Dragon Clan: Thought So Far

Lu Mingfei had two broken ribs, and blood foam flowed into his throat through his trachea, turning every breath into a burning torture.

θ's strength was beyond his imagination. His instantaneous burst combined with his own physique even increased the stabbing speed of the dagger to five hundred times that of an ordinary soldier.

So far he only knows four users of Time Zero, namely Angé, Chu Tianjiao, Fujiwara Nobunosuke and θ.

The principal is an ally, and they have no chance of fighting to the death; although Chu Tianjiao was once an enemy wearing the mask of Odin, his bloodline is far from reaching the level of the god in the Rainfall; Fujiwara Nobunosuke is just a vicious dog raised by the Gattuso family and is not comparable at all.

Only θ, when Blood Rage was activated to the second degree, made Lu Mingfei seem to see a sea of ​​blade light spreading out in front of him.

When this old man who had been sleeping in the Blue Palace for decades chanted the Spirit Words, the entire space was shrouded in sticky amber, and even the air molecules were condensed into golden threads.

He first stabbed Lu Mingfei's right abdomen with a general's spear, breaking two ribs, and then cut his throat with a cicada-wing blade while Lu Mingfei was counterattacking.

He did the most extreme thing that the owner of Time Zero could do. The only mistake was that the blood flowing in Lu Mingfei's body was no longer human blood but dragon blood. Even though his throat was cut, it healed almost instantly.

In just a moment of θ's daze, Lu Mingfei's journey to becoming a god had been advanced to the third level.

Immediately, the lustful blade spun and cut across the old man's larynx. He covered his cut carotid artery and made a loud noise. Lu Mingfei took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, and the short arc knife stabbed into the old man's heart continuously.

The huge blood pressure caused θ's blood to gush out from the wound on his back like a long inky dragon.

——Everything that happened in City 023 made Lu Mingfei realize that this escape was not just his own business.

The power of the secret party is polarizing. Pompey, who was pushed to the throne of emperor by the school directors and elders with their own power, is gradually showing his fangs. At the same time, another group of elders who were skeptical about this matter finally began to raise their eyes that had been buried in the glory of history and unwilling to look forward.

The struggle for power is raging, the Qunje Hall and the Elders Council are completely on opposite sides, but their fighting and game still cannot be exposed because external enemies are watching covetously.

Whether it is the orthodox Chinese who have begun to try to extend their tentacles to the British Isles, or the Eight Snake Families who suffered a great loss of strength after the Tokyo Incident but have rekindled their ambitions.

As long as Kassel Academy, the overlord of the dark society that has established its status with countless achievements over the past hundreds of years, shows any sign of weakness and fatigue, they will pounce on it like blood-thirsty sharks and tear apart the remaining value of this huge organization.

The horn of Ragnarok has been sounded, and the day of the return of the Supreme predicted in the Ice Sea Scroll seems to be within sight. At this time, neither Pompey, the Dragon King, nor the Elders Council, which still regards itself as a desperate wall, are willing to let Kassel Academy collapse.

When the final battle begins, whoever holds power and authority will have the ticket to the new era.

The battle line has gradually retreated to the corridor under the base of the great man's statue. Bunin's allies have tried to launch several counterattacks and charges, but in front of the alchemical weapons that have been used to the extreme and the elite hybrids who have received the most rigorous training, these desperadoes who once participated in the Patriotic War are nothing more than a group of mad dogs waiting to be killed.

Their counterattacks were repelled again and again, and every time they returned here to rest, there would be casualties.

Fortunately, although everyone is obsessed with the time stolen from the hands of death, they still maintain a strong fighting spirit and no one is willing to give up.

In particular, Bunin had already asked Susie to appear in front of them with an aluminum alloy box full of serum. Okinez checked the contents personally and found that they were all in good condition.

Alexei was about to say something but stopped himself. In the middle of the office was a stretcher, on which lay a body that some old men from nowhere had snatched back from the battlefield. They said his name was Beowulf.

There were two body bags piled in the corner, containing β and θ respectively.

When Lu Mingfei realized that one of their allies was being attacked in the distant fir forest, he chose to take action immediately. Before that, Caesar made a spine-chilling speculation.

