Chapter 261 - thousand-averaging I (2/2)
An incomparable sense of danger fiercely struck Zero's chest like a sledgehammer, causing its heart to heavily beat. Without thinking, he crossed his arms in front of his head and chest. Just as he made this defensive motion, a violent impact immediately struck his arms. The huge force pushed both of his hands backwards, pressing heavily on his chest. He groaned and spat out a cloud of blood mist. His entire body flew backward in an instant.
Zero was sent flying and the bomb in the archive instantly detonated. A loud muffled sound could be heard from inside the archive. A circular shockwave that could be seen with the naked eye burst out from the door, and the walls of the archive began to bulge outwards. Then the orange flame burst out of the door, illuminating a whisker as thick as a bucket. On the surface of the whiskers, countless granules were bulging, each of them the size of a fist. There was a faint light blue halo coming out from the inside of the grain. Each meatball was a bioenergy reservoir and also a point of exertion. It was just a single whisker, but it was already filled with hundreds, if not thousands of these particles. In other words, it had just withstood a huge impact from thousands of nodes.
He flew out, fell, and fell into the cold sewage. The terrifying impact caused his helmet to shatter from the impact, and fine cracks started to appear on the bones of his arms. Furthermore, the cracks were still expanding. The huge force of almost ten tons caused Zero to directly faint. He slowly sank into the water, closing his eyes tightly.
Just as he was about to touch the ground, Zero suddenly opened his eyes. His right eye spewed out a strong golden flame, and even the water surface glowed brightly with the golden light of his right eye. A very faint, yet already possessed some kind of majestic aura appearing on Zero's body. At the same time, Zero, who had instantly entered berserk mode, bounced up from the water. With a simple stride, he crossed a distance of nearly ten meters. He landed on the left wall and used both his hands and feet to run away like a primordial beast. He ran on the vertical wall at a godlike speed, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.
The light of the explosion in the archives was fading, and the records of the pioneers had been wiped out, except for a diary he'd put in his travel gear. In the diary, the data about the pioneer was also torn apart. All that was left was just a few sentimental words from Dr. Willost. These things were insignificant.
However, after the fire in the archive was extinguished, an invisible wave swiftly swept through every corner of the base. The entire base was shaking at a frequency that was difficult for the naked eye to detect. Weak waves were stirred in the otherwise calm water while the strange fish that were swimming around stopped all their movements. After the shock wave disappeared, the strange fish scrambled to escape. They entered all sorts of hidden places and lost their fierce auras. They could only tremble in the darkness.
The strange fishes were scared, because from the undulations, they could clearly read the fury of their mother!
After passing through a 90 degree bend, his agility had increased to the seventh stage, causing ripples to appear as he ran. The cone shaped energy waves pierced through the air, reducing friction and resistance to zero and causing zero's speed to break through the speed of sound. Each time he passed a place, there was a burst of sound. Then, the air currents hit the water in the wall and caused some air vibrations. Only after a long time did it calm down.
If nothing unexpected happened, those thick tentacles should belong to the Nerubian Lord. Eva had said that this enormous creature resided in a six-storey underground base. And right now, the 5th level base has become a playground for the descendants of the Nerubian Lords. Clearly, the 5th level base has been remodeled by the Lords, and it is precisely because of this tyrannical existence that the Human-Faced Moths can't leave their nest to change their faces and fight with the Goddess of vengeance for territory.
Now, for some reason, it had angered the Nerubian Lord, causing it to suddenly attack nothing.
In just a few seconds, Zero was already far away from the archive. But then there was a series of explosions behind him, and as he looked back, he saw a few fleshy whiskers poking out of the passage behind him, the nearby testing room, and the ventilation ducts on the ceiling. There were over a thousand points of exertion on each of the tendrils, and they formed the special tissue of the Lord of the Nerubian's muscles. With this instantaneous burst of strength, he used dozens of tons of force to tear any obstacle in front of these tendrils.
All the bones in Zero's body felt like they were splitting. Just now, when he blocked the attack of one of the tentacles, he almost broke his arm bones and ribs. If it wasn't for his body being strengthened by a level 2 defense, an ordinary person's body would have already been shaken to death. Now, however, the strength of the tendrils had increased from one to three, and the impact had tripled. With a strength of at least 30 tons and the addition of the momentum from his sprint, his strength would inevitably only be higher than normal.
An impact of more than 30 tons of force was not something that Zero's body could handle. Zero quickly calculated in his mind. If he were to be hit by this, all his bones and organs would definitely shatter and die!
With a grunt, he sped up his sprint along the vertical wall. However, at this moment, a loud explosion occurred in front of them. A thick line smashed out from the left wall and swept towards the wall that was running at zero speed. It then swept towards the direction of zero. Along the way, countless wiring boards and cables burst out and were swept with a thousand average speed!
