Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 914 - 375: Cruel Truth (Part 2)

"Gone?" Lin Xian’s head buzzed at the words, and he immediately reacted, standing up with a start.

"Do you mean to say that the S-Class Abnormal Body can pass through the Skyveil Curtain?!"

Chu Yan, sitting nearby, glanced at Lin Xian, as if to say there was no need for excitement, since Professor Ye wouldn’t see him standing up.

Feeling Chu Yan’s gaze, Lin Xian sat back down and continued, "Or are you saying all S-Class enter from beyond the Skyveil Curtain?"

This guess was not without foundation. The sky was dangerous because a great terror lurked within the clouds, and combining that with what Ye Lan just said, it was indeed very possible.

Ye Lan, hearing Chu Yan’s conveyed words, patiently said,

"Since the Qingluan Sky City incident, we put forth such a hypothesis. If the S-Class Abnormal Body can pass through the Skyveil Curtain, it suggests the barrier above the Karman Line is likely some kind of hyperspace technology or biological force field."

"I understand." Lin Xian immediately thought of something. "Recently, Dawn City killed an S-Class creature, so you’re suspecting they’re preparing to use the biological remnant to breach the Curtain?!"

Ye Lan shook her head, "The Phoenix Society conducted related experiments a long time ago. We used S-Class remnants for space device deployment, but none were successful, including the biological remnant of the Cloud Black Thorn you exterminated in Xilan City."

"Then why is that?" Lin Xian felt a bit confused.

Thunk~

At this moment, Chu Yan flipped a switch, and a small cylindrical frozen chamber slowly rose from the center of the conference table. Inside was a transparent petri dish, and as Lin Xian looked over, he was shocked to see that it held a piece of Dark Erosion Cell!

"Many of the Deep Red World’s actions are under our surveillance," Chu Yan said to Lin Xian. "Regarding Star Abyss and the Deep Red World, the Phoenix Society actually knows more than you. Remember the Gray Fog Strange Body remnant you saw with me? This cell is active tissue extracted by the Deep Red World from its ’action brain,’ later urgently sent to the Star Abyss White City Research Institute No. 5 for heterotopic cultivation. So we suspect Dawn City is preparing to use this to traverse the Curtain."

Hearing this, Lin Xian couldn’t help but ask, "Such a small piece of tissue, how are they going to take an interstellar fleet and escape?"

"We aren’t sure about that. The Deep Red World acquired this tissue first, and their research methods are brutally excessive. Obtaining active tissue was already a big step forward, and they very likely already possess this technology," Chu Yan said.

"I don’t understand. If humanity has such a plan... isn’t that a good thing?" Lin Xian’s expression was complex. "I mean, we can temporarily overlook whether the research came from the Deep Red World, as long as we can resolve the human crisis, we can utilize it. Or do you mean you hope to use my strength to acquire this technology from the Deep Red World?"

"No."

Ye Lan’s expression turned serious. "Our concern isn’t about that. After acquiring Dark Erosion Cells, the Phoenix Society made numerous discoveries. The current issue is that we’re worried about the Deep Red World or Dawn City connecting these cells through fungal connections. If they do so, it’s akin to opening Pandora’s box, as this might be a human act of extinction against the dark that could lead to the annihilation of all humanity!"

Lin Xian was startled, a thunderclap resounding in his mind. He suddenly recalled the Heavenly Mushroom Tower riot when Tang Yun had returned to the Fungus Survival Pod in Yijin City, and simultaneously, he remembered the words Ding Junyi had once told him hours ago.

"This is what I’m curious about too. Through my research, I’ve discovered that this cell possesses a form completely different from Blue Star organisms. The most crucial aspect is that it can absorb dark invasions without being affected. The only issue is that the Deep Red World maintains its activity by embedding it in a piece of living human flesh; otherwise, it can’t be taken from Star Abyss, so I believe this might truly be..."

"The real Dark Creature!"

If the S-Class is truly a Dark Creature, then connecting it through fungal threads would essentially open a channel between humanity and the dark. Lin Xian could scarcely imagine the terrifying events that might unfold.

Ye Lan spoke solemnly at this moment,

"The Phoenix Society is here for two purposes. First, to clear out the Deep Red World Descent Faction group led by Julius and Zhou Mingyuan. Second, to take over Dawn City. Regardless of whether or not Chu Zhaonan’s Vanguard Plan succeeds, we are responsible for completing the final evacuation of these millions of people. Therefore, I need your Mechanical superpower to collaborate with Chu Yan’s White Night Blade team to enter Dawn City. Before it gets completely out of control, control the intelligent brain and automated defense weapon hub in Dawn City to prevent anyone from seizing survivors or launching attacks against humanity, thereby preemptively controlling disaster and harm."

"Wait, can’t we stop this from happening?" Lin Xian’s tone was somewhat heavy. "I mean, the Vanguard Plan might relate to the Dark Erosion Cell technology, but the fungal connection aspect, perhaps..."

Lin Xian tried to sort out his thoughts but found it amusing. The more he interacted with the Deep Red World, the more he realized this behavior could easily lead to human extinction. To those madmen, it posed no difficulty or burden. Besides, the Dark Erosion Cells were initially discovered by the Deep Red World, and the fungal utilization is the main research focus of the Deep Red World now. He couldn’t think of how to stop this fanatic Descent Faction from opening Pandora’s box.
