"Hum —!"
A low growl erupted from the ground.
This sound was imbued with an indescribable sense of destruction. It sounded like the roar of some kind of wild beast, but it also sounded like the shattering of tectonic plates during an earthquake!
At the same time, the ground beneath everyone's feet began to shake. As the entire farm shook, it was as if something huge was struggling underground, trying to break free from its cage and burst out of the ground!
"Run, run, run!"
Alex yelled at the top of his lungs. He was the first to flee toward the outskirts of the farm. The others followed closely behind him. After running for several dozen meters, they heard the rumbling of something breaking through the surface of the ground behind them!
Everyone instinctively turned around to look. However, it was this single glance that sent a shiver down their spines!
Crack, crack, crack …
It was as if the entire farm was shaking violently, swaying left and right. From time to time, pieces of gravel would be tossed into the air before crashing into the ground with a dull thud!
"Ugh …"
Suddenly, a blood-red tentacle shot up into the sky like a long snake wriggling in the night wind. Then, a second tentacle, a third tentacle!
"Something's coming out!"
Alex shrieked in horror. While they were running for their lives, they could feel a strong, pungent odor coming from behind them. This odor was none other than the sulfuric odor that they had smelled back at the Northern American Regional Headquarters!
"Boom!"
Just as everyone was running for their lives, a gigantic tentacle suddenly shot out from behind them and lashed at them like a long, twisted whip. The one closest to the tentacle was Walter, the youngest member of the group!
"Walter!"
Alex's heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, he waved his arm and a surge of psionic power surged toward Walter. In an instant, his psionic power collided with the gigantic tentacle in the air!
"Boom!"
Alex felt a jolt in his heart. He could sense a similar psionic power. However, compared to the psionic power he possessed, his opponent's psionic power was as vast as a mountain. His attempts to block it were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
"Splat!"
Before Wouter could even react to what had happened, the gigantic tentacle smashed down from the sky and smashed Wouter into a puddle of blood mist!
Blood sprayed out instantly, splattering all over everyone's bodies. However, no one had the time to show a sorrowful expression. They just ran away without looking back, trying to escape the attack range of these tentacles.
However, those tentacles continued to stretch out from the ground. Ten, twenty, thirty …
When he looked closely, he saw that those blood-red tentacles were actually huge tentacles! These tentacles varied in size. The largest one was actually a shocking hundred meters long, and the thinnest one was several meters in diameter. It was like a prehistoric dragon!
In an instant, the place had turned into a blood-colored forest formed by countless blood-colored tentacles!
Boom!
Another tentacle rose from the ground, but as luck would have it, it blocked everyone's path of escape. A look of despair surfaced in Alex's eyes. He understood that his psionic powers were far too insignificant compared to his opponent's, and there was no way he could escape.
"Hu!"
One tentacle after another curled up and came crashing down on everyone. Alex had no choice but to close his eyes and silently await the arrival of death.
However, the expected death did not come. Suddenly, there was a sizzling sound next to him. At the same time, drops of ice-cold liquid dripped down as if something had melted...
Alex was a little puzzled. He opened his eyes again and saw that the gigantic tentacles were twisting and retracting into the ground. The skin of the tentacles continued to melt, and in the blink of an eye, before they could even retract into the ground, they had completely turned into puddles of bright red liquid...
"Did someone save us?"
Alex looked around blankly. Then, his pupils shrank. This was because he saw a figure standing in the night sky!
Alex was dumbfounded. In his eyes, a slender young man with a cold expression was standing in the air. His gaze seemed to contain an invisible power. With just a glance, all the tentacles within his line of sight melted away and turned into puddles of bright red liquid!
"This person looks familiar. Which Alpha-level psionicist is he?"
Suddenly, Alex seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed and he exclaimed in joy, "It's Sir Commander, Sir Commander is here to save us, we're saved!"
