Sheyan and Sanzi stepped into the core zone of the prison where the dangerous criminals were kept. The zone was built in a "?" shape, with a rectangular corridor. There was only one entrance, and anyone who wished to enter or leave the zone must pass through the entrance. It was now the zone's last line of defence.
Sheyan and Sanzi were forced back by at least a dozen guns as soon as they appeared. Of course, bullets were not a strong threat to Sheyan, but the three taser gun shots mixed within were something to be wary of.
The destructive power of the taser gun was already devastating on its own, but what's more frightening was the paralysis effect! If Sheyan was hit by one, he would have to brace himself to get hit by 7 more! That kind of damage was unbearable even for someone like Sheyan who had monstrous vitality. His life may very well be put in danger.
And our dear Mr. Nicholas somehow had the privilege to be placed in this core zone. Sheyan could not help but wonder if Mr. Nicholas had molested the daughter of a senator. Why else would he receive this kind of special treatment?
"You're not going to use your diseases?" asked Sanzi while giving him a puzzled look.
Sheyan shook his head. "If I use my 'Pestilence Monarch' on ordinary people, its infectious nature will likely lead to terrible consequences. Thousands of casualties may occur. Normally, I might not care, but right now, I have to think twice."
Sheyan may have his worries, but he was not unprepared for this terrible situation. He squatted down and pulled out a green plant in a flowerpot next to him. He then dug a pit in the pot and buried several bottles of genetical-extract mixes in it before he poured a bottle of a specially-prepared nutrient solution inside.
That's right, Sheyan had already anticipated this situation, so the grown creatures from the Lord of the Rings world would crawl out of the soil and provide them with powerful reinforcement!
An indescribable breath permeated through the air. A large number of tentacles extended out of the soil to grab tightly to the edge of the pot, then began to spread to the surroundings. A terrifying throbbing could be felt in the air, as if something was resonating with the inner organs of every human present!
Then, a large amount of foaming mucus shot out of the flowerpot. The white foam quickly condensed into the form of an egg that was two meters tall, then cracked rapidly. A creature that was a mix between a lizardman and a frogman emerged from it. It bared its sharp teeth menacingly. A fierce glint could be seen in its two blister-like eyes.
The creature was holding a twisted vine in the form of a magic staff, but its sharp, strange-looking claws and cruel, uneven teeth showed that it was by no means purely a mage-type creature that knew nothing about melee battles.
"Master," The grown creature bowed slightly to Sheyan and said, "Your wish is my command."
Sheyan pointed to the prison officers who were stubbornly resisting on the opposite side and ordered the creature, "Once I'm ready, help me clean up these pests."
With the help of the grown creature, they were like demolition workers, dismantling all the cell doors close to them and throwing the dismantled doors into the corridor, effectively creating several shelters and obstacles to hide behind. The prison officers across the room howled furiously.
Seeing Sheyan's intentions, several brave officers tried to run out and remove the obstacles, but Sheyan's grown creature showed its might. It stretched its neck and its tongue suddenly extended out. The tongue only reached as far as five or six meters away, but the poison secreted from the tongue shot forth and hit the back of an officer!
This poison was a little strange. After it hit the target, as if it was mercury, it split up and splashed towards the surroundings, staining the few officers to the side. Smoke immediately rose from where the poison touched those officers. They fell down to the ground and rolled around in pain.
This was the special ability of this monster developed by Sheyan: 'Tongue Poison Bullets'! A high-speed ejection of highly corrosive poison using its frog-like tongue! Once the poison hit the target, it would split and inflict damage to nearby enemies!
Perhaps the grown creature's attack was of little use against contestants, but it was a frightening weapon when used against the average storyline character.
In the midst of the chaos, Sheyan rushed out while carrying a desk which functioned as his shield. The bullets smashing into the table sent sawdust flying everywhere, but the taser guns were rendered useless against its insulation property. defense. It wasn't until Sheyan was halfway there that a few people fired electric shots at the ground in front of Sheyan and used the AoE electrical shockwaves to force Sheyan back.
