Chapter 326 Full Band Notice (12,000 explosions, monthly ticket requested)

At the moment of darkness, everyone seemed to be quiet at this moment, along with the movements of their hands and their breathing.

The lights on the entire combined train were turned off, and the convoy outside had locked the doors and windows and turned off the engines. The survivors hid in the small safe house inside the steel carriage, quietly listening to the sound of the wind and sand passing by.

Woohoo~

Woo~

The wind in the Gobi Desert seemed to never stop. The gravel hit the armor of the vehicle, making a rustling sound. All kinds of gasoline barrels and empty cans were pushed and rolled by the wind from the streets or wilderness of Aksai. In the distance, only the outline of continuous hills remained. Although they were in an open area, no one knew what would appear in the wilderness. Time seemed to stop at this moment.

Chen Sixuan sat down and leaned against Lin Xian, while Lin Xian was making a fully automatic bullet punching machine while using his mechanical heart to observe the situation outside through the train.

Because the train was rearranged today, the sand ants crossing the border was not what Lin Xian was most worried about. What he was most worried about was the insect legs hanging down from the sky. The terrifying power released like hell was difficult to resist even with steel armor.

He didn't know what kind of monster that thing was, but the oppressive force it exerted was definitely no less than that of the S-level black thorn sea urchin in Xilan City.

The survivors have long been accustomed to keeping quiet after nightfall, which is the most dangerous time of the day. Relatively speaking, if nothing happens in the first half of the night, the probability of an accident in the second half of the night will be much smaller. This is why the survivors dare to set off one or two hours before dawn. On the one hand, it is to seize the limited time for travel, and on the other hand, this time is often safer. Even if something goes wrong, dawn will come soon.

Lin Xian originally thought that tonight would be the same as last night, with sand ants passing through. However, after waiting for about twenty or thirty minutes, it was still extremely quiet outside. He and Chen Sixuan looked at each other in the dark, both of them a little surprised.

"It seems very quiet tonight."

"Wait a little longer." Lin Xian whispered, "If nothing happens in an hour, it means we should be safe tonight."

The silencing effect brought about by identifying the dark mark has a huge effect on the survivors. After coming out of Xilan City, their train has not been attacked by any strange creatures except ordinary zombies. The most dangerous moment was when they almost encountered the corpse driver when they came out of Yijin City.

"Each team should report the situation."

Lin Xian pressed the United Team channel and asked other teams.

"Nothing unusual." Shi Diyuan responded.

"Safe." Qian Dele also responded immediately.

"Nothing happened." Monica's voice appeared faintly.

"Captain Lin, everything is OK!" At this time, Hu Lushou's mean voice also sounded in the channel, and his tone was full of positivity.

Soon, all the joint convoys, including Dawn outside, Axel Brotherhood, and the Wind Walker convoy that was rescued from Brother J, also sent out messages to indicate that there was nothing unusual.

At this time, it was already more than an hour into the night. Lin Xian listened to the reports from all parties, felt relieved, and made the announcement immediately.

“Turn on the light!”

Tonight seemed to be another safe night.

As soon as the words fell, the captains of all the convoys in the joint channel breathed a sigh of relief and immediately announced that the convoys would turn on the lights. Soon, hundreds of carriages began to light up one after another. The light shone through the gaps in the sunshades onto the Gobi Desert outside the track. The entire joint train seemed to come alive.

At this time, personnel from each convoy began to move. Some made fires, cooked meals, counted supplies and celebrated today's harvest. Others prepared weapons in the carriages under the cover of night or exchanged combat skills with each other to deal with tomorrow's unknowns.

The Infinity side started to get busy, distributing weapons and ammunition. Luo Yang and Liang Lei led people to install arc pulse string vibrators and sentry monitoring systems outside the carriages at night. These were all made by Lin Xian in the afternoon in order to cover the entire train.

Shuqin and Lu Chang exchanged combat skills and experience in using power armor among the genetic evolvers in each carriage. Now almost the entire convoy has tactical-grade power armor, and they can send out a power armor coalition of hundreds of people with amazing power. However, many people are using this high-tech equipment for the first time. For this reason, even Shuqin and Lu Chang have to learn from the twin stars Amin and Luoluo. After all, their use and fluency of power armor are obvious to everyone.

With Liang Lei and Luo Yang, two assistants in mechanics and information, KIKI has become much more relaxed. Her main task now is to analyze Grace's system. At this time, she also walked into carriage 13 and saw Lin making a fully automatic bullet punching machine. She said, "It feels good to have enough manpower. Our train will soon become a fortress."

"It's not that simple." Lin Xian said with a smile.

