Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1115 - 427: Beneath the Prison

The darkness swallowed the entire city like a tide, waves crashing along the shoreline, with undercurrents surging underneath.

The Infinite Train quietly parked in the maintenance section of the civil defense works, engine off, lights completely extinguished. Everyone on board deliberately lowered their breathing sounds. Inside the carriages, only the faint red glow on the dashboard occasionally flickered, illuminating the tense faces of everyone inside. Even Ding Junyi stopped his actions, standing with his hands in his pockets, waiting for a response from the darkness.

This is often the most dangerous moment.

Chen Sixuan stood by the observation window in the cockpit, staring into the depths of the tunnel through night vision equipment. Over there was the passage to the main track.

"Something’s coming." Monica activated her sound wave superpower, keenly capturing the strange noises emanating from deep within the tracks. Chen Sixuan’s eyes narrowed. Her evolved senses significantly enhanced her auditory capabilities, and though not as extreme as Monica’s superpower, she could hear a multitude of rustling sounds approaching from afar.

"Everyone, prepare to engage the enemy." At this moment, Chen Sixuan, with a tense expression, spoke in a low voice through the communicator.

Rustling echoed from the tunnel, like some multi-legged creature crawling on the tracks, occasionally interspersed with low growls as if its throat was stuffed with rotting flesh. As the noises increased, the people on the Infinite Train clenched their fists tighter. Shu Qin and others lightly placed their fingers on the trigger, waiting to fire.

Just then, Chen Sixuan and Monica watched through the night vision equipment as several strange figures rapidly dashed past, along with the howling, heading into the distance, seemingly unaware of the existence of the Infinite Train.

"They’re heading towards the direction of the Luring Agent!" Luo Yang’s drone transmitted images showing a group of Red Bone sprinting along the main track, their bones glowing with a strange phosphorescence in the dark, as if driven by some force, madly rushing towards the heart of the city.

"It’s not just us releasing it; the big one released by the Holy City Organization earlier should have caught the dark’s attention in that direction!" Qian Deli analyzed at this time.

"It’s so strange, these monsters, are they escaping...?" Sha Sha stared at the screen, her voice barely audible.

"No, not escaping." Ryuji’s telekinesis slightly rippled, sensing the energy flow from afar: "They’re being driven by something."

Boom, at this moment, faint tremors resonated from the tunnel, dust continuously falling, making the Infinite Train hidden in the maintenance section feel the rumble; everyone’s expressions changed slightly upon sensing this.

"Large organisms are coming..."

Chen Sixuan looked serious: "Everyone, stay calm and act when the time is right."

Luo Yang cautiously started to withdraw his drone, sweating coldly as he said, "It should be those large organisms that Lin and Ning Jing saw on the coast and in the sea, and what Ryan mentioned, those converging towards Sea Rock Island, likely all at least A-Class or Special Level, with a high possibility of being S-Class."

"S-Class? Isn’t that too much?" Lv Chang said nervously.

Shu Qin appeared calm: "Even the Giant Ocean God appeared; an S-Class creature isn’t surprising at all."

In the cockpit, Monica and Chen Sixuan quietly watched the pitch-black tunnel together. At this moment, Monica asked Chen Sixuan:

"If we’re discovered, do we have other options?"

Chen Sixuan took a deep breath, looking forward, said: "If we were to be discovered, we would have been attacked when it got dark, so..."

"I mean, what if." Monica’s gaze was piercing.

Chen Sixuan hesitated for a moment, then calmly replied: "Then we fight, we’ve experienced all-night battles before."

Monica softly said: "Indifference to life and death is quite liberating."

Chen Sixuan looked at her, seemingly detecting a different undertone: "Do you have any ideas?"

"It’s not about having ideas." Monica exhaled deeply, crossing her arms, and a hint of a smile appeared on her lips as she spoke: "But after meeting Lin Xian, he always gives me this illusion of hope amidst despair."

"Isn’t that a good thing?"

"To me, he’s not someone who can lead a big convoy, but he always gives off a sense of safety? No, it’s more like an irrational brilliance that makes people dilute or reduce rational fear of the Dark Civilization and Apocalypse Day. Objectively speaking, everything we’ve encountered, including survival in the future, appears utterly hopeless." Monica said as she turned to look at Chen Sixuan, speaking plainly: "This kind of despair is more terrifying than a dark invasion, isn’t it?"

Chen Sixuan was silent for a moment, then said: "Lin Xian and Professor Ye Lan believe that amidst this disaster, there’s another civilization, which might provide a chance for humanity to survive. So, Lin Xian attempts to explore with his mechanical superpower and his Sword Holder status. I understand his perspective. As long as the information about the South Heavenly Gate’s photovoltaic wing surface exists, as long as Dawn City and Star Abyss retreat, as long as the deterrent concept proposed by the Phoenix Society is still valid, as long as none of these anomalies have been conclusively proven, and as long as the Dark Civilization hasn’t destroyed the world before the next dawn, Lin Xian and Professor Ye’s view is correct."

She looked at Monica: "This is what Lin Xian persists in. Even though it’s all speculation without any concrete evidence, it’s precisely because he insists on this point that he puts himself in this seemingly irrational state."

"In fact, from this angle, he’s very rational." Monica nodded: "Looks like I don’t know him well enough yet."

Chen Sixuan gazed softly: "Not deep enough yet..."
