Before the last word came out of his mouth, Suo Chaolong had already bitten his own tongue, because the whole ground shook up and down violently, as if a prehistoric behemoth had crashed into the island at the bottom of the sea, causing the island to jump up for more than ten meters before crashing down heavily!
For a moment, everybody experienced weightlessness. Some of them even felt that their butts were lifted almost twenty centimeters into the air.
BOOM! CRACK!
A deafening explosion echoed deep inside the island. Despite the thick rocks, everybody felt that a crystal bomb had been detonated in their ears!
Huala! Huala! Huala!
Dozens of bronze pillars suddenly collapsed to the ground. The ground nearby collapsed on a large scale, too. Bright lightning spurted out of the holes like fountains, magma, and seedlings of lightning that grew into giant trees in the blink of an eye!
The collapses continued expanding. Dozens of collapses congregated into a giant hole almost a thousand meters in diameter, seriously corroding a corner of the captive camp.
In the area, all the frost thorns, the high-voltage electric net, the bronze pillars, and the demonized plants at the periphery were gone!
Looking down from one side of the hole, it was possible to see the section of the captive camp that looked like a beehive. A lot of captives had been caged underground and did not have the time to escape to the surface through the narrow exits. Right now, they were all staring at the gloomy sky in the freezing wind, dumbfounded like frozen penguins!
At the bottom of the hole, where the pivot of the great array, the warehouse of crystals, and the area where a squadron of the Nether World Watch and dozens of biochemical beasts were stationed, it had turned into a black hole of death because of the rampaging electric currents!
The capacity of a teleportation array was limited. The squadron of the Nether World Watch had been gathered together and prepared to be teleported to the surface in squads. But before they had the chance to scream, they were ripped apart by the dragons made of billions of electric arcs and devoured without leaving a single bone and flesh!
Suo Chaolong, Han Tuhu, and Yuchi Ba looked at each other in bewilderment, their lips shivering for a long time. They felt that a block of ice had been stuffed into their throats, making it impossible for them to utter a single word.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The bronze pillars that were shaking on the ground lost the ability to spurt out electric arcs, too. The electromagnetic confinement magical equipment in midair smashed down one after another like hailstones.
All of the captives' electromagnetic shackles lost their magnetic power. Their hands and feet were easily separated!
Suo Chaolong and Han Tuhu looked at each other. When the tips of their noses touched, they shivered and hurriedly pushed each other away.
Suo Chaolong stretched his arms and legs. His gaze went from shock to confusion, from confusion to joy, and from joy to madness!
"Chaos, the God of Chaos has appeared. He has really appeared. The God of Chaos has come to save us!"
Yuchi Ba was so excited that tears were rolling down his cheeks, leaving crystal beads of ice on his coarse face.
Many devout believers of Chaos even prostrated themselves in the direction of the hole.
"What's the point of worshipping a ghost now?"
Suo Chaolong spat out a mouthful of saliva that pierced into the ground. He hammered his chest twice, causing the muscles on his arms and chest to swell up as if they were being inflated. He screamed at the top of his voice. "All the barriers have lost their effectiveness. The path leading to the outside of the captive camp is open, too. But don't be in a hurry to run away. Let's pick up our brothers below the ground first and search for the enemy's arsenal by the way!
"The organized enemy will march to us from the south of the island very soon. We have to get enough weapons and establish a stable battle formation before they arrive!
"Hold on for a while. We will certainly get out of here!"
"Brothers. Let's go! "
Suo Chaolong, captain of the Blood Lion Battalion and a silver-blood demon, roared!
"Brothers, let's go!"
Yuchi Ba, master of the Skeleton Island and the fifth elder of the Blade of Chaos, roared!
"Brothers. Let's go! "
Han Tuhu, captain of the Flying Tigers Legion, colonel of the Union Army, and an expert in the Core Formation Stage, roared!
…
On the surveillance picture, the crowd in the captive camp was swallowing like ravenous ants. The surveillance center of the Nether World was caught in weird silence.
The expressions on Lu Wuxin, Despot, and Swirl's faces … They all seemed to have been stabbed by an icicle from the top of their head. They were all freezing.
"What's going on?"
Every lump on Lu Wuxin's face seemed to be erupting with infuriated magma.
"It seems that … It seems that the 'Great Array of Thunderous Demons' was accidentally overloaded and detonated the tremendous crystals that were replenished yesterday, raising a great explosion below the ground! The barrier has completely malfunctioned! "
The white-robed demon who was responsible for controlling the 'Capital Thunderbolt Array' stammered, as if he had been mired in a swamp and swallowed by desperation. Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi!
Inside the control center, lights were flashing. Ripples were popping up on countless light beams. Even the biochemical brains were cramping at a much higher frequency than usual. Several small biochemical brains were even exploding!
