Chapter 55 Evolution Information
Chapter 55 Evolution Information
Lin Xian looked calm and replied, "That's not necessarily the case. We'll know after we see it."
Jiang Yun looked at him with scrutiny, then nodded and said, "That's no problem. In fact, there are relatively standard versions of this thing at some of the rescue points of the Phoenix Federation, but because of the polar night, all the rescue points are constantly moving, or those permanent underground cities will also have them. But similarly, once they enter the polar night, it will be difficult for supplies to get in, and it will be difficult for people to get out."
"As for the information about the evolution of superpowers you mentioned..." Jiang Yun forced a smile and looked around. "I can only tell you that the evolution methods and paths of all superpowers are different. You must specify what the specific superpower is. If it is one of the types announced by the Phoenix Society, I can tell you directly, but if not, then I'm not sure if anyone here knows it. Even if they do..."
"What? This secret can be traded?" KIKI responded at this time.
Jiang Yun nodded meaningfully. "Yes, but not necessarily. After all, there are too many types of superpowers now, and even the simplest and most common superpowers like limb mimicry and monstrous proliferation, their evolution path is not as easy as just sucking blood. Some people can succeed, while others will fail. This may be related to the growth progress of their own superpowers, or it may be related to mental strength or the type of blood food. There are many things that are hard to say. So even if someone selflessly tells you their own method of evolution, it is not necessarily correct. After all, it varies from person to person."
"Also," Jiang Yun said meaningfully, "even if someone tells you, how do you know whether it's true or false?"
Jiang Yun's words made Lin Xian's face change slightly.
It seems that superpowers are much more complicated than he imagined.
Everyone's evolutionary path is different. Even if it is the same superpower, someone may succeed by chance, but he himself may not be able to tell how he got there.
Unless an organization has the ability to conduct large amounts of data collection, testing, and experimentation, it may be difficult to even distinguish true from false by relying on inquiries, let alone success.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
The upgrade of his own Mechanical Heart was very clear, the only problem was that its combat effectiveness was slightly lacking.
So the goal he set for himself was to armor himself, and if given the chance, it would be possible for him to turn himself into Iron Man.
After all, the Dragon Nation Interstellar Army itself has the technology of full-coverage external armor, but he has no chance to come into contact with such a thing now, and only knows about it from previous media information and KIKI's mouth.
Not to mention the AI system, if we can get to this stage, it would be great if we could create a fighter girl...
Thinking too far...
"I have a team member who should have a physical enhancement ability. He is very strong. If anyone has information about him, you can trade with me."
Lin Xian tried to test the superpowers of the building. As for whether it was true or not, he could only rely on his own feeling. If he could help the building or KIKI evolve their superpowers, it would definitely greatly improve the survival rate of their small team.
As for KIKI's telekinetic ability, Lin Xian did not reveal it directly, so as not to attract a lot of surprised looks.
Although everyone appears to be friendly on the surface, one must always be reserved in front of others and behind their backs.
"Body-enhancing ability?"
"I've seen it, and I've heard about it," the woman named Shuqin said, "but I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't know if it's useful. I heard that this ability may require the absorption of extremely heavy blood and energy, and it can only evolve when one is on the verge of death."
She shrugged.
"I just said it casually. I don't want to exchange anything with you. You need to judge whether it is useful or not."
This matter involved life and death, and she couldn't be sure of anything, nor did she seem to want to trade it.
When Lin Xian and KIKI heard this, their faces changed.
"Near death?"
"In fact, this information is also worth referring to," said a man in his fifties in the crowd with a gloomy face, "No matter whether it is announced by the Phoenix Society or spread among the wanderers, almost all superpowers cannot escape three things. One is a certain item, the second is some kind of change related to the body and mentality, and the last is some specific conditions."
"Yes."
Jiang Yun also said, "From most of the information I know so far, no ability can be easily evolved."
"I understand." Lin Xian nodded and gave everyone a grateful look.
He thought of Tang Hai that night. Although it sounds simple, if one has to be bitten to death by zombies in order to evolve, and the early superpowers do not have any special manifestations, then who would deliberately bleed themselves to be eaten by zombies?
"Okay, let's continue."
Seeing Lin Xian in deep thought, Jiang Yun asked the others to continue speaking in turn.
