Chapter 277: Pre-dawn Attack (1 Explosions!)
Ding Junyi frowned: "Is anyone injured?"

"It is said that three people were injured. Mr. Guo has been sent to the medical cabin. He has saved his life." Wei Kexue took off his black-framed glasses and wiped them as he walked. "The pressure from the monster tide attacking the front line is very high. The command center is worried that it may be a riot of some strange body group. So they are very concerned about the experiment we are conducting now. They want to know if there are any special circumstances."

"If it's just a dark mark, according to the current situation, there should be no possibility of a high-level mark appearing, otherwise it wouldn't be so peaceful these two days."

Ding Junyi said as she walked: "But the command center wants to obtain other information from this mark. There are currently no signs at all."

"But it's weird."

Wei Kexue said, "We have conducted so many control tests on the twenty or so snow demon test subjects captured on the front line. Why didn't they show Professor Ding's previous test parameters at all? And test subject No. 13 went berserk for no apparent reason this time. Could it be related to the environment?"

“This is also what confuses me the most.”

Ding Junyi's face was grim. The two of them walked quickly to a building next door and pushed open the door of a room. It was already crowded with people. Some were standing and some were sitting on the ground. They were all researchers from the scientific research team and the Emperor Team. The medical staff of the Phoenix Society were bandaging and cleaning the wounds of several injured people. Guo Sicheng was lying on a temporary bed at this time. His cold-proof clothes were tattered and stained with blood. He looked a little anxious.

In addition, there were several soldiers from the Survey Corps. A burly soldier stood aside. When he saw Ding Junyi and Wei Kexue walk in, he turned around and saluted.

"Captain He, what's going on?"

He Zhen is the chief of the Seventh Survey Corps. He has a square face and his brows are always furrowed, making him look like someone who is not easy to mess with.

However, those who are familiar with him know that Captain He is usually very easy-going towards his subordinates and people from other brother departments, but on the battlefield, he is a decisive person.

"Hey, I can't stop him. My head is about to explode. And I still have to rush to the laboratory." He Zhen looked at his assistant next to him: "Xiao He, tell me the situation."

"Yes."

Xiao He was a young soldier. Upon hearing this, he immediately said to Wei Kexue and Ding Junyi, "Professor Guo and Team Leader Yu were going to give Subject No. 13 an electric shock to test the release reaction of the Dark Mark. As a result, the monster suddenly ran away, bit off its hands and feet, broke free from the shackles, and attacked the experimenters. Fortunately, we arrived in time."

"Bitten off limbs?" Ding Junyi frowned when she heard this, and then looked at the other injured researchers and said, "This is not the first time we have used electric shock stimulation. Why did this happen? Did we miss something?"

The dusty old men looked at each other and shook their heads.

“The standards are the same.”

"The shock voltage hasn't changed either..."

"Yes!" At this time, Professor Guo, who was lying on the bed beside him, struggled to sit up. Wei Kexue saw this and hurried over to help Professor Guo up: "Teacher, what's going on?"

Professor Guo raised his glasses, which had half of the lenses broken, and said anxiously, "Because the receptor didn't respond, Professor Zhang and I discussed changing the test distance. As a result, the monster didn't change no matter how we stimulated it. But when we brought the disaster plant closer, something suddenly happened. So I suspect that the monster has a special sense for the disaster plant."

"Professor Guo, don't get excited. The internal bleeding has not yet healed completely." The medical staff at the side held him down urgently.

"Teacher!" Wei Kexue quickly asked Guo Sicheng to lie down: "Listen to the doctor and don't move."

"But... there is one thing that is very strange. When subject No. 13 went berserk, the other dozen or so went into frenzy almost at the same time. It's just that they were all locked in isolation cabins, so they didn't escape. But they were all very far away." The man whom Mr. Guo called Professor Zhang was a middle-aged Mediterranean researcher with a weathered face. He was also injured in the attack and looked very embarrassed.

Ding Junyi's expression was slightly stern. She suddenly remembered that when she was in Yu Town before, the fake person who sneaked into the train was originally planning to attack the team members on the train. It was because of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum that she escaped. At that time, she noticed the special reaction of the strange body to the disaster plant.

She looked at the room full of embarrassed researchers and her heart sank. She had originally thought that the research after cooperating with the Phoenix Society would go very smoothly. After all, she had already deduced the results to the last step.

