The Sea Rock Island waters were haunted by ghostly waves, and the sky was engulfed in a violent storm. At 16:12 in the afternoon, the atmosphere was deathly silent and heavy in the monitoring hall beneath the Island Submarine Base.

Everyone remained silent. The people on the Infinity quickly calmed down from their shock. They’ve often faced life-and-death situations. Lin Xian’s insane plan didn’t surprise anyone anymore, and it seemed like the only evacuation plan under the current crisis.

On the Hawk Sea Group’s side, everyone wore a solemn expression. Gedi broke the silence: "So, Captain Lin, your plan is to have all of us take that nuclear submarine and escape through the ’Jingyuan Vortex Channel’?"

Lin Xian responded: "Routes on the track, sea, and sky all seem impossible. Aside from hiding on the island to seek refuge, there’s no way to escape with so many Abnormal Bodies ’feasting’ here. But now, the volcano’s geothermal wells have become ticking time bombs due to the instability of the Galan Volcano. Hiding is no longer optimal. This, you all should understand." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Ryan nodded, speaking quite seriously: "Did you come up with this plan because the energy leak of Chasan Island captured images of the Giant Ocean God, and now we have an opportunity to go through the ocean ridge abyss?"

"Yes."

"Okay." Ryan immediately lowered his sunglasses and decisively said, "I agree with this plan."

"Ryan!"

At this moment, Erica quickly spoke up: "Even if we abandon the fleet and the Neptune, that submarine can’t carry so many people, or are we abandoning all weapons and supplies as well?"

"That’s right." Vanessa pulled up some data: "I just checked. That Abyssal-level Beifeng-09 Strategic Nuclear Submarine below has a nuclear capacity of 400 people. We have nearly 500 people here, plus heavy power armor. If everyone boards, it’s quite a burden. Even if we successfully escape, without supplies, how long can so many of us survive in the Pacific Ocean?"

"There’s another problem." Mechanic Azir spoke to Ryan: "As mentioned earlier, this super vortex has a flow rate exceeding 40 centimeters per second, with water depths surpassing 1000 meters. This situation poses a huge test for the submarine’s structural materials. Although people from the Holy City have traversed this path before, the continuous eruption of the Galan Volcano makes water temperature and volcanic sand a problem. In such a situation, any collision with large volcanic rocks or strong vortices could easily crush the submarine under water pressure and water flow, let alone the Abnormal Bodies."

Hearing everyone’s words, Ryan simply raised his hand to signal for silence, then shrugged and said,

"Of course, I’m aware of these issues, but does anyone have a better plan aside from the one Lin mentioned?" He looked at the time: "It’s 16:20 now. Hiding here, we don’t even know whether nightfall or the volcanic eruption will come first. To survive, we need to make a big gamble, don’t we?"

The key members of the Hawk Sea Group all fell silent. Ryan then looked at Lin Xian and said, "Lin, I have the best submarine mechanical team here, experienced, perhaps increasing the success rate a bit?"

"It should be possible," Lin Xian replied.

"Lin Xian," at this moment, Chen Sixuan also spoke up: "If we all evacuate with the submarine, what about the Infinity?"

Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan: "I never said we’re all evacuating with the submarine..."

"Huh?" Chen Sixuan frowned slightly: "Then we..."

"We’ll take the train into the sea!" Lin Xian said directly.

With these words, not only the Hawk Sea Group but also the people from the Infinity were all taken aback.

"What!? You’re going to drive a train into the deep sea?!!" Vanessa’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"That’s a death sentence!" Erica exclaimed in shock: "A train, how could it possibly..."

Meanwhile, the people on the Infinity, although they knew the Infinity had undergone deep diving device modifications, never expected that for such an ultra-deep sea escape, Lin Xian was preparing to drive this heavy train into the deep sea.

"I thought you intended to use the Sky Dome Train," Monica crossed her arms, also a bit puzzled.

Lin Xian shook his head, gave a bitter smile, and said: "I wish I could, but under the current circumstances, it seems unusable."

"Why?!" Sha Sha looked surprised: "Even with the big spaceship, we can’t use it?"

"Silly you." KIKI floated over to Lin Xian’s side, speaking to Sha Sha: "You mentioned the big spaceship, guess why it’s unusable?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Qin and others immediately looked up to observe their surroundings, while Qian Deli, realizing the situation, said helplessly,

"The Deep Water Port’s space and the underwater channels are too narrow; the Sky Dome Train can’t pass through?"

Lin Xian nodded, looked overhead, and said: "Right, unless it’s outside, which is now impossible."

The underwater channels of the Deep Water Port were specifically built for submarines by the original military base. Giant floating devices like the Sky Dome Level couldn’t get through. Even bringing out this behemoth from the Black Star Forge in the Deep Water Port was a struggle, let alone boarding it. Technically speaking, there was one way, which was for everyone to enter the deep water with power armor first, and after Lin brought out the Sky Dome Train in the water, board it later. But this plan was too foolish. Comparatively, directly using the modified Infinity was more straightforward.

Moreover, there was another reason: the Sky Dome Level’s arsenal ship hadn’t been completed yet. This unfinished starship was far less reliable than the Infinity.

As they seriously discussed the train’s dive plan, the Hawk Sea Group members looked at each other in dismay.
