A member of the Black Iron level atomic fission team took out a metal sampler and slowly aimed it at a relatively intact charred protrusion, preparing to perform contact sampling.
Just before the sampler was about to touch the charred surface.
suddenly.
The charred material, which everyone considered inanimate, trembled without warning.
This sudden movement triggered a chain reaction.
The entire scorched ground began to throb incessantly.
It quickly spread to a range of tens of meters.
"Back off!"
Zheng Weiguo kept a close eye on the situation below and reacted quickly.
Almost the instant the shaking occurred, he dove down, grabbed Deputy Director Luo's armor shoulder strap, unleashed a powerful burst of strength, and simultaneously kicked off the vitrified crater wall with both feet, dragging Deputy Director Luo upwards at an astonishing speed.
Han Ning reacted just as quickly. As Zheng Weiguo spoke, he shot out two water vines that entangled the equipment of the other two Atomic Fission members and pulled them up.
The changes below are still ongoing.
The charred area was now covered in cracks.
It was like an eggshell on the verge of breaking, being forced open from the inside by an incredibly powerful force.
"Boom!"
A continuous, low rumble echoed from the pitch-black depths of the sea.
Countless charred fragments mixed with viscous black liquid shot out in all directions.
Immediately afterwards, a massive, suffocating shadow emerged from the center of the explosion.
"This is……"
Han Ning possessed dark vision, and he clearly saw a huge, charred whale crawling out from the scorched seabed below the source point.
Or rather, it was the remains of a giant whale.
Its body was over 100 meters long, with large areas of its skin peeled off, revealing the dark bones underneath, and many places still shimmering with the dark red embers left by the nuclear explosion.
On the back, head, and eye sockets of this charred giant whale, dozens of strange creatures of various shapes and sizes are growing, or rather, parasitizing.
These creatures were also in a state of semi-death. Some resembled twisted octopuses with their tentacles hanging limply, while others looked like enlarged, rotting starfish, clinging tightly to the surface of a whale, their bodies also covered in scorch marks, yet still emitting faint black tide psionic energy fluctuations.
The whale's movements as it emerged were stiff and slow, yet carried a heavy, oppressive force that seemed to crush everything, stirring the surrounding seawater and creating violent undercurrents.
"Unleash ranged attacks to stop it from getting closer!"
The moment Zheng Weiguo regained his footing, he issued the order.
He knew he absolutely had to prevent the strange monster from fully activating.
In an instant, the ranged awakened ones of the Sword of Judgment unleashed a variety of dense energy beams.
The naval Jiaolong team also launched their self-made long-range weapons in unison.
The members of the Biyun Gathering Area each displayed their unique abilities...
Han Ning did not make a move immediately.
With the appearance of the giant whale, he vaguely felt uneasy.
That sense of unease originated from within the giant whale's body.
It seems that something extremely terrifying is reviving.
He must have a plan in mind and deal with this seriously.
Countless attacks rained down on the charred giant whale, exploding into bursts of energy ripples that sent debris flying everywhere.
However, this giant whale has amazing defensive capabilities; its carbonized skin provides extremely strong protection, and most attacks can only leave shallow marks.
"Woo!!"
The charred giant whale seemed to be enraged, and with a flick of its tattered tail, it swept upwards with overwhelming force.
At the same time, it opened its enormous maw, large enough to swallow mountains.
A powerful suction force formed from its mouth, pulling the surrounding seawater, along with several team members who were relatively close, into its mouth!
"careful!"
Chapter 300 Cataclysmic Bombardment
Zheng Weiguo's arms crackled and sputtered, unleashing a dense array of dark red lightning bolts.
It transformed into two enormous energy hands, plunging into the vitrified rock layer on the seabed to forcibly stabilize itself. At the same time, it split into more than ten electric arc chains, wrapping around the team member who had been sucked in by the giant whale.
Han Ning's four claws burned with golden flames, his tiger head was raised, and a blazing white-gold breath blasted towards the giant whale's upper jaw, attempting to interrupt its devouring.
Wherever his breath passed, the seawater boiled and evaporated violently.
At this point, he had no choice but to take action.
Zhao Kai roared and slammed his battle axe into the ground, his muscles swelling inch by inch, his iron-gray skin gleaming with a metallic sheen.
