Chapter 347 High-altitude interception! (12,000, 2 in 1 extra chapter!)
In the underground shelter hall of Baicheng Railway Station, the air seemed to be completely frozen.
Sizzle!
The lighting system created by Lin Xian emitted strange flickering sounds, and a scarlet color began to fill the entire space.
Lin Xian, Chen Sixuan, KIKI, Huo Ge, and Shiori were standing in a row at this moment, all of them had tense expressions, as if they were facing a great enemy!
Countless scarlet tentacles slowly grew in all directions, with a glowing egg sheath covered with blood-red lines in the center. It seemed to be filled with some kind of liquid and kept expanding. Finally, this scarlet thing began to expand to the entire wall before it stopped expanding. Only those smooth red tentacles kept swinging, looking weird and terrifying!
"Lin Xian, do you want to take action?!" KIKI asked in a low voice
Lu Xingchen saw it, his hands were burning with anger, and he was ready to take action at any time.
Lin Xian got ready. It was high tide now. If they were marked, hiding in this airtight basement would be tantamount to cutting off their own escape route. They would definitely be surrounded by endless strange creatures, so he was ready to use the gravitational lens at the first possible moment to kill these strange creatures at all costs.
But the strange thing is that after the scarlet thing grew out, there was no movement at all. The soul-devastating value detector did not detect any dark mark. Apart from the horrifying scarlet picture, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
No attack, no sound.
All everyone saw was the countless tentacles swimming slowly.
Shiori, who was standing next to Lin Xian, looked nervous and whispered in the communicator: "There is a strong dark aura, and... there is also one outside."
When she said outside, she was referring to the passenger station hall and the rail station at that time.
Boom boom boom, bang bang bang ~
Even through the thick floor layer, Lin Xian could still hear the sounds of large numbers of creatures crawling and moving in the parking lot above and even in the rail station. The sounds were constantly transmitted through the concrete building, making people feel their scalp tingling.
Even the signal was seriously affected by the rising tide. At this time, Chen Sixuan suddenly said
"Lin Xian, something is coming down!"
Hearing this, Lin Xian looked at the scarlet object and frowned, "We clearly don't have a dark mark, could it be that this thing attracted us?"
"KIKI, Brother Huo..."
"Forest!"
Just as Lin Xian was about to call a few people to destroy the scarlet object, Mochizuki Shinji's voice suddenly came from the headset. The signal delay allowed him to finally receive the picture sent back by Shiori, who said to Lin Xian:
"That's a disaster plant. Hurry up and remove the roots, otherwise many weird beings will find out. The temptation of that thing is comparable to the mark of prey!"
Lin Xian and the others all turned pale when they heard this. Disaster plants?
How does this look like a plant?
Shiori also reacted after hearing what Shinji said, and said in surprise: "Yes! We also encountered it on the third night of entering Xingyuan, but it was different from this one. It grew in the passage of the bunker. It was collected by Lan after it was pulled out. Its characteristics are not clear yet, but it is indeed a disaster plant."
She pointed to the huge scarlet egg case and said, "Pull it off first, otherwise it will attract many weird creatures."
"KIKI!" After hearing Shiori's words, Lin Xian let KIKI take action without hesitation.
KIKI nodded, gritted his teeth, and immediately stepped forward and used his telekinesis to grab the scarlet thing with countless tentacles attached to the wall, then pulled it hard.
Hiss!
In an instant, everyone only heard the sound of wall and biological tissue being torn apart frantically. Under KIKI's mental power, the scarlet thing seemed to be frightened, and countless tentacles began to twist rapidly. But the next moment, its entire body was torn off the wall by KIKI's powerful mental power. Countless red blood splashed, and the wall peeled off. Under the flickering light and shadow, the dense tentacle shadows twisted and swayed wildly in the entire shelter hall. The scene was horrifying!
KIKI shouted secretly and pulled back with his right hand. The scarlet object that looked like a huge sea anemone was finally pulled down. In an instant, half of the floor and walls of the hall were infected by the "plasma". At this time, the flashing lights stopped immediately, and the countless tentacles on the scarlet object stopped swinging after they were detached.
Lin Xian and others couldn't help but step back when they saw this scene. At this time, the restless sounds on the floor gradually disappeared, and the crawling sounds deep underground also stopped abruptly.
Chen Sixuan looked around and even held her breath. She only saw the tentacles on the detached scarlet object fading, shrinking and dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a pool of thick brown-red water on the ground. The huge glowing egg sheath was twisting, and the light inside gradually shrank and disappeared. Finally, the membrane egg sheath broke open, leaving only thick water on the ground. In the center, a scarlet blood vine emerged with a few leaves scattered on it, looking like a seedling.
