What are they hauling?” Kiki widened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Titan transport had a takeoff weight exceeding a thousand tons, primarily used in military operations to lift heavy equipment—even capable of hoisting twenty TFV600 twin-tube heavy tanks at once. Yet Lin Xian saw at least three crashed Titans here; this terrifying lifting capacity could’ve easily hoisted his Infinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be something huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian exhaled a puff of frost inside his cold-weather mask and said: “If I’m not wrong, the distress signal you received earlier came from here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright, get in the vehicle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The freezing wind howled. This death battlefield stretched for miles. Lin Xian and Ningjing returned to the polar vehicle and drove ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their polar vehicle advanced, more and more bizarre corpses emerged from the snow—some half-buried, others fully buried, crushed under the treads with crackling sounds of snapping bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningjing’s face darkened as she watched this carnage. Though she’d arrived with a sliver of hope, the scene before her chilled her to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks like Old Shi and the others are probably dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian drove the polar vehicle forward with a grim expression—then he spotted a fourth Titan transport!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath and spoke to Kiki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Four transports, using linked cables. Either they’re moving a whole heavy division’s weaponry—or it’s what the radio mentioned… that super-large mech.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki hissed in surprise. She’d suspected something similar earlier, but the scale was far worse than she’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A mech weighing thousands of tons? Does Phoenix Society even have this technology?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki was deeply familiar with military mechanical tech and knew many classified weapons. Hearing Lin Xian’s words, she felt uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s this massive, it needs ultra-high-power energy and propulsion systems, high-sensitivity drive systems—all combined, it would require an incredibly complex neural control network. Even with an AI integrating everything, such scale would still be limited by material load thresholds…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki sat cross-legged in the passenger seat, fingers flying across her mobile terminal as she calculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if all that’s solved, there’s one critical issue: a single pilot won’t suffice for high-grade state synchronization. If this weapon can only reach Level 1 or 2 synchronization, it’s just a clumsy humanoid weapons depot—less valuable than an airship or fighter. I wonder what solution Phoenix Society came up with, but logically, it’s less reliable than the Steel Swarm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to Lin Xian, eyes brightening: “But you’re the exception. If such a mech exists, you might be the perfect solution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re surrounded by monster corpses—we don’t even know if anything’s still alive. Worrying about this now is pointless,” Lin Xian said grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The polar vehicle raised a multi-meter antenna. Lin Xian boosted transmission power, scanning for usable signals and reconnecting to markers along their route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The further they drove, the more buried bizarre corpses they found. Earlier ones were mostly covered by snow, but ahead, corpses began appearing en masse on the snow’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These monsters all seem to be running in one direction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningjing noticed the same phenomenon and said over comms: “Lin, be careful. Bai says the monster aura ahead is growing stronger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned. He glanced at Kiki—both were surprised that Bai could sense the monsters’ aura, but Ningjing’s warning made them even more alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The corpses are becoming less buried—not because of snow depth, but…” Kiki raised her hand, unleashing a psychic wave that violently tore open a patch of snow. Instantly, a pile of snow wraith corpses tumbled out like potatoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s time of death,” Lin Xian said over comms. “The further we go, the more recent the deaths—so they’re less buried. Someone must be resisting ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click-click~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz-buzz~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had Lin Xian spoken than the howling wind strangely weakened. At that moment, Kiki’s full-spectrum comms unit flashed green lights several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh, signal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki immediately narrowed the signal search cone. Soon, the green light pulsed longer, and a hoarse, crackling wind noise emerged from the comms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…whoosh (wind)… who…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…damn… whoosh (wind)… no…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, Ningjing also heard the fragmented tones. She frowned, then pressed her comms: “Lin, that sounds like Fat Cat’s voice—our people!