Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train

Wuuu~

The sun hangs high, the scorching heat waves crack the cement platform at Akse Station into a web-like pattern. Dried camel thorns and distaff grass lie lifelessly in the crevices, their earthen hues devoid of vitality. The iron station sign hanging at the station moans eerily as the wind blows.

The scale of the Joint Train stretches from Akse Station Platform to several kilometers outside the city, and under the blazing sun, shadows shimmer.

To the east lies an endless wasteland, where the wind howls and the horizon is only a sea of rolling heat waves.

There seems to be only a desolate yellow hue left between heaven and earth. After initially relishing a moment of sunlight, having escaped from the darkness, the members of the Joint Fleet are now left with nothing but scorching heat and drought.

Both men and women don thin clothes, their bodies drenched in sweat, as they tirelessly repair and maintain their survival vehicles.

Except for one fleet, Queen Mo.

On an empty ground outside the platform, Monica's subordinates have set up a sunshade canopy. Monica, dressed in hot shorts and a bustier, wearing sunglasses, lies leisurely on a lounge chair. Nearby, a mini refrigerator chills some drinks, and an underling fans her with a cooling fan. She appears unperturbed by the dangers of the wasteland, as if she's merely on vacation.

The combination of her commanding aura and extraordinarily provocative physique causes not only her subordinates nearby to have nosebleeds but also draws the eyes of the busy male team members in various fleets on the platform to sneak glances. Somehow, they all feel the air at Akse has grown even hotter.

Monica ignores the gazes of those around her, seemingly taking a nap, but her eyes remain fixed on Lin Xian in the distant track section, assiduously controlling drones and numerous levitating materials for train modification.

"Mechanical superpower seems… far from what I understand of superpowers," she murmurs softly to herself.

At Akse Station Platform, Infinity has already disconnected from Dragon Mountain No.1, undergoing carriage reconfiguration on the spare track section.

Lin Xian operates drones for modification and manufacturing at the Dragon-level carriage. Li Yi and Xiao Yuan lead over a hundred people in tireless assistance to Lin Xian.

Though her belly is quite large, Li Yi's face reflects her ardent longing for survival and dawn. After that night in Yijin City, Lin Xian's invitation has kept Li Yi sleepless. She and Liang Lei have steadfastly played roles as saviors along the escape route. But now, by joining Infinity, she feels she has found a reliable platform to rely on, so Li Yi is deeply grateful. Were she not pregnant, she would certainly be helping by lifting and jumping with armored steel plates, given her identity as a Superpower User.

"Sister-in-law, take a rest. Leave these to us!"

Several towering men, donned in engineering exoskeleton power armors, continuously transport armor plates and materials crafted by Lin Xian. Seeing Li Yi bustling around, they can't help but urge her.

"Yeah, it's quite hot outside, and the wind is strong."

"Now is not the time to rest." Li Yi, carrying a heavy toolbox, follows behind, loudly saying, "We'll enter the wasteland tomorrow. Captain Lin said, the more preparation, the better. It's never wrong."

"Li Yi sis." At this moment, Xiao Yuan runs over to inform her, "Come inside and help us organize the supplies. We need to clear out a lot of space."

"Oh, okay." Hearing it's Lin Xian's arrangement, Li Yi promptly nods. She hadn't realized Xiao Yuan was sent by Lin Xian, who intended for Li Yi to handle internal affairs. Seeing her heavily pregnant and still busy with heavy tasks, he had Xiao Yuan call her onto the train to help.

On the spare track section at Akse, an 800-meter heavy armored train has been arrayed, evidently combining two different armored styles, yet it maintains an overall imposing presence.

Inside is being cleaned and arranged according to Lin Xian's plan, while people are welding carriage defense armor and automated gates at the external junctions of each carriage. Though Lin Xian cannot complete all the outer armor at once, at least the entire train must form a fully sealed state.

At the front of the train, Lin Xian is controlling several PX05 maintenance robots to dismantle the main control console of the Dragon-level carriages and assembling a large reinforced connection carriage to link the Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine engine train. This assembly sounds potentially hazardous, but for Lin Xian, there is no such concern, because his manufacturing is based on the precise industrial production following the full set of blueprints of the Dragon-level. The parts forged are newer than new, not just simple welding.

As he ponders, several hovering PX05 robots are guided by Lin Xian's Mechanical Heart to conduct standardized operations, and the eyes of these robots become Lin Xian's 'eyes'.

Initially, Lin Xian wasn't fully adapted; after unlocking remote control, he acquired this ability, with perspectives from all directions flooding into his mind. Soon, he felt dizzy, with vestibular disorder, experiencing episodes of dizziness, visual spinning, and nausea. It was only by forcibly perceiving mechanically that he started to slightly adapt to this omnidirectional view.

All his life, he had been accustomed to seeing the world through a pair of eyes, and now suddenly having so many view points was indeed quite troublesome. It's only a few units now, but he recalls his plan to manufacture thousands of Thunder Falcon 2000 Attack Drones; if thousands are truly made in the future, how would he control them all?
