Chapter 1515

"Is that so?" Jiutun narrowed his eyes, a strange, demonic light shimmering within them.

He stared at the heavy door before him, sneered, and closed his eyes. Then, he suddenly opened them, a faint, eerie gleam condensing in his gaze.

Hum—a massive surge of Mind Power poured out from his consciousness, striking heavily against that door.

With a loud boom, the door deformed slightly, but in the end, it did not break open.

"Huh, what is this thing?" Jiutun's expression shifted slightly, and he looked at the door before him in surprise.

Lao Wang, standing to the side, was even more dumbfounded. This metal door was made of a special alloy; even if you bombarded it with heavy weapons, it would be impossible to blast open.

Yet this guy just opened his eyes casually, and his Mental Power actually caused it to dent. How did he manage that?

"Modern technology has developed very quickly, exceeding your imagination," Lao Wang steadied himself. "So, it is difficult for you to break through this door."

"But you have a way, don't you?" Jiutun turned his head to look at him. "You must have a way."

"I have no way; otherwise, I wouldn't be waiting outside, exposing myself to danger," Lao Wang shook his head. "If you want to kill me, then do it quickly. Wasting time like this is meaningless."

"Your spirit is worthy of respect, but it's a pity; you have no meaning to me anymore." Jiutun sighed, reached out his hand, and pointed at the center of Lao Wang's brow.

Just at this moment, the Gourd hanging at his waist moved a few times. Jiutun lowered his head and glanced at the Gourd. He was slightly stunned, then laughed: "I almost forgot about you. Hehe, you haven't seen fresh blood in a long time, have you? Very well, this time, I will satisfy you."

Jiutun patted the Gourd, and the Gourd let out a sharp, joyful laugh before transforming into a cloud of black smoke, suddenly enlarging. After enlarging, a row of teeth appeared at the bottom of the Gourd.

Watching the Gourd hanging upside down before him, its bottom split open to reveal a set of sharp teeth, Lao Wang was terrified; he didn't even dare to move.

"Since you're useless, then go die. It just so happens that my Gourd hasn't tasted fresh blood in a long time," Jiutun chuckled.

The Gourd's large mouth suddenly widened, violently swallowing Lao Wang's upper body. With a *crack*, fresh blood splattered everywhere.

*Thump*, Lao Wang's lower body rolled onto the ground. The Gourd chewed a few times with its large mouth, then swallowed what was inside, nodding in contentment with a satisfied look.

"Did you really think I couldn't break this thing? Hehe, it was nothing more than wasting a bit more time. But as for the people inside, not a single one of them will be able to leave here alive. Hahaha."

Inside the room, the defensive side had already organized. The remaining twenty-some security personnel were in position, holding various weapons aimed at the door.

Outside the door, a loud noise erupted from time to time; it seemed as if something was trying its best to destroy this alloy door from the outside.

Each impact produced a loud bang. Following that, the loud noise would pause, and then a sound like a beast's heavy breathing would ring out from outside; it seemed the opponent was also exerting all their strength to break through this door.

Just at this moment, a white-haired professor walked out in a hurry with several assistants. He was the chief scientist of this laboratory, Professor Huang.

"Professor Huang, why have you come out?" A person who looked like a captain stood up hurriedly and said, "Quickly take your assistants back to the laboratory; it's dangerous here."

"What exactly is outside? This isn't a biochemical experiment, and we don't have any mutated species, do we?" Hearing the coarse breathing from behind the door, Professor Huang's expression changed slightly.

"Professor Huang, we currently have no way to know the situation outside. This alloy door is very sturdy, made of special materials, so you don't need to worry," the captain said. "Please return to the laboratory immediately. If there are any problems, we will communicate via the intercom."

"But what exactly is the thing outside?" Professor Huang was, after all, a researcher, and he was very interested in the thing frantically smashing the door.

"It's definitely not a normal person. Three of our team members have already died at the opponent's hands. It is a bloodthirsty creature. Li Hu, take the professor and his assistants inside, and I'll assign ten more men to you. You can die, but the professor's safety must be guaranteed," the captain barked at a team member.

"Yes, Captain." The team member named Li Hu stood up quickly, then took ten men and urged Professor Huang: "Professor Huang, let's go back."

"Then you all must be careful," Professor Huang instructed with concern.

"Professor Huang, we will be careful, don't worry. Xiao Hu, take the professor and the others inside," the captain waved his hand.

Just at this moment, with a loud boom, the door made of special alloy was completely kicked open, and a gust of eerie wind rushed in.

A handsome man with crimson hair walked in, carrying a Wine Gourd in his hand.

"Hehe, nothing special. If my strength were still intact, it would have been a matter of an instant. I suppose I've been sealed for too long," Jiutun muttered to himself. "Is it really this much effort to break through such a small metal door?"

"Who are you?" the captain shouted.

"My name is not something you are worthy of knowing. Haha, the people here are all fresh blood; I won't be able to finish eating them all in a short while," Jiutun looked at the people before him with glowing eyes.

He beckoned forward, and the three team members' bodies stiffened; amidst their screams, they turned into ashes. The captain roared: "Xiao Hu, go! Everyone else, fire!"

Gunshots rang out again. Li Hu gritted his teeth and had no choice but to abandon the captain. He took the ten team members and escorted Professor Huang and the others as they retreated.

*Bang*, another alloy door locked, sealing off everything outside.

Any sounds from the outside were intermittent; the people inside could only vaguely hear the screams and wails from outside.

Immediately after, fresh blood flowed in from the door crack, and then everything outside fell silent.

Li Hu was incomparably grief-stricken; he knew that his teammates had all perished.

"That person will definitely break in. Now we must find a way to get to the Escape Pods. If we take an Escape Pod from there to the sea surface, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope," Li Hu steadied himself and said.

"But the number of Escape Pods is simply not enough," Professor Huang frowned and said. "At most five or six people can escape. What about the rest?"

"Professor Huang, you and your assistants retreat first; we will stay behind to cover you. Our mission is to protect you, so you cannot have any mishaps," Li Hu said. "Once you reach the surface, find a way to call for reinforcements. As for whether we can survive, that will depend on Life."
