Chapter 492 Scarlet Blood Wall
Strictly speaking, Lin Xian had seen the scarlet outline from the moment he woke up, but it was not until then that he realized that it was not a mountain, but a ship.
"Noah...why is it here?"
Lin Xian's heart was trembling wildly at this moment. Noah, one of the last three strongholds of the Phoenix Society and even mankind, stood at the end of his sight as if dead.
At this moment, a bizarre thought even came to his mind... Has the world been destroyed?
“Huh~”
Lin Xian took a deep breath and stared at the heart-pounding outline. At this moment, a strange sound came from high in the sky, like the humming of some kind of iris cavity, so deafening that the yellow sand on the hull was shaking and sliding down.
His heart tightened, and he raised his hand to open the tightly closed automatic door in front of him, then slipped in.
Then the next moment, scarlet blood waves kept rolling in the air, as if they were real. Suddenly, a row of huge cylindrical objects appeared in the distance and swept over in a translucent state. They were like the tentacles of some giant creature, swinging directly from the sky to the ground, sweeping all the way!
But the strange thing was that the thing seemed to have no substance. The sand and dust debris on the ground were not blown up, but passed directly over it.
"What the hell?!"
Looking at the 'scarlet flesh wall' advancing, Lin Xian frowned and subconsciously activated the AT force field to protect himself!
He gritted his teeth and watched helplessly as the giant wall penetrated the wreckage of the Chengying ship and then swept towards him with the force of a tsunami. The moment it arrived, Lin Xian felt his heartbeat quicken, but the next second, the scarlet giant wall had completely swept past him, nothing happened, and his AT force field shield had no reaction.
Just when Lin Xian was puzzled by this strange phenomenon, the power armor suddenly sounded an alarm.
[Massive blood loss detected, nano-debridement spray is being urgently used! ]
"What?!"
Boom.
Lin Xian suddenly knelt on the ground, the mask window was now covered in blood red. He looked at his hands, and the internal circulation exhaust system was constantly spewing out a large amount of blood mist.
That's his blood!!!
Lin Xian realized that he was bleeding profusely all over his body, as if all the capillaries in his body burst at the same time. He did not feel any pain, nor did he bleed profusely. All the blood turned into blood mist and was forcibly discharged by the air system of the power armor!
"That damn thing, can it extract plasma?"
At this moment, Lin Xian felt his whole body go limp, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted. He immediately subconsciously controlled the power of epinephrine injection!
Chi!
Lin Xian was shocked by the needle puncture in the back of both kidneys. He immediately closed the automatic door, took out two drones, one in front and one behind to illuminate the exploration, and stumbled all the way towards the internal passage of the starship.
Boom, boom, boom, the sound of footsteps echoed in the dark corridor. Lin was now panting rapidly through his mask. After running for a while, he recovered a little from his exhaustion, so he took out a group of flying drones to help him quickly scan the internal structure. On the one hand, he was looking for a relatively safe room, and on the other hand, he was looking for a deck or storage room where supplies were stored. After searching for a while, he just looked at the time and it was about to get dark. Perhaps there was no distinction between day and night here, but Chu Yan said that it was better to hide in a building than to stay outside.
Avoid exposure first, then make other plans.
Every few steps in the dark passage, the ground was littered with various corpses and body parts, shriveled military uniforms, torn power armor, and the torsos of unknown monsters. It was cold and smelly, completely different from the scarlet and yellow sand outside.
Lin Xian scanned the corpses and fighting scenes along the road, frowning as he analyzed, "Many corpses have been drained dry. These abnormalities... are different from the previous human ghosts."
He immediately thought of the zombies he saw when he left Hawaii Island, which were shrouded in scarlet and then mutated by devouring them. That situation was completely different from the previous mutants who transformed into human monsters.
"It's definitely not a good sign. It would be much harder to deal with if we encountered it."
Thoughts raced through his mind, and soon, Lin Xian followed the passage to a living area. After scanning a relatively complete room, he used his mechanical heart to force open the automatic door without saying a word, and then crawled in.
With lights and drones scanning quickly, the air and sewer passages were completely under Lin Xian's control in a moment. It was no different for him now than when he was still in Jiangcheng. It was easy for him to create a temporary shelter. His only worry was the threat that the buildings in the scarlet could not defend against, such as the "scarlet flesh wall" that ignored the terrain just now.
