Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 395, Section 87: The Stitched-together Monster (Part 3)

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

The captain shouted frantically at the team members on the entire floor.

An ominous premonition washed over him; the glass beneath his feet had become a death bridge, threatening his very life.

The next moment, a huge black shadow slowly emerged beneath their feet. Even through the glass, the captain could feel the threat posed by this monster.

The ocean-themed restaurant has a circular center that serves as a ballroom and exhibition area, while the remaining sections are connected by straight lines, like a lollipop stringing the center together.

At this moment, all the secret troops ran towards the narrow ends like sardines, while the huge shadow was getting infinitely close under their feet. The captain could even see the fins of the behemoth slowly enlarging under his feet.

"boom--"

The entire White Walker force on the floor staggered and fell to the ground, terrified by the earth-shaking impact.

That whale shark?

The captain was astonished. Before today, that whale shark was only five meters long at most. How did it suddenly become so big?!

It's even as long as three or four rooms lined up together!

"Command! We need reinforcements!" the captain shouted into the walkie-talkie. "The situation is out of our control. That whale shark is no ordinary marine animal!"

The evacuation troops at the front had retreated back to the elevator and were anxiously pressing the open button, waiting for the elevator doors to open.

The captain looked down at the towering fins beneath his feet, which resembled a black blade piercing through him. Following the direction of the whale shark, he saw his teammates who had slipped inside as the elevator doors opened!
"Get out! Don't go in!" The captain couldn't bear to imagine the scene and hysterically shouted at his teammates' backs.

The team members who had just entered the elevator and turned around saw huge, dark shadows looming outside the transparent glass corridor, blocking out the light.

"what--!"

Driven by the instinct for survival, they frantically pressed the elevator's close button, while those who hadn't managed to get into the elevator scattered and fled.

Slowly, the alloy door closed, like a curtain falling, and the terrifying behemoth outside disappeared from the sight of everyone in the elevator.

The elevator was packed with White Walkers, and they didn't have time to relax; all they could do was pray that the elevator would go down quickly.

When the feeling of weightlessness came, everyone felt a little more at ease, at least the elevator had started moving.

The next moment, they watched helplessly as the alloy door deformed, contracted, and crashed towards them, instantly filling their field of vision.

……

Then, the deafening roar, along with the splattered blood inside the elevator, carried throughout the entire floor.

"Boom——"

The captain could only lie on the ground. With the floor shaking, escape was no longer an option. He could only try to find a way out before the seawater flooded the area.

The shock he felt was beyond words.

Why could that whale shark bite through that kind of glass?

The captain could see it all clearly.

The whale shark wasn't smashed.

When this floor was designed, the elevator shaft was surrounded by cylindrical alloy glass. Generally, even in the face of heavy bombardment, it could withstand the impact until the floor's occupants could evacuate by elevator. But this whale shark…

It actually "ate" the glass.

The elevator and its occupants were chewed up and destroyed together.

The elevator shaft on this floor had been damaged, and seawater was rushing downwards. The worst thing happened. "Sizzle—"

The power system collapsed instantly, countless overloaded light bulbs shattered with a "pop, pop," and the building was plunged into deep darkness.

The seawater not only rushed into the elevator shaft, but also onto the ceiling, taking advantage of the gap to begin flooding the 29th floor.

In the blink of an eye, the ocean restaurant was flooded like a waterfall, the rushing water drowning out everything.

Countless drops of seawater rushed down the emergency exit, engulfing the troops who were still frantically running down the stairs. The immense force of the impact carried them down to even lower floors.

And that giant sea monster was actually gnawing at the glass with a "crackling" sound...

The captain immediately understood what had happened, recalling how Yuichi Kamikawa's body had liquefied and seeped through the glass.

"Captain Hebii, can you hear me?!"

At that moment, a call came from the command center on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"Connect to the General! This whale shark, like the assassin Kamikawa, probably possesses some kind of ability to assimilate inorganic matter, or at least silicon-containing substances!"

He clung to the lamppost, gasping for breath. The seawater had already submerged his chest, and he felt immense pressure even to breathe. He could only climb as high as he could.

This glass is indeed sturdy, but once it encounters the ability to assimilate silicon-containing materials, it becomes no different from water.

The captain had a hunch that this floor was probably intended for this kind of occasion from the very beginning of its construction.

If that's the case, then the designer is truly terrifying. What profound cunning they must possess to have endured for so long! If not handled properly, the entire floor could be destroyed by the cascading seawater.

"Seawater has already seeped into the floors below through the elevator shaft!"

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, the communications officer's report reached Snakewell's ears. His expression grew even more solemn. If the seawater really flooded in, there were still many Others and dignitaries downstairs. If they were affected, it would likely cause considerable adverse social consequences.

He endured the discomfort of being soaked to the bone, using the White Walkers' agility to hang upside down from the ceiling. It was precisely in situations like this that the combat skills of a special forces captain were truly tested.

He immediately thought of Kamikawa Yuichi, who had just merged into the glass and caused the change; he was probably hiding in the overflowing seawater right now. To know the enemy's further movements, he needed to find Kamikawa Yuichi's location.

"The materials team's test results are in, Captain Hei-jing, can you hear me?"

This gave Captain Hebi a jolt of energy: "What was the result?"

"This is not technology, but some kind of microorganism that can convert between carbon and silicon, achieving a balance between the two through constant conversion."
"However, with the current level of biotechnology, this is almost impossible. These tissues also begin to deactivate within a certain time frame after being removed, which we speculate is due to the effect of the 'life-giving word'."

"I understand." Hearing this, Snake Well calmed down instead. "Let those with powerful Fate Words handle the matter. The problem now is how to deal with these tens of tons of seawater. What does the general mean?"

"The command center has contacted the control center of Hanting Tianque. They are preparing to activate the giant gate valves on the 27th and 28th floors. The construction of the Ocean Restaurant included an emergency plan for seawater leakage, so there are some preparations on the two floors below."

"A slide gate valve?" Shejing frowned. He didn't know much about the industrial field, but since it was called an emergency plan, it should be feasible to some extent.

"Captain Shejing, please head to the rooftop. There's a safety passage on the 29th floor leading to the 30th floor. We've already deployed a helicopter; you can evacuate from there."

He Jing nodded: "I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, the building began to rumble and tremble again.

"Om-"

A series of sounds of massive objects moving, along with the clicking sounds of something hitting a boundary, rang out at just the right moment.

A slide gate valve is not a single thick metal plate, but rather a series of valves scattered throughout the upper and lower channels.

The space between the ceiling and the floor of the Hanting Tianque building is generally quite thick; now that I think about it, it was clearly a pre-embedded expansion space and control system.

In the event of danger, all passageways and elevator shafts will be closed off, sealing off everyone and creating a massive high-altitude prison.
