Super Zoo-Chapter 823 - 796: Bringing Disaster on Oneself Beyond Redemption_2

Su Meng held his breath and concentrated, his two large eyes staring intently as he struggled to hold his breath.

But this was not a sustainable solution. Suddenly, Suming thought of a scene from a TV show where, during a fire, urine was used to wet a cloth to cover the mouth and escape...

"Su Meng, urine isn't actually dirty. Many people even buy children's urine for health purposes. Although I'm no child, my urine is definitely much better than poison gas! Bear with it..." Suming said as he began to take off his pants and urinated to waterproof them.

Su Meng looked at Suming innocently.

Soon, Suming's shirt was soaked with urine, and without hesitation, he covered Su Meng's mouth with it.

"Cough cough cough..." Su Meng started coughing violently.

"How does it feel this time?!" Suming let out a sigh of relief, thankful that he had held a big bladder of urine on the way!

Unexpectedly, Su Meng shook his head vigorously and then vomited a large mouthful of blood, staining the urine-soaked cloth red.

"Damn, TV shows are all lies!" Suming was utterly frustrated.

Just then, after vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood, Su Meng's brain suddenly started working, and he gasped, pointing at the urine-soaked cloth, then at Suming and his own mouth, making several gestures!

Suming realized what he meant, and his heart immediately sank.

Oh, what a sin!

There's a cause and effect to everything, no one can escape it!

Having worked with Su Meng for so long, Suming instantly understood his meaning!

How could one avoid the harm of poison gas? By not breathing!

But can people stop breathing? Obviously not.

So how could Su Meng continue to breathe and avoid the harm of the poison gas? Clearly, someone or something had to supply him with oxygen.

The most common method was mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and here was a guy named Suming who was immune to the poison gas and could breathe normally...

Thus, the answer became obvious!

Looking at Su Meng's gaping, bloodied mouth, Suming almost wanted to cry. The things he had vomited, the blood, and the urine on the cloth...

Su Meng stared at Suming with a 'let's get on with it' stance.

"Damn!"

...

How the two of them got through the underground pipes into the interior of the castle, Suming really didn't want to remember anymore. It was definitely not a pleasant experience, and it was fortunate that only he and Su Meng knew about it. If there had been one more person there, Suming suspected he would have considered silencing them for good!

No need to think about it, it was a must!

The entrance to the sewer happened to be located inside the underground laboratory of the castle. There was a complete power outage in the lab, and it was pitch black, you couldn't see anything at all.

"No, there's movement!"

Using the flashlight on the rifle, a shadow flashed by, and rustling sounds could be heard from around, clearly indicating something was moving, mixed with some strange noises that seemed to come and go.

When he expanded his spiritual power, he found that there were many animals in the basement, lurking in the darkness, probably dozens of them, including fierce beasts like crocodiles and leopards.

In the dark, these animals were wary of each other, ready to attack at any moment, and their animal instincts kicked in, completely unaware that poison gas was about to flood the area.

"Who's there!"

Just as Suming had sensed something with his spiritual power, a great force suddenly hit his shoulder, sending him flying into the air. Midair, his lower abdomen received a sharp blow, followed by a heavy hit to the waist—if it wasn't for his superhuman life force, he would have been severely injured or killed.

But then, the attacker who had targeted Suming was also sent flying, as Su Meng, like a barbaric warrior, slammed into him fiercely. The person flew several meters like a kite with a broken string, finally crashing heavily to the ground.

"You damned... cough cough... beasts..."

Ludmila had utterly despaired! After Nicole left the castle, all the gates of the cages were opened simultaneously. The animals and humans inside were momentarily stunned but then immediately fled their cages. She led a few survivors looking everywhere for a way out, only to quickly find that all the exits had been sealed shut; there was simply no escape. And with poison gas spewing out of several pipes, if not for the basement and the castle's vast area, they would have already been poisoned to death.

But the animals lacked such awareness. Once freed, the fierce beasts not only fought each other but also launched attacks on the humans.

Ordinary people couldn't possibly match these fierce beasts, especially since all the sources of light in the castle had been cut off. Even Ludmila, a special forces soldier, was powerless. Conversely, the animals' night vision gave them an advantage. Before long, another group of survivors was slaughtered by the animals.

Left with no choice, Ludmila and the last few survivors returned to the cages, locked themselves inside! They despaired to realize that, for the time being, the only safe place in the castle was inside these iron cages.

And as the poison gas continued to seep in, it wouldn't be long before they would be poisoned to death in these cages. It was overkill for that deranged woman to open all the cages before she left. It seemed her intention was to have these prisoners die in agony amidst despair.

When Ludmila heard footsteps and saw a glimmer of light, her first thought was that the people from the castle had returned! One couldn't blame her, as the rifle Suming was using was seized from the castle security; even the model of the tactical flashlight attached was the same. As a mercenary, Ludmila was all too familiar with these weapons; a single glance was enough for her to recognize them.

With the thought of 'fighting our way out, even if it means mutual destruction,' Ludmila launched a stealthy attack, which resulted in her being flung away as witnessed earlier.

The commotion of their struggle immediately attracted nearby fierce beasts. As Ludmila landed, a brown bear staggered over to her side, lowering its head to sniff.

"Never expected to be killed by beasts in the end..." Ludmila finally gave up resistance, resigning herself to fate.

Unexpectedly, the brown bear sniffed her hair but didn't bite; instead, it slapped away a hyena that tried to take advantage of the situation.

The light flickered, and a beam illuminated Ludmila's face, the intense glare causing her eyes to sting, making it impossible to see the person behind the light.

"Just kill me, I'll be waiting for you beasts in hell!" Ludmila said, grinding her teeth in anger.

The light lingered on her face for a few seconds, followed by a surprised "Huh" from the darkness.

"Ludmila, what are you doing here?" Suming was greatly surprised, having not expected to encounter Ludmila here.

Hearing this voice, Ludmila was dumbfounded.

It was him!

...

Like fellow countrymen meeting each other, eyes brimming with tears... After a brief reunion, Suming controlled the remaining animals, and Ludmila motioned for the three survivors to crawl out of the cages.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. He is a friend of the Russian people, here to rescue us!" Ludmila quickly introduced, to reassure the terrified survivors.

"But I'm also a native Huaxian!" Suming added, gesturing, "No time to talk, hurry up and move! Oh no, let's go!"

The castle's only way out was a massive, heavy iron gate—the castle's main entrance. The iron gate, half a foot thick, looked more like the gateway of a small city than a simple door and could typically be opened with the castle's ancient mechanism. Before Nicole left, she had sabotaged the mechanism; it was impossible to open by human strength alone.

But what human strength could not achieve, Su Meng might be able to. With a thunderous roar, the iron gate was slowly lifted to create a crack under the astonished gaze of everyone.

Still, it was far from enough. Veins bulging on his forehead, Su Meng struggled as the gap did not widen; there was even a tendency for the gate to fall back down.

Others tried to help but were powerless.

Suming activated an energy storage sphere from an elephant, the only one with strength-based power.

With a squeal, the iron gate slowly rose, leaving more than half a meter's gap from the ground.

"Go on first!"

Ludmila hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth and led the survivors and animals under the gate and out.

"Come out quickly!" Ludmila shouted anxiously from outside. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Suming and Su Meng exchanged a bitter smile; now that the two of them had lifted the gate, if any of them let go, the gate would immediately fall.

They simply dared not, nor could they move!

Just then, a harrowing roar echoed from within the castle. In the darkness, a 'monster' with a mouth open wide to its ears, filled with rotting teeth, nearly two meters tall, slowly approached them.