"It's a disaster plant indeed!"
Chen Sixuan's face was filled with horror. It was the first time for them to see the growth of disaster plants. But it didn't look like a plant at all. It was clearly a mutation caused by a strange creature parasitizing on some plant.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xian's expression was slightly stern. He raised his hand and created a plant cultivation chamber like the one that previously held the regional black chrysanthemum. To be cautious, he asked KIKI to use telekinesis to grab the blood vine.
KIKI hooked his finger, and the blood vine, which was as thick as a little finger and only a dozen centimeters long, twisted and flew over. Then, Lin Xian put it into a sealed plant culture chamber. At this time, several people took a closer look and found that the appearance of this blood vine was very similar to the smooth skin of those scarlet tentacles just now. If it weren't for those leaves, it wouldn't look like a plant at all.
At this time, the shelter hall was completely quiet. The power armor detected that the air environment they were in was polluted, but fortunately, each of them was wearing full-coverage armor, which made them much more adaptable to the harsh environment.
A few people retreated to a clean corner and waited quietly for the tide to recede. Lin Xian arranged for Grace to patrol around the shelter hall and detect any subtle movements. After discovering that the shelter hall had not been attacked, everyone finally let go of their worries.
“You are very lucky.”
At this time, the voice of Shinji Mochizuki came. He stood in the main control room, looking at the blood vine images sent back, and said
"Disaster plants, forbidden objects, and human superpowers all have similar characteristics. They are all mutations caused by the existence of the Blue Planet under the influence of the dark forces. However, the number of plant mutations is too small, and all living things except humans are almost extinct. In my opinion, humans have never seen the true existence in the darkness."
Lin Xian responded, "Are you talking about those S-level weird entities as well?"
When Mochizuki Shinji heard Lin Xian's words, he smiled slightly and said something thought-provoking.
"As an intelligent creature, you cannot describe something that does not exist. Everything you can describe essentially has a prototype in human cognition, right?"
Lin Xian thought about it subconsciously and was suddenly stunned. Mochizuki Shinji's words undoubtedly pointed out a question that had been in his mind for a long time.
From the white giant monster, the red centipede, the three-headed spider at the beginning, including the atmospheric mica and black thorns in the clouds encountered later, they all seemed to be horrible creations mutated from human natural creatures. It was after seeing the mother nest that Lin Xian began to have a new understanding of the strange bodies, but it also showed that what Mochizuki Shinji said was correct.
Lin Xian was looking at the blood vine in the plant cabin at this moment, and he guessed that if he brought it back to Director Ding, she would definitely know what family of plant it originally belonged to.
After thinking about it this way, Lin Xian felt that humans’ understanding of dark creatures might have been wrong from the beginning, or their current understanding was still zero.
"Oh, right." Mochizuki Shinji turned around and said to Lin Xian calmly, "I have always believed that superpowers, forbidden objects, and disaster plants, which are energy forms infected by dark forces, [deconstruct] our world. This power that can deconstruct the world not only destroys the world but also brings us some 'benefits'. But in essence, we don't need these 'benefits', haha, of course, except for those fanatics who want to build a new civilization..."
"So no matter whether it's a disaster plant or a superpower, the more concentrated it is, the stronger this [deconstruction] power will be. Maybe I've made it a little complicated. The general meaning is that the dark power does not belong to us, so this is a double-edged sword. There are some slight differences between my personal philosophy and that of the Phoenix Society. The Phoenix Society is betting on both the dark power and human technology to protect human civilization, but I only study the dark power and do not advocate the strengthening and development of superpowers. After all, humans are just humans."
"Very profound insights." Lin Xian did not express his opinion.
At this time, a message from Infinity finally reached Lin Xian after a period of delay.
"According to the description, it should be a species of the genus Thornvine. If it matures, I can learn its characteristics."
"Lin Xian, Silver Dragon... 100,000 mistakes... has grown a second inflorescence."
The person on the other end of the message was Ding Junyi. At this moment, at the defense line of the United Train far away at the edge of the Dark Forest of the Bottomless Lake, Ding Junyi was in the No. 3 carriage of the Infinity. With a strange light of supernatural power in her eyes, she slowly urged to contact the silver dragon Shiwancuo in front of her. Now, her control over her supernatural power has become deeper and deeper, and her research on disaster plants has begun to show signs.
"It seems that the growth rate of the disaster plants in the Xingyuan will be accelerated, but this situation does not seem to be defined as 'growth'. It should be said to be a kind of..."
She wanted to say a lot, but the information was greatly delayed, and even the words from Lin Xian that came back were intermittent, and many of them could not be heard clearly.
