Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1162 - 448: Launching into the Water

"Prepare for the Infinity's deployment!"

At this precise moment, every member of the Infinity stood assembled upon the resource platform within the submarine base, their gazes fixed upon the completely refitted armored train. Each individual wore a distinct expression as they observed the train, now encased in a pressure-resistant hull. This hull, meticulously crafted from high-energy structural metal, was fused into a singular, seamless piece, giving the train the appearance of a segmented, elongated submarine. Even the train's windows were not merely for aesthetics; they featured specially engineered, multi-layered composite pressure-resistant portholes—dubbed Star Dust Crystal Glass—capable of withstanding an astonishing 300 atmospheres of extreme pressure.

The meticulous design of these portholes, a joint effort by Lin Xian and Mochizuki Masashi, was not born from a desire for scenic views, but from the critical necessity of deploying supernatural abilities effectively within the crushing depths of the ocean.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Members of the Hawk Sea Group, occupied with transporting vital supplies to the submarine on the Deep Water Port platform, abruptly ceased their activities. Their attention was drawn, as if by magic, to the extraordinary spectacle unfolding above. A most unusual, colossal train was now hovering in the air, gradually descending over the Deep Water Port.

In the very next instant, with the synchronized efforts of KIKI and Ryuji, the powerful spotlights of the Infinity's locomotive cut through the murky black seawater. It was a sight akin to a colossal steel beast bravely plunging into a roiling, dark abyss.

"Alright."

"Lin Xian." Chen Sixuan, positioned at the port's edge and prepared to board, addressed Lin Xian directly. "Once the geothermal well is detonated, this island is likely to sink. We must maintain a safe distance."

"I am aware," Lin Xian replied, glancing at the time. His gaze swept across the assembled team. "Everyone, board the train first. I will accompany Viola to make final arrangements. We likely have less than an hour before nightfall; this is our sole opportunity."

"I'll go with you!" KIKI exclaimed upon hearing Lin Xian's words, immediately flying over. "I can significantly expedite your tasks."

"Very well."

"Lin." Ryan, standing at the entrance of the Abyssal-class Nuclear Submarine, called out to Lin Xian. "I believe we can forgo the preset decoy torpedoes. My recommendation is to cancel the planned launch and adapt our strategy in real-time. What are your thoughts?"

"As you wish," Lin Xian nodded, a spark in his eyes. "If they prove effective, that is."

Given the eruption of Mount Galan and the alarming congregation of sea monsters, the scattered fire from the decoy torpedoes might prove completely ineffective. This was precisely why Lin Xian was placing his bet on the geothermal well at the submarine base. Nevertheless, Ryan's suggestion held merit; keeping it as a potential option might prove useful should they successfully navigate away from this perilous sea area, particularly under the cover of night.

Subsequently, all members of the Infinity commenced boarding the Infinity, now fully operational in deep dive mode. Each carriage had been transformed into a specialized deep-water cabin. Internally, significant alterations were minimal; the primary modifications were the external special pressure-resistant hull, the advanced deep-diving propulsion systems, and the integrated pressure supply modules common to each cabin.

Meanwhile, Lin Xian, accompanied by Viola and KIKI, proceeded towards the location of the upper geothermal well.

Crash~

Mo Xiaotian stood near the porthole of the fifth carriage, observing the external environment through both the train's window and the reinforced porthole. At this juncture, the carriage had already submerged halfway into the sea, its windows being relentlessly battered by the surging waves. Witnessing the chaotic scene of half-water, half-deep-sea outside, Mo Xiaotian's face turned deathly pale. He then turned to Lu Xingchen, his voice trembling, "Master, are we truly descending into the depths?"

"Are you afraid?" Lu Xingchen, who was seated cross-legged before a tea table, calmly brewed a pot of tea for himself. With a slight squint, adopting a leisurely posture, he admonished Mo Xiaotian, "Do not falter. Whether we descend into a boiling abyss or endure a fiery inferno, we are, in essence, tempering our minds through the fires of adversity."

A sphere of Lumina Fire leaped between them. "Xiao Tian, listen carefully. Mortal flesh only dreads drowning! What you hold in your hand is a bolt of lightning that pierces the eternal night!"

Mo Xiaotian watched as Brother Huo, seemingly unfazed, brought the teacup to his lips and sipped with an expression of utter nonchalance. He then tremulously placed the teacup down, his face a mask of bewilderment.

"Do you comprehend?!"

"I understand, I understand."

Not far away, Da Lou, curiously examining the newly installed deep-diving module device within the train, overheard Brother Huo's pronouncement. He couldn't resist pointing towards the porthole. "Brother Huo, observe the seawater—it's as black as ink. There are undoubtedly numerous strange creatures lurking beneath the waves."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen waved a dismissive hand without turning his head. "No need for concern. Any underwater anomalies will be handled by myself; the water itself is not worth my attention, nor will I gaze upon it."

Da Lou chuckled at Mo Xiaotian as Lu Xingchen hesitated to peer outside the window, his laughter successfully diffusing the tense atmosphere. Over in the corner, Ryuji stood with his arms crossed, appearing unconcerned.

It’s common knowledge that Lu Xingchen harbors a profound fear of confined, dark spaces. Despite his composed exterior at this moment, his back was likely slick with sweat.

Within carriage number 3, a group including Chen Sixuan, Shu Qin, Lv Chang, Luo Yang, Xiao Yuan, Qian Deli, and Ning Jing convened. The Blood Crystals, previously acquired from Ryan’s team, were now gathered in a single container. Ding Junyi stood poised over the experiment table, the small flower atop her head in full bloom, bathing her entire form in a powerful green luminescence.

Extending one hand, she unleashed a torrent of dark green vines that snaked outwards, resembling living tendrils as they reached for the Blood Crystals within the container. Regardless of whether they were Level 1, Level 2, or the more potent Level 3 and 4 Blood Crystals, each one became ensnared. The concentrated Dark Energy housed within them was then systematically siphoned out, flowing rapidly towards the center along the serpentine vines!

At this focal point, a remarkable and unique Disaster Plant was astonishingly taking root and growing.

It was the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes!

"Witnessing our scientist employ her superpower is a first, and the ability appears exceptionally potent," Qian Deli remarked, his eyes gleaming with admiration.

Ning Jing, however, regarded the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes with a serious expression. She was aware that this very Disaster Plant had been instrumental in their successful escape from Star Abyss No. 5, possessing the extraordinary capability to generate a dimensional bubble – a truly unparalleled feat.
