I Have a Job

Chapter 265: Shadow of Mist Xilan

"No. 03: Iris-like star ring, photographed by Harper's Space Eye before it crashed. Angel Project speculates that it is some kind of interstellar creature hidden in the dark matter cloud. Due to the lack of existence evidence, it is not yet classified as related to strange biological phenomena. Pending repeated observations, the number will be retained."

"Creature No. 04: An unknown creature from the Pacific Ocean abyss. First discovered in the Pacific Ocean and the Black Ocean abyss on July 11, 2069. Its form is unknown. Its observed size is over 13 kilometers. It once caused a tsunami on Boer Island..."

"Oh my god, why do these things appear on the Blue Planet..." Looking at the Phoenix Society's strange body illustrations, Sasha's eyes seemed to have lost their light, and she couldn't help but say.

Chen Sixuan sighed and said, "These seem to be more despairing than zombies and darkness."

Seeing this, Dalou was also surprised. Brother Huo, who was always arrogant and confident, seemed to have completely lost his temper at this time, standing aside and clicking his tongue. Only Ding Junyi had a calm face.

In her opinion, the fear of death is the same, and even from her materialistic scientific perspective, facing a monster from the abyss and facing a zombie that can kill her seem to be no different, both are the destruction of the body.

"It's not despair, at least not all humans have died yet." Lin Xian looked at the depressed atmosphere of the crowd and couldn't help but said, "We just escaped death. As long as all humans in this world have not died, there is still hope."

Lin Xian's words eased the depression in everyone's heart. Chen Sixuan nodded and said, "Well, humans can also build sky cities of hundreds of thousands of tons and weapons with an equivalent of hundreds of millions of tons. We are not without a chance to defeat these monsters."

KIKI sat on the swivel chair, her eyes constantly sweeping across the strange body illustrations. At this moment, she suddenly exclaimed,

"It turns out that not every strange body has strange blood essence~"

Her words attracted everyone's attention. Ding Junyi raised her glasses and looked at the contents.

"According to the Night Walker Organization's experiments on over 1,000 C- and B-level weird bodies, the reason why the weird body produces blood sperm and accumulates blood sperm concentration is proportional to the scale of the weird body's hunting of humans..."

"Sure enough, blood essence is human blood..."

Ding Junyi's face turned cold, and she took a deep breath and said, "Sure enough, I have previously speculated that the human experiment on the 7th floor of the Foundation laboratory might be an experiment to use humans as a 'rain and dew collection and filtration device' to collect dark forces and then use them to feed the weird body to generate blood essence."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

Chen Sixuan covered her mouth directly, and the faces of others changed drastically.

"Is this true?!!" KIKI looked over with eyes wide open.

Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this: "You mean, the stronger the mutant or evolver is, the higher the level of blood essence will be generated after being devoured by the strange body?"

If it's true, it's simply too horrible. Using humans to feed on blood is no longer anti-human...

But when he finished speaking, he found that everyone else was looking at him in astonishment.

Ding Junyi put her hands in her pockets, looked at Lin Xian and said, "I just made a rough inference based on the contents of those experiments, but your idea seems to be much more terrifying than this."

Lin Xian was speechless, thinking to himself, I am just saying what you said.

"Okay, let's see what everyone is most interested in." KIKI glanced at Lin Xian quietly, and then continued to call up the third item in the Huoshu information package, which is also what everyone is most concerned about at the moment.

Superpower.

Previously, everyone's understanding of superpowers came from the early information that KIKI obtained from the Angel Project. Currently, Lin Xian only knows that several superpower users in the team should have reached the evolutionary level. No one knows more details. Only Brother Huo is obsessed with developing different superpower skills. Apart from that, KIKI and the building are almost growing wildly, with no direction at all.

Of course, Brother Huo's direction cannot be considered a direction. His skills are all based on thinking and naming. As for how to improve his strength, Lin Xian currently knows that apart from the energy transformed by the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, it seems that the only option left is to rely on combat experience.