"I'll explain when I get back."
In the underground shelter, Lin Xian only caught one piece of information from Ding Junyi, that is, the Silver Dragon Shiwancuo had opened a second inflorescence. This was undoubtedly absolutely good news, which meant that the United Train Group had another chance to "clear".
However, although the power of this disaster plant is extremely valuable, Lin Xian also hopes not to use it. After leaving the Star Abyss, it grows slowly. Keeping it means having more life-saving trump cards.
After thinking about it, Lin Xian withdrew his thoughts and handed the blood vine to Chen Sixuan.
"Teacher Chen, it will be the same later. We will go out five minutes after the tide goes out, and you will occupy the commanding heights on the bell tower."
"good."
"KIKI Huo, you two stand guard in the east and west respectively. I will build docking equipment at the orbital station. The next time the tide rises, we will be back here 5 minutes in advance."
"Shiori, just stay with me."
Shiori nodded, and KIKI said, "Won't this thing attract strange entities? Is it really convenient for us to carry it with us?"
"Did you throw it away?" Lin Xian smiled and said, "We are fine now, which means that the impact range of this thing after it was taken off is limited. Have you forgotten that when we were in Yu Town before, that fake person only discovered the existence of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum after boarding the Infinity, so I asked Teacher Chen to take it."
Chen Sixuan is wearing Black Hawk armor and has strong reconnaissance capabilities. She is the best candidate Lin Xian can think of. If a monster approaches, she can be the first to react.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Chen Sixuan took the small plant cultivation chamber, looked at it in front of her, and said, "This thing looks stranger than the two disaster plants we had before. I wonder what its effect will be."
"As long as there are no side effects." Lin Xian said frankly.
Naturally he also listened to what Shinji Mochizuki said. Now for the Infinity, there are three disastrous plants, three forbidden objects, and as many as 11 psychics, not to mention Chen Sixuan, Shu Qin, Lu Chang, Miao Lu and Shasha, these evolutionary masters, plus Lin Xian's high-energy weapons and unlimited ammunition supply, the Infinity's combat effectiveness and survivability are extremely strong. What Shinji Mochizuki meant in his words was the negative effects of these dark forces gathering together.
However, Shinji Mochizuki did not know that Lin Xian's disaster plants and forbidden objects were protective artifacts such as the Regional Black Chrysanthemum and the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube, which offset most of the harm caused by the dark invasion to the entire group.
At this moment, Lin Xian was looking at the images from the several monitors he had left at the orbital station, waiting for the tide to recede with a serious expression.
At the entrance of the passenger hall, outside the rail station, and on one side of the square, the monitors were filled with snowflake ripples distorted by the dark power. In the blurry black and green images, various strange creatures were seen wandering from time to time. In the streets in the distance, a large number of strange bodies rushed out of the city. The entire White City was boiling in the darkness.
13:35
The dark tide receded, and at this moment, the 'boiling' scene seemed to disappear suddenly in an instant. According to Shinji Mochizuki's inference, these strange bodies stitched together from the mother nest were continuously stretched by space to the dark far end of the Xingyuan with the ebb and flow of the tide.
Perhaps it is at the edge of the star abyss, perhaps in the polar night disaster area, or in the shadow corners of other areas not covered by the polar night, whispering eerily, waiting for an opportunity, hunting down the fleeing human survivors.
Lin Xian and the others also felt as if a heavy pressure had been lifted from their bodies. Looking at the time, they once again opened the explosion-proof door of the underground shelter and returned to the deathly silent Baicheng Rail Station.
"Split up!"
Lin Xian seized the time and immediately came to the previously marked location. This was a section of track along the east line of Baicheng Rail Station that led out of the city at Wangshankou. The terrain was open, and if a combined train flew over from a high altitude, this would be the best connecting section.
However, it is also a helpless measure to say that it is the best option. Large areas of the tracks here have been decayed and now they must be partially demolished and rebuilt. Otherwise, even with the electromagnetic buffer array, the tracks will definitely collapse when a high-speed train weighing tens of thousands of tons rushes down.
At this time, the two electromagnetic buffer array robotic arms hoisted by the drone began to perform fixed-point loading. Lin Xian directly started manufacturing with both hands. Countless materials flew out, and two new robotic arms began to take shape.
In order to ensure that the calculations were correct, Lin Xian asked Grace to assist him in precise positioning and debugging, while KIKI, Brother Huo, and Chen Sixuan were responsible for helping Lin Xian to guard the surroundings.
The girl named Shiori would help Lin Xian to purify some of the dark invasions from time to time, and restore some of her energy at the same time.
