403: Chapter 287 T1-135 403: Chapter 287 T1-135 However, with Zhang Xiaomanâs intervention midway, some who were supposed to die ended up surviving.
Kando had already closed his eyes to accept death, but after waiting for a while, he hadnât felt any pain, which made him somewhat confused.
Could it be because the monsterâs teeth were too sharp, and he was actually already dead, which is why he felt nothing?
Before he could open his eyes to check, he was suddenly propelled a great distance by an immense force.
Kando only felt sore all over, but fortunately, he was far enough away from the center of the incident to remain conscious, while some others were not so lucky.
Matt had also survived the monsterâs attack on his speedboat and, by some stroke of luck, avoided its first wave of attacks after falling into the water.
But since he was closer to the big fish, he inevitably suffered some repercussions.
The Dark Energy Shock and the impact from the monsterâs plunge left Mattâs head spinning.
Despite being in a state of extreme anger, he couldnât change a thing and almost instantaneously lost consciousness.
Fainting in this giant lake, comparable in size to the entirety of Qionghua City, one could only imagine the consequences.
The only silver lining was that the Sea Lion Reconnaissance Team was adept at amphibious combat, even though they were mercenaries hastily conscripted and looked down upon by other proper military personnel.
However, the equipment provided to Matt and his peers lacked nothing, and with the material of his Combat Suit, even unconscious, he would not easily sink.
Instead, with his face up, he drifted along the water towards some direction.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoman was piloting the Dawn, chasing after the location provided by the Star Rank tracking system.
The monster, after having sustained a fatal hit from him, was evidently scared witless and now scrambled desperately, using all its Strength to swim towards the far depths of the lake bed.
But, how could it possibly escape under the terrifying speed of the Anti-gravity Car?
Even if it hid at the bottom of the lake, it was to no avail.
Zhang Xiaoman directly controlled the Dawn to dive into the water, initiating an underwater chase.
Eventually, Zhang Xiaoman caught up with it at a depth of three hundred meters, and facing his black spaceship, which was no smaller than itself, the giant catfish looked utterly confused.
Whatâs going on?
Werenât you supposed to be an air unit?
How did you chase me down here?
This is different from all the birds Iâve eaten before.
With its limited Intelligence, it couldnât comprehend how the thing behind it could do this, but soon it wouldnât have the chance to ponder anymore.
Zhang Xiaoman was now at a depth of three hundred meters, and for him, combat in such a place was nearly impossible.
But what he couldnât do didnât mean the Dawn couldnât.
With the aid of the Star Rank System, the all-terrain vehicle quickly activated its attack program.
The rocket turret in front of the spaceship opened, and a small amphibious Rocket shot out.
This was one of the few underwater tracking missiles available on Zhang Xiaomanâs ship.
The Rocket sped through the water, leaving a long trail behind it, catching up to the monster swiftly.
âBoom!â
A muffled yet intense explosion resounded, the might of which could still be felt underwater.
The water in the area ahead seemed to evaporate, with countless waves being pushed outward, diffusing in all directions.
Under that forceâs influence, within a 600-meter radius centered on the explosion, a virtual vacuum had been created.
The Dawnâs Shield was active, and its formidable performance allowed it to stay steadily in place amidst the Shock, unaffected.
âSnap~â
A small fish, caught in the surge, hit the panoramic display wall in front of Zhang Xiaoman.
The water flow was still rushing towards him, and it took quite a while before it finally started to slow down.
Then came a huge surging backflow, a scene fully captured under the illumination of the anti-gravity carâs searchlights, presenting a unique beauty amid the violence.
âDamn, whatâs this?
A cloud bomb?â
Zhang Xiaoman was utterly astonished by the scene unfolding before him.
His eyes widened, his facial expression twitched uncontrollably, he had never imagined that a casual request for the Star Rank to fire an underwater torpedo would result in such an effect.
After a good while, he gradually came back to his senses and looked down at his wristwatch.
âSystem?
What did you say this missile was just now?â
âA small amphibious tracking rocket, model T1-135âŠâ
âWait, what are the first two words?â
âSmallâŠâ
Zhang Xiaomanâs face stiffened, feeling an urgent need to let out a huge rant trapped inside him.
Darn it all, had the System spent too much time with him and learned to act cool too?
You call this small?
Then whatâs medium?
And whatâs large?
It was just fishing, was there a need for such a grand spectacle?
Fortunately, I was far enough away.
Looking at that spread, it was at least one kilometer.
It was also lucky that the Seven-star Lake was large enough.
Otherwise, if it were a smaller river, that last blast could have possibly evaporated everything.
âSystem, how many of these missiles do I have left?â
âCurrently, there is 1 T1-135 remaining.â
Zhang Xiaoman frowned upon hearing this.
Only one left?
Thatâs cutting it close, he thought, Iâll have to use them more sparingly from now on.
After such a delay, the site of the explosion had once again become calm.
However, in this body of water, the sporadic schools of fish visible before had now completely disappeared without a trace, quiet as if it were a realm of death.
âHold on a secondâŠâ
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly realized something, he quickly ordered the Dawn to head over, and at the same time, he had the Star Rank initiate the tracking scan function.
âThe fish have been blown to bits, butâŠ
whereâs my monster!?â
There, after a brief pause, the voice of the Star Rank finally spoke:
âStar Lord, the target has been eliminated.
No dark energy fluctuation has been detected.â
Zhang Xiaomanâs complexion turned sour, feeling as if countless alpacas were stampeding through his heart.
What was going on, he blew up the monster with one shot?
What about my points?
âDamn it, if I had known your missile was this fierce, I would have thought of another way.
Now look, the points have also vanished, all that effort for nothing.â
Zhang Xiaoman, slightly depressed, scratched his head and then slumped onto the sofa.
Still, not giving up, he had the anti-gravity car search the area once more before sighing and preparing to leave.
But just as he was passing by a certain area, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a flash from the Eye of the Starry Sky mark in his right palm, startling him.
He quickly ordered the car to stop.
