Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

The red button that Chu Mengmeng pressed was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves. The control panel did not go out as expected, but instead burst into a brighter red light, and the entire control room began to shake violently.

"Not good!" Lin Wan'er screamed, but before she could react, she was knocked to the ground by an invisible force.

Chu Mengmeng tried to hold back the dizziness and stabilize herself, but she found herself like a small boat in a storm, which could be swallowed by the huge waves at any time. She stared at the control panel, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but she could not find a solution to the problem.

At this moment, the ceiling of the control room began to collapse, and rubble fell like raindrops. Chu Mengmeng pulled Lin Wan'er and tried to dodge, but was still hit on the shoulder by a huge rock. The severe pain made her groan.

"Meng Meng!" Xiao Yichen's anxious voice came from a distance. He rushed to the energy hub as fast as he could, but he only saw a pile of broken walls and ruins. He searched frantically for Chu Mengmeng's figure, his heart filled with fear and worry.

The collapse of the control room was only the beginning of the disaster, the counterattack of the device was far more terrifying than they had imagined. The entire city began to shake violently, tall buildings collapsed like building blocks, countless huge cracks appeared on the ground, and seawater poured into the city, swallowing everything.

Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er luckily escaped the disaster. As they looked at the doomsday-like scene before them, their hearts were filled with despair and powerlessness.

"What should we do? Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" Lin Wan'er's voice trembled.

Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew that now was not the time to despair, she had to cheer up and find a solution to the problem.

"No, we can't give up!" Chu Mengmeng said with a firm look in her eyes, "We still have a chance, we must stop this disaster!"

She contacted Xiao Yichen and told him the situation. Xiao Yichen immediately summoned all members of the alliance to discuss countermeasures.

"We must find a way to shut down the device, otherwise the entire city will be destroyed!" Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice.

"But we don't know how to turn it off!" Su Mubai said anxiously.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a mysterious voice suddenly sounded in their ears:

"You foolish mortals, how dare you disturb the slumber of the ruins? You will pay the price for your actions!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several figures in ancient costumes appear out of nowhere in front of them.

"Who are you?" Chu Mengmeng asked vigilantly.

"We are the guardians of this ruins," one of them said coldly, "Your actions have destroyed the balance of the ruins. We will never allow you to continue to act recklessly!"

A new crisis is quietly approaching...

 Storm is coming, new obstacles arise

"Meng Meng!" Xiao Yichen's anxious voice came from a distance. Amid the deafening roar, he saw the door of the energy hub being knocked open by a powerful force. In the billowing smoke and dust, the figures of Chu Meng Meng and Lin Wan'er were vaguely visible. His heart tightened, and he flew over the collapsed rocks and protected the two behind him.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Yichen asked anxiously, searching the two of them carefully, and only felt relieved after confirming that they were not seriously injured.

"We're fine." Chu Mengmeng shook her head, her face pale, but she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes, "But, the device seems to be out of control..."

Xiao Yichen looked around. The control room was in a mess. The equipment was running frantically, emitting a frightening red light. The situation in the city was even worse. The ground was shaking violently, and buildings collapsed one after another. Cries and cries for help were heard one after another, like hell on earth.

"How could this happen..." Lin Wan'er murmured to herself, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.

At this moment, a powerful pressure suddenly descended, and several figures appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. They were dressed in ancient costumes, with stern faces and cold light flashing in their eyes, as if they were gods from ancient times, looking down at this group of tiny ants.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yichen asked vigilantly, protecting Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er behind him, holding his weapons tightly, ready to fight at any time.

"We are the guardians of this ruins." The leader spoke in a low and majestic voice, with an unquestionable tone, "Your actions have destroyed the balance of the ruins. Now, stop your stupid behavior immediately, otherwise, you will face unimaginable consequences!"

"Guardian?" Chu Mengmeng's heart moved, and she remembered the records about the guardians of the ruins that she had seen in ancient books before. It was said that they were the last guardian force of the city and possessed extremely powerful strength. Could this be the turning point they had been trying to find?

"We have no ill intentions," Chu Mengmeng stepped forward and tried to explain, "We just want to shut down the device and prevent this disaster!"

"Shut up! You ignorant humans have no idea what you are doing!" The guardian interrupted her harshly, "This device is the key to maintaining the stability of the city. If you shut it down, it will only accelerate the destruction of the city!"

"But..." Chu Mengmeng wanted to explain, but was stopped by Xiao Yichen.

"Their duty is to guard the ruins, and they won't believe us." Xiao Yichen whispered, staring at the guardians, thinking quickly about countermeasures. The current situation is very unfavorable to them. The strength of the guardians is unfathomable, and it is definitely not a wise move to confront them head-on.

The two sides were in a stalemate, the air was filled with tension, and a war was about to break out...

At this time, in the chaotic city, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er were trying to find a solution to the problem. Suddenly, Su Mubai noticed something unusual, and he pointed to a tall tower in the distance and said, "Look, is that the energy core of the device?"

