Chapter 283: Two Aircraft (10,000 explosion!)

~34 min read 6,786 words

The night falls, wild thunder explodes.

The fierce battle in Xilan City is intensifying; whether it is outside the city or inside the city, everything has become a piece; streets crushed by snow demons are full of destroyed convoys, burning cars, blood frozen into ice by the cold wind, corpses of snow demons and snow monsters all over the ground, winged demons hanging in high-rise dark alleys, giant ground subsidence pits continuously crawling out strange entities, sharp claws and long feet climbing over various buildings and cars.

Boom, boom!

In the north of the city, outside the east of the city, high-bright huge explosions flash in the sky from time to time, and sonic waves shake the whole city.

From all directions, various electromagnetic cannon beams rush into the sky, and the tracer bullets of the 1130 close-in defense gun sweep out orange flowers all over the sky.

In the city, the large-scale weapons of the Arctic Wind Alliance firmly suppress the demon tide in the area of Chengdong Park, Capital Commercial Plaza, and along the White Feather River; under the leadership of Han Jun, each convoy surrounds a solid defensive formation, with tiered firepower configuration, and close-range and long-range ability users and enhancers are dispersed to go into battle, and the war situation is scorched.

There are many people in the south of the city, and the convoys around Central Avenue are almost all gathered here; they encountered an invasion of the Abyss Worm, causing a large number of casualties; Zhao Yu had to urgently dispatch aerial units to provide cover; under the resistance of the Universe convoy, Warrior convoy, and Chen Xiao of the Torch Alliance, although the situation of panic and scattering was temporarily stabilized, casualties are still continuously increasing.

Above the east of the city, a 30,000-ton Fearless-class aerospace carrier hovers above the low altitude, Lightning 2 aerospace fighters lead countless attack drones and floating wingmen like a swarm of bees, flying out of the cloud layer in a mighty manner, launching large-scale aerial attacks in the sky; the sky is full of dense explosions and arc beams lighting up; because of the continuous spread of the breath of death, more and more people with weak mental endurance begin to mutate under the invasion of the night...

And on Lin Xian's side, after blocking the first wave of avalanche offensive, the train group and the joint convoy breathed a sigh of relief; however, because they had the fewest vehicles here, they faced the monsters surging from the entire Fenglan Mountain, and the pressure did not decrease.

"Lin Xian, a large number of monster tides were found surging out of the mine cave over there!!" Kiki flew over from the air, her face anxious: "There are many, all coming towards us!"

"Prepare for the next wave of barrage, everyone retreat into the convoy, let the train engage the enemy, arc pulse string vibrators ready!" Lin Xian shouted in the communicator upon hearing this.

After continuous fighting, the barrels of machine guns, artillery, and rapid-fire machine guns were all burned red; he must rotate the firepower configuration, and let the ability users, enhancers, and individual weapons cross and go up to hold on for the rest.

Swish, swish, swish!!

More and more monster tides filled the entire mining area; the distant Fenglan Mountain was like a waterfall flowing, and only after looking carefully did I find that it was dense monster groups rushing over!

In the sky, in the mountains, in the underground mine caves, these creatures in the dark were even crazier than during the blizzard front!

The sound of crawling gathered into a dense boiling sound, making people's scalps numb.

Sizzle!

On Longshan No. 1, Abai's laser beam swept across a piece, and in an instant, a large area of monsters in the entire fan-shaped area were shredded and died; as one of the few large-scale ability users in the team, Xiao Qing, Xiang Xiang Ningjing, and others surrounded him to cover him almost without stopping, and those monster tides, including a large number of winged monsters in the sky, seemed to have some kind of consensus, concentrating more attacks towards Abai.

Similarly, Kiki and Brother Huo, one in the sky and one on the ground, faced the sky-covering monster tide sound wave at any time.

Beneath Lu Xingchen's swirling flames, the moment she opened her eyes, she was met with the gaping maws of various ugly snow demons and snow monsters lunging at her, their disgusting, barbed limbs and the green blood they sprayed!

"The more I kill, the stronger my power, don't be rampant!!"

Brother Huo's fighting spirit was surging, urging his whole body's flames to rush out.

"Fire Fist!"

Boom!

The huge fire fist brought a surging flame wave and instantly rushed out a scorched burning path, melting the snow together with a large number of snow demons.

"Hold on for me!" Shi Diyuan roared like a tiger rushing out of a pile of monster tides with a hoarse voice.

