"Lin Xian, how much longer?"
The water has risen above everyone’s knees in the corridor. Chen Sixuan stands in the water, looking at the dark depths beneath her feet, and can’t help but frown.
"Almost there."
[Scanning progress 90%]
"Probably less than 10 minutes."
Lin Xian presses the communicator: "Everyone report your status."
"No issues here." Shu Qin Building responds, "But the water has already entered the elevator."
Shu Qin starts contacting in KIKI’s direction using the communicator: "KIKI, Director Ding, how are you?"
Crackle~
The communicator emits a burst of static noise.
In the subrsible’s pressure relief chamber, KIKI hears the static in her headset and imdiately sets down the subrsible, saying to Ding Junyi, "They must be calling us, let’s prepare to go back."
Ding Junyi looks at the already subrged research area and nods: "I’ll download the project log and study it later."
"I think it’s very clear what’s happening." KIKI’s face is grave, "This matter definitely ties back to the Foundation."
Gurgle gurgle~
The drainage port in the pressure relief chamber suddenly makes empty cannon noises, and nurous bubbles keep rising.
Suddenly, the ground trembles, and the water surface ripples.
Just as KIKI prepares to retreat, she suddenly sees a black branch-like creature slowly erging from the whirlpool at the drainage outlet, its body dripping wet, with a pair of terrifying eyes seemingly staring at the two of them.
"What the hell is that!"
KIKI instinctively reaches out and grabs, unleashing her superpower.
At the drainage port, a loud ripple ensues, and a mass of water is squeezed together, dragging the black creature from within. Yet unexpectedly, there’s a long serpent-like body connected underneath the creature, pulling out four to five ters and still not fully extracted.
Rumble, the trembling sound intensifies, and both KIKI and Ding Junyi realize sothing is off.
KIKI imdiately grabs a subrsible from above and hurls it at the creature’s body. With a boom, the serpent-like body begins to twist frantically, massive forces ripple through the water, smashing the glass in the pressure relief chamber. Suddenly, the ground starts to crack, crack crack!
Instantly, a colossal black head bursts through the ground, erging. The creature resembles so eerie sea serpent, with a row of lantern-like eyes on its forehead, crashes out. Half of its head occupies almost the entire pressure relief chamber, and simultaneously, massive amounts of black water gush forth!
KIKI is shocked; the monstrous black branch she just grabbed was rely a lure on this eerie serpent’s head, the branch already resembling a human shape, possessing facial features!
"Let’s go!"
In an instant, KIKI senses her telekinesis is unable to suppress the creature and imdiately takes Ding Junyi, swiftly flying towards the corridor.
Elsewhere, the building and Shu Qin, Lv Chang, also feel the tremors, as dust continually falls from the ceiling, light bulbs sway, and the water surface ripples.
Sensing the anomaly, the few people imdiately beco serious
"What happened?"
Swish swish swish!
Nurous water flows downward from the elevator shaft, the ninth floor lights start flickering and buzzing due to electrical issues.
The building stands atop a cabinet, holding a roaring Gatling gun vigilantly looking below: "Be careful, there’s sothing in the water."
Upon hearing this, Shu Qin looks down at the waist-deep murky water, and the next mont, her expression changes, letting out a muffled grunt, and directly falls back. She sees a black shadow appearing in the water in front of her, water waves break, and a soaking wet, black-haired Water Ghost suddenly lunges out. The Water Ghost has a human-shaped face of a fish, its large mouth full of red sharp teeth, covered in scales, appears extrely frightening.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
In an instant, teammates’ firepower is already supporting, Shu Qin dodges the lurking creature, flicks her wrist, and turns over to shoot at the direction where the Water Ghost fell.
Bang!
Number 10 Explosive Lead Bullet rapidly ejects, Demon Extinguishing Flas at the muzzle instantly evaporates the water surface ahead, splitting jets of projection completely shatter the Water Ghost’s lower half.
Water and blood splatter, erupting into a spray under the light!
Shu Qin’s gaze sweeps, the dying Water Ghost flees, dragging its shattered body quickly into the water.
She stomps her foot, quickly sprinting in the water, then bursts out, treading on a wall and leaps upward, directly jumping onto a high platform in a laboratory.
Just as she prepares to look for the creature’s figure, she suddenly discovers, countless swimming shadows under the water are already maneuvering around her teammates.
"Away from the water!"
Shu Qin shouts loudly, at this mont, the building standing on the cabinet also sees this terrifying scene. Woo~ The electric gun barrel in his hand rotates, woo! tal jets sweep out, triggering a splash, instantly blowing apart more than a dozen black Water Ghosts.
Hearing Shu Qin’s shout, teammates along the corridor acting as relays climb to higher ground away from the water.
Empty! Empty empty!
While the building is firing with all its might, a massive empty sound suddenly bursts from the elevator shaft behind him, like locusts passing through, ringing densely.
The row of elevator numbers on top also starts jumping uncontrollably, falling fiercely!
Ding, ding ding boom! The elevator crashes down, countless unknown creatures begin attacking the elevator door. The alloy elevator doors start bulging outward, the building and Shu Qin glance back, seeing the elevator doors covered in scratches and peculiar bulging from head bumps.
