Chapter 2216 - Bloody Abattoir!
2216 Bloody Abattoir!
All in all, the situation inside the Godly Might Prison was already out of control. While the guards that were still well-organized were watching over the periphery of the prison, it was impossible for them to rush into the furious vortex and settle the situation that was even more chaotic than a volcano eruption or a tsunami.
Li Yao, on the other hand, had not even begun his infiltration yet. He was still at the underground port, which was the entrance to the prison.
The area where General Lei Chenghu was secretly caged was naturally at the deepest part of the Godly Might Prison.
The map of the entire Godly Might Prison popped up inside Li Yao’s head. Every underground building and every pathway swirled, collided, and joined each other, while he analyzed the shortest route from his place to the target area.
It was a pity that, to arrive at the target area through the shortest route, he would have to pass the areas where the felons were locked, and then the areas where the captives of the Covenant Alliance were locked, before he finally reached a maintenance channel that would allow him to slide into the minus sixteenth floor where General Lei Chenghu was imprisoned.
If he did not want to pass through the two highly dangerous and chaotic areas, he would have to bypass the main body of the Godly Might Prison and slowly sneak in through the zigzagging ventilation tubes and maintenance channels. But naturally, those tubes were now teeming with guards who were panicked and highly vigilant. He could not pass by them easily either.
“The assassins of the Covenant Alliance might reach Lei Chenghu at any moment.”
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. “Also, the Godly Might Prison may transfer Lei Chenghu to a new location. Even the deputy warden who has joined the reformists may not know that we have to seize every second right now. So, I have to pass the area where the felons and the captives of the Covenant Alliance are rioting despite the risks!”
While analyzing the route and drafting the battle plans, Li Yao took off all the clothes of the captain of jailors who had passed out. The captain was of similar body size to Li Yao, and their postures were quite identical too. It was one of the reasons why Li Yao had chosen him.
However, right when Li Yao was about to sneak into the fog and smoke without alerting anyone, he somehow noticed that the vibe was not right.
He raised his head, only to discover that a team of jailors had arrived from the mist. They were staring at him, the guard uniform in his hands, and the naked captain below his feet in bewilderment.
“Well…”
Glancing at the orange prison uniform that he was wearing right now, Li Yao said solemnly, “Calm down, everyone. I can totally explain this!”
“The Covenant Alliance’s spy!”
The few jailors exclaimed at the same time.
“How can I be a spy from the Covenant Alliance?”
Li Yao shouted and pointed at his face which was changing fast. “Do you see it? I can cry, I can laugh, I have feelings. I was just somehow unfrozen because of the faults in the hibernation cabin…”
“An advanced spy of the Covenant Alliance who has been instilled with virtual emotions and can simulate human beings!”
The jailors shouted aloud. Their scream attracted even more companions and war puppets. Li Yao had no chance to defend himself at all when their barrage came at him from all directions like a tide, trying to drag him into the swirl of destruction.
“You’ve got to be kidding me!”
Li Yao had to release more smoke grenades and flashbangs from his Cosmos Ring. Under the boost of the blast, he flew out agilely, dodging the first round of attack of the jailors.
The jailors were not of high levels, and he could take care of a hundred of them in the blink of an eye.
However, after a hundred of them were down, another hundred would come, with ten times more beast puppets. There was no telling how many more reinforcements were arriving at the place incessantly.
However modified and strengthened the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was, it could only accommodate a limited amount of fuel and ammunition!
Li Yao had no choice but to flee in a hurry!
Shua!
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit spurted out of his Cosmos Ring in dozens of lights that seemed to be alive and covered his body instantly. Under the illumination of the fire and smoke, the lights consolidated into a hideous and fancy armor. A hundred super tiny flying swords no thicker than hair were shot out in swooshing sounds and turned into running stars under the enhancement of Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts, disrupting the attacks of all the jailors. Li Yao took the opportunity to rush at the depths of the Godly Might Prison!
The first gate from the port to the inside of the Godly Might Prison had long been closed, but it could not stop Li Yao at all. While the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was still in midair, the four black crystals from the mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor were condensed and began to revolve rapidly like a drill.
The speed of the revolution was so high that the entire underground port was filled by the roars of the black crystals. In the next second, they crashed into the gate heavily, leaving long black flames behind.
Sparks were splashing, and melted metals were running. A hole one meter in diameter was dug on the gate that weighed ten thousand tons, with lackluster orange colors inside, implying that it had been melted. In the next second, Li Yao already crawled through the hole in the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. He then turned out and launched the cannons, blowing back a few of his pursuers who intended to follow him through the hole. He also blew up the control panel of the gate nearby so that the jailors outside would not be able to open the gate for the time being.
