Bai Fei slowly woke up from a coma, and what she saw was a dense darkness. Her whole body ached, and the strong smell of blood in her mouth stimulated her brain, making her want to vomit everything in her stomach. But she couldn't do it. Her current posture was lying on her back, and this body was so heavy that it seemed that it didn't belong to her, and there was no strength in her limbs.
Fortunately, at least her consciousness was awake, and she could clearly feel that her body had already begun to repair itself spontaneously. This is a good sign. The powerful vitality of the dragon-level ability user is reflected at this moment. The healthy cells in her body are rapidly dividing, growing, maturing and dividing again, and they will not stop until Bai Fei is completely healed.
The environment here was almost completely lonely, and the gentle breathing sounds that were originally difficult to hear became particularly prominent in such an occasion. Bai Fei could even hear two breathing sounds present. This meant that besides herself, there was another person existing in this darkness, and not far from her.
"Is it Benita, or is it Diego? What happened before I passed out? Well... it seems like..." Bai Fei tried to remember, and she succeeded.
The operation to recover the Manila No. 5 well failed. Everything was normal in the early stage. According to the plan, under the influence of Bai Fei's "reverse scale" power, this channel connecting the earth and alien stars will gradually disappear and turn into a strange symbol that will remain on Bai Fei's skin. Like Well No. 2 in Shanghai, Well No. 5 will cease to exist once the recovery is successful.
The word "reverse scale" does not mean "a dragon with reverse scales will die if touched", but it needs to be interpreted separately: disintegrating channels and closing off the communication of alien creatures is "reverse"; turning a well into a seal, and the strange seal inhabiting the skin is like "scale" ", together they are "reverse scales". The name of this ability was given by Leonardo da Vinci. The old man himself was very satisfied with it, thinking that it not only matched the effect of the ability, but also took into account the domineering and scornful style. As the person in charge of Nilin, Bai Fei has always had little interest in naming, so she has adopted it so far.
Endorsement in the book: Currently, there are a total of forty-nine known extraterrestrial passages on the earth. They can be divided into three different types according to the output of Shenwu, namely active wells, dry wells and dead wells, also known as waste wells.
The only dead well in the world is the Yokohama Well No. 1 in Sakura County, which was first born on Earth. It had completely stopped producing Shenwu a few months ago. Numbers 2 to 9, that is, all single-digit alien passages except number 1, can be classified as dry wells with low Shenwu production. The remaining thirty-odd wells are all active wells, with normal output and no decline.
It is worth mentioning that not every member of the federal cabinet is aware of the above setting. Kimura Yankatsu only revealed the situation of Yokohama Well No. 1 and the fact that alien channels also have lifespans to Joseph Chapman. However, although the existence of dead wells is rarely known, quite a few federal senior officials can make similar inferences through changes in Shenwu production or other data.
There is no doubt that the dragon-level "Reverse Scale" can allow Bai Fei to completely absorb a Shenwu Well that is in the late stages of decline. This has been verified in Shanghai No. 2 Fortress. Manila Well No. 5, like Well No. 2, is a depleted well that lacks vitality and is gradually dying. Although the degree of depletion is not as good as Well No. 2, theoretically there will be no problem with the recovery of Bai Fei, but accidents did happen.
"I remembered. I had already controlled Well No. 5 and was about to transform it. Well No. 5 suddenly became extremely unstable without warning, and it was out of control in a short period of time. The activation of the superpower was therefore blocked. Forced to stop, the injuries on my body are the backlash caused by the interruption of my powers."
"I didn't expect the consequences of failure to activate the reverse scale to be so serious. I hope it didn't damage the roots. I don't know how long I will have to stay in bed to recover this time."
Bai Fei, who had just woken up, was still unable to regulate her body. She remained in this vegetative state until more than an hour later. After resting, she felt that her physical condition had recovered much better than before, and Bai Fei began to try to mobilize her muscles and vocal cords.
"Uh...ahem."
Her voice was very soft, but no matter how subtle the sound was in this dead world, it was undoubtedly as loud as the gongs and drums. An acquaintance's voice came to her ears: "Miss Bai, you're awake."
"Huh? Hmm..."
Diego was the source of the faint breathing sound in Bai Fei's ears earlier. He was not far away and arrived in two steps: "Miss Bai, please don't move. You are seriously injured. I will turn on the weak light source first and let Let your eyes adjust first."
Diego took out a tactical flashlight from his space bag, and the latter thoughtfully set the light to a lower setting.
Bai Fei's position of lying on her back prevented her from seeing the extent of her injuries above and below, but with the light of the flashlight, Diego's condition was clearly visible: messy hair, dirty coat, fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and a patch of hair under her forehead. His eyes, which were panicking but still trying their best to remain firm, told the good news: he was not injured and his fighting spirit was not broken.
