Chapter 245 Cold Dark Basic Particles

The night wind was bleak, and the extremely cold vortex was spreading over a large area. Fine snowflakes began to float in many areas near Hengshan Pass.

After a fierce battle, the people in the camp gradually cleaned up the mess on the battlefield, and the noisy traffic jam gradually began to become quiet.

Infinity, headlights are bright.

"You little girl, you actually drove the mecha out without my and your brother Lin's permission. You are so brave!" In car No. 2, KIKI pinched Sasha's little face and said in a lecturing tone.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Sister KIKI, I was wrong~"

"It's okay. The insect swarm has surrounded us from all sides. This situation really requires mechas to fight." Lin Xian said directly to Shasha: "I will modify the door of carriage No. 11 a little tonight so that they won't crawl out next time."

Shasha quickly escaped from KIKI's clutches and nodded to Lin Xian: "Yeah, I'll listen to Brother Lin."

At this time, the backbone members of the team were all in carriage No. 2, and everyone first summarized the battle situation.

"After solving the trouble here tonight, it will be relatively safer to stay here and reorganize. However, the extreme cold vortex is covering the area very quickly, so we can't stay here for too long."

"Except for the ammunition consumption, we didn't suffer any major losses this time." Chen Sixuan said while holding the record book. "This area has encountered an insect swarm, and the track conditions are not very clear. If you want to set off as soon as possible, I suggest that you set off before dawn like the other convoys, so that you can respond promptly if you encounter any problems."

"Yeah." Lin Xian nodded. "It looks like the convoys will need a lot of time to rest. We also need to prepare more ammunition tonight. After passing the source, we will enter the Parma grassland. It's an open area there, and it will be difficult to find any supplies."

He still had to make some preparations tonight. Time waited for no one. Ding Junyi moved the Hell Black Chrysanthemum over. Everyone saw that the red light on it had completely gone out. Only a very tiny fluorescent light was left flowing in the car like an air flow.

In addition, there was a silver box on the table, which contained the new blood disaster plant brought from the Great Eagle Team.

Everyone's eyes were turned to this strange plant. There seemed to be a kind of purple energy flowing in the root core, which looked quite magical.

Ding Junyi took it in her hand and observed it carefully, then said: "It does have some similarities with disaster plant No. 1. If it is a new disaster plant, it should have very special characteristics."

"I hope it will be useful to us." Lin Xian said.

Chen Sixuan looked at the convoy camping outside and said seriously, "After this disaster, our marks should have been cleared, but I don't know if they..."

"What? They don't believe it?" KIKI couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xian shook his head and said in a deep voice: "After persuading them, they should have some thoughts. But the problem is still that we have the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, and they don't. This mark is difficult to represent concretely. If they really encounter danger, these people may still act realistically."

Ding Junyi shrugged and said, "This is normal. The nature of living things is to seek benefits and avoid harm. Killing these monsters does not bring any clear benefits at present. On the contrary, running away has a higher rate of return. So when encountering danger, people will choose to run away instead of testing whether the danger can be overcome by force. There is no benefit, right?"

Lin Xian's expression darkened when he heard this. Ding Junyi's words hit the nail on the head. If all the survivors cannot realize that fighting back and solving the strange body is a key issue related to their own survival, then it will be impossible to reverse this consensus.

"Let's do this for now. These things are not something we need to consider. When we arrive in Xilan, we will need to obtain a lot of supplies and intelligence from the Phoenix Society. As for the information about the Dark Mark, we only need to synchronize it with them. As for whether they recognize it or not, it is beyond our ability."

After all, the team's primary goal is still survival space. All Lin Xian can do is to continuously synchronize this information to every survivor team he meets. As for how many people can be affected, that is no longer something he can change.

Ding Junyi nodded and was about to take the blood disaster plant for research when Lin Xian suddenly stopped her.

"Director Ding."

"Um?"

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

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Lin Xian with strange expressions, wondering why he would ask such an academic question.

Ding Junyi stopped and looked at Lin Xian. After a moment's hesitation, she said,

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

After that, she changed the subject and raised her glasses and said, "Do you think the dark tide is actually another dimension of the dark side world that has superimposed on our world?"

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

"I don't understand..." Sasha muttered softly.

Lin Xian knew that Ding Junyi understood what he meant, but at this moment he didn't know how to discuss this issue, so he just shook his head and said, "Nothing, just some weird ideas."

Lin Xian remembered that he had watched a movie called "Interstellar", in which the heroine Murphy's father Cooper obtained the solution to the gravitational equation in a black hole, and used gravity to pass through the space dimension to transmit this information to Murphy through Morse code. Murphy used this information to eventually solve the other half of the gravitational equation, allowing humans to build a huge space station that can enter space, thus avoiding the extinction crisis on Earth.

