Chapter 1369: Listen to the Symphony of Heaven and Earth
As He Huan turned and dashed out, the first spark of violent clashes erupted on the pier.
Countless tank fires erupted almost simultaneously from all directions around He Huan, with numerous shells aiming at a distant black figure suspended in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, smoke darkened the dim sky, obscuring the clouds. The faint trembling of the earth felt like the suppressed cry of a giant with its mouth covered.
Even without turning back, He Huan knew Lin Sanjiu had taken action.
A posthuman's retaliation was always unique. Before the real storm arrived, a small-scale tornado had already swept across the pier. Small-scale, relative to the entirety of nature, as He Huan ran amidst the raging storm that howled between heaven and earth, he almost got swept into the air several times. Once his feet left the ground, even he would lose half his life.
A cannonball, driven knocked back by some force, flashed across He Huan's field of vision, falling towards his left front. In the dim and smoky sky, several other similarly repelled cannonball shells scattered, ready to bloom into explosions in the formation.
"Do you still think she's pretending when she's fighting like this?" A man's voice sounded beside He Huan. "In my opinion, she's deliberately trying to destroy us!"
He Huan glanced at the speaker.
With the entire management office dispersed to search for Han Suiping, although he now had the authority to deploy two small teams, he was not exempt. However, after handing Wu Lun over to Director Li, he was assigned a 'partner,' who was driving a heavy motorcycle, following closely behind him.
He Huan had initially planned to say nothing, yet amidst the roaring engines, exploding shells, and howling storms, words just slipped out: "Do you think she's not resisting gently enough?"
Coincidentally, as he uttered these words, the sound of artillery suddenly faltered for a moment. The man couldn't help but glance at him when he heard those words, then quickly averted his gaze.
So imprudent.
For the next twenty seconds, neither of them said anything. When another gust of wind roared from afar, He Huan shouted to the man, "It's coming, accelerate!"
The man seemed slightly flustered, twisted the throttle with his right hand, and the motorcycle roared louder as it rushed past He Huan. In the instant it passed by him, He Huan grabbed its tail, leaping onto the back of the man before he could react; then, before the man could respond, he hugged his head with both hands and twisted it gently.
As he jumped off the motorcycle and continued running forward, the motorcycle, with its rider, toppled over, sweeping sideways and crashing into an armored transport vehicle, erupting into flames.
The distant tornado died down. He Huan had sensed it long ago; the storms unleashed by Lin Sanjiu were always temporary. A glance told him that the tornado wouldn't last.
But in war, anyone could die.
After presenting his credentials, He Huan rushed through the last barricade and temporarily escaped the Copper Harbor Pier, which had turned into a hell on earth. He then stopped on the nearby streets, abandoned by residents.
Though his words were articulate, He Huan had no idea where to find Han Suiping.
Having survived in the doomsday universe for so many years, there were very few times when He Huan felt such panic: not the fear of death, but more like the fear of living. He was like a wild beast in a thick fog, unable to see the way ahead; each step he took was driven by an instinct for survival. And the deeper he went into the fog, the more frightened he became of losing his way.

He leaned against the wall, trying to calm his breathing. Setting aside his scattered thoughts for now, he had to find Han Suiping - as for what to do after finding him, he would deal with it when the time came.
If I were Han Suiping, where would I hide? What would be my last resort? Was there any connection between the two?
That guy was clever, often finding solutions from unexpected angles; when Nu Yue forcibly stormed the launch base, the two must have been in contact. Then Han Suiping knew that breaking into the base by force would quickly raise alarms, but he still decided to do it with Nu Yue.
The reason why he wasn't afraid even after his communicator was seized.... Could it be in the satellite that was originally going to be launched?
He Huan's eyes lit up slightly, but then he furrowed his brows.
There was nothing unusual on the satellite; the employees at the launch base had already confirmed this. After the rocket was launched, the entire internal system of the base was locked down to prevent further manipulation by Han Suiping. So, after the satellite was successfully launched, Han Suiping was blocked outside and couldn't tamper with the base system anymore.
If he had previously issued commands through the internal system to send a distress signal directly into space, another problem would arise - where should the satellite send the signal?
In the vast universe, nobody knew where Lin Sanjiu's brother was. They decided to use communicators because their signals could find each other. Without a destination, the satellite signal would either scatter into space or have to return to the ground.
