Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train

Chu Yan.

At this moment, she was dressed as a researcher, wearing black-framed glasses, with short hair neatly styled, bright eyes and neat teeth. If it weren't for those cold eyes, Lin Xian might have thought she was really a researcher.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Xian shrugged: "Every time you ask that question, I want to know too."

"No, this time is different."

Chu Yan looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, then coldly said: "Help me."

"What?"

"Follow me, don't wander around."

After speaking, Chu Yan quickly opened the door and walked outside. Lin Xian frowned and hurriedly followed behind.

Watching Chu Yan walking quickly ahead, Lin Xian felt a cloud of suspicion rising in his heart. This was his first physical contact with this woman, but it was logically inexplicable. He wasn't supposed to be physically here, so he shouldn't be experiencing this kind of tactile sensation.

Yet the current scene was so real that Lin Xian instinctively tried to operate Mechanical Heart.

He managed to activate it, but strangely, the light screen of Mechanical Heart did not appear before his eyes.

How bizarre...

"Where are we going?"

Lin Xian watched Chu Yan lead him swiftly towards the end of the corridor, then silently open the door of an office, which was luxuriously furnished, indicating that the owner's status was not low.

Chu Yan said nothing and directly went to the computer on the desk, quickly operating something.

"Are you stealing something?"

"Yes." Chu Yan responded directly.

Lin Xian looked surprised, wondering what kind of person Chu Yan was to act like a spy stealing information. He slowly walked over and looked at a nameplate on the desk, then immediately frowned.

"Julius Litt..."

"This name seems so familiar."

「I... don't know much, my husband brought me here. This organization is extremely mysterious. I've only ever seen one person at the highest level here, a 40-something white man named Julius Litt, who explained the properties of the mycelium network and took us to experience Illusion Spores. The rest...」

Suddenly, memories surged forth, and he remembered seeing the sign in the corridor when following Chu Yan—[5F, Core Experiment Area]. His expression changed drastically.

Chu Yan, busy at the computer, looked up at Lin Xian's expression, her lips discreetly curling up slightly.

"Pretty smart."

Lin Xian was incredulous: "No way, didn't Deep Red Pharmaceutical's underground fifth floor get covered by mycelium long ago, and the people have evacuated?"

Chu Yan heard this and paused her typing.

"You've been here?"

"You didn't know I was here?" This time, Lin Xian was stunned and immediately said, "Wasn't it you who reminded me that the corpse chaser from Star Abyss No.5 appeared in this area during the last tidal cycle and suggested we hide underground for recuperation before leaving in the next active cycle of the mycelium?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan had a moment of confusion flashing across her face. She looked at Lin Xian: "What are you talking about? Was our last meeting not in Yu Bei City?"

"Hold on!"

Lin Xian was taken aback and immediately asked: "How many times have we met?"

"Including this time?"

"Including."

"Four times."

Lin Xian looked puzzled: "Twice in the Jiang City shelter, once in Yu Bei, and now. Are you sure we haven't met elsewhere?"

"No." Chu Yan glanced at him and said calmly.

"Then what is this place really..."

Bang bang bang!

Before he could finish, sudden gunshots sounded at the door. Chu Yan sped up her typing, as if having obtained what she wanted, immediately stood up: "Follow me."

Lin Xian turned to look back, only to see that the office door had been pierced with numerous bullet holes, and a group of people was preparing to break in.

"Who's inside!"

"Security! Apprehend them!"

A man shouted angrily.

At this time, Chu Yan came to a corner of the office, familiarly moved a mechanism, and the bookshelf unexpectedly opened to reveal a secret door. Seeing this, Lin Xian quickly followed suit and went through.

The two swiftly emerged from a concealed passageway and arrived at a bright and spacious corridor, and at the end of the corridor stood a large elevator.

Lin Xian remembered this corridor. At that time, he had led KIKI and the squad through the illusion-inducing giant fungus in Deep Red Pharmaceutical Center's atrium using this elevator to descend to this level. When the elevator doors opened, the entire corridor was already covered with mycelium vines, and they had wound their way to the underground platform and found Zero Element Center via the underground rail train.

At this moment, Lin Xian was running alongside Chu Yan, his mind whirling with thoughts.

Could he have traveled through time and returned to before Yijin was covered in mycelium?

Why does Grace at Zero Element Center have a holographic image of Chu Yan and even provides information about corpse chasers?

How could he encounter Chu Yan now, is he not on the Infinity?

All these questions spun like a tangled, murky tar in Lin Xian's mind.

Bang bang bang!

At this time, a barrage of gunfire came from behind, Lin Xian instinctively activated an AT Force Field Shield backward, but there was nothing to it, so he could only bend down and dodge the bullets while accelerating toward the elevator.

Ding!

The elevator opened, and Chu Yan and Lin Xian quickly rushed in, hiding on both sides of the elevator doors. In the corridor, a group of armed personnel was frantically shooting at the elevator. Behind them was a cold-faced, tall, thin middle-aged white man, who, unsurprisingly, should be Julius Litt, the supervisor-level figure at Zero Element Center.
