Chapter 82 Escape Pod
Because the power of this crystal explosion was too great, it formed a series of extremely violent chain reactions. Fang Senyan's position at the time was directly facing the shockwave. Therefore, despite having a full ten seconds of buffer time, he didn't have time to escape to the back. He could only choose the nearest anti-gravity escape pod marker and slam down on the emergency button.
A red light flashed rapidly. Immediately, two steel rings popped out from the ground, latching onto Fang Senyan's ankles to locate his position.
Next, a life-saving seat, as spacious as an office chair, was automatically sent to Fang Senyan's buttocks, allowing him to sit down while quickly sliding along the rear track. The sound of the seatbelt closing was incessant, almost tying Fang Senyan up securely.
Immediately afterward, darkness descended before Fang Senyan's eyes. A large airbag enveloped his head, instantly encasing him. Then, several more airbags suddenly inflated, filling with gas. Finally, Fang Senyan felt a dizzying sensation as he was sent into the escape pod and ejected at high speed.
However, even so, the ejected escape pod was still affected by the aftermath of the explosion. It didn't matter whether Fang Senyan had a hundred or two hundred, or even a thousand points of health. If he was at the core of the explosion, he would be reduced to ashes. Even at the edge, he would still fall unconscious from the violent shaking!
Fortunately, Fang Senyan's coma this time was a mild one. Although his consciousness was somewhat blurred, he still had some basic perception of the outside world, similar to the senses when a person is half-asleep. He could vaguely perceive someone opening the door or something.
Therefore, when Fang Senyan felt the escape pod stop moving, he began to struggle, trying to restore his brain's control over his limbs. Soon, his efforts paid off. First, his index finger, then his thumb... then the bones and joints all over his body began to awaken from hibernation like a snake, wriggling until he regained control of his body.
Fang Senyan first regained his sense of touch, feeling a warm and humid patch on his forehead that gradually turned cold. This should be a sign of a head injury with continuous bleeding. Then, he felt several wounds on his body burning and stinging, as if they had been scorched.
Finally, his vision began to recover, from a blur to shadows to double vision, then gradually becoming clear. He found himself in a desolate valley, full of rocks and broken cliffs.
The exterior of the escape pod that saved Fang Senyan's life was quite unsightly, like an orange that had been roasted for five or six minutes. A large amount of black ash would peel off with a light flick. The exterior of the escape pod even looked tattered, as if it had been gnawed on by many sharp-toothed beasts. If it weren't for the steel plates inside, it would look even more pathetic.
Because the lid of the escape pod seemed to have been directly chopped off, Fang Senyan was exposed to the cold air. A large pool of dried blood had formed near his head, even turning purplish-black. This was obviously not a good sign. The distinct, pungent smell of blood could easily attract creatures with a keen sense of smell.
One piece of good news was that the escape pod's built-in computer was not damaged, and the emergency supply pack inside was complete. Fang Senyan roughly checked and found that the Pandan's construction standards were indeed quite impressive. According to records, a total of six ejections were carried out before the Behemoth's disintegration, all of which were successful. Fang Senyan was the only escape pod that was in the path of the shockwave, so their situation must be much better than Fang Senyan's, so he could rest assured.
At this time, Fang Senyan also saw a scene recorded by the camera. When the Queen of Blades, who had been struck by that blow, glided through the air like a falling leaf, countless Zerg jumped up desperately, using their bodies to act as shields for their Queen. In that terrifying explosion, even the most powerful Mammoth was instantly swallowed by the light... but they still had no regrets and moved forward without hesitation!
But at this moment, Fang Senyan suddenly heard the sound of falling rocks not far away, and then the voices of two people talking to each other: "Hey, is it here? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Yes, it must be here. I definitely won't be wrong."
"Do you think there will be any danger?"
"What danger? You saw the power of that explosion. Even we, who were seven or eight kilometers away, were affected and haven't recovered yet! What can that escape pod do?"