Chen Sixuan on the side understood what Lin Xian meant, so she looked at KIKI helplessly: "I remember when we just left Beiwan Town, we obtained a large amount of supplies from Tang Hai. At that time, there were only three of us, including the newly joined Building Shasha, there were only five people. Those supplies were enough for us to eat for half a year and there was still room for us to eat, and we didn't have to worry about the water problem. Now we have wiped out a sand bandit alliance of a thousand people, but the supplies we obtained are only enough for us to drink water for a day and a half..."

KIKI's smile froze when she heard that, and she couldn't help but frown. She nodded and said, "If you calculate like that, you must be under a lot of pressure~"

Lin Xian said, "Food is not the most important thing. Water is the most important thing. Right now, the desert is dry. If we really can't drink water, that would be the most troublesome thing. So we can only hope that Phoenix will quickly develop technology that can resist and filter the invasion of darkness in the water, otherwise all mankind will not be able to survive for even a year."

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a way." Upon hearing this, KIKI encouraged Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan, "What's wrong with you two? You don't even have confidence in us. Have you forgotten that humans are also evolving? As long as we can adapt to the power of the dark invasion, it will actually speed up our evolution!"

Lin Xian paused when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That makes sense."

“Hehe~”

At this time, Ning Jing's voice came from the communication band: "Captain Lin, we have already checked all the people we rescued. They are all convoys that have encountered bandits in the no-man's land recently. They are basically small convoys that were targeted by the bandits. The longest one stayed here was 6 days. We guess that the bandits will take the prey away and sell it every week or so, both men and women, young and old."

Lin Xian nodded: "These people should be valued according to their peak Dangling Value data. They should be used for research on supernatural human bodies, or for some other purpose?"

Lin Xian now told the team leaders about Lao Mo's situation and his guesses. When they learned that Lao Mo and others had actually rushed into the Western Gobi Desert from the Wei River, everyone was a little surprised. These team leaders were relatively familiar with the road conditions and regional conditions, and they all knew that it was impossible to drive such a long distance in one night, not to mention that it was in the fog of the polar night.

"This is too weird. Could it be that they were swept here by some monster in the Star Abyss, or is there some weird thing like time and space in the Star Abyss?" Shi Diyuan said with a puzzled look on his face.

"To rush into the Western Gobi Desert overnight, unless their vehicles are equipped with plasma pulse thrusters..." Qian Dele also said lightly.

Monica held a red wine glass and said in a stern tone: "Since it's not my fault, then it must be something strange in Xingyuan. There are still many strange things we haven't seen so far. But since the old Mo and his group mentioned by Captain Lin are alive, they should not have encountered a weird body, but something... even weirder."

After this was said, many people agreed. In the Star Abyss, if they encountered a strange creature head-on, it would be impossible for Lao Mo and his team to survive with their configuration. However, they had rushed out of the darkness and had not been marked with the dark mark. This was enough to show that the situation they encountered could not be simply explained by monsters.

"Old Hu, tell me about your situation." Thinking of this, Lin Xian directly called Hu Lushou.

Hu Lushou was lying on the sofa in his luxury RV, listening to everyone's conversation. When he heard Lin Xian calling him, he immediately sat up and said solemnly, "Uh, Captain Lin, the Tieli team you mentioned, are they two all-terrain heavy-duty RVs?"

"right."

Hu Lushou's eyes narrowed. "Then I remember, I did see these two cars in the convoy before it got dark. At that time, I thought the modifications of those two cars were very cool..."

Knowing how important Lin Xian was to this matter, Hu Lushou did not dare to be vague and immediately told him the details of what he had encountered before.

"At that time, we were on the route from the Wei River to the Silent City. There were dozens or even hundreds of convoys along the way. I thought that following this big guy would definitely give me some support along the way."

Hu Lushou was not the only one who thought so. In fact, all the convoys at that time had the same goal - to follow Silent City to Jinhai!

The safety factor of such a huge convoy was more or less guaranteed, not to mention there was a mobile mechanical city. But with the arrival of night, all positioning instruments and even compasses lost their function. Coupled with the attack of a large number of strange entities, many convoys were in a panic. Even the Silent City where they were parked started to move urgently between the mountains. As a result, all the convoys began to flee frantically in panic, using the mobile mechanical city as the coordinate system.

But the electromagnetic cannons of the Silent City roared all night long, and hundreds of convoys also rushed all night long, but dawn had not yet arrived. Most of the convoys had been killed or injured, and the night was filled with despair.

Hu Lushou didn't know where his convoy had driven into the deep mountains and forests. There was no direction, no road signs, and everyone was shrouded in an increasingly thick fog.

