Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

"Are they crazy?"

Amid the violent shaking, several people clung to whatever was anchored to the ground, praying with trepidation that the underground fortress would not collapse.

Fortunately, Stark did spend a lot of money to build this laboratory, and even with the nuclear explosion caused by a nuclear weapon, this underground fortress, buried nearly 100 meters underground, ultimately withstood the attack.

Once all the commotion subsided, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the others slowly raised their heads in fear, staring blankly at the now chaotic room.

All the images turned into static like snowflakes, and the ground was a mess.

The electromagnetic shock generated by a nuclear explosion is comparable to a super EMP, and it is almost devastating to electronic components. That is why Stark's Fortress had electromagnetic shielding.

Otherwise, the losses would be even more terrifying.

"****!"

Stark came out, rubbing his hair in frustration:

"Because of the recent tremor, many things are out of place! We have to start over."

“Stark, do they know your lab specifications?”

Li Xia suddenly asked.

"They should have known that such a large-scale transfer of funds and project wouldn't escape their surveillance..."

Stark abruptly raised his head, his eyes gradually turning serious:

"what do you mean--"

"Yes, it's obvious they know that nuclear weapons can only affect your lab, not destroy it."

If they want to destroy it, they just need to keep using bunker buster bombs.

Knowing they couldn't be destroyed, they still used them for one purpose only: to trap them underground and buy time for Skynet to mobilize its forces.

And they wiped out all the surveillance cameras they had set up outside.

Their real goal wasn't destruction, but the people inside the lab.

Li Xia turned and walked outside:

How long will it take you?

"At least half an hour!"

"it is good."

Everyone realized what he was going to do and stood up abruptly:

"Xia, are you crazy? This is hell outside!"

Even if the environment outside is relatively clean, the nuclear radiation of a hydrogen bomb decays much faster than that of an atomic bomb; it doesn't mean that there is no radiation immediately.

Moreover, the outside was the epicenter of the nuclear explosion, where temperatures still remained at several thousand degrees, and the surrounding soil had been completely jade-like, like a high-temperature furnace.

Even the legendary hell is nothing more than this.

"They've arrived."

Countless cooling bombs rained down from the sky, sending thick steam billowing into the air.

Immediately, a huge transport plane stopped in mid-air, and the hatch opened, from which robots completely different from the previous mass-produced models jumped down.

Their movements were incredibly fluid, their blue eyes appearing and disappearing in the steam, as they raced toward the underground fortress whose dark passages had already been revealed.

Just as they were about to jump out of the tunnel, a blinding flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the lead robot was suddenly thrown backward.

The dark blue pupils immediately focused on it, only to see that the robot, which contained trace amounts of vibranium, had been pierced through by a long spear.

Li Xia appeared at the cave entrance, extending a hand. Night Silence buzzed as it bounced back into his hand. He glanced at the robots around him.

The figure vanished in the next second, and the robot's eyes immediately turned a blinding red, with sharp blades popping out from its arms.

clang!

With a crisp sound, the overlapping blades and body were easily sliced ​​in two, the cuts exceptionally smooth, as if they were meant to be.

When faced with metallic creations, Night Silence, imbued with the essence of gold, displayed unparalleled dominance.

Even though these robots were the toughest that Skynet could create, they were still as soft as tofu, and were pierced by that long spear in just a moment.

Li Xia stood at the entrance of the passage, holding a gun in one hand. Beneath his feet was the still-hot, glass-like ground. Behind him was the only underground entrance, while in front of him was a continuous torrent of steel.

The second batch of transport planes has arrived, a dark mass suspended in mid-air, with all the cabin doors open, and hundreds and thousands of elite combat robots raining down.

On the ground, more heavy combat units are emerging from the smoke and dust in the distance.

Skynet is indeed still continuously mobilizing its forces; it's unclear where these robots were previously hidden.

Li Xia's gaze swept over the tracked heavy artillery mechs, the robots over three meters tall, and the unmanned combat vehicles equipped with multi-barreled cannons, densely covering the entire scorched earth. As far as the eye could see, there was only the cold metallic luster, like a steel tide.

The drones hummed loudly in the sky, seemingly unaffected by any residual electromagnetic interference.

Independent thinking nodes plus a core Faraday cage?

The red dots being aimed converged, forming a huge spot of light.

All the robots' eyes turned red, the roar of machine guns was mixed with the salvo of missiles, and countless streaks of fire streaked across the sky, crashing down towards the entrance of the passage.

A metal storm covered an area of ​​hundreds of meters, with dense munitions tearing through the air with a piercing shriek.

Three feet away, flames exploded, thick smoke billowed, and the shockwave of the explosion swept across with high-temperature air waves, but dissipated inch by inch around him.

Skynet is dead.

Li Xia waited no longer, and with a flick of his wrist, the Night Silence Spear emitted a clear and melodious hum.

His figure vanished from his spot, and a white crescent blade swept out, causing heavy mechs and unmanned vehicles behind him to pause in their wake.

Smooth, mirror-like cuts spread across the metal body, and the upper half of the body slowly slid off.

Before the robots on the right could turn their cannons around, Li Xia's figure had already appeared above their heads.

He gripped the gun in one hand and brought it down heavily from above, tearing the air apart with a terrifying whistling sound, as if it had been split open and surged wildly to both sides, creating a huge storm.

