Chapter 193 Mark
Chapter 193 Mark
In carriage No. 5, the Growler K23 electric rotary machine gun in Dalou's hand had already run out of bullets, and the barrel was red. He picked up the original M556 light machine gun and continued firing.
Lu Xingchen stood in the middle of the carriage, opened the automatic door a crack, and continuously sprayed flames outward, igniting a large number of trees along the way!
In the cockpit ahead, Lin Xian, KIKI and Chen Sixuan were all puzzled when they heard Ding Junyi's words.
"Stop, why?"
Ding Junyi did not hesitate to pick up the mobile terminal and show Lin Xian the changes of Hell Black Chrysanthemum that had just been recorded on it.
"It's still unclear why those parasites are attracted to the No. 1 Blood Plague Plant, but I think I've found the reason for the change in the red light on it."
Lin Xian's eyes narrowed as he saw on the screen that the red light on the Hell Black Chrysanthemum actually increased dramatically at a certain point, visibly to the naked eye!
Ding Junyi said anxiously: "Since the laboratory records began, the No. 1 blood disaster plant has brightened three times, weakened once, and turned red three times, which were when we escaped from the No. 1 underground city, from the Yubei Airport, and from the Rain Town just now!"
"Although such sampling standards are not enough to draw rigorous experimental conclusions, it is a matter of life and death right now, so I boldly make a guess based on the group hunting effect. That is, these dark creatures will mark the prey they don't kill with some kind of invisible mark that we can't see. The red light reaction on the Hell Black Chrysanthemum is the concrete manifestation of this mark, just like the smell of blood in the forest, which will cause us to become the target of more strange creatures in the dark night."
"This mark may be the way dark creatures communicate. Another possibility is that the larger the strange body, the deeper the mark will be. If Yubei City can be explained by the group hunting effect, then we just came out of Yuzhen without adding any personnel. As soon as we left the territory of Yuzhen, the red light of the black chrysanthemum changed. At the same time, we were immediately besieged by a large number of dark creatures. So I think if we keep running away, this mark will reach a certain level, and we may encounter the situation that the Fireline Convoy encountered... annihilation!"
Ding Junyi finished speaking in one breath, her eyes flickering slightly. With her rigorous personality, it was not easy for her to come up with such a conclusion that was full of subjective tendencies. She also knew that if her argument was wrong and was adopted by her teammates, it would most likely lead to the destruction of the entire car!
After listening to her, the solemn expressions on Lin Xian and the other two's faces deepened. Lin Xian frowned and said, "So you think the purpose of this Hell Black Chrysanthemum is to remind us humans?"
Ding Junyi said: "Not completely, but this plant can absorb dark energy, which is enough to show that disaster plant No. 1 has the ability to perceive dark energy. Based on this theory, the mark of dark creatures must be a kind of energy, but this is only one of them. Its other functions may have to wait for me to take samples to test..."
"Director Ding!!"
Lin Xian looked solemn, and suddenly shouted to stop her argument: "Stop talking nonsense and get straight to the conclusion!"
There was continuous gunfire outside the vehicle, and countless strange creatures swarmed over. The armored plates of the entire vehicle were undergoing severe tests all the time. Lin Xian was already extremely anxious, and in this situation he had no patience to listen to Ding Junyi's analytical logic.
Lin Xian's shout made Ding Junyi tremble all over. She looked at Lin Xian and opened her mouth in surprise, then her brows furrowed and she said quickly: "There are two ways. The first is to stop the train and get rid of all the weird bodies around it. Kill them all and clear the marks. The second is to return to Yu Town and get rid of the big parasite and other parasitic pseudo-humans. I suggest that we choose the second option, because from a biological point of view, creatures that need to use traps usually do not have strong defense capabilities or the ability to escape natural enemies. They are particularly vulnerable in nature, so they need to use traps or disguises to increase their chances of survival. The big parasite needs to hunt through division and reproduction and pseudo-human deception, and has a fixed territory, which means that its immediate combat threat level is not necessarily higher than the weird bodies in the dark night for humans. The troubles we are facing now are still endless. Compared with this, the success rate of plan number two will be higher. I'm done!"
After hearing this, KIKI and Chen Sixuan were both in disbelief. They quickly looked at Lin Xian and saw that his expression was also extremely solemn.
As the leader of the team, every decision he makes will directly affect the survival of the team. Ding Junyi's inference at this time brought hope to the team while undoubtedly giving Lin Xian an almost crazy choice.
Lin Xian's brain was working rapidly at this time. His intuition told him that Ding Junyi's inference about [Mark] was most likely correct. This not only explained the group hunting effect, but also explained the changes of Hell Black Chrysanthemum after leaving Yu Town. More importantly, Lin Xian had always had such a suspicion.
The white giant monster came out of Jiang City, chased the red centipede from Yushan to Beiwan, encountered the sky jellyfish after escaping from the No. 9 underground city, and was immediately besieged by the entire car after escaping from the siege of the strange body in Yubei!
Including the Iron Guard Brigade, the huge atmospheric mica chased all the way from Daluo Mountain to Yubei Airport. Hunter, Mark, and the red light of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum became concrete at this moment, and it seemed to make perfect sense!
He even recalled that when he was chatting with KIKI last night, she had mentioned that the team had no choice but to run away. The more they ran, the more monsters there were and the stronger they were. It was as if they were being targeted and the monsters in the dark had issued a bounty order...
Team expansion is only an appearance. The greater hidden danger is the [mark] on the team, which constantly amplifies the danger in the dark. If we follow this theory, if we want to be safer at night, the best way is to deal with the monsters we encounter and then enter a silent state.
This is actually very counter-intuitive. Many people will not think about it this way at first, or will not have the opportunity to think about it in this way, that is: dark creatures have the ability to communicate.
And this kind of communication is the mark of a hunter!
squeak!
In an instant, the Infinity train suddenly slammed on the brakes. Many of the strange creatures that had crashed into the train fell off the train due to inertia, and a tidal wave of attacks began to come from the side carriages.
Everyone held on tightly to the car around them. Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian. Stopping the car at this time meant that Lin Xian had already made his choice.
Woo!
The motor engine roared, and before anyone could catch their breath, the train had already started moving in the opposite direction!
"Lin Xian!" Chen Sixuan shouted.
"Let's go back!" Lin Xian looked at Ding Junyi: "I think Director Ding is right."
Ding Junyi's eyes were burning at this moment. She said nothing, nodded at Lin Xian, then turned and walked towards carriage No. 3.
As a scientific researcher, the only support she can provide is information and knowledge, and as a member of the team, this is what she must do.
The entire train suddenly ran in the opposite direction, which caught everyone on the train by surprise.
At this time, Lin Xian's voice came from the communicator in the car.
"Everyone get ready, we are about to return to Yu Town. Don't save bullets, kill all threats you encounter!"
"Got it." Shu Qin didn't know Lin Xian's intention, but she had no doubts about Lin Xian's arrangement.
"Okay, Brother Lin." Sasha's voice also came.
"I understand. Do you want to open the door and go out to fight?" Lu Xingchen's voice came, and it seemed that the fight was not very satisfying.
"We'll see what happens." Lin Xian said decisively. At this time, he urged the train to run at full speed and broke through the obstacles at the rear. Fortunately, he specially built a double layer of armor on the Gemini 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive, which has strong protection. Except for the lack of an ice-breaking shield, the impact force is still very strong.
Although he didn't know whether Blue Star's biological theories were applicable to those dark creatures, since he chose to believe Ding Junyi, Lin Xian did not hesitate at all. He already had a plan in his mind.
