Chapter 273: Ability Detection (10k Explosion)
Not long after, Ding Junyi was ready and came down from the train with her computer, while Chen Sixuan carried the pot of Hell Black Chrysanthemum down.
The group of research team members saw the strange black plant and immediately gathered around, starting to communicate with Ding Junyi.
Subsequently, the Hell Black Chrysanthemum was carefully escorted onto the car by Guo Sicheng and others, while Ding Junyi also signaled to Lin Xian simply and followed onto the research team's car.
"Must protect it well, go back immediately and start arranging experiments, call everyone who can help!" Professor Guo's old face seemed to have no fatigue, full of excitement and joy. He started arranging things before he even got on the car.
Yu Yuheng also came over to express his gratitude to Lin Xian: "Lin Dui, I really don't know how to thank you. You not only saved our team but are also willing to support the work of our Phoenix Society. Besides thanks, I have nothing else to say. If we can escape this extreme cold vortex, I will apply to my superiors. Your ability might have a different solution for our Emperor Project."
"You're too polite." Lin Xian's impression of Yu Yuheng was not bad at this time. Although as Kiki said, he was a person with a heavy scholarly air, the move just now made Lin Xian look at him with new eyes.
Putting aside prejudice at critical moments and choosing to cooperate, this kind of breadth of mind is not simple, and it is also the reason why Lin Xian admires these scientific workers.
At this time, everyone had gotten on the car, except for Wei Kexue who hadn't left. He was standing in the wind and snow, hurriedly digging for something in his clothes pocket. Then he walked toward Lin Xian. Lin Xian discovered that Wei Kexue had taken out a black iron box from his inner pocket. He took off his gloves, breathed a hot breath on his hands, and opened it carefully. Inside, there were actually three first-grade blood crystals rolling around. Then he handed the iron box to Lin Xian, smiling sheepishly:
"Professor Guo is an old academic school, doesn't understand those interest disputes, and only knows how to say some great righteousness. I know this calamity plant is very important to you. Perhaps after the research is successful, the Phoenix Society will give you some kind of commendation, but right now our research team has nothing. Take this as a little heart from our research group, I hope you don't dislike it. We will definitely not delay for a moment these two days, and will not waste your trust in us."
Lin Xian saw Wei Kexue's haggard face and knew that it must have been very difficult for a technical person like him to collect this. He reached out and pushed it away, saying: "Since I am willing to cooperate with the Phoenix Society, I naturally trust you. Let's not talk about benefits. I just hope that we can have some discoveries soon, that would really be helping all survivors."
Hearing this, the smile on Wei Kexue's face solidified bit by bit, his gaze sank slightly, and he buried his face looking at the iron box in his hand and said.
"Actually, the teacher proposed this theory a long time ago. At first, I didn't support him at all. Not only me, many people were unwilling to believe, or should I say, didn't dare to believe..."
"Is it because you are afraid of facing dark creatures?" Lin Xian said.
Wei Kexue said in a deep voice: "For survivors, yes. For the high-level of the Phoenix Society, not entirely."
Lin Xian's gaze tightened upon hearing this.
"If the attack mode of dark creatures is through marking, treating humans as bonfires or lighthouses in the darkness to locate and then attack, to a certain extent, it also shows that the Phoenix Society's plan to chase the dawn is essentially riskier."
Lin Xian asked back: "So the Federation's defensive plan is correct? The problem of dark invasion cannot be solved. Humans without sunlight cannot live long. That is just a question of long pain versus short pain. What is the point of deceiving oneself?"
Wei Kexue sighed helplessly: "I know, we all know, but ordinary people actually think very little, and the most important point I think is not the problem of stance choice, but that this theory will change the survival mode of humans to a certain extent."
He said, raising his head to look at Lin Xian: "If confirmed, it means letting these survivors who have managed to survive with great difficulty go to actively fight dark creatures. To put it bluntly, it is letting people go to die."
Lin Xian's words stalled upon hearing this, and he didn't speak.
