Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

This approach is completely useless.

Although the Insect Race can produce an endless army, they still require time to breed and grow!

How many minutes have passed since just now?

They’ve not yet been bred, alright!

Even if Lu Wenwu digs three feet into the ground, he won’t unearth new Tank Insects or Acidic Titans.

Soon, the illegal broadcast station was almost within reach.

Although it’s called an illegal broadcast station, Lu Wenwu looked at the building in front of him and thought it looked like an ordinary employee dormitory.

Moreover, it was quite high-class, equipped with satellite radar and able to watch TV.

Right in the middle, there was a giant speaker-like TV station in the park, with a standard operational terminal of the Superhuman Federation below it.

A circle of TVs was hung on a tall tower, broadcasting something akin to a documentary.

Listening closely, a broken and intermittent voice was constantly looping from the speaker above the TV.

The background noise was a bit chaotic, suggesting that the person recording this audio was in a state of panic, with a hint of sobbing and despair in the voice.

"We’ve all been deceived by the Superhuman Federation! Everyone has been deceived by the Superhuman Federation! We have been abandoned! The management has covered up all the truths, this is all premeditated..."

The man’s heartrending voice was being repeated over and over, amidst the screams of the Insect Race, numerous people panicking and screaming, heavy footsteps and collisions, echoing like ghosts over Fenrir 3.

The TV screen was playing something akin to a documentary.

The content seemed to pertain to this very area.

In the footage, this wasn’t an illegal broadcast station.

But rather, a research facility under the supervision of the Superhuman Federation Government.

Lu Wenwu watched attentively as one scientist after another conducted research guarded by the Super Earth Armed Forces.

A vast amount of data about the Insect Race was being recorded and entered into the terminal.

They lived here and researched insects, fulfilling the responsibilities of scientists.

Lu Wenwu even saw the earlier body in its living state.

He was an energy engineer here responsible for the energy distribution and supply of the entire area.

In the footage, he donned the unique smile of Superhuman Federation citizens, throwing himself fervently into his work.

It seemed that the ordinary days would continue like this.

Until one day, disaster struck.

A large number of insects opened temporary space tunnels, with countless Acidic Titans and Tank Insects bursting from below ground, completely destroying vast portions of the research area, with only a tiny fraction remaining.

Those led by Martial Fighting Insects and the Insect Race Commander appeared instantly, hunting Little Jumping Insects, Hunting Insects, Corpse-eating Insects, and Hatching Bursting Worms unleashed human lives like a furious vent.

They used sharp claws to sever humans’ necks, slice open humans’ chests and bellies, and viciously excavated the internal organs, leaving them strewn on the ground.

Not a single insect devoured human flesh.

They simply engaged in slaughter, venting their fury.

In the documentary-like surveillance footage, the very last second showed the energy engineer cut open midsection by the claw of a stealthy insect.

This time, Lu Wenwu finally saw the remaining words on the tablet in his hand.

[710 Elemental Farm]

"Elemental... Farm?"

Lu Wenwu muttered the name as if suddenly recalling something, quickly turning towards where the mainline task of starting the 710 Elemental Pump was located, and dashed out in a flash.

"Hey hey? Violent Dragon! What are you doing?" Tiger Mo shouted loudly.

Lu Wenwu replied without turning back, "Going to verify something, you guys shut down the illegal broadcast and then go directly to the evacuation point to wait for me."

Without waiting for Tiger Mo to reply again, Lu Wenwu’s figure disappeared without trace.

The main task point was very close, only a few kilometers away.

With Lu Wenwu’s speed, even without using Fleeting Shadow, it would only take about ten seconds to get back.

Arriving beside the metal storage tank holding large amounts of 710 elements, Lu Wenwu didn’t hesitate at all, he punched the huge tank hard.

"Boom!"

Even a 500 kg bomb couldn’t break the metal tank, yet in front of Lu Wenwu’s Iron Fist, it was utterly defenseless.

With just one punch, the over ten-meter-high storage tank exploded instantly.

The previous two transports had already extracted the remaining bit of 710 elements, and Lu Wenwu hadn’t come for this.

His goal was to trace back the origins!

Lu Wenwu at high speed rubbed out strategic support guiding beacons, consecutively calling three Flying Eagles 500 kg to drop in the same place.

At the same time, during the waiting process, he forcibly pulled out the previously abandoned "Hellfire" obliteration bomb from the soil and manually detonated it at this place.

Soon, this behavior of packing explosions everywhere blew out a massive crater beside the original Elemental Pump.

Lu Wenwu jumped down himself, punching along the pipelines, hitting the soil.

He was like a human excavator, breaking through rapidly underground.

One meter...

Two meters...

Three meters...

All the way until he dug twenty meters deep, a layer of thick super-alloy was exposed.

Lu Wenwu activated the Eye of Insight, everything appeared.

[710 Elemental Catalysis Slot No.1]: 10 0000/10 0000

Current Status: Stopped Running, Pipe Leakage, Operating System Failure...

As expected, there was a problem with this 710 element!

Previously, Lu Wenwu always thought the 710 element should be a "mineral" similar to oil.

But ever since he began suspecting the Superhuman Federation was engaging in false propaganda, he felt something wasn’t quite right.

Until seeing a blood-stained tablet and after the illegal broadcast, these suspicions reached their peak.

There’s nothing more to say.

Lu Wenwu punched down fiercely, shattering the thick metal slot above the 710 Elemental Catalysis Slot, revealing what was inside.

It was a huge hollow mechanical device, like a meat grinder magnified countless times.

Within were numerous broken Insect Race corpses, oozing thick green blood with a foul stench.

Lu Wenwu showed no surprise.

He had long suspected this.

Following the massive passage extending outward, he mobilized all his Qi Blood and punched towards that direction with all his might.

This time, the whole ground shook like an underground nuclear explosion.

Masses of soil along with metal shards and building debris flew into the sky, sweeping the entire land upside down with Lu Wenwu’s punch.

Exposed were alloy pipes stained with dark green and black.

These were giant catalytic devices stained with sticky 710 element!

element, one of the most crucial energy and industrial materials for the Superhuman Federation, turned out to be transformed from Insect Race corpses and blood!

Thus, the essence of what was being raised in the 710 Elemental Farm was already clear.

Insect Race!

Case cracked.

This entire affair hardly resembled the task description depicting bloodthirsty insects invading the Superhuman Federation borders, attempting to destroy this great nation where democracy and freedom coexist.

In fact, this should count as the Superhuman Federation itself failing!

They raised the Insect Race to extract the precious 710 element but failed to anticipate the Insect Race breaking through the constraints of the Elemental Farm, slaughtering the original "farmers" completely.

Yellow Springs Warriors being dispatched here wasn’t about defending the homeland or recovering lost territory.

They were merely sent here to recover precious 710 elements!

Thinking this through, Lu Wenwu began suspecting whether the Superhuman Federation was also conducting biological warfare experiments?

Otherwise, if just for extracting oil, these captive and improved Insect Race shouldn’t possess such strong combat power.

Like how Blue Star People raised White Feather Chickens, developing fast within a month without doing anything but growing meat, this aligns with human interests!

Upon realizing all this, Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but lick his mouth corner.

It seems... something fun is about to happen.
