Get ready to return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Junyi looked at the submerged research area and nodded: \"I’ll study the engineering log once we get it back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think the situation is clear,\" Kiki said grimly. \"This is definitely tied to the Foundation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gurgling gurgling~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a series of hollow booms echoed from the drain outlet, followed by a flood of bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled violently, and the water surface churned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Kiki prepared to retreat, she suddenly saw a creature resembling a black branch slowly rising from the water vortex at the drain, drenched and dripping, its terrifying eyes fixed on the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki instinctively reached out and seized it, unleashing her ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drain outlet erupted in a violent surge; water was compressed into a solid mass, dragging the black creature out—but beneath it stretched a serpentine body, extending five meters from the drain pipe, still not fully pulled free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rumbling vibration intensified; Kiki and Ding Junyi both realized something was terribly wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki immediately yanked down a nearby submersible from above and slammed it onto the creature’s body. With a thunderous crash, the serpentine trunk twisted wildly, unleashing immense force that churned and pounded the water, shattering the chamber’s glass panels, then the floor beneath them cracked open—crack-crack-crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the earth shook violently as a colossal black head burst through the ground, the monster resembling some grotesque sea serpent, its skull crowned with a row of lantern-like eyes, shrinking in size from front to back. It erupted forth, half its head filling the entire decompression chamber, while torrents of black water gushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s eyes widened in shock—she’d just grabbed only one of the creature’s tentacle-like lures, and that branch-like appendage had already taken on human-like features, complete with facial contours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Kiki realized her psychic force couldn’t suppress this creature. She grabbed Ding Junyi and they shot toward the corridor at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Da Lou and Shuqin and Lu Chang all felt the tremors—dust rained from the ceiling, fluorescent tubes swayed, and the water surface rippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few who sensed the anomaly immediately grew serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash-splash-splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water poured down from the elevator shaft; the lights on the 9th floor flickered and buzzed due to electrical failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou stood atop a cabinet, gripping a roaring Gatling gun, watching below: \"Watch out—there’s something in the water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shuqin looked down at the murky water now nearly waist-high. In the next instant, her face changed, she grunted, and recoiled backward—before her, a dark shadow broke the surface, and a drenched, black-furred water ghost lunged out: humanoid in form, fish-faced, mouth gaping with rows of red fangs, its body covered in scales, horrifying to behold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap-tap-tap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, her teammates’ firepower arrived. Shuqin dodged the hidden monster, flicked her wrist, and fired a shot directly at the spot where the water ghost had submerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The #10 high-explosive lead round shot out at high velocity; the gun’s exorcism flame instantly vaporized the water ahead, and the split stream obliterated the water ghost’s lower body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water and blood sprayed, exploding into a geyser under the lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuqin scanned the scene—the water ghost, still barely alive, dragged its shredded torso swiftly back into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stomped hard, sprinted through the water, then leapt clear, landing on the wall and springing upward to a high platform in a research room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she prepared to search for the monster’s whereabouts, she suddenly saw countless dark shapes gliding beneath the water’s surface, drifting closer to her teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get out of the water!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuqin shouted. Da Lou, standing atop the cabinet, saw the horrifying sight too—he spun his electric gun barrel, whirring—*doo-whee!*—a stream of metal rounds swept out, stirring waves and instantly blasting apart a dozen black water ghosts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shuqin’s cry, teammates stationed along the corridor as relay points scrambled for higher ground, escaping the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom-boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Da Lou unleashed full firepower, a thunderous hollow roar erupted from behind him in the elevator shaft—like a swarm of locusts passing, dense and relentless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numbers on the elevator panels began to glitch and plummet uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding! Ding-ding-boom! Elevators plummeted; countless unknown creatures slammed against the elevator doors, forcing the alloy panels outward into bulging dents. Da Lou and Shuqin turned—every elevator door was covered in claw marks and strange, protruding bumps from head-butting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Shuqin’s face paled. She shouted to Da Lou:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Da Lou, fall back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou took a deep breath, leapt from the crate into the elevator lobby. Instantly, several elevator doors behind him burst open—sparks and lights flickered; inside the shafts, thick with pitch-black, grotesque aquatic creatures, a foul stench filled the air. All were covered in long black hair, surging out like a flood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doo!