"Without investigation, there is no right to speak. That leader was right." Wei Kexue pondered: "Whether standing from the perspective of a scientist or the perspective of a doomsday leader, we must produce tangible evidence for this dangerous theory, otherwise it is very likely to accelerate the extinction of humanity."
Lin Xian looked at him at this time: "What exactly did you encounter in Weihe?"
Wei Kexue couldn't help but shiver all over when he heard Lin Xian's words. His expression fell into incomparable pain, and his lips began to tremble unnaturally.
"The mark... reached a certain threshold."
"A certain threshold of certain death."
As soon as this was said, Lin Xian only felt the hair all over his body stand up.
Wei Kexue's eyes were full of pain and struggle, as if he didn't dare to recall it again: "At that time, I gradually affirmed the teacher's theory. I also repeatedly mentioned it to Team Leader Bai Shuang. Our death pressure every night was constantly increasing, but at that time everyone felt that we were about to converge with the large army at the support station."
"Just missing... the last dawn..."
Lin Xian fell into silence upon hearing this. He understood what Wei Kexue had encountered at this time.
Although they successfully escaped from the climbing elevator, what they faced was a level 5 mark.
Fortunately, the Infinite luckily escaped in Rain Town. After discovering it, it also successfully suppressed the dark mark with the help of a territory-type parasitic monster, otherwise the entire train would not have survived that night.
But other survivors were not as lucky as him. For example, the fire line fleet they encountered was completely wiped out, and not even a corpse was found.
And other survivor fleets that came from Yubei Airport, except for Longshan No. 1, had not seen a single one so far. Xu Jin, Old Mo, Jiang Yun, etc., and Jian Xuwei's Silver Star...
"So this..." Wei Kexue patted the wind and snow on the iron box and handed the iron box to Lin Xian's hand again: "I can't use it either, take it as me returning a favor, accept it."
Lin Xian reached out and took it, looking at the three blood crystals in the box, took a breath, and nodded: "Okay, thank you."
Seeing Lin Xian accept it, Wei Kexue relaxed a little, and his eyes seemed to have a bit more spirit. He said to him: "Then we will go back first. If you have anything, come to Xilan University on Zhongyangdajie to find us. Our research team temporarily borrowed the research room in the university."
Lin Xian nodded, then Wei Kexue also followed onto the car, and the group left in a rush again.
Watching the snowmobiles of the research group and the Emperor Project group leave, Chen Sixuan walked to Lin Xian's side and said: "This dark mark seems to be much more troublesome than we imagined, but how could that foundation have such an advanced judgment?"
Lin Xian sighed and said: "Don't talk about that foundation. We still can't figure out their origin. As for the Phoenix Society, the official side is like this. Wei Kexue was right just now. Now every move they make, any measure, any advocacy, may affect survivors all over the world."
"For example, the vegetable juice proposed by the Nightwalker organization can suppress the dark invasion power in the survivors' bodies, but the problem is what if some people with ulterior motives use some unknown wild grass or poisonous grass to trade for benefits? Now it's the end of the world, and there is no testing equipment. Those desperate people might really be fooled. What's more, the Phoenix Society can't even determine what substance in the vegetable juice can neutralize the dark invasion toxin, so it's even more impossible to promote it as a solution."
"Also." Chen Sixuan nodded: "The discrimination ability of ordinary people is actually very weak. Now at the critical moment of life and death, it is even easier to be guided by wrong information. I can actually understand this point."
"A vegetable juice is already like this, so if there is no firm judgment, the Phoenix Society will not officially announce the theory of the dark mark to the outside world. This impact is much greater than that of vegetable juice, so their rigor is also understandable. The most important thing is that even if this theory is confirmed, an observation method must be found, otherwise it has no meaning. Because even if survivors know and accept the dark mark, they don't know whether they have it or what level of mark it is, and they cannot make an accurate judgment. It's impossible to fight every time they encounter a strange entity. We have the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, but others don't. If it can't be judged, it's equivalent to this theory not existing."
"I understand." Chen Sixuan said: "I hope there will be results soon."
At this time, on the Infinite, the lights in the living carriage began to turn on. Chen Sixuan saw it and said: "Many people are up. You've been busy all night, come and eat something first, and then you can arrange for everyone to prepare the train."