When he used the skill of gravitational lens in the dark before, although it was only in a very small area, Lin Xian could truly see two worlds. The darkness and light were distorted and intertwined by the lens like water waves.

The most critical issue is that the world before dawn can produce a black hole-like suction in the dark, attracting and crushing the red-light monster and a large number of black insects.

He couldn't figure out the principle behind this, but it seemed that the strange entity was hiding in the darkness and would only appear after passing through the dark tide. Perhaps there was a very important determining factor here.

"Teacher Chen." Lin Xian suppressed all the thoughts in his mind and said to Chen Sixuan, "Make some arrangements and prepare enough dinner. Everyone is tired today, and the temperature is dropping at night. We urgently need to replenish our energy."

Chen Sixuan nodded: "Yes, I understand."

"Oh, right." At this time, Ding Junyi suddenly looked at the silver box on the table and asked Lin Xian, "This seems to be a mobile cultivation box designed specifically for storing plants, but it doesn't look like a federal product. Did they specify which organization it was from?"

Lin Xian shook his head: "I'm not sure. Uncle Wu said they found it from a scientific research team that was wiped out. It's not clear to whom this team belongs. Their original goal was to find the Phoenix Society and exchange some supplies."

"Oh, yeah." KIKI picked up the silver box with her fingertips and moved it in front of her to examine it carefully: "It looks very high-end, it doesn't look like something a small organization can make."

Then she turned around and suddenly stopped because she saw a tiny mark under the box, which was a triangular symbol.

Everyone looked over at this time,

"What is this sign? I don't think I've seen it before?" Chen Sixuan said.

Shuqin and Dalou both shook their heads.

"Maybe, like that foundation, it's the logo of a scientific research organization. Maybe it's related to the Phoenix Society." Lin Xian said at this time.

Lu Xingchen on the side took a look, his eyes slightly condensed, the relaxed expression on his face faded a little, and he said nothing.

"Sizzle…"

"Sizzle…"

"The Phoenix Xilan station notified the Yunjiang Plain area that they had received investigation reports from various survivor organizations and monitoring teams. A large number of alien creatures were found in the blizzard brought by the extremely cold vortex. According to the signs of the captured living creatures, the creature is a four-legged weird body with a body size of 1.2-1.6 meters, with scales and a tail spine that is more than 1 times the body length. After sampling and analysis, it was confirmed that it contains a highly toxic substance. The Phoenix Society officially named it the Snow Demon. It mainly hides in the snow. It can move in a small area during the day and will enter a violent state at night..."

"Zizizi... The Phoenix Federation is announcing to the world that the current location of the Dawn Center is the northern foot of the Yun'an Mountains, with coordinates of 116.3913447°, 39.9053937°. The Dawn Center will arrive at Tianji in three days..."

"The Phoenix Society Xilan Station reported to the Yunjiang Plain area that the snow layer in the center of the extreme cold vortex has exceeded 2 meters. A large number of eyeless B-level strange bodies were found deep in the snowstorm. They are huge in size. Survivors please take precautions!"

"Federation...Phoenix Radio has issued a global announcement that the Nightwalker Ice Cube Neutrino Observatory has successfully separated a special energy particle from the strange blood essence through the underground xenon cold dark screening method. This particle has a rest mass of 0. After kinetic energy acceleration, it will produce quantum rise and decay states. It has been confirmed that this energy particle is consistent with the magnetic wave signal of the superpower's soul-shaking value. This energy particle has been officially named the cold dark basic particle. At present, this energy particle can be separated from the strange blood essence and the dark tidal wave through a special separation device. Through the experiments of the superpower volunteers of the Nightwalker organization, it has been confirmed that this particle has a strong correlation with superpower waves and biological genetic evolution. The Phoenix Society is working with Xinghua Heavy Industry and Silent Industrial City to develop a portable separation device..."

"Phoenix Radio has issued a global announcement that 147 additional mobile support stations will be deployed in the near future to assist, train, and support various survivor teams to strengthen basic survival capabilities. The Night Walker Organization recommends that you do not swallow the strange blood essence. When collecting blood essence, remember to wear protective measures to avoid being attacked by dark forces!"

"Zizizi...Survivor shortwave band"

"The White Light Team is sending out a warning to the surrounding 500-kilometer radius. Zizizi... We... have been completely wiped out... The location is 150 kilometers northwest of Chixia. Remind everyone not to run away when encountering snow monsters. The number will increase... Ugh!!!"

"Zizizi... We are the Flying Tigers, heading towards the Yunzhou Mountains. We have encountered multiple convoys that have suffered large-scale casualties. Snow water is highly toxic, so don't use it for filtering. If you are still alive, run to a place without snow!!"

