Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1254 - 83: The Crimson Arrival_3

Gazing upon the formidable, sci-fi-esque armed fortresses suspended in the Star Orbital, Lin Xian felt an inexplicable connection to the event Chu Yan had spoken of – the scarlet arrival. He mused, "If the world is engulfed by scarlet, perhaps this train will become our final sanctuary, an oasis where we can seek refuge, fight back, and fulfill our last desires..."

Beep beep, beep beep...

The alarm chimed. Lin Xian checked the time: 10:45 AM. Dawn was imminent. With KIKI and Teacher Chen's Crystal Grid Evolution estimated to take another two to three hours, Lin Xian had spent the entire night meticulously scanning every inch of the Sky Dome Train via Viola's interface. He continuously monitored the vital signs of everyone on board. The night had passed in utter tranquility, devoid of any disturbances.

"Captain, is it time for us to depart?" Qian Deli's voice crackled through the communicator.

Lin Xian's Power Armor engaged, soaring directly towards the train. Upon reaching the main bridge, he found Shu Qin, Lv Chang, Qian Deli, and Monica already assembled. Ning Jing joined them, greeting him from the Arsenal Ship via communicator.

"How is your recovery?" Lin Xian inquired of Qian Deli and Shu Qin.

"Perfectly urgent," Qian Deli replied with a composed shrug, glancing at his chest. "Adding an alien battery wasn't as bothersome as I anticipated; in fact, I slept more soundly."

Shu Qin nodded. "My body hasn't fully acclimated yet. I believe we need to activate the Crystal Grid once to truly perceive our power levels."

"I understand," Lin Xian smiled. "An opportunity will arise."

Currently, Sun Yuzhen and Xiao Yuan were tasked with continuously observing KIKI and the others in the Hibernation Pods. Lin Xian announced, "As soon as daylight breaks, we set off. Our objective is to reach the G78 Base Station near Santo Island before nightfall to rest, and then disembark at Panama tomorrow."

"Understood."

Buzz!

Precisely as the schedule predicted, a flash of light illuminated the sky. The previously dark expanse was immediately bathed in the brilliant glow of the rising sun, casting a bright light upon the world.

"What is that?" As the Sky Dome Train's engine rumbled, hovering on the tracks and preparing to tow the military train, Monica, standing by the main bridge window, suddenly exclaimed as she looked outside. Instantly, all eyes followed her gaze towards the distant horizon, their concentration fixed.

Unlike the clear blue sky of the previous day, a formidable, pitch-black storm cloud, resembling a colossal wall, loomed at the far edge of the West Coast of Oahu Island, refusing to recede and completely engulfing thousands of nautical miles.

"Is that... the edge of Star Abyss?" Shu Qin questioned, her brow furrowed. "Extreme Night arriving so soon?"

"No, that is not Extreme Night," Lin Xian stated, stepping closer. His eyes narrowed slightly as the Power Armor's visual sensors zoomed in. Within that world-consuming black wall, a chilling crimson tide was slowly unfurling, roaring as if from a chasm in Hell itself. Despite the thousands of nautical miles separating them, a piercing cold sensation washed over everyone.

"Scarlet..." Qian Deli's expression darkened, and he retorted coldly, "The Pacific Ocean is vast, but this is happening sooner than we anticipated."

Lin Xian's gaze swept across the scene. He immediately activated the Mechanical Heart, synchronizing his thoughts with Viola and the Sky Dome. With a 'woo~' sound, the engine began to vibrate at high frequency. "There will be no dawn in that direction. We are departing immediately!"
