Looking at the empty control center, Li Yao couldn't have felt more comfortable. He planted a lot of sordid crystal bombs in the debris of the mainframe crystal processors that could not be dismantled and taken away, making sure that not even a single cooling rune array would be left for Elder Nether Spring. Then, he turned around and checked the Fire Ant's situation.
The Fire Ant's tail was thicker and thicker. Like a round watermelon, it flowed into his body from the main biochemical brain.
In the end, the main biochemical brain shivered. A bright gray ball that looked like an egg protruded out of the 'frontal lobe'.
"Got it."
Li Yao was refreshed. He knew that the biochemical brain was different from the crystal processor in structure. It was made of biochemical 'units' with different functions. The gray 'egg' was the memory and storage unit of the biochemical brain.
A lot of secrets and files in the 'Nether World' were stored in the unit.
"Let's go."
Li Yao shouted at the Fire Ant.
The bombardment outside of the defense rune arrays was louder and louder. There was also the sound of drilling magical equipment in the shape of a drill. Li Yao extended his telepathic thoughts out of the hole on the ceiling and sensed that hundreds of soldiers of the Nether World Watch were gathering outside. More were on their way.
"Wait a moment."
The Fire Ant sucked the memory unit of the main biochemical brain into his palm, but he did not pull out the tail. Instead, he continued communicating with the main biochemical brain while narrowing his eyes.
Li Yao was confused. "What are you doing?"
"I'm communicating with the circle of demonic plants outside of the captive camp and trying to control them."
The Fire Ant said casually. His voice was somewhat hollow, as if it were coming from a place far, far away. "The demonic plants are a certain frost mutation of the Storm Flower. They can spurt out spores that contain extremely powerful frost spiritual energy. They are the most lethal anti-air weapons.
"Many of the captives boast the ability of flight. Elder Nether Spring must've deployed a circle of Frost Storm Flowers outside of the captive camp to prevent them from escaping through the air.
"But right now, it is a devilish warship that is parked in midair."
Li Yao was slightly dazed. The situation in the northern part of the island could be seen from the surveillance footage.
As he and the Fire Ant wreaked havoc deep inside the 'Nether World', the elites of the Nether World Watch seemed to be caught in a dilemma. They did not know whether they should suppress the riot of the captives first or return to reinforce the 'Nether World'.
The devilish warship was still floating in midair. He simply turned the bow of the ship in the direction of the Nether World.
The Fire Ant's soul crawled into the depths of the main biochemical brain through the nerves in his tail. Then, it moved along the biochemical nerves through the vibration and enhancement of the main biochemical brain. They surged towards the demonic plants in the north of the island, the Frost Storm Flower, as if they had merged with these demonic plants.
Li Yao was surprised. "You can control these demonic plants?"
The Fire Ant smiled. "Have you forgotten who I am?"
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He recalled the clusters of demonic plants that he saw when he first arrived in Void Turmoil City.
The Fire Ant was the expert best at cultivating demonic plants in the entire Blood Demon Sector in the first place. Now that he had hacked the main biochemical brain, it was more than easy for him to manipulate the Icestorm Flower.
Above the captive camp, inside the devilish warship … The faces of Lu Wuxin, Despot, and Swirl were all gloomy.
"A huge explosion took place inside the Nether World. The test field of the new weapon has been completely destroyed. Several floors below have been penetrated through.
"The center of the explosion was the torture chamber where the Fire Ant is in.
"Not good. The control center has been compromised. The communication between us and the control center has been cut off.
"The control center has activated the defense mode of the highest level. We are blocked outside and cannot break in for the time being."
Bad news came one after another. They were like rusty nails that were nailed into the heads of the three men.
The most critical thing of all was that they had not figured out what had happened to this moment.
At first … Lu Wuxin thought that the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle on the Fire Ant had exploded.
However, the explosion of such confining magical equipment was certainly not as powerful as that.
When the news that the control center had been compromised came over, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and immediately wanted to reinforce the captives.
However, the second earth-shaking explosion seemed to have given the rebellious captives a shot of super stimulants. Not only were the warriors of the Blade of Chaos charging forward fearlessly, but they were also charging forward. The other captives of the demon race and the Union Army were also roaring nonstop.
On the other hand, the morale of the Nether World Watch hit rock bottom.
If the first explosion could be explained as a coincidence, the second explosion was a hundred percent proof of the existence of a mysterious enemy.
What the Nether World Watch was doing was clandestine in the first place. Now that their secrets were likely to be exposed, the psychological blow was almost fatal.
Gaps and loopholes gradually appeared on the black city wall that was as solid as iron. Many soldiers of the Nether World Watch were apparently slowed down. They looked back frequently, trying to find more clues from the twisted mushroom cloud above the 'Nether World'.
