Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1054 - 402: Sailor

"Reaching Level 7 shouldn’t be difficult. We’ll soon figure out what these blueprints really mean..."

Lin Xian took a deep breath. He now had six construction sequences, so he could simultaneously complete the Sky Dome Train and upgrade the Mechanical Heart through devouring. In the great battle at Dawn City, the Hell Black Chrysanthemum aboard Infinity devoured a significant amount of Dark Energy. In past Monster Tides, Lin Xian found that the Mechanical Source Points converted through the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube usually gave him more benefits compared to other Superpower Users.

However, this time, after lighting the Dark Energy Tower within the city, the Dark Energy diffusion from S-Class and corpse chasers was completely neutralized. The benefit was that such a concentration of Dark Energy didn’t lead to more mutations among people, but the downside was that top-level Superpower Users didn’t gain a substantial evolutionary boost.

But there was no other choice. Dark Energy, for humans, has always been more of a bane than a boon. Lin Xian’s Hell Black Chrysanthemum and Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube are already uniquely powerful Divine Artifacts. Nevertheless, after this battle, with the help of Phoenix Society and Silent City, his Blue Library has nearly perfected the current technological powers of humanity. He can now focus entirely on devouring the machinery to enhance the Mechanical Heart, which is a good thing.

Looking at the Giant Star Body floating in the Black Star Forge, Lin Xian sighed slightly. To improve the Mechanical Heart, he could only devour from directions like starships, ships, and high-power trains. Fortunately, he crafted a Dreadnought Level in Dawn City, and he estimated this would earn him at least ten thousand Source Points, possibly even gaining some new Skill...

Just as Lin Xian was about to exit the consciousness space of the Black Star Forge, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill from the depths of the Giant Star Body. Thus, Lin Xian directly controlled his consciousness to walk deeper inside, discovering an abyss-like black void, as dark as the deep universe. Arriving here, Lin Xian instantly felt his hackles rise.

Because he sensed he was being watched by something.

"Grace?"

[I’m here]

"Is there anything unusual at the South Heavenly Gate?" Lin Xian quickly reacted, realizing his consciousness was linked with the Flashing Bullet and Grace. This feeling seemed to be transmitted from the depths of the South Heavenly Gate.

Blue Star’s stationary deep-space orbital, South Heavenly Gate.

Main core module, control room.

Dozens of deep-space corpses in space suits floated quietly in the chaotic control room. Grace was using repair tools to restore subsystem circuits while responding to Lin Xian

[There are various unknown magnetic forces and Dark Matter particle fluctuations here. The PandaX-4T Liquid Xenon Detector detected an unusual Dark Matter signal in the extremely low recoil energy zone, which was emitted during Apocalypse Day. The previous stationed research team seemed to have decoded some crucial information using gravitational waves. I’m trying to recover it.]

[Also, I’ve found a large presence of non-Blue Star microorganisms in the module, along with some lifeforms showing a Spirit Vibration Value reaction. Currently, there’s no threat to me. Is there any particular task you want to assign me?]

Lin Xian had previously informed Grace that Phoenix Society and Chu Yan needed to connect with her to attempt communication with the defense platform. However, Lin Xian now asked for another purpose.

Because he sensed that an eye seemed to be watching him through that Flashing Bullet!

"Outside the platform, did you find anything in other deep-space directions?"

[I’ve activated part of the external surveillance system of the defense platform. After the last high-density energy emission, South Heavenly Gate’s orbital became extremely unstable. I can only adjust via the propulsion system for now, and I can’t determine if it’s due to a change in Blue Star’s gravity structure or if the whole South Heavenly Gate is being pulled by a strong gravitational source.]

Lin Xian furrowed his brows upon hearing this: "I think it’s likely the latter. Check on it right away. Oh, and shut down the backup nuclear reactor, deploy the solar panels, and move out of the Dark Energy Storm Zone to standby."

[Grace understands]

On the deep-space orbit, the massive South Heavenly Gate defense platform began extending the solar panels of its energy modules. The panels unfolded from their folded states, revealing four huge light wings, slowly expanding toward the Sun. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Meanwhile, in that dark direction of deep space, a two-dimensional-like dark plane, akin to an abyss, obscured all starlight, like a vast cosmic maw, also slowly opening...

"Lin Xian."

Just then, the compartment door opened, and Chen Sixuan stood at the entrance, saying to Lin Xian, "It’s dark outside."

Lin Xian opened his eyes and looked outside the train window. The entire Star Orbital’s docking port was now completely pitch black. Only the sound of rolling tides could be heard from afar, with zombie silhouettes moving and howling ominously outside the train.

Lin Xian glanced around and checked the time, 19:46.

Given the scale of the 8th Star Abyss, it was already quite late. In recent days, Phoenix Society’s observations indicated that the expansion of the 8th Star Abyss had significantly slowed, which was undoubtedly good news for survivors. Nonetheless, Phoenix Society remained vigilant, for thirteen Star Abysses still lingered over Blue Star, leaving human settlements in a post-apocalyptic desolation.

Splash.

Seeing several zombies approaching outside, Lin Xian quickly lowered the blinds and asked Chen Sixuan, "Any updates from Phoenix Society?"

"No." Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian, noticing something odd about his expression, and promptly asked, "What’s wrong?"
