Several icy scanning beams, like searchlights, swept recklessly across the wreckage of the observation platform, passing over Lingna and the unconscious Ellie multiple times—clearly, they had been spotted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desperate situation! True desperation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint hope ignited by Lin Mo’s feeble thought vanished instantly under this cold reality. Lingna’s heart plunged into an icy abyss, making even breathing agonizing. The searing pain in her broken right arm and her myriad wounds now felt numb, replaced only by boundless despair and chilling cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could she do? What choice did she have? Ellie was unconscious, she herself was crippled and wounded, Ling was destroyed, Groona was missing, Brother Lin Mo was barely clinging to life, and Sister Liyana had just awakened—what could she possibly do? Against the fully armed and ready-to-strike elite forces of the Doctor, they had not a single ounce of resistance left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this truly where it would end? All their efforts, all their sacrifices—would they yield only futility and capture?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingna’s gaze swept over the abyss below, still churning with black-purple energy and spatial chaos, then upward to the assault craft circling like vultures. Falling into the Doctor’s hands would likely be worse than death. Perhaps… jumping down, merging into that torrent of destructive energy, would be a cleaner release?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought coiled around her heart like a venomous snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was on the verge of surrender, even beginning to shift her body downward, the fractured edge of the crystal in her right arm flickered once more—that faint, nearly extinguished green glow pulsed stubbornly again! This time, the pulse was clearer, and a faint, unmistakably familiar warmth radiated from it—the unique aura of Liyana’s natural energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Lin Mo’s fragmented thought pierced through the barriers once more, slightly clearer than before:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【...energy...connection...stabilized...a little...Liyana...can sense...you...】【...don’t give up...go down...it’s not the end...】【...in the abyss...there’s...an emergency escape tunnel...entrance...blown open by the explosion...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down? Emergency escape tunnel? Lingna froze, staring in disbelief at the apocalyptic scene below. How could there possibly be a way out there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Brother Lin Mo and Sister Liyana would never lie to her! The flickering green glow confirmed it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... what about Sister Ellie? She was unconscious, and Lingna had lost the use of one arm—she couldn’t possibly carry her down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, the assault craft seemed to have completed their scan and began descending. Hatches opened, revealing the cold, pale-uniformed, energy-weapon-wielding Cleanser soldiers inside. In less than a minute, they would land and capture them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No time to hesitate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingna glanced at the unconscious Ellie, a flash of agonized resolve in her eyes. She couldn’t abandon Sister Ellie! But staying meant certain death for both. Perhaps...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wildly dangerous plan flashed through her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clenching her teeth, she used her still-functional left hand to drag Ellie behind a relatively sturdy metal plate, moving her as far from the platform’s edge as possible. Then, with great effort, she dragged herself to the very edge of the platform and raised her remaining right arm—its fractured end glowing faintly green—high above her head, toward the approaching assault craft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would use herself as bait—to draw the enemy’s attention—and buy Sister Ellie a chance at survival. At the same time, she gambled on the existence of that tunnel in the abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ling... if you can still hear... protect Sister Ellie...” she silently prayed, though she knew Ling was likely gone forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her action instantly drew the full attention of every assault craft! Scanning beams locked onto her, especially her right arm—the one emitting the unique energy signature! The Doctor’s target had always been her—this “key.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One assault craft immediately altered course, diving toward her position with powerful wind pressure, its cold mechanical claws aimed straight at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her eyes flashed one final spark of madness. Just as the claws were about to grasp her, she threw herself backward, leaping into the abyss below—the churning torrent of destructive energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The howling wind and the shriek of chaotic energy engulfed her instantly. Weightlessness surged—death’s shadow loomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The diving assault craft missed. The pilot, unprepared for her to jump into the abyss, frantically pulled up, scanning beams still locked onto the falling Lingna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she plummeted, Lingna poured every last ounce of her willpower into communicating with the faint green glow at her arm’s fracture, amplifying its signal to its absolute limit: Liyana, Brother Lin Mo—guide me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if answering her call, the green glow pulsed again, pointing toward a specific direction—a damaged pipe opening on the abyss’s wall, exposed by the explosion and spewing chaotic energy flows. Within the pipe, a faint, unnatural metallic sheen was barely visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingna struggled to adjust her falling posture, like a moth diving into flame, hurling herself unhesitatingly toward the pipe opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to crash into the energy-spewing pipe, the pursuing assault craft received a kill order—several energy beams lashed out at her with lethal intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft! One beam grazed her shoulder, tearing away a large patch of flesh. Another struck precisely at the fractured end of her remaining right-arm crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last fragment of crystal shattered. The faint green glow vanished. Lingna screamed, her consciousness blurring, her body spinning like a broken kite as she tumbled into the dark pipe—swiftly swallowed by the surging energy and darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, the assault craft circled the pipe opening several times, but their scanning beams could not penetrate the extreme chaos of energy within. Finally, they reluctantly ascended, redirecting their focus to the unconscious Ellie on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the dark pipe, Lingna felt herself tumbling violently through a cold, rough, debris-filled tunnel, her bones shattering one after another, until she slammed hard onto a relatively flat surface and lost consciousness completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before slipping into total unconsciousness, she seemed to hear an extremely distant yet eerily close sigh—ancient, weary. At the same time, a cold, inhuman voice, yet strangely familiar, echoed in the depths of her mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Detecting... key carrier... vital signs... rapidly declining...】【Meeting... emergency protocol... activating...】【Welcome...