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fat Cat! Old Shi!” Ningjing shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…whoosh (wind)… down… don’t… damn…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Down?” Lin Xian caught several clear words and frowned: “What are they saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vrrrm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The polar vehicle accelerated toward the signal source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, more dead monsters appeared—the snow now littered with vehicles, destroyed “Iron Guard 3” military assault mechs, hovercrafts with only engine pods buried, and interstellar soldiers in armored suits turned to ice statues. Ahead, a massive black shadow gradually emerged from the blizzard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A transport ship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t look like it…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two polar vehicles sped forward. As Lin Xian and Ningjing assumed it was a giant black hill or some colossal vessel larger than a Dragon-class transport, the shadow grew clearer—and a terrifying creature took shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black hill was a colossal black worm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of meters long, like a giant pipe, it lay motionless across the snowfield, its abyssal maw facing the approaching vehicles. That single mouth, lined with spiral fangs, could swallow both polar vehicles whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both vehicles halted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What… what kind of monster is that?!” Ningjing gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian held his breath, voice tense: “Could last night’s earthquake have been caused by this thing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, what a huge worm!” Kiki widened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian noticed deep gashes across the giant corpse. The most terrifying one had been sliced clean through two-thirds—fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Ningjing’s vehicle, she noticed Bai’s expression was odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… many monsters,” Bai said nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… many monsters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click-click…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin!” Ningjing’s face turned pale. She shouted over comms: “There are still living monsters here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click-click… buzz-buzz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom-boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether from sky or quake, the snowfield trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom-boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roaring grew deafening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian felt the ground ripple like waves. Buried monster corpses erupted from the snow as it shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the hoarse voice in the comms sharpened—now clearly a man shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out… whoosh (wind)… can you hear me… whoosh (wind)… watch out underground!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Underground… there’s… a giant worm!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Xian and Kiki turned pale. Lin Xian was about to drive off—when the snow and ground beneath them suddenly collapsed like quicksand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too late!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki reacted instantly, tossing aside her terminal. Her eyes glowed with intense psychic energy. She grabbed Ningjing’s polar vehicle and yanked both vehicles upward with all her might!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vrrrm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, two multi-ton polar vehicles shot straight into the air with massive overload force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the ground beneath them collapsed with the snow, revealing a vast black abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a colossal abyssal maw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow shattered as a monstrous black worm erupted from underground, its maw gaping wide, surging ten meters into the air, trying to swallow both vehicles whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki yanked the vehicles upward, feeling a crushing pressure surge beneath them. In an instant, the windows darkened—everyone saw the interior of the worm’s mouth: a sky-blocking wall of gnashing fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaah!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki gritted her teeth, roaring. Her psychic force crushed all the vehicle windows, then hurled the vehicles skyward with explosive upward thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black worm surged to its limit, spewing a foul gust, then twisted its massive body, missing its prey and plunging back into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colossal worm tore the earth with earthquake force, diving underground like a fish through water. Its body arched across the surface like a curved bridge, racing forward with a deafening rumble as it vanished beneath the snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian shouted. Kiki, having overextended, had lifted both vehicles over thirty meters. She released her power, propelling them forward in a parabolic arc toward the snow ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, through the frozen mist, a shrill, boiling sound erupted. As the giant black worm vanished underground, countless snow wraiths surged from all directions toward the tremor’s source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before landing, Ningjing shouted to Bai. In the back seat, Bai immediately crawled forward, lifting his sunglasses in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vrrrm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scorching energy gathered around his eyes, and in an instant, two dark red laser beams shot out, slamming into the snow ahead of the two vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he tilted his head upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whooosh—the laser beams swept straight forward, carving a charred, bloody path through the dense horde of snow ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kiki brought the vehicle crashing down, its tracks spinning wildly as it raced full speed along the cleared path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lao Shi and the others are at one o’clock—head there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian made a decisive call: if Shi Diyuan could hold out this long, he must have some advantage. Now that the big worm had been alarmed, neither polar vehicle could turn back—they had no choice but to press forward and link up with Shi Diyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my goodness~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki, falling from the air, couldn’t fine-tune the landing—the two vehicles smashed into the snow, nearly breaking apart, but luckily both were specialized vehicles, rugged and durable, their power systems unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch your sides!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeeeee!