67: Chapter 67 A Powerful Incursion

"Clatter, clatter!"

Two full tons of high-strength titanium steel plates, thick load-bearing rebar, and countless gear bearings—highly valued as premium strategic currency in the Underground City's black market...

Like a silver-gray steel waterfall, they poured out from the supply carriage.

They piled up steadily on the cliff clearing behind Ye Qingyu, forming a small mountain that radiated a cold metallic luster.

"S-rank Talent—[Mechanical Resonance]!"

"Rise for me!"

Ye Qingyu gave a soft shout, her fair and delicate hands slamming onto a thick, broken main load-bearing steel beam.

In an instant.

A strange, visible silver halo, rippling like water, surged wildly from her palms!

This surge of supernatural energy, representing the pinnacle of human industrial civilization, instantly enveloped the two-ton steel mountain behind her.

Under the unbelievable gazes of the hundreds of thousands of mutant beasts nearby and the group of jaw-dropping Train Masters behind...

A shocking scene, like a miracle descending, unfolded incredibly under the Scarlet Blood Moon!

Those titanium steel plates and thick rebar, originally lifeless and inert...

Under the absolute law of [Mechanical Resonance], they seemed to be suddenly endowed with independent mechanical life!

They emitted a series of tooth-aching yet incredibly melodious sounds of metal twisting and reorganizing.

Each load-bearing rebar, over ten meters long, automatically ejected from the steel mountain like flexible metal tentacles.

They precisely interlocked, interspersed, and welded together in mid-air.

At a terrifying speed that completely defied conventional physics, they extended frantically toward the three-hundred-meter-long abyss!

Meanwhile, the heavy titanium steel plates, under the pressure of an invisible force, automatically folded into standard sections of train tracks.

They perfectly fitted onto the newly constructed load-bearing steel frames!

"My god... Is this the legendary Void Creation?"

"That little girl who looks underage is actually a top-tier Mechanic with a God-rank construction talent?!"

"Laying five meters of track in three seconds! This speed is ten times more insane than the automated track-layers of the Old Era!"

In the regional chat channel, the top-tier Train Masters trapped behind were so shocked that their hands were shaking violently as they typed.

They originally thought it was ridiculous enough that Su Chen's train could pass through the beast tide.

But now.

When they saw a delicate, cute Mechanic girl building tracks out of thin air over a bottomless abyss right under the noses of tens of thousands of monsters...

These big shots, who usually considered themselves regional overlords, finally understood the true meaning of a dimensional crush!

However.

This world-shaking mechanical repair drama would not end so easily.

"Skreeeee—!!!"

An extremely piercing, terrifying shriek that seemed to tear through the human soul suddenly rolled down from the main bridge pier ten thousand meters high!

That [silver grade-peak BOSS: Blood-Winged Demon Bat] that had been hanging upside down at the highest point.

In its massive, searchlight-like crimson vertical pupils, the fire of extreme rage from being provoked by ants finally ignited!

In its pitifully small brain, this Bridge of Sighs, which it had torn apart, was its absolute feeding territory on this night of the blood moon.

And now, a few laughable human bugs were actually trying to reconnect the gap that prevented their food from escaping right under its nose!

This was the most unforgivable desecration of a silver grade-peak overlord!

Along with that terrifying roar.

The mountain-sized Blood-Winged Demon Bat gave its massive hundred-meter-long fleshy wings a violent flap.

A violent hurricane, mixed with a thick smell of blood and dark red poisonous mist, instantly swept across the space above the entire bridge.

Immediately after.

Beneath its massive fleshy wings, countless mutant vampire bats, the size of adult eagles, which had been hanging from the bridge's steel cables...

Like a black cloud blotting out the sun, accompanied by a scalp-numbing sound of flapping wings.

They dove down like meteors toward Ye Qingyu, who was focused on the repairs at the edge of the cliff!

Thousands of vampire bats gathered together, their dense, sharp fangs and foul-smelling saliva glistening.

Even if it were an armored vehicle, it would be gnawed into a pile of riddled scrap metal in an instant!

And on the bridge deck below the cliff, the ground mutant beasts that were still crowding and roaring...

Also seemed to have received some sort of commander-level order.

Dozens of massive mutant berserk bears, covered in sharp bone spikes.

