CHAPTER 500: CHAPTER 280: CITYWIDE DEATH TRAP! (PART 4)

"Then what else can we do? Take down an S-Class?" Qin Xueming loudly questioned, puzzled, "Or take down something even stronger than an S-Class, just us?"

Arctic Wind Alliance’s Han Jun was the calmest at this moment. He turned to look at Lin Xian: "Captain Lin, your Unlimited Fleet is the most experienced with the Dark Mark. Is it possible that by killing a large number of those Snow Demons, we can reduce our mark concentration, making it safer or entering a silent state?"

He Zhen nodded upon hearing this: "That’s right, I think so too. The mark isn’t something that can’t be removed. Since there’s a way, we don’t have to go after the S-Class Abnormal Body."

This statement drew approving glances from everyone.

But Zhao Yu didn’t express his opinion; instead, he looked at the research team members Yu Yuheng, Ding Junyi, and Lin Xian.

"Research team, Unlimited Fleet, what’s your take?"

Yu Yuheng spoke up at this moment: "I... I just feel that things aren’t that simple."

Ding Junyi nodded: "Have you thought about why, after we were marked, those Monster Tides retreated?"

"Uh..."

Qin Xueming looked surprised: "Damn, that’s really sneaky."

Han Jun’s face also turned serious. This sounded as if the monster secretly watching Xilan City had a certain level of intelligence, and this attack was a premeditated setup...

Clearing the marks, letting more survivors exist in Xilan City, then suddenly attacking the city when everyone felt more secure, inciting fear, marking the entire city, and attempting to drive everyone away!

If we evacuate now, those with a Level 5 mark wouldn’t survive to Quan City, and staying here is also a dead end; everyone faces the terrifying booming creatures above the clouds and... something even more terrifying yet unknown!

At this moment, everyone seemed to face...

The city’s dead end!

This moment made everyone feel a chill down their spine.

"Lin," Shi Deyuan said quietly, frowning, to Lin Xian beside him, "What can we do? Aren’t we doomed?"

Lin Xian’s expression was complicated. He, too, felt a strong sense of unease, and for the first time, felt the terror of being dominated by the Dark Creatures.

"Oh dear~ Looks like these monsters really plan to devour us humans like dumplings," Qian Deli sighed deeply, stroking the fur on his body, "Maybe it’s better to go back, have a few drinks, and then take a risk."

Hearing this, Lin Xian looked at Qian Deli, then his expression changed slightly.

"You’re right, taking a risk might still offer us a chance."

When everyone was somewhat at a loss, Lin Xian suddenly shouted, immediately drawing everyone’s attention to him.

"If we take the risk, there might be a turnaround!"

Qian Deli’s expression was indescribable, and he whispered over, "Hey, when I said take a risk, I just meant making a break for it, no turnaround."

He Zhen, Wen Zhuo, Han Jun, and others looked at Lin Xian.

Zhao Yu spoke up, "Captain Lin, tell us your idea."

At this moment, a crazy thought was brewing continuously in Lin Xian’s mind, causing his chest to heave uncontrollably. His eyes flickered, then immediately focused sharply as he said, "What if... we don’t retreat tomorrow?"

"If we don’t retreat, we’re dead, right?"

"Exactly..."

Chen Xiao and others spoke up immediately upon hearing this, but were interrupted by Zhao Yu raising his hand. He looked earnestly at Lin Xian: "Continue."

"If we don’t retreat tomorrow, at most we’ll face the Extreme Night, but is the Extreme Night necessarily terrifying? If we have no marks on us and enter a silent mode, we might safely pass the edge of Star Abyss No.5!!!"

Lin Xian looked up at Zhao Yu and said urgently: "We tried before, without marks, in the dark there’s a high chance of encountering nothing unless we’re extremely unlucky and walk into a monster’s territory."

Zhao Yu frowned, "You mean to use a day to solve the mark, but the problem is that the monster won’t give us that chance, and it might lead another even more..."

"What if we kill it!!"

Before Zhao Yu could finish, Lin Xian suddenly shouted, "Since this monster wants to mark us and make us its meal, we should just slaughter this beast, completely remove the Level 5 mark on us, and the Extreme Night gathering time is the day after tomorrow afternoon, that bigger one is likely to arrive through tides in the Extreme Night or Extreme Cold Vortex. This time gap is precisely the opportunity for us!!"

Upon this statement, everyone’s expressions began to change.

"You mean, we take down an S-Class Abnormal Body?" Han Jun frowned.

"But that monster intentionally hides, isn’t it said to be a Scout?" Qin Xueming also spoke.

"Yeah, even if we want to take it down, if it doesn’t come out, we can’t do anything," Zhang Tianfang said.

At this time, Yu Yuheng nodded: "That thing is always hiding in the clouds, it’s hard to find, it’s just hiding to monitor us..."

"Not necessarily!"

Lin Xian said sharply, "First of all, if it really is a Scout, marking the whole city with a Level 5 mark is its goal. So far, we’ve marked only 64% of the city, so this task is not complete, so if we do not evacuate tomorrow night, there will likely be another attack, and that sea urchin will use the same trick again."

"You mean, strike when it marks again?" Starfire Leader Wen Zhuo frowned and asked.
