The young man took it and looked it over, then raised his hand. The skin on his left wrist automatically opened, revealing a data port. He connected the storage device, took a deep breath, and then turned to leave without saying a word.
The incessant rain was full of dark, toxic infiltration. Coupled with the Federation’s issued [Outer City Curfew Suppression Order], few could be seen on the streets at night.
The young man, walking briskly, navigated through the streets, entered a nondescript building passageway, and walked through the pitch black until deafening sounds began to emerge. He pushed open a door, revealing a noisy underground bar.
All the patrons wore various weapons, and even the female waitstaff in ultra-short hot pants and black fishnet stockings had two large-caliber revolvers at their waists. A small, red orb was tattooed on the slim back waist area.
It was the design of the mysterious blood essence, exuding a bewitching beauty. But such a tattoo also had another meaning in Dawn City.
You only need to spend one blood essence for a night of romantic experience.
The hat-wearing young man moved through the bustling crowd to a corner booth. Seated there were a man and a woman, with several people of extremely high spirit vibration values standing next to the booth.
The woman was dressed in a black trench coat, exuding an elegant aura seemingly out of place in this rundown old underground bar. Contrastingly, the man wore a windbreaker, appearing sharp and dashing, sitting with keen interest in the shadows observing the various people in the bar.
The young man quickly came over and handed the storage device to the man.
The man sitting there was none other than Jiang Yun, who had previously charged up the ascent channel with Lin Xian!
The woman opposite him was Jian Xuwei, the head of the Finger Group and now the leader of the Silver Star Doomsday Train.
Jiang Yun reached out to take the item from the young man’s hand, took out his own small terminal, and opened the storage device.
Inside, there was a piece of surveillance footage.
A day ago, there was a mysterious attack case in Auckland District, Old District. This was originally a matter for the city defense patrol, as incidents involving mutant creatures in the dark of night were rampant in Dawn City. Any incident causing fewer than 50 casualties was not considered a major event.
But this event differed, as a convoy named Freedom Wind was attacked. Although not many in number, all dozen individuals were superpower users, with four at the Frenzy Level.
Strangely, the entire convoy of superpower users disappeared overnight, a mysterious event in a tightly monitored and patrolled area.
The Freedom Wind convoy was well-known in their territory, repeatedly making stands in night raids. The sudden extermination incident left all survivors in the Auckland District in turmoil.
The surveillance video was a segment from that street. All monitoring networks in Dawn City were unified by upper management, so acquiring this information was extremely confidential.
There were barely 3 seconds of footage where, in the night, a figure slightly taller than average quickly walked past a corner. As he was about to approach, the screen suddenly went black, clearly due to some electromagnetic interference.
Jiang Yun furrowed his brow, slowed down the playback, and reversed it, noticing the man wearing a strange bowler hat with attire styled from another century. Due to the distance, even with night vision, the face was unidentifiable.
A slender finger suddenly tapped on Jiang Yun’s mobile terminal, slowly dragging and then placing it on pause.
Jian Xuwei pointed at the eye area of the shadow, where a faint red glow seemed to appear in the footage.
Jiang Yun sighed heavily, solemnly saying, "Indeed, another Red Man Gu, a mechanical and mysterious creature creation. What on earth is that Deep Red World researching all the time?"
Jian Xuwei looked at the bustling crowd in the distance, her gaze serious as she said,
"Our observers noted that since Silent City emerged from Star Abyss No.5, it is now paralyzed in the Luling Forest. The Federation has already dispatched people; outside the city lie hordes of corpses, while inside, mutations and Red Man Gu roam. Coupled with resource problems, Dawn City is under internal and external threats. I suspect once they finish repairing Wall No.1 and collect the ’city defense’ tax, they will completely abandon the outer city."
"I doubt they can even finish the repairs." Jiang Yun smiled, "Hiding in the Underground City isn’t much safer. The severe water resource problem unsolved, the so-called [Century Reserve] is nothing but a joke. Now, all starship manufacturing berths at the Star Port are full; outsiders aren’t fools and can guess the Federation’s intentions."
Jian Xuwei’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, "This issue is a problem for both the Federation and the Phoenix Society. No matter how advanced water purifier technology becomes, it is meaningless if it can’t block the toxic infiltration from darkness."
"Miss Jian." Jiang Yun focused his gaze on her, playing with a wine glass in hand, "I’ve been waiting a long time for your plan."
Jian Xuwei remained calm, speaking leisurely,
"Why the rush? As night approaches, this Dawn City is about to become the eye of the storm; neither you nor I can leave. But that person has finally arrived."
"Lin Xian?" Jiang Yun’s face showed anticipation as he spoke.
"According to Fire Book intelligence from the Phoenix Order global radio, he did something significant in Xilan. Now, whether it’s the Phoenix Society, the Federation, or the Descent Faction, this mechanical superpower friend is already..."
At this point, he narrowed his eyes, speaking in a concentrated voice,
"A global target!" Follow current novels on novelꜰire.net
