Chapter 230: Mark (Revised)

"Afterward, it's best to use the carriage bathroom and take showers during the day," Chen Sixuan said: "In the future, we should all adapt to the concept of having no night or day. Night is more dangerous. Judging from past experience, resting during the day is more guaranteed."

"But we have to travel and find supplies during the day." Miao Lu nodded: "You're right, maybe we can work in shifts, just don't do these things at night, so we can react in time if we encounter an emergency."

"Hmm."

Knock, knock, knock.

Just then, a female team member ran over from the front carriage with a hurried expression. She was the person Chen Sixuan specifically arranged to keep watch at the front.

"Chen Jiejie, you go take a look quickly. I don't know when, but a container suddenly appeared on the platform."

"Container?" Chen Sixuan and Miao Lu's expressions changed upon hearing this.

The two immediately put down the work in their hands and came to the front vehicle. As they walked, they saw a black shipping container appear in the distance on the platform outside.

"The sentry system should have reacted." Chen Sixuan frowned.

"It should be because it's far away and hasn't approached, but how could there be no sound when such a big thing appeared?"

Several people were constantly observing that container at this moment. Unlike ordinary containers, this container was like some kind of laboratory cabin module, with an electronically controlled door and the Phoenix symbol of the Phoenix Society on it.

"Phoenix Society?"

Chen Sixuan naturally recognized the Phoenix Society's symbol. After all, they had all seen the organization symbol on Bai Shuang and Wei Kexue during the climbing elevator.

"Did the sentry system not capture who put it there?"

Miao Lu held the mobile terminal and said: "The train's observation and radar systems didn't react. How strange. I thought it was just a problem with the sentry system's observation angle."

Chen Sixuan looked at that black container, and a woman's sixth sense told her that this definitely had a problem.

And at this moment, other survivor convoys in the station also noticed this suddenly appearing box, and gazes were cast over in twos and threes. Many gazes from the green Night Charm train also looked over.

Chen Sixuan picked up the communicator at this moment, but all three lines were in a state of being unable to communicate. The time for the sub-teams to return was almost up, and she wanted to notify Lin Xian quickly.

"Should we go down and take a look?" Miao Lu asked.

"No, start the defense system directly and let everyone pick up weapons and be on alert."

Chen Sixuan said decisively. Caution is always the best policy. If it's not our own people, absolutely do not open the carriage door. This was what Lin Xian taught her on the first day she got on the train.

Clang.

Just then, the black container suddenly emitted a metallic sound, and then the four walls of the container fell down in unison. Chen Sixuan and the others' gazes sharpened, and they were shocked to discover that in the middle of the container, there was actually a woman!

The woman was disheveled. At this moment, her hands and feet were wearing a kind of special mechanical shackle, and there was a fixing device on her mouth that made her unable to speak. She was only wearing a thin red evening dress, and she was bare below the thighs without shoes. Her hair was messy, and her whole body was dirty. Even so, she was recognized by everyone at a glance.

"Ah... isn't she that?" Miao Lu saw the woman's face and exclaimed immediately.

"Irene Clark, isn't she that Hollywood star?"

Because this woman was once quite famous, her devilish body curves and tear-stained beautiful face were now looking at the train in terror, struggling constantly.

This scene instantly caused other survivor convoys that had originally been on alert to become chaotic. Cao Hong, the boss of the Night Charm train, was also looking over through the window, surrounded by a group of female subordinates.

"Holy crap, Irene Clark! How could this big star appear here?"

"Could it be a trap?"

"Let's wait and see." Cao Hong wasn't stupid either, and at this moment, that container was on Infinity's side, so everyone shifted their focus here.

"Chen Jiejie, it must be a trap!"

On Infinity, Miao Lu felt something was a bit wrong at the first reaction.

Chen Sixuan signaled everyone not to panic first, looking at the woman locked by shackles, and pondered: "No matter who it is, wait until the people from the other teams return before dealing with it."

Chen Sixuan was very clear that the personnel left behind on the train had low combat power and no superpowers. Aside from Miao Lu, who had good skills, they basically didn't possess any ability to parry. And the reason Lin Xian let them guard the train was because Infinity itself was their strongest defense and offensive means. As long as they didn't do anything stupid, they could deal with some dangers.

"Alright, let's see what's going on with that person first."

Just then, in Carriage No. 3, Ding Junyi, who was conducting daily research work, suddenly discovered that the Regional Black Chrysanthemum beside her was slowly emitting a crimson intent!

