Chapter 287: Chapter 160: Rich Harvest, Slaying the Tier Two Mid-Stage Corpse Wolf!

"So the Evolutionary Meat inside the Tier Two Corpse Wolves, especially the parts contaminated with Tier Three Wolf King Cells, isn’t polluted. We can just cut those parts off and take them directly."

"There might be some burning, but it doesn’t affect the overall use value."

After explaining, Zong Shiyue followed Lin Feng’s gaze towards the two tunnel entrances over ten meters high:

"However, the dissection and processing of the Tier Two Corpse Wolves can wait. For now, let’s continue with the main task."

Lin Feng nodded and inquired about the structure inside the tunnel:

"Is the space inside larger? The echo I hear is inconsistent. Could it be that the Tier Two Corpse Wolves have built dens inside?"

Zong Shiyue shook his head. He was very familiar with the construction back then, or rather, most of the structure was personally excavated by him using manpower.

When a Tier Three King fully unleashes its power, its strength is comparable to that of a heavy shield tunneling machine, possessing the ability to flatten mountains and redirect seas by altering the natural environment. For them, tasks like tunneling and road opening are trivial.

Zong Shiyue raised his hand, pointing to the tunnel entrance:

"The tunnel leading to the Taishan Ruins is 22 kilometers long, and at the 8-kilometer and 16-kilometer marks, there are two hidden emergency shelters, each about one kilometer in size, capable of sustaining over ten thousand people. These were preemptively prepared as emergency plans in case of any disaster at the shelters."

"Moreover, they are built on two underground riverbeds, rich in water resources, operating independently through geothermal power and water circulation for thousands of years."

"Unfortunately, both transit points were breached by the Desert Wolves. Currently, they are guarded by two Tier Two Mid-Stage Corpse Wolves and, at 16 kilometers away, a powerful Late Tier Two Corpse Wolf."

Lin Feng furrowed his brow, the low growling sound in his ears growing heavier, making it difficult to distinguish whether it was whispered madness from mental contamination or imminent danger: 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Are the two node passages interconnected?"

Zong Shiyue nodded:

"Not just interconnected, they’re completely seamless!"

"After progressing a few hundred meters inside, to speed up the construction progress—mainly because the offshore Planet Engine had already ignited—I directly used brute force to break through a 40-meter wide and 15-meter high passage!"

"This essentially merged the two tunnels together, allowing the Tier Two Corpse Wolves to traverse through, which later became the root cause of their invasion..."

"So, I suggest running to the 6-kilometer point before carrying out a large-scale bombardment."

"If we collapse the tunnel right here, the collapse zone inside will be very short, making it possible for the Tier Two Corpse Wolves to excavate and clear a new passage. Don’t forget, they’re very skilled at digging holes."

"For now, it’s best to collapse even the emergency shelter at the bottom altogether!"

"Don’t worry, those Mid-Stage Desert Wolves are 20 meters long and 10 meters high, only able to move freely alone inside the tunnels."

"If two walk side by side, they wouldn’t even be able to turn around; they’d be sitting ducks."

"If they dare to approach, just open fire!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath, seeing that the two tunnels on the left and right had merged into one, he hesitated no longer, stepping forward and choosing the deep tunnel on the right, he entered fearlessly.

At this moment, it had been twenty minutes since he activated the Power Armor, leaving about an hour of operational time remaining. Even with the time for bombardment and return, covering the 5-6 kilometer distance should be entirely feasible.

In the pitch-black tunnel, increasingly clear low growls mixed with the drip-drop sound of falling water echoed through the passage.

Particularly when Lin Feng stepped out of the separating doorway into the fused large tunnel, the ambient noise in his ears and mind became more drawn out and lingering.

This indicated that the source of the sound was not just from one location.

Deep within the large tunnel, there was more than one Tier Two Corpse Wolf, and there were several places where water leakage was present.

Though Zong Shiyue praised the tunnel as being robust, years of neglect have seen many welded joints develop seepage.

Over time, water drops wear away rock, leading to substantial structural degradation.

Perhaps just a few shots from the Armor-Piercing Cannon could make the cement walls in the tunnel’s roof collapse, causing a series of tunnel collapses.

Fortunately, Lin Feng had refrained from recklessly using his firearms to probe. A careless shot might collapse a region unexpectedly, resulting in a net loss.

Seeing Lin Feng’s hesitance, Zong Shiyue spoke up to remind him:

"Although it’s not as strong as it once was, your slightly less powerful Long Cannon should handle it."

"Now, the light doesn’t reach a hundred meters, I’ve called in three Mutant Kings to help scout the path. Hang on, they’re arriving shortly."

Shortly after Zong Shiyue finished speaking, a series of footsteps suddenly came from behind Lin Feng.

Moments later, they saw three figures crawling quickly past Lin Feng, moving toward the depth of the tunnel.

The three Tier Three Mutants were the maximum Zong Shiyue could control at present.

Had it not been for most of the Original Flesh being packed into the Black Box, he could control at least over ten Tier Three Distortion Kings simultaneously.

However, even with the boost of Tier Three Cells, these Mutants were far from possessing Tier Three strength, and no matter how many there were, they couldn’t handle whole packs of Clan Leader Level Tier Two Corpse Wolves.

Especially in the eyes of a Late Tier Two Corpse Wolf, a Tier Three Distortion King is nothing more than a bite-sized dessert.

But they were more than competent now for pathfinding, to help Lin Feng detect the enemy’s situation.

With the two Early Stage Corpse Wolves guarding the tunnel entrance swiftly eliminated, and guided by the three Tier Three Mutants, Lin Feng, clad in his Power Armor, moved at a brisk hundred meters per second, traversing unobstructed on the tunnel tracks.
