Solving the case: Combining the police dog's olfactory genes at the beginning

However, it's too late!

Luo Fei's speed was extremely fast. He rushed to the altar in an instant and struck Gong Xiaorui's chest with a merciless palm strike containing immense [super power]!
"puff--!"

Gong Xiaorui flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the incense burner behind her with a muffled thud. She spat out a mouthful of blood, and the hand seals on her hands instantly disintegrated.

The wisp of blue mist drawn from between Guo Mengyun's eyebrows lost its pull and abruptly retreated back into Guo Mengyun's body.

Guo Mengyun's body went limp and she fell backward, but Luo Fei caught her quickly. However, she had already completely lost consciousness and was breathing very weakly.

Gong Xiaorui struggled to get up from the ground, her Taoist robe stained with dust and blood, making her look disheveled.

She looked at Luo Fei, her eyes filled with endless resentment, anger, and a hint of madness at her plans being completely ruined.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a ferocious and desperate smile appearing on her face, and a small black remote control appeared in her hand without her noticing.

"Luo Fei...you ruined my five hundred years of waiting...you ruined my only chance to ascend..."

Her voice trembled with hurt and anger.

"Since I can't become an immortal... then you'll come with me... to hell!"

After saying that, under Luo Fei's suddenly narrowed gaze, she pressed the conspicuous red button on the remote control without hesitation!
"drop--"

A soft electronic sound rang out.

Immediately afterwards——

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

It was as if an earth dragon had turned over, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split open!
Throughout the entire underground space, deafening explosions resounded simultaneously from all directions! Huge shockwaves, carrying debris and dust, rushed towards us!

Above their heads, the massive dome, nearly twenty stories high, emitted a despairing groan and cracking sound as countless huge reinforced concrete blocks began to fall like raindrops! The entire space was shaking violently, as if it would collapse completely at any moment!
"not good!"

Luo Fei's expression changed drastically! Gong Xiaorui, that madwoman, not only blew up the entrance, she's going to bury the entire underground space completely!

In that critical moment, he didn't have time to think. He grabbed the unconscious Guo Mengyun and held her tightly in his arms, arching his broad back to shield her beneath him. At the same time, he pushed his [Super Physique] and [Super Strength] to the limit, preparing to withstand the devastating collapse!

A huge concrete slab reinforced with steel bars crashed down on us!

"Bang!!!"

Luo Fei's body trembled violently, and he felt a sweet taste in his throat, but he managed to withstand the first wave of impact!
More rubble and debris poured down like a flash flood...

The last glimmer of light was swallowed by endless darkness and dust, leaving only deafening roars and the sound of collapses in my ears...

……

Outside the villa, everyone witnessed a horrific scene that they would never forget.

First, Xie Junshan's villa completely collapsed. Then, like a domino effect, several villas next to it also collapsed with a crash, leaving a huge crater in the ground!

The entire Hequan Mountain Villa shook violently, as if a strong earthquake had struck!

The villas and mid-rise buildings next door were severely impacted, with spiderweb-like cracks instantly spreading across their walls and glass shattering everywhere.

"It's an earthquake!"

"Run!"

The few residents in the community screamed in terror. Many people didn't even have time to put on their clothes properly, and were only wearing shorts and vests. They scrambled downstairs, creating a chaotic scene.

The massive commotion caused by the collapse of the villa area even alarmed a large part of Haizhu District!

Fire trucks arrived at the scene again with their sirens blaring. When the rescuers saw the huge, bottomless black hole, hundreds of meters in diameter, and half of the villa complex's houses that had fallen to the bottom of the pit and were smashed to pieces, everyone was stunned!

"My God... what... what's going on?!"

"Quick! Save them! There might still be people down there!"

The team leader shouted hoarsely, his voice trembling.

Chen Xuanran, Wu Peixiong, and other members of the special case team looked at the huge pit that resembled the entrance to hell, their faces turning ashen and their hands and feet turning ice-cold.

"Brother Fei... Brother Fei is still down there!"

Chen Xuanran's voice was choked with sobs, and his body trembled uncontrollably, almost collapsing to the ground.

The news spread like wildfire to the Haizhu Municipal Government.

