Chapter 446: Gamma-ray Burst

Lin Xian felt the tinnitus sound becoming sharper and sharper.

He quietly looked at the metal die and the countdown in his retina, his whole person frozen in place, his brain seemed to have become dull at this moment.

Lin Xian's lips opened slightly, wanting to adjust his thoughts.

"Gra... Grace."

"Grace!"

If Grace didn't respond, then it was very likely that his connection with the flashing bullet was cut off. Lin Xian tried to concentrate his attention to feel the strange dark existence in his eyebrows, but the numbers in front of him made it difficult for him to concentrate.

"What the hell is going on..."

A bad premonition grew from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Xian clenched his fists. If he lost contact with Grace, it meant he lost control of Nantian Sect, and also lost the way to connect directly with Seeing Chu Yan's consciousness, and all the efforts made by the Phoenix Society Star Research Lab during this period would be in vain!

He stared at the metal die, then sighed, his consciousness left the Black Star Forge, and then sat in place and kept adjusting his breathing.

"Damn it, concentrate!"

Lin Xian opened his power armor left arm at this time, took out a reserve cold dark reagent from it, and then stabbed it hard at his heart!

Shhh!

A surging dark energy fluctuation instantly filled his body. Lin Xian clenched his fists and concentrated again.

"Grace!"

【I am here!】

When Grace's crisp voice appeared in Lin Xian's ear, Lin Xian only felt his head shake, and the breath hanging in his throat suddenly dropped by three points.

"Grace, what happened just now? Is there any abnormality in Nantian Sect?!"

【15 minutes ago, the near-Earth orbit sensor captured an abnormal gamma-ray burst (peak 3.15 TeV), ray source azimuth a-17.3°, lasting 0.42 seconds, piercing the radiation shielding layer of the beam platform core aggregator. Currently, I have isolated the damaged unit, enabled the backup energy circuit, and am scanning for deep system failures.】

"Gamma-ray burst? Did it affect the use of Nantian Sect?"

【The beam platform core aggregator currently has system hidden dangers. It is recommended not to launch Nantian Sect. I will complete the repair as soon as possible. Have you encountered an emergency?】

"I..." Lin Xian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then asked: "What about Seeing Chu Yan? Can you still contact Seeing Chu Yan and the Phoenix Society?"

【Grace currently has no active task to contact Seeing Chu Yan. If you need it, I can try to contact.】

"Contact."

【Grace understands.】

A few minutes later, Grace responded again:

【No response from Seeing Chu Yan.】

"What's going on?"

【The specific reason cannot be determined. Grace currently has no exact theory about the connection principle of "flashing bullet". However, combined with the knowledge I know, it will be more inclined to the research direction of "quantum communication".】

Lin Xian pinched his eyebrows, paused, and continued:

"What about the bizarre entity outside Nantian Sect? Has it caused any damage?"

【According to observation, this is a class-cosmic space creature without a fixed shape. The whole body presents an asphalt shape, wrapped and adsorbed on the North 2-by-6 photovoltaic wing and the energy-gathering main structure shell area. It has not launched an attack on the space device. I have fully repaired and accessed the close-in defense weapons of the defense platform for debris cleaning, but attempting to attack may cause uncertain chain reactions.】

Lin Xian shook his head: "If it hasn't caused a threat to you and Nantian Sect, don't attack first."

【Understand, can I understand that if Grace encounters an attack, she can launch a self-protection attack?】

"Of course."

【Okay.】 Grace's voice was calm and clear.

Lin Xian thought for a while, then said: "Help me continue to try to contact Seeing Chu Yan, and notify me if there is any news."

【Grace understands.】

After confirming that Grace and Nantian Sect were fine, Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have any luck. Seeing Chu Yan and the abnormality just now, including the countdown in front of him, Lin Xian felt that they must be related. The only thing he couldn't be sure about was whether this was related to Chen Yanxiu.

"34 hours, that's 10 o'clock the day after tomorrow..."

Lin Xian looked at the changing numbers in front of him, his breath gradually became solemn: "What does this countdown mean? What will happen the day after tomorrow? Why would the metal die appear with the same numbers? Coincidence? Or does it indicate something?"

Buzz!

A mechanical arm stretched out from behind Lin Xian at this time, surging electromagnetic force gathered, tightly grasping the metal die. And as Lin Xian took this thing out, the ground of the entire control room shook violently with the support of his power armor, and the all-metal ground, together with the platform, directly sank a few millimeters.

Since fleeing from Jiang City, this was the first time Lin Xian had encountered such a chaotic and confused situation. So far, he could say he had no clue at all.

Blood vine, triangle man, metal die.

Shengcheng, Chen Yanxiu, Galan volcano.

And that Giant Ocean God that seemed to be beyond the Shengcheng organization's expectations, the triangle man seen for the second time, and this mysterious Deep-3 Nuclear Heat Inducer, as well as what Chen Yanxiu said...

Why did the Dark Civilization suddenly cancel the mission to eliminate him? Could it be that the Giant Ocean God left because of this reason?

Then what does the abnormal gamma-ray burst encountered by Nantian Sect and the countdown in front of him mean?

Perhaps he would know the reason after the countdown ended, but how could Lin Xian sit and wait for death?

"Damn it!"

Lin Xian stood up suddenly, his eyes burning: "Ning Jie, Kiki, any discoveries?"

Inside the Abyss-class Beifeng-09 strategic nuclear submarine, the metal cabin walls were covered with condensation water droplets. The ghostly blue emergency lights stretched Xiang Xiang Ningjing's shadow on the pipeline-filled corridor. She walked into the torpedo cabin of the submarine at this time. Facing her were dense torpedo launch tubes on the cabin wall base. Hearing Lin Xian's voice, she immediately responded:

"Lin Dui, there are many supplies and weapons on this submarine, at least enough for a hundred-person operation. All conditions are good. We also found 12 high-explosive torpedoes and 20 torpedoes that look a bit special. After checking, it seems to be used for underwater bait. Each one has at least more than 200 bait explosion units, enough to affect a large sea area. It looks like the Shengcheng people should be using this method to avoid monsters in the deep sea."

"Just rely on these torpedoes?" Lin Xian asked.

"But bait alone can't fool those things in the deep sea." In the central control room of the submarine, Kiki pointed to the purple-glowing box device at the bottom of the console and said on the communication frequency: "I also found a device similar to our Tongshi Tower, which can resist dark invasion in the deep sea, but this thing cannot isolate the energy signal of the nuclear reactor. They should have other ways."

"Could it be a taboo item?" Xiang Xiang Ningjing responded: "The person from the Divine Revelation just now, this organization has deep research on taboo items and the Star Abyss, maybe it's related to this."

"Maybe."

Kiki continued to look for information in the nuclear submarine system, trying to find things related to sea text and paths, while looking for information, she cared about Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian, are you... better?"

Lin Xian's situation just now really gave her a fright.

"It's okay." Lin Xian thought for a while, and said: "I'll tell you later. What about Abai? Did he notice any abnormalities?"

"Asking you?"

Kiki looked back at Abai and found that Abai was looking around uneasily:

"No... didn't notice anything, but it might be because of the water connection, I seem to be able to sense some movement very far underwater."