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak-squeak-squeak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could even settle, several snow ghouls leapt onto the vehicle frame, their spiky tails lashing violently inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki whipped out a telekinetic wave, blasting every snow ghoul within a spherical half-range away in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ziiii!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the path began to close again, another laser beam fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrape-scrape-scrape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a high-speed spinning blade swept across the snow ghouls ahead, spraying blood and severed heads in all directions. The blade arced back, and on Ningjing’s polar vehicle, a slender, frail girl gracefully caught it. Standing atop the roof, braving the howling wind, she swung her blade with swift, precise strikes, using a burst revolver to sever every ghoul that lunged at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ziiii, wuuu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian yanked the wheel hard, crushing several snow ghouls, then raised his hand and fired the [Mechanical Cannon]. The mechanical engine in his fingertip roared—put-put-put—a blinding blue light pierced through more than a dozen snow ghouls, leaving behind a stench of charred flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zzzz… this way, southeast! Huh-huh (wind)…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the communicator came Shi Diyuan’s booming voice. Lin Xian immediately replied: “Brother Shi, how are you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The windows had shattered, and the howling wind poured violently into the cabin. The steering wheel and dashboard quickly frosted over; the heating system had failed. Fortunately, all of them were properly clad in cold-weather gear, though visibility was now severely reduced by the intensifying snowstorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lin Xian’s voice, Shi Diyuan seemed startled—he hadn’t expected Lin Xian from Wuxianhao to show up, besides Ningjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Shi, Lin’s team came to help us!” Ningjing shouted over the comm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry—southeast, to the canyon edge… huh-huh (wind)… we’re safe for now!” Shi Diyuan yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shi Diyuan’s voice, Ningjing seemed to exhale in relief. She stomped the accelerator, driving the polar vehicle full speed ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud-thud-thud—muffled impacts echoed across the snowfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, everyone noticed several massive four-legged monsters, crawling in grotesque motions, charging toward the two vehicles through the surging snow ghoul horde.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These creatures had no eyes; their bent limbs were like steel, clanking heavily, moving with terrifying speed. They crushed snow ghouls beneath them indiscriminately. Then, in an instant, they burst from the horde and lunged straight at Ningjing’s polar vehicle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom-boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four-legged monster was enormous—even its crawling posture towered higher than the polar vehicle. Its two front legs plunged straight through the hood and tracks. Boom! The vehicle instantly deformed. Standing atop the roof, Bai Xiaoqing leapt clear, rolled midair, and brought her gun-blade down in a vertical slash aimed at the monster’s skull center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, inside the vehicle, Ningjing acted swiftly. She grabbed Bai Bai’s foot and kicked off, using momentum to leap headfirst through the windshield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaoqing’s gun-blade sliced through the monster’s skull, cleaving vertically from the brow. A sharp, resonant clang rang out—the creature’s skull was incredibly hard; the blade only split it halfway before blood gushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kiki also acted, using telekinesis to yank Ningjing and Bai Bai back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom-boom-boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The polar vehicle, still carrying momentum, drove straight into the monster and flipped over, crushing it beneath its weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grab on!” Ningjing shoved Bai Bai toward Lin Xian’s vehicle, then stepped onto the roof and leapt toward the four-legged monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Qing—move!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningjing shouted coldly midair, her entire body radiating fierce aggression as she charged straight forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Qing planted her gun-blade on the monster’s body, kicked off twice, cleaved two snow ghouls aside, and withdrew from the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four-legged monster roared as it saw Ningjing daring to charge it—but both its front legs were still embedded in the vehicle. Ningjing moved with blinding speed, arriving in an instant. She swung her right fist and smashed it straight into the monster’s skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningjing’s fist slammed into the monster’s skull with crushing force. A dull thud echoed—the monster’s massive head collapsed like it had been hit by an anti-materiel rifle. Its neck shattered, and its brain exploded into bloody fragments, spraying backward in a grotesque geyser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch carried such immense force it even carved a temporary vacuum-like zone through the snowstorm ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kiki’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible strength!” Lin Xian thought to himself, stunned—he couldn’t tell whether this woman was an energy user or a genetically enhanced martial artist, but her power was beyond belief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Girl, pull them back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snow ghoul tide surged instantly. Lin Xian accelerated his polar vehicle, sweeping across a stretch of snow, deploying a steel plate defense on the left side, while ordering Kiki to retrieve the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki understood at once. One hand grabbed Ningjing and Xiao Qing, the other unleashed a shockwave to blast away the surrounding ghouls. Then the polar vehicle surged clear of the encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ziiii!