Chapter 164 - 159 Dead City
Chapter 164: Chapter 159 Dead CityThis was the first time Lin Xian’s Mechanical Heart had completely consumed his energy, making him feel as if the Mechanical Heart had initiated some kind of self-protection program and forcibly shut down.
When the Mechanical superpower began operating again, Lin Xian started to feel a cold touch on his skin, and... a sensation of weightlessness!
Infinity was rapidly descending.
Whoosh!
The tracks were humming, and the train was slightly trembling.
Lin Xian opened his eyes to find himself lying in the bed of Carriage No. 1, with Chen Sixuan’s light shout coming from the cockpit, "Slowing down, no obstacles ahead."
"Everyone hold on, Sha Sha take good care of your Brother Lin!"
His gaze shifted to see Lou Shasha pressing down on his shoulder with a tense face, afraid he would roll out of bed due to inertia, her little face anxiously watching the outside.
"Sister Chen, we haven’t received any broadcasts related to Jiazhou City yet," KIKI’s voice came from Carriage No. 2.
Lin Xian’s head felt groggy, and his subconscious told him that this slope they were descending was definitely the ascent channel.
Could it be that they had already arrived at Jiazhou City?
Ding~
A notification from the Mechanical Heart alerted Lin Xian that the Re
The time was 7 in the morning, and the early morning sunlight was still quite chilly, but for the team that had just raced from the stormy and cold environment of Yu Bei City, this temperature was already considered warm.
"Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the sun up this early."
KIKI came over and exclaimed.
Chen Sixuan looked serene, "It feels like being resurrected from the dead."
"We’ve got a lot more daylight time all of a sudden," Sha Sha said excitedly.
Whoosh whoosh...
The train quickly swept across the high-speed viaduct of the airport, and the distant urban scenery caught everyone’s eyes, feeling both strange and familiar.
"4500 kilometers, from Jiazhou to Longjiang region is quickly approaching the middle zone between No. 3 Star Abyss and No. 5 Star Abyss," Lin Xian said.
Sha Sha was very envious, "Then the people here are really lucky, they have more daylight time than other places..."
"It’s easy to say that..." KIKI frowned and approached the window to look at the distant city: "But why do I feel like this city is too quiet?"
"It looks like a Dead City."
"Logically, there should be a lot of survivors in the middle zone of the Star Abyss."
Lin Xian shook his head, "You’re thinking too simply. No. 3, No. 5, and No. 7 Star Abysses are too close to each other, even if there is a temporary survival space in the middle zone, it’s just like boiling frogs in warm water, and the dangers of the night are the same..."
Cities further away from the Star Abyss indeed can have more survival space and time, but the contagion of global night is equally deadly. And because of the different ranges and expansion speeds of the Star Abyss, some regions will be covered by the extreme night more slowly and thus have higher chances of survival.
Jiazhou City, although far from the rapidly expanding No. 3 Star Abyss, is not far from the other No. 5 and No. 7 Star Abysses, and if the other two Star Abysses also expand rapidly, this area will be quickly covered and swallowed as if it were being encircled.
"Population, cities, these are all factors," Ding Junyi said as she walked over and stood in the distance: "No. 3 Star Abyss in Lu City, Dingzhou, is in the densest urban area of Tianhai Province, and like North America No. 1, Asia-Pacific No. 2, Europe No. 9, Republic No. 11, they belong to the Star Abysses with the fastest Dark Tide expansion speeds. This is why the Phoenix Society advocates finding survival space in mobility, such as the polar ice caps of the Arctic Continent. With the influence of the midnight sun, the calculations suggest it is likely to be the last region covered by the extreme night."
"There is no Star Abyss there, but it is also within the extreme night time, right?" Chen Sixuan responded.
"Four months later, there will enter a continuous six months of midnight sun, and without the impact of the Dark Tide, it will be the most suitable refuge area. The South Pole is also currently in the midnight sun, the same principle."
Lin Xian nodded, "Not bad, for us humans, it’s like a constantly shrinking safe zone."
As he spoke, he inexplicably felt that this was very much like a game from decades ago, where one had to flee from poison gas...
"You call that a safe zone?" KIKI was dumbfounded: "That place is the polar region, there’s nothing there, how can people survive..."
Lin Xian turned to look at her with a meaningful expression, "Trust me, when global night covers everything and monsters roam everywhere, that kind of sunny, uninhabited area will be the sanctuary everyone longs for."