3. Superpowers

According to the latest superpower intelligence released by the Phoenix and Nightwalker organizations, the Phoenix has currently collected and summarized more than 100 types of superpowers, which are divided into more than ten major categories. The Nightwalker organization divides the superpowers into several levels from S, A, B, C, and D according to the particularity, potential, and threat of the superpowers.

Among them, strange shape proliferation, limb mimicry, and gigantic limbs are rated as D-level, which is the most common type of superpowers at present.

Going up in order, there are more than a dozen categories such as beast form, blood energy, corpse transformation, water walking, metal skin, etc., which are rated as C-level. Lin Xian carefully learned that from the description of the superpowers, the building should be a blood energy superpower, which can enhance strength and accelerate physical recovery. The strength will increase further with blood loss, but the disadvantage is that it puts great pressure on the regeneration of the heart, lungs and spinal cord.

Among the B-level abilities, there are many that Lin Xian has never seen before, such as Demon Form, Earth and Stone, Evil Bone, and Strange Eyes. All flying abilities are basically defined as B-level.

The A-level abilities currently recorded include wind, water, superhuman, resonance, sound waves, laser, mental, speed force, object control...

Among them, Jiang Yun's wind system, Li Guangwen from the Sun Chasing Team seemed to be in resonance, Abai's laser, and Qian Dele's super speed, Lin Xian had seen all of these.

The last one is S-level. The four extremely powerful superpowers of telekinesis, fire, thunder and light were all within Lin Xian's expectations, except for one that surprised him.

Evil desire.

He paid special attention to the introduction of this ability and was surprised to find that they had actually encountered this ability before!

It was the green-haired girl who could control the corpse tide in the Black Crow Four when they first entered Hengshan Pass.

"Wow, that woman actually has S-level superpowers!" KIKI couldn't help but say at this time.

"Being able to control the zombie tide is extremely threatening." Shu Qin looked at Lin Xian and said, "He almost destroyed so many of our convoys with his own strength. This ability is indeed extraordinary."

Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan nodded when they heard this. It was indeed a dangerous night, with the huge army of zombies like an avalanche.

Moreover, the girl's ability level is not high. One can imagine how terrible it would be if such ability were allowed to grow.

"But we have two S-class psychics in our car."

Shasha glanced at Lu Xingchen and said, "Brother Huo, you are an S-level psychic, do you have anything to say?"

"Hmph~"

Lu Xingchen snorted disdainfully: "I am the incarnation of the God of Fire, how can I bother with this kind of ranking dispute."

After saying that, he couldn't help but add, "But this list puts the fire element before the wind, thunder, rain and light. I am very satisfied with it..."

"Then why are you queuing behind me~" KIKI perked up.

Lu Xingchen waved his hand: "Then it should be sorted by the first letter of the pinyin, it doesn't count."

Hearing this, Dasha frowned and said, "It seems... to make sense."

"Bullshit!" Sasha slapped her brother and said, "Brother, how did you calculate it? The light should be in front."

"That's right." KIKI said with a smile.

"Stop arguing."

At this time, Chen Sixuan couldn't help but intervene and said, "Didn't I say it? It's just a list, not a ranking. Why fight over it? If you have the time, you might as well learn how to upgrade your abilities."

As soon as Chen Sixuan spoke, she adopted a teacher's tone and immediately stopped these people from struggling.

Lin Xian held his forehead helplessly. At this moment, he realized that his mechanical ability was not on the list of abilities of the Phoenix Society. There was only one other person besides him, and that was Director Ding.

Plant abilities sound like the same as his mechanical abilities, very unpopular and bizarre, but they have huge potential for development.

He even felt that the plant department had more potential than his mechanical department.

Now he understood why the Order of Phoenix was so interested in his ability, which was even rarer than KIKI's telekinesis. Since there was such a list, it was very likely that KIKI was not the only one with telekinesis.

Moreover, Lin Xian also discovered that the so-called same supernatural power system can even develop different results depending on the differences of the supernatural person himself, which is indeed intriguing.

