"Of course." Mr. Shi responded, "The Foundation hasn’t released too many Civilization Preview Balls."
Lin Xian waved his hand, "No, you mentioned earlier that many researchers from the Phoenix Society have studied this game, but they haven’t directly simulated it. Is that correct?"
Mr. Shi’s gaze sharpened, perceiving the meaning behind Lin Xian’s words, he immediately revealed a piece of data.
"The Nightwalker indeed secretly conducted investigations in this area; at least 95% of the defecting senior personnel have interacted with this Civilization Preview Ball. After studying its preview content, we discovered that experiencing civilization previews brings a more comprehensive spiritual impact, perhaps..."
"95%?" Lin Xian immediately questioned, looking at Mr. Shi as he placed the Civilization Preview Ball on the table, asking, "Aren’t you worried that after simulating this Civilization Preview game in front of you, I would also defect?"
As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.
Song Wei and the others looked somewhat complex, while Mr. Shi shrugged casually, directly addressing Lin Xian, "As per the Commander’s orders, we support all actions and positions of the Sword Holder."
"Strictly speaking..." Raymond flicked his cigarette ash, looking at Lin Xian, "You’re the one in charge here at Sentry Post 374."
Upon hearing the high level of trust from Ye Lan and the Phoenix Society, Lin Xian was stunned for a few seconds, then relaxed his brows, taking a deep breath as he recounted the situation he had seen earlier.
The detailed info about High Tower Civilization No. 39081 had actually spread internally within the Phoenix Society and among many survivors, but what Mr. Shi and others didn’t know was that Lin Xian had actually encountered Chu Yan!
"How could it be? How could she be there?" KIKI frowned deeply, momentarily unable to understand.
Lin Xian also shook his head, remained silent for a moment, then said, "Perhaps it’s related to her Spiritual Ability; I could originally establish some link with her consciousness..."
"However..." Suddenly, he shifted the topic, "This Civilization Preview game definitely has something special; Chu Yan told me that some part of her consciousness was devoured, akin to the kind of devouring and fusion by the High Tower Civilization Angels, so I’m wondering if those who have played this game all experienced the same situation, leading to a 180-degree personality change."
Upon hearing this, Song Wei’s eyes widened, exclaiming, "Are you saying, they were all forcibly brainwashed??"
Lin Xian opened his mouth, seeking a better adjective, "It’s roughly like that, but not so direct."
"Holy crap, this thing is a Mind Controller!" Raymond looked at the Civilization Preview Ball on the table, clicking his tongue in wonder, "Aliens sure have diverse methods, I thought this kind of thing only existed in games."
KIKI realized at this point, "So was Chu Yan’s consciousness devoured, but due to her Spiritual Ability, she utilized part of it to protect you from being devoured, while helping you understand the entire history of High Tower Civilization?"
Mr. Shi nodded approvingly, pointing his finger, "A very reasonable deduction, Chu Yan is the ace of the North American United Front and Ye Commander trusts her, which means, Chu Yan hasn’t defected..."
Lin Xian suddenly stood up, "Mr. Shi, time is of the essence, I must depart immediately!"
"Ushuaia?"
"No." Lin Xian’s eyes burned bright, "Heading North, to the Colorado Grand Canyon, I need to find a way to bring the team out!"
"What?!" Song Wei’s face was filled with shock, "Captain Lin... the north-south railway is already broken, Dawn Center previously even united with Phoenix City and Noah’s Third Intercontinental Team to send a massive Air Fleet for rescue, all failed..."
"On the Nightwalker side, we’ve no idea how many members from the First and Third divisions have been lost." Raymond also chimed in, "Scarlet is not like Extreme Night, the degree of danger is completely unpredictable!"
Mr. Shi added, "Indeed, I understand your feelings, knowing your team members are at risk there, but the North American continent has been entirely devoured by Scarlet, and the terrain in the Colorado Canyon has been reconstructed by that world-class catastrophe, saving anyone there is fundamentally impossible!"
Lin Xian shook his head, seriously addressing Raymond and the others, "I am well aware of the dangers. Since Apocalypse Day, I’ve never been so foolish and emotional as I am now, but I must go. First, the Orbit Team carries a large amount of resources; without these, the Polar Kunlun City may not survive until escaping the Sky Veil. Furthermore, several powerful mechanical troops are trapped inside."
"Secondly, those are my people, no other reason is needed." freewёbnoνel.com
"But..."
"Moreover," Lin Xian interrupted Mr. Shi, speaking with a calm gaze, "Didn’t you just say, I’m the will and example among the survivors? As the Captain of the train group, if I abandon all teammates to go alone to Kunlun, then what will I represent, what example would I set?"
Mr. Shi momentarily paused, falling into silence.
"Well said, I knew it, so I’m already prepared!" KIKI smiled brightly, standing up to face Lin Xian, "Let’s head out together!"
"I’ll dispatch all action teams to go with you!" Mr. Shi looked seriously at Lin Xian, "You can command the entire post’s armed forces."
"No need, I need you to evacuate quickly, and relay the news about Civilization Preview and Chu Yan back to headquarters promptly to prevent more upheaval." Lin Xian replied.
Mr. Shi was stunned, "Then how do you plan to go?"