Lin Wan'er looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the tall tower was emitting the same red light as the device, as if it was the source of the disaster for the entire city.

"If we can destroy the energy core, maybe we can completely solve the problem!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Wan'er's eyes...

Su Mubai's words flashed through Lin Wan'er's mind like a flash of lightning. She looked closely and saw the tall tower, like a lighthouse in the dark, emitting a strange red light, echoing the device from afar. An ominous premonition came to her mind. "If this is true, then we must notify Meng Meng and Xiao Yichen as soon as possible!" Lin Wan'er made a prompt decision and looked at Su Mubai anxiously.

Su Mubai's face was solemn. He knew that there was no time to lose. "Let's go! Let's go back now!" After that, the two of them no longer hesitated. Braving the violent storm and the fleeing crowd, they ran towards the energy hub.

At this time, in the control room of the energy hub, the atmosphere was tense.

"We have no intention of offending you, we just want to save this city!" Chu Mengmeng tried to stay calm and reason with the guardians, "The device has gone out of control. If it is not shut down in time, the entire city will be destroyed!"

"How dare you! What qualifications do you mortals have to talk about salvation?" The leading guardian's eyes were wide open with anger. The powerful pressure was like an invisible giant hand, which made Chu Mengmeng almost unable to breathe.

Xiao Yichen calmly protected Chu Mengmeng behind him and glanced sharply at the guardians. He knew that it was impossible to defeat these powerful beings by force.

At this moment, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er stumbled in, panting and saying, "Oh no! We found that the energy core of the device is on a high tower outside the city. As long as we destroy the energy core, we can completely solve the problem!"

"What?!" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts when they heard this.

"Nonsense!" The leader of the Guardians shouted angrily, "The energy core is the foundation of this city. How can you get your hands on it?"

"No matter what, we have to give it a try!" Xiao Yichen said firmly, knowing that this was their only hope. He turned to look at Chu Mengmeng, his eyes full of trust and encouragement, "Mengmeng, I'll leave this to you. I'll go destroy the energy core!"

Although Chu Mengmeng was worried, she also understood that now was not the time to hesitate. She nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to hold them back!"

Time was running out, Xiao Yichen no longer hesitated, he assembled an elite team and prepared to break through to the tower where the energy core was located.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" How could the guardians let them leave easily? The two sides immediately engaged in a fight.

Xiao Yichen held a long sword in his hand, like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable. He led the team, forcibly tore a hole in the encirclement of the guardians, and broke out of the city.

However, just as they were about to rush out of the energy hub, an even more powerful aura suddenly descended and surrounded them.

"Who is it?!" Xiao Yichen was shocked and looked around vigilantly.

A group of mysterious people in black cloaks appeared in front of them at some point. They all had a strong aura and were murderous, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not good people.

"Kill!" The leader of the group gave the order, and a more brutal battle was about to begin...

Can Xiao Yichen successfully destroy the energy core? Can Chu Mengmeng convince the guardians and gain their support? Everything is full of unknowns...

Xiao Yichen led an elite team, braving the storm, running wildly on the muddy streets towards the outside of the city. He knew that time was running out, the city was in danger, and destroying the energy core was their only hope.

"The city gate is just ahead!" a team member shouted loudly, with a hint of hope in his tone. However, Xiao Yichen had a sense of uneasiness in his heart. He looked around and felt that something was wrong.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, houses on both sides of the originally quiet street suddenly collapsed, dust flew, and a group of men in black filed out of the ruins and surrounded Xiao Yichen and others.

These black-clad men were masked, agile, and moved like ghosts, emitting a cold murderous aura. They held strangely shaped weapons in their hands, emitting a faint cold light, and were obviously not ordinary soldiers.

"Who is it?!" Xiao Yichen was shocked and clenched the sword in his hand.

"Kill!" The leading man in black didn't waste any words. After giving the order, he launched a fierce attack towards Xiao Yichen and others like a black whirlwind.

The sudden attack disrupted Xiao Yichen's plan. He commanded the team to resist while trying to find a breakthrough. However, these men in black were strong and coordinated well, like maggots on the tarsal bones, entangled them tightly.

"Their goal is to delay time!" Xiao Yichen quickly saw through the other party's intentions and became even more anxious. He knew that every moment of delay would put the city in more danger.

"We can't go on like this!" Xiao Yichen made a quick decision and decided to go all out. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "You guys cover me, I'll go deal with their leader!"

After that, Xiao Yichen no longer hesitated. He rushed towards the leader of the men in black like a flash, waving his sword. The elite team members also knew the danger at the moment. They were not afraid and fought desperately to buy time for Xiao Yichen.

Can Xiao Yichen break through the siege and successfully destroy the energy core? And can Chu Mengmeng, who stayed at the energy hub, convince the guardian to resolve this crisis?
