Chapter 210: Hurry!
Su Zhan's squad merged into a chaotic flood of fleeing soldiers.
Every step landed in pools of blood and on corpses.
Mist Creatures periodically lunged at the crowd.
His spiritual energy had long been depleted, and his mental strength was on the verge of complete exhaustion.
His brain felt like it was being repeatedly pierced by countless red-hot needles, sending waves of nauseating agony and dizziness.
But Su Zhan knew he couldn't hesitate any longer!
If they continued stumbling around like headless flies, everyone would die!
Risking permanent damage to his foundation, with his spiritual and mental energy almost completely exhausted, he activated Future Vision—precognition of the next five seconds.
He ruthlessly squeezed out the last drop of his potential.
Continuous future vision.Five seconds into the future!
In Su Zhan's consciousness, two overlapping yet separate worlds coexisted simultaneously.
One timeline represented the real-time flow of events he was currently experiencing.
The other timeline was a constantly rolling, real-time preview of the next five seconds!
It clearly displayed everything that would happen five seconds from now:
The half-collapsed wall on the left would completely crumble in three seconds, crashing down exactly where they were about to pass!
A Mist Creature shapeshifter disguised as a corpse ahead to the right would erupt in four seconds, pouncing on a fleeing soldier running ahead of them!
A steel beam overhead, weakened by continuous vibrations, would loosen and fall in five seconds, perfectly blocking the intersection they had planned to rush through!
Reality and future, present and five seconds later—these two streams of information violently assaulted his consciousness!
His brain felt like it was being torn apart by these dual perceptions.
Waves of excruciating pain hammered against his rationality.
Blood flowed uncontrollably from his nose.
His vision began to blur and double.
Su Zhan clenched his teeth so hard that his gums started bleeding from the excessive pressure.
He had to endure!
He had to find that single path to survival within this hellish dual perception!
"Left side! Dodge!!!"
Su Zhan roared almost instinctively, violently shoving Liu Ziming and Xu Hao toward the right!
"Boom!"
The half-collapsed wall on the left crashed down exactly as previewed.
Debris and dust filled the air.
Completely burying the spot where they had just been standing!
"Right front! Beware the corpse!"
Su Zhan didn't even have time to catch his breath before issuing another warning.
Before his words fully faded.
The "corpse" ahead to the right suddenly sprang up.
Just as previewed, it pounced on the fleeing soldier, and screams instantly erupted!
"Don't go through the intersection ahead! Follow me right!"
Without even glancing at the gruesome scene, Su Zhan forcibly dragged his teammates into a narrow side path.
They had just rushed in.
When a loud crash sounded behind them as the steel beam fell, completely sealing off their original route.
Liu Ziming and Xu Hao were already stunned by this series of eerily precise warnings and evasions, moving like puppets being dragged along by Su Zhan.
Feng Jue followed closely behind, his face showing unbelievable shock.
He clearly sensed that Su Zhan seemed capable of foreseeing the future.
Every choice avoided the most lethal dangers!
But Su Zhan had no attention to spare for anything else at this moment.
His entire consciousness was immersed in the terrifying burden of this dual-world perception.
Every second, countless pieces of future information flooded in, shattered, and reassembled.
Every second, he had to instantly analyze and judge through the excruciating pain, making optimal decisions.
Every second, he could feel his spiritual and mental energy burning wildly, his foundation shaking.
But he couldn't stop.
This continuous life-burning five-second future vision was their only slim chance of survival in this desperate hell!
Dragging his teammates along, he desperately struggled forward toward the direction of life.
"Ahead! Stairwell! Hurry!"
Su Zhan rasped hoarsely, his vision already too blurry to see clearly.
Not far away, an emergency stairwell entrance leading to the fortress's lower levels came into view.
The military elevator shaft nearby was already twisted and deformed, its indicator lights dark—clearly completely destroyed in the earlier impacts.
And even if it weren't destroyed, who would dare take an elevator in this situation?
The stairway was equally chaotic, packed with fleeing soldiers and wounded personnel.
"Damn... how do we get down through this..."
Liu Ziming looked at the overcrowded stairs and let out a despairing wail.
"Don't worry about it! Follow me!"
Su Zhan growled, his Future Vision operating frantically.
Within the crowded human flow and continuously falling debris, he predicted a relatively safe, most efficient path.
He forced his way into the crowd, desperately charging downward.
Thanks to his Future Vision, Su Zhan always managed to narrowly avoid the most dangerous crowding points and falling rocks.
Once, he abruptly grabbed Xu Hao, who was almost pushed off the stairs by the human tide.
Once, he sidestepped half a second early, and a cement chunk the size of a washbasin scraped past his back, smashing a soldier behind him who couldn't dodge in time into a bloody pulp.
Once, he predicted that monsters would charge out from the corner ahead, forcibly leading the squad to crash through a damaged fire door nearby, taking a longer but safer detour.
Feng Jue acted like the most ruthless sweeper—anyone or anything that tried to attack the squad or seriously obstruct their path would be mercilessly cut down or forced back by his sword!
The stairs seemed endless.
Finally, they rushed down the last flight of steps, arriving at the relatively open lower level area of the fortress.
But this place was not a safe harbor.
Instead, it felt more like an extension of hell!
The fortress walls continuously trembled.
More debris and burning wreckage fell.
Denser explosions and monster roars came from the distance, clearly indicating the slaughter in the core areas was still ongoing.
The fleeing human flow here became even more chaotic and disordered, crashing around like headless flies, actually making them easier targets for small groups of Mist Creatures to divide and surround.
"This way!"
Su Zhan barely paused, his Future Vision once again guiding the direction.
A relatively secluded passage leading to some backup exit.
Blood flowed even more violently from Su Zhan's nose, his face pale as paper, his body swaying unsteadily—supported solely by sheer willpower bearing the terrifying burden of the dual worlds.
"Brother Su! You..."
Xu Hao saw Su Zhan's condition and his voice trembled with fear.
"Shut up... keep up..."
Su Zhan squeezed out the words through clenched teeth.
Once again taking heavy steps, he continued their desperate flight toward that slim chance of survival.
"BOOM!!!!"
The lighting throughout the fortress's lower levels suddenly darkened.
An unimaginably massive shadow completely enveloped this area, blocking all light coming through the damaged ceiling!
A terrifying pressure originating from absolute life-form hierarchy suppression descended like billions of tons of seawater, crashing down upon them!
"Ugh!"
All four running individuals almost simultaneously felt their hearts stop and breathing choke.
Their legs went weak, nearly causing all of them to collapse on the spot!
Su Zhan's continuously operating Future Vision was struck as if by a heavy hammer, instantly becoming chaotic and disordered.
Countless fragmented future segments wildly flooded into his brain, intensifying his agony!
Su Zhan sharply looked up.
He saw that the Calamity-level existence named the Abyssal Colossus had completely destroyed the remaining main fortress wall, lifted its mountain-like giant leg, and officially stepped into the interior of South Cang Fortress!
