Chapter 485 Storm Coast
Empty, empty, empty!
The sky train maglev on the track did not have any delays. The huge power directly drove the intercontinental train parked on the track to start moving. The car connections emitted bursts of pleasant and steady humming sounds, and then the iron wheels burst into thousands of sparks on the rusty tracks. This giant train finally started to depart from the track station on Oahu Island, Hawaii!
"It's really interesting. Driving this thing on the track actually gives me a more reliable feeling than flying in the air." Qian Dele said with a look of melancholy as he looked at the straight track extending in front of him.
There was constant smoke and dust on the track. All kinds of abandoned vehicles or debris blocking the track were washed to both sides of the road by the cutting beams and high-pressure jets shot out by the obstacle clearance device at the bow. The intelligent system of the Tiankong train can efficiently detect the track conditions ahead. In addition, with a large number of drones accompanying it, it can respond in advance even if it encounters a broken bridge or a huge rock blocking the road, and it will not hinder the train's progress at all.
"There's no need to worry about the track issue. That's what we should be worrying about."
Lin Xian stood at the bow of the main bridge. He saw that the sea water on the coastline was receding at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing large areas of wet sand and reefs. At the same time, the dark sky in the distance seemed to be approaching the island rapidly, just like when they were swallowed by the No. 5 Star Abyss. In a short time, he saw that a large area of the sea in the distance was covered by shadows.
"This is..." Sasha frowned as she watched the scene and said nervously, "Is the sea receding?"
“It’s a tsunami.”
Shu Qin said with a gloomy look, "It's already dawn, why is the Xingyuan spreading again?"
“Who knows?”
Qian Dele shook his head: "Anyway, it's not a good thing. Don't let it sweep us to some strange place again. It's not easy to dock in this vast ocean."
"It doesn't look like the Xingyuan is spreading..." Lin Xian looked towards the north side of the train. There, there was also a gloomy black curtain wall that was constantly expanding. "It seems like something is being released from the Xingyuan..."
"Shuqin from the building, Monica from Qiandele, go to the ship tower to keep watch, Miaolu and Luchang go to the armed train to assist Ning Jing, and Brother Huo, Ryunosuke, don't need me to say more."
"clear."
"Brother Lin, don't worry!"
"Shiori." He looked at Shiori and said, "Go to the hibernation chamber. There's a violent dark energy surging beneath the sea. I'm worried that the dark energy isomorphic device and the heterogeneous cube may not be able to stop it."
It is expected that it will take at least one or two hours for KIKI, Teacher Chen, Xiaoqing Abai, and Luo Yang in the hibernation chamber to complete their evolution. At this critical stage, Lin Xian is worried that this situation may affect them, so he arranges for Shizhi to go there just in case.
Shizhi immediately understood Lin Xian's intention and nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
On the sky bridge, Ryunosuke and Lu Xingchen stood floating in the air, each looking towards the north and south with a stern gaze. As the darkness continued to spread, the originally clear sky quickly became gloomy.
Ryūnosuke's eyes flashed with blue lightning, and he spoke in a calm voice, "Something is coming this way."
"The sky and earth changed color, a scarlet vision." Lu Xingchen crossed his arms, his whole body surging with fire. "It seems our journey back home is destined to be uneasy. Well, this is the time to test the results of our evolution."
Wow!
In a short period of time, the Sky Train had increased its speed to over a hundred yards, rushing through a residential area and a freight port, and rushing out into the turbulent Pacific Ocean.
The wind was howling, the sea water was getting darker and darker, the waves were rolling, and the sea water on the coastline had receded dozens of meters, revealing a wet seabed full of corpses and garbage. At the same time, large white waves appeared on the sea surface, like the tide was advancing.
Lin Xian frowned, he found that these waves were not heading towards the train, but more like some kind of large-scale diffusion, and in all directions!
Sensing the unusual smell, the pale yellow mechanical light in Lin Xian's eyes brightened, urging the Sky Train to accelerate continuously.
