Chapter 260

"His brother? Where is he?"

Sun Kai looked at the ice valley in the rear: "When covering our group of people on the last day, he died below. Did you see the tearing opening on the nano-ceramic window of the No. 0 mecha's head? His brother Chen Lie was torn out by a strange entity in one gulp. In the end, Chen Wei drove this mecha alone to protect the rest of us."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Xian meaningfully: "His temper is like this, he doesn't give anyone a good face, and he is particularly resistant to espers. I heard that after the Apocalypse, his family members were all killed by an esper thug convoy. Now his brother is gone, and after he linked the No. 0 mecha's neural telepathy system to drive it alone, he suffered trauma in his spirit, so don't take it to heart. You risked your lives to support, but he had that attitude... I apologize to you on his behalf."

Lin Xian was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "Company Commander Sun is too polite. It really didn't help much. It seems we have to think of other ways."

"Driving a mecha with neural telepathy alone?!" Kiki was very surprised upon hearing this: "He actually didn't die?!"

"He is also lucky..." Sun Kai nodded.

Kiki said to Sun Kai: "By the way, didn't you say Team Leader Yu and the others have a breakout plan? What is it? They aren't all waiting for Xilan City's rescue, right?"

Shi Diyuan said at this time: "They seem to be preparing to let this mecha launch some kind of signal to attract monsters, and then let this mecha use a self-detonation method to see if it can kill that black worm or severely damage it, giving us a chance to escape. I don't know the specifics very well. They already had a general direction before you came."

"Quantum dot nano-clusters." Sun Kai said: "This is a device that the No. 0 mecha was already experimenting with to lure monsters. It is said that the emitted nano-particles can form an entangled state with the 'mother quantum well' in the monster's nest or something. I don't understand the complex ones."

Lin Xian looked at him, thinking that you have described the principle so convolutedly, how can you call it not understanding.

"But there is another plan." Sun Kai's words didn't stop: "It was proposed by Chen Wei. He and his brother were both Level 5 resonance coefficient pilots. Now his brother is dead. There is another person in the team with a Level 3 resonance coefficient. Chen Wei wants to take this person and try to forcibly start the No. 0 mecha to open a path for all of us."

"As for rescue... in this situation, information is blocked, and in the blizzard, you can't even tell the direction. That flight esper taking risks to go out doesn't necessarily mean he can reach Xilan City, so it can only be used as a backup plan. The key is to rely on us to escape actively."

Lin Xian nodded upon hearing this: "Just pinning hopes on rescue definitely won't work. Now this canyon has gathered too many strange entities. Even if there is rescue, the difficulty is also very high."

Kiki captured a key piece of information upon hearing this and looked at Sun Kai: "Start the mecha? Meaning, this mecha can still be started?!"

Sun Kai felt somewhat embarrassed after saying this: "I really don't know the technical problems of this mecha. But since such a plan can be proposed, maybe it can... be."

After speaking, he then said to Shi Diyuan and Lin Xian: "You guys talk first, I'll go report the scouting situation."

After speaking, he set off to leave.

"Good guy, this thing can be started?!" Shi Diyuan looked at Sun Kai's reaction, suddenly realized, and immediately turned to look at the giant steel giant.

"It shouldn't be that simple." Lin Xian said at this time: "If it were really that simple, the primary plan would definitely be this, and it wouldn't be self-detonating the mecha."

Shi Diyuan opened his mouth upon hearing this. After a long while, he sighed long and looked at the sky full of wind and snow, saying:

"Troublesome, I originally thought that even if Longshan No. 1 reached Xilan City, I wouldn't be so upset even if I died here. As a result, a whole car of people is still in place. Damn, I shouldn't have come if I knew earlier!"

Lin Xian looked at him upon hearing this: "No matter what, you would have come. You can't be a cold-blooded and selfish person in your life."

"That's right." Kiki also smiled and said: "At the Yubei Airport, when that Federation's Taylor wanted to shoot at our survivors, you stood out the first time without knowing the situation. Brother Shi, you have to admit, you are a good person."

"Good person..."

Shi Diyuan curled his lips somewhat aggrievedly upon hearing this: "Damn ghost, I'm carrying so many lives, what should I do?"

"There are other ways, Brother Shi, I'll go with Kiki to see that mecha."

"Alright." Shi Diyuan turned around and said: "You guys go, I'll go to the line to see, let's meet and discuss again before dark."

"Hmm."

Lin Xian said, and immediately took Kiki toward the direction of the giant mecha.

At this time, the Interstellar Army soldiers around, including the busy technical personnel, didn't say anything when they saw it. After all, everyone is on the same boat at this time, and other survivors are all curious, and it's not just Lin Xian who ran over to see the mecha or even touch it, so no one stopped them.

"The closer you get, the bigger it feels."

