Chapter 486: Divide the Sea!
Downtown Honolulu, Oahu
A rotten palm slapped the huge neon billboard of "Sunny Hawaii", leaving a sticky stain. Under the billboard, a female zombie in a tattered bikini and with only half of her chest cavity left turned her gray eyes blankly. Her empty gaze swept across the dead-silent streets and across the crooked tourist bus where her fellow zombies were crammed together. The sunny weather suddenly turned gloomy.
The howling wind became more and more violent. The female zombie and the other zombies wandering on the street turned their heads to look in the direction of the Honolulu Mountains, only to see that the sky over there was replaced by a "wall", a "wall" that connected the sky and the sea and swallowed up the light. It was not pure darkness, but the black was like countless sticky crude oils constantly churning, in which rolled and seeped a morbid scarlet light, slowly annihilating the mountains.
The darkness swallowed up the Diamond Head Lighthouse and the Hollywood sign that had been a place countless tourists had checked in. It was followed by a tunnel that ran through the mountain. The interwoven black and red waves rushed into the tunnel entrance like a tangible flood, and the abandoned vehicles, skeletons, billboards, and a few zombies that were staggering and trying to crawl out were instantly submerged.
Crimson flooded the pristine white sands of Waikiki Beach, devouring countless zombies numbly. However, after being enveloped by the crimson, the zombies inexplicably began to undergo strange transformations. Their bodies suddenly arched, emitting inhuman, creaking sounds, like bones dislocating. Their eyeballs rapidly expanded as if inflated, first turning grayish-white, then bursting and twisting like paste. The shadows devoured and fused, transforming into strange creatures that defy description.
Ugh!!
Strange cries rose one after another, accompanied by black shadows that mutated like crazy demons dancing wildly in the scarlet sky. The city seemed to have turned into an inhuman and terrifying hell in an instant.
Those scarlet bodies kept twisting and deforming in an indescribable manner. The monitoring equipment installed by Lin Xian lost its signal the moment it was swallowed by the scarlet blood, but through the remaining footage, he still felt something unusual that was beyond his expectations.
On the Sky Train, Lin Xian saw the abnormalities all over the island in his mind, and his expression was slightly gloomy. This time, he felt that the scarlet coming was much more terrifying than what he felt in the consciousness link. With just some sporadic images, Lin Xian understood the power of scarlet. Without the help of vehicles or full-coverage power armor, no matter what kind of mutant it is, it would be difficult to survive in it.
Although everyone on the Infinity now had interstellar-grade power armor manufactured by Lin Xian, they were extremely rare compared to all the survivors. Even in the interstellar army, only elite troops were equipped with Phantom Wolf-level or above power armor. Most ordinary soldiers only had half-cover or auxiliary armor. This was the case for the Phoenix Order and the army, not to mention other ordinary survivors.
Boom!
A sharp sonic whistle swept over the main bridge, like an invisible air wave, instantly turning the strange fish in the sky into a continuous scarlet blood mist. Its power was comparable to that of 10 1130s sweeping across at the same time. Lin Xian looked towards the tower. Monica stood with one hand on her waist, looking calm. The sonic sword in her mouth even passed through the bulletproof portholes and electrostatic force field without a trace and was released without even standing outside. Including Qian Dele on the other side, whose speed kicking skill originally belonged to the category of physical skills, but now it can shoot out high-energy golden rays. It can be seen that the abilities of the two have undergone a qualitative change after activating the crystal lattice!
Lin Xian looked at the dark energy flowing faintly in the cold air. This power was full of mystery. It could make Shu Qin's gun exert the power of a cannon. It was simply amazing.
"Our dark marks are all lit up, and monsters within at least 5 kilometers of the sea are approaching us!"
Sasha sat in the information officer's seat, looked at the radar panel and said, "There are also in the sky."
At this moment, on the surging waves of the Pacific Ocean, the white bubble area is like a line stretching across the end of the north-south skyline, like a shock wave spreading from the center of the Star Abyss to the sea, rushing forward in a violent manner.
The Sky Train was now running on the track, synchronized with the white bubble area below. At a glance, it seemed as if the entire ocean had turned into boiling white bubbles, and countless strange sea creatures poured out, rushing towards the train in a black mass.
Lin Xian looked up at the sky. Now everyone's crystal lattice was released, the dark marks were all lit, black clouds were pressing in, and more flying monsters were constantly pouring in. With just one look, he immediately guessed that there must be terrifying atmospheric creatures in the black clouds.
"At this speed, we still have 30 seconds until we hit the tsunami!"
Shasha turned around and looked at Lin Xian, her face nervously asking, "Brother Lin, are you ready to lift it?"
Lin Xian was about to respond when Ning Jing's voice suddenly rang out from his earphones.
