Unlike the cautiousness with which they entered, the four people including Lenny who came out of the Maritime Protector Mansion were running with all their might to evacuate to a distant location. Having successfully delivered the item, they no longer had to worry about being discovered and affecting the progress of the entire plan. Or rather, at this moment, evacuating to the remote seaside cliff on the other side as fast as possible was the safest thing to do.
After all, besides their own actions, no one could guarantee whether the other races they had used would arrive at the target location at the scheduled time.
Running with all their strength, this uncovered action did not comply with the past regulations for expeditions set by the settlement. But at this moment, no one had the time to care about that. If they, who knew about the subsequent plan, wanted to avoid getting involved, the best thing to do was to run as far as they could.
Even with this expected escape, time was still far from enough. Not long after, the four people including Lenny felt as if they had been struck by a giant hammer at the same time. They staggered a few steps and almost fell. Their abdominal cavities felt as if they had been forcefully pulled, sinking downwards. It took several seconds for them to finally realize that it was just an illusion.
However, something was really happening.
Probably guessing what had happened, the four of them immediately turned their heads and looked back in the direction they came from. After turning the corner of the headland, a protruding cliff had completely blocked the abandoned Werebeast building. Without a doubt, the real pressure on their internal organs was also coming from that direction at this moment.
A bright light that was almost blinding. Even with the cliff as a cover, so they didn't have to face the damage directly, Lenny could clearly see that the cliff, a mixture of rock and mud, seemed to be gradually disappearing. The intense light almost pierced through solid objects. No, he couldn't look anymore!
"Get down! Get down now! Don't look!!!"
Turning around sharply and throwing himself to the ground in the other direction, Lenny yelled desperately, fearing that his warning would not be heard.
It must be said that they were indeed well-selected veterans. Almost at the same time Lenny spoke, the other three also threw themselves to the ground, covered their ears, opened their mouths, and, being close to the ground, they could clearly feel as if the entire world was trembling and shaking.
Boom!!!
To Imanity, it was an explosion that felt as if it was going to split the heavens and the earth open again. If one were to look down from high up, one could clearly see an invisible circle spreading outwards from the center of the explosion, and the airwave carrying sand and rocks was pushing outwards. But what was even more impossible to ignore was the huge tidal wave that was set off by this fierce explosion.
The seawater that was pushed away into the deep ocean by the airwave was like it was retaliating, pushing back with a higher and faster posture. The flat sea water was even higher than the cliff and it slammed into a corner of the continent with a crash.
From head to toe, from every strand of hair to their toes, they felt pain and great pressure, as if they were directly pressed by a weight of several thousand pounds, almost squeezing out all the remaining air in the lungs of the four people including Lenny, along with their internal organs. The towering seawater directly crushed over their bodies, enveloping them.
Pain, suffering, but compared to the pain that made them black out, what was even more fatal was the seawater that swept them in. They couldn't breathe and couldn't get oxygen. One of the four people even fainted directly, spitting out bubbles. And the remaining three people, even though they didn't pass out, were also on that life-threatening line.
Submerged under countless amounts of seawater, even the scarce light was swallowed. Lenny eyes were already so bloodshot that his vision was a crimson mess. He could hear Su'er yelling something at him, but his consciousness, which was about to be cut off, could not piece the words together. In this state of near-death, he saw the light that should have disappeared reappearing in his blurred vision.
Did the seawater disappear?
Or was the sea split apart?
This was the last thought Lenny could have before he completely passed out.
Waking up was not a pleasant feeling. At least for the four people including Lenny, they would rather have remained unconscious, so at least they wouldn't have to be in so much pain now.
Their heads hurt as if they were about to explode, and the dizziness that couldn't be relieved even when lying flat on the ground. Even opening their eyes made them feel nauseous from the not-so-intense light. Although this nauseating feeling wouldn't disappear by closing their eyes, it would make them feel a little better. As for the physical pain, there was no need to say more.
However, it was a pity that this evasive thought was directly declared a failure because of a certain Ex-Machina's good intentions.
"The medicine... do you want to eat more?"
"It's made by Think... very useful..."
The unique, timid voice of the Ex-Machina, no, Schwi, who was already very familiar among the Imanity warriors, still echoed in the ears of the four people including Lenny. Without a doubt, it was this Ex-Machina girl who saved them from the heavy seawater at the most critical moment.
Of course, it was also a very necessary choice to directly create a space channel to bring Lenny and the others over for the fastest rescue and evacuation. The only problem was that for the fragile human body, even though Schwi had done her best to add protective measures for the four people including Lenny, the pressure of traversing space seemed a bit too much for Imanity.
By the way, such a high-difficulty technical skill as traversing space was not a skill that the Ex-Machina possessed. Schwi only learned this trick by secretly observing when Jibril, before she left the settlement and did not return, used this trick at will.
Putting aside what an important role the trick that the Ex-Machina girl learned played in Su'er's subsequent plan, at least the lives of Lenny and the others were indeed saved by this trick for now.
"No, cough, cough, ugh! No, no more, Schwi," Unable to hold back dry heaves, Lenny, as the captain, managed to say a complete sentence compared to the others who couldn't even speak. "Thank you so much. You saved us in that situation. But we don't need any more medicine. We really can't stomach any more..."
In fact, right after Schwi saved the four people including Lenny from danger, she immediately took out what was said to be a general-purpose battlefield medicine specially made by Think that could treat most symptoms of discomfort and poured it down Lenny throat. This was why Lenny felt as if he could still smell that medicinal taste in his nose even though he didn't dry heave anything out.
"How's the plan? Did we succeed?" To prevent the straightforward Ex-Machina girl from doing anything fatal, Lenny quickly asked.