Lin Xian and KIKI were discussing in a low voice in the corner.
"Red Bean, the Soul Value Detector, should be able to handle it. It seems that the evolution of superpowers is not that simple..."
"I don't think you need to worry about this at all." KIKI raised the corner of her mouth. "As long as we can keep the information transmitted to the outside world, these secrets will appear in the survivors' field of vision sooner or later. Didn't I say that the Angel Project has been conducting research in this area? As long as I am given another chance to hack in... Hehe." Lin Xian looked at the little girl with a cunning face and smiled. "How to hack? Use radio?"
"Hey!" KIKI's eyes lit up. "By the way, the Dawn Project was once one of the federal government's assets. It must have devices that connect to orbital satellites, and there may be a lot of information. And isn't the No. 9 underground city right near Mount Daluo? Do you think we should make a plan?"
Premeditated...
Why does this word sound so strange?
But KIKI's words also made Lin Xian's heart move. KIKI also has the identity of a second-level investor in the Dawn Plan. Moreover, before entering Yubei City, they have to cross the northern foot of Daluo Mountain from the Congshan Mountains. Although it is a bit far, this sounds like a good opportunity.
An officially built dungeon must have advanced electronic equipment, communication devices, and so on!
"Do you want to go?" KIKI looked eager to try. "I am a second-class investor, which is more valuable than a first-class citizen~"
"I have an idea." Lin Xian took a deep breath, "But there is a problem."
"what is the problem?"
"Have you forgotten what they just said? There may be some strange area or big strange body in the Daluo Mountain area. We are facing the polar night tide and some scary corpse chaser. Do we have the time to go there?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on KIKI's face froze, his expression changed, and he shrank his neck in fear.
"Um... this"
"But I'm a little curious. From the day of the Apocalypse until now, I've never heard of any official announcement about the Dawn Project. People here don't seem to know that there is such a large underground city project nearby. Don't you find it strange?"
KIKI curled her lips when she heard that and replied, "It's very simple. Because resources are limited and the construction period is extremely short, this project has never considered the life and death of ordinary people since the project was established. All those who are selected for the dungeon quota are invited by invitation and have to pay a certain price. How can such a project be announced to the public?"
Hearing this, Lin Xian smiled helplessly.
I see……
The so-called Dawn Project is actually an emergency shelter for the powerful. No wonder all construction projects are carried out in secret. When the Star Abyss was just formed before the polar night, the news about the Dawn Project basically came from some groundless leaked information.
"It's the end of the world, and we've already dug down to Underground City No. 9, but they're still able to keep it a secret. They're damn efficient..."
"So the federal government collapsed after the polar night. But since my dad took me with him, it means that Underground City No. 9 must be operational and habitable now."
Lin Xian nodded and said in a deep voice, "So, this Underground City No. 9 can no longer be considered official. It can only be considered a former government project, and it is not open to civilians. Except for you, the rest of us should not be able to enter."
"Who cares? Maybe everyone inside has died a long time ago. Even if there are still people, our goal is not to go in and become underground citizens." KIKI smiled slyly, put her hands on her hips and said, "People here don't treat civilians as human beings, so why should we be polite to them?"
Lin Xian frowned and looked at her with a half-smile.
"You mean, we are going to a giant underground city to get something for free?"
"Hehe, it would be a waste if you don't go."
KIKI excitedly raised her eyebrows at him with a meaningful smile on her face. "There must be all kinds of cutting-edge technology equipment inside, and there must be heavy mechas for defense. To maintain a huge underground city, there must be a nuclear power plant, and maybe some kind of space propulsion system. Don't you want to rush your train into the sky? This is a great opportunity."
Lin Xian was stunned as he saw her eager look on her face. He had to admit that what this little girl said really touched him.
For his mechanical heart, this was indeed a great opportunity to upgrade the train before entering orbit.
"Well, we'll discuss the details after we get back. Let's take care of things here first."
Lin Xian took a deep breath.
KIKI said excitedly, "Yeah!"
In front of the campfire, the captains of more than a dozen caravans communicated with each other about the supplies and issues they needed. As a transaction, everyone would give each other what they needed. Two caravans even reached a temporary consensus and merged together to flee eastward together.
