Chapter 457: Flying over the isolated island

Nearly an hour had passed since the giant vortex monster died, but black Qi continued to surge endlessly from its corpse lying on the seabed, causing the entire ocean to be filled with the power of dark invasion.

This black Qi was the dark energy contained within the bodies of dark organisms, and it was also the foundation for these creatures' actions.

At present, human understanding of this dark energy was still very limited. No one knew whether the dark energy emitted by monsters would attract more monsters, but for high-level S-class organisms, the blood crystals and dissipated dark energy of their own kind could be absorbed and devoured.

However, no S-class organism had been discovered yet. The highest level of monsters observed gathering around Haiyan Island was currently only Special-class. Lin Xian speculated that S-class organisms likely possessed independent territorial consciousness, and as a higher-level evil god, the Great Ocean God made other S-class entities dare not approach this place.

At this time, Lin Xian was also calculating that by using the corpses in this sea area, he might be able to attempt to release high-power energy through this energy-release port using that device. Although he didn't know if it would have any effect, since he had to stabilize the device anyway, he might as well treat a dead horse as if it were a living one.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian already had a clear train of thought in his mind.

Soon, under Lin Xian's arrangement, Viola released the negative pressure valve of the energy-release port and opened it completely, incidentally utilizing the lines connected to the submarine base here to lay out a batch of sensors and monitoring devices to observe the actual situation.

With Viola taking action, the operation was without danger. No one needed to risk going into the sea and being marked by darkness. The energy-release port was successfully opened. Although the crisis had not been completely resolved, the members of the Falcon Sea Group all breathed a sigh of relief in unison; at least the plan had succeeded by one step.

"Once we start releasing geothermal energy from the Earth's core into this sea area, this place will become extremely dangerous." Ryan looked at Lin Xian: "What is our next step?"

Lin Xian looked at the time. The countdown before him had less than 24 hours left. He immediately said:

"What we need to worry about now is how to survive tonight. Strange entities are densely gathering. I'm afraid Haiyan Island will be a scene of demons dancing tonight. Even being targeted by a single strange entity could lead to our total annihilation."

Lin Xian looked at Ryan: "I've had people scout all the places on the island where we can hide. I'm afraid your fleet must go ashore."

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the Falcon Sea Group changed color one after another.

"Are we abandoning the ships?"

"Temporarily," Gadi comforted his teammates: "Next, sea monsters, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis could happen at any time. Hiding on land will be relatively safer."

"But all our heavy weapons are on the fleet," Azir frowned: "Without heavy weapons, we can't fight a protracted war."

"And even if we hide on the island, it doesn't mean we can block the strange entities, earthquakes, and volcanoes," Vanessa also said.

Hearing this, Kiki immediately said: "If Haiyan Island can't block them, do you think your ships can? A single wave would flip them over. Everyone would only be able to fight in the water. What use would more heavy weapons be then?"

"But..."

"No need to struggle with this," Ryan sighed long and hard. He glanced at the beach after the great battle and sighed helplessly: "Lin is right. How to survive tonight is the most important thing; nothing else matters."

"Erika, Gadi, take people back to the fleet immediately and transfer everyone to the island."

"The West Coast?"

"The isolated island," Lin Xian suddenly said at this time: "Haiyan Prison is a suitable place for defense. Now that the energy-release channel is open, the geothermal wells there should be able to maintain stability temporarily, and hiding below is relatively safer."

"Lin Xian, are we transferring there too?" Kiki asked Lin Xian upon hearing this.

Lin Xian nodded: "We will first rendezvous with Chen Laoshi, Mo Nika, and the others. If there is no more suitable place on the island, we might have to bring the Infinite along to fly across the strait and into the submarine base."

"Good," Kiki agreed.

"Lin, then we will wait for you at the isolated island," Ryan also said.

Reaching a consensus with the people of the Falcon Sea Group, the two groups immediately began to act separately, rushing to start the transfer of personnel and supplies, while simultaneously beginning to prepare a defense plan.

Following Lin Xian's nod, everyone immediately activated the propulsion devices on their power armor and shot toward the sky.

At the same time, outside the Haiyan Island University student orbital station where the Infinite was located, a fierce battle had just ended. On the ground piled with countless construction waste, disgusting dark green blood of strange entities flowed, and corpses of strange entities piled up on the construction waste, emitting a disgusting stench.

"Team Leader Chen, it's been less than two hours since Team Leader Lin and the others left, and we've already suffered three strange entity attacks. I'm worried..." Sun Yuzhen looked at Chen Sixuan with a face full of worry.

In a short time, the Infinite had already encountered three attacks. Although they were all wandering strange entities, the fact that they had encountered so many attacks in broad daylight indicated that the concentration of dark invasion power on Haiyan Island was becoming higher and higher, and the density of dark organisms had reached an unprecedented scale. One could imagine what kind of hellish scene this would be after dark.

Chen Sixuan replied calmly: "Don't worry. With the Infinite's firepower, it is enough to counter those incoming strange entities."

"Mom, don't worry!" Mo Xiaotian held Sun Yuzhen's hand and comforted her: "I am also very strong now. Moreover, with the strength of Brother Lin and Master, they will definitely be able to take us away from here!"

"Indeed quite strong. You can even directly fire lightning arcs now. Your progress is rapid!" Miao Lu, holding a weapon, stood on the roof of the vehicle and praised Mo Xiaotian.

"By the way, can you control that kind of movement now?"

Mo Xiaotian scratched his head with an embarrassed expression upon hearing this: "Not yet. I don't even know how that happened. However, Master said this is highly likely a characteristic of my ability, somewhat similar to Brother Qian's Speed Force. He named it... named it Flying Thunder God."

"Flying Thunder God? Sounds... very powerful."

"Be careful, there is movement in the northwest direction." Chen Sixuan held the Night Hunter, standing proudly in the air like a sniper goddess. She could clearly capture movements several blocks away and could often kill monsters before they approached and marked them. This was also one of the reasons why the Infinite had not fallen into large-scale siege.

As soon as Chen Sixuan finished speaking, the sound of sonic booms from flying echoed in the sky above.

Looking up, wasn't it Lin Xian and the others?

"Lin Xian, how is the situation on Chasang Island? Is the progress smooth?" Chen Sixuan asked with concern.

"The mechanical gate of the energy-release pipe has been opened." Lin Xian looked at the densely packed corpses of strange entities all around and asked with a frown: "How is the situation at the camp? Have the other teams not completed the scouting mission yet?"

"Encountered three strange entity attacks, but they were all repelled by us."

Chen Sixuan replied: "They are probably on their way back too. According to the information they sent back, the situation is not optimistic. Many of those bunkers and shelters were previously occupied by survivors, but whether it's the airbase or the underground fortress, they have all been overrun by strange entities. The night on this island is too terrifying; this is why we don't see a single living person."

"So those bunkers were severely damaged. If we want to use them, we must carry out large-scale repair work before they can serve as temporary shelters."

As soon as Chen Sixuan finished speaking, sonic booms echoed in the sky again. Three teams returned one after another from several directions. The teams of Ning Jing, Qian Dele, and Mo Nika had all completed the scouting work. Judging from the battle scars on each team's power armor, this simple search work had not gone smoothly either. ===== CHAPTER 458 =====
