Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 915 - 375: Cruel Truth (Part 3)

"I know this sounds disheartening to you." Ye Lan’s face was calm: "When we intercepted these Dark Erosion Cells, we were already prepared for the worst."

"Prepared for what?" Lin Xian asked.

"Welcoming disaster."

"This might be the eve of humanity’s civilization extinction, but as long as someone is still alive, Phoenix Society must stand up. You understand our guidelines," Ye Lan spoke to the void, yet it felt as if she saw Lin Xian’s fear at that moment. Her tone was calm, her words pessimistic, yet carried a determined decisiveness.

"Stand up. Do we still have a chance?" Lin Xian sighed.

"Captain Lin, the world isn’t going to get any worse," Ye Lan said at that moment: "Since Apocalypse Day arrived, even though we have less and less time, everything is progressing upward. Whether it’s the survival rate of survivors or the methods we developed to cope. Even though we haven’t seen the light yet, if we just believe that dawn will eventually come, then the flame of humanity’s resistance will not extinguish."

"Even if the whole world has only 9 months left, or wait for that damned Deep Red World to offer their minds to Dark Creatures, and then wait for us to gather at the Polar, let them come hunt us down!" Whether out of anger or helplessness, Lin Xian’s emotions were losing control; he shouted loudly but forgot that the sound only Chu Yan could hear.

Chu Yan quietly looked at Lin Xian, then turned back to Ye Lan with a somewhat complex gaze.

"That means we have 9 months to invest in building the Starship, 9 months to perfect the breakthrough of the Heavenly Veil, 9 months to keep more people alive," Ye Lan spoke narratively: "Nothing is over, right?"

Lin Xian’s face was gloomy, he vaguely guessed the purpose of Phoenix at the beginning, but what he never expected was that this purpose was accompanied by an incredibly sad yet inevitable development direction.

After a long time, he exhaled deeply and spoke.

"I will join your plan and start acting immediately."

"Thank you very much."

...

Not sure if it was due to excessive energy consumption, after communicating with Ye Lan, the connection between Lin Xian and Chu Yan’s consciousness did not end, so after seeking consent, Chu Yan took Lin Xian to the high tower of the Heavenly Calming Ship’s deck.

The sunset glow was approaching, looking south from Qingbo City, one could faintly see the looming Double Star Tower of Dawn City and the black city wall.

"White Night Blade? What is this organization?"

Lin Xian asked.

"A small secret organization jointly established by Phoenix Society and the North American United Front, because I am currently the only discovered Spiritual Ability User, mainly engaged in intelligence gathering and Star Abyss exploration," Chu Yan calmly answered.

"Entering Star Abyss with such high dark invasion concentration, can you withstand it?"

"I am immune to dark invasion, not entirely, but my resistance is higher than everyone else because dark invasion mainly targets the infection of spiritual will. Yet, I am an ability user in this aspect, which is why Deep Red World keeps researching on my clones."

Lin Xian looked at her in amazement: "No wonder they want to use your image, turns out you are their precious treasure!"

He finally realized that Chu Yan’s abilities were simply heaven-defying, no wonder Deep Red World regards her as an important target. To the Descent Faction who wants to deify themselves, Chu Yan is undoubtedly an important treasure trove.

"Unfortunately, clones do not possess abilities, but they seem not to have given up."

"Why?"

"I don’t know," Chu Yan turned to Lin Xian: "I want to ask you a question. What is your view on Chu Zhaonan’s Vanguard Plan?"

Lin Xian was somewhat surprised why Chu Yan would ask such a question, he sighed helplessly with a smile: "What view do I have? Yes, he is noble; he is the ultimate practitioner of reason conquering humanity, sacrificing the remaining humans to complete the great civilization salvation, save the civilization’s seed. Unfortunately, I’m just a mere commoner, standing in Chu Zhaonan’s shoes? Sorry, I’ve never been Federation Chairman, never experienced what he’s been through, so I can’t empathize, can’t be so cold, regardless of cost."

As he said this, he looked towards the sky with a helpless smile: "I really wish I didn’t know about this, so even if I face the despair of apocalypse before dying, I would still have the will to fight."

"Professor Ye knew you would be greatly impacted, Yu Bei, Xilan, you have strived to this point with burning determination, but now we need your Mechanical Superpower assistance, so we had to truthfully inform you of the situation," Chu Yan said blandly.

"I know," Lin Xian nodded.

"But what Professor Ye said is quite right, it’s not the end yet. Look on the bright side, if Chu Zhaonan succeeds, at least we would have hope of breaking through the Heavenly Veil, right?"

Chu Yan sternly said: "If mycelium connects with S-Class..."

"I know, I know, just let me pretend to be optimistic a bit, don’t you want me to have fighting spirit?"

Chu Yan smiled slightly but remained silent.

Lin Xian felt a bit dizzy, knowing that nightfall was about to descend and he was about to awaken, but since he agreed to action with Phoenix Society, he must seize the time, which means Lin Xian must hurry overnight to Dawn City.

"Let me ask you a question."

"Go ahead."

"Did you only find me?" Lin Xian smiled: "In a city of millions like Dawn City, won’t you tell me that Phoenix Society and the North American United Front are counting on my actions?"

"You really consider yourself a Savior?"

Chu Yan looked at him, her face calm: "Part of Deep Red World has moved from Jin Hai into Zen Gate; we suspect some may be inside Dawn City. To clean them up requires Thunder measures, as well as taking over Dawn City. Even without Chu Zhaonan, there’s still Zhou Mingyuan’s ruling group, and Lu Tianye’s garrison. Amongst hundreds of millions of people, convoys, alliances, forces, black market, a complex web, what Phoenix Society plans to do is only the tip of the iceberg for you."

Lin Xian exclaimed: "Oh right, your North American United Front is here too, where are they located?"

Chu Yan gave him a slight smile with her eyes, but did not turn her head.

"When you enter Dawn City, go to Dali Travel Association, my people will contact you. By the way... keep your identity hidden."

...

Jin Hai, Ring Star Train Factory, Infinity No.1 Carriage.

The time had reached 19:00, and the sky was already shrouded by the Dark Tide of Star Abyss. Strange sounds abound on the streets of Jin Hai City; Lin Xian sat on the bed, staring at his hands in daze.

"All going to action together, what’s the harm in telling me more... this woman."

"Forget it, since I’ve sided with Phoenix Society, it’s time to use my Mechanical Superpower. Professor Ye—oh no, Commander Ye," Lin Xian stood and stretched lazily: "You let me take over the Intelligent Brain and automated weapon systems of Dawn City."

"But didn’t say you’d get them back..."
