Chapter 239 The Secret Core
Xiaoling's words, "The greatest love is allowing the other person to fulfill their own mission," were like a pebble thrown into stagnant water, stirring ripples in the hearts of everyone in Bunker B7.

Xiao Ran held his younger sister, his body still trembling slightly, unable to speak for a moment.

Lin Che, Su Wanqing, Lu Zhao—everyone's thoughts revolved around the cruel phrase "voluntary sacrifice."

In the midst of this frozen silence, a loud bang came from above them.

boom--!
The entire bunker shook violently, and concrete blocks from the ceiling fell like hailstones, filling the air with dust.

The piercing alarm instantly shattered the oppressive atmosphere, and the red warning lights flashed wildly, turning everyone's faces deathly pale.

"What's going on!" a soldier shouted.

Lieutenant Cui rushed to the control panel and brought up the external monitoring. On the screen, dozens of silver, teardrop-shaped detectors were gathering high above them, swirling to form a huge vortex-like energy field, with the center of the vortex directly facing the bunker.

"The advance officer has found us!" Lieutenant Cui grabbed the communicator and shouted into all channels: "Everyone, evacuate to the backup bunker in Sector C immediately!"
Repeat: Evacuate immediately! Medical teams should prioritize the evacuation of the wounded!

Chaos erupted inside the bunker. Soldiers set up makeshift evacuation routes while loudly guiding the already panicked civilians toward the hidden passage leading to the rear.

The cries of children, the screams of adults, and the shouts of commands mingled together, and the apocalyptic scene descended upon this last refuge.

"Lu Zhao, hurry!" Su Wanqing shouted, and together with Lin Che, they helped Lu Zhao quickly disassemble the unfinished "core resonance amplifier".

"There's no time to disassemble it, we have to move the whole thing!" Lu Zhao unscrewed the last fixing bolt, and the three of them worked together to lift the heavy device.

"Night" in the corner didn't move. He just looked up at the cracks on the wall that were widening due to the tremors, his expression unusually solemn.

“They didn’t just find us,” he muttered to himself, but his voice carried clearly to everyone’s ears. “They changed their attack methods… This isn’t simple scanning and data collection; this is the mark of the mastermind itself.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than another, even more violent explosion came from above.

The bunker's lighting system completely failed, with the lights flickering wildly, leaving only the emergency power supply struggling to keep up.

Xiao Ran scooped up his sister, who had recovered, and held her tightly in his arms before joining the evacuation.

"Keep up! Don't fall behind!" he shouted to the others.

Suddenly, a blindingly bright silver light shot in from the center of the ceiling, like a red-hot iron being plunged into butter.

The concrete and steel bars exposed to the silver light did not burn or crack; instead, they vanished silently.

After the beam of light passed, it left a perfectly smooth circle on the ground, as if drawn with a ruler, leading straight to the soil layer above.

The entire bunker structure began to groan in a sickening groan, threatening to collapse at any moment.

"Go! Go now!" Lieutenant Cui roared at Su Wanqing and the others. He himself led the last batch of soldiers against the flow of people and set up a temporary defensive line in front of the terrifying cave entrance.

He held a specially made energy shield, aiming it at the continuously projecting silver light, and ripples spread across the surface of the shield.

"Evacuate all non-essential personnel! Researcher Su, take your team and equipment and leave immediately! We will cover you!"

Su Wanqing paused, turning back to look at the soldiers holding guns, their faces resolute.

She understood that they were risking their lives to buy time for hundreds of people to evacuate.

The hole in the ceiling grew larger and larger under the erosion of the silver light, and several silver detectors had already seeped in through the hole, floating in the air like ghosts.

"Fire!"

The soldiers pulled the triggers, but the bullets passed through the detector's translucent body without any resistance, hitting the opposite wall without causing any effect. Only Lieutenant Cui's energy shield could temporarily block the detector's scanning waves.

"Stop looking! Let's go!" Lin Che pulled Su Wanqing along.

In this chaotic, life-or-death moment, a tall, thin man in a tattered gray robe suddenly stood in front of Su Wanqing.

It was as if he had been standing there all along, only to be seen by others at this moment.

His face was covered with crisscrossing scars, but his eyes were unusually bright, with a calm that seemed to see through everything.

It was that mysterious figure who appeared and disappeared among the city ruins, and whom the survivors called "the monk."

“The second core has always been in my hands.” He spoke hoarsely, his voice sounding as if it had been sanded.

As he spoke, he took out a slightly glowing silver metal cylinder from his wide robe sleeves and handed it to Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing subconsciously took it. The cylinder felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a familiar energy fluctuation instantly emanated from her palm, resonating strongly with the core from Dr. Morris within her body.

“We cooperated in the last cycle.” The monk spoke rapidly, his voice low. “Remember, no matter how many people sacrifice themselves, someone must remain to remember it all. Choose memory, not emotion.”

Before Su Wanqing could process this information, a beam of silver light shot down precisely from the hole in the ceiling, piercing directly through the cultivator's chest.

He didn't make a sound, but just smiled at Su Wanqing.

He slowly fell backward.

At the same time, the ceiling of the entire bunker could no longer support it and collapsed completely with a deafening roar.

The massive explosion engulfed everything, sending thick smoke, flames, and countless fragments flying in all directions.

In the instant she was propelled towards the evacuation route by the blast wave, Su Wanqing instinctively stuffed the silver core into the backpack of the loading device.

Just as the core was being packed into the package, the semi-finished device that Lu Zhao was carrying suddenly started up on its own, and all the circuits lit up, emitting a soft blue halo.

Without any physical contact, a clearly visible energy connection was established between the device and the silver core in the backpack.

“This is impossible…” Lu Zhao glanced to the side as he ran, his face full of disbelief. “Unless…” A crazy thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly checked the calculation results on his wrist terminal.

"This core is not just an energy source; it carries... it carries the location information of a time anchor point!"

Taking advantage of the chaos of the final evacuation, the team had already poured into the narrow passage of Sector C.

Using the figures in front of him as cover, Lu Zhao quietly removed one of the side panels of the device and peeked inside.

His whole body froze.

Inside the device, the core seating area doesn't have three seats, but six.

The six card slots were arranged in a complex geometric structure that he had never seen before.

“Not three cores…” He muttered to himself, his mind blank. “It’s six… The Guardians never told us the whole truth…”

Behind them, the roar of explosions and the sound of rocks collapsing grew closer, as if a giant beast was devouring the path they had come from.

Lu Zhao quickly closed the side panel, said nothing, and silently followed the group, retreating into the unknown darkness.

A completely new possibility, far more complex and terrifying than before, slowly emerged in his mind.
