Chapter 345 Flashing Bullet

Silver Bullet?

Lin Xian was a little surprised to hear what Mochizuki Shinji said, but seeing the other party's expression, he guessed that this thing might be related to the Silent City, so he directly admitted: "Is this thing yours?"

"I guess so, but I have no particular interest in this kind of thing. I just want to use it to see through the truth of the darkness."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Xian with a calm look, as if telling him not to be nervous.

"Do you know the characteristics and containment conditions of this thing?"

Click.

Lin Xian took out the metal box from the device behind the power armor and shook his head: "I'm not sure."

Shinji Mochizuki put his hands over his sleeves and said, "It's very simple. Whoever gets it will take it in. Of course, I mean getting it personally."

"But its characteristics are very interesting." Mochizuki Shinji raised his hand. At this time, a drone flew over and slowly extended its mechanical arm to place a bullet shell with primer and propellant without a bullet in his palm. He immediately handed it to Lin Xian and said, "It should be easy for you to make this. As long as the holder fires this bullet, he can move to the spatial position where the bullet is at any time. Wow, isn't it amazing? Let's call this thing [Flash Bullet]?"

Lin Xian was shocked when he heard this: "Space transfer?"

"Only in the dark." Mochizuki Shinji added.

In an instant, it was as if ten thousand horses were galloping through Lin Xian's heart. That silver bullet actually had the ability to move in space!

Shinji Mochizuki saw Lin Xian's surprised expression, but he didn't seem surprised. He said calmly, "The previous keeper of this forbidden object was a captain of my mobile team named Yoruichi, 22 years old. Although he has a bit of a willful personality, he is a good kid."

"Is he dead?" Lin Xian asked after hearing Shinji Mochizuki's tone.

"That night we were drawn into the Xingyuan."

Shinji Mochizuki looked at Lin Xian as if he was telling a story: "He proposed a plan that is as bold as yours."

"He wants to observe the Merlion before we are swallowed by the Star Abyss, and use the silver bullet's ability to travel through the darkness to move the statue..."

Lin Xian's eyes flickered when he heard this. This plan was indeed bold.

"Then what?"

"Not far enough." Shinji Mochizuki said, "He took the Colossus away, but the maximum range of a 12.7mm bullet using the kinetic energy of fire is only 8 kilometers. It seems far, but it is far from enough for us to face the Star Abyss Tide in the dark."

In the dark night?

Lin Xian's heart shuddered. They were swallowed by the Star Abyss tide before dark. The scene looked even more horrifying.

Hearing what Mochizuki Shinji said, he frowned and suddenly asked: "Why do we have to use bullets and propellants to launch it?"

"If we just want to launch it, we can use electromagnetic force to increase the range."

Shinji Mochizuki didn't seem surprised to hear what Lin Xian said. He smiled and said, "You see, this is the problem that creativity can't keep up with imagination."

After saying that, a drone flew over and placed a gun with a somewhat peculiar shape on a table raised on the ground. The gun looked like some kind of arc pulse gun, in black and white, without fusible batteries, but with a separate automatic magazine compartment.

"This is an electromagnetic sniper rifle I developed. Although it is not as powerful as an electromagnetic railgun that fires nebula projectiles due to energy density limitations, its initial velocity can reach 4,000 m/s, and its range can easily exceed 50 km. If it uses a projectile trajectory, it can reach even further."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately used a mechanical scan and discovered that this gun was precisely designed and its special design was not intended for spherical projectiles.

With such a high kinetic energy speed, ordinary 12.7 alloy bullets cannot withstand it and will melt and disintegrate directly.

Obviously, this gun is specially tailored for the 12.7 forbidden bullet.

Shinji Mochizuki walked up to the electromagnetic sniper rifle and said with some regret: "This is designed for Yoruichi, but... well, it's a little late..."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Lin Xian: "Before we were dragged into Xingyuan, Boss Hu found our Silent City and exchanged some information for some items, and then followed us all the way."

Lin Xian nodded: "Do you know that he gave me this bullet because he wanted me to return it to you?"

"No."

Shinji Mochizuki said: "I just said that I have no interest in this kind of items except for research. The reason why I don't like the businessman surnamed Hu is because he likes to lie, but I am also grateful that he saved Yoruichi. Although he didn't survive in the end, at least he was not buried in this darkness. That child doesn't like the night."

