Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Yao saw white smoke rising from a row of enemy battleships hidden in the waves. The Apocalypse had opened fire!
Although the enemy's battleships, with the exception of the last aircraft carrier group, were all destroyers and frigates of the 60s or 70s, the might of the tens of thousands of cannons could not be underestimated. It was different from the movies where a single cannon blast would only create a mud pit. In the real world, even the bombardment of World War II level cannons could still destroy every mountain on Ark Island.
In that instant, time seemed to freeze, and the air turned into something viscous and heavy. The trajectory of each cannonball could be clearly seen.
No, it wasn't Li Yao's imagination. There really was some kind of mysterious force that formed an invisible force field around the periphery of the Ark Island. It actually slowed down and fixed all the squeaking cannonballs in midair!
The closest cannonball was no more than fifty meters away from the island. Everyone could see the rapidly spinning warhead, but it was unable to move even half a step forward.
Li Yao sensed dozens of strong life magnetic fields surging behind him. When he turned around, he saw dozens of Prison Breakers standing in the void with their hands spread out and their mouths chanting. Their expressions were extremely solemn.
Blue veins were bulging on their foreheads, and blood was flowing from their nostrils and mouths. Some of their hair was even turning white at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was obvious that blocking the cannonballs had consumed a lot of their physical and mental strength.
"Heh!"
Under the lead of one of the Prison Breakers, they roared at the same time. With a push of their hands, they actually pushed back the cannonballs that had scattered all over the sky. Following their original trajectory, they returned to the battleship.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Before they returned to the battleship, the cannonballs exploded in midair. In the darkness of the pouring rain, clusters of blood-red lotuses bloomed.
The shore-based firepower of Ark Island also spread out one after another.
They were neither cannons nor missiles. Instead, they were ivory pillars of light or metal bullets surrounded by crackling electric arcs that rushed out as fast as lightning. As long as they hit the enemy's warship, they would often pierce through it from the front to the back and inflict fatal damage. Regardless of whether the target was a fishing boat, a cargo ship, or a warship, they would all collapse and sink into the cold, deep ocean in less than a minute.
Unfortunately, the waves on the sea seemed to be deliberately opposing the Ark Foundation, making it impossible for them to accurately aim. Instead, they exposed the location of their turrets and welcomed wave after wave of concentrated fire.
Although there were many Prison Breakers on the Ark Island, not all of them had mastered telekinesis or the ability to distort force fields. Even those who had awakened their memories seven or eight times could only interfere with the direction of three to five cannonballs. When more cannonballs arrived, they would often vomit blood, their faces pale, and they would fall crookedly to the ground. Even if they could interfere with the cannonballs' landing point, they would not be able to escape the Ark Island's perimeter, let alone return to where they came from. Not long after, scorching fireballs appeared one after another on the Ark Island's beachhead, and the firepower of the counterattack suddenly became sparse.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The war between the Awakened would end in the Awakened's way.
Seeing the enemy approaching, the Prison Breakers behind him also let out a final roar.
"For humanity, for freedom!"
"I would rather never reincarnate than drag out an ignoble existence!"
"We are not fighting alone. In the battlefield of the universe, the magnificent and incomparably glorious ultimate war is also in full swing. Persevere and fight to the end. There is still hope for victory!"
Many Prison Breakers also relied on their superpowers or the weapons that the Ark Foundation provided that surpassed the era to fly into the air and meet the Prison Breakers of the Apocalypse Organization!
When the Awakened on both sides fought in close quarters and collided fiercely in midair, the scene was not much better than a street brawl. In fact, it was even crueler and uglier.
A Prison Breaker had just cut off the head of a Prison Breaker with a lightsaber when another Prison Breaker burned it to charcoal with his superpower. In the next second, the second Prison Breaker planted a 'microbial bomb' that was similar to a voodoo in the second Prison Breaker. His face instantly turned ashen, and his stomach expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye before exploding. His internal organs were blown into pieces.
The Prison Breakers on this side had just released some kind of magical power that resonated with their brainwaves, forming an invisible formation in the air, causing the other party to fall into a state of weakness and stagnation. The few Prison Breakers on the other side instantly burned up their blood essence and sacrificed their lives, turning themselves into living skeletons. They spat out clouds of black mist that looked like swarms of insects from their mouths, breaking the formation on this side. Then, both sides were exhausted and could not resist gravity. They fell from a height of hundreds of meters into the waves and were completely swallowed by the deep sea.
