Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 912 - 374: Missing for 4 Months

"We are missing 4 months of time?!"

Lin Xian was stunned: "What exactly is Dawn City plotting?"

"That is exactly what we are worried about." Ye Lan said seriously to Lin Xian. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"From the day of publication, Dawn City should have contacted the Extreme Night Zone of Star Abyss No. 5 in 72 days, and then would be engulfed by Star Abyss No. 7 and No. 8 in 189 and 168 days respectively, but 40 days have passed, and due to the change caused by Star Abyss No. 5, as of today, the time for these three Star Abysses to engulf Dawn City has changed to 41 days, 62 days, and 48 days."

"You mean they gained 9 days from Star Abyss No. 5, but because of these 9 days, Star Abyss No. 7 and No. 8 accelerated by 120 days?!" Lin Xian immediately said.

"Yes."

"What is the use of 9 days?" Lin Xian’s expression was stiff, with a trace of anger in his tone.

"For Chu Zhaonan, even gaining one more day, one more hour, is meaningful." Ye Lan replied calmly.

Lin Xian struggled to understand: "Just so that Dawn City can live one more hour?"

"No, you misunderstand."

"He did this not for Dawn City, nor for his own power seat as the Federation Chairman, nor for personal survival either."

Ye Lan looked at Lin Xian: "Perhaps your views on the Federation and Dawn City differ greatly from this conclusion, but I can truthfully tell you, from the perspective of this Federation Chairman, it is for... the entirety of human civilization!"

Lin Xian was speechless.

"The collapse of the Federation is not merely an issue of ideology or political interest as people believe. Of course, I must admit that these are present, but the greatest divergence comes from the judgment of the apocalypse."

Ye Lan, at this moment, looked in the direction of Lin Xian and said slowly: "Since Apocalypse Day, 85% of cities and regions globally disappeared overnight, and the Federation Interstellar Army, along with all global organizational forces, lost control. Extreme Night did not give us any time to react or prepare. The mutations occurred in every country, region, city, and even every family, and all order was lost, as if we returned to primitive times. Everything we have now was rebuilt after the first Extreme Night, including the paralyzed Interstellar Army. But after the first Extreme Night, the Heavenly Veil appeared, and we completely lost satellite and communication networks, and at the same time, we lost the sky..."

"Even now, as the Commander of the Phoenix Society, I can only despairingly tell you that we have no strategy or direction for completely saving human civilization. Superpower, Cold Dark Reagent, Spirit Vibration Value, Dark Mark, Dark Creatures—these are the knowledge about the darkness that all surviving humans have gained through sacrifice and effort, but these are just the tip of the iceberg."

"So the Federation’s collapse, the tension between Dawn City and the Phoenix Society, it’s not some Survival Faction versus Salvation Faction. Strictly speaking, aside from the Descent Faction, both we and Dawn City are part of the Salvation Faction. The only difference is in the absolute pessimism versus relative pessimism regarding the continuation of human civilization."

Lin Xian felt indescribably heavy, and said softly: "The Phoenix Society is relatively pessimistic, while Dawn City is absolutely pessimistic?"

"Yes."

"As the Federation Chairman, Chu Zhaonan, the highest ruler of humanity after Apocalypse Day, is most aware of the kinds of power and means humanity employed to fight the darkness. The global nuclear arsenal, biochemical weapons, even provoking geothermal disasters—all were attempted before the Federation collapsed. An Interstellar Army Fleet with the highest tech armor did not last more than 48 hours after entering the Star Abyss. Despair is often not present at the beginning..."

Ye Lan looked calmly at Lin Xian, as if narrating a sad story, her tone restrained, her eyes like the firmament.

"But comes after the resistance."