"Watchers Alliance, at the coordinates 102.4571147°, 66.4545487° near Sufeng Village and Yaze Lake, there is a large-scale battle organized by the Phoenix Order and the Interstellar Army. It is speculated that a terrifying night monster may have appeared in the area. It is recommended that everyone avoid the area."

"A super giant appeared in the blizzard there!! It can fire laser cannons. It is not sure whether it is a strange entity or a man-made object. Everyone run!"

"…"

"This is the information from the day before, including some from tonight, and some from earlier this morning. I recorded and released them together." Ding Junyi turned off the radio and said to everyone, "I filtered out some useless information. From the current point of view, the dark energy should have been clearly captured. The key now is to analyze the commonalities of various dark matter, organisms, and natural disasters. Once this difficulty is overcome, it should be a matter of time before the secrets of Xingyuan are discovered by humans."

"Oh my God, it sounds like the grassland towards Xilan has turned into a snowy field, and it looks very dangerous?" Sasha said at this time.

"It seems you are right." Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian: "Some people think they can't run, but most people still try to escape. However, running away with the mark is more troublesome."

Shuqin frowned slightly: "Captain Lin, that snow demon sounds like some kind of large-scale group creature, and it can appear during the day. It seems that it can trigger the characteristics of the Dark Mark. This is really troublesome."

Lin Xian nodded: "But there is still good news."

Ding Junyi seemed a little excited at this time. She said to Lin Xian: "Yes, it seems that the Phoenix Society is already developing this separation device. It should be a project that can formally use blood essence to enhance superpowers and genetic evolution. In this way, the construction of various superpower systems in the Angel Project should be made public soon. If there is a chance, I hope to obtain such a separation device from the Phoenix Society, and it would be best if I can get a paper on this cold dark basic particle."

Lin Xian nodded: "Finally, we have a direction. If we can separate this energy, humans should be able to truly utilize the power of blood essence and darkness."

"Wow, that means blood sperm will become more and more valuable." Sasha exclaimed.

"That's right." KIKI also nodded: "But what I'm more concerned about is the manufacturing of this kind of instrument. It shouldn't be simple. Even if it's portable, I think it must be very sophisticated."

"The Phoenix Society has joined forces with Xinghua Heavy Industry, so there shouldn't be any problems. But why have I never heard of this Silent Industrial City?" Shu Qin asked.

"Don't you know?" KIKI said mysteriously, "It's Silent City. It's a mobile city on the sea built by the world's number one Mochizuki Consortium. It's said that the city has a complete industrial system and can be driven to land. I was very interested in this city at that time, but I never had the chance to travel there. It seems that it has now become a survivor traffic base and has cooperated with the Phoenix Society."

"Can it be driven onto land?" Lin Xian frowned slightly: "You don't mean to say that it is a machine city."

"Really!" KIKI said seriously, "There have been many blueprints for the construction of this city circulated on the Internet before. Although some are true and some are false, it can indeed be regarded as a large ship on the sea. If there is no industrial system, how can Phoenix cooperate with this city?"

Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan and found that she looked a little serious at this time.

"Teacher Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Sixuan, who was in a trance, was called by Lin Xian. She came to her senses and said immediately, "I am concerned about the blizzard they mentioned. The snow water is poisonous and cannot be filtered. There are also snow monsters, snow disasters, large-scale battles, and areas with strange bodies in the dark night... These may be some of the problems we will face next."

Lin Xian nodded: "I've noticed this, too. There's a lot of information today, which is both good and bad for us. We must rush to Xilan as soon as possible. After we meet up with the people from the Phoenix Society there, we should be able to get a lot of answers to our questions about superpowers and darkness. As for these problems on the road, we only have one direction, or we can retreat to the opposite direction of G5523 in the Dazhu Mountains, but that's Star Abyss No. 3, so we can't go there."

"It doesn't matter. Those monsters are hiding under the snow. My method is to shovel the snow, and then they will be exposed." Lu Xingchen said confidently: "These things are either in the dark or squatting under the deep snow, which just shows that firelight is their deadly nemesis!"

"Okay, okay." KIKI clapped her hands after hearing this. "It's a good thing you're so capable. I'll tie you to the front of the car and shovel the snow. It will definitely be more efficient than breaking the ice shield."

"Uh, no..."

"What is the super giant in the snowstorm?" Shasha asked in surprise, "Is it another huge monster?"

"It sounds like it." Shuqin shrugged and said, "For something like this, I think it must be S-level at least."

