Chapter 272: Chapter 235 Cover Deployment_2

[Scanning progress 60%]

The building, taking people and Shu Qin along, hurried towards the courtyard. The underground structure here resembles a honeycomb, with a central descending passageway. Each floor is divided into six distinct research areas in hexagonal forms.

"Testing, communication distance." Shu Qin pressed the headset communicator.

"Sister Qin, received. But interference is becoming noticeable."

"You two, stay here." Shu Qin observed the nodes along the path and began setting up relay information personnel: "Pair up in groups, call every 3 minutes, maintain communication."

The building watched Shu Qin’s efficiency and couldn’t help but ask: "Have you served in the military before?"

"Interstellar 71 Group Army Dingzhou 552 Infantry Cavalry Brigade, reconnaissance platoon sergeant." Shu Qin glanced at him: "Already retired, what about you?"

"West Wind Brigade, engineer corps." the building said blandly.

"General Wei’s men?" Shu Qin was somewhat surprised at the remark.

The building nodded: "Yes."

"I heard that after the Apocalypse Day and the Federation’s decomposition, the surviving interstellar army was able to conduct internal reorganization and join the Phoenix Society, including your West Wind Brigade."

"I’m not too clear." The building scratched his head: "Like you, I’ve retired long ago and opened a car repair shop at home."

The squad proceeded onward quickly arriving at the courtyard, an exceptionally spacious hall like an airport waiting lounge, with a guidance area.

"I’m in charge of guarding here." The building slung the Gatling gun over his shoulder, directly stepping onto a flower platform.

"There are two emergency stairwells over here, Lv Chang and I will patrol these sides and keep in touch with you in the middle." Shu Qin wasted no words and led Lv Chang to begin checking the areas.

"Alright." The building nodded observantly, knowing this was the retreat passage, not daring to be careless, fully concentrating on guarding here.

On the other side, KIKI and Ding Junyi hurried towards several research areas, Ding Junyi striding quickly while KIKI was flying in the air.

Ding Junyi glanced at KIKI and spoke while walking: "Your superpower has enhanced a lot after leaving Jiazhou City."

"Is that so?" KIKI crossed arms, turning back to fly forward: "I don’t really feel it, the evolutionary levels mentioned in the Angel Plan don’t seem to reference using soul fluctuation values."

"The concept of soul fluctuation values leans more accurately towards strong energy fluctuations of life forms, if you must define it, measuring by [the total energy burst of a being near death] would be accurate. Otherwise, it would be incapable of delivering precise assessments."

Ding Junyi adjusted his glasses: "I’m constantly monitoring Phoenix Society’s research progress in superpowers, of course, I also gather useful information from other survivor teams. From the current information available, those who remain longer in the darkness have superpowers and genetic evolution much stronger compared to areas less affected by Extreme Night. The only issue is the survival rate."

"Staying constantly in the night confronting those monsters, the survival rate being high would be strange." KIKI waved her hand dismissively.

"No, besides this, there’s also the dark invasion, Lin Xian mentioned this before. Combining Phoenix Society’s research findings, entering dawn effectively suppresses the power of the dark invasion, so I have a hypothesis that humans need a buffer to digest after absorbing dark energy, and this buffer... is dawn."

KIKI frowned slightly at the words: "You mean, maintaining a balance?"

"For us humans, yes, physiological evolution requires sunlight involvement. You can liken it to plants, conducting photosynthesis during the day. But constantly sunning leads to death; nighttime engages breathing releasing energy. This point, Phoenix Society should have already proven, though maybe experiments leading to confirming results are yet to conduct, hence not publicly announced."

"Such caution?" KIKI snorted: "Gathered results and not notifying everybody promptly, it’s the apocalypse already and still playing procedural games."

Ding Junyi smiled lightly at the remark, speaking seriously: "You’re wrong, science is rigorous. Also, precisely because it’s Phoenix Society, representing the last credibility among worldwide survivors, caution in such information is paramount. Besides, their current stance is following the dawn, objectively speaking, there’s no need to specifically throw out a premise already aligning with the advocated result, especially since it hasn’t been fully validated?"

"Oh~" KIKI expressed understanding: "I got it, if they indeed announced this finding, it might guide some people to deliberately stay in the dark for speedy evolution, hence causing greater casualties?"

"Correct."

Ding Junyi spoke solemnly: "Including the discovery of [dark mark], this aspect is even more severe than dark invasion because it directly impacts the fate of humanity. Even handing over our research data, they still require experiments; otherwise, letting survivors actively counter abnormal bodies, the life losses this decision would stimulate is unimaginably vast."

"But... but we’ve validated and personally experienced it, the dark mark indeed exists, look, didn’t we just encounter bait mark this afternoon?" KIKI looked confused.

"It’s not that simple."

"Firstly, scientifically speaking, our findings are more predictive than demonstrative, and even having Hell Black Chrysanthemum, despite this, lacking definitive experimental data, and even understanding what form of energy this mark is. Monitoring how remains unclear, explaining more accurately as ’experiential learning.’ Additionally, Phoenix Society’s organizational nature stops them from conducting numerous cruel live experiments like the Foundation Organization for obtaining such research results."

KIKI rolled eyes: "I can’t comprehend, truly perplexing. So, even if we find Phoenix Society, they might not believe us, right?"

"Yes." Ding Junyi nodded.

"So frustrating!" KIKI darkened in expression at the reply, but suddenly altered direction: "Hmm? Just now you hinted that the Foundation is the organization deploying bait mark to the station this afternoon?"

Ding Junyi looked at KIKI: "No, simply assessing their ongoing research directions, theorizing this way should allow more discoveries in specific fields than Federation and Phoenix Society. Besides, you and Lin Xian engaged with them this afternoon, can you tell me what nature the Foundation Organization truly holds?"

"Mad entity." KIKI sneered, immediately narrating to Ding Junyi the events occurring entering the SIID Foundation Organization.

"How about that? Not only using humans for tests, but also playing games with them alive. Such an organization claims to be neutral, phew!" KIKI protested.

Unexpectedly, Ding Junyi listened, expression turning pensive.

"Sounds resembling a group immunity concept, yet if only thus, their research findings should open to the public, even if from a benefit-exchange perspective. Earlier, the Federation’s experimental team indeed cooperated with Luo Fei Consortium, though later cutting contact entirely with them. Unaware this SIID organization operates under such a principle."

"Group immunity? What does it mean?" KIKI asked at the words.

Ding Junyi explained: "It is considering Star Abyss and dark invasion as an extinction virus, humanity’s survival relying wholly on individual survival of the fittest and natural selection. Post-Apocalypse Day saw over ten billion global deaths, we survivors obtained superpower or genetic evolution, thus making us the fortunate ones within this theory."

"Pfft~" KIKI commented: "Yet, ultimately relying on us to conquer darkness is needed."

Plop.

Ding Junyi suddenly halted, looking intently at KIKI with a serious expression.

"But the problem is, humanity has never truly overcome a virus."
