Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1383 536: Phoenix Society (Part 2)

"So what exactly is the plan, keeping me protected here, farming and looking at the scenery every day and then waiting for the apocalypse?!"

"Or are you afraid that a Superpower User with a hundred thousand Spirit Vibration Value like me will be assassinated with a single shot on the road?"

He glanced at the calling device on his wrist and pressed it directly: "Answer me!"

"Sorry, I can't tell you the reason."

A holographic projection appeared, showing an acquaintance of Lin Xian, Wen Zhuo, who was previously the leader of the Nightwalker's Starfire Third Division action team in the Xilan City defense battle.

The Nightwalker with a slightly short stature but handsome looks, possessing electromagnetic superpowers.

Lin Xian remembered that he was a friend of Zhou Wuer.

However, Wen Zhuo's current identity is his caretaker, or rather, his monitor.

He is fully responsible for all his requests, with the exception of leaving here, and the Phoenix Society will unconditionally fulfill any request he makes.

It sounds like when he previously received 'Glory' level authority from the robot Ai Li before his suicide in the ending of Civilization No. 807, allowing for unlimited enjoyment and amusement.

"To be honest, I don't know the reason either, but I believe the committee's choice must be beneficial to you."

Wen Zhuo calmly said, "There's currently no danger, it's rare to have a chance to rest, actually, you can relax a bit, you've saved millions, you can totally take this as a reward and protection."

"But at least let me know what's going on?!"

Lin Xian shouted, "Like how far the Heavenly Veil has progressed, I have the South Heavenly Gate link, shouldn't you consider applying it, or shouldn't your committee consider researching the Space Gate I can summon, these could all be key to changing the tide of war?!"

"Yes, I'm curious too, and I admire your attitude, but I don't have the authorization to tell you these things. I believe you'll soon understand the purpose of the higher-ups' arrangements."

Lin Xian sighed helplessly, lowered his head and thought for a while: "Then can I see my friends?"

"You can, but it's not recommended."

"Why?"

"If they see you, they must also be monitored and isolated like you." Wen Zhuo said lightly.

Lin Xian's pupils contracted, he opened his mouth, suddenly realizing something, he silently sat by the lakeside watching the sunset over the lake.

After a long time, he spoke

"I want to see Professor Ye."

Wen Zhuo's eyes flickered, then he turned off the holographic screen.

Seeing Ye Lan again, Lin Xian found her hair had turned completely silvery white, appearing much older than when they were in Dawn City before, Lin Xian hadn't realized that the Ye Lan he saw through the consciousness link on the train was not clear, seeing her standing by the lakeside now, the silvery strands rustling in the breeze seemed to already be inscribed with the sad ballad of human years.

The only constant was still that pair of deep and peaceful eyes, and the Phoenix Society emblem on her black woolen coat.

"Professor Ye, you..."

Lin Xian wanted to ask something, but found he didn't know where to begin, he wanted to see Ye Lan to pour out countless questions, but seeing Professor Ye standing before him now, he suddenly regretted this decision somewhat inexplicably.

"The original purpose of creating this place was to verify whether the ecosystem of Blue Star could be artificially reshaped."

Ye Lan looked towards the sunset, the lake, and the snowy mountains, her voice steady: "But after our continuous attempts, we realized that we cannot save the ecosystem, instead, the ecosystem has been saving us all along."

"Mountains, water, sunlight, air, each is precious, countless miraculous coincidences have forged the ecological civilization of Blue Star, from an engineering perspective, that's romantic enough."

"Professor Ye, what exactly happened?" Lin Xian still couldn't help but ask.

She raised her hand towards the dazzling golden sunlight, sighed, and began to tell

"76 years ago, my father was Ye Beiji, the then group leader of the PandaX-4T Liquid Xenon Experiment Cooperation Group at Dragon Country's Ping Mountain Dark Matter Research Institute. At that time, this experimental group first detected an extraordinary dark matter in a very low recoil energy region using PandaX-4T. Years later, through gravitational wave decoding, people discovered it was an 'envelope' encoded on a cosmic string network composed of dark matter."

"An envelope?"

"Yes, similar to the type of information the South Heavenly Gate received, the content was very simple, foretelling the arrival of the apocalypse."

Lin Xian frowned: "Apocalypse Day?"

Ye Lan nodded: "But this information was not given the highest priority initially, because unrest and turmoil were constant across various countries and regions of the world at that time. So my father Ye Beiji took the initiative to unite scientists and political figures from various sides, secretly forming an organization to continuously research and monitor these types of dark matter information reaching Blue Star, and lobbied various organizations to begin investing in and paying attention to the crisis of the doomsday prophecy."

"Gradually, due to unshakeable scientific evidence, governments of various countries began to acknowledge the existence of the crisis, and for reasons related to this, the originally chaotic world order quickly headed towards a World Federation led by Dragon Country. The whole world started to unify and develop technology, preparing to resist the arrival of Apocalypse Day. In order to prevent the world from falling into chaos and humanity into despair, the plan has always been the Federation's top secret, so much so that even many later politicians were not aware, because once the target was established, that was enough."

"And this secret organization that continuously researches and monitors the doomsday warning is the Phoenix Society."

Lin Xian was shocked: "So you knew about the arrival of Apocalypse Day all along?"

"What difference does knowing make?"

Ye Lan sighed: "We constructed a powerful Interstellar Army Fleet, developed the Wangyue Planet Ring and the Small Asteroid Defense Platform, South Heavenly Gate, acquired Quantum Computers, but when the apocalypse truly arrived, none of it mattered, our Power Armor, Starships couldn't withstand the dark invasion, billions of humans worldwide turned into zombies overnight..."

"Not meaningless." Lin Xian said solemnly: "At least under a unified Federation, they quickly responded with emergency measures to gather most of the survivors."

"Yes."

Ye Lan nodded: "That's also the original intention of the Phoenix Society's existence, looking back now, even if we had another chance, the result wouldn't have been much different, we cannot deal with the unknown enemy."

"So, you know the details about the Foundation, do they also know that Apocalypse Day is coming?"

Ye Lan was silent for a moment, slowly saying

"Strictly speaking, the Foundation and the Phoenix Society were initially one organization."

"What?!" Lin Xian was completely shocked.

He was numb, the Foundation was actually the same as the Phoenix Society?

"But..." Lin Xian's mind was completely in chaos, as if ten thousand fine horses were galloping through his heart.

"How did they turn into the Descent Faction then?"

"Because of a divergence in understanding survival." Ye Lan said: "Initially, our intention was to extend the development of human civilization."

"In the end, did they realize that high-dimensional civilization couldn't be defeated, so they developed the idea of 'humanity's inevitable defeat'?" Lin Xian recalled Hua Xiaoling's words.

"Yes."

Ye Lan stated calmly: "So they regarded the civilization that warned us as a Savior, believing that this civilization would descend to save humanity."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian's eyes flickered, and he sighed: "Escaping isn't shameful, if it were me, I'd have similar thoughts, but the problem is..."

"But the problem is why did they turn their guns around and seek human extinction?"

"Yes, why?"

Ye Lan shook her head: "Initially, we were still cooperating with the Foundation because we had a lot of research resources there, but until the message from the South Heavenly Gate was revealed to the world, things started to change..."

Lin Xian's eyes were sharp: "I guessed correctly, that message was really meant for humans!?"

"But why? To tell us of the apocalypse yet also advise us not to resist?"

"I've pondered this question for a long time too."

Ye Lan looked at Lin Xian:

"Actually, the answer lies within you."