Even the seemingly peaceful deep-sea spirit beasts — the big white fish with colorful fins and the colorful jellyfish — joined the battle under the control of the Prison Breakers. Unfortunately, their combat strength was not as beautiful as they looked. They were quickly crushed by the other party's steel behemoths, turning into turbid traces in the black sea.
The other party's aircraft carrier formation was getting closer and closer to the Ark Island.
In fact, modern warfare paid attention to over-the-horizon strikes. Even Li Yao could see the other party's aircraft carrier with his naked eye. This was far beyond the range of the other party's air strike.
However, it was probably because of the stormy weather, lightning, and thunder that made it difficult for fighter jets and bombers to be deployed. Awakened ones with superpowers were difficult to deal with purely with fighter jets. Therefore, the other party was still advancing unhurriedly, crushing all the way to the beach of the Ark Island.
"Li Yao! Li Yao! "
He suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. It was the Gray Fog Lady!
The Gray Fog Lady's face turned paler than when she encountered the hunters that day. She grabbed Li Yao's wrist and said, "What are you still doing here? Red Pole Star wants you to go there immediately. The situation has changed. He has to activate the 'Super Brainwave Amplification System' in advance. He wants you to form the core of the puzzle with him!"
Li Yao was slightly startled. He looked at the super-large antennas surrounding the island.
The Apocalypse Organization had obviously discovered the peculiarity of these antennas. Many of their cannons were accurately aimed at the antennas. Although the Prison Breakers were desperately guarding them, two of the antenna towers were still hit by the cannons. They melted and tilted in the raging flames, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
Although it was rushed, if he didn't activate it now, he wouldn't have another chance.
"I'll go right away!"
Li Yao's eyes surged with a light that even he didn't notice. He jumped up from the reef and rushed down to the underground command room.
At this moment, the underground command room was a mess.
Because the spatial folds had been smoothed out, the interior of the island seemed to have suffered severe distortions. The originally straight tunnel had become a winding maze. Li Yao crouched down and crawled through the gaps in the darkness. It was not easy for him to reach the command room that was full of screens yesterday.
Fortunately, the photoelectric lines and wireless signals here were very stable. Most of the screens were still flashing with all kinds of images. They showed the battlefield in every corner of the Ark Island and the surrounding sea, as well as the destructive natural disasters that were happening around the world. There was also a series of data and reports.
Li Yao casually glanced around and found that the situation around the world was quite bad. In just a few days, natural disasters, including but not limited to earthquakes, storms, floods, hailstorms, and volcanic eruptions, had become several times more severe. Countless densely populated areas had been razed to the ground by magma. Countless economically developed coastal areas had been reduced to water villages. Cities with tens of millions of people had collapsed in an instant like children's building blocks in an unprecedented super earthquake.
This … was a catastrophe for civilization, an eternal catastrophe!
Watching the magnificent cities collapsing one after another, the beautiful villages being covered in volcanic ash, and the factories and farmlands being swallowed by the flood, Li Yao's heart and fists were both constricted to the limits.
"I don't have time."
Red Pole Star seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. His voice suddenly sounded ten years older. He was lying on the console frantically operating as if he was preparing for the "Super Brainwave Amplification System". When he heard Li Yao's footsteps, he did not turn his head. With his back facing Li Yao, he said, "Even if only 30% of the functions can be activated, we have no other choice. You have to help me!"
"Understood."
Li Yao asked, "How do you want me to help?"
In his heart, he was a little puzzled. Where was Daniel Zhang? Could it be that he had a hangover and could not get up?
This guy really knows how to ruin things!
His eyes swept back and forth between hundreds of screens. Suddenly, his eyes froze.
He saw the fleet of the Apocalypse Organization on dozens of screens.
Right then, an enormous silver balloon rose above almost all the ships, including the aircraft carrier strike group. Ignoring the wind, rain, lightning, and cannon fire, it floated into the air.
Every balloon should be more than five meters in diameter. They were weather balloons designed for aerial reconnaissance or to intercept the enemy's warplanes. Therefore, they were very sturdy. Even though the lightning was raging around them, it could not stop them from flying higher and higher.
The hundred silver balloons floated and bobbed among the clouds and lightning like a hundred silver eyes that stared at Li Yao through the screens.
