"Go!"
"At worst, we lose a life!!"
"Everyone, charge!!"
"Get your weapons, all of you!"
"Andy, Mill, Fuller....you guys follow me!"
"Where's my shotgun?"
"Bring me my machete!"
....
The noisy shouts from upstairs filtered into the Underground Room. The four people locked in the Underground Room crowded by the door. Vi heard the sounds outside and pounded on the door, "Vander, open the door!"
"Open the door, Vander!"
"Let me try!"
Mylo crouched in front of the lock. As soon as his lock-picking tool entered the keyhole, the sensation he felt made Mylo's expression freeze.
"What's wrong, Mylo?"
"The keyhole is blocked from the outside. I can't pick it!"
"You're all talk, get out of the way!"
Vi landed several punches on the door, but not only did the door show no reaction, it made Vi's fists ache.
"It's no use, this door has a brass interlayer in the middle, you can't open it!"
As Claggor spoke, Powder took out the qingniao amulet Duke had given them. "Should we try praying?"
"Praying?"
The other three children's eyes lit up. They all took out their qingniao amulets, clasped their hands together, holding the qingniao amulet, and softly offered their prayers to Janna.
"Great Wind Spirit, I beg of you, I beg for your protection, I beg for your help, please help us!"
"Great Wind Spirit, I beg of you, I beg for your protection, I beg for your help, please help us!"
"Great Wind Spirit, I beg of you, I beg for your protection, I beg for your help, please help us!"
......
Vi's mind was filled with Vander's image. Anxious, she forced herself to calm down and prayed to the Naga for help. Having witnessed the Naga's divine power, they firmly believed the Naga could help them.
At the same moment, Vander put on his gauntlets and led everyone through the streets, heading towards the factory where Silco was hiding.
Inside the factory.
Silco was staring blankly out the window at the strange fish swimming in the river. Looking at the murky Water, his eyes began to ache again.
The pain of having his neck gripped and being submerged in the wastewater, at that moment, surged into his heart. His damaged eyes were seared by the sewage, as if burning away all his nerves, leaving him with nothing but the instinctive will to survive.
"This time, no one will stand in my way!"
Turning around, Silco looked at the Shimmer on Singed's workbench, a peculiar smile appearing on his face.
"It's not good, Silco!"
Sevika rushed into the underground laboratory, interrupting Silco, who was immersed in memories and hatred.
"What is it, Sevika, why are you so flustered!"
"It's Vander, Vander is coming with his people, everyone is armed!"
"What?" Silco's expression changed, "Who leaked the news?"
"Was it that Enforcer?"
"I don't know, but what's certain is that old man is serious this time!"
Silco saw Sevika's anxious expression, then looked at the Shimmer. The urgency in his heart due to the leaked news disappeared at that moment. Instead, he slowly clasped his hands together, walked to the workbench, and picked up a bottle of Shimmer.
"Since they've come, then let's wipe them all out!"
"But there are so many of them....."
Sevika tried to argue, but a test tube filled with blue liquid was thrown at her by Silco. Silco looked at Sevika, who was holding the Shimmer, a triumphant smile on his face: "Then let them come!"
"We have Shimmer, we have the future!"
"Everything is in our hands!!"
Silco's expression became sinister, his voice filled with murderous intent, "This time, I'm going to end everything!"
......
Zaun dock, Old Cannery.
"This is the place!"
Vander took his last puff of smoke, extinguished his pipe with a flourish, and dropped it directly at his feet. Behind him were the people of Black Alley holding lanterns or torches.
"This time, let us end all of this!"
Vander looked back, "What happened back then can never happen again!"
"We can't lose anyone; the Carnage must not happen again!"
"This time, it's our turn to fight one more time for the people and things we protect!"
Vander, wearing the gauntlets hanging around his neck, bit down on the leather strap with his teeth, revealing a set of White teeth like a wolf.
"Let's begin!"
"Oh!!"
Deafening roars pierced the silence of the night as everyone surged into the cannery.
As soon as Vander entered the cannery, he heard a voice, a voice that was familiar yet with a hint of strangeness.
"Look who it is!"
Looking up, Vander saw Silco standing on the overpass, his hands behind his back. One of Silco's eyes glowed with an unsettling green light, while the other was filled with coldness and mockery.
"Isn't this my old brother, Vander?"
"Silco!!"
Vander let out an angry roar, "Why did you come back? Why did you bring about a second Carnage!"
"A second Carnage?" Silco raised an eyebrow. Sevika, behind him, softly reminded him, "After the assault on Upcity back then, an Upcity family came down, and the Carnage that unfolded was what we called the Carnage!"
"So that's it!" Silco's eyes showed understanding, but he didn't care at all about the'second Carnage' Vander mentioned. Instead, he said with great interest, "Carnage, huh..."
"That's a good word to use. I actually plan to have a Carnage!"
"It's just that it won't be the people from above, but I myself will personally carry out a Carnage, cleaning out you cowards who are content with the status quo!"
"Silco, don't mess around!"
"Vander, you're old. The claws and teeth of that Beast from back then have degenerated. You've become Piltover's dog, but I'm different!"
Silco slammed a fist on the railing and leaned forward, his eyes burning with the Fire of revenge.
"I've brought Zaun's new era and new future!"
"Anyone who blocks me will be swept into the trash heap, even you!!"
"Silco..." Vander raised his gauntlets, his muscles rapidly tensing, hard as stone. With killing intent in his eyes, he clenched his jaw, his masseter muscles protruding. Seeing Vander like this, Silco laughed excitedly.
"This is the Vander I remember, one who, for his goal, would rather turn into a Beast and tear apart all enemies in front of him!"
"Very good, truly very good. Although it disrupted my plans, still..." Silco's laughter subsided, "...it doesn't really matter!"
"I will show you the future in my hands and turn you back into that Beast!"
"Do it!"
Silco turned around and took two steps forward. Sevika and the others stepped forward, looking at Vander with sinister smiles, and pulled the corks from their Shimmer vials.
"Old man, your era is over!"
As Sevika spoke with a sinister smile, she also drank the Shimmer in one gulp. All those who drank the Shimmer quickly developed an abnormal blue glow in their eyes. The capillaries at the corners of their eyes turned blue due to the Shimmer and rapidly Rupture. As they roared up to the sky, blue light also emerged from their necks.
Everyone who drank the potion was mutating, their bodies rapidly deforming, no matter what their original physique was, they began to transform into non-human beings.
In the blink of an eye, everyone who drank the potion turned into Beasts with blue glowing eyes.
"Do it!"
Silco gave the command indifferently, and Sevika and the others quickly rushed down from the overpass.
Vander clenched his gauntlets and roared as he charged at those who had mutated due to the Shimmer.
"Silco!!!!!"
......
In the Underground Room, Vi and the others were still praying; they had no idea how many times they had prayed.
After finishing one prayer, Vi opened her eyes irritably and threw the qingniao amulet on the ground, "This is useless!"
"Don't be so impatient, Vi!" Powder comforted, "We can do it!"
"But Vander and the others have already gone out, and we're still trapped in this damn Underground Room!"
Vi threw the amulet out, but when it landed, it didn't fall to the ground; instead, it was swept up by a gentle breeze.
Inside the Underground Room, a strong wind arose, and within the wind, a figure appeared from nothingness.
"Avatar of Wind, awaiting your command!"
