Chapter 379 Unlimited Recruitment Plan
“Simple?”
Lin Xian looked at the dark and empty tunnel ahead, the subway train moving quickly, and said, "Do you think my mechanical abilities are too amazing?"
Jian Xuwei said: "The main control core of Dawn City is an iteration of the earliest AI intelligent control [Galaxy Heart]. Its computing power is second only to Phoenix City and Mochizuki Shinji. There is no doubt that this core is strictly protected in the underground city of Star City. It has a huge subsystem and cooling system. If you want to control it, you have to face the most elite armed forces of the Federation."
"You still say it's simple."
"Relatively speaking." Jian Xuwei said calmly: "At least for you, many mechanical protection issues can be ignored."
"Then we can't just kill our way in." KIKI came over and looked at Lin Xian: "There is one thing I have always wondered about. The Phoenix Society wants you to control the main control center. To what extent do they need you to do it?"
"Based on the analysis of the situation, it will definitely not be a short-term control."
Qian Dele said: "It will take some time for the Phoenix Society to disarm the defense of Dawn City. I wonder, even if you take control of the main control, what will happen next? The Federation is not stupid. As long as the alarm sounds, you will be a prisoner in less than 5 minutes."
Lin Xian stared and said, "Once we enter the city, someone will pick us up. This action is not a one-way move on our part. If I'm not mistaken, Silent City, Zen Pass, Qingbo, Tianwei, and Yongcheng Port are all making moves. What the Phoenix Society needs to do is actually to prevent some people in Dawn City from jumping off the wall and attacking their own people."
"Zhou Mingyuan?"
"More than that." KIKI said, "Didn't they say that the Crimson World might be hiding in Dawn City?"
"right."
Jian Xuwei nodded: "So we have to act carefully."
"Then what about your Silver Star?" Lin Xian looked at her and said, "If we move the Silver Star at this time, the people in the Federation will definitely know that it was you who did it."
"Don't worry, the Silver Star is just a vehicle. As long as my people are safe, this problem does not affect our main purpose of entering the city." Jian Xuwei said calmly.
Lin Xian opened his mouth, thinking that this woman was really open-minded. The Eternal Silver Star could be said to be the most sci-fi train vehicle Lin Xian had ever seen except for the Sky Train. It seemed that she was really rich. However, Jian Xuwei had already cooperated with Lin Xian and joined the Sky Train, so the doomsday vehicle was indeed guaranteed.
Wow.
The shuttle subway was running quickly. After more than ten minutes, this small rail train turned out from a hidden section of the road and then slowly stopped in a spare maintenance section.
"We're here. The main track is ahead. Underground traffic is not allowed in Shuguang City now, so that area is completely blocked. But we dug a hole so we can get out from the platform." The driver in front was a shrewd young man named Ke Zai, who was sent by Jian Zeyang to lead the way. He stopped the train engine and opened the door: "Captain Jian, Captain Lin, I'll take you."
"good."
Then the group walked down the platform in the cold and dark tunnel and walked forward along the roadside maintenance passage. The flashlight shone on the walls of the tunnel, which gradually became wider from narrow, and a dull and moldy smell filled their nasal cavity.
After walking for a while, rows of overturned subway cars began to appear in the huge tunnel. Rusty cars were piled up layer by layer, and a large amount of metal debris gradually blocked the tunnel.
Lin Xian jumped onto the roof of a tanker truck and shone the flashlight into the distance. He saw that the front was completely blocked by mountains of metal accumulations. The underground tunnel inside seemed to be completely welded shut by reinforced concrete and steel frames.
"The underground transportation in Dawn City is very developed, but strange entities are prone to appear in dark places, so the Federation closed all underground tunnel systems a long time ago. They are all several meters thick high-strength concrete and prefabricated armor plates, and are sealed very tightly." Ke Zai walked to a hidden corner and moved a metal billboard away. A hissing sound echoed in the passage, which was deafening. At this time, there was an abandoned refrigerator under the billboard. He opened the refrigerator door and found a passage inside that could be passed through!