"But... but Gray, Artemis clearly told us to track and check the west for any unusual movements. If we're discovered by Di Zilin for freeloading here, the consequences could be severe."
"If you don't say it, and I don't say it, how would she know? I'm telling you, Gavin, don't be so stupid as to be bewitched by her big ass. Even if that woman Artemis is very flirtatious, do you think it's your turn? There's a line of men outside wanting to bang her. Besides, that idiot Ronnie is so infatuated with her. Can you compare to him no matter how much you give? Did you see his ending? So I'm telling you, it's king to fill your own belly. What's the use of pleasing that slutty Earthling?"
While these two were chattering, suddenly, the rocks next to them exploded. A burly figure broke through the cover like a tiger descending the mountain, rushing out like a fierce tiger. The broken rocks hit Gavin's face, causing him to scream. It was Fang Senyan!
He crashed into Gray's chest and grabbed him!
But Gray reacted in a way that no one expected. Fang Senyan had just exerted his strength when he immediately felt something was wrong. Because what he was holding in his hand didn't feel like a human hand at all, but like an inflated balloon. As Fang Senyan increased his strength, he felt the thing he was holding explode with a "pop." Dust flew everywhere, and a leaf fell slowly. Gray's main body was already ten meters away.
In the short, stocky man's hand, a long, rectangular box had appeared. He grabbed it and pulled out a gray-white whip. Looking closely, the whip seemed to be made of human bones strung together, giving off a chilling feeling.
Gray didn't waste any words. He flicked the whip, and with a loud "crack," a look of surprise flashed in Fang Senyan's eyes. The whip looked inconspicuous, but during that flick, there was clearly a dazzling, torn blue-white electric light! And a crying sound!
Fang Senyan rushed forward again, and Gray naturally lashed out with his whip. Fang Senyan used his enhanced gauntlet to protect his arm, stubbornly blocking the blow and continuing to charge forward. The whip wrapped around his arm.
Fang Senyan immediately shivered, feeling as if a black hole had appeared where the whip was wrapped around him. His body temperature was being swallowed up as if by a whale. Even more frightening was that within a few seconds of contact, a thick layer of ice had formed on his arm, emitting a foul odor.
Then, Gavin also pulled out a rocket launcher, aimed it at Fang Senyan, and pulled the trigger! Fang Senyan was most afraid of this kind of slow-firing, high-powered weapon. Without knowing the enemy's details, he didn't dare to take it head-on for a while.
With no other choice, he rolled on the spot to avoid the brunt of the attack. But when he turned his head back again, he saw that the rocket was also turning diagonally and flying over. And Gray had somehow pulled out another whip, his murderous intent as vast and continuous as a surging river! With such a casual flick, he lashed out fiercely at Fang Senyan's back! Instantly, the StarCraft Marine armor that Fang Senyan was wearing shattered like a butterfly, flying in pieces!
With a "boom," the rocket exploded violently. Fang Senyan, scorched black, suddenly pounced out of the smoke. His left hand began to transform into the magic sword Apophis. Gray lashed out with his whip again. Fang Senyan used Apophis to block, but he didn't expect that a whip was a flexible weapon. Although it was blocked, the tip of the whip could still bend around strangely, leaving a bloody mark on Fang Senyan's face with a "snap," scraping away a long strip of flesh!
Even worse, the whip seemed to have the ability to absorb blood. Not a drop of blood flowed from the wound, and the flesh around the wound turned into dead, rotten meat, even spreading around. If it wasn't scraped off in time, it would probably become even more infected.
Next, Fang Senyan held on for a few more moves, and found that he was not a match for these two guys in terms of tricks, weirdness, or agility! Instead, he suffered a lot of losses. So he immediately took a deep breath, and his feet suddenly rooted into the soil!
The terrifying illusion of the Stairway to the Sun began to sway non-stop, waving its tentacles like a whip... countless invisible viruses spread happily in the air. A sharp, mocking look appeared in Fang Senyan's eyes, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Stupid guys... have fun with the SARS virus!"