He said that the lives of the elders in the Palace of Blues were shared, and as long as there was one elder still alive within a certain range, they could stand up again from the ashes even if the others were crushed to dust.

This was indeed the case. When Lu Mingfei stabbed θ's heart with lust, β, whose brain was destroyed in the distance, immediately lost all remaining vitality.

It’s a pity that even Lu Mingfei couldn’t save Beowulf’s life before the owner of Time Zero, who deliberately hid himself, launched an assassination.

When the black triangular dagger pierced Beowulf's heart, it injected a huge amount of mercury into his body, and death came almost instantly.

"There should be a low river underground in City 023 leading to a valley dozens of kilometers away. That was an escape route prepared when this place was built... If the Americans bombed the rear cities in Siberia with nuclear bombs, scientists and workers would evacuate to the vast frozen soil through these extensive underground pipelines. After the nuclear war, they would be the main force in rebuilding the country." Alexei said.

His arm was wrapped in bandages and one of his ears was shattered by a stray bullet during the breakout.

Telling Lu Mingfei about this matter was obviously the result of the immortals' meeting and discussion. They had already got what they wanted, and there was no need to continue to fight with the elites of Kassel Academy.

With those serums, everyone here can live in this perfect state for hundreds of years, and a good life is waiting for them.

But he could only stand at the door of the office and look at Lu Mingfei, because in front of this Chinese man, the Princess of the Romanov family was like an angry lioness, staring at everyone who came at the end of the corridor with cold eyes.

Alexei had no doubt that if he overstepped his bounds even a little, a bullet would pierce his skull in the next second.

The Romanovs were known for their tyrannical ways when the country was still ruled by the Tsarist family.

"Mr. Henkel and Mr. Valentin, do you have any other tasks besides bringing these two bodies back?" Lu Mingfei looked at the old men who were drinking vodka on the side.

Han Gao shook his head: "My purpose is not to bring them back... Since we can temporarily escape the pursuit of the academy by leaving here, I think you can leave immediately."

"We will take the things back." Valoya stared down at Beowulf's body under the white cloth.

When he died, his body almost collapsed, all the blood had been drained out, and it was so dry that it seemed like it would crumble into dust if it fell.

Lu Mingfei was also a little sad.

He had always thought that old Beowulf was not a good person...

"How did you leave?"

"If we go by sea, someone will come to pick us up as soon as we cross the strait," said Valentin.

This is not a problem for them.

As for Caesar, Chu Zihang and Susie, they were now guarding a branch floor of the downward staircase behind the office.

No one knows whether Christina will exist as a human being or turn into something like a dragon after using the serum. Caesar has already prepared for the worst.

Bunin was already waiting for Lu Mingfei, and he decided to fulfill his promise and send him where he wanted to go.

The place where all tragedies began, the harbor where the tragedies of the gods began to emerge.

Black Swan Harbor.

"In order to prevent further pursuit, we decided to completely destroy the city before leaving." Alexei saluted.

Lu Mingfei looked over in confusion.

"We originally planned an explosion test of a new type of intercontinental missile in the center of this city, but that test will be held in three months. If we want to destroy City 023 before that, the only thing that can do it is what's under our feet." Alexei stomped his feet, and the hard uppers of his shoes made a heavy, crisp sound as they struck the cement tiles.

"You mean the nuclear fusion reactor?" Han Gao frowned and puffed on his cigar. "It's useless. The purpose of the Tokamak device is to prevent the nuclear reactor from becoming an unstable nuclear bomb."

"Before entering City 023, you saw the river around the city that never freezes even in a temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius, right?" Alexei sneered.

"The nuclear fusion reactor here is the largest in the world, and it should also be equipped with the largest Tokamak device and heat exchange device in the world... But apart from a few cooling towers, there are not many similar things in City 023 because they are used to cool the nuclear reactor core. The huge amount of water vapor is actually produced by an underground river under the rock layer. When the reactor is started at a very high power, the whole river is boiling."