Lin Xian nodded: "Okay, there are still many things to do after dawn."
Inside the Infinite carriage, the team members began to wake up one after another. The living carriage was full of surging vitality. Many people sighed repeatedly. Before long, the sounds of washing and exercising began to sound frequently.
Kiki also had a good sleep. When she opened her eyes and woke up, she found that it was almost 10 o'clock. Shasha was squatting in front of her window with a bowl of hot soup, blowing on the heat while looking at her.
"Sister Kiki, you are the last one to wake up. It's the first time I've seen you sleep for so long."
Kiki sat up with a start, looked at the soup in Shasha's hand, and then looked at her: "Where is your Lin Ge?"
Shasha pursed her lips toward the window: "He is installing armor plates with them. Lin Ge said that after dawn, everyone will go to the Phoenix Society to test their abilities, then trade for supplies, and in the afternoon, they can move freely~"
Hearing Shasha's words, Kiki knew that Lin Xian had been busy all night, and felt a little worried in her heart.
"Move aside, move aside~"
She flew out immediately and headed toward the bathroom, preparing to wash up immediately.
Who knew her speed was too fast, and she almost hit the roof of the car directly, startling her into hurriedly opening her mental shield, and with a bang, she was bounced to the ground, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Sister Kiki, what's wrong with you?" Shasha looked at her action of wanting to dismantle the house with a surprised face: "Do you want to crash through the roof?"
Kiki rubbed her butt and stood up from the ground, looking at her hands with a strange expression, muttering in her heart.
"Why does it feel like my mental power has increased a lot? Could it be because I rested too well?"
Lin Xian was on the roof of the car. Hearing the movement, he opened the roof hatch of the No. 2 carriage and happened to see Kiki below: "What are you doing?"
"I, I, I~ nothing." Looking up and seeing Lin Xian, Kiki hurriedly fled into the bathroom.
Lin Xian looked at Shasha with an inexplicable expression. Shasha also shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she didn't know what had happened.
In the temporary assembly 'workshop' of the freight station, the brand-new Infinite armor was being installed piece by piece. The old armor on the right side had been completely dismantled, revealing the scarred internal carriage box.
Lin Xian used his mechanical ability to repair the damage to the carriage. Now the new armor included a cushioning lining. Besides protection, it also had a certain thermal insulation effect.
The crane operated continuously, and the entire Infinite train began to be fitted with silver-black new armor.
Now the outside of the carriage used a modular loading rack. Because these armor plates were manufactured by him in an integrated manner, if there was damage later, he could completely manufacture them for modular replacement, and then fix them directly with mechanical bolts.
At 11:20, the sound of welding and assembly in the workshop was deafening. At this time, the black curtain covering the sky quickly receded, and the entire Xilan City suddenly ushered in dazzling sunlight.
The wind and snow that had been falling all night had also stopped at this time. A warmth penetrated the gap of the extreme cold vortex and sprinkled on the earth, giving Xilan City, which was covered in white snow, a feeling of bright daylight.
The Infinite, which was loading and unloading armor plates, and the people of Longshan No. 1, who had been busy all night, all felt a warmth and comfort rising instantly, and it seemed that even the temperature had risen a bit.
Instantly, everyone looked at the sky in unison, protecting their eyes, looking at the long-lost dawn.
The Fenlan Mountain not far away also became clearer at this time, with cold mist lingering on the mountainside.
Although the time of darkness was getting longer and longer, after dawn, it always gave all survivors a sense of human fireworks that were worth living for.
"It's dawn..."
Lin Xian stood on the roof of the car. At this time, the armor plates on the right wing of the Infinite had not been fully installed, but he prepared to take advantage of the daylight to finish the ability detection matter first. And there were so many fleets in Xilan City, he also prepared to go and see, get to know them, get some weapons and ammunition or blueprints, and take this opportunity to properly upgrade the train.
And the remaining installation work would be left to other team members to complete. As for the armor plates on the left side of the Infinite, he could only wait until he finished the Phoenix Society matter today before coming back to install them.
"Lin Dui."