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gatling gun roared, spewing relentless fire; in an instant, blood mist exploded like fireworks in the lobby, holding back the water monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou retreated while firing; Shuqin and Lu Chang closed in behind him. The three stood back-to-back in the water, slowly retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can’t go up here—fall back toward Team Leader Lin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuqin’s face was grim as she pressed her earpiece: \"Kiki, Director Ding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Monsters! Everyone be careful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Kiki’s voice crackled through the earpiece, accompanied by wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire floor was now submerged to mid-thigh. Kiki carried Ding Junyi through the air, originally intending to turn toward the atrium—but a flood of black monsters surged from the side corridor. She thrust her hand forward; shockwaves shattered the corridor’s lights and walls, exploding the water surface and scattering the rushing water ghosts. Without pause, she flew back along the original route toward the mecha hangar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom-boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The underground research facility shook violently; the rising water intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the voice in her earpiece, Chen Sixuan grew tense: \"Miao Lu, go meet them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeeeeee!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, a starfish-like monster, covered in black spines, suddenly rose from the water. In its central ring of sharp teeth, a jet of black water shot straight toward Chen Sixuan’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in that instant, Chen Sixuan felt her heartbeat surge—her anxiety and unease were instantly suppressed by this surge of mental energy. Her gaze and expression grew colder; the incoming black water seemed to slow in her vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head, dodging the corrosive black jet, then swiftly raised her A33K anti-materiel sniper rifle and aimed point-blank at the starfish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal stream pierced straight through the starfish’s front mouth, exploding a half-meter-wide cavity behind it via cavitation effect. The 12.7mm armor-piercing round, like a cannonball, detonated in the water behind, sending up a massive geyser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh-huh~~!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the black spines of the starfish freeze before her, Chen Sixuan’s chest heaved as she adjusted her breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gurgling gurgling~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she caught a faint sound. She spun, rifle raised—beneath Lin Xian’s mecha, a scaled water ghost suddenly leapt from the deep water toward him. Chen Sixuan had already anticipated it; without hesitation, she fired mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian looked up—the water ghost exploded in midair, leaving only a foul wind rushing toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Xian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Laoshi, standing far down the corridor, raised her gun and shouted to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Done!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mechanical scan complete. Acquired: T8-Z Vulcan military assault variant (blueprint)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Body scan complete. Integrity: 100%. No mechanical faults.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ooo~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the Vulcan mecha’s enhanced engine ignited; exhaust vents spewed thermal energy, and steady bubbles rose from the water as Lin Xian reactivated this ten-ton war machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hss~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-pressure hatch opened; a corpse tumbled forward, drenched, as if drowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Xian found it odd—the water hadn’t fully flooded the chamber before, and the Vulcan’s cockpit was highly waterproof. Only now, after he opened it, had lake water begun seeping in. So how had the pilot died?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a massive bulge swelled on the corpse’s back—and it burst open. A pitch-black creature shot out unexpectedly, lunging straight for Lin Xian’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, a powerful mechanical arm shot out, snatching it precisely. Lin Xian’s expression darkened as he stared at the creature attempting to ambush him—it was a semi-transparent invertebrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Covered in thin black membranes, it resembled a slug with four tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump-thump-thump~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though seemingly soft, the strange slug clung tightly to Lin Xian’s mechanical arm, squeezing with crushing force—metal joints in his palm creaked audibly, its strength immense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian instantly unleashed a surge of electricity—searing arcs pierced the writhing creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eeeeee!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange slug thrashed wildly. Without hesitation, Lin Xian used his mechanical heart to command the Vulcan mecha. He raised its massive combat arm—*clank!