Chapter 515: Darkest Hour

Lin Xian, who was originally preparing to go north to explore the Jaco orbital line, captured violent explosion fluctuations with his reconnaissance drones. From the analysis, it was clearly triggered by human weapons.

So he immediately changed his route to investigate. Sure enough, he saw the movement of Raymond's team fighting. Upon discovering that there were living people, Lin Xian's first reaction was to prepare to try to contact the other party to obtain some necessary information.

But after his reconnaissance drone approached the battlefield, he immediately recognized the Nightwalker cloaks on Raymond's team. He had seen this kind of cloak on Zhou Wuer and Peng Peng. Then, he captured Kiki's telekinetic fluctuations. This time, he didn't hesitate to take action. After shielding the probe of the high-standing person last night, he thought that this dark energy homologous frequency might be able to resist that kind of scarlet giant wall, so he used it directly on several people, and also to avoid accidental injury.

Boom rumble!

Lin Xian wore the black Night Star power armor and stepped through a battlefield of bloody smoke and fire. 6000 "Iron Man" and "Dragon Girl" combat mechas were standing still in every corner of the battlefield at this time. The ground was full of various charred or neatly cut broken limbs by VK electric knives. After these monsters were hunted, they erupted more scarlet blood mist, making the visibility even lower.

Moving his mecha army for the first time, Lin Xian had no intention of paying attention to combat data for evaluation at this time. He walked quickly across a scorched earth and walked towards the direction of the central protective window.

Swish~

Before he got close, a stream of light tore through the scarlet mist, rushing into Lin Xian's arms at an astonishing speed. The huge impact force made Lin Xian, wrapped in cold armor, stagger back a few steps. The figure hugged him tightly with all her strength across his cold armor, and a familiar voice trembling with excitement sounded in his ear:

"I knew it was you! I knew you definitely wouldn't die!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Xian's heart shook, and he hugged her back tightly across the power armor without hesitation. The two hugged tightly, and time seemed to stand still for a moment. The warm touch in his arms made complex emotions surge in Lin Xian's heart, and thousands of words finally converged into a low and apologetic:

"I'm sorry..."

He didn't know how to explain it. There was only one apology left. From lattice evolution but seeing that bizarre planetary head after sleeping, to being inexplicably captured by the Black Star celestial body, spending three months completing celestial resonance, and the unrecognizable, scarlet-filled world after waking up, everything was like a lifetime ago, making his mood very heavy.

Kiki in his arms heard this "I'm sorry", and her suppressed emotions erupted instantly. She suddenly burst into tears, crying and beating Lin Xian's chest armor with her fists while crying, crying and scolding incoherently: "You damn bad guy! I thought you would never wake up! I thought you were dead! Woo..."

At this time, Raymond and his team members finally recovered from the shock. They carefully gathered around. The brief calm of the battlefield did not bring peace. The scarlet mist all around surged violently, and heart-palpitating, low roars far exceeding before came from the depths. Clearly, greater movement was brewing.

Raymond suppressed the stormy waves in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and looked at Lin Xian sharply: "Are you... the Sword-Bearer Lin Xian?"

"It's me." Lin Xian's voice came through the mask, steady and certain.

Hearing the response, Li Site, Song Wei, and the others behind Raymond, who were still in shock, all took a cold breath.

"Damn, you are really still alive?!" Alon couldn't help but be surprised.

"No wonder a safe house appeared out of thin air from underground just now. Damn, I thought we were captured by something..." Li Site also opened his mouth.

Song Wei looked at Lin Xian and sized him up: "Same as the information from headquarters, creating large industrial weapons out of thin air, mechanical ability is indeed powerful!"

Raymond took a deep breath, looked at Kiki's back who was having an emotional outburst at this time with a complex expression, and as a captain, he immediately calmed down: "It seems the result is better than we expected. But now is not the time to reminisce. The scarlet tide might erupt! It will be really troublesome if we are targeted by too many hunters! Our mission is to rescue you. This place should not be stayed for long. Follow us back to the safe house first!" He spoke very fast, with unquestionable urgency.

Lin Xian agreed immediately: "Okay!"