Walking to the arm of the No. 0 mecha, Kiki reached out and used telekinesis to open a large cover, blocking the wind and snow, allowing the two to clearly look at the metal lines full of industrial beauty on the mechanical arm.

"Humans can build weapons of this level. How could such a civilization lose to these beasts in the dark..." Lin Xian reached out and touched the cold finger bone armor plate, whispering silently.

"The charm of machines is fascinating."

Lin Xian opened his eyes slightly. At this moment, the Mechanical Heart finally started!

Clang!

The moment the Mechanical Heart's power touched this steel giant in the wind and snow, a silent giant shock seemed to ring out in the dark, echoing in the deep valley of the Terrakama Ice Valley and between the heaven and earth of the extreme cold vortex!

Lin Xian didn't scan the blueprints. He knew that in this situation, there was no time for him to fix such a large mechanical structure, so he directly let the Mechanical Heart spread on the No. 0 mecha, using his personal perception to replace the Mechanical Heart's scanning analysis, attempting to cover the entire No. 0 mecha.

The advantage of doing this is that he can 'feel' this industrial giant in a very short time without consuming too much energy, and can understand the problems of this mecha based on his current understanding of machines.

Hum, hum, hum~

The Mechanical Heart is like a visual sensory organ from a heavenly perspective, flowing from the blade of the folding high-frequency blade chain sword hidden under the No. 0 mecha's wrist to the six sets of cylindrical extreme energy capacitors behind the plasma cannon, extending all the way, crossing the shoulder armor. The body of more than one hundred meters adopts multi-faceted torso joints. The niobium-titanium superconducting ring of the chest reactor is spitting out orange-yellow pulses. When the perception sinks into the magneto-rheological fluid transmission cabin of the knee joint, time suddenly collapses into a fluid. He witnessed the hydraulic rod drawing a Mobius strip in four-dimensional space, and every friction of the nano-bearing was creating a new parallel universe. In his perceptual intent, this No. 0 mecha was standing in its complete posture under the aurora of the ice valley.

"Whoosh~"

Under the sky full of wind and snow, Lin Xian exhaled a long puff of cold air.

When he swept through the inside of the No. 0 mecha's telepathy cockpit, he knew that this mecha had a formal name: Pangu.

At this moment, he inexplicably felt a kind of sky-shaking and earth-shattering heroic spirit pouring out of his chest, and his understanding of machines seemed to reach a higher level of thinking.

Kiki was resisting the wind and snow for Lin Xian with esper ability on the side, fearing that the raging cold wind would affect his judgment. At this time, seeing Lin Xian open his eyes, she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "So fast, how is it?"

Lin Xian said in a deep voice: "The external main structure, except for the tearing opening on the left arm and the nano-ceramic window on the head, is basically not seriously damaged. But I noticed that the tearing opening on the head seems to have destroyed part of the host inside. Maybe this is a big trouble."

Kiki said upon hearing this: "You mean the main control system might be broken?"

Lin Xian nodded and analyzed: "Just now, in order to scare away the monster tide, the No. 0 mecha started the nuclear power energy core. When we went in, I was wondering, why did starting the energy core require Chen Wei to link the main control system? Now it seems that it was to manually control the fire, bridge supply, and other subsystems that were originally managed by the AI system to drive..."

"Then they still dare to start this mecha?" Kiki was shocked: "In this situation, even if a few more Level 5 resonance pilots come, it's useless, right? So many subsystems rely on experience and manual operation? That Chen Wei is afraid that before he lets the mecha stand up, his brain will be burned into an egg by the fault feedback of tens of millions of neural elements."

Lin Xian pondered slightly. He didn't know how Chen Wei managed to carry this mecha alone in this situation. The entire mecha has at least tens of millions of sensors and controllers, integrated into dozens or hundreds of control units, and then comprehensively controlled by the AI brain. It is already complicated enough for the pilot to perform resonant simulation operations. It is hard to imagine that such a complex system relies on manual operation, which requires the brain and willpower to reach what kind of high load.

"So, you really can't fix it?" Kiki asked at this time.

Lin Xian shook his head with a bitter smile: "Impossible. Even if I have enough time, I can only solve those mechanical faults. Maybe I can fix the tearing wound on the left arm, but I can't make the AI host."

"Then what should we do now?" Kiki frowned: "The people on our car are waiting for us. If we wait until night, they will definitely encounter some trouble."

Lin Xian looked at Kiki's worried look and couldn't help but be slightly stunned in his heart. This little girl is now worried about the safety of the whole car...

"Don't be anxious. If you can't fix the mecha, it's not like there are no other ways. Before Shi Diyuan took us to find Team Leader Yu, didn't I say that I probably can't handle this mecha."

Kiki looked at Lin Xian upon hearing this: "So, you have other ways?"

"Yes, but..."

