Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 389: Enter The Base

Huala!

The sound of water coming from the lake attracted the attention of everyone on the shore. Lucy stood up and saw that it was Allen and the others who had emerged from the lake. She waved her hand and asked, "How is the situation?"

Alan gestured "Everything is going well" before he looked at Garner and said, "We have to get rid of the stones that are blocking us before we have a chance of getting in." josei

"But in water, explosives can't work."

"The cleaning can be done on me, but once the obstruction disappears, the water will certainly speed up and I can't fix myself in the pipe, with the help of Mr. Garner."

Garner nodded and said to Drew beside him, "Go get the rope and the picks."

A moment later, Fatty brought the tools he needed. Garner tied the rope to the picks and tied them around Allen's waist, leaving a few meters of rope between them. Garner pulled the rope and said, "I will fix it outside. Once the obstacle is removed, I will pull you out and wait for the flow of water to slow down before we move."

"Let's do this."

Thus, the three of them dived down again and arrived at the bottom of the lake. Garner stabbed the pick into the bottom of the lake, stepped on it, and gestured to Alan. Alan swam into the exhaust pipe. Without Qianjun on him, he could only bring out the devil's praise. With a thought, Origin Energy began to rumble in his veins. A ray of light lit up at the edge of the demon's praise. Alan drew horizontally and smoothly drew a flaming breath with his dagger.

Flame Breath's speed in the water wasn't much slower than the ground. However, due to the dagger, the orange light was only half of what it usually was. However, in this exhaust pipe, it was good to see that the beam of light instantly submerged into the rubble blocking the passage. A red mark appeared on the stone pile. Many bubbles appeared in the vicinity of the high temperature, and the noise of the stone cracking could be heard from inside.

Seeing that the attack had worked, Allen waved his dagger and released four or five flames in one breath. The flickering rays overlapped, forming a grid-shaped mark on the pile of stones. As large pieces of rock were shredded and disintegrated by the flames, the pile of rocks began to buzz. Ellen swam away, stretched out his foot and kicked, causing a loud rumble. As he leaked the rubble behind the pipe, the current intensified, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a huge suction force.

Garner, who was outside, suddenly saw the rope at his waist being pulled straight. Then, he noticed that the flow of water around him had slowed down. When Drew saw this, he looked at Garner and chopped down on the rope. Garner hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and pulling the rope back. Drew made a helpless expression and also grabbed the rope and pulled it back. However, the suction force in the exhaust pipe did not decrease. In an instant, a loud rumble sounded, and Alan's expression changed. Every second, his body was being squeezed and washed away by the terrifying pressure of the current. Under the suction force, the rope tied around his waist was tightened, causing him to suspect that it would be cut into two in the next moment.

Ellen saw that Garner and the others couldn't pull him out of the pipe smoothly. He gritted his teeth and cut the rope with his dagger. Immediately, he brought the water into the depths of the pipe. Alan shrank his body and hugged his head to reduce the impact area. At the same time, the Origin Energy was evenly distributed around his body, forming a protective force field. In an instant, he didn't know how many meters he was sent flying.

Beneath the lake, Garner and the others suddenly felt the weight on the other side disappear, and the rope was no longer taut. Garner quickly pulled back the rope and found that the other end had been cut off. The cut of the rope was very smooth. It looked like Allen should have cut the rope on his own initiative. Garner pointed upwards, floating out of the water with the fatty and swimming back to the shore.

Seeing the two of them return, Lucy jumped up and asked, "Where's Alan?"

"Mr. Allen cut the rope by himself. I'm afraid he has already entered the ruins." Garner handed the rope to Lucy.

Lucy looked and threw the rope away, ready to go into the water. Garner called to her, "Now that the obstacle has just been cleared, the space for the water to pass through has suddenly grown so large that the water is running too fast. I don't think it's a good time to get into the water. It's not too late to wait for the water to buffer for a while. As for Mr. Allen, I don't think there's anything to worry about. He should be able to protect himself since he took the initiative to cut the ropes."

"That's just your wishful thinking!" Said Lucy. Although Alan cut the rope, he was washed into the base by the turbulent water. God knows what would happen. She was worried about Alan's safety, so how could she wait on the shore until the current slowed down before descending into the lake?

Belmond shook his body and stood in front of Lucy. Lucy held the hilt of the golden rose in her hand. "Are you going to stop me too?"

"I just feel that if the boss is here, he doesn't want you to take risks so easily."

Lucy made her move, and then her eyes gradually softened. Without saying a word, she loosened the hilt of her gun and found a withered tree trunk to sit on. Belmond exhaled and looked at Garner. He didn't say anything, only an extremely calm smile hanging on his lips. However, this smile stabbed Garner like a needle. Looking at the others, Garner suddenly understood that if something happened to Alan, these people would not let it go.