The night poured down like the sticky asphalt, and the fog oozed out from the cracks in the ground like a living thing. Hu Lushou, who was hiding in the car at the time, had a deathly pale face. He seemed to hear intermittent whistle sounds coming from afar, but that was definitely not the whistle of a ship. It was more like the groaning of some gigantic coelenterate as its internal organs contracted in the mucus. The moonlight in the sky outside the window had long been distorted into a morbid blue-gray color, as if it was shining through the decayed corpse of a jellyfish 100 million years ago.

Even now, Hu Lushou felt a chill when recalling it. That night, they seemed to have strayed into the depths of the abyss, into a world like hell. Whenever he looked out the window, his retina would feel a burning pain, as if countless rusty steel needles were piercing his cerebral cortex along his optic nerve. Outside, huge, wriggling black shadows as huge as mountains dissolved and reassembled in the fog, occasionally revealing a limb covered with coral-like bone spurs, or half a face made up of rotten petals and gears, making it difficult to tell what was real or fake.

So Hu Lushou could only frantically urge the convoy to increase the speed and drive forward. Under such torturous and bumpy conditions, the Fu Lushou convoy miraculously broke out of the fog. When the scorching sun came down, Hu Lushou discovered that he and Sun Chang had appeared in the western Gobi Desert, and most of his convoy had been destroyed.

Fortunately, his convoy still had enough supplies and manpower. However, just when Hu Lushou thought he could make a comeback, he encountered the sand bandits again...

"So many convoys all lost their way in the polar night, this is too weird..." After listening to Hu Lushou's words, Qian Dele couldn't help but wonder: "North of Longjiang is Luling Forest and Haiqu City. Even if they entered that primeval forest, it is impossible to come out and reach the Western Gobi Desert."

"Yes, to enter the Western Gobi Desert, one has to cross hundreds of miles of hills and canyons. It is impossible to drive through there randomly," said Shi Diyuan.

"Could it be possible that you have entered a wormhole in time and space?" Monica asked jokingly.

Lin Xian glanced at Chen Sixuan and KIKI at the side. If it was just Hu Lushou, Lin Xian would definitely think he was exaggerating. However, the situation described by Lao Mo and Sun Yuzhen was similar to that of Hu Lushou. The appearance of their convoy in the Western Gobi Desert was enough to prove that what Hu Lushou said was true. This made Lin Xian have to believe that Hu Lushou and Lao Mo and his group had encountered some kind of supernatural phenomenon...

"This may give us a warning." Lin Xian said in a serious tone: "That is, Star Abyss No. 5 has become extremely unstable, and the Phoenix Society's Star Abyss monitoring situation may be out of control..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the frequency band fell silent.

The Phoenix Society's estimate of one year and 96 days is already a conservative estimate. If what Lin Xian said is true, then everyone may not have much time left.

Lin Xian thought about it and said, "There's no point in guessing any further. Let's all rest and gather our strength tonight. Let's set off directly two hours before dawn tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Everyone agreed with this proposal. Now it's not only a problem of water resources, but also the No. 5 Star Abyss behind them has shown unusual movements. In this case, it is best to cross the no-man's land and enter Quancheng as soon as possible. All other worries are meaningless.

After communicating with each team, Lin Xian used the intercom to briefly communicate the situation with the key members of Infinity. At this time, the fully automatic bullet punching machine had also been completed by him. The brand-new industrial machine tool was located in carriage No. 13, which was quite spectacular.

After that, Lin Xian only needs to make a few sets of raw material conveyor belts, use PX-05 robots to control them, and then convert the primer materials, metal plates, bullet cores, propellants and other raw materials into them. If the efficiency is not enough, he will add two more robots. In this way, his bullet manufacturing only needs to preset a specification and quantity requirement for the robot, and it can be manufactured 24 hours a day. The only constraints are electricity and devouring materials.

Electricity is not a problem at the moment. As for devouring materials, Lin still has a lot of them in Yijin City. They were all prepared for laying tracks, so it is not a problem at the moment.

After finishing it, Lin Xian stood up and saw this large industrial machine tool. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Finally, I've accomplished something important. I don't have to use my hands to rub the ammunition one by one..."

Although rubbing the ammunition by hand was a small matter for Lin Xian, it consumed too much of his time, and the ammunition was definitely consumed faster than he could produce it, making him almost become a mechanical matrix.

It took Lin Xian about 4 hours to make a fully automatic bullet punching machine. Now there were people on guard in each carriage and weapon station at night. Lin Xian hurriedly ate something and drank some water, then returned to carriage No. 1 to prepare for sleep.

