Chapter 211: Deep-Sea Monstrosity p2
Lin Jiayao looked in the direction of the Extraction Point and slowly said:
“Before we set off, I have a question.”
“The last time I saw the Living Weapon was several days ago. During this time, it must have recovered more strength, possibly exceeding my simulation.”
“If the battle reaches the point where we will definitely lose our lives, what will you do?”
“I need a truthful answer, because I can’t simulate your thoughts.”
While Lin Jiayao was saying these words, Furukawa Hana had already found a good spot to lie down in the muscle depression on Lin Jiayao’s shoulder.
After hearing these words, Furukawa Hana, who was lying down, was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gaishu with a smile and asked, “I don’t know, what about you, Gaishu?”
After the question was turned to him, Gaishu was silent for a while, and then slowly replied:
“During the previous apocalypse, almost all the high-level Awakened in Japan had gathered in the Tokyo metropolitan area because of the radio recruitment in Tokyo.”
“In other words, everyone standing here, including Little Mika, are the strongest Awakened in Japan.”
“If even we, together, can’t defeat that ‘Living Weapon’, then Japan is not far from destruction… Even for the sake of the living Japanese people, I will not retreat.”
A very typical anime protagonist-like statement.
Gaishu was telling the truth. This reasoning was not difficult to understand, but the difficulty was in choosing to stand up after understanding this reasoning.
Gaishu, Furukawa Hana, including the five Awakened who were not chosen by Lin Jiayao, all chose to stand up after knowing all this.
Lin Jiayao asked herself, and she found that she didn’t have this kind of “courage”.
If there really was an A-rank landing in China, and Lin Jiayao’s simulation judged that she couldn’t fight, she would choose to directly retreat with her sister, and would not rush towards the A-rank zombie like a moth to a flame, just for the sake of the land under her feet and other living compatriots.
Lin Jiayao’s thoughts had never changed from beginning to end, and she would never play the hero. She would not choose to fight a battle she couldn’t win.
“I agree.” Furukawa Hana, who was lying down, also raised her hand and said with a smile.
After confirming the two people’s true thoughts, Lin Jiayao directly controlled No. 5 and ran towards the Extraction Point.
At the same time, after setting No. 5 to run to the vicinity of the Extraction Point, she immediately switched her consciousness and returned to her body.
Just as she returned to her body, Lin Jiayao happened to feel her sister holding her, bending down and gently placing her on the bed.
Lin Jiayao did not open her eyes, but raised her arms, wrapped them around her sister’s neck, and slightly pulled her head down.
“Eh?”
Lin Xiwan did not struggle, but just let her head down slightly following her sister’s strength. Then, she felt a light kiss on her cheek.
Just as Lin Xiwan was about to say something, she found that her sister’s hands had already loosened, falling limply to her sides, her eyes still closed.
Lin Xiwan, straightening up, looked at her sister, blinked, and reached out to touch the place on her cheek where she had been kissed.
But at this time, Lin Xiwan, who had been kissed by her sister, didn’t feel much joy.
Her sister being so proactive, according to Lin Xiwan’s understanding of her sister, it was most likely because she had encountered something very difficult.
Lin Xiwan sat by the bed, held her sister’s slightly cold little hand, raised it to her lips and kissed it gently, whispering: “Good luck…”
Then, Lin Xiwan slowly lifted the quilt, covered her sister, tucked her hands into the quilt, and then also covered Huayibai, who was lying on the side, with the quilt.
“Good luck, Huayibai.” Lin Xiwan rubbed Huayibai’s head, also giving her a blessing.
While her sister was praying for Lin Jiayao, Lin Jiayao was already controlling No. 5 and standing in the training ground.
Besides No. 5, there were also three Japanese Awakened standing on her shoulders: Kisaragi Mika, Furukawa Hana, and Gaishu.
And in her palm, she was holding the small Huayibai.
Not far ahead was the familiar Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, entwined with countless blue lines in the night.
Under Lin Jiayao’s control, she threw Huayibai in her hand. Huayibai drew a parabola in the air, and before landing, she fused into a streamlined flapping-wing insect, vibrating her wings and hovering beside Lin Jiayao.
