Chapter 475

In the depths of the profound ocean, the Infinite was like an injured ancient giant beast, sliding silently in the absolute darkness and dead silence of the deep sea. The earth-shattering nuclear explosion, volcanic eruption, and the terrifying vortex that tore through metal had already passed, leaving only the metal pressure-resistant shell that had been distorted as a whole, and the faint smell of blood in the circulating air inside the carriage.

In the silent gloom, Lin Xian felt as if he were surrounded by cold, salty seawater.

The entire carriage body, the stress structure occasionally emitted faint groans, blending with the sound of bubbles occasionally bursting in the deep sea, and the nether-like sonar sound, all together became the background sound in this dead silence.

Lin Xian sat in the cockpit with a heavy face. The reason he gave this instruction to Viola was also out of his cautious psychology.

1:32:07

The countdown in front of him was beating silently. Facing these numbers that were like a time bomb, it was difficult for Lin Xian to keep himself absolutely rational and clear-headed.

This thing was different from the strange entities. Even in the crisis-ridden dark night and the deep sea of the abyss, at least Lin Xian could still use his superpowers, and he still had the Infinite by his side, along with team members like Chen Laoshi and Kiki.

But this countdown was unpredictable, just like the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head. He didn't know what would happen after the countdown ended, nor did he know how to stop the countdown, let alone its principle of appearance. It was completely out of control and beyond the possibility of being touched.

【Dawn and destruction have both happened? Hmm, sounds like a very interesting insight. From a philosophical perspective, Hegel proposed that "contradiction is the fundamental driving force of the development of things." Destruction is the explicit result of the collapse of the old order, and dawn is the implicit process of the gestation of a new civilization. From a physical perspective, it is similar to the "Schrödinger's cat" thought experiment: when the time dimension is not observed, dawn (survival) and destruction (death) can exist as two ultimate states at the same time, until the causal chain collapses into a single reality.】

Viola paused for a moment after hearing Lin Xian's words before responding.

Lin Xian felt a bit irritable in his heart, pinched his eyebrows and said:

"Prepare to surface, patrol the sea area to ensure safety before dawn."

Viola looked at Lin Xian and responded calmly: 【Understood, immediately conduct an investigation of the rising sea area and the sea surface.】

"Ryan, you follow, get ready for battle..."

Lin Xian looked back at the direction of the carriage and said in a deep voice: "Wake everyone up. After ensuring that the crisis is resolved at dawn, arrange for rotation and rest. We are at risk in this state."

"I have the same idea as you, Lin, but I suggest letting some of the main force and combat personnel get ready first. Those who are seriously injured are in urgent need of recovery. This is the best opportunity right now." Ryan's voice sounded from the communicator.

"Good."

After giving instructions, Lin Xian pondered countermeasures while unfolding his Mechanical Heart, covering the entire Infinite to carry out overall mechanical repairs. Next, as long as he successfully exited the water and escaped the crisis, he could immediately use the Sky-Dome level to take the risk and fly over. With the information capability of the Sky-Dome level, finding the Republic Archipelago or Noah through the Fire Book and Water Sky positioning shouldn't be a problem.

However, before that, he must ensure that he can survive. Now he doesn't know what will happen, so in order to ensure the safety of the Infinite and the North Wind 09, he must wake up all the core backbone members to stand by at this critical moment.

Lin Xian even considered whether he should distance himself from the Infinite before the countdown arrived...

Lin Xian thought a lot about various ideas, whether positive or negative.

Gurgle~

A violent vibration sound of water pressure sounded outside the cabin wall. Lin Xian stared at the screen of the sonar detector. Not long after, on a pitch-black sea surface somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, a train like a giant dragon broke through the water curtain and slowly floated out of the water. At the same time, a huge abyss-class nuclear submarine, North Wind 09, also appeared.

【50 nautical miles and low-altitude sea area reconnaissance have been carried out. It is currently safe. The weather in the current sea area is abnormal, with thick sea fog. It is recommended not to carry out out-of-cabin activities before dawn or the fog recedes.】

Splash.

The water curtain kept flowing down from the porthole. Lin Xian stood up. Outside the porthole, he could only see a rolling sea level. Under the searchlights of the Infinite, he couldn't see too far. The entire sea area was covered by thick fog, and the water surface raised small waves, with waves sounding one after another.