Moreover, Wei Kexue and Yu Yuheng also directly used her experimental parameters to design a calculation formula. As long as they use the reaction of the regional black chrysanthemum to reverse the process and then use the ultra-pure germanium detector to capture it, they will be able to find the truth about the dark mark with a high probability.

But what is strange is that the Phoenix Society conducted multiple control experiments using the captured strange bodies, but the dark mark never appeared once, and the Hell Black Chrysanthemum did not react at all.

This extremely abnormal phenomenon made Ding Junyi feel incredible.

He Zhen checked the time and immediately said to Ding Junyi, "Professor Ding, you mentioned that you need more test subjects for group experiments. Can you give me a clear number? I will immediately organize a special team to capture them."

"Yes..." Guo Sicheng, lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, weakly agreed: "I have carefully studied Professor Ding's experimental parameters. This kind of snow monster may have a relatively small impact on individuals. It does require..."

boom! !

Just as everyone was discussing, there was a loud noise like a landslide. The ground shook, the walls in the room fell off madly, and the lights flickered, as if there was a huge explosion.

"Xiao He, Li Luo! Protect the scientists!!!"

Amid the shock, He Zhen was the first to react and immediately ordered his men to protect the researchers in the room.

As layers of ashes fell, he looked up and found that Ding Junyi had actually rushed out at this time, and he immediately followed.

The two rushed out of the corridor one after the other. At this time, He Zhen and Ding Junyi were shocked to find that the corridor on the floor in front of them was completely broken, and more than half of the building B of the experimental building next door had disappeared. Instead, what appeared before them was a giant abyss worm that drilled out from the ground and towered above the ground like a mountain, like a giant black cylindrical high-rise building!
And that half of the building was actually swallowed up by it!
"careful!"

He Zhen grabbed Ding Junyi. Ding Junyi looked panicked at the moment because Hell Black Chrysanthemum was still in that building!

"Strange entities attack the inner city!"

After dragging Ding Junyi back, He Zhen immediately led his men to rush out. In an instant, countless gunshots and air defense alarms suddenly rang out in the quiet Xilan City.

Large spotlights shone over, and everyone could clearly see the giant worm that drilled out of the ground. The black body of the worm looked like a hard concrete mountain under the blizzard. The experimental building next to it exposed broken floor slabs and reinforced concrete, and short-circuited wires kept flashing.

Da da da, bang bang bang!
In a short period of time, the firepower increased from weak to strong, and all kinds of guns and cannons began to bombard the abyss worms.

Ang hum!!
The ruins collapsed, and the abyss worms made a deafening buzzing sound, and even the earth was shaking.

In an instant, almost all the survivors in Xilan City were awakened at this moment, and the lights of thousands of convoys in the Central Street area lit up quickly and radiated like ripples.

"What happened?!"

"Strange entity attacks!!"

"Where?"

"Inside the city."

"The air raid sirens sounded..."

"Quick, pack up the guys."

"Attention all teams..."

woo woo woo...

At the Chengbei Airport, the aviation combat formation took off immediately after receiving the order. Various fighter planes were parked on the apron. The huge floating engines of the Dreadnought-class aerospace carrier had begun to warm up. The entire airport was filled with pilots and ground crew running around.

On the streets, large tanks and towing cannons were being dispatched in large numbers towards the university.

At this time, at Xilan University of Technology, the abyss worm that had swallowed up half of the building rushed out of the ground dozens of meters. Countless artillery fire bombarded the worm, and a large amount of worm meat tissue continued to fall.

But just a few minutes later, the giant black insect emitted a huge underground earthquake and began to shrink violently. With a loud bang, it quickly shrank back into the ground with a large amount of smoke and dust and disappeared.

Just when the entire Xilan City thought it had suffered a huge attack, the abyss worm left mysteriously, and the city soon became quiet.

Not only that, even on the front lines of the demon-proof city walls in the east and south of the city, the fighting had quietly ceased, and even the groups of snow monsters that had been continuously attacking the city walls had stopped.

North city freight rail platform.

Lin Xian, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the sharp air defense alarm and seismic waves. Outside the maintenance carriage, the Infinity team members who were carrying out repairs and upgrades also stopped what they were doing, and everyone's face changed drastically.

"This sound seems to be coming from Central Street."

