Chapter 348: Flying Fire Meteor! (12,000 2-in-1 plus more!)

In the sky, black fog was spreading and twisting. Lin Xian just got the memory when he heard Qian Suxun's shout. His first reaction was that something might have happened to Ning Jing, so without hesitation, he immediately asked KIKI to lead everyone to descend quickly, find Chen Sixuan and Shiori, and prepare to rush over from the street at low altitude.

"Lin, the sewage treatment plant must have received the feedback signal. You have 15 minutes to evacuate."

Shinji Mochizuki's voice came.

At this time, Lin Xian was looking at the time while checking whether the memory in his hand was damaged. This black memory was very valuable and could store the high-energy-density brain volume information of an adult human. For digital life, it was a version that had been iterated for many generations.

He wiped off some cerebrospinal fluid and mycelium and handed it to Grace beside him.

"Grace, check if the memory is intact."

Grace took it, opened the skin on her left wrist, and a slot appeared. Then she inserted the memory card and checked it, then said to Lin Xian:

[Confirmed to be intact, this memory is encrypted with RSA, and my quantum computer can brute force it]

"Not for now." After confirming that it was intact, Lin Xian took back the memory. It would be better to leave it to Shinji Mochizuki to take his time to deal with it. Their current task was to gather and evacuate.

In the urban area of ​​Baicheng, there are dilapidated and old buildings everywhere. Weird noises can be heard from all directions. The signal band in the headset is crackling. Just when Lin Xian and his friends arrived at the Baicheng Hospital, they can see from afar a burning transport ship in the sky, firing intensive firepower downwards. At the same time, countless silver drone swarms are circling and firing in an interlaced manner, and the sky and the ground are in chaos.

There were explosions in several blocks and smoke was everywhere!

This scene was obviously different from the transport ship they had just encountered. Not only was it equipped with sufficient firepower, but it also had a large number of drone escorts.

Bang bang bang!

The transport ship spread out like an angel's wings, projecting dozens of large cylindrical devices in both directions. Those devices exploded and disintegrated in the air, decomposing into countless spider-shaped robots. These robots quickly clung to the walls and the ground. The main body above was a rotating round head that continuously emitted red pulse lasers.

boom!

With a loud bang, the outer walls of buildings on half a street and the decayed vehicle fragments on the ground were peeled off by a powerful force and then directly annihilated a large number of drones in the air and on the ground like a tsunami. Ryunosuke landed on the roof of the tall building with a red samurai sword in his hand, and with a backhand cut, he cut a charging humanoid mecha into two pieces, and a high-energy explosion occurred.

Boom boom boom!

Two silver heavy armored mechas were rampaging on the street, constantly smashing the spider robots that pounced on them, while also having to face a large number of strange and ferocious creatures. Qian Suxun was sitting in the shadow of a tall building rooftop in the distance, operating two mechas to cover the area below, and operating another one to fight on the transport ship.

"Lin!" Qian Suxun caught the signal of Lin Xian's team's arrival and immediately said, "The Red Man Ghost has triggered a monster tide. This transport ship is the main force. Lan is on it. We must resolve the battle quickly."

Lin Xian and his men flew over, but before they arrived, Chen Sixuan had already discovered that a large-scale battle was taking place in the inpatient building of the dilapidated hospital in the distance.

There was a huge explosion, and a black shadow was punched out of the wall, and Ning Jing jumped out of the hole.

"Captain Lin, there are snoopers here, be careful."

Before he could finish his words, a series of explosions suddenly erupted in the open space of the hospital. A golden flash instantly rushed out and kicked the black shadow, kicking it out.

Qian Dele rushed out of the smoke, twisted his ankle, and cursed softly: "What a tough guy!"

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, the red ghost who was kicked away by him suddenly lit up a pair of red eyes in the smoke and darkness, and violent energy gathered and then spurted out!

Buzz! Bang, bang, bang, bang!

A beam of energy that seemed to be a combination of Abai's laser beam and Luo Yang's explosive pulse instantly exploded and annihilated the place where Qian Dele had just stood. Dozens of fireballs ignited in the entire place, directly blasting through the hospital building and corridor on one side!

Lin Xian looked and saw Xiaoqing, swinging on a grappling hook and holding a gun blade, charging out from a strange tide outside the hospital. Above, Monica used sonic blades to cover Abai while she dealt with a group of drones attacking from the air. Then Abai shot a laser beam towards the transport ship.

But at this moment, there was a strange black device hanging under the bow of the transport ship. At this moment, a bunch of micro devices were ejected like hot flame foil strips, and they exploded instantly to produce a dark red mist. The mist was the same as the one Lin Xian encountered when he fought the strange python before. Abai's laser beam was directly blocked when it was shot on it, but the extremely high energy caused the red mist to explode instantly, and part of the transport ship was blown up.

