Chapter 467: No Survivors

Pfft.

It was like a bubble bursting, or perhaps some fragment shattering. The sound was extremely small, yet it felt deafening, coming from the deepest part of consciousness.

At this instant, the entire Haiyan Island sea area seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. The giant golden-red mushroom cloud, the high-temperature flame ball that vaporized the sea surface and evaporated the isolated island, the shock wave washing across the Pacific sea surface, as well as the thunder in the sky, the sea monsters under the water, the indescribable strange entities—all fell into a state of stagnation at this moment.

In the cockpit of the Infinite, Lin Xian, Kiki, Director Ding, Chen Sixuan, and Viola all froze.

In the peripheral vision of Chen Sixuan, the Infinite and that abyss giant mouth brushed past each other. The flickering of the detector and sonar system froze at this moment. And in Lin Xian's vision, it was the strange flower that was blooming. Within it, a darkness was slowly releasing. In Lin Xian's pupils, it was as if he himself was falling into a planet of the abyss, and the world he was currently in was just under a cave. That blackness was the exit of the cave.

Time froze at this moment. Perhaps it was only a second, just an instant. In the entire deep sea, the Infinite and the nuclear submarine were frozen in the water, motionless. The seawater seemed to have turned into a solidified solid.

However, at this time, in Lin Xian's eyes, the countdown number was not affected at all.

From 16:10:33, it jumped calmly to 16:10:32.

Hiss!

Following the jump of the countdown, Lin Xian took a breath. He didn't feel any change. At this moment, his pupils shrank slightly, focusing on the black center of the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Wrongs. He couldn't help but frown immediately, because at this time, the darkness in the center had expanded, swallowing the culture chamber of the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Wrongs, and also including Ding Junyi's hands and vines.

"Director Ding."

Lin Xian shouted when he saw this. But when he opened his mouth, there was no sound. When he looked up, he was shocked to find that Ding Junyi was maintaining a completely frozen posture at this moment. Lin Xian quickly looked at the others. Everyone in the cockpit was like being pressed on the freeze key.

What's going on?

Lin Xian's expression changed drastically. He saw the fragments floating in the air not being affected by gravity and falling, and the seawater bubbles outside the porthole were also frozen. The most strange thing was the black hole blooming from the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Wrongs. That small black hole, like his Gravity Lens, was pitch black at this moment, appearing incomparably strange and abrupt in the space.

Because this touch of darkness had no edges, it looked as if a god had gouged this piece out of space. If one had to describe it, it was as if a piece had been filled with absolutely smooth blackness by PS, without thickness, without edges. The black hole was not a hole, nor was it a sphere, as if light and dimensions did not exist.

He immediately realized something, but why could he still move, and the countdown remained unaffected?

"Viola!"

Lin Xian tried to call Viola, but didn't get any feedback. He looked at Viola and prepared to reach out to touch her. But the moment his finger was about to touch Viola's mechanical arm, his action stopped again. His pupils shook slightly, seemingly seeing something.

At the back of Viola's neck, in the integrated central pipeline, a touch of blue light was frozen. That was the photon transmission array of Viola's quantum processing center. And at this moment, that tiny signal light point had also stopped.

Light, stopped.

At this moment, Lin Xian had the illusion that he had detached from the real world. He seemed to be able to hear his own breathing.

Doubt, panic, confusion, anxiety—various emotions sprouted from the bottom of Lin Xian's heart.

Just at this time, he suddenly discovered that there was a stretched light shadow on his body. On his hands, on his body, like the guide wires of a marionette. The difference was that he had them all over his body. These light lines were vertical and downward, penetrating the floor of the Infinite, extending infinitely to some place.

Lin Xian looked at his hands suspiciously. As his five fingers rose and fell, the light shadow below also followed and was "pulled." That seemed to be some kind of mapping of himself. But in this mapping, he saw a twisted line. That twisted line was wrapped in his own mapping. Lin Xian raised his hands to try to see clearly, but when he leaned closer, he was shocked to find that it was actually the shadow of another person.

Chu Yan!

Lin Xian's heart shook violently at this moment. He didn't understand the current situation. What did these light shadows represent?

Why was his link with Chu Yan in such a form of existence?

Finally, Lin Xian focused his gaze on the black hole before his eyes. He stepped forward.

But there was only pure blackness inside.

Then, Lin Xian tried to extend a finger to approach.

At this moment, an incomparably strange scene happened!

The moment Lin Xian's finger approached the black hole, he actually saw a twisted finger appearing in the black hole as well, approaching his fingertip like a mirror.

But that finger was not synchronized; it just approached for a moment, and then retracted.

