Chapter 466 Hawaiian Island of the Dead
Over the clear sea, several small aircraft flew low, raising ripples on the surface before hovering above it. On the bridge of one of the aircraft, the information officer looked toward the dark stormy sky in the distance, measured the current weather radar data, and spoke.
"Less than 200 nautical miles from Cyclone Doomsday, no targets found in the area."
Boom boom boom.
Chen Yanxiu walked quickly to the main porthole, and scanned the sea ahead with a serious look, with a hint of gloomy anger in his eyes.
Beside him stood a hooded young man with sharp eyes. He whispered, "There's no trace of death. That group must be heading north. With their methods, they have a good chance of dealing with the Doomsday Storm. It looks like they're planning to go through Hawaii and then move on to the South American continent."
After saying this, he glanced at Chen Yanxiu, whose face was gloomy. "Your dark gears probably can't be retrieved."
This person was none other than the one who had met Lin Xian once before in Aksai, drinking at the Black Rose Bar. His codename was Moon Shadow, and he was in charge of 'sniffing'.
Bang!
Click!
Chen Yanxiu suddenly crushed a small electronic device in his hand, and the fragments burst out, causing the people in the bridge to look sideways. After feeling the cold anger in Chen Yanxiu, they all turned their eyes away.
"A strange radio station, a levitating bracelet, flashing bullets, plus the No. 1 disaster plant, No. 16 Silver Dragon Hundred Thousand Errors, and a blood vine that is clearly a proliferation type. I can't understand how this Lin Xian could survive the subspace collapse of the gears?"
Chen Yanxiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, constantly thinking about what he had missed.
"Although No. 16 is a dimensional disaster plant, it does not have the ability to cross space. It is impossible for it to escape the collapse and marking!"
"Who knows?" Yueying shrugged. "According to reliable intelligence, Lin has demonstrated a black hole-like ability more than once in Xilan City and Shuguang City. Furthermore, there are users with electrical and speed abilities in their team..."
Chen Yanxiu glanced at Yueying and said coldly, "Forget about the speed force. That electrical engineer is just a teenager. He hasn't even developed his combat power in Dawn City yet. Could it be that he has the ability to make the entire group leap in such a short time?"
After saying this, his face became even gloomier and he whispered
"I don't know how many unknown developments Lin Xian's mechanical abilities have. Sometimes he uses electricity, sometimes he uses black holes. It's impossible to deal with him head-on. I didn't expect that even though I left him a submarine, he could still escape from the Giant Ocean God and the Warp Collapse. What other trump cards does he have?!"
"He's the Sword Master. To protect him, Ye Lan might have given him a lot of Night Walker and Xinghua's life-saving tokens. Otherwise, I can't imagine how they managed to crawl out of the hunting grounds on Haiyan Island alive." Yueying sighed and looked at Chen Yanxiu. "Can you still sense the black gear?"
Chen Yanxiu shook his head: "I can't catch up."
Yueying sneered, "Looks like Hua Xiaoling was right again."
"It's okay, I just lost a forbidden item."
Chen Yan took a deep breath, looked towards the dark sky in the distance, then turned and walked away: "The more they are obsessed with the Lord's power..."
"One step closer to the new world!"
…
The Hawaiian Islands are located in the central Pacific Ocean. It was once an internationally renowned tourist destination with extremely developed tourism. It has an urban area of more than 2,000 square kilometers and a population of over one million. However, after the Day of Revelation, this place was quickly forgotten by the world and became an isolated island in the sea.
At 4:12 in the afternoon, the sun was splashing on the white sand beaches of the Hawaiian Islands. The sky was a crisp blue, clear without a trace of impurities. The scorching light hit all surfaces without any obstruction, reflecting a dazzling white light.
Oahu's coastline is winding, and the sea water is still breathtakingly blue and clear, so clear that you can even see the colorful coral reefs underwater. However, the picture of snow-capped waves kissing the golden beach has been completely distorted. The beach has turned into a rotten cemetery where the living dead are rampant, and everywhere is littered with rotten corpses and groups of zombies that have been shrunken by the sun.
The heat wave was steaming, and the air was thick with a mixture of a strong and disgusting stench and the unique salty smell of sea water. The sea breeze mercilessly blew up the debris on the beach. Postcards printed with cartoon coconut tree patterns were trampled to pieces, and fragments of swimsuits stained with dark red were entangled on the dead palm tree trunks. A deflated inflatable flamingo was half buried in the sand, its bright pink color covered by a layer of black mold.
