191: Chapter 191 Level 3 Map - Meteorite Wasteland

The moment the light swallowed them, the entire Sea-Air Composite Fortress began to sink.

The spatial tunnel was bent by the Tier 6 main cannon.

On the roof of the Ghost Fortress, Chen Chen held the sea-stabilizing needle with one hand, while his other hand pressed onto the master control console of the void sea-suppressing anchor chain.

A blue-gold beam of light lay horizontally above, forcibly resisting the grayish-white destructive beam.

Below, the three-colored Teleportation Array had already torn open a passage.

But the city was too large.

The Ghost Fortress, the Sea Scale, the Floating City, over a hundred thousand people, hundreds of vehicles, and resources filling the warehouses were all forcibly dragged into the same cross-boundary rift.

Mio's scream exploded across all channels.

"Shields dropped to 42%!"

"Spatial tunnel is unstable!"

"The outer shell of the left dock has been torn open by turbulence! I told you not to dismantle the outer armor! But you insisted on doing it!"

Jiang Jiuyou sat at the secondary command console, sweat sliding down her jaw from her forehead, her fingers never stopping as they pressed against the fire control panel.

"Shut up, report valid data."

Mio was so angry that her projection flickered wildly.

"The valid data is that in another minute and a half, your ship, my ship, his city, and that bunch of wailing wretches in the hold will all be turned into mincemeat!"

Inside the hold, over a hundred thousand people were locked into partitions by safety cables.

Those who had just experienced the riot didn't even dare to scream loudly.

Iron Wall stood at the entrance of the passage holding a megaphone, with two heavy machine guns mounted steadily behind him.

"Hold on tight!"

"Whoever unlocks their safety buckle can roll out and kiss the void fragments themselves!"

A convict, shaken until his face was pressed against the floor, cried out: "I was wrong! I shouldn't have caused trouble! I want to go back to the Level 2 map!"

Iron Wall stepped on his shoulder.

"Too late! The Lord is moving, and you still want to pick your room type?"

In the first-level carriage, Shen Wanxing was huddled entirely inside a blanket, only exposing a pair of dazzlingly white calves, her toes curling in tension.

"Sister... are we going to die?"

Shen Wanbing steadied herself by holding onto the console, her face still somewhat pale, her long black curly hair messy on her shoulders, wearing a coat over her white shirt, without even having time to button it up properly.

She braced herself and looked at the panel.

"We won't."

Shen Wanxing's voice trembled: "Every time you say that, things get even scarier afterward."

Su Xiaoqi was hugging half a royal limb, with a small piece of meat in her mouth, speaking indistinctly.

"It's fine, Big Brother is holding things down outside."

Blood Rose leaned against the side of the sofa, her red camisole strap slipping down from the vibration; she pulled it back up casually and looked up toward the roof of the vehicle.

"If he can't hold it, it's useless for us to scream now."

Shen Wanxing felt even more aggrieved.

"Can you not be so realistic when comforting people?"

Boom!

The Tier 6 beam pursued them into the spatial tunnel.

The grayish-white energy slammed into the tunnel walls, blasting apart hundreds of spatial fragments.

Those fragments scraped across the A-grade shield like blades.

Mio's voice cracked.

"Shields at 37%!"

"34%!"

"31%!"

"It's tailgating us! It really chased us in! Is this Tier 6 piece of scrap metal crazy?"

Chen Chen stood on the roof, the muscles in his arms bulging, and the anchor chain control console under his palms emitted a harsh metallic sound.

The void sea-suppressing anchor chain was completely taut.

The twelve dark silver locking rings were nailed to the edge of the tunnel, but they were pulled off course by the turbulence.

The entire city began to tilt horizontally.

The connection point between the Sea Scale hull and the Floating City emitted a loud explosive sound.

Mio screamed in a breakdown: "The course is off! Another five degrees, and we'll crash into a spatial fault!"

Jiang Jiuyou immediately cut into Chen Chen's channel.

"Chen Chen, the anchor chain is unstable. I can detonate the starboard thrusters to correct it, but we will lose one-third of the dock structure."

"No need."

Chen Chen lowered his head and gripped both sides of the control console.

Qi and blood surged beneath his skin, and the strength brought by his 217 points of constitution was fully pressed into the mechanical arms.

"Get back here."

Crack!

Cracks were pressed into the edge of the master control console by his fingers.

The twelve anchor chains suddenly tightened.

The deviating city was forcibly pulled back into alignment by him.

Mio's projection froze in the main control room.

"He... he is pulling the entire city by hand?"

Shen Wanbing watched the data jump, her voice tight.

"Not just the entire city, it's the city, the Sea Scale, the Ghost Fortress, and over a hundred thousand people."

Blood Rose laughed softly.

"This man is truly outrageous."

Shen Wanxing poked her head out from the blanket, her light amber eyes still filled with moisture.

"Will his hands hurt?"

Su Xiaoqi held up the piece of meat and nodded seriously.

"If Big Brother's hands hurt, I'll blow on them for him."

Jiang Jiuyou didn't interrupt.

She stared at the pursuing beam behind them and suddenly realized that the Tier 6 main cannon shot was not a complete entity.

It was projected in through the spatial barrier and had to rely on the grayish-white nodes within the tunnel to refract in order to continuously lock onto them.

"Chen Chen."

"There's a chance."

