Chapter 1206: Breaking Through

Ying Fu’s gaze swept across the surroundings, and he spoke indifferently:

"Where are those guests?"

"This is a restricted area! Any further, and we will open fire!!" No one answered Ying Fu’s question. Following the order of a figure who looked like the captain, the dozen or so people around simultaneously pulled their triggers!

But the next moment,

They stared at the smooth bananas in their hands, frozen in place.

The figure in the bright red opera robe raised his hand casually, and a giant red paper python darted out from his sleeve, grabbed a person nearby, and dragged him to his front. A hint of red blush slowly appeared at the corner of his eyes.

[Painting the Vermilion Face].

After scanning the memory fragments of that person, Chen Ling spoke calmly:

"Not in the hotel, they are underground."

Ying Fu snorted coldly, and a surging imperial pressure swept out from his body. Without any skills, just by relying on this inherent deterrent force, he knocked all the bewildered figures around him unconscious, one after another falling backward like withered grass in the wind.

Chen Ling stepped forward, relying on the images he had just seen in the other person’s life fragments, and arrived before two silent elevator doors.

*Snap—*

Chen Ling snapped his fingers, and the elevator buttons lit up automatically. Both elevators opened their doors at the same time.

"Which one?" Ying Fu asked.

"Don't know, they should be the same."

As he spoke, Chen Ling walked into the elevator closest to him. "Squeeze in?"

Ying Fu glanced at him and walked into the other elevator without hesitation, seemingly disgusted by the idea of being in a confined space with Chen Ling. Seeing this, Chen Ling couldn't be bothered to say more and snapped his fingers again, closing both elevator doors simultaneously.

*Hum, hum, hum—*

The two emperors took separate elevators, sinking into the ground at the same time.

……

"Sun Zhongliang!! We came to the meeting because we trusted the 749 Bureau, and you actually plotted against us?"

"...My daughter's birthday is in two days! And you're telling me now that a nuclear war is about to break out? And you want me to just hide underground like this??"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have accepted the invitation to this conference! I’m telling you, Sun Zhongliang, I’m not afraid of death!! But I want to face life and death with my wife and parents!!"

"Sun Zhongliang, you have disappointed us too much!"

“……”

After Sun Zhongliang finished speaking, several guests stood up in anger, pointing at his nose and cursing. But most people fell silent after hearing him.

Sun Zhongliang’s words had too great an impact on them. Most people didn't know whether to feel fortunate or sad... They looked blankly at the dim, narrow walls around them, seemingly unable to imagine that they would have to live here for a long time to come.

As the mastermind behind it all, Sun Zhongliang just stood in the middle quietly. Facing the curses and questions of the crowd, he appeared extremely calm, as if he had long been prepared to be the target of public criticism...

Just then, a staff member hurried to his ear:

"Director, just now, the red warning light on the surface lit up... And the elevators were activated without any authorization and are heading here."

Sun Zhongliang’s brow furrowed slightly.

He hadn't expected this situation. Knowing that Wushan Town had already suffered two rounds of nuclear strikes, who else could force their way into the 7012 Underground Project at this time?

"Stop them, initiate Level 1 alert." Sun Zhongliang ordered decisively.

"Yes!"

……

*Ring-a-ling-ling—*

A piercing alarm sounded, and the elevator, which was constantly sinking, seemed to have its power supply cut off, freezing in place with a *clang*!

The red warning light flashed wildly in the cabin, illuminating Chen Ling’s face in the darkness with a blood-red hue. He looked at the powerless elevator with slight surprise and muttered to himself:

"Have I been discovered..."

The elevator stalled, and the only path to the underground was controlled. The two emperors were trapped deep underground, with nothing but steel cabins and thick layers of soil around them.

In the elevator on the other side, Ying Fu glanced at the floor beneath his feet and coldly spat out two words:

"...Ridiculous."

The next second.

Two identical bursts of electric light erupted at the bottom of the elevators!

[Reshape]!

The thick, enclosed bottoms of the elevators were directly breached, creating two large holes. The red and black figures gave up on the elevators and plummeted rapidly down the dim elevator shaft like two meteorites!

The red warning lights flashed wildly in the dim shaft. The two figures traveled through their respective shafts, and after descending an unknown distance, the pitch-black bottom of the shaft rapidly magnified in their eyes!

*Boom—!!!*

A roar like a cannonball hitting the ground echoed throughout the underground project, startling the dozen or so figures already guarding the elevator entrance.

They nervously held their guns, watching the two tightly closed elevator doors, unable to help but swallow their saliva. An inexplicable sense of fear climbed into their hearts...

One second, two seconds...

*Bang—!!*

The two closed elevator doors were blown into fragments from inside the shaft.

Exploding metal debris flew through the stone corridor, and rolling dust surged out from the shaft...

Almost simultaneously, all guns opened fire. The spitting flames illuminated the narrow corridor as if it were a runway filled with flashing camera lights.

From all directions, with no blind spots, a dense wave of bullets surged toward the two dark gaps. But as the dust swirled, two dark shadows walked slowly forward under the flickering glare of the gunfire.

Tentacle-like red paper extended from the smoke and dust, easily deflecting all the bullets. The figure on the other side seemed to turn into ink, letting the bullets pass through his chest without leaving a single trace...

"You were slow."

"I was not."

"You were half a second slower than me. Even if you don't admit it, facts are facts."

"Chen Ling, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

The two seemed to ignore the dense hail of bullets, speaking coldly, their killing intent almost visibly permeating the air... Of course, the target of their killing intent was not the group of people in front of them.

Ying Fu seemed to be in a very bad mood. He waved his arm, and purple lightning swept across like a long whip, directly knocking all the figures blocking the stone corridor to the ground.

The two walked forward alone along the sides of the stone corridor, as if an abyss that would kill anyone who approached separated them.

"Is the 749 Bureau’s security really this weak?" Chen Ling looked at the mess on the ground and asked with some confusion. "Coming in this way was a bit too easy..."

"In this era, your strength and mine are already at the peak. You overestimate them too much."

"Oh?"

Chen Ling seemed to notice something and suddenly stopped. "No... it’s you who underestimate them."

Chen Ling’s palm slowly reached forward. In the air, a void wall that seemed to flow with the River of the Underworld directly blocked his palm. No matter how hard Chen Ling pushed, he couldn't pass through.

Ying Fu also carefully examined the barrier in front of him, a faint glimmer flashing in his eyes.

"Something from the Ancient Treasury of the Ghost Path... Interesting."
