Si Mawan: "Huh? The ones outside with Tang Shuying..."
"Fake! It must be fake!"
"What else? Go chase him? Are you sure there aren’t more and more vicious traps ahead? Only going back the way we came is the safest."
Si Mawan hummed, no longer arguing.
A powerful surge of information flow spread out.
Lin Wang’s impotent roar echoed far through the corridor in the pit.
This time, on his way back, he encountered an Information Flow Interference Bomb buried underground.
This caused a significant drop in the control of his equipment, and Si Mawan’s miniature intelligent troops were even more severely damaged, with control performance dropping by at least 50%.
After the ground exploded, Lin Wang didn’t find a triggered fuse, so this bomb could only have been remote-detonated.
But this is a deserted mine pit, electromagnetic communication is completely blocked, Ren Zhong couldn’t have acquired a Ghost Communication Device, so why was the timing of the interference bomb’s detonation so precise, exploding just a second after he passed it?
After his anger subsided, Lin Wang slowly turned his head to look at Si Mawan and asked sorrowfully, "Did you betray me too?"
Si Mawan shook her head repeatedly, "How could I! Am I crazy!"
Lin Wang angrily pointed at the remnants of the Information Flow Interference Bomb on the ground, "Then how was this detonated?"
Si Mawan shook her head with a more confused expression than his, "I don’t know, I really don’t know, I truly don’t know."
After a long while, Lin Wang waved his hand listlessly, "Forget it, continue forward."
If Lin Wang knew that the real detonation method of this bomb was a timed fuse, he would only feel more terrified.
Not long after, Lin Wang and Si Mawan encountered a magnetic dust Blast Trap again.
Lin Wang no longer shouted.
He was just made to shudder by Ren Zhong’s insidiousness.
He never imagined that the path everyone walked before was so perilous, full of hidden dangers.
And all of this was Ren Zhong’s handiwork.
He once again fell into a logical dilemma.
Should he continue on the original path back?
Is the entire route taken before ?
Should I change the route?
But could there be even more vicious traps on the changed route?
He felt as if there were a pair of invisible large eyes watching him from behind, and his every move could not escape that gaze.
He began to hesitate, worrying about every move.
But in the end, he still chose to retrace his steps.
He started to try and predict Ren Zhong’s predictions.
Ren Zhong couldn’t have filled the entire abandoned pit with traps; they must be densely concentrated on one path.
Ren Zhong must think I will change routes, but I won’t fall for it again.
This is the last one for sure, behind it will be smooth sailing.
This time must be the last one!
This time definitely...
Approximately an hour and a half later, Lin Wang and Si Mawan finally reached a point just two kilometers from the exit.
The whole journey was fraught with explosions, various insidious traps endlessly emerging.
He triggered all the traps Ren Zhong left, missing none.
All the automatic response equipment on his body was depleted repeatedly, with conspicuous and concealed damage accumulating on his armor.
Si Mawan was also injured, struggling to hold on.
"Let’s stop here for now."
Standing at a Y-junction, Lin Wang fell into deep thought.
From here, turning left is the original return route, the nearest one.
Turning right leads to another exit, slightly farther.
"Captain, what’s wrong?"
Lin Wang: "Let’s split up here. You go back on the original route, and I’ll take the other way."
"Perhaps there really are people like Tang Shuying guarding outside. If we both appear together, they will certainly attack with full force first thing, and I won’t be able to protect you then. If you go out alone, you’re a Demolition Master; as long as you surrender and defect in time, you naturally have a chance to survive. As for me, even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If I’m just protecting myself alone, determined to escape, they can’t keep me."
Si Mawan’s lips trembled, she wanted to say something, but finally, she agreed helplessly, "Okay, Captain."
Thus, the two parted ways.
Lin Wang walked out 500 meters.
This time, he finally didn’t encounter any new traps.
He arrived at a relatively spacious cavern.
This was once the nest of a large Level Four Ruined Beast.
Lin Wang suddenly stopped, looked upwards, and squeezed two words through clenched teeth.
In front, Ren Zhong stood with a knife in his hands, a deep smile on his face, looking at the bedraggled Lin Wang.
"Captain, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
The next instant, fierce battle flames ignited.
The vast cavern was instantly engulfed by spreading flames and electric currents.
