“Retreat, abandon immediately!”
As the two mental-type Martial Artists were instantly killed, Dr. Tang's short and heavy voice came through the communicator.
Everyone quickly went to the nearby Elevator 2. Under the control of the control room, the elevator rapidly ascended.
At this moment, Xuan Hao climbed out of Elevator Shaft 1.
“You can't escape.”
He punched the alloy door of Elevator 2. With a "boom," the door shattered.
Xuan Hao jumped into the elevator shaft. Looking at the gradually disappearing elevator car, he pushed off with both feet, and his entire body flew upwards.
But this was far from enough.
During the climb, his body gradually twisted.
The flesh on his hands and feet squirmed like an animal, transforming to be better suited for climbing.
Inside the elevator car, everyone was sweating profusely.
Although the elevator was ascending, the sound of the BOSS climbing was getting closer and closer.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The noise of the elevator ascending was very loud.
Yet, everyone still heard the enormous commotion caused by the BOSS's rapid climb, like a death knell!
“He's here!”
Someone clenched their fist.
“Boom—!!!”
A vibration came from the bottom of the elevator.
Although they didn't see it, they could already imagine the BOSS hanging from the bottom of the elevator.
“Boom!”
The metallic roar was deafening.
A twisted claw broke through the bottom of the elevator, tearing open a terrifying hole!
Xuan Hao's despairingly robust Physical Body, like a demon god crawling out of Hell, emerged from the hole.
Everyone instantly despaired.
Slaughter erupted within the narrow elevator car.
Without any resistance, in the face of absolute power, skill and courage lost all meaning.
Blood smeared the cold inner walls.
Soon, the elevator car completely quieted down.
Xuan Hao looked at the camera in the top corner, and a detached voice rang out:
“Among you warriors protecting the Doctor, is there anyone… willing to step forward?”
Xuan Hao grinned, smiling very happily:
“As long as the Doctor is killed, I will let him leave here alive. There is only one spot.”
“Who wants to be this lucky person?”
....
Inside the monitoring room.
On the huge screen, a bizarre smile entered everyone's view.
Rose couldn't help but let out a cold snort: “Inciting us to kill each other… worthy of a highly intelligent BOSS-level creature.”
Behind her, several guards had extremely firm gazes.
Those assigned to protect the Doctor were all warriors with wills of steel.
The Doctor merely smiled faintly and said:
“Its proposal is actually not unacceptable, Rose. If… I mean if, it truly comes to the last moment, when there are no other options…”
He looked up at the loyal guards before him:
“You can choose to kill me.”
“Exchanging my life for a chance to survive and fight against the Outer Gods is not a bad choice.”
“Doctor!” Rose said in a deep voice, “Do you not believe in our loyalty and ability?”
The Doctor shook his head, his tone completely unperturbed:
“No, Rose, I trust you very much, and I believe in your loyalty and ability.”
“But… this is war.”
“What we are fighting against are Outer Gods far beyond human comprehension, overturning rules. Sacrifice is inevitable. Long Er and the others can sacrifice themselves…”
He pointed to the monitor screen, his voice lowering:
“And so can I.”
“A living warrior is more valuable in the future than a dead Doctor.”
“Doctor….”
Before Rose could finish, the Doctor waved his hand:
“Of course, it's not the most desperate moment yet, so I certainly won't choose to sacrifice myself.”
“What should we do now?” Rose asked.
The Doctor stared at the screen, at the bizarre figure:
“Send the elevator to the weapons floor!”
“Understood!”
Rose immediately carried out the order, giving instructions through the communicator: “Control Center, lock onto the target elevator car, go to -19th floor.”
....
Inside the elevator, the door slowly opened.
Xuan Hao didn't care, slowly walking out of the elevator:
“Is this the cage you specially prepared for me? But this cage also traps you, doesn't it?”
Stepping out of the elevator, the view suddenly opened up.
It was a huge, empty metal hall.
Xuan Hao casually glanced around. The walls and even the ground gleamed with a metallic luster.
Suddenly, square small doors popped open on the surrounding walls, and muzzles extended out one by one. Dense red dots landed on him.
The next second!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Countless extremely dazzling energy beams, containing terrifying high temperatures, shot out, completely covering Xuan Hao.
No blind spots!
Nowhere to avoid, nowhere to dodge!
Under the destructive energy impact, space seemed to twist in the high temperature, and blinding light engulfed Xuan Hao's robust Physical Body!
“Puff!”
“Puff!”
There was no explosion sound, but rather the sizzling of flesh evaporating and being scorched!
Of course, there was also a huge impact force.
Xuan Hao's body shook violently, constantly retreating.
But even so, these energy beams could not directly destroy him.
In addition to his powerful Physical Body, as Xuan Hao let out a low roar, a violent Qi current erupted from his body.
The massive energy and Qi current collided, both constantly dissolving.
But the energy from the muzzles was endless.
In contrast, Xuan Hao's Qi in his body was gradually being drained.
“Boom!”
The energy beams landed on his body, blasting out terrifying charred holes the size of bowls!
No blood flowed, but was instantly vaporized by the high temperature.
His arm was pierced, his chest was pierced….
Xuan Hao endured for half a minute.
The next second, the energy beams stopped.
Xuan Hao chuckled softly, then committed suicide, his body slumping down.
The hall fell into complete silence.
Inside the monitoring room, it was equally quiet.
Rose stared at the screen, not relaxing in the slightest.
There were no personnel on this floor, so could the BOSS still possess someone?
After a moment of thought, the Doctor's voice was without a ripple, “Bring all real-time surveillance of floors with human activity to the main screen.”
“Understood!”
Rose's voice held a hint of trembling.
She suppressed the turmoil in her heart, her fingers flying across the control panel.
The screen was divided, and views were successively brought before the Doctor.
“-13th floor has the Martial Artist teams “Mouse” and “Green Snake” stationed. -9th floor has Martial Artists Long Qi, Long Jiu, Long Shi Er. -6th floor….” Rose quickly introduced the current information.
She paused, then added:
“There are also guards in the main hall.”
“Good.” The Doctor nodded.
The Doctor picked up the microphone next to him, his voice spreading through the broadcast to all floors of the entire base:
“Corpse Disassembly Immortal, interested in making a deal?”
