"Teacher Chen, can you hear me?"

"Zzzz... Lin... Zzzz, Lin Xian?!!"

Chen Sixuan’s surprised voice came through the communicator. At Sea Rock Island University Town’s orbit station, the tracks were under maintenance, and the Infinity was completely hidden in darkness. Chen Sixuan was sitting alone in the pilot seat, waiting for news from Lin Xian. Upon hearing his voice in the headset, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"How are you guys, have you found those people?"

"Yes, we’ve found them." Lin Xian asked, "Are things okay on your end?"

"We’ve successfully entered the night." Chen Sixuan briefly explained their escape from marked locations to Lin Xian: "Now over here, the sensors you’ve deployed are detecting a lot of Abnormal Bodies moving in the city, much more than last night, and there are quite a few large entities, possibly related to that large Luring Agent the Holy City deployed during the day."

"We’re on watch now. The underground tracks aren’t particularly safe, but Shu Qinluoyang have made a lot of preparations. They shouldn’t be discovered for now, don’t worry."

"Alright."

"How about on your side?"

"Found a Foundation stronghold and a Holy Revelation person. The situation’s a bit complicated. I’ll tell you more after sunrise." Lin Xian thought to himself that if Director Ding were here, he might have a lot of ideas. After confirming the Infinity’s safety, he also exhaled and said to Ning Jing and the others,

"Thankfully, both sides are safe, but the trouble has just begun. We need to figure out how to leave Sea Rock Island after sunrise."

"Has Viola returned?" KIKI asked, "If we can’t find the base station for the Star Orbital, we can’t just wander around at sea. We don’t have any positioning system. Finding a track in the ocean isn’t an easy task."

Lin Xian nodded, "I know. Besides, there’s a Monster Tide floating island in the eastern sea area, plus the underwater whirlpools and volcanic activity. No matter how we go, it’s a headache."

"In my opinion, why not just use the Sky Dome Train to rush into the sky? Wouldn’t that be exhilarating?" Brother Huo, rarely offering his opinion, suggested.

Lin Xian responded, "I thought of that too, but there are three hidden concerns. The first two are what KIKI mentioned. If we can’t find the Star Orbital, we can only continue flying over the Pacific Ocean. The risks and dangers of that process are too great, and we can’t rendezvous with Noah, we would be flying blindly, and the Sky Dome’s Arsenal Ship isn’t constructed yet either."

"The other concern, are you worried about the Giant Ocean God?" Ning Jing asked.

Lin Xian had a grave expression, "To be precise, including the monsters surrounding the island. What exactly has been triggered by the nuclear heat distributed in this area is unknown. If we don’t figure it out, I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave this sea area."

"Lin Xian."

KIKI looked at him at this point, "Now that you mention it, I suddenly wonder if the Hawk Sea Group might have some ulterior motives. They also have Luring Agents, and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier shouldn’t be confined to this sea area, right? As for worrying about the volcano or hunting Blood Essence, it seems those reasons don’t hold up now."

Lin Xian’s eyes flickered, and he said, "I didn’t take everything that Ryan said seriously before, because we weren’t clear on the situation on the island and the sea area. In my view, his concerns don’t seem unsolvable."

"So, do you think they have other purposes, or they know something else?"

Lin Xian nodded, "That’s possible."

He looked around at everyone, and after much consideration, he decided not to disclose the countdown situation to them for now. He had no leads on this issue, and even if others knew, they’d be at a loss. It would only create unnecessary anxiety without any result.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xian stood up directly,

"Everyone take a break, I’m going to check that device."

Facing a large device, he couldn’t pass without scanning it with the Mechanical Heart. This was the only current method that could allow him to understand the true operational principles of this base device, possibly leading to some clues.

"I’ll go with you." KIKI also stood up.

"Alright."

"I... I’ll too..." Shi Zhi stood up softly, but Lin Xian pushed her back onto the bench, "This place has been patrolled, it’s temporarily safe. I’m going to use my mechanical superpower to scan the Deep-3 Nuclear Thermal Inducer. You haven’t had proper sleep for two days, just rest here."

Shi Zhi obediently nodded, "Okay."

Then Lin Xian, along with KIKI, re-entered the gigantic geothermal cave. Drones flew around, helping to monitor every corner. Lin Xian directly went up to the topmost strata of the mechanical arm, found a position to settle down, and began scanning.

KIKI looked down at the multi-level floors, mechanical platforms, and the deep red magma below, and said to Lin Xian,

"Lin Xian, do you think there’s any connection between this place and Galan Volcano?"

Lin Xian opened his eyes and softly replied,

"I certainly do!"