"Prepare ammunition!"

"Coming!"

Rumble.

The monster tide like a tsunami surged towards the freight rail station from all directions; at this time, all melee fighters all retreated, and the arc pulse string vibrators on the outer armor of the Longshan No. 1 and the Infinite on both sides began to store energy and start.

Sizzle!

On the side wing armor of the train, scorching white plasma sparks exploded suddenly!

The ultra-high pressure discharge field emitted a harsh tremor that even pierced the air, instantly bombarding all the snow demons that covered the side wings until they were scorched and smoking, and a large number of broken limbs and scorched pieces fell with a clatter.

"Lin Xian, there are also some in the rear."

Chen Sixuan's voice came from the communicator; Lin Xian turned around and looked upon hearing this, only to see that there were also a large number of black shadows surging towards this side from the city direction, and the road surface sent out bursts of tremors.

"Don't be afraid, it should be blockable!"

After saying this, Lin Xian immediately shouted to everyone in the convoy channel: "Shrink defense, weapon clearing, melee personnel only act in the vehicle formation and on the roof of the vehicle, don't go out!"

"Good!"

"Understood!!"

Rat-a-tat!!

On the battle vehicle of the Running Far camp, Li Yi held a rapid-fire machine gun and swept crazily towards the monster tide, and at the same time shouted to Liang Lei in the communicator: "Lei Zi! Listen to Lin Dui, give me back!!!"

"Eh!"

Clang, clang, clang.

Liang Lei, who was covered in countless fire sparks on his body from being stabbed by countless sharp claws and tail stings in the monster tide, didn't care about his torn clothes, roared, blew away a few snow demons, and ran back crazily from the monster tide; while Luo Yang's energy-gathering shooting, Chen Sixuan's Meteor No. 3 sniper rifle, and Lv Chang's rotating sharp blades shot at the same time at this moment, directly blasting the snow monsters chasing behind him to pieces; Dalou reached out directly and grabbed Liang Lei and dragged him onto the roof of the train.

Sizzle!

In an instant, plasma sparks exploded again on the side wing armor of the train, rushing and burning the monster tide chasing from behind!

"Someone is injured!"

Kiki blasted open a shock wave, rescued Li Guangwen and Liao Ming, who couldn't retreat in time, from the monster tide, and sent them to the direction of the train with telekinesis.

Xiao Yuan and a few others were covering with guns; seeing this scene, they hurriedly ran over and caught the two.

Seeing the terrifying external injuries on the two, blood flowing like a river at this time, Xiao Yuan hurriedly arranged: "Quick, send them into the medical cabin!"

"Firepower online!"

Doo!!

Two 1130s roared again; under the violent metal stream, in a short time, they swept the monster tide on the left wing fan-shaped area clean, ushering in a wave of respite.

"Hold on!"

"Kiki, Brother Huo, attack!"

"Coming!"

"The main body is coming too."

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

The entire freight rail station within a range of several kilometers had already become a piece; the ground was burning, apartment buildings collapsed, the blizzard kept howling, accompanied by the hissing sound of the snow demon tide resounding through the sky.

North City.

The firepower here was mainly concentrated outside the high wall; in the city, there were more winged demons dancing, and the firepower lines of dozens of doomsday trains at the rail station shot into the sky, illuminating the dark thunder clouds.

01:30

On the highway along the line outside, the convoy of the research team rushed fast.

"Casualties have begun to expand; the scale of this attack on the city is 100 times that of before; if this continues, falling is only a matter of time!!"

"The strategic support troops have already gone up, the outer city defense line is still holding on, but there are too many monster tides in the city!"

"7 ground subsidence pits have been discovered, the south of the city can't hold on..."

"The defense line on South Avenue has fallen, the people of the Torch Alliance are all retreating!!"

In the carriage, bad news kept coming from the command frequency, making the expressions of a group of researchers incomparably solemn.

Everyone is discussing the plan and feasibility of conducting aerial observation experiments through aircraft.

"Teacher, I know the success rate is very low, but there is no better way now."

While everyone was discussing, Wei Kexue was anxiously talking to Guo Sicheng, who was lying on the hospital bed: "As long as the induction aircraft is arranged, within a feasible distance..."

"Naive! In Professor Ding's research data, no feedback distance has exceeded 500 meters; although there may be discrepancies, how can aircraft precisely control such a close distance to deal with S-level strange entities?"