Everyone turned to the sky when they heard this and saw the figure in the night sky. It was late at night and only a crescent moon hung in the night sky. The mysterious man had his hands clasped behind his back and looked at the ground below him as if he was watching a farce. A gust of night wind blew and the man's sleeves fluttered in the wind. He looked like a gentleman!
...
"Finally, we're out."
Chen Chen hovered in the air. His vast Field swept across the entire farm like an ultrasonic wave. He could sense that the subspace energy in this area had suddenly skyrocketed and was gushing out of the ground like a geyser!
Therefore, Chen Chen made his move.
Over the years, even Chen Chen did not know how powerful his power had become. With just a glance, all the tentacles within the range of his psionic power rapidly melted away!
This was the dissolution of life essence. The source of power came from the precision of Chen Chen's Field energy that penetrated deep into the molecular structure. Under his power, all the tentacles were instantly destroyed at the cellular level, which was why they seemed to melt away. This was the reason why the cytoplasm inside flowed out after the cells were destroyed!
"The subspace energy, I was right..."
However, even though everything in front of him was easily destroyed, Chen Chen did not relax at all. He still lowered his head and silently sensed the energy seeping out of the ground. The sulfuric smell was so strong that it even approached the depths of the subspace!
"Why aren't you guys leaving yet?"
Chen Chen glanced at the several task force members he had saved. These people seemed to wake up from a dream and fled further away.
After they had fled far away, Chen Chen finally stopped hesitating. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly, an invisible force burst out!
It was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded. In an instant, a shockwave spread out in a fan shape. There was no fire, no explosion, only a visible airwave whizzing out. Even the air was distorted into the shape of waves!
In the next second, the shock wave hit the ground with overwhelming force. Suddenly, a piece of land of tens of thousands of square meters under Chen Chen's feet was thrown in all directions!
"Rumble!!!"
At this point, countless muffled thunderous sounds rolled in all directions, carrying with it gravel and soil from the sky like a natural disaster!
Endless smoke and dust rose, but these smoke and dust were dispersed in the next moment by an invisible force, revealing a huge pit with a diameter of more than 100 meters and a depth of 40 to 50 meters under Chen Chen's feet!
With just one blow, Chen Chen penetrated the surface and exposed the Northern American headquarters!
However, to Chen Chen's surprise, what he saw in front of him was not the giant octopus monster he expected, but a huge cave built of endless flesh and blood!
This cave was in the shape of a funnel, sunken into the depths of the space, directly distorting reality!
From Chen Chen's perspective, he could only see the depths of the sunken space, which was full of endless flesh and organs. These organs were constantly wriggling as if they were still alive, and the huge tentacles stretched out from the end of the cave!
In that cave, Chen Chen felt a throbbing from the depths of his soul.
That was the subspace!
Chen Chen completely understood. Obviously, this Northern American headquarters had unknowingly become a bridge connecting reality and the subspace!
As Chen Chen saw the existence of the subspace, at the same time, a dangerous aura also followed. Chen Chen's Field energy once again attacked the hole, but when it touched the entrance of the hole, his Field energy could not continue to explore no matter how hard he tried.
It was as if he had hit an indestructible wall, or rather, Chen Chen's Field energy could not touch the existence of the subspace at all, let alone destroy the connecting passage.
Even so, Chen Chen was not surprised. He directly converted his psionic power into his ability and began to spread in his body, then immediately burst out again!
"Boom!"
The psionic power instantly broke through the obstacles and rushed into the passage. At the same time, pieces of flesh and blood in the passage were instantly melted and destroyed, bursting into a series of bloody mists!
"Roar!"
There was a furious roar from the depths of the subspace, but it was too late. After Chen Chen destroyed the cave wall, the subspace passage that spanned across space began to quickly close up!
In just a few seconds, the invisible subspace passage was completely closed, leaving only a residual sulfuric smell...
"No, it's not over yet..."
Chen Chen closed his eyes slightly and used his psionic power to scan the entire base under his feet. However, Chen Chen still sensed several small octopus monsters there. These monsters were formless and invisible to the naked eye. Only psionic power could make contact with them.
