Huang Liang quickly recalled the lessons he had taken, speaking as he thought:
"An Ke."
"There should be something like a nuclear reactor down below, but under normal circumstances, there's no way we can detonate it. Even if we did, a reactor wouldn't explode like a nuclear bomb."
"Unless it's an old graphite reactor, like Chernobyl last century. If we damage one of those, we might have a chance of triggering a hydrogen explosion."
"Otherwise, even if we destroy the reactor, its nuclear fuel will only release high-energy radiation. That'll have a hard time killing those monsters."
This was beyond An Ke's knowledge, and she froze for a moment. Then Ye Lin nodded, confirming that Huang Liang was right:
"It comes down to luck. An old reactor would be best, but the key is separating these three Echo Demons. With all three hunting us at once, we have no chance of fighting them."
"If we split them up, there's hope. We can find a way to concentrate our strength and kill one first."
"Aroro can cut the power for us if he stays there. If we reach an area that requires authorization, he can also save us time at a critical moment."
When Ye Lin finished, Lin Yu gave him a startled look. An Ke and the others said nothing more, merely tightening their grips on their weapons.
With so little time, that was all Ye Lin could arrange.
As for whether Aroro would die, that depended entirely on him.
Just like them-none of them knew whether they would make it out alive, either.
"Then, Ye Lin, could we..."
Before An Ke could voice the idea that had just occurred to her, a violent tremor suddenly came from overhead.
Metal groaned, followed by a barrage of harsh, teeth-grating sounds of