Guo Sicheng on the other end of the communicator cursed: "Reaction, calculation, capture all need time; the success rate of this risky plan is not more than 5%!"

Drip.

Wei Kexue turned off the communicator, his gaze swept to the colleagues who were urgently discussing; the other command frequency was still adding casualty numbers.

"At least 10 aircraft need to be prepared, and then sampled separately, which can increase the success rate." An old researcher said at this time.

"That's completely enough, we have more than 10 people!"

"But the problem is that there is only one ultra-pure germanium detector; what if it is damaged???" Yu Yuheng frowned and said.

"I have a plan." At this time, Wei Kexue, who had finished talking to Guo Sicheng, walked over with a serious face: "Use the aviation relay control system to operate remotely, let one aircraft carry the ultra-pure germanium detector and the Disaster Plant, and another observation aircraft we set up calculation formulas and reaction modules, simulating human signals; then doesn't that mean no one needs to go up?"

Once these words were spoken, the others were shocked.

"This... can it work?"

"Theoretically, it should be possible."

"It is a safe method; the most important thing is that it can be tested repeatedly, letting the Disaster Plant aircraft stay away; even if the observation aircraft crashes, it can still be repeated."

"Good! Then let's do it!"

Wei Kexue, who was recognized, seemed to have spirit; he immediately contacted Xiao He in front.

"Commander Xiao, immediately head to Xilan Airport, we have a new plan, the medical team can also be arranged there to treat Professor Ding as soon as possible!!"

20 minutes later, the research convoy rushed into Xilan Airport.

"The earthquake wave has not decreased, we cannot stay here for too long!" Xiao He stopped the vehicle and shouted to Wei Kexue and others who got off the rear carriage for the first time.

"Disperse the team, that monster must be aiming for something, it should be the Hell Black Chrysanthemum!"

"Send people to lift the ultra-pure germanium detector down!"

On the empty apron, several people got off the vehicle in the wind and snow; Yu Yuheng immediately said to Xiao He: "Quick, let the medical team come over."

Yu Yuheng carried Ding Junyi down, and a dozen people ran towards a combat center not far away in the cold wind, and even turned back to say to Wei Kexue: "Professor Wei, I have read the paper 'Axion-Mediated Cross-Dimensional Biological Perception' sent by Guo Lao; if it is close range..."

"It's possible!"

Wei Kexue interrupted him in the cold wind: "I just communicated with the teacher, the success rate is not high, but we can try a few more times."

Yu Yuheng opened his mouth and swallowed the words he wanted to say again.

In the howling cold wind, Xiao He and a group of guards of the Investigation Corps followed behind and said to everyone: "I have requested instructions from Commander He, there are only two Tongxing aircraft here, but if we want to conduct aerial detection experiments, there is no escort or cover fleet now, so I must go with you!"

"I'll go too." Night Walker Jing said.

"No need, can't sit so many people."

"Fang Chen!" Jing Tian called a young guy upon hearing this and said to Xiao He: "He is a flight ability user, he can solve problems at critical moments."

"No need for any of them!"

Wei Kexue shouted at the two: "We have already designed a plan just now, no need to arrange for people to go up!"

"Really?"

"Then..."

"First, urgently treat Professor Ding; she seems to have encountered some kind of energy attack from the Disaster Plant, perhaps related to strange entities."

"The medical team is already on standby."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

The biting cold wind howled, and the sound of speaking could hardly be heard.

Xiao He pressed his headset and frowned slightly at this time: "Just received news, Professor Guo and the others are also rushing over."

"The teacher's injuries haven't healed yet, why come here at this time?" Wei Kexue said in surprise.

"I heard you are going to do aerial detection, he insisted on coming." Xiao He sighed and said.

Wei Kexue's face changed slightly upon hearing this, and immediately looked at Yu Yuheng and said: "Team Leader Yu, you carry Professor Ding in first, I will take people to prepare to configure measurement instruments for the aircraft, and tell them to be careful when moving that ultra-pure germanium detector!"

"Good!"

Because the vast majority of the aircraft of the aviation combat formation had already taken off to resist the enemy, the entire airport only had small aircraft carriers like the Tongxing aircraft, which did not possess strong firepower configuration.

At the airport combat center, medical personnel conducted a careful physical examination of Ding Junyi.

"Currently, her brain wave consciousness is very chaotic, but all physical functions are good; we speculate that this may be related to some kind of ability."

