Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 440 All-Desert

[We've reached the distance!] Su Li thought to herself.

Su Li raised the Moon Eclipse Sword, which was radiating icy coldness, and swung it at the distant escort ship.

[Lunar Eclipse & Frost Impact]

A large amount of freezing air was released in an instant, forming a moon-blue sword aura.

The sword energy struck the frigate, and Su Li felt a sensation of cutting something open. Sun Lili's eyes widened as she clearly saw the complex and tangled mental field surrounding the frigate in the distance being instantly severed, like a slice of rice cake being cut open, with the wound slightly protruding and having a sticky texture.

Then, freezing air erupted, and the icy power began to grow within the spiritual body, constantly expanding its territory within the spiritual field. The spiritual field was torn apart by ice crystals that grew like tree trunks. A strange power even caused the spiritual field to not react or resist when attacked, as if it were trapped in some beautiful dream, unable to extricate itself.

[Hiss~ What a bizarre attack.] Sun Lili looked Su Li up and down. [How did you develop that?]

[This is still a work in progress. The subsequent effects were developed by chance.] Su Li looked at the distant escort ship, quite satisfied with her results. [The moon is a haven of peace. After being attacked by my Lunar Eclipse Sword extended sword technique, it not only destroys the enemy's soul but also brings a sense of peace, reducing the enemy's will to resist.]

The results were even better than I expected, bringing out some effects I hadn't yet developed. There was a kind of stagnation, a power of stillness.

Zuli suddenly thought of many things. In his view, the ultimate state of ice was when all particles ceased to move. It was a force of complete stillness. This force was akin to time standing still.

The properties of magical energy reflect the values ​​of extraordinary individuals. Since they have such ideas, their power should contain the seed of such power.

Ice crystals began to spread across the frigate, which seemed powerless to resist; all its equipment went silent.

This was naturally because Su Li had mentally destroyed the core of the frigate—the fleshy mass capable of extracting vast amounts of psychic power—which had paralyzed the entire frigate. All that remained were the crew members, still desperately resisting with their weapons.

Their deaths were inevitable.

After seeing the results, Su Li grimaced and rubbed her body, from her lower abdomen to her spine, and then to her hands. A wave of soreness and numbness washed over her. Su Li knew that this was because the output efficiency of magical energy was too high, putting too much pressure on her meridians, which caused some damage to her body.

That last strike unleashed a third of his magical energy.

"Let Sister Mingyu take a look; she's quite experienced in treating meridian damage," Sun Lili said with a smile.

Where did the experience come from? Naturally, it came from treating Sun Lili. Sun Lili's ruthless technique of converting her entire lymphatic, nervous, and circulatory system into temporary energy circuits was developed under Song Mingyu's care. Compared to Sun Lili's technique of increasing energy release efficiency several times over, Su Li's minor meridian injuries were nothing.

On the other side, in the battleship, General Henry, who was still directing the damage control team to carry out firefighting and repairs, also saw the frigate covered with ice crystals.

He realized a serious problem.

[Does the other side have the capability to wipe us out completely?]

Thinking of this, Henry felt a surge of regret welling up from the bottom of his heart, tearing at his soul.

If I had known earlier, I would have fired the main gun from tens of kilometers away and wiped them out.

They are now not only in a predicament, but the tiger has also begun to devour their hands and feet.

"Too arrogant. Our long battles with sea monsters have robbed us of our caution." General Henry clutched his eyes in anguish, leaning back in his chair.

Henry and his crew had already spotted the train in the distance. It was still night, and their radar was constantly on to defend against the sea monster. Since their energy was virtually inexhaustible, they didn't need to conserve radar power.

Seeing the train traveling on the sea, and thinking about the newly added tracks on the sea that could switch between reality and illusion, allowing ships to travel freely, Henry became very interested.

So he gave the train a chance, tried to persuade it to surrender, and wanted to study this interesting thing.

Little did anyone know that this seemingly joking idea would lead to this outcome.

The distance was too close; they couldn't unleash their true power—the power of area-of-effect suppression ships and annihilation battleships.

If the distance increases to 20 kilometers, they'll be in a bit of a mess. At 50 kilometers, they'll expend more ammunition. At 70 kilometers, a single order from Henry will end the battle in a minute.

But now, they have powerful weapons, yet they have no way to use them.

If Su Li knew General Henry's thoughts, he would only laugh at him for overthinking things. He had no idea that the outcome of the battle was already decided the moment Henry bared his fangs at Su Li and his men. The only difference was the extent of damage to Su Li's train.

Their individual strength has already overwhelmed their technological creations.

"Now, is it feasible to use the main guns to attack indiscriminately and perish together with them?" General Henry asked Richie.

“I’m afraid that’s unlikely.” Richie closed his eyes in despair. “The enemy has bullets that can penetrate our spatial barriers and can precisely destroy our weapons. The freezing attack that person used just now was also formidable. The captain of the escort ship reported that their energy core went out in an instant. All the faces on it showed expressions of fear and pain.”

"That's a method that can directly attack the mind, and the mental defenses on the frigate were breached in an instant."

"Even our fleet couldn't withstand a defense that could penetrate a frigate in an instant."

General Henry kept his eyes closed and did not respond, but his breathing became heavier and heavier.

Inside the bridge, only the beeping of machinery could be heard; no one spoke, and the atmosphere was as heavy as if one were in a funeral parlor.

Henry was silent for a minute, then he opened his eyes, which were bloodshot. "This time, it was my mistake in command. I misjudged the strength of the enemy."

"We're finished. We can't even take them down with us with our main guns. But there's one more thing we can do: drag them down to hell."

Henry glanced at his crew with a strange look in his eyes. "I know there are many cowards among you, but now, we have no way out."

Some of the men were trembling; they knew exactly what Henry was going to do next.

That was the cruelest form of torture. In the Holy City, only the most heinous criminals were subjected to this torture.

"Can't we surrender?" a soldier tried to offer a constructive suggestion.

Henry pulled out his pistol and shot the man in the head. "There's no such thing as surrender here!"

Henry glanced at the trembling crew and sneered, "Very well, everyone, put on your helmets, activate Plan 9, inject the filth!"