A large number of paralyzed train cars and various types of blocked cars on the track ahead formed a blockage area more than two kilometers long. In addition to the trains, there were also defense lines with barbed wire and chevaux de frise set up by the army before. But now there were only a large number of corpses and zombies wandering around. The bow lights of the Sky Train were like the dazzling sun, causing the zombies to turn their heads and look at the giant train that was gradually getting bigger.
"Ryunosuke, clear the way!"
"clear."
Lin Xian's voice reached Ryunosuke's ears. Ryunosuke, who was wearing black power armor, immediately opened the transparent porthole of the Sky Bridge. A wave surged from his body that made the air turbulent and distorted. Then he flew forward quickly and raised a sword finger in the air!
Swish!
Just before the Sky Train was about to collide with the blocked train, a high-frequency whistling sound like an air wave was heard, and all the trains, cars, blocked barricades and barbed wire in front of the train were instantly blown away by an invisible thrust. Then Ryunosuke lightly slashed forward with his sword, and the invisible air wave silently cut through the steel train and various objects blocking the way!
Although it was said to be cut, there was no sound of metal being torn. It was more like sand being silently dissolved. The wall of death that once blocked the escape of the residents of Oahu collapsed at this moment. And the most bizarre thing was that the wreckage of the car body and various fragments that flew towards both sides of the track did not fall into the sea, but were constantly rolled in the air under the control of Ryunosuke's supernatural power. The main metal frame was left behind, broken, reassembled, and then temporarily constructed into a humanoid metal creation about five or six meters high. The other debris was filtered and fell into the sea with a splash.
Ryunosuke used one hand to cut with his sword, and at the same time his eyes flashed with supernatural light. This operation had obviously activated the power of the lattice, and the terrifying decomposing force created was more than ten times more powerful than the previous simple shock wave.
Moreover, he seemed to have found a more efficient way of fighting. Although those humanoid creations that were controlled and constructed looked like big lumps of iron made of iron sheets and scrap steel, they were filled with a surge of dark energy. Sparks flew everywhere with their every move, and they flew flexibly in the air. Moreover, Ryunosuke created four or five such giant steel puppets with one move, without any effort at all.
Lin Xian, who was on the bridge, immediately had his eyes light up when he saw this scene. He thought to himself that this was a really awesome ability. To some extent, it was like a 'summoning version' of a mechanical ability. Ryunosuke must have been influenced by him and Mochizuki Shinji. He not only knew how to use his abilities efficiently, but also found this kind of pioneering method that could attack and defend without having to rush to the front line himself. It can be said that he was quite smart.
"Pay attention, there are living creatures in the Kuroshio, both in the sky and in the sea."
Monica and Qian Dele each came to the towers on both sides of the Sky Train, which were equipped with electromagnetic rail guns and air defense weapon systems. As soon as they took their positions, they immediately sensed the dense dark energy fluctuations surging.
Rumble!
The Sky Train dragged the military intercontinental train like a steel behemoth that had escaped from a cage, running over the broken rails and rushing into the Pacific Rim Rail Network. Sparks were gushing from under the wheel hubs, and the roar of the engine tore through the dead air outside Oahu. Monica stood on the tower, her pupils reflecting the hellish scene behind her. Thousands of miles of water were swallowed up by the rolling black sky, and the edge of the Star Abyss tide, as thick as asphalt, was rolling with sickening scarlet waves, swallowing up the last line of the horizon at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Monica's eyes flickered as she watched this scene, and she said coldly, "The Crimson Descent and the Star Abyss Expansion seem to be two completely different things."
"It seems there will be no more dawn and dusk." Qian Dele, standing on the other side, crossed his arms and said, "There's no meaning to dawn anymore."
"Everyone, please pay attention. I'm going to speed up again. According to observations, it seems that they can't catch up with us."
Lin Xian's voice rang out in the communicator, and the Sky Train's levitation power and magnetic levitation propulsion began to accelerate again. Outside the porthole, the bright memories of Hawaii were completely shattered. The sea water was rapidly receding at an irrational speed, exposing a large area of rugged and dirty seabed, as if the entire ocean was being swallowed by the dark sky.