Lin Xian looked at the time on his watch with a heavy brow, thought for a moment, and then hooked his finger at Kiki: "Quick, I need you to do me a favor."

Time came to 15:00. The wind and snow gradually increased. The defensive line on the Terrakama Ice Valley formed a narrow arc around the No. 0 mecha. Besides those who came to support like Shi Diyuan, there were also members of other survivor convoys who came out in full force. Adding up to more than two hundred people, looking at this, it seemed that they were all trapped in this place.

On the all-terrain drive train of Longshan No. 1, Shi Diyuan and a group of brothers were preparing ammunition. Xiang Xiang Ningjing counted the number of people and walked toward Shi Diyuan with a heavy face.

"Old Shi, no matter what, we have to rush before dark. There are so many people on Longshan No. 1. Now only Lu Yong is looking after them. If we encounter a monster tide, I estimate it will be more ominous than auspicious."

Shi Diyuan buckled a chain of ammunition into the ammunition drum, paused, and said: "Team Leader Yu and Company Commander Sun are urgently discussing the plan, and will call everyone together later. We must fight before dark, but that big black worm, if it weren't for this mecha's deterrence, we really wouldn't have any other way."

"Besides Xilan City's support, didn't Fatty Cat say that the armed company also went down to the ice valley to find other ways out?" Xiang Xiang Ningjing said anxiously.

"That's not as good as waiting for rescue."

Shi Diyuan shook his head and said: "That ice valley is crisscrossed with ravines, and no vehicle can pass through. Even if there is a road, we can't march alone in the blizzard. Without these cars, we can't survive 5 miles."

Xiang Xiang Ningjing sighed upon hearing this and looked at Abai, opening her mouth to say:

"Abai, can you still perceive the monster aura on us?"

Abai sat in the corner of the carriage, looked at everyone upon hearing this, and said in a low voice: "After we contacted the monsters... we all have some on us."

Xiang Xiang Ningjing looked down at herself, her gaze slightly cold: "What did Lin Dui say? He is a mechanical esper, does he have a way?"

"Hey."

Shi Diyuan stood up suddenly: "He definitely has a way. This kid, tens of thousands of people were saved by him. I estimate this little difficulty can't stop him. But... having said that,"

After speaking, he looked at Xiang Xiang Ningjing seriously and said: "Longshan No. 1's ability to rush out of the wind and snow might have to rely on him. So no matter what the situation is tonight, we must think of a way to ensure that Brother Lin is sent out safely, so that the people on the two trains can have a way to live."

"You guys too, do you understand!"

He scanned the other brother members sternly, and everyone nodded without hesitation upon hearing this.

In the wind and snow, Lin Xian stood alone under the No. 0 mecha Pangu, looking up at the huge nuclear-powered turbine engine, feeling the scorching heat driving away the cold around him. The whole person seemed to be about to be swallowed by that beautiful vortex.

"Handsome guy, why, in trouble?"

A sharp voice rang out. Lin Xian looked back and found that Qian Dele, wearing a mink fur coat, was looking at him with great interest.

Lin Xian looked behind and then at Qian Dele, quite surprised: "You are so fast, when did you stand behind me?"

"Just now."

Qian Dele's eyes swept over Lin Xian and slowly looked at the No. 0 mecha: "Everyone thinks that only this big thing can save us. Could it be that you think so too?"

"It's normal to have this idea. With such a big killer behind you, anyone will have the idea of relying on a big tree to enjoy the shade."

"Enjoy the shade? Hehe, freezing to death~"

Qian Dele tightened his coat and looked at the No. 0 mecha slowly, saying: "However, since fleeing, this is the first time there is a human weapon that can make those ugly monsters feel fear. This Emperor Project makes us survivors feel that humans don't seem so small."

Lin Xian said bluntly: "Do you know about the Dark Mark?"

Qian Dele looked at him blankly, waiting for him to speak.

"We discovered that there is a kind of language or means of communication and hunting among dark strange entities, which can put an invisible mark on the prey, and this mark will make us a lighthouse in the dark forest after dark, thus being hunted by other hunters around."

"Interesting." Qian Dele said with great interest upon hearing this: "Looking at it this way, these monsters are quite united."

"Hmm?" Lin Xian was somewhat stunned. It was the first time he heard someone pay attention to this point, making him couldn't help but start discussing this problem with Qian Dele.

"Your first reaction is this?"

Qian Dele's gaze was somewhat arrogant. He used a nostalgic tone and said: "Before the Apocalypse, my biggest hobby was shopping and hunting. As a professional hunter with a legal gun license, I have a habit, that is, the prey I fancy, I won't let other hunters make a move."

"Why?" Lin Xian asked.

"What's the reason for this..." Qian Dele smiled lightly and looked at Lin Xian: "Hunters enjoy the hunting itself, and don't care much about the harvest brought back, just like fishing enthusiasts enjoy the process of catching fish. If he likes to eat fish, he can completely go to the supermarket to buy one. What's more... I don't like to eat meat."

