CHAPTER 538: CHAPTER 287: THE EVE OF DAWN (PART 3)

Rumble rumble!

The violent earthquake continued to roar. KIKI watched the billowing dust rise in the distance, her face immediately changing dramatically. She shouted towards Xiao Yuan, "Run! Run quickly, don’t worry about me!"

After saying this, she hurriedly called out in the communicator of the hunting team, "Wen Zhuo, Brother Huo, where are you, come here quickly!"

"Almost there!" was the sound of the wind howling through the communicator. It was Wen Zhuo’s voice.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan saw the earthquake at the rear and the No.1 Machine in the distance. He immediately cradled the Hell Black Chrysanthemum in his arms and madly rushed back to the car. He stepped on the gas, and the engine roared as the snow-terrain vehicle rapidly charged through the snow dust toward the open space in the distance.

Meanwhile, behind him, the roaring seismic waves were rapidly approaching.

"Lin Xian!! Lin Xian!! Are you still alive!!" At this moment, KIKI was frantically calling out for Lin Xian through the communicator. Watching Xiao Yuan desperately trying to escape, she shouted in a voice almost crying, "If you don’t get up, Xiao Yuan will die!"

Zzzt zzzt~

Zzzt zzzt~

Beneath the ruins and rubble, inside the cockpit of the No.1 Machine, sparks flew and wires cracked, and the Holographic Vision kept flickering.

[System reboot successful]

[External main structure severely damaged, exceeding 37%]

[Left arm track burner detected damaged.]

[Back buffer jet unit detected damaged.]

[Core power source loss detected at 22%]

[Detecting...]

A mechanical female voice kept ringing in his ear. Lin Xian at this moment slowly opened his eyes in the dim cockpit, feeling the cold wind constantly blowing in from the cracked nano-ceramic faceplate.

Thump thump thump~

The exposed steel bars and metal on the ground vibrated rapidly. In the sky, Wen Zhuo quickly leaped over, and the Holographic Panel captured the direction of the seismic waves. Soon, a small snow-terrain vehicle was seen speeding ahead of the rolling dust.

"Captain Lin."

Driving the car frantically to escape, Xiao Yuan at this moment looked at the vast dust in the rearview mirror, his mind almost blank, his gaze focused on the front as the treads rolled over the rubble and the shattered streets.

Upon hearing KIKI’s call in the communicator, she became extremely anxious about Lin Xian’s safety. But she knew, this pot of Hell Black Chrysanthemum had to be taken away quickly, the farther from Captain Lin, the better, otherwise, this worm would definitely go after Captain Lin.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan glanced at the Hell Black Chrysanthemum beside her, and her face gradually became resolute.

Rumble rumble, the sound of the earthquake grew closer, and the speed of the snow-terrain vehicle was no match for the worm underground.

In an instant, Xiao Yuan only felt the car rocking up and down like a ship in the waves, realizing the Monster had caught up with her. Immediately, she snatched the Hell Black Chrysanthemum and prepared to jump off the vehicle.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a sound swept quickly from afar. Wen Zhuo, acting decisively, used magnetic control power to lift the entire snow-terrain vehicle into the air!

The immense lifting force slammed Xiao Yuan onto the seat. Just when she thought she was saved, a huge dust cloud suddenly rose from the ground below, and with a loud explosion, an Abyss Giant Mouth like a black hole burst forth from underground, engulfing the entire airborne vehicle!

Instantly, Xiao Yuan felt the light around her swallowed by darkness, and at that moment, even her heartbeat seemed to slow by a beat.

"Catch it!!" Out of nowhere came the strength, and just as the snow-terrain vehicle was about to be devoured by the giant worm, she managed to hurl the Hell Black Chrysanthemum towards Wen Zhuo’s direction with all her might...

Bang!

The next instant, the snow-terrain vehicle was completely consumed by the Abyss Giant Mouth.

Wen Zhuo’s eyes widened as the magnetic control power in his hands couldn’t hold the snow-terrain vehicle, he could only catch the Hell Black Chrysanthemum thrown out in that critical moment.

"Xiao Yuan!!" KIKI shouted loudly from the distant ruins, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Krzzk...no... no problem..."

Through the crackling and buzzing of the communicator, Xiao Yuan’s voice came intermittently.

"...you... all have to live on..."

Within the snow-terrain vehicle swallowed by the Abyss, Xiao Yuan clung tightly to the communicator.

"A convoy having a 5% casualty loss is quite normal..."

"On the way, which big convoy hasn’t had a death rate of more than 5% to 6% each time they go through the Black Night? Some even reach over 10%, whenever night falls, there’s never no death."

"Each time a convoy experiences casualties, most of those who perish are the weaker, less protected marginal personnel or ordinary people, there’s nothing overly remarkable..."

Rumble rumble, the Abyss Worm quickly shrank back underground, watching the signal from the communicator rapidly fading, Xiao Yuan closed her eyes and prepared to utter her final words through the communicator.

"Captain Lin, I..."

Boom, the very next moment, the entire snow-terrain vehicle exploded wholly, signal cut off.

Thump thump thump!

However, at this very moment, the entire Central District’s ruins suddenly underwent violent shaking. Just as the Abyss was about to drill back underground, a super-giant mecha came crashing in a super-low gliding assault posture, the storm of snow in the sky and the great fire burning on the ground both extinguished by a powerful air pressure, the whole ruins trembling!

"Lin Xian!!!" KIKI was shouting.

In the cockpit, Lin Xian drove the No.1 Pangu Machine solo, his eyes filled with blood-red, rushing directly to grab the edge of the Abyss Worm’s giant mouth, then raised his right hand, and the No.1 Pangu Machine’s right hand began to mecha transform, the five fingers reshaping into a Triangular Phase Ring, starting to spin at high speed. However, the magnetic levitation acceleration track didn’t light up, he directly used the high-speed rotating Phase Ring as a rotary shield tunneling machine!

"If you want to eat my people, you! are! DREAMING!!!!"

Lin Xian roared furiously, the rotary shield tunneling machine crashed from above, directly plunging into the Abyss Worm’s giant mouth, the buzzing and whirling tearing through a rain of bloody chunks, pulling along, he forcefully grasped the snow-terrain vehicle swallowed down, thump thump thump, the No.1 Machine’s right arm’s thousands of engines roaring, hydraulic transmission shafts exploding with ten-thousand-ton torque, fiercely pulling the snow-terrain vehicle together with a large section of the Abyss Worm’s esophagus out!