The moment the spear struck the ground, the earth cracked open, and a trench tens of meters long rapidly spread forward. The robots on both sides of the trench were crushed as if by an invisible force, their metal shells instantly dented and twisted, turning into balls of fire.

The drones in the air, like a swarm of bees, dispersed in mid-air, their loaded machine guns and rocket pods spraying out wildly.

Li Xia looked up and stretched out her finger.

A pencil-thick beam of light shot from the tip of the index finger, like random scribbles, sweeping back and forth in mid-air.

The drones that were hit by the light exploded instantly.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The continuous explosions echoed through the air, and metal parts, sparks flying, rained down like a shower of scalding metal.

The robots on the ground continued to rush in, showing no fear, but simply following their programmed course, attempting to overwhelm their target with sheer numbers.

However, quantity is meaningless in the face of absolute power.

Li Xia strolled forward leisurely, casually wielding his spear.

The slashes spread out from him like splashes of ink, and these crescent-shaped slashes sometimes flew for several kilometers before slowly dissipating.

Each slash acted like rubber, clearing a path through the robots covering the ground like harvesting wheat.

The flames from the explosion stretched out behind him, yet they didn't even touch the hem of his clothes;

There was no enemy capable of a single blow, no unit that could withstand him for even a moment. Those combat robots that were a disaster for human armies were no different from paper in his hands.

Night Silence, imbued with the sharpness of gold, could cut through any metal as easily as slicing tofu.

A feeling arose in Li Xia's heart, a feeling called boredom.

Mowing the lawn can be very stress-relieving, but constantly mowing the lawn can feel like a mechanical and uninteresting activity.

At this moment, he felt an even stronger urge to return to the void and see those formidable enemies.

Li Xia stopped and stood in the center of the battlefield.

Looking around, all that could be seen were the fallen metal wreckage. Broken mechs, shattered tanks, and twisted cannon barrels covered the ground, interspersed with charred marks and lingering flames, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of molten metal.

It took no more than five minutes in total.

The thousands of robots that rushed in were all reduced to scrap metal.

In the distance, transport planes continued to arrive, indicating that Skynet was still increasing its forces.

Li Xia looked up, frowned slightly, and slowly raised her left hand, palm down.

As the true qi circulated within his body, a silvery-white halo shone from his entire body, and a bright disc radiating four-colored light appeared behind his head.

The halo grew stronger and stronger, eventually transforming into a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

The next second, his figure appeared in mid-air, and he gently pressed his palm downwards.

"boom--!!!"

An invisible, immense force emanated from him and spread outwards in all directions.

The ground instantly caved in several meters, the hard, glassy surface cracked layer by layer, and the nearby metal debris was instantly crushed into a disc.

The transport planes in the air seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, their fuselages emitting a metallic twisting sound as they were unable to bear the weight, and then they exploded one after another with "bang bang bang", turning into huge fireballs that fell from the sky.

A visible shockwave swept across an area of ​​nearly one kilometer, crushing all robots, mechs, and tanks into scrap metal wherever it passed.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and the earth trembled violently. From high above, a huge handprint was clearly visible on the ground.

The breakthrough at the pinnacle of skill is never just about affecting one skill; it is the core of Li Xia's skill system.

Its breakthrough affects all techniques that extend from this core.

Even in the hands of ordinary naval personnel, the Finger Pistol from the Six Styles of the Navy can only fire bursts of energy.

In Rob Lucci's hands, it became the Six Kings Spear.

In Li Xia's hands, this is how he releases his own energy outward, condensing it into a terrifying attack that is almost tangible.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the gust of wind whipped up by the palm strikes in the center of the battlefield made clothes flutter, and within a radius of several kilometers, there was not a single combat unit left standing.

He looked up and gazed into the distance, where Skynet troops were still present, but they had stopped advancing.

Clearly, in Skynet's calculations, the original plan to wear them down by sheer numbers had completely failed.

So what will happen next?

Li Xia suddenly became curious, given that conventional forces and the last resort, nuclear weapons, were of little use.

What is Skynet planning to do?

Chapter 14 Ending the Skynet

Suddenly, a series of densely packed points of light appeared on the distant horizon.

If Li Xia hadn't had exceptional eyesight, he might not have even seen those faint bright spots in the sky.

In the secret laboratory below, the alarm system connected to the Stark backdoor was blaring frantically.

The dim red lights flickered, instantly bringing the atmosphere inside the fortress to a freezing point.

"Warning: Nuclear Missile Launched!"

A mechanical female voice, similar to the nuclear alarm in Red Alert, kept repeating itself.

Several people rushed to the old-fashioned monitoring equipment that resembled an oscilloscope. These bulky and clumsy devices, built with vacuum tubes, were a testament to Stark's meticulousness to the extreme.

With just one glance, Black Widow and Barton turned deathly pale, as countless red dots rapidly approached the screen.

Rhodes' eyes widened, and even his voice trembled:

"They...they launched hundreds of nuclear missiles at us?"

The storage and launch of nuclear weapons are two completely different concepts. These hundreds of nuclear bombs may very well be all the nuclear weapons that Skynet can immediately deploy.

This is commonly known as the 'Dead Hand System', which is on standby 24/7.

"Not just nuclear weapons... but also the GBU-57, a super bunker-buster missile!"

Black Widow clearly knew more about these things than Rhodes, the former officer:
