Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 887 - 368: Train Loading Factory_2
In the main bridge of the Cloud District, voices of discussion arose.
Tonight, the Deep Crimson World didn’t launch any attacks. While Lin Xian partially expected this, he also felt surprised, resulting in a very contradictory situation.
In his view, their ability to restrain the Deep Crimson World must come from the pressure exerted by Dawn City playing both ends against the middle, but given the current situation and Jian Xuwei’s communication, it seems Dawn City has split into two factions. Zhou Mingyuan was within their expectations, unwilling to act rashly against Silent City, even advocating for protection and negotiation with the purpose of easing the internal unrest in the city and minimizing the threat that rumors pose to Federation governance.
Yet the massive evacuation from Jinhai Star Port is baffling, and Lin Xian couldn’t make sense of it; the others were even more confused.
"As far as I know, since Star City was renamed Dawn City establishing the City of Doomsday, Chu Zhaonan has hardly managed any governmental and civic affairs. All his efforts are devoted to the Far Star Plan, and except for the Far Star Fleet, engineering research, Lu Tianye’s Star City Defense Army, and Underground City Defense, all other powers rest with Zhou Mingyuan. So, I’m not sure if Chu Zhaonan has collaborated with the Deep Crimson World, but one thing is certain..."
"Chu Zhaonan is aware." Lin Xian responded, looking at Jian Xuwei on the screen.
Jian Xuwei nodded: "Therefore, I speculate that the arrival of the Phoenix Society, combined with you exposing the collusion between Dawn City and the Deep Crimson World at just the right time, has hit the Federation’s crisis red line, hence this large-scale action, indicating Dawn City will definitely make a significant move next."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions became slightly tense. Lin Xian furrowed his brows and sighed, "The Phoenix Society... It seems we are really lucky."
KIKI looked at him helplessly, "You think Dawn City is going to go all out?"
"That’s very possible!" Shi Deyuan exclaimed loudly, "Otherwise, why would Dawn City be so nervous, giving up on its industrial base?"
"Didn’t entirely give up." Ning Jing said at this moment, "For now, it seems they are only transferring a large amount of resources and completed starships and vehicles. Except for the Star Orbital Train factories which were armed and taken by Miss Jian, there are still guards stationed at the Star Port."
"That’s almost like running away." Qian Deli crossed his arms: "This action has left us dazed; originally we were ready for a big fight, but now we don’t know what to do."
Monica said, "Does this mean Dawn City and the Deep Crimson World don’t consider us important?"
"It seems like that." Chen Sixuan furrowed her brows as well.
Mochizuki Masashi, standing in the distance, spoke loudly, "I actually think that if both Dawn City and the Deep Crimson World aren’t focused on us, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lin Xian.
Lin Xian nodded, agreeing, "You’re right, currently there’s turmoil in Dawn City, and the Phoenix Society comes at this time, which certainly tightens Dawn City’s nerves. As for the Deep Crimson World, well, it doesn’t matter, they’ll make a move sooner or later. If the sky falls, temporarily it’s not our concern, since we have reached Jinhai, precisely..."
He then looked at Jian Xuwei, "Can we borrow your factory to prepare our trains?"
From the control tower, Jian Xuwei looked out at the massive magnetic levitation empty docking area and said to Lin Xian,
"Actually, I have a better plan, but it requires assistance from Silent City."
"Let me guess, is it that Sky Dome level?" Mochizuki Masashi said with interest.
"And other things."
Jian Xuwei’s expression was solemn, "It will definitely open your eyes."
Rumble!
As Silent City descended, a tide of corpses suddenly arose from all sides, and in the night, Abnormal Bodies kept surging out. Yet, around the main deck of Silent City, hundreds of electromagnetic railguns and thousands of sets of self-defensive pulse-level weapons fired in cycles in all directions like a star-destroying warship, powerful enough not even needing armed personnel to eliminate those tidal waves of corpses and scattered minor Abnormal Bodies.
In the berth area on the lower deck, crowds surged, as the United Train Team, after two days of rest, busied themselves again. This time, there were many personnel changes; two train convoys, and the Windwalker and Akse Brotherhood following from Akse, have all joined Silent City, selling their vehicles to other convoys in exchange for resources.
Where Lin Xian and Shi Deyuan stand, the next target for Silent City is to dock at Yongcheng Port for Far Star voyage for construction upgrades, which means they can only choose to restart, enter the Star Orbital, and begin an escape journey.
Regarding those personnel from the two train convoys and others choosing to leave the group, Lin Xian could fully understand.
Many are already weary and desperate from the ongoing escape; a safe mobile city stands before them, so they no longer wish to run, while many residents of Silent City are staunch Digital Life advocates, giving them a subtle difference in cognition and perception of crisis and death compared to others, which makes sense.
Sss, woo~
The giant docking area deck slowly opened, beneath a tide of corpses was the transport reserve track section of Jinhai; they could directly merge into it, then turn into the industrial zone train factory, and thereafter directly enter the Star Orbital.
Lin Xian led the people aboard the Infinity back to the Infinity, engines started, lights dazzling, all personnel in each car remained on high alert, children under Li Yi and others’ care safely returned to the cars. Standing in the cockpit, Chen Sixuan’s expression was complex: "After passing Jinhai and Yongcheng Port is the Pacific Ocean, this should be the last stop for our train’s preparation."