"There are more and more strange bodies. If this continues, no one will be able to escape." KIKI said as he watched the scene.

"Brother Huo, go help Qian Dele and Ning Jing solve the Red Man Ghost. Teacher Chen, take Shizhi to help Monica and Abai. Let Abai and Shizhi find the snooper. If they don't solve it, it will be useless no matter how many they kill."

"KIKI, Grace, let's shoot down the transport ship!"

"good!"

"I am leaving now!"

Hearing Lin Xian's words, Lu Xingchen immediately became eager to fight. At this moment, he saw the tall red ghost bursting out like a fire meteor. While still in the air, he crossed his index fingers and sprayed out a tiny fireball. The infinite ring spun wildly, making the fireball turn blue. The scorching heat even burned his power armor red. Immediately, he held the blue fireball with both hands and sprayed the fireball out like a qigong wave.

"God·Infinite Burning Sword!"

Puff, boom!

Lu Xingchen was quite depressed because of the defeat he suffered against the red ghost before. Now that he found an opportunity to show his strength, he did not hold back at all and just raised his hand to use a newly developed big move!

In an instant, a white-hot spiral of fire shot down from the sky, and the huge light directly illuminated the area within a radius of three kilometers. Ning Jing and Qian Dele, who were closest to it, only felt a white flash in front of their eyes, as if they had lost their vision, and immediately retreated backwards. Even Abai, who was shooting laser beams on the roof, was grabbed by Monica behind him and ran away.

The red man ghost that had attacked Qian Dele below had just walked out of the smoke and dust when it suddenly realized that it was daybreak. It raised its rotten and stiff head, saw the spiral fire, and immediately used the explosive light wave to fight back. But the next moment, the open space where the red man ghost was and a corner of the hospital building next to it disappeared in an instant. The giant pillar of fire directly annihilated the red man ghost on the spot. The leather jacket, black body and mechanical suppression device on its body were all melting rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The blood-red eyes melted on the spot before their supernatural powers were released!

Exploding! A huge wave of flames swept in all directions from this point like a tsunami, and large areas of buildings were burned and collapsed!

This sudden powerful move almost blinded Ryuzhi, Sensu Shun, Qian Dele, Ning Jing and others, even Lin Xian was almost blinded by it.

Qian Dele, who was retreating all the way, felt the hot air bursting in the air and couldn't help but complain.

"Brother, you're making this noise because you're afraid the monster won't be able to find you!"

KIKI, who was rushing towards the transport ship with Lin Xian, couldn't help but yelled in surprise.

"Is this guy crazy??!"

"Hah!" Ning Jing rushed out from the collapsed rubble and said directly: "Be careful, the monster's defense is..."

Before she finished speaking, she looked and saw that a lava coke pit with a diameter of several meters had appeared where the red ghost had just stood, with raging fire all around. Half of a burnt leg remained at the bottom of the pit, and countless debris fell down.

Watching this scene, Ning Jing looked up at Lu Xingchen in the sky, whose armor on both hands had been burned, with some surprise. Did this guy evolve his superpowers or was he simply venting his anger? This action was totally unreasonable.

Lu Xingchen in the air looked at the burning earth below and then at his own burning hands. The depression caused by the fire being blocked just now was suddenly dissipated, and he nodded in self-approval.

"The fire controlled by this body can only burn cities and split rocks, but it has not reached the level of 'burning the whole world, boiling the sea and burning the sky'..."

"But my heart of Taoism still needs to be sharpened..."

The red man ghost was solved, and the pressure on Ning Jing's side was suddenly reduced. It was the first time for them to encounter this monster, and they were caught off guard at the beginning. After Ning Jing, Xiaoqing and Monica quickly gained the upper hand with their strength, the monster tide suddenly came, and the transport ship carrying a large number of weapons was approaching, which led to the escalation of the battle situation.

On Chen Sixuan's side, after meeting up with Monica and Abai, she and Shiori immediately began searching for the peeper.

"That thing must be within the range where it can detect us. Only by getting rid of and killing these monsters can we neutralize the mark on us!" Shiori said at this time.

On the other side, as the three teams gathered together, the transport ship seemed to realize that the situation was unfavorable and began to start its engine to prepare for escape.

But above the transport ship, a heavy mecha was violently demolishing things, and on the upper deck, Amano Ran was fighting a humanoid mecha. When Lin Xian and KIKI got closer, they were shocked to find that the humanoid mecha was actually the same as [Grace], a female body, and the material seemed to be similar. The only difference was that the mecha did not have a quantum intelligent brain and looked more ordinary.

It is said to be ordinary, but since this robot has the same skin material as Grace, it must be extremely difficult to deal with. It is indeed not easy for physical masters like Amano Ran and Ning Jing to subdue it in a short time.

But at this time Lin Xian and KIKI arrived. Facing the transport ship that had not yet accelerated, she directly used her telekinesis to capture it!

