Chapter 442 Viola Returns
Only then did Ryan's team clearly see the mechanical gate that had summoned the mechanical giant sword. Everyone's face was filled with astonishment, as if they had seen an alien creature.
"Is this still a superpower?"
"space?"
"At first I was curious where all those drones came from."
"That's amazing! So this is the mechanical power!"
Everyone was talking about it. Gaddy and Vanessa looked at Lin Xian with surprise. "Now I understand why we can't detect his soul value. Mechanical abilities seem to be more... mysterious than all other abilities." She carefully considered an adjective.
"I agree." Vanessa nodded.
Ryan took a deep breath as he watched this scene. He now understood the terrifying power of the Swordsman. It seemed that his plan would be of no use to Lin Xian. So Ryan immediately understood the situation and said to Azir, "Iron Arm, pass the Haven information and coordinates to Captain Lin."
Azir was stunned for a moment, then immediately did as he was told.
Lin Xian received the information and input it into the Iron Rain UAV system. At present, such operation is more complicated than imagined. Although the number of strange creatures in this sea area may have decreased a lot, we cannot let our guard down.
Although the Iron Rain UAV is slightly weak against large strange objects, its special metal and waterproof properties can be used as an underwater information relay.
Wow!
Soon, under Lin Xian's control, drones began to go into the water in large numbers. This step first required confirming the underwater situation. If the spare power port could be opened directly, then there would be no need to take the risk of human intervention.
At this time, a small display appeared in Lin Xian's hand, and the underwater images captured by the camera on the top of the drone would be synchronized on the display in real time.
Under Lin Xian's command, the drones dived into the sea one after another. Ryan, watching Lin Xian's operation, reminded him, "Strictly speaking, the farthest distance of all the energy discharge ports of the Deep 3 device does not exceed the waters near Haiyan Island."
Lin Xian nodded and responded while operating the drone, "I know what you mean. These energy vents are all within the influence of the Garland Volcano's submarine mountain crust. That's why that thing caused the Garland Volcano to revive from its dormant state."
"I'm not entirely sure if that's the case. The Foundation keeps this information confidential. I'm just saying that if the volcano starts moving violently, the earthquake alone might destroy all the geothermal facilities."
Lin Xian said bluntly, "So, even if we can release the energy, it will only affect the geothermal wells at the submarine base. If the volcano erupts, we won't be able to control it at all. But maybe we can give the plan I just mentioned a try. We'll just have to wait and see."
Ryan understood Lin Xian's arrangement, walked over to look at Lin Xian's control panel, and immediately let out a light "Oh!" and asked with some doubt: "Only the corpse is left?"
Just now, the number of strange bodies had reached a level that made people's scalps tingle just by looking at them, but now, under the water surface, there seemed to be only the corpses of various strange bodies that kept sinking, and a large amount of black air was everywhere.
"With so much black energy, aren't there any other strange entities approaching?"
"Maybe it's because this area was once the territory of the whirlpool monster. Although the whirlpool monster has been killed, its breath probably still remains in the water, so the other strange creatures dare not approach this area of water." Erica said at this time.
"It is also possible that you have just absorbed all the blood crystals here. In addition, there is no geothermal core dissipation in this area, so these strange corpses and the dissipated dark energy are not as attractive as other areas." Lin Xian said.
Erica smiled when she heard that and looked at Lin Xian: "I think you are right."
"So it seems that those strange creatures did not retreat, but were quickly attracted to other areas after losing their marked targets." Ryan raised his sunglasses and said.
"That makes sense." said KIKI.
"I almost thought I was going to die here just now. I didn't expect this sea area to become so deserted." Vanessa couldn't help but sigh.
"Even so, we still can't let our guard down." Gaddy reminded in a deep voice.
It is naturally good news that there are not many strange creatures underwater, but if you lose your vigilance against the treacherous ocean, you will definitely fall flat on your face, and it is no exaggeration to say that you may even lose your life!
Lin Xian's drone continued to dive, and the light was no longer visible. Only the light of the submersible and the visual signals of the sonar scan remained. Under Lin Xian's operation, the submersible quickly dived hundreds of meters. The seabed was rocky. As it continued to dive, countless relay drones floated in the deep sea like chains. Under the guidance of the coordinates and deep-water hydrological information provided by Ryan, Lin Xian quickly found a metal pipe hidden in the rocks. Obviously, this was the backup energy discharge pipe that Ryan mentioned.
The submersible continued to move forward along the backup energy discharge pipeline and soon found the energy discharge outlet of the backup energy discharge pipeline.
