Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1147 - 441: Viola’s Return_3

[Sorry for the delay. On my sky patrol, I ran into intense electromagnetic and gamma ray disruptions near the G05 orbital station, triggering a system restart and an assault from a strange beast, which made me finish the job 14 hours and 51 minutes late.]

"Gamma rays?" KIKI reacted first with shock upon hearing it: "Where did they come from?"

[Origin remains unidentified.]

Lin Xian's face turned grave as he heard this. He quickly grasped the meaning behind last night's gamma ray event, realizing that not only Grace had been impacted, but Viola as well.

He eyed Viola's frame, which bore clear traces of combat yet showed no actual harm. Right away, he inquired, "What's the status of the aerial patrol?"

Viola stood straight, hands clasped behind her back, delivering her report in a steady tone.

[Damage appeared across orbital sections starting from G3 station east of Sea Rock Island, including G4-G6, G7-G10, G13, G15, and more, mostly focused on the stations themselves. Normalcy resumed from G16 onward. My scan stopped at G18; later segments require further checks.]

"This is... the Quantum Brain robot?" Vanessa emerged from the group after Viola's update, her voice brimming with astonishment.

"Yes."

Catching the exchange, Ryan chimed in, "As I said before, those stations serve as survivor havens or fortified outposts of the Holy City. Clashes between the Holy City and other survivors rage on endlessly. Whether from those fights or Abnormal Body strikes, the orbits suffer no matter what. Opting for train travel wasn't the smartest move."

"That's not our concern at the moment." Lin Xian drew in a sharp breath, fixing his gaze on Viola as his heart raced.

"Perfect timing on your return; I've got a... highly perilous mission for you."

[Awaiting orders.] Viola replied to Lin Xian instantly.

Lin Xian swiftly handed over drone command to Viola: "Head to these coordinates, plunge into the depths, and activate the energy release vent."

[Viola comprehends.]

With those words, Viola plotted an exact trajectory in mere milliseconds. A swarm of thousands of drones sprang into action at once, while she vaulted onto a submersible rig and plunged swiftly into the ocean's abyss.

Viola's frame glides effortlessly through depths of thousands of meters, her onboard high-energy armaments strong enough to pierce the monster's remains, locate, and unlock the energy release vent below. Even if surrounding monsters lash out, Lin Xian has no intention of her engaging them directly; without the Dark Mark emerging, the operation simplifies greatly.

Whirr!

Through the pitch-black depths, Viola sliced downward like a blade, rapidly approaching the massive corpse of the vortex monster blocking the energy release vent.

Rumble!

Right then, a fierce quake rattled the earth, sending tremors through everyone onshore as the sea roiled violently, spewing dark bubbles everywhere.

"An earthquake?"

"The Galan Volcano stirring!"

"This is bad."

Ryan turned to Lin Xian: "Lin, a small eruption might have already happened."

Lin Xian's look grew grim: "We need to hurry things up then."

[Alert: Viola detects extension of seabed and volcanic seismic activity; intensity at level three.]

[Seismic reach now hits the fracture zone near Chasan Island; data indicates Galan Volcano growing more volatile.]

"Press on; open the mechanical gate and get back here at once." Lin Xian ordered.

[Affirmative.]

Arriving at the energy release vent, Viola confronted the colossal Abnormal Body carcass; her arm morphed into a plasma blade, carving precisely as she surged forward at top speed, then exploding through to bore straight into the depths.

[Energy release gate located, negative pipeline pressure initiating, outlet blocked by subject corpse, risk of local thermal overload; proceed with clearance?]

Viola's transmission came through right then.

Lin Xian stared at the island-sized vortex monster husk, eyes flashing, before he abruptly declared

"No need, hold position. Truth is, I want to run a small test..."
