Gu Lingchuan sat quietly in the driver's seat, his sculpted, cold face staring expressionlessly at the map flashing on the huge virtual screen in front of him.
His eyes were fixed on the map as if drawn by a magnet, not even daring to blink, as if the slightest carelessness would cause him to miss crucial information.
His palms, which were resting on the back of the chair, were already soaked with sweat from tension.
My fingers looked a little white from using too much force.
Time passed second by second, and every second was an indescribable torment for Gu Lingchuan.
His heartbeat pounded like a drum in his ears, mingling with the faint mechanical sounds inside the spaceship to create a heart-pounding melody.
At this moment, all his attention was focused on the deep red dot that represented danger. As it gradually approached the location where they had just split into three groups to escape, Gu Lingchuan was extremely nervous.
Just then, the deep red light suddenly began to move to the left front.
Seeing this, Gu Lingchuan's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He let out a long breath, as if to release all the pressure that had been building up in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, he skillfully and decisively maneuvered the spaceship to the right, his movements practiced and swift, without the slightest hesitation.
Unlike Gu Lingxiao, who is impulsive and adventurous, Gu Lingchuan has always acted cautiously.
He prefers to plan carefully before taking action, eliminating as many unknown factors as possible to minimize the probability of accidents.
He felt a deep-seated aversion and rejection to gambling, an activity fraught with uncertainty.
However, Gu Lingchuan stared at Bai Ling, his heart filled with doubt. Although a long time had passed, Bai Ling's abnormal physical condition caused by that mysterious sixth sense had not diminished at all.
"What's going on!" Gu Lingchuan frowned, pondering to himself.
Judging from the current trajectory of the Karon zombie, it is moving in the exact opposite direction to itself, and the distance between the two should be increasing.
Logically, WeChat should have lifted the restrictions in this situation.
Could it be... that besides the Kalon zombie in front of him, there are other unknown threats lurking around? This thought flashed through Gu Lingchuan's mind.
In order to find the exact source of the danger, Gu Lingchuan concentrated his energy and mobilized all his mental strength.
Deep down, he kept asking himself: What exactly caused this feeling of danger?
With the continuous depletion of a large amount of mental and physical energy, the answer began to emerge faintly.
Even Gu Lingchuan himself was quite surprised by the result.
Typically, without specific mediums or clues, his abilities are often insufficient to accurately answer questions.
But now, it seems that it was precisely because of the strong sixth sense danger signal that Bai Ling felt that he was able to successfully decipher the true source of the danger.
As the mystery was gradually revealed, the source of the danger finally became clear in Gu Lingchuan's mind—it was still that Kalon zombie!
"How is this possible?" Gu Lingchuan muttered to himself in disbelief.
You know, he had already analyzed the movement trajectories of both sides, and they were going in opposite directions!
As time went on, the distance did not seem to shorten at all; on the contrary, it seemed to be getting wider and wider.
However, unexpectedly, the source of the danger was still Karon! This made Gu Lingchuan feel a sense of doubt and unease.
Just then, he keenly noticed that the dark red dot on the map, which had been moving steadily in a certain direction, suddenly changed its course without warning.
The crimson light, like a beast that has caught the scent of its prey, hurtled straight toward their location.
And so, a thrilling chase ensued.
After a long chase that lasted almost a whole day, the distance between the two sides gradually closed.
Although the situation is becoming increasingly critical, fortunately, there is still some room for Gu Lingchuan to react.
Just as he was about to maneuver the spaceship to change direction and try to shake off the relentless enemy behind him, a huge tentacle covered in dark brown blood streaks, emitting a foul stench, and clearly beginning to rot, suddenly burst into Gu Lingchuan's mental domain like a bolt of lightning.
Immediately afterwards, the terrifying tentacle lunged at their spaceship at an astonishing speed.
Faced with this sudden attack, Gu Lingchuan displayed extraordinary calmness and agility.
Almost instantly, he took decisive action.
The spaceship's engines roared deafeningly, and its tail spewed out dazzling blue-purple flames, propelling the spaceship forward like an arrow released from a bow.
At the same time, the spacecraft's intelligent control system also responded quickly:
"Extreme speed mode has been successfully activated. Based on the current remaining energy reserves and consumption rate of the spaceship, this mode can last for a maximum of four hours, three minutes, and seventeen seconds," the spaceship's AI reported in a cold yet precise voice.
Under the astonishingly powerful thrust of its high-speed mode, the spaceship narrowly avoided the menacing tentacle by the smallest of margins.
However, this tentacle, like an enraged beast, showed no sign of giving up and continued to launch wave after wave of fierce attacks on Gu Lingchuan's spaceship.
However, Gu Lingchuan, who was already on guard, was able to skillfully evade the tentacles' fierce attacks time and time again, even without activating the extreme speed mode, thanks to his superb piloting skills and masterful control of the spaceship.
Only in truly unavoidable and critical moments will he decisively activate the speed mode to temporarily escape the tentacles' entanglement.
While continuously maintaining high-speed mode can indeed rapidly increase the distance between them and the tentacles in a short period of time, the consequences of doing so are extremely serious—once the spaceship's energy is exhausted, they will face certain death with no chance of escape.
In the midst of his tense dodges of the tentacle attacks, Gu Lingchuan still managed to take some precious time to analyze the suddenly appearing tentacles.
After waiting for a while, a shocking conclusion was presented to him: these were actually terrifying tentacles from the Kalon zombie!
Upon learning this news, Gu Lingchuan immediately ordered the AI to search the vast Black Sea Network for all detailed information about Kalon.
Before long, a clear picture appeared on the screen.
