God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

The cold touch of the corpse struck Chu Feng like an electric current. He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and continued to explore.

The air was filled with a nauseating mixture of rust and blood.

Pan Yue's face became paler and paler. He gripped the weapon tightly in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

"This is more than just a secret, Pan Yue," Chu Feng's voice was low, "This is a slaughterhouse."

Chu Feng continued to investigate in depth with doubts.

Under the dim light, the scratches on the wall seem to silently tell of the brutal battle that once took place here.

He discovered a passage leading to the core confidential area of ​​the fortress. The passage was hidden very deeply and almost merged with the wall. If it were not for Chu Feng's keen observation, it would probably be difficult to find.

The entrance to the passage is surrounded by various complex protective devices, flashing with a faint blue light, like a dormant poisonous snake, which is chilling.

"Chu Feng, it's too dangerous here, we..." Su Yao's voice trembled slightly. She tightly grasped the corner of Chu Feng's clothes, and her worry was beyond words.

She was just a mechanic, and faced with this environment full of unknown dangers, she instinctively felt fear.

"I know, Su Yao, but we have to find out what happened here." Chu Feng patted Su Yao's hand gently and gave her a reassuring look.

He understood Su Yao's fear, but he knew even more clearly that if they retreated now, they would never be able to uncover the truth behind the fortress, nor would they be able to seek justice for the dead Night's Watchmen.

Pan Yue also nodded, his eyes firm: "That's right, we can't give up halfway."

In the process of breaking through the protective device, the alarm suddenly sounded, and the shrill whistle echoed in the underground space.

Powerful energy shocks burst out from the device, attacking Chu Feng and others like a violent storm.

At the critical moment, Chu Feng pushed Su Yao and Pan Yue away and bore most of the impact alone.

He groaned, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground.

"Chu Feng!" Su Yao exclaimed and hurried over to help Chu Feng up.

Chu Feng struggled to stand up, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his face as pale as paper.

He felt a surge of emotion in his body, as if all his internal organs were shattered.

"How are you?" Pan Yue asked with concern.

Chu Feng shook his head, enduring the severe pain: "I'm fine, we must keep moving forward."

Pan Yue looked at Chu Feng's frail appearance, his heart filled with worry. He knew Chu Feng was just holding on, but he didn't want to back down at this moment.

With his tenacious perseverance, Chu Feng forcibly broke through the protective device and entered the core confidential area.

This is a huge circular space, with a device emitting strong energy fluctuations standing in the center.

The surface of the device flickered with a strange red light, like the eyes of a demon, which was creepy.

"That's it..." Chu Feng said in a low voice, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

At this moment, a cold voice came from the darkness: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the forbidden area!"

A figure slowly walked out of the darkness, with a sneer on his face and murderous eyes.

"Commander Liu..." Chu Feng looked at the person who came, his eyes fixed.

Commander Liu, or rather, the commander standing in front of them at this moment, was no longer the commander they knew.

The original majesty on his face was replaced by a strange fanaticism, and his eyes flashed with a heart-pounding red light, exactly the same as the light emitted by the core device.

"Betrayal..." Chu Feng uttered these two words, his voice hoarse but resounding.

He finally understood everything: the mysterious disappearances and deaths of the night watchmen in the fortress, the strange energy fluctuations, the source of all of this was here, in this commander who was controlled by an evil spirit.

"Betrayal? Hahaha..." Commander Liu laughed loudly, his laughter was sharp and piercing, "Stupid ants, what do you know? This is power, supreme power!" He stretched out his hand, and scarlet energy emerged in his palm, like a dancing flame, emitting suffocating pressure.

Pan Yue's face was solemn. He felt the terrifying power of this force, which far exceeded any enemy they had encountered before.

"Chu Feng, be careful!" he warned, while protecting Su Yao behind him.

Su Yao looked at Chu Feng with heartache, and a sour feeling surged in her chest.

The blood at the corner of Chu Feng's mouth and his pale face made her extremely worried.

But she did not cry, she just clenched her fists tightly and turned her worry into trust in Chu Feng.

Chu Feng caught Su Yao's gaze and gave her a firm look, as if to say, "Believe me, I can handle all this." This powerful look instantly soothed Su Yao's inner uneasiness. A warm current surged into her heart, and love quietly spread at this moment.

