Chapter 255 The Night Watchman's Last Words
The circular isolation door closed behind them, blocking their way.
Inside the door was a starry sky suspended in the void.
The ancient bronze palace floated silently in this desolate universe, its walls covered with the marks left by ancient battles.
Lu Yan's gaze fell on the steps in front of the hall.
The skeleton, dressed in an old-fashioned military overcoat, remained seated.
It has been sitting here for so long that its dried bones are covered with a layer of cosmic dust.
Its one hand was tightly gripping a copper coin.
It was exactly the same as the one on Lu Yan's waist.
Lu Yan stepped forward.
The first squad remained still, silently spreading out outside the palace gates, wary of the surrounding void.
Lu Yan squatted down in front of the skeleton.
He reached out and took the copper coin out of the slot in his belt.
The copper coin still carried the warmth of his body.
He gently touched the warm copper coin to the cold copper coin belonging to another era in the skeleton's hand.
The moment the two copper coins touched.
hum-
A deep, resonant sound arose.
The copper coin in the skeleton's hand glowed faintly, projecting a fragmented holographic image.
The image shows a tired middle-aged man, also wearing a military overcoat, leaning against a pillar of the bronze hall.
Half of his body was burned to charcoal by high-dimensional energy, but his back remained straight.
The video was intermittent, interspersed with harsh electrical noise.
"I should have been dead by the time I saw this footage."
The man grinned, which aggravated the wound on his face, causing blood to seep out.
"My name is Lin Weiguo, the first generation of Night Watchmen in China, number 001."
"The gate behind me is the core of the Kunlun Earth Vein array and the last line of defense."
His voice was hoarse, yet it conveyed an iron will.
"Those Western parasites who call themselves 'gods,' and another group... even more disgusting things, want to open a breach here and bring the war directly into our heartland."
"I fought them for three months."
"Out of ammunition and food."
Lin Weiguo's gaze pierced through the holographic image, as if he were looking at Lu Yan, or as if he were looking at the Chinese land behind him.
"I've sealed off the passage, but only temporarily."
"Their technology is evolving and merging, becoming a hybrid and more difficult to deal with."
"They are experimenting on our fellow human beings, feeding monsters with our ley lines."
"Remember, their logic contains no glory, only devouring and parasitism."
Don't try to reason with them.
The images flickered even more violently.
"Little one, if you were able to get here, it means the situation outside hasn't gotten to its worst yet."
"This copper coin represents the highest level of authority in the Kuns Palace."
"Use it."
"Clean this place up."
"Tell those sons of bitches..."
Lin Weiguo's image suddenly tilted forward, one eye fixed on the camera.
"China does not accept garbage!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the image vanished completely.
The copper coin in the skeleton's hand burned out and turned to dust.
The skeleton that had sat there for who knows how many years also shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground.
Thus, a generation of Night's Watchmen vanished into thin air.
The area in front of the main hall was deathly silent.
Zhao Leiguang's bull-like eyes were bloodshot as he slammed his fist into the bronze doorpost beside him.
"Hold!"
A roar echoed through the empty void.
Wen Yue lowered her head and wiped the lens of the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow, her movements slow and forceful.
Xiao Qianyu's Dragon King Halberd carved a deep mark on the ground.
Lin Wei-guo's last words revealed a long-buried, bloody truth.
anger.
A silent rage burned in the chests of every member of the first squad.
Just now.
boom!
Behind the skeleton, a huge hibernation pod suddenly exploded in the wall.
Dark green culture medium splattered everywhere, emitting the pungent smell of formaldehyde.
A colossal creature awakens from its shattered hibernation pod.
It was an ancient Kunlun beast, a two-headed thunder eagle.
But its body has been completely altered beyond recognition.
The left head still retains the shape of a falcon, with a fierce look in its eyes.
The right head, however, was replaced with an angelic core composed of countless white crystals, radiating a nauseating holy light.
Its wings were severed, replaced by gleaming mechanical armor, with thick energy cables connected to its back.
Area Boss.
A stitched-together monster created by a third-party force and a Western false god.
The moment the twin-headed thunder eagle awoke, the angel core on its right side shone brightly.
stab-
A large-scale high-pressure thunderstorm, centered on it, instantly swept across the entire underground hall.
