Chapter 1328: Chapter 511: Living Yama_3
The armor of the Infinity rang with clanging metal sounds, but the Infinity wasn’t an ordinary Doomsday Train. The Composite Armor that Lin Xian had reforged with Super Carbon炔 Alloy back at Yongcheng Port was enough for the Infinity to withstand tens of thousands of tons of deep water pressure. Except for running into those Abnormal Bodies that could use Strong Dark Energy Acid Liquid and laser beams, small Abnormal Bodies could hardly pose any threat to the train’s defenses.
"Not going to take them out?"
KIKI’s voice came through the communicator: "I’ve been watching them on my monitor for a while now. You even turned off the plasma Defense Array on the locomotive. What are you trying to do?"
Lin Xian smiled slightly. "It’s just four or five of them, no big threat. They can’t chew through the Armor Plate anyway, no need to worry."
In Car No. 2, KIKI lounged in a swivel chair with her feet on the table, rocking comfortably as she said, "You just think you can sleep better with Zombies outside, don’t you..."
"You figured that out too?"
"Tsk~" KIKI looked at the Monster Corpse on the surveillance screen. "You know, this reminds me of when we left North Bay, when that Tang Hai raised a whole corpse tide and had our train completely surrounded. That scene was really spectacular. If it hadn’t been for trying to escape the Extreme Night back then, thinking about it now, it doesn’t seem that scary. I mean, Steel Fortress—wasn’t that the whole point?"
"How can a few Zombies be the same thing as a Zombie tide?" In the cockpit, Lin Xian looked at the hideous Zombie face just a few feet outside the porthole and replied casually, "Besides, haven’t you noticed that with Zombies around, the Spirit Vibration Value fluctuations in the area have actually become much more stable?"
At that, KIKI frowned slightly, then raised her hand and tapped the air, using Telekinesis to operate the keyboard and pull up the data from the Soul Swinging Value Detector. She squinted at it, then suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Ah, Lin Xian, oh Lin Xian~ I’m starting to suspect your brain’s been mechanically modified too. Your observation and analysis are getting this meticulous?"
Lin Xian chuckled and countered, "So what did you see?"
"Isn’t it obvious..." KIKI said in a light, airy tone. "If we treat the scarlet mist as a kind of dimensional grid, then we’re actually in a patch of high-dimensional ’deep water’. Those Abnormal Bodies can move through it, and likewise, any Dark Energy Fluctuation will be transmitted via ’Water Ripples’. I’m guessing you think those Hunting Bodies in the scarlet are locating us by sensing the ’ripples’ in different regions. So you’re just leaving these scarlet Zombies alone, because the more you kill, the more this Dark Energy ’vacuum zone’ will stand out and draw attention?"
Lin Xian froze for a moment, then frowned and said in a tone of disbelief, "Damn, I really didn’t think it through that far. But... yeah, that’s basically the idea."
"Hee-hee~ I am the brains of this train, you think this could stump me?" KIKI’s tone was quite smug.
Lin Xian said seriously at this point, "But I feel your analysis of the scarlet is already very close to the truth. Maybe even the Dark Mark is related to this. The details will depend on the research from Polar Kunlun City."
As he said this, something occurred to him. "Right, when Director Ding went to the Polar region, did she bring any Disaster Plant with her?"
"She only brought her Blood Vine. The Hell Black Chrysanthemum and Ten Thousand Mistakes were left for Sister Chen and the others to use for protection. Speaking of which..." KIKI said, "Before we split up on the Chengying Ship, Director Ding used her Superpower to help us cultivate a Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes bud. Maybe Sister Chen and the others have already put it to use."
Hearing this, Lin Xian nodded, a bit of hope welling up in his chest. "Having that really gives them an extra life-saving card. With the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube there too, it might even have a suppressing effect on the scarlet."
"Lin Xian~"
Using Telekinesis, KIKI made a pen dance in the air. Her eyes flickered, and in the midst of their idle chatter she suddenly said, "I’ve been thinking—could the attack from the South Heavenly Gate break through the Heavenly Veil giant screen? Even if it can’t, could we use it as a way to transmit information?"
Hearing that, Lin Xian’s eyes lit up at once, his interest piqued. He wondered if there was some kind of black-tech communication method that could be implemented using the South Heavenly Gate’s high-energy particle beams. He quickly said, "Huh... that’s a good idea. Let’s hear it."
"For example..."
KIKI spoke in a way that never failed to shock: "Use that laser light to write some words on the ground or something."
"Living Yama."
Lin Xian said.