The energy vent is located on an underwater cliff, but the terrible thing is that the energy vent is completely blocked by the corpse of the giant vortex monster. The giant insect corpse lies across the seabed, and the sea water is almost covered by large amounts of black blood, which greatly affects the submersible's camera system.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xian frowned immediately. This was too unlucky. He couldn't see where the energy discharge port was after scanning, and Lin Xian's submersibles were all small devices, which could not deal with this huge wreckage at all.
"It seems to be completely blocked..." Kiki's eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately looked at Lin Xian and said decisively: "I'll go down and move it!"
"Let me go. My body can withstand that kind of water pressure." Geddie from Ryan's side stepped forward at this time: "I should have no problem leaving this to me."
"Wait a minute."
Lin Xian's eyes flickered. "A large number of strange corpses are sinking now. I'm not sure if it's safe yet. I'll explore again."
Lin Xian immediately released more drones to begin searching around the giant corpse. Several submersibles headed towards the cliff on the seabed. As soon as they approached the cliff, some strange sounds began to come from Lin Xian's operating device. The sounds mixed with the sound of water pressure and began to gradually become dense and rustling, which was a bit chilling.
"It sounds like a swarm of insects?" KIKI said, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a horrifying scene.
The situation on the seabed is very complicated. The ocean currents blow up mud and sand, and some unknown flocs are floating in the water, completely blocking the submersible's field of vision. The visibility is definitely no more than ten centimeters. You can't even see your feet if you lower your head. However, the cliff on the seabed seems unusually calm, and the sea water in the cliff is as if it was fixed by magic.
The moment the submersible's lights came on, everyone was shocked by the images on the monitor!
The cliffs on both sides were full of potholes, like cheese, filled with holes of all sizes. In each hole, there was a strange creature lurking. Outside the hole, there were countless strange dark red tentacles clinging to it, and the tentacles were covered with deep-sea maggots. Just one look at them made one's scalp numb. When the light shone downwards, less than five centimeters below the submersible, it had completely turned into a sea of deep-sea maggots!
"It seems we guessed wrong, there are still quite a few here..." Vanessa said.
"These things don't look like they just arrived. They shouldn't be the kind of strange entities that can release dark marks." Lin Xian observed solemnly, then looked up at the erratic black floating island in the distance of the sea and said, "They look like they were released by the insect nest."
Boom boom boom.
A strange knocking sound suddenly rang out.
Lin Xian looked closely and found that deep-sea maggots had climbed onto the submersible without him noticing. They opened their ferocious mouthparts and kept gnawing at the metal parts of the submersible.
At this moment, the picture on the display screen suddenly darkened. Lin Xian immediately controlled the submersible to raise its head. A giant anglerfish appeared in the sea above the submersible at some point. This giant anglerfish was covered with all kinds of strange tentacles.
The tentacles were very long, swaying in the water like seaweed, but everyone present knew that this was definitely a special monster!
Suddenly, the giant anglerfish opened its mouth, an extremely ferocious and terrifying mouth, with circle after circle of metal-sharp teeth unfolded. In just a blink of an eye, it swallowed all the submersibles exploring the cliffs on the seabed into its mouth.
sizzle
The image on the monitor in Lin Xian's hand kept distorting and deforming, and finally froze in the huge belly of the giant anglerfish. Dark green gastric fluid dripped, and the submersible was instantly dissolved, completely disconnected.
Looking at this scene, the atmosphere suddenly tensed. If the people went down to explore, being eaten would not be the most terrible thing. The most worrying thing is being marked again, and then this sea area will become lively again.
"call"
Lin Xian let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "There are too many monsters in the sea around here. I didn't expect them to come back again in such a short time. It seems... we have to give up this energy release plan..."
When Lin Xian said this, everyone including the Falcon Sea Group had complicated expressions. Everyone was aware of the current situation. At this time, Azir stood up and said
"Then we're running out of time. Instead of waiting for the device to completely go out of control and Mount Garlan to erupt, why not take advantage of the daylight and rush out!"
"During the day? What happened just now, is there any difference whether it was day or night?" Geddy's tone was very heavy.
"What should we do? Does everyone have to stay here and wait to die?" Azir said helplessly.
Ryan raised his hand to ask Azir to be quiet, then looked at Lin Xian.
"Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Xian was also extremely troubled at this time, and kept thinking in his mind that if there was no better way, then the only thing left was what Azir said, to take a risk. But even if he wanted to rush, in addition to the danger of Haiyan Island, he would have to find a landing point along the broken ocean orbit line when he lost satellite positioning, which was also a trouble.