Woo!!

The transport ship's propulsion engine began to increase its power frantically, and at this time, Ryunosuke also arrived from the air, and immediately activated his special powers, and caught the transport ship like KIKI.

One in front and one behind, the transport ship was completely "trapped" in the air and unable to move. Lin Xian and Grace took the opportunity to land on the transport ship. The robot that was fighting with Amano Ran turned around and looked at Grace, with its head slightly tilted, as if a little curious.

At this time, Amano Ran punched out directly, causing the robot to carve a groove on the top of the transport ship with sparks and lightning. However, after fighting for more than ten minutes, the robot only had a few dents on its body and did not suffer any fatal injuries.

Just as she twisted her waist and turned over to stand up again, her limb joints and all power modules were suddenly controlled invisibly. Immediately, the robot's head flipped backwards, and its limbs were curled behind its back, disarming it on the spot.

At this time, Amano Ran walked over and looked at the curled-up robot, and then looked at Lin Xian who raised a finger not far away. Although she was wearing a mask, Amano Ran's eyes revealed a look of shock.

"Don't break this thing, leave it to me."

Lin Xian left a message and immediately asked Grace to use EMP bombs to force the transport ship to stop.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Qian Suxun suddenly said: "Lin, we have already used it. This transport ship has set up a plasma shield, and the people on it are also resisting with all their strength. This situation is extremely unusual, and there is a high-value target!"

Lin Xian understood it as soon as he heard it. He directly drove the mechanical scanner and rushed violently to the rear, specifically devouring various simple circuit integrations and control systems. When dealing with these human machines, even if Lin Xian could not control them in the first time, he could quickly destroy their combat effectiveness. Especially now that he has the ability of remote control, the more advanced the equipment, the more weaknesses it has for him.

Soon, a large number of flight control systems of the transport ship began to go offline, and internal alarms rang wildly. Under the joint suppression of Ryunosuke and KIKI, the transport ship staggered and fell towards the ground. The huge mass stopped only after it knocked down several houses. Smoke and dust rose all around. At the same time, strange creatures in the surrounding streets began to approach from all directions. The members of the three teams were all marked with darkness at this time, and more and more strange creatures were attracted.

Meanwhile, Chen Sixuan finally found the Peeper at the entrance of a sewer. While trying to escape, the monster was cut into pieces by Monica's sonic blade. At this time, members of Qian Suxun, Ning Jing and Lin Xian's three teams began to take lightning speed to eliminate the low-level monsters around them, and soon stopped the snowballing trend that had been disturbed.

These three teams are all powerful elites. It is precisely because of this, coupled with the careful plan of Silent City, that the momentum of the situation can be curbed in a short period of time.

At this time, a group of people surrounded the transport ship. Because Lin Xian had obtained the memory, Qian Suxun and Lin Xian did not take action immediately due to the abnormal situation of the opponent. Instead, they chose to let the team hide in various buildings around the transport ship to observe the movements of the strange bodies around them, and gradually stabilize the avalanche. If a strange body appeared, they would directly and swiftly deal with it remotely. Until the surroundings gradually quieted down, everyone's eyes fell on the transport ship.

Rub, rub, rub!

In the distance, Ryunosuke used his ability to tear apart the transport ship's engine, damaged external devices and other debris, completely ending its power capability. Then, Qian Suxun prioritized his own mecha and performed all operations with extreme caution. Lin Xian and KIKI also retreated to the ground not far away, watching Qian Suxun's actions.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the hatch of the transport ship suddenly opened slowly, and in the thick smoke, a middle-aged man wearing a special lining suit and a breathing mask slowly walked out. Judging from his appearance, this man was obviously different from other clones. There was an extremely advanced brain-computer system at the back of his head, but there was no white mycelium. He looked like an astronaut on a spacecraft. Through the transparent breathing mask, under the flames burning all around, one could see an extremely unnatural pale skin, and a pair of narrow and gloomy eyes looking forward dully.

He raised his hands and just stepped out of the transport ship when he was aimed at by the artillery of two heavy mechas at close range. However, facing such a situation, this man did not seem nervous. He seemed to be ready to be shot at any time. He actually spoke

"It's really lively. These poor dying creatures must have spent a lot of money to survive in here for so long."

The middle-aged man looked at the monitor on the heavy armor beside him, as if he was looking at the person behind the monitor from a distance. The voice under the breathing mask sounded hoarse and heavy: "Mochizuki Shinji, your Silent City destroyed the Yunlan Center of our Crimson World and burned the Weihe Research Institute. The master can't figure it out, and I can't figure it out either. Digital life, intelligent machine ascension, isn't this the path of new civilization that you have been pursuing for decades? Why do you always go against the sacred path of evolution?"

The surroundings fell silent, and this person actually spoke directly to Mochizuki Shinji.