"Captain Lin."
boom!
On the roof of the intercontinental train, an explosive shock wave blasted through hundreds of meters of air, creating a vacuum area with a diameter of seven or eight meters through the sky full of strange fish. Blood mist splattered. At the source of the shock wave, Ning Jing, who was like a little giant, roared with the power of the lattice, still maintaining a fierce punching posture. At this moment, she frowned slightly, and after operating the lattice power, she suddenly realized something. Dark energy fluctuated around her, and her body size was shrinking visibly with the naked eye.
Ning Jing breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing this, but she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she looked up at the sky and continued into the communicator, "We can't fly too high. If we're marked as Level 4 by the Anomalous Level, given the current density of strange entities in the diffusion area, we're bound to be in big trouble!"
"Yeah, that's enough for now!!"
"Be careful!"
Beside Ning Jing, Lu Chang and Miao Lu were under the cover of the train's automated firepower, and they were already struggling to face the overwhelming attack. The two of them had not yet undergone lattice evolution, and their combat power was only more than 4,000. This was the case when no more high-level strange bodies appeared. Once A-level and special-level monsters broke out in the sky, they could only hide back in the train and fight back with weapons.
"I know."
On the main bridge, Lin Xian naturally understood their current situation. The Sky Train had strong firepower, and the monsters surging out of the scarlet were relatively easy to deal with by the few people after the lattice evolution. However, under such large-scale movements in the Star Abyss, it was better not to increase the concentration of the dark mark too high, otherwise he was worried that it would snowball and get out of control. At present, they were on the run, and a large-scale battle was completely unnecessary.
"Prepare for takeoff. Everyone, pay attention. I'll control the altitude. There may be other dangers beneath the waves. Monica and Qian Dele, keep an eye on the underwater world, and Ryunosuke and Lu Xingchen, keep an eye on the sky!"
Just as Lin Xian finished speaking, Lu Xingchen's voice suddenly sounded in the channel.
"Lin Xian, wait a minute!"
At the front of the train, on the high-altitude platform extending from the sky bridge, a figure was bathed in the strange red light cast by the Star Abyss Storm behind, which looked particularly dazzling. Lu Xingchen had untied the helmet of his power armor at some point, letting the strong wind blow his slightly messy black hair. He proudly floated in the air several meters above the train, facing the devastating tsunami wall, with his hands behind his back and his clothes rustling.
"These waves blocking the way are nothing but a mere ravine in the sky. Why bother raising the sky to raise it and only attract the attention of the villains?" His voice was clear and melodious, penetrating the wind and thunder, with a deliberately dramatic tone, as if he was reciting lines on the stage. He slowly raised his right arm, extended a finger, and pointed fearlessly at the huge black wall that was coming like a tidal wave.
"I am here, one sword is enough! I will open a smooth path for the sky!"
"Hey!" The man in the building fighting fiercely in front of the Sky Bridge slashed a flying demon away with his sword, then turned around and shouted at him in a deep voice, "Don't act rashly at this critical moment."
The several metal puppets controlled by Ryunosuke also stopped clearing obstacles, and the emotionless metal faces seemed to turn towards Lu Xingchen, as if silently questioning him.
Qian Dele on the front tower twitched his mouth, and subconsciously covered the power armor mask interface on his forehead with his hand, with an expression that seemed like he couldn't bear to look at it and a bit of "here it comes again".
"Don't worry, Brother Lou. I will never risk the safety of my friends on the entire ship."
Lu Xingchen smiled faintly and did not respond to the building, but waited for Lin Xian's words.
"OK."
Lin Xian responded directly within the communication band. In fact, Lin Xian also had other preparations, but now he was also very curious about how powerful Brother Huo, whose Soul-Dangling Value reached nearly 30,000, could be.
Rumble!
A tsunami hundreds of meters high was like a towering mountain range rising from the ocean, accompanied by a loud buzzing sound that shook the heaven and earth, and it was now pressing in front of the ocean track. The end of the ocean track had been submerged in the dark sea water. Under the track, the water level of the entire ocean was being lifted, and waves began to surge above the track.
Lin Xian connected with Viola and began to control the ignition of the Sky Train's starry sky propulsion device. At the same time, the intercontinental train behind was also pushed up and off the track by a small thruster. At this moment, the magnetic levitation no longer worked, and the entire train was equivalent to flying at a low altitude close to the sea waves.
Lu Xingchen was flying on the sky bridge. His eyes, now burning with white flames, reflected the approaching black giant wall that looked like the entrance to the abyss of hell. Instead of showing any fear, he burst into an almost fanatical excitement.
"There are three thousand great ways, and my way is ashes!"
Lu Xingchen muttered to himself, speaking in an accent straight from some movie, like some ancient spell that could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, full of power.
