Squeak~
The automatic door quickly opened, and Shi Zhi stood nervously at the entrance: "Sorry, Iâm here to offer support."
Lin Xian pointed to the button outside the door: "Actually, you can open the door by pressing here."
"Well, I know youâre having a meeting, so..." Shi Zhiâs voice sounded soft and gentle. Looking at the room full of people, she quickly asked, "Is this a good time?"
"What kind of support?" Lin Xian suddenly perked up.
Shi Zhi stood straight with her feet together and said, "...Itâs just me. Shinji asked me to go into the city with you."
"Huh?" Lin Xianâs eyes widened: "Itâs not..."
"Thereâs also a âSwordfishâ transport ship, and by the way, the Sky-Based Weapons Xun you requested has been delivered to the platform next to the Infinity."
Lin Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "This guy really is..."
He looked at Shi Zhi in front of him, smiled, and then said in a friendly manner: "Going to Dawn City might be quite dangerous, different from dealing with the Abnormal Body, I should tell you in advance, but, youâre very welcome to join us."
Shi Zhi felt Lin Xianâs friendliness and nervously said, "Thank you, I wonât be afraid, unless... you keep staring at me..."
Lin Xian frowned. He had previously noticed that this girl wasnât afraid of the dead or the Abnormal Body, yet seemed a bit scared of people staring at her, a personality that was endearingly quirky.
However, he didnât say anything, shifted his gaze, and invited Shi Zhi into the main bridge.
Now that they had transportation, everyone needed to discuss the action plan.
"The gates of Dawn City have comprehensive surveillance and detection systems, and youâre currently a high-priority target of the Federation, so trying to sneak in with power armor or other methods wonât work," Jian Xuwei said at this time.
"Then it seems you have another solution, Chairman Jian." Lin Xian looked at her.
Jian Xuwei stated directly: "Youâre right, even though the Federationâs setups look strict on the surface, there are many ways to enter the city."
"Then weâd better not delay. If Iâm not mistaken, Jiang Yun will meet us, right?"
"Yes."
"Lin Xian." Chen Sixuan spoke up: "Shouldnât we take more people?"
"No need, too many people will attract attention. Once weâre in the city, NAUF people will operate with us." Lin Xian checked the time: "As usual, Teacher Chen and Brother Shi will monitor here, Sister Jing, Qian Deli, Monica, KIKI, and Shi Zhi will go with me, and we might as well bring Brother Huo."
"And me," Jian Xuwei added blandly.
"Right, I almost forgot about your Silver Star," Lin Xian said.
"Thatâs not my main reason," Jian Xuwei explained. "The situation inside the city is very complex, my team is there, Jiang Yun and I can help you control the entire city defense network."
Lin Xian nodded: "That makes sense."
"Alright, letâs go with that." Qian Deli stood up gracefully and put on his sunglasses: "Ah, Star City, no, Dawn City, Iâm finally returning to this memorable Night City."
"What, nostalgic for your old wild partying days?" Monica replied with a laugh.
"I donât like wild partying; itâs too vulgar. I pursue a life of art, do you understand?" Qian Deli adjusted his flashy suit, his chin up in pride.
"Lin Xian."
As everyone prepared to depart, Chen Sixuan stopped Lin Xian in the corridor: "Why arenât you taking me with you? My identity should make it easier to move around, right? Itâs been so long, and youâre still on guard duty?"
"Itâs not about guarding the train now, itâs about guarding the city."
"Guarding the city?"
"Yes." Lin Xian looked at her seriously: "The Infinity, Joint Train, Sky Dome Train, and Silent City are all in Jin Hai, and the Phoenix Society is in Qingbo. The Iron Guard Brigade is closing in from the east, the situation could rapidly escalate, but we are surrounded by three Star Abysses. If a crisis arises, we must be well-prepared."
Chen Sixuan was slightly surprised by his words, but then her expression changed. She took a deep breath and nodded.
"I understand, leave this side to me."
"Alright."
With Jian Xuwei absent and Shi Deyuan monitoring the industrial districtâs defenses, Mochizuki Masashiâs Silent City, along with the Phoenix Society, had separate action plans approaching, and with thousands of people inside and outside, as well as the Sky Dome Train, Lin Xian could only leave Chen Sixuan to hold down the fort.
At this time, a âSwordfishâ transport ship was docked in the square, a small, fast-moving transport aircraft.
Lin Xian arrived at the platform where the Infinity was docked and saw from afar two terrifying devices laid out horizontally like large rockets, placed on a special launch traction frame and covered with a rainproof cloth.
"Finally seeing this thing."
Lin Xian hurried over, the closer he got, the more he realized how gigantic it was. The missileâs diameter exceeded the width of the Infinityâs train, and its length was over 70 meters, like an enormous intercontinental missile. But Lin Xian knew this thing was a directed constraint weapon, and its destructive power could be much greater than that of an intercontinental missile. After it transformed in the air, it resembled the hilt of a giant sword, which was indeed exciting.
"What is this thing?" KIKI walked over at this time.
"Hai Bo Long Oriented Constraint Cannon, from Mochizuki Masashi," Lin Xian replied.
"A space-based weapon, he really is generous." Jian Xuwei came up, equally surprised. "The value of this one alone is enough to fully arm a medium-sized caravan of two thousand people. Now, these kinds of weapons are used by large organizations like Dawn City and the Phoenix Society to deal with S-Class threats, the advantage of high-energy focus is more valuable than the chain reaction of nuclear bombs."
"As expected of Deputy Jian, such a wealth of knowledge."