*—the jet-assist recoil device beneath the main cannon opened. He impaled the creature on the black gun barrel and positioned it directly before the jet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-temperature flame projector erupted in crimson fire, instantly roasting the strange slug into charred jerky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian casually tossed it aside. Standing atop the mecha, he dragged the corpse from the cockpit. Then, a sight filled his vision that thrilled his soul:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full military-green paint job, a holographic heads-up display, an intelligent fire-control panel—Lin Xian stared, momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the situation was urgent. He suppressed his excitement, climbed inside, and connected his mechanical heart to the control system—the entire mecha felt like a second skin he had donned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The god of fire’s cockpit wasn’t small; even a one-meter-eighty man in powered armor fit without feeling cramped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hss~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pressed the hatch lock, the combat canopy slowly descended and sealed shut, followed immediately by a deep mechanical male voice in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【System Booting】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Connecting Pilot】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Connection Successful, New Pilot Confirmed】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A holographic display appeared before Lin Xian, showing an crystal-clear external view—even wider than human vision—alongside the smart fire-control system, radar, and all mech parameters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Xian felt an unparalleled sense of safety surge from within. He scanned the cockpit: behind him was a small storage compartment for supplies and food; to his left, a medical kit; to his right, a mission terminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian linked his Mechanical Heart to the shared-control interface. A sharp whirring sound responded instantly, and the entire mech began moving through the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kloop~ Kloop~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy mech stomped across the water, spun on the spot, and marched toward the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Kiki and Shu Qin’s teams had merged, fiercely resisting the tidal wave of water wraiths as they charged toward the hangar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Laoshi, Miao Lu, you two take the lift and provide long-range cover for them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan immediately moved, climbing with Miao Lu and others onto the large lift platform through the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuu~ Wuu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian piloted the God of Fire mech straight toward the tide of water wraiths, disengaging safeties on both the left main cannon and right God of Fire cannon system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You go first—I’ll hold them off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki, seeing Lin Xian activate his mech, lit up with eagerness. She summoned telekinesis with both hands, lifting everyone from the water and hurling them over the deep-water zone of the hangar toward the rear lift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good job, kid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated in the cockpit, Lin Xian glared at the sea of black monsters ahead, gritted his teeth, gripped the controls, and shoved them forward with a roar: “Die, bastards!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuu! Hssss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The T8-Z God of Fire’s dual-arm main weapons lifted forward; the elbow-mounted fire-control recoil dampers and hydraulic shock absorbers fully deployed; the God of Fire cannon barrels began rotating slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, full firepower unleashed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dooooo!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden streams from the God of Fire cannon blazed through the corridor like a storm devouring everything, reducing hundreds of black water wraiths to dust. Spent casings rained down in torrents, clattering into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the left 75mm onboard main cannon roared to life, its shells blasting through the monster-crowded corridor with crushing force—each shot piercing straight through hundreds of meters, shredding dozens of wraiths in a single blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God of Fire mech stood at the corridor’s center, its overwhelming firepower completely suppressing the tidal wave of wraiths. Vent valves and heat sinks on its back continuously vented steaming vapor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A transparent underwater slug suddenly leapt up, attempting to climb the mech’s mechanical leg. This tiny creature was undetectable by onboard sensors—but Lin Xian, with his Mechanical Heart’s coverage, sensed every vibration on the mech’s surface. While maintaining full fire, he commanded the mech to lift its right foot and stomp down hard into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water exploded. The black slug was crushed into a pulpy mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, there’s something big behind you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian was enjoying the carnage when Kiki’s warning snapped him to attention. Didi-didi-didi—the mech’s alert system blared. A thunderous rumble echoed down the corridor, as if something colossal was tearing through floor and walls, racing toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fall back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trapped underground with Shijiu Lake water flooding in, Lin Xian had no