CHAPTER 782: CHAPTER 345: THE OBSERVER

White City, West Mountain Tunnel, three teams swiftly left the shadows, each heading in different directions.

Lin Xian had the heaviest task, with two large drones from Silent City carrying two sets of Magnetic Control Energy Deceleration Array Devices behind him; he had to complete the scanning en route. Two sets obviously weren’t enough to ’catch’ the Joint Train.

In addition, Lin Xian placed Grace at the forefront to pave the way, while Brother Huo, KIKI, Chen Sixuan, and Shi Zhi followed closely on his sides.

The city’s silhouette ahead was pitch black, and the team could only rely on the navigation route on the holographic panel, as well as night vision and radar systems, to distinguish the environment in the darkness. Although Silent City had set up detection facilities in many places across the entire city, the range was sadly limited. To avoid running headlong into some Abnormal Body, Lin Xian chose to speed across the rooftops along the street, which had the advantages of speed, and generally no monster would occupy the rooftops.

However, the downside was that the team’s goal was quite exposed, so they had to act quickly.

[Unknown creature sighted ahead at a higher level!]

Just as Lin Xian and the others had leaped onto a low building, a warning message suddenly came from Grace up ahead.

The group halted their steps, and Lin Xian opened White City’s map, readjusting the route.

"Go down!"

Lin Xian ordered, then immediately activated the power armor and leapt into an underground parking garage. According to the route plan, there was a path underneath that crossed two streets, leading into an underground pedestrian street.

As a mountain city, White City was full of such complex tunnels, with underground tunnels connecting garages, and overpasses crossing the roofs of residential buildings, making it not uncommon.

It was also for this reason that this dense jungle-like mountain city appeared particularly oppressive in the deathly silence and darkness at this time.

Thud!

Grace jumped down from high above, quickly chasing after Lin Xian.

At this moment, the optical system of everyone’s power armor was turned on, casting a pale glow in the underground garage, the air filled with dust, and only the metal roar of the mecha’s rush echoed around.

Flying, KIKI put up a Telekinesis Shield, being particularly cautious in the enclosed environment.

Brother Huo also had a ball of flame clenched in his palm at all times, firstly for vigilance, and secondly to use the heat to ward off the creeping chill.

"Lin Xian!"

At this time, Chen Sixuan suddenly stopped, setting up her gun and aiming deep into the right front of the garage.

"What is it?"

"Something’s coming."

"I feel it too." Shi Zhi responded swiftly, retreating behind the group, raising her hand to use her superpower to link everyone together. For a moment, the others felt a sensation surging from their feet as if they had ingested the Cold Dark Reagent. Shi Zhi’s superpower not only temporarily drove away the darkness invading their bodies but also enhanced some of the spiritual power of the Superpower Users.

It’s no wonder that earlier in the plaza, Ryuji and Tianye Lan could quickly cope with the many experts from Lin Xian’s side without falling into a disadvantage initially. At this moment, he also realized the benefits of this peculiar superpower.

However, he had no time to think further, and upon hearing Chen Sixuan’s words, he immediately maneuvered 25 Thunder Falcon Drones to rotate forward and explore.

"Grace, support!"

[Understood]

Simultaneously, Grace dashed out, but just then, Chen Sixuan’s expression changed as if she heard something, and turned her gun to the left darkness and fired!

Bang!

"Over here!"

Click click click, following the gunshot, a sudden rush of crawling noises erupted. Lin Xian turned his head, the white light from the electric light shining over, and saw a large, humanoid monster with a bizarre sharp snout making a humming sound in a corner. Instantly, a wave of black gas sprayed out in all directions!

"Retreat!"

Lin Xian knew that Chen Sixuan’s shot had definitely hit, but the monster’s full appearance was still unclear. The sharp Sound Roar, much like a previous encounter with a red-headed light, immediately caused everyone’s vision to flicker momentarily in a bizarre manner, various bloody and terrifying images flashing constantly in front of their eyes.

Fear Invasion!

"We’ve been marked!" Shi Zhi’s voice followed, Silent City had the most advanced Soul Swinging Value Detector, capable of accurately scanning the marks on the human body.

Squeal!

The sharp buzzing continued to reverberate and rise in pitch throughout the basement, raising dust on the ground with its sound waves.

Simultaneously, Lin Xian and Brother Huo were the first to act.

"Fire Fist!"

The massive fireball, along with Lin Xian’s drone’s pulse beam, instantly illuminated the entire basement. The fire and explosion immediately devoured the unknown monster, completely demolishing the supporting pillars and ventilation ducts simultaneously.

Just then, a rumble came from Grace’s side, and an object that looked like a human head flew from afar and rolled to Lin Xian’s feet.

In the light, Grace grabbed a bizarre human head with spider legs, performing a backflip in mid-air before landing, smashing the constantly crawling head with spider legs onto the ground, all while alerting the team.

[Be careful, Human Gu approaching!]

Boom, just after saying that, the wall next to Grace exploded open, and a mighty impact directly knocked down a few columns. KIKI, using telekinesis, blew away all the concrete debris, clearing the dust.

Behind the wall, a butcher-like humanoid creature stood there, the swollen, ’Human Gu’-like being wearing an anti-toxic mask and tattered gear, completely mutated with greenish skin.
