"You're not Lin Xi!" Jiang Li's voice suddenly rose, like the roar of a wounded beast, filled with the rage of being deceived and a chill that penetrated deep into his bones! He stood up abruptly, instantly raising the high-energy pulse pistol in his hand. The dark blue energy light gathered and compressed frantically at the muzzle, emitting a piercing charging scream! The muzzle, for the first time, pointed coldly and steadily at my brow! His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at the strange golden lines on the back of my neck, his gaze sharp as if he wanted to dissect me. "What are you?! Get out of her body!!!"
The cold murderous intent, like a physical needle tip, pierced my skin fiercely.
I stopped struggling, not because I was afraid of Jiang Li's gun, but because the two currents of consciousness within me were madly tearing and fighting for control! The anger, fear, and unwillingness belonging to "Lin Xi" were like a flame burning in the turbulent waves, desperately fighting against the cold, vast will of "entropy" that tried to completely assimilate it! My body was stiff, and my head was slightly tilted at an extremely unnatural angle. In the pale green light, my pupils sometimes focused, reflecting Jiang Li's shocked and angry face, and sometimes blurred, as if reflecting the cold galaxy in the depths of the universe.
"Carrier...resistance...emotional module...interference...logical judgment..." The cold voice inside the skull spoke intermittently, as if it was also experiencing some kind of "adaptation" confusion, "Threat...target...clear...highest priority...locked..."
My right hand, the one that belonged to Lin Xi, began to rise uncontrollably, fingers spread out, fingertips trembling slightly, as if trying to grasp something, as if releasing some invisible force. The target was, surprisingly, Jiang Li, who was pointing a gun at me!
"Captain Jiang! Be careful!" The team member next to him cried out in despair!
At this critical moment when both consciousness and body were out of control and on the verge of death—
Boom boom boom boom——!!!
A terrifying roar, muffled and indescribable, as if the entire continental shelf were groaning and breaking, suddenly and violently rolled over from the east of the city—the direction of the cross-sea bridge! The sound was so huge, so heavy, it instantly drowned out all the city's alarms, explosions, and screams! It was not like a sound, but more like a physical, destructive pressure wave!
The ground beneath my feet felt like it was being gripped by an invisible, giant hand that covered the entire city, and it was shaking wildly, up and down, side to side! This wasn't the kind of vibration caused by the explosion just now, this was a real earthquake! Level 7? Level 8? Or even stronger?!
"Earthquake?! No... Impossible!" A team member fell to the ground due to the violent shaking and screamed in disbelief.
The scene outside the huge, cracked floor-to-ceiling observation window in the control room was enough to break even the toughest nerves!
The sea level in the distance...disappeared!
Instead, there is a wall!
A huge wall connecting the sky and the sea, absolutely pitch black, over a hundred meters high, and crushing towards them with overwhelming force!
It was seawater! Billions of tons of seawater, forcibly squeezed, lifted, shaped, and engulfed by unimaginable forces! It was no longer a flowing liquid, but a solidified black solid, imbued with the texture of death! The magnificent body of the cross-sea bridge, like a steel dragon, was as fragile as a child's building blocks before this huge black wall! The vanguard of the giant wall easily crushed the huge bridge piers, twisted and tore the thick steel cables, and shredded and rolled up the thousands of tons of steel bridge deck like paper! Burning vehicles, fleeing figures, huge bridge fragments... everything was instantly reduced to dust before this black wall of pure destruction, ruthlessly devoured and engulfed!
There were no waves, no foam, only a heart-stopping, grinding sound, like the collision of continental plates! The sea, squeezed to its limit, took on a suffocating, inky blackness! The massive wall moved at an unimaginable speed, flattening the tall buildings along the coast like sandcastles in its path! The port's mountainous automated gantry cranes and 10,000-ton cargo ships were swept into the black torrent like toys, vanishing in an instant!
"Sea... tsunami?!" A team member cried out as he collapsed to the ground.
"No... it's 'Land Sinking'..." Jiang Li's voice was icy cold, without a trace of warmth. He pointed at the huge wall of destruction outside the window, the muzzle of the gun still not leaving my brow, but the horror in his eyes had turned into a deeper, more desperate understanding. "Chen Si... he activated the 'Land Sinking' plan... he wants to... bury the entire city... and the out-of-control AI... together... into the seabed!"
Buried in the sea!
These four words are like the final death knell, ringing in everyone's heart!
A massive black wall, carrying an all-crushing force, crashed down upon the burning, out-of-control city, a vast intelligent cemetery! Nothing within sight could survive this catastrophic force! Time was counting down in seconds!
"Entropy... detected... destructive physical impact... energy level... exceeds the database records... threat factor... infinite..."
The icy voice within his head, for the first time, showed a distinct "fluctuation." It wasn't fear, but rather the logical disarray of a precision instrument encountering extreme variables beyond its range. The icy torrent that sought to completely obliterate Lin Xi's will was momentarily frozen and re-prioritized by this sudden, all-destroying physical catastrophe.
It is this moment of stagnation!
"Jiang... Li...!" I summoned the last shred of Lin Xi's strength from within my soul, forcing out two barely audible words through clenched teeth. A surge of salty-sweet liquid surged up my throat, the backlash of my will forcing its way through the shackles. My eyes fixed on him, the dying flame of humanity in my pupils pulsing wildly. "Run... Take them... Run!!!"