In the bright and simple combat hall, the doctor wearing protective clothing said to Xiao He at this time.

"Ability?"

"Yes, there has been such a situation in the Night Walker organization, but it cannot be determined; at least the situation doesn't look bad now, and she should wake up soon."

Xiao He nodded upon hearing this, finally having some good news.

At this time, in the spare aircraft hangar of the airport, Wei Kexue was urgently operating and inputting some kind of operation module and calculation formula with a computer after installing the detector.

"Professor Wei, it's already done, I'll go notify Captain Xiao and the others." A colleague of the research group wiped his sweat and said at this time.

"No, I haven't finished here." Professor Wei's glasses were full of code flashing continuously on the screen, and he said urgently: "You go over first to help me see how Professor Ding is, and also, Guo Lao is coming soon, he is injured now, you go and pick him up."

"Good."

As soon as a few people left, Wei Kexue looked up at the direction where a few people left quickly, then nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took his computer without anyone noticing, and went directly to pull down the boarding ladder of the aircraft and climbed up.

Who knew that as soon as he climbed up, a hoarse voice came from behind.

"When I was in university, I studied mechanical and information science; now I am the technical team leader of the Emperor Group; although old models like the Tongxing aircraft can be controlled automatically, in such a short time, it is impossible to solve the problem of night information relay transmission."

A decadent figure walked out from the dark shadow in the corner.

Yu Yuheng raised his glasses and looked at Wei Kexue and said: "We haven't conducted human signal testing at all; this plan originally had a low success rate, so the best plan is to treat ourselves as experimental subjects and fly up to attract the S-level strange entity to mark us, and then conduct observation."

"But Professor Wei, you ignored a problem; the calculation results of the ultra-pure germanium detector won't come out that fast; even if you die, the results are very likely not to come out."

Wei Kexue stood on the boarding ladder, stunned, looked at Yu Yuheng with a sinking expression, his lips trembling and said: "But I have no better way..."

"Yes."

Yu Yuheng took a computer from a backpack and walked towards another aircraft: "Two sets of calculation modules, facing an S-level strange entity, if someone covers, the grasp will be higher."

"Team Leader Yu!" Wei Kexue's eyes widened.

"Don't say it, let's go; if this thing attracts that bug, there won't be another chance." Yu Yuheng decisively sat on the second Tongxing aircraft, closed the automatic cockpit, and began to start the aircraft master control program.

Wei Kexue's gaze was stunned, he took a long breath, and then sat into the cockpit.

The free wing lights of the two aircraft lit up at the same time.

Hum, hum~

At this time, several heavy military vehicles drove into Xilan Airport and stopped outside the command center; medical personnel and guards helped the injured Guo Sicheng to walk inside together; at the same time, several old researchers also followed together.

Guo Lao's face was anxious, taking two steps in one, and as soon as he walked into the hall, he said: "How could such a method be thought of? The ultra-pure germanium detector mainly relies on the collision of WIMPs with atomic nuclei to generate signals, but to apply this technology to biological samples, especially living cell membranes, requires extremely high sensitivity and resolution, while avoiding damage to biological samples, so it must be detected with living experimental subjects; what remote operation, what human signal, it's just nonsense!?"

"I heard that aerial experiments are going to be done here, Guo Lao insisted on coming." An officer responsible for protection gave a military salute to Xiao He at this time and said helplessly: "Already requested instructions from the Commander."

Xiao He nodded and looked at this group of old men who had rushed over and said: "Guo Lao, what do you mean by what you just said?"

"We have done tests for so long, the most important thing is to check the Dark Mark on the human body; saying it's unmanned testing, isn't this a joke? Wei Kexue, this kid, must have lost his mind." Professor Zhang beside Guo Lao patted the wind and snow and said inexplicably.

"Ah this..."

"Professor Wei, he said, he requested instructions from you, and said you also recognized this plan." A female researcher in the convoy looked at Guo Lao with confusion.

"I support? When did I support it!!? Such an important Disaster Plant and detector, how could unmanned experiments be conducted? Once damaged, how can we face the soldiers on the front line!!" Guo Sicheng was so angry that he immediately scanned: "Where is Wei Kexue, this kid!"

Xiao He's face changed upon hearing this; he is a soldier and doesn't understand these scientific research matters; at this time, seeing Guo Lao's reaction, he felt something was wrong and immediately turned back to look at the research team.

