Chapter 325: Chapter 245: Upgrading the Mechanical Energy Cannon!_2

Carriage No. 12, Lin Xian prepared quite a bit of ammunition, checked the time, and planned to take a rest first.

Unexpectedly, the light screen of the Mechanical Heart suddenly lit up.

[Non-mechanical energy converted, Mechanical Source Point +1000]

Lin Xian’s gaze sharpened; it seemed that the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube’s conversion of Hell Black Chrysanthemum’s energy was complete!

He immediately walked towards the corridor of the carriage, looking at the faint fluorescence flowing in the air, feeling his physical and mental strength constantly recovering and growing. He had just made quite a few bullets in succession, and his spirit was even better than before he started making them.

Lin Xian began to walk forward through the corridor of the living carriage. Along the way, all the team members in the cabins were resting soundly. Shu Qin sat on a bench in the corridor, holding a gun, watching outside the window. Seeing Lin Xian coming, she immediately stood up.

"Captain Lin."

"You should also take some rest." Lin Xian often saw Shu Qin on night watch and couldn’t help but say, "We have enough people now; you also need to conserve your energy."

Shu Qin shook her head and said, "I’m used to it. Everyone feels very safe on the Infinity, but this sense of security is also dangerous for us. So at night, I watch a bit more. The carriage is long, and watching the back makes me more at ease."

Hearing this, Lin Xian nodded. Shu Qin’s concerns were not unfounded. Having an officer on night watch made handling problems a bit more composed.

"Alright, make sure to rotate. Next, we’re entering the storm region, and the daytime threats are no less than the nighttime ones."

"Yes, I know." Shu Qin gave Lin Xian a reassuring smile.

In Carriage No. 5, Da Lou was on night watch, and Lu Xingchen was already sound asleep while Da Lou was sitting on a bench, continuously polishing his Steel-cutting Greatsword.

"Da Lou, ever since your superpower evolved into Blood Qi Power, your physical strength has improved significantly."

"Brother Xian," Da Lou grinned widely, "seems so, I can stay awake without any problem."

"You’ll die without sleep."

Looking at the greatsword, Lin Xian felt a bit of a headache. Originally, he positioned Da Lou as a heavy firepower warrior, but after his evolution, his Blood Qi Power seemed more suited for close combat with monsters. Hence, weaponized armor was no longer useful to him. It looked like they could only improve from the weapons and mobility aspects.

After a brief chat with Da Lou about his superpower, Lin Xian went to Carriage No. 3 to examine the new Blood Calamity Disaster Plant.

Sure enough, after obtaining this new Disaster Plant, Ding Junyi didn’t hesitate to break her fixed routine, working overtime to research it.

"Judging from its leaves, stems, and inflorescence, it should be a plant from the Acanthaceae Ten Thousand Mistakes species. With purple anthers, it should be Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes, but indeed it’s a dark mutation like the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, so it’s confirmed to be a Blood Calamity Disaster Plant." Hearing Lin Xian’s footsteps, Ding Junyi spoke without even raising her head.

"Ten Thousand Mistakes? Are you sure this is the plant’s name?" Hearing the name, Lin Xian couldn’t help but frown.

"Yes, Acanthaceae Ten Thousand Mistakes species."

Ding Junyi raised her head to look at Lin Xian, "However, since this plant is a mutation, I designate it as Disaster Plant No. 2. If you’d like to name it something nice, that’s up to you."

"Never mind, let’s stick with Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes." Lin Xian wasn’t as much of a hothead as Lu Xingchen, and this name sounded quite dramatic already, so there was no need to change it.

Ding Junyi paused, then walked over to Lin Xian, pointing to the lingering glow in the air and said,

"In theory, this energy may very well be Cold Dark Basic Particles, or appears in our view in a special exhibition form under the properties of Disaster Plant No. 1. It surely shares some commonality with Blood Essence, the black smoke from an Abnormal Body’s death, and the dark assault during Extreme Night. I think, if we can decode this energy, we would soon be able to verify the presence of the Dark Mark on the human body."

"Once the Phoenix Society confirms it and develops detection methods, the entire world will be able to observe the existence of the Dark Mark." Lin Xian added, "For all survivors, this would completely change their perception and planning about the apocalypse and escape. The advantage is a reduction in death through rational judgment, but the downside is that it increases survival pressure for all survivors..."

"Yes, for humanity, this is a groundbreaking discovery." Ding Junyi adjusted her glasses. "It’s like in virology, successfully isolating a strain, at least letting us know the true nature of this energy that can alter consciousness and physical form."

"You seem to be in a good mood?"

"In terms of science, yes," Ding Junyi earnestly said. "Idealism and theism are destructive to science, so I’m glad to find a solid scientific basis for this so-called ’miraculous’ evolution, even if it is truly astonishing."

Lin Xian approached the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes, discovering that the plant was still very young, entirely preserved in a soilless container. Upon close inspection, the purple lines within its roots and stalks seemed like some microscopic world’s pathways, mesmerizing to behold.

Observing Captain Lin’s expression, Ding Junyi came closer and said,

"The characteristics of Blood Calamity Disaster Plants far surpass our original understanding. So far, these peculiar plants are also extraordinarily rare. I’m sure the Phoenix Society and other allied organizations are continuously intensifying their exploration and acquisition of such plants. We are very fortunate to have acquired two specimens."
