Chapter 460 Water Surface
Deep in the vast ocean, the Infinity was like a wounded ancient beast, gliding silently in the absolute darkness and silence of the deep sea. The previous devastating nuclear explosion, volcanic eruption, and terrifying vortex of tearing metal had passed, leaving only the distorted metal pressure hull and the faint smell of blood in the circulating air in the car.
In the silent darkness, Lin Xian felt as if he was surrounded by cold and salty sea water.
The stress structure of the entire car body occasionally emits a slight groaning sound, which blends with the occasional sound of bubbles exploding in the deep sea and the ghostly sound of sonar, together forming the background sound in this dead silence.
Lin Xian sat in the cockpit with a heavy expression on his face. The reason he gave this instruction to Viola was out of caution.
1:32:07
The countdown in front of him was ticking silently. Facing these numbers that were like a time bomb, it was difficult for Lin Xian to remain absolutely rational and sober.
This thing is different from the strange body. Even in the dark night full of dangers and the abyss of the sea, at least Lin Xian can still use his special abilities. He also has Infinity, Teacher Chen, KIKI and other team members by his side.
But this countdown was strange and unpredictable, like the sword of Damocles hanging over his head. He didn't know what would happen after the countdown ended, nor did he know how to stop the countdown, let alone the principle behind its occurrence. It was completely out of his control and reach.
Dawn and destruction have both already occurred? Well, that sounds like a very interesting insight. From a philosophical perspective, Hegel proposed that "contradiction is the fundamental driving force of the development of things." Destruction is the overt result of the collapse of the old order, while dawn is the implicit process of the birth of a new civilization. From a physics perspective, it's similar to the "Schrödinger's cat" thought experiment: when the time dimension is unobserved, dawn (survival) and destruction (death) can exist simultaneously as two ultimate states until the causal chain collapses into a single reality.
Viola heard Lin Xian's words and paused before responding.
Lin Xian felt a little irritated and pinched his eyebrows.
"Prepare to surface and patrol the sea area to ensure it is safe before daybreak."
Viola looked at Xiang Linxian and responded calmly, "Understood. Immediately conduct an investigation of the rising sea area and the sea surface."
"Ryan, follow me and get ready for battle..."
Lin Xian turned his head to look towards the carriage and said in a deep voice, "Wake everyone up. After we're out of danger by daybreak, we can arrange for them to rest. We're in a dangerous situation right now."
"I have the same idea as you, Lin, but I suggest that we let some of the main forces and combatants prepare first. Those who are seriously injured are in urgent need of recovery, and now is the best opportunity." Ryan's voice sounded from the communicator.
"good."
After giving the instructions, Lin Xian pondered over the countermeasures while unfolding the Mechanical Heart to cover the entire Infinity and carry out overall mechanical repairs. Next, as long as he successfully emerged from the water and escaped from the crisis, he could immediately use the Sky-class to take the risk of leaping. With the information capabilities of the Sky-class, it should not be a problem to find the Republic Islands or Noah through the Fire Book and Water and Sky Positioning.
But before that, he must make sure that he can survive. Now he doesn't know what will happen, so in order to ensure the safety of Infinity and Beifeng 09, all the core backbones must be called up and on standby at this critical moment.
Lin Xian even considered whether he should put some distance between himself and Infinity before the countdown came...
Lin Xian had a lot of thoughts, both positive and negative.
Gurgle~
Violent vibrations from water pressure echoed outside the bulkhead. Lin Xian stared at the sonar screen. Not long after, somewhere on the dark surface of the Pacific Ocean, a train like a giant dragon broke through the curtain of water and slowly emerged from the water. Along with it, a massive Abyss-class nuclear submarine, the Beifeng 09, appeared.
[We have conducted a 50-nautical-mile and low-altitude sea reconnaissance, and it is currently safe. The current weather in the sea area is abnormal, with thick sea fog. We recommend not conducting extravehicular activities until daybreak or the fog clears.]
Crash.
Curtains of water continued to flow out of the porthole. Lin Xian stood up and could only see the undulating sea surface outside the porthole. Even under the searchlight of the Infinity, he could not see too far away. The entire sea area was covered by thick fog, and the water surface was rising with waves and the sound of waves.
Lin Xian looked around and immediately turned around: "UAVs build bridges in four directions and explore as far as possible."
As soon as he finished explaining, Lin Xian turned around and pressed the communicator, ready to call everyone in Infinity to deal with any emergency that might occur at any time.