But this charge of Sheyan's was merely a feint! His purpose was to attract the officers' firepower. The real killing move was Sheyan's grown creature! It had the terrifying jumping power of a frog with its sturdy thighs, and could jump seven to eight meters with each leap. By the time it was noticed by the prison officers, it had already jumped behind the nearest "bunker" in the corridor and sent a 'Tongue Poison Bullet' into the crowd!
Seven people or so fell to the ground and groaned in agony. They felt as if they were splashed with highly corrosive acid. Even the sturdiest person could not aim their gun in that kind of situation.
And that wasn't even the most horrible thing. The grown creature took advantage of the chaos to once again bend his strong thighs and leap forward. It landed right in the middle of the prison officers who were still trying their best to put up a resistance.
As soon as it landed, it shattered the staff it was holding. A large amount of white foam instantly occupied the whole area.Then, the creature began to wantonly kill with its fangs and claws. Screams followed one after another.
A prison officer in despair aimed his taser gun at the grown creature and pulled the trigger. He neglected one tiny thing. At that moment, the surrounding was almost entirely covered by the wet foam. The consequence of his electric shock was total annihilation…of the humans!
Sheyan shrugged innocently while he stared at the convulsing prison officers.
"Don't blame me, my friends. It's your colleague's fault."
Next, Sheyan started to move towards the core area of the dangerous criminals zone. It was actually pretty cool to see all those prison officers drop down in front of him.
It was evident that the government were extremely wary of the prisoners here. As soon as the first blackout occurred, the prison officers in this zone were already on high alert and had drove all the prisoners back into their cells. And when the second blackout occurred, the officers activated the emergency system…
The result of this was, if Sheyan wanted to continue into the core area of the dangerous criminals zone, he would have to go through a steel door that was armed to the teeth with dangerous weapons! As soon as Sheyan pressed his hand on the door, he knew that brute force could not solve this problem. Similarly, tearing down the wall would not work here either -- there was a steel layer inside the walls!
However, although Sheyan's face was gloomy, he truly believed that there must be someone who could help him solve this problem among the prison officers who were still alive.
After brutally killing five prison officers, the administrator in this area - the other deputy warden - was sold out by his colleagues. Under the threat of death, he could only choose to obey.
For some reason, Sheyan kept feeling that there was a hint of mockery in the deputy warden's eyes. Although it was hidden deep, Sheyan still caught signs of it. It made him feel very uncomfortable.
Sheyan brought the deputy warden in front of the final obstacle and gave him a cold stare. The deputy warden placed his head in front of the door for a retina scan, thus opening the first lock, then undid the second lock with his fingerprint. Finally, he extended his hand and carefully placed something in his palm.
The object had a rhombic polycrystalline shape and was constructed in a very strange way. It looked a little like a maple leaf built from ice crystals, but it was black in colour. Based on its appearance, one might think that it was a work of art, or an unknown crystal, or a product of a scientific experiment. No one would think that it was a key.
But it really was a key.
Its only purpose was to open a door.
The deputy warden held the key that was gleaming like a black diamond in his palm, but instead of approaching the lock, he pressed a big red warning button at the side! This button looked terribly similar to the kind of warning button in banks that were prepared in case of robbery!
Seeing this, Sheyan surprisingly did not stop the deputy warden. He merely put his mouth close to the deputy warden's ear and reminded him, "If you dare to play tricks on me, I'll kill everyone here!"
The deputy warden shrugged and gestured for Sheyan to step back.
"There's no need to remind me, sir. I cherish my life very much."
Following that, two red beams of light came out from the left and right of the gate. The deputy warden slowly lifted the "key" in his palm and let the two red beams shine on it. The red beams illuminated the interior of the "key" and numerous tiny crystals could instantly be seen inside. The beams ran rampant inside the key as they reflected off the tiny crystals in succession, and finally shot out from the front!
At first, the light scattered from between the deputy warden's fingers and turned into a very beautiful rain of light. Then, with the adjustment of the angle, they gradually condensed into one beam of light, which penetrated into the keyhole!