At this time, in the main control room of the underground fortress on the west mountain of Baicheng, Shinji Mochizuki, wearing a plain robe, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the picture in the holographic vision in front of him, and said leisurely

"That tone sounds familiar. Let me guess. It's you, Julius again."

Julius?

When Lin Xian heard the voice of Shinji Mochizuki coming from the heavy mecha, he couldn't help but frown. Why did this name sound so familiar?

He remembered.

Isn’t this the director of the Zero Element Center, the high-ranking member of the Crimson World whose consciousness was infiltrated by Chu Yan in the Baihetan Star Observation Base?

He was a little surprised. He just wondered why this guy was everywhere. Then he remembered that the Crimson World had copied countless memories for the Star Abyss exploration experiment. Combined with this guy's brain-computer device, it seemed that he was a clone of Julius Lit...

"Gene editing, alien colonization, dark fusion? Oh, you really insult the significance of digital life to human civilization..." said Shinji Mochizuki

"Civilization? The 100 days of the Apocalypse surpassed the 1 million years of evolution of human civilization. A truly wise person should understand that this is not destruction, but an opportunity for a breakthrough in human civilization." Julius said, looking at KIKI and Ryunosuke flying in the sky:

"Flying. It took hundreds of years of industrial revolution for humans to master this power. How long did it take you? Three days? Thirty days? Manipulating everything is a completely subversive reconstruction of the original basic physics. It is meaningless to talk about saving the world. History will prove that we are the creators of a new era for mankind."

"Interesting! If you can tell me the truth about Xingyuan's power, I might be persuaded."

After hearing this, Julius was suddenly speechless.

Shinji Mochizuki smiled deeply, watching Julius in silence, and then whispered to Sensu Shun:

"ten days……"

After he finished speaking, Qian Suxun immediately prepared to take action to deal with the other party.

“Wait.” Julius suddenly looked towards Lin Xian. He saw Grace and Lin Xian standing next to Grace, so he took the initiative to say, “You should be Lin Xian, with mechanical abilities. You are a perfect experimental subject.”

"It's a pity that such a good experimental subject is about to be buried in this abyss. Otherwise, your ability may really be a good solution for us to solve the bottleneck of the life of intelligent machines."

"Can I ask a question?" Lin Xian suddenly asked when he heard the other party talking to him.

Although time was tight, this was Lin Xian's first direct contact with someone from the Crimson World, and the other party was obviously in an important position. They had previously destroyed the Zero Element Center in Yijin City, and with Chu Yan, his understanding of this huge organization was just the tip of the iceberg.

Hearing Lin Xian's words, Qian Suxun stopped what he was doing and did not shoot Julius immediately, but he also warned

"Lin, don't reveal too much information. Even if there is a delay in the information, the content he is communicating with you now will be transmitted to the Crimson World Organization outside Xingyuan."

Lin Xian understood, and immediately looked at Julius and said

"My question is very simple. Are the colossus anchors in Aksai and Weihe targeted at Silent City and me?"

No one present expected that Lin Xian would ask such a question. Only Shinji Mochizuki in the main control room showed some concern in his eyes.

Julius looked at Lin Xian and suddenly smiled silently.

"What a poor fellow..."

"Do you think that your goal is about to be achieved and you can leave without any worries after stealing our research data? Oh, then I will give you a gift by the way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the palm of his raised left hand suddenly cracked open, and a special device appeared from inside, which looked like some kind of control button.

At this moment, Qian Suxun immediately noticed something unusual, frowned, and prepared to control the mecha to open fire.

Julius was extremely fast. He completely ignored the gun and any attacks and pressed down with his left thumb.

"Goodbye, eliminated ones."

But at this moment, just when everyone thought something was going to happen, the air suddenly became quiet.

Julius’ smile froze on his face. He turned his head and saw that his entire left palm had disappeared.

The so-called pressing... is just an action in the air.

"It's a pity that such a good mechanical arm is installed on a pig's brain." In the distance, Lin Xian, who was wearing a Black Hawk power armor, said in a calm voice. If you want to do some mechanical tricks in front of him, it would be like showing off your sword in front of Guan Gong.

"How can you ..."

drop!!

Julius subconsciously tried to understand what was happening to him. All his conscious communications were being transmitted to the outside world in real time. However, before he had time to process what was happening at this moment, his brain-computer core suddenly crashed.

That device is actually a destruction device on the transport ship. In addition to self-destruction, it can also leave a huge amount of darkness pollution to everyone here. Although it is not a direct mark, it can increase the risk and crisis for Lin Xian and others.

At this moment, in a research institute deep underground far beyond Xingyuan, the blond Julius Litt was sitting in an office chair, and intermittent and fuzzy audio was coming from the holographic screen in front of him.

