CHAPTER 778: CHAPTER 343: PLANETARY TERRAFORMING

"Isn’t the colossus unobservable? How did they manage to take it out?" Ning Jing was a bit puzzled.

"It’s simple, really. Just have someone die every time they look at it. Drag it out using human lives along the way." Ryuji, wearing a black hood, spoke in a low voice. As he sat there, his hood and mask nearly covered his entire face, yet his gaze seemed fixed on KIKI’s direction. To him, it seemed this telekinesis girl’s ability made him both wary and curious.

"But... what was the purpose of doing that?" Chen Sixuan looked at Mochizuki Masashi in surprise and said, "Was it just to target Silent City and us?"

"That’s not very clear right now," Qian Suxun shrugged and said, "We can’t get external information, but Shinji has speculated that if Star Abyss No. 5 and No. 7 rapidly expand outward, then all the survivors of the Yunjiang Plain won’t be able to escape; they’d have to stay put and wait to be devoured by Star Abyss No. 3, 4, 5, and 6."

Upon hearing this, the control room immediately fell silent.

"Let’s go back to the White City Research Institute. They actually have a very simple self-preservation procedure." At this moment, Mochizuki Masashi solved the crowd’s confusion: "If the institute is attacked, they only need to use the clones to trigger the Dark Mark, causing a massive Monster Tide outbreak in the city. Those clones are expendable, and once everyone inside is dead and cleaned out, they can send in the next batch. After all, one day of slaughter in here is only two hours outside, which is extremely efficient. This is why they are so fearless."

Lin Xian looked at him, "But you’ve been active in here for so long; they will definitely take notice, right?"

"That’s why we must hurry. After all, one day for them is equivalent to twelve days in White City. We can’t survive that long." Mochizuki Masashi said with a smile.

Lin Xian nodded. At this moment, the plan to seize the transport ship was already made. The exploration team of the United Train needed to collaborate with the people of Silent City. Using the brief one-hour ebb tide of the internal tide, they would swiftly capture the Deep Red World’s transport ship and ensure the conscious memory inside wasn’t damaged. Then, taking advantage of the communication delay between inside and outside, quickly complete the joint train’s leap and execute Mochizuki Masashi’s diversion plan with the Floating City to escape overnight!

"The next action of the Deep Red World may be in 9 hours and 15 minutes." Qian Suxun, having reviewed the entire operation, looked at the time and said, "Our expectation may not be entirely accurate, so we need to prepare in advance. The margin for error shouldn’t be more than two internal tide times."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian exchanged glances with Ning Jing and the others, then said, "Okay, since we’re acting together, let you be in charge."

Silent City was evidently more familiar with White City’s situation than Lin Xian’s group, and the plan was also formulated by them, so it was better to let them lead.

"No," Qian Suxun unexpectedly smiled at this moment, "I’m not the commander. All the monitors in the city are under Shinji’s control, so we just need to unify the channels."

"Alright."

After Lin Xian spoke, he stood up, ready to take the team out to discuss and simultaneously synchronize information and plans with the United Train Team by Bottomless Lake.

The entire plan had to be interconnected. From what Mochizuki Masashi said, time was not really on their side, so they must seize the opportunity. Missing one would mean waiting for several days, and they also faced possible countermeasures prepared by Deep Red World. If they succeeded, they must complete the leap quickly during the ebb tide. Any oversight might lead to complete failure.

"Lin."

At this point, Mochizuki Masashi suddenly called out to Lin Xian, looking at him with profound intent, "Mind having a private chat?"

Lin Xian glanced at him and then turned back to look at Ning Jing and Chen Sixuan.

Ning Jing immediately understood, "Don’t worry, Captain Lin, I’ll synchronize with Lao Shi and the others."

Chen Sixuan also nodded at Lin Xian.

Subsequently, the people of Silent City and the exploration team all left the control room, leaving Lin Xian alone to face Mochizuki Masashi.

"You want to understand all the characteristics of my superpower, right?" Lin Xian directly opened up to Mochizuki Masashi, who was looking serene.

"Something like that," Mochizuki Masashi admitted openly, "I’m very curious about your superpower. Ever since that pesky merchant traded your information with me for a lot of supplies, I’ve gathered information about you through many channels. Mechanical superpower, wow, don’t you think your superpower is... very different from others’ superpowers?"

"Of course there’s a difference," Lin Xian said, speechless.

"No, no, no. That’s not what I mean," Mochizuki Masashi said with deep meaning, "You can control Xun’s ACS robot in a short time and also offline the motion module on it. So, your superpower is not merely like Ryuji’s ability to grab and take things, nor is it a kind of bodily mutation caused by dark influences, element control; your superpower has rules and creation, how should I say, your superpower is more like..."

Mochizuki Masashi looked at Lin Xian with burning eyes and said, "A specialization program from high-dimensional humans?"

Lin Xian was startled upon hearing this. He didn’t expect Mochizuki Masashi to draw such a conclusion and for a moment didn’t know how to respond.

Mochizuki Masashi smiled as he looked at him, "Sorry, I was just wildly guessing."

Without waiting for Lin Xian to respond, he abruptly shifted his gaze, looking at Lin Xian with narrowed eyes.

"Oh, by the way, is that silver bullet with you?"
