Chapter 969: Digging a Tunnel

"Underground frozen soil will affect the use of earth-drilling bombs, but we don't have to use machinery. We can completely use source beasts that are good at digging to replace earth-drilling machines."

Another person continued the previous person's point of view.

"But the senses of source beasts are sharp. The movement underground can't be hidden from the perception of source beasts, right?" Someone questioned.

"There is another way! We can set traps underground in advance, bury several armor-piercing explosive bombs at the target location, and then detonate them when the four source beasts pass by!" Another person came up with a new idea.

"This method is feasible! As for how to make the four ninth-level source beasts stay in our trap, we can lure them with the breeding source beasts in the base."

"But how do we detonate the armor-piercing explosive bombs underground?"

"Is there a sixth-level evolver who is good at fire in the base? As long as he can pass the flame to the ground, he can detonate the explosives."

"But, but the person who detonates it will surely die?! Which sixth-level evolver can make such a sacrifice?"

There is a way, but now there is a lack of people to die.

"Let me detonate!"

The person who spoke was Chen Xiang, the former captain of the special forces.

He was also one of Lin Tianrui's confidants.

Chen Xiang's sixth-level ability was fire control, and he was the most suitable person to perform this task.

But in order to meet the upcoming threat, someone had to make sacrifices.

After the meeting.

Lin Tianrui and Wang Chao called Chen Xiang to the office.

Chen Xiang looked at the two people's serious expressions facing him and laughed:

"Leader, deputy leader, sixth level for ninth level, I made a profit. If you can do it, I believe you will take this task more decisively than me."

"Chen Xiang, have you really thought about it?"

"I have thought about it. My relatives have been arranged by the base. Even if I am gone, my brother can take care of them. In this life, I am very grateful to the base and Lin's officers for their contributions to ordinary people like us."

In the past few years, Chen Xiang always dreamed that he had lost all his relatives and was struggling alone in the base when he woke up at midnight.

Unlike the last life, this life was not like the last life, where the civilians of Xia suffered heavy casualties. In this life, Chen Xiang's parents were properly settled before the end of the world.

So he no longer had any concerns.

Wang Chao came over and patted Chen Xiang on the shoulder. Although he did not speak, the emotion in his eyes said it all.

Whether in the past life or the present life, they were partners fighting side by side.

"Officer Lin Shi and Chief Xia wanted all humans to go to another unknown world to seek hope. I, Chen Xiang, just did what I should do. It's nothing."

Under the current circumstances, sacrificing himself in exchange for the survival of the entire world's human beings is the smallest price.

Lin Tianrui and the others also knew this.

If they had stronger power, they could directly face the four ninth-level source beasts head-on.

But they didn't, so they could only sacrifice less in exchange for the safety of all humans.

"Okay, then you go back to accompany your family these days. When you are needed, I will let someone notify you."

Chen Xiang nodded and strode away.

After Chen Xiang left, Lin Tianrui sighed heavily, with worry and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

He turned his head to look at Wang Chao beside him, and said slowly:

"It would be great if Lin Shi was here."

"Yes, with Lin Shi's ability..."

The two looked at each other, and they both understood what the other meant.

Lin Shi's strength and potential, if he was still there, might bring them more help and support.

However, Lin Shi was not with them, and they had to face the predicament in front of them.

"Now we can only rely on the power of the Demon King."

Lin Tianrui said with emotion.

At the critical moment of human beings, they can only rely on the power of another source beast.

This made them feel extremely heavy and helpless.

Human beings really need a power standing at the top.

The base began to observe the movements of the four ninth-level source beasts 24 hours a day.

Originally, the four source beasts had entered the territory of Xia State, but after finding that there were not enough source beasts and humans to heal the ninth-level snow leopard, they turned around and headed westward.

The Xia official immediately notified the bases on the route of the four beast kings and told them to evacuate and hide.

But the speed of the four beast kings was too fast, and those bases had no time to evacuate.

Moreover, the world is so big that it is freezing everywhere. The extremely low temperature and the presence of source beasts made it impossible for low-level evolvers and ordinary people to escape.

What awaits them is only a dead end.

......

A white shadow flashed by, and the sharp claws of the snow leopard deeply embedded in the body of the human in front of it.

The middle-aged man only had time to scream before he was picked up by the snow leopard and thrown into the bloody mouth.

The chewing sound of "crackling" was drowned by the wind in this bloody base.

The snow leopard chewed with big mouthfuls, and the deep wounds on its body that could be seen to the bone were also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A huge shadow appeared in the sky.

It turned out to be a ninth-level giant eagle flying over at low altitude.

The giant eagle threw a human corpse in front of the snow leopard.

When the body fell to the ground, it hit the snow hard and twisted into a twisted shape.

The snow leopard didn't care and continued to chew the body to heal its injuries faster.

The polar bear was still wreaking havoc in the base, but the raccoon was not around.

The snow leopard was eating while vigilantly observing the surroundings.

This was a habit it had developed since being tricked by the explosive bomb last time.

Even if its companions were on guard in the sky, it did not dare to relax its guard.

Its eyes were darting around, giving it a sneaky vibe.

The roar in the base made the ground around it vibrate slightly.

After looking around and seeing nothing was happening, the snow leopard continued to lower its head and enjoy the flesh and blood.

The snow leopard, who had been focusing on the ground and the flesh and blood in front of him, did not notice that the snow behind him suddenly sank a little.

Just as the snow leopard raised his head to eat meat again, his hind legs suddenly felt empty.

A large hand with purple hair grabbed the snow leopard's hind legs.

The snow leopard screamed "Ah" and felt something pulling him down.

There was a large empty snow behind him.

The snow leopard lost its balance in an instant and fell straight into the pit.

The giant eagle in the sky discovered the situation immediately, and swooped down with a loud eagle cry.

The polar bears in the base heard the warning, gave up the destruction, and rushed to the snow leopard.

But their speed was not as fast as the demon king and the gibbon hiding in the pit at the moment.

The demon king, who had finally dug a tunnel with the gibbon for so long, was ready to go.

He opened his mouth wide and bit towards the neck of the ninth-level snow leopard!