"Yes, was he attacked?"

snort~
The next moment, Lin Xian, KIKI, Chen Sixuan, Shu Qin, Lu Xingchen and other backbone members of Infinity, including Shi Diyuan, Ning Jing, Lu Yong and others from Longshan No. 1, also rushed off the train.

"What's going on? It's almost dawn and something's wrong?" Shi Diyuan asked in a hurry. "Abai, Chen Dong, go up and investigate."

Wow, in the Longshan No. 1 team, a winged mutant immediately took Abai and rushed into the sky.

Lin Xian also glanced at KIKI and Chen Sixuan at this time. The two nodded, and KIKI also took Chen Sixuan with him for aerial reconnaissance.

High in the sky, Chen Sixuan took out Meteorite No. 3 and captured the source of the shock.

"It's at the University of Technology!"

Chen Sixuan's face changed, and she immediately said to Lin Xian after landing.

"It's a big bug. The monster's breath is very strong." On the other side, Abai said nervously.

Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan's eyes met, and everyone realized something.

At this moment, the air raid sirens suddenly stopped.

"The alarm has been cleared?"

"KIKI, take me over there to have a look." Lin Xian picked up the black gun and prepared to leave without saying a word.

"Teacher Shuqin Chen, everyone on guard."

"Okay." Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian with a worried look on her face, thinking that he had been busy all night and something happened immediately without even 10 minutes of rest. Moreover, she knew that was where Director Ding was, and she was also very anxious at this moment.

Lin Xian and KIKI had already flown high into the sky, rapidly heading towards Xilan University of Technology.

"Let's go and check out the situation. Old Lu, you stay here!" Shi Diyuan immediately called Ning Jing and Abai and rushed to the scene.

At this time, the playground and streets outside the experimental building of Xilan University of Technology were filled with various tanks and cannons, and thousands of soldiers from the Survey Corps were surrounding them on alert and on standby.

A huge deep pit with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared under the foundation of Experimental Building B. Countless searchlights were searching downwards. Only a small half of the building next to it was left swaying in the air. Various tables, chairs, documents, and experimental equipment kept falling down...

hum.

At this time, a large snowmobile came speeding over, the door opened, and a tall middle-aged man in a thick windbreaker jumped off the tracks in two steps and walked quickly on the road covered with dirty snow.

Wen Zhuo and a dozen other Spark Group Night Walkers followed behind him.

The middle-aged man had a gaunt face, eyes like an eagle, and his whole body exuded a rock-like calmness.

The general manager of Phoenix Society Xilan, Zhao Yu.

"Where's He Zhen?"

Zhao Yu looked at the non-commissioned officer beside him and spoke in a stern voice.

"Reporting to Manager Zhao, Captain He is over there." The sergeant handed over a mobile terminal as he walked, reporting real-time information.

"The building collapsed. When the attack occurred, Professor Guo and Professor Zhang were transferred to the medical center in Building A for treatment, so their lives are not in danger. However, more than 30 people were still working in Building B, and only a few have been rescued so far."

Zhao Yu took it and turned to Wen Zhuo and said
"Spark Team."

"Yes."

Wen Zhuo's face was cold, and he immediately ordered his men: "Jingtian, Wang Mocheng, follow me."

Swish!
With a single move of his hand, Wen Zhuo pulled out two metal pillars from his body and threw them backwards. Immediately, he flew into the air. Behind him, two Night Walkers, one tall and one short, grabbed the suspended metal pillars respectively and followed him into the air.

Magnetron system!
buzz~
The various broken steel bars exposed on the ground began to tremble and hum under Wen Zhuo's special ability, and quickly flew out towards the abyss of the cave with the three people.

At the same time, in the remaining half of the experimental building, He Zhen was personally leading people to rescue the survivors.

Wei Kexue and Ding Junyi were standing behind the rescue team, feeling a little overwhelmed.

At this time, several soldiers rescued a researcher covered in ashes from the tilted building. Wei Kexue rushed over nervously when he saw him.

"Teacher Wang, where are Professor You and the others?"

The researcher's face was covered in blood, and his mouth and nose were full of dust. Seeing Wei Kexue, he waved his hands angrily and said, "They... they fell down. They are all gone."

Wei Kexue's face turned pale when he heard this, and he was shaking all over. There were more than twenty scientific researchers in that room.

"Where are Team Leader Yu and the others? Aren't they still in there?"