Shu Qin walked over at this time: "Are we who are not ability users going too?"
"Going." Lin Xian nodded: "Now the Nightwalker organization's research on genetic evolutionists is no less than that of ability users, and evolutionists belong to the vast majority, with great potential. We cannot miss any opportunity to understand this evolutionary power, which will be of great help to our survival."
Shu Qin nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, then should we arrange more people to guard the car?"
"No need."
Lin Xian pointed to the dozen or so people who were currently installing armor plates: "They are enough. I have also greeted Team Leader Shi. The hundreds of people on Longshan No. 1 will also look after us."
Dalou, Shasha, Kiki, Lu Xingchen, Chen Sixuan, Miao Lu, Lv Chang, and Xiao Yuan, these core backbones, definitely all had to go. And because Director Ding went to the Phoenix Society's research institute to stay, she couldn't go. However, Lin Xian didn't plan to develop Ding Junyi's ability for the time being. For one thing, her ability hadn't fully shown a growth path, and for another, her ability was too mysterious, and Lin Xian was also worried about causing some unnecessary attention. His mechanical ability had already made the Infinite a point that even the Phoenix Society and even the Descent Sect were eyeing. In this situation, there was no need to cause more trouble.
"So good, everyone is like going on a trip together."
Shasha walked out of the crowd, her little face full of excitement. Since fleeing for so long, there hadn't been such a comfortable and pleasant sunny time for a long time.
Kiki flew in the air, closing her eyes and bathing in the sunlight, with a look of comfort: "Hmm, hmm~ no ugly zombies, no bugs, no monsters, so comfortable~"
Lu Xingchen put on a pair of sunglasses in a flashy way, not wearing cold-weather gear, but wearing a fiery red handsome sweatshirt. Among everyone, he wore the least, and at a glance, he was the most prominent among the crowd in thick clothes, because he was a fire-type ability user, and his anti-freezing ability was obviously not on the same level as others, but people who didn't know would only cast a look like looking at a fool, wearing a sweatshirt in minus 50-degree weather~
Shu Qin and Chen Sixuan were both fully armed and wearing power armor, looking heroic.
In addition, Miao Lu and Lv Chang also followed behind.
Xiao Yuan was arranged by Lin Xian to participate in the core team's mission for the first time, and she followed the crowd excitedly, looking at the figure in front with eager eyes.
She was also a genetic evolutionist, but her performance was not particularly prominent yet, but she was already able to fight on her own.
"Lin Ge."
At this time, on the Longshan No. 1 side, Shi Diyuan, Xiang Xiang Ningjing, Lu Yong, Abai, Xiaoqing, and dozens of ability users and enhancers walked down from the train in a mighty manner.
"So many people?" Lin Xian looked at this combat team and said with great surprise.
"It's okay, it's okay." Shi Diyuan waved his hand: "Now at least one or two hundred people on the car have started to have signs of genetic evolution, but I only picked these who are a bit prominent. Besides testing, let everyone see the world. This kind of opportunity is very rare. It's hard to say if we can see so many people on the road in the future."
Lu Yong, the third team leader on Longshan No. 1, said with some helplessness: "We have more people, and the pressure we face when encountering crises is also great, so big brother picked more people, let everyone learn something from other fleets."
"Of course, we also have to build up momentum, let those guys who want to poach people from me weigh it." Shi Diyuan coughed lightly and said loudly.
Lin Xian understood upon hearing this, and felt a bit funny in his heart. This guy said he didn't care last night, letting people poach others, but ended up bringing a large group of experts. It seems he still cares about face.
"By the way." Shi Diyuan knew that Lin Xian had received Mo Nika's commission and said: "Aren't you going to repair the car for that girl surnamed Mo later? I'll go with you to see her doomsday train, and see if I can learn some modification experience."
"Repairing the car for whom?"
Hearing Shi Diyuan's words at this time, Kiki leaned over curiously.
"A friend of Qian Dele, using a train vehicle like us, but her car is very interesting."
Lin Xian briefly explained what happened last night.
"Wow, a 2-billion doomsday fortress, sounds good." Kiki's eyes lit up: "Then we must go and see."