Lin Xian understood what he said: "So this is why you saved Hu Lushou and the others?"

"Yes." Mochizuki Shinji said seriously, "Interestingly, I learned about your situation after I saved them. It was also because of this person that the conflict between us did not escalate. Since this bullet is in your hands, I will give you this electromagnetic sniper rifle as a gift."

Lin Xian was a little surprised. Before he could say anything, Mochizuki Shinji waved his hand.

"Don't doubt it. You can return it to me if you don't want it. When forbidden objects provide specific functions, they are often accompanied by unknown risks and disasters. I treat all uncontrollable forces rationally."

"So..." Mochizuki Shinji looked at Lin Xian: "Tell me about your magnetic levitation leap plan."

He had a smile on his face, and there were thousands of stars in his nanomechanical pupils, as if everything in the world could be used by him, but he never seemed arrogant. The only regret that could be heard in his tone was about the passing of his partner named Ye Yi, and nothing else.

Lin Xian was touched and developed a better impression of the Lord of Silent City. He did not act pretentiously and spoke frankly about the current situation of the combined train and the plan of using the superconducting suspended magnetic anchor array device.

He and Shinji Mochizuki sat across from each other at the tea table. Shinji Mochizuki listened very carefully. When Lin Xian finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, then he spoke

"To complete such a plan, you need to be able to manipulate the subsystems of Silent City, complete the launch of the array device without energy supply, and design and manufacture external distributed wire coil support columns for irregular vehicles such as trains that do not have a flight launch shape. You also need to be able to coordinate the energy system, connect the structure, and connect the device..."

He spoke a lot of professional terms in one breath, then looked at Lin Xian and said, "Do you know how many engineers, construction organizations, parts and material supply factories, and survey, calculation, and execution computing power are needed to complete such a seemingly simple plan for you?"

Lin Xian didn't say anything. Mochizuki Shinji smiled and said, "That's off topic. So your ability is to scan mechanical blueprints, generate materials to complete mechanical manufacturing, control the machinery and provide driving energy, right?"

"Almost." Lin Xian did not describe his special abilities in detail, but he knew that with a character like Mochizuki Shinji, it was not complicated to deduce that he possessed these special abilities.

Shinji Mochizuki nodded: "Then I approve of your plan very much, not only the magnetic levitation leap plan, but also your doomsday train plan. This is indeed very suitable for you. The sky is too risky and the car platform is too small. With your ability to develop, it is just around the corner to create a mechanical floating city and manufacture billions of drone swarms and robot armies. Maybe this will be one of the solutions to the end of Xingyuan..."

Lin Xian looked at his watch, planned the time silently in his mind, and asked Mochizuki Shinji one last question.

"I have a question. How did you know the characteristics of the Colossus immediately when you encountered it? There is already public research data on this thing?"

Hearing this, Mochizuki Shinji smiled and said, "No, the organization that has done the most research on forbidden objects and catastrophic plants is called Divine Revelation. This organization is currently in a cooperative relationship with the Crimson World."

"How do you know?" Lin Xian asked.

"I know more than that..." Mochizuki Shinji raised his head and stretched out his hand. At this time, a photo of a man appeared on the holographic projection in the air. The man looked to be about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, with ordinary looks and a thin face. Only his eyes looked bright and lively.

"Chen Tuo, the leader of Holy Revelation, was originally an ordinary administrator of the Dragon Kingdom National Museum. After the Apocalypse Day, he obtained some special powers and forbidden items. Later, for some reason, he and Chen Yanxiu, the former director of the Special Items Research Department of the Angel Project, jointly established Holy Revelation, an adventist organization that fanatically worships the power of special powers and forbidden items. This organization has few members and is very low-key. Compared with the Crimson World, they can be considered peaceful, but they are not easy to deal with. According to my guess, the reason they cooperated with the Crimson World is probably for "technical guidance" and "item exchange."

"Divine Revelation provides the Crimson World with the means to study and contain forbidden objects, and the Crimson World gives them the disastrous plants and forbidden objects found in the Star Abyss?" Lin Xian frowned.

"That's about it." Shinji Mochizuki put his hands on his sleeves and said, "They are just a group of conspirators. They have superpowers and are doing these things. As for why I know..." Shinji Mochizuki looked at Lin Xian with bright eyes.

