He didn't give Dark Surge any chance to struggle or speak, and pulled his arm that was gripping the energy noose sharply backward.
"Come here!"
An immense force transmitted through the energy rope, and Dark Surge felt an irresistible force constricting his neck, pulling him like a rag doll toward Chen Yuan.
He tried to hook his feet on the protrusions in the ground, but it was no use. He was dragged along the metal surface, sparks flying, and crashed through debris and obstacles in a pathetic manner.
Chen Yuan hovered in mid-air, pulling on the energy rope with one hand, dragging the dark current across the ruins on the top of the lighthouse.
This behavior is akin to punishing a lowly prisoner; it is a blatant humiliation and an absolute crushing of power.
Dark Surge was only at the third level, and was no match for Chen Yuan in a direct confrontation.
Chapter 108 High-Power Electromagnetic Gun
"Ugh..."
Dark Surge felt as if his neck was about to be snapped. The burning and electric shocks from the energy noose continued to erode his armor and body, and his consciousness began to blur. He had never experienced such humiliation and near-death.
"Captain... help..."
He called for help through the communicator, but could only make hoarse, gasping sounds; the severely injured Hailong was now in no condition to save himself.
As he was about to be dragged to Chen Yuan's feet to suffer inhuman torture, the instinct for survival and the extreme humiliation drove An Yong completely mad.
"Damn bastard, let's burn our life essence and see who dies first!"
Dark Surge fought desperately, and an extremely unstable yet exceptionally violent fluctuation of bio-energy suddenly erupted from his body.
He sacrificed his future potential and life essence in exchange for a rapid surge in power in a short period of time.
The biological armor patterns on its body surface instantly turned crimson, and its strength and speed increased dramatically.
"Let go, you bastard!"
He roared hoarsely, his arm muscles bulging, his claws covered in biological armor gripping the energy noose around his neck, using the terrifying power gained from burning his life force, combined with the high-frequency vibrations of the bone dagger, to tear and cut wildly.
"Zizzizizi!"
The energy noose rubbed violently against the raging bio-energy and the high-frequency vibrating bone dagger, producing a piercing noise.
Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing the immense resistance emanating from the noose: "Oh? A desperate counterattack?"
"Oh!"
Ultimately, the undercurrent's all-out burst of power prevailed. Furthermore, the energy noose was not invincible. With Chen Yuan's energy insufficient and the opponent unleashing their potential, the tough energy noose was forcibly broken, scattering into countless scattered energy fragments.
"Cough, ha!"
The moment the noose snapped, An Yong was like a taut spring being released, his whole body was violently thrown backward, coughing up mouthfuls of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his face as pale as paper, and his breath instantly weakened to the extreme.
Although he broke free, he paid a heavy price; his life potential was overburned, and he was soon to be seriously injured and on the verge of death.
He didn't even dare to look at Chen Yuan again. The moment he broke free, he used the force of flying backward to desperately urge the damaged bio-aircraft behind him, and staggered toward the sea dragon.
"Everyone retreat!"
Having recovered somewhat, Hailong stood up and spoke into the encrypted chat channel.
Chen Yuan appeared relaxed, but he was actually on high alert.
These awakened beings possess bizarre and unpredictable abilities, making them quite troublesome when it comes to fighting for their lives.
If there had been enough energy, the noose would never have been broken.
Through this battle, he gained a more direct understanding of these evolved beings from the "old world".
……
The fierce fighting continues on battlefields around the lighthouse, but the scales of victory have begun to tip in favor of the lighthouse.
The outer platform of the command center.
Tide clutched the severed wound on his left shoulder, from which blue blood (possibly a special biological agent or energy liquid) was dripping continuously. His face was pale from the intense pain and blood loss.
He heard Hailong's voice in his earpiece and didn't hesitate at all.
"Hmph, you're lucky this time!"
Tide glared fiercely at Mark, who was closing in step by step, and suddenly pushed off the edge of the platform. At the same time, the flight thrusters of the dark blue armor on his back activated instantly, spewing out a powerful blast of air, carrying him rapidly towards the distant sea.
"Don't try to escape!"
Mark gritted his teeth, and the thrusters on his back ignited simultaneously, transforming him into a black meteor that relentlessly pursued the enemy.
The broken corridor in the middle level.
After killing Steel Shark, Mo Cheng came to support Erica.
Erica's Storm Shark lay sprawled in the ruins, its chainsaw shield on its left arm completely destroyed, its chest armor severely dented, its cockpit canopy cracked, and its V-shaped goggles dimmed.
"Erica!"
Mo Cheng rushed forward, pried open the partially deformed armor, and saw Erica inside, her face pale and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
"Heh, he's not... he's not going to die yet..."
Erica gave a weak laugh. "That big guy... he's really something..."
Seeing his companion seriously injured, Mo Cheng's eyes burned with rage: "Bastards, they think they can just run away after hurting someone?"