At this time, Shi Diyuan suddenly leaned over and whispered in Lin Xian's ear: "If this Mo Nika wants to join your fleet, you'd better investigate clearly. Yesterday I heard Old Qian mention that the people in her team are not entirely peaceful guys."
"I won't let people join the team casually." Lin Xian smiled, then said: "Besides, her 2-billion doomsday special train is much more powerful than mine. She said that on purpose just to flatter me."
"Hahahaha, smart~"
Shi Diyuan spoke straight and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder. "By the way." Xiang Xiang Ningjing walked out at this time and said to Lin Xian: "Abai reflected a situation to me. Yesterday, after those monster tides retreated, he saw a monster in the snowstorm, but he wasn't sure what it was, because none of us had the mark you mentioned."
Lin Xian was slightly surprised: "Abai can see the dark mark?"
"He has always called this the aura left by monsters. Now it seems that it should be the same thing you mentioned."
Lin Xian looked at Abai with surprise upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that a blind ability user could perceive the existence of the dark mark. It seems that the Hell Black Chrysanthemum is not the only case that can perceive the dark mark.
"That monster... just appeared for a moment, and then disappeared."
Abai, standing in front of the crowd, said in a low voice: "But I can feel a very terrible aura."
Lin Xian asked: "Is it an abyss worm?"
"No."
Abai shook his head: "More terrible... than that."
Lin Xian and the others' expressions changed upon hearing this. He exchanged glances with Xiang Xiang Ningjing and Shi Diyuan, all guessing something from each other's eyes.
S-level strange entity?
!
"The purpose of the Emperor Project in the Parma Grassland was originally this. It's not surprising that there is one. It's not the first time we've seen an S-level strange entity." Shi Diyuan said in a deep voice: "Anyway, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. I have already notified the Phoenix Society people about this news. Be careful if you should be careful."
Lin Xian was silent for a while. What he was puzzled about was, after an S-level strange entity appeared, why didn't the people on their train have a dark mark?
The Hell Black Chrysanthemum also had no reaction.
But judging from the reactions of Xiang Xiang Ningjing and Shi Diyuan, they seemed to have no doubts about this ability of Abai, which made Lin Xian's heart start to sink.
"Let's go, let's go and negotiate with the Nightwalker organization people first. There are quite a few people going to test their abilities today. I guess it's inevitable to queue up."
Shi Diyuan didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and more than a dozen large cars drove down from the Longshan No. 1 car.
"Let's go too."
Lin Xian's side also drove the previous polar car, and the two groups of people drove toward the direction of Zhongyangdajie in Xilan City.
As they drove into the main urban area, there were more and more fleet camps parked on the streets or camping around some shopping mall squares. Lin Xian's side didn't have many people, following behind the Longshan No. 1 fleet.
Many people looked at Kiki flying on the car with strange eyes. These survivors had already seen flying ability users, but Kiki was the kind who could fly in the sky out of thin air without any wings, looking like a god descending.
The key was that this little girl had purple hair that moved without wind, and she was good-looking, so she quickly attracted a lot of attention, causing many fleets to start discussing.
Because of the large-scale rescue by the 7th Investigation Corps for the entry of Longshan No. 1, Infinite, and the Emperor Action Group into the city last night, these fleets received the attention of almost all the fleets stationed in the city in less than a night. Many fleets speculated about what kind of lineup needed such a scale of Phoenix Society escort, but the Emperor Action Plan was kept secret from the outside, so these points of attention were all concentrated on fleets like Infinite, Longshan No. 1, and Joker.
The entire Xilan City was like a city sealed by ice and snow, with high-rise buildings covered in ice crystals, shining in the sun. Zombies frozen and buried under white snow could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. These monsters obviously no longer posed any threat to humans in the extreme cold vortex.
The fleet moved forward. Perhaps to improve the depression of living on the car for a long time, Lin Xian found that many fleets occupied some buildings as temporary camps, parking their vehicles around, especially some hotels and shopping malls were occupied by various large fleets.
"It seems that the city is indeed relatively safe, allowing these people to live in these buildings." Shu Qin said looking at this scene.