"Fishing enthusiasts, besides liking to fish, also like to feed fish, just don't like to eat fish." Lin Xian heard Qian Dele's words and remembered that when he was in college, he often skipped class to go fishing, with complete equipment and style, but almost always returned empty-handed. For this reason, the brothers in the same dormitory often asked him to eat fish to damage him...

"Hum, hum, hum~" Qian Dele smiled and then said: "Hunters never share prey, so this Dark Mark you mentioned doesn't look like a relationship between hunter and prey."

"More like... a kill order?"

Lin Xian's expression was slightly cold upon hearing this: "I have always believed that the purpose of dark strange entities is not simply to swallow prey, they just want us to disappear."

"So when I heard you say that the big black worm didn't dare to come near here, I was very puzzled. After all, when facing those monsters before, it seemed like they were fearless. But why did this giant worm fear it? Just because this No. 0 mecha killed one of its kind?"

Qian Dele frowned: "Monsters will also have the psychology of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. This is very normal."

Lin Xian was busy manufacturing things with his head down, looked up at the huge No. 0 mecha, and responded lightly: "Maybe."

Qian Dele crossed his arms, looked at Lin Xian with deep eyes, and then he turned his head to look, saying: "Let's go, Team Leader Yu invited the leaders of several convoys to discuss the breakout plan. Although there are only two of you, I think it is necessary for you to participate."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Lin Xian looked at the time on his watch upon hearing this, his expression somewhat solemn. At this time, in the wind and snow, a slender figure fell from the sky, wrapped in an invisible telekinetic shield. Kiki's small face was frozen red. At this time, she landed and said to Lin Xian:

"Done."

"Let's go, time is running out." Lin Xian nodded, so the two hurried toward the combat tent.

As soon as they walked into the combat tent, a warm feeling rushed toward them. At this time, including Shi Diyuan, Xiang Xiang Ningjing, Qian Dele, Sun Kai, and the leaders of 5 other convoys gathered here, plus Yu Yuheng and other members of the Emperor Project group, there were more than thirty people in the tent, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, because everyone could feel the danger approaching.

The Snow Demon tide's attack frequency was getting higher and higher. They could hold on for one night, but not necessarily for two nights. At this time, everyone knew that before dark, they must fight!

Lin Xian and Kiki walked in, and everyone's eyes scanned over. Shi Diyuan and Xiang Xiang Ningjing nodded to them, and Company Commander Sun on the side also gave a look of greeting. Then Lin Xian and Kiki walked from behind the crowd to a corner.

At this time, Lin Xian noticed that the pilot named Chen Wei was also sitting on a work chair not far behind Yu Yuheng, wearing a military coat, his face stern, and his arm was wrapped with many sensors and infusion tubes, seemingly receiving some kind of treatment.

Yu Yuheng saw that everyone had arrived, so he called Sun Kai and organized his language directly, saying:

"It is now 15:20, and there are 2 hours and 40 minutes until dark, plus or minus 10 minutes. Now calling everyone here is to urgently discuss our breakout plan with everyone."

Sun Kai also stood out at this time and said: "Everyone is here to support the predicament we are in, so I will express my position first. No matter which plan we use, our armed company will be responsible for opening the way in the first camp."

"Eh!"

Shi Diyuan interrupted him upon hearing this, raised his hand heroically and said: "No need, unity is the most important thing, and everything must proceed from reality. My train armor is the thickest, opening the way must be handed over to us. If there is armor, use armor first, there is no need for brother troops to block in front!"

"Right! What are you afraid of, I'll just risk my life."

"Saying this makes it seem like we are afraid of death..."

People from other convoys also opened their mouths one after another. These people, since they chose to support, were not selfish people. Although it was only two days, this group of people were like-minded, and everyone quickly got along. At this time, no one would care about these.

"Let's talk about the plan first." Qian Dele crossed his arms, his voice high-pitched, interrupting everyone's discussion: "It's still too early to say this."

Yu Yuheng raised his glasses and said seriously:

"We have prepared two plans, one is a frontal breakout, and the other is to abandon the position and transfer from the back of the ice valley."

"Let's talk about the latter one first."

Yu Yuheng looked at Sun Kai. Sun Kai nodded, then said to everyone: "We went down to the ice valley three times to scout the road. We found a glacier tunnel below, about 3 kilometers, which can lead directly to a glacier slope on the north side. I observed it, and we can go up to the snowfield near Yazehu from there, and then detour. The only problem is the vehicle. If we use this plan, we can only use small snow vehicles, and must abandon large vehicles, and then transfer toward Xilan City together."