"Team Leader Yu is here!!!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao He and several soldiers rushed out from the rubble and dust at the back, protecting a dusty man. When they looked, they found that it was Yu Yuheng. Not only that, he was holding a transparent cultivation cabin in his arms, and inside it was the Hell Black Chrysanthemum!

When Ding Junyi saw it, she was shocked and hurried over with Wei Kexue.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yu Yuheng, who rushed out in a panic, was holding the Zaizhi tightly. As soon as he saw Ding Junyi, he immediately handed it to her: "When I left... the measuring instrument was on. I noticed that the Zaizhi still didn't change."

Xiao He, who was in charge of the rescue, looked at everyone and said, "We rescued him, but he insisted on rushing back to get this thing out, saying it was a very important item."

Wei Kexue nodded repeatedly upon seeing this, and said to He Zhen in a panic, "Yes, yes, this is very important. Finding the attack pattern of the dark creatures depends entirely on it."

He Zhen pondered and nodded. At this time, he heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw Zhao Yu coming quickly with a group of people.

"Old Zhao."

"He Zhen, what's the situation?"

He Zhen frowned and said, "I was here just now. Without any warning, the monster suddenly emerged from underground and attacked the experimental building. There should be more than 9 people working in Building A, but only have been rescued so far."

He pointed at Wei Kexue and Ding Junyi and said, "There was an attack in the laboratory before. Professor Guo and Professor Zhang were injured and were transferred to the infirmary over here. They have escaped a disaster."

Wow~
At this time, Wen Zhuo and his two companions who were investigating in the cave flew over.

"It has already run away. We dare not chase it too deep. We are not sure if it is the one in the Ice Valley reported by the Emperor Team before." Wen Zhuo reported to Zhao Yu.

Yu Yuheng stood up with a dusty face and said tremblingly: "Yes, it's that one. I noticed that the insect has scars left when we evacuated before!!"

When the abyss worm suddenly rose up, Yu Yuheng was standing by the door. He heard a loud noise. When he turned around, he found that the whole building and his colleagues behind him disappeared in an instant. This horrific scene like hell almost made him lose his balance. But at that moment, Yu Yuheng saw a thick through hole in the black worm's body and a burning crack that was cut by Abai's laser beam.

So he concluded that this giant worm was the abyss worm they encountered in the Tracamar Ice Valley!
Hearing Yu Yuheng's words, He Zhen's face darkened: "A-level strange body suddenly attacked here, Lao Zhao, this is not a good sign."

Zhao Yu's face darkened as he looked forward. The huge hole exposed on the surface made a humming sound under the howling cold wind. The people from the Phoenix Society were organizing the evacuation of the remaining scientific researchers in the experimental building and urgently moving the experimental equipment.

"Report."

At this time, Zhao Yu's communicator received a report from his subordinates: "Manager Zhao, many leaders of large caravans in the city have arrived. There are more and more people, hundreds of them now."

"Let the Phoenix Order convoy in."

"Yes."

Lin Xian did not expect that the first use of the Crimson Phoenix Order would actually work here. Hundreds of convoys began to rush here, wanting to understand the situation, but in the end, only less than ten convoys were allowed to enter the Industrial University.

As a cooperative team of the Phoenix Order, they represent strength and recognition. In times of crisis like this, they can serve as role models among the survivors and conduct joint operations with the Phoenix Order.

Among these people, only Lin Xian and KIKI flew here empty-handed, while the others were riding in vehicles. More than a dozen vehicles of various types drove into the university square with the permission of the guards.

In addition to Shi Diyuan, Qian Dele and Lin Xian, the other people who got off the cars were also leaders, including Han Jun and Lu Feng from the Arctic Wind Alliance, and Qin Xueming from the Universe Team.

Lin Xian saw from afar the half-collapsed building and the huge deep pit under countless searchlights. His heart sank immediately, and he and KIKI hurried over. At a glance, they saw Ding Junyi and Wei Kexue standing among a group of soldiers, and Yu Yuheng who was in a dishevel.

"Captain Lin!" When Wei Kexue saw Lin Xian, he immediately called out and waved to him.

Hearing Wei Kexue's call, Zhao Yu, He Zhen and Wen Zhuo all turned their heads.

"You must be Lin Xian from the Infinite Team."