choice but to retreat to the surface—he no longer cared whether his team had been marked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuu~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ceased firing, turned, and drove the mech toward the lift. Without suppression, the corridor’s monster tide surged again, trampling over piles of dead comrades, rushing back toward the hangar hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the water deepened, the monsters moved faster—and more appeared in every sector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taptaptap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Infinity Team members opened fire to cover Lin Xian’s retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki, the instant the mech reached the platform, unleashed a shockwave toward the charging wraiths behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands of water wraiths poured from every corridor, flooding the hangar hall. They chirped like locusts in water, swiftly drowning out the lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the mech lift platform had activated. Infinity Team members stood at its edge, firing downward with all their might to block the tidal wave. Many wraiths climbed onto the platform’s edge—Lin Xian immediately activated the God of Fire’s flame thrower, blasting fire upward in a towering inferno.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screech! Screech! Screech!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lift platform groaned with metallic strain, finally rising to the upper level—those clinging to its edges were crushed and severed by the shear force between platform and floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, everyone stopped firing. Silence fell, broken only by the hiss of cooling gun barrels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Laoshi from Shu Qin Tower, report casualties!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Lin, no injuries.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin and Chen Sixuan counted: twenty-some people, all accounted for. Some teammates carried supplies. Everyone breathed heavily, finally relaxing a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t slack off—reload and prepare!” Lin Xian shouted over comms from inside the cockpit. “Outside is a large test site—likely full of zombies and experiments. Form defensive positions!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!” Shu Qin and Da Lou replied immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Laoshi, once we’re out, contact Infinity Team—tell Shasha and Huo Ge to prepare to extract us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood,” Chen Sixuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clank~ Clank~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator rose floor by floor, lights flickering. Lin Xian drove the God of Fire ahead, positioning it so everyone could take cover behind it in defensive formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki operated the mobile terminal, opening the hangar’s ground-level door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Qingshui Town, on a flat grassland, the circular ground slowly split open, revealing a massive hangar entrance. Moments later, a large mech slowly rose from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone emerged from the underground research facility behind Lin Xian’s God of Fire. Looking up, they saw only pitch-black sky—no stars, no moon, no visibility beyond arm’s reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The test site’s dome has closed—blocking all light. Shu Qin, flare!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin didn’t hesitate. She drew a signal pistol from her thigh, aimed at the sky, and fired—Pang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing whistle rose, then—BANG!—a blinding white light erupted across the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now everyone saw the vast dome above, like a hemisphere covering the land. Ahead, the silhouette of a small town emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki soared into the air, scanning rapidly. She instantly identified the direction and spoke into her earpiece:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two o’clock—cut through the town’s South Street. The exit’s in that forest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Move out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Lin Xian powered the mech forward. The God of Fire trudged ahead with heavy steps; behind them, the team advanced in formation, rifles trained on the darkness on either side. Eeeehhh!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the surrounding darkness, a chorus of zombie howls rose. As the flare dimmed, countless shadowy figures surged toward the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian went on high alert. On his onboard radar, red dots converged into a sea of crimson, rushing toward him from all directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Detected large number of unknown lifeforms. Activating pilot life-protection protocol.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God of Fire’s cockpit activated oxygen pressurization. Auxiliary targeting systems powered on. Fire-control radar began auto-tracking moving targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold formation. Don’t engage unnecessarily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eeeehhh!