Chapter 319 Lin Chuxue's Departure
Chapter 319 Lin Chuxue's Departure
The pump station's iron gate is open inwards.
Behind the door was not a machine room, but an operating room.
The shadowless lamp hung from the ceiling, half of the lamp head was broken, but the other half was still lit.
An operating table was placed under the light.
A person in a white coat was facing away from the door, handling something at the counter.
He heard the door open, but didn't stop moving.
"The door wasn't locked."
"Remember to change your shoes before you come in."
Qin Wuyi's array plate has locked down the entire pump station.
The gravitational field presses down on the ground, preventing dust in the air from falling.
This person, however, moved freely without even taking a step.
Wen Yue raised her crossbow.
The crossbow scope was placed over the back of the man's neck.
"I didn't bring spare shoe covers."
Wen Yue said.
The man turned around.
He wore a silver mirrored mask, obscuring his facial features.
The mask reflected the light from the operating lights.
He held a scalpel in his hand, the tip of which was piercing a still-pulsating nerve.
"It's okay."
"Just use your skins to make one."
The silver-masked man placed the nerve back on the operating table tray.
The plate was piled with various organs and tissues, and even had a patient's nameplate from Xichuan Hospital attached.
He is not imitating the frequency of a water pump.
He is using these organs to build a living heart.
The heartbeat was perfectly synchronized with the frequency of the water pump.
Lu Yan's Void Disc aimed at the silver-masked man.
This person is not within the system's scanning range.
"Don't waste your energy."
The silver-masked man wiped his scalpel.
He raised his hand and pointed at Wen Yue.
Wen Yue pulled the trigger.
The high-explosive grenade was launched.
The man in the silver mask did not dodge.
The grenade flew to within half a meter of him and stopped in mid-air.
The warhead spun at high speed, but could not advance even an inch further.
Qin Wuyi's main disk emitted a slight buzzing sound.
The boundary force field was blocked by an invisible force.
"Your formation is quite good."
"The man in the silver mask said."
"Unfortunately, the scope is too small."
He flicked his finger lightly.
The high-explosive grenade flew back at three times the speed it had come from.
Wen Yue rolled to her side.
The grenade grazed her shoulder armor and embedded itself in the iron gate behind her.
A deafening roar.
The pump station's iron gate was blown open and rolled outwards.
Xiao Qianyu appeared at the doorway.
The back of the Dragon King's Halberd struck the silver-masked man's mask.
The silver-masked man raised his scalpel.
The tip of the blade precisely met the side edge of the halberd.
Xiao Qianyu pressed her wrist down.
The halberd failed to suppress the attack even slightly.
"Spatial cutting".
The man in the silver mask looked at her.
"You're nowhere near as good as the last person who used this weapon."
He twisted his wrist.
Xiao Qianyu was pushed away by a tremendous force and crashed into the wall to the side.
Su Yunqing's shield was deployed in time, blocking most of the impact.
Lu Yan did not let any more team members go forward.
Black lotus patterns spread out from beneath his feet.
The entire pumping station was covered in black.
The ground beneath the silver-masked man's feet began to peel away.
"Black Lotus".
The man in the silver mask glanced down.
"I have this too."
Black lines also spread out beneath his feet.
The two fields collided.
Cracks began to appear in the walls of the pump station.
The living heart on the operating table beats even faster.
"Your black lotus can only be erased."
"The man in the silver mask said."
"Mine can be copied."
The black lotus pattern beneath his feet began to deform.
They imitated Lu Yan's domain, replicating the exact same structure.
Qin Wuyi's boundary-fixing array could not withstand the clash between the two domains.
All six array plates shattered simultaneously.
Qin Wuyi took a step back, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
"Captain, he can replicate the laws!"
Lu Yan looked at the man in the silver mask.
What do you want?
"I want the seventh knife."
The silver-masked man pointed at Xiao Qianyu.
"Her place was originally mine."
He put down the scalpel.