Zhao Yu walked out first and shook hands with him. "I'm Zhao Yu, the person in charge of Xilan City. This is He Zhen from the Seventh Survey Corps. This is the first time we meet, but I have read your information and heard about you from Wei Kexue."

Lin Xian shook hands with the two men with some surprise.

"Manager Zhao, Captain He, what happened?" Lin Xian looked at Ding Junyi and the Hell Black Chrysanthemum in her hand. The stone in his heart fell a little, and he asked immediately.

"An underground worm attacked the experimental building and ran away without any resistance. Its purpose is currently unknown." He Zhen said to him at this time.

"Yes! It's the breath of that monster!"

Before Zhao Yu could speak, Abai, who was walking behind Lin Xian with Shi Diyuan, started to speak. Although his voice was small, everyone here could hear it.

"Can he sense the breath of strange bodies and have supernatural powers?" Wen Zhuo, leader of the Night Walker Spark Group, couldn't help but frown. He remembered the data collected from the Phoenix Society, that Abai should belong to the category of strange eyes-laser rays, but he didn't know that he also had such an ability.

"Yes, he can sense the aura of strange bodies, including those on humans."

Shi Diyuan walked over quickly, shook hands with everyone, and said straight to the point: "I heard such a big commotion. I don't know what happened. Does the Phoenix Society need our assistance?"

"Longshan No. 1, Shi Diyuan, the holder of the Crimson Phoenix Order." Wen Zhuo introduced to Zhao Yu.

"Joker Team Qian Dele."

Zhao Yu nodded and pointed at Han Jun and others: "Captain Han Jun of the Arctic Wind Alliance, deputy captain Lu Feng, Captain Qin Xueming of the Universe Team, assistant A Long, Captain Zhang Tianfang of the Warrior Team, and Captain Chen Xiao of the Torch Alliance, they entered the city earlier than you. Everyone should get to know each other. We will need your support for the next evacuation."

"Nice to meet you."

Han Jun looked at Lin Xian, took a step forward and shook hands with him. At the same time, Lin Xian briefly got acquainted with several other team captains.

These were all holders of the Phoenix Order, which meant that the team was very powerful and was a representative among the thousands of teams in Xilan City. They had been recognized by the Phoenix Society and could cooperate to defend against the enemy in times of crisis.

"Since we all know each other, there's no need to waste time talking..."

Zhao Yu pointed to the huge pit behind him and said to Lin Xian, Shi Diyuan and Qian Dele, "A-level strange bodies attacked the inner city. Team leader Yu said that you encountered it in Trakama Ice Valley before."

"Correct."

Yu Yuheng, who was covered in dust, didn't even bother to brush off the dust on his body. He said, "I saw the scars that Captain Lin and Abai inflicted on that guy. It must be that guy." He clenched his trembling fists tightly while speaking, indicating that it was difficult for him to remain calm at this time.

"An A-level strange entity chased hundreds of miles to attack the laboratory?" The mechanical eye of Lv Feng's left eye beside Han Jun glowed slightly, constantly searching the damaged building, and asked with doubt: "What does this mean?"

"Already ran away?" Zhang Tianfang from the Warriors team looked relatively young, and was accompanied by two assistants.

"What are the casualties like?" Chen Xiao from the Torch Alliance also asked at this time.

Han Jun of the Arctic Wind Alliance glanced at Lin Xian, Shi Diyuan and others, and then looked at Zhao Yu: "It is said that the Phoenix Society's scientific research team has recently accelerated the research of a certain project, which may be related to the behavior patterns of dark creatures. Director Zhao, is this true?"

"Yes, our research team is currently working on a very special attack mode called Dark Mark. Basically, the strange entity hunts by marking the survivors with some kind of mark that we cannot detect, and this mark can be superimposed, so the survivors who are fleeing along the way will be attacked more and more severely until they are completely wiped out. It's like lighting a bonfire in the dark night to attract monsters."

Zhao Yu briefly explained the situation to everyone, then turned around and glanced at the group of scientists: "I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but I just received a notice that Mr. Guo was also injured. Wei Kexue, tell me what you think."

Wei Kexue raised his glasses nervously and said, "Based on the previous experimental data, if we combine our equipment and personnel to conduct a control experiment and reverse inference, we should be able to get results soon. But strangely, the dark mark has never appeared once, and we have used disaster plants to conduct sampling tests in some areas, and we have not found this mark."