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the darkness around them, roars drew closer in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infinity Team members tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Junyi was shielded in the center. She stared into the darkness, face pale. Chen Sixuan stood behind her: “Director Ding, stay close to Lin Xian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Junyi touched the small green sprout on her head. Her eyes flickered. She wanted to help—but she still didn’t understand her ability. Aside from a tiny flower blooming on her head when excited, it seemed useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flashlights swept the darkness. Suddenly, a red human Gui  surged from the shadows, lunging at the nearest female team member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chang reacted instantly. His light machine gun sprayed bullets—piercing the male Gui ’s forehead, exiting through the back of its skull, spraying blood and flesh. The Gui  collapsed, clawing at the woman’s feet. Teammates on both sides opened fire, turning it into a sieve in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aah! Aah! Aah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, a second, third, tenth, fiftieth…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves of human Gui  poured from the darkness. Everyone fired simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taptaptap! Taptaptap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a string of firecrackers, smoke filled the air. Fire rained onto the approaching zombie tide. Within the team, including Da Lou, there were three Roar-K23 electric rotary machine guns—firing left, right, and rear. Infinity Team carried either light machine guns or grenade launchers—intense firepower held the tidal assault at bay beyond ten meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, everyone followed behind Lin Xian’s God of Fire, advancing steadily toward the test site’s exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cockpit, Lin Xian watched the radar, directing his left onboard cannon to strike the densest clusters of zombies, easing pressure on his team. His right God of Fire cannon blasted ahead, clearing the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki hovered behind the mech. Lin Xian tasked her with handling approaching hordes, conserving energy—only use telekinetic shockwaves when absolutely necessary, especially during fire delays or reloads, when her barriers were vital for the team’s breathing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin and Lu Chang guarded the flanks. Both were highly skilled—beyond firearms, they carried melee weapons, ready for sudden charges by human Gui  or strange entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom! Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team moved in perfect sync. The zombie tide was suppressed as they pushed into South Street. Monsters burst from shops and storefronts along the road; glass doors shattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click-click~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the road’s center, twisted conjoined experiments shuffled slowly through the zombie tide. Machine-gun fire detonated them instantly. Strange black corpse-worms, like flowing liquid, crawled toward the team from the ground. Gunfire scorched the pavement, sparking wildly—but the worms were everywhere, impossible to eradicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kiki!” Lin Xian shouted, seeing this—he knew she had to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki let out a sharp cry, speeding closer, her eyes glowing brightly as she reached down and seized the road surface, lifting the black worms and the corpse tide like tearing up a carpet—the ground shattered in layers, dust spraying everywhere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar of a heavy sniper rifle exploded into the sky; Chen Sixuan fixed her gaze on the darkness above the department store and said to Lin Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, eleven o’clock high—Mist Spider!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsuu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she finished speaking, a massive spider leg plunged toward Kiki’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding! The Great Steel Sword swept horizontally as Da Lou charged forward, one hand gripping the blade’s edge to block the spider leg directly above Kiki’s head—stopping it cold. The bristling insect hairs scraped sparks as Da Lou gripped the hilt with both hands, twisted his wrist, and thrust upward—Shhhhl!—severing the leg completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhh! Another flare exploded, bathing the sky in blinding white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the department store, a giant green spider emerged into view, its six elongated legs terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ooo—hss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Xian’s left main cannon had already risen, firing directly at the airborne Mist Spider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the Mist Spider’s mandibles and two front legs exploded apart, jetting out dark green tissue fluid; its legs fell like ruptured pipes onto the building’s edge, then tumbled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, big guy!” Kiki shouted, then took off again to help her teammates behind hold back the corpse tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As countless human Gui  corpses were eliminated—including the Mist Spider—dark smoke, invisible to the eye, began converging among the crowd. The Unlimited Team members’ eyes flickered; many began turning red-faced, fear and suppressed tension flowing through their gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Junyi sharply noticed this, immediately pressing her earpiece communicator and speaking to everyone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stay calm. Don’t let fear or slaughter erode your reason. Fear is instinct—but so is courage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned at these words, instantly understanding, and barked to the group: “We’re almost through—hold on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Junyi and Lin Xian’s words reached the others; many instantly calmed, consciously reinforcing their trembling mental defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reload!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strange entity at three o’clock!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Concentrate fire!