The captive's voice was filled with despair and regret.

He spilled out the tragic experiences of himself and his companions like beans.

Fang Qingyu's gaze was cold; key information had been obtained: Creation Technology, special Life Ghost, the mysterious and powerful black-clad woman, the missing Lin Squad, Fenghuo Squad in crisis.

"Where is that woman now?" Fang Qingyu pressed for the last piece.

"I don't... know! After she killed our people, she went into the deep part of the dock! We were too busy escaping to dare look at where she went..." The captive's voice shook.

Just then!

"Sssss——!!!"

"Ka-da ka-da ka-da——!!"

The hissing sound ahead suddenly intensified to another level!

Compared to before, it now seemed close at hand, as if countless sharp tools were scraping hard objects, forming a noise storm that made one's scalp tingle!

The vibration beneath their feet also became exceptionally clear and intense!

"We're here! Ahead is the C7 dock area!"

Old Qiao suddenly stopped in his tracks, his voice carrying a hint of incredulous shock.

Everyone rushed out from the narrow passage formed by the collapsed factory building, and the view ahead suddenly opened up!

A colossal, abandoned port ruin shrouded entirely in the shadow of death lay before them!

Rusty ten-thousand-ton cargo ships, like stranded steel behemoths, were half-submerged in foul, blackened, oil-stained, and mysterious viscous seawater.

The enormous gantry cranes were broken, resembling toys crushed by a giant's foot.

Piles of containers were torn and corroded, forming a bizarre and oppressive steel labyrinth...

The sound that had just made their scalp tingle came from within the labyrinth.

Old Qiao touched his numb scalp: "What sort of Life Ghosts are inside, and how many of them to make such sounds!?"

"It's insect noises."

Jiang Wei listened and said casually from the middle.

"Insect noises!?"

The few people instantly recalled some pictures unfriendly to those with fear of crowding.

Fang Qingyu listened with eyes unperturbed, and black Profound Force slightly leaked from his fingertips.

Ka-cha!

The captive's voice was abruptly cut off.

With a soft sound, the captive's neck twisted at an eerie angle, his life force instantly vanishing.

Qin Hui took advantage of the moment to toss the corpse into the cold corner of the ruins, the movement clean and swift.

"Let's go."

Fang Qingyu's voice was like cold iron, leading the first step into the labyrinth formed by twisted containers, an oppression taken to the extreme.

Upon entering the labyrinth, the scalp-tingling "ssss" and "ka-da" sounds instantly amplified a thousandfold, as if thousands of insects were gnawing at bones near one's ears, the sharp noise piercing the brain.

The air was as foul as congealed grease, mixed with a strong rust scent, rotting oil stain odor, and some pungent, fishy-sweet insect gland secretion smell.

It made one nauseous.

In the Crisis Perception, everywhere... was filled with danger!

"Qi Hao, keep calling Fenghuo!"

Without turning his head, Fang Qingyu ordered, while black Dragon Tiger Strength silently flowed, like putting on a layer of flowing Ink Jade Armor under dim light, delicate Golden Patterns winding on it.

"Yes!" Qi Hao immediately responded, pressing the radio close to his mouth, lowering his voice, repeatedly calling: "Fenghuo Squad! Fenghuo Squad! This is Dragon Spine Camp Third Squad Fang Qingyu sub-squad, please respond! Please respond!..."

His voice appeared somewhat weak amidst the noisy insect chirping, the radio only crackling with desperate static noise.

Suddenly!

Shit—!

A stream of sickly green viscous liquid shot out like an arrow fired from a crossbow, from a broken container latch on the upper side, aiming directly at the middle of the team—Jiang Wei,

The liquid carried a strong corrosive nature, even causing "zzzz" soft sounds in the air.

"Watch out!"

Lv Chen reacted quickly, giving a low shout, raising his longsword with a swift motion, attempting to block it.

But Fang Qingyu was even faster!

Almost the instant the acid sprayed, Fang Qingyu's figure transformed into a black thunderbolt, without even a glance. Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash hadn't even left its scabbard, yet the scabbard wrapped in Profound Force, like a siege battering ram, with a heavy rushing sound, precisely struck the green shadow!

Boom!

Whoosh—

The viscous acid exploded under the great force, scattering around, mostly spattering on the nearby container wall, instantly corroding large black pits, emitting noxious white smoke. A platter-sized acid beetle with a dark green shell, its mouthparts like syringe tubes, fell from the opening, stomped heavily by Fang Qingyu's following foot.

Ka-cha... Splatter!!

Its hard shell shattered like a fragile eggshell under the Profound Force, causing foul juices and shattered insect bits to splatter.

"Screech—!"

As the sharp insect chirping ended, the overturned container board beneath burst with force!

Two enormous mantis-like creatures, forelimbs mutated into huge blade legs shimmering with metallic cold light—the Cutters—burst from the soil! Their target was crystal clear.

Fang Qingyu at the forefront!

The blade legs moved as fast as lightning, bringing a piercing air-splitting shriek, slashing crossways at Fang Qingyu's waist! The angle was cunning and vicious!

Fang Qingyu's gaze chilled, he neither dodged nor flinched!

Profound black force quickly condensed at his arms, as if lava flowed beneath his skin, the golden pattern suddenly burning bright! His arms rose like two water-dwelling black iron dragons, carrying a crushing force, boldly meeting the terrifying blade legs coming to slash!

Clang! Clang—!!!

Two deafening metal clashes almost burst simultaneously!

Sparks flew!

Blade legs that could effortlessly slice through steel bars clashed with the arms enveloped in Profound Force, producing grating sounds akin to hacking into solid refined steel!