After thinking about it, Lin Xian decided to return to Infinity in the urban area first to discuss it.
At this moment, a violent sonic boom suddenly came from the distant storm clouds in the sky. Everyone immediately looked up vigilantly. The sound was buzzing above the clouds and getting closer. Just when everyone thought it was a monster, a long-lost familiar voice suddenly came from Lin Xian's headphones.
[This is Viola, landing across the waters of Chasan Island.]
Lin Xian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He said to the others, "Don't be nervous, they are mine."
Wow!
As soon as the words fell, the sound of breaking through the air began to deafen the ears. Suddenly, a jet of fire broke through the clouds in the sky, followed by a large number of drone teams like a swarm of bees.
Boom!
Along with the sound of bombardment on the ground, Viola, emitting high temperature residual heat all over her body, removed the flight kit and walked out of the smoke and dust. She came to Lin Xian and stood proudly.
I'm deeply sorry. During my patrol mission, I encountered strong electromagnetic and gamma-ray interference, forcing me to reboot my system near the G05 orbital base station. I was also attacked by a strange creature, causing my mission to be completed 14 hours and 51 minutes later than planned.
"Gamma rays?" Hearing this, KIKI was the first to be surprised: "Where does it come from?"
The source is unclear.
Lin Xian's face darkened when he heard this. He immediately realized the gamma ray incident last night. He didn't expect that in addition to Grace, Viola was also affected.
He looked at Viola's body. It did show obvious signs of battle, but there was no damage to the body. So he immediately asked, "How is the air patrol going?"
Viola put her hands behind her back and reported calmly
Starting from the G3 base station east of Haiyan Island, track sections G4-G6, G7-G10, G13, and G15 all experienced varying degrees of track damage, primarily concentrated at the base station. Starting from G16, the track has returned to normal, but my inspection only reached G18, so further investigation is needed.
"Is this... a quantum intelligent robot?" After seeing Viola's report, Vanessa walked out of the crowd with a look of surprise on her face.
"right."
Ryan heard the conversation and said, "I've said before that those base stations are either survivor shelters or armed strongholds of the Holy City. Conflicts between the Holy City and other survivors have never stopped. Perhaps it's because of the conflict or perhaps it's because of attacks by strange entities. In any case, the tracks will be affected. Using trains to travel is indeed not a wise decision."
"We are not worried about this problem now." Lin Xian took a deep breath and looked at Viola.
"You're back just in time. There's something...rather dangerous that requires your presence."
"Please give your orders." Viola responded without hesitation.
Lin Xian immediately handed over the control of the drone to Viola: "Go underwater according to these coordinates and open the energy vent."
【Viola understands.】
As soon as she finished speaking, Viola immediately deployed a precise action path within milliseconds. Thousands of drones were mobilized in an instant. Then she jumped directly onto a submersible and quickly rushed into the deep sea.
Viola's body can maintain flexible movement thousands of meters under the sea, and the high-energy weapons it is equipped with are enough to destroy the monster's corpse and find the energy discharge port from the bottom and open it. Although those monsters may launch an attack, Lin Xian does not need Viola to fight back. As long as the dark mark does not appear, things will be much simpler.
Buzz!
In the black sea, Viola's figure continued to fall down like a sharp sword, and soon she saw the corpse of the huge vortex monster at the energy outlet.
Rumble!
At this moment, a devastating earthquake suddenly occurred. Everyone on the shore felt the ground shaking, and the sea was also surging with waves. Turbid bubbles instantly filled the sea surface.
"Earthquake?"
"The movement of Garan Volcano!"
"Oh no."
Ryan looked at Lin Xian: "Lin, a small-scale eruption may have occurred."
Lin Xian's face turned serious when he heard this: "Then we have to speed up."
[Warning: Viola has detected an undersea earthquake and a volcanic earthquake zone, with the magnitude reaching level three.]
[The fault zone has spread to Chasang Island, and calculations show that the Garan volcano is becoming increasingly active.]
"Keep moving forward, open the mechanical gate, and then return immediately." Lin Xian gave the order.
【clear.】
Viola came to the energy discharge port and faced the huge strange corpse. Her arm transformed into a plasma cutter, cutting accurately at high speed, then blasted out of the hole and drilled directly down.
[The energy release gate has been discovered and the pipeline negative pressure is being activated. The energy release gate is covered by the target's corpse, which may cause regional thermal overload. Should it be cleared?]
At this time, Viola's voice came.
Lin Xian looked at the giant vortex monster that looked like an island, his eyes flashed, and suddenly said
"No, just stay where you are. I just want to do an experiment..."
