Chapter 90: Chapter 90: I Thought You Were So Impressive

The Gemstone Hurricane is currently in the midst of its eruption period, which is extremely dangerous.

However, there is a very short and weak interval during the eruption period of the Gemstone Hurricane, an interval that vanishes in the blink of an eye.

If not for the data verification by the Gem Hurricane Storm Research Institute, Chen Qing wouldn’t dare to try such a dangerous method.

Sensing the energy fluctuations of the Gemstone Hurricane, Chen Qing quietly counted the seconds in her heart.

Chen Qing didn’t pin all her hopes on Duoluo’s sister; she turned to the survivors who were still on Sapphire Island.

If anyone on the island feared the damage to the protection shield device the most, it would certainly be the survivors.

They were different from the natives—among the natives, there could be some who harbored ulterior motives, but the survivors had no value to be tempted by the hidden masterminds.

Once the protective shield of Sapphire Island was broken, they wouldn’t be able to escape Sapphire Island at all.

In order not to die on Sapphire Island, the survivors wouldn’t lie.

Instead, they would cling to Chen Qing’s side and closely monitor any changes in the Gemstone Hurricane.

The strength of the survivors on Sapphire Island was slightly stronger than that of the ordinary civilians.

Perhaps they had some special treasures hidden up their sleeves.

After Chen Qing briefly informed the survivors about the current state of the protection shield, the survivors were prepared to commit murder if necessary to ensure that Chen Qing could safely complete the repairs.

One of the survivors, who had been following Zhao Fuli, named Zhang Xiaohong, even provided Chen Qing with a very interesting item.

At this time, indeed, there was strength in numbers.

[Sound Wave Scream Chicken (Special Creature Item): An incredibly annoying rooster that has been kicked out of its flock due to being overly noisy.

It emits a piercing, explosive squawk when it senses danger; the greater the danger, the louder it screams!

However, it is very weak, and it tastes quite good—chicken stew with mushrooms is its final fate.]

The item was very suitable for the current situation, but...

Chen Qing glanced at the clock; they didn’t have much time left, and there was no time to care about other things!

Zhang Xiaohong quickly traded the item to Chen Qing, and as soon as the chicken appeared before people, it immediately let out a crazy, piercing squawk.

The horrifying scream pierced through the protective shield device, carrying far and wide, assaulting all nearby residents with its sonic attack.

Its screams shattered all the glass windows of the buildings hidden within the protective shield device, growing increasingly intense as if there was no upper limit.

Duoluo, in pain, covered her ears, with blood trickling down from her earlobes.

She and Chen Qing were the most directly affected by the sonic attack; the Scream Chicken’s sonic attack was quite terrifying.

Chen Qing’s brows were tightly furrowed—the Scream Chicken’s screeching was indeed terrifying.

However, what was most terrifying was that its voice was still rising, suggesting that the danger level of the Gemstone Hurricane far exceeded their expectations.

But Chen Qing could do nothing at the moment; she had to concentrate all her attention on the Power Core, ready to replace it at any moment.

The Assistant Bees were also hovering around the Power Core, ready to work with Chen Qing to dismantle it as soon as she unleashed her spiritual power.

In the midst of the Scream Chicken’s relentless screeching, Duoluo could no longer hold on.

Even the other components of the protective shield couldn’t withstand the terrifying energy of the Gemstone Hurricane, and they began to crumble one by one from the outermost parts.

The first thing to go was the outer protective layer of the shield device, which broke into crystal-like fragments and fell to the ground.

But that wasn’t even the scariest part.

Just as Chen Qing concentrated all her heart on maintaining the protection shield device to prevent further disintegration, a shocking explosion occurred on the upper levels of the building housing the protective device!

The building concealing the protective shield device was blown open by a huge hole, exposing the entire device under the "sunlight."

Around the hole, several figures dressed in black robes appeared.

Chen Qing’s eyelashes trembled, and she lifted her head to look up at the large hole in the ceiling.

She met the eyes of the group of invaders, and they looked at Chen Qing with extreme arrogance, a cruel smile on their faces.

She was all too familiar with this method of explosion and its energy fluctuations.

It was the Mechanical Spider Bomb, sold by her own hands.

Survivors had also become involved in this rebellion.

Chen Qing’s gaze suddenly turned ice-cold; these people had no idea how long they had been eyeing the defense shield of Sapphire Island.

She wasn’t sure if the survivor who had given her this device had taken part in this operation.

"Yo, the two of you, good evening, no, I mean, good evening."

One of the invaders greets Chen Qing and Duoluo with a grin, with all the guards outside already killed by them.

Chen Qing didn’t pay any attention to those invaders; after giving them a fleeting glance, she continued to focus on the protective shield device.

The cries of the Screaming Chicken maintained at a certain decibel level and did not continue to rise.

Her awaited opportunity was about to arrive.

Chen Qing remained indifferent, her dismissive attitude instantly infuriating those invaders; their previously smiling faces now turned sinister.

"Damn it, these bastards!"

Speaking in a low voice, Duoluo recognized the identities of the black-cloaked individuals.

They were the infamous pirate hunters from the Deep Blue Sea, Cross Star!

These people weren’t hunters who hunted pirates, but rather pirate + hunters.

When they had no missions, they acted as pirates, looting and plundering, and when they had a mission, they became hunters.

This group of hunters had a fundamental difference from the likes of Huo Hou; Huo Hou and his people were gentle with the civilians, while these people...

Their missions were always accompanied by civilian bloodshed.

Cross Star’s favorite pastime was slaughter, whether it was civilians, pirates, hunters... all were their prey.

"Bastards?"

A member of Cross Star smirked sinisterly, as a rocket launcher appeared on his shoulder, its barrel aiming at the device and Chen Qing.

Chen Qing’s expression didn’t change whatsoever, even in the face of the massive threat from the Cross Star member, the Screaming Chicken’s cries remained constant, even showing signs of decreasing.

Now was the moment!

The Gem Hurricane Storm was brewing a new round of fierce tempest!

"Let’s see who’s going to end up as the real bastard today!"

Amidst the frantic cries of the Screaming Chicken, the Cross Star member didn’t hesitate to fire the rocket at Chen Qing!

Even if Duoluo wanted to block it, it was too late; the power of a Grade-B mechanical cannon was not something she could withstand!

Dense acrid smoke billowed, emitting an unpleasant stench.

The entire device area was leveled by the mechanical cannon; the instant it contacted a target, it detonated into myriad sharp fragments, shredding it completely and causing a massive explosion.

Not even a trace of debris would be left behind.

"This mission is too easy, isn’t it?"

A member of Cross Star sneered, thinking that Chen Qing was stronger than that.

One by one, dark figures jumped into the device room through the gaping hole that had been blasted open.

But...

"Huh?"
