Chapter 352: Flickering Bullet

Silver bullet?

Lin Xian was a bit surprised to hear Mochizuki Zhensi's words, but he saw the opponent's expression and guessed that this thing might be related to Silent City, so he admitted directly: "This thing is yours?"

"It can be said so, but I don't have any special interest in this kind of thing, I just want to use these things to see through the truth of darkness."

He said, looking at Lin Xian with indifferent eyes, as if telling him not to be nervous.

"Do you know the characteristics and containment conditions of this thing?"

Click.

Lin Xian took out the metal box from the device behind the power armor and shook his head: "Not very clear."

Mochizuki Zhensi put his hands into his sleeves and said: "It's very simple. Whoever gets it will contain it. Of course, I mean getting it by hand."

"But its characteristics are very interesting." Mochizuki Zhensi raised his hand. At this time, a drone flew over in the sky and slowly extended its mechanical arm to place a shell with a primer and propellant but no bullet head in his palm, then handed it to Lin Xian and said: "It should be very easy for you to manufacture this. As long as the holder fires the bullet, they can transfer to the spatial position where the bullet is at any time. Tsk tsk, isn't it very powerful? We call this thing 【Flickering Bullet】?"

Hearing this, Lin Xian's expression was shocked: "Spatial transfer?"

"Only limited to the darkness," Mochizuki Zhensi added.

Instantly, Lin Xian felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping in his heart. That silver bullet actually possessed the ability of spatial movement!

Mochizuki Zhensi saw Lin Xian's surprised expression and didn't seem surprised. He said indifferently: "The previous container of this forbidden object was a captain of my mobile team, named Ye Yi, 22 years old. Although his personality was a bit willful, he was a good child."

"He died?" Lin Xian asked when he heard Mochizuki Zhensi's tone.

"On the night we were swept into the Star Abyss."

Mochizuki Zhensi looked at Lin Xian, as if telling a story: "He proposed a plan as bold as yours."

"He wanted to observe the Lionfish Colossus before we were swallowed by the Star Abyss, and use the shuttle ability of the silver bullet in the night to transfer the colossus..."

Hearing this, Lin Xian's eyes flickered. This plan was indeed bold.

"And then?"

"The distance is not enough," Mochizuki Zhensi said: "He took the colossus away, but the limit of the 12.7 bullet that can be shot through flame kinetic energy is only 8 kilometers. It seems very far, but it is far from enough for us to face the Star Abyss tide in the night."

In the night?

Lin Xian felt a chill in his heart. They were swallowed by the Star Abyss tide before it was dark. That scene looked even more horrific.

Hearing Mochizuki Zhensi's words, he frowned and suddenly said: "Why must it be fired with bullet propellant?"

"If it's just to fire it out, electromagnetic force can be used to increase the range."

Mochizuki Zhensi didn't seem surprised when he heard this, and smiled: "Look, this is the problem that creativity can't keep up with imagination."

After speaking, a drone flew over and placed a strange-looking firearm on a platform that rose from the ground. This firearm looked like some kind of arc pulse gun, black and white, with no meltable electric core, but a separate automatic magazine compartment.

"This is a kind of electromagnetic sniper rifle I developed. Although it is limited by energy density and cannot compare to the electromagnetic railgun that fires rubidium magnetic projectiles, the initial firing speed can reach 4000m/s, and the range easily exceeds 50km. If you use a parabolic trajectory, it can be even further."

Hearing this, Lin Xian used mechanical scanning and found that the gun was designed precisely, and its special design was not prepared for spherical projectiles.

Such a high kinetic energy speed, the ordinary 12.7 alloy bullet head could not withstand it and would melt and disintegrate directly.

Clearly, this gun was specifically tailored for that 12.7 forbidden object bullet head.

Mochizuki Zhensi walked to the electromagnetic sniper rifle, his expression a bit regretful: "This was designed for Ye Yi, but... um, it was a bit late..."

After speaking, he turned to look at Lin Xian: "Before we were swept into the Star Abyss, that Boss Hu found our Silent City, exchanged some items with some information, and followed us all the way."

Lin Xian nodded: "Do you know that he gave this bullet to me, and wants me to return it to you?"

"No."

Mochizuki Zhensi said indifferently: "I said just now that besides research, I don't have any interest in this kind of item. The reason I don't like that businessman surnamed Hu is because he likes to lie, but I am also very grateful that he saved Ye Yi. Although he didn't survive in the end, at least he wasn't buried in this darkness. That child doesn't like the night."