Although Lin Xian knew that Shiori was sending the images of him making machines back to Mochizuki Shinji, he didn't care, because the girl's special ability did provide him with great help. Before, he was able to carry out overnight manufacturing on the Infinity because he had the protection of the Heterogeneous Cube and the purification of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum. Now that he was alone in the Star Abyss Space, KIKI Huoge could concentrate on staying rational, but he had to do two things at the same time to operate the Mechanical Heart. Without Shiori's help, the pressure on him would be enormous.
Buzz!
Every once in a while, Shiori would use a green light curtain on him, which would instantly make Lin Xian feel a burst of coolness and warmth all over his body, and even his attention would be focused a lot.
Lin Xian looked at the team's vital signs on the holographic panel and found that Shiori's heart rate would increase greatly every time she used it, which forced her to stop for a while before she could continue to use her supernatural powers. It can be seen that such supernatural powers consume a lot of energy for her.
"Thank you." Lin Xian said to her.
"Ah..." Shizhi didn't expect Lin Xian to suddenly talk to him. She was surprised for a moment, and then she responded politely: "You're welcome. We are teammates. This is what I should do."
In the main control room of the underground fortress, Mochizuki Shinji stared at the scene of Lin Xian making machines. The pupils of the nanomachines kept shrinking and expanding, and he said to himself:
“This is the most interesting creativity I’ve seen since the Apocalypse.”
"It seems that what that annoying businessman said was right. There is indeed one more thing in the world that interests me..."
On Lin Xian's side, with the information and technical support of Shinji Yokozuki, the construction of the docking device went exceptionally smoothly, except for the situation encountered when just entering the orbital station. Sensu Shun and Ning Jing encountered some troubles with strange bodies, but they were all resolved in a short time. It is precisely because of such precise control that it also explains why the core team of Silent City was able to lurk here for two months.
The only problem is that the power of the dark invasion cannot be resolved. Even if this core team concentrates Shinji Mochizuki's wisdom, they cannot survive for too long, so he plans to complete the evacuation within two weeks.
However, the appearance of Lin Xian not only disrupted his plan, but also might solve Mochizuki Shinji's biggest trouble. Thousands of people on the joint train could not wait for two weeks, so the plan to escape from Xingyuan must be advanced!
19:05
At this time, the internal tide started again, and Lin Xian and everyone else hid in the underground shelter.
"The docking device has been manufactured. From now on, we will wait here for the transport ship from the Crimson World to appear."
A flash of green light passed by, and KIKI and the others breathed a sigh of relief. She panted and said to Shiori:
"This environment is so depressing, it's hard to imagine how you could stay here for so long."
Brother Huo also nodded: "I also hate days without sunshine."
Shiori said at this time: "We have stored a lot of supplies, and we spend most of our time in the bunker. In addition to the protection of the blood magnolia, we have to drink vegetable juice every day, so..."
Lin Xian looked at her and said, "The hundreds of people in the bunker should be the maintenance and armed personnel of Silent City."
"It's just a small part." Shiori explained: "Our main force has already escaped through City No. 2 and is currently docked in Luling Forest."
"Wait here?" Chen Sixuan asked, "100,000 people will consume a lot of supplies."
"With so many people, can things remain stable without you core figures?" KIKI also asked at this time.
"This..." Faced with this question, the girl obviously had no answer.
Lin Xian did not continue the conversation. After installing the docking device, he had asked Grace to send the path information back to the joint train position. After that, as long as Shinji Mochizuki operated the Silent City to remotely launch the superconducting suspension magnetic anchor array device, the train would be able to rush into the suspension magnetic field path along the acceleration track. There might be some risks involved, such as the car being torn apart and some people with mechanical prostheses being injured by strong magnets.
Although Lin Xian had Grace perform precise calculations for these situations, it was impossible to be completely risk-free for a 15-kilometer-long train with hundreds of carriages that were spontaneously modified by the survivors and had hidden dangers in performance and quality. But as long as the train could be brought from the dark forest to the White City track, the plan would be half successful.
19:20.
Sizzle!
Just when the tide was halfway through, the communicators of everyone on Lin Xian's side suddenly made a loud noise. The sound came from Ning Jing's team in Baicheng Hospital. On the holographic screen, all the information of Team No. 2 was instantly offline from the system.
Lin Xian's face changed and he immediately tried to contact Ning Jing.
"Sister Ning, Qian Dele, Monica!"
No one responded.
At the same time, Qian Suxun's voice sounded in the communicator: "They encountered the Red Man Trickster. We will go to support them immediately after the tide goes down. Lin, you stay put. The Crimson World may be waiting for an opportunity to make a move!"