"Power? What you call 'power' is nothing but a puppet of the evil spirit!" Chu Feng's voice was weak but full of power.

He struggled to stand up straight, staring at Commander Liu with burning eyes, "Do you think you can control this power? You are just its puppet, and you will be devoured by it in the end!"

Commander Liu's face darkened. Chu Feng's words seemed to have touched some fear in his heart.

"Shut up! You don't understand anything!" He roared, and scarlet energy gathered in his hands, forming a huge energy beam that headed straight for Chu Feng.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the air seemed to freeze.

Pan Yue gripped his weapon tightly, ready to support Chu Feng at any time.

Su Yao held her breath and watched everything in front of her nervously. She knew that Chu Feng's victory or defeat would determine their fate.

"Hmph, a mere trifle!" Chu Feng snorted coldly, a gleam in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood and energy in his body, and a light flashed in his hand...

"Are you ready to meet your doomsday?" Chu Feng's voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

A flash of light appeared in Chu Feng's hand. It was not a weapon, but some strange rune.

The runes emitted a soft glow, forming a protective shield around him, blocking the scarlet energy beam.

"A mere trifle!" Chu Feng snorted coldly, a gleam in his eyes.

Commander Liu's face grew even darker when he saw that his attack had failed.

He quickly formed seals with his hands and controlled the various mechanical forces in the fortress to attack Chu Feng.

A huge mechanical arm stretched out from the wall and smashed towards Chu Feng with a whistling sound; a laser turret protruded from the ceiling and fired dense energy beams; the ground cracked, and countless sharp metal spikes emerged from the ground.

Chu Feng was agile, moving through the dense attacks like dancing in the rain.

He used his backtracking ability to predict the trajectory of attacks and cleverly avoided every attack.

At the same time, he was also looking for an opportunity to counterattack, observing Commander Liu's movements, trying to find his weaknesses.

Pan Yue was not idle either. He waved the weapon in his hand to block the stray bullets and create opportunities for Chu Feng to attack.

He knew that Chu Feng was not in a good condition and needed his support.

"Su Yao, protect yourself!" Pan Yue shouted and pushed Su Yao to a relatively safe place.

Su Yao held a small device tightly, looking at Chu Feng with firm eyes. She knew that this device was given to her by Chu Feng and was the key to turning the tide of the battle.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Chu Feng and Pan Yue gradually felt exhausted.

The mechanical power controlled by Commander Liu was endless.

Chu Feng's backtracking ability also has a cooldown time, making it increasingly difficult to dodge attacks.

At this moment, Chu Feng noticed that whenever Commander Liu launched a large-scale attack, his chest would flash red. Could this be his weakness?

A gleam of light flashed in Chu Feng's eyes, and he decided to take a risk.

He deliberately revealed a flaw to lure Commander Liu into attacking.

Sure enough, Commander Liu was fooled. He controlled all the mechanical forces and launched the final attack.

Just when the attack was about to hit, Chu Feng activated his backtracking ability and returned to a few seconds ago.

This time, he did not dodge, but rushed forward to face the attack.

At the moment when a red light flashed on Commander Liu's chest, Chu Feng threw out the small device that Su Yao gave him.

The device hit Commander Liu's chest accurately, making a crisp sound.

The red light suddenly disappeared, and Commander Liu froze in place. Then, a puff of black smoke emerged from his body and dissipated in the air.

With the evil spirits dispelled, the energy fluctuations ceased, and the infected mechanical creatures were completely eliminated. Peace returned to the fortress, and the alarms ceased.

Chu Feng collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. Pan Yue quickly ran to his side and helped him up. "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, just a little tired." Chu Feng smiled weakly.

At this time, Su Yao also ran over. She hugged Chu Feng excitedly, tears streaming down her face.

"Chu Feng, you are so awesome!" As she said that, she couldn't help but kiss Chu Feng on the face.

Chu Feng hugged Su Yao gently, feeling her body temperature, and a warmth surged in his heart. He knew that he had won this battle.

Cheers came from all directions, and the survivors in the fortress rushed out. They surrounded Chu Feng, cheering and treating him as a hero.

Commander Liu also regained consciousness. He looked at Chu Feng with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

However, Chu Feng knew that there were more dangers waiting for him in this world.

