Free Web NovelChapter 1300: Chapter 500: Restarting the Infinity
Lin Xian’s gaze swept across KIKI’s face, then looked towards Shi Weidong and the others.
"I forgot to tell you all, I have an armored train."
Shi Weidong: ?
...
Bang! Bang!
On the abandoned orbit station of Parita Town, turbulent dust danced wildly. Liszt, the sniper using it as cover, hid calmly at a height, aiming his Gauss Sniper Rifle to guard against the scarlet threat. But the next moment, on the initially empty tracks, accompanied by a metallic boom, a black and red heavy armored train bizarrely revealed its majestic outline from within the scarlet fog, causing this sniper, accustomed to grand scenes, to drop his jaw uncontrollably.
"Wang Defa?? What is that thing?? Where did he pull that out from?!"
Beside him, Song Wei, holding binoculars and half-squatting on alert, couldn’t help but gasp at this scene: "Now we know why even the people of the Holy City didn’t dare leave his body behind..."
"Sizzle..."
Shi Weidong personally led the defense team in action. At this moment, he hid inside a building, using the communications device in his Power Armor to contact Lin Xian on the train.
"The Nightwalker has sent all the collected data on the scarlet. However, you need to be cautious, as we’ve found that Blood Essence might attract creatures within the scarlet, and this cannot be shielded by the Energy Field, so be very careful."
"Thank you very much!"
Lin Xian was sitting in the armored cockpit of the nuclear-powered ’Sky Star 5C’ car of the Infinity, while KIKI, with a mobile computer in hand, sat beside him, integrating the original train’s Sentinel Monitoring system and rebooting the electro-optical surveillance and laser radar systems.
He thought for a moment, then pressed his earpiece to speak to Shi Weidong: "I suggest you split the convoy into batches. The people from Holy City are likely watching you. If you head south, they might think you’re on a mission to escort me."
"Don’t worry about that." Shi Weidong responded immediately: "According to the scheduled time, we should begin evacuation in 33 days, and the interstellar army of Ushuaia will take no more than 40 days. By then, the entire South American continent and World Ocean will be covered, and the polar day in the polar regions will also start to have nightfall, so if you really succeed, don’t exceed this evacuation time."
"Alright, I understand." Lin Xian frowned slightly upon hearing this, making some mental calculations.
He then refrained from saying much more, exchanged a glance with KIKI, and immediately made up his mind. The Mechanical Heart activated instantly, and the long-dormant power core of the Infinity began to hum. Ionized vibrations and the engines of the Dragon-level traction locomotive and Giant Whale 03E heavy turbine locomotive roared to life as the magnetic levitation wheels clamped onto the old-style tracks, slowly turning. Thousands of tons of the armed train were now poised to head towards the scarlet fog in the north!
Inside an abandoned building, Shi Weidong watched the train disappear into the scarlet, and shortly after, the signal was lost. With a solemn expression, he sighed heavily.
Raymond stood behind him, holding a heavy weapon, and said at this moment
"Lao Shi, you might have a hard time explaining this to the Commander..."
Shi Weidong took a deep breath, replying helplessly: "The Commander instructed us to follow his orders and didn’t ask us to forcibly bring him back to the polar region, which means she has anticipated this scenario. What can I do?"
"This kid is clearly on a suicide mission." Raymond said: "Barely escaped with his life the last time."
"Let me tell you something," Shi Weidong said with a complex expression: "If you’ve experienced the battle of Dawn City like I have, your perspective might be different. This guy just might find the orbital forces."
After saying that, he turned around: "Notify everyone to retreat to the bunker immediately."
"Yes!"
...
Lin Xian’s mind was in turmoil. Sentry Post 347 had provided him with plenty of supplies, including Blood Essence, enabling him to activate the newly manufactured Dark Energy Frequency Field Generator on the train, preventing the resources within the Infinity from decaying and shielding him and KIKI from the corrosive scarlet danger.
Even so, he dared not be careless, for the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube was not aboard the Infinity, nor were there any safety charms like Hell Black Chrysanthemum or Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes. It was just him and KIKI, and the roaring train could attract the scarlet Abnormal Body at any moment.
In the cockpit, Lin Xian gulped down more than half a bottle of water. The purified water was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant and sulfur, making him dizzy as he inhaled it.
While keeping an eye on the road ahead, his mind was filled with scenes from both the Black Star Forge and the Civilization Preview Ball he had just seen.
