This kick was delivered with all of Li Zhonglou's strength. While the black snake man was still in mid-air, the bones within his body shattered. When he landed, he was unable to even get up.
However, he was still alive.
Black blood continuously flowed from the corners of his mouth, yet his face still held that frenzied smile as he crawled towards Li Zhonglou.
This time, Li Zhonglou did not pay him any mind. Instead, he quickly retreated and hurried back the way he came.
He knew very well what this red dot was, but he wasn't sure of its actual power, or if there was still time!
At Li Zhonglou's current maximum speed, it only took a few breaths to return to the entrance.
Aniu and Green Ox were still waiting quietly in their original positions.
"What's wrong?"
Aniu saw Li Zhonglou suddenly appear, his expression slightly tense, and he instinctively asked. However, he was suddenly scooped up by Li Zhonglou.
"Carry your boss properly!"
With just enough time to give that instruction, Li Zhonglou leaped out of the secret passage with him. At that very moment, a blast of heat quickly swept towards the three of them from behind, and Aniu felt a searing sensation.
Boom!
This was followed by a deafening roar.
But fortunately, Li Zhonglou's reaction was swift enough. He charged out of the restroom, almost brushing against the fire snake behind him, and then out into the corridor outside.
Crash.
The violent explosion instantly reduced the restroom to rubble. Its aftershock also pulverized all the fragile items in the corridor outside, even shattering the glass a hundred meters away!
The destructive power of the blast was evident!
Outside the international airport, the sudden explosion also drew the attention of all the police officers.
Lin Qianqian's expression immediately changed. She quickly called out to the subordinate beside her, "Quick, send someone to see what's happening!"
"Received!"
Watching her subordinate hurry away, Lin Qianqian inexplicably felt a sense of unease.
However, Liu Zhong also called her back to continue guarding Zone One. There had been no news from there yet, so it was likely that the situation was stable.
What Lin Qianqian did not expect was that the reason there was no news was not because everything inside was stable, but because all exits had been sealed.
At the entrance to the lobby of Zone One.
From the outside, several police officers were diligently performing their duties, each guarding a specific area. There seemed to be no problem. But if one got closer, they would notice that the uniforms worn by these police officers were not particularly well-fitting.
Behind the counter of the lobby's front desk, over a dozen corpses were stuffed, some of whom were still wearing police uniforms.
As for the person in charge, Liu Zhong, he had also disappeared.
The situation was identical not only in Zone One but also in Zones Two, Three, and Four. However, because the signal for the entire airport had been jammed, outsiders were completely unaware. As for the fleeing passengers, they were naturally ignorant of the situation.
Only Li Zhonglou, who had safely escaped with the two of them, quickly sensed that something was amiss.
Lin Qianqian had told him about her arrangements before he entered. She had dispatched police forces to patrol the zones specifically to deter any gangs vying for control, emphasizing that Shangjing was still under the jurisdiction of the General Bureau.
Disorder was not tolerated!
Therefore, all four zones had spacious areas designated as security centers, which would also facilitate the evacuation of stranded passengers.
And Li Zhonglou and the other two were currently in a spacious area, yet they did not see a single police officer.
"Is this not the place?"
Li Zhonglou recalled the terrain of the entire airport he had observed earlier using his Heavenly Eye X-ray ability. But he soon realized that this should have been the center of a zone.
Could it be next door?
There was another lounge a hundred meters away around the corner, but it was half the size of this place. Li Zhonglou wondered if it was there.
However, he didn't have the mind to go and check, as it wasn't on his way.
"Um, where are we going now?"
Aniu, who was following behind, couldn't help but ask again. Li Zhonglou sighed and said, "The secret passage has been blown up, so we have to go out from somewhere else. The police deliberately left an opening on the north side, so let's go from there."
"What if we encounter other gang members again?" Aniu was still a bit worried.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Li Zhonglou's strength, but he was afraid it would delay Green Ox's rescue. After all, everything had seemed to be going smoothly just moments ago, but now the exit had been blown up.
Coupled with Green Ox's spitting blood, Aniu's anxiety grew with each passing moment.
Li Zhonglou could see his thoughts. After all, Green Ox's condition was evident to all. He couldn't help but comfort him, "Don't worry, I'll get you out as soon as possible. I'm not doing all this just for the materials; he can't die."
Aniu's expression eased slightly upon hearing this. Li Zhonglou patted his shoulder, "You're the most loyal subordinate I've ever met."
Aniu didn't reply but suddenly lowered his head.
At this moment, the two of them were located at the western edge of the airport. The secret passage dug by Green Ox was in the westernmost restroom. To reach the north exit, they first had to circle around the center.
This was because the airport's routes were not along the entire perimeter. The two protruding sections on the west were both within the airport runway area. For safety reasons, the airport had sealed off the entire vicinity.
Therefore, to exit through the north passage from this location, the three of them had to return to the central rest area first.
Li Zhonglou was aware of Green Ox's condition, so he didn't delay, leading Aniu quickly towards the center.
However, just as he was about to reach the central area, a figure suddenly flashed before his eyes.
When Li Zhonglou realized who the figure belonged to, his expression suddenly changed.
"Long Fei?"
The figure that had flashed past from the end of the corridor was none other than Long Fei!
But unlike his usual calm and steady demeanor, the figure that had flashed by was panicked, as if he was fleeing from something?
And his hand, although Long Fei was moving very fast, Li Zhonglou had not yet removed the soul fusion. How could his figure escape Li Zhonglou's sight? In that fleeting moment, Li Zhonglou clearly saw that Long Fei's entire right hand had been severed at the root!
What on earth had happened?
Li Zhonglou was shocked, and at the same time, his mind suddenly recalled the terrifying aura he had felt earlier when he was rushing the two to the secret passage.
Could it be related to that?
Li Zhonglou's steps suddenly halted.
His action undoubtedly startled Aniu, who thought they had encountered some danger. He immediately hid behind him and cautiously surveyed their surroundings.
However, after a long while, he found nothing unusual.
"Um..."
As Aniu spoke, Li Zhonglou suddenly turned around and scooped him up.
"What's wrong again?"
"Bear with it for a moment!"
Li Zhonglou did not explain. He carried Aniu horizontally on his shoulder, and also carefully carried Green Ox on his back.
