Chapter 294 Enthusiastic Citizens
Li Wantao rushed into the office. The lights in the room went out at some point and the surveillance screen was also pitch black. It was obvious that all power supplies had been cut off.
He didn't bother to look at anything. He bent down and knocked open the solid wood desk weighing hundreds of kilograms. He stomped on the wooden floor with his feet, revealing the steel plate hidden under the floor.
Li Wantao leaned over and grabbed the grooves on both sides of the steel plate. His arm muscles bulged, and with a deep voice, he opened the steel plate a tiny gap.
Because he exerted so much force, he took a deep breath and a warm, fishy smell went straight to his lungs, almost making him fall over.
Li Wantao's sixth sense, which comes from years of exposure to blood, makes him acutely aware of danger.
He immediately let go of the steel plate and tried to retreat, but before he could stand up straight, a huge force came from under the steel plate, knocking him and the steel plate away like a high-speed dump truck.
Li Wantao's back hit the ceiling hard, and the mottled wall cracked instantly, revealing circular cracks.
Before he could let go, the steel plate hit his face and chest with a bang.
Li Wantao clearly heard the sound of his ribs breaking.
He spit out a large mouthful of blood with a "wow". The feeling of weightlessness came over him, and Li Wantao fell uncontrollably from mid-air, and with a "bang" sound, he hit the ground in a big letter shape.
Li Wantao forced himself to raise his head, and vaguely saw through his bloodshot eyes a huge claw with three curved and shiny sharp claws breaking through the narrow entrance of the escape passage. The claw tip flashed with a cold light and grabbed his back, dragging him into the cave like a dead dog.
The screams from the underground boxing ring gradually faded, the sound of counterattack gunfire became inaudible, and the only sound left in the darkness was the sound of sharp teeth chewing flesh and blood.
The dense shadows like thick fog faded away, and several monsters with eagle wings and fish tails were hanging upside down on the ceiling. They opened their ferocious short snouts and spit out a glowing ball of flesh from their throats hanging on the tip of their tongues. The bright white light of the ball of flesh illuminated the entire underground boxing ring.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe the boxing arena at this moment as a sea of blood. Dozens of strange-looking and huge monsters were patrolling the blood-spattered arena, vigilantly searching for any fish that had slipped through the net.
There are many holes of different sizes randomly arranged on the ground. They are shortcuts opened by the monsters to the lower level. The entire underground building is within their sweeping range.
On the boxing ring, Ji Lanlan half-knelt on the ground, holding the dying You Hongda in her arms. She couldn't help trembling all over, looking at Ai Wanxin's tall back in front of her with fear.
She had seen Ai Wanxin fighting a giant dragon in the air, and she had also seen the phantom of a golden spear piercing the sky above Frost City.
She knew that Ai Wanxin had obtained something from Kang Baibo that could suppress the sentinels' superpowers. Today, none of the sentinels in the field could use their superpowers, not even the "Wolverine" who was like a mountain pressing down on their heads. However, Jing and the red-haired man, who should have been unable to use their superpowers, were not affected at all.
Not to mention the many horrific monsters that had never been heard of or seen that were summoned out of thin air.
This place is not only an underground boxing ring where desperate criminals gather, but also the contact point of the "Blue Fox" mercenary group in Glory City. The organization that she and Youge could not and had no power to resist was easily overthrown by them.
No wonder... No wonder Jing said that she and Brother You were too weak as teammates...
"Wolverine" was pinned to the spot by the heavy pressure, his eyes bulged, veins on his neck bulged, and he furiously wanted to attack Ai Wanxin who was standing half a meter in front of him, but he could not move at all.
Ai Wanxin placed her left hand on the back of her right hand. Under her skin, the tree-shaped totem was slightly warm.
It seemed like she had done this countless times. Ai Wanxin raised her right hand and touched the frowning brows of "Wolverine" with her fingertips.
A faint blue light swept across the body of "Wolverine" from his brow like a tide, and the tattoo on his face turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into the air.
Shan Pengcheng slowly calmed down and stopped trying to resist.
His eyes gradually focused on Ai Wanxin's face. Shan Pengcheng's face was full of confusion, as if he had a thousand words to say, but soon, before he could figure out what was going on, his eyes rolled back and he fell backwards and fainted.
Neither Qiong nor Jing had any intention of helping Shan Pengcheng. Ai Wan thought for a moment and felt that Jing was more caring about the citizens, so he turned to him and said, "Bring him with you later."
Jing naturally responded to Ai Wanxin's request. He immediately said with a smile: "I will, sister~"
A black-armored monster with a huge head crawled out of a hole in the ground next to the boxing ring. The sharp bone spurs on its neck shattered the edge of the hole.
As soon as it came out, it placed its two sturdy front paws on the boxing ring, swept its long and powerful tail left and right, and its pair of brown and yellow vertical pupils looked eagerly at Ai Wanxin.
It's a little tracker.
Ai Wanxin took two steps forward and touched its cold nose.
The little seeker beast tilted its head happily after being caressed. It raised its neck, contracted its abdominal muscles, and rolled its throat, spitting out a lump of unknown object covered in mucus next to Ai Wanxin on the boxing ring.
Ai Wanxin looked at the sticky, greasy old man's sweatshirt covering the top of the object, and said with a puzzled expression: "Did I ever tell you not to eat anything outside?"
That wasn't what the little seeker wanted to show her, so it raised its hooked claws and pulled open the old man's shirt, revealing a small pile of golden (but covered in gastric juice) gold bricks underneath.
He ate the bad guys and broke into the vault. How can he not be considered a qualified time management master?
The little seeker raised its head proudly, waiting for its owner's praise.
Recently, every night after the master fell asleep, the embryos that were rescued back into space by the master, and its brothers and sisters of the same origin but different species, broke out of their shells one after another because they regained the nourishment of the energy of the Crown of the Stars.
Of course it was very happy, but at the same time, it also felt a little sense of crisis.
The little seeker secretly made up his mind that he must work harder to please his master and ensure that he would continue to be favored!
The child was asking for praise, and Ai Wanxin would never pour cold water on him. She praised him, "Our little lizard is awesome. Do you have any more? Move them all away."
The little seeker beast neighed, flicked its long tail, turned around and burrowed back into the burrow. Many other kinds of monsters heard the call, responded with hisses, and burrowed back into the burrow.
"Brother You! Brother You, what's wrong with you?!" Ji Lanlan's anxious shout came from behind. Ai Wanxin looked in the direction of the voice and saw You Hongda's whole body convulsing and blood gushing out in large mouthfuls. It was obvious that he was at the end of his strength.
Ai Wanxin took two steps to You Hongda, and Ji Lanlan looked up at her with tears in her eyes.
"Please, save Brother You. He did this for me. I am willing to sacrifice my life for him. Please sacrifice my life for him!"
