CHAPTER 601: CHAPTER 303: FAREWELL, BROTHER HUO! (PART 2)

He ventured out alone driving the RV and escaped at dawn, originally having fled from the laboratory.

"Brother Lin, help me apologize to Brother Lou; I can’t be his roommate anymore. Honestly, I didn’t mind the noise he made cleaning weapons at night. Also, apologize to that girl Sha Sha for me. Her Brother Lu can’t get her a new mecha. And Captain Chen, Sister Shu Qin, Director Ding..."

"And... KIKI," Lu Xingchen said as he looked at KIKI, tears streaming down, somewhat defiantly adding, "You’re a formidable opponent. It’s... it’s my honor to fight alongside you, but my fire will never be defeated!"

As he said this, Lu Xingchen, shedding his usual aloof demeanor, started crying uncontrollably, yet he still stood tall, displaying determination and resilience.

KIKI’s reaction was complex upon hearing this; she was about to say something when Lin Xian took advantage of Lu Xingchen’s crying to call out to her softly.

"KIKI, restrain him quickly!"

Without a second thought, KIKI, whose synergy with Lin Xian had reached 100%, instinctively activated her superpower, firmly restraining the tearful Lu Xingchen.

At the same moment, Lin Xian activated his power armor, sprinting towards Lu Xingchen in a few swift strides. Before Lu Xingchen could react, Lin Xian tore off his upper garment and scanned him with the bio-scanner integrated into his power armor.

Sure enough, Lu Xingchen’s entire upper body and arms were a bluish-black hue, appearing quite horrifying!

"Brother Lin, be careful not to get infected, don’t come near me!!!"

Tears filled Lu Xingchen’s bloodshot eyes as he shouted mournfully.

Upon completing the scan, Lin Xian looked bewildered and then examined the torn clothing in his hand, contemplating for quite a while.

"Are you sure it’s just the discoloration of the autumn wear?"

Lu Xingchen, who was all set to heroically sacrifice himself, heard this and his tear-streaked face suddenly stopped.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, KIKI rushed over, took a piece of Lu Xingchen’s clothing, and examined it, frowning involuntarily.

"Indeed, where did you find this autumn wear?"

"It was sourced from earlier." Lin Xian picked up the autumn wear and examined it: "It’s probably due to the underground tunnels being too damp. I warned about it yesterday, but the quality of this thing is really poor."

"Yeah, what kind of lousy clothes, fading so much, making the person look like a cucumber..." KIKI said as she rubbed Lu Xingchen’s shoulder, wiping off a large patch of bluish-black dye.

"No choice, you wear whatever clothes you can find. Brother Huo even liked it, thought it looked cool..."

"Cool guys don’t wear autumn wear."

"The quality is awful, and the style isn’t great either..."

The two began analyzing Lu Xingchen’s autumn wear in front of him.

Meanwhile, Lu Xingchen felt like a nuclear bomb had exploded in his mind, his whole body heating up, ready to explode on the spot!

"K... KIKI, could you please let me go first?" Lu Xingchen, still tear-streaked, spoke with a trembling voice.

KIKI put her hands on her hips and questioned, "Let you go for what? Are you still planning to blow up the Heavenly Mushroom Tower?"

Lu Xingchen took a deep breath, speaking decisively, attempting to salvage something: "In times of crisis, if we must retreat now, detonating the Heavenly Mushroom Tower for the livelihood of thousands is definitely the best option!!!"

Lin Xian nodded in agreement, speaking sincerely: "Good idea, but isn’t there a way without sacrificing oneself, like... I create a timed bomb?"

"Right!" KIKI’s eyes lit up, immediately agreeing with the proposal.

Lu Xingchen: "..."

...

Boom!

Suddenly, due to the anomaly occurring at the Heavenly Mushroom Tower, the entire network of mushroom threads within Yijin City seemed to be transmitting information, and in the darkness, numerous unknown creatures began to stir through the city’s streets.

Looming silhouettes could be seen faintly in the fog, each step causing tremors in the streets, and beneath the Yijin Bank where Lin Xian and the others were located, loud booming sounds started echoing.

"The Abnormal Bodies are here, don’t get marked with the Dark Mark!"

Seeing this, Lin Xian immediately signaled to KIKI, who promptly used her telekinesis to lift the three of them high into the sky.

Lin Xian’s face changed as he realized that the dark torrents seemed to be flowing toward multiple subway entrances, feeling that Director Ding’s speculation was correct. Once the Heavenly Mushroom Tower connected with Tang Yun’s consciousness, it sensed Lin Xian’s group’s presence, mobilizing all the monsters in Yijin City to search for them!

He had no time to ponder the theoretical aspects; knowing that if they didn’t run now, it would definitely be too late.

"Brother Shi, Teacher Chen, everyone move now!"

"Got it!" Brother Shi’s voice immediately came through.

"Lin Xian, where are you guys?!" Chen Sixuan shouted into the communicator upon getting the notice.

Lin Xian glanced at the Heavenly Mushroom Tower, speaking to KIKI: "There’s no time to go back, we’re going to detonate the Heavenly Mushroom Tower, then chase the train from above."

KIKI nodded hastily upon hearing this.

Then Lin Xian said to Chen Sixuan: "Just speed up and head out; we’ll meet at the junction of the Salt Marsh Canyon Scenic Railway and the main railway!"

On the Infinity, Chen Sixuan, upon hearing Lin Xian’s words, looked worriedly anxious and then gritted her teeth: "Alright, I understand."