The last time he slept was after he fell into a coma in Xilan City. Then he was in Yijin City, and he didn't even close his eyes before entering the Western Gobi Desert. He fought a big battle during the day, and continued to create in the afternoon until now. He was completely exhausted. Lin Xian even felt a little dizzy, so he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Click, click.

In the darkness, Lin Xian seemed to be able to hear the sound of the second hand of his watch, but the problem was that he was wearing an electronic watch, so there should be no sound.

When I opened my eyes, the light was blinding and there was a bright corridor in front of me.

The corridor was very clean and seemed to be in a research institute. It was unclear whether it was above ground or underground, but Lin Xian always felt that this corridor seemed vaguely familiar.

Lin Xian looked at his hands. The surroundings had a very strong sense of reality, but his subconscious told him that he was definitely not really in this place.

The corridor was extremely quiet. Lin Xian looked around and saw no one. At this moment, he saw a sign in front of him, which might tell him where this place was.

But just as Lin Xian took a few steps forward, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from the corner in front of him. The footsteps came from far away and it seemed that there was more than one person. He subconsciously felt that he could not stand here stupidly, but just as he was about to move, the door of a room next to him suddenly opened, a hand reached out and suddenly pulled him in, and then closed the door.

Click, click.

The next second, a group of people appeared from the corner and then quickly passed by where Lin Xian had just stood.

Inside the room, the lights were dim, and Lin Xian was being held behind the door with his mouth covered. He looked around and saw an "old acquaintance" in front of him.

Chu Yan.

She was dressed like a scientific researcher, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, with short, neat hair, bright eyes and clear teeth. If it weren't for those cold eyes, Lin Xian would have thought she was a researcher.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Xian shrugged: "This is the same question every time I open my mouth. I still want to know."

"No, this time is different."

Chu Yan looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, then said coldly: "Help me."

"What?"

"Follow me, don't wander around."

After saying that, Chu Yan opened the door and walked quickly outside. Lin Xian frowned and followed quickly.

Looking at Chu Yan walking quickly in front of him, Lin Xian suddenly became suspicious. This was the first time he had physical contact with this woman, but the logic didn't make sense. It stood to reason that he was not really here, so it was impossible for him to have this kind of touch.

But the scene at this moment was so real that Lin Xian even subconsciously tried to operate the mechanical heart.

The operation was successful, but strangely, the light curtain of the Mechanical Heart did not appear in front of him.

Strange...

"Where are you going?"

Lin Xian watched Chu Yan quickly lead her to the end of the corridor, and then quietly opened the door of an office. The interior was luxuriously furnished, and it seemed that the owner of the office was of high status.

Chu Yan didn't say anything, but went straight to the computer in the office and operated something quickly.

"Are you stealing?"

"Yes." Chu Yan responded directly.

Lin Xian was surprised. Who on earth was Chu Yan? How could she steal information like a spy? He walked over slowly and looked at a nameplate on the table. He frowned immediately.

"Julius Lit..."

"This name seems very familiar."

"I... don't know much. My husband brought me here. This organization is very mysterious. The highest-ranking person here I have ever seen is a white man named Julius Litt, who looks to be in his 40s. He was the one who told us about the characteristics of the mycelium network here and took us to experience the hallucination spores. As for the rest..."

All of a sudden, memories came flooding back, and he remembered the sign he saw in the corridor when he was following Chu Yan just now - [5F, Core Testing Area]. His face changed immediately.

Chu Yan, who was busy, looked up at Lin Xian's expression, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.

“Very clever.”

Lin Xian's face was full of disbelief: "No, that's not right. The fifth underground floor of Crimson Pharmaceuticals has long been covered by mycelium. Didn't those people evacuate?"

When Chu Yan heard this, her fingers that were tapping the keyboard also stopped.

"Have you been here?"

"You didn't know I was here?" This time, it was Lin Xian's turn to be stunned. He immediately said, "Didn't you remind me that the corpse chasers from Star Abyss No. 5 appeared in this area during the last tidal cycle, and suggested that we stay underground to rest and wait for the next mycelium active cycle to leave?"

Chu Yan's face flashed with confusion when she heard this. She looked at Lin Xian: "What are you talking about? Didn't we meet in Yubei City last time?"

"etc!"

Lin Xian was shocked and asked immediately: "How many times have we met?"

"Does this count?"

"Calculate."

“Four times.”

Lin Xian looked puzzled: "Twice in the shelter in Jiang City, once in Yubei, and once now. Are you sure we haven't seen him anywhere else?"