Even though a large number of signal relay stations were set up, the information transmitted from them suffered a loss of more than 90%, so the command within Xingyuan could only be carried out through specially compiled short texts. At this time, he could only hear the vague voices of Lin Xian and Mochizuki Shinji from the audio transmitted from the communication.

Julius looked at the interrupted information on the screen and waited with a frown for the reply of the [Destroy] command. According to the speed of time flow inside, it should be received within a few seconds.

But he waited for several minutes and still didn't receive it.

"The destruction procedure failed. The mechanical ability does have the characteristics of remote control."

A voice came from behind him. Julius turned around. On the large screen behind him, there were several specially processed faces, and each person had a unique code name.

"Our Zero Element Center has been destroyed. The cooperation between this mechanical mutant and Shinji Mochizuki will be a huge hidden danger."

"Julius, ensure the recovery of Crimson 3."

"My Lord has informed me that Dawn City will soon make a big move, and the expansion of the anchor point of Star Abyss No. 5 will be accelerated."

“Got it.” Julius looked at his watch calmly. “It’s almost time. The White City purification work is about to begin. The next activation will be in 24 hours.”

…

At the White City Hospital, next to the crashed transport ship, the raging fire all around illuminated the darkness.

With a thud, Julius, who was still talking just now, collapsed to the ground.

"Thank you for your trust." Lin Xian said to Qian Suxun.

Sensu Shun let out a long sigh. Just when he was about to take action, Lin Xian quietly told him to stop. This made Sensu Shun, who always had a very good mentality, nervous. If Shinji had not ordered that everything should be centered on Lin Xian, he would not have hesitated. However, it seems that Lin Xian has achieved his goal.

"It's okay. You wanted to obtain his memory, and it looks like you succeeded."

Lin Xian nodded: "His brain-computer system is different from others. It took a little time."

At this time, Amano Ran walked over and pulled out a memory stick from the back of Julius' head. She turned to Qian Su Shun and said, "It should be intact."

"Then let's retreat quickly." Qian Dele on the side breathed a sigh of relief. Both transport ships successfully intercepted and obtained the memory. No matter whether it belonged to a certain researcher or this one who seemed to be a certain leader, for them the goal had been achieved. All that was left was for Shinji Mochizuki to crack the information in the memory.

KIKI said to Lin Xian with a somewhat suspicious look on his face: "That guy shouldn't have activated the self-destruct program just now. His device might have some other conspiracy."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian also said to Qian Suxun directly on the communication frequency band

"Don't you find it strange? This transport ship tried so hard to resist, and it could have self-destructed immediately after the crash. I don't believe he came out just to say something boring, and it also gave me the opportunity to control him."

When Lin Xian saw that Amano Ran had obtained the memory, his expression became even more solemn. From his point of view, he would not assume that the people of the Crimson World did not know the characteristics of his mechanical abilities, because Lin Xian's abilities had been widely exposed in Yubei City, Hengshan Pass, and Xilan City. Perhaps for most people, they did not have a particularly detailed understanding of Lin Xian's mechanical abilities, but Lin Xian now led a team of thousands of people and had also experienced Yijin City, so naturally he would not think that his abilities were a secret to an organization like the Crimson World.

Even if the other party really didn't know that he now possessed sophisticated abilities such as remote devouring, scanning, and control, Julius' actions just now were indeed somewhat counterintuitive.

The first transport ship they intercepted, the clones immediately self-destructed after encountering trouble, and this was one of the troubles that had been bothering Mochizuki Shinji and Sensuki Shun and others before, so the situation at this time made Lin Xian realize that something was wrong.

In fact, it was not only him, but also Sensu Shun who had some doubts. Just when he wanted to say something, the voice of Mochizuki Shinji suddenly came from the headphones.

"Xun, use the mecha to check the clone bodies in the transport ship immediately."

Upon hearing this, Qian Suxun immediately controlled the light mecha and rushed directly into the transport ship, and soon obtained the images and information.

"65 clones have self-destructed. There is a suspicious explosive device inside. I think the other party wanted to activate it just now."

"Xun, Lin, this is a conspiracy."

"What!?"

Inside the bunker, Shinji Mochizuki stared intently at all the holographic screens. His quantum brain calculated millions of situations in one second, and he immediately found the problem.

"There are a total of 86 clone corpses on the two transport ships. The last batch sent in at least 1,600 people. According to the data we have been exposed to in the past two months, the lifespan and survival loss rate of clones are around 87% excluding our interference. Therefore, the estimated number of living people who can board the transport ships to go out is around 368. The fluctuation of this data has been steadily increasing from 91.1% at the beginning to now. This is in line with the Crimson World's interest in Xingyuan research and increasing the survival rate. However, this time the number of living people is more than 70% less, so they may have other evacuation plans!"