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeee! A shriek rang out as a grotesque leech leapt from three o’clock—only to be instantly snatched midair by Kiki’s ability; below, teammates advanced in layers, unleashing a torrent of fire that shredded the entity into fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the team’s cohesion and Moqi  subtly shifted; though surrounded by darkness, their comrades felt like an unshakable bulwark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emerging from the town, the Fire God’s main cannon blasted open a path through the forest ahead; Lin Xian led the team forward, and soon the Fire God mech’s spotlights found a hidden trail within the trees—the same path Lin Xian and Kiki had ridden their motorcycles through earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Flame throwers ignited trees along the route, opening the light; zombies surged from the forest constantly. Many now ran low on ammo; the corpse tide pressed closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Roarer’s Gatling gun had long since exhausted its rounds; Da Lou had no choice but to swing his Great Steel Sword, charging into the monsters of the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speed was terrifying; crimson blood aura radiated from his body. Each swing of his sword roared with force, tearing through zombies like cutting through melons and vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A female Gui  surged forward, leaping onto Da Lou’s shoulder and sinking her bloody maw into his neck, tearing off a chunk of flesh—yet Da Lou made no sound. He grabbed her head, roared, and slammed it down onto the ground, crushing it outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood gushing from his shoulder amplified his combat power; even as his wounds healed, his eyes began glowing crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin fired another flare into the sky ahead of the forest; its light revealed the testing ground’s edge with perfect clarity—massive reflective panels and metal frames arced upward into the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki flew ahead of the mech, ascending into the air and unleashing a fan-shaped shockwave that shattered a section of reflective panels!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Klong! Klong! Klong! Klong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steel joints snapped in cascading failure; a chain reaction erupted as vast panels began crumbling and falling. Instantly, countless massive reflective panels shattered and rained down from the sky, crashing into the darkness among the corpse horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhh! Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian roared: “Prepare to break out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! The Fire God’s main cannon fired, blasting a massive gap in the horizon barrier. He accelerated the mech forward, crossing his weapons before his chest—Boom-thud!—charging out of the testing ground with overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the surrounding skyframe steel structures began warping and collapsing, emitting piercing, mournful metallic wails; vast amounts of steel and reflective panels crushed entire swaths of zombies and human Gui  into fragments!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, the vehicle’s still at the institute’s main entrance!” Chen Sixuan called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know. Kiki, Shu Qin, Miao Lu—go get the car. I’ll hold the line!” Lin Xian shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know! Kiki, Shu Qin, Miao Lu, go get the car—I'll hold the line!\" Lin Xian shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire God’s cannon rounds were nearly gone; Lin Xian prepared to lead the group toward the vehicle. Kiki, meanwhile, sped with Shu Qin and Miao Lu toward the institute’s entrance, where they’d placed a night beacon—easily locating the position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, many team members—including Lin Xian himself—still bore dark marks that drew the remaining corpse tide from the Qing Shui Town testing ground. Only Da Lou and the wounded Lu Chang remained here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The institute and the Unlimited Team were still kilometers apart. In this darkness, he couldn’t let them run on foot—especially with nearly all ammunition spent. Blindly fleeing through the dark meant suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had to lead them back to defend the main entrance, giving Kiki and the others time to bring the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he had to lead the team back to defend the main entrance, giving Kiki and the others time to drive the vehicle over quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A main cannon round exploded amid the corpse tide, lighting up the sky with fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Unlimited Team members behind the mech now had little ammo left; some pulled out spare pistols, others grabbed short blades and explosives to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the mecha, the Infinite Team members were now low on ammunition; some pulled out spare pistols, others grabbed short knives and explosives to fight off the horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou, drenched in blood, charged through the monster horde. His body bore multiple wounds, clothes torn. Though his evolved blood aura ability constantly healed him, the corpse tide was too vast—and among them were powerful human Gui . Da Lou couldn’t keep up; new wounds opened constantly as monsters bit and tore at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chang’s M566 light machine gun was also empty. His left hand bandaged, his right gripped the GK03 electric knife Lin Xian had forged for him—sparks crackled as he surged through the horde, each slash sending several heads tumbling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian watched this scene through the mech’s external camera, his face grim. He knew Da Lou and Lu Chang were nearing their limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These zombies and human Gui … they feel stronger than those in Yubei City and Subcity 9.