Chapter 751: Chapter 751

"Is this the Silent City? Why does it look like it’s paralyzed here?"

"Could it have suffered an S-Class attack, or has some malfunction occurred?"

Looking at the blurry night photos sent back by Grace, Lin Xian and the other convoy members were discussing.

"The repeaters are all used up, Grace is currently on standby," Lin Xian said.

If Grace continues forward, all signals will be cut off, leaving only Grace’s Intelligent Brain to conduct unknown exploration.

Ning Jing of Dragon Mountain No.1 said at this moment, "That Taboo Item appeared in White City, and there are still people showing up; all of this is too strange."

"There’s also the issue of time dilation," Qian Deli from the Joker convoy said with a seemingly amused expression as he leaned back in his chair, "We’re really learning something new this time; inside here, a dozen days pass while only a single day goes by outside, how interesting..."

Monica analyzed at this moment, "If you put it that way, from the time Boss Hu and the others escaped Star Abyss till now, doesn’t that mean the Silent City has already been stranded here for over a hundred days?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else immediately caught on.

Hu Lushou escaped from the Akse Desert about two weeks ago, plus the day spent eliminating the sand bandits. Comparatively, the Silent City has indeed been docked here for nearly three to four months.

Since Apocalypse Day, 100 days equate to 1,200 days, and with the accelerated erosion under the dark invasion, the desolate and corrupt state of White City seems explicable.

Rugged terrain, damaged tracks, time expansion, giant fish-lion statue, paralyzed Silent City...

Although the Joint Fleet has gained a clearer understanding of the current situation through Grace’s reconnaissance, these circumstances are all heading toward more troublesome scenarios.

"Boss Hu and the others must have been attacked just like us, but judging by the scene, they weren’t completely wiped out; the remaining individuals may have already escaped!" Shi Deyuan analyzed at this moment.

Qian Deli also said, "In that case, laying down tracks is too risky. If we want to survive, I suggest going light and running, abandoning most of the train. As long as we reach White City, we can take hardened roads outward. Boss Hu maybe escaped that way, being in White City makes it easier for them to find their way, so the success rate would be much higher." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩

Monica didn’t speak. If they were to go light and run, her Queen Mo would be the greatest asset here, able to hold at least five or six hundred people, but under these circumstances, she didn’t want to voice an opinion actively, instead quietly listening to everyone’s discussion.

On Lin Xian’s end, the devouring progress of the Mechanical Heart’s panel on the Parrot’s nuclear-powered locomotive has reached 36%, and the MK-66 rolling cantilever missile launcher has also been completed. Lin Xian multitasks, devouring while manufacturing the Guardian 86 air-defense missile, while also discussing and contemplating the current predicament with everyone, truly stretching himself thin, feeling as if his head was on fire.

"Lao Mo, you’ve interacted with the Silent City, what do you think of this situation?"

Hearing Shi Deyuan and others’ words, Lin Xian first turned his gaze towards Lao Mo, one of the team members.

Lao Mo, the stoic old man, leaned on the missile launcher made by Lin Xian, his expression serious as he said,

"The scale of the Silent City is larger than the previously fallen Qingluan Aerospace City. This thing, besides Phoenix City and the lost contact South Heavenly Gate and Wangyue Planet Ring, is the largest man-made Floating Device. The Wangyue Consortium spent 14 years just constructing it, with participation from Xinghua, Fen Ge, and General Aerospace. The current head of the Wangyue Consortium, Mochizuki Masashi, is not only among the top on the global billionaire list but also a genius in physical engineering, you must have heard of him."

"Oh, I know~" KIKI crossed her arms, a bit disdainful as she said, "The one whose IQ was evaluated as around 270 by the Alpha High IQ Association, described as ’a genius far beyond the top of the real world’, right."

"Completed a double degree in physics and engineering at Kehua University at 15, participated in the Galaxy Intelligent Brain No.1 at the Galaxy Research Institute at 17..." Chen Sixuan also said, "I remember news saying this person once led the wave of Digital Life Acts, a world-class influential figure."

Lao Mo nodded, "Although Silent City’s sea, land, and air trinity design is a bit odd, if it has a Floating Engine, logically, if our fleets could run out that night, Silent City’s firepower size shouldn’t have fallen so easily."

"I don’t understand, this Silent City has the same Floating Engine as Phoenix City, why is it using giant treads for ground movement?" Shu Qin was quite puzzled.

Lao Mo said, "Currently, all Flying Devices cannot fly above an altitude of 10,000 meters, even Phoenix City can only maintain a cruising altitude of around 9,000 meters, and any other Flying Device that goes above 5,000 meters will encounter attacks from atmospheric creatures. Those monsters are at least A-level or above massive giants."

"So that’s how it is..."

Lao Mo sighed, "According to information from Dawn City, aside from the Abnormal Body, it’s said that above 10,000 meters there exists a Heavenly Veil that envelops the entire planet, hence all our satellite communications, space stations, South Heavenly Gate, and Wangyue Planet Ring have lost contact, and the Federation’s initial plan for Starships carrying the seeds of civilization to escape has all failed... so Silent City’s choice of the ground is actually a more prudent plan, they could theoretically take off at any time if needed..."
