Over a thousand Level 3 Blood Essences, nearly 100 Level 4 Blood Essences—if these were used to exchange for supplies, they would be enough to equip an entire Iron Guard Brigade!

"It should be about two hours until dawn. Lin, thanks to you, we’ve all managed to escape," Ryan said appreciatively at this moment.

"Yeah, two hours..."

Lin Xian looked at the countdown in his sight.

01:55:09

There’s less than two hours left on this countdown.

Does it mean that something will happen after dawn?

Lin Xian felt conflicted at the moment, worrying about what burden this rampant energy would impose on the team members, while also feeling uneasy about the approaching countdown.

At this moment, the automatic door in front of Lin Xian suddenly opened, and a voice came from inside.

"You’ve been standing outside for so long, why not come in and sit?"

Lin Xian was briefly startled, then retracted his gaze; there was finally a second person awake on the Infinity.

Car number 9 was Lin Xian’s gift to Monica as her personal chamber, and it was Lin Xian’s contribution in exchange for Monica letting him and Mochizuki Masashi use the Monica for remodeling. This cabin was originally the number 1 car in Queen Mo, flawlessly upgraded by Lin Xian, though the interior layout hadn’t changed much.

An independent bathtub, modern hot water system, refrigerated wine cabinet, and standalone wardrobe—you could only access the rear heavy gas turbine truck Giant Whale 03E and Gemini 11R through this compartment. And because of the presence of Viola and maintenance robots, others rarely ventured to the rear compartments, so this carriage was relatively isolated for Monica.

Upon entering, a cloud of fragrance greeted him, and Lin Xian lifted his gaze to find Monica dressed in a simple form-fitting outfit resembling yoga wear. She was sitting cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed, performing some kind of yoga move, seemingly both stretching and converting dark energy. She even used this clothing directly in place of underwear; under these conditions, wearing an Inner Liner Suit and Power Armor, underwear was really inconvenient.

However, this form-fitting attire perfectly showcased Monica’s almost illegal body curves, and just one glance was enough to ignite a man’s primal desires like a complete eruption of Galan Volcano.

"I don’t mean to eavesdrop, but with you speaking at the doorway, it’s hard not to hear," Monica said as she finished a leg-raising movement, then slowly stood up, turning slightly to face him with her arms folded, glancing upward.

"If you need someone to trial Crystal Grid Cultivation, I can cooperate. I know you still have questions about this evolutionary path," Monica offered.

Lin Xian contemplated for a moment upon hearing this before finally expressing his thoughts.

"It’s not questions, but concerns. I’ve negotiated with the Phoenix Society; they’ve discovered some side effects in their experiments," he replied.

"After everything we’ve experienced, are side effects really a concern for us?" Monica retorted.

Lin Xian chuckled softly, saying, "They all said the same thing you did."

Then, he looked at Monica and said seriously, "This means putting a foreign object in your body; aren’t you afraid?"

Unexpectedly, Monica just gave a light laugh, her gaze sweeping over Lin Xian like waves, then turned toward the wine cabinet, her tone calm as she uttered something that left Lin Xian utterly surprised.

"Many people want to put things into my body; what does it matter?"
