Chapter 259: Countdown to Self-Destruction
Green Sun Corps, Command Center.
The Chief of General Staff leaned against the railing on the bridge, almost spilling over the edge.
On the large screen, you could see Chaos Linkage and the mechas of the corps battling fiercely.
In terms of mecha, led by Feng Qingyu’s ‘Green Abyss’, together with a dozen mechas, they barely held back the giant beast from advancing.
The Chief of General Staff sighed, “Even Chu Zhao probably didn’t foresee that the giant beast he created would pose such a huge threat to the underground city.”
Below the ship’s bridge, bioengineer Wei Jie shook his head, “If it was under Chu Zhao’s control, Chaos wouldn’t have become so terrifying.”
“Chaos has become so terrifying now largely because Chu Zhao died, losing control, and is now acting purely on instinct.”
“It has consumed many giant beasts, incorporating the cells of other giant beasts, and has undergone changes in the process.”
“Driven by the instinctive evolution of giant beasts, Chaos has grown beyond its normal size and transformed into its current challenging form.”
The Chief of General Staff nodded in agreement with Wei Jie’s perspective.
If Chu Zhao were in command, he surely wouldn’t have let Chaos devour giant beasts or merge with the cells of other giant beasts.
In that case, Chaos’s strength would have likely been as assessed before.
Couldn’t reach the upper rank, but surpassed the middle rank.
That means surpassing the middle rank level.
That level wouldn’t lead to the situation deteriorating into what it is now.
At that moment.
On the big screen.
Chaos Linkage was about to launch a high-energy light waterfall that could penetrate multiple layers of armor, but the mecha ‘Green Abyss’ swiftly moved forward, slashing with its long sword to shatter the high-energy light waterfall into several high-energy beams shooting in all directions.
Followed by a continuous wave of explosions.
The command center shook violently.
On the big screen, the casualties in the city area rose again.
The Chief of General Staff clenched his fist.
Just then.
An alarm sounded in the command center.
“What’s wrong?” called the Chief of General Staff.
“Energy readings are abnormal.”
An analyst shouted, “Abnormal energy readings detected in the body of Chaos Linkage.”
“High-density energy reaction detected.”
“And it is rising at a very fast rate. If it continues at this speed, at this scale, without control…”
“The energy peak, when it erupts, is enough to destroy the entire underground city.”
“Chaos… Chaos seems to want to explode!”
The Chief of General Staff shivered, “What?”
“It wants to explode?”
“Why would it do that?”
On the big screen, a digital model appeared, predicting the destructive power of Chaos exploding.
From the model, it could be seen that if Chaos were to explode, it could destroy the entire underground city, even causing intense earthquakes with an impact range of over hundreds of square kilometers!
Wei Jie held a tablet, quickly browsing through information about the artificial giant beast, finally saying, “It’s an order.”
“Artificial giant beasts have no intelligence, they won’t judge whether an attack will harm themselves.”
“In other words, they don’t care about their own life or death.”
“All of its actions are just to follow orders.”
“Maybe Chu Zhao had planted the command to destroy Qingyang City on it a long time ago.”
“But at that time, he never imagined that the giant beast would only activate after his death.”
“Now that Chu Zhao is dead, probably no one can revoke this command.”
“And now, Chaos is facing various obstacles.”
“In this situation, in order to follow the orders, it decided to self-destruct!”
The Chief of General Staff shouted, “Quickly inform the captain, the giant beast is about to self-destruct, it must be killed before the self-destruction!”
“Also, calculate the time when the energy inside Chaos reaches its peak for self-destruction!”
As soon as he finished speaking,
Wei Jie shouted, “We can’t attack it!”
“Any deadly attack on it now will trigger an early explosion.”
The Chief of General Staff was puzzled, “If we can’t attack it, then what do we do?”
On the other side, the analyst came to a conclusion, “In less than 1 minute, in about 50 seconds, the energy will reach its peak!”
Upon hearing this sentence.
The Chief of General Staff’s face changed.
A thought came to mind.
Oh no!
Inside the Chaos body.
Inside the cockpit of the ‘White Dragon’, Luo Yan looked at the organ where the main part was located.
Was about to take action.
Suddenly, a window appeared on the command console, displaying scrolling information.
‘In the body of Chaos Linkage, there is an abnormal energy reading.’
‘High concentration energy reaction detected.’
‘In 50 seconds, the energy will reach its peak value, at which point, the explosive force will be enough to destroy the underground city.’
‘Warning, Chaos Linkage is preparing to self-destruct.’
‘Warning, do not attack, or it may detonate prematurely.’
……
“This…”
Luo Yan opened his eyes wide, is Chaos preparing to self-destruct?
He looked out through the panoramic window and saw the organ glowing red like a heart, surrounded by pulsating bubbles emitting a bright blood-like light.
Veins and nerves were bulging abnormally, occasionally pulsating like red electric snakes.
All of this was a sign of an imminent explosion.
Troop channel.
“Darn, how could this happen!”
“We have come this far, can’t we stop it?”
“What about the ones who sacrificed before…”
“Rascal, shall we have a showdown?”
All kinds of sounds started to ring out.
But soon, Feng Qingyu’s loud voice sounded out, “Quiet.”
“Classmate Luo.”
“What’s going on over there?”
“Do you think we have a chance to stop it?”
Luo Yan looked outside the panoramic window, “I’ve already seen the Chaos core, it’s curled up in an organ.”
“Originally I had the chance to destroy it, but was disrupted by a separate entity…”
Feng Qingyu’s voice was bitter, “So, is there no chance now?”
Luo Yan’s red eyes lit up with a silver cross, “No, there is still hope!”
He released all restrictions, allowing a large number of readings to float in his view, trying to capture the ‘source’ of the subject.
If he could destroy the ‘source’, he should be able to do it without detonating the chaos and simultaneously destroying it!
“Really?”
Feng Qingyu said in a deep voice, “Then let’s make a bet.”
“Classmate Luo, it’s your turn to see!”
Luo Yan couldn’t hear Feng Qingyu’s words anymore, at this moment, his focus was on that creature’s gray light.
After a moment, he saw a small black and red wolf.
It appeared and disappeared in that gray light, occasionally raising its neck to howl.
The source appeared!
Luo Yan immediately controlled the ‘White Dragon’ to move forward, and as it approached the organ, the bubbles on its surface began to break one after another.
The energy inside instantly diffused into particles, shimmering like a solar flare, swirling around.
As the ‘White Dragon’ drew closer, the ‘thick armor’ barrier started to flicker violently.
Luo Yan remained undisturbed.
He noticed that the closer he got, the clearer the ‘source’ became.
To ensure a perfect strike.
He needed to get closer, even closer!
Snap.
The thick armor shimmered twice and shattered completely.
Afterwards.
The water vapor around the mecha replaced the shattered armor and evaporated into wisps of blue smoke in the dazzling flames.
On the command console.
On a countdown timer, only 32 seconds left!
