Inside the life support cabin.
The tip of the index finger of Xu Shuangyao's pale, slender left hand, which hung quietly at her side, trembled once again... very slightly.
The magnitude is more obvious than the previous two times.
The time is also longer.
Almost at the same moment——
Beep, beep, beep——!!!
The vital sign monitors connected to her body erupted with an unprecedented, piercing, series of alarms! The curve representing brainwave activity was no longer a straight line, but was now surging wildly and irregularly! Heart rate, blood pressure, neural electrical signals… all data instantly soared like a wild horse, far exceeding the physiological limits of a normal human! The nutrient solution in the life support chamber began to ripple due to the violent energy fluctuations!
"Highest alert! Abnormal fluctuations in vital signs! Source unknown! Strength: Mythical!"
"Detected resonance of ultra-high-dimensional laws! Attributes: Highly ordered origin! Originated from the same source as the core of the 'World Tree'!"
"Correlation Lock: External Coordinates - Gould Belt - 'Rusted Heart'!"
"Logical conflict! The target individual's consciousness is silent! Unexplainable physiological reactions!"
"Initiate forced sedation! Inject the maximum dose of neuroleptics!"
A piercing electronic synthesizer sound and the rapid alarm of the medical AI instantly resounded throughout the monitoring center! Red lights flashed wildly! Several robotic arms popped out from the top of the life support capsule, sharp needles flashing coldly, aiming at Xu Shuangyao's slender neck and arm veins, ready to pierce them fiercely!
Just as the needle was about to pierce the skin——
Buzz!!!
An icy, stable, invisible force field with absolute order authority suddenly erupted with Xu Shuangyao as the center!
Swish!
The mechanical arm thrusting at her felt like it had struck an invisible wall of sighs, instantly twisting, deforming, and forcibly repelling! The powerful inhibitor within the syringe splattered like a fountain! The sturdy reinforced glass of the life support cabin was instantly coated with a thin layer of flowing ice crystals! The lights throughout the monitoring center flickered violently, and all the instruments hummed under the strain!
The medical AI's alarm instantly turned into chaotic electronic noise!
Inside the life support cabin.
Xu Shuangyao still kept her eyes closed.
But on her face, which was pale and almost transparent, her two long eyebrows, which looked like they were frozen for thousands of years, frowned very slightly.
A wave deeper than absolute zero, originating from the very source of the soul, a mixture of endless sorrow and an icy protective will, rippled out for the first time... with incredible clarity, like an undercurrent beneath a sleeping glacier.
Pei...Du...
A silent name, like the clear sound of shattering ice crystals, echoed very briefly in the depths of her eternally frozen consciousness.
Inside the cold, narrow maintenance passage filled with heavy dust and the smell of rusted metal.
Lin Mo fled for his life in the darkness like a wounded beast. Every sharp gasp carried a burning pain in his lungs and the smell of blood. Every step ripped at broken bones, the pain throbbing like maggots in his tarsal bones. But the pure dark golden light in his left eye, like a beacon in the darkness, emanated a steady glow, guiding his direction and forcibly maintaining his last shred of life. The energy level stabilized at 0.38%. Although the weak infusion from the depths of the rift had ceased, it temporarily stabilized the situation.
Behind him, the terrifying feeling of being locked onto the icy giant hadn't dissipated! The observer's brief delay had ended! Its vast, icy logic was recalculating, and a more deadly, more difficult-to-avoid attack could strike at any moment! The metal walls of the passage seemed to tremble slightly, emitting a low groan, the microscopic disturbance caused by the high-dimensional energy scanning through matter.
Faster! Faster!
A faint light appeared in the front of the passage! Exit!
Lin Mo's heart surged with ecstasy, and he burst forth with his last remaining strength as he rushed forward! The exit led to a vast underground space, seemingly an abandoned ore processing center. The remains of a massive crusher resembled the skeleton of a steel dinosaur, and rusted conveyor belts twisted and slithered. The air was still filthy, but much better than the depths of the Abandoned Abyss Labyrinth.
However, just as he rushed out of the passage—
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Several dull thuds mixed with the harsh noise of metal tearing suddenly came from above his head! Then, large pieces of metal fragments burning with flames and electric sparks fell like a meteor shower, smashing deep pits into the ground in front of Lin Mo!
Lin Mo rolled desperately to avoid a huge falling steel plate. He looked up in horror.
The dome diagonally above was forcibly ripped open with several massive holes! Several hideous, chaotically painted steel behemoths, seemingly crudely welded together, were visible—the Blood Blade Pirates' landing craft! Like bloodthirsty vultures, they violently penetrated the fragile crust of the junk planet and forcibly penetrated this underground space! From their bellies, scorching deceleration flames erupted, and thick mechanical legs extended like insect limbs, clutching at nearby metal supports with a harsh, grinding sound!
The hatch swung open! A group of space pirates, clad in crude exoskeletons and armed with a variety of crude but deadly weapons, rushed out roaring like hyenas smelling blood! The dazzling beams of tactical flashlights swept like searchlights!
"Boss Sarn! The signal source is down there!"
"Spread out the search! Find that glowing treasure!"
"Be careful! Scarface Johnny's team of idiots got caught here!"
Bloody Blade Saan! They've actually forced their way underground too! And the timing is so deadly! The death stare of the Observers is in front of them, and the pirates are frantically chasing them from behind!
