CHAPTER 791: CHAPTER 346: HIGH-ALTITUDE INTERCEPTION! (DOUBLE-LENGTH BONUS CHAPTER)

"The strength of this thing is immense!" Although KIKI used telekinesis to seize the Red Man Gu, she could feel a strong resistance, forcing her to use her hands.

Swish, swish, swish, numerous silver scale ripples emerged around the Human Gu, which emitted a bizarre roar, seemingly struggling continuously.

Lin Xian stood still. At this moment, he noticed that the red eyes of the Red Man Gu were fixated on him. All of them were wearing full-cover battle armor, and the Red Man Gu seemed to be capturing their information.

"Scanning? That’s unnecessary."

Lin Xian’s eyes narrowed. He raised his hand and seized, directly devouring a segment of the energy transmission device from the Red Man Gu’s spine. Instantly, the bright red eyes of the Red Man Gu extinguished, and its intense struggling ceased.

"Is it dead?"

"No," Lin Xian then controlled 25 Thunder Falcon Drones to fly closely above the Red Man Gu, all aiming at its head.

At this moment, the Red Man Gu suddenly reopened its eyes, with the body violently trembling after losing some sort of suppressive effect.

Whoosh! In the next moment, countless pulse lasers fired simultaneously before it could react, instantly erasing its head with precise high-energy pulse lasers.

At this time, the fully dead Red Man Gu emitted a burst of black gas, and its body finally stopped shaking.

"Hiss~" On the other side, Brother Huo got up from the ground and walked over, looking frustrated: "This monster’s abilities are so bizarre, it can even block fire?"

"It must be some energy-type superpower, but it can’t defend all the time." Lin Xian looked at the monster’s chest, where there was a bloody hole, blasted open by Chen Sixuan’s shot just now, indicating that as long as the opportunity is seized, dealing with it isn’t too troublesome.

KIKI let out a breath and dropped the Red Man Gu’s corpse on the ground, saying, "It’s not as strong as they said."

Her words made Brother Huo a little embarrassed, and the girl named Shi Zhi remarked, "It probably used a lot of energy just now to block the flames."

Lin Xian also nodded: "If this thing wasn’t mechanical, it would be a bit harder to deal with."

He said as he looked towards the distance in the passage; at this moment, the sound of bombardment and hissing could be heard, indicating that Grace must have encountered the Abnormal Body over there.

This trouble was also brought by the Red Man Gu, as it could move during the night, which was a significant advantage in itself.

Hearing Lin Xian and Shi Zhi’s words, Brother Huo’s face eased a bit, and he said, "I was a bit careless too. A lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. I should have used my divine trump card against this thing just now..."

Lu Xingchen indeed didn’t unleash his full power right away; his habit was to probe first, and the narrow space restricted some of his abilities. Still, being hit on the head by the monster with a rock was a bit of a loss of face.

Lin Xian paid no mind to this; suddenly, a sense of temporal stasis hit him, and he immediately looked at the time.

19:35

Low tide!

"Teacher Chen, protect Shi Zhi, KIKI, let’s intercept the transport ship, Brother Huo, clear the passage!"

"Can’t ask for more!"

Filled with anger, Lu Xingchen rushed out like a fire meteor, bursting straight through the passage. Here, Grace alone resisted a large number of incoming Abnormal Bodies, the ground littered with their torn corpses. As Lu Xingchen charged, Grace was being bitten by a giant insect trying to crush her.

"Fire Fist!"

Seeing this, Lu Xingchen launched a fiery punch, charring the giant insect’s upper half, and Grace landed lightly on the ground, unharmed except for the bloodstains.

After the low tide, most of the Abnormal Bodies within and above the passage and the 轨道 station vanished in an instant, with only a few low-level ones left to be handled by Grace and Brother Huo and KIKI, who arrived later. Then KIKI took Lin Xian along with Grace and Brother Huo into the sky, while below, Chen Sixuan escorted Shi Zhi to the rooftop of the 轨道 station to provide cover.

Time was ticking away. Almost at the moment of the low tide, Silent City’s surveillance information discovered two transport ships from the sewage treatment plant ascending rapidly in the southeast directions. KIKI, using telekinesis to continuously increase altitude while adjusting direction in Silent City’s surveillance anchor points, aimed to lock the course and altitude before the transport ships accelerated to supersonic speed, making interception possible.

This task for Lin Xian, KIKI, and the others was entirely new, but the current situation allowed no room for hesitation, as the opponent was clearly prepared.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

As they ascended rapidly, Lin Xian felt the air and twisted black fog around him getting denser, a suffocating sense of death looming overhead. Looking down, the silhouette of the White City was fading away, surrounded by a black space that seemed like drifting in a cosmic Black Hole.

"3 seconds, target approaching!"

Lin Xian then said to Brother Huo in the airspace behind: "KIKI, Brother Huo, if Grace doesn’t catch it, blast that transport ship for me!"

What Lin Xian needed to do was to capture the escaping replicants inside and control their brain-machine devices before they activated memory self-destruction; this operation was already a well-practiced routine for Lin Xian.

Just like the Red Man Gu earlier, whose mechanical suppressor was incredibly complex, it would take him some time to scan it, but for dealing with it, he just needed to integrate the energy device to shut down the target directly.