Lin Xian took a breath when he heard that, and the others were also nervous at this moment.
"Five more minutes!" Lin Xian said.
Chen Sixuan frowned: "Is the Red Man Ghost so powerful? It's impossible that Ning Jing and the others are so weak that they don't even have room for resistance, right?"
KIKI shook her head: "No, this situation is more like some kind of electromagnetic shielding effect!"
Qian Suxun said at this time: "Yes, this is not the first time this has happened. The Red Man Ghost is dispatched, which means that the transport ship of the Crimson World will also be dispatched."
This situation is not unfamiliar to the people of Silent City. Judging from Qian Suxun's reaction, he was obviously on guard, so Lin Xian also calmed down and said to KIKI and Huo Ge
"The transport ship is moving pretty fast. If they monitor its path, we must intercept it in the sky immediately, KIKI."
KIKI nodded: "I know."
"Lin, be on guard. The people from the Crimson World outside Xingyuan have a grasp of the situation in the city 12 times faster than us. They have been dealing with us in the previous few interceptions. So, be careful. Those clones are not stupid." Mochizuki Shinji's voice was also heard at this time.
Lin Xian looked at the time on the screen. After the tide receded, they had one hour. The Crimson World also had one hour. They could escape by using aircraft to run outside of Xingyuan at any cost.
The Crimson World has rehearsed this death plan countless times, and its efficiency is outrageous. Because of the time difference between the inside and the outside, if Lin Xian fails today, it means he may have to wait for 6 days or more. Artificial intelligence like Mochizuki Shinji does not have to worry about it, but for Lin Xian and the United Train Group, it is impossible to wait that long.
19.30
At this time, Qian Suxun and others in an underground facility in the central square were staring at the time. Above their heads, the huge mother nest was roaring, as if even the earth was shaking.
Qian Suxun looked at the surveillance screen calmly, while operating several micro drones in the dark.
"There's an outbreak of corpse gas in Baicheng Hospital, and the signal has been interfered with. It must be the red ghost from last time."
"We must kill it this time." Ryunosuke said in a low voice from the back.
"This one is a little more troublesome than the previous ones. It has a higher level of awareness and runs faster." Lan, wearing a high-powered battle armor, crossed his arms across his chest, his eyes full of ferocity.
Qian Suxun said, "No, killing the Red Man Gui is not the most important thing."
At this moment, in his surveillance footage, in the huge sewage pool of the sewage treatment plant, the water flowed away to both sides, and underneath was actually a large aircraft elevator. At this moment, two transport ships shining with light slowly rose from the ground.
Seeing this scene, Qian Suxun frowned: "Two, they are going to run separately..."
"And it means there is more than one Red Man Trickster in the city!"
At the Baicheng Rail Station, Lin Xian and several others were standing fully armed at the entrance of the shelter hall, waiting for the tide to recede and then opening the explosion-proof door.
But at this time, Qian Suxun's voice came from the communicator: "Lin, be careful!"
null!
As soon as the communicator's voice fell, a huge bang was suddenly heard outside the explosion-proof door. The two-meter-high circular explosion-proof door exploded inward, leaving a large hole. A broken alloy bearing behind the door shot directly towards Lin Xian!
Lin Xian didn't move, and the broken bearing was strangely frozen in front of the door of his power armor.
KIKI's eyes sparkled, and he threw the broken metal on the ground. Lin Xian said in a deep voice: "Get ready!"
Before Qian Suxun's voice was heard, Chen Sixuan had already caught the movement outside, and they were all prepared.
While catching his breath, Lin Xian realized that the explosion-proof door could not withstand the second impact, so he directly used the Mechanical Heart to control it and force it open.
Bang!
The next moment, a huge axe flew out from the passage outside the explosion-proof door and chopped down on everyone with great force.
KIKI immediately used his telekinesis to grab the giant axe in mid-air. At this moment, a tall black shadow wrapped in a strange black leather jacket, wearing a tall hat and with red eyes, walked into the hall. This monster was filled with a boiling corpse aura all over his body, and there were strong fluctuations in the Soul-Dangling Value all over his body, causing the Soul-Dangling Value detector to flash continuously.
"Lin, there are two transport ships, one of which is on your path!"
"Got it!" Lin Xian responded coldly, and immediately the drone blasted out dozens of pulse beams!
At this time, the tall red ghost suddenly swung his left arm forward, causing waves of silver scales in the air, as if causing some kind of distortion in the air. The pulse light of the Thunder Falcon UAV blasted forward and caused a violent explosion, but the next moment, the red ghost rushed over as if unscathed. At this time, everyone saw that under the top hat was a humanoid creature like a black mummy, with the red light in its eyes seeming to be some kind of mechanical device. The ghost's hands flashed with a gray-white light, and he rushed forward, punching Lin Xian and the others head-on.
boom!
