Though Silent City had deployed detection devices across many parts of the city, their range was severely limited. To avoid sudden encounters with strange entities, Lin Xian chose to sprint along rooftops—fast, and generally free of monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drawback was that their group was highly exposed, forcing them to move faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Unknown lifeform detected ahead at high elevation!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Xian and the others leapt onto a low building, Grace suddenly transmitted a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group halted. Lin Xian opened Baicheng’s map and adjusted their route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian gave the order and immediately activated his power armor, leaping into an underground parking garage. According to the path plan, a tunnel beneath led directly across two streets into an underground pedestrian walkway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a mountain city, Baicheng was riddled with such complex tunnels—underground passages connecting parking garages, overpasses weaving through apartment rooftops—all commonplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, the densely packed, grotesque forest of buildings now felt especially oppressive in its deathly silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grace leapt from above, swiftly catching up to Lin Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All their power armor’s electro-optical systems were active, casting a sickly white glow through the underground garage. Dust filled the air; only the metallic roar of armored boots echoed around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki activated a psychic barrier mid-flight, extra cautious in this enclosed space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Ge kept a ball of flame coiled in his palm—both for vigilance and to drive back the chilling cold with its heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chen Sixuan suddenly stopped, raising her rifle toward the deep shadows to the right-front of the garage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something’s coming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I felt it too,” Shi Zhi reacted instantly, stepping back behind the group and activating her ability to link everyone together. Instantly, the others felt a cold, dark reagent surge up from their soles—Shi Zhi’s ability could temporarily repel the darkness’s intrusion and enhance psychics’ mental strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Long Zhijie and Lu Tianye had held their ground against Lin Xian’s team of experts on the square earlier—he now understood the value of this peculiar ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had no time to dwell on it. Hearing Chen Sixuan’s warning, he immediately commanded twenty-five Lei Sun drones to rotate forward for reconnaissance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grace, cover!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Understood】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Grace charged ahead—but then Chen Sixuan’s expression changed as if she’d heard something. She spun her rifle left and fired into the darkness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click-click-click—the rapid crawling sound erupted only after the shot. Lin Xian turned, his white electro-optic light sweeping the corner. There, a massive, humanoid monster emerged, its grotesque pointed mouth emitting a hum. Instantly, black mist blasted outward in all directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Retreat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian knew Chen Sixuan’s shot had hit, but the monster’s full form remained obscured. Its piercing shriek, like the red-lamp-headed entity they’d encountered before, caused everyone’s vision to flicker violently—bloody, horrific images flashed before their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear Invasion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve been marked!” Shi Zhi’s voice came next. Silent City possessed advanced Soul-Detachment detectors capable of precisely scanning for markers on the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shrill hum rose in pitch, echoing through the basement, lifting dust from the ground in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, Lin Xian and Huo Ge struck first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire Fist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive fireball, combined with Lin Xian’s drone pulse beams, instantly illuminated the entire garage. Flames and explosions swallowed the unknown monster, shattering load-bearing columns and ventilation ducts alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant, a crash came from Grace’s direction—a spherical object resembling a human head rolled across the floor and stopped at Lin Xian’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the light, Grace gripped a grotesque human head sprouting spider legs, flying backward before executing a flawless backflip to land. She smashed the head—still crawling with legs—into the ground, then transmitted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Caution: Human-Deviant approaching!