"To destroy City 023 based on this premise, we have two options. One option is to close the cooling valve of the reactor to increase its power and turn it into an unstable nuclear bomb. The other option is to increase the power of the reactor and turn the underground river into a super steam engine locked under the rock. The high-pressure gas will tear the earth's crust apart within a few hours and swallow everything here into the abyss underground."

"What are you going to do?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Sunk it into the ground," Alexei said. "We know that Bunin's daughter, Christina, is in the process of cocooning and regaining her life. This process will be very long. Their only choice is to take the cocoon with them. But I don't think Mr. Lu and the guards around the princess are capable of running wildly in the extreme cold of Siberia with such a thing."

Lu Mingfei fell silent.

In fact, Caesar has made his decision. He will compromise with the Gattuso family in exchange for Christina's new life.

Just as Lu Mingfei expected.

"Then prepare to retreat." Lu Mingfei looked at Han Gao, "We will go our separate ways after we leave. Thank you, Mr. Han Gao."

"I don't owe you any favors anymore." Han Gao nodded.

"You haven't owed it for a long time." Lu Mingfei smiled.

.

.

The steel tomb behind us, known as City 023, was emitting a dying roar.

Ling's hair fluttered in the cold wind. She grabbed Lu Mingfei's wrist and ran wildly in the corridor. Her slender boots splashed a series of water wherever they stepped.

"Three hundred meters to go." Bunin's voice seemed to come from a very far distance.

As they rushed into the shaft leading to the surface, the first wave of collapse began.

The underground space of City 023 is a giant honeycomb built by the former Soviet government deep in the permafrost. At this moment, this Far Eastern city supported by reinforced concrete and karst cave structures is beginning to disintegrate from the core.

Lu Mingfei saw a boiling underground river gushing out from the cracks in the lower tunnel, with steam filling the passage.

The elevator in the shaft had already stopped working. Zero pulled out the hook on his tactical belt and shot at the maintenance ladder on the wall of the shaft.

Lu Mingfei heard a slight dislocation sound from her shoulder blades, but she simply pursed her lips and used the force to swing higher like a white bird.

The old men and immortals around looked at each other, but could only wait for the next move.

A suffocating roar was coming from below. Everyone looked down and found that the hot underground river water was climbing along the wall of the well, squeezing and deforming even the rusty alloy wherever it passed.

"Come up quickly!" Ling's voice was still cold.

She had already reached the ground, and the rappelling ropes were thrown down one by one. Chu Zihang and Su Si looked at each other, stepped forward and pulled to make sure it was stable, fixed Lu Mingfei on it, and sent this guy up through the pulley structure.

When they finally broke open the airlock door on the surface, the Siberian blizzard rushed in like a silver-white beast.

Lu Mingfei’s retina still remembered the pitch-black darkness just now, but now he felt the sting of ice and snow.

Her Royal Highness's eyelashes were frosted, and around her were seven or eight steel behemoths covered with rainproof cloth.

They were snow shuttles painted black, with laser transmitters on their roofs flashing faint red lights in the blizzard.

Without any extra conversation, everyone who escaped from City 023 looked at each other and said goodbye, each boarding a shuttle with their companions.

After the vehicle started, the engine let out a dying roar. Zero stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the temperature needle on the dashboard vibrated wildly in the red zone.

In the rearview mirror, a huge snow hill was rising at the location of City 023, and then countless steel beams and pipes pierced the ice like black thorns, turning the frozen soil within a radius of five kilometers into a hideous metal forest.

"They won't do anything to Caesar and Christina." Ling suddenly spoke, her face coated with a layer of cold glaze by the blue light of the dashboard. "If it is true as Henkel said that the Gattuso family needs a carrier to awaken the Dragon King, then Caesar must be the perfect key."

"We still have time." Lu Mingfei said.

Before City 023 was destroyed, Caesar had surrendered to the Gattuso family, and those elite soldiers would accompany him to transport Christina's cocoon.

Bunin was wrapped in a military coat and remained silent. He was tightly clutching a black aluminum alloy box, which contained the last serum extracted from the black snake.

And the Black Snake...

It escaped.

We headed westwards from the boiling underground river, not knowing where we were going.