"It can fire laser cannons, could it be a man-made thing?" KIKI said quickly, "Didn't Hu Lushou tell us that the Phoenix Society was working on some kind of imperial plan in the Parma grassland?"

"Stop guessing."

Lin Xian pinched his brows and said, "There is a lot of information. We just need to keep paying attention. We can't draw any conclusions now. We can only take it one step at a time. Let's all rest early."

Cold and dark basic particles and separation devices are introduced, the superpower system is about to emerge, the Phoenix Society unites the industrial system, the snow disaster and snow monster under the extremely cold vortex, the super giant shadow in Yaze Lake...

Everything is like a layer of fog, lingering in front of everyone's eyes. All forces are constantly working hard, and survivors all over the world are racing against death.

Lin Xian knew that no conclusion could be reached at this point, so it would be better for everyone to rest early in preparation for tomorrow's journey.

The most practical thing at the moment is the new blood disaster plant that has been obtained. Lin Xian feels that after the appearance of cold and dark basic particles, the mysteries of dark marks, invasions, superpowers, blood essence, and disaster plants will be gradually revealed by humans!

…

The level 3 dark mark on their bodies was removed, and everyone on the Infinity heaved a sigh of relief. Chen Sixuan and Miao Lu led their men to distribute food, while Lin Xian re-manufactured a batch of Roarer K23 electric rotary machine guns and heavy firepower weapons and equipped them.

The entire train and car camp enjoyed a rare peaceful night surrounded by insect corpses.

In the dark night, Sasha, Dalou and several members of the Infinity team wore gas masks and searched for blood essence among the insect corpses around the camp.

"It stinks, it stinks."

Sasha held the gun, and even though she was wearing a gas mask, she could still smell the incomparable fishy smell.

Smash!

The building cut open the head of a large black beetle with a knife. Amidst the black air, a blood essence strangely appeared on the ground.

"Hey, I found one!!" Sasha jumped over lightly, picked it up, wiped it with her gloves, and saw the crystal clear red blood essence with a bit of joy in her eyes. Then she carefully put it into the waist bag she carried with her.

"Come on, let's go look over there. I remember Brother Huo burned a big red bug to death there at the beginning. There must be blood essence there."

It was not only the Infinity Team that was searching for the insect corpses. Several other teams were also patrolling and searching among the insect corpses near their camps. On the one hand, it was to avoid potential survivors, but the most important thing was that blood essence was a very good equivalent. Especially now that the survivors knew that the Phoenix had developed the value of blood essence, they became more enthusiastic about this thing.

On the other side, Chen Sixuan and Miao Lu and Xiao Yuan from the convoy began to exchange various useful supplies with the personnel from several other convoys in the convoy camp, as well as some skills and small information on how to cope with doomsday life.

A bonfire was lit in the center of the camp, and people from several parties began to participate enthusiastically. When Lin Xian learned that there were seriously injured people in the Big Eagle Team and the Pao Ben Yuan Camp, he asked Chen Sixuan to arrange these people on the car and use the on-board full-effect life treatment cabin for rescue.

This caused an uproar in the entire camp!

The high-level treatment cabin was no less than a miracle for the people in the team. The children and women who were originally injured or even chronically ill felt the dawn of hope at this time.

Many injured people were cured in a short period of time. At the same time, Chen Sixuan also brought people to exchange for many useful daily necessities, enriching the living compartment on the train.

In the doomsday, this atmosphere of mutual support and help is very contagious. Before long, the personnel of several convoys became familiar with each other. Because they had to leave before dawn tomorrow, everyone was busy exchanging work. The men and technical personnel were repairing vehicles and armor, and the young boys and girls also worked hard to help carry supplies and clean windows. The main forces in charge of escort also took advantage of the precious time to train the new young people in firearms and rescue skills, and contribute to the team.

…

[Wind Cannon—Mechanical Amplification]

[Mechanical amplification begins: Wind cannon 6:14:26]

[R&D Center]

[TRP Fourth Generation Special Industrial Active Exoskeleton Power Armor (Blueprint): 3 days and 10 hours]

Late at night, communication activities between several convoys had stopped, and each convoy began to rest. Because of the rapid drop in temperature, the team members on duty put on thick cotton clothes and patrolled around the camp.

In carriage No. 12 of the Infinity, Lin Xian looked at the amplification projects and research and development projects and took a deep breath.

Before dawn tomorrow, his wind cannon will be officially upgraded. He can't help but feel a little excited. His attack methods will be greatly improved. Not only the basic skills, but also the actual combat application of the gravitational lens this time really exceeded Lin Xian's expectations. He actually severely damaged the monster with the red light at the critical moment. He originally thought that it could only distort some light and be regarded as some kind of control skill. Now it seems that this skill still has a lot of room for development!
