Due to the hasty escape, his plan was disrupted, and there were many things he hadn’t had the chance to take, including food supplies, a generator, and some kitchen equipment that he hadn’t had time to devour.

Strangely, it seemed as if someone had stayed in his shelter, with opened cans in the kitchen and living room, and even some hot meals had been cooked.

This eerie scene made Lin Xian start to realize that perhaps he wasn’t dreaming.

"Normally, Jiang City should be covered by an Extreme Night by now, but just now the sky was clearly bright. Yet these changes occurred after I left; what is going on here..."

Just as Lin Xian was puzzled, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the bedroom, even though he had just checked and found nothing inside.

At that moment, Lin Xian’s head felt heavy, and after taking a deep breath, he walked towards the bedroom again. But as he reached the door, he discovered a shadow standing inside!

From the figure, the shadow seemed to be a woman.

"Who are you?!"

Activating the Mechanical Heart, Lin Xian found he could use his superpower and was not too afraid of facing a human.

Unexpectedly, when the woman heard him shout, she suddenly turned her head, looked toward his direction with fear, yet seemed not to see him.

"Who’s speaking?"

Lin Xian also was shocked at this time, having clearly seen the woman who appeared to be about 26 or 27 years old, of short stature yet extremely beautiful, with slightly curly short hair exuding a sharp air.

Suddenly, the woman gazed at his location, lifted a hand to point, and an immensely powerful force caused his surroundings to start rippling and distorting like water.

Lin Xian took a sudden step back; the opponent was not only a Superpower User, but the move strikingly resembled his Gravitational Lens. He immediately prepared to counterattack but found the woman coming forward to his previous location and grabbing the space, which started to plummet wildly, a strong sense of weightlessness swooping in!

Wow!

[Non-mechanical energy converted, gained 600 Mechanical Source Points.]

[Current Mechanical Heart Level LV.4 (4690/7000)]

The humming sound and light screen simultaneously appeared in his consciousness, as Lin Xian broke out in a cold sweat, taking a deep breath as he sat up.

Clang, clang.

At this time, he was sleeping in the bedroom of Car 1, with the Infinity quietly traveling through the snowfield, the world outside the window pitch-black as the howling snowstorm was shut out.

Inside the carriage, the heating system conveyed a sense of warmth, with the carriage seemingly empty at the moment.

Just waking up, Lin Xian felt his head a bit dizzy and his expression was very confused.

First, he was puzzled by the dreams he had twice today, both taking him back to Jiang City, wondering who that woman was who appeared in his shelter.

Next, he was puzzled about the current situation; raising his hand to look at the time, he found it was already 23:12.

Near midnight, without a Monster Tide, no attacks, no gunfire, outside frighteningly quiet.

Lin Xian found it strange; could Xilan City’s support have dealt with all the monsters?

He rubbed his heavy head; previously, borrowing the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube to recover a bit of energy, he forcefully used Gravitational Lens and felt an even scarier weakness than in the sky corridor, almost realizing the danger when KIKI raised the train to leap off the broken track, a terrifying sense of fatigue as if heart and breathing nearly couldn’t continue.

[Congratulations, mechanical amplification succeeded, Ice Wall upgraded to Adaptive AT Force Field Shield!]

[Adaptive AT Force Field Shield: Generates a concentric polygonal force field shield with spectral dispersion to buffer and decelerate kinetic approaching weapon damage, partially weakening energy weapon damage.]

"Force Field Shield, a technology unrealized by the interstellar army..."

Lin Xian sat on the bed, spreading his fingers, a nearly transparent warm white polygonal light shield unfolded before his palm, his palm’s Electric Surge ceaselessly maintaining the shield’s presence, and it quickly expanded as he willed.

"Still able to adjust size, maintain continually."

Lin Xian now had a bit of joy in his eyes; originally worried about maintaining the shield would be excessively consuming, but he found that though it required more than Ice Wall, it was still within acceptable limits. Creating a shield protecting his frontal position and maintaining it for a while seemed not difficult.

Meanwhile, he opened his Research and Development Center again.

[Research and Development Center]

[TRP Fourth-Generation Industrial Type Active Exoskeleton Power Armor (blueprint): 1 day 17 hours]

"You’re awake?"

Lin Xian was still checking his Research and Development Center when suddenly he heard Chen Sixuan’s voice; lifting his head, he saw Chen Sixuan standing outside the opened door, looking pleased to see him awake.

Lin Xian rubbed his head a bit puzzled and pointed outside the window: "What happened, have our markers been cleared?"

His first thought was that Xilan City’s support had eliminated a wave of Monster Tides, clearing their markers, so they could safely travel at night.

Who would have thought Chen Sixuan shook her head, walked over and said: "Yes, all the markers have been cleared; it’s odd, after that wave of Monster Tides dispersed, they never appeared again. We suspect it might be because the Seventh Investigation Corps is covering us."

Lin Xian frowned after hearing this: "Markers cleared? How can that be?"

Although his Gravitational Lens was powerful, it only killed part of them; the majority of Monster Tides were repelled, logically the markers couldn’t have been cleared.
