Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1387 538: The Third Plan!

The wind rises, and ripples form on the Snow Mountain Lake.

Lin Xian sighed deeply, "So, after those two starships escaped, humanity in the future closed a loop on the timeline. They sent a signal back to Blue Star in an attempt to help us."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Lan's back.

"But it seems that high-dimensional humans are not all on the same side, and what the Foundation represents is the attempt to completely annihilate us on Blue Star. Am I wrong?"

"It's just speculation."

Ye Lan glanced at her watch, "We cannot fathom the thoughts and stances of those high-dimensional beings. To them, we are like ants in the ground, merely thinking about how to survive."

Lin Xian keenly noticed the dense needle marks on Ye Lan's wrist as she looked at her watch and asked tentatively,

"Professor Ye, you..."

"After the information from the South Heavenly Gate appeared, we can almost confirm that humans will have no chance to escape the Heavenly Veil," Ye Lan interrupted him and said.

Lin Xian felt a shock in his heart, "What about the Heavenly Veil project in Kunlun City now?"

"Lin Xian."

Ye Lan looked at him and smiled, "The simulated ecological environment here is beautiful. You might want to try scanning it. I've talked with you for so long, I'm a bit tired now. I'm leaving."

"Professor Ye."

Lin Xian stopped her, "I still want to ask you a question."

Ye Lan halted her steps.

"Why did you not want to see me? By calling you here this time, they'll isolate and detain you. Can I know why?"

The wind roared.

"Because I don't have much time left, so I want to leave some time to think properly."

"Is it cancer?" Lin Xian responded. His Mechanical Heart had already scanned the morphine maintenance device on Ye Lan, "Is it caused by the Scarlet? You should have stayed within the range of the homogeneity device."

"That's also why you stepped down from the commander's position, isn't it? Humanity can't despair, even though you know the Heavenly Veil can never be broken."

"We can't create the homogeneity device before the Scarlet arrives."

Ye Lan turned her head back and gave Lin Xian a faint smile:

"It's not without benefits. It stimulated my thinking and, in a way, helped me. Lin Xian, I'm leaving."

"...Professor Ye, take care."

Ye Lan left in the twilight, heading toward her final journey.

...

In Kunlun City, as time passed day by day, the oppressive atmosphere gradually intensified.

Everyday, some people hoped the starship launched by the Kunlun Center would bring back good news. Every few days, large transport ships would come and transport the corpses of an S-Class Abnormal Body.

Everyone knew that these were used for research to break through the Heavenly Veil.

Although there had been no success since Dawn City, it was still considered the direction with the highest chance of success.

In Kunlun City, the internet was filled with various kinds of information. Numerous people communicated through the city's internet, and within a few short months, Kunlun City witnessed the rise of some factions and religions, spreading their ideas online.

Men and women, young and old, each expressed their emotions and stances toward humanity.

Regarding the Foundation's warnings, the Phoenix Society has issued many official statements, suppressing the voices of doubt. Most rational people would not agree to worship as heroes those who have repeatedly saved humanity from crises in exchange for appeasing the Descent Faction.

Yet, a small group remains, stirring public sentiment everywhere.

Some even initiated similar polls. Initially, those supporting Lin Xian were almost at 99%, but as time passed, these sporadic online polls gradually showed results of 97%, 95%, 92%.

Besides trying to halt this trend, the Phoenix Society also began strengthening the defenses.

Numerous transport ships and the interstellar army rotated their formations atop the high walls. In the factory of the Kunlun Central, hundreds of various types of weapon starships were being constructed almost simultaneously, with drones and tens of thousands of engineers creating miracles in human engineering.

At the same time, the third generation of mechas under the Emperor Plan were being built at a fast pace. The factory was filled with tension, as both the city and the interstellar army recruited and tested batch after batch of neural drivers.

Everyone was acutely aware that humanity's final battle was not far away.

On a high building, a girl sat on the edge, looking at the distant Kunlun Central, lost in thought.

"It's been so long, and they haven't disclosed Lin Xian's situation at all."

Chen Sixuan approached from behind, looking at KIKI's back, "The people from the Phoenix Society just replied to us with the same response. It's possible he's secretly preparing some plan again. You know his character."

KIKI pouted, her gaze filled with complex emotions, "I wasn't thinking about him at all."

Chen Sixuan chuckled, "Really? I see someone's been daydreaming, not even playing games after finally reaching this safe zone. Aren't you wondering what someone is doing?"

KIKI averted her eyes, pouting in denial,

"It's because my wound hasn't healed yet. My God, making that huge train buffer and land isn't an easy task."

"Alright, alright, I know you've worked hard."

The two of them, one sitting and one standing, looked toward the polar skyline. The cold wind blew their hair, stretching their silhouettes into the distance under the sky's glow.

KIKI turned her head slightly, "Have you arranged everything on the Sky Dome Train?"

Chen Sixuan crossed her arms, smiling wryly, "With Deputy Captain Jian Xuwei, there's no need for me to worry. Once the new ship modules are complete, our Sky Dome Train can accommodate at least a hundred thousand people—a large undertaking. It's the main transfer unit of the Phoenix Society. In a way, we can say we've got a boarding pass."