Seeing the passage behind the refrigerator, KIKI's eyes lit up immediately: "Wow, it's quite secretive."
Kezi smiled and said, "We didn't build this in the beginning, but now it is an exclusive channel for several of our alliances."
As he spoke, he nimbly crawled in. Lin Xian and a few others followed him in and discovered that this was a underground passage that was opened up from all kinds of metal debris. It meandered all the way through the carriage and the cabinet door, turning several turns until a gray concrete wall appeared in front of them. Only then did Lin Xian realize that they had come through the pile of debris.
There was a small hole in the cement wall. It was dark inside and big enough for a person to crawl through.
"How did they drill a hole in such a thick defensive wall?" Qian Dele frowned after taking a look.
"Low-level weird bodies and zombies are difficult, but they are not troublesome for humans." Ning Jing said at this time: "Superpowers, robots, are all fine. Even ordinary automated tools can be solved as long as time is spent."
"That's true." Lin Xian said, "So if the strange body knows about human behavior, it will be even more troublesome for us."
As he was talking, Kezi had already led a few people out of the low tunnel. As soon as they came out, the tunnel inside was covered with a large area of barbed wire. He signaled them not to move and immediately picked up a communicator.
"Youque Youque, please reply if you get it."
"What's wrong?"
"There are biological sensors and infrared networks here." Lin Xian said. He was about to take action a few seconds ago when he found that Ke Zai was already contacting someone. He thought there must be someone inside to support him.
But after waiting for more than ten seconds, there was still no response.
"What's going on? The communication display is normal..." Kezi looked alert at this time. Just when he was about to try to contact his companions again, two violent pulse rays suddenly lit up from the far end, with a shrill sound.
"careful!"
In an instant, Lin Xian raised his hand and used the AT force field shield. With a puff, flames exploded in front of him, and Ke Zai next to him had his shoulder pierced. He screamed and flew backwards.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The next moment, more intensive shooting sounded in the distance, and several people's faces changed immediately.
“Stand back!”
There was a flash of lightning in Lin Xian's hands, and the AT force field shield expanded several times in an instant. At the same time, KIKI had already attacked on the front line. The mental wave lifted all the barbed wire and chevaux de frise into the air, and pressed the shooting line towards the darkness. Bang, bang, bang, in an instant, the countless pulse rays blasted the barbed wire and chevaux de frise in the air, causing sparks to fly.
At this moment, the gunfire suddenly stopped, and a loudspeaker sounded in the darkness in the distance.
"Intruder, this is the Dawn City Night Patrol. Please give up resistance and accept inspection. If you don't cooperate, we will shoot you according to federal law!"
Hearing this, Lin Xian frowned immediately, thinking that this was too unlucky. He was caught just after coming in. How could it be such a coincidence?
"The people in the Night Patrol are highly armed, so be careful when dealing with them." Jian Xuwei said in a vigilant voice, her face shield already covered by her power armor.
"Do you want to take action?" Ning Jing clenched her fists and stood up, a strong sense of power lingering around her.
"Lin Xian, what should we do?" KIKI asked at this time.
Lu Xingchen on the side was holding a fire in his hand to warn. If it was a strange body, he would have fired a fire fist at it just now, but they were facing federal personnel now, and they were on an undercover mission. Without Lin Xian's order, he did not take action directly.
"There are two options, either retreat or kill them all." Lin Xian's face darkened.
"Please disarm your weapons and cooperate with the investigation." The voice came again.
"Don't do it yet." Lin Xian whispered to KIKI: "Wait for me to make a move and see how many people there are."
"Yeah." KIKI nodded.
Immediately, Lin Xian pretended to raise his hand, but did not cancel the AT force field, allowing everyone to gather around him. At this time, he had quietly swallowed up and controlled all the monitoring and detection equipment within a few hundred meters in the passage.