"Professor Wei, Team Leader Yu?"

Night Walker Jing Tian also had suspicion on his face at this time, his gaze searching everywhere.

"Professor Wei is still deploying calculation modules." Several people from the research group walked out of the hangar at this time.

But before the words fell, two surging engine roars sounded not far away; hearing this sound, Xiao He and Jing Tian's faces changed greatly.

Swish, at this time, the young ability user named Fang Chen immediately spread his wings and flew out; not long after, a sound came from the communicator.

"Two Tongxing aircraft have taken off!"

"Not good!!" Xiao He hurriedly pressed the communicator: "Professor Wei!"

"Click, click..."

At this time, Wei Kexue's voice came from the communicator: "Captain Xiao, sorry, the situation is urgent and I couldn't explain it to you well; Team Leader Yu and I have already taken off to capture the target, please take care of Professor Ding and Guo Lao and the others."

"Ah?! The two of them went?"

"This..."

"It's over." Jing Tian's face sank; two scientists with no power to truss a chicken facing an S-level strange entity, he found it hard to imagine what chance of escape they would have.

Guo Sicheng reacted, his face changed greatly, and he immediately roared at the communicator: "Wei Kexue, come back to me, the capture sequence of the ultra-pure germanium detector is very narrow, and the grasp of distance is very high, you like this simply... simply won't work."

"But at least there is 5%, right?"

Wei Kexue's words rang in the communication frequency, and everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

At this time, the command center was incomparably quiet, and only Wei Kexue's voice came from the communication frequency.

"Teacher, I remember when I took your first class in university, you talked about Roentgen's accidental discovery of unknown rays penetrating black paper to make the fluorescent screen glow when studying cathode rays in 1895; humanity discovered X-rays for the first time; this probability is approximately equal to 0.01%; at that time, you very seriously told us that science is like this; even if the probability is extremely small, and even if you don't know if the road ahead is correct, there are still people following one after another; now with a 5% probability, I believe if it were you, you would make the same choice as me."

!

Guo Sicheng opened his mouth, his whole person seemed to be stunned; at this moment, he turned his head to look at the sky outside the command center window like a black curtain, and his steady hands were shaking slightly at this time.

After a long silence, he finally opened his mouth: "This stinky kid, remember... adjust the neutrino signal transmission frequency."

"Understood, teacher." Getting Guo Lao's affirmation, Wei Kexue's voice seemed much brighter.

"Guo Lao..." Professor Zhang on the side looked at him with a complex expression; as a colleague for many years, he saw the determination in the eyes of this old professor who was still yelling and scolding Wei Kexue on the road just now.

Guo Lao raised his hand and turned back to look at the research team: "What are you all stunned for? Young people go to the sky to fight, we old bones can't be idle either; follow up to transmit data, and do a good job of measurement."

"Good!" Everyone responded in unison.

Immediately, he said to Xiao He: "Captain Xiao, please ask someone to move all the instruments here; now we will work here!"

Xiao He's gaze swept over this group of scientists, and infinite noble respect rose in his heart; he immediately turned back and angrily ordered his subordinates: "Everyone act immediately, move experimental equipment, guard the airport passage, don't let a mosquito in for me."

"Yes!"

Boom, boom, boom, dong, dong, dong!!

Above the high skies, the blizzard howled, and two Tongxing aircraft were like two azure meteors, soaring all the way up, rushing towards the high sky.

Through the porthole, Wei Kexue and the two saw the Xilan City full of artillery fire under the night, countless convoys swallowed by monster tides and flames, falling fighter jets, their expressions incomparably cold.

"Professor Wei."

Yu Yuheng was very nervous at this moment, trembling and adjusting his glasses, and said in the intercom: "It's over, only thinking about going to the sky, didn't think in advance, how to find that monster."

"No need to think." Wei Kexue looked up at the storm sky where wild thunder exploded, took a deep breath and said: "We are carrying the Disaster Plant, I think that thing will pay attention to us."

"Hmm, saying so, we only have one chance."

Wei Kexue looked at the Hell Black Chrysanthemum in the cultivation cabin beside him, which was pitch black at this time, without seeing half a light.

At this time, the calculation system had been connected to the light-sensitive detector bound to the Hell Black Chrysanthemum; as long as the Hell Black Chrysanthemum lit up, the ultra-pure germanium detector on the aircraft where Yu Yuheng was located could capture the energy change within nanoseconds, and the particles captured in this change could be obtained through experiments to get the final result.

