Chapter 320: 244 Cold Dark Basic Particles

The night wind was desolate, and the Extreme Cold Vortex spread over a vast area. Many areas near Hengshan Pass began to see fine snowflakes falling.

After the battle, the people in the camp gradually tidied up the battlefield debris, and the noisy convoy began to quiet down.

The Infinity’s headlights were brightly lit.

"You little girl, how dare you run out with the mecha without me and your Brother Lin’s permission! Such a gutsy move!" In Car No. 2, KIKI pinched Sha Sha’s cheek, speaking in a scolding tone.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, KIKI sis, I was wrong~"

"It’s fine, the insect tide surrounded us all around; in such a situation, mecha combat is needed." Lin Xian said directly to Sha Sha, "Tonight, I’ll modify the door of Car No. 11 a bit, so next time you won’t have to climb out."

Sha Sha quickly escaped KIKI’s clutches and nodded at Lin Xian, "Mmm, I’ll listen to Brother Lin."

At this moment, the core members of the team were all in Car No. 2, and everyone first summarized the battle situation.

"Aside from the ammo expenditure, we didn’t suffer any major losses this time," Chen Sixuan said, holding the record book. "This area has encountered an insect tide, and the route isn’t very clear, so I suggest we depart an hour before dawn."

"Yes." Lin Xian nodded, "We should set off early. Having just resolved the trouble here tonight, staying here for a tidy-up would be relatively safer."

He still had some preparations to make tonight, as time was pressing. Ding Junyi had moved the Hell Black Chrysanthemum over, and everyone could see that the red light on it had completely extinguished, leaving only a faint glow flowing like a current inside the compartment.

Besides that, there was also a silver box on the table, containing the new Blood Calamity Disaster Plant acquired from the Big Eagle Caravan.

Everyone’s eyes turned to this peculiar plant, whose root core seemed to have a purplish energy flowing through it, appearing quite magical.

Ding Junyi observed it closely and then said, "It indeed shares some commonalities with the No. 1 Disaster Plant. If it’s a new Disaster Plant, it should have some very special properties."

"Let’s hope it will be useful to us," Lin Xian said.

Chen Sixuan looked outside at the camped convoy with a serious expression, "After this disaster, our markers should have been erased. It’s just that they..."

"What? They don’t believe?" KIKI couldn’t help asking.

Lin Xian shook his head and said in a deep voice, "We warned them, and they should think about it somewhat. But still, the issue is that we have the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, and they don’t. This mark is hard to convey in concrete terms. If real danger comes, these people might still act based on practical benefits."

Ding Junyi shrugged and said, "This is normal; it is in the nature of living beings to seek benefits and avoid harm. Killing these monsters doesn’t have any clear profit for now. On the contrary, the rate of return from fleeing is higher, so in dangerous situations, people will choose to run away rather than test whether the danger can be overcome by force. There’s no benefit, is there?"

Lin Xian’s expression darkened slightly at these words. Ding Junyi’s statement hit the nail on the head; if they can’t make all survivors realize that counterattacking and resolving the Abnormal Bodies is key to their own survival, they will never be able to change this common understanding.

"Let’s leave it at that; these aren’t issues we should be concerned with. When we reach Xilan, we need to acquire a lot of supplies and intelligence from the Phoenix Society. As for the information on the dark marker, we only need to synchronize it with them, and whether they acknowledge it is not within our capability to decide."

In the end, the primary goal of the team is still survival space. Lin Xian could only continuously sync this information to each surviving team they encounter, and how many people could be influenced is beyond his ability to change.

Ding Junyi nodded and was ready to take the Blood Calamity Disaster Plant for research, but Lin Xian suddenly called her.

"Director Ding."

"Hmm?"

Lin Xian took a deep breath and asked, "I remember in string theory, gravity is the only fundamental force that can traverse spatial dimensions, right?"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Lin Xian with strange expressions, wondering why he would ask such an academic question out of the blue.

Ding Junyi stopped, looked at Lin Xian, pondered, and said,

"My academic focus is biology. The string theory you mentioned is a branch of theoretical physics. According to quantum gravity theory, all fundamental particles are viewed as vibrating strings. These strings exist in a curled-up nine-dimensional or ten-dimensional space, not in our three-dimensional space. The graviton, as the carrier of gravity, is a closed string whose ends are not fixed in our three-dimensional space but can freely move in extra dimensions. This means that gravity can indeed traverse higher dimensions."

She then shifted the topic and adjusted her glasses, "Do you think that the dark tide is actually an overlay of another dark dimension onto our world in a superimposed state?"

"What do you mean, what are you talking about?" KIKI was utterly confused, and the others were even more bewildered.

"I don’t understand..." Sha Sha murmured softly.

Lin Xian knew Ding Junyi understood his point, but at the moment, he didn’t know how to explore this topic, so he just shook his head and said, "It’s nothing, just some strange and curious thoughts."

Lin Xian remembered he’d once watched a movie called "Interstellar," where the protagonist, Cooper, acquired the solution to gravitational equations inside a black hole, using gravity to transmit these solutions to his daughter Murphy via Morse code. Murphy used this information to finally solve the other half of the gravitational equation, allowing humanity to build massive space stations to avoid the extinction crisis on Earth.
