Luling, located east of the White Sea Basin, is divided by the massive Hengduan Mountain Range into the northern and southern areas of this basin. Beyond Haiqu lies the prival landscape of the lush Luling forest.
But after the Apocalypse Day, darkness engulfed this forest as if even ti had frozen here.
The towering trees, with trunks twisted like giants in their death throes, oozed sticky black resin from their peeled bark, resembling congealed scabs. The endless forest was shrouded in Extre Night, with all plant life extinguished. Danger and eeriness lurked in every shadow.
Above a decaying canopy of dead wood, there was suddenly a rustling sound, and the air trembled. A bright beam of light accompanied by the chanical roaring sound swept past the low sky above the forest. It turned out to be three ard transport ships flying in a triangular formation slowly heading east.
Then, from one of the transport ships in the rear, a small drone shot out. It was not an ordinary drone but a flying device equipped with a manned cabin. Below this drone, a man was confined in a special tal cage. His limbs were shackled, and the tal cage was like a sarcophagus of a mummy, yet it left a transparent window at the head position. The man’s head was fitted with an apparatus resembling a torture device, keeping his eyelids pried open to the maximum.
The man was unable to move, his eyes wide open, seemingly injected with so kind of sedative, issuing only bubble-like painful sounds from deep within his throat.
anwhile, several cold voices ca through the communication frequency on the transport ship.
"Seventh Traction Plan, number 1652, ready for deploynt."
Vroom!
At this mont, all the Power Armor on the transport ships locked into place tightly, while the unmanned flying device rapidly flew towards the rear.
The man suspended beneath the drone was filled with fear. In the dark mist, the outline of a gigantic floating statue slowly enlarged, and just as they approached, the strange floating statue seed to turn directly towards him!
"Woo!! Ah!!"
The man scread in terror, realizing the crisis of death. He wanted to struggle desperately, but it was all in vain. At this mont, under the drone’s light, a terrifying giant lion statue, tinged with scarlet air, spun into his view. Instantly, the man’s eyes were invaded by blood-red veins, his skin turning ghastly visibly, and even the drone’s energy system emitted disjointed vibrations constantly.
"Observation complete, release." An icy command ca from the transport ship.
The drone sped towards the east. During this process, the man’s heart rate escalated continuously, and his brainwaves and breathing frequencies grew erratic quickly...
Then, the eerie giant statue floating above the Dark Forest suddenly vanished, reappearing silently several kiloters behind the drone. By this ti, the man’s eyes were oozing thick fluid, his entire being succumbed to despair, transford into a zombie.
Thunk~
At this mont, the cage opened, and the man transford into a zombie was tossed into the dark forest below like garbage, as if finally released.
"Number 1652, traction distance 1400 ters, number 1653, prepare for deploynt."
In the next mont, on the transport ship in the distance, another drone rose once more...
...
Bottomless Lake, Dark Forest, Joint Train stronghold.
Boom Boom Boom!
A violent battle raged, vast trees burning into a sea of fire. Outside the train stronghold, along a track hundreds of ters long, molten gold-colored tallic flows poured down like torrential rain on both sides. The Iron Rain slashed through swaths of forest trees like a scythe, various rocket launchers, incendiary bombs, artillery, arc pulses, and high-energy beams erupted successively. The battle reached a fever pitch in a very short ti.
At this mont, Lin Xian stood at a high vantage point, watching as a huge monster’s silhouette ca with the montum of ground-shaking force from afar, his face extrely grave. On the holographic screen of his Power Armor, alarms and radar images alternated flashing. He knew for certain that this was the Deceit Python located in the Bottomless Lake!
The ramp behind him was still under construction, and he had to join others to hold back this monster.
At this ti, aboard the Infinity, in Carriage 21, the specially reserved MK-66 rolling suspension missile launcher rapidly rose, guiding the Cyclone Eye F12 Supersonic Sky Ship Missile out of the bay.
This was what Lin Xian prepared for this creature, apart from the Gravitational Lens, it was his only card left.
"Co on, I’ve long expected you to appear!"
The air roared, Lin Xian focused and pointed, under the artillery light, a giant azure Deceit Python hundreds of ters long slithered forward. Upon its serpent head were hundreds of scarlet eyes arranged in large to small combinations, emitting a chilling cold light. Suddenly, everyone felt an imnse dark Power of Fear pressing down upon them.
But just as Lin Xian prepared to use the Gravitational Lens and fire missiles in a desperate gamble, a boom that broke the sound barrier suddenly resounded from the eastern sky. A golden Fire teor sliced through the dark firmant and instantaneously arrived above the front line—it was a colossal white missile!
The missile swept to the high-altitude airspace in front of Lin Xian and suddenly burst with a vector pulse directed straight downward. In an instant, six petal-like energy focusers expanded from the missile’s bottom, its central core beginning to rotate, erupting with blinding white light. It was not fire, nor an explosion, but a pure energy torrent—as if a solar corona was forcibly torn off, crashing vertically upon the Deceit Python!