Blue and white electric snakes danced wildly in the air, illuminating the old battle marks on the walls.
The air was filled with the smell of static electricity burning.
"Activate shield!"
Lu Yan's instructions were concise and powerful.
Su Yunqing had already planted the tip of the staff bestowed by Yao Guang on the ground.
"rest assured."
The overflow healing to shield mechanism is fully activated.
A huge silver-white crystal shield enveloped the entire first squad.
The thunderstorm struck the shield hard, creating ripples of energy.
Su Yunqing's mana was rapidly decreasing, but the massive mana and super-fast recovery brought by the new equipment allowed her to hold off the entire team's defense.
"The shield is secure, and I have enough mana for three more minutes."
The two-headed thunder eagle let out a sharp screech, its mechanical wings unfolding as it attempted to take off.
It will blast these invaders to smithereens in the air with thunderstorms.
"Want to go to heaven?"
Wen Yue snorted coldly.
She didn't even aim properly; the muzzle of the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow rose slightly as she pulled the trigger.
A specially made armor-piercing projectile was ejected from the barrel.
The bullet struck precisely at the pivot joint of the right mechanical wing of the Thunder Eagle.
Click!
With a crisp crack, the axle broke.
The Thunder Eagle's ascent abruptly halted, its massive body losing balance and tilting to one side.
"Get the hell down here!"
Zhao Leiguang roared and activated the Savage Ramming attack.
With the Taotie double shields on his head, he crashed into the tilted body of the Thunder Eagle like an out-of-control dump truck.
The massive body of the thunder eagle was slammed back to the ground from mid-air, landing heavily on the bronze floor with a dull thud.
opportunity!
"Now!"
Lin Chuxue licked her lips and bit off the plastic stick of the lollipop.
One Blood, Ten Thousand Shields: Melee Mage.
She rushed directly to the base of the stunned thunder eagle.
Blood Pool Howl taps the ground with the staff.
One after another, the Blood Explosion spells, which had no cooldown, exploded on the Thunder Eagle's abdomen.
Dark red magical energy frantically tore at the mechanical shell of the lightning sculpture.
The metal armor was cratered and riddled with holes, and the connecting pipes burst one by one, sending sparks flying everywhere.
The Thunder Eagle let out a painful screech, its left eye locking onto Lin Chuxue, who was standing close by.
A thick chain of lightning shot out from its mouth.
Lin Chuxue neither dodged nor flinched.
The shield, with its 10,000-point strength, withstood the attack.
She even had the leisure to add another blood explosion magic circle to the eyes of the thunder eagle.
"Don't blink, the big one is coming."
Lu Yan's voice rang out on the channel.
He stepped on the blasted mechanical shell of the Thunder Eagle and made his way upwards.
The black lotus quietly bloomed in his palm.
The twelve petals each embody the pure law of destruction.
The Thunder Eagle sensed a deadly threat.
The angel core on its right side flashed brightly, attempting a final counterattack.
Lu Yan's figure moved even faster.
He leaped onto the top of the thunder eagle's head and pressed the jet-black lotus flower directly into the angel's core.
True damage burst.
There was no fire, no explosion.
There was only a sickening, corrosive sound.
The holy light at the angel's core dimmed rapidly under the erosion of the black lotus, and then went out completely.
Higher-dimensional energy was completely erased at the level of laws.
The massive body of the two-headed thunder eagle froze.
Then, starting from the core, it crumbled inch by inch, turning into ashes everywhere.
The battle is over.
Lu Yan landed steadily.
A massive amount of top-tier materials and equipment blueprints exploded where the lightning sculpture had vanished, piling up into a small mountain.
A drawing, shimmering with an unusual data stream, floated in front of Lu Yan.
Lu Yan reached out and caught it.
[Drawings: Structural diagram of the "Scavenger" prototype]
The drawings were covered with spiral-shaped third-party code.
The deconstruction process of the Void Disk starts automatically.
[High-level privilege code detected; reverse engineering possible...]
Lu Yan stored the blueprints in the system space.
Just now.
beep - beep - beep -
The piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire underground hall.
All the lights on the walls instantly turned blood red.
The cold, mechanical synthesized sound echoed overhead.
"High-level privilege intrusion detected."
"Start the 'scavenger' program."