In an instant, an extremely strange corpse gas accompanied by energy shock burst out and rushed directly towards him.
However, the exploding energy at this moment was like hitting an invisible defensive shield covered with hexagonal patterns, and all the air currents bypassed Lin Xian and the others.
The red man's mechanical eyes saw this scene and glanced around hesitantly.
"Shield, right? I have one too." Electric light flashed on Lin Xian's body, and the AT force field shield protected everyone behind him. At the moment when the red ghost hesitated, a powerful force directly rolled it up and blasted it towards the distant wall like a bullet. For a moment, a big hole appeared in the thick concrete wall, and smoke, dust and gravel burst out.
As soon as KIKI made a move, Lu Xingchen also attacked.
"Evil monster, let me give you a taste of the divine fire of heaven!"
He floated up and shot out, approaching at high speed. With both hands gathering fire, he suddenly shot out two red-silver-like pillars of fire in the opposite direction forward.
"Zhou Lian!"
Wow! In an instant, the entire shelter hall erupted with blazing flames, boiling hot air gushed out, and the two incandescent flames directly hit the red man ghost. Just when everyone thought that the monster was melted, Chen Sixuan suddenly discovered that the area burned by the fire core was constantly emitting gray corpse gas, and a large number of silver scale ripples were shaking. She immediately said
“Still alive!”
Lin Xian also saw this scene. He looked at the time and saw that the tide had not yet ended. The violent fluctuations immediately caused a strange buzzing sound above the building, so he immediately ordered Grace to
"Grace, block the stairway!"
Grace Understands
The tide was about to end, and he had to prevent the team from being marked before the monster tide came in, so as to reduce the pressure to the greatest extent possible.
At this time, a green light enveloped everyone, and Shiori also used her purification ability.
KIKI used his telekinesis and immediately said to Lu Xingchen: "Be careful, it can block your fire."
"Then increase the burning!" Lu Xingchen had been staying in the darkness for a whole night and was already in a depressed mood. If it was a strange body, it would be fine, but this mutated human being could actually resist his heavenly fire. Wouldn't his title of Fire God be in vain?
Just as he finished speaking, a concrete stone suddenly shot out and hit Lu Xingchen's power armor helmet head-on, causing his eyes to go black and he flew backwards, and the flames on his hands disappeared.
"Fuck you..." Before Lu Xingchen could finish his curse, he had already crashed into the wall. Fortunately, he had a power armor to protect him, otherwise this blow would have been enough to hurt him.
KIKI didn't react in time. The monster was actually throwing stones. She looked over and saw that the entire wall was burning red, but the monster had disappeared.
The next moment, a strong airflow came from the side. Chen Sixuan turned sideways and fired an armor-piercing bullet into the shadow. The bullet made a dull penetrating sound and hit the target directly. A hoarse roar from the throat was heard in the air. KIKI captured this moment, raised his hand and rolled up the mental power like a huge wall, which rolled towards the shadow. He immediately grabbed the red man and lifted him into the air.
At this time, through the lighting in the hall, everyone saw that the leather clothes on the red ghost had been completely melted by Brother Huo's fire. It turned out to be a "human" who looked to be at least 2.5 meters tall, with strong skin like rotten and proliferating charred iron. The most terrifying thing was that the abdomen, shoulders, spine, and back of the head of this monster were all various metal mechanical embedded devices, and the joints were roughly stitched with metal. Grayish-white corpse gas kept oozing out of his body, causing Lin Xian and their information system to constantly send out misaligned signals.
"This thing is so strong!" Although she caught the red ghost with telekinesis, KIKI felt a strong resistance at this moment, which made her unable to help but use her hands.
A large number of silver scale ripples appeared around the strange man, and it let out a strange roar, as if it was constantly struggling.
Lin Xian stood in place, and at this moment he noticed that the red man ghost's pair of red eyes were staring at him. All of them were wearing full-covering armor, and the red man ghost seemed to be capturing their information.
"Scan? No need for that."
Lin Xian's eyes focused, he raised his hand and grabbed, directly swallowing a section of the energy transmission device on the red man ghost's spine. In an instant, the red eyes of the red man ghost went out, and the violent struggle just now also stopped.
"Dead?"
"No." Lin Xian was controlling 25 Thunder Falcon drones to fly close above the red monster, aiming at the head.
At this moment, the red ghost, who had lost some kind of inhibition, suddenly opened his eyes again, and his whole body trembled violently.