Judging from the survival rate, there are actually many factors that influence it, such as the special experiments in the Crimson World and the huge risks inside the Star Abyss that are beyond the full control of humans, so there are many situations that can be explained from a computational perspective.

However, when analyzing the logical calculations of the Crimson World organization, Shinji Mochizuki would prioritize thinking from the perspectives of [bad results], [multiple preparations], [no information gap] and excluding [external factors]. Coupled with the unusual direction of the intercepted transport ship this time, he came to such a conclusion!

On this side, Lin Xian and others' expressions changed after hearing the message from Mochizuki Shinji.

At this moment, countless whistling sounds cut through the sky. Everyone looked up and saw dozens of aircraft similar to small rockets launched from the direction of the sewage treatment plant in the dark sky, then quickly turned and dispersed to shoot off in multiple directions!

"Not good!" Sensu Shun shouted softly, and with his rich experience he immediately activated the propulsion system of the light mecha, and the mecha took off directly on the spot. At the same time, KIKI and Ryunosuke also reacted immediately, and both flew up.

"Secretly sneak into Chencang?!" Qian Dele shouted immediately when he saw this scene.

"Does the Crimson World know our plan?" Monica asked doubtfully.

"The other party has always known that we are intercepting their transport ships, but they have never escaped at all costs like this!" Amano Ran said when she saw this scene.

Chen Sixuan's eyes were solemn: "There must be something on these aircraft that they must send out!"

Hearing Chen Sixuan's words, Lin Xian's heart skipped a beat. He took out the memory stick he had just used. His intuition told him that all the clones on the two transport ships were most likely cannon fodder, so the two memories they had obtained were most likely in vain.

Not only that, if the purpose was simply to send something out, these dozens of missiles and rockets would be launched at the same time, and Lin Xian and his team would not be able to intercept them. Therefore, the other party would rather suffer such a huge loss just to complete a secret attack, which means they don't want them to get any rocket. This also means that each of them is a backup!

"It's impossible to catch up, Lin, call them back. The other party has taken such an action, and the next step will definitely be a purge of White City. We need to evacuate quickly!" Qian Suxun said with a gloomy face as he looked at the mecha that was about to lose its signal.

Those rockets can break the speed of sound in a very short time. It is impossible for his mecha or people with flying abilities like KIKI Ryunosuke to catch up with them. After realizing the seriousness of the matter, he made a decision immediately.

But at this time, an intermittent signal came

"Brother Lin, wait for me!!!"

boom!

Just when KIKI and Ryunosuke were helpless even at top speed, a fireball shot up into the sky and headed straight for the nearest rocket, disappearing in the darkness in an instant!

3,000 meters high, the thin air was torn into a cone-shaped sonic boom cloud, and above his head was a huge black sky curtain that swallowed up the starlight. Lu Xingchen's power armor was now red due to the friction of the air, and golden-red plasma streams gushed out from the joints. The helmet eyepiece kept flashing system alarms.

[High temperature alarm, high temperature alarm]

【Overload alarm, overload alarm】

Lu Xingchen's hands spurted out bright white flames, and several Mach rings shattered the air crazily!

Mach 1!

Mach 2!!

Mach 3!!!

The outer layer of the battle suit began to peel off, and the jet flames transformed from red to dark blue. The dark and twisted space in front kept disappearing and reorganizing. In just a few seconds, Lu Xingchen used the Infinity Ring to accelerate himself to the fastest time of his life. He raised his head, and in a flash, he saw the rocket's tail flame that was constantly exploding and accelerating, and he gritted his teeth!

"Monster, don't run away!"

He clenched his right fist into a fire, and the infinite ring spun madly, and then he punched forward with all his strength.

“Divine power!”

In the White City, the sound of countless rockets caused a panic. In the dark streets, countless strange bodies began to move. A huge body was awakened, and there were screams and ridicules from all directions!

Lin Xian and Qian Suxun's team gathered on a rooftop next to the crashed transport ship, looking at the fireballs scattering in the sky with solemn expressions.

Feeling the increasing fear in the city, Shiori used her special powers to help everyone relieve the pressure brought by the invasion of darkness.

"The tide is about to rise!" said Qian Suxun.

Lin Xian looked at the time and there were 5 minutes left.

"Brother Huo is back!" KIKI's voice came from the air, and Lin Xian and his group looked up immediately, only to see a fire meteor approaching them rapidly in the distance. KIKI immediately rose to meet it, and found that Lu Xingchen, who was covered in flames, had his power armor almost completely burned. He was flying from a distance with a half-rocket in one hand, his body charred and in a mess.

Seeing this, KIKI immediately used telekinesis to help him land. At this time, everyone looked at this fire-type mutant with surprise. They didn't expect that this guy could actually recover a rocket.

"Lin Xian, thank you for fulfilling your mission!"

"Brother Huo, how are you?" Lin Xian was the first to notice that something was wrong with this guy's condition.