"Our Emperor Project group still has more than a dozen small snow vehicles left, all of which are fully enclosed, which is equivalent to traveling light. We have walked three times so far and haven't encountered any strange entities. It can be considered a relatively secret evacuation plan."

Yu Yuheng also added at this time: "The advantage of light evacuation is that our escape will be very fast, and there are no strange entities, so the safety factor will be higher. The only problem is that there will be a risk of encountering strange entities after entering other areas. In this case, it can only be considered a gamble." "What about the frontal breakout?" Xiang Xiang Ningjing asked at this time.

Yu Yuheng said directly: "The frontal breakout plan is like this."

He said and picked up a mobile terminal to operate it. At this time, a demonstration draft of a device appeared on a combat screen behind him.

"This device is called a quantum dot nano-cluster resonance generator. It is a form of energy existence we discovered based on the cold dark basic particles of dark invasion. Currently, we believe that these emitted nano-particles can cause resonance in the strange entity's perception system. Simply put, it is to simulate the way monsters communicate to attract monsters. This was originally one of the test projects of our Emperor Project this time. Through previous actions, it has been confirmed to be effective. After we launched these nano-particles on the target strange entity, Chen Wei and his brother encountered a large-scale strange entity attack as soon as they entered the dark night driving the No. 0 mecha, so we repaired this device overnight and prepared a set of self-running programs, intended to attract those Snow Demons or that black worm."

Kiki in the corner frowned upon hearing this and whispered to Lin Xian: "Hey, how come this description of his doesn't look like he attracted strange entities himself, but rather like he was marked with a Dark Mark?"

"It should be the Dark Mark." Lin Xian's expression was stern at this time: "It's a pity that the Hell Black Chrysanthemum is not with me..."

"What do you mean?!" Hearing Yu Yuheng finish speaking, Shi Diyuan, who was standing at the very front, frowned immediately: "How come I didn't understand?"

"It's like this, I'm talking about the technical principle of this plan first. First of all, this device hasn't been tested by unmanned vehicles yet. In this situation, whether it is feasible or not is still a question mark, so we have prepared multiple contingency plans."

Kiki heard this and whispered to Lin Xian: "Sure enough, I thought it really used unmanned devices to attract monsters. Looking at it this way, it's Chen Wei and his brother who were marked with a Dark Mark during the battle. This plan shouldn't work."

"Wait, let him finish first." Lin Xian whispered.

!

Yu Yuheng let a staff member bring up a glass container at this time, which contained a mass of green juice, and there was a small device above the container.

"This is part of the blood of the giant black worm that died before. We extracted a part that still maintains activity. There is a volatilization device on it. Everyone should have discovered in the past two days that the giant black worm didn't dare to come near here. We inferred the same thing as you guys, so the second preparation of this plan is to bring the blood of this black worm to create the same deterrent power and add a layer of insurance to our breakout."

"Finally, the third preparation."

Yu Yuheng stood out at this time, took out the second glass container, and said: "This device has been made in two copies in total, so this breakout, we will split into two teams!"

"Split into two teams?" Qian Dele frowned.

"That's right." Yu Yuheng nodded, his gaze firm: "Assuming the first preparation and the second preparation didn't work, then we split into two teams, which can ensure that at least one team has a chance not to encounter that black worm."

"In other words, half of the people might survive!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

"Good guy, this sounds a bit tragic." A convoy leader wearing a thick hat said with a panicked expression.

Yu Yuheng shrugged: "There is no better way at present. The resonance generator and the black worm's blood currently only have theoretical effects. If effective, both teams have a chance to survive. As a scientific researcher, I have to proceed from a practical perspective. Splitting into two teams, the probability of survival will be higher."

His words immediately made many people fall into thought. In the process of fleeing, whoever encounters that black worm basically represents total annihilation. In this blizzard, it is almost difficult to survive.

"Are there no other plans? What about Xilan City's support?" Someone asked at this time.

"I suggest we don't hold too much hope for support." Yu Yuheng said calmly: "From here to Xilan City, it is at least 1000 kilometers. Even a flight esper can hardly survive in this extreme cold blizzard. Even if there are no accidents, and no strange entities or trouble are encountered, whether it is possible to find the direction in this environment is another matter, not to mention the problem of whether the reinforcements from Xilan City can block the large-scale monster tide after arriving here."

"Our Emperor Project team's armed company has strong firepower and is also equipped with several assault vehicles, but now it is almost wiped out, with less than 20 people left. Now it is less than three hours before dark. Waiting for rescue is not as good as us taking the initiative. After dark, our survival rate will be greatly reduced. Everyone is clear about this point."

After speaking, Yu Yuheng also looked at Qian Dele: "I know that esper is your subordinate, but sorry, in this situation, it is impossible for us all to wait."

"Although I believe my little partner can definitely reach Xilan City, the problem is indeed difficult to arrive before dark." Qian Dele put his hands in his sleeves, his tone flat.

