Chapter 439: Chapter 270: Special List (10,000 Surges!) (Part 5)

"Is Lin Xian from the A-level list, belonging to the Infinity convoy, already registered?"

"Yes, 15 minutes ago, a total of 10 people from the convoy were registered in the fifth batch of the detection team," reported an assistant from behind.

"Alright, I understand."

At that moment, his expression sharpened, as if he sensed something. Suddenly, his entire body vanished into a blur and appeared ten meters away at the office desk, where he promptly caught a thief sneaking around stealing things from his desk.

"Wow, haven’t seen you for a month, and you’ve gotten faster,"

The man caught ’red-handed’ was not alarmed; instead, he laughed helplessly and reluctantly put down the bottle of Apricot Flower Fen liquor that even Wen Zhuo was unwilling to drink.

Wen Zhuo snatched back his treasured possession from the man’s hand, his expression turning from cold to a rare smile.

"Get lost, there’s no way I’m giving you the treasure I earned with half a month’s action points!"

The failed ’heist’ left Zhou Wuer with an embarrassed smile as he said, "So petty, at least let me have a taste."

In the freezing cold, being able to savor such liquor at the storm front edge during Extreme Night was naturally delightful.

"Not a drop."

Wen Zhuo sternly opened the drawer and stuffed the bottle inside, saying with a serious look, "Besides, it’s work hours now. Nightwalker regulations prohibit drinking, and even if you’re part of the unit, I have the right to report you to your superior and request disciplinary action."

"Do you think I’m afraid~"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wuer assumed an unbothered expression, sitting back in the chair with his hands behind his head, looking completely relaxed, "You’re working, but our Postman squad is on break, currently on standby, directed by Supervisor Zhao. So now, ~I’m enjoying my leisure~"

Wen Zhuo glanced sideways, and there sat Zhou Wuer’s partner, Peng Peng, with a game console in hand, playing comfortably. So, Wen Zhuo spoke gravely.

"With all this time, you should really train your superpower. Plus, with the mounting pressure on the stationed troops, your Postman squad might be called to reinforce the front lines at any moment."

"Train for what?" Zhou Wuer chuckled lightly, snapped his fingers, and instantly, Wen Zhuo’s office computer gradually became transparent and strangely disappeared from sight. "Before joining the Phoenix Society, who was it that told me my superpower held strategic significance and had great potential? You see, its greatest use is self-preservation."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers again, and the computer reappeared.

His superpower was unusual, allowing a certain item within a given range to enter optical invisibility.

"Isn’t self-preservation a skill?"

"Wen Zhuo replied earnestly, "You joined the Postman because you thought it could better utilize your superpower, it wasn’t me who made you choose."

"Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter~"

Zhou Wuer appeared entirely at ease: "A rare chance to rest for two days, so I’m just kicking back here. You, as a Starfire Department expert, have to train those surviving superpower users arriving to test their powers every day, saying that superpower users have a natural disadvantage in body technique evolution compared to genetic enhancers, so they should focus more on developing their superpowers. Well, I took your words to heart, so training body techniques and such, superpower users like me and Peng Peng won’t be participating."

Wen Zhuo heard this and coldly snorted: "You brat, don’t think I don’t know you’re secretly practicing your skills with Jingtian, stop pretending to be lazy in front of me."

"By the way," he abruptly changed the subject: "Among today’s detection sequence, there seem to be two special list individuals, one named Lin Xian and the other KIKI. You were the one who interacted with and issued them the Phoenix Order, right?"

"Yes, a Mechanical Superpower User, and a Telekinesis, both are here today."

Zhou Wuer scratched his nose: "But Lin Xian had something come up, he might be a bit late."

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhuo nodded, pondering: "Mechanical Superpower User, interesting, not just headquarters, even I’m quite intrigued."

"Don’t mislead them, they have no intention of joining Nightwalker, and I heard the Emperor Plan seems interested in this individual too..."

"Emperor Plan? Aren’t they dealing with mechas?"

Wen Zhuo stopped himself, a flicker appearing in his gaze, saying no more.

...

Meanwhile, Lin Xian and Shi Deyuan were traveling in Monica’s car heading north to the Xilan Railway Station. They had actually passed by here last night but had to switch to the mining line heading toward the western side’s Fenglan Mine Freight Platform due to all tracks, including maintenance spurs, being occupied.

Xilan City was built along the mountain, once a major strategic city of the West, filled with bunkers. Heavy fortifications concentrated mainly towards the East and North. The North was the direction where Lin Xian entered yesterday, a canyon landscape, with the famous Xilan Refinery located twenty kilometers outside the city. Whereas the East faced the Palma Prairie, an open terrain, and before the extreme cold storm arrived, roads were accessible, with multiple highways, national roads, and rail lines running through here.

There’s also a medium-sized airport in the North that originally served military and civilian purposes, now mainly as the base for the Phoenix Society’s interstellar army aviation combat unit. A Dreadnought-class aerospace carrier was docked here, visible from the heights like an immense steel beast.

Monica and her team led Lin Xian and Shi Deyuan through several streets to an underground platform entrance of the railway station. Following behind, Lin Xian discovered a few train sets parked here.