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Bai fired another laser beam to clear the path ahead, while Xiao Qing, Ningjing, and Kiki held off the monsters surging from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The polar vehicle raced at top speed; the ground behind them piled higher with snow ghoul corpses. Many fresh, unburied bodies now appeared—evidently killed only moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Xian immediately understood: the snow ghoul tide had been relentlessly assaulting Shi Diyuan’s position, exposing these corpses in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We see you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, barely two kilometers ahead, the communicator’s signal sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom-boom-boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, a wall of firepower erupted through the fog and snow ahead, mercilessly suppressing the snow ghouls behind the polar vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shiiii-shiiii! Boom-boom-boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosive missiles detonated en masse among the ghouls—the firepower was far beyond what Shi Diyuan’s few weapon stations could produce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like it’s not just Old Shi’s group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningjing shouted: “There are others!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phoenix Society?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, look!” Kiki suddenly cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned toward the snowstorm ahead. The lines of fire multiplied, revealing dozens of large vehicles and snowcraft—over a hundred in total—forming a dense, hundreds-of-meters-long arc-shaped defensive line. Before it lay mountains of grotesque corpses and snow ghoul remains. Smoke and blood were swept by the icy wind; explosion craters and crashed aircraft littered the landscape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This defensive line encircled a massive cliff edge at the Trakama Ice Canyon. As Lin Xian’s polar vehicle drew closer, a colossal shadow appeared above the rear of the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow resembled a titan—its fist planted on the canyon rim, most of its body hidden below the cliff. Yet even the portion visible above the horizon stood like a steel skyscraper, radiating an earth-shaking, awe-inspiring might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s eyes trembled. Everyone on the vehicle saw it now: a super-large humanoid mecha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom-boom-boom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Xian and the others drove into the line, the defensive firepower intensified. Simultaneously, over a dozen psychics burst forth, deploying their abilities to suppress the monster tide behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene erupted into chaos. Lin Xian saw a modified train, equipped with powerful magnetic all-terrain drive modules, positioned at the front. A middle-aged man in thick cold-weather gear was manning a Gatling gun, firing wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Diyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—again, the ground trembled. The incoming snow ghouls went berserk, charging headlong into the metal streams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And beyond the four-legged monsters, several winged beasts of unknown origin now appeared in the freezing wind, gliding swiftly overhead, slicing through the defensive line’s airspace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the black worm!” Lin Xian shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Diyuan paused his fire and yelled toward them: “That underground pest dares not come near here—hurry, get inside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Lin Xian floored the accelerator. Simultaneously, his Mechanical Heart activated, pushing the polar vehicle’s power to its absolute limit, kicking up a tidal wave of snow as he charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front of the line, a heavy armored tracked truck activated, opening a narrow gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuuu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the polar vehicle sped past, snow dust erupted violently—the black giant worm surfaced again, swallowing dozens of snow ghouls in a single gulp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Violent tremors triggered massive snowslides along the cliff edge. Large-scale avalanches began, their thunderous roars echoing deafeningly through the ice canyon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Old Shi’s group was trapped here?!” Ningjing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get across first, then figure it out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The polar vehicle had now entered the front line. Lin Xian shouted to Kiki: “Work together—hold them off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuuuum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki shot upward from the vehicle, her eyes glowing with luminescence, her hair stirring without wind. She unleashed her ultimate technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuuuum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low hum sounded as a nearly transparent spherical barrier rapidly contracted toward her chest, then instantly transformed into a glowing white shockwave sphere. Centered on her, it exploded outward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom-boom-boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this colossal shockwave, the deep snow and frozen corpses were swept away like a river. The charging snow ghouls and monsters slammed into the invisible barrier, shrieking as they were blasted backward. The immense force crushed countless ghouls into pulp, instantly turning the snowfield before the line into a frozen, shockwave-scarred clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ziiii!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Bai Bai’s laser beam shot skyward, slicing cleanly through the wing of a massive winged beast. Green, corrosive acid sprayed down in a torrential downpour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom boom boom~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth’s trembling suddenly slowed, the blizzard intensified, and at this moment, the snow wraiths, affected by the vibrations, began burrowing into the snow, vanishing en masse into the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Di, who had been firing, couldn’t help shouting at the sight: “This girl—just a short time since I last saw her, has her ability grown this terrifying?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3152,"2026-06-19T18:20:06.633Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