Lin Xian and KIKI couldn't help but change color when these words were spoken. Lin Xian had previously thought that they had entered the city because of the war and their gravitational lens, so the mark was cleared, and other people in the city might have more or less dark marks, but the strange bodies were blocked outside the city by the Seventh Survey Corps, so the city was safe for the time being.

But after hearing what Wei Kexue said, there were no signs in the city?
You have to know that Xilan City has thousands of convoys and tens of thousands of people. These convoys come from all over the world. How is it possible that they can't find the marks?

Wei Kexue and Yu Yuheng looked at each other with complicated expressions, and then said, "This situation is very abnormal, so Professor Guo, Team Leader Yu, Professor Ding and I took turns using different measurement modes, and also conducted various biological stimulations on the experimental subjects, but the results..."

"Could it be that something went wrong with the experiment, or that it was inaccurate from the beginning?" Qin Xueming from the Space Fleet was a straightforward person and said immediately.

"No!" Wei Kexue and Yu Yuheng said almost at the same time.

Wei Kexue looked at Ding Junyi at this time, and said with a firm face: "Team Leader Yu, Mr. Guo, Mr. Zhang and I have repeatedly studied Professor Ding's research data. There is no problem with the prediction direction and observation results. Moreover, they used themselves as experimental subjects and experienced attacks by dark creatures in different regions as a reference. Even if it is a coincidence, it is impossible to have such a precise deduction and judgment without any error."

On the other side, Zhang Tianfang from the Warriors Team said, "Using the disaster plant test, are the results trustworthy?"

"This is the exact pattern that our entire convoy has found during our escape." Lin Xian said loudly at this time: "So of course I believe it."

"Okay." Zhang Tianfang said seriously: "According to what you said, your disaster plant did not detect the mark, so why was this place attacked by an A-level weird body?"

"Maybe there is more than one kind of mark. According to this theory, it can't explain the attack on our city before." Chen Xiao from the Torch Alliance was one of the first people to arrive in Xilan City. They had encountered attacks from strange bodies before, which caused casualties. In the end, they were suppressed by the joint efforts of various major convoys.

"Hey, the reason hasn't been found yet, how can you be sure that there is no explanation?" KIKI said dissatisfiedly when she heard the other party's words.

"No, no, no." Wei Kexue said to Chen Xiao at this time: "Killing the weird body will weaken or even eliminate this mark, but the problem now is..."

"In all the attacks by strange entities we have encountered in the past, including the Snow Monster Tide, people were directly marked. But this time, after we entered the city, all the marks disappeared. This is a very abnormal phenomenon, so we feel it is necessary for us to conduct group tests or even out-of-city tests to understand the monsters' purpose." Ding Junyi also spoke at this time.

All of a sudden, the scene fell into some kind of chaotic argument.

Lin Xian just felt dizzy and extremely tired at the moment. He had just been busy all night and was about to take a rest when a disaster suddenly occurred. Seeing the huge deep pit, Yu Yuheng was in a mess. At this time, he didn't even know the casualties of the scientists in the research team.

The strange appearance of this monster made Lin Xian feel powerless.

Why? What's the reason?
Is Ding Junyi's research wrong? That's impossible. If it weren't for Ding Junyi's theory, Infinity would not have survived in Xilan City.

At this moment, Lin Xian felt as if he was trapped in a fog.

Qian Dele, who was standing aside, looked quietly at Lin Xian with a sad face. Lin Xian had told him about the pattern of the dark mark in Tracamar Ice Valley. Although it could not be fully confirmed, Lin Xian's evacuation strategy, including the combined train to deal with the monster tide, must have been based on this judgment. On this point, he chose to support Lin Xian.

"Aren't we discussing the attack now?" Qian Dele interrupted the argument. He pointed to the huge pit in front of him and said, "Such a big monster attacked the laboratory. There must be a reason, right?"

"Could it be because there are strange creatures here? Didn't you just say that you captured a lot of strange creatures for research?" Qin Xueming from the Space Fleet said with his hands folded on his chest.

"Impossible." He Zhen, the head of the Survey Corps, stood up at this time: "We have captured too many. In addition to the laboratory, the weapons research institute needs a greater quantity, which is specially used to test weapons and defense materials. And there are in various areas, not just here."

Ning Jing also spoke up at this time: "Then what is the reason? The Industrial University is located in the center of the city. Such a precise attack on the experimental building can't be just a coincidence."

