The Moon Rises

But clearly, she wouldn't take her eyes off Maria until this danger was gone.

Especially since he still didn't understand how the other party could appear in front of him unscathed from the explosion...

"Yeah..."

Maria didn't say much, but simply nodded silently before turning and leaving.

W, meanwhile, stared intently at the opponent's back, as if raising the bomb in his hand.

But in the end, she put her hand down.

Forget it, let's not cause any more trouble.

Just as she was considering whether to rest for a while before continuing or to leave directly, Maria suddenly turned back.

"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

W looked a little impatient.

But Maria remained as calm as ever.

How do I get upstairs?

"Huh?" An exaggerated expression of mockery and confusion appeared on W's face. "Why don't you just leave... damn it!"

w stopped mid-sentence.

She noticed that the area right next to her, where the stairs should have led to the upper floor, was now completely dilapidated.

Those were the victims of the explosions she caused as she fell, in an attempt to slow her descent.

This made her a little impatient.

"There is none left."

"There is none left?"

"Yeah, that's it. I broke it... What else could I do?"

W is starting to slack off a bit.

She didn't know if the woman in front of her would hold a grudge against her for this, but she had come to terms with it.

Yes, I broke the staircase. What can you do about it? Hit me?

"... So, you mean there's no other way?"

"Yes, all you need is to be able to jump three floors in one leap. If you have that ability, you can go upstairs."

w curled his lip.

But to her surprise, Maria nodded after thinking about it seriously for a few moments.

"If that's the case, then please show me the way."

"Ha?"

W's expression was quite subtle.

She looked at the woman in front of her once more.

There's no Originium on his head, so why is he spouting such strange things?

It's important to understand that jumping and long jump are two different things. Just because you can jump two or three times the normal distance with a running start doesn't mean you can jump two or three times the normal height with a running start.

Jumping three floors in one go?

Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

Or is it... that the other party's Originium Arts are rather special?

w is thinking.

But soon, she had no time to think.

Seeing that W hadn't spoken yet, Maria simply picked him up and carried him away.

The overly intimate princess carry made W feel very uncomfortable.

"Hey? What do you want?"

"I need your directions."

Maria looked up at what was above her.

The once clearly visible interior of the building is now crumbling due to damage, and many parts are barely discernible.

One wrong step and she could easily fall.

Although Maria's current physical condition meant that failing a few times wouldn't be a problem, she didn't really want to act like a fool and repeatedly try to jump.

However, this choice clearly provoked w.

She had just tried to fight Talulah... but ended up running away in a sorry state.

Now Maria wants him to lead the way?

My body can't withstand the consequences of falling from a tall building again.

She immediately resisted.

Unfortunately, Maria wasn't as easy to talk to as she appeared.

She calmly grabbed the girl's ankle, preventing her from moving, and then didn't take a single step back with her right foot...

"Bang!"

In the blink of an eye, her body soared upwards!

And along with that came the shrill scream of a girl named W...

On the other side, the Star Chen team...

After Rhodes Island drew their attention, this group of Lungmen personnel quickly infiltrated the complex steel interior before them.

After spending more than ten minutes, they managed to reach the core power room despite the extremely high temperature.

The workers, drenched in sweat, began operating the complex machinery.

Due to the drastic lockdown, the internal temperature here has risen to an extreme level.

It was only because these tools from Ursus were so robust and durable that they did not break down.

Even so, every time the staff touched the instrument, it felt like they were touching a piece of red-hot metal.

But even worse than that, an even worse situation presented itself to them.

"I can't stop!"

While the staff were performing tests on the equipment, they were also reporting back to Ch'en Hui-chieh and the others on the other side.

His voice was distorted and sounded extremely terrified.

"The machinery here... no, the entire mobile platform's machinery, no longer connects to this area for energy transport... this place no longer serves a role in energy dispatch!"

To put it simply, I don't quite understand!

Hoshiguma responded loudly to the staff's question, then slammed her shield down hard on the Reunion Movement member in front of her.

She hasn't read many books; you can't possibly understand these things yourself.

"It was the Reunion Movement that transformed this place!"

Chen, standing to the side, was also fighting the enemies in front of him, wielding a standard weapon issued by the Lungmen Guard Department.

As swords clashed, blood was spilled time and again.

Behind her, the Chixiao remained firmly sheathed.

Compared to Hoshiguma, Ch'en Hui-chieh, who has studied abroad, is clearly a high achiever.

She immediately understood what the staff member meant.

But she didn't want to know the result.

"Where can we find it in the Reunion Movement's new energy allocation platform? We need to shut it down!"

Chen roared.

But the staff were covered in sweat.

The high temperatures not only made their combat operations extremely difficult, but even their thinking became incredibly challenging.

"I have no idea..."

"Um?"

"I don't know what the Reunion Movement has done. Logically, no matter where they move the control platform, I should be able to find some energy transport traces here, but... the data shows that no other energy channels are operating..."

"So what do you mean?"

Chen was getting a little anxious.

The high temperature scorched her body, and the sweat on her skin dried up quickly after it poured out.

If this continues, they will become dehydrated and exhausted in just a few minutes.

They need to finish this quickly!

"Unless..."

The staff member gritted his teeth as an extremely terrifying thought entered his mind.

If the Reunion Movement hasn't moved its energy distribution center elsewhere, then there's only one reason why they can't detect it on their end...

"Unless what?"

Ch'en Hui-chieh was a little annoyed.

At this point, the person still uttering the riddle would genuinely want to kill someone!

"Unless those people dedicate all of a city's energy to running mobile platforms... but that would..."

"What will happen?" Ch'en Hui-chieh continued to shout as she asked.

"This would cause irreversible damage to the entire mobile platform's operating mechanisms... and even worse, if evacuation is not carried out in time..."

"This mobile platform will become a bomb!"

Chapter 182 The Moon Rises

"But why are they doing this?"

The staff member went crazy... He simply couldn't understand what was happening!

He could understand that the other party wanted to seize the house, so they came carrying a bomb.

But he couldn't understand why the other party wanted to seize the house, bringing with them a bomb that even they couldn't stop!

Why is this for?

"So... that means this thing won't run into the Lungmen?"

Hoshiguma managed a slight smile, hoping it was good news.

Even she knew that the Reunion Movement would never be so mindless.

The words spoken by the staff now actually represent another message.

"Chernobog will self-destruct immediately after crashing into the Lungmen..."

Chen, gritting his teeth, reluctantly delivered this despairing news.

If Chernobog's situation is like crashing into the Lungmen, then while theirs is difficult, there is still some room for maneuver.

But if it's a self-destruction... then the entire Lungmen will be dragged down with them!

Even those areas not immediately affected by the explosion will be contaminated by the Originium dust emitted from the Chernobog Energy Center explosion!

Such a large-scale explosion was unavoidable...

The Reunion Movement didn't come with the initial idea of occupying Lungmen; they wanted to destroy the entire Lungmen!

This is absolutely insane!