He carefully positioned Erica in a relatively safe location. "Hang in there, the medical staff are coming."
The medical staff in Mexico City who had already seen the lighthouse felt half of their worries lifted.
"Hold on, don't fall asleep, wait for me to come back."
After saying that, he resolutely turned around, his mech thrusters blasting, and he chased after the direction of the retreating debris he sensed. He was determined to avenge Erica for this debt.
High-rise circular platform.
Feixue and Ranbing had just reunited.
Feixue's sniper cannon barrel was slightly red, and Ranbing's [Frost Oath Guardian] was also covered with a layer of frost that had not yet completely melted and minor damage.
Before them stood the Siren's eternal ice sculpture.
Upon hearing the command, the two female warriors exchanged a glance, without exchanging any words, yet their understanding was perfect.
Simultaneously activating their thrusters, two figures, one white and one silver, shot off like arrows, chasing after the last two members of the Raging Waves Squad who were fleeing.
Top of the lighthouse.
Chen Yuan hovered in the air, overlooking the damaged part of the Loongson 7 combat suit. Nanoparticles were slowly repairing it, and the core energy level had dropped from 200% to 56%. His cold gaze, hidden beneath his visor, swept across the surroundings as he calmly analyzed the situation.
They saw Sea Dragon, Tide, Reef, and four other members of the Sea-Land Alliance, a total of eight people, rapidly escaping in the same direction—the southeastern sea—using various biological flying machines or propulsion devices.
Mark, Mo Cheng, Fei Xue, and Ran Bing were hot on their heels.
"Mark, Mo Cheng, Fei Xue, Ran Bing, halt the pursuit and return immediately!"
Chen Yuan's calm voice reached the four people through the team channel.
"City Lord? Why?"
Mo Cheng's voice rang out first, filled with incomprehension and anger, "We can't just let them leave like this! So many people have died at Lighthouse, and Erica was injured so badly by them!"
“Lord, their aircraft are not as fast as ours. I am confident that I can catch up with and defeat our previous opponents.” Mark’s voice was calm, but tinged with a hint of resentment.
Seeing this, Feixue and Ranbing did not speak, but their slowed pace showed their hesitation.
Chen Yuan's gaze remained fixed on the eight black dots that were gradually shrinking in his field of vision. His tone left no room for doubt: "Execute the order. Their flight path and direction are consistent, and this angle is perfect. Besides, who said they were allowed to just run away like that?"
He slowly raised his hand, facing the sea to the southeast, as if aiming at the void.
"Loongson".
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
"Global scan, calculate distance, lock onto all eight escaped biosignals, calculate their flight speed, trajectory intersection point, and predicted location within the next ten seconds."
[Scanning... Calculating... Target locked, energy signal feature analysis: Deep Sea Team 4, Raging Waves Team 4, trajectory calculation in progress... Calculation complete, predicted intersection area marked.]
"Connect the electromagnetic cannon, authorize the highest level of access, charge to maximum power, target prediction intersection area, and launch a long-range saturation strike!"
[Command confirmed. Electromagnetic gun system activated. Target parameters input... Energy core overload operation... Charging initiated... Estimated charging time: 7 seconds. Warning: Overload firing will significantly shorten the barrel's lifespan and consume 25% of the base's emergency energy.]
"Execute without warning!"
A huge armored plate above the lighthouse base slowly slid open, revealing a massive electromagnetic track that was tens of meters long.
The pale blue arcs of electricity leaped and converged wildly on the track, emitting a heart-pounding buzzing sound.
The lighthouse's lights dimmed for a moment as a massive amount of energy was being frantically extracted and compressed!
Mark and the others, who had already returned to the lighthouse platform, also felt the faint vibrations beneath their feet and the terrifying energy fluctuations permeating the air.
They looked up and saw the giant cannon gathering destructive power, instantly understanding Chen Yuan's intention.
Chapter 109 So terrifying
Mo Cheng's eyes widened, his previous anger turning to shock: "City Lord... what are you going to do..."
Chen Yuan did not turn around, but coldly stared at the eight figures in the distance that were almost reduced to dots, his killing intent boiling.
"No matter what faction they belong to, how dare they invade the lighthouse and expect to get away unscathed?"
His voice, coming through the mask, was utterly cold: "There's no such thing as a free lunch. So many people have died; they will have to pay the price."
[Charging complete, target locked!]
Launch countdown: 3…2…1…
Chen Yuan raised his hand and then suddenly swung it downwards!
"Fire!"
boom!!!!!!!!!!!
Suddenly, a deafening roar, seemingly capable of tearing the heavens apart, erupted.
It wasn't the sound of a traditional gunpowder explosion, but rather the air explosion caused by extreme acceleration.
A massive, thick metal projectile, crackling with destructive blue electric arcs, veered off course and disappeared into the southeastern horizon at a speed far exceeding that of a conventional electromagnetic cannon.