"But now, I've changed my mind."
"I want your Void Disk."
The silver-masked man walked towards Lu Yan.
With each step he took, a piece of his white coat peeled off.
The body beneath was revealed, covered in a silvery liquid.
Lu Yan held the Void Disc horizontally in front of his chest.
"The monsters in Xichuan were commanded by you."
"That's right."
The silver-masked man stopped at the boundary of the Black Lotus territory.
"Those were just appetizers."
"It was used to bring you here."
He spread his hands.
Images of Lin Chuxue and that girl appeared in his palm.
They were standing on the sixth basement level of the old city hospital.
The surrounding area is filled with countless culture chambers.
"Look."
"The person you're looking for is with me."
"Now, give me the Disk of Nothingness."
"I let them live."
Lu Yan did not move.
Zhao Leiguang's voice came through the team's internal channel.
"Old Lu, the bridge arch is about to give way!"
"These beasts are insane!"
Under the railway bridge.
Zhao Leiguang's Earth Pulse Shield is already covered with cracks.
Two deep pits were dented in the ground beneath his feet.
Shen Xinglin's lance chainsaw had been forcibly cooled twice due to overheating.
Monsters continued to emerge from under the railway tracks.
Their carapaces were all dragging along things brought from the hospital.
Blood bags, organ samples, human skin files.
Their target is not the wounded evacuation line.
They are transporting materials to the flesh and blood array beneath the Old City Hospital.
Lu Yan looked at the Void Disc.
The patient's nameplate on the monster's back was disassembled from the disc.
All the numbers come from Xichuan Old City Hospital.
The end of the strange tide is the sixth underground level.
If the east wall falls, thousands of wounded will die.
If the first squad is dragged here, Lin Chuxue will also die.
This is a dead end.
Lu Yan raised his head.
You made a mistake.
"What's wrong?"
"The man in the silver mask asked."
"You shouldn't have made demands of me."
Lu Yan retrieved the Void-Nothing Disc.
The Black Lotus territory expanded rapidly.
The entire pumping station structure began to collapse.
"Wen Yue, blow this place up."
Lu Yan gave the order.
Wen Yue did not hesitate.
She fired all the remaining high-explosive grenades from her quiver at the supporting columns of the pump station.
"Xiao Qianyu, take Su Yunqing and Qin Wuyi and retreat."
Xiao Qianyu pulled the two of them up, and the turn signal lit up.
The three disappeared through the blown-open iron gate.
The man in the silver mask looked at Lu Yan.
"You want to die here with me?"
"I have no interest in dying with you."
Lu Yan said.
"I just wanted to tell you."
"The rules of China."
"What you can't get at the negotiating table, you can't expect to get on the battlefield."
The roof of the pumping station collapsed.
Huge blocks of cement and steel bars crashed down.
Lu Yan's figure was engulfed by the flames of the explosion.
Railway bridge arch.
The monster's attack stopped.
They stopped attacking Zhao Leiguang's shield wall and turned to retreat towards the old city hospital.
Zhao Lei leaned against the shield, panting heavily.
"What happened?"
"They've stopped fighting?"
Shen Xinglin put away his lance.
"The command center is gone."
Lu Yan's voice rang out in the team's chat channel.
"Return to defend the east wall."
"Hold the transfer line."
Zhao Leiguang was stunned for a moment.
"Are you alright?"
"He won't die."
The abandoned pumping station has been turned into a sea of fire.
Lu Yan emerged from the ruins.
The outer layer of the armor was charred black.
He glanced in the direction of the old city hospital.
The vanguard of the strange tide rushed out, and a towed ambulance emerged.
The carriage was crammed with sewn-on dolls.
Zhao Leiguang rammed his shield into the ambulance, causing it to overturn.
The driver's terminal at the front of the vehicle is still operating.
On the screen, a transcript of Lin Chuxue's audio recording was left.
Don't chase me.
"Three thousand children are imprisoned on the sixth basement level."
"The door is open."
