scarlet.
The scarlet of death.
Countless beams of high-energy particles, scorching hot enough to distort the air, shot out from every inch of the crimson walls of the pure space, like billions of eyes opened wide in hell! Beams of destruction intertwined into a vast web of absolute death, hurling themselves down upon the three people in the center of the space! The speed surpassed the limits of human reaction!
"It's over!" This thought was like a cold bullet, instantly piercing Wen Shifei's mind! She didn't even have time to close her eyes. All that was left in her vision was the overwhelming scarlet that represented annihilation!
In this desperate moment of a ten-thousandth of a second——
"Crimson Blood... Barrier!"
A roar so low that it was almost tearing, like the roar of a dying beast, exploded beside Wen Shifei!
It’s Yun Zhan!
He was even faster than a particle beam! The moment the alarm sounded and the air turned red, he had teleported in front of Wen Shifei and Lu Cheneng, who was still conscious! He crossed his arms over his chest, and the two deep wounds on his arms, inflicted by his own dagger, seemed to come alive! The blood that gushed out didn't drip, but was instantly drawn away and vaporized by an invisible force!
Buzz——!!!
A hemispherical barrier, blazing with a faint blue flame, thick enough to become tangible, suddenly expanded with Yun Zhan's arms at its core! Countless fine, mysterious ancient blood veins flowed across the surface of the barrier, emanating an indestructible will yet carrying the aura of tragic sacrifice!
Chichichichichi——!!!
A dense, rain-like stream of crimson particles slammed fiercely into the burning, dark blue barrier! A deafening, piercing shriek erupted, like the piercing sound of boiling oil pouring onto ice! The terrifying energy contained in the high-energy particle beams was frantically counteracted and annihilated by the dark blue flames! The blue flames swayed violently, flickering unpredictably, and the surface of the barrier was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks! Every impact caused Yun Zhan's body to tremble violently, his face turning ashen as paper at a visible speed, and dark red blood even flowed from the corners of his mouth! The pure white ground beneath his feet was forcibly cracked in radial directions by the tremendous impact force!
This barrier actually blocked a storm of particles that could instantly vaporize steel! But it only blocked the front!
From the side, above the head, and below the feet! More scarlet particle beams bypassed the edge of the barrier, biting like venomous snakes at Lu Cheneng and Wen Shifei, who could not be completely protected!
"Chen En!" Wen Shifei only had time to let out a short scream!
A critical moment!
A figure slammed into Wen Shifei like an out-of-control cannonball, sending her sprawling to the ground! It was Lu Cheneng! The moment the particle beam was activated, he was jolted awake from his trance by the intense threat of death and Yun Zhan's roar! His body's instincts outpaced his thoughts, and he chose to pin Wen Shifei beneath him, using his relatively broad back to face the devouring red light from the flanks!
Puff puff puff!
Several scorching beams fiercely grazed Lu Cheneng's shoulders and ribs! The smell of burning instantly filled the air! His protective suit was torn, and his flesh was burned with charred marks deep enough to see the bone! The intense pain instantly ran through his body like a high-voltage electric current! He groaned, his body violently spasming from the pain, but he held Wen Shifei tightly under him, not moving an inch!
"Chen En!" Wen Shifei was pressed on the cold ground by him. She could clearly feel his body trembling and the burning smell of blood. The huge heartache and fear almost suffocated her!
"The core... disrupt it!" Yun Zhan's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, with a hoarseness like metal friction and extreme pain. The wounds on his arms were cracking even wider under the overload, and blood almost soaked through his sleeves. The power of the barrier was frantically draining away! The light of the dark blue barrier was visibly dimming, and the cracks were spreading rapidly! "That... the data core! Shatter it! Quick!"
Wen Shifei looked up abruptly! Over Lu Chenen's shoulders, trembling slightly with pain, she saw it! At the center of the madly swirling crimson particle storm, at the source of countless blazing death beams—it was the suspended core structure composed of a pale blue data cube! The neural totem symbol representing her brother's supreme authority was now emitting an eerie, chaotic mixture of blue and red light!
It's in control! It's executing this cruel formatting process!
It must be destroyed! Otherwise, the three of them and everything their brother left behind will be completely wiped out!
Hope? Despair? At this moment, everything turned into the purest survival instinct! Wen Shifei's eyes flashed with a desperate light! She saw the large-caliber kinetic pistol that Lu Cheneng had dropped not far away from him!
"Chen En! Cover me!" She screamed, and suddenly pulled her body out from under Lu Chen En! She rushed towards the cold pistol desperately!
The moment Lu Cheneng left her, his back was no longer protected by her, and two more particle beams lashed past him fiercely! His vision went black with pain, but he gritted his teeth and let out a beast-like growl! He knew what she was going to do! He suddenly turned over, enduring the tearing pain, and with all his strength, he grabbed a sharp-edged piece of debris from the ground, made of an unknown material, and smashed it hard into a particle beam launch port on the side!
Bang!
The fragments collided with the crimson wall, instantly vaporizing, leaving only a charred mark. It was insignificant, but it attracted some of the firepower!
Wen Shifei's fingers finally grasped the cold gun handle! The heavy touch made her certain! She had no shooting experience! But at this moment, adrenaline surged, and the will to survive overwhelmed everything! She gripped the gun handle tightly with both hands, half-knelt on the ground, the muzzle trembling, but she aimed with unwavering determination at the crazy spinning, chaotically glowing neural totem symbol at the center of the storm!
