From the perspective of the super-tiny mechanical spiders, the inside of the crystal bombs was like colorful, bizarre new worlds.
All kinds of crystal wires that were as thin as hair were glittering in gloomy brilliance, constituting the veins and bridges of the new world. The crystal chips that were as thin as cicada's wings were connected in the most unbelievable way, constituting complicated mazes. The rune arrays molded the spiritual energy into different glamorous forms, blossoming deep inside the mazes like translucent flowers of energy.
The new worlds that seemed to be alive were so sensitive and vulnerable. Even though they had been slightly frozen by the 'Jade Dragon Marrow', they were still like towers of sand that were suspended by spider threads. After a gentle touch, the whole world would collapse abruptly.
Right now, it was Li Yao's turn to bring out all his skills!
Taking a deep breath inside the cocoon-shaped cabin, the pores all over his body slightly expanded. Countless tiny bubbles popped up inside the nerve buffer liquids, especially those around his head. The bubbles formed into foam and flowed out of the cocoon-shaped cabin.
Li Yao's telepathic thoughts were activated to the maximum. Like an overwhelming river of mental energy, they flowed to the surroundings of the anonymous hospital.
All the super-tiny mechanical spiders jumped agilely at the same time, dancing crazily on the tip of the saber like ghosts carved out of crystals.
The mechanical spiders separated the sensor chips and the detonation chips of the crystal bombs layer by layer in surgical, absolutely precise movements. There could not be an error of even 0.01 thread in their every movement. While they were peeling, they had to spray the 'Jade Dragon Marrow' to freeze the deeper parts of the crystal bombs.
While the Jade Dragon Marrow froze the senses of the chips, it would also interfere with the telepathic thoughts of remote control. Only a specialist of crystal bombs in the Divinity Transformation Stage such as Li Yao could operate in such a harsh environment at ease.
Dismantling dozens of crystal bombs at the same time was highly exhausting for the soul. Even Li Yao's forehead was soaked in cold sweat.
His hands were clearly not holding anything, but veins were protruding on the back of his hands. His fingers were shivering, and his joints were cracking.
"I see you …"
Li Yao mumbled to himself. Dozens of faintly red chips vaguely popped up in his head, as if he had seen the most secret stamen when the petals were lifted.
It was the trigger chip at the core of the crystal bomb.
As long as the dozens of core trigger chips were frozen and removed instantly, the functioning of the self-destruction device would be stopped.
However …
Li Yao's eyes suddenly spun quickly. He had a faint premonition of danger. He always felt that things were not so simple.
"The guy who planted the serial crystal bombs must've been an expert among experts. The polishing of the shells of the crystal bombs, the establishment of the real and fake crystal wires, and the structure of the control chips are all impeccable. Few people can break through such a thorough defense line.
"However, his train of thought seems to be too straightforward. There isn't even a single trap? It didn't seem like the style of such an expert.
"There must be another mechanism!"
Li Yao stopped at the last moment and pondered carefully. Then, he released the super-tiny mechanical spiders for exploration.
"If it were me, how would I have set up such a set of self-destruction devices of paramount importance?"
Li Yao thought of something and retrieved the topographic map and the structural design near the anonymous hospital again. He considered the problem from the perspective of the designer of the self-destruction device.
The underground city of the Imperium had been overcrowded in the first place. It was packed with dense, see-through buildings that looked like beehives and ant nests.
Since it was a secret research institute, there was not much room for teleportation.
Therefore, the space to bury the self-destruction devices was extremely limited, too. There was not much room for the designer to make full use of it.
Most of the crystal bombs had been discovered and controlled by Li Yao. If there were any hidden crystal bombs, they would have to be buried in the most vulnerable parts of the structure of the anonymous hospital in order to blow up all the evidence once and for all. Then …
"This is the place!"
Li Yao found the last crystal bomb in an inconspicuous tube below the anonymous hospital.
The crystal bomb had been buried in an extremely sordid place. It happened to be on the central axis that supported the entire twenty-seventh district. Should it explode, it might lead to the collapse of the entire underground city. A lot of rocks and metal structures would collapse brutally. Not only would the anonymous hospital as well as the twenty-seventh district be completely crushed, the underground towns deeper inside would also be affected. Eventually, the entire underground chasm would be buried.
If that happened, the number of innocent people who would be buried alive would be more than hundreds of thousands!
In order to destroy the evidence, they did not hesitate to bury hundreds of thousands if not millions of people with them. Li Yao had a new understanding of how cruel the Immortal Cultivators could be.
The reason why Li Linghai's team did not detect the crystal bomb in the beginning was that it was covered in a shell made of special metal materials and sealed by rather complicated barriers. Also, it was in the hibernation state in the first place.