Hearing this, Lin Xian understood: "So this is the reason you saved Hu Lushou and the others?"

"Yes," Mochizuki Zhensi said seriously: "The interesting thing is that I saved them, and then I learned about your situation. Also because of this person, the conflict between us didn't escalate. Since this bullet has reached your hands, then this electromagnetic sniper rifle will be a gift for our first meeting."

Lin Xian was a bit surprised. Before he could speak, Mochizuki Zhensi waved his hand.

"Don't doubt it. If you don't want it, you can return it to me. Forbidden objects often come with unknown risks and disasters while providing specific functions. I treat all uncontrollable power rationally."

"So..." Mochizuki Zhensi looked at Lin Xian: "Tell me about your magnetic levitation leap plan."

He had a three-point smile, and the nano-mechanical pupils had thousands of stars in them, as if everything in the world could be used by him, but he never seemed arrogant. The only regretful tone he heard was the passing of the partner named Ye Yi, not others.

Lin Xian felt touched and had a few more good feelings for this Silent City Lord. He was not pretentious either, and openly stated the current situation of the joint train and the plan through the superconducting magnetic anchor array device.

He sat opposite Mochizuki Zhensi at the tea table. Mochizuki Zhensi listened very carefully. After Lin Xian finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, then said:

"To complete such a plan, you need to be able to manipulate the subsystems of Silent City, complete the launch of the array device without energy supply, and also design and manufacture external distributed wire coil support columns for irregular vehicles like trains that don't have flight launch shapes, and also need to coordinate the energy system, connection construction, connection devices..."

He said a lot of professional terms in one breath, then looked at Lin Xian and said: "Do you know how many engineers, construction agencies, accessory material supply factories, and survey calculation and execution computing power are needed to complete such a plan that seems simple to you by modern industry?"

Lin Xian did not speak. Mochizuki Zhensi smiled: "I've gone too far. So your psychic has the ability to scan mechanical blueprints, generate materials to complete mechanical manufacturing, and control machines and provide driving energy, right?"

"Almost." Lin Xian did not describe his psychic in detail, but he knew that with a character like Mochizuki Zhensi, it was not complicated to deduce that he possessed these psychic characteristics.

Mochizuki Zhensi nodded: "Then I highly approve of your plan, not only the magnetic levitation leap plan, but also your doomsday train plan. It is indeed very suitable for you. The sky risk is too great, and the car platform is too small. If your psychic develops, creating a mechanical floating city, manufacturing billions of drone swarms and robot armies is just around the corner. Maybe this will be one of the solutions to the Star Abyss doomsday..."

Lin Xian looked at his watch, planning the time silently, and asked Mochizuki Zhensi the last question:

"I have a question. How did you know the characteristics of the colossus immediately when you encountered it? Is there any public research data on this thing?"

Hearing this, Mochizuki Zhensi smiled: "There is none. The organization that researches forbidden objects and disaster plants the most currently is an organization called Divine Revelation. This organization is currently in a cooperative relationship with the Deep Red World."

"How do you know?" Lin Xian asked.

"I know more than just these..." Mochizuki Zhensi raised his head and pointed. At this time, the holographic projection in the air showed a photo of a man. The man looked thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, with an ordinary appearance and a thin face, only that pair of eyes looked bright.

"Shen Tuo, leader of Divine Revelation. His original identity was an ordinary manager of the Longguo National Museum. After the Apocalypse Day, he obtained some kind of psychic and forbidden object. Later, for some reason, he joined forces with Chen Yanxiu, the former Minister of the Angel Project Special Item Research Department, to establish the descent-type organization Divine Revelation, which fanatically worships psychic and forbidden object power. This organization has few people and is very low-key. Compared with the Deep Red World, they are considered peaceful, but they are not good people either. According to my guess, the reason they cooperate with the Deep Red World is probably for 'technical guidance' and 'item exchange'."

"Divine Revelation provides research and containment methods for forbidden objects to the Deep Red World, and the Deep Red World gives the disaster plants and forbidden objects found in the Star Abyss to them?" Lin Xian frowned.

"It's almost like this," Mochizuki Zhensi put his hands into his sleeves: "Nothing more than a group of conspirators. They only started these tricks after having psychic power. As for how I know..." Mochizuki Zhensi looked at Lin Xian with bright eyes:

"When you can control billions of drones and over-ten-thousand quantum volume computing power, these are all small problems for you."