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—the wall beside Grace exploded. A powerful shockwave shattered several pillars. Kiki swept her psychic force, clearing all concrete debris and dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the wall stood a butcher-like humanoid creature—a bloated “Human-Deviant” wearing a gas mask and tattered gear, its skin mutated to a greenish-blue hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan acted instantly, firing one shot—the butcher’s skull exploded on one side. Yet strangely, though half his head was gone, the Human-Deviant showed no reaction. Suddenly, scales erupted across his body—actually countless tiny armored beetles. These insectoid scales buzzed around him, then greenish fluid began oozing from his skin as he lunged toward the squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t let it get close—it’ll explode!” Shi Zhi shouted immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not a chance!” Kiki clenched her fist—a powerful psychic vortex of dust and debris surged toward the butcher. Lu Xingchen, having just destroyed the pointed-mouth monster, turned and blasted fire into Kiki’s wind column. Instantly, a jet of flame scorched the garage’s pillars, floor, and ceiling red-hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled explosion followed, spewing thick emerald-green sludge in all directions—but the front was deflected by Kiki’s wind column. Then, several more grotesque Human-Deviants burst from the darkness. Lin Xian recognized them—not zombies or strange entities, but evolved humans mutated after being consumed by the Star Abyss, judging by their clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, the entire garage was choked with black smoke and green mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shrieking monster, struck by Lin Xian and Huo Ge, rapidly retreated into the darkness behind them. Its eerie cry resembled a child’s sobbing. Lin Xian watched the flickering marker detector, gritted his teeth, and surged forward—while Grace and Kiki held off the Human-Deviants, he moved to eliminate the entity capable of marking them, not the Human-Deviants themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shh-shh-shh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drones darted nimbly through the garage, crimson pulse arcs never ceasing. In the spotlight, Lin Xian glimpsed a creature over ten meters long, shrinking backward until it reached an elevator shaft—its body seemed fused to the structure, the pointed mouth merely its protruding head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Xian didn’t hesitate. He opened his armor’s palm cannons and launched six shoulder-mounted needle missiles simultaneously, combined with drone strikes, directly hitting the entity’s core attached to the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After relentless bombardment, the snake-like body began severing from its base, its shriek intensifying. Huo Ge, now free, flew in, crossing twin fire streams to slice the creature into segments. Kiki, having dealt with the Human-Deviants, turned and crushed the shrieker’s head with psychic force—the scream cut off abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ughhh!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark markers on Lin Xian and the others vanished—but the brief, violent battle had drawn attention. Sounds erupted from afar, from upper floors, from exits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian didn’t hesitate. After eliminating the monster, the garage was nearly filled with black mist—this fear-force was toxic. He couldn’t stay. He ordered everyone forward along the planned route, while simultaneously generating and launching high-energy explosives via rotary drones from his hands, planting them on load-bearing columns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve definitely disturbed something big,” Chen Sixuan said, clad in Black Hawk armor, holding Meteor-3. Beyond combat windows, her senses had evolved to extreme sensitivity. Though she couldn’t perceive darkness like Bai or Shi Zhi, she could detect monster movements in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian ran while watching the detector’s readings, his voice sharp: “Ignore it. I’m taking the underground route. As long as we’re unmarked, don’t engage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether above or below, the path to the rail station was rarely traversed by Silent City personnel. Lin Xian expected strange entities—but underground had advantages: it contained the battle’s scale. If they removed their markers, they could enter the darkness silently, like the entities. Aboveground, Huo Ge and Kiki’s actions would be far too conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click-click…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering underground, communication was severely disrupted. Lin Xian lost contact with the other two teams. He led his squad forward rapidly. After exiting the parking garage and entering a dilapidated building, a wire gate appeared ahead. Lin Xian activated mechanical assimilation—within moments, the gate vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed to climb upward through the building to reach a platform above, then enter the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, ahead!” Chen Sixuan and Shi Zhi spoke simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As lights flickered, a twisted entity suddenly emerged from the broken staircase—startled by the squad’s illumination. The moment it opened its mouth, dozens of Lin Xian’s drones rotated and fired pulse beams, disintegrating its upper body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“C-class strange entity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian glanced at the burning half-body, said nothing, and sprinted upward. With their current strength, defeating a C-class entity was easy—but the danger was being marked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Star Abyss darkness, even a single mark could expose the entire squad to surrounding entities, just as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We… lost contact with the fortress,” Shi Zhi whispered as she ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll get it back soon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh… huuuh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian steadied his breathing. Protected by the Black Hawk armor, his mobility and defense were greatly enhanced. Beyond the pressure of darkness, he focused solely on the marker detector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a dark, ruined street, a gate burst open. Several figures in power armor, accompanied by numerous flying drones, stormed into the street. Through underground passages, they’d crossed three streets—now less than a kilometer from Baicheng Rail Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Follow me】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grace’s calm voice came through, transmitting path data, guiding Lin Xian’s group through alleys and streets until they reached Baicheng