His diving gear was specially modified to be exceptionally large, specifically to match his abilities and characteristics.
Unlike Han Ning, Zhao Kai cannot transform, and relying solely on physical strength, it would be difficult for him to maintain his fighting ability in the deep sea.
Therefore, he cannot tear off his clothes at will.
This also means that combat effectiveness is limited to a certain extent.
"Certainly!"
Beneath the mask, Zhao Kai's pores emitted shimmering steam.
It actually used itself as an anchor point to block the suction force for its teammates around it.
"Attack the inside of the mouth!" Li Feng's voice rang out in the communication.
Various energy attacks shot into the giant whale's mouth, exploding into bursts of fire.
Taking advantage of the moment when the giant whale was in pain and its suction weakened slightly, Zheng Weiguo's electric arc chains finally managed to forcibly pull back the team members who had been sucked in.
However, this is just the beginning.
“Jie!!”
Taking advantage of the moment, the dozens of parasites on the back of the charred giant whale broke free of their carbonized shells, revealing their twisted and ferocious bodies.
Like an evil spirit born from rotting corpses, carrying a dense aura of black tide, it rushed towards the human ranks.
"Disperse into squads and engage the enemy!"
Zheng Weiguo quickly gave the order, and at the same time, dark red lightning around his body condensed into a set of thunder armor. With a punch, a thick electric python blasted a parasite of a rotting starfish that pounced on him to pieces.
The two sides made contact, and the battle immediately intensified.
Li Feng's figure was like a ghost, leaving afterimages in the water. His long sword was drawn, its light as thin as silk, and he specifically sought out the weak points of the parasites' bodies to cut them. With each flash, a parasite would freeze in place before being eliminated by the other team members.
Zhao Kai faced off against a parasitic creature with a thick, carapace resembling a giant crab. His battle axe was powerful and heavy, ignoring underwater resistance. With each swing, it stirred up a dull shockwave that shook away the surrounding silt and radioactive dust.
The crab's massive pincers collided with his battle axe, but instead of shattering, they produced a dull thud.
"Hiss... so strong."
Zhao Kai narrowed his eyes, the scorching steam swirling within his body, further pumping out his power.
"undercurrent!"
Ah Long's body completely merged into the ocean, manipulating the water flow to create whirlpools and undercurrents, interfering with the parasite's movements.
...
Everyone in the Biyun community used their unique talents.
The molten gold war tiger that Han Ning transformed into was the absolute main force on the battlefield. Its attacks, including pouncing, biting, and tail sweeping, were all accompanied by blazing starfire.
A parasite that attempted to ambush Deputy Director Luo's team from behind was bitten by him, and the scorching flames instantly burned it to charcoal.
The parasites are numerous and extremely tenacious; even if severely injured, they can continue to attack relentlessly as long as they are not completely destroyed.
To make matters worse, the charred giant whale itself began to thrash its body, its massive size stirring up the seawater and causing violent currents that made everyone float unsteadily.
"This will drag us down, and we can't ignore this whale."
Han Ning shouted to Zheng Weiguo in the channel,
"Moreover, I have a bad feeling that there is something inside the whale that hasn't come out yet."
The uneasy throbbing within the giant whale grew stronger and stronger.
"Anxiety? Then we must act quickly!" Zheng Weiguo was startled; he hadn't sensed any unease.
The monster in front of him seemed particularly troublesome.
Even Chief Han felt uneasy, which means there's some even more terrifying monster lurking here!
Zheng Weiguo dared not think too much about it.
He casually punched away a parasite.
"What can you do?"
"I'll take care of the whale, but I need time to build up my strength," Han Ning responded.
At the heart of this deep-sea nuclear explosion, the energy turbulence is extremely violent, and the risk of drawing energy is very high.
"We'll buy you some time," Zheng Weiguo said without hesitation.
"All units, listen to my command and align yourselves with Han Ning."
The order was conveyed swiftly.
Despite facing immense pressure, the Sword of Judgment, the Naval Dragon Team, and the members of Biyun began to fight and retreat, shrinking towards Han Ning's position.
Energy barriers, earthen walls, and ice shields were erected, temporarily blocking the parasite's frenzied attacks.
Han Ning hovered in the center of the circular defensive line constructed by the crowd, and the life bud in his heart began to throb at an unprecedented frequency.
boom!