"No." Chu Yan glanced at him and said lightly.

"So where exactly is this place..."

Bang bang bang!

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden gunshot at the door. Chu Yan's fingers moved faster, as if she had gotten what she wanted. She stood up immediately and said, "Follow me."

Lin Xian looked back and saw that the office door was pierced with countless bullet holes and a group of people were preparing to break in.

“Who’s in there?”

"Security! Catch them!"

A man was roaring.

At this time, Chu Yan came to a corner of the office and moved a mechanism familiarly. The bookcase actually opened a secret door, and then she walked directly in. Seeing this, Lin Xian immediately followed.

The two of them quickly came out of a hidden passage, one after the other, and then came to a bright and wide corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was a large elevator.

Lin Xian remembered this corridor. After he and KIKI and his team experienced the giant hallucinatory fungus in the lobby of the Crimson Pharmaceutical Center, they went down to this floor through this elevator. When the elevator door opened, the entire corridor was covered with mycelium vines. They went all the way to the underground platform and found the Zero Element Center through the underground rail train.

At this time, Lin Xian was running after Chu Yan, his thoughts racing through his mind.

Could it be that he traveled through time and space and came to the time before Yijin was covered by mycelium?

Why does Grace at the Zero Element Center have a holographic face of Chu Yan, and remind him of the information of the corpse chaser?

Why could he meet Chu Yan? Isn’t he on Infinity now?

All the questions, like a twisted ball of muddy asphalt, swirled in Lin Xian's mind.

Bang bang bang!

At this time, there was a hail of bullets coming from behind. Lin Xian subconsciously opened the AT force field shield to the back, but there was nothing. He could only bend down to avoid the bullets and accelerated towards the elevator.

bite!

The elevator opened, and Chu Yan and Lin Xian quickly ran in and hid on both sides of the elevator door. In the corridor, a group of armed men were shooting wildly at the elevator. Behind these people followed a tall and thin middle-aged white man with a stern face. As expected, this person should be Julius Litt, a senior figure in the Zero Element Center.

Wow~

At the critical moment, the elevator door finally closed and the gunshots outside stopped abruptly.

Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief, while Chu Yan, who was standing next to him, had a calm expression on her face. She quickly took off her research coat and glasses, revealing a black action suit. Surprisingly, Chu Yan's arms and legs were all mechanical prostheses, and she even took off her wig, revealing a long gray ponytail...

At this moment, Lin Xian felt that Chu Yan seemed to have become a different person, with obvious differences from the one he had seen in Jiang City and Yubei City before.

"I already know your identity, Lin Xian. You are a member of the Infinity Team, a member of the Phoenix Society's Red Phoenix Order cooperation team. You have been briefed on the large-scale transfer of Yubei City and Xilan City."

Chu Yan ignored Lin Xian's surprise and confusion at this time, and said: "Don't worry, strictly speaking, I also belong to the Phoenix camp."

"Camp? So you are not a member of the Phoenix Organization?" Lin Xian said immediately.

"You can understand it that way, but the Order of the Phoenix is ​​not just a single official organization as you understand it. All the salvationists can be members of the Order of the Phoenix."

"Can you be more straightforward? Where are we now? Who are you? Why did I establish such a connection with you when I was dreaming?" Lin Xian threw out all the questions at once, but at this time, his keen sixth sense began to detect that something was wrong.

Because the elevator took too long to rise.

The entire Crimson Pharmaceuticals is not a high-rise building, and there are only 5 floors underground. Why does it take so long to rise? Lin Xian looked at the elevator and discovered that the elevator was not rising, but descending. It had already descended to minus 80 floors underground and was still descending at a very fast speed.

-

85, -86, -87...

"What's going on, we're descending?"

Chu Yan was not in a hurry at this time. Instead, she looked at Lin Xian and asked, "You said you saw me here and I warned you that there were corpse chasers in this area. Did I tell you this information myself?"

Lin Xian frowned: "Not really, but he looks a lot like you."

"Robot?" Chu Yan asked.

"right."

Chu Yan frowned, her expression showing no change. At this moment, she walked forward and pressed the button of the elevator. Finally, the elevator stopped at the -99th floor.

Ding~

At this moment, the elevator door slowly opened, and there was bright light outside. Lin Xian blocked the dazzling gaze and found that he and Chu Yan appeared on the roof of a skyscraper!

Lin Xian walked out of the elevator and looked outside blankly. It turned out to be a vibrant mechanical city. From the towering twin towers and the huge city rainbow ring in the distance, it can be seen that here...

It’s Dawn City!