"Then it looks like only this breakout plan is left." Shi Diyuan crossed his arms and looked at Sun Kai at this time: "Company Commander Sun, let's forget about this ice valley transfer. Abandoning heavy firepower and heavy armored vehicles, even if we can leave this ice valley, I estimate we won't run far."

"Yes." Xiang Xiang Ningjing also echoed: "And you are in team mode. If our main force moves, I estimate the monsters will follow immediately. By then, we really won't even have a chance to resist and will be buried under this ice valley."

The hidden transfer method was actually not regarded as a plan by many people at the beginning. After all, for these survivors, armor and firepower are the source of security.

What's more, although these people here don't have the concept of Dark Mark, they all know how these monsters could fall for an empty city strategy??

Sun Kai nodded upon hearing this. He naturally understood everyone's concerns, so he said:

"Then it's this breakout plan. There are currently two lines, one is the original road to the north, and the other is to detour from the west. Everyone can choose the two routes by themselves. Our armed company is responsible for..."

"There is another plan!"

Before Sun Kai finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly came from behind him, interrupting him.

Everyone looked over in unison and found that Chen Wei stood up at this time, walked over, and said sternly to everyone: "There is another plan, which can let all of you live."

Yu Yuheng immediately stepped forward to stop him, saying in a tone of refusal: "Chen Wei, it has already been said, this plan of yours is not feasible from technical verification."

"What is not feasible?"

Chen Wei pulled up a young man in the technical team: "Xiao Yang is a Level 3 resonance coefficient pilot. Before, I could drive alone, plus Xiao Yang helping me handle the relay signal, it can be started completely!"

Yu Yuheng argued loudly: "The reason why you haven't died for 46 minutes before is because you were lucky that the blizzard rushed into the cockpit and didn't let your brain cook, plus there was a sub-host supporting the weapon program. You can live until now entirely because you are lucky!"

"Since we are going to self-detonate the mecha, it's better to let me go up. It's better for the two of us to die than to let two teams gamble with their lives!" Chen Wei roared.

After speaking, he stared at Yu Yuheng, his gaze stern, word by word: "I know the Emperor Project treats me as an important asset, but don't you know what the highest program of our Phoenix Society is?"

Yu Yuheng's face kept changing under his gaze. He trembled and raised his glasses, shouting hysterically: "I have told you many times, this is a technical problem, not considering it from assets. If you do this, you will only..."

Chen Wei grabbed Yu Yuheng's collar, gritted his teeth, and said slowly: "I'm not afraid of death, I'm only afraid of living cowardly."

For a time, the atmosphere in the tent became icy.

"Alright, alright, stop talking, both of you."

Just at this time, a light female voice interrupted the two's quarrel. Everyone looked over, only to see Kiki standing in the corner, crossing her arms, and saying to Chen Wei:

"Although you have a bad temper, you have a lot of backbone, which I admire. But I still want to tell you, he is right. Your plan, besides a burst of hot blood, can't do anything, and will only die in vain."

Chen Wei's gaze swept coldly toward Kiki: "What did you say!?"

"I said, you will only die in vain." Kiki was not afraid of his gaze at all, and said confidently and quickly: "From a technical point of view, besides the AI host damage, this mecha has another problem, extreme cold. Now it has been shut down for more than 24 hours. The whole body, except for the power core, other engines including drive and joint pivots need to be restarted, not only overall operation but also de-icing! In this situation, wanting to start it is several times harder than you insisting on fighting in the driving state before."

"To put it ugly, even if the two of you go up, I estimate that within an hour, you won't even be able to stand up, and your brains will have been burned into eggs by the fault feedback of tens of millions of neural elements. Not to mention a bunch of other problems. I think since you have driven it yourself, you must have some understanding of this guy's driving difficulty. Are you sure that bringing that inexperienced person can solve the problem?"

Kiki's words made Chen Wei unable to refute. He opened his mouth and looked at Yu Yuheng in front of him.

Yu Yuheng struggled to get out of his hand at this time, raised his glasses and said: "I have told you many times, why I don't consider your plan is entirely out of technical considerations. No one knows the problems of this mecha better than I do. The two of you going up will only die in vain and waste our time."

"And you, don't be happy yet, your plan won't work either, it's completely talking on paper."

Just when everyone thought the argument was over, who knew that Kiki suddenly aimed the spearhead at Yu Yuheng, which made everyone a bit unable to understand.

"Me?" Yu Yuheng was surprised.

Everyone's suspicious eyes fell on Kiki at this time. Just now, Yu Yuheng's plan was still feasible from a logical point of view, and he prepared triple contingency plans. Although it sounded tragic, it was indeed a feasible plan.

Kiki sighed upon hearing Yu Yuheng's question: "Your work should rarely face strange entities, and you haven't experienced this kind of dangerous moment, right?"

