Chapter 203

In the afternoon, the rain town ushered in another heavy rain.

The sky became dark and gloomy, and the air revealed an oppressive atmosphere. Outside the cinema on the central street, many vehicles were parked at this time.

Some of these vehicles were from the Jin Gang fleet, with dried bloodstains still remaining on them, while others were vehicles Ding Qing had collected and repaired from the town. These vehicles had no defensive capabilities, and the gasoline was not enough to drive one or two hundred kilometers.

Inside the underground parking lot, over a hundred people walked out tremblingly with their luggage under the muzzle of guns. The crowd was filled with an atmosphere of unease and confusion, and from time to time, there were the cries of children and the sobbing of women.

When they learned that the town was about to be destroyed, everyone's first reaction was confusion and fear, having no clue about the unknown tomorrow.

In the rain, some families began to move their luggage onto the cars. Among them, a few people began to organize the survivors to distribute the cars. Everyone was acting silently. On the street at this time, the Infinite's teammates held firearms and watched this scene.

Countless gazes kept sweeping toward Lin Xian. Some people began to know that this was the person who was about to confront the monster in the chemical plant head-on, and also the person who let them leave this safe yet twisted shelter.

Those gazes looking at Lin Xian carried complex and deep meanings. Lin Xian said nothing, watching quietly as these people loaded their cars nervously, and then left one after another.

He knew that most of the people here might not live to see tomorrow, but if the 【Mark】 was confirmed and Lin Xian and the others successfully solved the monster, these people might be able to live a few more days.

After everyone left, Lin Xian didn't waste any more time. He let the team members board the train and return, while he and Kiki stayed in the town, responsible for the detonation.

Considering the various problems of the 【Mark】, Lin Xian had Lv Chang bring the Hell Black Chrysanthemum over in that large box. He wanted to see if solving that monster would allow the Hell Black Chrysanthemum to absorb the black smoke.

On the "Infinite" side, everyone except Lin Xian and Kiki had returned to the train. Because the battlefield was too tragic, Shu Qin only let some people with stronger psychological endurance be responsible for cleaning up, while others followed Chen Sixuan to organize the storage boxes and records.

The entire rain town platform was filled with a smell of death and coldness. Because it was raining, the flowing rainwater was almost entirely red.

"12 first-level blood crystals, 3 second-level blood crystals, plus 4 rocket launchers and two 12.7mm vehicle-mounted machine guns. This Jin Gang fleet's strength is truly not bad."

Inside the carriage, Shu Qin looked at the confiscated records and was secretly shocked.

"If it weren't for our heavy weapons, they probably wouldn't have been wiped out so quickly." Chen Sixuan also said.

"Useless."

Lu Xingchen looked deep: "The bloodiness of this group of people is already gone. They are just stray dogs. Having become the lackeys of demons, how could they dare to fight hard? They can only do some petty things."

Chen Sixuan was slightly silent upon hearing this. Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is human nature. The people on the Infinite, including herself, were also forced out of desperate situations. Escaping in countless dark nights, ordinary people inevitably have changes in their mentality when they encounter a place that can shelter them from the dark night.

"Okay."

Chen Sixuan looked out the window and reminded: "Everyone get ready, we need to rendezvous with Lin Xian and the others."

After saying that, she turned to Dalou: "Dalou, take a few more people to urgently repair the tracks ahead. I've checked, the damage isn't great, so we don't need to wait for Lin Xian to come back. We might need to evacuate at any time."

"Okay, sister."

Dalou took the order solemnly. Carriage No. 11 was equipped with track steel, as well as various lifting and welding tools, which Lin Xian had always prepared. As long as there was no huge terrain damage, even if Lin Xian and Kiki were not there, others could carry out emergency handling.

Chen Sixuan was meticulous and thoughtful. When Lin Xian was not around, plus the gentle and introverted aura of Chen Sixuan after entering battle was gradually replaced by a calm and cold temperament, everyone began to recognize her more. Under Chen Sixuan's command, the personnel of the Infinite's carriages began to prepare for evacuation in an orderly manner.

Rain Town, Clock Tower.

Lin Xian held a remote control made from a simple communicator, looking at the silent town streets. Deep inside some broken windows, some eerie figures could be vaguely seen.

Those gazes hiding in the buildings seemed to be able to feel one of the invisible threats, quietly staring in Lin Xian's direction.

Kiki floated behind him with her arms crossed: "I was wondering why you ran in there just now. So you took a fancy to that mechanical arm. Do you want to install it on the train?"

"Why not."

Lin Xian said: "My mechanical superpower still has a lot of room for development. Just like you said, if this time is successful, maybe we will really go to Star City and meet that federal government."

Kiki raised her eyebrows: "According to the radio, the old federal government has renamed Star City to Dawn City and integrated the original garrison and some security group armed forces into a 'Federal Army'. Its strength cannot be underestimated. We have to sneak in quietly. The Infinite's Twin Star 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive will be discovered as soon as it enters."

"If nothing goes wrong, their strength and reputation will continue to strengthen." Lin Xian said.

"You mean many survivors will join?"

Lin Xian nodded, took a deep breath and said: "If the theory of 【Dark Mark】 holds, more people will definitely go to Dawn City. At that time, there might be a new round of debate among survivors about whether to flee or hold their ground..."

!

"Such a situation is extremely unfavorable for the Phoenix Society."

Kiki frowned upon hearing this, fell silent immediately, and said somewhat uneasily:

"Oh yeah, if they are afraid of being marked in the dark, will the reputation of Dawn City's underground city project reverse? It will definitely cause wavering within the Phoenix Society, which has been moving around the world."

"Yes, but it won't be that fast. After all, humans don't yet have the ability to survive stably in the polar night. Just like the puzzle of the unknown creature in Underground City No. 9 hasn't been solved, there are arguments for both running and guarding. Most people will still tend to flee the dark night, but they will have to work hard on solving the 【Dark Mark】."

"Then regarding this 【Dark Mark】 problem, do we still need to synchronize it with the Phoenix Society?" Kiki's eyes carried a hint of worry.

"Yes."

Lin Xian's expression was firm, and he said without hesitation: "The factional disputes among humans are our own business, but when it comes to the dark invasion, our enemies are the same. If we can use the Hell Black Chrysanthemum to confirm this theory today, maybe we can save many survivors who are fleeing, and also change everyone's escape mode. Compared to the life and death of millions of people, factional disputes are not worth mentioning."

Kiki nodded with appreciation upon hearing this: "Not bad, very broad-minded. But those Adventists might not think so. They treat monsters as gods."

"Is that so?"

Lin Xian looked at the chemical plant: "Then today, we will bleed the god in the hearts of these Adventists!"

Click~

"Lin Xian, the Infinite side has finished deployment and can evacuate at any time. Be careful."

Chen Sixuan's voice came from the communicator. Lin Xian checked the time, 14:40 in the afternoon.

"Everyone get ready for the impact, detonate immediately!"