It was not night in Dawn City at this time, but the sky was filled with dark clouds. The huge urban complex below seemed to be operating in a dull and orderly manner as before the Apocalypse.

Chu Yan came out, stood on the edge of the tall building, facing the cold wind and said to Lin Xian

"Do you know why I was so curious to see you here just now?"

"Now I have a rough idea." Lin Xian said with a deep breath

"Guessed it?" Chu Yan looked at Lin Xian with some curiosity: "Tell me about it."

Lin Xian looked serious as he looked at Chu Yan, who was wearing a mechanical structure and had a graceful figure, and said

"If I'm not mistaken, I should be in the dream of Julius Litt right now. What information did you come here to get from his subconscious mind?"

This was definitely not some kind of time travel. According to the series of strange terrain changes just now, including the sense of touch he could feel when touching Chu Yan, Lin Xian felt that Chu Yan must have some kind of stream of consciousness or spiritual ability, but he didn't know why he would have some kind of consciousness entanglement with her.

Hearing Lin Xian's words, Chu Yan's cold and beautiful face flashed with surprise, and then she looked at Lin Xian with great appreciation.

"Very good, worthy of being recognized by the Order of Phoenix. However, this is my world of consciousness."

"real?"

Although he guessed correctly, Lin Xian was still extremely shocked at this moment. In the consciousness world, what a joke...

Rumble! At this moment, the entire Dawn City began to experience violent earthquakes. The Twin Star Towers continued to shake, and tall buildings everywhere began to collapse.

"It seems that our meeting is about to end again." Lin Xian looked at this scene and said unwillingly.

"No."

Chu Yan looked at Lin Xian with a serious expression at this time: "If you don't get out of my dream now, you may never wake up again."

"Are you kidding me?" Lin Xian asked in surprise.

Chu Yan said calmly, "I have many doubts about your appearance. In the past, I always appeared in other people's consciousness, but only you appeared in my consciousness. From the information I have seen from the Order of the Phoenix, you don't seem to have this ability, so I can only infer from my logic that if your consciousness does not jump out of my dream and return to reality now, it may have some adverse effects on you."

"How to jump away?" At this time, the power of the earth-shaking was getting stronger and stronger. The whole high-rise building was shaking violently. Lin Xian already felt a little unstable.

Chu Yan stepped onto the edge of the tall building and pointed at a puddle of rainwater on the street 99 floors below.

"See that puddle of rain? Take aim and jump in."

"Hey, are you kidding me? I've seen the movie and read the novel about jumping into a dream, but I've never heard of aiming at a puddle of rainwater."

Chu Yan turned around and looked at him calmly: "Have you forgotten that we are on the negative 99th floor?"

"so?"

"So we ourselves are reflected in the puddle of rain downstairs!"

Chu Yan grabbed Lin Xian's hand and pushed him off the building.

"Fuck the grass!"

Down from the reflection?

Turn the world upside down?

Whoosh!

In an instant, a strong feeling of weightlessness came over him. In the Infinity Car No. 1, Lin Xian's eyes kept turning. He saw the rapidly approaching ground. The world around him was collapsing and shattering. The pool of black rain seemed to be glowing at this moment, as if it was an unknown passage!

Lin Xian clenched his teeth and subconsciously put his hands in front of his face. The moment he landed, he felt his nerves tremble and the scene around him changed rapidly.

After opening his eyes, Lin Xian found that he had come to a dark room. There were several bodies of armed men in power armor lying on the ground. At this time, there were six people standing in the room, four men and two women. They all looked powerful and wore full-covering high-level armor. Among them, three were Iron Hunter level and three were Phantom Wolf level. They were standing together, and there were two people sitting on the two stools in the middle.

One was Chu Yan, who was wearing power armor, and looked a little different from the one with the mechanical prosthesis just now. The other was the middle-aged white man whom Lin Xian had just met, Julius Litt.

At this time, Chu Yan seemed to wake up. She opened her eyes and slowly stood up from the stool. The other six people saw her wake up, and one of them immediately asked

"Captain Yan, how is it?"

"Done." Chu Yan's voice was cold. She turned around and glanced at Lin Xian who was standing in the corner.

"Take your stuff with you and prepare to evacuate."

"Yes!" The six people acted quickly and left the room. At this time, only Lin Xian and Chu Yan were left in the room.

Lin Xian realized that except Chu Yan, no one else was aware of his presence.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, and the white man named Julius Litt, this man was still alive, but seemed to be under some kind of control and fell into a long coma.

