Chapter 206: Chapter 201 "Person" (Request for monthly votes!)
"Honey!"
Outside the chemical factory, the pale orange information toxin vanished, and everyone gradually recovered from their paralysis.
Director Ding was pierced through the chest by the electric knife thrown by Lv Chang, and Duan Min screamed mournfully, scrambling to catch the fallen Director Ding.
Lin Xian threw away the black long gun, decisively raised another weapon, and moved forward to deal with the couple.
"No."
Duan Min, upon seeing this scene, immediately lunged in front of Director Ding, pleading in terror, "Please, spare us. All the supplies and weapons from our convoy can be given to you."
"Isn’t it too late to say this now?"
"Captain Lin."
Miao Lu stepped forward at this moment to report, "The convoy that attacked our train has been completely annihilated. Roughly estimated, there were over forty people. The remainder who fled have been cleared by Sister Shu Qin’s team."
Upon hearing this, Director Ding’s expression changed drastically, looking at Lin Xian in disbelief.
"Impossible!" Duan Min exclaimed beside him, "We didn’t..."
She paused, her face froze for a moment, then turned to look at Director Ding.
Luo Rui.
Both of them suddenly understood.
Knowing that stability had been achieved on the Infinity, Lin Xian felt reassured, promptly loaded his gun, aimed at Director Ding’s forehead, and spoke coldly, "The good news is, after we finish off the beast inside, you two won’t have to be skinned and turned into fake humans."
"Wait." Duan Min explained in panic, "We didn’t arrange for anyone to attack your train, actually..."
"Duan Min!" Director Ding interrupted her, blood flowing from his mouth, seeing Duan Min’s confused face, said, "No need to explain. It was us who made the first move, victors become kings, there’s no longer a need for negotiation."
His expression was despondent, life quickly slipping away, he looked at Lin Xian, whispering, "I just want to know, do you really think you can kill that thing with just these few people?"
Lin Xian’s gaze flickered slightly, "Since you’ve mentioned the Night Curse, naturally you understand that we don’t have a choice."
Director Ding frowned, speaking excitedly, "This is completely sending your own people to die, why can’t you accept the safe refuge, and wait until you’re ready to retaliate?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian looked at Director Ding, "Your so-called refuge, is it worth sacrificing people every day?"
Director Ding was silent for a moment, then sighed, with a self-mocking smile, facing Lin Xian’s gun barrel, an expression of relief appeared.
"Go ahead, shoot."
"You haven’t told me where your refuge is located."
Director Ding opened his eyes, sneered, "Why, so you can slaughter them all? The executioners were all from my convoy and died at the hands of your people. The remaining ones are just innocent people; why do you need to kill them heartlessly?"
Lin Xian spoke solemnly, "Those who’ve resorted to cannibalism, can they still be considered human?"
Director Ding remained silent, closed his eyes tightly, holding the sobbing Duan Min, his face resolute, awaiting Lin Xian to pull the trigger.
Woo~
At this moment, the sound of a drone whooshing overhead echoed, a PX-05 engineering robot flew over those present, landing behind Lin Xian.
Director Ding opened his eyes upon seeing this, his expression quickly changed, "What have you done?!"
KIKI then walked up, clapping her hands, "What’s there to do, install bombs? Don’t you know this chemical factory is a large-scale explosives depot?"
Lin Xian said, "Even if you don’t tell me, it doesn’t matter. Blasting the chemical factory and that monster, once night falls, those in town without refuge will face the grim consequences themselves."
Upon hearing this, Director Ding’s pupils suddenly contracted, he began coughing blood violently, emotionally looking at Lin Xian.
"No, you can’t do this, you’ll doom everyone!"
Upon realizing Lin Xian’s intention to blow up the chemical plant, Director Ding finally broke down completely. He looked urgently at Lin Xian, pointing to the power armor he wore, nervously saying, "Young man, I know you want this power armor on me. It has voice recognition activation; no one but me can start it. I can unlock it for you to take, just promise me one thing!"
KIKI snorted disdainfully, "Humph, what recognition? I..."
Unexpectedly, Lin Xian gestured to stop her, then turned to Director Ding, saying.
"Go ahead."
"You can take everything from my convoy, just leave a few vehicles for them to escape. They’re ordinary people, let them live! Let them live!"
Director Ding coughed up bloody foam, shouting the last words with all his remaining strength.