Chen Sixuan's words stopped Lu Xingchen and Shasha from arguing, and they all immediately turned their attention to the improvement of superpowers in the information package.

"Uh~"

"It seems there is no way to improve it."

KIKI sat with her legs crossed, constantly searching with the mouse, but found that there was no more detailed content than the previous Angel Plan. Even the level classification of the psychics was exactly the same and there was not much difference.

All the growth of superpowers was summarized into two points by the Night Walker Organization.

1. The spiritual power of the psychic is enhanced, and he can resist the growing invasion of darkness in the body.

2. Absorb more dark invading forces and maintain their balance.

The so-called absorption is actually experiencing the night, which is called passive absorption.

Killing strange bodies and swallowing blood essence are called active absorption, but because of the great risks, there are cold dark reagents, as well as a balance method of sunbathing and drinking vegetable juice.

Apart from that, nothing else.

"It seems there is no effective method~"

KIKI crossed her arms and said, "Darkness invasion has side effects no matter what."

"There is actually a key question."

Lin Xian's face was slightly grim: "If humans cannot block the power of darkness, then the only way left is to chase the dawn. At least in order to improve our abilities, we have to take this path."

Ding Junyi looked at him: "Are you trying to say that the Federation's underground city plan will lose its meaning and popular support because of this unavoidable problem?"

"yes."

"But who knows." KIKI turned around: "What if they can produce a lot of vegetable juice~"

"In this case, will their superpowers become even more powerful?"

"It's mathematically correct, but the theory is difficult to implement." Ding Junyi said directly: "Unless the human body's 'metabolism' of this dark force has exceeded the equilibrium value, or human means can completely suppress the dark invasion force, so that humans can fully adapt to surviving in the polar night and become stronger and stronger. However, it is obviously impossible now."

"Yes, if we are not afraid of the polar night, we don't even have to run away." Shu Qin said at this time: "But the Federation Dawn City probably has their own response strategies, and they will not just sit there and wait for death."

Lin Xian weighed the cold dark reagent in his hand and said, "Absorb the darkness, assimilate the darkness. Those snow monsters dared to attack in the wind and snow, which means that these strange bodies are also adapting to the dawn. Therefore, the fittest survive, and we humans must speed up the progress."

"Do you want to try this?" Chen Sixuan looked at the green liquid and couldn't help but frowning slightly.

Ding Junyi responded at this time: "As for vegetable juice, we can distribute some of it now."

Some of the green plants and vegetables in carriage No. 4 have grown a lot by now. Out of the rigor of a scientist, Ding Junyi even observed the separate cabin that she had catalyzed with plant powers, mainly because she was worried that there would be some differences.

"This kind of thing is really a bit…" Lin Xian also looked at it with a heavy gaze.

The Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube could sense the power of darkness invading from it. Lin Xian was somewhat hesitant, and he even forgot to ask Zhou Wuer whether this thing could only be used by people with special abilities, or whether even gene-enhanced people like Chen Sixuan and Shu Qin could use it.

At this time, Da Lou stood up and said, "Brother Xian, why don't you let me try? I have a strong recovery ability and can handle it!"

"I think you're just greedy, brother." Shasha rolled her eyes at him. "Ten first-level blood essences in a bottle, that's enough to buy so many boxes of canned food. Why are you using such a valuable thing for experiments?!"

Dasha scratched his head in embarrassment. In fact, he was simply worried about the harmful power of this thing and didn't think much about it.

Lin Xian thought about it, shook his head and said, "It's okay to give it a try, but since the Night Walker Organization in Xilan City now has equipment to detect people with special abilities, I think it's better to use it after we understand it. At least we can know what changes it has on special abilities. Now we can only rely on our feelings after drinking it."

"That's right~" KIKI also agreed: "I want to see if my strength has broken through the Diamond Level now."

Lu Xingchen lost his sleepiness immediately after hearing this and said loudly, "Interesting, I think it is very necessary to test it."

Lin Xian smiled helplessly when he heard this. His Mechanical Heart had a perfect growth progress, which he was not worried about. He was mainly curious about his new skill rewards.