Return to the ground...
He Huan shook as if a fog had suddenly blown away. He knew Han Suiping's last resort and vaguely knew how to find his hiding place.
*
Even though it was pitch black, Han Suiping knew Lin Sanjiu had taken action.
The roaring and trembling from the direction of the Copper Harbor Pier engulfed the entire city. Due to martial law throughout the city, there wasn't even a single voice near where he was. He stared at the only narrow streak of light in the darkness, feeling the occasional tremors of the ground, enduring the various signals crashing around him like turbulent flows, holding his breath and waiting.
Countless fragmented signals that could be translated into language constantly flashed through his perception, but Han Suiping seemed oblivious. He felt like his entire consciousness had condensed into a detection tower - as long as the satellite transmitted the signal back to the ground, he could immediately capture it.
Discovering the communicator wasn't unexpected either. If it could smoothly launch into space, that would be the best scenario. However, if this step didn't work, he still had a way out: this method was dangerous and tortuous, his last resort. If this didn't work, Han Suiping would be at his wit's end.
Now, it seemed that no one had realized that he had tampered with a small part of the base system's internal commands earlier: the satellite that had just entered orbit was about to transmit the signal back to Han Suiping instead of to the command center for launch.
Once he received the downlink signal from the satellite, he would know its position and could establish a connection with it. Then, he could upload the special wavelength signal from the communicator to the satellite, using the satellite as a 'springboard' in space to send the signal where it needed to go.
Because the special wavelength signals between communicators could resonate and locate each other, theoretically, as long as the signal was sent out into space, it could find its recipient. To use an analogy, it was like two magnets separated by a wall; Han Suiping needed to throw one magnet onto the springboard to bounce off the wall, and then the other magnet should catch it.
However, this was his first attempt at such an operation, and he had no idea its likelihood of success. Moreover, there was a significant risk in doing so. If someone noticed his plan, they could track his location when the satellite signal was transmitted back.
Of course, everyone was at the point of risking everything, so worrying about his own safety was meaningless.
His right hand still looked like a dark green claw, reaching into the narrow strip of light in the darkness and acting as a receiving antenna. Han Suiping used his restored left hand to find the communicator and turn it on. Lin Sanjiu's voice soon rang out amidst the gunfire and storms, still clear: "Han Suiping?"
"How are you?" Han Suiping whispered in the darkness, lowering his voice. "Can you still hold up?"
Her breathing was heavy, almost as if she might collapse at any moment. While the black fog could mimic various abilities, it had a fatal flaw: it could only mimic one thing at a time. This meant that when Lin Sanjiu retrieved items from her card inventory, her physical body became as vulnerable as an ordinary person; when she restored her posthuman physical strength, she couldn't use evolved abilities.
"No problem," Lin Sanjiu replied through her gritted teeth. "I can hold out even if the firepower is increased tenfold."
"According to my estimation, the signal could come to me at any time," Han Suiping said, hastily repeating the action plan. "Be prepared. I will upload the signal you formed in the communicator to the satellite as soon as it comes here. At the same time, to confuse their sight, I will make your voice sound everywhere—"
A shiver suddenly interrupted his words as his claw extended into the light and air outside.
"The signal is here," Han Suiping couldn't control his volume anymore. "I'll establish the connection right now!"
Through the communicator, Lin Sanjiu's gasp of pain echoed—a sign that she had been hit when she lost concentration. However, she had clearly protected the communicator well.
The final step of this plan was about to begin. Han Suiping felt alternating waves of cold and heat, as if his entire life had been waiting for this moment and was now crystallizing. After this moment, everything would soon be revealed, whether the sea was wide open or the sky and the earth were all mute.
"One." He located the satellite.
"Two." He closed his eyes and trembled as he spoke.
"Three." Han Suiping gently exhaled the shape of the word.
Lin Sanjiu's roar, transmitted through the communicator, through the turbulent signal waves, through countless receivers and players, reverberated throughout the heavens and earth; in most of the city, from phones, radios, televisions... everywhere that could transmit sound waves, her voice echoed together.
She exerted all her strength, as if shaking her soul, before shouting, "Grand prize, I'm here!"
Moments later, this segment of Lin Sanjiu's voice signal jumped off the satellite and fell straight into the depths of the universe.