"Ordinary cars are not as spacious as our train. It's really depressing to stay for a long time." Shasha also had a deep understanding of this. Before, she and Dalou lived in a pickup truck. Let alone sleeping, it was difficult to lie down at ordinary times. How could it be like now, having her own bed, and even a sofa and a bathroom?
Chen Sixuan nodded upon hearing this, remembering that when she first learned about Lin Xian's train plan, she didn't understand it at all. Later, she realized that besides Lin Xian's ability, choosing a train as a vehicle was a very wise choice. The only problem was the track.
But now Longshan No. 1 already had a practical solution, and the vision of an iron fortress that could go anywhere was no longer empty talk.
She thought and thought, turned her head to look at Lin Xian, and thought to herself.
Including what he once said about flying into the clouds, perhaps... it's not far away.
The survivors gathered in Xilan City were mainly concentrated in the Zhongyangdajie area, because the original Xilan troop compound here became the station of the Phoenix Society, and these survivors established camps around the temporary command post of the Phoenix Society, so the closer to Zhongyangdajie, the more fleets and camps on both sides of the road, and some large squares and parks were full of cars.
Lin Xian looked at this scene with a heavy gaze: "Although it is said to be huddling together for warmth, it is too dense. If the outer city falls, they will be blocked if they want to run."
"But looking at these people, they don't seem to worry about this problem. It seems that with the Phoenix Society people in Xilan City, the situation in the city is indeed relatively stable." Chen Sixuan said at this time.
The light was bright, the wind and snow stopped, and more and more fleets drove into the Michel Cathedral for ability observation by the Nightwalker organization. Besides the few fleets that entered the city with the Infinite yesterday, there were many strange fleets, not knowing whether they were here to cooperate with the Phoenix Society for testing or to watch the fun.
At this time, the fleet passed a large central square. Hundreds of cars were parked neatly in the square. The outermost ones were all neat and uniform tracked heavy trucks, with 30 of them at a glance, followed by heavy armored vehicles, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, heavy tanks, and even anti-aircraft vehicles, land shield close-in defense gun vehicles, then rows of 9-axle material heavy trucks, and multiple small nuclear-powered energy vehicles.
And in the center of the square, a super-large tracked polar vehicle was parked, larger than the size of the train, looking like a land cruiser!
Besides that, there were various types of modified combat vehicles, off-road vehicles, pickups, etc., lined up for several streets.
The camps in the square were arranged neatly, gathering a large number of survivors, coming and going, inspecting vehicles, assembling supplies, simply like a small city.
This magnificent scale immediately made everyone on the polar vehicle show a shocked expression. If it weren't for the fact that those cars all had a unified tornado paint, everyone would have thought this was the station of the Interstellar Military Investigation Corps.
"Is this the Arctic Wind Alliance?!"
"What kind of car is that, so awesome!" Lv Chang exclaimed.
Kiki was knowledgeable and said directly at this time: "That is the Terex 300, an all-terrain vehicle with its own vehicle-mounted nuclear power. Haven't seen it, right? This thing can even go into the water."
"I've heard their broadcasts on the survivor frequency several times before. It is said that they have more than one fleet, but they are all cooperating with the Phoenix Society in various regions, absorbing various fleets along the way, and the destination is to go to the polar regions after converging with the Dawn Center." Chen Sixuan said at this time.
"More than one?" Shu Qin's gaze swept over: "Just the scale here is estimated to be tens of thousands of people, comparable to a division."
"Most of them are survivors, and they definitely can't compare with the army." Lin Xian said indifferently: "However, after the resources are summarized, the firepower is definitely much stronger than ordinary medium and large fleets."
"It is estimated that there are many fleets here that will join them."
"Normal, people want to find a big tree to lean on. If they don't dare to join the Phoenix Society to sell their lives, choosing to join a large car group is also a good choice. The more they have experienced darkness, the more people want to huddle together."
Fire brother Lu Xingchen lay on the roof of the car sunbathing, listening to everyone's words, and couldn't help but sweep his gaze, grinning and saying.