Now Lin Xian was very glad that he had taken the risk to devour the nuclear-powered turbine engine in Qingshui Town at night and obtained the gravitational lens. This skill had saved his life three times. Although it consumed a lot of energy, now thinking about it, it was totally worth it!

Huhuhuhu!

The joint train broke through the wind and snow and rushed into the night.

The rescue convoy, the Emperor Project Team, and the Survey Corps that came to support from Xilan City, a steel torrent consisting of hundreds of tanks, rolled over the snow and headed towards Xilan City.

Lin Xian rested for a few hours and recovered a lot of his energy. During the break, he quickly made some ammunition for supply in case of crisis.

Not long after, bursts of thunder suddenly came from the blizzard. The intensive artillery fire and explosions woke up many passengers on the United Train who were already sleeping. They all picked up the weapons beside their pillows. It seemed that being able to deal with disasters anytime and anywhere had been engraved in their blood, making it difficult to distinguish between day and night.

"To all survivor convoys, Longshan No. 1 and Infinity, I am He Zhen, the leader of the Seventh Survey Corps. We are about to arrive at Xilan City. Reconnaissance report: Xilan City is currently under attack by a strange entity, the intensity is medium, and there will be covering fire to clear the way for us. There is no need to be nervous, we will go straight into the city!"

He Zhen's voice made people feel excited. It was obvious that the defense forces of Xilan City were no strangers to such strange tides in the dark night, which made many people feel relieved.

"It seems that Xilan City is under defensive defense. The entire city should be safe."

On the Infinity, Shu Qin was surprised when she heard Captain He's words.

"It should be."

Lin Xian was also excited at this time. Along the way, they had never been to a city that had not been conquered by zombies and strange bodies. This was very surprising. No wonder they heard what the night walker postman Zhou Wuer said and wanted to look for him in the city. It seemed that Xilan City was still maintaining some kind of city operation under the protection of the Phoenix Society.

Chen Sixuan nodded: "I once heard my father say that Xilan City was originally an industrial city built on an iron mine. The city is not big, but it has a nuclear defense-level city defense system. It was originally built by Longguo as a northwest defense fortress before the establishment of the Federation. It is also related to many oil and natural gas energy transportation hubs, and has great strategic significance. It even has a full set of production lines for heavy tanks and mechas."

KIKI held a lollipop in her mouth and worked on the computer with her fingers, and soon brought up a city layout map.

"Although this city is not big, it is built on the mountain. Although Fenglan Mountain is only more than 1,000 meters above sea level, it is already the largest mountain in this grassland Gobi. Wow! This city actually still retains the war wall!"

"That was built last century…"

"There is also a very famous Durga radar array here, which is also an antique from the last century. The radar power is over 10 megahertz. Once it is activated, the radars in the entire Yunjiang Plain will be disturbed. However, it has become a tourist attraction."

"I remember that there were many heavy industrial bases here before the Apocalypse, but the population was small, and not many people came here for tourism."

"Look!"

At this time, the picture in the sighting system on the roof of the Infinity vehicle became clearer and clearer, and the outline of a towering mountain appeared in the field of vision. At the same time, under the wind and snow, visibility became wider and wider, and a steel city that looked entirely made of reinforced concrete began to show its grandeur.

A boiling tide of snow monsters began to appear in all directions, but they were all heading towards Xilan City. In the picture, a huge war wall surrounded this industrial city, and many heavy artillery were firing in the back, with flames and smoke shaking the sky!

On the snowy peaks in the back, radar towers and a large number of spotlights illuminated the city below, giving people a cold and heavy feeling of oppression.

The first place the joint train approached was a large oil refinery outside the city. The huge oil pipeline was covered with snow and wind, like blood vessels extending from the earth. A large number of snow demons and monsters shuttled and roared through it, and many of them were already rushing towards the convoy. At this time, the support troops of the Survey Corps began to open fire.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, a huge explosion exploded in the snow demon tide like thunder. A giant thermobaric bomb exploded a few kilometers away from the convoy, setting off a white hemisphere of shock waves that swept away the risk and rushed towards the joint train convoy. All the vehicles and trains only felt a sudden tilt, and the shock wave instantly made everyone's ears tinnitus for a moment.