The next moment, a face that seemed to be twisted by water waves suddenly appeared in the black hole, which immediately startled Lin Xian. That face widened its eyes, as if in terror.

But in the blink of an eye, the face disappeared again, and then a brilliant blue energy beam appeared, but it disappeared again in the blink of an eye.

This strange scene made Lin Xian incomparably amazed, so he leaned over, trying to see clearly what was in the black hole.

Nothing.

"Hell, what is this thing?"

Lin Xian pondered in his heart, then gritted his teeth, directly raised his finger, and operated the mechanical cannon, preparing to fire a shot at this black hole to test it.

Shhh-woo!

As the mechanical cannon was activated, Lin Xian's finger seemed to be wrapped by some kind of metal device. He could vaguely hear the sound of some motor energy storage rotating, and then, the blue energy light lit up.

However, just as he was about to fire subconsciously, seeing the blue flash on his finger, a thunderous roar exploded in his brain. He was stunned for an instant, and immediately put away the mechanical cannon again.

Lin Xian, at this moment, seemed to have even forgotten to breathe.

He looked at the black hole before his eyes and finally reacted: the shadow that appeared in the black hole was very likely himself!

He extended his finger to test, and then prepared to use the mechanical cannon but immediately gave up—didn't it exactly correspond to the moment of the finger, the face, and the blue flash in the dark ripples just now?

It turned out that the face with terror was actually himself.

Lin Xian frowned tightly. His heart jumped violently at this moment. What surprised him most was that the action of the "opposite" was exactly his own action a few seconds later.

In other words, the one in the black hole was himself a few seconds later!

At this moment, Lin Xian looked at the stretched light shadow mapping on his body again. At this instant, he remembered a science fiction movie he had seen before. It was a film that described a 4D world, where time was a physical existence, and the past and future were happening "simultaneously." Standing in this dimension, he could see himself at any period.

Tick, tick.

The countdown before Lin Xian's eyes was still flowing without stopping.

"This countdown is not affected."

"So this is the power of the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Wrongs flower bud blooming? Not just a dimensional bubble, but a dimensional entity?"

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

It seemed like some sound was moving. Lin Xian kept thinking. Who would have thought that when he looked at the black hole again, he found that the black hole had expanded by a factor of two. At this moment, besides the culture chamber of the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Wrongs, it had also completely swallowed Ding Junyi's hands.

In the black hole, a human figure appeared again. Lin Xian frowned. He was indeed prepared to lean over to check, but reacted at this moment: if he didn't check, would a time paradox occur, causing the original space-time line to deviate?

No, no. The current problem is how to eliminate this Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Wrongs dimensional bubble, and then have everyone dodge the deep-sea sea monsters and enter the super vortex array to escape.

At this time, a strange thought suddenly flashed in Lin Xian's heart.

"But if I can see the time development line, can I know in advance whether we succeeded?"

Thus, he looked at that black hole. The figure inside still hadn't disappeared and was still going deeper, as if "waiting" for something.

Lin Xian frowned and took a deep breath. He leaned over decisively. When his vision entered the black hole, he was shocked to find that the center of the black hole was not pure black, but countless overlapping silhouettes of train carriages appeared—there were scenes of Chen Sixuan and Xiao Yuan debugging electromagnetic cannons in Carriage 2, residual images of Kiki and Shasha playing video games together, and tender lettuce seedlings sprouting from Ding Junyi's fingertips in Carriage 3, and scenes of Dalu and Fire Brother drinking tea in Carriage 5. These scenes at different time points pierced into his vision like broken glass.

These images were divided into dense grid patterns, filling the entire field of vision infinitely. Everyone was active vividly, as if life was still going on, and the Infinite was still galloping on the tracks full of zombies.

Seeing these images, all guesses were confirmed. The Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Wrongs indeed unfolded a dimensional entity. Lin Xian wanted to seek answers, so he quickly searched for the timeline after entering the deep sea among these grid images. His right hand reaching toward the black hole decomposed into flashing gray data streams the moment it touched the boundary, and the bone contours turned into nebula-like light points. He flowed in time, and soon, he saw the Infinite soaked in water. ===== CHAPTER 468 =====

Seeing these images, all speculations were confirmed; the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Errors had indeed unfolded a dimensional entity. Lin Xian wanted to seek answers, so he immediately searched these grid images for the timeline after entering the deep sea. The moment his right hand, reaching toward the black hole, touched the boundary, it quantized and dispersed; his skin texture decomposed into flickering gray data streams, and his skeletal outline turned into nebula-like points of light. He flowed through time, and soon, he saw the Infinite submerged in water.
