Chapter 37: Refuge

Chen Mu felt that his face was wet, and when he opened his eyes, there was a faint white light around him, and Pippi was squatting on the side, licking his face with his tongue weakly.

"Alright, Pippi, stop licking it, if you lick my face again, it'll be gone. ”

He got up from the ground and was relieved to find that he had only suffered a minor injury.

Pipsqueak's condition was much worse, with two metal shards stuck in his stomach and multiple severe abrasions, and he was listless and didn't even have the strength to hum.

Chen Mu hurriedly inserted his tail into Pipi's body, extracted the pale cyan substance, and took out a handful of silver carats from his arms and fed them to Pipi to replenish his energy.

These silver carats were secretly taken out of Cook's ransom and collected, originally just in case, but he didn't expect to use them so quickly.

After a while, Chen Mu's sea of qi was completely saturated, and he could only stop extracting the pale cyan substance.

Fortunately, Pippi's injuries had stabilized, the wounds healed quickly, and the two pieces of metal had been pushed out, but they were still a little sluggish.

Chen Mu pulled out his tail and carefully pushed away the surrounding metal fragments, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

It was a huge chamber, what looked like a great hall or something, soaking in the Stygian Sea at an angle, with a large hole in the lower right, right on the water.

Seawater poured in from the hole, bringing light to the area, but it also shattered the surrounding metal, and the hole quickly expanded.

Chen Mu frowned, grabbed a piece of metal fragment, and with a slight break, the fragment was broken in two.

When this ark was first built, it certainly could not have been such a tofu scum project, but after countless years of erosion, it is now on the verge of disintegration.

"I don't know what caused the rumbling sound just now. However, there should be no mutant beasts in the pure river, so it is likely that the bottom of the ark was crushed by the sea. ”

With this speculation, Chen Mu was a little relieved, but he didn't dare to stay here for a long time.

According to the current trend, even if the ark does not sink completely, this chamber is bound to be occupied by the sea.

In the worst-case scenario, the ark sinks rapidly, which will surely trigger a super maelstrom that will sweep everything nearby to the bottom of the sea.

He took a closer look at the rate at which the sea was pouring in, and the amount of water available in the cabin, and soon came to the not-so-good conclusion that he had been unconscious for a long time, and that he had missed the best time to escape from the ark.

With this in mind, Chen Mu decided to find a shelter inside the ark as much as possible, otherwise it would be difficult for him and Pippi to escape to a safe sea with their current condition.

He looked at the large hole above his head, which faintly revealed a faint fluorescence, which should be the glow-in-the-dark forest before.

"The drop is too big, and unless I can fly, I don't have any hope of returning to the upper level. ”

He nervously recalled the map of the Ark, trying to figure out where he was.

It's a pity that the map is too incomplete, and Chen Mu didn't find the exact information of this cabin, but he still used the luminous forest as a reference to guess the current general location.

"This is supposed to be the core area of the Ark to the east of Living Area Four, and only a portion of the information about this area remains on the map.

If I want to survive, I should go to the tinder zone. There is an emergency exit sign on the map, and that direction is now located diagonally above to avoid the constant influx of seawater. ”

The situation was urgent, Chen Mu didn't dare to delay at all, judged the direction, and hurriedly rode to Pippi's back and headed towards the tinder area.

His path was almost straight, and when he encountered obstacles along the way, he blasted them away with his radiant fist.

Those seemingly impregnable walls of steel are now useless, often blasted open with a single punch. If not, then two punches, or a few more.

The only thing to be careful with is the floor.

Before each punch, Chen Mu carefully let Pippi hide away from the distance to mitigate the risk of the floor cracking. At the same time, he also urged the footwork to reduce his pressure on the floor as much as possible.

In this way, Chen Mu was violently demolished all the way, and finally came to the outside of the tinder area.

During this time, there were two loud tremors at the bottom of the ark, and it seemed that the entire hull was slowly sinking.

But Chen Mu was blocked by the special exterior wall of the tinder area, which was not a simple metal, but something similar to mercury, but magically did not flow down.

"Bang bang bang-"

Chen Mu punched continuously, making a big hole on the surface of the wall, but it was quickly repaired automatically.

He tried to climb up and break through the ceiling, only to find that the top of the tinder area was also this particular wall.

In desperation, he had no choice but to return to the ground and carefully smash a hole in the corner, and the result was desperate - the bottom was also a wall of mercury monsters.

Chen Mu frowned, thinking about whether he should give up entering the tinder area and find another shelter.

But the current situation was very bad, and the ark was sinking very quickly, far faster than he had expected.

The location of the Tinder Zone was already in the middle of the Ark, but even here, he could hear the rumbling of the sea pouring in, and it was still approaching rapidly.

"Once the sea occupies this place, the balance of the entire ark will be completely destroyed, and then the center of gravity will capsize, and sinking will only be a matter of blink of an eye. ”

The conclusion is clear, there is no time to look for other shelters anymore, and the tinder area in front of you is the only way to survive!

The cold sweat on Chen Mu's forehead flowed down, but he gritted his teeth and forcibly calmed down.

Now he is no longer the rookie who was stunned when he encountered the test of life and death, even if he still has fear in his heart, but this fear can no longer easily knock him down.

In the next second, he took a deep breath, no longer paying attention to the loud noise that was getting closer and closer behind him, but inserted his tail into the skin and body, and used the radiation qi to restore Ou Qi while extracting the pale cyan substance.

By the time Ou Qi was replenished, the loud noise behind him was already close at hand, everything was shaking, and the surrounding area was rapidly collapsing.

"Pippi Pig, let's go!"

Chen Mu pushed Ou Qi to the limit, and the radiation fist was full of firepower, frantically blasting towards the mercury monster wall in front of him.

A faint white fire erupted from behind Pipsqueak, slamming into the wall at full speed.

In the face of this almost brutal method, the recovery speed of the mercury monster wall was somewhat unable to keep up, and it was quickly punched out of a deep pit, but it was not penetrated.

Chen Mu gritted his teeth and continued to attack with Pippi, advancing as they fought, gradually going deeper into the interior of the wall.

After a few moments, the wall behind him had closed, and the roar of the sea could be faintly heard.

"Boom—"

Suddenly, a huge vibration came from behind him, and the mercury monster wall was slammed and shook, and the waves that were visible to the naked eye spread to the entire wall.

But the incessant and violent impact did not even break the wall, not even a single hole.