He glanced sideways at Kezai who was lying on the ground. Shiori was treating him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise the frontal shot would have killed the young man.
At this time, a dazzling light appeared in the passage ahead, and several attack drones with strong lights on came quickly and surrounded Lin Xian and his group. Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a group of people walked out of the darkness, all of them alertly pointing their guns at Lin Xian.
These people were all wearing advanced power armor and holding arc pulse guns. Seeing this scene, Lin Xian and others put on power armor masks.
The leader was not wearing a helmet. He had a fierce face and a scar on his face that looked like a bandit. It was somewhat out of place with the police power armor that symbolized official justice. The leader glanced at Lin Xian and his group and said coldly:
"Hey, hey, hey, who are these gods? They are all wearing high-level power armor. It seems that our brothers have good luck tonight. Why do they use the smuggling channel when they are so rich?"
Lin Xian heard what the other party said and immediately asked: "Do you want to fine me?"
"A fine?" The leader laughed strangely and nodded, "Yes, of course there will be a fine."
As he said this, he pointed his gun at Lin Xian's face and said sternly, "Everyone, take off your power armor and tell me where your transport truck is parked."
Jian Xuwei, Monica and others behind Lin Xian all changed their expressions when they heard what he said. Their eyes met with each other and they all noticed something strange in an instant.
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” Seeing that Lin Xian and the others were unmoved, the leader’s face darkened and his voice was filled with anger.
Lin Xian said at this time: "How many people are there among you?"
"What?"
"Oh, don't get me wrong, we brought a lot of stuff." Lin Xian said seriously: "I'm afraid you won't have enough to share."
"..." The scarred man was stunned for a moment, and then his expression gradually turned cold.
"You're kidding me, eh?"
Before he finished speaking, KIKI beside Lin Xian pinched with two fingers, and an invisible force instantly pinched all the dozen people together. The power armor on their bodies made a creaking sound of metal twisting, and sparks flew everywhere.
"A mutant?!"
The scarred man reacted extremely quickly. The moment he was controlled, his eyes turned red, and powerful blood and energy fluctuations burst out of his body. With the power feedback of the power armor, he was immediately ready to break free from the restraints.
At this moment, all the drones surrounding Lin Xian lost control and fell to the ground at the same time. At the same time, a white drone quickly flew over the heads of this group of people!
"Thunder Prison" drone!
Woo! Zi!
In an instant, a dazzling electromagnetic explosion erupted, immediately knocking everyone unconscious.
"I thought you were going to kill them all." Monica asked curiously when she saw Lin Xian and KIKI quickly take care of the dozen people.
"Do you think they are from the Night Patrol and are afraid of causing trouble?" Jian Xuwei noticed Lin Xian's thoughts and spoke.
Lin Xian took a deep breath: "But this group of people don't look like law enforcement officers, they look like robbers."
"They should have information synchronization devices on them. Whether you kill them or not, they have probably been discovered." Qian Dele stood up and said at this time.
Sure enough, just when Lin Xian and his team dealt with this group of people, intensive gunfire suddenly sounded in the tunnel in the distance, but it was not directed towards Lin Xian. It was accompanied by various powerful air explosion sounds and the screams of a group of people.
Several people reacted immediately and realized that a battle was taking place ahead. However, the battle did not last too long. In less than half a minute, the sound completely subsided.
Not long after, before anyone appeared, a familiar and clear voice sounded.
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. A few minutes ago, I was wondering if these soldiers from the Night Patrol would plan to attack the platform in the valley. I didn't expect that it was true."
Jiang Yun walked with the wind, followed by Ren Huiyan and a group of people who were fully armed and powerful. They walked out of the shadows and looked at Lin Xian and said
"Long time no see, Captain Lin."
When the people around him saw the group of unconscious people in front of Lin Xian, they all raised their guns and shot again, killing them all.
