Chapter 3317: Untitled
Space quakes were the worst disasters that human beings had ever experienced in the sea of stars.
To this day, the astronomers and the spiritual energy scientists still didn’t understand what the so-called ‘space quakes’ were. They could only give a vague definition—it was like an earthquake that destroyed an entire city, overturned a mountain, and triggered a tsunami. It was just an ‘earthquake in space’.
When an earthquake struck, the stable three-dimensional universe would be riddled with holes. It would be extremely fragile and could expand, twist, or collapse at any moment.
The space ripples that swept over thousands of soldiers spread out like a deadly tide.
Any living creature or man-made object that encountered such a space-distorted tide would be annihilated.
It was like the splendid palace of the four-dimensional space had suddenly collapsed. The debris and debris turned into a torrent of destruction and poured into the three-dimensional universe. It was an unavoidable catastrophe.
Space quakes were similar to four-dimensional storms.
However, a four-dimensional storm would only rage in the four-dimensional space. As long as one was vigilant during a space jump and dealt with it carefully, there was a good chance that one could survive it.
There was not the slightest sign that a space quake was coming. Even the most stable space could turn into a twisted hell in the blink of an eye.
If there had to be a signal, the alternating red and blue colors might be the only sign that a space quake was coming.
From the flashing of red and blue lights to the real appearance of a space quake, it was usually only a few seconds later!
No wonder the gold-threaded fish was so anxious. Spatial quakes were indeed the reapers who reaped everything. Life, non-life, material, and energy, none of them could get away from them.
Through the 3D light beam, Peipei could clearly see that behind the shoal of Gold Line Fish, the red and blue lights had twisted into a giant swirl, which seemed to have generated a strong attraction force and swallowed all the Gold Line Fish.
However fast the Gold Line Fishes were fleeing, it was impossible for them to compete with the swallowing force of the red and blue swirl, because the swirl was swallowing the space directly and tearing the entire space where the Gold Line Fishes were. The Gold Line Fishes turned into scattered fireflies and were extinguished instantly.
The remaining Gold Thread Fish were even more terrified. Their fleeing speed suddenly increased by a level.
But the faster they were, the shorter the distance between them and the red and blue swirls was. It was a contradictory and weird feeling.
Very soon, most of the Gold Line Fish were swallowed by the red and blue swirls.
The red and blue swirls also released terrifying tentacles that swept across all the celestial bodies in the space zone.
The stone belt was cut in half by the red and blue swirls. Very soon, it turned into a torrent of helixes. The meteoroids accelerated, rubbed, and crashed into each other in the space distortion, raising dazzling brilliance that looked like a burning river.
The splendid nebula fell into the bloody mouth of Kong Zhen, too, with stripes and ripples that looked like wriggling earthworms. It was like a giant that had been mired and struggled futilely. In the end, it was torn into pieces, and the pieces fell into the void between the three-dimensional world and the four-dimensional world.
Then, it was the human starships’ turn.
“Retreat at full speed!”
The commander shouted desperately on the flagship.
Before he exclaimed, many starships had already changed their direction and set off dazzling exhaust flames at full speed.
The experienced crew members even canceled the interference system of the spiritual shield and the force field on their own, because they would be killed even if they activated 1000% of their spiritual shield when they were captured by the airwaves. Therefore, they might as well cancel the spiritual shield and pour all their spiritual energy into the engine so that they could run as fast as possible!
Even so, they were still affected by the space collapse.
The entire unknown space zone had turned into boiling oil, and their starships were like peanuts in the boiling oil that could be blown into smithereens by the unexpected bubbles at any moment.
In some places, the space was expanding rapidly. The starships of human beings seemed to be torn apart by invisible hands and stretched into weird metal noodles.
In some other places, the space suddenly shrank. The starship seemed to have hit an invisible wall and was crushed into piles of garbage or simply shrank. The body of the starship that was hundreds of meters long or even thousands of meters long would be crushed into metal lumps dozens of meters in diameter. It was not hard to imagine what would happen to the passengers trapped inside.
In some places, invisible gaps appeared in space, which cut the starships that passed by into pieces like thin yet tough metal threads. Then, they were swallowed by the exploding fireballs, and the passengers were doomed, too.
In less than twenty minutes, the fleet had lost one tenth of its starships and population.
The remaining starships and the passengers inside them were like dry leaves in a raging ocean or ants on dry leaves. They were dumbfounded and scared out of their wits in the face of the great power of the universe. The pride of the ‘spirit of all things’ was gone.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
All Peipei felt was that the medical starship she was on was tumbling as if it had lost control. The artificial gravity field was completely wrecked, and everything around her was floating.
Then, the cabin door that had been closed was opened automatically. Dangerous redness was beaming out of the pathway, indicating that they should abandon the starship immediately in an emergency.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
She didn’t know where the sound of metal twisting came from, but it sounded as if a rusty claw was lightly scratching Peipei’s skull. The girl was so scared that her blood was freezing.
The medical starship could collapse at any moment. She had to find the escape capsule before the starship was completely wrecked.
Explosions were everywhere on the pathway. Flames were everywhere. Scorching smoke was sizzling everywhere. Peipei could not go out just like that. The girl retreated to her room and took out a first aid kit from under her bed. She opened it and found a shining silver vacuum suit inside.
He put on the protective suit in a flurry and adjusted the power spur. Just as he was about to leave, his gaze suddenly froze.
The 3D light beam inside the room was miraculously functioning normally and showing her the situation around the medical starship.
Pepe saw a very familiar crimson tentacle.
It was Shanuya.
Shanuya swam close and opened her tentacles, blocking the space tide and the fleet of human beings!
The Void Hunter did not know that human beings had come to this place on purpose to kill it.
It faithfully carried out the mission that human beings had instilled in it since its birth. It tried its best to resist the various dangers in the universe and protect the lives and property of human beings.

Tomorrow and the day after, I’ll bring my son to the Water Paradise to play. It’s not convenient to bring a computer, so I’ll take two days off. Everyone, please understand!
Also, the new book is about to be released. We can add each other and study together. If everything goes well, it will be released in mid-September!
