Chapter 445 My car can do the backstroke!
As time passed, the moon slowly sank to the other side of the sea.
It was now past midnight; the moon had set, and the sun had not yet risen. This was the darkest time of day.
Inside the barnacle fortress, sounds echoed like wails and whale calls. The azure light gradually dimmed with the passage of time.
The pupils of the eyes inside the fortress were no longer moving, as if they were in a daze.
But the next moment, their pupils suddenly contracted. The numerous mutated monsters inside the fortress began to stir.
It sensed its enemy, the enemy that had turned it into this, and the motivation!
In an instant, a large number of sound wave signals came from the seabed. The monster, which had integrated sonar, clearly identified the information carried by those sonars—each one was telling the monster that there was a train here.
The monster's remaining sanity told it that these were all bait. The real enemy was infiltrated among them.
Subsequently, the noise jammer's power was greatly increased.
All signs indicate that the enemy is about to take action.
If it still had a mouth, the monster would definitely be wearing a cold smile at this moment.
Aircraft carriers have evolved, main guns have evolved, and frigates have evolved, so why hasn't radar evolved?
Better, more uncanny sonar and radar activation.
The equipment, designed with the previous version of sonar as the hypothetical enemy, finally revealed its weakness before this combination of attacks.
The monster quickly filtered out the false signals and locked its true form onto the rapidly moving heat source.
At this moment, the signal is moving rapidly on the seabed; it is the only signal source capable of detecting signs of life.
Numerous gaps appeared in the barnacle wall, and countless ship maggot-like monsters were ejected, falling into the water and rushing towards several suspicious signals. At this point, the monsters also considered the possibility of smoke bombs; apart from the most suspicious signal source, they used depth charges to probe the remaining signal sources.
Beneath the surface, Su Li stood inside the train, gripping the control terminal tightly. A red dot on the screen was rapidly approaching—a cluster of depth charges launched by the enemy ship. "Full range on decoys! Maximum noise jamming! Ivan, keep a close eye on Ember!" Su Li roared.
Ivan's forehead was sweating, his eyes closed, maintaining his connection with Ember.
In the distance, Ember Shadow was cursing and swearing as he ran along the tracks, carrying a huge device on his back.
The bait on his back was a new type of bait that Su Li had just made.
"They've taken the bait!" Sophia's magical eyes pierced through the seawater, detecting a large number of depth charges, and rushed towards Ember Shadow's direction. "Depth charges are coming!"
Countless dark shadows plunged into the sea, the shockwave from the explosion causing the entire area to boil. Ivan reached out, and the Ember Shadow instantly transformed into light, rushing towards it. The decoy carried by the Ember Shadow was torn to shreds in an instant, while the real train, taking advantage of the chaos, suddenly accelerated upwards along the tracks.
"Now's the time—" Excitement flashed in Su Li's eyes as his fingers flew across the terminal. "Orbital reconstruction! Let's show off and make me fly!"
The underwater railway tracks suddenly twisted, as if bent by an invisible hand, curving 180 degrees towards the sea surface, just like a roller coaster in an amusement park.
Modifying the track requires fixing points, and the fixing point that Zuli chose was the barnacle wall!
The tracks pierced the sky, the overloaded train's engine roared as if on the verge of collapse, and red sparks flew as the wheels rubbed against the rails.
Before reaching its highest point, Zurich adjusted the track again. This time, the track made a very sharp turn, an illogical track that seemed out of place in reality, causing the train, which still respected physics, to derail.
The entire vehicle was lifted into the air by centrifugal force, nose down, like an inverted sword, diving towards the core of the barnacle fortress!
Ivan channeled his magical energy to its maximum, using all his strength to activate his shield skill: [Wide-Area Defense!]
A shield of light enveloped the entire train, and under Ivan's control, the shield at the top of the train was deliberately made into sharp corners.
"You're all crazy! You're all crazy too!" Jiao gripped the handrail inside the carriage tightly, watching helplessly as the sky and sea outside the window spun upside down. The feeling of weightlessness made his head spin.
The barnacle fortress seemed to sense the danger, and its mantis shrimp arms frantically waved in an attempt to intercept it, but the train was too fast and too high, and its waving arms could not reach it at all.
"boom--!!!"
The front of the train slammed precisely into the eye in the center, and with a "plop," it exploded. Filthy flesh and blood, along with the slain flying ants and mosquitoes, splattered everywhere like a torrential rain. The carriage disintegrated and scattered upon impact, but Su Li used the momentum to flip and leap out, the freezing aura of the Moon Wheel Sword surging in her hand:
"Open it for me!"
With a sword plunged into the center of his eyeball, Su Li channeled his magical energy into his enemy. At the same time, the thorny rings binding his body continuously absorbed the life force from the wounds Su Li had inflicted, converting this life force into magical energy to replenish Su Li's own magical power.
This is the new ability developed by Song Mingyu's healer profession, which has transformed from replenishing life force to replenishing magical energy.
Beneath the damaged eyeball, ice crystals, like the roots of a plant, took hold in the center of the eyeball, damaging its internal structure.
The monsters let out screams of rage mixed with terror, which made Su Li's chest tremble.
But after being caught off guard, the monster launched a counterattack.
The sea cucumber-shaped battleship coiled around it began to writhe, as a large amount of magical energy was forcibly extracted and untreated, entering its body and placing a tremendous burden on it. At the same time, it spewed out a large amount of purplish-black liquid, beginning to heal the huge wound around its eyeball.
Sofia fired her grenade launcher in rapid succession, sending several grenades into the exit of the carrier hive. The explosions left behind a massive lava field and lightning-struck terrain. Flying ants and mosquitoes emerging from the hive reacted as if struck by an electric swatter, making a crackling sound.
Su Li had previously used her magical abilities to assess the flying ants and mosquitoes, discovering that these derivatives were exceptionally fragile, with defensive capabilities even below the Black Iron level. They relied solely on their overwhelming attack power and sheer numbers to suppress the enemy. For this type of enemy, the elemental terrain created by Sophia was the most suitable.
Sofia maintained the grenade launcher in her left hand and materialized a laser gun in her right. She swept the laser gun across the sky, selecting a lightning-attribute laser that would inflict area-of-effect electric shocks upon hitting enemies. Countless flying insects died meaninglessly in the dark sky, like wiping away a blackboard – a way to relieve stress.