Yu Yuheng was somewhat indignant: "What do you mean? Are you going to mention the experience problem to me?"

"It's not an experience problem, it's a common sense problem."

Kiki raised her finger and said: "No matter what device attracts monsters, or monster blood, you have ignored the most important problem. These monsters have eyes, noses, and ears, can lock onto us in the dark night, and even possess a certain wisdom. We have encountered strange entities countless times in the dark night, either escaping, dying, or being killed by us. But when have you ever seen these monsters miss?"

Yu Yuheng's expression froze upon hearing this, and Chen Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Also, you said splitting into two teams, this plan makes people feel dark. You know how many Snow Demons and Snow Demons are in this snowfield? Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions? Compared to these monsters, our few people are not enough to see at all. Don't say splitting into two teams, even if splitting into twenty teams, what we face is endless monster tides, and we will only die faster."

Kiki continued to question: "Also, there is another giant black worm corpse three kilometers away. How can you be sure that there is only one such black worm underground?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Yuheng was speechless, and Shi Diyuan, Qian Dele, and others also looked heavy. These few are all people who lead large convoys, so they naturally understood the problem of this plan very quickly.

"Then according to what you said, we are only left to wait for rescue in place?" Chen Wei shouted directly. Kiki's words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing everyone's hope. Before acting, they had already begun to be negative. This was very indignant for him, who was a soldier.

"Brother Kiki, Brother Lin, do you have other ways." Shi Diyuan noticed Lin Xian and Kiki standing silently on the edge of the crowd from the beginning. At this time, seeing Kiki deny all plans, he came to spirit. He looked at Lin Xian, his tone somewhat urgent.

"There must be a way." Kiki said, and everyone's eyes changed.

Lin Xian saw Kiki criticize Yu Yuheng and Chen Wei, so he stood out directly to Yu Yuheng: "Team Leader Yu, there is one point that we all still recognize, that is, as official personnel of the Phoenix Society, you first put your own safety aside and are willing to stand in front of us survivors to face difficulties. Courage and belief are worth affirming."

Yu Yuheng was poured a basin of cold water by Kiki, who had carefully formulated his plan, and his face was uncertain. Hearing Lin Xian's words, his tone weakened a bit and said:

"If you have a better plan, just say it directly, no need to compliment me. She is right, I am just a technical person, and my experience is indeed insufficient..."

Lin Xian nodded, looked at the time, and didn't beat around the bush at this time, standing out sternly and saying:

"Actually, the plan is very simple. We all rush out together before dark."

As soon as the words fell, the tent suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at Lin Xian with complicated expressions, somewhat unbelievable.

What kind of plan is this?

Chen Wei's eyes were angry at this time. He saw Lin Xian standing out with a confident look, and thought there was some detailed plan, but this was it?

Rushing directly, isn't this nonsense? If they could rush out directly, why would everyone hide here?

This time, even Shi Diyuan, who had always supported Lin Xian, couldn't understand. He looked at Lin Xian somewhat inexplicably and said: "Uh, Brother Lin, is that it?"

"That's not it." Lin Xian didn't have time to play riddles. He looked serious and spoke directly and decisively:

"First of all, I want to remind everyone, did you forget a very important thing, that is, it is now daytime, and the time is 15:20."

Lin Xian looked at his watch and continued: "All Snow Demons drill out from the snow layer and cannot be exposed to sunlight for a long time. In the case of relatively large blizzards, they will be more active, which also directly explains that light is very dangerous for strange entities, including that giant worm. It came out twice, but didn't move for long before quickly drilling into the ground. The parts exposed to light were hit by our firepower and also lifted a piece of flesh and blood. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

"Of course we know this." Qian Dele crossed his arms, with a proud look: "After dark, these monsters don't move like this."

"And then?" Yu Yuheng looked at Lin Xian and frowned.

Lin Xian looked at everyone's confused look, walked up directly, took the mobile terminal from Yu Yuheng's hand, and threw it directly to Kiki.

"Girl."

"Alright, right away." Kiki cooperated tacitly and immediately began to operate.

At this time, a picture appeared on the projection screen behind Yu Yuheng, which was a temporary terrain curvature map.

Lin Xian pointed to one of the directions: "Our current position is in the Terrakama Ice Valley near Yazehu. The extreme cold weather will cause cold air to stick to the ground, which is the so-called temperature inversion layer. Plus the cover of the extreme cold vortex cloud layer at noon, the light will be very weak. However, in the afternoon, after the temperature inversion layer dissipates, the sun slants to the west, plus the diffuse reflection of the snow layer, the light will reach its strongest point of the day."

"This time is more specific..." Lin Xian looked at his watch again: "It should be this time period from 16:00-17:00. We break out at this time, and the grasp is the highest."

"Humph."

