Chapter 118

Boom, boom, boom!

The orange-red headlights of the "Infinite" cut through the dark night under the blizzard, and the ice-breaking shield at the train head shoveled the thick snow to both sides like a hot knife cutting butter.

Whether it was zombies or cars, none could compete in front of this powerful horsepower!

Everyone held their breath and sprinted forward.

In carriage No. 2, Kiki stared at the radar system while releasing two drones to observe in the dark night.

"That big monster must have been buried in the underground city; it didn't follow."

After sprinting on the snowfield for nearly an hour, when the zombies and obstacles blocking them became fewer and fewer, everyone finally began to emerge with a feeling of having escaped death. The heavy atmosphere on the train was also broken by Kiki's voice.

"Really? Are we... are we saved?" Zhao Yan, who had been paralyzed on the ground by fright, asked tremblingly as if she had come back to life.

"Looks like it." Chen Sixuan didn't pay attention to them. She walked to the cockpit, looked at Lin Xian, who was covered in sweat at this moment, and said worriedly: "It seems we've escaped danger. Should we take a break? The snow is too heavy now, and the visibility is blocked. We have to pass through a valley ahead. I'm worried that if the earthquake earlier triggered an avalanche, it would be troublesome if we rush through."

Lin Xian nodded and began to gradually slow down the "Infinite." "You're right, but we can't be careless. While resting, I have to get the carriages behind sorted out, otherwise, it will also slow down our progress."

Having run wildly for a long time, he was exhausted. They had run at least a hundred kilometers on the snowfield, and he really wanted to stop and rest. Now, there were two flatbed carriages being pulled behind carriage No. 5, and behind that was the Gemini 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive, and behind that were two Cole Type 3 biological science research cabins being pulled by temporary hooks, completely without any armor protection. This configuration was indeed strange, but it was just a last resort to escape in a hurry earlier.

Ssh~

After the life-and-death sprint, after stopping, the train's iron wheels were hot, and the snow melted, making a hissing steam sound.

"How is it?" Lin Xian walked into carriage No. 1, his expression not daring to relax. Kiki was operating the drones to circle and alert around the train.

Whoosh...

Kiki, who had been nervous all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. She licked her lips and said to Lin Xian: "I don't dare say anything else, but that big guy definitely didn't follow. Otherwise, with such a big movement, it's impossible for us not to detect it."

"Then you reminded me."

Lin Xian took out the spirit-detecting device and threw it to Kiki: "Didn't you get a blood essence? Use this to probe it."

"Alright."

Kiki reacted, took out the larger eerie blood essence, installed it, and then directly turned it on to use it. A strange energy fluctuation came.

0!

What Lin Xian didn't expect was that according to this number, there wasn't even a single zombie around...

"Did it break?" Kiki was also a bit surprised.

"It shouldn't be." Lin Xian knew best whether the machine was broken. He looked at the surrounding snowfield. At this moment, the blizzard was covering it extremely fast. Ordinary zombies were indeed very hard to keep up, and maybe they would be completely buried by the wind and snow in one night.

Ding Junyi, who had been silent, saw the device in Kiki's hand and asked: "Level 2 eerie blood essence, did you kill a B-level night-walker?"

Lin Xian looked at the numbers on the spirit-detecting device and finally breathed a sigh of relief from the shadow of the abyss giant monster. At this moment, looking at Ding Junyi's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but ask, "In your emotional system, are there no words for surprise and fear?" Ding Junyi looked at him curiously: "Why would you ask that?"

"If I screamed and was afraid like Dr. Zhao and Dr. Xu, could I get more concern and protection from my peers?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly quieted down. Chen Sixuan, Kiki, and the others looked at Ding Junyi with strange gazes.

And Zhao Yan and Xu Wen looked at Ding Junyi with complex gazes, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied and speechless. It could be seen that although they had worked with Ding Junyi for a long time, they still couldn't like her way of speaking.

Hearing this, Lin Xian was also slightly stunned, and it took a long time before he replied, "Alright, back to the topic."

He took down the eerie blood essence: "Speaking of which, how do you define these ghost things, and why is the name different from the current Federation Phoenix Society?"

"Actually, it's the same!"

At this moment, Xu Wen, whose complexion had improved a bit, took a step forward and said: "The current Apocalypse Federation and the original Federation government began to develop on the same Angel Project. Later, after the disintegration, the research direction was also about the same. Whether it's night-walkers or Anomalies, they all refer to this kind of evil creature. Our research on spirit values is also basically synchronized, but the underground city project has not received widespread support in the research direction..."

Lin Xian was a bit surprised: "Your biological research institution also knows the content of the Angel Project?"

"Not entirely."

Zhao Yan, Xu Wen's mentor, looked at the few people at this moment, her expression nervous: "Now, as long as it's related to dark energy, we are all researching it, whether it's zombies, corruption, human-ghosts, blood essence, disaster plants, abilities, etc. There is a certain connection between these and the energy in the darkness, but after the Federation government disintegrated, the Angel Project was also reorganized. Our underground city belongs to the Dawn Project and doesn't have a large amount of ability and armed resources to obtain this kind of blood essence and disaster plants for our research."

!

"The Dawn Project theoretically no longer belongs to the official organization under the current Apocalypse Federation, but the leader of the Dawn Project still believes that they are the orthodox government of the world, so they specifically distinguish the names of the polar night research."

"For example, night-walkers and Anomalies mean the same thing. Currently, those with spirit value fluctuations within negative 100 are called C-level or ordinary levels. Those exceeding 100 are relatively broad, and those from negative 100 to negative 1000 are defined as B-level Anomalies. One can find this kind of Level 2 eerie blood essence from such creatures. There are subtle differences in size. Currently, we believe this doesn't necessarily fully represent the threat level of the Anomaly or some kind of level. It's also possible that it indicates how many humans this creature has swallowed."

"Swallowed humans?" Kiki frowned. "I thought this spirit value could directly indicate the threat level of the Anomaly, and also measure ability users with such values, like Evolution level, Diamond level..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yan looked at Kiki in surprise: "How do you know this?!"

"This is a general measurement concept from the early Angel Project, which has a certain reference value." At this moment, Ding Junyi finally spoke.

"Since the theory of dark night infection came out, whether it's the new Angel Project 【Night Walker】 organization currently belonging to the Phoenix Society, or our Dawn Project, the mainstream believes that the Apocalypse Polar Night is an evolution ritual covering the whole world. The vast majority of people fail to evolve and degenerate into zombies, human-ghosts, biological mutations, and star abyss breeds Anomalies. Under this premise, every time a dark night passes, more people will die or degenerate, and what is the same is that every day they survive, the surviving humans will evolve to be more powerful because of this power, not only manifesting some ability attributes, but all-around, such as cell activity, muscle potential, and stronger tolerance to virus and bacterial infection..."

"Simply put, as long as they are alive, they are all evolving. This kind of evolution may be extremely subtle in the short term, but in the long term, by the time the second polar night enters, the surviving humans will definitely have broken through their original physical limits."

"This is also why the Federation government split into three factions after the first polar night."
