Chapter 1266: Chapter 488: Lin Xian’s Crystal Grid Evolution
The air fell into a silence; the hibernation pod hall was utterly quiet at this moment. Several people looked at KIKI with strange expressions, while Lin Xian pulled up the data from the Soul Swinging Value Detector just now, then frowned and looked at KIKI.
"It should be at that time."
"You saw that monster?" KIKI asked back.
Lin Xian nodded: "Otherwise there’s no way to explain it. With this data, there are only two possibilities: either it confirms Director Ding’s enemy-same-origin theory, or there is a world-class disaster hiding in the seawater beneath us right now, or up in the sky above us."
Whoosh!
Under the clear sky, the Sky Dome Train dragged the intercontinental train back to the low magnetic levitation orbit, slicing swiftly across the ocean like a silver sword.
In the hibernation pod hall, a chill kept surging. KIKI’s eyes rolled, then she shivered with a wave of goosebumps: "Looks like it should be the former..."
Chen Sixuan watched the two of them, her face full of confusion: "What on earth are you talking about?"
Lin Xian thought for a moment and still gave a brief explanation. Hearing this, Sha Sha immediately turned a shocked gaze toward KIKI: "Sister Kiki, what Brother Lin means is that your superpower is very likely of the same origin as Biological Unit 02?"
"Let’s just say the probability is quite high." KIKI nodded, then looked at one of her palms. The Telekinesis fluctuations turned into a faint flowing glow on her hand, shining with a bit of brilliance in the dark. She sighed: "In your Brother Lin’s words, this should count as... good news?"
"Good news?"
"If we can confirm this kind of link and have a clear target, it really does count as good news." Ding Junyi’s eyes were shining with surprise as she looked at KIKI and said, "First, it gives us a clear research direction. With a sample, the progress of theoretical experiments will be greatly accelerated. Second, if there’s a crisis, at least we can be more proactive."
KIKI crossed her arms. "Like when we go crusade against Biological Unit 2?"
Lin Xian chuckled: "Alright, let’s talk about something practical. KIKI, your combat power from your superpower has skyrocketed this much—have you felt anything abnormal?"
"Abnormal?"
KIKI shook her head: "Actually feels pretty good. Feels like I slept for a long time. Aside from some nightmares, it was a pretty good sleep."
"It’s a very special experience." Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian and said seriously, "Next it should be you and Director Ding’s turn. You should be able to feel it."
KIKI also said, "Yeah, your turn. Don’t worry, if anything happens, we should be able to handle it. And you probably won’t take very long, right?"
"Brother Lin, Sister Kiki’s already improved so much; I bet you’ll definitely break thirty thousand. Wow, I can’t even imagine how big a change your evolution will bring." Sha Sha’s face was full of anticipation.
"Yeah, Captain Lin." Luo Yang was also brimming with excitement: "The ascension of your Mechanical superpower is definitely going to be spectacular!"
But Lin Xian just gave a bitter smile at their words. He wanted to say something, yet held it back for a moment. There were many ideas he himself couldn’t make a direct judgment on; might as well just do it first.
"Alright."
Lin Xian checked the time: "It’s only one o’clock now. At our current speed, nightfall time should be around nineteen hundred hours. This counts as the farthest we’ve been from Star Abyss 13; we’re also far from the Miami 9th Star Abyss and the Bolivia 10th Star Abyss. Nightfall time should be later than usual, but..."
He paused, then continued: "Now that the Scarlet Descent has come, they say Dawn Center hasn’t even crossed the Alaska region yet, and over there the 12th Star Abyss and Alberta’s 2nd Star Abyss have already irradiated large scarlet zones. So nothing can be judged by previous experience anymore."
Hearing this, Chen Sixuan nodded solemnly at once: "Okay, I understand. Since we’re currently fleeing the expansion zone, things should remain stable at least until tonight."
"Mm."
Lin Xian looked toward Ding Junyi and Shi Zhi: "Director Ding, Shi Zhi, are you ready?"
"I can go anytime." Ding Junyi pushed up her glasses: "After this Crystal Grid Evolution, I need to contact the Nightwalker team as soon as possible. Some of this data will be very important for verifying the enemy-same-origin theory, and possibly some other questions as well."
Shi Zhi nodded to Lin Xian, replying with a determined expression: "I’m ready. I’m in your hands."
Vmm~
At this moment, Lin Xian took out three sets of Crystal Evolution Devices and three Level 4 Blood Essence crystals, then walked to the outside of the three hibernation pods. The three of them undid their clothes, lay inside wearing only their Inner Liner Suits, and then Chen Sixuan and the others helped install the evolution devices on their bodies.
"Don’t worry, we’ll be watching over your condition the whole time." Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian with concern and gave him a smile as she spoke.
"It’s fine, at worst it’s just a nightmare. Just be careful not to wet the bed~" KIKI finished and snickered, then looked at Lin Xian: "Hey, you can’t take too long. Aren’t you still going to build the Infinity?"
Lin Xian’s gaze swept over them; he gave a faint smile, then suddenly waved his hand. With a swish, followed by several clanging booms of metal hitting the floor, Sha Sha, Luo Yang and the others turned their heads—only to see six heavy mechas, their entire bodies gleaming with a cold light, neatly appearing behind them.
Among the six mechas, the three on the left were burly like iron towers, like Silver Blade Color versions of Da Lou’s Black Dragon Battle Armor. Their whole bodies were clad in Super Carbon Alloy Explosion-Proof Composite Armor, equipped with a Magnetic Storm System as well as a Static Electric Field. Their twin "eyes" shone with a shadowy gleam, and from top to bottom they radiated a savage and towering aura. The three on the right, on the other hand, were like Xiao Qing after putting on Power Armor, except that both their feet and hands were fitted with VK Electric Knives that could spring out. The original Ballet Pad Form of Dancer One had now been replaced by two Mechanical Cold Blade blades, like agile Dancers of slaughter!
