"Ze Yang particularly enjoys researching chanical cha. Ever since you used a gas turbine to pull thousands of our vehicles onto the high-altitude track, he’s had a lot of respect for you," Jian Xuwei said.
"Sis," Jian Zeyang coughed lightly, a bit embarrassed, and then quickly changed the subject, saying seriously,
"Captain Lin, I’ve already arranged the route into the city. The city’s defenses and patrols are intensifying, so we must hurry. Otherwise, it will be difficult to escape if we get discovered."
Lin Xian nodded and imdiately said, "Alright, let’s go."
At this mont, Jian Zeyang greeted a subordinate behind him to manage the transport ship, while Lin Xian and his group boarded the all-terrain train. The convoy quickly changed direction and sped towards Dawn City.
"Zhou Mingyuan has ordered a complete lockdown of the city. An A-level Abnormal Body appeared on the west side, and the garrison fought for several hours, causing a significant wave of Abnormal Bodies to gather, which was just subdued. This is already the fifth A-level Abnormal Body attack on the main city in the past 48 hours. No one knows why, but many people are linking these incidents to the anomalies in the Deep Red World and Star Abyss."
On the moving train, Jian Zeyang quickly updated Lin Xian’s team about the situation inside the city.
"How is the Abnormal Body in the west connected to the anomaly in Star Abyss No. 5?" Qian Deli asked at this ti.
"Not Star Abyss No. 5, it’s the 8th Star Abyss!" Jian Zeyang imdiately replied, "The expansion of the 8th Star Abyss is accelerating. The entire Funing area and half of Liao Sea are gone now. The Extre Night Zone is already approaching the Heavenly Guard. According to the information from the forward posts there, large S-Class entities have been observed within the Extre Night Zone, but no one has encountered them, as it’s believed they saw illusions from the sky."
Lin Xian furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this: "The Heavenly Guard isn’t much closer to the 8th Star Abyss than Yongcheng Port, right?"
"Yes," Jian Xuwei chid in, "In terms of timing, the ti difference to enter the Extre Night won’t exceed a week."
"Additionally, more and more groups are leaving the city, causing so chain reactions. Zhou Mingyuan and the Population Control Bureau found an excuse to ban exiting the city after dark, so now Dawn City seems calm on the surface, but in reality, many people want to leave," Jian Zeyang explained.
"Nobody wants to bet on the Federation colluding with the Deep Red World," Qian Deli said leisurely.
"That’s just one reason," Jian Zeyang turned back and said, "In fact, many large convoys don’t intend to stay long in Dawn City; they mainly want to move towards Dawn because of the approaching Extre Night. Only small convoys and ordinary survivors have no other choices, so they rely on the high walls and Underground City to alleviate their fears. Most people can’t get into the Underground City; forget the Underground City, even getting inside the high walls is tough."
"Dawn City is so big; accommodating this small number of people shouldn’t be difficult, right?" Lin Xian said sternly, "It’s just a matter of resource scarcity."
Jian Zeyang nodded, "Yes, water, food, and even dical and sanitation resources are limited. The denser the population, the greater the chain reaction in the event of anomalies, resulting in wider casualties. During our ti in Dawn City, crises of nocturnal anomalies have occurred nightly, and nights with only a few dozen deaths are considered peaceful. Moreover, 80% of large-scale anomalies occur outside the Outer City District beyond Wall No. 1."
"Then, inside Dawn City is indeed relatively safe?" KIKI comnted at this point.
"Comparatively, yes," Jian Xuwei said. "With Wall No. 1 there, there are no zombies or Abnormal Bodies inside the city. The only threat is the encroaching darkness."
"And the Red Man Gu," Jian Zeyang added, "but it’s indeed safe; there are businesses, entertainnt, even superpower duels, underground fight clubs, and even a black market. Many large convoys co here to strengthen themselves, so recruiting powerful superpower users is open, depending on who offers the highest price."
"The Federation is recruiting too, I suppose," Lin Xian asked at this mont.
"Yes," Jian Zeyang said. "The Federation’s recruiting is the most formidable, and they’re even competing internally, primarily between the Blazing Angel and the Night Patrol Team, due to different factions. For this reason, Zhou Mingyuan also created the Light of Humanity Evolution Rankings. Anyone who ranks receives permanent residency in the Underground City of Dawn City, along with significant cash rewards."
Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this, "Rankings? That’s indeed a good approach."
"Indeed, and the Federation has recruited quite a few powerful superpower users as a result."
"Destruction Level?" KIKI inquired.
"Not just that," Jian Zeyang said, "Since that S-Class was defeated last ti, several formidable individuals on the evolution rankings have already grown to Angel Level."
"That ans a peak superpower of 10,000?"
"Exactly!"
Upon hearing this, KIKI, Brother Huo, Qian Deli, and others’ expressions all changed. To be honest, ever since their superpower assessnt in Xilan City, they’ve been subjected to constant crises and hadn’t paid much attention to their superpower growth. Lin Xian had no idea what their peak superpower levels had reached by now.
After all, during their ti in Star Abyss, those crises seed to be ones that couldn’t be solved through superpowers alone.
Buzzing.
With the advance of the convoy, the surrounding noise gradually beca a clamor, and gunfire occasionally thundered in the sky.
Lin Xian and the others opened the blackout screens, and imdiately a scene reminiscent of a post-apocalyptic disaster appeared before their eyes. As the convoy gradually drove towards the direction of the city wall, a large number of convoy camps appeared on the streets of the ruined outer city, from scattered to dense. Tents, steel-frad machine gun towers, and various vehicles densely occupied all the vacant city spaces, leaving only the main avenue leading vertically to Dawn City unobstructed.
