Blood slowly trickled down from the top of the stone statue, staining it crimson before spreading out in deep tracks on the ground. A diamond-shaped symbol of the North Star was completely soaked in red, its sharp outline revealed on the earth!
"Zhao Xiong!"
We shouted, but he didn't answer. However, Huan and Feng stiffly looked at their abdomens pierced by stone spikes. He spat blood, staining his clothes, then his eyes widened, and he cursed, "Blood King, I'm coming! I have completed my mission. Even if I reach the depths of hell, I will always protect you, our great king. Thank you for bestowing upon me divine power… Now that I die at the hands of a demon god, let my blood be an offering to the souls of all our fallen North Star comrades!"
As soon as his words fell, countless gravestones rose from the ground. The very ground beneath our feet suddenly split open, and everyone plummeted downwards from a height. We felt as if we had lost our balance and were rapidly falling into the Blood King's prison!
We had no time to react. We landed within the vast formation of the North Star. I was the first to get up. Seeing the dense gravestones before me, I discovered that the photos on them were of Du Qitai, Klovitz, Liu Li, Cao Youqin, Cang Xuesong… This place was actually a massive graveyard commemorating the sacrifices of the North Star!
After I stood up, the others slowly joined me. The graveyard above was likely just a facade. A cemetery was buried deep within here. But why would they want us to find this place? What if we deliberately destroyed it?
I thought it must be that Dang Fengyu had no other choice. Since we had found this lair, he could only abandon his deceased comrades from the past?
I didn't overthink it. Their bodies were definitely not here; only empty graves. But the organization had built an underground cemetery here to commemorate them.
Their emotions and faith were indeed awe-inspiring. However, they were criminals. Even their deep sentiments were built upon the suffering of others.
We walked past these somber, dark gravestones and reached a cave entrance. Yes, we had descended from the laboratory. This was a different place now. But to truly escape the underground cemetery was still a long way off. The laboratory was merely a part of the underground cemetery.
We continued forward with our guns. We couldn't retrieve Zhao Xiong for now, so we had to leave him.
Once we got out, we would let the reinforcements come and handle it.
Just now, he sacrificed himself to save everyone. Otherwise, if Huan and Feng hadn't had hostages, he would have charged at us with explosives. I had noticed Zhao Xiong pulling him back from behind at that moment.
Upon entering the cave, we found numerous barrels on both sides, with glowing skulls placed on top. Many human bones were embedded in the walls. Xie Chuchu said, "Limbs, pelvic bones, occipital bones… It's estimated that many people were dismembered here. These bones were used as specimens and embedded here."
"Damn North Star, how many more people do you intend to harm? From the beginning until now…" I couldn't even count. This was simply unforgivable. North Star, your sins are beyond absolution!
I will definitely arrest all of you and let the entire society know that you are a fatal tumor. Let the world be awakened, and I believe that on that day, the whole world will rejoice, and a grand banquet will be held for seven days and seven nights! Universal celebration!
I muttered to myself when Xiahou suddenly said, "This is bad! This place seems to be collapsing!"
"What?" By the time we reacted, the ground beneath our feet began to tremble violently.
We thought we would continue to fall, but instead, the surroundings shook violently. Looking at the situation overhead, I realized this place was indeed about to be destroyed. I shouted, "Everyone grab onto something and escape this place, quickly!"
Shouting this at this moment was somewhat redundant. After all, anyone encountering such a situation would try their best to survive. In the next second, everyone lost their balance. Yu Ning forcefully pulled me, released her grappling hook, and brought me to a platform above. If not for her action, I wouldn't have known there was a platform above. But after I got up, I felt that the area above was also trembling. Yu Ning seemed to be trying to save me. At this moment, there was another figure beside me, Du Wantian. This person was none other than that maid from our He family. I didn't expect her to appear at this time.
They both pulled my arms forcefully: "Young Master, hurry!"
I didn't question why Yu Ning called me that at that moment. There was no time. The entire cemetery seemed to be collapsing. I didn't know what happened to the people behind me. Later, I discovered that Du Wantian and Liu Yuning had fallen. At that moment, I truly thought everyone was doomed, but I knew I couldn't go back!!
Charge!
Arrest Dang Fengyu. As long as one member of our Punitive Justice Team is alive, we must complete the mission!!
As long as one member of our Punitive Justice Team is alive, we must complete the mission!!
Even if only the last one of us remains, we must complete the mission!!
This was not just the mission of the Punitive Justice Team, but the mission of all police officers in China!
This sentence was like a driving force pushing me forward, making me fearless and resolute!!
I gritted my teeth, tears welling up in the corners of my eyes. I jumped up forcefully, reaching another platform above. Then, I saw someone fearfully turn and try to flee. This guy hadn't escaped yet and was just observing here, or perhaps he thought the earthquake would kill us all. Little did he expect me to appear before him!!
I lunged forward desperately, pinning him down fiercely. I grabbed a nearby rope and tied him up tightly. This person was none other than the Dang Fengyu we were pursuing.
"Dang Fengyu, you have been thoroughly arrested by our Guangming City police. I am Officer He Sheng, who is arresting you. Don't struggle pointlessly, it's meaningless!"
"He Sheng, ahhh!! Hahaha! I didn't expect you to escape the clutches of death in such a situation. Amazing, very amazing!! I admit defeat wholeheartedly. But now you are alone. Is there any meaning in your survival?"
"How I live is my freedom. Besides, do you think our teammates would sacrifice themselves so easily? You're too naive, Dang Fengyu! I don't know why he calls you Blood King, but it seems you're nothing special now!"
"Damn police officer, do you think you alone can arrest me?"
