Underground City Closes

"Yuan Yi is dead just like that? He was taken down by Brother Chen all by himself? He's so fragile!"

The fat man exclaimed incredulously upon receiving the notification that Task 2 was completed.

"It is indeed crispy, but if the Underground City hadn't run out of energy, we probably wouldn't even be able to get close to Yuan Yi."

Xiao Fan's voice came from the laboratory.

"That's true. If the Underground City has ample energy, it would be dangerous to even approach the Underground City, let alone Yuan Yi."

Blade Shadow recalled the suffocating feeling of being monitored by Yuan Yi when he first entered the Underground City, and agreed with Xiao Fan's words.

Fatty and the others entered the laboratory and saw Xiao Fan looking at the map on the screen.

At the edge of the Underground City, red and blue dots overlap.

"It seems that the City of Gods and Underground City are engaged in battle."

As soon as Xiao Fan finished speaking, the red warning light above the laboratory suddenly began to flash, followed by the sound of an alarm.

"Warning! Warning! The Underground City's energy is down to 1%. It has entered energy-saving mode. Please recharge immediately, or the Underground City will shut down completely!"

The next second, the laboratory lights, instruments, and even the large screen above all went dark.

"What? Completely shut down?" Everyone was shocked.

"Look outside!" Wind Snow Traveler pointed to the corridor, his face showing a hint of panic.

Xiao Fan turned his head and realized that it was already dark outside, with only a few dim emergency lights still on in the corridor.

Get out of here immediately!

Xiao Fan shouted anxiously at the others.

If he wasn't mistaken, closing the Underground City might be Yuan Yi's last line of defense.

Once the Underground City closes, I'm afraid no one will ever be able to get out again.

"Walk."

Xiao Fan and his group hurriedly ran outside.

As Xiao Fan ran to the door, he suddenly remembered something, stopped, and smacked Yang Dianfeng on the experimental table.

"Whether you live or die depends on your luck."

After saying that, Xiao Fan left in a hurry.

Not long after Xiao Fan and the others left, Yang Dianfeng woke up from his coma.

What's going on?!

Yang Dianfeng looked at the dark experiment room, where only the red light above kept flashing.

"Warning! Warning! The Underground City's energy is down to 0.9%. It has entered energy-saving mode. Please recharge immediately, or the Underground City will shut down completely!"

"Completely shut down!" Yang Dianfeng exclaimed in shock, his first reaction being to look at the Nearby Chat Channel.

Jiu Chen: Yuan Yi has been destroyed by us, but I was also chased by robots. If you wake up, see if you can leave the secret realm. If not, run quickly!

From those few words, combined with the scene he saw before he lost consciousness, Yang Dianfeng was able to imagine what had happened.

His first glance was at the option to exit the secret realm.

"The option is highlighted! That means... I can exit the dungeon now!"

Yang Dianfeng was so excited that he burst into tears.

"Hahaha, I can finally leave this secret realm!"

He had never experienced such panic when the game was first released.

Yang Dianfeng: Jiu Chen, you are my second parents! From now on, whether in the game or in real life, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west.

Seeing that Xiao Fan did not reply, Yang Dianfeng realized that Xiao Fan had said he was being chased by robots, and he was even more moved.

"It must have been Yuan Yi who summoned the powerful robot. In order for me to leave the secret realm, the Great God Jiu Chen risked his life to destroy Yuan Yi. Seeing that he was unconscious, he even thoughtfully lured the robot away."

Thinking of how his teammates of several years abandoned him without hesitation, while a complete stranger, a gaming god, saved him from dire straits.

Yang Dianfeng sneered, "Quan Lu! You will all die a horrible death!"

The alarms kept sounding. Yang Dianfeng sent a message in the Nearby Channel, telling Xiao Fan that he was leaving and wishing Xiao Fan a safe departure as well. He then exited the secret realm.

Xiao Fan and his group had no time to check the chat channel. When they left the building, they found that the entire Underground City had fallen into darkness. The blue sky, white clouds, and gentle breeze had all disappeared, and only a few guiding lights were still lit in the entire city.

A dark and damp atmosphere permeated the surroundings. Compared to the bright world before, the Underground City now truly felt like a city hidden underground.

The sirens continued to blare overhead.

"Warning! Warning! The Underground City's energy is down to 0.7%. It has entered energy-saving mode. Please recharge immediately, or the Underground City will shut down completely!"

In just a few minutes, over a decade, energy reserves have dwindled to a mere 0.7%.

The Underground City was huge. Xiao Fan calculated that this amount of energy was simply not enough to help them Underground City!

"Jiu Chen, I'm afraid there isn't enough time." Wind Snow Traveler's expression was grave.

Without saying a word, Xiao Fan took out the Sky Prison from his Space Ring.

"Get inside quickly, I can't fly you out."

As Xiao Fan spoke, he activated the skill <Partial Armor Transformation>, and a pair of large golden wings appeared on his back.

"Hey bro, why are you still keeping this thing?!"

The fat man looked shocked, but he didn't slow down and squeezed into the cage immediately.

Once everyone was inside the cage, Xiao Fan lifted them up and flew to a high place.

Xiao Fan quickly determined the direction and flew rapidly towards the City of Gods and Demons.

"Warning! Warning! The Underground City's energy is down to 0.5%. It has entered energy-saving mode. Please recharge immediately, or the Underground City will shut down completely!"

