"It’s impossible to catch up, Lin, call them back. The other side performed such actions; next will definitely be the grand cleanup in White City. We need to evacuate quickly!" Qian Suxun said, frowning as he looked at the mecha about to lose signal.

Those rockets can break the sound barrier in an extremely short time, just relying on his mecha or KIKI Ryuji’s flying abilities, it’s impossible to catch up. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately made a decision.

But at this moment, a broken signal came through.

"Brother Lin, wait for me!!!"

Boom!

Just when KIKI and Ryuji reached their maximum speed but to no avail, a fire meteor shot up into the sky, directly heading towards the nearest rocket, disappearing into the night in an instant!

At 3000 meters altitude, the sparse air was torn apart into a cone-shaped sonic boom cloud. Above was the pitch-black Heavenly Veil devouring starlight. At this moment, Lu Xingchen’s entire power armor was crimson due to air friction, with joints erupting golden-red plasma streams, and the helmet visor continuously flashing system alarms.

[High temperature alert, high temperature alert]

[Overload alert, overload alert]

Lu Xingchen’s hands spewed high-intensity white-hot flames, smashing through the air with several Mach rings!

Mach!

Mach!!

Mach!!!

The outer units of the battle suit started to peel off, the jet flames transitioning from crimson to deep blue, the dark distorted space ahead constantly disappearing and reforming. In just a few seconds, Lu Xingchen accelerated to his life’s best with the Infinite Ring. He looked up, in a flash, he saw the rocket tail flames that were relentlessly accelerating and burning, and he gritted his teeth!

"Demon, don’t run!"

He clenched his right fist with fire, the Infinite Ring spun frantically, and he punched forward with full force.

"Divine Power!"

In the White City, disturbed by the countless rocket sound roars, in the dark streets, countless Abnormal Bodies began to act. Huge masses were awakened, screaming from all directions, bizarre mockery!

Lin Xian and Qian Suxun’s team were gathered on a rooftop next to the crashed transport ship, watching the fire meteors scatter across the sky, their expressions grave.

Feeling the increasing fear in the city, Shi Zhi used her superpower to help everyone relieve the pressure brought by the dark invasion.

"The tide is about to rise!" Qian Suxun said.

Lin Xian checked the time; there were 5 minutes left.

"Brother Huo is back!" KIKI’s voice came from the air. Lin Xian and the others looked up immediately, only to see a distant fire meteor quickly approaching them. KIKI immediately ascended to support, finding Lu Xingchen covered in flames. His power armor was almost entirely burned, and he carried half a rocket’s body, scorched and battered, flying in from a distance.

Seeing this scene, KIKI immediately used telekinesis to help him land. At this moment, everyone looked at this fire superpower user in astonishment, not expecting him to retrieve a rocket.

"Lin Xian, I didn’t let you down!"

"Brother Huo, are you alright?" Lin Xian immediately noticed something was wrong with him.

The battered Lu Xingchen was gasping heavily, his complexion extremely weak, his eyes barely containing a red tinge.

"Amazing, Brother Huo, I’ve looked at you in a new light." KIKI couldn’t help but marvel at Brother Huo’s heroics.

Seeing Lu Xingchen’s condition, Qian Suxun frowned and immediately instructed Shi Zhi.

"Shi Zhi, quickly purify him. He’s exhausted; he absorbed too much Power of Fear."

"Okay!" Shi Zhi nodded, immediately exerting full strength, concentrating the green light on Lu Xingchen. At this time, Lu Xingchen’s red-tinted eyes gradually faded, and his complexion improved significantly.

Tread tread tread.

Qian Suxun operated a heavy armored mecha to approach, the chest armor opened to reveal a narrow cockpit.

"Quick, sit inside and rest for a while; you’re not in good shape."

"No worries, I’m fine." Lu Xingchen attempted to pat his sleeves, but he almost couldn’t find an intact piece of fabric on him.

Lin Xian noticed his embarrassment. At this time, there were no other power armors for him to wear, so he said.

"Brother Huo, go inside and rest for a bit, we’ll still need you to descend from the heavens later."

"In that case, I’ll..."

Lu Xingchen coughed lightly, stopped talking rubbish, and before his crucial garments fell off, he walked into the mecha.

Qian Suxun maneuvered to close the mecha’s door, and soon, Lu Xingchen’s vital information came through on his holographic panel: "The condition is not so good, but no injuries. Let’s go, the tide is rising soon, we need to avoid it!"

The group immediately understood and rushed to the morgue below White City Hospital. This was where Ning Jing and the others hid before. The door was damaged by Red Man Gu, but Lin Xian directly created multiple layers of sealed doors from the inside, and also set up lighting inside. At this moment, a dozen people, along with several mechas, crowded into the cold morgue.

"Wow, everyone come down here, it’s much more comfortable than before." Qian Deli couldn’t help but say as he looked at the bright lights.

Previously, they had been hiding here, relying only on the light of their power armor. He didn’t like the morgue in the first place, but with Lin Xian’s operation, the originally cold and terrifying morgue now became a temporary refuge from the rising tide.

The bodies stored there had long since rotted; inside were communication devices installed by Silent City. Many of the metal doors of the refrigerated compartments where bodies were stored were half-open, with melted body fluids solidifying into wax-like substances on the ground, mingling with bones and decayed fabric. In the corners, body bags were stacked, some of which had burst open due to bloating, revealing charred mummies.
