"Lin Xian, Lin Xian!"
The buzzing in his ears was overwhelming, and the imnse feeling of detachnt from the world made Lin Xian feel dizzy. The voice in his ear gradually beca clearer, and Lin Xian’s gaze focused. In front of him was a cabinet gradually extinguishing. With his Superstring Reactor shut down, the central control room of the City Ring went dark once more, accompanied by the continuous sound of artillery and Chu Yan’s shouts.
"How is it?"
Seeing Lin Xian’s complexion gradually recover, Chu Yan imdiately asked.
Lin Xian took a few deep breaths, then looked at the ti—8:36. The citywide search had actually taken him over ten hours!
"I found it. Southeast of Dawn City, 35 kiloters in the E sector, outside the city. It’s an unfinished Underground City base number 2, now transford into a place called Giant God Peak Launch Site."
Lin Xian, focusing intently, hurriedly relayed the information: "People from the Deep Red World are there too. It’s not just the brain activity. They... they want to launch the entire S-Class into space to be used as a Breaking Curtain Device!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan imdiately pressed her earpiece.
"Heading 35 kiloters towards the E sector, Giant God Peak Launch Site, move imdiately."
Da da da!
Outside Double Star Tower, artillery echoes shook the sky, and at this mont, Zhou Jin’s voice ca through: "Understood. We’re coming through the underground network!"
"Is the battle still going on outside?" Lin Xian snapped back to reality and said in surprise.
"The Extre Night from three Star Abysses is rapidly approaching. Abnormal Bodies have been attacking all night. Now the 83 Iron Guard Brigade and Heavenly Calming Ship have moved to support the north and east directions of the city." Chu Yan imdiately told KIKI, "You take care of him."
KIKI, looking utterly exhausted, was now atop Double Star Tower, where not only the squads of the Crescent Moon Operation were present, but garrison troops had also been massively deployed to fend off the aerial assaults.
"I’m fine."
Lin Xian glanced at Shi Zhi, took a deep breath, and pulled out the Continuous Control Key given to him by Chu Zhaonan. He said to Chu Yan, "I’ll go with you. They have a brain-machine device. I can prevent it from self-destructing!"
At this mont, Qino’s Nightwalker Organization team fought their way inside, saying, "Hurry, there’s not much ti left!"
Lin Xian donned his Black Hawk Battle Armor, and the group fully ard themselves, preparing to descend and transition through the underground network. The elevator rapidly descended, and Lin Xian stepped to the window. The Dawn City’s number 1 city wall was a vast inferno in the rainy night. The air was thick with the acrid scent of smoke and blood.
The Abnormal Bodies’ assault hadn’t stopped all night. The Outer City District beneath the number 1 city wall was already a ruin, piled with corpses of Abnormal Bodies like a sea of bodies. Incendiary bombs burned all night on the debris and corpses, among countless destroyed and charred cha, and soldiers who died in Power Armor. Survivors were scattered among them. At this mont, all city gates were sealed, with all firepower directed outward from the walls and within.
Fighting relentlessly through the night!
Looking at the catastrophic scene, Lin Xian’s gaze flickered. Under these circumstances, he wondered if there were any other surviving survivors from the Yunjiang Plain who could make it to Dawn City. Then there was Jin Hai; he didn’t know if Ning Jing and Qian Deli had returned safely.
There was no other choice now. They had to gather information from the Deep Red World and learn about the connections to the S-Class before the Vanguard Plan launched. Only with equal information could the Human Camp have a chance during the remaining ti. anwhile, Lin Xian also needed to seize control of the Heart of the Galaxy after the Vanguard Plan’s launch.
Chu Zhaonan left him 10 seconds. He had to seize it. Otherwise, if all city weapons went offline, the halt of the battlefront could directly lead to the fall of the city wall defenses, with unimaginable consequences.
"Now, many people from the large convoy have gone to support the front lines at the walls. Inside the city, chaos has erupted multiple tis overnight due to anomalies. But the problem is, many convoy vehicles were destroyed in last night’s battle, especially the smaller convoys. Almost all vehicles were abandoned to enter the city."
Arriving at the underground fortifications, several squad mbers boarded a magnetic levitation transport vehicle, beginning to advance towards the city’s outskirts.
On the vehicle, KIKI spoke to Lin Xian about the situation. At this mont, the aftereffects of using radar for chanical Scan began to show. A piercing headache made it difficult for him to focus his vision.
"Why are there fewer people?" Lin Xian asked.
"Heavy Machine Gunner Tong Silei from Zhou Jin’s squad, two Flying Superpower Users from Qino’s detachnt, and several others perished resisting last night," Chu Yan said to Lin Xian.
Hearing this, Lin Xian’s expression slightly darkened. He looked at Zhou Jin, Li Su, Qino, and others, all exhausted from fierce battles. To Lin Xian, scanning the entire city seed like it only lasted a few minutes, but so much ti had passed. The deaths of squad mbers left Lin Xian feeling a bit heavy-hearted, and he said, "I’m thinking we can’t be sure who the liaison to the Gray Mist is. What if we accidentally kill soone important?"
Chu Yan earnestly stated, "You might not fully understand this organization, Deep Red World. We’ve been tracking and investigating Deep Red World for a long ti, capturing many senior mbers. This organization isn’t rely anti-human or opportunistic. In a certain sense, their foundational ideology is the sa as Chu Zhaonan’s Federation group, which is the thought pattern that ’humanity is bound to lose.’ Combined with the technological mindset of Digital Life, their understanding of survival has fundantally changed. Simply put, they don’t wish for civilization extinction or the eradication of humanity; instead, they believe that humanity can communicate, assist, and even assimilate Dark Creatures with their power, ultimately achieving a state of coexistence."