"Sheltering tens of thousands of people, it seems that the leader of this Arctic Wind Alliance should also be an incredible guy."
The cold wind carried ice crystals and whistled across Zhongyangdajie. With the progress of the fleet, a magnificent cathedral building gradually appeared in the field of vision in the distance. The highest Virgin statue in the back was transformed into a watchtower, and a radar system of the Phoenix Society rotated rapidly. The broken marble skirt of the Virgin statue was covered with ice edges, and the colored windows of Michel Cathedral shone with a faint blue light under the helium lamp. Many pieces of equipment and base vehicles appeared on the outer square. From afar, one could see some kind of large folding transparent curtain wall set up on the square, which seemed to be equipment used to isolate or shield some kind of energy.
There were more and more survivors on the road. Many people were not active near their own camps, but seemed to flock to the cathedral square to watch the fun. Survivors huddled around fire pits of empty oil drums to keep warm could be seen everywhere on the roadside, looking at the fleet passing by with curious eyes.
There were also some fleets driving cars between various camps, transporting various supplies exchanged by trucks and pickups.
Lin Xian observed those various survivor camps. Perhaps because under the protection of the Phoenix Society and the Investigation Corps, he could clearly feel that these people were not as nervous as those he met at Hengshan Pass, and the fleets were relatively friendly to each other.
At this time, the speed of the vehicle slowed down, and there were more people on the street ahead. At least thousands of people gathered on the streets near the cathedral.
The Infinite and the cars on Longshan No. 1 had no choice but to stop the cars, and a group of people changed to walking to go forward.
"Hey, it's really impassable!"
The tall Shi Diyuan wore a fur coat and a bear fur hat, quite like a big boss of a doomsday force. He looked at the mighty crowd ahead and couldn't help but say: "Old Qian, Old Zhou and the others are also close to the water. Looking at this posture, are we not going to queue until the afternoon?"
"So many people?" Xiang Xiang Ningjing frowned: "It shouldn't all be here to test abilities. I guess there are many watching the fun."
Lin Xian's group walked over at this time and said: "There are at least thousands of fleets in this city, and tens of thousands of people gathered here. I think besides watching the fun, there are many who come with purposes."
Kiki hugged her chest: "Hearing you say that, how is it like a talent market."
As soon as this was said, everyone's expressions began to become incomparably wonderful...
"Good guy, if a monster tide breaks out at this time, everyone will be finished!" Shi Diyuan looked at the dense crowd outside the cathedral square and drank.
"That's not necessarily."
At this time, a high-pitched female voice came from far to near. Everyone looked over and found that it was Mo Nika leading a group of people walking quickly toward the crowd here. What was surprising was that her subordinates behind her were all wearing unified Lone Wolf A military-type rapid response power armor, with blue energy lines flickering, giving people a feeling of being arrogant and domineering!
Mo Nika walked over with a smile: "The most powerful ability users and enhancers in the entire Xilan City are basically concentrated in this area. Ordinary monsters can't easily break through here."
"Why are there so many people?"
Lin Xian asked: "Are they all here to test abilities?"
"No, today's people are already considered few, because not many people arrived in Xilan City yesterday, plus the few of you who arrived late at night, there are at most three thousand people, so I estimate that there should only be three or four hundred people coming for testing today."
Mo Nika's gaze swept over the many ability user teams of Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan, and said: "So many people here are actually here to see you."
"See us?" Xiang Xiang Ningjing asked: "What do you mean?"
Mo Nika smiled indifferently: "The 7th Investigation Corps had such a big battle yesterday to escort your fleets into the city, which caused a lot of attention in the city. Many fleets speculated that there might be high-level cooperation targets of the Phoenix Society in these fleets, so as soon as the day dawned, all the fleets gathered around."
"Hey!" Shi Diyuan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this: "I was still saying what fun to watch, it turns out they are watching our fun. Hahaha, this matter is noisy, we have become the focus."
"Then how long will those three or four hundred people take?" Kiki flew up on the spot, looked at the center of the square, and said in surprise: "Is this test very time-consuming?"
Mo Nika saw Kiki's strange flying ability, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and then said.