Chen Chen, still pressing on the anchor chain, transmitted his voice back through the channel.

"Speak."

Jiang Jiuyou's fingers quickly marked twelve grayish-white bright spots.

"The pursuing beam relies on these nodes to calibrate."

"Normal shots can't hit it; the tunnel refraction is too chaotic."

"But if we use spatial fragments for secondary deflection, the Sea Scale's secondary cannons can fire blindly."

Mio immediately bristled.

"Are you crazy?"

"Firing secondary cannons inside a spatial tunnel? If it deviates even a little, it'll shoot our own butts!"

Jiang Jiuyou kept a cold face.

"That's why you calculate the refraction angle."

"I won't calculate it! This isn't tactics, this is gambling!"

Chen Chen let go with one hand and looked up.

"Mio."

"Calculate."

Mio paused for half a second.

"You guys will eventually force me into becoming a real ghost."

Shen Wanbing had already taken over half of the parameters.

"I'll assist you."

"Jiang Jiuyou, first round, hit the left-rear number three node."

Jiang Jiuyou didn't hesitate at all.

"Secondary cannon array, low-power pulse."

"Refractive blind fire."

"Fire."

The thirty-six secondary cannons on the port side of the Sea Scale lit up simultaneously.

The blue-white pulses didn't shoot directly toward the rear, but instead struck a rotating spatial fragment on the side of the tunnel.

Mio screamed.

"Deflection point is 0.7 seconds early!"

Jiang Jiuyou's fingers pressed down hard.

The pulse hit the fragment and deflected toward the rear.

Boom!

The first energy node of the grayish-white pursuing beam exploded.

The entire beam shuddered.

People in the hold felt the pressure ease, and immediately someone cried out: "It's stable! It's stable!"

Iron Wall turned his head and cursed: "Stable my ass! This is only the first shot!"

Jiang Jiuyou was already in the zone.

"Second round, bottom-right number seven."

Mio gritted her teeth.

"Deflection angle 21.3! Don't add more! If you add more, you'll blast your mistress's wine cellar!"

The mistress screamed from the first-floor shop channel.

"Whoever dares to blast my wine cellar, I'll fight them to the death!"

Su Xiaoqi immediately hugged the meat in her arms.

"The meat storage can't be blown up!"

Blood Rose rubbed her temples.

"We're about to be hunted down by a Tier 6, and you guys are still concerned with such mundane things."

The second round of secondary cannons fired.

Another grayish-white node exploded.

The pursuing beam began to lose stability, its tail end constantly shattering.

A grayish-white mechanical voice came intermittently from behind.

"Lowly holder..."

"Stop escaping..."

"Hand over..."

Chen Chen raised his hand and pressed the sea-stabilizing needle backward.

"Jiang Jiuyou, fire all the rest."

Jiang Jiuyou had a fierce look in her eyes.

"All secondary cannons, triple volley."

Mio screamed until her voice went hoarse.

"I'll calculate! I'll calculate, okay!"

"Top-left, directly behind, bottom-right! Don't miss! If you miss, we all become fireworks together!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The blue-white nuclear pulses refracted continuously within the spatial tunnel.

When the sixth node shattered, the Tier 6 main cannon's lock was completely broken.

The tail end of the grayish-white beam exploded into a large stream of fragments, which were swallowed by the tunnel turbulence.

Mio slumped onto the main control projection.

"Did we survive?"

The next second, the shield value jumped down again.

[Shield Energy: 29%.]

Mio sprang up on the spot.

"We didn't survive! The tunnel exit is almost here! There's a barrier blocking the front!"

Shen Wanbing looked up.

"The ecological suppression at the boundary of the Level 3 map is forming."

"Gravity, energy density, and spatial hierarchy are all higher than the Level 2 map."

"Charging through will cause hull tearing."

Jiang Jiuyou glanced at the remaining energy of the Teleportation Array.

"No time to buffer."

Chen Chen retracted the sea-stabilizing needle and pressed his hands back onto the anchor chain console.

"Ram through it."

Mio: "Ram again?"

Chen Chen: "Do you have an easier way?"

Mio fell silent for a second.

"No."

Chen Chen looked up at the white barrier at the end of the tunnel.

"Everyone secure yourselves."

"Whoever doesn't fasten their safety buckle, if you die from the fall, that's your own bad luck."

Iron Wall roared even louder over the hold's broadcast.

"Did you hear me! Fasten them tight!"

A child cried out: "Uncle, I can't buckle it!"

The man next to him, who had just been sentenced to hard labor, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and helped him buckle it.

Iron Wall glanced at him but didn't open fire.

"I suppose you still have a shred of humanity."

Three seconds later.

The nose of the Ghost Fortress rammed into the barrier.

The main hull of the Sea Scale pressed on.

The Floating City followed as a whole.

Boom—

The tunnel shattered.

The entire Sea-Air Composite Fortress rushed out of the cross-boundary rift.

The external gravity instantly tripled.

Countless people were pressed down to the floor.

In the first-level carriage, Shen Wanxing slid directly off the sofa, her blanket covering her head.

"Wuu... I hate this place!"

Su Xiaoqi had been standing, but the alloy floor under her feet cracked and buckled.

"Big Brother, I broke the floor again..."

Mio's projection looked up at the external scan, her voice suddenly dropping.

"Level 3 map."

"Meteor Wasteland World."