Anyone with the slightest military knowledge could tell that if the order to 'retreat' was given, the entire army of the Nether World Watch would probably collapse.
Lu Wuxin breathed heavily. Every scar on his face that looked like a centipede was bouncing up, and his expression was even more hideous than before.
"I'll go."
Despot rose up abruptly. "I'll take care of the trouble in the Nether World with my own team."
"Wait."
Swirl suddenly stopped him. "Don't go. Nobody knows what is going on in the Nether World right now.
"Now that the enemy has hacked the control center and cut off our communication, they must've taken over the entire defense system.
"All the channels inside the Nether World must've been closed. All the lifts have stopped working, too. How long will it take for you to infiltrate the control center if you go in recklessly?
"Besides, you know very well what level the enemy is exactly, considering that they have caused such a huge mess. We will only be able to maximize our combat ability if we join our hands. You will only be committing suicide if you go in alone.
"Aim our main guns at the dock and prepare to fire."
Despot was dazed. "What?"
Swirl sneered, with weird colors beaming out of her eyes. "Whoever the enemy is, and what their purpose is, they will eventually be faced with the problem of escaping from the control center. Do you think they will fight their way to the surface from below the ground like idiots again?
"They won't. They will certainly discover the secret teleportation array that we deployed deep inside the control center.
"Therefore, aim at the dock and adjust the settings. Lock onto the exit of the secret teleportation array.
"Prepare all the acid cannons, poison gas cannons, and demonic light cannons. Once any anomaly is detected on the teleportation array, shoot them all."
Despot rolled his eyes and patted his breastplate. "Impressive. Impressive. You have grasped the enemy's weakness so quickly.
"It is impossible for us to take back the control center before the enemy causes serious damage. With that in mind, we can only focus on what's in front of us now."
Swirl bit her lips softly. Her charming face was covered in frost. "Ask the ground troops to inject more drugs to make them go berserk. Suppress the riot of the captives at any cost.
"Don't worry about the lives of the captives anymore. Kill. Kill.
"As for the mysterious guy in the Nether World, unless you plan to hide below the ground like a rat for the rest of your life, you will certainly crawl out of the secret teleportation array, won't you?
"Also, your goal must be to steal the devilish warship. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape from the lone island at the center of the frozen ocean.
"Wait. The control center is not well controlled."
Desperation suddenly popped up on Swirl's face, as if somebody had stabbed her in the heart.
At the same time, earsplitting alarms were echoing.
Before everybody realized what was going on, the devilish warship suddenly shrank like a bug that had been shocked. It activated the automatic evasion technique and dodged quickly.
However, it was too close, too late.
The devilish warship happened to be hovering above the thousand Frost Storm Flowers.
The ugly demonic plants that looked like the internal organs of ferocious beasts had been in the active state in the first place, ready to launch a fatal strike on the captives who were flying in midair.
Therefore, when tremendous spiritual energy was condensing inside their torsos, the devilish warship did not send out any alarms.
Lu Wuxin and the rest of them did not notice that the spore spurts of all the demonic plants were slightly adjusting their direction and angle, either.
The thousand Frost Storm Flowers expanded crazily at the same time. Ice stripes were spreading out on their surface. Then, after a 'pu' sound, they spurted out almost a thousand fierce frost spores at the devilish warship that was right next to them.
The spores were the essence of their life in the first place. It was in such a way that the Frost Storm Flowers spurted their 'seeds' far away so that their offspring could reproduce on the vast land.
The further the range, the larger the 'territory' of the Frost Storm Flowers would be. Even the wild Frost Storm Flowers could spurt their spores dozens of kilometers away. The Frost Storm Flowers that had been genetically modified for hundreds of generations had a range and power that were as good as the flying swords of the Cultivators.
Caught unprepared, the devilish warship was hit by the thousand pale torrents of ice before it had the time to activate the shield of demonic energy. The middle of the warship was immediately frozen by the extremely low temperature. Its hardness and tenacity plummeted, and it could not bear the weight and pulling force of the front and back anymore. After a crack, the warship seemed to be breaking apart.
The biochemical nerves between the bridge and the engine units were frozen, torn apart, and shattered by the extremely low temperature, too. The devilish warship that had lost control shrieked and spun, falling from the sky and smashing precisely into the solemn battle formation of the thousand soldiers of the Nether World Watch.
Dozens of unlucky soldiers of the Nether World Watch were smashed into meat pies before they even had the chance to scream. The rest of the soldiers fled in all directions. It was impossible for them to maintain the solid defense line.
Han Tuhu, Suo Chaolong, and Yuchi Ba were dumbfounded. Looking at each other in bewilderment, they looked at the collapsed defense line of the Nether World Watch and the devilish warships that were falling apart in cracking sounds in the blue mist, as if they were in a dream.
Suo Chaolong: "It — it's your God Chaos' work again."
