Air quakes were the most serious disasters that human beings had ever encountered in space.
To this day, astronomers and psionicists had yet to figure out what exactly an "air quake" was. They could only vaguely give a definition. It was like an earthquake that destroyed an entire city, toppled a mountain, or caused a tsunami. It was just that it was an earthquake that happened in "space."
When air quakes hit, the previously stable three-dimensional space would be riddled with holes and extremely fragile. It could expand, twist, or collapse at any moment.
The sweeping space ripples, on the other hand, spread out in all directions like deadly tides of harvest.
Any life or artificial object that encountered such twisted waves of space would only be obliterated.
It was like the sudden collapse of a splendid palace in the four-dimensional space. The debris and debris turned into torrents of destruction that poured into the three-dimensional universe. It was an unavoidable catastrophe.
The nature of air quakes was somewhat similar to that of four-dimensional storms.
However, four-dimensional storms usually only savaged the four-dimensional space. As long as one was more vigilant during a space jump, there was a high chance that one could survive it in one piece.
Air quakes, on the other hand, came without any sign. Even the most stable space could turn into an extremely twisted hell in the blink of an eye.
If there was any kind of signal, then the alternating red and blue light was perhaps the only sign of an air quake.
From the flashing of the red and blue lights to the real arrival of air quakes, it was often only several seconds!
No wonder the Gold Thread Fish were so panicked. Air quakes were indeed the gods of death that reaped everything. Living, non-living, material, and energy could not escape from their hands.
Through the 3D light beam, Pep could clearly see that behind the large school of Golden Thread Fish, the red and blue light had been twisted into a huge vortex, which seemed to produce a strong gravitational force that swallowed tens of thousands of Golden Thread Fish.
No matter how fast the Golden Threaded Fish fled, it was impossible for them to compete with the swallowing power of the red and blue vortex. This was because the vortex directly swallowed space, tearing apart the entire space where the Golden Threaded Fish were. Even the Golden Threaded Fish were turned into specks of fireflies and extinguished in an instant.
The remaining Gold Thread Fish were even more scared. Their speed of escape was significantly higher than before.
However, the faster they were, the shorter the distance between them and the red and blue swirl was, which gave a very contradictory and weird feeling.
Soon, a large number of Golden Threadfish were swallowed up by the red and blue vortex.
The red and blue vortex also released terrifying tentacles in all directions, sweeping across all the celestial bodies in the entire star field.
The stone belts were cut in half by the red and blue swirls. Very soon, they turned into helical torrents. The meteoroids were accelerating, rubbing, and crashing into each other in the twisted space. Dazzling brilliance was raised one after another, making it look like a burning, swirling river.
The glamorous nebula fell into Air Quake's bloody mouth, too. Patterns and ripples that looked like squirming earthworms were popping up nonstop, as if a living giant had been mired in a swamp and was struggling in vain. Eventually, it was ripped apart into pieces, and the pieces fell into the void between the third dimension and the fourth dimension.
Next, it was the human starships' turn.
"Full speed retreat!"
The commander yelled at the top of his lungs from the flagship.
Before he exclaimed, a lot of starships had already turned around and activated the most dazzling exhaust flames at full speed.
The experienced crew members even canceled the spiritual shield and the force field interference system on their own, because once they were captured by Air Quake, they would be killed even if the spiritual shield of 1000% was activated. They might as well cancel the spiritual shield and devote all their spiritual energy to the engine. Run, run, run as fast as they could!
Even so, they still could not escape from the scourge of the space collapse.
The entire unknown space zone had turned into boiling hot oil, and their starships were like peanuts in the hot oil. They could be enshrouded by the unexpected bubbles at any moment and blown into smithereens.
In some places, space was expanding rapidly. The starships of human beings seemed to have been ripped apart by an invisible hand and stretched into bizarre-looking metal 'noodles'.
In some other places, space was constricting abruptly. The starships were either smashed into garbage as if they had hit an invisible wall, or they were simply constricted. The bodies of the starships that were hundreds of meters long were squeezed into metal lumps dozens of meters in diameter. Naturally, it was not hard to imagine what would happen to the passengers trapped inside.
In some other places, invisible gaps appeared in the space, which looked like extremely thin but extremely tensile metal threads, cutting the passing starships into pieces. Then, they were consumed by the exploding fireballs. The passengers could not have escaped their doom, either.
After only ten minutes, the fleet had lost one-tenth of the starships and the population.
The remaining starships and the passengers on them were also dumbfounded and scared out of their wits before the magnificent power of the universe, like dry leaves on a surging tide and ants on a dry leaf. They did not have the pride of being the wisest of all creatures anymore.
Beep! Beep!
Pep felt that the medical starship that he was on was rolling nonstop as if it had lost control. The artificial gravity field had been completely destroyed, and everything around was floating.
Then, the cabin door that had been closed all the time was automatically opened. Dangerous redness was flashing everywhere on the pathway outside, which meant 'emergency. Abandon ship immediately'. Creak!
Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak!
The low and deep sound of metal twisting came from somewhere, as if a rusty claw was scratching Pep's skull lightly. The girl was so scared that her scalp was numb, and she was scared out of her wits.
The medical starship could fall apart at any moment. She had to find an escape capsule before the starship was completely destroyed.
Explosions, fire, and scorching smoke were everywhere on the pathway. Pep could not go out just like that. The girl retreated to the room and dragged out a first-aid kit from under the bed. She opened it, and there was a glittering silver vacuum suit inside.
She put on the protective suit in a hurry and adjusted the power spurts. She was about to leave when Pep's eyes suddenly froze.
The 3D light beam in the room was miraculously functioning normally, showing her the situation around the medical starship.
Pep saw a very familiar crimson tentacle.
It was Shanuya.
Shanuya had swam over with all its strength and opened its tentacles, blocking the space tide and the human fleet!
This Void Hunter still did not know that the humans had deliberately come here to kill it.
It was faithfully carrying out the mission that human beings had instilled in it when it was born, which was to resist the dangers in the universe and protect the lives and property of human beings as much as possible.
