Boom!!!
Like a small air bomb explosion, a shallow crater ford on the ground, with only a platform of a hibernation pod left at the center, its main structure unrecognizable.
At this mont, with a sudden inhalation, the person lying in the hibernation pod suddenly sat up!
’Hiss!!!’
As Lin Xian opened his eyes, he felt as if he was in hell.
Crimson, yellow sand, scorching heat waves, bone-eroding sand, coupled with intense pain in the nerve endings all over his body and a sense of powerlessness from his immune system, Lin Xian reacted instantly.
This is a dead zone!
Quick, quick, quick!
The nano-power armor swiftly retrieved from the Black Star Forge, covering his entire body. Once the Life Maintenance System was activated, countless sharp alarm sounds imdiately rang in his ears.
[Alarm: Dark erosion concentration exceeds dayti value by 1360%, evacuate imdiately]
[Alarm: Radioactive dust detected, radiation concentration at 2183 mSv, 86% probability of radiation sickness!]
[Alarm: Excess dark impact detected on the body, Dark Energy Homogeneous System activated]
[Alarm: Abnormal spiritual power fluctuation...]
[Alarm...]
At this mont, as Lin Xian gradually regained his senses, the alarm sounds were gradually drowned out by the shock erging at that mont, turning into piercing tinnitus.
Lin Xian swept his gaze over, seeing only the eerily disturbing crimson sky and the yellow sand ruinous textures underfoot.
He couldn’t believe his eyes; turning back, behind him was the hibernation pod from the Sky Do Train...
But there was no Sky Do Train to be found in the surroundings.
Lin Xian looked at the watch on his wrist, shattering his last strand of hope; ti had not deceived him. It had been three months and 17 days since he entered the hibernation pod...
"Teacher Chen...KIKI..."
Pressing the communicator, Lin Xian attempted to access the internal frequency of Infinity, but what responded to him was a void.
Lin Xian’s heart shook violently, his mind at this mont feeling utterly blank.
Teacher Chen, KIKI, Brother Huo, Da Lou, Shu Qin, Sha Sha, Monica, Qian Deli, Ding Junyi...
Everyone had disappeared.
At this mont, he felt as if he had been abandoned by the world, staring at the crimson filling his view, a profound sense of solitude and unfamiliarity piercing his brain.
Hoo~ Hoo~
Inside the oxygen mask, Lin Xian panted rapidly, adjusting his state. After regaining his rationality, he suppressed the myriad doubts in his heart, becoming vigilant as he observed the surroundings.
Woo~
The chanical Heart humd again, and scanning vision instantly spread over a few kiloters around.
Soon, Lin Xian caught nurous clues. He did not activate flight but rather quietly moved along the shadow of the dust gully forward, soon seeing the broken giant starship, a chanical scan revealing the hull number.
"Chengying Ship, affiliated with the Interstellar Army Third Intercontinental Team of Phoenix City, on standby in the South Arican Colombia Safety Airspace. How did I end up on this fleet?"
"Hakko? This is Costa Rica... East Coast of the Central Pacific?!"
In the face of the situation, Lin Xian only thought of two possibilities: either the Sky Do Train had successfully joined with the Phoenix Society, and for so reason, his teammates sent him to Phoenix City, or this was a command issued by Ye Lan.
The second possibility was that the entire Sky Do Train was destroyed, and he was rescued...
Both emotionally and rationally, Lin Xian naturally leaned toward the first judgnt, but regardless of which one, the current situation seed that the Third Intercontinental Team had undergone a fierce battle here, suffering heavy losses, and the Hakko region was now completely shrouded in crimson, dead silent.
"What exactly happened..."
Lin Xian cald himself down, his power armor’s Life Maintenance System operating under high pressure. Although the armor seed capable of resisting crimson erosion, the intense radiation and dark invasion rendered this place like a dead zone. Despite the Life Maintenance System’s ability to supply oxygen and maintain basic cycling, it didn’t an he could rest easy.
For he had no food or water, trapped within the crimson, with the existence of terrifying threats unknown.
Lin Xian looked toward the massive wreck of the Chengying Ship ahead, imdiately forming an idea. He could first hide inside this starship and might be able to find so food and water if they hadn’t been corrupted by the crimson...
Additionally, he might also find so information logs within this starship, possibly uncovering what happened over these three months and the current situation of the Phoenix Society and the world.
Crack
The boots worn by Lin Xian in the battle armor sank deeply into the burning sand with each step, raising clouds of dark red dust-laden sand spray; the nano-power armor isolated external forces sufficient to erode consciousness with dark energy and lethal radiation. Through the viewport, the crimson halo painted the entire world in an ominous bloody hue.
He lowered his posture, navigating like a ghost through the shadows cast by gigantic war remnants, Shuyan once told him, within the crimson, the concept of a dark mark no longer exists, possibly facing attacks at any ti, forcing Lin Xian to stay cautious amidst the indistinguishable day-night crimson, uncertain which direction to flee once a chain reaction is triggered.
Perhaps the entire world had been engulfed by the crimson...
The broken into three segnts "Chengying Ship," gradually enlarged in view, the closer it neared, the sight grew increasingly appalling, grand enough to suffocate.
The bow wreck slanted into the yellow sand, like a broken giant sword embedded in the ground, the colossal bridge structure resembling a skull gnawed by a giant beast, shattered windows, exposed fra twisted and sinister, underfoot, twisted tal debris, partially buried power armor limbs, weathered bones, and charred vehicle wreckage composed this deathly desert carpet, incessantly imparting an overwhelming sense of civilization extinction.