But when he turned around, he found that a figure had appeared at the cockpit door at some point, floating in the air, with his arms folded across his chest, looking at him with a gloomy expression. Who else could it be but KIKI?
"Your countdown has less than an hour left, right?"
"58 minutes." Lin Xian nodded. "It's almost dawn."
KIKI flew over at this time, staring into Lin Xian's eyes face to face, and asked in a questioning tone
"Why didn't you wake me up? Aren't you worried about what danger might arise after the countdown ends, or are you prepared to face it alone?"
Lin Xian was speechless, then said, "I was just about to wake everyone up."
"Really?" Kiki looked at Lin Xian with suspicion: "Have you figured out a solution?"
"Not yet."
Lin Xian said, "Let's get everyone up first. I've thought about it, and this countdown is definitely not a good sign. I have to stay away from Infinity until I figure out the situation, but..."
"no!"
Before Lin Xian finished speaking, he was suddenly wrapped in a telekinesis and grabbed. He saw KIKI staring at him with anger and said
"No matter what happens, I'll protect you. Don't even think about carrying it alone."
Lin Xian smiled helplessly upon hearing this, and then said, "I'm not that stupid. I will definitely maintain a distance that allows me to coordinate with everyone. I've thought about it. This countdown appears in my eyes, but no one else can see it. It means it's a very special power or technology. It's either targeting me alone, or it's something more exaggerated, like the end of the world. That would be simpler."
Who knew that before he could finish his words, he was suddenly kissed stubbornly on the lips, and the little mouth pressed against Lin Xian's mouth and was still cursing.
"There can't be an apocalypse. I want you to survive!"
KIKI's words were hesitant, and Lin Xian was a little stunned, because he felt a warm current flowing down from that face and sticking to his face, hot and wet.
Lin Xian's heart moved slightly. The feeling of being cared for was warm, which made him feel much more relaxed for a while.
Lin Xian just felt the girl's kiss, motionless and wooden. The next moment, KIKI suddenly reached out and covered his eyes. She quickly wiped away her stubborn tears before letting go. At this time, Lin Xian saw her floating in front of him with red eyes, looking at him with gritted teeth.
"What are you looking at? Find a solution!"
Lin Xian looked puzzled. "Time is running out. We need to come up with a temporary response strategy. We had been planning this last night after escaping the vortex, but I didn't expect to sleep so long."
"Yeah, time is running out."
KIKI looked at him with red eyes, as if she wanted to see the countdown in Lin Xian's eyes, or wanted to see his fear, but Lin Xian's eyes were full of calmness, but he was a little more helpless at this time.
I don't know why, but when KIKI saw Lin Xian's eyes, she felt her heart was pulled. Lin Xian, who could come up with a miraculous trick when facing the siege of three Xingyuan cities, was now helpless. A few hours ago, he was still able to turn the tide and lead hundreds of people to escape from the terrifying giant ocean god and the super vortex, but now, he seemed to be helplessly facing his own fate.
Thinking of this, KIKI felt inexplicably suffocated and distressed. She seemed not to have heard what Lin Xian had just said. She suddenly raised her hands, grabbed Lin Xian's hands and put them on her waist. Then, she wrapped her legs around Lin Xian's waist like a little pepper, pressed Lin Xian's face from top to bottom, and kissed him.
Tough, fiery, proud and uninhibited.
Lin Xian was a little confused. No, now is not the time to kiss. There is less than an hour left. If I wanted to kiss you, I would have done it earlier yesterday. We should at least think of some way and prepare some countermeasures.
For example, if a major terror strikes and Lin Xian cannot be rescued, how will the other members of Infinity be transferred, how will they escape, etc.
However, KIKI didn't care about these things at all at this time. She clung to Lin Xian like a monkey entwined with a tree, and was completely absorbed in the fun. She even used her telekinesis to push Lin Xian onto the chair, and after Lin Xian sat down, she sat on him.
"Hey, beautiful lady, now is not the time..."
"Shut up."
"Okay, just kiss for 1 minute."
Crack! Lin Xian's shirt was suddenly torn apart by an invisible mental force.
Lin Xian immediately pushed Kiki away, looking shocked: "Wait, what are you doing? Aren't you a minor?"
KIKI looked at Lin Xian with tears in her eyes but a smile on her face. She crossed her arms and said proudly, "It's the end of the world. Only an idiot like you would believe it."
Lin Xian:?
