Chapter 648: Alpha-Class Anomaly - Cloud Whale
Chapter 648: Alpha-Class Anomaly - Cloud Whale
"Are you sure you'll be fine? This thing looks pretty tough to handle," Qin Muye said, eyeing Sun Zhen's skin, which was constantly writhing as if it were about to detach.
"It's fine, this is only the second time I'm using it. You're so reckless with your lifespan, and I'm just a minor inconvenience," Sun Zhen glanced at the pocket watch in Qin Muye's hand, which had now twisted again. It was currently forty-five days before their original time, and the addition of a biological template had reduced the watch's cooldown period from one month to half a month.
"My lifespan is intangible, just a feeling. You, on the other hand, are much more intense. If you use this thing a few more times, your skin might just run away," Qin Muye joked.
It wasn't entirely impossible. Sun Zhen's skin was indeed becoming more and more lively.
"Don't worry, I know my limits. It's just a matter of the usage cost. While it can't be avoided, with the power of the Cat Star lineage, it should last at least ten times, which is more than enough," Sun Zhen was well-prepared for this. After joining the Universal Defenders Organization, he had long since put his personal safety aside.
As long as it ensured the continuation of civilization, everything was worth it.
Besides, losing skin wouldn't kill him, it would just hurt a bit.
Because he had extraordinary powers, the effects started from his skin. For ordinary people, it would be the entire body that would become active.
"You really have a big heart," Qin Muye didn't say much more. As long as Sun Zhen was confident, they could always rely on the main body if things went wrong.
"Still, don't be too complacent. Just because we've dealt with the synthetic beasts produced by the biological template at this time doesn't mean we're safe."
"Remember, the biological template is in a calm phase because it's in conflict with a certain anomaly, which is what gave us this opportunity."
Sun Zhen's expression was wary. In theory, the biological template was still engaged in a battle at this time.
A whale's cry echoed from the sky, casting a large shadow over their area.
"Alpha-Class Anomaly - Cloud Whale?" Sun Zhen looked up at the cloud layer in the sky, where a massive creature with a deep blue back and white-gray belly, resembling a common baleen whale, was floating.
"No wonder the biological template created such a large bear-type synthetic beast. It must have been to deal with the Cloud Whale."
Sun Zhen understood why he hadn't noticed it before. The Cloud Whale lived in the cloud sea.
"Fortunately, it's just a lone Cloud Whale. We can handle it. If it were a group of Cloud Whales, it would be an Omega-Class anomaly."
The Cloud Whale is a special type of anomaly, existing both in groups and as individuals. When in a group, it can cause extremely terrifying weather disasters. As an individual, it is less dangerous and more timid and docile, but without the special powers of the group, it can still be captured.
The previous group of Cloud Whales was contained in the Dragon Vein's Misty Sea, and there are also many lone individual Cloud Whales in the present world. As long as flying vehicles don't enter the Cloud Whale's cloud layer, there's generally no problem.
"I guess the biological template didn't kill the Cloud Whale but let it escape. Otherwise, we would have encountered a whale-type synthetic beast, not a bear-type one," Qin Muye was also surprised when he saw the Cloud Whale.
The Cloud Whale had quite a bit of flesh exposed, indicating that it had been driven out of its cloud layer by another anomaly and had taken a beating before being targeted by the biological template.
After all, a lone Cloud Whale is usually docile and timid and won't fight to the death unless it's cornered. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a massive whale.
"Get ready to attack. If necessary, kill it directly!" Sun Zhen summoned 108 bronze warriors. If the Cloud Whale showed signs of diving to attack them, they would attack without hesitation.
In the past, killing anomalies was not an option as it could lead to uncontrollable mutations and other issues. But now, they couldn't afford to be too cautious.
If it had to be killed, so be it. There was no need to consider the consequences. Even if there were any, once Qin Muye used the time-reversal pocket watch to return to the past, everything would no longer be a problem.
So, their safety should be the top priority. As long as they could return to the past and prevent this disaster, anything could be sacrificed for Sun Zhen.
The Cloud Whale let out several long cries, then charged down with a furious aura, as if it were making a final, desperate attack.
Under normal circumstances, if a Cloud Whale were to attack the ground, it would use a combination of diving and gliding to ensure it could return to the cloud layer after the attack to avoid being stranded. However, this Cloud Whale was now charging straight down, like a massive, fat mace, leaving no room for retreat.
Falling from such a great height, there was virtually no chance of survival.
Sun Zhen naturally had no objections to the Cloud Whale's suicidal attack, but the problem was that it was charging directly at them. If it hit them directly, there would be nothing left but fragments.
There was no time to escape; the massive impact would likely turn everything around them into a pile of debris.
‘How did the biological template deal with this Cloud Whale’s attack before?’
Clearly, prior to this, the biological template had defused the crisis and prevented the Cloud Whale from successfully impacting. By handling all the synthetic beasts and gaining control of the biological template, they had altered the course of events.
Sun Zhen was sweating profusely; if it were a normal attack, they might have had a chance to counter, but a suicidal attack left them with no means of resistance.
"Quick, blow that fish to pieces!!!" Qin Muye shouted from the side. He had already contacted his main body, and if things got out of hand, he would directly summon the mechanical deity from the moon to crush the Cloud Whale, to prevent his plan from going awry.
Sun Zhen also reacted quickly, pulling out a miniature sonic missile the size of a button from his backpack. He exerted all his strength, causing his skin to crack and tear, and then forcefully threw the missile.
The next moment, the 108 bronze warriors pulled him back, forming a wall of copper to protect the two of them.
The sonic missile exploded, and the invisible sound waves instantly turned into blades that pierced through the Cloud Whale's body. The flesh was shredded, the organs turned to mush, and even the hollow whale bones scattered into fragments.
When it hit the ground, it created numerous craters, and even the bronze warriors showed signs of damage similar to the ground.
"Is it dead?" Qin Muye asked, feeling no movement outside.
Sun Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It should be dead, the impact was significant."
The bronze warriors quickly moved aside, revealing the surrounding area, which was a scene of devastation. The ground was covered with blood, flesh, and bone fragments, like a hell on earth.
"Close call, just a little bit more, and you wouldn't have used that thing," Qin Muye complained.
"This is a strategic weapon, and I only have one of these. I got it from the previous base; otherwise, I wouldn't have it on me," Sun Zhen explained. He had never used it before, but since Qin Muye said to turn it into meat paste, he used the strongest weapon he had.
"Black tech, just a button-sized device, and it turned a nearly three-kilometer-long Cloud Whale into meat sauce." Qin Muye was impressed by the black tech of the Universal Defenders Organization. This thing was as advanced as a matchbox-sized nuclear fusion device.
"Right, there are even stronger ones, but I don't have them," Sun Zhen said, feeling helpless. He only had one of these.
As for going back to the base to get more? That was impossible. At this time point, the one in the nearby base was the one Sun Zhen just used. In the same time point, only the one in his anchor point counted; otherwise, they would have two biological templates.
Don't think about exploiting time paradox bugs; fundamentally, this is the temporal drag of the anchor point.
However, while this time point is not possible, the next one is.
After he used it, the anchor point disappeared, and the miniature missile would still be in the nearby base.
Whether they could get it again was another matter, considering they would encounter the Cloud Whale if they went back. The Cloud Whale was dead now, but it was still alive yesterday.
Once the biological template disappeared, the Cloud Whale would likely reappear. So, they could only move forward to a time point half a month ago, which might allow them to avoid this Cloud Whale.
