He directly stated his viewpoint, but stopped abruptly before finishing, eyes slightly narrowed.

"Wait." Lin Xian looked at Ding Junyi: "What was the last thing you said?"

Ding Junyi adjusted her glasses: "I said, the situation we’re encountering is the same as what they will face." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Lin Xian’s expression changed sharply upon hearing this, suddenly realizing something, and said:

"Smart, Director Ding!"

After speaking, he ran directly out of the compartment.

Watching Lin Xian’s back, Ding Junyi smiled inexplicably, then followed him off the vehicle, heading toward the monitoring hall of the submarine base with Lin Xian all the way.

At this time, in the monitoring hall, KIKI and others had already scheduled all the monitors deployed at the energy release valve. The seawater was dark and turbid, but on the biological radar’s monitoring screen, a number of various sizes of red dots could be seen moving around.

"Lin Xian!"

Upon seeing Lin Xian arrive, KIKI immediately called out to him: "The control valve for the energy release can be operated anytime now."

"The stability axis of the Deep 3 Earth Core Heat Induction Device has already shifted. This is caused by the geothermal well magma exceeding the danger level; judging by the situation, we have less than 12 hours." At this moment, Ryan also stood inside the monitoring hall, Vanessa beside him. In addition to this, other key members of the Hawk Sea Group were outside, unloading supplies and the remaining weapon equipment from the Sea Group.

The submarine base suddenly became quite bustling; among the hundreds in the Hawk Sea Group, there were many children and women, and even a mecha squad built by Azir and the mechanical engineers within the team. Many people disabled in disasters were equipped with mechanical prosthetics to enhance mobility.

"We need to quickly open the release valve; perhaps it can provide some relief."

Lin Xian nodded, seeing Qian Deli and Shu Qin were present, without stopping, he directly said to KIKI: "Open it now, KIKI, Ryan, you keep an eye on it, I’ll go down to have a look."

Unexpectedly, Lin Xian didn’t seem to care about opening the release valve, hurriedly stepping toward the deep water port below the submarine base. KIKI looked bewildered, wanting to stop Lin Xian, then seeing Ding Junyi following behind him, withheld his words, and sat down, beginning the release of energy through the control system.

"Lin?" Ryan pressed down his sunglasses, seeming a bit perplexed at this moment.

"We’re initiating it directly; he has something else to handle." KIKI, without hesitation, remotely initiated the opening of the underwater energy release gate.

Boom!

As KIKI’s fingertips swept across the console holographic interface, far beneath the Sea Rock Island southeast of the Chasan Island waters, a sudden mechanical tremor echoed out. The dim energy release gate beneath the vortex creature’s body and the seabed was being torn open by orange-red cracks.

The diameter of several meters of the alloy gate burst under hydraulic screeching, the accumulated geothermal core energy gushed out in molten gold torrents, immediately vaporizing the surrounding seawater. Expanding bubble clouds swept over the cliff like a nuclear explosion, the radiation readings skyrocketed instantly, and half of the vortex creature’s body and large numbers of surrounding Abnormal Body corpses were incinerated and melted, erupting in gray-brown seabed dust!

The nuclear energy flow impacted the seabed, forming a radial dust storm. Orange-red light penetrated the dark waters, illuminating tens of thousands of sea worms in the vortex. At this moment, a hundred-meter-high steam column suddenly soared along the Chasan Island coast, the boiling seawater dragging the charred bodies of Abnormal Bodies onto the reefs. In the submarine base, the people could only see a pure white glare in the monitoring, with no visual signal at all.

"Look quickly!"

Shu Qin behind KIKI pointed to the radar monitoring screen, only to see the previously scattered red dots on the screen appearing to be attracted by something, beginning to cluster rapidly towards the radar center. The number of red dots on the detection screen increased dramatically, the onlookers’ expressions changed drastically, and within less than a minute, the radar screen was densely packed with countless red dots.

Sha Sha looked at the dots on the radar screen and then at the bleached glare on the monitoring screen, frowning slightly, just about to say something, when suddenly there was a lagging frame flash on the monitoring screen, revealing a terrifying giant eye, startling many present people.

"Wow, such a big eye, this is definitely a Special Level creature." Lv Chang cursed outrightly.

Ryan and Vanessa exchanged a glance and folded their arms, saying: "Just like the previous experimental scenario, as long as it’s activated, the monster will be attracted."

Qian Deli came over, unable to help but frown and said: "Couldn’t your luring agent be derived from this thing?"

"Sort of." Vanessa nodded: "But this thing can’t be used directly; before the Tongshi Device was invented, nuclear radiation and dark energy without specific materials were basically marker bombs."

"No wonder."

KIKI, monitoring the screen at this moment, tapped his fingers and somewhat relieved, said: "Good news, it is indeed effective, the device’s stability has declined, though little, but at this release rate, we can gain some time."

"Tonight?" Vanessa asked.

KIKI shrugged: "Tonight we shouldn’t worry about the volcano yet." She tapped the keyboard, calling up the radar images around the base, at this moment around the Island, it was clearly a terrifying scenario of Abnormal Bodies gathering.

"Let’s think about how to face these first, it’s not dark yet, maybe there are even scarier ones not out yet."

Everyone watching the monitoring screen drew a sharp breath.

"My god, so many, it’s almost like the siege of Dawn City." Sha Sha’s face was very unpleasant.
