Lin Xian implements a tiered cultivation plan using the Crystal Grid Device. While some team members undergo cultivation, others prepare for the docking of a military train with the Sky Dome. Lin Xian takes time to rest in his new quarters, reflecting on the team's progress and the construction of robots. Meanwhile, some team members enjoy a moment of peace, discussing the potential threat of the Scarlet.

"But we can’t get out either, isn’t that terrifying?" Miao Lu frowned with worry, "Moreover, they say there might be monsters out there more terrifying than the Abnormal Body. Oh my, the Abnormal Body is scary enough, what could be more terrifying than that..."

Xiao Yuan, however, paused with her shovel in hand, looking at a green fruit on the tomato vine, her eyes sparkling as she said,

"On the contrary, I don’t find it scary at all; I find it rather thrilling."

"Thrilling?" Miao Lu looked at Xiao Yuan with bafflement, "What’s gotten into you? Are you lovesick and feverish, addling your brain?"

"Think about it!" Xiao Yuan muttered while gazing ahead, "Outside, it’s like hell covered in scarlet, but on our Sky Dome Train, it’s an incredibly safe absolute fortress, a safe harbor, with the armor, weapons, and Taboo Items made by Captain Lin protecting us. Those demons and ghosts are completely kept outside, and we keep moving forward, with wild storms outside, laughter inside the train, a complete water and oxygen cycle, plenty of entertainment, and no lack of food resources or leisure activities. Plus, we can learn and improve with Director Ding, evolve our superpowers with Captain Lin; it’s simply wonderful..."

"I even hope that the track never ends, that our Steel Fortress just keeps going endlessly..."

As she spoke, Xiao Yuan became more engrossed, her eyes twinkling as if filled with dreams.

"Endlessly, and then the inside of the train becomes an independent world, an independent kingdom. Then you can help Captain Lin have two children, after all, it’s the end of the world, and Captain Lin has to take on the responsibility of saving the world, so it’s absolutely necessary and obligatory to find a few more wives and have some more children, right?!" Miao Lu looked at Xiao Yuan with a teasing smile.

"Go, go away~" The dreaming Xiao Yuan was flushed beet red by Miao Lu’s words, but she was already used to Miao Lu’s teasing, so she retaliated by spraying her face with a spritz bottle, "I think you’re like the parched land meeting a rainstorm; let’s sprinkle some water on you. At the world’s end, how many are you planning to have to bear the responsibility of reproduction?"

"I’m not afraid, the more the merrier, hahahaha..."

The greenhouse resounded with laughter.

In his dream, Lin Xian saw many things: the helicopter crash in Jiang City, the White Giant Monster roaring, the Red Slug in the freezer, the Fog Spider crawling across Beibei Town, the terrifying three-headed spider of Yushan City, the eerie screams from the Mysterious Radio, narrowly escaping from Underground City No. 9 under the chase of the Earthquake Catfish, and then ascending to the kilometer-high corridor under the pursuit of Atmospheric Mica and corpse chasers in Yu Bei City...

Beyond were Hengshan Pass, Qingshui Town, a blizzard on the Palma Prairie, Abyss Giant Worm in Ice Valley, to the snowstorm watch battle in Xilan City, the explosion of the Heavenly Mushroom Tower in Yijin City, to the nighttime great escape from Star Abyss No. 5...

He seemed to see the hundred-meter walls of Dawn City collapsing in battle and the faces of each sacrificed resister. He remembered Julius’s wild laughter, Zhou Mingyuan’s chilling gaze, and the parting sight of Chu Zhaonan’s spine as sharp as a sword when he left the office.

Scenes flickered quickly like a kaleidoscope in his mind, colliding, flashing, and overlapping like fragments.

Then they dissipated, turning into a slow tide.

Tick-tick, tick-tick.

The alert sound chimed, and after calibrating overnight, the timing of nightfall became accurate again.

Lin Xian lay sideways on the bed, the nano maintenance device for his Power Armor by the window. He wore only a pair of shorts, having not slept so ’lightly’ on a cool bed for a long time.

Opening his eyes, outside the porthole was a golden sunset, with the residual light warmly casting over his body. It was indeed an incredibly comfortable afternoon suitable for sleep.

The radio had not been on for a long time; after the scarlet, global radio was jammed, and humanity had to struggle for survival under the shadow.

Lin Xian remained motionless, looking at the sunlight outside, 18:42. Time ticked by, and for some reason, he had a strong premonition that this might be his last chance to sleep so comfortably or watch the sunset.

He reached out, trying to grasp the golden afterglow with his fingers, the beam at his fingertips intensely bright, like heaven.

Yet the next moment, a glare flashed, and the once-clear sunset sky instantly turned dark, as if the light had been extinguished. The scarlet sunset became a white dot on a black screen, slowly descending into the sea level, then the sky was shrouded by a nebula and a black blur in the air.

Shoo~

"It’s dark."

Lin Xian sat up, and Viola’s voice came through the communicator.

[I detected your awakening. It is now nighttime, and no anomalies have transpired.] "Understood," Lin Xian replied, rising to commence his duties. He had rested for more than four hours. Once his Mechanical Manufacturing Level attained level 7, he could cease drone production and begin equipping the Sky Dome Train with the incomplete armaments, awaiting the initial group of teammates to finalize the Crystal Grid Evolution. According to projected timelines, it was anticipated that before dawn tomorrow, everyone would achieve the Crystal Grid Evolution. This was also a measure to guarantee adequate preparations for the impending catastrophe. "Teacher Chen, have they all returned?" Lin Xian donned his Power Armor, activated the communicator, and inquired. "All gathered resources have been secured within the Sky Dome Train's supply depot. Viola's computations indicate these provisions are sufficient for 1,000 individuals to subsist for six months, with the majority being high-quality victuals, akin to the steak and bread you consumed at noon."
