Chapter 247 Steel Roar: Countdown to Life and Death



The moment the dome of the base was torn apart, the world seemed to be bitten fiercely by a giant beast, and the harsh sound of metal twisting was so sharp that it seemed to tear the eardrums apart.

The cold air mixed with the smell of dust and despair poured madly into everyone's lungs.

The moment Mou Xuan threw the crystal core to Chen Yao, it was as if he was also handing over the hope of life to her.

"The defense system is paralyzed!" Engineer Xiao's heart-wrenching roar was like a sharp steel needle, piercing into the already chaotic scene. The emotion of despair spread like a plague.

The crowd exploded in an instant; the cries, curses, and prayers merged into a deafening symphony of doomsday.

In the crowd, the greedy and ugly face of the land owner was unusually calm at this moment. He led a group of fully armed thugs and mixed into the fleeing crowd, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, ready to gain the greatest benefit in the chaos.

There was a greedy gleam in his eyes, as if the end of the world was not a disaster but a feast for his plunder.

However, Mou Xuan showed amazing calmness in the face of this sudden change.

Without the slightest hesitation, his left arm crystallized in an instant, emitting a cold light, like a sharp claw reaching out from hell.

He leaped forward, shooting like a cannonball at the massive metal beast.

The crystallized arm mercilessly pierced into the giant beast's eye socket, and the time power was activated. Within 0.3 seconds, seven precise strikes were made, each of which accurately hit the giant beast's weakness.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and then passed by at an extremely fast speed.

The giant beast let out an earth-shaking roar and twisted its huge body in pain. Everything in the base was shaking, as if it would collapse at any time.

"Ah!" A shrill scream pierced the air. Chen Yao's right shoulder was hit by a stray bullet, and blood instantly dyed her clothes red.

The familiar scent of gardenia, with a smell of blood, drifted into Mou Xuan's nostrils, making his heart suddenly shrink.

At this moment, the metal piece in the hand of the landowner suddenly emitted a dazzling light, resonating with the metal behemoth.

The ground began to shake violently, and a huge crack appeared out of nowhere, like a huge mouth of the abyss, instantly swallowing up twenty civilians.

Their screams stopped abruptly as they were ruthlessly swallowed by the earth.

Mou Xuan's eyes turned blood red in an instant. He roared, tore out the crystal core from the giant beast's eye socket, and smashed it hard into its core.

At the same time, his left arm completely crystallized, emitting a bone-chilling chill.

"Everyone retreat to the energy crack!" He roared with all his strength, his voice hoarse and firm.

"No...it's too late..." Engineer Xiao murmured desperately. He looked at the ever-expanding energy crack.

"Believe me!" Mou Xuan's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty. He stared at Chen Yao intently, his eyes full of determination...

The purple plasma ray, carrying the aura of destroying everything, was like a violent purple dragon, instantly tearing through the air and rushing straight towards Mou Xuan's face.

Time seemed to be slowed down. Mou Xuan could clearly see the terrifying energy contained in the rays and feel the temperature that was hot enough to melt steel.

"Be careful!" At the critical moment, a figure suddenly pounced over, bringing with it the familiar scent of gardenia.

Shen Yao!

She ignored her injured shoulder and forcibly pulled Mou Xuan to the side.

“Ss ...

The ray almost brushed past Mou Xuan's cheek, and he could feel the scorching air wave, as if it was going to singe his skin.

But what frightened him even more was that the purple ray hit Chen Yao's injured right shoulder solidly.

The protective suit was torn apart in an instant, and became charred black, like the remains of something burned by a raging fire.

But the strangest thing was that from the charred gap, strands of blue light actually seeped out, which was weird and dangerous.

Time powers are fully activated!

Mou Xuan frantically activated the supernatural powers in his body to reduce the speed of time around him to the minimum.

In his perception, everything became incredibly slow.

He saw Chen Yao's expression become distorted in an instant, she clenched her teeth in pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her cheeks.

Something is wrong! Something is very wrong!

Mou Xuan stared at Chen Yao's right shoulder. He could clearly see that what should have been a simple burn had become extremely complicated.

The blue light seemed to have life, moving through the flesh and blood of her shoulder like countless tiny poisonous snakes, greedily devouring her flesh and blood.

Not only that, Mou Xuan also felt that the crystal core in Chen Yao's body, which was supposed to provide energy obediently, was now like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and began to become wildly agitated.

Waves of violent energy rushed through her body uncontrollably, as if they would explode at any moment.

"Chen Yao, stay calm!" Mou Xuan roared, trying to control the energy in her body, but found that he had no idea where to start.

It felt like trying to catch a ball of rapidly spinning fire with your hands; it was simply impossible.

At this moment, the huge metal creature let out another deafening roar.

At its core, a scarlet light lit up, like the fire of hell, filled with the aura of evil and destruction.

Mou Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the metal creature.

He saw that in the huge open mouth, countless gear-shaped fangs were exposed, flashing a cold metallic light.

Those fangs were like meat grinders, sharp and cruel, making people shudder.

What is it going to do?

A strong sense of uneasiness surged in Mou Xuan's heart.

He vaguely felt that this metal creature was plotting a bigger conspiracy.

And this conspiracy is likely related to Chen Yao's abnormal behavior.

"Yaoyao, how are you?" Mou Xuan didn't care about anything else, grabbed Chen Yao's hand and asked anxiously.

Chen Yao's face was pale, and her lips were trembling slightly. She raised her head with difficulty, looked at Mou Xuan, and said in a hoarse voice: "I... I feel... something... is coming out..."

Her body began to tremble violently, as if she was in great pain.

Her breathing became rapid and disordered, and her chest heaved violently.

Her hands tightly grasped Mou Xuan's arms, her nails digging deeply into his flesh.

Suddenly, Chen Yao stopped shaking and her body became as stiff as stone.

A strange light flashed in her eyes, like a ghostly light, cold and eerie.

Mou Xuan's heart sank suddenly. He felt that Chen Yao's condition had become very dangerous.

At this moment, Chen Yao suddenly raised her hand and tremblingly grabbed the charred protective suit on her right shoulder... What was she going to do?