Exclamations were echoing nonstop in the communication channel. A lot of critical locations were experiencing serious interference and instability of spiritual energy.
Lu Wuxin's face was more and more gloomy. "Calculate the losses!"
With a bitter face, the white-robed demon said, "Capital Thunderbolt Array is not just the pivot of the barrier but also the source of spiritual energy for almost half of the facilities in the Nether World because of its ability to trigger high-voltage electromagnetic waves.
"The explosion not only blew up more than half of the captive camp and affected a squadron of soldiers of the Nether World Watch, the high-intensity electromagnetic waves during the moment of the explosion seriously affected a lot of our magical equipment and demonic equipment, too. Both the communication and the surveillance pictures were seriously jammed. Even if we switch to the backup power source right now, I estimate that it will take at least half an hour for everything to return to normal!
Lu Wuxin rubbed his face hard with his tentacles and gnashed his teeth. "What a genius design to concentrate the energy of most of the facilities in one place. Huh?"
"It can't be helped. The Gloomy Wind Island in the North Pole is too remote. It is very difficult to ship assets here. Also, in such a cold weather, everything needs to be kept warm. The consumption of crystals is enormous, too."
The white-robed demon defended himself weakly. "Since the 'Capital Thunderbolt Array' can generate tremendous electromagnetic waves continuously, there is no reason to waste such precious energy …"
Lu Wuxin stared at him. His tentacles were expanding and turning red one after another, like angry cobras. He seemed to be trying to strangle the white-robed demon to death.
However, he calmed down in the end after taking a long breath. He waved his hands at Despot and Swirl and said, "Suppress the riot of the test subjects at any cost!"
"Including killing all of them?" Despot asked.
Lu Wuxin hesitated for a moment. "Many of them have been specially modified. They are very important for our studies. If possible, it would be best to capture them alive."
Despot and Swirl looked at each other. They both knew that such an order meant that one of the Nether World Watch's hands had been tied.
However, they also knew what the test subjects meant for Elder Nether Spring's plan. The two of them nodded at the same time and left.
"Wait!"
The moment they turned around and left, Lu Wuxin shouted hideously, "I'll bring 'those things' with me and go with you!"
…
Below the ground of the Nether World, inside the warehouse of biochemical beasts, alarms were ringing louder and louder.
Dozens of soldiers of the Nether World Watch rushed forward, activated the biochemical beasts, and sent them to the surface through teleportation arrays.
Above their heads, a streak of scarlet brightness flashed so fast that neither they nor the biochemical eyes that had been jammed detected it.
Li Yao rushed forward in the zigzagging pathway.
Every biochemical eye had been discovered by Neltharion during the reconnaissance the day before yesterday. Moving as if he were dancing, he avoided the surveillance range and soon found his destination, which was a night lounge of the Nether World Watch.
At this moment, the lounge was empty, but there were several battle suits of the Nether World Watch in the cupboard.
Half a minute later, a soldier of the Nether World Watch, who was wearing a black leather long coat and a pure black cold-proof mask on his face, crawled out of the lounge. After turning a corner, he held his head high and strode toward the lift.
Although it was somewhat strange for him to be wearing a thick cold-proof mask indoors, considering that he was probably going to fight on the ground, nobody would be suspicious of him. Beep!
Beep!
The gate of the lift was opened softly, revealing three fully-armed soldiers of the Nether World Watch inside.
The three soldiers were whispering to each other and did not notice Li Yao's arrival.
The control system of the lift could not select a new floor until it scanned the palmprint of the target.
The destination of the three soldiers of the Nether World Watch was the sixth floor below ground.
If Li Yao did not have his palmprint scanned, he would have to go to the same floor as them. However, Li Yao was not clear about the situation on the sixth floor below ground, and he did not have a suitable reason to go there. One moment of hesitation, and it was very likely that they would interrogate him.
Li Yao turned his back to them and placed his right hand on the scanning rune array softly.
Beep!
The scanning rune array turned green!
Li Yao secretly took a breath in relief and chose the floor where the Fire Ant was locked.
The three soldiers of the Nether World Watch, after hearing the familiar voice, did not look at him at all.
When he was in the warehouse of the biochemical beasts, Li Yao had been considering how to go up.
The ventilation tubes were full of bugs and spiders. It was obviously impossible for him to climb up. Therefore, the lift was the most convenient choice.
The most important thing was that he had to get the palmprint of a soldier of the Nether World Watch.
It was not a problem for him at all.
In 'Stormy Sword', a classic of robberies written by Fengyu Zhong, an expert space pirate of the Flying Star Sector, there was a description of how to scan and forge palmprints.
