Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 986: Final Action 2


The sandstorm engulfed the entire horizon... The apocalyptic wasteland lay eerily desolate. A sand worm of unknown length burst through the soil, baring its serrated maw at the crowd before collapsing onto the ground, motionless as if defeated by the bizarre erosion even with its massive size.

The scene shocked the plump man into a cold sweat, almost sprinting to catch up with the group walking ahead, "Hey hey, don't walk so fast, wait for me, wait for me, ahhhh..."

Blade Warrior sighed deeply, so deeply even the air seemed speechless, and somehow, a huge exclamation mark appeared in the void.

Ah, how did Feng Yi manage to raise such a coward? I cherish my life too, but even I'm not that cowardly, especially when accompanied by several BOSS-level characters. Even a sand worm can't really harm us.

Mengdie and Iman both looked back simultaneously, blinking their expressive eyes at Zhang Xiaobo, clearly surprised but without showing further reaction.

Sky Shadow scoffed, his steps unslowing, declaring, "Your presence here is just an additional burden."

Damn, this guy actually dared to call himself a burden, Zhang Xiaobo stared with furious eyes as anger flared in his heart... Then a sly smile crept across his face, as it's said, a wise man submits to circumstances. A hero does not suffer immediate losses, and since he couldn't beat this man, he must remain polite.

"Here it comes."

Kexiao uttered softly, his calm eyes showing no ripple of emotion.

Just after Kexiao's words, the detector in Blade Warrior's hand started emitting a series of rapid alarms...

"It shouldn't be, that thing is still 20 kilometers away from us, hasn't even covered half the distance, how could it approach so fast?"

Kexiao explained to Blade Warrior that he had just sensed the fluctuations of the bizarre magnetic field, meaning during everyone's movement, the 'Bizarre' itself was also moving, possibly sensing the presence of the group, thus continuously closing in on their location.

Ahead, the horizon buried by windsand glowed a dull yellow, the visibility was low, barely showing the Bizarre, but this didn't escape Kexiao's acute senses, indirectly boosting the team's morale.

However, everyone's mood was far from light, rather heavy, as no one knew what the 'Bizarre' was, nor what would happen upon encountering it, unpredictable situations could arise, so they could only grope their way forward…

Furthermore, what caused even greater anxiety was that the team was about to face it amidst the possibility of destruction or being destroyed. The 'Bizarre' had even begun mimicking human walking behaviors, if it could also grow in intelligence, the consequences would be dreadful.

Suddenly, everyone's steps halted instantly as a black materialized object suddenly appeared before them, unlike the information Roland provided at the beginning. This shadow had grown to about one meter sixty in height, and through magnetic field index analysis, the magnetic field it emitted was much stronger than what was recorded in Roland's data.

Could it be, in this period, the growth rate of the Bizarre had far exceeded everyone's estimates?

"I can sense multiple baleful energies on it."

Kexiao's voice remained calm, but others couldn't stay as composed, Zhang Xiaobo stuttered, "Mul—multiple baleful, old pal, what do you mean by that?"

"It has killed many people."

"Ah? I don't understand what you're saying."

"Fool, don't you get it?" Blade Warrior was getting impatient and stuttered in his explanation - each person's magnetic field is unique, and the 'Bizarre' exhibiting countless people's magnetic fields suggests it has likely absorbed many lives from this very planet, those filled with resentful spirits not willing to give up easily. Though normal people may not sense it, for those with acute spiritual powers, it's easier to detect, hence the Bizarre isn't just growing but strengthening itself by absorbing other's resentful magnetic fields, the thought made his scalp tighten uncontrollably.

As an intelligent being, Iman was quite tense, however, Yita's expression did not betray any fluctuations, showing Yita is not so fearful of death.

Damn it, what the hell is this thing? Even in protective suits, Zhang Xiaobo could feel the intense heat hitting his face, no, perhaps describing it as an unknown magnetic field would be more apt, "What do we do now?"

Right after Zhang Xiaobo spoke, Kexiao signaled for silence; he, along with Sky Shadow and Mengdie, seemed to sense something in the midst, perhaps observing something, while the remaining four were cluelessly puzzled.

Under such tense circumstances, Zhang Xiaobo's forehead sweated profusely. Seeing Kexiao's gesture for silence, he forcefully suppressed the trembling of his body from inner fear... This involuntary bodily response made him feel inexplicably frightened, as if fear had struck without reason.

As a soldier, although Zhang Xiaobo feared death, he had seen many battles over the years and wouldn't normally react this way facing death, it was unreasonable.

"Don't overthink."

Snap!

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaobo felt his shoulder lightly tapped by Kexiao, instantly alleviating the terrifying pressure, and the inexplicable fear in his heart vanished in an instant.

Zhang Xiaobo wasn't foolish, he immediately realized that his earlier state wasn't out of true fear of death, but rather due to the 'Bizarre's distinct aura interfering, as for Yita, Blade Warrior, and Iman, the other three people, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why they didn't have the same reaction. Being naturally timid as a soldier was one thing, but facing life and death on countless battlefields, he should have been able to remain composed, it was illogical to have reacted so singularly frightened like that.
