Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1051 - 401: Planet Titan
Dawn City, north of Qingbo, the grand convoy of survivors proceeds along the roads and rail tracks towards Jinhe and Tian Ji.
Under the sunlight, the convoy of millions moves in an earth-shaking manner, raising clouds of dust and flowing slowly yet orderly towards the horizon. This is not an escape, but a well-prepared migration.
Various vehicles are packed with people, and the pickup truck beds loaded with folding tents, buckets, solar panels, and other supplies, the cabin crammed with a family of four, the man driving with one hand on the steering wheel while the other holds a half-smoked cigarette, the ashes drifting in the wind like tiny snowflakes.
At the back of a modified off-road vehicle hangs a basket made of iron sheets and old clothes, where a golden retriever lies alert, its tongue lolling as it has long grown accustomed to traveling through the dust, watching the flow of strange modified vehicles along the way.
Some large trucks are modified with all-terrain treads, roaring along and crushing layers of tread marks into the ground. Along the way, there are supply vehicles with Phoenix Society holographic lights and drones accompanying the convoy, accessible via split-frequency communication to connect to the staff above for medical or emergency rescue. All obtained Blood Essence can be exchanged for new Blood Essence Coins here at the Phoenix Society or stored in special identification cards for purchasing or trading supplies. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
After a fierce battle, the 83 Iron Guard Brigade proceeds in a mechanized march, stretching out a marching line several kilometers long at the rear of the convoy. In the sky, low-flying fleets and the Heavenly Calming Ship slowly pass over the convoy, casting large shadows that obscure the sunlight.
In a special medical cabin, Chu Yan slowly opens her eyes to a dim light, then sees multiple medical lines connected to her head and chest, with medical instruments beside the bed emitting a low pulse sound of the heart rate.
After being in a coma for ten days in a near-death state, Chu Yan finally wakes up. This time she appears in Lin Xian’s consciousness, but this has been happening in recent days, and it was from Lin Xian’s side that this was understood, allowing Xu Zhenyue and Ye Lan to finally be at ease.
Upon waking, as Lin Xian had mentioned, Chu Yan discovers significant changes around her. She does not see her previous task group; instead, a Nightwalker Squad has been assigned to protect her safety.
"Chu Yan."
In the office, Ye Lan, with gray-white hair and wearing reading glasses, is attentively looking through several documents, saying to Chu Yan who has entered the office, "Welcome back to the team."
"Do I not need to execute any tasks now?" Chu Yan asked.
Ye Lan shook his head, "After conquering Dark Energy conversion technology, all departments of the Nightwalkers can undertake Star Abyss exploration tasks. Although there remain numerous unknowns and technology issues related to communication and Cold Dark Particles, the overall survival rate has greatly increased."
Putting down the documents, he looked at Chu Yan, "You and Lin Xian are the only two on Blue Star who can communicate with South Heavenly Gate. This defense platform is our crucial weapon before breaking through Dark Energy nuclear fusion combination technology, and even... "
"I have told Lin Xian too, unless it’s absolutely necessary, I hope he refrains from easily utilizing South Heavenly Gate’s assault."
Chu Yan took a deep breath, "I understand, it was after the corpse chaser expended massive amounts of Gray Mist Messenger and full military force, combined with Synergy Tower restricting its Dark Energy recovery, that South Heavenly Gate found the opportunity for a decisive kill."
Ye Lan nodded, "Lin Xian is a very smart person, he is aware of it too. The current most destructive weapon mankind has, besides biochemical ones, is only the thermonuclear and high-energy constraints, but Kaidel’s action has shown us that even a 60 megaton TNT equivalent thermonuclear weapon cannot eradicate the dominant creatures within Star Abyss, perhaps this is not merely a weapon issue."
Chu Yan remained silent, resonating with Lin Xian’s idea, both aiming to transcend the current human technology to confront this, which is certainly feasible. Yet, from Chu Yan’s perspective, if it weren’t for Lin Xian’s mention of the potential growth of Mechanical superpower, it’s hard to imagine mankind breaking through the barriers of physics in a short period.
Ye Lan seemingly noticed Chu Yan’s puzzle, directly speaking, "I know your worries, Chu Yan. Your thoughts are correct. The Emperor Plan is the current technological limit over a short period, but the research on Blood and Flesh Armor in the Deep Red World has provided us significant insight. It also includes issues with the energy potential wells within Star Abyss and the special Defense Force Field of Dark Creatures, which are the primary directions we are learning and tackling..."
"Do we need to study the abilities of Star Abyss creatures?" Chu Yan asked.
"Not only that." Ye Lan removed his glasses and wiped them, "S-Class, corpse chaser, Abyss Demon, and the currently discovered World-level Disasters numbered 1 to 7; we must prepare to probe and study these entities, for instance, the Siberian 1 Star Abyss’s 01 number giant crust parasitic organism [Planet Devourer], as well as the number 03 you tracked and investigated from Congjiang City before..."
"Floating Giant Corpse."
Chu Yan frowned slightly, "Since we discovered the Floating Giant Corpse, no biological fluctuations or signs of awakening have been observed on it. This object has always been flying eastward at an altitude of about 3,000 meters, surrounded by massive Dark Energy radiation invasion and chaotic Spatial Force Fields. Even the most elite Superpower Users find it difficult to approach for reconnaissance."
