Chapter 195: Cleansing

“You’re right.”

Lin Xian was deeply convinced at this moment. After escaping from the chemical plant, it was already dark, and the monster had indeed not chased after them. Also, when KIKI wanted to pull out the lantern flower, she found that it was deeply rooted in the deep pool of the chemical storage tank. Although he didn’t know how big its main body was, after hearing what Ding Junyi said, it did indeed fit the characteristics of the coral family.

“So, what’s our next step? According to this, those people must have already set their sights on us when they saw us come back.”

KIKI said, “Some people are making trouble, and they definitely won’t let us deal with the monster in the chemical plant easily.”

“And we don’t even know how many groups of them there are.”

“It doesn’t matter how many groups there are,” Lin Xian said calmly. “As long as they live in the town, they are all in the same boat. With the same interests, our actions are against them.”

“Then what do we do?” KIKI said with her arms crossed. “This town isn’t big, but the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. There’s that big monster and the parasitic Impersonators. If we also have to guard against this group of human traitors, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to act.”

Lin Xian’s eyes turned cold. “Then let’s find them first and get rid of them!”

Time passed by the minute. On the dark station, the time was 20:00 in the evening. It was as quiet as the calm before a storm. There was no trace of the Impersonators, and everything became quiet.

The tense nerves of the people on the train also relaxed a lot. Seeing this, Lin Xian asked KIKI to launch a drone for reconnaissance. After looking around, he did find no one around the freight station.

And in the distant town, there were still scattered and mottled candlelight, which looked quiet and strange.

“It seems that we were right to come back. At least we are temporarily safe,” Chen Sixuan said with a sigh of relief in car number 2, sitting down on a stool.

At this time, Shu Qin, KIKI, Da Lou, Shasha, and Lu Xingchen were all gathered here. Lin Xian had synchronized the information with everyone and was discussing the next arrangements.

“If that’s the case, if we don’t solve the monster in the chemical plant, the marks on us will only increase as we run, and we will eventually not be able to escape the fate of being devoured,” Shu Qin frowned at this moment. “So the root cause is here.”

Lu Xingchen clicked his tongue and crossed his arms, looking profound. “It seems that the people in this town are also well aware of this, so they gave up running away.”

Shasha directly retorted, “It’s not that complicated. It’s just a group of cowards who are afraid of death. They are colluding with the dark monsters. They are really shameless.”

KIKI nodded. “That’s right. We can’t run away. Then let’s settle this place together and let them suffer the consequences of their own actions.”

“Lin Xian, what’s your plan?” Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian.

Everyone’s eyes were also on him at this moment, waiting for his arrangements.

Choosing to return from the critical situation just now, and being able to obtain this moment of peace, Lin Xian’s choice was not reckless, because after listening to Director Ding’s theory, everyone else very much agreed with this decision.

“KIKI is right. The current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. And we have more than one enemy to face. But there is one thing that is the same for everyone, that is, it is dark now, and they should be like us, unable to do anything. This just gives us a night to rest and make a plan.”

After a whole day of fighting, the team’s ammunition consumption was quite large. KIKI, Lu Xingchen, and others also needed to rest. Fortunately, the current situation was a little clearer for Lin Xian, so he didn’t have to investigate passively. He could let the team rest well and then make a move.

“What plan?” everyone asked.

Lin Xian’s eyes flickered. “Cleansing.”

“The purpose of our return this time is to save ourselves. So at dawn, we will divide into three groups. I will lead a team to the chemical plant to install remote-controlled bombs. Shu Qin and Brother Huo will be the first team to enter the city to kill the Impersonators. The last group will stay on the train to guard against a surprise attack on our train by that group of people.”

Chen Sixuan frowned slightly upon hearing this. “Are we going to enter the town and kill those monsters with great fanfare? Will it be too dangerous?”

“It doesn’t matter. I will take action,” Lu Xingchen said without any fear, with a calm expression. “This monster disguised as a human must naturally be cleansed by my divine fire. If not, I will burn this city together. What can heaven do to me!”

Everyone: …

Lin Xian’s eyes were deep as he looked at Shu Qin. “Actually, killing how many parasites is not the primary task. Your primary purpose is to make a big commotion, and the bigger the better, to attract their attention. If you encounter that group of people, you will retreat to avoid casualties.”

“A feint?” Lu Xingchen raised his eyebrows. “That’s fine.”

“Huh?” Shu Qin was still calculating how to deal with those Impersonators just now, but Lin Xian suddenly changed the subject.

“Aren’t we going to cleanse them?”

Lin Xian said, “To catch a thief, first catch the king. Even if we want to cleanse them, we have to wait until we kill the big parasite before we slowly clean up these small ones.”

Lin Xian didn’t finish. In fact, what he was thinking was that if he could clear the [mark] by solving the big one, then there would be no need to clean up the small ones. It would be extremely risky for the team to venture into buildings. A slight carelessness would cause a large number of casualties. And killing them would not bring any blood essence or other benefits. It was purely a thankless task.

“If Ding Qing’s group attacks you in the city, the chemical plant will be much smoother. This means they don’t know that our purpose is to kill that big parasite,” Lin Xian said, explaining his thoughts.

“Normal people wouldn’t think so, right?” Shasha said at this moment. “Who would think that we came back just to find that big monster?”

Generally speaking, it was indeed unbelievable to run back to fight a monster after escaping with great difficulty. After all, in the eyes of survivors, this was equivalent to suicide, and there was no benefit. Now all the survivors in the world were running for their lives, and only a very small number of people were aware of the existence of the [mark].

“Not necessarily,” Lin Xian said. “To put it another way, even if they don’t know that we are here for the [mark], that monster is the source of Rain Town’s ability to isolate strange creatures. To them, it is equivalent to a guardian god. Do you think they will take action?”

“That’s true~ These human traitors,” Shasha quickly learned this word from KIKI and cursed resentfully at this moment.

Chen Sixuan nodded, understanding Lin Xian’s thoughts, but she also said with a worried look, “But Lin Xian, those Impersonators shouldn’t be that easy to deal with. I’m worried about Shu Qin and the others…”

“I know. As long as we don’t enter the buildings, those Impersonators are not a big threat. The most troublesome thing is their disguise,” Lin Xian said.

After speaking, he raised his hand, and a strange small device was created by him with a flash of light. He then handed it to KIKI. “This is the voiceprint detection device of the sentinel system. I have separated it. The easiest way to deal with these Impersonators is to detect their heartbeat reaction, which is completely different from humans. You can set the sampling information later, and then Shu Qin and the others can distinguish them remotely.”

KIKI’s eyes lit up when she saw it, and she reached out to take it. “Wow, you’re so smart. How come I didn’t think of that? The female Impersonator’s breathing and heartbeat were all chaotic. If we use this method, we don’t need to take the risk of identifying them.”

When Shu Qin and the others heard this, their morale was also boosted, and they instantly gained confidence. “Okay, Captain Lin, I know what to do.”

Lin Xian nodded. “There’s one more thing, and that is to maintain communication within the team. That big parasite has a special parasite that can use flesh and bone to briefly transform into our own teammates. This may be more troublesome. For safety, everyone should maintain communication to deal with it effectively.”

Although the potential threat of the Impersonators was great, these threats all came from their disguise. As long as they had the means to see through them, it would not be so troublesome.

Lin Xian was constantly calculating various situations.

Shu Qin nodded. “I understand.”
