Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1262 - 486: Gaze_2

Lv Chang appeared completely bewildered. "Huh, Captain Lin, I don’t quite grasp what you’re saying…"

"Oh, you silly goose." Miao Lu jumped in, cutting to the chase. "What Captain Lin means is, if this Dark Civilization possessed superior power capable of annihilating us, yet held back from unleashing their full might initially, it suggests they either lack crucial intelligence about us, or this ultimate weapon they possess comes at a significant cost!"

"Precisely." Ning Jing concurred, nodding. "I also find the 'using humans as test subjects' explanation hard to swallow. My perspective is that this is merely Star Abyss introducing an even greater risk factor, indicating that the resistance from us survivors has genuinely instilled a sense of threat within the encroaching darkness."

"But…"

Sha Sha gave a shrug. "It all sounds quite logical, but this 'Crimson Descent' truly sounds horrifying. If both the Phoenix Society and the Dawn Center become fragmented, countless individuals might fail to reach the Polar region."

"Even if they manage to reach the Polar region, it won't offer much solace. The current level of unpredictability is an immense headache." Qian Deli leaned back in his chair, remarking with a languid tone. "If we're unable to remain within the crimson zone, it mandates the abandonment of all cities, permanent factories, and residential strongholds. Irrespective of the nature of the Monsters within the crimson, or unsettling phenomena like the spatial passage we just encountered—the sheer challenges of logistics and resupply alone will become a monumental obstacle afterward."

His gaze swept across the assembled individuals. "The secure city strongholds located within the major territories of the Asia-Pacific Continent, South America, North America, and Europe will likely be rendered obsolete. Those weapon manufacturing plants and the bio-domes for agricultural cultivation, established by the Phoenix Society and other allied organizations, cannot be relocated with us. What does this signify?"

"It signifies that all subsequent production and daily living activities must be confined to the train." Lin Xian stated with a grave expression.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere among the group grew heavy and tense.

Lin Xian slowly exhaled. "I mean, I’d like to believe it might not be that dire. Those of us equipped with Full Coverage Power Armor could potentially navigate some areas within the crimson zone. However, it’s undeniably incomparable to the previous black nights. The danger level is significantly elevated. Once we link up with the alliance convoy, I anticipate everyone will be compelled to reside permanently on this Doomsday Train, moving ceaselessly."

"Then your plantation won't be nearly enough~" Monica chimed in with a playful smile.

Lin Xian tilted his head. "Perfect. I had already intended to connect that intercontinental train to the Infinity, augment the cultivation carriages, and initiate some form of livestock husbandry—raising poultry like chickens and ducks, along with larger animals such as cows and sheep."

Ning Jing observed him, offering a faint smile. "Captain Lin, I've consistently perceived a certain inherent 'Qi' within you—regardless of how dire the circumstances become, you invariably manage to unearth a spark of conviction that sustains people's hope."

"If we don't persevere, what other recourse do we have? End ourselves?" Lin Xian retorted with a quip. "Observe yourselves now; each of you is essentially a superhero. A single punch carries the force of a cannon, a solitary strike can cleave through waves, one individual can transform into a colossal giant, another can command Magic Puppets, and yet another unleashes devastating lasers—you are all exerting your utmost capabilities simply to survive. No matter how grim the situation deteriorates, we must forge ahead and devise solutions, mustn't we?"

With that pronouncement, he rose and moved towards the exit. "Shi Zhi reported a development concerning the individuals in the Hibernation Pods. You all maintain vigilance here; I will go investigate."

"I’ll accompany you." Ding Junyi followed closely behind.

"Me too~" Sha Sha’s eyes brightened considerably, and she eagerly trailed after Lin Xian.

Lin Xian delegated the defense duties to Monica and the others. Following their Crystal Grid Evolution, these individuals had become terrifyingly formidable in combat, and with Viola and the Sky Dome’s formidable firepower stationed on the bridge, he felt confident entrusting the sector to them. He, alongside Sha Sha, proceeded swiftly towards the Hibernation Pod hall.

It was still prior to 11 a.m., the external sky cloaked in profound darkness. Despite the turbulent surging of the waves outside, the interior ambiance of the Sky Dome Train remained impeccably tranquil.

The moment Lin Xian stepped into the Hibernation Pod hall, his initial sight was of Chen Sixuan, already clad in a Nanometer Inner Liner Suit, resting within a pod. Her face was slick with perspiration, her long tresses thoroughly drenched, and she presented an image of utter exhaustion. Shi Zhi stood beside her, utilizing her verdant Superpower to pac and calm the tumultuous Dark Energy Fluctuation that was raging violently through Chen Sixuan’s body.

"Her heart rate is elevated, yet her spiritual power readings do not indicate any significant anomalies." Upon noticing Lin Xian’s approach, Shi Zhi immediately conveyed.

Ding Junyi procured the terminal and stated with composure, "15,800. Her Spirit Vibration Value has surged this dramatically?"

Then she turned her gaze to Chen Sixuan. "Based on my records, your previous peak was only around 6,500, right? By this measure, your Crystal Grid has actually grown by more than 140%."

Lin Xian also looked at Chen Sixuan, unable to refrain from asking, "What happened, Teacher Chen? How are you feeling?"

Chen Sixuan slowly nodded, then drew a deep breath and lowered her head. "Lin Xian, I had a nightmare."

"Oh?"

"I dreamed of... a terrifying Monster. No human could possibly escape being Devoured by it, huff..."

Chen Sixuan wiped the sweat from her brow and placed a hand on her chest. "Now I can truly feel that Dark Energy you've been speaking of. It's like... a flowing current of water, present within our atmosphere."

Lin Xian offered a faint smile, letting out a breath of relief upon seeing Chen Sixuan was alright, and assisted her in standing.

"15,800—you could now literally kick that White Giant Monster we encountered back in Jiang City to death. That Red Slug could be torn apart by your bare hands."

"Whoa, Sister Chen, you’ve become that powerful!" Sha Sha exclaimed.

"Am I really that formidable?" Chen Sixuan knitted her brows, glancing up at Lin Xian with a somewhat resentful look, before shifting her attention to the other Hibernation Pods. "What about them? How are they doing?"

"Should be soon," Lin Xian replied.

Sha Sha hurried over to inspect the pods containing Luo Yang and Xiao Qing, one after another. Ultimately, her steps halted before KIKI’s pod. Her small face contorted, her eyes narrowed as she peered inside, and then she immediately beckoned Lin Xian over.
