Chapter 409: Strange Phenomena and an Illusory Voice
With Zhao Kai behind the wheel, the powerful modified car felt like something out of Need for Speed. They reached Nottingham from the nearest Association mystic realm in under two hours, covering a route that currently took British military patrols half a day.
Forward Outpost 24 of the Nottingham Refuge Center's defensive military identification zone was already in sight.
The World Anti-Dark Tide Convention Alliance had brought together almost all of humanity's finest minds. With shared intelligence, they could naturally develop all kinds of strategies at remarkable speed.
The scanning terminal atop the outpost operated without pause.
It included a small radar and a high-sensitivity thermal sensor, while electrostatic devices and capacitive coils were buried outside in arcs at distances of fifty, one hundred, and two hundred meters.
Of the outpost's main control screens, the radar display looked ordinary, but the thermal display showed a distinctive pattern of colors.
The three outer arcs of coils appeared on the thermal screen as three faintly red lines along the ground.
Any Yin Spirits or other invisible Demons entering scanning range would be detected by both radar and thermal equipment. Even if they could evade radar and keep their temperature identical to their surroundings, they would inevitably obscure the heat emitted by the coils when crossing the three identification arcs, triggering the alarm all the same.
For now, though, most Yin Spirits seemed unable to evade even one of the two detection methods.
Like communications signals, radar detection suffered interference from the collision of worlds. But over mere hundreds of meters or a kilometer, sufficient power still made it workable.
Furthermore, some veterans who had survived repeated brushes with death on the battlefield, along with some soldiers trained in France's special military training zones, possessed