Roared as they knocked aside the low-level monsters in their way, taking heavy steps and launching a death charge toward Ye Qingyu!

No way up to heaven, no door down to earth!

This was a complete three-dimensional, 360-degree dead-end execution targeting the genius Mechanic girl!

"It's over! That silver grade-peak BOSS has launched a general offensive!"

"No matter how monstrous a Mechanic is, there's absolutely no way they can survive three seconds under such an overwhelming attack!"

The Train Masters behind let out sighs of despair; some even closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight of the beautiful girl being torn to pieces.

However.

At this critical moment, when everyone thought Ye Qingyu was certain to die.

Two voices, as beautiful as heavenly music yet filled with endless killing intent, exploded simultaneously on the abyss roarer's defensive line!

"You want to touch my Train Master's most precious Mechanic?"

"Have you asked the ice and snow in my hands?!"

Chu Qingxue's originally cold and ethereal face was now covered in an unprecedented, piercing frost.

Wearing her translucent silk nightgown, she had somehow already stood steadily on the bulletproof glass roof of the train's second-floor panoramic living area.

Those clear, distinct eyes had now completely turned into a deep, pure ice blue.

"S-rank Talent Advancement—[Extreme Cold Storm · Winter's Wrath]!"

Chu Qingxue thrust her hands toward the sky, and a massive amount of terrifying extreme cold element, enough to drop the surrounding air to absolute zero instantly, surged out from her delicate body like a volcanic eruption!

"Wooo—!"

Accompanied by the deafening howl of a gale.

Less than twenty meters above Ye Qingyu's head.

A massive ice and snow tornado, over ten meters in diameter and composed entirely of countless sharp ice blades and bone-chilling cold air, rose from the ground without warning!

The swarm of vampire bats, with their bloody maws wide open and diving down frantically.

The moment they crashed into this extreme cold tornado.

They didn't even have time to let out a single scream!

Their hard bodies, strengthened by the blood moon, and their proud fleshy wings.

In the face of this absolute zero that could instantly freeze even steel until it became brittle, they were as fragile as paper!

"Crack, crack, crack!"

A series of tooth-aching, dense freezing sounds rang out frantically in mid-air.

Hundreds of vampire bats diving at the very front were instantly frozen into lifelike, crystalline ice sculptures within half a second of contacting the extreme cold storm!

Then.

Under the violent tearing force of the tornado.

These ice sculptures fell like raindrops, slamming hard onto the bridge deck and shattering into a ground full of foul-smelling frozen minced meat!

And this was just the tip of the iceberg of this magnificent symphony of slaughter.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The bats that were lucky enough not to be frozen immediately changed their tactics.

They hovered at the edge of the extreme cold storm, opening their fanged mouths to emit visible rings of high-frequency ultrasonic shockwaves toward Ye Qingyu below!

These ultrasonic waves could directly ignore physical armor and shatter human internal organs and cerebral blood vessels from the inside!

"Hmph, a singing contest? You ugly monsters are far from it!"

Lin Momo, standing beside Chu Qingxue, had a wild excitement flashing on her soft and cute face that was completely out of character.

She pulled out a special pink microphone from somewhere and took a deep breath.

"A-rank Talent Advancement—[Vitality Notes · Overclocked Sonic Array]!"

Lin Momo's sweet voice, capable of charming thousands of young men, instantly transformed into a visible pink soundwave barrier under the enhancement of her talent!

This seemingly weak pink barrier, like a massive hemispherical inverted golden bell, firmly protected Ye Qingyu, who was focused on welding the tracks.

"Buzz, buzz!"

Those ultrasonic waves that could even shatter steel, the moment they hit this pink barrier.

It was like a clay ox entering the sea; not only did they fail to cause any substantial damage, but they were also canceled out and neutralized by the two opposing high-frequency sound waves.

It even generated a powerful reaction force, causing the dozen or so closest bats in mid-air to bleed from their seven orifices and die on the spot!

The threat from the sky was perfectly neutralized by these two stunning mages.

And on the ground defense line, a slaughter of flesh and blood that could be called the pinnacle of violent aesthetics was also unfolding!

"Sisters, the Train Master said that before Qingyu finishes repairing the bridge, not even a single fly is allowed to pass!"

"For our perfume and silk stocking rewards tonight, kill!"