Whoosh! But in the next moment, countless pulse lasers were fired at the same time before he could react. The high-energy pulse lasers almost instantly wiped out the head.
At this time, a burst of black gas came out of the whole body of the completely dead Red Man Ghost, and his body finally stopped shaking.
"Hiss~" On the other side, Brother Huo got up from the ground and walked over with a depressed look on his face: "This monster's ability is so strange, it can actually block fire?"
"It should be some kind of energy-type ability, but there is no way to defend against it all the time." Lin Xian looked at the big bloody hole on the monster's chest. It was caused by Chen Sixuan's shot just now. This meant that as long as the opportunity was seized, it would not be too difficult to solve it.
KIKI breathed a sigh of relief, threw the red ghost's body on the ground, and said, "It's not as powerful as they say."
Her words made Huo Ge beside her look a little embarrassed. The girl named Shiori said at this time: "It must have used a lot of energy to block the flames just now."
Lin Xian also nodded: "If this thing is not mechanical, it will be a bit tricky to deal with."
As he spoke, he looked towards the far end of the passage. At this moment, bursts of bombardment and hissing sounds were heard from there. It should be that Grace encountered the strange creature over there.
This trouble was also caused by the Red Man Ghost. Its ability to move in the dark was a great advantage in itself.
After hearing what Lin Xian and Shizhi said, Brother Huo's face looked a little better. He said, "I was a little careless. Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. I should have used the ultimate killing move against this thing just now..."
Lu Xingchen did not launch his ultimate move directly. His habit was to test the waters first. This small space also limited his ability to perform. However, it was still somewhat embarrassing to be hit on the head by a stone from the monster.
Lin Xian didn't care about these. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of spatial hysteresis and immediately looked at the time.
19:35
The tide is going out!
"Teacher Chen, protect Shiori, KIKI, let's go intercept the transport ship, Brother Huo, clear the passage!"
“I couldn’t ask for more!”
Lu Xingchen, holding his breath, flew out directly, like a meteor rushing out of the passage. Here, Grace alone resisted the large number of strange bodies that were pouring in. The ground was littered with the corpses of strange bodies that had been torn to pieces by her. When Lu Xingchen rushed over, Grace was being bitten by a giant insect that had half of its body bitten by the insect, which was trying to bite her to pieces.
"Fire Fist!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Xingchen burst into anger and punched the giant insect, burning the upper half of it. Grace landed lightly from the air, with no injuries on her body except for the blood plasma.
After the tide receded, most of the strange creatures in the passage and the passenger station above disappeared instantly. The few remaining low-level ones were dealt with by Grace and Brother Huo KIKI who came from behind. Then KIKI took Lin Xian, Grace and Brother Huo to fly high into the sky, while Chen Sixuan and Shiori climbed onto the roof of the rail station to provide cover.
Time was running out, and almost at the moment the tide receded, the surveillance information of the Silent City discovered that the two transport ships of the sewage treatment plant were taking off at high speed in the southeast direction respectively. KIKI used telekinesis to continuously increase the altitude while adjusting the direction at the surveillance anchor point of the Silent City. The purpose was to lock the course and altitude before the transport ships accelerated to supersonic speed so that they could intercept them.
This was the first time that Lin Xian and KIKI had encountered such a thing, but the current situation did not allow them to hesitate at all, as the other party was obviously also prepared in some way.
Wow! Wow!
As he rose into the air at high speed, Lin Xian only felt that the air and twisted black fog around him gradually became thicker, and a dead silence and oppression hung above his head. Looking down, the dark outline of the white city below had gradually disappeared, and there was a black airspace all around, which looked like floating in a black hole-like universe.
"3 seconds, target approaching!"
After Lin Xian finished speaking, he turned to Brother Huo in the airspace behind him and said, "KIKI Brother Huo, if Grace is not caught, just blow up the transport ship!"
What Lin Xian needs to do is to capture the escaped clones inside and control their brain-computer devices before they activate their memory self-destruction. This operation is already easy for Lin Xian.
The red ghost just now had extremely complex mechanical inhibitors all over his body. If he wanted to scan it, it would take some time. But if he just wanted to deal with it, he only needed to melt the energy supply device on it to shut down the target directly.
For machines, Lin Xian is their natural nemesis, including the previous solution to Grace in Yijin City. However, in order to seize this intelligent computer, Lin Xian only controlled its power module.
But the current problem is that the speed of the transport ship at this distance is likely to exceed Mach 1, and the instantaneous overload of the interception will definitely exceed 30G. Even if Lin Xian is wearing the Black Hawk armor, he can't withstand it.
Grace was carrying a round suction bomb at this time. This was the interception plan arranged by Shinji Mochizuki. As long as the bomb exploded, the power and electrical systems of the transport ship would be shut down in an instant!