She immediately reacted, stood up from her workstation, and walked directly toward the front of the train. At this moment, seeing Chen Sixuan and the others standing in the cockpit, she asked immediately:

"Are they back?"

"No, what's wrong?" Chen Sixuan saw Ding Junyi and responded directly.

"【Dark Mark】 is increasing. There is someone marked approaching us!" Ding Junyi said loudly.

"What?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Sixuan and Miao Lu's expressions changed instantly, subconsciously looking outside. At this moment, Ding Junyi also noticed the woman crawling closer outside.

"Don't let that woman approach us again. She has a 【Dark Mark】 on her!"

Ding Junyi looked at the woman and reacted for the first time.

Chen Sixuan heard this and hurriedly shouted to everyone: "Quick, close the carriage windows!"

Swish!

In an instant, the atmosphere on Infinity suddenly tightened, and everyone entered a combat-ready state.

Hum~

Just then, the sound of a motorcycle came. Chen Sixuan immediately looked over and indeed saw Lin Xian and Kiki driving into the station channel. Her expression changed instantly, and she pressed the communicator to Lin Xian urgently:

"Lin Xian, be careful. There is a woman outside our train, and she has a 【Dark Mark】 on her."

Lin Xian, who had just driven into the station, immediately squeezed the brakes upon hearing this, and he and Kiki looked over in unison. Sure enough, they saw a woman crawling toward Infinity on the ground.

"Drive, move back, don't let her touch our train."

Lin Xian was incredibly shocked in his heart at this moment. He didn't expect that the second time he perceived the characteristics of the 【Dark Mark】, it would appear in such a way.

Why would a woman with a 【Dark Mark】 appear here?

Hearing Lin Xian's words, Chen Sixuan immediately started Infinity and drove toward the front of the platform, trying to avoid the woman.

And Lin Xian also drove his motorcycle, bypassing from under the tracks, and drove toward Infinity.

The woman named Irene Clark saw the train start and panicked. She was confused, and then she turned her head again, looking at the other survivor convoys in the station.

In panic, she tremblingly climbed up from the ground and walked toward the green train, constantly saying: "Save me, please save me, save me!!"

On the other side, Infinity drove some distance away and stopped again. Lin Xian drove the motorcycle onto the train, then came to the cockpit, and shouted loudly to the station using the loudspeaker.

"Everyone, stay away from that woman. She is marked by an eerie entity. If it enters the night, it will bring great trouble!"

As soon as these words were spoken, other survivor convoys in the station changed their expressions drastically.

"Mark? What is that?"

"Is it true..."

"Better to believe it than not. Maybe we should retreat."

"She is just one person, how could she attract any eerie entities?"

"Could it be a lie?"

The people on the Night Charm train exploded upon hearing this.

!

"No way, that is Irene Clark. She doesn't look like a bad person."

"Boss, could that Infinity be plotting something?"

"Exactly. Look, didn't they not leave either?"

Cao Hong was observing the woman gradually approaching through the window carefully, puzzled: "Not right. Didn't that box have the Phoenix Society's symbol? How could the Phoenix Society do such a thing?"

"I think it must be fake. Maybe they want us all to retreat, and then they can hide in this station safely. Too scheming." At this moment, a somewhat clever subordinate spoke.

Cao Hong's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Makes sense! Group hunting effect!!"

After speaking, he looked at the black train parked in the distance, his eyes cold: "Holy crap, they really have a plan."

"Then what's going on with this woman?"

"Who knows. But she looks gentle and refined, and has no weapons. What threat could she have?"

"Save me~"

Irene Clark walked to the side of the Night Charm train with unsteady steps at this moment. Her feet were unstable, and she fell to the ground with a thud. She raised her head, looking at Cao Hong miserably: "Please, save me. My family will definitely give you a lot of supplies."

!

"Maybe we should save her first."

"Exactly, look how pitiful she is."

"That person on Infinity is really heartless. Not saving her is one thing, but actually letting others not care either."

"That's right. With so many weapons, what are they afraid of eerie entities for?"

"Exactly. Didn't you see how pitiful she is? Truly heartless!!"

"She is Irene Clark!!"

"Are you trying to trick us all

"Then what is going on with this woman?"

"Who knows, but she looks gentle and refined, and she has no weapons, so what threat could she possibly be?"

"Save me~"

Erin Clark walked falteringly to the side of the Night Charm at this moment. Unsteady on her feet, she stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud. She raised her head and looked at Cao Hong with a sorrowful expression: "Please, save me. My family will definitely give you a lot of supplies."

The female team members on the Night Charm saw this scene and immediately showed expressions of unbearable sympathy, one after another beginning to discuss it.

