Chapter 207 Into the Night
It was raining heavily under the gloomy sky.

The outline of Yu Town merged with the skyline under a cloud of burning black smoke.

On the train, the atmosphere was tense yet exciting.

For everyone, this was the first time since the Apocalypse that they had actively and directly killed the strange entity. The oppressive feeling of fleeing for months seemed to be released at this moment, and the original gloomy and dull feeling in the carriage disappeared for the most part.

But everyone knew that now was not the time to rest. It was almost night, and there might be another siege by strange entities like last night. Shuqin could not relax for a moment and started to prepare ammunition with everyone.

The previous wave of fighting almost used up 8% of the ammunition on the vehicle, and the ammunition chain of the 1130 close-in weapon system was also used up. Fortunately, this powerful weapon was able to directly block the giant monster louse on the hillside outside the platform.

Lin Xian was also busy at this time. He took Dalou and Shasha to quickly manufacture bullets in carriage No. 5, and then distributed the supplies to deal with what might happen next.

In carriage No. 2, KIKI was responsible for monitoring the situation of the entire car. At the same time, Ding Junyi and Chen Sixuan were also paying attention to the information in the dark radio station.

"Zizi..."

"Zizi..."

"Federation...Phoenix Radio is reporting globally that the dark tidal boundary of Star Abyss No. 3 will converge with Star Abyss No. 36 in Quancheng, Tagan Desert and Quancheng in 5 days. Survivors who are migrating in the northeast direction please flee in time. Phoenix has set up stations in Xilan and Quancheng to provide assistance. The tidal boundary of Star Abyss No. 7 will converge with Star Abyss No. 29 in Weihe, Longjiang, Jinhai in 5 days. Survivors who are migrating eastward toward Xingcheng, Kangcheng and Yongcheng Port please flee in time. Phoenix has set up stations in Jinhai and Yongcheng Port to provide assistance..."

"The Federal Radio Station in the Yunjiang Plain area reported that the Night Walker Investigation Team recently discovered the whereabouts of an S-level strange entity deep in the heart of the Parma Grassland..."

"Zizizi... The Phoenix Federation is announcing to the world that the current location of the Dawn Center is the northern foot of the Yun'an Mountains, with coordinates of 116.3913447°, 39.9053937°. The Dawn Center will arrive at Tianji in three days..."

"The Phoenix Federation is notifying the world that further investigation by the Night Walker Organization has found that long-term exposure to darkness may increase the probability of darkness infection. It is recommended that adult survivors should not stay in darkness for 48 consecutive hours, and the elderly, injured, or those with long-term hereditary diseases should not stay in darkness for more than 24 hours."

"We can't stay in the dark for long. It seems that the theory of the night invasion has been basically confirmed." Lin Xian walked into carriage No. 2: "Regarding the matter of the [Dark Mark], if there really are no large-scale strange entities appearing after entering the dark, we can confirm this logic, and the next step is to find the people from the Phoenix Society."

"Does it mean that the longer we stay in the dark, the faster our abilities will evolve?" KIKI suddenly had an idea for the first time.
Ding Junyi said directly after hearing this, "If you regard the dark invasion as the inducement of evolutionary power, then you can understand it this way."

"But from the logic of biology, there must be some kind of biological limit threshold. For example, plants need to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic matter and store energy through photosynthesis. This does not mean that plants will photosynthesize 24 hours a day. In fact, plants also have a regular schedule. They photosynthesize during the day to generate energy, and respire at night to consume energy and release carbon dioxide. If they are exposed to the sun for 24 hours, their growth pattern will be disrupted and they will die."

"What's more, the energy of this dark invasion is unknown, and the harm it will cause to the human body is also unknown. Only advent sects like Divine Revelation would regard the energy of the dark invasion as a treasure for human evolution."

Lin Xian couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "It sounds like the strange body needs darkness, and humans need sunlight. The Dark Tide is going to cover the entire world in polar night, so if we want to defeat this monster in the dark, we may have to look for the answer not only in the dark, but also in the daytime."

Lin Xian's words made Ding Junyi's face change. She looked at Lin Xian motionlessly for a long time, as if she was thinking about this question seriously, and then walked away and went to carriage No. 3.

"It seems you have reminded her," Chen Sixuan said, looking at Ding Junyi's reaction.

"If only it were that simple." Lin Xian shrugged and looked at Chen Sixuan: "Teacher Chen, get ready, we're about to set off."

There were still more than ten minutes left before dark. Lin Xian didn't want to wait until dark for the strange body to appear before slowly setting off. It would be best to speed up in advance. Even if he encountered any situation, he could use the high speed advantage of the train to rush out.

Chen Sixuan nodded, a little puzzled: "I thought you would test it here first." "No, there are too many corpses here. If we want to make a comparison, we'd better go to an open place."

"You do have some experimental spirit." KIKI glanced at him and said with a smile: "It seems that Director Ding has had a great influence on you."

"It should be rigorous and rigorous."

Lin Xian said helplessly: "This concerns the lives of so many people. If this is confirmed, our future risks will be much smaller."

"When you say it's much smaller, do you mean that if you encounter a strange body and don't run away, you have to stop and kill it?" KIKI sat cross-legged on the chair, slowly floating up, looking at Lin Xian with interest: "Have you ever thought that even if you know about the Dark Mark, do other survivors have the ability to solve it?"

"You misunderstood."

Lin Xian said with a serious expression: "When encountering an invincible existence, running is definitely the first factor, but knowing the existence mark of the night creatures, the survivors have an additional choice. If they ignore everything and flee all the way, this mark will be like a chain reaction, pushing the situation to an unbearable situation. If it is just some C-level weird bodies, more people may choose to fight back, and partial casualties or complete annihilation is a choice. Of course, I don’t think every survivor will encounter an S-level weird body, but like in Yubei City, all the marks are concentrated, and all kinds of monsters from heaven and earth are coming. This is the most desperate."

"So the best survival strategy is to kill the first hunter and then go back into silence. This way we may be much safer in the dark."

KIKI frowned and thought about it, then nodded meaningfully: "That's insightful~"

Lin Xian said no more, and directly started the Infinity and began to move out. Then he and Chen Sixuan walked into the cockpit together.

"Are there not enough bullets?"

"Just barely enough, we won't be able to use it at 1130:." Lin Xian frowned and urged the train to speed up: "There's not much time left, we have to take a gamble now."

Lin Xian's physical strength had run out at this time. The corpse of the large parasite was still burning on the hillside. He didn't want to stay in this place any longer. He had to leave Yu Town and test whether the [Mark] had been cleared.

Wow!
Infinity began to gradually accelerate, driving out of the valley in the heavy rain and heading towards the main orbit around the planet.

Along the way, Lin Xian saw some body parts and pieces of flesh on the tracks, which seemed to be left behind when they rushed out last night.

Drop drop, drop drop.

The alarm on the watch rang, and Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan's expressions changed at the same time. The lights of the Infinity were turned on, and the two looked forward with serious eyes, their hearts lifted.

Inside the carriage, everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the tide to come.

hum!
A mysterious light flickered in the sky.

The sky, which was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain just now, was suddenly covered by a layer of black sky. The sky suddenly became dark, and the mountains and forests beside the track suddenly became pitch black. Only the outlines of some trees could be seen.

At this moment, Lin Xian even stopped breathing for a moment.
