Chapter 512: Total Loss of Contact!

~8 min read 1,506 words

Cold to the bone.

Silent and soundless.

Lin Xian looked through the porthole at the huge hollow face outside, his expression shocked. At this moment, it was as if even his breathing stopped for a moment. The pitch-black hole stared at him like a hellish abyss. Lin Xian had already activated the AT field shield in the first second.

A cold sweat slid down his forehead. Lin Xian stood motionless, staring at the bizarre creature outside. His right hand was ready to launch the super-critical diffraction sword, and he was also considering finding space to use energy leap to avoid danger.

Countless thoughts exploded in his brain instantly, but strangely, a few seconds passed, and the monster outside did not attack, still facing the porthole with its hollow face.

Lin Xian frowned. At this time, a thought suddenly arose in his heart: the entire room has changed its dark energy frequency, could it be that the monster simply cannot "see" him?

Sound, smell, energy, frequency, Lin Xian thought of many possibilities. He resisted the urge to make a move and hinted to himself to calm down. He didn't want to cause any movement in this "scarlet black night" unless it was a last resort. The crashed Chengying ship and the war corpses everywhere were enough to show the horror in the scarlet. It was difficult for him alone to face the horror in this abyss, not to mention that he didn't know which direction to flee at all, and could only fight like a trapped beast.

Looking at the pitch-black hollow, Lin Xian clenched his fists, keeping his whole body still. At the same time, he had quietly ordered all drones to be silent.

He was gambling.

Gambling that his guess was correct.

I don't know how long it took, but the "hollow" outside suddenly disappeared into the yellow sand accompanied by a scarlet blood mist. At the same time, that bone-chilling gaze also disappeared immediately.

At this time, Lin Xian finally let out a long breath, unable to help but feel a lingering fear.

"Fortunately, I didn't mind the trouble and installed the device in the whole room from the beginning. It seems that the monsters in the scarlet are far more sensitive than those in the polar night, and..."

He was a bit puzzled. The monsters outside seemed to be erratic, and could even "teleport". This was simply incomprehensible. If the monsters possessed such mobility, ordinary people would have little chance to react and survive.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian directly turned off the lights in the shelter, then placed a cold light lamp in the room, looked at the time, and went to the corner to sit down and sort out his thoughts.

Time soon reached about 10:00 AM the next day. The scarlet became less dark. There was no sign, but it looked like it should count as "daybreak".

Lin Xian didn't sleep all night, pondering that although the night and day in the scarlet didn't seem to have much difference, he estimated that there must still be some differences, otherwise he wouldn't have seen so many monsters all at once last night.

He didn't have the opportunity to swallow mechanically all night, just used the existing materials to add a set of dark energy frequency devices to his power armor, but because there was no blood essence, it couldn't be enabled for the time being. That only blood essence had to be kept to preserve those food supplies.

Woo woo woo~

A large number of micro-drones flew out. Lin Xian controlled the door to open a small gap and released these drones again. This time he was ready to directly connect to the main bridge to obtain some information.

As Lin Xian expected, after daybreak, the progress of the plan became much smoother. Not long after, several information drones flashed with blue light and rushed into the already shattered main bridge. In the footage, the interior was full of various dried corpses. A female dried corpse wearing a military uniform was sitting in the captain's seat, fixed with a metal seat belt, including other personnel on the bridge, many of whom still maintained a fighting posture.

"The battle started suddenly. Such a huge starship, was it hit first?"

With doubts, Lin Xian manipulated the drone to access the system and tried to read the data. Soon, a large amount of communication log information was obtained and transmitted to Lin Xian.

【Mission Log Summary】:

Mission Code: Shield of the Ark

Fleet: Phoenix City Interstellar Military Third Intercontinental Unit, "Chengying" (Flagship), "Xuanbird" and escort formation.