After everything was done, and when Li Yao landed again, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had already retreated into the Cosmos Ring, and the prisoner’s uniform on his body had been replaced by the jailor’s uniform.
Even the universe was now ragged and riddled with holes. The epaulet that suggested his class had been ripped off. His badge and his brassard that showed his identity were contaminated by the smoke and blood too. Even his face was twisted and blackened, as if he just had a meltdown because of the unexpected attack!
The inside of the Godly Might Prison, however, was a hundred times more chaotic than the port.
The attack of the Covenant Alliance on the Godly Might Prison couldn’t have been improvised. They probably did have a plan of prison break before, and they knew the tectonic environment nearby as well as the fatal weaknesses of the Godly Might Prison’s defense system perfectly.
First, they introduced magma and earthquakes to sabotage the energy supply system. Then, they hacked the defense network and implanted viruses, setting tremendous prisoners free. After that, they threw highly poisonous and corrosive gas into the ventilation tubes. As a result, what was unfolded before Li Yao’s eyes was exactly an abyss of horror.
Explosions, screams, ecstatic howls, and raging venomous fog were everywhere.
Naturally, jailors that were running amok like headless flies were everywhere too.
A prison that was impenetrable and nobody had ever escaped from seemed to be a paradox.
It was exactly because nobody had ever escaped from it and nobody had even thought of attacking such a prison that the jailors here had never received real tests.
Any ambitious, capable Immortal Cultivator who craved to distinguish themselves would not be content to work here, where they would live their entire life unknown.
It was not hard to imagine the quality of the jailors that were eventually distributed to the place.
It was especially so today, when the Imperium’s counterattack had been fought for more than ten years, with glorious accomplishments in the frontline. The Immortal Cultivators that had the slightest ambitions and connections had all found a way to be dispatched to the frontline where they could fish for military credits.
The jailors that were left behind in this place were not prepared for such a hard battle at all!
The smoke that was as intense as ink was spreading in the entire Godly Might Prison. Many places were so dark that one could not even see his own fingers. Coughing people with bloodshot eyes were everywhere, which was rather convenient for Li Yao to sneak in.
With the blackened uniform on his body, his unsteady posture, and his vivid acting skills, it took Li Yao only two minutes to reach the minus third floor.
But that seemed to be as far as his luck went.
A team of organized guards, which had a commander who was rather calm and dutiful, gathered the wandering jailors and forced them to charge into the No.1 district together.
The No. 1 district was exactly the area where the felons were locked.
The felons who were qualified to be locked here had been sentenced to imprisonment for at least five hundred years. They were the beasts of beasts.
When the gate was opened, what Li Yao saw was ten thousand times more splendid and dreadful than what he had seen in the beehive prison in “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”.
Without the suppression of barriers and the threat of electric arcs, the most solid iron bars were nothing more than matches in the hands of those prisoners. Strangling and breaking their restraints, they dashed out of their cells and joined each other like ravenous beasts, venting their brutality on the jailors who were utterly caught unprepared.
Seeing that a new batch of jailors had arrived, the ferocious monsters roared and grimaced, pushing forward at the gate in a seething tide.
Although the jailors were few in number, their firepower was at an absolute advantage. The first barrage of their firearms already blew countless prisoners into smithereens.
If it were any common prison, such overwhelming firepower would have been enough to settle any “riot”.
However, for the prisoners who were locked in this place, their animality was further raised when they smelled the intense scent of flesh and blood.
Besides, many prisoners had looted weapons from the jailors. The venomous gas spurting out of the ventilation tubes seemed to boast certain elements that could stimulate the central nerves and the secretion of adrenalin. They turned the prisoners to be more excited than ever!
The felons launched a second round of attack fearlessly.
The formation of the jailors began to loosen. Some hesitated, and some even retreated.
What gave them a fatal blow, however, was the “metal bees” that flew out of nowhere.
Those secret weapons of the Covenant Alliance had just caused great trouble on the guards in the underground port just now. At this moment, they were exploding in the gaps on the helmets and armors of the jailors again.
Although they did not kill or hurt all the jailors, they still caused great chaos.
While the jailors were in a hurry dealing with the “metal bees”, the ferocious prisoners had already lunged at them. That was a bunch of lunatics who were bold enough to bite crystal suits with their teeth.
The most brutal head-on clash began!
