Chapter 3249: Silver-white Eyes

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Li Yao saw clusters of white smoke rising up from the front of the row of warships in the middle of the waves. The Heaven’s Origin Sector had opened fire!

Although almost all the warships under the enemy’s command were destroyers and frigates of the 1960s and 1970s except for the carrier group at the end of the war, the collective sound of thousands of cannons was still not to be underestimated. It was different from the movies where a single cannon would only leave a mud pit. In the real world, even the coverage of World War II-level artillery could still cut down every hill on the island.

In that moment, time seemed to have frozen. The air seemed to have turned into something thick and heavy. The trajectories of every cannonball were clearly visible in midair.

No. It was not Li Yao’s imagination. Some kind of mysterious force had formed an invisible force field on the periphery of the Ark Island and slowed and fixed all the rattling cannonballs in midair!

The closest cannonball was no more than fifty meters away from the island. Everybody could see the bullet that was spinning like a gyro, but it could not go any further.

Li Yao sensed that dozens of intense life magnetic fields were surging behind him. When he looked back, he saw dozens of Hell Breakers standing in midair with their hands open and chanting solemnly.

Veins were bulging on their foreheads. Blood was flowing out of their nostrils and the corners of their mouths. Some of their hair was turning white at a visible speed. It was obvious that blocking the cannonball had consumed a lot of their physical and mental strength.

“Ha!”

Led by one of the prison breakers, they roared at the same time and pushed the scattered cannonballs back to the warship in their original trajectories.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Before he returned to the warship, the cannonballs had already exploded in midair, blossoming bloody red lotuses in the pouring storm.

The firepower from the shore of the Ark Island was spreading out, too.

It was neither a cannon nor a missile. Instead, milky-white pillars of light, or crackling metal projectiles that were wreathed in electric arcs, were rushing forward at a high speed. As long as they hit an enemy warship, they were often fatal wounds that could pierce through the front and the back like dry weeds. Whether the target was a fishing boat, a cargo ship, or a warship, they would all collapse within one minute and sink into the cold, deep ocean.

It was a pity that the tides on the surface of the ocean seemed to be against the Ark Foundation on purpose, which made it impossible for them to aim precisely. As a result, their turrets were exposed, and they were attacked one after another.

Although there were a lot of Jailbreakers on the Ark Island, not all of them had the ability to manipulate objects remotely and twist the force field. Even the deep-sensors who had awakened the memories of almost ten reincarnations were only able to interfere with the direction of three to five cannonballs. When more cannonballs came close, they would often vomit blood and fall to the ground with pale faces. Even if they could interfere with the landing point of the cannonballs, they would not be able to get out of the range of the Ark Island, not to mention going back the way they came. Very soon, scorching fireballs appeared one after another on the beachhead of the Ark Island, and the firepower of the counterattack became sparse.

Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!

There were noises of flies crowding on the surface of the ocean. Lying in the middle of the reefs, Li Yao narrowed his eyes and observed carefully, only to discover that countless Prison Guardians in flying suits and jetpacks were lunging at the ark island.

A war between the Awakeners had to be ended by the Awakeners.

Noticing that the enemy was drawing close, the Hell Breakers behind him roared their last, too.

“For mankind, for freedom!”

“I would rather never be reincarnated than live an ignoble life!

“We are not fighting alone. In the battlefield of the universe, the magnificent, brilliant ultimate war is being waged, too. If we persist and fight until the end, there is still hope for victory!

Many Hell Breakers flew into the sky to fight the Prison Guardians of the Heaven’s Origin Sector with their own superpowers or the weapons provided by the Ark Foundation that were beyond the era!

When the two parties engaged in melee combat and collided in midair, the scene was no better than a street brawl. It was even crueler and uglier.

One of the Hell Breakers had just chopped off the head of one of the Prison Guardians with his light sword when he was burnt to a crisp by another one. In the next second, a second Prison Guardian planted a ‘microbiotic bomb’ that looked like poison into his body. His face immediately turned pale, and his stomach expanded at a visible speed. His internal organs were all blown to smithereens.

The Hell Breakers on this side had just released some kind of brainwave resonance technique to form an invisible great array in the air, which cast the enemy into a state of weakness and stagnation. In the blink of an eye, the few Prison Guardians on the other side burnt their blood and sacrificed their lives, turning themselves into living skeletons. In the end, they spat out clusters of black fog that looked like swarms of insects and broke the great array on this side. Then, both sides were exhausted and unable to resist the gravity. They fell from hundreds of meters in the sky and were swallowed by the deep sea.