Mission Objective: Escort the "Noah" maritime mobile city, set sail from the Republic Islands sea area, arrive at the scheduled anchorage of Jaco Coast, Costa Rica, establish a defense line, and meet and cover the "Dawn Center" survivor fleet evacuating from the direction of Guatemala, North America, to enter the Noah safe zone.

Last update time of the log: December 13, 2069, 17:28)

"54 days ago?"

It was about the same as Lin Xian's guess. This fleet should have landed with Noah.

Lin Xian opened the battle log at this time, and a voice message from the captain's frequency came through immediately.

"Chengying! Chengying! Sonar array abnormal! Underwater geological activity index soaring! Repeat, underwater geological activity index soaring! Something is coming up! Very big!"

"All fleets, level one combat configuration! Electrostatic field maximum power! Anti-submarine weapons preheat! Xuanbird, you are responsible for commanding all transport units to cover the crowd to retreat south. Phoenix City is expected to arrive at North Cokley in 3 hours and 12 minutes!"

Then came the piercing metal distortion and low-frequency humming.

"My God! What is that?! The seabed... the seabed is rising! Not a mountain! It's alive!!"

"Damn it, it's the earthquake catfish of Star Abyss No. 13, lingering like a ghost, actually chasing this far!"

"Captain, in the airspace about 190 kilometers to the northeast, extremely high dark energy fluctuations were discovered, intelligence estimates it as an S-rank scarlet creature!"

(Boom————————!!)

A earth-shaking roar, even through the log recording, one could feel the destructive shock.

Then the communication was interrupted, and what remained was a piercing busy signal.

Lin Xian's face sank. He continued to open other content, and soon found a Fire Book intelligence information, which was sent by the Nightwalker messenger through the scarlet zone by flight. And after Lin Xian saw the content of this information, his expression changed immediately!

The information wrote that the transfer of the Dawn Center in North America encountered a major crisis. On the night of December 09, the scarlet expansion of Star Abyss No. 12 and Star Abyss No. 9 in North America accelerated suddenly in the black night. The Dawn Center encountered the world-class disaster No. 05 "Chaos" in the Colorado Grand Canyon area of North America, with more than 1 million deaths. At the same time, a total of 219 train fleets on the land track lost contact across the board!

These fleets, in addition to the survivor fleets, also included the 13th and 22nd Iron Guard Brigades of the Phoenix Society, 6 special forces of the Second Intercontinental Unit, 3 air fleets, and a massive amount of combat-ready resources and human survival supplies transported by rail!

And his Infinity Alliance fleet, as well as the Silver Star, Longshan No. 1, and other fleets were also among them. The total number of people in all rail fleets exceeded 3 million!

Hum~

In Lin Xian's holographic vision, a suffocating dynamic map unfolded.

The scarlet plague had completely submerged the entire Asia-Pacific region like boiling pus and blood. Its boundary formed a hellish cutting line with the blue of the ocean. At the pitch-black cracks of Star Abyss No. 12 and No. 9 on the North American continent, the scarlet was spraying and expanding crazily like a dam-bursting magma at an unprecedented speed, swallowing the remaining areas. A striking red arrow pointed from the location of the fission-expanding Star Abyss directly to the Colorado Grand Canyon area in the hinterland of North America.

The 13 Star Abyss polar nights and scarlet areas in the world had already occupied almost 70% of the known surface of the planet!

And this was data from 54 days ago. According to the previous growth data, he estimated that 90% of the area had been covered now. Perhaps only a small part of the unexplored sea area and the area near the poles in South America remained unswallowed, and then the final polar ice sheet, humanity's last line of defense...

Lin Xian was dumbfounded at this moment.

"Are you kidding me? The entire rail fleet lost contact across the board?!!"

He immediately searched crazily for other information related to the Infinity. After searching for a long time, he only found one, and this information was related to himself.

【December 11, 2069, ordered to escort the Sword-Bearer Lin Xian to arrive at Storm Coast before the 20th, to be received by the Nightwalker Headquarters】 ===== CHAPTER 513 =====