He couldn’t understand why he saw the planetary cranium.
How does this relate to Crystal Grid Evolution?
"What are you thinking about?" KIKI couldn’t help asking, noticing Lin Xian’s complex expression.
"I’ve been thinking if we hadn’t undergone Crystal Grid Evolution back then..."
KIKI chuckled: "Don’t be silly. Even if you hadn’t gone through Crystal Grid Evolution, would the scarlet menace not have erupted? Would Dawn Center not have been attacked, or would we not have gone to save Dragon Mountain No. 1, Silver Star, and our companions on the Infinity—Liang Lei, Li Yi, Lao Mo, Xiao Bai, Luo Luo, Xiao Min, Brother Shi, Jian Xuwei? So many people, would you really have turned your back on them?"
Lin Xian remained silent. KIKI looked ahead and angrily said: "Blame those Descent Faction bastards. So many people have been harmed by them."
Lin Xian, upon hearing this, seriously replied: "It seems that Phoenix Society’s previous suspicion might be correct."
"What?"
Lin Xian said: "The darkness... no, the High Tower Civilization indeed doesn’t understand humans. That’s why they use organizations like the Foundation to act as ’insiders’ in the human camp. But whether it’s biological experiments or effective intelligence, there’s one conclusion... the High Tower Civilization isn’t fully confident they can defeat humans!"
KIKI nodded in agreement: "And there’s another reason, they’re very weakened."
"Even so, with immortal beings fighting it out, mortals will suffer. Now, the Star Abyss, scarlet, and world-class disasters are challenges that humanity simply can’t overcome. Even though we know the High Tower Civilization is just a ravaged civilization looking to rebuild using our Blue Star, what else can we do..." Lin Xian sighed with his eyes closed, thinking perhaps those who fled already realized this long ago.
After speaking, his eyes flickered: "Do you know what I saw during the Crystal Grid Evolution?"
KIKI looked at him, and Lin Xian, while cautiously monitoring the situation outside the train with a drone, recounted the visions he’d seen while unconscious to KIKI in detail.
KIKI listened intently, her youthful brow furrowed in thought.
"A giant that devours planets being obliterated by a beam of light? Doesn’t this sound like Uniga’s situation when the High Tower Civilization was defeated by that mysterious advanced civilization?"
"I’ve thought about it," Lin Xian pondered with a frown: "But why was there that metal dice in the beam of light?"
He voiced his hypothesis: "Could it be that it was the high-dimensional humans who destroyed Uniga?"
KIKI’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: "You’re onto something, there’s a real possibility."
"But, it doesn’t add up..." Lin Xian sighed: "If high-dimensional humans had such power, why wouldn’t they directly eliminate the High Tower people parasitizing on Blue Star? On top of that, the High Tower people being annihilated by high-dimensional humans and then fleeing to the human civilization on Blue Star as a safe haven, wouldn’t that be foolish?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"This indicates that they prefer not to show themselves and instead guide you to solve the problem, right?" KIKI speculated creatively: "You possess a mechanical celestial system capable of truly threatening the High Tower people, which explains why they’ve targeted you. Isn’t this also why Hua Xiaoling sought you out?"
"According to what you’re saying, wouldn’t it be best for them to just kill me?" Lin Xian countered.
"Not necessarily ~" KIKI seriously quipped: "As the saying goes, two armies should not harm envoys. Perhaps they’re worried killing you would anger that advanced civilization, so they treat you with courtesy!"
Lin Xian: "..."
KIKI laughed mysteriously seeing Lin Xian at a loss for words.
"Great, we’re back on the Infinity, charging forth and vanquishing all sorts of monsters and demons~" she said excitedly, then turned to Lin Xian: "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Didn’t you just say that the metal dice kept flipping on 64 sides?"
"Have a thought?" Lin Xian inquired.
KIKI shrugged: "6 and 4, it’s not a time, not coordinates, not a countdown, then what could it be, 6+4 equals 10... 10? 1 and 0, hey, binary is also 1 and 0, Morse code might work too, wanna give it a try?"
Lin Xian was surprised by her idea: "Could that actually work?"
KIKI lightly chuckled, gazing at the scarlet mist ahead, a sly glint in her eyes as she muttered to herself: "Whatever, sometimes action can find answers faster than speculation..."
"Isn’t that so?"