"I think……"

"All right!"

At this time, the discussion was interrupted by Zhao Yu's sharp voice. He looked at Ning Jing.

"You are right. This kind of monster will never attack the experimental building for no reason..." After saying this, he glanced at Ding Junyi, Wei Kexue, and the embarrassed Yu Yuheng, and shouted decisively.

"He Zhen, Wen Zhuo!"

"To!"

Zhao Yu looked at the group of scientists who were covered in dust and immediately ordered: "Immediately arrange for the research team to move to a safe area, and send more guards and night walkers to provide 24-hour close protection. He Zhen, you let Xiao He follow the team. No matter what the research team asks, you have to do it even if it is impossible. The more the enemy opposes, the more correct we are! The entire army must give full support to the research team!"

"Yes!" He Zhen and Wen Zhuo immediately accepted the order.

Lin Xian was shocked when he heard this. Zhao Yu's words made the events clear in an instant like the breeze sweeping away fallen leaves.

And what he said was not only addressed to He Zhen and Wen Zhuo, but also to the members of the scientific research team, including Lin Xian and Han Jun, the leaders of the survivors' convoy. His implication was that Phoenix would fully trust and support the judgment of the scientific research team!
At the same time, his words were full of decisive judgment.

There are no dark marks in the entire city, which does not necessarily mean that this theory is wrong, but why did the strange creature attack the experimental building?
In Zhao Yu's opinion, there is no coincidence, but only two reasons.

1. The research team's research accidentally attracted the attention of the monster.

2. The research results of the scientific research team are likely to pose some threat to the strange entity.

No matter which one it is, it shows that the research team's research is effective and correct!

When the others heard what Zhao Yu said, they suddenly felt as if all their doubts were cleared up.

At this time, Zhao Yu finished making arrangements and turned to speak to the leaders of several survivor convoys that had arrived.

"The situation is urgent. There is no point in discussing other things. Professional matters should be left to professionals. All we can do is trust the judgment of the scientific research team. The city is no longer safe now. We need your assistance in other areas."

"It's okay, you are the general of this city, we will all follow your arrangements." Shi Diyuan patted his chest and walked out.

"Manager Zhao, our Arctic Wind Alliance will definitely stand together with the Phoenix Society." Han Jun also said at this time.

Zhao Yu looked at everyone and said without further ado, with a stern expression:
"From now on, the entire city is on alert. All convoys gathered on Central Avenue need to follow the Phoenix Order's evacuation plan and disperse to avoid evacuation congestion. You, the convoys, will set an example in this regard."

"The second thing is, in order to cope with the possible increased pressure on the defense of the outer city, I have already transferred all the troops of the Survey Corps to the front line." Zhao Yu said, looking at the troops on the streets outside the heavy snow, "If something happens in the city, like tonight, it will cause the defense front to be empty, so the defense in the city needs you to stabilize it."

"Understood." Han Jun said calmly, "The eastern part of the city will be guarded by our Arctic Wind Alliance, and there will also be a part of the joint convoy. I will arrange defense measures immediately."

"Okay, then our cosmic convoy will lead the way to the south of the city." Qin Xueming crossed his arms and said, "There are more convoys here, so we can hold it steady."

Qian Dele said at this time: "Leave the north of the city to us. There are many train groups over there. It's not crowded, but the firepower is strong, and there is also air defense at the airport, so it should be no problem."

"Then Fenglan Mountain in the west of the city is ours." Shi Diyuan looked at Lin Xian, and then said to Zhao Yu proudly: "There are few people in this area, and we have a mountain to rely on, but our two teams are not vegetarians, right, Brother Lin."

Captain Lin nodded and looked at Wei Kexue and Ding Junyi.

"That's fine with me. What are your plans next?"

Ding Junyi looked serious and calm: "We must conduct mass testing immediately. If it doesn't work, we can only recommend out-of-town testing."

The situation at this time had progressed beyond her original expectations, but what she cared about was not whether it was dangerous or not, but the fact that the experiment had not been able to progress.

"I agree."

Wei Kexue raised his glasses and said, "Mr. Guo is injured. I suggest that Professor Ding and Professor Zhang take charge of the laboratory. Leave the operation of the group experiment to me."

