Chapter 315 The Girl in the Blood Gate
The mineral crystals were still providing power, so Lin Chuxue's Blood Explosion Array couldn't penetrate it.
Lu Yan raised his hand.
"No clothes, legs locked."
Qin Wuyi pressed the main plate into the mining layer.
He didn't touch the two animal heads.
The beast's head can bite, and its four limbs must touch the ground.
Six array plates were arranged along the claw marks of the rock lizard, and four mineral layers were pressed into fixed coordinates.
The beast head on the left raised and rammed towards Zhao Leiguang.
Zhao Leiguang held the two shields together in front of his chest, with the edges of the shields pressing against the fangs.
"This one on the left is mine, but who wants the one on the right?"
Shen Xinglin cut the lance into a chainsaw.
"Don't take any of them, just open them and go back."
The rock lizard dragged Zhao Leiguang backward, its four claws tearing open the mineral layer.
Qin Wuyi lifted the main plate.
The rock lizard's left forepaw landed within the array's range, its claw tip gripping the ground, but it couldn't move forward.
The beast head on the right turned towards Qin Wuyi.
Xiao Qianyu stepped into the teleportation beacon, with the Dragon King's Halberd positioned in front of the beast's head.
The halberd blade sliced through the jaw plates, but the rock lizard turned its head away, biting through empty air.
Zhao Lei seized the opportunity and thrust both shields upwards.
The left side of the beast's head was lifted by the shield, revealing half of soft flesh below its neck.
"Old Shen, open the door from behind."
Shen Xinglin stepped onto the rock lizard's forelimb, and pressed the chainsaw down along the seam of its carapace.
The armor plate was cut open, and mineral fragments fell out from the gap.
The rock lizard swung its spine, and Shen Xinglin's leg armor slammed into the edge of its carapace.
Su Yunqing raised the Gift of Yao Guang, placing the shield against his knee.
"Hold on tight."
Shen Xinglin didn't turn around; the chainsaw continued downwards.
Wen Yue stood on a high point in the mine and pressed the armor-piercing arrow into the crossbow groove.
She didn't have many arrows left, and she hadn't even figured out the fifth gate yet.
The longer this rock lizard drags on, the more of a battle will be fought on the other side of the Xichuan city wall.
"Is the gap large enough?"
"enough."
Wen Yue loosened the crossbow string.
The armor-piercing arrow pierced through the seam of the carapace and embedded itself in the rock lizard's body
Lin Chuxue put the lollipop in her mouth and raised her staff halfway.
The blood-burst array pattern drilled into the gap along the arrow shaft and stuck to the energy supply point of the mineral crystal.
"You seem to be enjoying mining, so let's try something different."
The rock lizard raised its two heads simultaneously, and large cracks appeared beneath the mineral layer.
Lin Chuxue lowered her staff.
The array patterns converged within the rock lizard's abdominal cavity.
The energy supply patterns on the carapace gradually faded away.
Zhao Leiguang withdrew his double shields, and the rock lizard crashed into the mineral layer, its limbs still trying to prop itself up.
Qin Wuyi pressed the array plate down.
The mineral layer collapsed from the belly of the rock lizard, burying half of its body in broken rock.
The silver-gray light layer inside the portal retracted inward.
When the third gate went out, the north slope fault also collapsed halfway.
The defense army's engineering corps blocked the doorway, and no one dared to go in to take inventory.
Zhao Leiguang carried the two shields and walked out of the doorway.
"This place needs a sign."
Wen Yue put away the crossbow.
"Write what?"
"Wei Xinghe is forbidden from approaching the mineral crystals."
Lin Chuxue scraped a piece of crystal off her staff.
"He's gone, and you're still keeping accounts."
"The person is gone, but the debts must remain."
Lu Yan turned to open the tactics board.
The fourth gate is located underground at the abandoned Xichuan water plant.
The blood-red mark on the fifth door remained unchanged, and the unsigned record on the dial did not disappear.
The first squad has entered the fifth gate.
No one has ever been inside.
At least, the first team is still standing on the north slope.
Lu Yan did not send this message to the defense force commander.
The breach in the city wall had just been plugged, but the soldiers didn't have enough ammunition left to cause further trouble.
"Go to the water plant."
The pump house of the abandoned water plant collapsed on one side, and the maintenance ladder is still left at the entrance of the underground pool.
The fourth gate stands at the bottom of the pool, with black water accumulating around the gate frame.
Dozens of absorptive beasts were clinging to the pool walls.
Their bellies were pressed against the cement, and their fleshy whiskers were embedded deep in the black water.
Su Yunqing first cast a shield on everyone.
The shield adhered to the outer layer of the armor, and the corrosive insects that emerged from the black water crashed into it and fell back to the bottom of the pool.
"Don't let water get under your nails."
Zhao Leiguang looked down at the shield.
"This water smells so bad it's not worth the expense."
Su Yunqing pressed the shield firmly against his shoulder armor.
"If you dare touch it, I'll have logistics take you and the shield down with you."
Xiao Qianyu stepped onto the steel beams by the pool.
The fleshy tendrils beneath the steel beams are connected to the bottom of the pool, with their roots completely hidden in the black water.
She didn't rush forward.
The mouthparts of the absorptive beasts all face the surface of the pool; whoever enters the water first will be entangled first.
Xiao Qianyu changed landing points three times along the steel beam, and the Dragon King Halberd hung above the water.
The first piece of flesh was cut off, and the beast that had been attached to the pool wall tumbled into the black water.
The second and third articles are then disconnected.