Kisaragi Mika ascended according to the predetermined route, hovered in another spot beside Lin Jiayao, and began to accumulate energy throughout her body.
Gaishu, with his extremely fast burst speed, had already slightly bent down on Lin Jiayao’s shoulder, ready to sprint.
And Furukawa Hana was being held and protected in Lin Jiayao’s hand.
With offensive Awakened, Lin Jiayao’s main task was to protect them, and to protect them with all her might – this was the role of the No. 5 zombie.
Lin Jiayao slightly bent her left thumb, and the claw on her thumb directly pierced her palm, creating a bloody hole.
Viscous, pale golden blood flowed out, and she poured this blood onto the others, including Huayibai, soaking their bodies.
No. 5, which possessed Perfect Self-Healing, its blood also had a quick healing effect, but because of its larger size, the purity was not as high as that of a human body.
This amount, soaking their bodies, could only heal an injury like a severed limb once, which was equivalent to providing a layer of insurance.
Huayibai, whose body was soaked with blood, flapped her wings and flew to Lin Jiayao’s back, clinging to her.
Ready…
Lin Jiayao slightly lowered her shoulders and waist, bent her knees slightly, and when the red light on the left was already visible in her peripheral vision, she suddenly exerted force and rushed towards the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant ahead.
“Thump—thump—thump—”
Every step Lin Jiayao took was as if it had been precisely measured, avoiding all buildings that might slow her down, each step reaching its limit, maximizing her speed.
As she approached Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Lin Jiayao was like a professional triple jumper, taking two large strides forward, each jump as if she was suspended in the air.
When she landed on the last step, she happened to step in front of the gate of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, stepped on the blue lines that had already spread out, and abruptly jumped into the sea.
The moment she stepped on the blue lines, it triggered the Living Weapon’s defense. There was a terrifying commotion on the seabed. Several kilometers away, a large amount of seawater was pushed up, and a huge figure emerged from the sea surface.
Lin Jiayao’s all-out jump almost halved the distance between herself and the Living Weapon.
“Buzz—!”
A roar sounded behind Lin Jiayao. At the same time, Gaishu on her shoulder burst into red lightning, completely blackening the No. 5 zombie’s tough skin.
“Boom—!”
A red light blasted forward from beside Lin Jiayao, followed by a burst of red lightning.
Gaishu blasted towards the Living Weapon at almost the same speed as the energy wave emitted by Kisaragi Mika.
But unlike Gaishu, the energy wave aimed at the Living Weapon’s cracked head, while Gaishu rushed towards the exposed tailbone of the Living Weapon and the bundles of blue lines connected to the tailbone, which looked like cables.
Visually, it seemed like just a clap of thunder, and most of the blue lines on the Living Weapon’s lower body had been severed.
The Living Weapon stared at Lin Jiayao, the cracks all over its body began to emit a dazzling red light, and the small section of blue lines connected to its lower body also erupted with a dazzling blue light, seemingly accelerating the transmission of energy.
But by now, Lin Jiayao had already locked onto the Living Weapon. A blue light, which even the tough skin couldn’t block, emanated from her heart, accompanied by a loud buzzing sound.
The blood in her whole body was being rapidly extracted by the heart pump, allowing her to use Crystal Vibration Pressure at maximum speed.
Lin Jiayao raised her left hand, and a huge downward pressure acted on the Living Weapon’s entire body, dimming the light on its body slightly, forcing it to divert its energy to resist this pressure.
“Boom—!”
This was the sound of the red energy wave hitting the Living Weapon’s head. The crack on its head was pierced, and the red light all over its body flickered, and it fell into a brief stiffness.
Now was the time.
Lin Jiayao held Furukawa Hana in her hand, plunged into the water, and using the swimming experience taught by the system, quickly approached the Living Weapon on the seabed.
At this time, the sound of thunder was endless on the sea surface. The blue lines under the Living Weapon had been completely severed, and it had completely lost its energy source.
And Kisaragi Mika’s continuous energy waves also kept the Living Weapon in a state of stiffness.
These were all vicious moves… If compared to a fight between ordinary people, it was like one person grabbing the balls and the other poking the eyes at the beginning, leaving the opponent with no chance to fight back.
Lin Jiayao, who was rapidly swimming underwater, had already broken through the surface.
