Chapter 183 The Last Shelter
The long-lost, crimson halo of the blood-red sun fell in dappled patterns, but it brought no warmth whatsoever. Instead, it illuminated the crumbling city below as if it were a scene from a hellish painting.
Xu Si, however, felt a sudden surge of energy replenishment from the Star Anchor.
It was as if all the extraordinary energy that had been deducted from him was being replenished in one go, and the sudden burst of energy pushed his sequence progress forward by a big step.
At this moment, the city they were in began to wail and collapse without them even realizing it.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Sizzle—!!!"
The crimson sunlight shone on the exit of the air-raid shelter, making it look more like the entrance to hell.
The violent vibrations nearly ripped their eardrums; Yan Shi felt as if he had been thrown into a gravel crusher.
The terrifying sounds of houses collapsing and concrete shattering echoed continuously from above the air-raid shelter, while dust and debris poured down from the entrance like a waterfall.
Fortunately, the civil defense works were quite sturdy, providing them with temporary shelter.
"Everyone hide in the cars! Hold the barrier!" Fu Xiaojian's roar was weak amidst the roar of the engine; he could only do his best to make the final arrangements.
Xu Si's car wasn't in the air-raid shelter, but at this point, there was no difference between hiding inside the car and hiding outside.
"Brother Dao, come quick!" Jiao Jiao called out anxiously.
At this moment, Xu Si's star veins were operating at their maximum, allowing him to take in the annihilation of the entire city.
Like Xu Si, Ta Shan also did not get into the car.
They directly added several layers of rock domes inside the civil defense fortifications, and Xu Si did the same, supporting several ice crystal shields under the rock domes.
The outermost layer is the underground air-raid shelter, followed by Jiang Li's barrier, then the rocky dome of Tashan, and Xu Si's ice protection.
"Won't this time end up bankrupt again like last time?" Xu Si couldn't help but worry.
This was a real miscalculation; they didn't give us a single chance!
They didn't kill that many people in total!
Why did the boss come out?
Just asking, is this really necessary? Huh? Is it really necessary?
A gigantic "eye," composed of shadows and starlight, hovers above the ruins of Salt City, gazing down upon the entire city.
Each time it "gazes," it is accompanied by a more violent collapse of the city.
The air-raid shelter was trembling violently, seemingly unable to hold on for long. The reinforced rock dome of Tashan groaned under the strain, and Xu Si's ice crystal shield was covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
"What on earth is that thing?!" Jiao Jiao's voice was choked with sobs as she gripped Su Su's arm tightly.
"Don't make a sound." Su Su covered her mouth, her usually cool face now showing an almost frozen seriousness for the first time.
She could sense that the "gaze" wasn't directed at them, but rather enveloped the entire city.
That guy's target didn't seem to be them, but the entire city.
Even the aftershocks were enough to make Sequence 3 feel a chill on a spiritual level.
Chen Pei's figure appeared beside Xu Si.
"How is the situation?"
"No... The moment the Ten Thousand Serpents appeared, they all collapsed, and all the moisture outside disappeared!" Chen Pei seemed somewhat weak.
He is the son of the Rain World, but now the moisture outside has been sucked away by that big guy, making the sequence less convenient than before.
At that moment, that huge creature seemed to toll the final death knell for the city.
No wonder there are no other strange things in the city.
I doubt those eerie creatures would dare to come in!
They were still strolling around the city, looking rather silly.
Xu Si went even further, actually wanting to go hunting?
Well, now they've failed to hunt the deer and instead been hunted by it.
Those water demons in the rainy world have probably become that guy's food by now!
"Can we break through?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
"No! The entire city is collapsing, there isn't a single good road!" Xu Si's star veins saw it all clearly.
At this moment, Yanshi felt as if it had experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake.
If we were exposed to the watchful eye of [Lou Mi Wang], who knows what might happen?
Now they can only hope that this ancient site can provide one last refuge for their child.
The tremors crashed against the concrete structure of the air-raid shelter like a tidal wave, filling the air with dust and an indescribable low-frequency noise that sounded like the earth's mournful cry.
Xu Si's "Star Pulse" was like an overloaded engine, projecting the world-destroying scene outside into his consciousness without missing a single detail.
He didn't want to see it, much less experience it.
If he doesn't look, the convoy will be blind and deaf, and there won't be any time to react.
The entire city is currently undergoing an indiscriminate collapse.
The reinforced concrete peeled off and crumbled like a crisp biscuit;
The towering building collapsed from the top down, not by falling, but by "flowing" down like a sand tower;
The streets cracked and flipped, revealing the tangled network of pipes and foundations beneath, which then crumbled into dust.
That giant eye, composed of shadows and starlight, hangs above the city ruins, indifferently looking down on this 'sacrifice,' or perhaps it could be called a sacrifice!
Inside the civil defense shelter, a deathly silence enveloped everyone.
Xu Si regretted provoking these guys. Why was he always so unlucky?
Tashan maintains its rocky dome, with veins bulging on its forehead and sweat mixed with dust sliding down its rock-like cheeks.
His "Earth's Blessing" ability was operating wildly at this moment, drawing power from the still-intact earth veins beneath his feet, but each tremor caused his body to tremble slightly.
"Think of something quick, we can't hold on any longer!" Tashan gritted his teeth.
Xu Si's star pulse also sensed Jiang Li's swaying figure in the bus.
It seems the sequence is too low, and the barrier is not strong enough to support the strange methods used at higher levels.
"Chen Pei!" Xu Si turned to look at the pale-faced boy.
"How much water, in any form, is still beneath the salt market that you can sense and control?"
Chen Pei closed his eyes, the water on his body rippling violently. A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his voice trembling: "There...deep underground, in the old subway tunnels and air-raid shelter system, there is a lot of accumulated water!"
"You like to suck, don't you? Here, suck your fill!"
"If I were to condense a starburst and use the underground water system, how far could you send it?" Xu Si asked.
"Sending them out of the city is no problem!" Chen Pei said after thinking for a moment.
The underground water systems are all interconnected and do not require much extraordinary energy.
Xu Si calculated that his 'Star Guide' controlled the explosion of 'Starburst', and the maximum distance was roughly outside the city.
Chen Pei instantly understood what Xu Si meant.
Without any delay, Xu Si directly conjured a starburst with his hand and then enveloped Chen Pei in starlight, causing him to disappear into the air-raid shelter.
Less than half a minute later, a deafening explosion rang out from outside the city.
Xu Si was taken aback; his Starburst shouldn't have been that powerful!
Did Chen Pei add something to it?
