Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train
Chapter 1173 - 452: And Then There Were None (Part 2)
Swoosh!
As the Mechanical Energy Cannon was unleashed, Lin Xian’s fingers seemed to be wrapped in some kind of metallic device, with a faint sound of some motor accumulating energy and spinning. Then, a blue energy glow lit up.
However, just as he instinctively prepared to fire, upon seeing the blue flash on his fingers, a thunderous roar exploded in his mind, and he froze for a moment before immediately retracting the Mechanical Energy Cannon.
At this moment, Lin Xian seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.
He looked towards the black hole in front of him and finally realized that the shadow emerging from it was very likely himself!
He reached out his finger to probe closer and then prepared to use the Mechanical Energy Cannon but instantly abandoned the idea. Wasn’t it exactly corresponding to the fleeting moments of the dark ripple, the finger, the face, the blue flash just now?
It turned out that the face filled with terror was his own.
Lin Xian frowned deeply, his heart pounding wildly, what shocked him most was that the actions of the ’opposite’ were exactly those he would take a few seconds later.
In other words, the one in the black hole was himself from a few seconds into the future!
At this moment, Lin Xian glanced at the elongated light and shadow cast upon him, suddenly recalling a science fiction movie he had seen before. It was a film about the 4-dimensional world where time existed as a substance, with the past and the future happening ’simultaneously.’ From this dimension, he could see himself at any period. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
The countdown in Lin Xian’s eyes continued to flow relentlessly.
"This countdown is unaffected."
"So this is the power of the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes flower bud blooming, not just a dimensional bubble, but a dimensional entity?"
Thump, thump.
It sounded as if something was moving. Lin Xian kept thinking, but when he looked at the black hole again, he discovered that it had doubled in size. Besides the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes Cultivation Chamber, it now also devoured Ding Junyi’s hands entirely.
In the black hole, a human figure appeared once more. Lin Xian frowned, he indeed intended to get closer to look, but then realized if he didn’t go to look, would it create a time paradox causing the original timeline to deviate?
No, no, the current issue is how to eliminate this dimensional bubble of the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes, then evade the deep-sea sea monsters and escape through the super vortex array.
At this point, a strange idea suddenly flickered in Lin Xian’s mind.
"But if I can see the timeline develop, could I know in advance if we succeed?"
Thus, he looked at the black hole. The shadow inside still hadn’t disappeared and was getting deeper, like ’waiting’ for something.
Lin Xian furrowed his brows, took a deep breath, and decisively approached. As he neared the black hole, his vision began to change mysteriously. The edge of the black hole flowed like melting oil paint, the once stationary cockpit control panel stretched into spiral-colored ribbons, and the stagnant seawater outside the porthole rippled, as if through a layer of sizzling oil film.
As Lin Xian’s gaze entered the black hole, he astonishingly found that the center of the black hole wasn’t purely black, but revealed countless overlapping silhouettes of train carriages — Chen Sixuan and Xiao Yuan adjusting the Electromagnetic Gun in compartment No. 2, KIKI and Sha Sha laughing together while playing video games, the budding lettuce shoots at Ding Junyi’s fingertips in compartment No. 3, Da Lou and Brother Huo having tea in compartment No. 5. These scenes from different time points jabbed into his vision like shards of glass.
These images were cut into a dense grid pattern, infinitely filling the entire view. Everyone was animatedly engaged, as if life was still continuing, and Infinity was still racing down the zombie-infested tracks.
Seeing these scenes, all suspicions were confirmed, the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes indeed unfolded into a dimensional entity. Lin Xian wanted to find answers and quickly searched through these grid images for the timeline after entering the deep sea. His right hand, reaching for the edge of the black hole, quantum-disintegrated upon touching the boundary, his skin texture dissolved into flickering gray streams of data, his skeletal outlines transformed into nebula-like specks of light, he flowed within time. Soon, he saw the Infinity submerged in water.
Meanwhile, the entire black hole view rapidly expanded. As Lin Xian was about to touch it, the scene was pulled away once more.
Is this view going to disappear?
A thought sprouted in his mind, and Lin Xian promptly found the scene of the Infinity entering the deep sea once again.
Finally, he saw a pitch-black area, where his own figure was enveloped in the dark seawater. The Infinity quietly floated, with time developing in all directions.
Lin Xian was looking rapidly, the core heat device explosion, diving into the deep sea, the undersea cliff whirlpool, surrounded by sea monsters. Lin Xian found that moment, saw his own bewildered actions.
Yet, in these views, time did not freeze. Lin Xian zoomed in on the scene and astonishingly found that at that critical moment, Ding Junyi removed the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes. At the instant the flower bud shattered, a dimensional area vanished into darkness, whereupon Lin Xian looked afar, seeing a new area.
The flower bud explosion, the seafloor as if displacing time and space!
Rumble!!
Beep beep beep beep.
"Lin Xian, our markers have all disappeared!" In the Infinity’s cockpit, Chen Sixuan looked at the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes after the space ripple flickered, immediately saying to Lin Xian.
Lin Xian at this moment gave Chen Sixuan a complex look, glanced around at KIKI, Ding Junyi, Viola, his expression momentarily froze, then immediately shouted