"Honey..." Duan Min, tears streaming down her face, held Director Ding in her arms, looked at Lin Xian with pleading eyes, saying, "The evil deeds were ours, there are still 191 people in the underground parking of the cinema, many of them women and children, I beg you to spare them."
Lin Xian raised his gun, his gaze icy, "There’s one thing you got right."
Duan Min raised her head.
Bang!
Inside the chemical factory, a gunshot echoed.
Lv Chang, Miao Lu, KIKI, all showed slight changes in expression at this moment.
Lin Xian put away his gun, slowly saying, "I do intend to kill that monster."
Buzz~
Outside the chemical plant, two motorcycles sped away. Lin Xian carried KIKI, followed by Lv Chang and Miao Lu, heading towards the town.
On the other side, after cleaning up the battlefield, Shu Qin and Lu Xingchen drove to the town to meet up with Lin Xian.
"Captain Lin, I’ve checked, the main force of the Jingang Team seems to be gone. There might be some left hiding, but we haven’t found their exact location." Shu Qin said as she walked over after getting out of the car.
Lin Xian stopped the motorcycle and looked back at the distant chemical plant: "Prepare yourselves. The explosion later won’t be small, the town will definitely be affected, and it might even shake those pseudo-monster creatures out."
"Well, that would be perfect, we can burn them all at once, saving our original selves the trouble of searching," Lu Xingchen, who hadn’t had a chance to act today, said, itching for action.
"Lin Xian, what if it doesn’t die?" KIKI asked, "That thing definitely isn’t a C-level Abnormal Body anymore, its vitality must be extremely strong."
"If it doesn’t die, we’ll just wear it out."
Lin Xian said, "Later, we’ll assess the situation. If that thing truly doesn’t have much mobility like Director Ding said, we’ll spend some time wearing it down. If not, we can always run. It’s daytime now, we shouldn’t be as embarrassed as last night."
Upon hearing this, Shu Qin and the others nodded. Actively attacking a large Abnormal Body was something they never dared to imagine before. At this moment, aside from the oddball Lu Xingchen, no one present wasn’t nervous.
Lin Xian took out the Power Armor from the motorcycle and activated Mechanical Scan.
[Scan complete, acquired TRP fourth-generation special industrial Active Exoskeleton Power Armor (blueprint)]
[Power Armor System completeness: 100%]
He took off the separate mechanical prosthetic and stored it in his backpack, then put on the Power Armor. This Exoskeleton Power Armor wasn’t fully covered and didn’t have strong defensive capabilities, nor did it have flying or weapon modules. Its main function was to enhance mobility, providing the user with extremely strong jumping, running, and shoulder-bearing torque. Besides the hands and the main spine structure using high-hardness Tungsten-titanium alloy Type I, most other parts were made of lightweight forged inner armor steel and Carbon Fiber, emphasizing flexibility.
Lin Xian’s physical attributes were already far beyond ordinary people, and with this Power Armor, his mobility saw a significant boost.
The most crucial part was that he could rely on the Power Armor’s framework to add weapon and defense modules, and upgrade the blueprint through the Research and Development Center.
[Program started]
After donning the armor, Lin Xian initiated the Power Armor program.

"Delete..."
Just as Lin Xian was about to delete, he accidentally saw something that made his expression change slightly.
"Wow, that’s so cool, Lin Xian, make me one too." KIKI walked over excitedly, "I want a black one, I like red too."
"Alright." Lin Xian nodded absent-mindedly.
"What’s wrong with you? Oh, and the people under the cinema, what are you going to do about them?"
Lin Xian took a deep breath and turned to Shu Qin: "Shu Qin, there’s over a hundred people in the parking lot under the town’s cinema."
"Huh?"
"So they were hiding there!" Lu Xingchen perked up, "Brother Lin, let me handle this one."
KIKI looked at Lin Xian with an unnatural expression: "Lin Xian, are you really going to..."
"What I mean is," Lin Xian said to Shu Qin and Lu Xingchen
"Leave the vehicles from the Jingang Team for them and let them leave before the explosion, they’re all ordinary survivors."
Everyone paused slightly upon hearing Lin Xian’s words, and Shu Qin hurriedly nodded: "Alright, I’ll take people to handle it immediately."
KIKI inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Xian with a lingering gaze.
"You changed your mind?"
"I just want to save some bullets," Lin Xian said and then went straight to the motorcycle.
