Chapter 12 Desperate Escape

Tiro strode forward, stripping two beam guns and several magnetic blast bombs from the bodies of the dead prison soldiers, throwing them to Su Mo and Mondox respectively.

After taking the weapons, they ran towards the floating platform.

"The power lines nearby have been cut off, can the floating platform still be used?"

Su Mo asked with some concern.

"No problem, emergency measures such as the lift platform have dedicated backup lines, which can't be cut off. Don't worry about that."

Tiro replied with certainty.

A moment later, just as Su Mo and the others approached the floating platform and ran to the corner, Tiro suddenly retreated, pulling back Longke, who almost rushed out.

"What's the situation?"

Su Mo asked in a low voice.

"There are two third-generation Puppet Mechs—Hyenas."

Tiro said in a low voice.

Su Mo stuck his head out slightly, took a quick look, and immediately retracted it.

At this time, in the blood-stained passage, two Hyenas were checking the bodies of the prison soldiers one by one to confirm if there were any survivors.

Occasionally, one or two prison soldiers who had not completely died would move slightly.

The Puppet Mech—Hyena directly raised its huge mechanical foot and stomped down.

"Ah!"

*Crack!*

Accompanied by a shrill scream, blood splattered everywhere.

"No, the weapons we have will only tickle them. Let's change the route."

Su Mo took a deep breath and said.

"There's no way to change it. We have to go through here. This is the only way to the ruins."

Tiro frowned.

Just as everyone was frowning, Mondox said in a hoarse voice.

"There is another way."

Su Mo and the others looked up at Mondox in surprise.

"Follow me!"

Mondox then led the group back silently, running towards another passage.

He led Su Mo and the others around in circles, and suddenly stopped, then entered an inconspicuous tea room.

Then Mondox said to Yan Gang.

"Crouch down!"

Yan Gang cooperated and squatted down. Mondox nimbly jumped onto Yan Gang's shoulders, and Yan Gang stood up.

Mondox raised his hand and groped the smooth metal ceiling above his head.

As a result, a gap was pushed open in the flat metal ceiling, revealing a pipe opening.

"Go through here."

Mondox didn't waste a word and took the lead in drilling in.

Yan Gang didn't hesitate to reach out and send Tiro and the others up one by one.

Then he jumped up and grabbed the opening, climbing up.

The pipe opening was quite spacious and sturdy, but there was no end in sight, and it was unknown where it led.

"Follow me, don't make any noise."

Mondox instructed in a deep voice.

"No problem."

Su Mo and the others responded.

Mondox crawled forward, and soon the pipe forked, but it didn't affect Mondox at all. He turned left directly.

After crawling not far, everyone vaguely heard explosions, and the sound was getting closer and closer. They should be getting closer to a combat area.

Su Mo and the others tensed up and continued to crawl forward silently.

Just ahead of the passage, there were small vents.

When Su Mo and the others crawled past, they looked down through the vents and saw a group of giant bionic mechanical dogs, about 3 meters tall and 5 meters long, pouncing on Hyena mechs, using sharp spikes to destroy the solid cockpits and biting the pilots inside.

"Hurry up, these are Mechanical Hounds. They have great strength, high agility, and very flexible limbs. They also have sharp biting teeth and sharp tail cones that can penetrate high-strength alloy steel plates. Most importantly, they have very strong scanning devices and are easily detected."

Longke was pale with fright and urged in a low voice.

In fact, there had been prisoners throughout history who seized opportunities to escape control.

But without exception, they were all caught and killed by the Mechanical Hounds.

At this moment, a Mechanical Hound suddenly raised its head and looked at the ventilation pipe above its head, immediately gathering an energy beam in its mouth.

"Crap, we've been discovered, run!"

Su Mo immediately sensed the danger, decisively took out two magnetic blast bombs, squeezed them to activate them, and threw them out of the vent as soon as possible.

*Rumble*

The Mechanical Hound, which was about to launch an attack, was directly covered by the explosion. Its body swayed slightly, and the beam it spat out went wide.

*Boom!*

The pipe behind Su Mo, along with the metal ceiling, was directly penetrated.

Inside the passage, Su Mo and the others crawled frantically.

Behind them, beams of light pierced through the pipe.

The Mechanical Hounds below the corridor were attacking like crazy.

Fortunately, Mondox led them around the corner along the passage in time to escape temporarily.

"Phew."

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost killed. It was really embarrassing.

Longke asked with lingering fear, "How long do we have to crawl?"

"Almost there."

Mondox replied calmly.

Hearing this, Longke relaxed a little.

Soon Su Mo and the others followed Mondox to the floating lift platform area, and they jumped down from the hidden maintenance port of the passage.

Su Mo and the others cautiously looked around.

Besides the bodies of some prison soldiers, there were also a few destroyed mechs.

No mechanical guards were seen. If there were no accidents, the mechanical guards should have left here.

Tiro and the others immediately boarded the platform, and Longke went to pull the emergency switch to stand guard.

Soon the mobile platform began to move, first sinking, entering a special passage, and then moving horizontally at a very fast speed.

Longke sat directly on the ground.

"Now it's stable. We're finally going to enter the ruins. By the way, where do we go after we enter the ruins?"

Mondox said in a hoarse voice, "Down the sinkhole."

"What the hell? You're not kidding, are you? We don't have protective suits or work exoskeleton armor, how are we going to get down?"

Longke was no longer calm and stood up directly.

"You've all been injected with advanced gene medicine. Even if you don't wear protective suits, you won't die for a while. At most, your bodies will be damaged. If you don't have exoskeleton armor, you have to find a way to overcome it. You have to climb down even if you have to climb with your bare hands."

Mondox replied very coldly.

The corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched non-stop, but thinking about it, it was normal. It was unrealistic to expect matching equipment at this time.

A moment later, Su Mo and the others successfully entered the ruins.

The entire ruins were empty, with nothing.

Since Su Mo and the others killed the synthetic beast last time, no monsters in the ruins could stop Feizak and his men.

Then they cleaned up the ruins, and all the valuable things were moved away.

Therefore, this place was temporarily abandoned.

However, as soon as they entered the ruins, Su Mo and the others smelled an extremely pungent odor. The air they inhaled into their lungs was like white phosphorus, burning their trachea, which was very painful.

"Are you sure our bodies can handle it? Don't let us be poisoned to death before we escape."

Longke and the others kept covering their mouths and coughing violently.