Lu Xingchen, who was in a dishevel, was gasping for breath. He looked extremely weak, and his eyes were slightly red.

"That's awesome, Brother Huo. I'm impressed by you." KIKI couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw Brother Huo's heroic move.

When Qian Suxun saw Lu Xingchen's appearance, he frowned and immediately asked Shizhi to take action.

"Shiori, purify him quickly. He is exhausted and has absorbed too much power of fear."

"Yeah!" Shiori nodded, and immediately used all her strength to concentrate the green light on Lu Xingchen. At this time, the red in Lu Xingchen's eyes slowly disappeared, and his overall complexion became much better.

Rub, rub, rub.

Qian Suxun walked over in a heavy-duty mecha, the chest armor opened, and a narrow cockpit appeared inside.

"Hurry up and sit down and take a rest. You are not in good condition."

"It's okay, I'm fine." Lu Xingchen tried to pat his sleeves, but there was almost no intact piece of cloth on his body.

Lin Xian saw his embarrassment, and there was no other power armor for him to wear, so he said

"Brother Huo, please go in and take a rest first. We will need you to come down to earth later."

"In that case, then I will..."

Lu Xingchen coughed dryly and said no more nonsense. Before the important clothes on his body fell off, he walked into the mecha.

Qian Suxun controlled the mecha to close the hatch, and soon his holographic panel transmitted Lu Xingchen's vital signs: "He's not in good condition, but he's not injured. Let's go. The tide is rising soon, let's avoid it first!"

Everyone understood immediately and rushed to the morgue below Baicheng Hospital. This was where Ning Jing and the others had been hiding before. The door was destroyed by the Red Man Gui, but Lin Xian directly created multiple sealed doors from the inside out and created lights inside. For a moment, more than a dozen people and several mechas were crowded in the cold morgue.

"Huo, you all come down together. It's much more comfortable here than before." Qian Dele couldn't help but say as he looked at the transparent and bright lights.

They had been hiding here before, and could only rely on the light and electricity of the power armor. He didn't like places like the morgue in the first place, but after Lin Xian's operation, the originally cold and terrifying morgue has now become a temporary shelter for everyone to avoid the rising tide.

The corpses parked there had already decayed a long time ago. There were communication devices installed by the Silent City inside. Many of the metal cabinet doors storing corpses in the cold storage area were half-open. The melted corpse water solidified into a waxy substance on the ground, mixed with broken bones and rotten fabrics. Body bags were piled up in the corners, and several of them burst due to expansion, revealing several carbonized mummies.

Not long after everyone hid inside, the tide began to rise. A chill swept across the land, and the ruins of the hospital building outside were seething.

It was obvious that the burning flames and the crashed transport ship attracted the attention of many strange entities.

In the underground morgue, Lin Xian and Qian Suxun opened the half rocket. As expected, this rocket was not a missile, but a vehicle used by the Crimson World to transport goods outward. After opening the outer shell, everyone was shocked to find that there was a small freezer in the middle. This freezer was different from the others because of its small size and could not accommodate an adult.

Through the transparent cover of the freezing chamber, a completely twisted and deformed clone with all its prosthetic limbs removed appeared in everyone's sight. The strange thing was that on the clone's chest, there was a palm-sized petri dish with a reddish-brown flesh tissue in it. The dish was obviously installed not long ago, and blood that had been frozen dry was still oozing out all around it.

Seeing this strange scene, everyone in the group frowned.

"What is this?" asked Amano Ran

Ning Jing asked in confusion: "Do they want to launch the clones?"

Qian Dele chuckled: "If that's the case, why not just launch the memory directly..."

"No." Lin Xian said: "The way they launch it means that memory is not the main thing. It looks like they need a living body to ship it!"

KIKI nodded: "That makes sense, this clone must still be alive, so the petri dish is most likely the purpose!"

Sensu Shun did not say anything, but quickly sent the details back to Mochizuki Shinji.

Shinji Mochizuki was looking at the freezer, his eyes fixed on the petri dish with some curiosity, and he said:

"Xun, remove the memory and decrypt the contents."

"Understood." Qian Suxun nodded. He looked at Lin Xian: "Lin, I need to remove his memory. Can you control it?"

"Besides," he said, looking at the Grace robot behind him, "I might need her computing power."

Lin Xian understood that Qian Suxun was worried about the self-destruct program, so he directly used the Mechanical Heart to open the hatch, then swallowed up the self-destruct module of the brain-computer and removed the memory.

Then Qian Suxun inserted the memory into the control interface of the light mecha. At this time, Lin Xian asked Grace to come over, connected the docking port of the ACS mecha, and began to parse the memory information.

[Access successful, personnel, Li Tai, 45 years old, former chief biogenetic engineer of Crimson Pharmaceuticals...]