Lin Xian was surprised: "Do you want me to become a mechanical life?"

"No."

Mochizuki Zhensi shrugged and said to Lin Xian with great interest: "It's not that I want to, it's that you want to."

The expression on Lin Xian's face solidified slowly. He subconsciously froze for a moment, and suddenly realized that the last time he had this feeling was when he was driving to the Black Rose Bar in Akse. Lin Xian manipulated the vision of several robots, which made it difficult for him to adapt and made him want to vomit.

At that time, he was thinking, if there were billions of drones, it would definitely not be possible to complete the manipulation through the human brain's thinking threads and visual system...

Buzz!

Accompanied by a strange spatial lag, a strong gloomy coldness completely ignored the mountain body of hundreds of meters and the main structure of the underground fortress and swept everyone instantly.

Lin Xian, sitting in the main control room, only felt a chill all over his body. That extremely uncomfortable feeling struck again.

Mochizuki Zhensi raised his eyes slightly and said: "The tide has begun."

Lin Xian stood up immediately: "Before the plan to intercept the transport ship begins, I need to build the connection device for the Baicheng orbital station."

"I have a better plan for this."

Mochizuki Zhensi pointed his finger, and a mechanical arm device with a coil appeared in the air: "Compared to self-precision control, it is safer to leave it to the program. This is a magnetic control energy deceleration array. If you can manufacture this in a short time, the safety factor will be higher than a hard landing."

Lin Xian's eyes lit up when he saw it. He was worried about this problem. The initial assumption was to build an orbital buffer ramp and then rely on Kiki to adjust in the air, which looked like performing acrobatics, but it was a helpless move.

If there was this thing, the success rate could be greatly improved.

Leaving the underground main control room, Qian Qian Qian Suxun brought Lin Xian's team to the hall upstairs. Before setting off, the girl named Star Wild Shizhi re-cleansed everyone of the power of dark invasion. Lin Xian noticed that the battle armor on this girl was very special, not only with a high level of intelligence but also with a high level of protection. It seems that this girl has a very high status among the core backbone of Silent City.

There were still more than ten minutes before the inner tide ended. At this time, Xiang Xiang Ningjing and Chen Sixuan had already synchronized the situation and plan here to the joint train side. Shi Diyuan didn't expect that they would join forces with Silent City, but for the joint train, this was undoubtedly good news. With the help of Silent City, the chance of everyone escaping the Star Abyss could also be improved a lot.

"I just learned about it in detail with Qian Qian Qian Suxun. It seems that the red human anomaly is not so easy to deal with."

The exploration team conducted a simple internal discussion before setting off. Xiang Xiang Ningjing synchronized the information obtained just now with Lin Xian: "They have intercepted the transport ship several times. The main dangers are two: the anomalies hidden in the city, and the red human anomaly."

"The transport team to the outside will be divided into multiple batches. Once there is a problem, the Deep Red World may trigger a clearing program, causing the anomalies in the city to riot."

Hearing this, Lin Xian frowned slightly: "I have been thinking about what means they use. Logically speaking, replicators cannot carry dark marks."

Chen Sixuan shook her head: "Qian Qian Qian Suxun doesn't know this either. So they have several underground shelters in Baicheng that have been cleared, which are used for emergency hiding to prevent this situation. They have synchronized these positions to us."

"Lin Xian, what is this? A gun?"

Kiki on the side saw Lin Xian holding a black and white big gun and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xian took it and looked at it with a complex expression, saying: "A gift from Mochizuki Zhensi, it counts as a handheld electromagnetic cannon." After speaking, he put the electromagnetic sniper rifle into the fixed clip behind his armor.

After learning about the characteristics of the silver bullet head, Lin Xian did not contain it directly. Whether it was Chu Yan or Mochizuki Zhensi, they were wary of the existence of forbidden objects, and Lin Xian was naturally the same.

The Heterostructure Cube was once the 1542 anomalous radio station that almost wiped out the Infinite, and the mental load pressure of Fire Brother's Infinite Ring on him also increased significantly after entering the Star Abyss. And he was about to solve a big trouble with Silent City, so he kept it on his body first. It might be used as a trump card at a critical moment.

"Lin."

At this moment, Qian Qian Qian Suxun walked over: "You'd better set off at the next tide fall to build the connection device at the orbital station. Hurry up. We will divide into three groups. Qian Qian Qian Suxun and Ning from Longshan No. 1 will lead the team to squat at the central square and the Baicheng hospital north and south respectively. While monitoring the transport ship, we can also cover you."