"It's the artillery and bombing support troops, don't panic!!"

"We'll be in town soon!"

Bang, bang, bang!

On the wall behind the refinery, dozens of large-caliber rail guns fired at the same time, setting off a series of explosions in the rushing tide of snow monsters! Boom,

boom, boom!

Beep! !

The power of large-scale city defense base weapons is far beyond the reach of the onboard weapons of the joint train. The so-called caliber is strength. The Great Wall-50 base rail artillery array, the Iron Curtain defense air defense system composed of anti-aircraft missiles/electromagnetic guns/close-in defense guns, hundreds of heavy firepower artillery towers, plus a main force of the Interstellar Army Survey Corps, and the special terrain of Xilan City can be called a solid fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Under cover, the combined train took advantage of the wind and snow and rushed into the outer city from the rail station along the Xilan mining line. Under the heavy defense lines, the tide of snow monsters behind them had disappeared. The wind and snow gradually stopped, and a heavy city under a mountain range appeared in everyone's sight.

The large buildings in the city were shrouded in darkness at this time, but the further you went in, the more lights were lit in the city center and streets. They were all various motorcade camps, and some people even temporarily lived in some buildings to avoid the wind and snow, making some streets look brightly lit. At this time, many eyes in the city were looking at this joint train that came in the wind and snow. When the Infinity and Longshan No. 1 passed the passenger track outside the city and began to enter the Xilan City Rail Terminal, they saw a large number of doomsday trains parked on the spare and branch tracks.

These trains come in all shapes and sizes, some with lights on in the carriages, while others are covered with thick armor plates and are airtight.

The waiting room was packed with people, and the floor was covered with various tents and mats.

Armed Survey Corps guards could be seen everywhere on the platform, and since entering the city, Lin Xian and his team had seen at least dozens of mechas of various types.

In addition to the 'Iron Guard 3' military assaulters, Guard 2 and Guard 3 light assaulters on the front positions, there are also all of Lin Xian's T8-Z Vulcan military assault vehicles, and even the Destroyer heavy military assault vehicles.

There are also many Arcturus special industrial mechas used for material transportation and various types of drones in the city.

Most of them belong to the Phoenix Order and have uniform mechanized paint jobs, while some belong to the survivor convoys and have undergone strange modifications.

The difference from the previous entry into Yubei City is that the firepower upgrades of many survivor convoys here have been very high, and more large and special vehicles have begun to appear. The convoy of hundreds of vehicles connected by small nuclear devices can only be called a medium-sized convoy. Lin Xian and his group even saw a large square full of a large convoy with the same paint, called the Arctic Wind Alliance.

"There are probably 50,000 people in this city." Chen Sixuan said, looking out the window.

"According to the timetable, today is already the 29th. The Phoenix Society of Xilan City has announced that they will evacuate on the 31st. This is already very late. They are almost evacuating at the edge of the tidal coverage of Star Abyss No. 5. Why don't these convoys leave earlier?"

The Phoenix Society chose to evacuate at the last possible time in order to wait for the rescue of more survivors who were rushing to Xilan City. The time had been announced, so the official organization would definitely not leave early before the end.

However, the survivors actually have a choice. After getting replenished and rested in Xilan City, they can head eastward to catch up with the Dawn Center in advance.

Lin Xian said in a deep voice: "Although they are afraid of the group hunting effect, they know that it is safest to follow the main force."

Shuqin nodded: "Some people will definitely leave early, but most people would rather follow the Phoenix Society. In the end times, people will be more dependent on others, so they would rather wait until the last day to evacuate."

Lin Xian looked at the city under the wind and snow. Above the sky, aircraft flew by from time to time. Tactical spotlights on the city walls in the distance flashed, bringing an extremely rare sense of security to the city.

"Two days left... I hope everything goes well."