They ignored the rope, whether Alan had taken the initiative to cut it off or not.

Allen felt like a stone that had been thrown into the river. The river was swift and turbulent a few years ago. He could not help but drift along with the water, and he didn't know how many times he had smashed into the pipe. The exhaust pipe twists and turns, and every turn is a test of Allen's strength. At this moment, he felt that the blood energy that the demonic praise had sucked from the giant beast was working.

The blood energy that had flowed into his body had not only recovered the exhausted Origin Energy, but also carried with it some qualities of a giant beast. For example, toughness increased Allen's physical strength by a lot. At the very least, Allen did not lose consciousness during the scouring of the lake and the collision of the pipes.

Without knowing where he had been washed away by the water, Alan suddenly felt his body lighten. He abruptly stretched out his body, his hands and feet stretched out, and a burst of Origin Energy erupted, counteracting the force of the impact and draining away a lot of water from his body. Alan saw himself in midair, ahead of him was the exit of the exhaust pipe. The place where the fence should have been erected had long since become empty, and the lake water had fallen like a waterfall.

Alan began to fall. He tried his best to soften himself and relax. The moment he landed on the ground, he took the initiative to roll forward, removing the force of the impact. A moment later, he stood up, his entire body emitting bursts of stinging pain, and his Origin Energy had been consumed quite a bit. He didn't rush to explore and found a corner to sit down. Consciously activate the Origin Energy to allow it to flow through the blood vessels. Every time he completed a cycle, his Origin Energy would recover a bit.

After half an hour of meditation, Alan only felt that his Origin Energy had recovered by half before he stood up.

It was not pitch black here, and one could see that on a rusted metal wall, some unknown pipes twisted and twisted. There were a few circular glowing bodies embedded in it. It was unknown what kind of material they were made of. They emitted a faint light in the dim environment, making this sealed space like a star so that it could not be invisible.

Alan scanned his surroundings with the light on the walls. It was like some sort of compartment, where the lake water flowing down the exhaust pipe turned into a small waterfall and poured into a sewer below. The water level in the sewer was almost equal to the ground, but no matter how much water was poured into the lake, it did not overflow. This means that there is another drainage system in the sewer and the lake water must be discharged elsewhere.

The ground was also covered with metal plates, but in the middle was a layer of barbed wire. Alan walked around, and some of the barbed wire had broken, exposing the thick cables below. They were buried side by side in grooves, and from time to time one or two of the cables lit up and then extinguished.

Allen was surprised. It looked like the base's energy system was still working. Extending along these cables was an open door. On the left side of the door, an automatic door that hadn't been completely retracted into the wall blocked a small half of the space, revealing a gap that only one person could pass through. Alan crawled out of the gap in the door. Outside was a far-reaching corridor that stretched to the left and right.

Even though the walls on both sides of the corridor were also emitting faint light, four to five meters away, it was convenient to shroud in darkness. Occasionally, one or two dots of light would flash. Apart from that, there was nothing else to illuminate.

The atmosphere in the entire space was filled with a sense of humidity, which made Ellen a little uncomfortable. Before he could even figure out which way to go, a strange sound suddenly sounded from the left.

Hiss--

Alan immediately looked at the sound of something sharp gently scratching through the wall. In the dim corridor, a few dots of fluorescence lit up. Something flashed in the faint light.

Alan immediately held the devil's praise in his hand. Obviously, the base was not completely silent. He cautiously touched the corridor where the strange noise came from. In this quiet environment, he relaxed his footsteps, but he still stepped on the sound of lonely footsteps in the corridor. Alan walked against the wall, so that even if there were any creatures in the base, they wouldn't be pinched back and forth.

The corridor quickly turned into a fork that extended to the left. In the dim light over there, Alan saw another suspicious shadow flashing by. He looked in the direction where he had come from and thought to himself that everyone on the shore should not have come down so quickly. He might as well take a look at what it was. Thus, he stepped into the fork road. At the end of the fork road was an open door. The space inside seemed to be quite large, and a cool breeze was sent out from the door.

Ellen took a deep breath, held the dagger in his hand, and assumed a posture that he could fight at any time. Then, he crossed the door and entered. Unexpectedly, he stepped on something the moment he entered the door. Alan immediately jumped up and moved, and when he landed on the ground, he looked ahead. There was a faint glow on the nearby wall, exposing a terrifying face to Alan. The muscles on his face had already shrunk, leaving only his skin dry and sticking to his skull. His two empty eyes were pointing straight at Allen, causing him to jump in fright.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew from behind him!
