Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train

Chapter 299: Lu Xingchen's Upheaval



Sss~

In the dark underground track, the automatic doors of the Infinite Train opened. Lin Xian, wearing a black Lone Wolf S Power Armor, walked to the door, with the night vision system and smart target search system automatically activated to help him observe the situation at both ends of the dark tunnel.

The overall coordination of this power armor is very good, with decent protective capabilities. Back in Xilan City, Lin Xian had seen soldiers wearing similar power armor in a mechanical corps of the Seventh Investigation Corps, although the paint and model differed slightly, but overall it was similar to those under Monica.

Soldiers who wear such power armor generally belong to special operations units, a notch above the standard exoskeleton equipped by the entire interstellar army. Coupled with the body evolution brought by dark energy, these soldiers should at least possess Evolution Level or even Vajra Level combat capabilities.

However, combat capability assessment is one thing, actual combat is another. Human bodies are still very fragile compared to those monsters. Even the most ordinary Snow Demon could potentially be lethal if caught off guard by its sharp tail sting. Lin Xian had studied the tail sting of the Snow Demon, which is of extremely high density, comparable to high-strength hard alloy. It's hard to imagine carbon-based organisms growing such biological limbs.

With these Lone Wolf S Power Armors, the members of the Infinite Train have overall been strengthened, becoming not only more agile but also more protective. Along with the latest Arc Pulse Guns, their individual combat power can now match that of the interstellar army; however, there's still a gap in tactical literacy compared to professionally trained soldiers. Another aspect is the effect brought by the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, which serves as a cold dark reagent converter for all members, allowing them to advance further in evolution. The Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube provides a shielding effect against dark intrusion, making the evolution of Infinite Train members somewhat safer.

"Hey, Lin Xian."

KIKI followed behind Lin Xian, whispering to him: "Do you think Brother Huo has been acting a bit strange since we came down here?"

"How so?"

"This guy would usually be the first to drink alcohol and tea, and he loves showing off. But ever since we came down to this underground tunnel, he's been rather quiet, and he even wore several layers of clothes." KIKI frowned. "Don't you think that's odd?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian pondered before replying, "I remember last time when we went to the SIID Foundation's underground research facility, he mentioned that he doesn't like being underground. Perhaps that's why."

KIKI nodded. "Oh~ I remember now. Alright."

Lin Xian and KIKI got off the train together. He had already manufactured multiple transport rail trailers outside the weapon depot on the vacant track, specializing in storing all-terrain armored trucks and Night Flight Star Flying Devices, which the people from Dragon Mountain No.1 would load onto the trailers. Lin Xian then manufactured simple external carriages outside the trailers. When the train departs, the last car will hitch and tow them, saving a lot of hassle.

He plans to first devour some valuable targets within the Zero Element Center, then return to the train to spend time manufacturing a new electromagnetic railgun to enhance firepower.

The two arrived at the Zero Element Center station along the tunnel, entered through the already deactivated danger passage, and as the automatic door opened, Luo Yang and others turned around at once.

"Captain Lin!"

Lin Xian's gaze swept over, noticing Luo Yang, along with the injured Li Guangwen, Ah Min, and Luo Luo. They were also dressed in black Lone Wolf Power Armor, standing in the hall talking quietly. Upon seeing Lin Xian, they immediately approached.

"Nothing unusual, those robots are operating automatically, although the main brain is offline, it's issued numerous malfunction alarms, but without any impact."

Lin Xian nodded. After all, there were over a thousand people lying here. To ensure there were no issues, he had Luo Yang arrange someone to guard this place. Unexpectedly, he personally brought a few injured people along.

"Captain Lin." Li Guangwen, Luo Luo, and Ah Min, the young ones, eagerly greeted him.

"How are the injuries?" Lin Xian looked at them, aware that they were severely injured. Though the all-effective medical cabin had done emergency repairs on external injuries, the human body isn't as simple as mechanical repair. All of them had been on the brink of death, and the one built like a bull with Metal Skin superpower, Liang Lei, still hadn't awakened.

"Much better now." Luo Luo and Ah Min looked at Lin Xian gratefully.

"Yes, thanks to Captain Lin's medical cabin."

"Hmm?" At that moment, KIKI flew to the row of control terminals, observing the fluctuation data. "The brainwave activity of these people seems to have collectively decreased a lot."

"Indeed!"

Luo Yang said: "We discovered it upon arrival. I checked the detection period, and ever since the 'active' period Captain Lin mentioned ended, everyone's brainwave and consciousness signal fluctuations have reduced by at least 98%, and more than a dozen people have shown signs of brain death."

Lin Xian walked to the glass wall, looking towards the hive-like central structure below. Those hexagonal hive modules were still flashing blue light, each person seemed to be peacefully asleep, and those white mycelium had been cut off again by special intervention equipment.

"It appears this system is set to cycle with the active frequency of the mycelium, active for 9 hours, then disconnected for 30 hours."
