Since the list had been submitted, the organization would select three suitable squads from the submitted names citywide by tomorrow, to head to this naturally occurring Grey Zone where a “tunnel” had formed.
Inside Zion, several squads were making preparations for this.
An ancient castle structure adorned with countless gears constantly spouting steam,
Looking up, one could also see the steel Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
Less than 15% of the gentlemen in Zion had ever seen the true face of the Power Station.
Ludwig Reagan was in the depths of the Power Station, inside a private laboratory permitted by the station master, making his final preparations to leave the city.
In the midst of his busyness,
As he twisted his body, he aligned his back with the activated exoskeleton spine.
The latter immediately detected ‘compatible points’ and crawled up his back like centipedes.
Feeling the cold metal appendages scraping against his back, Ludwig Reagan felt no fear; instead, he just turned his head slightly and smiled warmly at the woman he loved most in his life.
“Just wait a moment for me, it will be over soon,” he said.
The smile did not last long.
The metallic vertebrae crawling on his back held still as the appendages began to seek out the corresponding [points]
Shh~ The cold metal spikes pierced into his body and into his spine in an instant, officially initiating ‘neural integration’ and ‘energy storage modification’.
Ah! A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the lab.
Reagan almost passed out on the spot,
The sound of pain touched Faye, who was nearby, causing her simple thought processes to react, and she slowly drifted over to embrace Reagan in her arms.
As the pain in his spine gradually subsided, the extremly exhausted Reagan slowly fell asleep in the embrace, collapsing sideways in the laboratory.
A strong and stable current flickered in his almost closed eyes.
Yi Chen reported on the tasks he undertook in Cesimani as usual to his tutor.
Qian Bosen naturally saw through his student’s thoughts, “Are you really not satisfied with the ‘Dual Attribute Relic’?”
“Let’s give it a try~ Just treat it as a trial for the mission, and wouldn’t it be better if we really found a ‘Three Attribute Relic’?”
“The ‘Relic Incident’ is entirely different from the usual tasks you undertake because you will have to contact [Channels] and venture into truly dangerous areas of the old world.
However, newly discovered channels, especially those in medium and sparse Grey Zones, tend to be safer.
Additionally, the ‘Skin Content’ of your outfit should further ensure your activity issues there, and the Watcher will also decide whether you are qualified to pass through the channel.
Since you’ve decided to go, I won’t say much more.
Just to be safe, take a tube of ‘Dusk thin silver liquid’… after all, one bottle has plenty, and the remaining amount should be enough for your subsequent use.”
“Okay,” Yi Chen replied.
After saying goodbye to Qian Bosen, he followed him to Zed’s Paradise. Normally talkative Teacher Zed didn’t say much this time, nor did he require Yi Chen to engage in physical training before departure.
Instead, he rarely cautioned him:
“Explore carefully, and don’t lose your ‘eyes’ in there like I did.”
Yi Chen planned to spend the remaining time preparing for something that could influence the progression of the event.
[Street District – Temporary Accommodation Area]
Top floor corner room, this is precisely Jin’s single rental.
Strangely, standing at the door Yi Chen couldn’t smell the usual scent of meat.
Knock, knock, knock~Several knocks on the door went unanswered.
“Hmm, it’s nearly ten o’clock at night, and she still hasn’t returned? Well, let’s wait for the notification and regroup tomorrow.”
Just as Yi Chen turned to leave,
heavy footsteps echoed through the corridor, and Jin appeared, carrying a hemp bag taller than herself, coming up from the staircase.
“Huh? William, what are you doing here… I was thinking we might have to depart promptly tomorrow, so I used a lot of connections today to gather [high-grade synthetic meat]. I have to process it all tonight. You’ve really come at a bad time.”
“No problem, we can talk while you work.”
Yi Chen had a clear purpose,
He wanted to seize this critical moment before the event to have a deep conversation with Jin, to seriously discuss the upcoming relic incident and try to suppress Jin’s wild traits as much as possible, reducing the instability of the team.