Seeing this, Chen Chen squashed the remaining small octopus monsters like they were ants. After that, he stretched out his hand again, and then a black slate appeared in the palm of his hand out of thin air!
"Hiss!"
An invisible wave spread in all directions, instantly dispelling the remaining subspace aura and returning the world to its original state.
After doing all this, Chen Chen looked at his feet thoughtfully, then flew toward the direction of Detroit at a speed several times the speed of sound...
Half an hour later, Chen Chen saw several wandering psionicists in the vicinity of the orphanage.
However, these people were all surrounded by the subspace aura. When Chen Chen probed with his psionic power, he found that their internal organs had long been removed. In their place, there was a subspace octopus curled up in their stomachs.
"Pfft!"
In the next second, the bodies of all the psionicists exploded out of thin air, along with the monsters in their bodies, vanishing from this world.
Using the range of his psionic power, Chen Chen spent more than an hour exploring the general area of the city. Here, he found several psionicists with subspace monsters residing in their bodies. There were obviously fishes that had escaped the net.
By the time the abnormalities in the city were cleared, the sky was gradually turning bright and a new sun was slowly rising.
After doing all this, Chen Chen turned around again and flew toward the direction of the desert...
After a busy night, Chen Chen's final destination was a secret base in the depths of the desert in Northern America. The initiator of this incident, the psionicist boy who could connect to the subspace in his sleep, was there.
However, on Chen Chen's way there, Little X sent him a message.
"Sir Godfather, the desert base has completely fallen."
Little X's voice was a little cold. "01 has sent news that they've lost contact with the base. It's obvious that the base is similar to the Blacklight Foundation's Northern American headquarters, a passage to the subspace has been opened there."
"It's okay, I'll take care of it."
Chen Chen's expression was devoid of emotion. At his current level, the loss of hundreds or thousands of people was just a number. Chen Chen did not need to be responsible for the lives of individual people, he needed to be responsible for the entire human civilization.
"It turns out that we've all guessed wrong."
Little X could not help but sigh. "It turns out that the psionicist boy's ability isn't to transform the monsters in the dream into reality, but to connect to the subspace passage."
"I've had this speculation before, but I haven't confirmed it yet."
Chen Chen nodded. "Now it seems that I came at the right time. According to the current information, the subspace creatures that can come to reality using the psionicist boy as a node should be the octopus-like monsters that hide in the stomachs of psionicists."
"These guys are nothing much, but they're invisible and intangible. Neither the naked eye nor surveillance can detect them."
Chen Chen frowned. "And the real hidden danger is that they can collect human organs and build a spatial passage that can connect reality and the subspace, thus allowing more subspace creatures to come to reality."
The reason Chen Chen said this was because the monsters were only found in the bodies of psionicists. It was obvious that they could survive by absorbing the psionic energy of psionicists. Since ordinary people were unable to help these subspace monsters survive, they were all turned into materials for the construction of the tunnel.
This was the reason why hundreds of ordinary people died every night.
"That should be it."
Little X replied, "The first human who was parasitized by the subspace octopus should be the psionicist detective named Sean. Until his death, he didn't even realize that his stomach had been emptied by the monster and all that was left of him was his ugly skin. Yet, he was still alive and even able to maintain his consciousness."
"This is the scary thing about these monsters. They're completely integrated into human society and not even their host can detect them."
Chen Chen pondered. "It's only in the middle of the night that these monsters appear and persistently collect human organs to build a bridge for the main force to invade..."
As the two of them conversed, Chen Chen finally arrived at his destination — a secret military base in the desert.
At this time, the base had been razed to the ground. A subspace passage far larger than the previous one spanned across the sky above the military base. At this time, a nightmarish giant octopus monster with a diameter of more than a hundred meters was moving out of the passage...
When the monster saw Chen Chen's arrival, it suddenly let out a deafening roar!
In an instant, the sky was filled with sand and the endless smell of sulfur spread in all directions...