His eyes suddenly began to glow with orange-red flames.
boom!
It was as if a human-shaped sun ignited within him. Without warning, crimson-gold flames erupted from his body, instantly enveloping him, forming a massive fireball over ten meters in diameter. The air was twisted and torn apart by the intense heat, emitting a sharp crackling sound. The boiling seawater below was stirred by this heat wave, instantly steaming up vast expanses of white vapor, as if paving a path of clouds and mist for him.
A terrifying surge of dark energy, like a literal tsunami, spread with a roar from Lu Xingchen's center! This surge was so powerful that it even temporarily overwhelmed the approaching Xingyuan storm from behind and the roar of the tsunami ahead. At this moment, the peak Soul Drain value of 26,500 was unleashed without reservation! All Soul Drain value detectors on the bridge instantly went off the charts, sounding a sharp alarm.
Lu Xingchen then condensed the fireball overhead into a sword-like form with one hand, yet it didn't resemble a sword. More like a massive blade composed purely of highly compressed, raging flame energy. The light it emanated was a thousand times more dazzling than the midday sun, gleaming dazzlingly across the Sky Train. The space around the sword, scorched by the intense heat, collapsed and distorted, forming circles of visible black ripples! Wherever the sword pointed, the air in front of it automatically parted, forming a vacuum tunnel. A sharp hissing sound seemed to wail even space itself!
Lu Xingchen was suspended under the world-destroying flaming blade, like a god holding the power of fire. His hair flew back, reflected in red-gold by the flames. His face was blurred in the strong light, and only his eyes, burning with blazing white flames, penetrated the light and locked onto the huge black tsunami wall in front of him, which was already close at hand, a hundred meters high, and as if the sky was collapsing!
"open!"
Lu Xingchen raised his right arm above his head, and with unparalleled determination and earth-shaking momentum, he swung it down towards the world-destroying sea wall!
Rumble!
The giant flaming blade that spanned the sky and the earth moved as Lu Xingchen's arm fell, like a long-compressed neutron star emitting a dazzling gamma-ray burst, instantly spurting out a stream of red fire. Wherever it passed, the air was not cut open, but completely evaporated and annihilated!
The next moment, the fire was like a shining divine whip several kilometers long, cutting straight down from the sky above the tsunami!
laugh----------!!!
In an instant, the roaring, boiling seawater drowned out all other sounds. Billions of tons of seawater were instantly split in two, and the waves rolled. A dazzling, incandescent light erupted from the center! Steam waves rushed to the sky like a volcanic eruption.
Everyone was watching this scene in shock. At this moment, Lin Xian suddenly discovered in the visual system of the power armor that the black tsunami wall was actually split open at this moment!
It was like a huge black curtain, split into two by a red-hot sharp blade!
As if a mountain was cut in half, the sea track railway once again appeared at the end of the sight, appearing in the sky filled with steam and mist.
"Awesome." The building was stunned for a moment, watching the tsunami in front of it being split apart by a sword. The surging water wall passed by both sides of the Sky Train like temporarily solidified jelly. For a moment, its brain was a little confused.
Cutting through the waves, is this something humans can do?
"Everyone hold on tight, let's charge!"
Lin Xian's voice exploded in the main bridge with unquestionable determination. At this moment, all his will was poured into controlling the train. The intercontinental military train towed by the Sky Train emitted a deafening roar from its engine and began to accelerate explosively!
Woo!
The Sky Train, with its guns blazing and an electrostatic field flashing, suddenly rushed into the water mist. The huge tsunami walls on both sides were still twisting and collapsing, and the light suddenly dimmed at this moment!
Rumble!
Lin Xian felt as if they had rushed into a black hole at this moment. All his vision became pitch black, and countless waves and water vapor hit the armor. Lu Chang, Miao Lu and others on the intercontinental train behind him had already retreated into the carriage to hide. All everyone could hear was a roar between heaven and earth, but even if they couldn't see, everyone knew that billions of tons of waves were falling around them and above their heads.
On the Sky Bridge, Ryunosuke disintegrated all the puppets. With a push of his five fingers, a shockwave blew away the mist. In an instant, the surging waves above and on either side of the train suddenly closed inward with devastating force. Now, only a curved dome-shaped passage remained ahead, and it was shrinking.
At the same time, in the black sea water, all kinds of strange creatures with tentacles and sharp claws flashed by in the dark shadows.
Time seemed to be stretched, every second felt like a century, and everyone held their breath, staring at the light that was getting closer and closer in front of them.
finally!
Buzz——!
The Sky Train dragged the intercontinental military train and rushed out from the channel of blazing white light like an arrow!
Suddenly, everything becomes clear!
They rushed to the other side of the tsunami wall!
