Yuche's metal reached Chenghai before anything underneath him did.
A thick band wrapped around his chest and tore him away from the edge as a pale limb shot out of the darkness. Teeth snapped shut where his legs had been less than a second earlier.
Chenghai hit the broken floor beside us.
The limb struck the underside of the chamber and pulled.
More concrete disappeared into the hole.
Half-Jaw grabbed the core from the collector at his feet and ran toward the outer wall. My remaining zombies followed, climbing over bodies and rubble as the floor collapsed behind them.
At least someone had a plan... because I sure as fuck didn't.
The tether pulled downward again, and another section of the chamber broke away beneath my boots.
Yuche dragged me back while Zhenlan's wind caught the falling concrete and threw it toward the feeding pit. The Devourer swallowed the debris with the same enthusiasm it had shown for everything else.
Apparently, fiber wasn't a concern.