Woo~
The small energy pile was activated, and the lights illuminated the room. He also built a set of completely sealed armored doors to completely seal the automatic door, and then sent out forty micro drones to help him continue searching other decks. In the scarlet, the information was severely blocked, and the drones would lose contact almost every few hundred meters. In order to deal with this trouble, his drones all scanned in dot matrix mode to ensure that the farthest drone could receive the signal.
After doing all this, Lin Xian untied the power armor, and in an instant, a large amount of blood spurted out in all directions. At this time, Lin Xian was covered in blood, which was really scary, but there was no wound on his body. Looking at the scarlet chest, Lin Xian's face became gloomy.
"If that thing hits him twice more, Superman will be reduced to jerky..."
Cough cough!
Lin Xian fanned the dust and looked inside. He found that this should be a ship room for a senior officer. The space was not small, with a separate bathroom and an office area.
Perhaps the battle did not happen here. There were no traces of fighting or corpses in the room, and it was relatively clean. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have to stay here tonight. Lin Xian originally planned to explore this area carefully and look for information about the team members and the Phoenix Society, but the appearance of the strange blood wall just now caught him off guard, and made Lin Xian immediately realize that before finding out some of the conditions in the Scarlet Land, random exploration would be tantamount to seeking death. Even if he was anxious to find Teacher Chen and the others, he could only hide and avoid the limelight.
Lin Xian came to the bathtub and turned on the faucet. There was a hissing sound in the pipe, but not a drop of water came out.
"Hiss~"
He sat down outside the bathtub and cleaned the blood off his body. The extremely strong smell of blood rushed into his throat. Lin Xian thought to himself
"That thing couldn't be resisted even with my AT force field. It seems it's not an energy body, nor is it some kind of physical entity. How can I resist it?"
Countless anxieties and doubts were lingering in his mind at this moment. Lin Xian sighed. Fortunately, he still had so many drones to use. He didn't have to risk his life to search for supplies. After finding the things, he would send transport drones to help him get them. If he encountered danger, he could also avoid getting into trouble to the greatest extent.
He thought so, but out of caution, Lin Xian still took the time to devour some useless electrical devices in the room, and then created a dark energy isoelectric device to cover the entire room, and he barely breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Lin Xian looked at the empty room and began to try to call Grace.
"Grace! Can you hear me?"
There was no response, just like he was trapped in the Black Star Forge.
"Grace..."
"Strange." Lin Xian frowned secretly: "I can clearly sense the presence of the flashing bullet between my eyebrows. Is there something wrong with the South Heaven Gate?"
At this time, Lin Xian had no disaster plants or supplies around him. The only thing he could use was a black gear. Although he could sense the flashing bullets, he could not contact Grace. Lin Xian immediately thought of several possibilities.
The first possibility is that Scarlet blocked his connection with the forbidden object, but since he can sense it, this possibility is unlikely.
The second one is that there is a problem with Grace...
"Since it can sense, then perhaps it can also flash..."
Lin Xian now had some plans in his mind. As long as his flash bullet was still on the South Heaven Gate, he might try to leave the Scarlet Land in this way as a last resort.
Thinking of this, Lin Xian felt relieved a little, and then he took out the black gear and observed it in his hand.
"Hua Xiaoling said this thing can be used to travel in the Star Abyss. Maybe it will be useful in the Scarlet Land. But I don't know how to use it, and that woman didn't explain it to me in detail..."
Lin Xian held the black gear in his hand and touched it to his ear. He lit up the holographic vision in his eyes and began to pay attention to the exploration of his drone.
The drone's light broke through the darkness and explored various rooms and living compartments. It soon found a lot of supplies, but after scanning, Lin Xian found that those supplies, including canned food, had even their outer packaging corroded. He tried to control the drone to break open a can of beef, but the next moment, the can suddenly exploded, spraying out a gray-brown thick liquid that did not look edible at all.
"The cans are corroded too?"
Watching this scene, Lin Xian's heart sank again. This was simply pushing humanity into a desperate situation. He sighed inwardly. Even if humanity hadn't completely perished in the past three months, it must have suffered heavy losses under this scarlet...
Without giving up, the drones continued their search. At this moment, several of them arrived at the material storage area on the lower deck. With a sweep of their lights, they immediately discovered the material compartment with the explosion-proof door tightly closed, with no signs of being opened at all.