"This Underground City's energy consumption is too fast; it's down to only 0.5% in such a short time."

Swift as Wind's face turned pale.

"The battle Underground City and the city of gods and demons must be constantly consuming energy."

Qin Muyu looked ahead, her voice cold and clear.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan pushed his flight speed to the limit, activating the skill <Gift of the Saint> along the way to increase his flight speed.

"Warning! Warning! The Underground City's energy is down to 0.3%. It has entered energy-saving mode. Please recharge immediately, or the Underground City will shut down completely!"

"The consumption is getting faster and faster!" The hearts of everyone in the cage were in their throats.

"If there's not enough time, you can choose to leave the secret realm later."

Xiao Fan's voice came from above.

In the darkness, no one could see the location of the city gate, and Xiao Fan didn't know whether the players could still exit the secret realm after the city gate closed.

Xiao Fan can't gamble!

Before the Underground City closes, you must either exit the dungeon or leave the city.

"Warning! Warning! The Underground City's energy is down to 0.2%, now entering danger mode. Please recharge as soon as possible! Otherwise, the Underground City will shut down completely!"

High in the sky, Xiao Fan saw chaotic blue lights below.

"That is..."

"Gods and Underground City are at war!"

Xiao Fan immediately realized that the city gate was not far away!

"Warning! Warning! Underground City energy is down to 0.1%! Energy critically low, Underground City shutdown system initiating..."

As the sound rang out, all the directional lights that had been lit in the Underground City went out, plunging the area below into complete darkness.

Xiao Fan clearly felt a surge of energy rapidly approaching from behind him.

The Underground City's shutdown system expands outwards from the center!

"Brother Chen, shall we leave the secret realm now?"

The fat man's voice was accompanied by rapid breathing.

"Hurry up!"

As soon as Xiao Fan finished speaking, the fat man and the others felt the cage beneath them being thrown out, followed by a strong sense of weightlessness, which frightened them so much that they hurriedly grabbed the cage next to them.

"Jiu Chen!" Qin Muyu's voice was clearly heard in the darkness.

After throwing the cage in his hand with force, Xiao Fan instantly felt much lighter. He immediately activated his acceleration and flew at his maximum speed.

Upon hearing Qin Muyu's voice, Xiao Fan quickly flew over and kicked the cage hard, sending it flying further into the distance.

There was silence behind him; Xiao Fan could no longer sense the approaching energy.

"Call."

Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that he had flown out of the Underground City.

"Brother Chen, help!" The fat man's scream came from high above.

When the cage was less than a meter from the ground, Xiao Fan grabbed them and put them on the ground.

The fat man wobbled out of the cage and collapsed onto the ground.

Wow! That's so exciting!

Fortunately, they escaped the Underground City.

After a while, Xiao Fan and his group calmed down. Looking at the Underground City behind them, which had been completely reduced to darkness, everyone had mixed feelings.

After a long while, the fat man suddenly thought of something, and he felt terrible.

"Brother Chen, Dr. Xin is trapped in the Underground City. Does this mean we won't be able to complete the first mission?"

"A mission? What mission?"

A voice rang out.

"Of course, it's a secret realm quest."

The fat man answered instinctively, only realizing his mistake after he finished speaking.

That voice was unfamiliar; it wasn't from any of their team.

"Who!"

The fat man couldn't help but shudder and turn around.

In the darkness, an ice-blue heart beats incessantly in the distance, its faint light illuminating the surrounding bodies, creating a somewhat ethereal scene.

"I never imagined that his God Demon Stone had already become one with his heart."

Dr. Xin was the first person to have the God Demon Stone implanted in his heart. He experimented on himself and had the God Demon Stone embedded in his heart.

Over the years, his heart has long since turned into God Demon Stone.

"No wonder he could sense the presence of the God Demon Stone."

"What is that thing?!" the fat man exclaimed in terror.

"It's Dr. Xin," Blade Shadow reminded him.

"What!" The fat man immediately assumed a fighting stance.

"The God Demon Stone is on you."

Dr. Xin looked at the golden wings behind Xiao Fan. He hadn't forgotten that it was this human with golden wings who had taken the God Demon Stone.

"Brother Chen, shall we start the fight?" the fat man asked Xiao Fan.

In his eyes, everyone in the secret realm was an NPC, while Dr. Xin was the secret realm's BOSS.

Bosses are meant to be fought.

"Open," Xiao Fan said.

"Okay!"

A red light Entangle the white shield in his hand, and the fat man flew towards the blue heart.

With their long-standing tacit understanding, the others had already grabbed their weapons and flew towards Dr. Xin.

"Ignorant humans dare to resist the powerful forces of gods and demons."

As Dr. Xin's voice rang out, his blue heart beat faster and faster, and the sound grew louder and louder.

Thump--thump--

The voice seemed to carry a certain rhythm, constantly bewitching the crowd.

Xiao Fan's level was high, and his spirit was also high, so he was not affected at all.

But the rest of the people couldn't do that. They were only level 40, and under Xiao Fan's influence, they didn't allocate many points to Spirit.

In just a short while, the fat man and his companions were captivated by the sound of the heartbeat.

A look of confusion flashed across their eyes at first, then they stopped, turned around, and charged at Xiao Fan with their weapons in hand.

"Damn it! These unfilial children!"

While cursing, Xiao Fan activated the skill <The Gift of the Saint> to remove the abnormal statuses from everyone.
