Black Wind Gorge Valley

A gust of wind rushed in through the shattered windshield, making Lin Wei's hair fly wildly.

The violent jolts completely jolted her awake from the shock of surviving the ordeal.

Having escaped the brink of death, the rational center of the genius girl's brain begins a frenzied counterattack.

She stared intently at the plain-clothed boy beside her who was driving with one hand.

My gaze moved from his faded, coarse cloth shirt to his slightly childish yet icy profile, and finally fixed on his right hand resting on the rudder.

That hand was long and slender, fair-skinned, without even a thick layer of calluses.

This very hand shattered the special Titanium Alloy in ten seconds and tore apart Fourth Tier Biochemical Modified Human?

What kind of force field did you just use?

Lin Wei finally couldn't hold back any longer. Her speech was extremely fast, and her scholarly instinct to explore the unknown completely overwhelmed her awe. "Sound wave directional resonance? Or is it a high-frequency sound wave generator developed by the Third Base City? Impossible. Even if human muscle fibers have undergone four Genes leaps, their peak output cannot exceed 80,000 hertz. How can your bones withstand the resonance backlash?"

Chen Fan stared ahead, his gaze piercing through the swirling yellow sand and dust.

Each violent impact of the wheels rolling over the Wasteland boulders was neutralized by a subtle Taiji Hidden Force surging from his feet.

Deep within the Qi Sea, the Black-and-White Millstone slowly rotates.

The high-concentration radiation particles that rushed in through the broken car window were greedily swallowed into his meridians the moment they came into contact with his skin pores, stripping away the violent factors and turning them into nourishment for the Demon God Dao Embryo.

As for the incessant chatter around him, he heard no difference from the sound of the wind in the Wasteland.

Hey! Don't play dumb!

Seeing that Chen Fan didn't respond at all, Lin Wei anxiously shifted her body in the passenger seat, clutching the Secret Casket tightly with both hands, and leaned over to continue asking:

"And that swordsmanship! That wasn't Superpower flame or ion beam! What particles were those grayish-white gas streams made of? Why did the Poison Scorpion's lightning crystal core lose its charge the instant it made contact? This completely violates the second law of thermodynamics!"

"Are you even human? The Fourth-Generation Gene Enhancement Drug should still be in the theoretical stage. Did Doctor Chu secretly complete human cold core fusion? But there isn't a single radiation beacon from any mechanical implants on your body!"

A barrage of technical terms echoed in the cockpit like a machine gun.

Chen Fan didn't even blink.

His attention was diverted slightly to his left wrist.

There, a red Peace Knot tied with a cheap, thick rope.

The knot swayed slightly in the strong wind. In the Sea of Consciousness, the Dao Seed, symbolizing the Mortal World Karma of the mortal world, gently stretched its illusory roots with the help of the faint warmth from the wrist.

The hidden lock he left in the Third Base City is secure, and Chen Xi's life is not in danger.

"How could you be like this!"

Lin Wei talked until her throat was dry, but she didn't even get a single eye roll in return. She was so angry that her cheeks puffed up, like a squirrel with its fur standing on end.

As the youngest Level 2 researcher at the High-Energy Research Institute of the Second Base City, she was someone whom even Fourth Tier officers treated with utmost respect, seeking her advice on energy valve parameters. When had she ever received such cold treatment?

"If you don't want to talk to me, then don't. What's with the attitude..."

Lin Wei, then shrank back into her seat in annoyance. She picked up her tactical tablet and tried to build a model using mathematical formulas. "Dark energy macroscopic focusing effect... no, the kinetic energy attenuation coefficient is zero, this simply can't be calculated..."

With a brutal roar, the Worldbreaker tore a dusty path through the deathly silence of the Wasteland.

One hour later.

On the horizon ahead, a dark, sheer cliff suddenly rises abruptly.

That is the insurmountable barrier between the two Base Cities — Black Wind Gorge Valley.

The canyon is flanked by jagged rocks, and black hurricanes howl and rush through the hundred-foot-wide crevice, emitting a sharp sound like the howling of evil spirits.

The gale-force winds converged at the dark entrance to the canyon, forming a visible gray vortex.

The cliffs on both sides are hundreds of feet high, and the rock surfaces have been sintered by the high temperature left over from the nuclear explosion, resulting in a dark purple, Glazed Crystal texture.

A black hurricane swept through the narrow crevice in the rocks, emitting a wailing sound like the howling of tens of thousands of evil spirits.

The Geiger counter on the tactical instrument panel suddenly emitted a sharp, short beep.

Beep beep!

The value skyrocketed from 2,000 roentgens, and the indicator hit the red line, triggering a deep red severe overload warning.

"Slow down! Slow down now!"

Lin Wei, sitting in the passenger seat, was deathly pale. She clutched the Secret Casket containing the blueprints for the high-energy reactor tightly with both hands, while her other hand frantically pounded on the scorching hot center console.

She turned and shouted at Chen Fan, her eyes filled with terror. "This is Black Wind Gorge Valley! The forbidden zone between the Third Base City and the Second Base City! The radiation concentration inside is twenty times that of the outside!"

The Worldbreaker train did not turn at all.

The heavy drive wheel crushed the pile of rocks, the engine compartment spewed out thick black smoke, the roar grew more and more muffled, and the speedometer even dropped sharply to the right.

Are you even listening to me?!

Lin Wei was so anxious she almost stood up, her seatbelt taut. "The radiation environment here is completely out of control! It's teeming with Radiation Beasts!"

"They are not mutated wild beasts! They are aberrant mutants that have been soaked in highly concentrated nuclear waste! Their skeletons are entirely made of heavy metals, and their neural synapses lack pain receptors; they possess only the purest instincts of killing and devouring!"

Six months ago, a fully armed exoskeleton heavy-duty unit from the Second Base City, equipped with two near-ground Mecha, attempted to scout ahead. Less than three kilometers into the canyon, their radio signal was completely cut off within ten minutes! Not a single survivor escaped!

Lin Wei spoke rapidly, her chest heaving violently. As a genius from a top research institute, she Taiqing how deadly this narrow and enclosed canyon terrain could be.

Once trapped at both ends by a horde of heavily armored beasts, this severely damaged Land Cruiser Ship will be nothing more than a steel coffin.

"Take a detour! There's a salt flat on the west side of Black Wind Gorge Valley. Although it adds two hundred kilometers to the journey, at least it avoids the main radiation nest..."

"Shut up."

Chen Fan parted his thin lips slightly and uttered two cold words.

His gaze remained fixed on the deep canyon, his eyes expressionless, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.

With his left hand resting on the heavy Titanium Alloy steering wheel, the cheap red Peace Knot gently in the wind, and his right foot forcefully slammed the accelerator pedal into the floor!

Boom!

The thousand-ton Heavy Assault Land Cruiser let out a savage roar, its steel ram forcefully tearing through the swirling sand at the entrance, like a runaway hammer, crashing straight into the dark and deep canyon crevice.

The violent wind pressure poured in through the cracked windshield.

Lin Wei instinctively let out a short scream, closed her eyes tightly, and curled up in the passenger seat, her back pressed against the cold Alloy seat back, waiting for the excruciating pain of the crash and rollover.