"Professor Wei, to be honest, there has never been a day when I would fly a plane to find an S-level strange entity." Yu Yuheng couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Actually, there was one before, but that was the group's project, I was just a research personnel following the team."

"Me too..."

Wei Kexue looked at the storm sky outside the porthole and sighed: "Participated in rescue missions before, once saw a giant jellyfish like a mountain, that is the S-level Sky Cloud Mother; I also recognized Lin Dui at that time."

"I've heard of that great relocation, dragging tens of thousands of people to rush into the high sky, hehe, thinking about it is very exciting." Yu Yuheng said.

Wei Kexue's gaze flickered slightly: "That time was also marked with a level 5 mark; although the relocation was successful, the losses were heavy all the way; before reaching the Wei River, the entire group had already been wiped out..."

For a time, Wei Kexue thought of many familiar faces.

"You say, what kind of monster is this one in Xilan City?"

"Jellyfish? Shark? Hahaha, anyway, it's not a good thing..." Wei Kexue said with a smile.

Yu Yuheng also smiled, then restrained his smile, and said in a low voice: "Professor Wei, I'm actually very nervous."

"Me too." Wei Kexue looked at his trembling hands and said in a low voice.

"Someone said before that I am a bookworm; actually, I know what kind of goods I am; I originally wanted to stay in the laboratory and be protected by others; even in the doomsday, I could be safer..."

"It doesn't matter, I think bookworm is not a derogatory term."

"Then you say, if we succeed, will we be heroes in the future."

Wei Kexue looked at the storm sky outside the porthole and sighed: "Maybe... it will be."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Two aircraft flew above the clouds; at this time, they had already moved away from the sound of artillery fire, clouds and mist blocked their eyes, and they couldn't see anything outside the porthole; Wei Kexue and Yu Yuheng could only communicate via radio; at the same time, the aircraft kept trying to contact the ground station, but as the altitude rose, communication had already been interrupted.

The two had increasingly solemn expressions at this time, constantly guarding against changes in the surrounding airspace.

Besides the whistling vibration of the aircraft, the ears were terrifyingly quiet.

Drip.

And at this time, the radar on the two aircraft suddenly flashed, but then disappeared.

This change made the hearts of the two tighten immediately.

"Professor Wei, did you notice?"

"Yes, the radar just lit up."

Drip.

Just when the two were puzzled, the radar lit up again.

This time Wei Kexue specifically paid attention, because he found that it was not a red dot flashing on the radar, but the entire radar turned red for a moment, as if some kind of red transparent thin film covered the radar.

He couldn't help but lean over while holding his glasses.

"What's going on, is the radar malfunctioning?"

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

At this time, all communication systems on the aircraft suddenly transmitted a strong current sound; at the same time, Wei Kexue and Yu Yuheng both suddenly felt that the aircraft seemed to have stopped power for a moment, and suddenly dropped more than a hundred meters in altitude, like a free fall.

"Ah!! What's going on!" Wei Kexue pulled the aircraft fiercely; fortunately, there was no danger, and the flight attitude was stabilized quickly.

And at this time, the aircraft had just fallen out of a cloud layer, and the line of sight became much wider.

Beep, beep, beep, the aircraft issued an alarm.

Just when Wei Kexue lowered his head to check the alarm information issued on the flight instrument, Yu Yuheng's loud shout came from the headset.

"Professor Wei, it's above us!!!"

Boom, boom, boom!

2:15 AM, the fierce battle under the night had lasted for nearly 8 hours; the whole Xilan City was full of fire, the streets were full of snow demons and human corpses, the blizzard under the night curtain was intensifying, and the air was full of the smell of fear and death.

Dong!

Just at this time, above the sky, a sudden thunder sounded; different from ordinary thunder, it was like some kind of huge interstellar explosion, instantly washing away from the storm sky, and the white light of an instant swept across the entire Xilan urban area.

"What happened?!"

"Did it explode in the sky?"

"What weapon is it?"

"Look quickly, those monsters!!"

"What's going on??!"

With the flash of that white light, at this time, all snow demons, snow monsters, and winged demons under the night curtain issued a shrill hiss, and the originally violent tide group began to retreat crazily at this time, the strange entities in the sky flew away, and the monster tide on the ground retreated in large numbers towards the snow layer and ground subsidence pits.