Rail Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian stood atop the clock tower, looking down. The vehicles left behind after Hu Lushou’s earlier battle still lay scattered across the station square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan raised her rifle to scout, then said: “Lin Xian, there’s definitely something inside. I can hear movement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian created a signal repeater and mounted it atop the clock tower. After boosting transmission, he finally connected to Silent City’s network of ground-based signal stations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin, I see you’ve reached the rail station. Looks smooth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So far, no major trouble,” Lin Xian replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the underground command center of Baicheng’s nuclear bunker, Wang Yue Zhenji, clad in plain robes, watched the holographic screen displaying the three teams’ positions—yet he commanded them all using different voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Xiang Ningjing, Baicheng Hospital, Level B1 morgue likely harbors strange entities. Xun’s team encountered them before but didn’t fully clear them. Watch that area.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xun, place detonators at points A and B on the north side of the central square, and on the east side of Minsheng Building… deploy EMP drones and missiles at the commercial center and the TV tower…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Lin Xian’s side, he now constructed infrared sentry sensors and mounted them atop the clock tower. He turned to Chen Sixuan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Laoshi, hold this position. If anything happens, move toward me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan nodded, slid down the sloped roof of the clock tower, crouched at the building’s corner, and surveyed the entire Baicheng Rail Station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kiki, Huo Ge—you go up. We go down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had the words left his lips than Kiki and Lu Xingchen leapt upward. Lin Xian, guided by Grace, and Shi Zhi jumped from the clock tower, preparing to cross the main plaza directly to the rear rail section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Xian sprinted, he assimilated a nearby SUV. Meanwhile, Kiki and Huo Ge flew to the rear rail station—before even landing, their marker detectors suddenly blared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instantly paled, scanning with Lu Xingchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, Sister Chen…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t see it—the sound’s coming from inside the passenger terminal!” Chen Sixuan’s voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lin Xian and Shi Zhi had already entered the passenger terminal—and no dark markers appeared on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Split up!” Lin Xian said immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Lin Xian finished speaking, Chen Sixuan, hiding atop the bell tower, immediately sensed strange sounds emerging from the surrounding streets. She adjusted her angle, and on the holographic screen beneath her night-vision radar, she clearly saw an indescribable creature slowly crawling toward the rear rail station—this all happened the instant Kiki and Lu Xingchen were marked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A strange entity is approaching you—eliminate it immediately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Kiki and Lu Xingchen went on high alert. One stood on the open rail, the other on the steel roof of the platform; their powered armor systems continuously scanned, yet found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dilapidated rail seemed to lead into hell itself, offering no visibility beyond a short distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Xian and Shizhi had crossed through the passenger station and arrived on the rail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shizhi pointed immediately toward the outer wall of the station, toward an old residential building: “Over there—it’s a watcher!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watcher”—this term was given to Lin Xian by Chi Su Xun after he inquired about the strange entity that had emerged from the tunnel and vanished. According to the Silent City squad’s intelligence, it was a creature resembling a scout among strange entities: capable of emitting dark marks but never initiating attacks. Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately recalled the S-class Cloud Black Thorn from Xilan City—never expecting such a being existed among ordinary strange entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gengetsu Shinji referred to these entities as “watchers,” believing their rank was not low. They lurked in shadows, marking humans to attract surrounding strange entities, drawing them to swarm and feast on flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shizhi’s warning, Kiki and Huoge immediately moved, flying toward the residential building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cowardly scoundrel! Let this master burn you to ash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry—there’s no time!” Kiki’s expression was grim; under these circumstances, she dared not hesitate for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two flew over the wall, they spotted a white wraith rapidly retreating behind the residential building—but when they pursued, the target vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Xian arrived with Shizhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I sensed its aura!” Shizhi’s face was tense. She activated her ability to purify the group, then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grace, scan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Scrape.* Grace, who had just caught up, leapt onto the wall and began scanning the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Scanning in progress. Suspect locations marked.