The journey back was unexpectedly peaceful.
The corridor, which was once crowded like a procession of a hundred ghosts, was now only occupied by a few scattered ghouls with broken legs, barely clinging to life in the shadows.
"This is not normal."
Hendrix followed behind Pei Qi, holding the cutter horizontally in his hand, but his gaze kept wandering over the dark figure.
As he watched the G0C manager walk with an extremely relaxed gait, almost as if he were strolling in his own backyard, the sense of unease and doubt in his heart grew bigger and bigger like a snowball.
Who exactly is this guy who calls himself Pei Qi?
"When did G0C's technology department discover this kind of technology? That black armor, although it looks like it's made of nano-carbon fiber, has no seams on its surface and looks completely seamless."
And just now, he jumped directly from a height of five meters, cracking the ground beneath his feet, yet his knees didn't even bend. Kinetic energy absorption? Anti-gravity field?
Hendricks recalled the events that had just occurred.
"A normal agent would choose to climb over or go around an obstacle, but he just pulled out a drill and dug up the wall? And where did the wall he dug up go?"
That portable space technology. That industrial drilling rig bigger than a person, and those guns that appeared out of thin air, all vanished in a flash.
"This kind of space compression and folding technology is only in the theoretical verification stage even for us at the FBC (Federal Bureau of Control). Only the Director's 'service weapon' that is bound to a soul has similar storage characteristics. Could he be a 'humanoid containment object' secretly cultivated by the GOC? Or some kind of cyborg that has been technologically modified?"
Just as Hendricks was having a wild imagination and was about to guess that Pei Qi was the Terminator T-800, Pei Qi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
Stop.
Pei Qi's voice came through the mask, deep and serious.
"What's wrong?" Altman gripped the cutter tightly, instinctively glancing around. "Another monster?"
"No, there is a big one."
Pei Qi looked at the chaotic central freight hall ahead, and on the small map in the upper right corner of his field of vision, an enormous, dark red icon occupied the center of the radar.
This place was originally the core hub connecting the drilling platform and the living area. It was a huge space with a dome that was twenty meters high, enough to park heavy transport trucks.
But at this moment, it was unusually quiet; even the hum of the ventilation system had disappeared.
The air was filled with a strong, almost tangible, stench of rotting meat mixed with sulfur and rust, a nauseating smell.
"I was wondering where all the bodies of the thousands of people in the base had gone."
Pei Qi squinted at the huge, heart-like mountain of flesh that seemed to be slowly pulsating in the shadows in the center of the hall.
"Even if you include the ones I killed earlier, there are only about fifty, which doesn't add up at all."
So—it all went into this thing's belly.
Before he could finish speaking...
"Boom!!!"
The dormant mountain of flesh suddenly exploded.
No, that wasn't an explosion, that was an "expansion".
As if in response to Pei Qi's mockery, a thick, fleshy tentacle, as large as a subway car, smashed through several load-bearing walls and hurtled straight at the three people at the door with overwhelming force!
That was a pure kinetic energy strike.
There are no skills required, no fancy aiming needed, only absolute quality and speed.
Faced with such an attack, the human body is as fragile as a mosquito. Even a battle-hardened super agent like Hendrix would be reduced to mincemeat if he were even touched.
"Get out of the way!" Hendrix roared, and Tong Kong shrank back.
But he realized it was too late. The tentacles were too fast and covered too wide an area, completely blocking any space to hide.
"Stay where you are!"
A chillingly calm shout rang out.
Pei Qi did not retreat.
Amid their gasps of surprise, he stepped forward and stood in front of them.
His right hand flashed through the air, leaving a blur, so fast that even a camera couldn't capture it.
"Da da da da!"
It was an extremely crisp sound, like building blocks falling to the ground, dense and rapid.
To Hendricks and Altman's utter astonishment, a pitch-black stone wall with a mysterious purple glow appearing out of thin air before them.
It wasn't built up gradually, but generated in an instant!
Four meters high, four meters wide, and a full meter thick.
【MC Obsidian】
"Thump—!!!"
The enormous tentacle slammed hard against the black wall that had appeared out of nowhere.
In that instant, it felt as if an 8-magnitude earthquake had struck the entire base. The terrifying impact was deafening, and the overhead lights shattered, sending sparks flying everywhere.
But that black wall remained completely still.
It didn't even leave a trace of white residue, let alone break.
Obsidian. It has an blast resistance of 6000 and its hardness is second only to bedrock.
Unless you slowly chip away at it with a diamond pickaxe for a few seconds, it will remain the same stubborn block even if you bombard it head-on with a nuclear bomb.
"This—this is your G0C's 'tactical bunker'?!"
Hendrix stared wide-eyed at the perfectly intact black wall in front of him, his worldview shattered.