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, the corpse tide wasn’t just composed of black-worm-controlled Gui  corpses—even ordinary rotting zombies had grown faster and stronger. One human Gui , its body covered in spikes, actually blocked Da Lou’s Great Steel Sword with its hands. Sparks flew where the blade struck its spikes; Da Lou roared, yanked back, and slashed hard—chunks of flesh flew, spraying blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, the corpse tide included not only black-worm-controlled grotesques, but even ordinary rotting zombies had grown faster and stronger—among them, a grotesque covered in spikes could block the building’s steel-slicing greatsword with its hands; sparks flew as the sword cleaved through its steel spines, and the building roared, yanking back the blade and slashing again—chunks of flesh flew out, spraying waves of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Da Lou parried, a heavy rifle shot rang out—the spiked human Gui ’s head exploded before him, its toothed lower jaw spraying bloody fragments onto his face. He wiped it off, turned toward the sound, and saw Chen Sixuan standing calmly, still in firing stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou quickly cast her a grateful glance; Chen Sixuan gave a slight nod, then immediately turned her gun to another target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time she fired, her lips moved slightly as she murmured:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time she fired, her lips moved slightly as she silently murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eighteen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan’s targets were always the most agile or deadly human Gui  and strange entities. Each calm shot sent a grotesque monster into oblivion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without notice, this former foreign language teacher from Jiang University now radiated a chilling assassin’s aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ughhh!! The corpse tide surged fiercely—pressure mounting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaagh!! The corpse tide was ferocious—the pressure doubled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire God’s final main cannon round exploded, blasting apart a cluster of black worms—their bristles ignited, creating a roaring wave of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a bizarre, twisted sound suddenly pierced the air. The mech’s radar system screamed alarms; the external camera zoomed in—there, behind the flames, a multi-meter-long tentacle-like strange entity darted through the zombies toward Da Lou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster resembled an inverted human, its tentacles crimson, moving with unnatural speed. In an instant, it appeared behind Da Lou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou was now drenched in blood, his eyes blazing—his spiritual energy had reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the building was drenched in blood, its eyes blazing with intense light—its psychic energy had clearly reached its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian immediately triggered the cockpit hatch, preparing to emerge and assist—but it was too late. One of the tentacle entity’s spiky limbs, razor-sharp, drove straight toward Da Lou’s occiput!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian immediately pressed the hatch release, preparing to exit the mecha and lend support—but it was already too late; one of the tentacle grotesque’s spiky limbs, sharp as a spear, lunged straight through the building’s occiput!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon! Harm my roommate, and you’ll regret it!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a pillar of crimson fire plunged from the heavens, illuminating hundreds of meters. The fire instantly pinned the tentacle entity to the ground. A graceful figure descended from above in a palm-strike pose, torrents of heat blasting outward. The tentacle entity twisted wildly in the flames; fire spread wildly, reducing dozens of nearby zombies to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou spun, raising his Great Steel Sword to shield himself—the searing heat wave hurled him backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building spun around, raising its steel-slicing greatsword before it—searing heat waves blasted him clean off his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ash shall be your final resting place!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He descended like a flaming rocket, flames spewing from his body as he landed slowly in the heart of the inferno. Below, the tentacle entity had been burned into charcoal. Lu Xingchen spread his arms, shaking loose a storm of embers, then stepped down onto the charred corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He descended like a falling rocket, flames spewing from his core, slowly lowering to the ground; below, the tentacle grotesque had been burned to charcoal. Then Lu Xingchen spread his arms, shaking loose a storm of embers, and landed squarely atop the charred corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The charred corpse instantly turned to black, burning ash, scattering everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lu Xingchen arrive, Lin Xian assumed it was Chen Sixuan’s timely summoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Waaa!! It’s Fire Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire Brother’s here!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two fangirls in the Unlimited Team screamed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Infinite Team, two fangirls screamed in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire God’s hatch opened; Lin Xian stepped out, watching Lu Xingchen posing amid the falling ash, and muttered: “This guy’s entrance is never the same. Damn, he actually pulled off the cool this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatch of the Fire God mecha opened, and Lin Xian stepped out, watching Lu Xingchen posing amid the swirling ashes, and couldn’t help saying—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingchen strode toward Lin Xian, casually firing flames from his side—a wall of fire erupted, instantly easing the pressure on everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I arrive too late?