She directly reached out and grabbed the Living Weapon’s tailbone, pulled it down sharply, and with a thrust of her right fist, the thrown Furukawa Hana landed steadily in the gap of the wound.
Huayibai, who had been clinging to Lin Jiayao’s back, also detached from Lin Jiayao’s body before she surfaced, directly using her wings as propellers and quickly swimming towards the Blue Serpent on the seabed.
As long as Furukawa Hana and Gaishu’s attack power was high enough, it would be fine…
This was a step that Lin Jiayao had never taken in countless simulations, which was to directly destroy the Living Weapon before it self-destructed.
Furukawa Hana, landing in the gap of the Living Weapon’s wound, the black spiderweb cracks in her eyes flashed with red light, she clenched her fists, and her figure instantly disappeared from the spot, punching the Living Weapon’s wound repeatedly, blasting towards its insides.
Gaishu turned into red lightning, continuously cutting the blue lines connecting the Living Weapon’s wound, as if several lightning bolts had flashed across the Living Weapon’s body.
And Lin Jiayao, who had grabbed the Living Weapon’s tailbone, also mobilized almost all the blood crystal liquid in her body and directly used Crystal Vibration Pressure on the Living Weapon.
“Boom—”
The Living Weapon’s body, which had already had its blue line connection severed, could no longer maintain its weak connection under the huge downward pressure of Crystal Vibration Pressure. Its flesh and blood peeled off piece by piece, like a lamb being skinned alive.
And at the hole in the Living Weapon’s chest, Furukawa Hana looked at the black bone in front of her, her eyes bursting with red light, her figure instantly disappearing from the spot, and in the next moment, she directly punched the black bone.
“Haaaaaaaa!!!”
Furukawa Hana’s arms had almost turned into exaggerated afterimages, and even the bones in her fists had been shattered, finally creating a crack in the black bone in front of her.
The moment this crack appeared, like dominoes falling, this crack quickly spread and cracked, until it covered the entire frame of the Living Weapon.
“Crack, crack—”
After several explosions, the Living Weapon in front of her finally fell apart into pieces of flesh and blood. Without the blood crystal energy to maintain its levitation, it disintegrated on the sea surface along with a large amount of sprayed blood.
Finally… did they succeed…?
Lin Jiayao looked up, staring blankly at the black bones and flesh and blood constantly falling from above.
This was the perfect result she had figured out after simulating thousands of times, which could completely suppress and kill the Living Weapon the moment it appeared.
After admiring this never-before-seen graceful rain of flesh and blood for a while, Lin Jiayao reset the scene again and repeated the battle several times.
Every time, she could directly control and kill the Living Weapon the moment it appeared.
And the task given to the three Japanese Awakened was completely a fixed routine. As long as they strictly followed Lin Jiayao’s plan step by step, even three brains at the level of the Black Stem Fungus could kill the Living Weapon.
Follow the instructions, and then attack with all their strength, that was enough.
The simulation didn’t need any fancy battles. Being able to completely suppress and kill the opponent from the moment it appeared, this was the true purpose of the training ground simulation.
Lin Jiayao directly exited the training ground and switched her consciousness back to No. 5, taking control of No. 5’s body.
And the Extraction Point was already less than a thousand meters away from Lin Jiayao. Lin Jiayao could even vaguely see the nuclear power plant under the setting sun ten kilometers away, and the blue light on the nuclear power plant.
She slowly slowed down and finally stopped in front of the Extraction Point. There were still five and a half hours until extraction, which was enough time for her to fight.
Lin Jiayao slowly sat down on the spot, crushing a large area of buildings and startling countless Thorn Plant Zombies.
But Lin Jiayao ignored these zombies that couldn’t break through her defense at all, and directly extended her hand towards her shoulder, signaling them to stand on the back of her hand.
“Is that the place…?” Furukawa Hana murmured as she walked towards the back of Lin Jiayao’s hand, looking at the nuclear power plant faintly glowing with blue light in the distance.
Even from such a distance, she could already feel the discomfort brought by the nuclear radiation, and the blood crystals in her body were also automatically consuming at a very slow speed.
“I’ve simulated it a few times, and all the results were successful…”