The officials who were originally in their offices turned pale and trembled with fear upon hearing the report—the director of the National Security Bureau had actually been buried underground in their jurisdiction?!

The news was reported up the chain of command and eventually reached Kyoto, where it reached Lei Wanting's ears.

"What?! Luo Fei has been buried?!"

When Lei Wanting received the call, he was so shocked that he stood up abruptly from his chair, his face instantly turning ashen!
He dared not delay and immediately reported the situation to Grand Secretary Wei, who was at a higher level.

Grand Secretary Wei remained silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. Even with his experience and temperament, he was still dumbfounded and incredulous after hearing keywords such as "giant underground space of Hequan Mountain Villa", "immortal cultivation ritual" and "burial of the director of the National Security Bureau".

But he quickly regained his composure, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

"Immediately establish a top-level supervisory team, with myself as the team leader! Head to Haizhu City! The top priority is to rescue Comrade Luo Fei at all costs!"

First, we must see the person alive, or... we must see their body! Second, thoroughly investigate this matter! Every single person responsible in Haizhu City must be detained!

I want to see who gave them such audacity to let something so horrific happen right under our noses!

The will of the highest authority descended like thunder.

The Hequan villa area already had a very low occupancy rate, and after the explosion and collapse, six or seven villas were completely destroyed. Preliminary investigations indicate that, in addition to two auxiliary police officers who were on duty and are confirmed missing, approximately seventeen or eighteen people may be buried.

Under the personal command of the supervisory team, the rescue operation utilized the most advanced equipment and the most elite personnel, and proceeded day and night.

After several days and nights of continuous fighting, all the buried survivors were found and rescued. Two of them unfortunately died, while several others were seriously injured but not in life-threatening condition.

However, Luo Fei, Guo Mengyun, and Gong Xiaorui remain missing, buried deep beneath millions of tons of rubble.

Lei Wanting stood at the edge of the huge crater, looking down at the rescue workers bustling about like ants and the roaring machinery, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

He issued a death order to the rescue commander-in-chief and to everyone involved in the rescue.

"Dig! Keep digging! Even if you have to turn this mountain upside down, find Luo Fei! Live or dead!"

This order weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, like a boulder.

The entire special task force was gathered nearby, all anxious and with tears in their eyes. They had fought alongside Luo Fei for months, and were no longer just colleagues, but brothers who had shared life and death.

Now, seeing their captain buried deep beneath millions of tons of rubble, and feeling utterly powerless to help, the pain and anxiety were almost consuming them.

Chen Xuanran stood at the front, his face pale and bloodless, his once bright eyes now filled with bloodshot veins and deep worry.

She hadn't slept for days and nights, her eyes glued to the excavation site, as if she would miss Luo Fei's miraculous survival if she looked away. Her slender body trembled slightly in the night wind, sustained only by sheer willpower.

Wu Peixiong slammed his fist hard against the temporary fence next to him, and the metal groaned under the weight.

"Damn it! How could Fei-ge just......"

He couldn't bring himself to say what followed, nor did he want to.

Zhou Xiaobei pushed up his glasses, trying to comfort everyone, and himself, with data analysis.

"Brother Fei's physical abilities are extraordinary; he can definitely hold on, he definitely..."

Wang Feifei squatted on the ground, her hands tucked into her hair, her voice hoarse.

"What's going on down there...? We've been digging for three days already..."

Chen Fan remained relatively calm, but his clenched fists and tense jawline betrayed the turmoil within him.

He walked over to Chen Xuanran and whispered.

"Xuanran, go and rest for a while. We'll keep an eye on things here."

I'll let you know as soon as I have any news.

Chen Xuanran stubbornly shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the deep pit.

"No, I'll wait for him to come out here."

Although no one said it aloud, everyone knew in their hearts that in a collapse of this scale, being buried dozens of meters underground meant that the chances of survival were extremely slim.

Air, water, food, and unimaginable pressure... with each passing minute, hope dwindles.

This news was strictly blocked by the National Security Bureau, especially from Luo Fei's grandmother, and even Chen Xuanran's family was kept in the dark, only told that it was an emergency mission with no return date.