Chen Wei was very impatient when he heard this: "It's completely child's play. The dark clouds above our heads are blocking the sky and the sun. Could it be that you can make the sun listen to you?"

Yu Yuheng's face also sank upon hearing this: "The wind and snow are very strong now, and the weather conditions cannot be estimated. I understand what you mean, but light..."

"Light, I can handle it." Lin Xian interrupted his words.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Lin Dui." Sun Kai looked at Lin Xian somewhat inexplicably: "What do you mean by this?"

Without waiting for everyone to react, Lin Xian directly turned around and launched a gravitational lens toward the tent!

Hum!

In an instant, a very small space vortex appeared in the tent hall. In an instant, the light in the room was distorted and layered, and even all computer screens were interfered with by some kind of signal energy. The screens began to appear with curved snowflake points, all of which were attracted toward the direction of the space distortion.

Swish, the next moment, everything returned to normal.

"Changing the light of the sky for a short time, my esper ability can do it."

Lin Xian's words were like a heavy bomb exploding in the crowd. At this time, Chen Wei and Yu Yuheng's faces changed drastically, and their eyes looked at Lin Xian in shock.

"Ah?? Can you control the weather?"

"Not that exaggerated, actually it's just enhancing the light. It's usually useless, but these monsters like to drill out during the day, so I can come in handy." Lin Xian didn't want to discuss his gravitational lens too much. He didn't understand this thing himself, so he pretended to be humble and said.

"In addition, there is another very important problem that you haven't considered. Before we came here, there were no Snow Demons in the surrounding area of Yaze Lake, but they gathered here in large numbers. The specific reason might be related to this mecha or high-level strange entities, but if we leave, these monsters will definitely continue to pursue. We can't run to Xilan City in an hour, so even if we escape, if there is no response, we will find it very difficult to escape the attack of these monsters."

"But my Infinite and Brother Shi's Longshan No. 1 are parked on the north line track about one hundred kilometers away. Now the whole train is ready for firepower to cover us. As long as we can rush to the target position, we can get greater firepower support. With the two sides joining forces, we have a chance to persist to Xilan City after dark."

"Wait!"

Yu Yuheng was full of questions at this time, both shocked and puzzled, and said to Lin Xian: "The signals here have all been blocked by the blizzard, how could you possibly contact the convoy one hundred kilometers away???"

"That's right, this kid even contacted Longshan No. 1, how come I don't know?" Shi Diyuan in the crowd muttered.

Xiang Xiang Ningjing beside him suddenly reacted to something, and her expression was happy!

"Who said I couldn't contact." Lin Xian took out his communicator in front of everyone.

"Hello, Teacher Chen, is Fire Brother ready to open the way?" He pressed the communication key to contact the Infinite.

"Click, click... buzz, buzz, buzz"

"Lin Xian, we are all ready here!!" After a section of signal noise, Chen Sixuan's voice sounded in the quiet tent!!

Scrape, scrape, scrape!

Lin Xian raised his hand and waved, manufacturing a signal pillar in front of everyone, weighed it in his hand and said: "I am a very cautious person. When I came out to find Brother Shi, I was afraid of getting lost, so I left a signal pillar every few hundred meters."

After speaking, he looked at Yu Yuheng, whose expression was stunned: "Team Leader Yu, I have to report one thing to you. My nearest signal tower is two kilometers away. Because I encountered a monster tide on the road, I didn't have time to pre-bury it, so I just borrowed the No. 0 mecha's super-frequency signal seat device to make a bridge system to help me transfer the signal."

Yu Yuheng's glasses slid off the bridge of his nose, opened his mouth: "You... you... when... when?"

Lin Xian looked at Kiki, and Yu Yuheng also looked at the girl on the side: "Don't worry, I didn't peek at your secrets~"

"Good kid!" Shi Diyuan called out loudly: "So you left a backup early, hahaha."

Qian Dele looked at Lin Xian with surprise and talent at this time, and couldn't help but stretch out his thumb: "This handsome guy is indeed unusual."

"This plan is not bad." A convoy big brother was excited.

"Indeed worth a try!" Everyone began to echo.

Sun Kai also looked at Lin Xian. Under the surprised gaze, his breathing became a bit rapid. The whole team gathered to break out, considering the terrain and weather, combined with the daytime light, and most importantly, solved the response problem they couldn't handle before. Although there is no perfect strategy, at this time, Lin Xian's arrangement is definitely the best plan to let this group of people live!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the tent became high and enthusiastic because of Lin Xian's thoughtful move. A real hope for survival began to grow wildly in everyone's heart!

At this time, outside the Terrakama Ice Valley, the biting cold wind and snow blew continuously. On the snowfield, there was a gray signal pillar inserted in the deep snow every few hundred meters, and the green signal lights flickered like breathing, like electronic beacon fires in the white ocean, transmitting the blizzard frequency!
