Chapter 263 - The Critical Speed (1/2)
Numerous points of impact, both big and small, had appeared on the surface of the black walls, parts of which had even collapsed.
The scorch marks and shattered stones were indicative of what Blackstone Fort had experienced.
This was not a battle. This was a war!
At this moment, a bunch of figures appeared in the distance. Looking closer, one would see two people, one with a tall build and another a pet.i.te feminine form. Both were shrouded in flames, quickly moving forward.
Soon, the fiery figures came into view.
Qin Feng had a steely expressionless face, but he was obviously not happy, speaking in a hushed tone, “What took you so long? Any longer and you wouldn’t have to even come!”
Yang Ping only felt an overwhelming murderous aura that screamed death coming from Qin Feng, and the faint scent of blood.
This briefly made him feel a sense of dread. It had been no more than ten days but looking at Qin Feng now, all Yang Ping saw was something that was enigmatic and unpredictable.
“Mayor Qin! Don’t you know that there are ultra beasts on the beach, it was really difficult for me to even sail here so don’t blame me!”
Qin Feng sneered, “Stop dawdling. Either we leave now, or all of us stay behind!”
Yang Ping was unconcerned, but he quickly nodded, “Yes yes yes!”
With this thought in mind, he swiftly instructed his crew to turn back to avoid going to Blackstone Fort!
In an instant, the once extremely st.u.r.dy walls of Blackstone Fort, walls that had been reliable for ten whole years, collapsed entirely.
Then, a monstrous wave squeezed itself through the fort walls and spread outward.
The waves were chasing after the speedboat with incredible speed, as if they were about to be overwhelmed at any moment.
“Hurry! The levitation gear, quick, quick!!!” Yang Ping’s voice was now a pitch higher!
The soldiers naturally heard the command, but not only that, a sharp siren was ringing out through the entire speedboat.
The alarm was warning about incoming beast generals. There were seven of them right behind them.
Such a situation was both thrilling and terrifying. If they were caught up with, they would surely be gulped down.
Having pushed the propulsion engine to its maximum speed and working with the boat’s suspension system, they frantically rushed toward Sea City.
However, they underestimated how fast the water was moving.
Cras.h.!.+
Even with the suspension system activated, the boat was still picked up by the waves and thrown forward!
“Activate the energy s.h.i.+elds!”
A sphere of energy quickly wrapped around the boat.
Kroom!
The wave instantly dragged the boat below the surface, the energy s.h.i.+eld s.h.i.+elding them from the wave. After submerging entirely in sea water, the speedboat popped back up on the surface as it gushed forth, carried by the waves.
The island barrier behind them had already been submerged beneath the waves, along with the fort wall of Blackstone Fort. The crack in the wall became bigger and bigger before the wall was completely destroyed.
The entire boat was tossed up above the waves before it was brought cras.h.i.+ng back down below the waters. Just as that wave receded, another ten meter tall wave loomed behind them, raising up into the air before violently slamming onto the boat’s s.h.i.+eld.