Of course, compared to Diego's eyes, the Spanish left-handed sword still clutched in his left hand is actually more convincing. The whereabouts of the European rapier previously held in his right hand are unknown. It may have been packed into the space bag, or it may have been lost in a previous incident.
"Don't worry, Miss Bai, I'm fine," Diego was very smart and knew what Bai Fei wanted to ask: "Senior Galicia is fine too, she is actually by your side."
Bai Fei turned her head to both sides, but could only see unknown electronic equipment and slope-shaped metal walls.
Diego reminded: "We are now in the field of the senior's skill [blindness], so she cannot be perceived by us in any way."
"What...what happened..." Bai Fei struggled to squeeze out four words through her teeth. After making sure her friend was okay, she urgently wanted to know what happened.
Diego's answer was more than she could have imagined: "We were attacked by a Titan."
"Huh?" This kind of pure modal word didn't require much effort, and Bai Fei said it smoothly.
"Yes, although it is hard to believe, it is true. It is such a coincidence." Diego said: "Originally, Well No. 5 had become calm under your power, Miss Bai, but suddenly Several tentacles as thick as buckets stretched out from the other side of the well and struck the inside of the metal hall indiscriminately."
"The injury on your body was not an attack, but the backlash caused by the forced interruption of the supernatural power. While the tentacles destroyed the stability of Well No. 5, we saw you falling down with blood spurting from your mouth. See you, Senior Galicia Like, I'll pick you up and take you away quickly, and stay away from Well No. 5 before making any plans."
"At the beginning, we tried to eliminate those unknown tentacles, but after a few tentative attacks on my part, we gave up that plan and directly decided that the operation failed, and immediately evacuated the Xumizuo: with my ghost-level sword heart, cooperate with the hand Two high-quality swords, but they can't even cut the thinnest tentacles in two."
"The metal pipe connecting Xumizuo and Fortress No. 5 was also attacked, and the elevator was unusable. We spent a lot of effort and forced ourselves to climb the inner wall of the metal pipe to escape from the fortress."
Diego showed a look of regret. His weapon, the gorgeous European rapier, was lost during the evacuation.
"A Titan squeezed in before Well No. 5 completely collapsed, and burst the metal hall as soon as it came; the probe that supported Xumizuo on the seabed was broken in various ways, but the staff inside ran away It was quite fast, and we evacuated in the escape capsule and the submarine."
"The prisoners and guards who were cleaning up the ruins on the seabed were not so lucky. They were either crushed to death by rubble or washed away to unknown places by the chaotic currents."
Bai Fei listened quietly, and then asked: "Then where are we now?"
"The inside of the Xumizuo, more precisely, the transmitting tower located on the top of the Xumizuo." Diego pointed to various equipment not far away: "The top of the Xumizuo is an openable design, and it will close underwater, and it will be exposed when it is exposed. When on the water, the outer wall is opened to provide a better environment for sending and receiving information.”
"The Dolphin we came on is too far away from the Sumeru constellation; without the protection of the vehicle, even high-level ability users can easily be injured in the complex underwater environment. The original plan of the Galician senior was to rob the Sumeru constellation Escape pod or submarine, but unfortunately it didn’t work out.”
"So we changed our thinking. We first went to the transmitting tower on the top of the Xumizuo, and then I broke open the metal wall and escaped. The Xumizuo itself is tens of meters high, and the top is only twenty or thirty meters away from the water. Rice, you’ll be there in the blink of an eye.”
Diego sighed helplessly: "But as I just said, the Titan came too fast and too powerful. It waved its tentacles and severed the probe, and the Xumizuo, which lost its support, hung directly on the edge of the seabed. .We had just arrived at the transmitting tower at that time and had already missed the opportunity to leave."
"I understand, I understand what happened. We can just stay here and wait for help, but..." Bai Fei looked at the location of Wanghun: "Why did Benita open the [Binding] field?"
"Although Titans are alien creatures, in essence, they are still animals." Diego explained: "Senior believes that it is the aura of our dragon-level ability users that alarms its biological instincts, and in the barrier Under the effect of the target, the Titan is no longer aware of our existence."
"Senior Galicia's inference is correct so far. The Titan did not attack Zai Xumizuo after senior activated his superpower."
"...[Blindness] consumes a lot of money." Bai Fei knew her friend's abilities very well. [Blind Eyes] Although it is a long-lasting skill, it is extremely draining of mental energy. How long has it been since the three of them were trapped? Two hours? three hours?
"Miss Bai, be patient. I have already been in contact with the Hurricane. Although the communication is not good, I explained our situation at this time. The Hurricane has dispatched an elite team led by the dragon-level ability senior Xia Yan. , will definitely get us all out." Diego is quite confident in the renaissance organization's ability to act.
"Uh-huh."
The three people trapped at this moment did not know that at the same time, the landlubber Yun Ming, the core of the rescue team who they had high hopes for, was being kicked into the water by Jiang Yao.