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, several path points appeared on Lin Xian’s new screen, each pointing to a different escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Split up and pursue!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Shizhi stood to the side, frowning. For some reason, she felt the dark, terrifying aura had not retreated—it remained beside her. Suspicious, she glanced around and noticed, in the corner of the residential courtyard, an ancient-looking well. Its surrounding barrier had collapsed, revealing a pitch-black opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s right here—it never left!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Xian and the others prepared to move, Shizhi called them to a halt and pointed toward the well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Xian, Kiki, and Huoge rushed forward. Kiki moved fastest—she had to seize the monster with her telekinesis immediately, then coordinate with Lin Xian to eliminate it. Otherwise, their marks would soon draw a flood of strange entities, and that would be disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she flew above the well and directed her spotlight downward, a horrifying sight suddenly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white wraith crouched at the bottom of the well, emitting a strange laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Click-click-click~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki was startled—instantly, the white wraith surged upward, seemingly preparing to flee again. Kiki focused her mind, her eyes glowing with telekinetic light, and slammed her power downward, pinning the wraith in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huoge and Lin Xian, who had just arrived on either side, saw this and struck without hesitation—full force, left and right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blazing Heaven Sword!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mech Cannon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure total annihilation, Huoge unleashed his ultimate technique—a crimson flame whip, encircled by a Mach ring, sliced through the emerging white wraith and a large section of the residential buildings behind it. Flames roared, melting walls and sending boiling smoke spiraling into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the faint marks on Kiki and Huoge vanished. The squad immediately entered silent mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the command center, Gengetsu Shinji observed the change in Lin Xian’s squad’s signal and transmitted a message:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin, the tide is receding soon. You must leave this place immediately and take shelter in the underground emergency hall beneath the rail station!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous situation had been perilous. Once confirmed that their marks were gone, Lin Xian immediately called out: “Chen Laoshi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan also moved swiftly. The group rushed through the passenger center’s main hall, descended the stairs, and entered a three-level underground parking garage below. The lowest level resembled a storage bunker—smaller than the upper levels. Such civil defense facilities were standard in transit hubs, designed for emergencies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian checked the time and led the squad into the emergency hall, then sealed the blast door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Clang.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy sound echoed endlessly through the empty hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian immediately turned on the lights. This emergency hall was the closest available to the Baicheng rail station. Unlike other zones, Chi Su Xun’s team had already scouted them—so the basement beneath this passenger center might still hold danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light swept across the hall—empty. Emergency supply racks in the corners held fire-fighting equipment. The floor held nothing but dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they had seen upon entering Baicheng, the city did not appear to have endured a post-apocalyptic exodus. Everything was frozen in place—even the emergency supplies untouched, indicating that this place had already “stopped” after the Day of Revelation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The tide is rising soon. Stay rational. Don’t lose focus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Shizhi gently reminded them: “Shinji said—the more fear you feel, the more your rationality drops, and the less strength you can summon. If you prepare mentally, you’ll reduce the pressure of the tide’s dark invasion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian nodded and conjured a massive floodlight. Instantly, the hall blazed with brightness; everyone exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Current research on psychic abilities indicates that their strength correlates directly with mental power. Transformation results from psychological collapse—a terminal, irreversible biological decay. Maintaining inner resolve improves survival odds.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grace said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian glanced at Grace—her metallic skin gleamed brilliantly. Earlier, she had crushed several strange human-headed spiders barehanded with effortless grace. Even after the massive explosion and direct suppression by Chi Su Xun’s heavy mech, she showed no visible damage. This robot’s resilience rivaled Ningjing’s—fifth-grade metal material was truly formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced down at the time: 13.04.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s heart tightened—he knew the tide, with its time-stalling, space-warping rhythm, was coming. He stopped thinking, drew a deep breath, and stilled his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>13:04:59\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>59\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>59\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>13:05!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, an extreme coldness slammed into them.