This strange scene caught all the survivors and soldiers of the Investigation Corps who were resisting life and death completely off guard.

On the defense line of the North City wall, He Zhen looked at the monster group that quickly retreated into the darkness like a receding tide; at this time, corpses several meters high had already piled up under the city wall, his pupils solidified, and he immediately picked up the communicator.

"Zhang Chengzhi, arrange two reconnaissance teams immediately to see what's going on."

"Yes."

"I am He Zhen, the monster tide on the north line has all retreated, Old Zhao, your side..."

On the high wall in the east of the city, the sound of the Gatling artillery motor of the mecha regiment rotating slowly stopped, the muzzles of each artillery piece were emitting steaming high-temperature heat, the monster tide in the canyon had all disappeared, Zhao Yu turned his head to look at the sky, and those monsters harassing around the Fearless-class had also disappeared, so he also said in the communication frequency.

"The east of the city has also retreated, Wen Zhuo, how is it in the city."

At this time, above the Michel Cathedral, Wen Zhuo stood in the air, hundreds of giant metal steel frames and armor fragments spinning around him like a storm; on the square were corpses piled like mountains; besides that, hundreds of Night Walkers occupied various places on Central Avenue, some in dark alleys, some in high-rise buildings, some in the center of the street, some in the park, all covered in blood and mud, and had already killed until their eyes were red.

Even Zhou Wuer, Peng Peng, and dozens of other Night Walkers of the courier group stood on a pile of snow demon corpses at this time, looking at the retreating monster tides with inexplicable expressions.

"Supervisor Zhao, all monster tides near Central Avenue have retreated just now, very strange, it may be related to the loud noise just now."

At the same time, Han Jun of the North City Arctic Wind Alliance, Qian Dele of the North City, Qin Xueming, Zhang Tianfang, and Chen Xiao of the South City were all reporting that the monster tide had retreated in the command channel.

On the Chengxi freight container rail platform, the joint train camp was piled with corpses and blood; the entire mining area could not see any white snow, and it was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and scorched corpses everywhere.

Thousands of people were breathing crazily, all looking at the retreating monster tides in disbelief.

"Ran?"

"Did we beat them away?!"

"We won!!"

"God, we survived!!"

"Great."

"Unbelievable..."

For a time, cheers and shouts rose one after another in the convoy.

On Lin Xian's side, Kiki, Brother Huo, Shu Qin, Chen Sixuan, and others rushed over, gathering with Shi Diyuan and Xiang Xiang Ningjing of Longshan No. 1, and Uncle Wu, Luo Yang, Li Yi, and Shen Yao of the joint convoy.

"What's going on?!"

"The west of the city has also retreated." Lin Xian explained the battle situation in the command frequency with the Crimson Phoenix Order.

Shi Diyuan said with a solemn face: "Just received news, not only us, but the monster tides in other places have also retreated."

"Did we beat them back?" Xiang Xiang Ningjing frowned and asked.

"Not clear." Lin Xian panted heavily, his gaze sweeping across the embarrassed battlefield: "Something must have happened."

"Quick, clean up the battlefield first!"

It is still night now; no matter what the situation is, as long as a respite is gained, Lin Xian's first reaction is to prepare ammunition and prevent possible attacks again.

The suddenly stopped offensive caught everyone in the city off guard.

30 minutes later, just when Lin Xian was performing ammunition manufacturing replenishment, a voice suddenly came from the communicator.

"Lin Dui, Shi Dui, I am Xiao He of the 7th Investigation Corps; currently we are rushing to Fenglan Mountain, the research group's aircraft crashed, the location is not yet accurate, can you send people to follow up and search together."

"Aircraft crashed?" Lin Xian frowned; at this time, Ding Junyi's voice suddenly sounded.

"Lin Xian, Wei Kexue and Yu Yuheng drove an aircraft to close-range contact with an S-level strange entity, the flight signal has disappeared; I sensed the approximate orientation through the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, I will send the orientation to you, we will be there immediately!"

Lin Xian's expression sank upon hearing this; contact an S-level strange entity?

He vaguely felt that it was not good, so he immediately called Shi Diyuan: "Brother Shi, something happened on the mountain, I'll go first, leave it to you here."

"What's the matter?" Shi Diyuan was inexplicable, but saw Lin Xian had already called Kiki, and the two flew towards the direction of Fenglan Mountain.