He lowered his head and wanted to ask Kiki in his arms about the situation, but found that this girl was completely image-less at this moment, like a child who had suffered all the grievances and found support, holding his waist, burying her face in his chest armor, only caring about "ying ying ying" sobbing, her shoulders shrugging. Lin Xian's heart softened. He knew that she must have experienced unimaginable fear and difficulty supporting herself during this period. He patted her back lightly and didn't say anything more.

Then everyone set off immediately. The engines of several rugged flying motorcycles made a low roar, tearing through the viscous scarlet mist and flying at high speed close to the ground, while Kiki pulled Lin Xian to use telekinesis to follow. They galloped close to the ground at low altitude, heading east. Soon, in the blurred vision, they arrived at a small town called Palita near the Jaco coast. This was originally a place Lin Xian planned to bypass, because the scarlet in this area on the map was terrifyingly thick. He originally thought there were no living people, but he didn't expect the Phoenix Society to have a station here.

Lin Xian followed all the way, sizing up this small seaside town covered by scarlet. The town was dead silent, as if all colors had become gray and defeated. The houses looked like they had been decaying for twenty years. At a glance, there was no vitality. The corners of the streets were full of various corpses and wreckage that had become like charcoal, all shrouded in scarlet like thick fog. Standing on such a street, he didn't feel strange about any terrifying things coming out of the scarlet.

The flying motorcycles nimbly shuttled through the twisted streets, and finally rushed into an inconspicuous abandoned garage. The garage was empty, full of dust and scarlet moss. After the team stopped, Li Site closed the garage shutter and operated something on the action computer, then said to Lin Xian: "Watch your feet."

Empty empty!

At this time, Lin Xian subconsciously pushed away. The ground made a dull metal friction sound, and a heavy armor plate slid open slowly, revealing a spacious elevator. Lin Xian was a bit surprised to see it. There was actually a bunker underground in this ghost place?

And it looked like this bunker was still very new.

Soon, everyone entered, the elevator door closed, and then descended steadily and rapidly.

After a not-short descent, the elevator door opened again.

The vision in front of him suddenly opened up. Lin Xian realized that the scale of this bunker was not small. After the elevator stopped steadily, everyone walked into an empty disinfection room. Kiki signaled Lin Xian with her eyes, and a few people stood apart. Soon, countless automatic nozzles appeared on the wall, and water mist sprayed out like a rainstorm, cleaning all the blood stains on everyone's power armor.

Lin Xian noticed that in addition to the dark energy homologous frequency, there were no less than three types of energy isolation nets in this bunker isolation room. Kiki noticed Lin Xian's curiosity, and then whispered to him in the communication frequency:

"Scarlet, radiation, erosion, and some dangerous substances discovered by the Phoenix Society, all need to be cleaned and isolated."

Lin Xian exhaled and comforted himself: "Better than no way."

Soon, walking out of the isolation room, everyone began to unlatch the power armor protection. Outside were cold metal walls reflecting the neatly arranged white tube lights on the ceiling, emitting stable light. The air was filled with the mixed smell of disinfectant, machine oil, and human settlements. Lin Xian's vision reached, pipes wound on the ceiling and walls, emergency indicator lights flashed with ghostly green light. In the open main hall, there were many people, roughly seventy or eighty people. Some were maintaining weapons, and some were processing some strange instruments.

While walking forward in the passage, Raymond pointed to this busy and guarded underground world and introduced it to Lin Xian: "This is the Phoenix Society's scarlet outpost, a stronghold temporarily built after the scarlet outbreak. We all call it the 'Safe House'."

"Safe House?" Lin Xian looked at Kiki curiously, and then at Raymond: "What is it for?"

"Experiments, reconnaissance, and forward support." Song Wei, who had unlatched her power armor, was a short-haired and capable woman, looking in her early thirties. She said at this time: "The scarlet expanded too fast, we still have a lot of supplies that need to be rescued, and at the same time, we Nightwalkers must understand this disaster as quickly as possible so that headquarters can provide response plans in time!"

Sizzle~

At this time, the automatic door at the end of the passage opened first, and a group of people walked out from inside and walked towards them. The leader was a middle-aged man, thin and tall, looking like he had been drained of blood ten times by the scarlet giant wall, but although so, this person had a pair of deep and sharp eyes, shining brightly. ===== CHAPTER 516 =====