Even the deep-sea spiritual beasts that seemed to be aloof from worldly affairs, such as the big white fish with colorful fins and the colorful jellyfish, joined the battle under the control of the Hell Breakers. It was a pity that their combat ability was not as good as they appeared to be. Very soon, they were crushed by the iron beasts and turned into dirty traces in the black seawater.

The carrier group was getting closer and closer to the Ark Island.

In fact, modern warfare was all about over-the-horizon strikes. Even Li Yao could see the enemy’s carrier with his naked eye. This place was far beyond the range of the enemy’s air strikes.

However, due to the heavy rain and thunderstorms, it was not convenient to deploy the fighter jets and the bombers, and it was difficult to deal with the super awakeners with the help of the fighter jets. Therefore, the enemy was still pushing forward unhurriedly until they reached the beach of the Ark Island.

“Li Yao! Li Yao!”

He suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. It was Lady Gray Mist!

The grey mist lady’s face was paler than when she met the hunter the other day. She grabbed Li Yao’s wrist and said, “What are you waiting for? Red Pole wants you to go there immediately. The situation has changed. He has to activate the ‘super brainwave magnification system’ in advance. He wants you to form the core part of the puzzle with him!”

Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He looked at the super-large antennas around the island.

The Heaven’s Origin Sector had apparently discovered the weirdness of the antennas, too. Many of the attacks were aimed at the antennas precisely. Although the Hell Breakers were defending them with their lives, two towers of antennas were still hit by the cannonballs. They were melted and tilted in the raging flames, turning into piles of wasted iron and copper.

It did make sense. Although it was in a hurry, there wouldn’t be a second chance if it was not activated now.

“I’m on it!”

There was brightness in Li Yao’s eyes that even he did not notice. He jumped out of the reef and rushed into the underground command room.

Right now, the underground command room was a mess.

Because the space folds had been flattened, the interior of the island seemed to have been seriously twisted. The originally straight pathway turned into a zigzagging maze. Li Yao crouched and crawled through the gaps in the darkness. It was not easy for him to reach the command room that was full of screens yesterday.

Thankfully, the optical circuits and wireless signals here were very stable. Various pictures were still blinking on most of the screens, including the real-time situation of the battlefield in every corner of the Ark Island and the sea nearby, as well as the natural disasters that were taking place all over the world, as well as a series of data and statements.

With a few casual glances, Li Yao discovered that the situation in various parts of the world was quite bad. In just a few days, the natural disasters everywhere, including but not limited to earthquakes, storms, floods, hailstones, and volcanic eruptions, had become several times more serious. Countless populated traditional residential areas of human beings had been razed to the ground by magma, countless economically developed coastal areas had been reduced to water villages, and countless metropolises with tens of millions of people had collapsed like children’s building blocks in an unprecedented super earthquake.

It was… a catastrophe of civilization, an eternal catastrophe!

Watching the magnificent cities collapsing on the screen, the beautiful villages covered in volcanic ash, and the factories and farmlands swallowed by the flood, Li Yao’s heart and fists shrank to the minimum.

“I don’t have time.”

The Red Pole Star seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. His voice was ten years older than before. He was operating the control panel crazily, as if he were preparing for the super brainwave magnification system. Hearing Li Yao’s footsteps, he said to Li Yao without looking back, “We don’t have a second choice even if we can only activate 30% of the functions. You have to help me!”

“Understood.”

Li Yao asked, “How can I help?”

But he was quite confused. Where was Zhang Daniu? Was he too drunk to get up?

This guy was really a troublemaker!

He glanced back and forth between the hundreds of screens. Suddenly, his eyes froze.

He saw the fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector on dozens of screens.

Right then, above almost all the ships, including the carrier groups, a giant silver balloon rose up and floated into the sky despite the wind, rain, thunder, and fire.

Every balloon should be more than five meters in diameter. They were the weather balloons for high-altitude exploration or the air defense balloons for intercepting enemy planes. Therefore, they were very solid. Even though lightning was raging around them, it could not stop them from flying higher and higher.

Hundreds of silver-white balloons were floating between the dark clouds and the thunder, staring at Li Yao through the screen like hundreds of silver eyes.

Li Yao’s breath suddenly came to a halt, and his heartbeat became extremely weak. His fists, which had been clenched in fury for the destruction of the Earth, gradually loosened. His ten fingers twitched unconsciously, but his pupils enlarged slightly and lost their previous brilliance. Two silver spots the size of needles appeared in the depths of his eyes that were as deep as black holes.