"I guessed it was you." Lin Xian heaved a sigh of relief and looked behind Jiang Yun: "You killed the people from the Night Patrol directly, won't there be any trouble?"
"The night patrol group is in disarray." Jiang Yun said, "Do you think this group of people are here in the middle of the night just to do their job and patrol?"
"The night patrol team in charge of this area has received benefits from us." Ren Huiyan, who was beside Jiang Yun, said at this time: "There is some unrest in the city now, and some people want to take advantage of the situation. There are night patrol teams and thugs in the name of the Federation who are killing and robbing everywhere."
"People are dying every day in Night City now. Apart from the inner city, some core areas and the territories of large caravans, other places are not very safe." Jiang Yun said as he walked to the side of the scarred man and turned his head away with his foot, revealing a hideous wolf head tattoo behind his ear.
"It's the Blood Wolf Gang again. This group of people originally robbed their way into Dawn City. The Night Patrol Power Armor they were wearing must have been stolen. But they hit a wall this time when they ran into you."
Lin Xian frowned: "Is the city so chaotic? Ha, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been so polite to them."
"That's right." KIKI looked at the group of Blood Wolf Gang members on the ground with an unhappy look on his face: "I didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of killing them."
Ren Huiyan looked at the group of people in power armor being squeezed into shapeshifters and then looked at KIKI, her face slightly surprised.
"It's okay. The surveillance in this area is all offline. We have already..." Jiang Yun looked up at the surroundings of the passage. He wanted to talk about the surveillance camera, but found that the wall was empty, without even a thread. He was slightly speechless and looked at Lin Xian: "This..."
"Just in case." Lin Xian said
"Captain Lin is cautious." Jiang Yun said approvingly.
After saying that, he looked at Ke Zai who was behind Lin Xian, and immediately said to his men, "Xiao Mo, arrange for treatment."
"OK!"
Several people immediately came out of the crowd and took Kezi up. Jiang Yun also said to Lin Xian: "This is not the place to talk. Come with me first."
Afterwards, a group of people left from the secret passage of the platform. At 1 a.m., on a rainy night, a strange smell filled the old alley. One or two pink bar lights were flashing, telling passers-by that there were still a few dance halls with singing and dancing.
The raindrops condensing on the power lines made a disturbing rhythm when they fell on the tin lid of the trash can.
Stinky, quiet, and eerie.
The roadside was lined with awnings built by survivors. Except for the patrolling guards, the streets were empty at 1 a.m. after Vice Chairman Zhou Mingyuan announced a city-wide curfew.
In the old city, a cramped residential tube building had low-brightness cold lights on on each floor, making it look very crowded. A large number of armed vehicles filled several blocks. This entire building was the base for Jiang Yun's convoy. There was a special modified house on the roof. Jiang Yun brought Lin Xian and his party here and introduced it.
"It's safe here for now, but I know you didn't come here to visit the night market. Well, there's nothing to visit in Dawn City. In a month, we won't see the dawn here anymore. From now on, it will be a real Night City."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Xian, smiled and extended his hand to Lin Xian: "I almost forgot, happy cooperation."
Lin Xian shook hands with him: "I thought you had already evacuated the city in advance."
"I had this idea, but I guessed that you might go into the city, so I stayed here temporarily hoping to pick you up. This is perfect."
"Jiang Yun, what's the situation now?" Jian Xuwei asked at this time.
"Fortunately, at least the surface is stable."
Jiang Yun's face was stern, and he said directly: "But now the people in the Night Patrol and the City Defense Guard Battalion are under high pressure. Curfew is still the simplest. Once there is a mutated population or a red man attack, there will often be large-scale deaths, but most of the deaths are caused by firepower."
"Indiscriminate cleaning?" Lin Xian frowned.
"Almost." Jiang Yun said: "The Federation is in a state of panic, and the residents in the city are also in a state of panic. Although the events in the Crimson World have been temporarily suppressed by Zhou Mingyuan, many people now feel that something might happen..."
