Chapter 477: Chapter 276: Assault Before Dawn (10,000 Explosive!) (Part 5)

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian and KIKI couldn’t help but change their expressions. Lin Xian previously thought they entered the city having cleared the marks due to a fierce battle and his Gravitational Lens, while the rest in the city might more or less have Dark Marks, only that the Investigation Corps had blocked the Abnormal Bodies outside the city, ensuring temporary safety within.

But now, hearing Wei Kexue’s words, there’s no mark at all inside the city?

It’s worth noting that Xilan City has thousands of teams, numbering tens of thousands of people. How is it possible not to find any mark?

Wei Kexue and Yu Yuheng exchanged a complex look before speaking: "This situation is very unusual, so Professor Guo, Group Leader Yu, Professor Ding, and I have taken turns using different measurement modes, and we also subjected the test subjects to various biological stimuli, but the result..."

"Could it be that the experiment was flawed, or was it inaccurate from the start?" Qin Xueming from the Cosmic Team blurted out.

"No!" Wei Kexue and Yu Yuheng almost replied simultaneously.

At this moment, Wei Kexue looked at Ding Junyi and said resolutely: "Group Leader Yu, Professor Guo, Zhang Lao, and I have repeatedly studied Professor Ding’s research data. The predictive directions and observational results had no issues. Moreover, they used themselves as test subjects, using attacks from different areas by Dark Creatures as references. Even if it were a coincidence, the deductions and judgments couldn’t be so precisely accurate, and there’s no deviation whatsoever."

On the other side, Zhang Tianfang from the Warrior Team spoke up: "Using Disaster Plants for testing, are such results trustworthy?"

"This is a pattern our team found while escaping all the way here." Lin Xian responded loudly, "So I certainly believe it."

"Alright then." Zhang Tianfang said seriously: "So as you said, your Disaster Plant didn’t detect any mark, then why would there be an attack by an A-level Abnormal Body here?"

"Perhaps there are multiple types of marks. Based on this theory, it still doesn’t explain the previous attacks inside the city." Chen Xiao from the Torch Alliance stated. He was among the first to arrive in Xilan City, and they too had encountered Abnormal Body attacks before, resulting in casualties until they were subdued by the joint efforts of the major teams.

"Hey, we haven’t even found the cause yet. How can you be so sure it can’t be explained?" KIKI expressed dissatisfaction upon hearing the other’s words.

"No, no, no." Wei Kexue said to Chen Xiao, "Killing the Abnormal Body will weaken or even eliminate this mark. The current problem is..."

"Every Abnormal Body attack we’ve faced has invariably shown behavior of directly marking humans, including the Snow Demon Tide. But this time, after we entered the city, all the marks vanished. It’s a very unusual phenomenon, so I believe it’s necessary for us to conduct group tests or even exit the city to understand the Monster’s intent." Ding Junyi added.

Suddenly, the scene descended into a kind of chaotic argument.

Lin Xian just felt his head spinning. He was utterly exhausted, having just been busy the whole night intending to rest, but disaster struck out of nowhere. Seeing that enormous pit, and Yu Yuheng covered in dirt, he still didn’t know the casualty situation of the scientific team.

And the bizarre occurrences of the Monster only made Lin Xian feel a sense of helplessness.

Why? What could be the reason?

Could Ding Junyi’s research be incorrect? Impossible. If not for Ding Junyi’s theory, the Infinity wouldn’t have made it to Xilan City alive.

At this point, Lin Xian felt as if he were engulfed in a thick fog.

Standing aside, Qian Deli observed Lin Xian’s worried face quietly. Lin Xian had told him about the Dark Mark pattern back at Trakama Ice Valley. Although it couldn’t be fully confirmed, Lin Xian’s evacuation strategy, including the Joint Train’s response to the demon tide, was undoubtedly based on this judgment, and Qian Deli chose to support Lin Xian in this regard.

"Aren’t we discussing the attack now?" Qian Deli interrupted the crowd’s debate at this moment, pointing to the enormous pit on the ground in front: "Such a huge Monster attacking the lab has to have a reason, right?"

"Could it be due to the presence of Abnormal Bodies here? Didn’t you just say, you’ve captured many Abnormal Bodies for research?" Qin Xueming of the Cosmic Team said, arms crossed.

"Impossible." At this moment, He Zhen, the leader of the Investigation Corps, stepped forward: "We’ve caught plenty, and besides the lab, the weapons research institute demands even more. They are specifically used for testing weapons and defensive materials, and every region has them, not just here."

Ning Jing also spoke up: "Then what could be the reason? The location of the Industrial University is central to the city, and such a precise attack on the research building can’t be just a coincidence, right?"

"I think..."

"Alright!"

At this time, Zhao Yu harshly interrupted the discussion. He cast his gaze toward Ning Jing.

"You’re absolutely right, such a Monster wouldn’t attack the research building for no reason..." After speaking, he scanned over Ding Junyi, Wei Kexue, and the dust-covered Yu Yuheng, decisively commanding.

"He Zhen, Wen Zhuo!"

"Present!"

Zhao Yu looked at the group of dusty scientists and ordered immediately: "Arrange for the scientific team to be moved to a secure area at once, increase the number of guards and Nightwalkers to provide 24-hour vigilance. He Zhen, have Xiao He accompany the team. Whatever the scientific team requests, even if impossible, make it happen for me. The more the enemy opposes, the more it shows we’re on the right track! Ensure that the military provides the scientific team with full support!"

"Yes!" He Zhen and Wen Zhuo hurriedly accepted the command.

Lin Xian was shaken by Zhao Yu’s words, which instantly swept the situation clear like a gentle breeze.