This person was wearing a high-end power armor protective suit, and the power source on his chest was a triangular blue light beam. His face looked gentle and elegant. Lin Xian looked around the room. It seemed to be an underground shelter. The identity information of many survivors was scrolling on the holographic screen in the room, all of which were marked with the numbers of the experimental receptors.

"Lin Xian, a mechanical mutant, repaired the Yubei Climbing Elevator on August 11 and proposed the 'traction plan' to save 30,000 survivors. On August 30, he participated in the Xilan City Forging Plan, piloted special weapons, and together with the Xilan Phoenix Society and tens of thousands of survivors, completed the first human kill of the S-level weird entity 'Black Thorn in the Cloud' since the Apocalypse Day..."

Chu Yan's armor mask was turned on, and she looked at Lin Xian as she walked: "You have accomplished a great feat in Xilan City, which has brought excitement and hope to survivor organizations around the world, but it has also caused Xingyuan to show signs of unstable expansion."

Lin Xian frowned: "Because he killed an S-rank?"

Chu Yan tilted her head slightly: "No, Xingyuan's changes are still a mystery to us, but the first eradication of S-level weird bodies by humans has made these guys who like to hide underground anxious."

“The Adventists?” Lin Xian didn’t understand: “Why are they so anxious?”

"S-level weird entities are currently considered to be dark creatures with civilization-influencing effects. For these adventists, they are the gods they are pursuing in a new dimension of life and the key to a new civilization." Chu Yan looked back at him and said, "Why are they so anxious?"

After saying that, Chu Yan started to walk out, and Lin Xian also stood up and followed behind her.

"These Adventists are currently a problem that our Phoenix Order has to deal with while we are dealing with the world's crises. For us humans, we are attacked from both sides. Moreover, for some reason, these organizations have made research progress that exceeds the world's scientific research level in some extreme dark research fields. You have been to Qingshui Town, so this may not be unfamiliar to you, but it has also aroused vigilance for the Phoenix Order."

Lin Xian followed behind and listened to Chu Yan's words. He found that this seemed to be some kind of underground fortification under the mountain. The corridor was full of traces of fighting and corpses were everywhere. Lin Xian noticed that these people had a triangular crimson world logo on their chests. It seemed that they were all members of this organization.

"Is there a scenario where we learn about the end of the world before the apocalypse?"

"Someone has already proposed this, but it cannot be confirmed. The Phoenix Order is also conducting a full investigation."

They walked to the entrance of a facility. Chu Yan pushed open the door and Lin Xian saw the Gobi Desert outside in the dark. This underground facility was located under a huge rock. There were many reflecting antennas of radio telescopes standing around it, but these facilities were already old and dilapidated. There was a newly built large radar above his head, which also had the logo of the Crimson World on it.

"Is this... Bailutan Starry Sky Observation Station?"

As soon as Lin Xian walked out, he immediately saw several rusty iron plates.

"Do you know about this place too?" Chu Yan walked to a higher place and asked him.

Lin Xian shook his head: "According to estimates, my team and I should be within 1,000 kilometers of here now."

Unexpectedly, when Chu Yan heard this, her face changed and she immediately turned around and asked, "Aksai?"

Lin Xian did not answer.

Chu Yan looked at him in silence, then took a deep breath.

"The organization I belong to is called the North American United Front (NAUF). You can think of it as a special organization affiliated with the Phoenix Order across Oceania and North America. My information is top secret in the Phoenix Order, so even though you are a member of the Red Phoenix Order, I cannot reveal my mission and actions to you. I also don't know why I have established such a link with you. Now that we are about to leave, I will give you two pieces of information as a friendly reminder. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

"First, the people of the Crimson World have already set their sights on you. This does not mean that you have a high priority. Now all powerful and special people with special abilities are on their hunting list, including me. I am not from the Crimson World. As for why they want to use my face as a holographic projection, you may know it later..."

"I figured it out." Lin Xian turned his head and looked at the corpse of the Crimson World in the corridor. He had originally wanted to explore the Bailutan Starry Sky Observatory, but now... it seemed that there was no need for that.

Chu Yan looked at Lin Xian with a cold expression and said, "Second, if you were in Aksai now, I'm afraid it would be too late for you to evacuate the no-man's land."

Lin Xian's expression froze slightly when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

A holographic interface appeared in front of Chu Yan's power armor mask at this time. On it was a map simulation area of ​​Star Abyss No. 5. An irregular expansion area appeared in the southeast direction of Star Abyss No. 5. It was not an overall expansion, but a regional expansion, which made the originally circular Star Abyss No. 5 seem to have an elliptical polar night area.

