CHAPTER 511: CHAPTER 282: MIST CROWN CLOAK (10,000 BURST!)

Woo!

High above, a transport aircraft swiftly departed Xilan City under the escort of several Lightning 2 aerospace fighters, heading southeast. At this moment, the air defense weapons in the Southern City and East City had all activated their fire control radar, with Wen Zhuo personally leading a team of aerial Superpower Users for a short distance. Everyone was anxiously watching the departure of the reboot team.

But as expected, after being tagged with a Level 5 mark, the surroundings of Xilan City did not suffer any attacks, even though it was still not yet dawn.

Watching the transport aircraft disappear into the blizzard, Wen Zhuo, flying in the air with the escort squadron, had a sharp gaze as he muttered, "I hope the Postman group can be this smooth too."

On the transport aircraft, Lin Xian and the members of the Emperor Plan Team all had tense expressions. After Apocalypse Day, high-altitude flying became extremely dangerous. So far, Lin Xian had never encountered a monster in the sky that was easy to handle. Even the Zombie Crows of Jiazhou City had caused them severe losses. If the Flying Device were to crash, even wearing Power Armor, Lin Xian found it difficult to ensure a safe landing.

After a period of steady flight, apart from the continuous thundering in the sky, the entire flying squadron did not encounter any attacks, making Yu Yuheng both relieved and heavy-hearted.

"We’re marked with a Level 5 tag, yet those monsters deliberately avoid attacking us. It’s terrifying."

Chen Wei sneered, "Clearly, in that monster’s eyes, we’re all doomed prey."

Lin Xian felt somewhat surprised. He had been prepared for a breakout battle, but this calm actually made him feel more dangerous.

Because it’s very contradictory.

"Strange, if the whole city were to evacuate now, would they attack or not?"

"It’s not that simple." Yu Yuheng adjusted his glasses, "Captain Lin, I’ve been thinking, why did that monster specifically mark us with a Level 5 tag? In your research data, even thousands of ordinary Snow Demons only accumulate to at most a Level 4 tag. If a Level 5 mark is something special, or a signal released by that monster for specific entities, that would make sense."

Lin Xian furrowed his brows, "For creatures in the Extreme Night?"

"It’s possible, so you’re right, we must not enter the Extreme Night with this tag, not even to the edges of the Star Abyss, as it might be beyond our capability." Yu Yuheng said gravely, "And another thing, the range that the S-Class monster can affect must be limited, and it also doesn’t know whether we are evacuating or maintaining the city, because it makes no difference to them."

Hearing this, Lin Xian nodded, "Staying in Xilan City makes us its prey, its offering, and leaving its territory only makes us prey to other Extreme Night creatures..."

"Well, this beast sure acts like a henchman." Chen Wei chuckled, "Going through all this trouble just to offer us as sacrifices?"

Lin Xian pondered silently without speaking.

Star Abyss, Extreme Night.

What exactly are these creatures in the dark? They understand evolution, using the Star Abyss to cover the light, all with the aim of massacring humans.

Buzz buzz~

Outside the transport aircraft, the sound of airflow turbulence was heard. As the flight continued, the tense atmosphere inside the cabin eased slightly. Many of the Emperor Plan’s researchers resumed their work, and at this time, Sun Kai and Jingtian led a few soldiers from the escort team into the cabin, distributing several custom metal boxes to the researchers, including Yu Yuheng, Chen Wei, and Lin Xian; each received a box.

Lin Xian opened it and found it was a black cloak from the Nightwalker Organization!

"Director Zhao instructed this; it’s the Mist Crown Cloak from the Nightwalker Organization, made of special materials, featuring bulletproof, fireproof effects, and hardened wings for short-distance gliding. Most importantly, it can reduce detection by Dark Creatures to a certain extent." Jingtian explained.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei frowned and asked Sun Kai, who was distributing, "Lao Sun, why did you only bring this out now?"

Sun Kai looked at Jingtian and said helplessly, "That’s what the instructions from above said. I’m not quite sure why either."

"It’s not complicated. If we encountered numerous attacks right after leaving the city, we could still abort the mission under the protection of city defense and the escort group. But after leaving, we’d have to rely on ourselves." Lin Xian took out the cloak and looked at it with a complex expression, "Director Zhao’s idea should be that once out of the controlled range, this thing could help us even a little."

"Exactly." Sun Kai nodded at Lin Xian.

Lin Xian touched it and found that the material and design of the cloak were very intricate, made by assembling hexagonal small plates of some special synthetic material, seemingly able to absorb light, quite mysterious.

He then directly activated the Mechanical Heart for a quick scan.

[Scan successful, acquired a honeycomb matrix profile made of tungsten carbide fiber material.]

Lin Xian triggered the sensing switch on it. A tiny current passed through, and immediately, all the hexagonal small plates of the cloak contracted tightly, transforming into an aerodynamic wing panel for gliding. Upon triggering the switch again, the entire cloak loosened with a rustle. Its overall weight was not heavy, and it had no motor-like power, completely relying on its special materials and structure.

Lin Xian watched in amazement. This design was simply astonishing. He thought if used for certain special modifications, it might have broader developmental prospects.