"And me!!!" Yu Yuheng patted the dust off his cheeks and walked over quickly: "The research team is not enough, I will call all the logistics of the Emperor Team over."

Zhao Yu frowned slightly: "We must be prepared for another attack. Next, I will arrange an earthquake monitoring team. It is impossible for that thing to move without making any noise. In order to ensure that there is no risk of error, the research team should be prepared to move the address multiple times."

"Hey, this is a good idea." He Zhen nodded at this time: "If the scientific research team is really targeted, this is likely to happen again."

"I will arrange a special guard team this time." Wen Zhuo also said at this time.

Zhao Yu nodded, then took out a communicator that looked like a Phoenix Medal, adjusted a frequency, and said to Lin Xian and other leaders of the convoy: "I will communicate with you all about the Phoenix Order's dispatch and communication through the Phoenix Order."

"it is good."

"clear."

Everyone responded.

"Everyone." Zhao Yu looked at everyone and said, "The snow is coming, let's work together to defend the city!"

After saying this, he gathered his windbreaker and quickly left with the huge crowd.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt a heavy sense of impending storm.

Han Jun and others looked at Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan. Several team leaders signaled to each other and immediately left. If nothing unexpected happened, the sweet dreams of all the team in the city would be awakened in a few minutes.

At this time, the sky was dark and Xilan City was under the snowstorm, with an atmosphere of solemnity and murderousness!

At this time, Wei Kexue looked towards the huge bottomless cave not far away, his eyes full of desolation and emptiness.

Half an hour ago, dozens of people from the research team were still working with them. Everyone was researching all night long in order to learn the truth about the Dark Mark as soon as possible. But in a trance, these familiar faces disappeared before his eyes.

"Professor Wei, prepare to transfer."

He Zhen's deputy Xiao He was responsible for the security and transfer of the scientific research team. Seeing Wei Kexue looking stunned at the moment, he came up to comfort him.

Yu Yuheng was covered with a wind blanket by several staff members. He glanced at Wei Kexue and wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He was also in a heavy mood at this moment. Those colleagues disappeared before his eyes, and he didn't even hear a single shout or scream.

Ding Junyi stood aside and watched this scene, while Lin Xian and KIKI came forward.

"Director Ding."

"Thank you for your unconditional trust in my research results." Ding Junyi looked in the direction of Wei Kexue and said in a flat voice.

“Not unconditionally.”

Lin Xian said.

Ding Junyi turned and looked at him in confusion.

"Before, I just wanted your assistance. Now, I need you to complete this mission and return to Infinity safely." Lin Xian said in a heavy tone.

The closer the results came, the more bumpy the process became. Lin Xian smelled a strange smell that made him feel suffocated and angry after being fooled. If he had simply wanted to throw the information about the Dark Mark to the Phoenix Society and get away with it, but now, seeing so many researchers being swallowed up in the huge pit, Wei Kexue, Yu Yuheng, and Ding Junyi were all in danger, Lin Xian thought of the same thing as Zhao Yu.

That is what the scientific research team is doing, and perhaps it really makes some existence in the darkness feel angry and threatened!

But the more this happened, the more Lin Xian felt that he had to fight the darkness to the end!

Ding Junyi calmed down and looked at Lin Xian's resolute expression. Her eyes, which had been calm all along, were now filled with a wave of emotion. She pursed her lips and spoke.

"I promise you."

After saying that, he walked towards the transfer vehicle.

After Wei Kexue and others left, the only people left at the scene were the Survey Corps soldiers who were in charge of guarding the place and the terrifying entrance to the abyss.

Swish.

At this moment, the sky suddenly brightened, the howling of wind and snow intensified, and above the sky, huge thunder roared and tore in the eye of the storm in the extremely cold vortex, suppressing the earth.

11:30, it’s dawn.

In order to prevent the sudden situation of strange creatures rushing into the city from the cave, Zhao Yu not only arranged soldiers, but also arranged engineering teams and night walkers to temporarily bury the cave entrance.

Lin Xian and KIKI stood in the square and watched this scene with gloomy faces.

"What should we do now?" KIKI stood beside Lin Xian and looked at him with a cold breath.

"go back."

"and then?"

"sleep."

After Lin Xian finished speaking, he turned around. He had to take a rest immediately, recover his energy, and then immediately upgrade the firepower of the Infinity.

He had a premonition that some kind of devastating disaster was gradually approaching Xilan City!