"Peak detection is okay, it's just that the limit coefficient is a bit more troublesome. If these hundreds of people want to finish testing, it is estimated that it will take three or four hours."
Shi Diyuan said upon hearing this: "Three or four hours, that's okay, it's not considered delaying things."
"Then let's go over quickly, hurry up." Lin Xian said solemnly.
He didn't want to waste time queuing. With this time, he might be able to manufacture a PX-05 robot or even a 1130 close-in defense gun. Besides that, there were many things waiting for him to do, and he didn't want to waste a single second.
Thinking of this, he looked at Mo Nika: "Is your camp far? If the queue is long, I can go and help repair the car first."
Mo Nika was happy in her heart upon hearing Lin Xian's words, but her expression was a bit inexplicable to Lin Xian: "It's not far, but..."
She said, her gaze swept toward the people behind Lin Xian, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.
For Mo Nika, Lin Xian being able to prioritize solving her problems was something she was ten thousand times willing to do. However, what she was curious about at the moment was that she had clearly reminded Lin Xian yesterday that there were many fleets watching in this detection square, and today it was even more spectacular because of the wind last night, and major fleets were all here to watch the fun. At such a time, Lin Xian actually still had the heart to split up and leave to help her repair the car. Didn't Lin Xian fear that the powerful characters in his fleet would be targeted by other fleets and then poached away?
"OK~ After the test is over, I will take you to meet a few leaders of large fleets and see if we can get what we need~" Mo Nika suppressed her doubts and said to everyone.
"Okay, then don't waste time."
Shi Diyuan waved his hand and immediately led people to walk toward the direction of the Cathedral Square.
Mo Nika greeted them and said meaningfully: "Good luck~"
As the crowd moved forward, more and more gazes looked toward this mighty team. Lin Xian looked around, and the high-rise buildings around were also full of people. It seemed that these people regarded the Phoenix Society's ability user test as a doomsday entertainment program, and all kinds of discussions were endless.
On the Cathedral Square, a large number of fully armed Investigation Corps soldiers were maintaining order on the periphery, pulling up warning lines. The Phoenix Society set up multiple inspection entrances. Lin Xian and the others walked over and found that everyone had to register iris, physical signs, and palm prints. A door-type identification robot was scanning and counting.
"Alloy Slug Fleet, Wang Xiang."
【Scanning】
"Scanning successful, original Federation affiliation, Wang Xiang, native of Guicheng, Longguo, citizen number cn113284156802, Phoenix Society information synchronized as Alloy Slug Fleet, Wang Xiang, new survivor number recorded: d19526633."
"Please pass."
The light curtain of the door frame identification robot quickly scanned the information of a man at the front of the team. Soon, his original citizen information was retrieved, and then the information correction was completed, and he was recorded in the Phoenix Society's system.
"In this situation, the Phoenix Society also considered population entry."
Shu Qin said upon seeing this.
"It shouldn't just be population entry. Those who come to test are either ability users or enhancers. They should want to use big data to study the differentiated information of these ability users. It's better than investigating one by one."
"Completely correct."
At this time, a hearty voice came. Everyone only heard a sound of breaking through the air, and then Zhou Wuer and Peng Peng flew down from the high sky.
Lin Xian noticed at this time that Zhou Wuer was brought to fly by Peng Peng. Peng Peng had no wings on her body, but there was a wind vortex stopping under her feet. Her flight seemed to be borrowed from this mode.
"Lin Dui, waited for you all night. It seems you were very busy last night." Zhou Wuer grinned and said.
Lin Xian nodded, but asked with some surprise: "Night, do you also test at night?"
"Considering the safety issue, mainly worrying that a large amount of soul-swaying value fluctuations will cause some unnecessary trouble, generally no testing at night. But you are a special case, we invited you actively, so if you come, testing at night is not impossible~" Zhou Wuer replied.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier..." Kiki hugged her chest: "I fell asleep~"
Lin Xian was also speechless. If he had known, he would have come to get it done last night. With the free time, he could have manufactured a PX-05 robot or even a 1130 close-in defense gun...