"When you can control billions of drones and tens of thousands of quantum computing powers, these will be small problems for you."

Lin Xian was surprised: "Do you want me to become a mechanical life as well?"

"No."

Mochizuki Shinji shrugged and said to Lin Xian with interest: "It's not me who thinks, it's you who thinks."

The expression on Lin Xian's face slowly froze. He was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the last time he had this feeling was when he was driving to the Aksai Black Rose Bar. Lin Xian was operating the vision of several robots, which made it difficult for him to adapt. He felt uncomfortable and wanted to vomit.

At the time, he was thinking that if there were hundreds of millions of drones, it would definitely not be possible to control them through the human brain's thinking threads and visual system...

Buzz!

Accompanied by a strange sense of spatial hysteresis, a strong chill swept over everyone in an instant, completely ignoring the hundreds of meters of mountain and the main structure of the underground fortress.

Sitting in the main control room, Lin Xian felt a chill all over his body, and that extremely uncomfortable feeling came over him again.

Shinji Mochizuki raised his eyes slightly and said, "The tide has begun."

Lin Xian immediately stood up and said, "Before we start the plan to intercept the transport ship, I need to complete the docking device of the Baicheng Orbital Station."

"I have a better plan for this."

Shinji Mochizuki pointed his finger, and a robotic arm with coils appeared in the air. "Rather than precise self-control, it is safer to let the program do it. This is a magnetically controlled deceleration array. If you can make this in a short time, it will be safer than a hard landing."

Lin Xian's eyes lit up immediately when he saw it. He was worrying about this problem. His initial idea was to build a track buffer ramp and then rely on KIKI to adjust it in the air. It looked like acrobatics, but it was really a helpless method.

If we have this thing, the success rate can be greatly improved.

After leaving the underground main control room, Qian Su Xun brought Lin Xian's team to the upstairs lobby. Before setting off, the girl named Hoshino Shiori cleared everyone's body of the dark invading power again. Lin Xian noticed that the armor on this girl was very special. Not only did it have a very high intelligent system, but also its protection level was not low. It seemed that this girl had a very high status among the core backbone of Silent City.

There are still more than ten minutes before the inner tide ends. At this time, Ning Jing and Chen Sixuan have synchronized the situation and plan here to the joint train. Shi Diyuan did not expect that they would unite with Silent City, but for the joint train, this is undoubtedly good news. With the help of Silent City, the chances of everyone escaping from Xingyuan will be greatly improved.

"Qian Suxun and I just took a detailed look at it. It seems that the red man ghost may not be so easy to deal with."

The exploration team had a brief internal discussion before departure. Ning Jing synchronized the information she had just obtained with Lin Xian: "They have intercepted transport ships several times. There are two main dangers, the strange body hidden in the city, and the red man ghost."

"The external transport team will be divided into multiple batches. Once a problem occurs, the Crimson World may trigger a cleanup procedure, causing the strange entities in the city to riot."

Lin Xian frowned slightly when he heard this: "I have been wondering what means they used. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a clone to carry the Dark Mark."

Chen Sixuan shook her head: "They don't know about Qian Suxun either, so they have several cleared underground shelters in Baicheng to prevent such a situation from happening and use them for emergency hiding. They have synchronized these locations to us."

"Lin Xian, what is this, a gun?"

KIKI, who was standing by, saw Lin Xian holding a large black and white gun in his hand and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xian picked it up and took a look at it with a complicated expression, and said, "The gift from Mochizuki Shinji is a kind of handheld electromagnetic cannon." After that, he put the electromagnetic sniper rifle into the armor fixing clip behind him.

After learning about the characteristics of the silver bullet, Lin Xian did not take it in directly. Both Chu Yan and Mochizuki Shinji were wary of the existence of forbidden objects, and Lin Xian was naturally the same.

The Heterogeneous Cube was once the 1542 strange radio station that almost wiped out the Infinity, and after entering the Star Abyss, Brother Huo's Infinity Ring put a lot more pressure on his mental workload, and he was about to solve a big problem with the Silent City, so he kept it with him first, maybe it could be used as a trump card at a critical moment.

"Forest."

At this time, Qian Suxun came over and said, "You're going to build the docking device at the orbital station. It's best to set off at the next low tide. Hurry up. We will split into three groups. Miss Ning from Longshan No. 1 and I will lead the team to squat in the central square and the north and south of Baicheng Hospital respectively. We can monitor the transport ship and cover you at the same time. How long do you think it will take?"