Lin Xian said without hesitation: "4 hours should be enough, but because of the influence of the inner tide, the time will definitely exceed 6 hours."

"That's no problem. You don't have to cut the time too tight. The key is not to disturb the anomalies, otherwise it will be troublesome," Qian Qian Qian Suxun said.

Lin Xian nodded and said directly to Kiki, Chen Sixuan, and Fire Brother: "The team members of the Infinite will follow me, cover me. Sister Ning, you and Qian Dele, Mo Nika, Xiaoqing, and Abai will be a separate team."

"Wait."

Qian Qian Qian Suxun interrupted Lin Xian at this moment. He signaled, and at this time, the girl named Shizhi walked out timidly from the Silent City team.

"This operation is centered on you, so Zhensi ordered Shizhi to assist you."

Hearing this, Chen Sixuan and the others were a bit surprised. This Silent City was too generous, sending such a core figure to assist Lin Xian alone.

Qian Qian Qian Suxun saw the eyes of the crowd and smiled faintly, saying to Lin Xian: "Miss Ning's team has a dark sensor, and my side is mainly based on mechas, so you should need a team member who can provide dark shielding and support for you."

Hearing this, Lin Xian immediately understood Mochizuki Zhensi's intention and nodded to the girl named Shizhi:

"Then thank you for your hard work."

"No... you're welcome, I will work hard." Shizhi didn't look old, and she spoke timidly, but her eyes were full of firmness. She had experienced many fierce battles with Long Zhijie and others, and danger didn't seem to be much pressure compared to talking to strangers.

"Everyone."

"Prepare to set off. This operation is centered on Lin. Xun, only after Lin is ready, you use EMP to isolate the transport ship path. Make a quick decision."

At this moment, Mochizuki Zhensi's leisurely voice sounded in everyone's communicator. At the same time, an incomparably clear holographic map of Baicheng appeared in everyone's power armor interface.

This map not only marked a large number of anomaly danger areas, real-time images, and sentry systems through monitoring and radar, but also included inner tide time monitoring and the positioning of all safe shelters in the city.

In an instant, a powerful atmosphere of full-information combat shocked the entire exploration team. It could only be described in one word: professional!

Lin Xian's eyes were fiery. After contacting Mochizuki Zhensi, he had broader ideas for the development of his mechanical psychic.

First of all, the huge drone construction system and information system, he could completely manufacture them and use Grace's intelligent brain as the main control, and then strengthen the construction ability of the Infinite. Automation construction could completely accelerate the leap of Lin Xian's goal of soaring.

"Understood." Looking at the countdown on the screen, Qian Qian Qian Suxun clicked on the nano-soft armor on his body. This time, he brought three heavy intelligent control mechas and one ACS light guard mecha, together with Long Zhijie and Tianye Lan, directly responsible for the monitoring of the central square nest area.

"Let's go."

After preparing, the group arrived at the passage entrance of the underground fortress and waited for the tide to fall.

And on Lin Xian's side, Shizhi had already cast her psychic, and a green light swept over everyone, completing the final 'cleaning' before departure.

12:04

In the darkness of Baicheng, twisting black fog filled all the streets. The huge 【Nest】 in the central square frantically stitched together various anomalies. Hundreds of thousands of human corpses stood on the street, connected by black ground blood vessels. They seemed to be alive, and they seemed to have rotted. Those blood vessels constantly absorbed the flesh and blood information of these corpses and collided in the nest, like a violent biochemical warrior running a self-programmed out-of-control machine, spreading and infecting.

Countless anomalies roared frantically and drilled into the streets in all directions, like biochemical warriors who rushed to the battlefields in all directions for looting and slaughter as soon as they were produced, spreading and infecting.

Tide fall, the violent nest, the surging anomalies, hundreds of thousands of standing corpses, and black ground blood vessels slowly disappeared.

The originally noisy and roaring Baicheng fell silent again for a time, leaving only the eerie whispers in the depths of the darkness and the crawling and pacing sounds that could not be described in the dark.

At this moment, in a dilapidated room of a high-rise apartment building, the steel door temporarily manufactured by Lin Xian was torn open by a claw. The metal made a whimpering sound and fell down. A huge figure wearing strange windbreaker stood at the door eerily, motionless.

Gazing into the darkness.