Lin Xian looked at the surrounding environment and immediately turned back: "Drones bridge in four directions, explore as far out as possible."

Just after giving instructions, Lin Xian turned his head and pressed the communicator, preparing to wake everyone on the Infinite to deal with emergencies that might happen at any time.

But when he turned around, he found that a figure had appeared at the cockpit door at some point, floating in the air, arms crossed, looking at him with a gloomy face. Who else could it be but Kiki?

"Your countdown has less than an hour left, right?"

"58 minutes." Lin Xian nodded: "It's almost dawn."

Kiki flew over at this time, stared face-to-face at Lin Xian's eyes, and asked in a questioning tone:

"Why didn't you wake me up? Aren't you worried about any danger after the countdown ends? Or are you planning to face it alone?"

Lin Xian was dumbfounded, then said: "I was just about to wake everyone up."

"Really?" Kiki looked at Lin Xian with suspicion: "Did you think of a way?"

"Not yet."

Lin Xian said: "Wake everyone up first. I've thought about it. This countdown is definitely not a good sign. Before I figure out the situation, I must stay away from the Infinite, but..."

"No!"

Before Lin Xian finished speaking, his whole body was suddenly wrapped and grabbed by a telekinetic force. Seeing Kiki staring at him with anger, she said:

"No matter what happens, I'll cover you. Don't even think about carrying it alone."

Lin Xian smiled helplessly when he heard this, then said: "I'm not that stupid. I will definitely keep a distance where I can coordinate with everyone. I've thought about it. This kind of countdown appears in my eyes and no one else can see it, which means it is a very specific power or technology. Either it is aimed at me alone, or it is even more exaggerated, such as the end of the world, which would be simpler instead."

Who knew that before his words fell, his mouth was suddenly kissed by a stubborn kiss. That little mouth was still cursing while pressed against Lin Xian's mouth:

"No end of the world allowed! This young lady wants you to survive!"

Kiki's words were mumbled. Lin Xian was a little stunned because he felt a warm current flowing down from that face, sticking to his face, hot and wet.

Lin Xian's heart moved slightly. The feeling of being cared for was warm, making his mood relax a lot for a while.

Lin Xian just felt the little girl's kiss, wooden and motionless. The next moment, Kiki suddenly reached out and covered his eyes, quickly wiped away her stubborn tears before letting go. At this time, Lin Xian looked at her with slightly red eyes floating in front of him, looking at himself with gritted teeth.

"What are you looking at? Think of a way quickly!"

Lin Xian looked inexplicable: "Time is running out. We have to discuss a temporary response strategy. I planned to do it after escaping the vortex last night, but I didn't expect to sleep for so long."

"Yeah, time is running out."

Kiki looked at him with red eyes, seemingly wanting to see the countdown in Lin Xian's eyes clearly, or wanting to see his fear, but Lin Xian's eyes were full of calmness, only he was a bit more helpless at this time.

I don't know why, but seeing this look in Lin Xian's eyes, Kiki felt a tug in her heart. Lin Xian, who could have miraculous tricks when facing the three Star Abyss sieges, was actually at his wit's end at this moment. A few hours ago, he had turned the tide and led these hundreds of people to escape from the terrifying Giant Ocean God and the super vortex, but at this time, he was like helplessly welcoming his own fate.

Thinking of this, Kiki had an inexplicable suffocation and heartache. She seemed not to have heard what Lin Xian said just now, suddenly raised her hand to grab Lin Xian's hands and put them on her waist, and then, like a little chili, wrapped her legs around Lin Xian's waist, pressed down on Lin Xian's face from top to bottom, and kissed him directly.

Tough, hot, with pride and unruliness.

Lin Xian was a little confused. No, this is not the time to kiss. There is less than an hour left. If you want to kiss, you should have kissed earlier yesterday. At least let's think of some ways and prepare some response measures.

For example, if a great terror appears and Lin Xian cannot be rescued, then how should the others on the Infinite transfer, how to escape, etc...

However, Kiki didn't care about these at all at this time. She wrapped around Lin Xian like a monkey climbing a tree, just kissing selflessly, and even used telekinesis to push Lin Xian onto the chair. After Lin Xian sat down, she sat on Lin Xian's body accordingly.

"Hey, beauty, now is not the time..."