Black water churned up large amounts of filth, and carrion insects crawled up the edge of the pool.
Qin Wuyi placed the array plate on the edge of the pool.
The swarm's exit was sealed between two broken cement slabs.
Lin Chuxue stood in front of the exit and tapped the ground with her staff.
"Should I take these smaller ones?"
Lu Yan scanned the data at the bottom of the pool.
"Save your attacks, the lord hasn't come out yet."
Lin Chuxue put her staff away.
"Okay, let's make a name for them first."
Zhao Leiguang planted the two shields into the ground by the pool.
The pulsations pressed down along the pool wall.
The black water was pushed to both sides, revealing a lump of flesh covered with parasitic sacs at the bottom of the pool.
The lord beast pressed against the door frame, its belly flesh piercing into the light layer of the portal.
Shen Xinglin raised his lance.
"There is no armor on the abdomen."
"Qianyu cuts the meat, while Lao Zhao holds down the edge of the pool."
After Lu Yan reported the location, Wen Yue had already switched to a spread grenade.
The arrows landed in the shallow water around the lord beast, spaced two meters apart.
The lord beast raised its belly, trying to retract its fleshy whiskers back to the bottom of the pool.
Xiao Qianyu fell from the steel beam, her halberd first severing the fleshy tendrils on the left side.
Zhao Lei pushed his double shields forward, shattering the edge of the pool, and the pulse pattern pressed down on the lord beast's abdomen.
Su Yunqing pressed the shield down at Zhao Leiguang's feet.
The black water hit the shield but didn't touch his trouser leg.
"Wen Yue."
Lu Yan lifted the Void Plate and threw the entire area of the parasitic sac onto the surface of the pool.
Wen Yue pressed down with a powerful dunk.
The scattering grenades took effect one after another, pushing the pool water aside and exposing all the parasitic sacs.
Lin Chuxue sent the Blood Explosion Array pattern underwater.
The array patterns adhered to the parasitic sac and closed along the sac wall.
The lord beast's belly collapsed, and black water poured in through the breach.
The light layer of the fourth door retracted into the door frame, and the fleshy tendrils at the bottom of the pool lost their support and scattered into the black water.
Xiao Qianyu stepped onto the steel beam and returned to the edge of the pool, her halberd dripping with dirty water.
Wen Yue threw the empty grenade box into a recycling bag.
"If this kind of thing comes at the fifth gate, I'll smash it with my quiver."
Zhao Leiguang drew his two shields.
"Remember to pick it up after you're done smashing it, or the logistics department will deduct the cost of your supplies."
Of the five gates in Xichuan, only the one in the underground parking lot of the old city hospital remains.
The old city hospital had long been emptied, but the entrance to the parking lot was still partially blocked by an iron gate.
There were no monster remains outside the door.
The blood-red light reflected off the water on the ground, and the red liquid flowed out from the door frame.
Lu Yan stopped in front of the door, and the Void Disc was pasted onto the blood-red facade.
The chart only shows a narrow channel.
The end of the passage was empty.
There are no lord levels, no monster numbers, and no power supply nodes.
Lu Yan raised his hand, and the black lotus pattern crawled along the ground into the door frame.
The black lines passed through the blood-red light and stopped in the middle of the passage.
There was no return, and no warning.
This door is strange.
It's waiting for someone to go inside.
Lu Yan needs to close the gate; the Xichuan city walls can't withstand the next wave of strange tides.
He also couldn't let the team members be separated.
Zhao Lei lowered his double shields.
"There are no monsters inside the door; it sounds more like there's a trap."
"Walk carefully, stepping into the pits."
Lu Yan stepped into the Blood Gate first.
Faded hospital gowns hung on both sides of the corridor, their hems dragging on the ground.
Children's shoes were scattered against the wall, and their ID tags were broken in two.
Qin Wuyi picked up an identity tag, the back of which was engraved with the inpatient number of Xichuan Old City Hospital.
The last two digits of the number are missing.
Someone deliberately wore it down.
He put the sign back in its place.
This is not a battlefield remnant.
Some people have collected corpses and documents.
The dragging sound came from the end of the passage.
Zhao Lei pressed the edge of the shield against the wall.
"This hospital charges exorbitant fees; they even take the patients' shoes off."
Lin Chuxue did not respond.
She had a lollipop in her mouth, but her staff had fallen to her side.
The thing inside the blood gate didn't rush out.
The further you go in, the narrower the passage becomes.
Shen Xinglin stood guard at the rear of the column, his lance cut into a lock bar.
There was no movement from the rear.
This made him even more uncomfortable.
The absence of pursuers means that the entrance can be sealed off.
Su Yunqing divided the shield into eight layers and attached them to the seams of each person's armor.
Her treatment is sufficient, but there are no wounded here.
The medical team fears this kind of place the most.
Before the wound even appears, trouble is already looming nearby.
A girl was huddled in a corner at the end of the passage.
She was naked, her arms wrapped around her knees, and her ankles were encased in half-rusted chains.
The rusty chain dragged across the ground, leaving a long trail of blood from his ankle towards the door frame.
Wen Yue took off her outer tactical uniform and walked over to cover the girl with it.
The girl did not dodge.
She looked up, past Zhao Leiguang and Lu Yan, and stared at Lin Chuxue.
Lin Chuxue stopped eating the candy.
The girl grabbed Wen Yue's sleeve and squeezed out a few words.
"Sister, why did you leave me here?"
The lollipop fell to the ground.
Lin Chuxue gripped her staff, but did not move forward.
"I don't have a younger sister."
I don't know you.
