Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 892 - 369: Finger Group
"To think they’re actually using the resources of the Fen Ge Group to build the Sky Dome Train. Then I discovered that this project was proposed by Linglong Group’s Wen Hui."
"Huh? Didn’t the Linglong Group say they were the ones investing and building this train? Turns out it’s you guys doing the construction." KIKI looked perplexed.
"The Linglong Group is the main partner in the Federation Underground City’s plan and also manages large-scale maritime trade, with abundant resources. They formed a close alliance with the Federation, and later Zhou Mingyuan handed over the Sky Dome Train project to Wen Dong. However, when I received the construction plan, I found that for the Federation, this is just a political project. It claims to be an interstellar train capable of carrying one million people, which would require at least 1000 standard Sky Dome carriages. Keep in mind, these aren’t ordinary carriages; each Sky Dome carriage meets interstellar navigation standards. With the Federation’s current productivity, it would take them 20 years to complete," Jian Xuwei said.
"But with such a plan, hasn’t Dawn City gotten one step closer to becoming the light of humanity?" Lin Xian said calmly.
"Yes."
Lin Xian looked up at the enormous Abnormal Body Reproduction Armor, fanned away the strong disinfectant smell with his hand, and frowned as he said,
"So, you’re working with the Federation while looking for opportunities and investigating the Deep Red World?"
"I have no choice." Jian Xuwei looked at Lin Xian with interest: "But you, working with Mochizuki Masashi, are making such a big move. You must have strategized with the Phoenix Society’s Heavenly Calming Ship in advance."
Lin Xian chuckled bitterly, "We’re purely doing this for self-preservation, and it has nothing to do with the Phoenix Society."
Upon hearing this, Jian Xuwei’s expression changed: "You... weren’t in contact with the Phoenix Society?"
"No." Chen Sixuan spoke up, "From the moment Silent City emerged from the Star Abyss, Zhou Mingyuan had his sights on us. When you and Zhou Mingyuan, Wen Dong came to Silent City, we weren’t prepared at all."
Jian Xuwei looked at Lin Xian with a complex expression, paused, and then said,
"Isn’t that odd? Such a coincidence?"
"It’s certainly possible," Shi Deyuan said. "Originally colluding with the Deep Red World, the Federation has already solidified its anti-human image. I suspect they fear the Phoenix Society wants to depose them completely and seize control of Dawn City. Now, with Silent City on the left and Yongcheng Port’s 83 Iron Guard Brigade on the right, it looks like a pincer movement surrounding them. So they’re forced to consolidate all their fleets and resources, or else we’d take advantage of them."
"I think so too," Monica stepped forward and said, "They’re so nervous now. They might think this is all a scheme orchestrated by the Phoenix Society’s Commander."
"That makes some sense," Qian Deli nodded in agreement.
Jian Xuwei nodded in acknowledgment and said, "Alright, that seems to be the only explanation."
Lin Xian looked at Jian Xuwei, his speech carrying a hint of surprise. In Silent City, he and Mochizuki Masashi speculated that Jian Xuwei might have arranged with the Phoenix Society to take over the train factory. Ironically, both sides are members of the Red Phoenix Order, yet neither communicated with the Phoenix Society in advance. Given how tense things are in Dawn City now, Shi Deyuan’s speculation seems the most plausible explanation.
However, Lin Xian dislikes coincidences, especially when they’re now facing both the Federation Dawn City and the Deep Red World—these are no Akse’s bumbling sand bandits. If it can’t be explained, Lin Xian is more inclined to believe that Dawn City may have other moves, and perhaps the Phoenix Society’s visit this time is not just due to the Star Abyss Movement.
"I have a question," Chen Sixuan asked Jian Xuwei, "Is it true that Dawn City claims the purification of drinking water from the Dark Invasion has reached 95%?"
At this, everyone turned to look at Jian Xuwei.
"Yes," Jian Xuwei said directly.
"What?!" KIKI exclaimed in shock, "Is it true?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Everyone looked puzzled. So far, even with the combined efforts of the Phoenix Society’s millions, the European Storm Alliance, and the North American United Front along with the Dawn Center, they’ve only reached 18%.
"Could it be related to the Deep Red World?" Ning Jing asked.
Unexpectedly, Jian Xuwei shook her head, looked at them, and said calmly,
"Initially, I was curious too because the Inner City District and the Underground City truly have a 95% level of pure water supply. Although it’s expensive, the entire city more or less has access to this water. Even people in the Old District can drink some, and many have come to believe that Dawn City genuinely possesses this technology. But I quickly discovered that things are not as they seem."
Jian Xuwei explained, "It’s quite simple, really, because Dawn City has the best city pipeline system in the world."
Lin Xian furrowed his brow, "What do you mean?"
"What she means is that this 95% pure water is actually just water filtered of human toxins," Monica’s voice suddenly rang out among the crowd.
Their expressions changed at her words.
"Ah? So... this drinking water is made this way?" KIKI rolled her eyes.
"That’s right." Jian Xuwei glanced at Monica and continued, "Dawn City has a population of nearly 7 million. Even if stored pure water is well-protected, it still gets contaminated by the Dark Invasion, with concentration levels increasing over time. However, the human body can filter out these toxins. So as long as the entire city’s sewage is filtered through the sewage treatment plant, it turns into 95% pure water, which is then sold at high prices."
Lin Xian was dumbfounded, feeling countless expletives racing through his mind. A human filter? That’s practically marketing genius.