On the endless white sand beach, the places that were once filled with sunbathers are now occupied by shadows moving in various postures.
Woo woo!
In the distance on the skyline, the roar of an alien ship broke the tranquility of the island. As the giant four-kilometer-long train arrived, it cast a huge shadow on the coastal beach, sweeping across the beach from the deep blue sea in an instant, covering a large number of staggering zombies. The armor on the surface of the hull reflected a cold metallic luster under the strong light. There were scratches and craters left by the storm in many places, metal surfaces deformed by high temperature, and scorched marks left by the overload of the electrostatic field generator. Fortunately, it did not suffer a head-on attack and the hull did not suffer serious damage.
The living dead seemed to be startled by the huge sound and shadow. They stopped their meaningless wandering slowly and turned their cloudy eyes to the sky.
They raised their rotten faces and let out more intense and anxious roars from their throats. As the Sky Train descended further, the powerful propulsion airflow violently pushed downward, pressing a huge depression into the sea surface. The waves on the edge rolled violently and exploded into white foam. The fine sand on the beach was blown up, carrying garbage and rotten things to form turbid sandstorms.
The group of zombies on the beach seemed to be pushed violently by an invisible giant hand. Their stiff bodies were blown to and fro, and they could not stand steadily. Some of those who already had mutilated limbs were directly knocked to the ground by the air currents. The golden sand was lifted up by the gushing air waves and slammed heavily onto the rotten flesh of the zombies and the wreckage of buildings, making crackling sounds.
call out!
A sharp telekinetic impact sounded, and the dense zombies looked up and saw a black shadow standing in the air on the bow of the giant train. Ryunosuke raised his hand and a wave of blade directly destroyed the zombies on the beach. Then the sky train slowly lowered its altitude and stopped on the open space on the beach near the seaside street.
At the same time, countless drones on the ship were dispatched like a beehive, flying densely towards the urban area of the island and began a carpet search.
On the main ship's bridge, Lin Xian and everyone else were looking at the beach city in the distance, all with sighing expressions.
Qian Dele was the first to speak: "We arrived smoothly and ahead of schedule. It really is flying fast."
"But it's also dangerous." Ning Jing frowned, sweating over her recent escape, and said, "If flying is always faced with this kind of situation, then it's definitely not a good idea."
Luo Yang nodded in agreement: "Our rail train is still more reliable."
Lin Xian stepped forward and said with a deep breath, "If you're not in a hurry, there's really no need to fly so recklessly."
Chen Sixuan said, "There's a branch line on the island that connects to Yuncheng, Panama. From there, we can enter the Caribbean Sea and land on land. Then, we can follow the Liberation Track straight through the heart of South America to Ushuaia, and then cross the Storm Channel to the polar regions. This route avoids the largest ocean abyss, No. 13, and is also outside the path of North American Abysses No. 2, No. 10, and No. 11 in the Atlantic Ocean. It's a relatively safe plan."
"Will it be so smooth?" Monica looked at Lin Xian.
Lin Xian smiled helplessly: "I don't know. The European Storm Alliance, Dawn Center, and Noah are all moving to the Storm Strait now. We should be able to catch up."
"Lin Xian." Kiki flew over and asked, "So are we going to meet up with our team in South America?"
Lin Xian nodded. "The train convoy will all take the Jiefang track. At our speed, we should be able to arrive ahead of time. For safety reasons, we will lead the convoy to continue on the track. Unless there are special circumstances, we should try not to take off."
"Our Sky Train is amazing!" Sasha said at this time. "It can fly at supersonic speeds and even flew out of that storm. It's amazing, and it's also spacious!"
At this moment, the drones that were dispersed for reconnaissance sent back information through the node and summarized it to Viola.
Viola said to Lin Xian with her hands behind her back
[Preliminary detections indicate a large number of zombies and some evolved humans. The city does not appear to have experienced a large-scale invasion. Preliminary comparisons of the zombies reveal that they are all tourists and city residents. No survivor convoys or armed personnel have been detected.]
"What do you mean?" Chen Sixuan frowned and asked, "You mean, no one has been here since the Apocalypse Day?"
"That should be it." Kiki took out her mobile device and tapped away. "The only ways to leave this island are by transoceanic flight, ocean ferry, or that branch line. The first two are impossible. If there hasn't been a sea raid by a group like the Holy City, then the only way to get here is via the Panama Canal, but that should be difficult. If there are no other survivors, that line is also blocked."
