In "Skyreach City", a futuristic metropolis ruled by four major financial magnates, Lu Chenshen, a cold-blooded heir to one of the magnates, is implanted with the "Scarlet Code" by ...
"Low-dimensional... neural impulses... attack... logic containment layer... suffering... impact... warning... stability... rapidly declining..." The icy voice within my skull suddenly became sharp and high-pitched, filled with the shrieking of the highest level of alarm! It was no longer a whisper, but like a cosmic storm roaring within my skull! The feeling was more violent than any before, closer to the brink of collapse! It felt as if my entire head was about to burst from this awakening will!
"Ugh, ahhhhh!" I let out a shrill, inhuman scream, my body violently spasming and arching on the medical couch! The thin blanket covering my body was peeled back, revealing the bloodstains that instantly appeared on my skin, denser and more intense, like shattered porcelain! Warm liquid gushed out of my seven orifices uncontrollably! Amidst the extreme pain and the frantic struggle between my two wills, my consciousness once again slid into the abyss of collapse!
"Lin Xi!" Jiang Li roared heartbreakingly in the darkness. Ignoring the excruciating pain, he stumbled to the medical cabin wall and slammed his fists hard into the transparent wall. "Wen Shifei! What did you do?! Stop! Stop now!!"
"Shut up!" Wen Shifei's icy voice echoed through the darkness, carrying the indifference of someone in absolute control, yet with a subtle urgency. She ignored Jiang Li's roar and my screams, her hands falling precisely back to the main console (only a few crucial physical buttons still flickered with a faint emergency green light). Her fingertips moved with ghostly speed in the darkness, her blue-steel cat's eyes seemingly able to see in the absolute darkness, fixed fixedly on the backup sonar screen ahead, which had just struggled to restart, its image covered in snow and distorted lines.
On the screen, the group of scarlet light spots that were originally approaching rapidly like a swarm of bloodthirsty locusts, now... became a pot of boiling porridge!
The majority of the light points representing the Abyss Stalker III were spinning and twitching wildly, as if drunk! Their movements had become erratic, with chaotic collisions. Only a few seemed to have withstood the initial onslaught, struggling to gain ground, but their speed had become extremely slow and erratic!
Neural Pulse Storm! It took effect! Like an invisible broom, it instantly paralyzed these deep-sea killers, who relied on sophisticated electronic nerves and remote mental connections for control!
"Pulse attenuation rate... 70%... Target cluster... Logic circuit... Overload... Paralysis rate... Estimated 92%..." Wen Shifei's voice echoed in the darkness, with a hint of relief, but more of a cold calculation. "'Siren's' command node... Signal source locked... Depth: 900 meters... Azimuth: 120 degrees from the stern... Distance: 1500 meters..."
She suddenly raised her head. Even in the darkness, Jiang Li could feel her gaze like a concrete icicle piercing him. "Jiang Li! One o'clock! 900 meters underwater! 1500 meters away! Blast that 'mother nest' command boat out for me! Its mental link signal is the biggest source of interference! It must be removed! Otherwise, they will adapt to the next wave of pulses!"
The "Mother Nest" command boat! A mobile command post and signal relay station submerged underwater!
Jiang Li's eyes instantly flashed with a terrifying murderous gleam! All the excruciating pain and dizziness were replaced by an absolute killing intent! He didn't hesitate at all, not even asking a single question! It was like the most sophisticated killing machine receiving its orders!
"Ice Claw! Old Gun! Got the bearing?! Full fire coverage! One o'clock! 900 meters underwater! 1500 meters! Blow that damned 'hive' out!" Jiang Li's roar was like thunder! He lunged at the nearest weapons control console (which still had the physical joystick and optical sight) and ripped off the bandage that was getting in the way. He was oblivious to the blood running down his cheek! His bloodshot eyes were glued to the optical sight!
"receive!"
"Fuck him!"
Ice Claw and Old Gun roared like beasts at the same time! The rage and murderous intent of the survivors instantly ignited! Ice Claw's hands were like pliers, and he yanked the heavy torpedo tube rudder! Old Gun roared, turning the power knob of the manually controlled close-in pulse cannon all the way down! The blue light from the muzzle converged wildly, emitting a piercing scream on the verge of overload!
"Torpedo tube No. 1 and No. 2! High-explosive armor-piercing warhead! Loading completed! Launch channel open!" The voice of the ice claws had the texture of metal friction.
"Pulse cannon! Charge to 120%! Overload mode! Burn through it!" Lao Qiang's roar made the console buzz.
"Fire!!" Jiang Li's roar was like the final judgment!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Boom——!!!
Two thick white bubble trails, like the javelins of death, instantly shot out from the submarine's bow torpedo tubes! Following closely behind was a thick, dark blue pulse beam, so concentrated that it practically ionized the surrounding seawater! Wherever the beam passed, the seawater instantly heated to a boil, forming a brief cavitation channel!
Three destructive forces tore through the dark sea water, carrying unparalleled kinetic energy and energy, and shot precisely towards the coordinates locked by Wen Shifei!
One second... two seconds...
Time seemed to stand still.
Boom boom boom——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A terrifying, muffled roar, like molten lava bursting through the seabed, suddenly erupted from the direction indicated on the sonar screen! Even through the thick pressure hull and surging waters, the command cabin could still feel the violent shockwave! The entire submarine shook violently!
On the backup sonar screen, the relatively stable, enormous crimson blip representing the "Hive" command boat suddenly exploded like a punctured bubble! It split into countless tiny fragments, signaling a devastating explosion and disintegrating metal! The shockwave, like invisible ripples, instantly swept across the surrounding area, blowing away and shattering the still-twitching, spinning remains of the "Abyss Stalker" like garbage!