"This is outrageous! Carrying a city wall with you?! This defies the laws of physics!"
"Basic operation, don't use 6."
Pei Qi calmly added two more obsidian stones, sealing off the blind spot on the side, his tone relaxed.
"Looks like the main character has arrived."
Through the observation holes left in the obsidian wall, the three of them finally saw the monster's full appearance by the sparks.
It was a massive, sanity-draining mass of creatures—a necromancy-mutant mother nest.
It occupied the entire hall.
Its body is formed from the fusion of countless human corpses; you can clearly see the faces of those corpses embedded in its skin, emitting silent wails.
Countless tentacles waved in the air, and at its center was a huge, yellow, glowing organ that emitted a deadly divine signal.
"It wants you, Altman."
Pei Qi calmly analyzed the situation while quickly repairing the cover.
"Look at its attack trajectory; although it's fierce, it keeps avoiding your location. It's trying to capture you alive."
As a special unit specially transformed from the Divine Seal, the purpose of the Mother Nest is very clear.
It aims to break free from the constraints of this base, bring the divine seal to the surface, and complete the aggregation of the "Blood Moon."
Altman, as the only wise man who could resist the divine signal and with a special brain structure, was a natural "divine architect".
The Seal needs him to live, and needs his brain to spread those twisted runic codes.
"Should I feel honored?" Altman's face was pale, and his hand holding the cutter was trembling.
"Probably. But their current invitation style is a bit too enthusiastic."
The voice just fell.
The ground suddenly shook violently, creaking under the strain.
The mother nest clearly possessed extremely high intelligence. It realized that a direct assault on the "absolutely defensive" black wall was not feasible, so it instantly changed its tactics.
"Watch out underground!" Hendricks shouted.
"Boom!"
The metal floor beneath their feet suddenly exploded.
A thick tentacle burst forth from the ground. Instead of attacking directly, it used its immense force to slam against the base of the obsidian wall!
"Splash!"
The obsidian wall, which was supposed to be "indestructible," was not broken, but it was blown away by the huge force coming from below!
The block is indeed unbreakable, but it is affected by gravity and can be moved!
"Damn it! The physics engine has been updated!"
Having lost their cover, the three were instantly exposed to the countless waving tentacles of the Mother Nest.
"roar!!!"
The mother hive let out a triumphant roar, and three enormous tentacles with barbs stabbed from three directions simultaneously, blocking all escape routes, and the air was compressed into a burst of sound.
"It's over!" Altman closed his eyes in despair.
"This is what you call an 'easy solution'?!" Hendrix raised his poor cutter, ready to fight to the death, even though he knew it was pointless.
"Don't rush, the most exciting part is yet to come."
Pei Qi's voice still showed no sign of panic.
He did not back down.
In that life-or-death moment, he stepped forward and stood in front of the two of them.
The lightweight nanosword that was originally in his hand had disappeared, replaced by a huge metal mechanical creation with an extremely exaggerated and heavy design, full of the violent aesthetics of Soviet heavy industry.
That's not a gun. That's a handheld artillery platform.
It is made entirely of a heavy, lead-gray special alloy, with a dense superconducting magnetic coil wrapped around its thick barrel.
The gun has capacitor banks hanging on both sides, exuding a dangerous aura, and is covered with conspicuous yellow and black nuclear radiation warning signs.
[HBM Nuclear Technology Module - Large Handheld Electromagnetic Railgun]
[Capacitor charge: 100%]
[Ammunition Loaded: Depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds]
"Buzz buzz buzz—buzz!!!"
As the trigger was pulled, the massive capacitor discharged instantly, emitting a chilling electrical whistling sound.
"You're good at physical defense, but can you withstand this 'Electromagnetic Acceleration Kinetic Strike'?!"
Pei Qi looked at the enormous tentacle coming towards him and slammed the trigger.
"Damn it! Eat my electromagnetic rotating teeth!!!"
"boom-!!!"
No lasers, no plasma clusters.
There was only one loud bang that broke the sound barrier.
A solid projectile made of high-density, low-axis alloy was launched at an initial velocity several times the speed of sound under the frenzied acceleration of the Lorentz force.
The surrounding air was instantly ionized by the intense friction between the projectile and the atmosphere, forming a blue-purple plasma trail that looked like a bolt of lightning.
The fleshy tentacle, powerful enough to crush a tank, couldn't even withstand a microsecond of contact with this kinetic monster.
"Pfft!"
The enormous kinetic energy snapped it in half!
It wasn't just a disruption; the terrifying shockwave carried by the bullet directly shattered the severed part of the tentacle into a bloody mist.
The bullet, still brimming with momentum, roared like a dragon unleashed from its cage, piercing through the tentacles and slamming into the massive body of the mother nest behind it!
In an instant, flesh and blood exploded.
