Chapter 307: Chapter 240: Joint Shelter (11,000-word update to make up for the 13th missed update, requesting monthly votes!)_7
Over a hundred vehicles of the Survivor Caravan circle the train, forming a defensive formation. Looking out, a dark mass looms, creating a feeling of impending battle in the air.
Buzz, on the horizon, mysterious lights flicker.
It’s as if the world’s curtain is drawn down by a wave of darkness, the horizon, once under the glow of the sunset, is instantly covered by the black night!
In a flash, everyone’s breath halts for a moment.
Lin Xian stands in the cockpit, his gaze fixed ahead.
In each carriage, each team is on high alert. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
All around is silence, only the sound of insects and wind whistling, with the dry treetops rustling endlessly.
The Mechanical Heart runs through the entire train. Surprisingly, the anticipated Abnormal Body assault hasn’t occurred; everything remains as quiet as before.
"What’s going on? Could it be that there are no Abnormal Bodies in this area?" Chen Sixuan whispers, holding the Meteor 3 that Lin Xian made for her.
"That’s possible." Lin Xian looks around, his expression very serious, "But I’m more worried about another situation."
As he speaks, he glances at Chen Sixuan, who immediately understands his meaning. They both head towards car number 3.
If there’s no Abnormal Body attack, apart from sheer luck, it’s also possible that there is a large Abnormal Body in this area, making this its territory!
The two quickly step into car number 3 and gaze at the Hell Black Chrysanthemum.
"Director Ding."
Ding Junyi stands beside them, "No changes, no overlapping markers."
Lin Xian frowns. Abnormal things always have a reason. This sudden calm feels bizarre, especially given that they carry a Level 3 Dark Mark, making it even more eerie.
Lin Xian picks up the intercom, "Anyone notice anything unusual?"
"No."
"Nothing detected for now."
"Brother Lin, nothing."
Each team replies.
"Could it be that the dark creatures in this area were attracted away by other survivor teams, or have they been cleared?"
Chen Sixuan’s suggestion provides Lin Xian with a new train of thought.
"That’s certainly a possibility," Ding Junyi also shares her thoughts.
Lin Xian now arrives at car number 2, looking at the exterior surveillance from the information center, but finds nothing.
Just as he’s about to breathe a sigh of relief, a sentry system surveillance screen from one of the car roof’s sides catches Lin Xian’s attention.
The infrared night vision surveillance image seems narrower.
"What’s wrong?" Chen Sixuan, standing by his side, asks, puzzled by Lin Xian’s reaction.
"What is this?" Lin Xian points to the black narrow edge next to the image, then switches to an adjacent monitor, and this time, the image’s narrow edge shifts from the left to the right.
Chen Sixuan doesn’t understand, "I don’t see anything?"
"There’s something here."
Lin Xian frowns deeply, speaking in a heavy tone.
He then opens the visor, looking in the direction of that surveillance.
The direction faces the woods, but now, with black clouds obscuring the moon and no stars in sight, the sky is as black as ink, and the outline of the woods is barely visible.
Seeing Lin Xian’s action, Chen Sixuan immediately steps forward, "Let me see."
She raises the Meteor 3, enabling the intelligent night vision aiming system. With her vision evolved through genetic evolution, Chen Sixuan sees very sharply in the dark, and with the aid of the sniper scope, she perceives much clearer than Lin Xian.
"11 o’clock direction, that stretch of woods, take a look." Lin Xian says.
Chen Sixuan aims, and as she adjusts her sight, her previously relaxed expression suddenly tightens!
"What did you see?"
"Lin Xian, there’s a person standing on that woods!" Chen Sixuan’s voice is icy, with a hint of terror in her tone.
Standing on the woods?
It sounds extremely eerie, why would someone stand on the woods?
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, at 11 o’clock direction, that person is very tall!" Chen Sixuan speaks sharply. In her sniper scope, deep within the broadleaved forest under the night, a figure resembling a human stands quietly, extremely tall, seeming about twenty meters high, with a pair of straight legs standing in the woods, unmoving.
Chen Sixuan slowly raises her gun, wanting to clearly see the face of that tall figure, but finds she cannot.
But at this point, it’s entirely certain that this is definitely a presence of the night!