"Why don't we save her first?"

"That's right, look at how pitiful she is."

"Those people on the Infinity really have no conscience. Not saving her is one thing, but they actually told others not to care either."

"No wonder there aren't many people on their train. Such a large train, yet there are so few people. They really are cold-blooded!"

At this time, on the Infinity, Lin Xian saw that many people in the fleet over there remained unmoved. He frowned and shouted again, raising his voice.

"Everyone, do not make contact with that woman! She will attract a large number of strange entities! Do you hear me!!"

No one responded to him. At this moment, all over the platform, many strange gazes were cast toward the Infinity, especially the many female team members on the Night Charm, who exploded with noise and began to curse and shout in a jumble.

"Hypocrite! You don't even dare to save a woman, what kind of man are you!!"

"You have so many weapons, what are you still afraid of strange entities for?"

"Exactly! Didn't you see how pitiful she is? Truly cold-blooded!!"

"She is Erin Clark!!"

"Are you trying to trick us all into leaving this station so your own fleet can hide here safely? You're too calculating."

"Oh my, these shrews!" Kiki heard this and immediately got angry. She rolled up her sleeves with both hands and, standing on tiptoe, prepared to fly out of the vehicle to argue with them, but was grabbed by the foot by Lin Xian and dragged back.

"Ouch."

"Stop messing around." Lin Xian's expression darkened slightly.

"Lin Xian, what do you think?" Chen Sixuan asked with an anxious expression at this moment.

Lin Xian looked at Ding Junyi instead: "Director Ding, why would someone have such a powerful 【Dark Mark】 on them?"

Ding Junyi pushed up her glasses: "It is currently unclear, and I don't know how this kind of mark can be transferred, but I strongly advise against us making contact with that woman, and even more so, we must not let her on the vehicle. The intensity of the mark on her is even stronger than when we were at Rain Town. I am worried that a large-scale catastrophe will occur here tonight."

"How terrifying."

"Team Leader Lin, could it be that someone wants to use the 【Dark Mark】 to poison us?" Miao Lu reacted immediately and thought of poisoning at the first instance.

"Poisoning..."

Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this. Miao Lu's words made his heart skip a beat, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

He had never thought before that the 【Dark Mark】 could actually be used in this way. If this were true, it would mean that the person behind it had long since mastered the theory of the 【Dark Mark】 and was even capable of using it for poisoning.

Not only did they know about it, but they could also utilize this characteristic to use people as bait for marking and poisoning. It sounded simply insane. What kind of organization could do such a thing?

"Chen Laoshi." Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan at this moment: "Can you use a gun to take care of that woman from a distance?"

Ding Junyi asked upon hearing this: "Are you trying to remove the Dark Mark in this way?"

Lin Xian countered: "Is it not possible?"

Ding Junyi shook her head: "I cannot be certain. By common logic, if the prey dies, the hunter will indeed stop, but if this kind of mark is just a scent or a type of energy, as long as the corpse is still there, it might be unavoidable."

Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this. If that were the case, there would be no way to shake it off.

He checked the time; nightfall was about to arrive.

"Is it really the Phoenix Society?" Chen Sixuan's expression was ugly.

They had originally thought they were the first to discover this characteristic and were even preparing to share it with the Phoenix Society, but now, such a major turn of events had occurred.

Lin Xian shook his head at this moment: "What organization it is doesn't matter now. What's important is that we must evacuate now."

After speaking, he looked at Kiki: "Little girl, hurry, use the drone to see if there are any signs of Shasha and Shu Qin returning."

Lin Xian looked at his watch. It was already 18:05, and there were only 40-plus minutes left until nightfall. Logically, Shasha and the others should have returned by now.

"What about those people at the station?" Miao Lu asked.

"Can't persuade them, won't persuade them anymore." Lin Xian's throat was almost smoked from shouting, and it was useless. Since he couldn't persuade them, he couldn't be bothered to care. At this moment, he only cared about the members of his own fleet. It is hard to save a damned ghost who refuses to listen to good advice.

"They are one on the east line and one on the north line. Should we send people out to meet them?" Chen Sixuan said at this moment: "If we evacuate now, they won't be able to find our location, and I'm worried they won't be able to leave in time if they return to the station. If we don't warn them, it will be even more troublesome if they come back and make contact with that woman."

Lin Xian nodded: "You're right. Let's wait another 5 minutes. If they haven't returned, Kiki and I will split up to go look for them."

In terms of mobility, currently on the vehicle, only Kiki's flight ability combined with his power armor could move quickly, with the highest efficiency.