"So, this place hasn't been 'searched' yet?" Qian Dele put away his small fan and smiled. "That's rare. There are no monsters, only these cute and friendly zombies. We can sleep well tonight."
"Captain Lin," Shuqin said at this time, "It's not dark yet. Should we go out and search for some supplies?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief and checked his watch. "According to the distance, we should be experiencing a double dark tide at the intersection of Star Abyss No. 8 and Star Abyss No. 13. However, the distance is quite far, so the impact shouldn't be significant. Otherwise, there would be more people on the island. But to be on the safe side, we must all withdraw at 6 p.m.."
"We still have a Level 1 mark, and we must clear it before dark," Chen Sixuan added.
"Okay, that's the arrangement."
At 4:45 PM, the crimson-gold sun sank low in the west, casting a distinct line of twilight across the coastline. The doors of the Sky Train opened, and Ning Jing stepped onto the rotten ground. Behind her followed Ah Bai and Xiao Qing, as well as several engineering drones responsible for transporting supplies and relaying information. "Let's hurry up and try not to make too much noise."
At the same time, the other two teams also dispersed. Qian Dele's signature open-chested floral shirt was particularly eye-catching as he swayed. Behind him, Luo Yang was operating four powerful drone mechas, saying repeatedly, "We're finally on land. Otherwise, these guys would be useless!"
"Hey, isn't using these mechas to fight zombies a bit of an overkill?" Lu Chang followed closely behind, saying with a smile, "But helping to move more things would be helpful. We've distributed some of our supplies to the Falcon Sea Regiment, and we're heading across South America, so they might not be enough."
"Actually, there's no need to worry." Qian Dele shrugged. "There are only about twenty of us. When we meet up with the main force, are we still worried about not having enough supplies?"
Shuqin was more cautious and said, "It's better to stockpile more supplies. We have a lot of space on the Sky Train now, and no one can have too much food in this apocalyptic world. Besides, our plans may not go smoothly after we arrive in South America. Dawn Center will probably have many fierce battles as it crosses North America."
Qian Dele nodded when he heard this: "Your words remind me of my Xiao Meng. Oh, I miss her so much. With her around, I worry less."
On the other side, Monica got on the off-road vehicle driven by the building, Sasha drove the Flying Peach and flew low behind with Ryunosuke. After learning about the situation in the city, Chen Sixuan brought Sun Yuzhen, Mo Xiaotian, Xiaoyuan and Miaolu to help. Sun Yuzhen has the ability to fly and can be of great help in the search mission. Xiaoyuan and the others have not been out for a long time and can't hold it back any longer.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. I dreamed of traveling to Hawaii when I was in school, but I didn't expect to come under such circumstances." Miao Lu said excitedly while sitting in the back seat of the car, looking at the clear sea.
"Be careful, there are a lot of zombies outside, and we have marks on our bodies." Xiaoyuan said cautiously.
Chen Sixuan sighed: "It's okay. We've been suppressing ourselves for so long, it's time to relax. The drone has already explored the route. We just need to be cautious and not suppress ourselves too much."
"It's okay, I'll help you keep an eye on it in the air." Sun Yuzhen gave Mo Xiaotian instructions at this time, then signaled to Chen Sixuan with a look, and flapped her wings to take off into the air.
Woo~
Just after several teams set out, the Sky Train slowly took off again. Under the control of Lin Xian and Viola, the Sky Train flew towards the branch line station in the other direction of the city, preparing to stop there for the night and serve as a gathering point.
In addition to Lin Xian, there are two people left who have not been dispatched, namely Brother Huo and Ding Junyi.
Ding Junyi is currently studying her new ideas and is completely immersed in them. After the Sky Train stopped at the track of the orbital station, Brother Huo leisurely came to the top of the sky bridge of the train with a parasol and a lounge chair, opened the parasol, and began to bask in the sun for the first time in a long time. His job is to guard the ship, and Lu Xingchen naturally wanted this kind of task.
Clang~
At the back warehouse door of a large supermarket in the city, Ryunosuke and Monica respectively knocked away a large number of zombies swarming in the alley. The big man wearing black dragon armor tore open the warehouse door and rushed out with an unpleasant smell. Sasha immediately threw in several small lighting drones. At this time, as the lights illuminated the giant shelves several meters high inside, several people walked in with surprised and complicated eyes.
Shasha breathed a sigh of relief, stared at the huge supermarket warehouse with wide eyes, and murmured
"I'm going to make a fortune now..."
