CHAPTER 695: 【689】QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE 25 (2 MORE)

Zhu Li had no idea how many days she had been detained; during those days, not a single person came to see her, nor did they bring her anything.

It seemed that these people had thoroughly investigated her beforehand, otherwise, they wouldn’t have neglected a hostage like her so carelessly.

Her eating, drinking, and sleeping were all confined to the space; she avoided consuming things from the space unless necessary, mainly fearing that she would become complacent, so every day she forced herself to make do with whatever she could generate.

Initially, she had not dared to be so bold, especially since she discovered that there was a camera installed inside the metal cabinet.

Three years after the apocalypse, the fact that cameras were still being installed proved that her enemies were more formidable than she had imagined.

She took some strips of cloth from the space and covered up the entire room, ensuring that neither hidden nor obvious cameras could capture any information about her.

Having food and drink was pleasant, but only if she didn’t have to stay inside this wretched metal cabinet.

So, she began to devise a way to rescue herself, using the assortment of tools in her space, and started with a screwdriver to carefully drill tiny holes in the four corners. If she could make just a small opening, she could use a seed to roll herself out of the cage through the space.

When Little White reached the base of the mountain, Sima Yi sensed it and sneered sinisterly as he watched his brother in the surveillance footage.

"It seems this woman is more useful to you than I thought, brother. Let’s see how you manage to rescue someone from me under the interference of the meteorite!"

Little White had started feeling unwell when he was still fifty miles away; the closer he got, the louder the buzzing in his head.

By the time he reached the foot of the mountain, his head was throbbing unbearably. But the thought of Sima Yi’s tactics made him worry about the suffering his woman might have endured in his absence, and he had pushed himself to the limit to get there.

From the foot to the summit, though it seemed calm, he noticed several cameras watching him.

His pale face turned extremely grim as he stared, as if he were looking directly at Sima Yi himself.

"You had better pray she’s unharmed!"

He muttered to one of the cameras before continuing his arduous walk toward the summit.

Watching his struggle, Sima Yi, dressed in a black cloak with a hood, revealed a bloodthirsty smirk.

The excitement and frenzy flickering in his eyes made him appear even more sinister and terrifying, especially when a gust of wind revealed half of his disfigured face, sending his entire image in an even more deranged direction.

Such a state of madness wasn’t typical of a sane person, no wonder Little White referred to him as a madman.

Such behavior, such emotional outbursts, if not of a madman, then what?

With every step Little White took, he felt an overwhelming pain as if Mount Tai were pressing down on him. The pressure was like trying to squeeze water out of a massive sponge with your head; if your strength was insufficient, you’d be bounced back. If you couldn’t squeeze the water out, you couldn’t move forward, and if you couldn’t move forward, you couldn’t rescue Zhu Li. Thus, every single step he took consumed both his spiritual power and his physical strength.

The meteorite might be useless to others, but because Little White was mutated by something extracted from the meteorite, its impact was unimaginable for ordinary people.

A mountain that ordinary people could climb in an hour took Little White three whole days.

By the time he finally made it to the top and saw the iron box being roasted over the fire, his long-suppressed rage completely erupted.

"Sima... Yi, you, shameless!"

"Relax, she won’t die. Isn’t she a Water Power User? A little fire can’t melt her. What you need to do now is to obediently follow me into the lab and let us see why you haven’t turned into a regular zombie. Not only can you talk, but you also have human thinking ability, becoming a real Undead. Bro, do you know how excited I am? This means my research is successful. Don’t worry, as long as you cooperate, I’ll make sure to return her to you safe and unharmed."

Little White’s fists were almost deformed from clenching: "How, can I, know, that, the person, inside, is, her?"

"Fine, then I’ll thoroughly dishearten you."

The next instant, the iron box was opened, and Zhu Li was inside, using water to douse the red-hot ground; she was suffocating due to the heat. When the iron box was opened, she tried to rush out, but an ice blade swept over, sealing the entire iron box in ice, leaving her pressed against the doorway, shouting and pounding at Little White.

The fire beneath the iron hut had extinguished, and the rapid shift from hot to cold was not only a test for Zhu Li but also a torment for Little White.

At that moment, Little White was exhausted, weakly leaning against a tree stump; he stared at Zhu Li for a while, then painfully closed his eyes.

"I agree, let her go."

"Once you enter the lab, I’ll immediately release you."

Sima Yi knew Zhu Li’s strength well, and though his Wind Element was powerful, and Hurricane Castle had strong wood and Water Powers, none matched this woman with dual Superpower abilities. She was a treasure, how could he give her up to his brother?

Of course, he was reluctant to let her die just like that; he still wanted to enjoy her company himself!

However, the precondition was to fool this naive brother first. With the meteorite in the lab, he could fully control him.

Such a powerful Zombie King, if used for himself, wouldn’t the world then fall into his hands?

Little White could do nothing now, but to ensure Zhu Li’s safety, even though he was reluctant, he had to follow this madman’s orders.

The moment they reached the underground lab, a surge of Vigorous Force smashed toward him, and he was knocked out before he could even react.

In an instant, everyone gathered and headed to the underground lab, naturally leaving no one to watch over Zhu Li.

Zhu Li had drilled in the iron for two days without making a hole, already realizing that this iron layer wasn’t ordinary. Now that the iron door was opened and she was trapped here with no one watching, if she just sat and waited, that would be foolish.

She burned an iron rod in "space," and inserted it directly into the ice block, but it wasn’t long enough. After changing rods three times and struggling for half an hour, she finally made a hole. Then, she used a high-pressure water gun to break it open and, holding a red-hot steel ball, dashed into "space," using the momentum to slide out of the frozen hut...