At the same time, Lin Xian asked Grace to synchronize the captured key information to Shinji Mochizuki, who would analyze it as a whole. During this period, Lin Xian did not fully communicate the information about White City with Grace. Regarding the information content about Silent City, Shinji Mochizuki did not let her participate due to some security issues. Therefore, if we want to analyze the situation now, we still have to go through Shinji Mochizuki.

In the bunker's main control room, as messages were transmitted back one after another, the circuits in Shinji Mochizuki's entire control room were glowing, and his intelligent brain was running rapidly.

"I see. They are a group of troublemakers..."

At this time, Mochizuki Shinji sighed meaningfully and said in the communication frequency band.

"It will take some time to fully analyze it, but based on the partial information currently available, we can determine that this memory should contain valid content, and it is also a complete backup."

"Secondly, through the recent retrieval information, they have successfully cultivated dark living cells. This is good news and bad news. The good news is that through this kind of living cells, humans can make unexpected great progress in the research of Xingyuan and dark invasion. Because all biological tissues will lose their activity after being killed by strange bodies, this discovery is likely to allow us to directly find a way to solve the dark invasion, and even have the potential to reverse the fate of human extinction. Of course, the premise is that we can take this thing out intact and conduct research."

"What about the bad news?" Ning Jing asked.

"The bad news is that this was researched by the Crimson World." Lin Xian said directly without waiting for Mochizuki Shinji to speak.

"Yes." Mochizuki Shinji responded: "There is another more troublesome thing, that is, White City is about to enter a purge, but this purge is different from the previous ones. It is not just aimed at us, but is their passive choice."

"Passive choice?"

"What do you mean?" KIKI asked

Qian Su Xun said sternly: "That is to say, this is not something that the Crimson World can control."

"That's right."

Shinji Mochizuki said at this time: "These guys conducted some kind of experiment under the sewage treatment plant and alarmed Target 01, so their evacuation plan this time is on the one hand to deal with us, and on the other hand, they must take away the backup of the institute and the living cell samples they have researched before cleaning and destroying them!"

"Target No. 01!" Qian Dele said in surprise: "Hey, isn't that the Xingyuan Overlord? "

Qian Suxun took a deep breath and nodded.

Instantly, the air in the entire morgue suddenly froze.

The Abyss Monster is coming!

At this moment, above the dark sky, wild thunder exploded, and the twisted black fog seemed to separate heaven and earth. In the dark forest beside the bottomless lake, on the positions of hundreds of united trains, countless survivors looked out through the windows at the eerie dark sky outside, as if they felt a slight tremor in the air, and an extremely oppressive and suffocating breath seemed to pour down from the huge curtain of the sky!

In the morgue of Baicheng Hospital, the atmosphere was cold and quiet. Lin Xian's eyes narrowed slightly. While everyone was stunned and silent, he continued to contact Mochizuki Shinji: "Is there still time?"

Shinji Mochizuki said without further ado, "Target No. 01 has already started to approach from the center, but the White City target has not been completely exposed, so the Crimson World must ensure that the living cell samples are recovered before sending back activation instructions to the inside to completely expose the target and complete the White City cleansing!"

"These guys are really..." Qian Dele sneered when he heard this, and now he couldn't find any words to curse.

Monica stood quietly at the back and asked, "What if this command is intercepted?"

"Impossible..." Amano Ran shook her head and said, "Intercepting their signal repeater is like looking for a needle in a haystack. And from the looks of it, even if we succeed, it will only prevent White City from being exposed so quickly. But the Star Abyss beast is already approaching here."

"No, what she means is that we go directly into the sewage treatment plant and solve their device before sending back the instructions!" Lin Xian said immediately.

Amano Ran, Ryunosuke and Shiori all frowned when they heard this.

"Shinji." Qian Su Xun looked at Lin Xian at this time and asked Mochizuki Shinji through the communicator: "Is the time Lin said enough?"

"Maybe..." Shinji Mochizuki took a deep breath. "In the Star Abyss, this kind of rocket can only use inertial guidance. It has a predetermined coordinate. After it flies out, people outside will recover it at a fixed point. However, due to signal delay and accuracy issues, recovery will take some time. According to the efficiency of the Crimson World, it may only take a few minutes to more than ten minutes."

"But we have 12 times more time!"

Just after Mochizuki Shinji finished speaking, Lin Xian said in a stern voice: "Even if it takes 5 minutes outside, we still have 1 hour here, minus the high tide. We still have a chance before the next high tide, right?"

Hearing what Lin Xian said, everyone including Qian Suxun looked a little surprised. After he said this, the difference in the speed of time flow inside and outside the Xingyuan seemed to have given them a critical opportunity!

Everyone held their breath, waiting for a response from Shinji Mochizuki.

After a long time, the clear voice of Shinji Mochizuki was heard through everyone's communicator.

"Yes."
