Chapter 340 99 Thunder Towers
After clearing away the surrounding dirt, the three discovered that it was the top of a building, and that it was quite large.
"You guys go up and get the rope first, I'll cut it open here."
Hei Xiazi agreed, and then he and Zhang Qiling used the momentum to jump out of the pit.
After the two left, Cheng Feng squatted down and tapped the roof of the building below with his fingers.
"It's 40 centimeters thick; the materials and labor used are quite substantial!"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng clenched his right fist and slammed it down with tremendous force on the spot where he had just struck.
With a loud bang, the spot where Cheng Feng struck caved in and a circular crack more than a meter in diameter appeared.
Cheng Feng's control over force has now reached a level of perfection, and with deliberate control, he managed to shatter this area.
That way, he wouldn't fall down while breaking through the building.
With a light jump, they returned to the top. The rope had just been tied, and everyone was packing up to go down into the tomb.
After everyone was ready, Cheng Feng took the rope handed to him by Hei Xiazi and said:
"Watch your surroundings, lest those undead and wild beasts take advantage of any openings."
"Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Hei Xiazi responded, saying that with him and Zhang Qiling above, the chances of anything going wrong were slim.
Seeing this, Cheng Feng nodded, then jogged a few steps and jumped into the pit, pulling on the rope.
He stepped precisely on the spot where he had just created the crack, and instantly the broken stones collapsed, creating a circular gap.
Cheng Feng followed the gap downwards and landed on the ground when the rope reached the bottom.
First, he glanced around and found that the area was empty and there was no danger.
Then Cheng Feng called out to those above:
"There's no danger, come down."
Then Chen Wenjin and the others climbed down the rope one by one from above.
After Zhang Qiling came down, everyone began to check the situation.
"This is a thunder tower, used to assist the main tower of Thunder City in listening to thunder."
Chen Wenjin turned his gaze away from the murals on Leita.
Hei Xiazi continued from the other side, "Judging from the murals, there are ninety-nine of these thunder towers, surrounding Thunder City in the center. Once you find the thunder towers, you won't be far from Thunder City."
As the two were talking, Zhang Qiling silently drove to a wall and extended two fingers that were a section longer than normal.
After slicing across the wall, he said, "There's a mechanism here."
After hearing this, everyone went to Zhang Qiling's place.
"It's a secret passage."
After Cheng Feng confirmed it, Zhang Qiling immediately extended two fingers, instantly piercing through the wall, and the mechanism was activated.
A revolving door slowly opened.
Since there was a secret passage, they naturally wanted to go in and take a look. The group passed through the revolving door and entered the secret passage one by one.
Soon, the group followed the secret passage into another thunder tower.
Except for the lack of murals, this tower is exactly the same as the previous one.
"It seems that these ninety-nine thunder towers are interconnected. If so, then there may be a path leading to Thunder City."
Chen Wenjin guessed based on the information on the previous murals.
"Hmm, let's keep looking. There should be traces left by Wu Sansheng at the tower that leads into Thunder City. It'll be easy to find if we pass by."
Zhang Qiling opened the secret passage mechanism again, and the group began searching through the various thunder towers.
Meanwhile, Tian Youjin's team followed in the footsteps of Cheng Feng and the others and also arrived in the deep forest.
Although they successfully passed through the stage, one life was lost.
However, they were already quite satisfied with losing only one person.
Looking at the thick white fog outside Shandong, Tian Youjin instructed his men, "Send one person with equipment to scout ahead."
Among these people were his carefully trained subordinates and mercenaries he had hired at great expense.
For mercenaries, taking money from their employer means risking their lives, so one of them quickly donned protective gear and a gas mask.
His teammates then tied the rope around his waist.
Once he was ready, he took his gun and walked into the thick fog.
The others carefully held the rope, ready to pull anyone who went out back immediately if anything seemed amiss.
A few minutes later, the rope in their hands suddenly began to vibrate, and the already tense crowd quickly pulled the rope back.
Suddenly, their grip loosened, and the seven or eight people rolled into a heap.
"Oh no, the rope has broken!"
"He was attacked by something."
Tian Youjin gritted his teeth as he watched this scene; they had already fallen far behind Cheng Feng and the others.
If we don't hurry up and catch up, we might not even get leftovers.
"Continue to send people to scout ahead, this time in pairs."
Having learned from the first experience, Tian Youjin sent two people this time, so that even if they encountered danger, they wouldn't be left without any intelligence.
Soon, the two, fully equipped, set off again.
The two walked closely into the white mist, which was now very thick due to Cheng Feng's killing of the golden toad.
Their field of vision was only four or five meters in front of them.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the place where one of them had the accident.
Then they witnessed a horrific scene.
Their teammates, dressed in protective suits, were now lying in pools of blood.
A huge wound was torn open in his abdomen, and his internal organs had disappeared.
"His internal organs had been eaten by something, and there were still pieces of his heart there."
"Cover each other up, let's go back first and talk about it later."
Their scalps tingled with fear; the feeling of being threatened by an unknown entity was far more terrifying than anything they had experienced on the battlefield.
Both of them were seasoned veterans, and under such circumstances, they relied on each other's backs, keeping watch for each other as they retreated.
The people inside the cave noticed the two's movements and began to pull back the rope, providing them with assistance.
Just as the two were only ten meters away from Shandong, a dark figure suddenly rushed out of the poisonous fog.
The person in the shadow reacted swiftly and immediately pulled the trigger.
The muzzle flash, accompanied by a huge sound, rang out not far from the cave.
"Quickly pull him back."
With the desperate pulling of more than a dozen people, the two people who were not far from the cave entrance were dragged into the public eye.
Immediately afterwards, a blood-covered, ferocious-looking man also caught up.
Even though he had been riddled with machine gun bullets, he was still full of energy.
"Shoot now."
As soon as he finished speaking, gunshots rang out, and the person chasing after him instantly gained more than ten kilograms.
When the gunfire stopped, his head was completely shattered, and only his body was still convulsing.
"Is he even human? He tried to charge at me when he only had half a head left."
“He’s definitely not normal. We don’t know how many of these things are in the fog. If there are too many, we’re definitely going to die here.”
Some people in the group were talking in hushed tones, beginning to feel pessimistic about what lay ahead.
Cheng Feng and his group, who were traversing the underground mine tower, heard the gunshots clearly.
These radar towers even amplified the gunfire.
"Tian Youjin and the others have caught up."
"That toxic fog is enough to give them a hard time. They might as well just die in the fog to save us the trouble of taking action."
Black Bear used his short knife to tap and knock along the secret passage, hoping to find it by chance.
After everyone emerged from the secret passage and saw the situation of the lightning tower, their eyes lit up.
"Finally found."