The Haizhu municipal government is under tremendous pressure and has mobilized all available resources.

Eighteen large excavators, like steel behemoths, worked day and night in the collapsed area, their huge mechanical arms swinging to remove soil and rubble bucket by bucket.

Searchlights illuminated the night as if it were daytime, and rescue workers worked in three shifts, racing against time to save lives.

During the cleanup, the first people unearthed were two auxiliary police officers who had been stationed at Xie Junshan's villa.

When their bodies were found, they were smashed beyond recognition.

Subsequent autopsy reports from the forensic pathologists showed that the two died from being struck by a heavy object, but trace amounts of the "magic grass" toxin were also detected in their bodies, suggesting that they were poisoned by Gong Xiaorui without warning before being buried in the collapse.

Based on the drawings and the situation at the scene, the rescue experts made calculations and told Lei Wanting, Chen Fan, and others with grave expressions.

"If Director Luo is really at the lowest point of the dojo, it will take us at least three to four more days to dig him out."

However… at this depth, the pressure from the landslide is immense, the internal structure is extremely unstable, and the air is very thin… even if Director Luo was alive at the beginning, it would be difficult for him to survive for that long…”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanran swayed and almost fell over, but Yuan Bingyan quickly supported him.

"No," Chen Xuanran murmured to himself, as if trying to encourage himself.

"Luo Fei is different from ordinary people, he can definitely do it... He promised me he'd be alright..."

Seeing this, everyone could only suppress their pessimism and offer words of comfort, but those words seemed so pale and powerless in the face of cruel reality.

The devastating explosion and collapse at Hequan Villa has drawn widespread attention from the national media. Countless reporters, like sharks smelling blood, have flocked to the site, their cameras and microphones aimed at the ruins.

The national security department initiated the highest level of information control, partly to ensure the confidentiality of the investigation, and partly to prevent the news from reaching Luo Fei's elderly grandmother and causing her excessive worry.

The entire Hequanshanzhuang residential area has been identified as a dangerous building. The local government has activated its emergency plan, set up temporary shelters in nearby stadiums and schools, and relocated all remaining residents.

The once eerie neighborhood has now been completely transformed into a desolate ruin, with only the constant roar of rescue machinery day and night.

Time ticked by in agonizing agony. After several days and nights of tireless effort by the rescue team, the excavation work made a breakthrough.

"A discovery!"

A rescuer covered in mud suddenly shouted.

Everyone's heart instantly rose to their throat.

Chen Xuanran practically lunged to the edge of the cordon, staring intently down below.

The excavator's bucket carefully lifted a huge, broken wooden sign, on which three mottled ancient characters could still be discerned: "Feixian Temple"!
"It's a Taoist temple plaque! We've dug to the bottom!"

The on-site commander's voice was filled with excitement and tension.

After confirming that they had reached the bottom of the collapsed Taoist temple, the rescue work became more cautious and meticulous, relying more on manpower and small equipment, for fear of injuring any potential survivors.

Several more hours passed before a huge reinforced concrete slab was slowly lifted by a crane, revealing a blurry, huddled human figure underneath!
The man was covered in thick dust and mud, almost blending into the surrounding ruins, but his posture suggested he was desperately protecting something.

"There's someone down there!"

The rescuers exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Xuanran, who had been steadfastly guarding the front lines without daring to blink, almost felt his heart stop beating the moment that figure was exposed.

Despite the man's face being covered in filth and his lifeless appearance, a sense of familiarity from the depths of her soul made her blurt out the words, her voice sharp and trembling.

"It's Luo Fei! It's Luo Fei!!"

This shout was like a boulder thrown into stagnant water! All the members of the special task force, all the leaders and high-ranking officials who were paying attention to this place, rushed over and focused their eyes on that small area.

Rescuers carefully approached and cleared away the surrounding debris.

Just then, the body that had been motionless and which everyone thought was a corpse suddenly moved!
Then, to everyone's disbelief, the "corpse" actually stood up on its own, swaying and leaning against the broken wall beside it!

"hiss--"

A collective gasp filled the air.

Several rescue workers who were on the job jumped back in fright, almost thinking it was a zombie. (End of Chapter)
