215: Chapter 215 Reversing Life and Death! The Wrath of the Rules and a New Journey!

Xia Mo's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

The complex runes formed by the [Resurrection Card] had completely merged into the center of her eyebrows.

A miracle was unfolding.

On the ECG monitor, a flat line turned into a rhythmic, wavy curve.

"Beep... beep... beep!"

Chen Du stood by the bed, holding the girl's hand.

It had warmth.

Rumble—!!!

There was absolutely no time for the two to share a tender moment.

The entire Fortress 0819 shook violently.

The shrill alarm in the main control room was enough to pierce one's eardrums.

[Warning! Heavenly Judgment Sequence has locked onto the target!]

[Elimination program initiated!]

The alloy ceiling of the lounge was instantly pierced by a blinding scarlet light.

The light completely ignored the half-meter-thick special armor and shone directly onto Xia Mo.

The Heavenly Dao was enraged.

The supreme will of the Survival World would absolutely not allow anyone to exploit bugs, nor would it allow the heaven-defying act of the dead returning to life!

Crack!

A scarlet bolt of lightning, as thick as a water vat, struck straight down at 0819!

"Get lost!!!"

At this moment, Chen Du's eyes had been swallowed by a dark golden light.

He did not dodge, instead standing directly in front of the hospital bed.

"The woman I snatched back from the jaws of the Evil God—is it your turn to take her?"

The [King of Shadows] talent erupted completely!

The shadows at his feet boiled and expanded, then surged upward!

In the blink of an eye.

The black shadows coalesced behind him into a terrifying demon phantom dozens of meters tall!

The demon phantom thrust its arms upward toward the sky!

Pulling on the shadows across the entire 0819, it formed a giant black umbrella, forcibly holding back the descending scarlet lightning!

Bang!

Red and black collided!

The space inside the entire lounge distorted violently, and the light tubes burst one after another.

A massive sense of pressure flowed through the connection of the shadows, pouring directly into Chen Du's limbs and bones.

He let out a muffled groan, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The muscles in his legs bulged as he refused to take even a single step back.

"Is that all you've got? Is your Heavenly Dao weak?!"

Chen Du gritted his teeth and threw his head back, laughing wildly.

The thunderous punishment seemed enraged by this arrogant provocation.

The scarlet lightning suddenly expanded, and the pressure doubled.

The bones throughout Chen Du's body emitted creaking sounds of being unable to bear the load.

But the madness in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Ten seconds.

Twenty seconds.

A full half-minute of high-intensity confrontation!

The Heavenly Dao's sanction program seemed to have reached its single-output limit.

The red light flickered a few times before finally dissipating.

The heavy dark clouds hovering over Fortress 0819 also vanished into thin air.

The oppressive feeling vanished abruptly.

"Cough, cough..."

Chen Du spat out a mouthful of blood.

The massive demon phantom behind him exhausted its power and turned into wisps of black smoke, retreating beneath his feet.

"Chen Du..."

An extremely weak yet crystal-clear whisper came from behind him.

Chen Du turned around abruptly.

Xia Mo on the bed had opened her eyes.

In those clear eyes, the light reflected Chen Du's figure.

The girl saw the blood at the corner of the man's mouth and the chaotic, ruined state of the lounge.

Without any unnecessary words.

Xia Mo sat up abruptly, opened her arms, and hugged Chen Du's neck tightly, tears streaming from her eyes.

"I thought... I would never see you again."

Chen Du wrapped his arms around the girl's slender waist, feeling her vibrant heartbeat.

He reached out and patted Xia Mo's back.

"I won't let you die."

Bang!

The lounge door was kicked open.

"Third Sister!"

Xia Lai and Xia Xin were the first to rush in.

They were followed by Tang Ran, Li Yaozhi, and Ye Qiu.

When they saw the black-haired girl sitting by the bed, holding Chen Du tightly, everyone froze.

They were stunned for a full three seconds.

"Holy crap! She's alive! She's actually alive!"

Tang Ran cursed and lunged directly to the side of the bed.

Xia Xin covered her mouth, sobbing uncontrollably, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

Ye Qiu stepped forward and reached out to check Xia Mo's carotid artery.

This usually calm Medic's hand was shaking uncontrollably.

"Incredible... this completely overturns common medical knowledge."

Li Yaozhi leaned against the doorframe, letting out a long breath, her gaze toward Chen Du filled with a newfound, fanatical admiration.

This man could even withstand the will of the Heavenly Dao!

The girls gathered around Xia Mo, chattering, crying, and laughing.

Outside the window.

The first ray of sunlight on the New Continent happened to pierce through the mist, shining onto the floor.

The feeling of being alive is wonderful!

Just then.

A hissing sound of static suddenly came over the broadcast.

Followed by Xiao Ai's slightly trembling voice.

"Cap-Captain... you'd better come to the monitoring room and take a look."

Chen Du frowned slightly and pressed the communication button: "What happened?"

"When we came ashore just now... we seem to have stepped on a local NPC."

Xiao Ai swallowed hard, "Looking at it... it doesn't look like an ordinary monster."

Five minutes later.

Below the giant mechanical foot on the front right side of Fortress 0819.

Chen Du, wearing a black trench coat, brought Tang Ran and Xia Lai down to the ground via a rappelling rope.

The soil here was dark black, and the air was filled with a faint earthy smell.

The deep pit created by the giant foot was over ten meters wide.

Chen Du jumped into the bottom of the pit, his gaze fixed.

What had been flattened was a corpse.

To be precise, it was the corpse of a half-orc wearing modern bulletproof armor!

The deceased had the silhouette of a human in its upper body, but its skin was covered in green scales.

The skull had been crushed, but there was a long lizard tail among the remains.

"What the hell kind of Stitched Monster is this?" Tang Ran crouched down and pulled out a dagger to pry open the bulletproof vest on the corpse.

The material of this armor was extremely tough, and unknown symbols were engraved on its surface.

"Captain, look here."

Xia Lai had sharp eyes; she put on gloves and tore a walkie-talkie from the equipment belt on the corpse's waist.

It was crafted with precision, and a badge composed of crossed lightning bolts and gears was printed on the casing.

At this moment, the walkie-talkie's indicator light was flashing with an urgent red glow.

Zzz... zzz...

Amidst the static and noise, a standard synthetic female voice came through.

"Exploration Team 7, please respond immediately."

"Life monitoring shows that Alpha team member has gone offline."

"Warning! Satellite imagery has captured an unknown giant construct invasion."

"You have entered the edge of the Old God Forbidden Zone."

"Repeat, please report coordinates immediately. Cleanup forces are on the way..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and the walkie-talkie screen went completely dark.

Tang Ran gripped her dagger tightly, her eyes stern.

"Captain, this place has indigenous people. And... their technology tree is much more advanced than ours."

Xia Lai held the walkie-talkie, her face turning slightly pale. "Satellite imagery? They actually have space-based equipment? Our 300-meter-tall mobile fortress was just a sitting duck in their eyes!"

Chen Du stood up and squinted, surveying the deep, eerie black forest all around.

The Forbidden Sea of the god of fear.

The eerie half-orcs.

Highly developed technological forces.

And this so-called "Old God Forbidden Zone."

The true core map of the Survival World had finally unveiled a corner to him.

Chen Du was not panicked.

He raised his foot and kicked the half-orc corpse into the soil to bury it.

"Interesting."

Chen Du's lips curled into a cold arc.

"I don't care about their exploration teams or cleanup forces. Anyone who messes with me will end up as fuel."

"Notify the entire ship to enter Level 1 combat readiness."

"It's time for us to set the rules for this New Continent!"