"The scarlet can't catch us, but what's in the sea is another story."
Sasha looked at the sea below. The white in the waves was like a propulsion line stretching for thousands of miles, continuously spreading from the back of the Sky Train. After getting closer, Sasha discovered that the white was actually bubbles on the tide surging as if boiling.
Lin Xian nodded and looked ahead: "There's also a tsunami."
The dome was as black as ink, and the wind was as fierce as a dragon. The Sky Train was like a sharp sword, rushing rapidly towards the east along the straight track on the ocean track. However, at the end of the track, Lin Xian saw an almost pure black area that was constantly expanding in his sight, like a hill rising from the sea.
But as Lin Xian's power armor zoomed in, he saw that it was not a hill, but a giant tsunami that was at least a hundred meters long and stretched for hundreds of miles, like a dark wall of hell rushing towards them!
"Can we fly over there?" Ning Jing, who was on the armored train, looked at the terrifying tsunami solemnly and asked.
"It should be possible..."
“Here I come!”
Before Lin Xian finished speaking, the voices of Monica and Qian Dele rang out in his ears. The 1130 and electromagnetic railgun bases on the arsenal ship automatically rotated and began to roar with fire in an instant!
Crash!
Beneath the dazzling white waves, sensing the roaring energy of the Sky Train, countless black objects broke through the water's surface and shot out densely towards the track. Upon closer inspection, they were actually countless strange fish shaped like cuttlefish, with tiny tentacles glowing scarlet, ejected from the water like a conical sword heading straight for the train.
As the 1130 firepower net swept through, a blood mist instantly filled the air, and the clanging sound of metal exploding erupted. These strange fish were surprisingly so tough.
The strangest thing was that those strange fish did not burst out blood essence, but instead burst out large amounts of scarlet blood mist. The scarlet blood mist did not fall with the wind, but slowly froze in the air like a living thing and began to spread, just like a red scar left in the air.
The appearance of the blood mist seemed to make the strange creatures in the sea even more restless. At this moment, a giant orange-red snake as thick as a bucket of water over ten meters long suddenly emerged from the scarlet sea, blocked the mist of an electromagnetic explosion, and then opened its bloody mouth. A stream of black dark energy surged from the snake's mouth and rushed towards an 1130 close-in defense gun on the train's hull.
call out!
Who knew that the next moment, a golden ray of light shot accurately from the direction of the distant ship tower, directly piercing the snake's head. The black dark energy in its mouth exploded instantly at this time, raising flames all over the sky, causing the train's electrostatic force field to flicker suddenly.
"There's something wrong with that blood mist." On the ship tower, Qian Dele slowly lowered his flashing right foot and said solemnly.
"I didn't see the snake's tail. It looked like it came out of a space portal."
"What?!"
Before he finished speaking, all kinds of strange phenomena began to appear in the blood mist blasted out by the firepower. Some were sea worms and water monsters that directly drilled out to attack the train, while others were tentacles, rotten arms or claws that stretched out continuously like a horrific monster exhibition.
"The scarlet is most likely the encroachment of the higher-dimensional space on our three-dimensional space. That spatial force is very similar to that in the Xingyuan." Inside the research cabin, Ding Junyi, wearing smart glasses, observed the battle situation in all directions and said calmly, "Lin Xian, you must be careful not to let this scarlet enter the interior of the train, and preferably not in the front."
"They can't be avoided up ahead, but they can be dispersed." Lin Xian was looking at the empty area ahead that had been cleared by Ryunosuke. The crimson hadn't even spread out before it was dispersed by the train's static electricity field. He said in a deep voice, "Those creatures might have emerged directly from the Xingyuan. They could be of all levels. Everyone, be careful."
Boom boom boom!
