doomed to a miserable fate.
Meng Chao sighed. His legs instantly turned into two whirlwinds that sent the zombified workers flying like cannonballs.
His strength was great. The workers who were sent flying like kites with snapped strings crashed against the walls of the tunnel and were reduced to a bloody mess. Their tendons were broken, and their bones were broken.
Logically speaking, with their spines shattered, it was impossible for them to get up.
But as strange sounds of bones popping out and flesh squirming rose, they stood up in a crooked manner, as if they were being led by a demon.
Some of the workers could not stand up, so they decided to lie on all fours like human-shaped spiders. Their heads turned 180 degrees, and their bloodshot eyes stared at Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
Red threads gushed out of many of their wounds, and like hungry tentacles, they reached out to Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
"Blood Flowers!"
Meng Chao gritted his teeth.
The abnormal beasts had indeed mastered the skill to fuse the zombie virus, rabies virus, and fungal-like Blood Flowers together.
They turned humans into existences even more terrifying than monsters.
Lu Siya sighed and snapped her fingers. The sturdy concrete under the zombies' feet turned into loose quicksand, causing their limbs to sink into it.
Then, she changed the atomic energy layer and molecular structure of the quicksand to turn it back into sturdy concrete and "pinned" the zombies to the ground.
The zombies tore at their limbs with all their might. Rage appeared on their deformed and swollen faces. They did not hesitate to break their joints and flesh to "pull" their severed limbs out.
Meng Chao could not continue watching this. He drew his gun and fired repeatedly, ending the lives of the innocent victims.
Even though the zombies had their heads shot off, they were still squirming madly due to the stimulation from the virus and the Blood Flowers.
At the very least, their souls could rest in peace. They no longer had to suffer any pain.
After being blocked by the zombies for a while, cracking sounds suddenly rose from the depths of the tunnel.
The dripping sounds of water were replaced by an even more terrifying sound that sounded like ten thousand horses galloping.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya could not help but look up at the ceiling of the tunnel.
He discovered that there were even some tiny cracks in this place.
They had already walked more than three hundred meters from the working surface by the river. In other words, they were at the bottom of Red Dragon River. Above them was the raging river and countless aquatic monsters.
The sounds of the horses galloping became louder. It was as if an army formed by the raging river was charging at them from the depths.
Lu Siya gritted her teeth and knelt down on one knee. She pressed her palms against the ground.
Countless spirit tattoos appeared at the center of her brows, the corners of her eyes, her ears, her shoulders, her arms, and her palms. They gushed out of her palms, and they looked like sparkling streams that spread into the depths of the tunnel.
Soon, the walls in the depths of the tunnel were surrounded by spirit tattoos.
Due to the interference from spirit energy, the originally torn cracks quickly closed up. Thick stone pillars shot out of the ground. They overlapped with each other and formed breakwaters. The breakwaters gradually closed up, and they were about to form indestructible stone walls!
A year ago, she had been baptized by the Red Radiance Jade tsunami and the Blue Origin Crystal mine under Raging Waves with Meng Chao.
Lu Siya also had her own fortuitous encounter.
Besides, she had been fighting in the abnormal beast research department for a year. Under the burning flames of ambition, she trained and fought madly day and night, and her fighting strength reached an explosive breakthrough.
She was no longer a mine explorer who needed powerful fighters to protect her.
She was a true Heaven Realm superhuman. She was the daughter of the earth who could freely control sand, soil, and stones to fight!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening sound of water crashing against the ground came from the depths of the tunnel.
Something had completely collapsed the end of the tunnel, causing the raging Red Dragon River water to surge in like a raging aquatic dragon.
Originally, the river water should have instantly flooded the entire tunnel and destroyed everything in it.
But after the breakwaters Lu Siya created weakened the water, the force of impact was reduced by a large margin.
In the end, when the water reached their waists, Lu Siya finally closed up the damaged part of the tunnel and blocked it.
This task used up most of her spirit energy and energy.
Her face was stark pale, and her breathing quickened. The spirit flames around her flickered.
At that moment, a black shadow squirmed madly in the water that reached her waist.
"Hua la hua la!"
A monster that looked like an electric eel but was as thick as a python and had purple tattoos all over its body suddenly shot out of the puddle. It opened its mouth, and electricity surrounded its sharp fangs. It pounced on Lu Siya's face.
It was an aquatic monster that had surged into the tunnel through the river!
Meng Chao reacted quickly. He raised his saber and cut off the large electric eel's head.
Nearly transparent blood gushed out of the decapitated creature's neck. It fell back into the water powerlessly and started twitching madly.
The electricity illuminated the murky water so that it looked a crystalline blue. It also illuminated the countless aquatic monsters hiding in the water.
Lu Siya had sealed the crack on the wall of the tunnel in time.
Most of the creatures that crawled into the tunnel through the river were small aquatic monsters, slender water snakes, or electric eel-type monsters.
But that did not mean that they were not dangerous.
Many of the aquatic monsters were only the length of Meng Chao's arm.
But half of their bodies were their heads, and they had a unique jaw structure. When they opened their mouths, they could easily bite down on a human's head. Their astonishing biting strength allowed them to bite through steel plates as if they were biscuits.
They were like the upgraded version of the piranhas on Earth.
Even many of the aquatic monsters that were dozens of times larger than them ended up as prey for the piranhas when they tasted blood from the tiny wounds on their bodies.
At that moment, when they tasted the blood of the large electric eel, thousands of piranhas swam madly toward Meng Chao and Lu Siya. When they were still more than ten meters away, they eagerly jumped up from the water, causing it to look as if the water was boiling.
"You're asking for death!"
From the moment he discovered that the innocent workers had been infected by the virus and turned into new zombies, Meng Chao was truly angry.
His chain sabers were surrounded by flames that even the raging river could not extinguish, and dazzling electricity that could illuminate the night as if it was day. Then, as his spirit energy surged even more violently than the river, they split into dozens of illusions.
No, they were not illusions!
Meng Chao had used the advantage of the Ultimate Style not needing to accumulate power or cool down, so he could fight for a long time. In an instant, he delivered dozens of fatal attacks and accurately cut apart dozens of piranhas that jumped out of the water.
The piranhas lurking in the water were pushed away layer by layer by the spiritual energy that shot out from his thirty-six thousand pores, forcing the piranhas out of the water and cutting them in half in the same way.
