Chapter 432: Advent Storm

Above the originally dead-silent Haiyan City, the roaring storm kept attacking the city. On the distant sea level, black clouds hung down like an iron curtain, pressing the entire sky extremely low, as if it would smash into the sea at any time. The clouds rolled and twisted, and dark purple electric light flashed inside from time to time, but there was no thunder, only a suffocating silence.

The ruins of the city streets looked even more dilapidated in the dim daylight. The broken high-rise buildings were like skeletons gnawed by giant beasts, and the glass fragments reflected ominous light. The palm trees on the coastal avenue had long withered, and the dry branches and leaves made a rustling friction sound in the wind, as if some kind of creature was whispering.

Lin Xian, Kiki, and Hearing Shizhi flew past from low altitude quickly, heading toward the direction of the Infinite at the orbital station. The power armor holographic display screen kept flickering, and the Geiger counter's alarm sound continued, as if all signals were subjected to some kind of strong interference under this storm.

"In the clouds, in the sky, there are so many monsters' auras..."

Hearing Shizhi's tone was nervous. This feeling of black clouds pressing down made her feel as if she had returned to that night in Dawn City.

"Lin Xian, have you contacted them?" Kiki said to Lin Xian, using telekinesis to support a telekinetic shield to block the strong wind.

"No!"

Lin Xian took the two of them and flew past the streets at high speed, bringing up a violent wind pressure, blowing debris flying. He looked up at the sky where the wild thunder was rolling and said in a deep voice,

"They should all be retreating back to the Infinite. If they encounter any trouble, several teams should be able to respond flexibly."

"Good!"

Whoosh!

On the east coast of Haiyan Island, outside the connection port beach, the sea surface began to boil.

It wasn't an ordinary surge, but the entire sea area seemed to be boiling, rolling up turbid foam. Under the black seawater, huge shadows could be vaguely seen swimming, occasionally floating to the surface, revealing translucent fluorescent bodies, and then quickly sinking into the depths.

"The situation is not good." Xiang Xiang Ningjing looked at this scene, her face sinking. She immediately called all the members, preparing to evacuate.

"Careful!"

"Where is Abai?" Xiang Xiang Ningjing called for Fire Brother, but didn't see Abai's figure.

"Over there!" Xiaoqing jumped onto the roof of a seaside residential building and shouted in the strong wind.

"You... look!"

Abai's voice came from the communicator. At this time, Xiang Xiang Ningjing and Fire Brother all climbed up and found that below the highway was a black stone beach with jagged rocks. As soon as they landed, Lu Xingchen immediately saw a large number of whale corpses stranded and dead on the edge of the beach. These deep-sea creatures had been rare since the Apocalypse Day, but here, dozens of them appeared inexplicably.

"Abai, what did you see?" Xiang Xiang Ningjing came to Abai's side and found Abai looking up at the low black clouds over the outer sea at this moment. He slowly raised his hand and said nervously, "Can't you see? There is something there!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiang Xiang Ningjing and Lu Xingchen looked up, but only saw the pitch-black and boiling sea surface under the storm, and saw nothing.

"Concentrate!"

Xiaoqing swung from a high place, her voice saying solemnly, "You have to use mental power to block the storm's invasion to see it!"

Xiang Xiang Ningjing frowned. She immediately operated her full ability peak. In an instant, she felt the sea breeze blowing on the outer shell of the power armor start to become sticky and heavy. Under the roaring storm, she looked up at the pitch-black sea area again. This time, her pupils narrowed, and an extremely terrifying scene appeared before her eyes.

Right beneath the black clouds on the sea, several indescribable creatures as huge as mountains were suspended above the sea surface like hunched, curled skeletons, slowly drifting and moving in the same posture and motion toward one direction, with countless enormous tentacles and limbs hanging down onto the sea surface, like upside-down giant trees!

"What kind of evil spirit is floating in the air in broad daylight!"

Seeing this scene, Fire Brother's face also changed greatly. The visual impact of the scene was extremely strong. These giant monster bodies were all hunched with their heads in the same infant-curled posture, weirdly moving toward a certain direction. The beach was covered with a large number of whale corpses, like a scene of doomsday!

"We have to retreat quickly, all information is interrupted."

Boom!

In the industrial port area, a large number of sounds suddenly came. At the same time, Abai looked at the boiling sea surface in front and said nervously, "Something is coming up!"

Xiang Xiang Ningjing frowned, turned her head, locked onto a large warehouse, and said decisively, "Hide in first, don't get marked!"

In a flash, the group acted quickly and rushed into the warehouse amidst the roaring sounds from all sides.

On the other side, in a shopping mall building in the coastal commercial area, Dalou and Sasha's heavy mechs stopped urgently into an underground garage in the intensifying storm. Long Zhijie controlled the dust and debris shock waves to cover the team members as they retreated inward. Mo Mo Nika stood on the square at the entrance of the shopping mall, her face sharp. "Hurry up, before we are discovered."

After the team members retreated, she suddenly turned her head. The nano-mask under the head armor opened, and her mouth aimed at an electric tower on a building in the distance and fired an invisible sonic sword in an instant. The piercing sound exploded, and the next moment, the electric tower on the building collapsed in the strong wind, falling while hanging, bringing with it a sky full of glass fragments bursting from the building's facade.

And at this time, Mo Mo Nika could clearly feel that the running sounds in the storm around her began to move toward the direction of that building. So, she took advantage of this movement and quickly retreated with Long Zhijie into the shopping mall's underground garage to hide temporarily.

"Sister Mo, aren't we going directly back to the Infinite?" Sasha asked Mo Mo Nika.

"These things are coming very fast, let's avoid them first. We don't have that kind of bait. It won't be good to deal with if we bring the marker back to the Infinite." Mo Mo Nika's mind was very clear. Her sonic ability captured the fast-approaching creatures extremely sensitively, and the storm in the sky was full of unknowns. In this situation, she had to be decisive.

"It's not even 3 PM yet," Dalou said at this moment. "Let's wait, maybe the storm will pass."

"The radiation value in this storm is very high. We haven't encountered this situation before. How could this happen?" Sasha operated the computer of the Flying Peach and immediately released several reconnaissance drones to fly toward the dark underground garage, saying at the same time, "Could it be that the floating island the Falcon Sea Group mentioned is approaching?"

"It's possible," Long Zhijie's voice was flat, saying, "This storm is like it's alive."

Mo Mo Nika narrowed her eyes slightly, observing the surroundings quietly, without speaking.

On the west coast of the island, above the dome of the orbital station, Qian Dele and Hearing Shu Qin's team were observing the wind direction with stern expressions.

"Did you see Lin Xian and the others?" Below, on the Infinite, Chen Sixuan, who was fully armed, shouted in the communicator.

"Not yet," Hearing Shu Qin responded.

"This storm is too weird. Our signal transmission is subjected to extremely strong interference within a few hundred meters. This is absolutely extraordinary." Luo Yang operated a handheld interrupt device. Hundreds of drones patrolled and spread out at low altitude, controlling the formation through node transmission. Even so, the electronic system was still greatly affected, constantly emitting surge alarms.

Miao Lu and Xiao Yuan were all picking up weapons to be on guard. Mo Xiaotian hid at the door and looked nervously at the pitch-black sky above the dome hole. Sun Yuzhen flew over from afar at this time and shouted to Chen Sixuan,

"I didn't see anyone in several directions. Should I increase the range to meet them?" ===== CHAPTER 433 =====