Ryunosuke's several metal puppets were like marionettes controlled by him. Sometimes they would punch out with heavy punches to smash the torso of a large strange creature, and sometimes they would transform into sharp blade arms and spin at high speed to cut the flying strange fish into blood foam. Even if a giant arm stretched out from the scarlet and crushed one of the puppets, it would quickly reassemble in the blink of an eye under the surge of supernatural power in Ryunosuke's eyes. He even imitated Lin Xian and combined several puppets into a giant metal arm, which was arranged horizontally along the coastline of the track, instantly causing a thousand-meter sonic boom, and the linked waves blew up a large area of the sky. The powerful shock was astonishing.
A large number of strange fish kept following up through the scarlet blood mist, and the automatic weapons and other high-energy equipment were fully fired on the entire ship under Lin Xian's control.
In an instant, under the dark sea and sky, a giant train flashed dazzling lights and rushed at high speed on the straight ocean track. All the artillery on the ship was sweeping, and blue high-energy beams pierced the sea surface. The dark green armed train at the rear extended the firepower line and sprayed firepower from the sky and the ground. Those strange fish that rushed out of the sea fell like waterfalls.
"Be careful, don't touch the scarlet blood mist."
The building was wearing black dragon armor, and took the external combat elevator with Shuqin to the top of the deck, with a brand new steel-cutting sword on his shoulder. As soon as he came out, Shuqin felt a strong corrosive wave, and the environmental detection system of the executor power armor immediately sounded the alarm.
"I can see that."
Without saying a word, Shuqin pulled out the Remington from behind her with one hand, then bent her knees slightly, and then with a bang, a sonic boom sounded, and the whole person disappeared from the spot like a ghost. When she appeared again, she had come to a large scarlet blood mist near the bow of the ship. Here, a giant arm covered with black scales was slowly reaching out and slapping towards the main bridge.
Lin Xian stood in place, his eyes slightly fixed. The moment the sharp claws flew over, Shu Qin appeared in an instant, raised his hand, aimed the Remington at the arm, and fired a shot!
Bang!
The weird thing was that, although it was clearly an ordinary shotgun, facing the huge monster arm that might be of special grade, Lin Xian only saw an invisible dark energy bursting out like an air pump, erupting into a fire jet line with a diameter of at least half a meter, which directly blasted through half of the palm of the arm along with the arm!
Ugh!!!
At this moment, a shrill roar was heard from the scarlet blood mist. The green biological force field on the black-scaled arm flashed rapidly, but it seemed to have no effect. A huge blood hole was emitting black smoke, facing Shuqin's gun muzzle.
On the other side, the building was quickly rushing to the top deck, and behind it was a strange winged insect with an indescribable shape that rushed out from the thick clouds in the sky. The building stopped directly with one step, and blood steam burst out from his body and sprayed out from the exhaust port of the black dragon armor. Then he shouted, swung his sword, turned around and swept across the sky!
Buzz!
The supermetal-forged steel sword was directly deformed by the swing, and the blade glowed red. A dark energy suddenly exploded in the fan-shaped area in front of it, and the space seemed to be torn and distorted. Then, the fan-shaped slashing area suddenly shot out hundreds of meters in 0.5 seconds. Everyone could see with the naked eye a huge slashing fan in the air, carrying the airflow bursting out from the building, sweeping past, and instantly flattening the winged monster insect and the strange fish swarming towards the train on both sides, forming a vacuum area as big as a football field, and even the blood mist was sprayed in a radial shape.
With a slash of the sword, the building's heart surged, feeling the power of the dark energy. He suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to rush towards the sky bridge in front of him while attacking.
There, Brother Huo Lu Xingchen was still standing alone with his hands behind his back, as if he was enjoying the scenery.
The building immediately shouted, "What are you posing for? Why aren't you making a move?"
Lu Xingchen's eyes swept across the building, and then he continued to look forward with an indifferent expression. In his pupils, the super tsunami that changed the color of the sky and the earth was coming towards them with an overwhelming force. The huge black wall had covered the sky and the sun, as if the entire sea level was shaking!
"Don't worry, that's my opponent."