However, before Lin Xian's drone could move, countless glowing tentacles suddenly appeared in the drone's screen, and then in the blink of an eye, the drone's monitoring went black and the signal was completely disconnected.
Lin Xian frowned immediately. He realized that there might be a strange entity in the supply compartment, so he quickly mobilized several other nearby drones to enter again.
This time it was even faster than before. Before his drone could scan, it was captured by the silk tentacles that popped out instantly in the picture and crashed.
However, this time, Lin Xian caught some clues. He began to replay the images he had just received and observed them frame by frame. He found that those tentacles popped out from the darkness. In the dim light, he could vaguely see something like a crawling monster twisting.
"Drones are inanimate objects, yet they were attacked. It seems the monsters in the scarlet don't just rely on dark marks. They can see and hear everything, and perhaps have other sensory systems that surpass humans..."
Lin Xian frowned. He had to explore the supply compartment. He had been lying in the hibernation compartment for too long and had just lost too much blood. He was extremely thirsty. If he couldn't find food and water, he wouldn't be able to survive for more than a day or two even if he could build a starship with his hands. Moreover, he saw a monster appear outside the supply compartment. He guessed that there must be something there that interested the monster. So Lin Xian thought for a moment and decisively summoned a "Dragon Girl" to meet the creature in the scarlet.
The Black Star Forge opened, and a nimble female-like mecha landed with a clang and then quickly stood up, its sharp feet planted on the ground, and its graceful mechanical body exuded a surge of cold murderous intent.
Lin Xian looked at his masterpiece with a flash of light in his eyes.
"action."
bass!
The "Dragon Girl" shook her hands, and the VK electric knife on her elbow shot out instantly. The electric arc oscillation made a low buzzing sound, and then Lin Xian controlled the door to open and sent it out.
A silver-gray figure transformed into a streak of cold light in the sloping corridor. Every time the sharp blades on the toes of the "Dragon Girl" touched the ground, tiny sparks burst out. Her slender and deadly metal limbs folded and leaped between the walls. The passage ahead was blocked by the collapsed metal structure. She raised her left arm without hesitation, and the steel cable on her wrist shot out with a "whoosh". The sharp anchor head wedged deeply into the beam above, and the cable instantly straightened. The mecha used the momentum to draw a sharp arc in the air, crossed the obstacle, and then descended directly from the broken deck opening to the lower deck. At the moment of falling, the auxiliary thrusters on the soles of her feet and back sprayed out a brief blue flame, cushioning her landing and shaking up a cloud of rusty dust.
"Slow down ahead and scan the entire frequency band." Lin Xian's order sounded in the data link.
The scanning gratings in the Dragon Girl's eyes swept across the outline of the dark warehouse in front of her. The hydraulically driven limbs slowed down their movements, and the buzzing of the VK electric blade was reduced to a minimum.
Just as 'she' was about to step into the warehouse area in front of the supply compartment, the built-in dark energy sensor responded, and Lin Xian immediately discovered an abnormality on the Dragon Girl's scanning radar.
Something was lurking deep in the shadows of the piles of containers, silently watching 'her'. At this moment, Lin Xian, who was controlling the machine remotely, also became a little nervous.
Firstly, he didn't know what the Dragon Girl was about to face, and secondly, he didn't know whether any movement would cause more trouble.
"Attention, there are creatures in the area, enter combat stance."
Lin Xian's eyes were fixed on the radar image sent back by the "Dragon Girl". The blurry dark energy fluctuations of the creature moved cunningly, as if playing hide-and-seek with the mecha's scanning waves.
Looking at this scene, Lin Xian frowned slightly. This strange entity would not act like this at all. It would directly attack its prey when it encountered it. But this thing could not only directly observe the existence of the inanimate dragon girl, but also seemed to be "observing" her, ready to wait for an opportunity to act?
"Can you see it? Okay, fire the flares!" Lin Xian gave the order without warning.
laugh--!
A blazing white ball of light blasted out from the Dragon Girl's shoulder-mounted launcher, instantly ripping through the thick darkness! A pale light poured down like a torrent, revealing every shadow in the corner. A strange, multi-legged spider, like a stripped-off skin, was revealed. Its head, a hollow, black hole-like organ, bulged from it, from which countless silky tentacles, each tipped with a faint green phosphorescence, danced wildly in the light.
Found it!
