"Do you know what Phoenix Society is really doing on Palma Prairie this time?"
"Aren’t they just blocking the S-class anomaly?" KIKI crossed her arms. "Is that what you’re going to say?"
Hu Lushou wore a mysterious look and chuckled. "From what I know, this Palma Prairie operation is a large-scale experiment by Phoenix Society targeting the S-class anomaly, reportedly part of a resistance operation called... the Emperor Plan!"
Hu Lushou explained, "Before the Federation Government dissolved, there were two apocalypse plans: the Underground City Dawn Plan and the Superpower User Angel Plan. However, there was actually another plan proposed by the Interstellar Army Group Command, aiming to use humanity’s entire technological resources to create powerful warfare machinery for a devastating strike against the dark creatures. The Emperor Plan focuses on two directions: mass-producing drones, known as the Iron Bee Swarm, and creating a colossal human warfare machinery, known as Planet Titan!"
Hu Lushou looked at Lin Xian. "Lately, I’ve been gathering the details of this Palma Prairie operation, initially for migration and evacuation purposes. I discovered it might be an experiment for deploying that colossal human weapon!"
Lin Xian’s expression changed. "Colossal human warfare machinery? How big is it?"
"Who knows." Hu Lushou shrugged. "Given the current situation, I guess it failed."
He looked at Lin Xian: "Brother, your kind of superpower is definitely a perfect candidate for the Emperor Plan. If you find Phoenix Society, you’ll surely be highly regarded. Why run everywhere with such opportunities at hand? Hehe, isn’t this intel more valuable than the last one?"
Lin Xian looked at Hu Lushou with interest. He hadn’t expected this seemingly opportunistic guy to actually have principles. This intel was a complete bonus.
"This information is very useful, thank you."
"All right, I’ll have the cold-proof supplies loaded and sent over to you immediately. Brother Lin, we could say we’ve had a pleasant cooperation, right?" Hu Lushou reached out to Lin Xian, smiling.
Lin Xian shook his hand and responded, "Pleasant cooperation."
With that, he and KIKI rode away.
As Lin Xian left, Hu Lushou’s smile faded. He turned to Sun Chang and said, "Who would’ve thought, besides a Telekinesis type, there’s such a powerful superpower."
"Looks like the Foundation Research Institute sees that as well." Sun Chang replied straightforwardly.
Hu Lushou nodded. "Such a superpower, any faction would try their best to recruit. Damn, he can conjure a Gatling out of thin air, he’s better than a production line!"
Sun Chang suddenly looked at Hu Lushou: "Why did you tell him about the Emperor Plan?"
"Isn’t he a Mechanical Superpower User?" Hu Lushou shrugged. "Making a friend is better than having an enemy, especially a special friend."
He immediately told Sun Chang: "Prepare the convoy, to leave the city before dark."
"Leaving now? Which direction?"
"Head south, we’re chasing Silent City." Hu Lushou licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with craftiness. "That massive mobile Mechanical City and Phoenix Society, the Federation must be interested in this intel... "
"Plus, there’s a Mechanical Superpower User!"
On Infinity, the cold-proof supplies had been sent and loaded. Now, team members in the living area were putting thick quilts in their nests, preparing for the extreme cold weather. Cold-proof clothing and snow boots were distributed, and Chen Sixuan was called to the second carriage by Lin Xian.
Lin Xian gathered everyone, synchronized the information just obtained, and prepared to discuss the upcoming route.
"Now we can basically confirm that last night’s station mark bait is related to the Foundation. " Lin Xian said, "This might be an experiment or a warning, indicating that the crisis humanity faces might not be just the darkness itself."
"Are we being watched?" Shu Qin asked with a frown.
Ding Junyi stood at the back, saying, "For the Descent Faction, any survivor might be an enemy preventing them from establishing a new civilization. Neither the Federation nor Phoenix Society would tolerate them. As for Lin Xian, they likely covet his superpower, hoping to recruit him."
Lin Xian said bluntly, "We’ve encountered bandit convoys treating survivors as enemies before. For us, survival is the priority."
"What’s the plan now?" Chen Sixuan asked. "KIKI and Director Ding have Level 3 marks; we might face an attack tonight."
Lin Xian nodded: "So, this afternoon, I’ll get the electromagnetic gun set up, and I’ll reinforce the mecha’s firepower. KIKI~select a few people to start the mecha and conduct a mecha interference coefficient test, and rehearse a little in advance."
He now has Power Armor himself, which can greatly enhance combat strength. If he only operates the mecha, it’s like missing one person. So, Lin Xian plans to find a suitable person to operate the mecha, especially teammates without superpowers.
Ordinary people using warfare mechas, while superpower users or evolvers wear full-cover combat armor, making everyone strong in battle. This is Lin Xian’s long-term plan.
"All right!" Hearing about operating the mecha, KIKI perked up immediately.
"Lin Xian, then which route are we taking tonight?" Chen Sixuan nodded, her expression also determined.
Lin Xian opened the map using the mobile terminal, his expression slightly serious.