However, to be on the safe side, Lin Xian still let KIKI and Brother Huo serve as the second plan.
"Understood!" Brother Huo responded immediately.
Several people were floating in the air at this time, and KIKI had a serious expression on his face.

There was no sound. In the dark airspace ahead, a ray of light suddenly broke through the black fog. In an instant, a large silver-black human transport ship appeared in front of several people. At this moment, it seemed that all sounds between heaven and earth had disappeared.
KIKI groaned, wrapped Grace with telekinesis and pressed her directly onto the top of the transport ship. At the same time, he used telekinesis waves to form a huge wall, trying to slow down the speed of the transport ship.
In an instant, KIKI felt her whole body tremble, and the mental power she controlled loosened instantly. However, in this brief moment, Grace had already smashed onto the top of the transport ship like an iron nail.
boom!
At this moment, on the transport ship, more than a dozen people wearing uniform clothes and whose bodies had been transformed with prosthetic limbs all felt a huge vibration, as if they had hit a super strong airflow.
These people included both men and women, and judging from their appearance, almost all of them were young people. However, everyone had a strange and stiff expression, and their eyes were filled with a strong sense of decadence, as if some people over 40 years old were placed in these bodies.
After hearing the sound of metal clashing, a young man who looked to be in his twenties stood up and looked up with a cold gaze.
“What’s that sound?!”
[External intrusion detected] An alarm sounded from inside the transport ship at this time.
At this time, the dozen people all changed color, and a woman immediately said
"It's that group of people, prepare to activate the self-destruct sequence!"
"No, have we run into some strange creature?" another middle-aged man said with a gloomy face and panic in his eyes. The hyphae on the back of his head had almost covered the back of his ears. Everyone here has a dark golden brain-computer device installed on the back of their head, and a large amount of white hyphae covers the head.
"The Red Man Ghost has been dispatched. We should be able to leave now..."
The woman immediately stood up, her eyes grim, and said in a tone that was totally inconsistent with her age: "Dr. Zhao, you have serious cowardly tendencies in your personality. The organization's secrets are sacred and inviolable. Even if you get out alive, you will be 'reclaimed'!"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant... I said..."
Bang, hiss!
Even as they were talking, a huge explosion was heard, and the interior of the transport ship went dark in an instant. After the power disappeared, a strong feeling of weightlessness began to come.
Woo~
The next second, the transport ship's emergency system began to respond. In the cockpit, the autopilot module had failed and various alarm systems began to sound.
[Altitude reduction, danger alert]
[Propulsion system offline]
【Driving system offline】
At this moment, the entire flight began to fall.
At this moment, more than a dozen clones in the cabin of the transport ship sensed the crisis for the first time. The woman who had just spoken fell to the ground, her neck was broken by a cable, and her bloody head rolled to the ground, but she still gave orders calmly.
"Shenzhen 3056 batch researchers, all units are ready to shut down."
"Self-destruct sequence has been initiated, batch 3056 deep, this instruction will not be repeated."
"Thank you all for your sincere cooperation in the journey of creating Crimson Civilization. Goodbye..."
Beep beep.
At that moment, the brain machines at the back of everyone's heads emitted a buzzing red light at the same time, and then sparks exploded and flashed in the back of their heads, and then all sound disappeared.
At this moment, a pair of iron hands suddenly tore a big hole in the top of the cabin of the transport ship that was falling at high speed. Grace tore open the cabin roof. At this moment, Lin Xian's mechanical scan came in and captured the latest activation frequency. He did not hesitate to use mechanical devouring to erase the self-destruction module of the brain-computer.
"KIKI, the second one on the left!"
The man who was called Dr. Zhao by the woman just now was surprised at this moment. He found that his self-destruction program had stopped. At the same time, he was suddenly swept out of the transport ship by an invisible force.
In the strong wind, he only saw several people in power armor grabbing him. He immediately understood his fate. The moment he was grabbed by Lin Xian, his frightened expression suddenly turned into a burst of laughter.
"Lin Xian, mechanical superpowers, Infinity, our Crimson World will not..."
Click.
Lin Xian directly pulled out a rectangular memory module from the man's brain-computer interface.
“Got it!”
KIKI raised his hands, grabbed Lin Xian, Grace and Brother Huo, and stopped in the air, watching the transport ship falling into the depths of darkness.
Lin Xian observed the memory in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. After all the danger, he finally got it.
Just when Lin Xian thought the mission was over, Qian Suxun's voice suddenly came from the communicator.
"Lin, come to Baicheng Hospital quickly, we have intercepted the second transport ship!"
