Chapter 401: Chapter 262: Lighthouse in the Storm (Explosive 11,000, seeking monthly votes!) _5

Zhou Wuer looked at everyone, his eyes not filled with sorrow, but with a profound respect as he said, "The Yu Bei City airport rescue was an unprecedented and successful operation. Whether it’s the Iron Guard 52nd Brigade or the 4th support group, these partners staunchly defended the Phoenix Society’s paramount agenda to protect human civilization, and this has received absolute affirmation from Phoenix City!"

Shu Qin in the crowd looked somber and spoke, "Is the casualty rate for the Phoenix Society’s Dawn Rescue Mission really that high? I recall that Yu Bei City’s emergency teams also sacrificed three groups. Mr. Bai’s team was the fourth to successfully reach the airport, and that’s even with the Iron Guard Brigade’s escort from Feng City and Chong An..."

Zhou Wuer wasn’t overly surprised by this, and he restrained the seemingly light smile on his face as he replied,

"Sacrifices are inevitable. The Apocalypse Day and global calamities have happened too swiftly, leaving humanity with little time to react. To save more viable forces, our Phoenix Society’s emergency teams have been deploying saturated support missions, and likewise for our Nightwalker Organization. Currently, there are approximately 500 Postman teams active across the Asia-Pacific, but our operation numbers have updated to 2564. Hence, death is not unfamiliar to us..."

"Ah?" Chen Sixuan was very surprised, "Isn’t the Nightwalker Organization a superpower user group? Is the mortality rate that high?"

"With great power comes great responsibility~"

The woman named Peng Peng said casually, "Precisely because superpower users are strong, we investigate Extreme Night and relay information, which increases success rates, although it is indeed extremely dangerous. Moreover, most of us have to use flying devices, so the fatality rate is higher."

"However,~ I don’t particularly like using flying devices. They’re too dangerous, and I have acrophobia. If it weren’t for the mission, I would rather take the train."

Zhou Wuer seemed to have a good attitude, speaking lightly, but everyone could feel a tremendous weight in his words.

Before this, many people thought of the Phoenix Society as a safe haven, and the Nightwalker as an authoritative group of strong superpower users, but it turned out to be such a harsh operation mode.

Seeing everyone fall into silence, Lin Xian looked at Zhou Wuer and asked, "Let’s get to the main topic, why are you looking for me?"

"To convey two messages."

Zhou Wuer was straightforward: "The first matter is to thank you for your previous assistance and offer a special gift from the Phoenix Society. We also hope that you can join the Phoenix Society or establish an official cooperation with the Phoenix Society. The second matter is to request permission to conduct some tests on your superpower. Our superpower research is currently very interested in the characteristics and mechanisms of Mechanical Superpower Users."

"And you, Miss KIKI." Zhou Wuer continued, turning to KIKI: "Telekinesis is a rare type, and aside from combat, it has numerous other strategic uses."

"Like what?" KIKI raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms out of curiosity.

"For instance, the Quantum Consciousness Theory, validating the ’Von Neumann-Wigner interpretation’ quantum consciousness hypothesis, exploring whether consciousness has the ability to disturb wave function collapse, or constructing an ’Awareness-Particle Coupling Experiment Chamber’ to measure the precision of thought on the double-slit interference experiment. These are still within the realm of fundamental physics."

Zhou Wuer spoke effortlessly: "Then there’s the field of neuroscience. If telekinesis can control matter, even if it’s driven by cold dark fundamental particles, what is the output form? A quantum entanglement channel? This could likely enhance neural decoding technology. You have already encountered the Emperor Plan and are probably familiar with neural sensory driving technology."

"To put it simply, there are numerous possibilities."

KIKI listened, her face surprised: "Wow, are you planning to use superpowers to shake up physics?"

"Why not? Do superpowers have to be theological? Now that cold dark fundamental particles have been discovered, doesn’t it prove they are just another form of material existence?" Zhou Wuer, like an academic genius, answered earnestly.

Ding Junyi nodded: "I agree with this. When humanity’s ancestors first discovered fire, it was considered a miracle. But as science developed, it was found that the essence of fire is a high-temperature gaseous or plasma state. Therefore, it’s not impossible for superpowers to be scientifically explained."

Lin Xian looked at Zhou Wuer, saying meaningfully: "Using materialism to dissect idealism, the Phoenix Society truly is the light of humanity."

"Don’t worry." Zhou Wuer smiled and waved his hand, "We won’t dissect you; that’s something anti-human organizations would do."

"Hey, but Brother Lin is our conductor. If you recruit Brother Lin and KIKI, what will happen to us?" At this point, Sha Sha asked Zhou Wuer a critical question.

Upon hearing this question, Lu Xingchen, who had been sleeping, also squinted his eyes at them.

"Joining the Phoenix Society doesn’t necessarily require disbanding your team." The woman named Peng Peng spoke confidently, "The Phoenix Society is now a global mobile organization. Even Phoenix City and Noah are not considered safe havens and cannot accommodate all survivors. The Phoenix Society is currently building the Dawn Defense Line and a space elevator in the polar regions as a backup plan. Our primary responsibility is global assistance, so joining the Phoenix Society doesn’t mean you have to be on standby at headquarters. Scattered survivor teams worldwide can all become part of the force. The so-called ’spark can start a prairie fire,’ and branches of the Phoenix Society or Nightwalker can exist in any area and any survivor team."
