Chapter 1261: Chapter 486: Staring
The sky thunderclouds raged, the seas surged with mighty waves, and within a few short minutes, the Sky Dome Train broke the sound barrier in the gale, pulling the military train along the ocean tracks which were almost invisible, repeatedly submerged by waves. Lin Xian stood on the main bridge, his gaze fixed on the terrifying tsunami that had annihilated everything behind him, as well as the crimson tide of black clouds farther in the sky, his expression stern.
At this moment, they had clearly charged out of the spreading range of the black curtain, and the Dark Mark on them was completely cleared, following the might of Lu Xingchen’s wave-splitting sword that eradicated a large area of unknown Abnormal Body within the tsunami!
In an instant, the previously raging firepower of the Sky Dome Train suddenly calmed down, leaving only the howling gale, with tens of meters of giant waves churning below in the Black Water.
"We should be out, that was close."
Ning Jing returned to the bridge, her figure having shrunk back almost halfway by now, appearing to be less than 1.9 meters tall, which still seemed quite tall compared to before, yet looked notably more normal now.
"We got lucky. If this crimson tide had erupted last night, we’d probably all be done for here."
Lin Xian turned his head to look at her, frowning slightly: "You can control your body size now?"
Ning Jing unlocked the helmet of her Power Armor, nodded towards Lin Xian with a head full of sweat: "It’s still a bit chaotic, but after fully activating the Crystal Grid, I found some means. I always suspected my superpower type, Phoenix Society defined it as Super Body Technique Genetic Evolution type, but now it seems still somewhat different."
"Do you suspect yourself to be some type of Superpower System?" Lin Xian asked.
"Isn’t it obvious?" Ning Jing frowned: "If I actively release that ability now, I should immediately return to the previous body size, perhaps even..." She paused, without continuing.
At this time, Ryuji and Lu Xingchen along with their group from Da Lou quickly entered the main bridge, Sha Sha saw Brother Huo return, immediately stood up on her seat, looked at him in surprise, and loudly said.
"Wow, not bad Brother Huo, today you’ve made me have a bit of admiration for you~"
"Indeed very impressive." Shu Qin entered following and echoed, looking at Lu Xingchen: "Without some mental preparation, it’s hard to believe this is the power humans can wield now. I feel like Brother Huo now might even be able to battle S-Class."
"Exactly exactly!" Lv Chang, at this moment, showed an expression of fandom: "So cool, slicing the tsunami in half with one sword, hey dude, that’s too exaggerated."
"Decided, I thought it was a bit juvenile before, but from today, you are Fire God to me." The automatic door opened, Qian Deli’s voice sounded, as he and Monica entered one after the other.
The other Da Lou, Ryuji, also looked towards Lu Xingchen, evidently acknowledging his feat just now.
"Just a small effort, the crisis just now was overcome by the teamwork of everyone."
Lu Xingchen evidently enjoyed the moment of praise from everyone, his posture straight as a sword, hands behind his back, with an undeniable sense of pride and joy in his eyes. At this moment, he inexplicably felt an unparalleled heroism, the oppressive mood from earlier in Xilan and Dawn City seemed to vanish completely.
"Brother Lin and everyone, rest assured, our combat strength still has vast room for improvement. I believe that even greater crises can be overcome in the future."
Lin Xian chuckled, interrupting at this point: "Alright, we haven’t completely passed through this Black Gas area yet, but the surveillance aircraft has already transmitted data back, indicating that the forces of the dark side’s invasive are gradually reducing, meaning we are indeed escaping the hazardous zone."
Monica stood at the back, her gaze lingering on Lin Xian, speaking softly: "Surveillance aircraft? When did you launch it, or did you make other preparations just now?"
"Just insurance, since we’ve already escaped, let’s focus on this issue now."
Lin Xian raised his hand and pointed, with shimmering blue information waves in his eyes. The Mechanical Heart intricately linked with Viola’s core of wisdom, projecting a holographic display before everyone. He organized and played the footage captured by city surveillance across various regions.
At this moment, Ding Junyi and Xiao Yuan from the science research room also arrived, glancing at the footage, all with complex expressions.
"It seems like the zombies have mutated under the influence of the crimson tide?" Xiao Yuan asked softly.
"The speed is fast, as soon as covered the influence immediately appeared." Ning Jing frowned, speaking solemnly: "This situation, it’s just like..."
"Like what?" Someone asked.
"Like Apocalypse Day, right?" Shu Qin replied.
Ning Jing nodded.
"So, is this like the second wave of extinction calamity from Star Abyss?" Qian Deli crossed his arms, among all, only his expression remained relatively calm: "What is it, the first wave didn’t finish them, so the attack has been intensified?"
Lv Chang sighed a little, spoke somewhat pessimistically: "It’s really uncanny. Originally thought the biggest hurdle was the S-Class corpse chaser, we barely advanced our superpowers, yet Star Abyss unleashed even more despairing forces, this..."
"Lv Chang, no need to think entirely in that way."
Lin Xian looked at him and expressed his thoughts: "Leaving aside the conspiracy theories about civilization experiments, strategically speaking, accomplishing the task in one decisive battle is the best policy. While the changes of Star Abyss are uncertain if humanity can survive, being rationally viewed, it’s not as terrifying as during Apocalypse Day."
