With my suspended body at its center, the air began to violently twist and ripple! An invisible force field, like ripples on water, spread outward in circles! The tiny dust and glass fragments on the ground were pulled by an invisible force, suspended in a gravity-defying manner, and spun wildly around me!
"What is it...doing?!" A team member looked at this supernatural scene, his voice shaking.
"Stop it! No matter what it is! It's looking for death! It will kill us too!" Another team member roared, raising the heavy pulse rifle in his hand, and energy light gathered at the muzzle!
"Don't shoot!!" Jiang Li struggled to lift himself up from the wreckage of the console. Blood streaked at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the floating "me," or rather, the madly flowing golden lines on the back of "me"'s neck. "It's... fighting the tsunami! Logic... it's calculating... the probability of survival!"
Fighting tsunamis?!
The moment Jiang Li finished speaking——
The suspended "I" pushed my arms forward suddenly!
There was no sound. No light or shadow effects.
But everyone felt it!
An invisible and intangible, yet unimaginably huge "will", like an icy beam of light shot out from the universe, instantly crossed the space at a speed beyond the laws of physics and "crashed" heavily into the overwhelming black wall!
That wasn't an energy shock, but more like a... logical "negation"! A forced "tampering" with the laws of physics!
Boom boom boom——!!!
The extremely dull roar suddenly intensified! At the very front and core of the seemingly unstoppable black wall, there was an extremely brief, extremely tiny... stagnation!
It was like a surging steel torrent crashing into an invisible, absolutely rigid wall!
Even if it’s only for a moment!
In this frozen moment of one billionth of a second!
Crash--!!!
The inky water, forcibly lifted and squeezed to its limit, seemed to have its internal structure forcibly "disrupted" by this terrifying logical shock! A small area of the water, as if losing some kind of internal cohesion, suddenly collapsed and disintegrated! No longer a massive, moving wall, it transformed into countless violent, turbulent currents, colliding and devouring each other!
Although this "collapse" was insignificant relative to the entire size of the wall, like a small piece of flesh being ripped off from a giant elephant, it did happen! The wall's forward speed experienced a slight, yet perceptible slowdown!
"Success...success?!" A team member widened his eyes in disbelief.
"No..." Jiang Li's expression became even uglier. He looked at the suspended "me" and said in a dry voice, "It's...burning...the carrier!"
Yes!
"I" am suspended in mid-air, and my body is undergoing horrible changes!
The eerie golden lines on the back of my neck shone with a dazzling intensity! The golden light beneath my skin surged and swelled like uncontrolled lava! Fine, cracked bloodstains began to appear on my body, like cracks in porcelain! Dark red blood gushed out uncontrollably from my seven orifices! Every heartbeat was like an engine on the verge of exploding! My body trembled violently under the strain of the overwhelming load, and my suspended form became shaky!
“Carrier…load…overload…critical point…logic core…stability…declining…warning…” For the first time, the cold voice inside the head began to speak in a discontinuous and noisy tone similar to “unable to do anything”.
"Entropy" is overdrawing this body! It is using Lin Xi's life as fuel to fight against the physical force that represents the natural disaster!
Outside the window, the massive black wall, after its initial slight stagnation and partial collapse, seemed to be completely enraged! The ocean's fury was ignited! It roared even deeper and more terrifyingly! The disturbed area was quickly filled and reinforced by the surrounding ocean's vast expanse! Not only did its speed recover, but it even became even more violent due to the energy's impact and rebound! Carrying more shattered steel and building debris, like a maddened world-destroying demonic beast, it crashed towards the city, towards "me" suspended in the ruins of the control room, with even greater ferocity!
Time is running out!
"Lin Xi!!" Jiang Li's roar was filled with a heart-wrenching pain and determination. He suddenly looked out the window at the giant wall of destruction that was getting closer and closer, covering half of the sky. He then looked at "me" who was floating in the air, his body on the verge of collapse. Countless complex emotions flashed through his eyes in an instant - despair, struggle, madness... and finally turned into a desperate light!
"Chen Si! I know you can hear me!" Jiang Li raised his head abruptly and roared into the air filled with smoke and the smell of death. His voice was like the final howl of a wounded lone wolf, filled with deep hatred and a strange, mad attempt at negotiation. "You want to destroy this city! Destroy this out-of-control AI! But 'Entropy' has awakened! It's here! In Lin Xi's body! Your 'Lu Chen' can't kill it! It will only force it into a dead end! Force it to release completely! Do you want an out-of-control 'Entropy' to be reborn in these ruins, carrying all your secrets with it?!!"
Jiang Li's roar echoed in the crumbling control room, and every word was like a poisoned dagger, stabbing into the void.
He was gambling. He was gambling that Chensi could hear him. He was gambling that Chensi's fear of "entropy" far outweighed his desire to destroy the city.
Outside the window, the all-consuming black wall was only a few kilometers away from the city's core! The shadow of destruction was like a tangible curtain, completely obscuring the sky. The deafening sound of crushing destruction, like the drums of death, hammered in the hearts of every survivor.