Li Yao investigated for a long time and discovered that the trigger mechanism of the crystal bomb was rather interesting. The dozens of crystal bombs at the periphery would send extremely feeble waves to it every ten seconds. As long as it received dozens of waves at the same time, it would be in the hibernation state all the time.
Once it failed to receive the signals of other crystal bombs in time, it would explode without any hesitation, blowing up the support shaft of the entire underground city and triggering a chain reaction. The lives of millions of people would be obliterated together with all the criminal evidence!
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth without him knowing it.
Just for the design of such a vicious self-destruction device, he was determined to find out the monster doctor, Dongfang Renxin, and crush the Dongfang family!
Now that he had learned the trigger mechanism of the last crystal bomb, the rest was easy.
Li Yao turned back and studied the dozens of crystal bombs in front of him. As he expected, he found a group of tiny signal transmission chips in the deepest part of the bombs, which would send out specific waves every ten seconds. Also, the waves that every crystal bomb sent out were different. They seemed to be some sort of serial number or password.
All the signal transmission chips were connected to the control chips of the crystal bombs. If the control chips were dismantled or stopped functioning, those signal transmission chips would burn up at the same time and stop sending out waves.
Due to the lack of time, Li Yao did not have the time to simulate dozens of different signals.
Pondering for a moment, he reconstructed the circuits of spiritual energy of the crystal bombs and disconnected the signal transmission chips from the control chips, connecting them to new circuits.
It was equivalent to fooling the signal transmission chips and making them think that they were still connected to the main line.
After finishing the critical step, Li Yao was finally able to take a long breath in relief and begin the final dismantling work.
The hundred and eight super-tiny mechanical spiders were activated at the same time. They carefully spun the dozens of 'stamens' softly and slowly drew them out.
The self-destruction device had been sabotaged!
Li Yao leaped up from the cocoon-shaped cabin. Vomiting a mouthful of nerve buffer liquids, he grinned!
Gesturing for Li Jialing to bring a towel over, he turned on the communication channel unhurriedly.
As he expected, the communication channel was filled with the anxious roars of Yue Wushuang, Tu Zhengdao, and the rest of them.
Li Yao smiled and said, "The self-destruction device has been cracked. You can attack boldly without any worries now!"
After hearing that, the flames and explosions from the direction of the anonymous hospital were immediately much more intense than before.
Dongfang Renxin's secret research in this place was clandestine after all. He even had to keep it a secret from many people within the Dongfang family.
Therefore, although there were experts such as the 'Thirty-Three Limits' as guards, it was impossible for him to summon a few elite Exos of the Crystal Suit Legion to guard the place openly.
The reformists, on the other hand, had mobilized all their elites for the assault and capture that they had been planning for a long time. They even abandoned a lot of strongholds on the ground for that. It was obvious that they were determined to win.
The two parties were not at an impasse for long. The capture squad of the reformists broke through the gate of the anonymous hospital and marched into Dongfang Renxin's secret research institute.
The pictures in the secret research institute were transmitted to Li Yao's portable crystal processor in real time through the surveillance cameras on the Crystal Suit of the capture squad, allowing him to see the whole picture of the man-eating nest.
Inside the crystal containers that were sealed in ice, in the suspicious nutrition liquids, all kinds of bizarre-shaped and even deformed organs were soaked. There was no telling whether they were from human beings or alien beasts.
Many of the organs were connected to crystal wires that were fluctuating as if they were alive!
There were also dozens of human brains that were connected to bloody spines. The ends of the spines were slightly swollen like eggs with dark golden colors. They were apparently the brains, spines, and cores of the experts at the peak of the Core Formation Stage!
The rest of the pictures were so shocking and disgusting that even Li Yao could not help but feel nauseous.
The pictures were a hundred times more disgusting than the scenes where human beings were transformed into demons in Elder Nether Spring's' Nether World 'laboratory in the Blood Demon Sector!
At the end of the secret research institute was an operation room.
On two platforms that looked both like surgical beds and devil altars, two young men were lying respectively. They were both in a coma, but one of the young men was locked by barriers and could not move at all.
His skull had been opened, and his brain was obviously shrinking, as if it had been extracted from his spiritual root and delivered to the brain of the other young man.
The other young man, who had the air of nobility on his face, widened his eyes. His pupils were dilated, and he was already dead.
It seemed that the ceremony had been disrupted by the assault at the critical moment. Something went wrong, and the young man who was supposed to be reborn was killed on the spot without even having the chance to take his body away.
"Haha. The Dongfang family is truly doomed this time!"
