Chapter 53: The Devourer (1)
In the wilderness where the night wind whines, an owl with shiny feathers spreads its wings and flies hundreds of meters in the air. The scenery on the ground is stretched into a blurred line and quickly recedes. After a few seconds, the wind in front of me gradually increased, and a large green wilderness appeared at the same time.
The ground was turbulent, the lush woods were toppling forward at an angle, and all sorts of animals below seemed to be startled by something, jumping and running everywhere. At the top of the canopy, a thick cloud formed a funnel, and the tip of the funnel at the lowest end was connected to the undulating horizon.
The owl lowered its altitude and continued to fly close to Lin Hai, galloping all the way in the direction of the funnel. Due to the lack of light, the forest was immersed in darkness and undulated, and the suction in the air became stronger and stronger, forming a black whirlwind that rolled up column after column.
The upriver meanders through the mountain stream, looking out over the gentle black slope where a shadow of coniferous evergreens grows. The wind swept down the gentle slope, and the trees tumbled up the slope under the suction force, and the rumbling sound had long since overpowered all other sounds. At this moment, the ancient trees seemed to be swept up in a torrent, carried by a dark and heavy wind, and sent into a vast funnel cloud.
The further the owl flew, the greater the suction it felt, and the shiny black feathers on its body fell off, revealing its silvery-white metal body. After judging that the suction force was beyond the range of the body, it retracted its wings and fell to the ground, two sharp mechanical claws embedded in a rock wall, and observed the rapidly expanding hole cloud in front of it up close.
In the process of frantically devouring all the matter around it, the body of the loophole cloud expanded rapidly, just like the tide swept away the night sky in all directions - the sky surged in all directions, and the clouds quickly swallowed the forest that stretched for dozens of kilometers, and the blue-white lightning shuttled among the clouds, and the lightning reflected the top of the clouds, but there was no thunderous lightning that followed.
Even the lightning was consumed by the clouds as bait.
Inside the clouds that spread like an abyss, a pillar of light suddenly rose into the sky—fiery red, continuously ejecting from the vortex, huge as the pillar of optimus.
However, in the darkness, this pillar of light seemed to be some kind of special ritual, one after another, and in a moment, a huge five-pointed star pattern was interwoven in the sky. The enlarged pentagram swirls brighter and brighter, and in a short time it reveals a dark and viscous cloud, casting an ominous and eerie light over the world.
......
Sneer——!
At this moment, the dense neutron bombs dragged out countless blazing red trajectories and swooped down from the higher scattered layers. It landed on the surface of the huge pentagram, exploding the ripples of the circle and slightly oscillating. The dark red shattered light sprinkled like a rain of fire on the earth, exploding on touch, and soon a cloud of mushrooms rose on the ground in a radius of thousands of kilometers.
During the bombardment, slender black spots grew on the surface of the pentagram pattern, which were of different thicknesses and intertwined, looking like cracks in the glass when it was about to be broken, and each one was more than ten kilometers long. Several vertical black spots, connected to the center of the Pentagram, rotate in reverse directions at the same speed.
Ka – Ka Ka ——!
In the dense sound of crystal shattering, the dark spots became denser and denser, and spread downward along the cloud of holes, eventually intersecting to highlight a large spherical outline. The energy continued to stir and spread, forming a huge gravitational tide, and the hole-like dark cloud contracted and contracted into a black spot, which was swallowed up by countless criss-crossing black spots.
And with this devastating suction, black streamers stretched out in the spherical outline, like a rainbow blackened by ink, scattered towards the place where the breath of life was strong in the distance.
Woo-woo-woo——!
Mixed with the fierce roar of the wind, the low roar of some kind of behemoth mixed in with the wind, echoing between heaven and earth.
One by one, one by one
Fayon area, military base No. 11.
With the loud sound of the wind agitating, a pitch-black rainbow came across the air, and the dirt and gravel hung upside down like a waterfall in its pass. The turbulent ground was cracked with countless wounds, and the night was twisted into large folds of undulating gray. Countless animals with slightly smaller weights were pulled into the sky by the suction, and then flew high into the air along the pitch-black rainbow. The slightly larger beast struggled in the wilderness, barely standing on the sight of its entire body turned upside down around it.
......
In the command room of the base, the pale Governor Fayong was drinking water while sweating profusely at the surveillance screen. Behind him stood the entire high-ranking officers of the base, who were constantly wiping the cold sweat from their faces with handkerchiefs, all with expressions of nervousness and anxiety that were about to be in trouble.
These people only felt that today was the end of the world, and everyone couldn't help but turn pale and look at the big screen with straight eyes. Countless and countless birds and beasts mingled into the wind and sand, swirling and rising into the sky. From a bird's-eye view, the entire military body seems to be in the midst of a terrible torrent, and it is in danger of collapsing and disintegrating at any time.
Under their gaze, the desert that spread for thousands of miles on the periphery of the base was actually pulled into the air by the suction, and in a moment, the sky was obscured.
The camera quickly became cloudy and dark.
The sweltering air in the command room was filled with the smell of sweat, and at this moment they seemed to sink into the deep sea—even in the closed base, they could hear the muffled sound of wind and sand, as if there were turbulent undersea currents around them.
"Your Excellency, what should we do at this time?" asked one of the military aides, in a hoarse voice.
His voice was soft, more like a whisper than a whisper, but it was harsh in the silence of the command room.
"That's right! Something should be done!"
The Governor stood up as if he had just woken up from a dream, wiped the sweat from his face vigorously, and commanded as quickly as he could:
"Quickly! Pass my order, and transfer all the soldiers and civilians to the third basement! Strictly prohibit anyone from escaping from the base, strictly prohibit walking and panic speech, and strictly prohibit anyone from staying on the first or second basement floor! Also, turn off the redundant power supply equipment and hit all energy sources into the supply energy barrier!"
"Yes!"
The officers reacted, grabbed the communicator in their hands, and unfamiliarly pressed the call button to convey the governor's order.
......
At this moment, at the heart of the catastrophe, directly below the spherical outline.
The bionic owl's body is crumbling, and it still persists in its place. It silently watched as the rain of missiles overhead fell, exploded, and burned, crumbling the pentagram pattern. More ranged weapons are fired head-on at the spherical silhouette, but in the process, the massive spherical silhouette is becoming clearer and clearer from virtual to real.
