Chapter 146: Sudden Change! Energy Cannon!

Six-winged Angel Yuna possessed the holy attribute, and she was far more sensitive to twisted auras than Xue Linglong and the others.

The crowd nodded and headed for the left fork.

There were several empty laboratories on either side of the long hallway. The closer they got to the room at the end of the long hallway, the stronger the feeling of disgust in Yuna’s heart.

There was clearly a strong, unholy aura there—which she could sense vaguely.

“This should be it. Everyone, be careful.” Xue Linglong held her spear tightly and spoke in a low voice as she looked at the closed alloy gate.

Luo Xinghe and the others nodded silently, prepared for battle.

God Devourer Ant stood in front of the alloy gate, raised its forelimbs, and blasted toward it.

The blue runes around its body—which seemed to be filled with the purest truth between heaven and earth—lit up. A savage and fierce aura then radiated in the area!

Boom!

A loud bang sounded!

The gate, cast from a special alloy, instantly crumbled under the God Devourer Ant’s terrifying force.

The room was pitch black. Thick, ink-like darkness surged, seemingly filled with an ominous presence.

Yuna wielded her staff, letting out a holy ray of light. With it, the view of the room appeared before everyone.

They only saw a drawing with crimson and twisted patterns in the wide room—resembling children’s graffiti—and some kind of evil formation.

The people in the pictures from the projector earlier on were held in the room’s depths.

“Quick, save the people!” shouted Zhao Yongkang as he walked toward the imprisoned people.

Xue Linglong and the others followed behind him, scanning their surroundings vigilantly. However, no Black Dragon Gang members were seen in the room.

Doubts arose in their hearts.

The ten-plus people in the room’s depths didn’t show the slightest bit of joy when they saw the group’s arrival. Instead, they appeared horrified.

They opened their mouths and made hoarse noises as if to let out a warning!

Zhao Yongkang and the others immediately stopped. A dull mechanical sound suddenly rang out in the room.

Cannon barrels with strange glows popped out from the wall and aimed at Xue Linglong and the others, as well as the people being held.

These were clearly Doctor Ghost’s creations!

The cannon barrels were covered with strange patterns, emitting faint green rays of light. A twisted aura brewed within the cannon, making one’s scalp go numb with fear.

Xue Linglong and the others’ hearts throbbed, and a great sense of crisis spread from the bottom of their hearts.

As if they had been targeted by a prehistoric beast, a chill rose from beneath their feet to the top of their heads.

They could feel those weapons’ horror and terrifying aura!

The energy contained within those weapons was probably enough to tear even a Stage Four powerhouse apart!

The most important thing was that a twisted, evil aura was emanating from the cannon holes. If they were contaminated by the aura, they would definitely be polluted, and it would cause an aberrated change in their bodies!

“Congratulations on finding this place. As a reward, I grant you equal death.” The teasing voice sounded from one of the speakers.

Everyone’s expressions instantly turned cold.

The next moment, a faint blue light bloomed in the pitch-black cannon holes!

Terrifying energy and evil aura intertwined and exploded out and headed toward the crowd!

Even the air was turned into nothingness by the splendid beams of light!

If one was hit by these horrible beams of light, even a Stage Four [Doomsday Online] player would be seriously injured on the spot or even obliterated!

Yuna swung her staff sharply. Radiant holy light energy intertwined in the air and turned into a shield wall.

It was [Holy Light Blessing]!

...

The main control room on the third basement floor.

After Doctor Ghost turned on the energy cannons, he switched the screen back to the corridor where Link was.

It seemed that Zhao Yongkang and his party were not worthy of their attention. Turning on the energy cannons was equivalent to sentencing them to their deaths.

In Doctor Ghost, Black Dragon, and the others’ hearts, Link was clearly the problematic one.

At this point in the picture, most of the ten-plus aberrated monsters had been killed by Link. Broken limbs and pieces of flesh were scattered on the ground.

Only two monsters remained on the loose.

Link’s combat power was extraordinary. It wasn’t something that Stage Four [Doomsday Online] players could have.

In addition to the dark shadow that flashed behind Link earlier, it added a hint of graveness to Doctor Ghost and the others’ faces.

Doctor Ghost looked at Black Dragon and slowly spoke. “Gang Leader, Link is not simple. Even our elite team might not be able to kill him. We need you to act personally in order to avoid trouble later on.”

The corners of Black Dragon’s mouth twitched, and he said to Jiang Cheng, “Please excuse me.”

Then, he immediately turned around and headed out. His sickly face was icy cold and full of murderous intent.

...

Second basement floor, the room which held the imprisoned people.

Everyone let out a long breath.

[Holy Light Blessing] was cast just in the nick of time, blocking the impact from the faint blue beams of light.

Zhao Yongkang and his party—as well as the ten-plus imprisoned [Doomsday Online] players—were protected.

The faint blue energy beams, wrapped in destruction and twisted aura, struck the golden holy light shield, stirring a circle of ripples. However, the energy beams were unable to penetrate the shield.

Thankfully, Yuna was a Super God-grade summoned creature—truly powerful. Otherwise, it would truly be difficult to block these beams of light, which were capable of tearing Stage Four powerhouses apart!

At this moment, Yuna stood in front of the crowd with her wings spread open. A golden swirl surrounded her, making her look incomparably holy and sacred. It was as if gods and goddesses had come to save the living!

The imprisoned people became a little out of sorts! It was like they were struck by lightning. Several of them froze and were dumbfounded. Thoughts of worship even appeared in their minds.

Has the angel come to save us?

Some even opened their mouths wide. Their eyes were slightly red, and their faces were full of shock and surprise. They fell on their knees, kneeling toward Yuna.

Their lifeless faces finally appeared a little brighter.

Xue Linglong and the others didn’t stay idle. Sword and spear glows shot out, destroying the cannons that were spewing light beams.

Peace was finally restored to the area.

Zhao Yongkang helped the shocked people—who had knelt down toward Yuna—up and explained, “You’re safe now. This is Yuna, summoned by our City Master.”

Upon hearing this, the rescued people were doubly surprised and shocked.

Such a powerful holy angel is someone’s summoned creature?

Even a summoned creature is so powerful! What kind of existence is her master?

As they spoke, Zhao Yongkang and the others checked on these people’s injuries.

“Damn it! Black Dragon Gang actually destroyed their vocal cords. It was no wonder they couldn’t speak just now.” Zhao Yongkang’s face was filled with anger as he spoke with hatred.

The imprisoned people had been subjected to inhumane abuse. Not only were their vocal cords damaged, but most of them were also polluted by the twisted aura. They even had varying aberrations on their bodies.

When the crowd was receiving [Holy Light Purification], dull footsteps could be heard from outside the room.

Xue Linglong and the others were immediately alerted and looked in the direction of the footsteps.

A hint of graveness appeared on their faces at the same time!
