Not long after Luo Yuan and the others left, a loud noise came from the prison. It sounded like an explosion. Smoke and dust flew everywhere. Through the hazy smoke, a man surrounded by electricity slowly appeared in front of them.
His appearance was shocking, but what was even more unbelievable was that he was floating in the air.
Su Yu's face turned pale. By the time he received the news and rushed over, it was already too late. Two corpses were lying on the ground, along with countless soldiers who were dead or alive.
"Useless!" Su Yu said coldly. He did not really care about these two subordinates. Ever since he decided to build his own faction and walk the path of hegemony, he felt that his heart was already hard enough. In the post-apocalyptic world, only by being cold and ruthless could one survive and live a better life.
"But no matter what, they are still my dogs. Although level five abilities are strong, they are nothing in my eyes. Luo Yuan, you can't escape."
… …
Because the fallout shelter was deep underground, it wouldn't be drained by heavy rain. Therefore, there were no manhole covers, and there were only two ways to reach the underground sewer. One was a dedicated channel for maintenance and cleaning, and the other was a small pipe that went through the toilet bowl and led directly to the bottom.
Naturally, the second route was ruled out. Not to mention the filth, the passage itself was very narrow, so it was impossible for a human body to pass through. Unless they used a destructive method, it would be easy to be discovered, and the destruction of the passage would cause the creatures in the sewers to spread, which would be a security risk.
All of them were either on active duty or on reserve duty. Even Wen Yujie had to participate in military training for a week every month, so they were very capable. Once they made a decision, they would not hesitate.
Although they had met many people along the way, Luo Yuan was slightly relieved. After all, Luo Yuan did not want to kill anyone unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, what made Luo Yuan frown was that the sewers maintenance room was located less than 100 meters away from the military camp. As a high-risk zone, the sewers had always been a key area. Since it was located near the military camp, it could be handled in time if there was a problem.
The entrance of the military camp was heavily guarded. There was a sentry every five steps and a few hidden sentries nearby. There were no loopholes in the defense. It was impossible to sneak in right under their noses.
"I didn't expect the security here to be so tight. There were only four people before, but they should know me. I'll go and communicate with them!" Xu Zhiqiang suddenly said.
"No, you're still a prisoner who escaped from prison and the leader of the rebellion. Ordinary people might not know, but they definitely know that you'll die if you go there," Luo Yuan said and sighed. "Let me do it!"
Now that things had come to this, this was the only thing he could do. He hoped that they would allow him to get close so that he could use his aura to suppress them. Otherwise, he could only retreat.
He had never dared to underestimate the power of modern weapons. Not to mention those terrifying weapons of mass destruction, even the new rifles made him extremely fearful.
With a physique of 15, he could use his body to block bullets from handguns, but he definitely couldn't block armor-piercing bullets that traveled at nearly twice the speed of sound. The reason why he was able to defeat a battalion of soldiers so easily earlier was entirely due to his geographical advantage and his perception. Otherwise, if they had fired at him before he even got close, he would have no choice but to retreat helplessly and run for his life.
With his current strength, as a sneaky assassin, he could naturally kill anyone who stood in his way. However, if he were to fight against an organized army, he would definitely die. This was also the reason why Luo Yuan chose to temporarily retreat after he was released from prison.
"It's too dangerous. Let me do it," Wen Yujie suddenly said.
"You …" Luo Yuan wanted to reject her, but he suddenly remembered that she was an evolved human. His words changed, "Are you confident?"
"My ability is light manipulation. Although it's not strong, it can deceive their eyes. If they don't stare at me, I'm 70% confident," Wen Yujie said proudly. "But I need some time to prepare."
"That's enough!" Xiao Baihong said immediately. "Leave the door lock to me."
He was an evolved human with metal ability. For someone who could control the deformation of metal, picking locks was a piece of cake. He only needed to experiment a few times to master the skill easily.
Suddenly, a large number of soldiers rushed out of the main gate of the military camp. Luo Yuan quietly counted. Soon, there were more than 1,000 of them. He faintly felt that something was wrong, so he quickly asked.
Luo Yuan nodded. "How long do we have?"
"We'll be done soon, but we better stick together!"
Luo Yuan turned his head and found that Wen Yujie's forehead was already full of sweat. Without needing Luo Yuan's signal, everyone quickly gathered around Wen Yujie.
"We can go now," Wen Yujie said with a frown.
Their surroundings did not seem to have changed at all. Everyone was anxious, but after a few steps, there was a sudden change. The scene in front of them seemed to be zooming in rapidly.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong with my eyes?" Xiao Baihong asked in surprise.
"This should be the refraction of light. The object we see is zooming in, so the enemy should see us further away. Although we're moving forward now, in fact, to them, we should still be in the same place," Luo Yuan said after estimating the distance and the speed of their movement.
Although Wen Yujie was trying her best to control herself and could not speak, her eyes still lit up.
The effect of her refraction was amazing. Luo Yuan noticed that although a few soldiers looked in their direction, they did not see them at all. It was as if they did not exist.
The reason why human eyes could see was because of the reflection of light. Being able to control light meant that one could control the other party's vision. What one could see was only what the other party wanted to see. If such an ability could be developed systematically, although it might not be able to kill directly, it could definitely make it difficult for people to distinguish between reality and illusion.
As they got closer to the sewer maintenance room, Luo Yuan noticed that Wen Yujie was sweating more and more, and her face was getting paler. Obviously, such a wide range of light control was beyond her ability.
When she was close to ten meters away, her body began to sway and she was soaked in sweat. Although she looked weak, she had an extraordinary tenacity in her heart. When everyone was worried about her, she gritted her teeth and persevered until they reached the door.
It was not until Xiao Baihong opened the door quickly and closed it quietly that Wen Yujie's body became weak. She leaned on Luo Yuan and frowned.
The maintenance room was spacious. At a glance, it was at least a few hundred square meters. There were no furnishings around, and it was empty. Obviously, it was convenient for a large group of people to enter. There was only a staircase in the corner that led underground.
At the bottom of the five or six meters, there was a steel door. Xiao Baihong opened the power distribution box nearby and pressed the open button. With the sound of a hydraulic jet, the steel door slowly opened.