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingchen strolled toward Lin Xian with effortless grace, raising one hand to unleash a torrent of flame—a wall of fire roared to life, instantly easing the pressure on everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lin Xian could reply, the roar of multiple SUV engines suddenly approached. Kiki, Shu Qin, and Miao Lu each drove one vehicle—Kiki also used her ability to drag several motorcycles, all belonging to Unlimited Team members. The vehicles burst through the corpse horde—Boom! Kiki unleashed a half-circle shockwave, instantly pushing back the surrounding corpse tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki stepped out of her vehicle and asked Lu Xingchen: “Where’s Shasha?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She stayed in the vehicle to control fire support while we boarded,” Lu Xingchen replied seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Everyone, get in the vehicles!” Lin Xian shouted to the group. “Kiki, cover them boarding. Da Lou, Lu Chang, Chen Laoshi, Director Ding—follow me. I’ll hold the rear with Fire Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!” Da Lou and Lu Chang nodded in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, everyone, get in the vehicles!\" Lin Xian shouted to the group: \"Kiki, cover everyone as they board; Da Lou, Lu Chang, Chen Laoshi, and Director Ding, follow me—I and Huo Ge will hold the rear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it!\" Da Lou and Lu Chang nodded in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin, be careful,” Shu Qin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All team members either got into vehicles or mounted their bikes, quickly setting off toward the Infinite, while Kiki flew overhead providing cover, and Lin Xian and Huo Ge took up the rear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vrrrm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, several vehicles packed with Infinite team members burst out of the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian piloted the mech in rapid sprinting; its ammunition was now exhausted, leaving it with little combat capability, while Huo Ge stood atop its shoulder, continuously unleashing his newly developed technique toward the pursuing horde of corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine: Supernova Flame Burst!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine: Flame Slash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Violent flames continuously scoured the horde behind them, igniting the road along their path; countless zombies burned fiercely yet kept running, their corpse oil and tattered clothing dripping and burning away, yet feeling no pain, soon reduced to charred corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin brother, be careful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the communicator, they now heard Sha Sha’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a black train stretched hundreds of meters, its lights blazing; the 1130 CIWS had already risen, its base rotating with intent to destroy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Car 11, Car 5, prepare to open doors. Kiki, bring the mech in first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!” came Kiki’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Kiki was a telekinesis user; otherwise, Lin Xian wouldn’t have known how to fit this 3-meter-tall mech into the train—he’d have needed to redesign an entire internal loading system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The train cars were only 2.8 meters high; this T8-Z Vulcan military assault mech could only be loaded horizontally, unless he completely removed the roof of a car to create something like a research institute’s mech hangar lift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hss! Doo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the 1130 CIWS, having locked its target, unleashed its firepower: a torrent of fire swept across the lakeside plain; the zombies, human Gui , strange insects, and anomalous entities proved utterly fragile against the metal stream of ten thousand 30mm tungsten-core penetrators per minute—limbs and insect bodies shattered like gravel; even a glancing hit would rip half a body apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the pressure behind Lin Xian and Huo Ge dropped sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As each vehicle returned to the Infinite and the carriage doors slammed shut, everyone exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy automatic blast door closed; the Infinite’s outer armor blades extended, and under the protection of thick armor and flap shields, the remaining zombies and strange insects could no longer threaten it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh! Ugh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zombies clawed frantically at the heavy armor, scraping sounds echoing, yet the Infinite stood unmoved; those inside watched the frenzied corpses outside through the windows, each feeling the euphoria of survival, a profound sense of safety surging through them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of people were drenched in sweat, breathing heavily; Lin Xian stepped out of the mech bay, gazing at the Vulcan mech, the full-spectrum medical bay, the piles of supplies large and small, and that mysterious containment device—he let out a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re finally back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s gaze burned brightly; with so many gains, it was time to upgrade his combat power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of
