Chapter 232: Chapter 229: This Thing is Poisonous

The signs inside the subway station indicated it was Line 3.

Chen Xing used her flashlight to find a subway map and located the transfer point to Line 2.

She remembered that Line 2 had already been cleared, so she was certain she could find the entrance.

However... she was sixteen stops away from Line 2 and had to pass through several transfer stations.

Chen Xing didn’t recognize any of these transfer stations, which meant they were most likely uncleared.

She didn’t have time to dwell on it.

Right now, she could only hope the Duole Safety Zone was intact. Whether it was Song Yiguo or Li Ruixiao, at least one person in charge had to be alive.

If the Capital City fell, the world would truly descend into chaos.

At the very least, Huaxia would be thrown into turmoil.

As long as this central authority existed, many of Huaxia’s safety zones could still function normally.

Without that check, ambitious people would quickly seize power, and life for ordinary people would become even more difficult.

Chen Xing led Meng Hu, and they ran swiftly along the pitch-black, dust-covered subway tracks.

Suddenly, a wall-crawling monster appeared ahead of them.

It was similar to the monsters she had encountered while clearing a subway station before, only this one was much faster, slightly larger, and its tongue could shoot out over a meter long.

Chen Xing threw her knife, aiming straight for the monster’s head.

The monster was nimble. It dodged in a flash and reappeared on the opposite wall.

Meng Hu was eager to charge, but Chen Xing held him back.

’I don’t know what’s up with that tongue. What if it’s poisonous? What will happen to Meng Hu?’

The wall-crawling monster closed the distance to just a few meters in a series of leaps.

Chen Xing immediately gathered a current of electricity and shot it at the monster.

The monster, stuck to the wall, fell to the ground instantly, like a powerful adhesive that had lost its grip.

’My lightning can now split into more than a dozen streams at once. It’s a bit of a waste on a single monster.’

She ran over and extracted the Crystal Core. It was another Advanced Crystal Core.

’Have even the subway monsters started upgrading themselves now?’

’I’m afraid the surface will soon be crawling with Advanced Zombies.’

’Literally crawling all over the place.’

’They’re numerous, fast, and you can run into them anywhere.’

Without pausing, Chen Xing led Meng Hu and continued running forward.

The next few transfer stations were manageable, with only single monsters appearing.

Chen Xing avoided using her electrical superpower whenever possible, opting for a machine gun instead.

Five stops before the transfer to Line 2, she reached the final transfer station on this line.

Even before entering the station proper, Chen Xing was hit by the thick stench of monsters.

It hit her full in the face. The reek was simply indescribable.

The smell of mold, dampness, sweat... It was an unholy mixture of countless odors.

It was so bad that Chen Xing had to put on her gas mask again.

Meng Hu, on the other hand, seemed insensitive to the smell and remained vigilant, staying close to his master.

Just as she was about to enter the transfer station, her sharp eyes spotted something crawling across the open ground ahead, packed so densely it covered the floor.

’They’re definitely monsters, but not the wall-crawlers from before.’

These monsters seemed to slither along the ground, so numerous that there wasn’t a single patch of empty floor.

To reach Line 2, Chen Xing had to get through this area. The only alternative was a massive detour.

Just then, one of the distant monsters appeared before Chen Xing as if it had used Instant Teleportation.

Its soft, snake-like body tried to coil around Chen Xing.

CRUNCH! With a single bite, Meng Hu crushed the monster’s head to pieces.

But a second later, Meng Hu swayed and collapsed.

’This thing is poisonous!’

Chen Xing immediately moved Meng Hu into the spring water in her spatial pocket. At the same time, she plucked a Little Poison Grass and brought it out.

Just then, the snake-like monster that had teleported in front of her suddenly went limp and collapsed.

Holding the Little Grass, Chen Xing moved quickly toward the swarm of monsters.

One by one, the monsters collapsed.

’It would be a waste to just leave all these Crystal Cores.’

So, Chen Xing brought out her little dinosaur monster.

The creature had originally been infected by the zombie virus, so it was immune. It went about its work, taking out the incapacitated monsters one bite at a time and collecting their Crystal Cores.

It moved down the line, collecting the Crystal Cores with perfect efficiency.

By now, Meng Hu had fully recovered; the poison was neutralized.

Chen Xing swapped her two small pets again.

Once they were past the swarm of monsters, the path ahead was much clearer.

Soon, she reached the transfer station for Line 2.

After a long search, she finally found the original entrance to the Duole Safety Zone.

The entrance was completely sealed off by a thick, solid concrete wall.

Chen Xing shattered the wall with a single punch.

The Superpower Users on the other side, who had been about to smash through the wall themselves: ”...”

”Chen Xing?” Song Yiguo and Vice General Du couldn’t believe it.

’Isn’t Chen Xing supposed to be in Hualai City? How did she suddenly appear here?’

”I was passing through on my way to Buddha City and saw the explosion, so I came to see what happened.”

”We’re not sure!” Song Yiguo had heard the explosion while he was in a meeting with Vice General Du.

It shook the underground safety zone for a long time.

By the time they tried to investigate, they found the exits were completely blocked. There was no way out.

That’s when they thought of the previously sealed subway entrance.

Suddenly, a monster charged from behind Chen Xing. With a flick of her wrist, she sent a current of electricity through it, dropping it to the ground.

”Is your safety zone unusable now?” Chen Xing asked, peering inside. It didn’t look particularly damaged.

”The safety zone has anti-shock and blast-proof systems, so it wasn’t affected! But I don’t know what happened to the people living on the surface,” Vice General Du said, worried.

There were still some people living in the buildings on the surface.

Only a few dozen, all of whom were unwilling to leave the Capital City but couldn’t get into the safety zone.

Anyone willing to leave had been sent to nearby safety zones long ago.

”There are no survivors on the surface,” Chen Xing said, briefly explaining what she had seen.

Just then, another explosion thundered from above, the shockwave knocking many people to the ground.

”That bomb didn’t feel like it was fired from a distance,” Chen Xing said. Even underground, she could sense it.

The bomb had detonated directly overhead.

’Does that mean this explosion was likely an inside job, done by someone within the Capital City?’

Song Yiguo seemed confused by her meaning and stared blankly for a moment.

”We need to get out of here first, before the Duole Safety Zone collapses from the bombing.” Chen Xing had no desire to be buried alive.

’I thought it was a one-time explosion, which is why I came down to check.’

’But at this rate, if I stay any longer, I’m going to get buried alive.’

She immediately took Meng Hu and sprinted toward the far end of Line 2.

’As long as I can find an exit somewhere far from the Duole Safety Zone, I can dig my way out if I have to.’

Seeing her run, Song Yiguo instinctively followed.

They hadn’t run far when several monsters leaped out at a transfer station junction and began attacking the Superpower Users.

The Superpower Users narrowly dodged the first wave, but as chaos erupted at the junction, more crawling monsters swarmed out, instantly scattering their group.

The group was split in two. A continuous stream of monsters poured from the middle, attacking both sides with claws and projectile tongues.