"Pan Yue," Chu Feng looked at his companions beside him, "It's time for us to go." Chu Feng supported Pan Yue, who was a little exhausted, politely declined the enthusiasm of the crowd, and walked straight towards Commander Liu.

The commander's face still showed the shock of surviving the disaster and gratitude towards Chu Feng.

"Brother Chu Feng," Commander Liu stretched out his calloused hand, "Thanks to you this time! If it weren't for you, this fortress, and all of us..." His voice choked, and he didn't say anything else.

Chu Feng gently shook his hand and said, "Commander, you are too polite. This is the duty of the Night's Watch." He looked around. The cheers gradually subsided and people began to clean up the battlefield. The joy of surviving the disaster filled the air.

However, Chu Feng was not completely relaxed, a trace of uneasiness lingered in his heart.

"Commander," Chu Feng lowered his voice, "I want to know what the source of this evil spirit is?"

Commander Liu's expression froze. "According to our investigation, this evil spirit seems to have leaked from an abandoned laboratory in the northern part of the fortress. But we're still investigating the specific circumstances."

"Abandoned laboratory?" Chu Feng frowned. This information made him even more uneasy. "Commander, I want to see that laboratory."

Commander Liu looked troubled. "Brother Chu Feng, I know you care about the safety of the fortress, but it's still very dangerous there, and the cleanup work hasn't been completed yet..."

"Precisely because it's dangerous, we need to go and take a look." Chu Feng said firmly, "Perhaps there are secrets hidden there that we don't know about."

Pan Yue walked over to Chu Feng and patted him on the shoulder. "Chu Feng is right. To cut the grass, we must remove the roots. We must find out the source of the evil spirit in order to completely solve the problem."

Su Yao also came over. She pulled Chu Feng's sleeve, her eyes full of worry, "Chu Feng, you have to be careful."

Chu Feng gently touched Su Yao's head and said, "Don't worry, I will." He turned to look at Commander Liu and said, "Commander, please take us to that laboratory."

Seeing Chu Feng's persistence, Commander Liu stopped trying to dissuade him and sighed, "Okay, I'll take you there, but you must be careful."

Under the leadership of Commander Liu, Chu Feng, Pan Yue and Su Yao came to the abandoned laboratory in the north of the fortress.

The laboratory door was closed and covered with rust, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of chemicals.

Commander Liu opened the door of the laboratory with a key, and a cold breath hit him in the face.

The interior of the laboratory was in a mess, with various instruments and equipment scattered all over the floor, and the walls covered with graffiti and strange symbols.

Chu Feng looked around and keenly noticed a faint evil aura in the air, which was very similar to the evil aura he had felt in the fortress before, but also different. It seemed purer and more dangerous.

"Here..." Pan Yue frowned, "Something doesn't feel right."

Su Yao held the small device tightly in her hand, her eyes full of vigilance.

Chu Feng walked to a wall and carefully observed the symbols on it.

He had never seen these symbols before, but they gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen them somewhere.

Suddenly, Chu Feng's eyes focused, and he noticed that in an inconspicuous corner of the wall, there seemed to be something flashing a faint light.

He walked over slowly, pushed aside the debris on the ground, and revealed a buried metal box.

The surface of the box is engraved with complex patterns, emitting faint energy fluctuations.

Chu Feng reached out and touched the box, and a powerful energy instantly surged into his body, making him feel dizzy.

"Chu Feng!" Pan Yue and Su Yao exclaimed and rushed forward.

Chu Feng shook his head, indicating that he was fine. He took a deep breath and slowly opened the metal box.

In the box, a black crystal lay quietly, emitting a dim light.

"What is this..." Pan Yue asked in confusion.

Chu Feng stared at the black crystal, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.

"It's... Tears of God..." Chu Feng's voice was low and hoarse.

Pan Yue and Su Yao looked at each other, not understanding what "Tears of God" meant.

Suddenly, the lights in the laboratory flickered and then went out completely, plunging the entire laboratory into darkness.

"What's going on?" Su Yao asked in horror.

Chu Feng did not answer. He held the metal box tightly in his hand, feeling a strong sense of unease in his heart.

At this moment, a deep voice sounded in the darkness: "Found you..."