"An unstable energy anchor point appeared in Star Abyss No. 5. According to our investigation with Night Walker Division II, this is most likely related to a large forbidden object that the Crimson World recently brought out of it. That object is now somewhere in the no-man's land, so it caused the sudden expansion of Star Abyss No. 5. This expansion is irregular, non-circular and radiant, and extremely strange. The last time it appeared was in the Wei River, and this time, the large forbidden object appeared in the Aksai no-man's land!"

"We speculate that if there is no unusual movement in Xingyuan today, then it is very likely to be tomorrow. So if you can't run out of the Aksai No Man's Land before dark tomorrow, I suggest you run back or take a detour through the Hyrule Mountains."

Lin Xian's face darkened: "Impossible, we are a train group, and this is the only way we can go now."

The only way to run back is to return to Yijin City and Xilan City. To bypass Star Abyss No. 5 and return to Hengshan Pass, this is simply impossible.

Chu Yan said calmly, "That's your business. I can't help you. Of course, if you are very lucky, you may not run into it. I wish you good luck."

After saying that, Chu Yan was ready to leave, but she stopped after taking a step and looked back at Lin Xian.

"Did anything similar happen before you and I established this kind of consciousness connection?"

Not only Lin Xian was curious, but Chu Yan was the same.

Her special ability was top secret, and being spied on by Lin Xian was already a crisis. Logically, Chu Yan should have reported the situation to her superiors as soon as possible to ensure that there were no problems with her special mission. However, Chu Yan, who had always been calm, had reservations about this matter, so that every time Lin Xian appeared, Chu Yan would have a weird feeling that even she herself was not real.

The investigation into Lin Xian's identity, background and deeds also made Chu Yan feel relieved, but at the same time she also developed a certain curiosity about his mechanical abilities.

From a certain perspective, mechanical superpowers possess almost all the current technological power of human civilization, which can no longer be simply understood as "superpowers".

"Same thing..."

Lin Xian took a deep breath, and a vague answer already appeared in his mind.

Beep, beep.

The sound of the watch reminder sounded, Lin Xian was startled and quickly looked at the time.

At 5 a.m., in order to set off two hours earlier, Lin Xian only allowed himself six hours of sleep.

But at this moment, he was already extremely anxious. If it was true as Chu Yan said, they had to rush out of the no-man's land before 18:45 tonight, so if they set off immediately, there were still 13 hours and 45 minutes!

The combined train must maintain a high speed of over 280 kilometers to have a chance to get out of the no-man's land before dark!

Chu Yan saw Lin Xian's expression and guessed his intention. Seeing that Lin Xian's consciousness was forcibly awakening, she said loudly

"Listen, humans must have a correct understanding of forbidden objects. They are not treasures, but incomprehensible distortions of power from another world. The so-called containment is just a way for us to contact them. Although some organizations now want to use this power, the dark invasion power of the forbidden objects themselves cannot be eliminated. This is a double-edged sword. It is difficult to understand the containment of forbidden objects from a human perspective. It is like you draw a line on a piece of white paper with a pen. You don't think your pen is magical, but if there is a two-dimensional world on the white paper, then your pen becomes a magical tool that divides the world."

On the Infinity, Lin Xian's eyes were shaking wildly. He forced himself to stay conscious and looked at Chu Yan, whose eyes were gradually blurring. He tried hard to hear every word she said.

"Don't try to understand taboos with human eyes. If you see them, don't look at them. If you try to understand them, it will definitely go against common sense. Don't try to describe them!"

"Don't even look into the sky!!"

Buzz~

The tail of Chu Yan's voice was stretched out into the hum of a huge bell, which kept echoing in the dark space. The sound gradually became clearer from far away, and turned into the sound of a strong wind blowing the railway sign on the Aksai platform.

"Lin Xian!"

The bedroom door opened, and Chen Sixuan saw Lin Xian suddenly awake, and immediately said to him: "The sandstorm is coming!"

"Start the train."

"What?"

At this moment, Lin Xian stood up directly and started the engine of the Giant Whale 03E heavy-duty gas turbine locomotive with the Mechanical Heart for the first time in a long time!

boom!

The engine of the Jujing 03E heavy-duty gas turbine locomotive roared like a mad lion, and the huge traction torque came crashing down, instantly pushing the Longshan No. 1 carriage in front to vibrate section by section, while also causing the train behind to shake violently!

At 5 o'clock in the morning, when most people were fast asleep and resting, the entire train suddenly heard the hissing of a metal car!

Lin Xian ran frantically towards the rear carriage, pressing the communicator with a fierce look on his face and shouting to make a full-band announcement:

"Everyone, set off immediately!"

Ask for monthly tickets brothers~