"Why?"
Jiang Yun pointed to the north.
"The Order of the Phoenix?"
"Yes."
"The presence of the Heaven-Suppressing Ship there is an absolute pressure on Dawn City. Regardless of whether the Phoenix Society is here to wipe out the Adventists or for some other purpose, the people in the city have sensed a signal that something big is going to happen in Dawn City. In addition, the water resources pressure caused by the invasion of darkness is increasing. Therefore, unless Dawn City is completely sealed off, it will not be able to stop those who want to evacuate."
"This is only the first day. It will probably be even more lively tomorrow." Jiang Yun said, "It's evening now, and things are a little quieter."
"Do you know where Deliyou will be?" Lin Xian asked at this time.
"Know."
Lin Xian checked the time: "How far is it from here?"
"I have received the news from Director Jian in advance, but it is not easy for so many of you to act at night."
Jiang Yun looked at Lin Xian and then came to the window, pointing to the cyber city jungle with layers of mountains on the rainy night. In the sky, various police and surveillance floating robots were patrolling slowly at any time.
"There are three million surveillance cameras in this city, more than four thousand patrol airships alone, and countless police drones and attack drones of various types, so..."
"If it's not an emergency, I suggest you act during the day."
Lin Xian looked at the huge outline of the urban forest outside and took a deep breath: "Well, accepting suggestions is a good quality."
"So, our mission tonight has been completed?" Monica sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, and sighed, "I thought there would be other activities in the city."
"Jiang Yun, tell Captain Lin about the team situation." Jian Xuwei said at this time: "Let him arrange the alliance's dispatch from now on."
"Don't be so polite."
Lin Xian waved his hand and said, "You guys should make the arrangements. The situation is a little unclear right now. We don't know what will happen next between the Federation and the Phoenix Society, so it's better to keep a low profile now."
Jiang Yun smiled and said, "It's actually similar to when we were at Yubei Airport. We are all people who have united in times of crisis. There are 26 fleets here, both large and small, with as many as 8,000 to 9,000 people and as few as a hundred. All that can be merged have been merged, but the major fleets are self-managed, so you don't have to worry about the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of these tens of thousands of people, or the allocation of resources. It's just that in the apocalypse, everyone needs a general direction. Because many people recognize the Phoenix Society, the Red Phoenix Order fleet is generally very appealing, including me and Chairman Jian, and Captain Lin, you are even more appealing. These people are united together, and they actually want to hold on to the Phoenix Society through you."
"That's right."
Qian Dele sat down and leaned back. "It's all because of the information blockage caused by the dark invasion. Coupled with the dark mark, it's difficult to develop a large-scale organization. Eight or nine thousand people are already very large, and the management cost is not small. This alliance march method is reasonable."
He looked at Lin Xian and said, "But if Lin Xian wants me to join your team and work for you, I'm willing to do that. It will save me a lot of trouble."
"I agree," Monica said.
"Jiang Yun, we killed so many people in the tunnel, will it cause any problems?" Ning Jing, who was always cautious, said at this time.
"No, I've already asked someone to clean it up. Besides, the Night Patrol doesn't have the energy to focus on that area right now." Ren Huiyan said, "So don't worry about it."
"That's right."
At this time, Jiang Yun came over from the window with interest, holding his cell phone and put it in front of Lin Xian and Jian Xuwei.
"This news may be of interest to you."
Lin Xian and the others leaned over to look at him, and their expressions changed slightly. Jian Xuwei frowned in surprise, while KIKI widened her eyes.
All I saw on the screen was a post from the Shuguang City intranet forum, and the title of the post was
"Infinite Train Recruitment Plan - Mechanical superpower Qin Feng recruits doomsday warriors to join the Eternal Class Armed Train Silver Star, rushing along the 320,000-kilometer ring star track!"
Lin Xian was stunned for a moment, then he cursed softly.
"Grass……"