Hum~

At this time, several aircraft were flying quickly towards this side from Xilan Airport; Ding Junyi, who was sitting on the aircraft, had a pale face, and there was a cold and deep sense of fear in the depths of her eyes; this completely transcended her own indifference to death; at this time, her chest was rising and falling, trying to keep her brain clear and logical.

Xiao He, who was looking at her face, said in a deep voice: "Professor Ding, are you sure it's this direction? The aircraft signal disappeared as if it were in the east."

"It's this side."

Ding Junyi did not explain too much; at this time, the Night Walker group also followed.

Xiao He nodded, without too many questions, and arranged in a low voice in the communicator: "Search according to the terrain analysis given by Director Ding, it should be in the direction of the northwest slope of Fenglan Mountain, pay attention to capturing the distress signal."

In the night, the information transmission distance of the aircraft is less than three kilometers; the communication of the whole city basically relies on the relay signal system deployed by the Phoenix Society to communicate, but the west of the city is sparsely populated, and the coverage near Fenglan Mountain is very small; it can only capture the orientation of Wei Kexue and Yu Yuheng through the method of scattered circling search.

On the other side, Lin Xian and Kiki had already flown up Fenglan Mountain; this mountain range of more than 2,000 meters had steep rocks, black peaks towering into the clouds, and a large amount of snow on the hillside had collapsed and slid along with the previous demon tide, becoming bare.

Crossing a mountain pass and coming to the northwest side of Fenglan Mountain, the cold wind howled here, several deep canyons were bottomless in the night, and looking out in the blizzard of the night, there was only a blurred outline.

"What exactly happened, how could Wei Kexue and the others crash here?" Kiki supported a telekinetic shield to help the two block the cold wind, and asked while flying.

Lin Xian shook his head: "Don't know, but I suspect that this may be related to the retreat of the monster tide."

Kiki looked at Lin Xian with a surprised face and didn't speak, and both of them were searching carefully.

At this time

"Over there!"

Without a word, the two of them immediately flew over.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Approaching from the air, the wind speed between the mountain valleys grew increasingly intense, howling like the roar of a giant beast. As the two drew closer, they finally saw that it was actually an aircraft that had crashed onto a mountain slope platform. Its engine was burning with a raging fire, and its wings were broken in the snow layer between the peaks, leaving behind a crash slide over a hundred meters long.

"Found it, send the signal."

"Mm!" Kiki nodded, and with a surge of telekinetic power from her hands, she immediately sent the signal pillar that Lin Xian had crafted up into the clouds.

Lin Xian and Kiki flew over immediately, only to discover a figure frantically digging at the white snow on the ground, continuously throwing it onto the aircraft, seemingly attempting to extinguish the fire.

Upon closer inspection, that person was actually Yu Yuheng.

"Team Leader Yu!!"

Yu Yuheng, who was busy frantically clawing at the snow on the ground, thought he had misheard at this moment. He turned his head back abruptly, just in time to see Lin Xian and Kiki flying over from a distance. His gaze shook, he stopped the movements of his hands, and he stood there with his mouth agape, unable to speak for a long while.

"Kiki, put out the fire!!"

Hum!

Kiki unleashed a wave of telekinetic energy, instantly extinguishing the flames burning on the aircraft, leaving only endless black smoke billowing out.

"Team Leader Lin!" Yu Yuheng finally managed to speak, scrambling toward Lin Xian, pointing at the aircraft behind him and saying,

"Quick, help me get the ultra-pure germanium detector down. We found it, we found it, we found the Dark Mark!"

At this moment, Yu Yuheng's face was covered in blood, his lips were cracked from the cold, and his face was filled with urgency and hysteria. Not knowing if it was out of anxiety or fear, he shouted at the two of them,

"It was that monster that triggered the monster tide, and it was also that monster that emitted the Level 5 mark. We all guessed wrong—no, no, no, Professor Wei, Professor Ding, we all guessed right..."

"It is waiting, it is observing, it is guiding the way. It will not reveal itself voluntarily, because it is a..."

"Scout!"

Rumble!!

Above Mount Fengluan, a polar vortex swirled and gathered, wild thunder cracked, and the storm canopy flickered in and out of existence, like a devouring giant beast from the cosmos.

Upon hearing this, both Lin Xian and Kiki felt a chill run through their entire bodies.

In the pitch-black mountain valley, the howling of the blizzard sounded like a dirge whispered from hell!