"That's not the time." Lin Xian said seriously, "There are still 50 minutes left."
"So what?" Kiki's neck flushed, and she boldly said, "Isn't this time... well, what... enough?"
Lin Xian: ???
"No." Lin Xian's pupils shook. He looked at KIKI and thought to himself, are we talking about the same thing?
He looked at KIKI, whose eyes were red at this moment, and saw a trace of subtle fear in her seemingly unyielding and teasing eyes. Lin Xian's heart softened immediately, and he held KIKI's shoulders and said seriously:
"Girl, I think we can take advantage of this time to make some more countermeasures. Perhaps this countdown is just a reminder and clue. I won't necessarily die. Do you understand what I mean?"
KIKI looked at Lin Xian's shirtless upper body, her eyes flashing with complex emotions, and then she leaned into his arms, motionless.
Lin Xian sighed in his heart. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
[For adults, pleasurable sex can help relieve anxiety, especially after a battle, which is beneficial for both sexes.]
Hearing this voice, KIKI, who was buried in Lin Xian's arms, suddenly stood up and turned around in surprise.
"You...why didn't I see you?!!"
Lin Xian was ashamed: "She has been standing here the whole time."
Viola put her hands behind her back and recalled calmly, "You were filled with passionate feelings for Lin Xian, which directly led to your excessive concern for his safety and condition, affecting your emotions and attention. It's normal that you didn't notice me under such circumstances."
KIKI was furious and turned around to glare at Lin Xian.
"What's the point of being so hot? I'm just worried about our captain. Don't make blind analyses."
Viola responded, "Individual emotions are made up of many complex factors, and the results presented are different from different perspectives. However, as an artificial intelligence, Viola makes judgments based on comprehensive data. Miss Kiki's current state is consistent with human emotions..."
"Stop, stop!" KIKI's face was burning hot, and she quickly interrupted Viola. Although she was very bold and Viola was just a robot, the girl was not so shameless. She was upset and stopped Viola quickly.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lin Xian hugged KIKI and said in surprise to Viola behind her.
"Viola, say what you just said again?!"
KIKI raised her head and blushed. She didn't know why Lin Xian asked Viola to repeat himself, but when she looked up and saw the serious look in Lin Xian's eyes, she immediately became serious.
Individual emotions...
"The middle one."
【The structure presented is different from different perspectives】
Lin Xian's pupils trembled when he heard this, and suddenly something sounded to him.
KIKI, who was sitting on him, saw Lin Xian's expression and asked quickly
"Lin Xian, do you have any idea?"
Lin Xian shook his head, with some doubt on his face, and looked at KIKI
"Girl, do you remember what Chen Yanxiu said to me when we found him?"
"What?"
"He told me that I was obsessed with the power of forbidden objects, saying that it was the power of the 'Master'."
Kiki recalled and said immediately: "Yes, that was when you showed some abnormalities. We thought you were attacked."
Lin Xian looked at KIKI, frowning, puzzled. "I didn't think there was anything wrong with that at the time, because I thought he was talking about the forbidden item I had on the Infinity. But now I think about it, what if it wasn't?"
KIKI was a little confused: "I don't understand what you mean. He is a person of divine revelation and also cooperates with the Foundation. It's not surprising that he knows we have taboo objects."
Lin Xian shook his head. "That's what I thought at first, so I never paid much attention to it. But now when I think about it, I feel like he wasn't referring to anything else, but to that time."
"then?"
"From Chen Yanxiu's perspective, he might have seen something on me that made him say this." Lin Xian said.
KIKI looked puzzled: "But you didn't have anything taboo on you at that time."
“Actually, there is one.”
Lin Xian felt his hair stand on end at this moment. He met Kiki's eyes and they both thought of the same direction.
"Flash bullet?!" KIKI frowned and said in surprise.
Lin Xian said solemnly: "I felt the connection with Grace at that time. Now that I think about it, it is very likely the containment connection between me and Flash Bullet!"
"You mean, that countdown was most likely done by Chen Yanxiu?"
Lin Xian's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered something.
He immediately opened the Black Star Forge, and as soon as he thought about it, he saw a black object floating from a distance inside the empty star.
The black gear slowly floated.
With a subtle fluctuation.
Lin Xian reached out and grabbed it, ready to examine it carefully.
But at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the countdown in front of him began to change.
The seconds began to accelerate rapidly, and the original 52-minute countdown was decreasing with each second!
52 minutes, at this moment, only 52 seconds are left!!
