CHAPTER 420: CHAPTER 267: DOOMSDAY SHIFT_2

"The main reason is that I don’t have time tonight; my own train still isn’t completely repaired. Maybe after sunrise tomorrow, I’ll have time to help you take a look."

Upon hearing this, Monica’s expression relaxed, a smile spread across her face as she said brightly, "Oh~ So that’s what it is. I thought it was something else. Handsome, you really scared me~"

"It’s all right, there’s plenty of time now. Finish your work first, then come find me. In the meantime, I can take you around the city to get acquainted."

Shi Deyuan perked up at these words and turned to Qian Deli: "That’s great, why don’t we all go to that Mitchell Church to find the Nightwalker Organization and test our superpowers tomorrow, and get some worldly experience. Our people will grow as well, and next time we’ll have more means against the Abnormal Body."

"Yes, just right, several from my convoy are preparing to go."

"Both Superpower Users and Genetic Evolvers should go for testing, even if just to gain some insight." Ning Jing nodded, "Including me, I don’t even know whether I’m a Superpower User or a Genetic Evolver, how I’ve grown, how to control it. Before, it was all about running for my life and fighting; I never thought about this..."

Lin Xian looked at her: "Sister Jing, you don’t know which you belong to?"

"None of us know~" Shi Deyuan shrugged: "Her strength keeps increasing, but many Body Technique experts with Genetic Evolution do as well, so we can’t tell. Most Superpower Users are crossing the river by feeling the stones; if it weren’t for the guidance from the Phoenix Society, who would know what’s going on."

Qian Deli crossed his fingers, with a flamboyant air said, "My Divine Speed is simple, but this assessment of level, I also don’t know what purpose the testing serves. Whether I can beat the Abnormal Body can only be known by trying; unless my tested level is stronger than the Abnormal Body, can I be sure I won’t die? It’s not like a card game, Superpower Users dying in the dark are not few."

"You’re right."

Ning Jing agreed, "But I think this assessment level should be used by the Phoenix Society for observation, comparatively, those who have survived until now, their evolution level should be higher. Of course, there’s also the aspect of weapon firepower. As an official organization, they might use it to evaluate survival rates, or look for the limits of human evolution. If we can understand and adapt more proactively, we can enhance our own strength and increase our survival rate."

"For example, reaching a certain stage can help one survive longer in the night?" Monica said after half-drinking her glass of wine, "There’s some sense in that, but no one knows the logic of these dark monsters’ occurrences; who knows whether one encounters a C-level or S-class Abnormal Body?"

"Forget about all that, just test, let’s first understand our own abilities."

Shi Deyuan said seriously, "Now these ghostly things are daring to come out during the day; if Extreme Night really covers everything, then it might be chaos everywhere. To research those monsters, we need to survive until then."

Lin Xian nodded, downed his drink, feeling a surge of heat, and then set the glass down:

"Alright, let’s leave it here for now. I still have to repair the train, we’ll talk tomorrow."

After roughly understanding the situation in Xilan City, the tension from escaping the line between life and death eased slightly with the strong liquor. However, Lin Xian was not planning to continue drinking and chatting idly; facing countless sudden crises, even if he wanted to rest, he first had to complete the train’s preparation, otherwise, he’d have no peace of mind.

Shi Deyuan and Ning Jing were thinking the same way. Dragon Mountain No.1 had many people and many carriages. Without improved security, no one could sleep soundly; the chance to survive is for those prepared, which is almost all survivors’ consensus in the apocalypse.

"Alright, let’s head out then. Right now the convoy is a mess. Until it’s sorted out, we won’t feel at ease." At this time, the other convoy leaders were also preparing to leave.

"Handsome~"

Coming down from Dragon Mountain No.1, Monica suddenly called out to Lin Xian.

In the storm, a subordinate behind her draped a coat over Monica’s shoulders as she approached, handing Lin Xian a small communicator: "This is my dedicated frequency. In Xilan City, you can contact me for any problems or needs."

Lin Xian took it and glanced at her: "I never said I could definitely fix it."

Monica smiled lightly and spoke, "Someone like you, even just a promise can bring hope. Moreover, I trust Lao Qian’s judgment. Even if you can’t fix it, I hope to gain your friendship."

Lin Xian was slightly surprised; Monica’s tone of speech completely matched the flattery commonly found in wealthy circles, proud yet not obsequious or deliberately elevating others.

However, he didn’t pay much mind to it. If he had to say he was interested in something, it would be taking the opportunity to understand and observe the design of that train, scan the blueprints, which might greatly assist his future plans.

As for compensation, that was a topic for another time. Urgently, his only concern was getting his own train fixed.

Lin Xian gave her a subtle glance, didn’t say much, and only nodded lightly: "Alright."

"See you tomorrow, hope everything goes well for you."

Monica said while looking again at the train behind Lin Xian, then turned and left.

In the dead of night, the repair work on Dragon Mountain No.1 continued tirelessly, and Lin Xian also noticed that there seemed to be more than ordinary repairs here; they were systematically installing new equipment on some newly installed armor plates and weapon stations.
