Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1013 - 394: Gray Mist Messenger
When Dawn City prematurely fell into night, and global radio signals disappeared, in the city command center hall of the European Storm Alliance far away in Reykjavik, the atmosphere was incredibly silent. Outside, in the safe haven city district, there were camps covering the ground for the more than four million survivors there. It was still daytime here, but everyone could feel a dark cloud slowly shrouding the skies over Europe.
In the direction of the Dawn Center at the Tianji Qionggu Strait, hundreds of thousands of different types of doomsday armed vehicles were parked across the strait plains. From base vehicles to off-road vehicles, from rail trains to armed trucks, from aerial carriers to walking groups, nearly eight million homeless survivors were gathered here, including dozens of large convoys each exceeding 50,000 people. The general commander of the Dawn Center, Li Heping, appeared solemn, dressed in a windswept military outfit, his eagle-like eyes sharp. After Ye Lan’s voice came out,
South America Ushuaia’s Phoenix City, North American Alaska United Front, Oceania Noah, and the Republican Sanctuary Islands

[Low temperature and weightlessness environment detected, battle armor life cycle system activated]
A mechanical female voice echoed in his ears, and Lin Xian could almost hear the breathing valve cycling through the Power Armor Mask.
Lin Xian slowly opened his eyes, greeted by an overturned starship cabin space filled with countless fragments, instruments, and cables floating in midair, like an eerie slow-motion silent movie.
An extreme chill rushed in from all directions. Even though Lin Xian was wearing interstellar-level power armor, he immediately felt a powerful dark intrusion not inferior to that inside Star Abyss No.5 impacting his consciousness.
Spiritual power was being distorted madly, consciousness disintegrating, vision blurring, cold and piercing!
Hiss hiss.
The automatic obstacle avoidance systems throughout his power armor constantly emitted subtle jet actions, helping him stably float in place, avoiding collisions with the cabin or sharp metal fragments.
Lin Xian kept panting, adjusting his state. Although he had been prepared, the violent force of the dark intrusion still made his whole body feel as if swallowed by the deep sea. At the same time, this first-time large-scale teleportation gave him an extreme sense of time distortion, as if it wasn’t a spatial teleportation as imagined, but instead being absorbed into a node within some Dark Star Abyss and then swiftly passing through to appear here. Whereas it seemed an instant, he had actually experienced a prolonged process.
He frowned slightly, reached out, and grabbed the Flashing Bullet enclosed by himself within a lead box floating in the air.
"Why is it like there’s an Abnormal Body flashing behind me when night falls..."
Lin Xian tightened his brow, looking at the time with a difficult expression.
17:44
"Two hours, how has it been so long?"
Lin Xian’s head throbbed with pain. He looked up and realized that he was exactly where he and KIKI had infiltrated the Civil Pioneer, in that scientific experiment cabin. But now, the main cabin wall had been torn into a ten-meter-long crack, the edges of the metal twisted and curled as if gnawed by a giant beast. Through the crack, one could see the pitch-black universe—no sound, no temperature, completely dark, like being at the bottom of an abyss.
There was no air or pressure in the cabin anymore, a thin layer of frost had formed on the edge of the crack, the traces of liquid oxygen leaking and instantly freezing in the vacuum.
The body of a young woman wearing glasses and in a lab coat floated by slowly. Her fine face had turned bluish-purple from the cold, her mouth wide open, seemingly still silently screaming. Her hand remained outstretched, as if trying to grab something.
He had seen this face before; it was the woman they encountered while leaving the starship. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Lin Xian quickly turned to the spherical experimental device, activated the propeller, and flew over, sticking to the observation port with a spotlight to look inside. He found the Dark Erosion Cells had already blackened and lost activity, so Lin Xian located the data cable and then utilized the mechanical superpower to prepare to restart the cabin’s circuit and then connect.
But as his Mechanical Heart operated, a peculiar spatial fluctuation arose in the surrounding space, resembling a ripple.
This immediately made Lin Xian cautious. He promptly released Grace and several drones to probe from the direction of the cabin crack and channel, but nothing was found, only the endless dark universe space.
Woo~
As Lin Xian operated the Superstring Reactor Phase Rainbow Ring, part of the cabin’s energy was restarted, and lights flickered on.
"Grace, help me... connect to the starship system," Lin Xian said enduring great pressure.
[Okay]
Grace swiftly adjusted her form, attached to the experimental device, and then her fingers transformed and inserted into the data interface, beginning to access data.
[Our current altitude has exceeded Blue Star’s geostationary orbit altitude. Due to perturbation effects, the orbital parameters are exhibiting drift phenomena.]
"So if we want to return to the atmosphere, we need propulsion devices, right?"
[Yes, according to onboard data, our current altitude is 46,852 KM above ground. To re-enter the atmosphere, we need to initiate a Hohmann transfer from high orbit to descent into low Earth orbit, calculate the velocity increment, and perform at least two decelerations to ensure the correct reentry angle.]
Lin Xian furrowed his brow: "Quickly help me obtain the energy data of the Dark Erosion Cells absorbing the dark intrusion from this device, and also check if there are any survivors or undocked propulsion modules."
[Okay, the acquisition is complete. In addition, an unknown emergency signal from the main bridge was detected, but the module has separated and cannot be accessed.]
