Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 388 A fit of rage

Because of Li Jingyi's unexpected injury, Chen Xi's ongoing psychological treatment was forced to be interrupted.

This sudden turn of events was like a heavy hammer blow, slamming into the calm lake of his heart and stirring up towering waves.

The dark emotions that Li Jingyi had temporarily soothed with her gentleness and patience were now roaring wildly in his mind like wild beasts breaking free of their cages.

Looking at Li Jingyi, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, Chen Xi felt an unprecedented surge of violence boiling in his veins.

His fingers spasmed uncontrollably, making a sickeningly loud clicking sound from his knuckles.

Bloody images kept flashing through his mind—the mountains of corpses and seas of blood he had seen in the 40k world, the distorted faces corrupted by chaos, and what angered him most at this moment was the black and white ringed sea serpent.

Every scene was like a sharp knife, relentlessly eroding his reason.

The moment the doctor announced that Li Jingyi was out of danger, Chen Xi practically fled the hospital.

He needed to find a place to vent, otherwise this destructive impulse could potentially affect innocent people.

The sea breeze whistled past his ears as he swept across the coastline like a black lightning bolt, only stopping in the open sea when he was sure there was no one around for dozens of kilometers.

Standing on the turbulent sea, Chen Xi finally stopped suppressing himself.

He threw his head back and let out a roar that was unlike any human's, and the spiritual energy within his body was released like a nuclear explosion.

Centered on him, a huge whirlpool with a diameter of several hundred meters instantly sank into the sea surface, and the surrounding seawater was pushed far away by an invisible force, forming a ring of water wall tens of meters high.

Immediately afterwards, various supernatural forces began to wreak havoc in this sea area.

Dark clouds gathered overhead at a visible speed, and thick lightning bolts, like the whips of gods, struck the sea repeatedly, each strike sending up towering columns of water.

The moisture in the air instantly condensed into countless icicles, which then poured down like a torrential rain.

Even more terrifying, eerie blue flames suddenly ignited on the sea surface, spreading across the water and burning everything they touched to a crisp.

The sea area within a radius of several kilometers has been turned into a living hell.

Giant waves rolled, thunder roared, and ice and fire clashed.

When this frenzied outburst finally ended, a thick layer of fish carcasses floated on the sea surface. Some were charred black by lightning, some were pierced by ice spikes, and some were burned to the skeleton by flames.

In the murky seawater, one or two surviving fish can occasionally be seen fleeing in panic.

Chen Xi stood on the wrecked sea, his chest heaving violently.

After venting, those violent emotions finally subsided temporarily.

But looking at the destruction he had caused, a bitter smile appeared on his lips—this level of destruction was nothing in the Warhammer universe, but in this peaceful world, it was already shocking enough.

Ordinary people would obviously have a hard time observing the psionic storm that Chen Xi stirred up in the open sea. After all, the area where the incident occurred was hundreds of nautical miles from the nearest shipping lanes, and ordinary fishing boats and yachts would never approach this desolate waterway. Even if a ship happened to pass by, it would only mistake it for a sudden extreme weather phenomenon.

However, hundreds of kilometers above space, sophisticated sensors on multiple military satellites meticulously recorded this supernatural storm. High-definition cameras captured lightning trails that defied meteorological patterns, infrared detectors detected anomalous and dramatic fluctuations in sea surface temperature, and synthetic aperture radar clearly mapped the eerie energy distribution in that area of ​​the ocean.

These abnormal data immediately triggered the early warning systems of the militaries of various countries.

When Chen Xi finished venting and returned to the hospital under the cover of night, he had no idea what kind of shock his actions had caused in the command centers of more than a dozen military powers around the world.

As soon as he entered the lobby of the inpatient department, he was stopped by four officers in naval uniforms with gleaming epaulets, drawing the attention of patients and medical staff around him.

The leader was a colonel with two bars and three stars, in his early forties, with a square face etched with the marks of time.

Behind him stood three serious-looking majors. The four of them stood ramrod straight, but they could not hide the shock and vigilance in their eyes.

"Mr. Chen Xi, may I have a word with you? We are from the Navy." The colonel deliberately lowered his voice.

His gaze swept quickly over Chen Xi, noticing the salt stains and several suspicious dark red marks on her clothes.

"What is it? If it's not urgent, I'd like to visit a friend first." Chen Xi frowned slightly upon seeing this, his voice hoarse as if he hadn't had water in a long time.

At this moment, Chen Xi was filled with intense irritability and destructive desire, and the veins on his temples were faintly visible.

But he still tried his best to control himself, and having just vented, he was able to remain calm and have a normal conversation.

However, the soldiers who arrived could all sense the immense killing intent emanating from Chen Xi, which he was not holding back at all, as if they were facing a ferocious beast that might suddenly erupt at any moment.

The terrifying red blood vessels in his eyes and the fishy smell emanating from him made the youngest major unconsciously take a half step back.

Knowing that Chen Xi was not in a good state, the naval officers exchanged glances.

The leading officer made a gesture, and the other three immediately spread out in unison, forming a loose encirclement to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

The colonel then lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Chen Xi, your actions at sea were captured by satellite."

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, a mixture of a soldier's vigilance and an indescribable sense of awe.

As he spoke, he pulled a stack of photos from his briefcase. The top one clearly showed a blurry figure standing amidst raging waves, with the surrounding sea exhibiting unnatural whirlpool-like patterns.

The photo also has precise latitude and longitude coordinates and a timestamp marked on the corners, indicating that it was a top-secret image taken less than two hours ago.

"Is there a problem with this?" Chen Xi seemed a little impatient, his gaze frequently drifting towards the ward at the end of the corridor, clearly his mind was elsewhere.

“If only our satellites captured it, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but satellites from other countries also captured what you just did. Military forces from various countries are urgently contacting us now, and things could get very serious.” The colonel gave a wry smile, emphasizing the word “serious” as he observed Chen Xi’s reaction.

The colonel patiently explained to Chen Xi that he could tell that Chen Xi was probably not in the mood to deal with these things right now, and might even handle the matter in a very extreme way.

The colonel's forehead was already covered in fine beads of sweat, and he could clearly feel the dangerous aura emanating from the seemingly ordinary young man in front of him.

However, due to various reasons, and the fact that Chen Xi is the person involved, it is truly necessary to find him for this matter.