Lin Xian said without hesitation: "Four hours should be about the same, but due to the influence of the internal tide, it will definitely take more than six hours."

"That's no problem. You don't have to stick to the time so tightly. The key is not to disturb the strange body, otherwise it will be troublesome." Qian Suxun said.

Lin Xian nodded and said directly to KIKI, Chen Sixuan, and Brother Huo: "The members of the Infinity team, follow me and cover me. Sister Ning, you and Qian Dele, Monica, Xiaoqing, and Abai will form a separate team."

"etc."

Qian Su Xun interrupted Lin Xian at this time. He signaled with his eyes. At this time, the girl named Shiori from the Silent City team walked out timidly.

"You are the main person in this operation, so Shinji asked Shiori to assist you."

Hearing this, Chen Sixuan and the others were a little surprised. The Silent City was really too generous to send such a core figure alone to assist Lin Xian.

Qian Suxun saw everyone's gaze, smiled faintly, and said to Lin Xian: "Miss Ning's team has a dark perceiver, and my side is mainly based on mechas, so you should need a team member who can provide you with dark shielding and support."

Lin Xian immediately understood what Shinji Mochizuki meant, and nodded to the girl named Shiori.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"No... You're welcome. I'll try my best." Shiori looked young and spoke timidly, but her eyes were full of determination. She had experienced many fierce battles with Ryunosuke and others, and the dangers seemed to her to be as stressful as talking to strangers.

"Everyone."

"Get ready to go. This operation is centered around Lin. Xun, only after Lin is ready, you can use EMP to isolate the transport ship's path and make a quick decision."

At this moment, the leisurely voice of Shinji Mochizuki was heard in everyone's communicator. At the same time, an extremely clear holographic map of White City appeared on the screen of everyone's power armor.

This map not only marks a large number of dangerous areas where strange entities appear through surveillance and radar, real-time images and sentry systems, but also includes time monitoring of internal tides and the locations of all safe shelters in the city.

In an instant, a powerful atmosphere of fully informationized warfare shocked the entire exploration team. It can only be described in one word: professional!

Lin Xian's eyes were burning. After coming into contact with Shinji Mochizuki, he had a broader idea about the development of his mechanical abilities.

The first is the huge drone construction system and information system. He can completely manufacture it with the help of Grace's intelligent brain as the main control, and then strengthen the construction capabilities of Infinity. The automated construction can completely accelerate Lin Xian's goal of soaring into the sky.

"Understood." Looking at the countdown on the screen, Sensu Shun clicked on the nano soft armor on his body. This time, he brought three heavy-duty intelligent control mechas and an ACS light guard mecha. Together with Ryunosuke and Amano Ran, they were directly responsible for monitoring the mother nest area in the central square.

"Let's go."

After getting ready, everyone walked all the way to the entrance of the underground fortress and waited for the tide to go out.

Meanwhile, Shizhi had already used her special powers, and a green light swept over everyone, completing the final "cleaning" before departure.

12:04

In the White City in the darkness, twisted black fog filled all the streets. The huge [Mother Nest] in the central square was frantically stitching together all kinds of strange bodies. Hundreds of thousands of human corpses stood in the streets, connected by black ground blood vessels. They seemed to be still alive, but also seemed to have rotted. Those blood vessels continued to absorb the flesh and blood information of these corpses, colliding in the mother nest, like a violently self-programming out-of-control machine, constantly running.

Countless strange creatures howled madly and rushed into the streets in all directions, spreading and infecting like biochemical warriors who were produced and rushed to the battlefields in all directions to plunder and kill.

12.05

The tide receded, and the violent mother nest, the surging strange bodies, hundreds of thousands of standing corpses, and the black blood vessels on the ground slowly disappeared.

The originally noisy and roaring White City suddenly became quiet again, leaving only the eerie whispers in the depths of the darkness and the indescribable sounds of crawling and pacing hidden in the shadows.

At this time, in a corrupt room in a high-rise apartment building somewhere, the steel door that Lin Xian had temporarily made was torn apart by a sharp claw, and the metal fell down with a whimper. A huge figure in a strange windbreaker stood strangely at the door, motionless.

Staring into the darkness.
