Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1165 - 449: Earth Burst
Previously on Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train...
Less than an hour remained until dusk, and the encroaching dark clouds had already consumed both Sea Rock Island and the nearby Island. These ominous clouds, resembling oil-soaked cotton, bore down heavily upon the sea. A fierce gale whipped the ocean into ten-meter-high waves that crashed violently against the reefs. The atmosphere was thick with a salty, sulfurous stench, transforming the sea surface for miles into a turbulent inferno where the sky and water became indistinguishable.
Surrounded by the vast ocean, Sea Rock Island became a feeding ground for sea monsters during the storm. Eerie, shadowy figures sporadically revealed themselves, creatures that inspired profound dread. Beneath the dark waves, a colossal serpent-like shadow, immense as a mountain, slithered through the churning water. Its dark green scales churned up massive whirlpools, yet its full form remained hidden. Further away, a pale tentacle, over thirty meters in diameter, erupted from the sea's surface and slammed down, its powerful impact instantly submerging half of the Island Lighthouse. The air vibrated with low-frequency hums, the unmistakable breaths of colossal, unidentifiable deep-sea leviathans.
Meanwhile, the Island itself was subjected to minor tremors. An dense, dark Monster Tide surged like an avalanche towards the southwestern Sea Rock Prison, seemingly with a specific target in mind. Even beneath the earth, Abnormal Bodies burrowed forward, tearing open the ground's surface.
"It's invisible! Use shock waves to locate it!"
Within the geothermal well, Lin Xian's command echoed. Simultaneously, thousands of drones, under Viola's precise control, moved swiftly to form a defensive perimeter around Lin Xian and Ning Jing. KIKI, darting like a beam of light, shot through the gaps between the drones.
"Whew~"
Suspended in the air, KIKI let out a gentle exhale. She then extended both hands, as if plucking something from the void!
Buzz!
A low, soft hum vibrated as a nearly transparent spherical light screen rapidly contracted towards her heart. Instantly, it transformed into a shockwave light ball, radiating white fluorescence outward from her as the epicenter!
Boom!!!!
The invisible shockwave expanded spherically, dispersing with immense force across a diameter of several hundred, even a thousand meters! This powerful blast forcefully dispelled the hot gales and steam erupting from the geothermal well. The expanding spherical wave scattered numerous fallen rocks and debris, even tearing away the protective railings surrounding the geothermal equipment!
[Target located!]
Under this comprehensive 360-degree assault, Viola's thousands of "eyes" pinpointed the target within milliseconds. Instantly, all the Thunder Falcon drones reversed their trajectory, surging towards a fractured tunnel entrance above. Precise, concentrated red pulse beams struck the entrance, unleashing piercing ability pulse sounds. At the moment of impact, the seemingly hollow tunnel entrance flickered with a faint green biological force field ripple. The ripple spread, instantly outlining the form of a completely transparent, grotesquely twisted giant insect.
Upon witnessing this, Lin Xian immediately understood that this was the elusive monster that had been hiding in the flood discharge channel. This creature, so mysterious and stealthy, had managed to evade Qian Deli and Ning Jing's team despite their thorough searches prior to sealing the upper tunnel. Its ability to turn invisible and even bypass biological detectors was truly astonishing!
"We've found it, capture it!"
"Okay!" Before Lin Xian's command even fully registered, KIKI had already unleashed a surge of telekinetic power, gripping the still-glowing biological force field creature directly. The immense force exerted by KIKI carved deep cracks into the tunnel entrance walls, a clear indication that she was employing her full strength. For Lin Xian and KIKI, neutralizing a Special Level monster was not an insurmountable task when they exerted their utmost power. Recognizing the critical need for a swift resolution amidst the escalating chaos outside, Lin Xian did not hesitate. He raised a hand, signaling the activation of the Gravitational Lens.
A Black Hole tore through dimensions, manifesting from nothingness, overpowering all defenses and trickery! A spatial hum resonated, causing the overwhelming roar of magma vapor within the geothermal well to vanish as if instantly erased. Even the scorching light was devoured. A distorted space spontaneously formed in the area KIKI controlled, resembling a swirling black vortex in the air. In a flash, the distorted dark area collapsed into a lightless black hole, emitting a grinding sound. It revealed a contiguous, distorted biological mass, akin to a colossal passage Black Insect. Its entire form seemed enveloped by innumerable transparent, snake-like sea creatures. After shedding its invisibility, the black insects constituting the main body twisted and shifted colors. Many of them were drawn into and ground to pieces by the Gravitational Lens; even their formidable force field rays could not escape its grasp. The monstrous Black Insect writhed frantically, its serpentine black appendages capable of disassembling in myriad directions. It spread across the geothermal well's rock walls, resembling a 'melting' mass scattering in a desperate attempt to escape.
Staring at the spectacle, Lin Xian and KIKI were presented with a direct encounter with the so-called 'unidentifiable' entity. It wasn't a solid creature—neither insect nor snake, its entire being able to seep and contort into any form. As Lin Xian's Gravitational Lens ingested empty space, the lingering insect-snake mass retreated from the consumed zone, unfurling a 'snake wall' that stretched for hundreds of meters across the rocky face!
Simultaneously, endless streams of black insect-snakes continued to spew forth from the tunnel, progressively engulfing a wider expanse. In mere moments, the geothermal well's rock wall before Lin Xian and KIKI was painted in a gray-black hue, appearing as if the wall itself had awakened with the writhing of the insect-snake collective, sending chills down their very spines.
