Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 917 - 376: Operation Begins (Part 2)
"What will happen?" Chen Sixuan asked.
"Isn’t it obvious? Haven’t we encountered this in Yijin before?" KIKI floated in the air, arms crossed, speaking with a serious expression.
"But this is just speculation; it may not necessarily happen." Ning Jing stood among the crowd and said, "What I mean is, if the Star Abyss or Abnormal Body were to cause an upheaval or extreme change, it would have already happened by now."
"I appreciate your optimism, Miss Ning, but I must say something a bit discouraging." Qian Suxun operated something continuously on a computer, then opened a holographic projection chart and said, "Since Apocalypse Day, changes in the Star Abyss have been irregular. Based on detailed observation data from the Phoenix Society and our investigations in Silent City, just within over a hundred days, there have been over 3000 changes in only 6 Star Abysses on the Asia-Pacific Continent. Most are minor changes, but this proves our understanding and observation of the Star Abyss are inaccurate. The anomaly in Star Abyss No.5 was artificially induced, accelerating the progress of global Extreme Night. Why wouldn’t you think the Star Abyss could become even more extreme?"
"Indeed, various experiments and conclusions have already proven that darkness is also ’adapting’ to this process of destroying us. The evolution of the Abnormal Body, hunting human settlements, and dark hunts all indicate that this threat is not static but responds to humans and humanity’s own actions." Ding Junyi explained indifferently with hands in pockets, "Extending cosmic theory and the Fermi Paradox, ’silence’ is the best survival strategy between civilizations. Perhaps humanity has survived by 1% due to this asymmetry in intent. So once communication with the dark is opened, things must develop in a worse direction."
"Damn it, I thought Dawn City colluding with the Deep Red World was prepared to struggle against Phoenix Society, playing territory politics for benefits. I didn’t expect this?" Shi Deyuan cursed, looking incredulous.
"This doesn’t conflict."
Jian Xuwei said at this moment, "Whether it’s the Original Federation or current Dawn City, factions have always been entrenched. The apocalypse just changed the stance and disintegration of survival beliefs among them. The Federation can’t be seen entirely as an interest group. For example, the faction led by Zhou Mingyuan, where high-pressure policies and interest networks of Dawn City generally have his influence. It can be said Dawn City is actually in Zhou Mingyuan’s hands. During my time in Dawn City, rarely did Chu Zhaonan appear, but the main fleet, scientific department, and Blazing Angel Department are all under Chu Zhaonan’s control. It’s very likely this Vanguard Plan is merely a plan from Chu Zhaonan’s faction."
Lin Xian looked at Mochizuki Masashi who had his eyes closed beside him: "What do you think?"
Mochizuki Masashi slowly opened his eyes at this moment, calmly saying, "Ye Lan is right. To stop the Deep Red World from using Fungal Technology on Dark Erosion Cells is impossible. Phoenix Society came with this worst-case scenario in mind. From this perspective, Ye Lan is indeed a pessimist but also a wise and decisive leader."
"That’s not what I was asking." Lin Xian said, "I meant regarding the Vanguard Plan breaking through the Heavenly Veil, and if communication occurs between fungal and dark creatures, how bad could it be?"
"I think you’ve asked the wrong question." Mochizuki Masashi looked at Lin Xian, "Shouldn’t you ask, when might these two events happen, the Vanguard Plan and communication with Dark Erosion Cells?"
With this, everyone turned their gaze towards the two.
Lin Xian paused upon hearing this, instantly grasping Mochizuki Masashi’s implication: "You mean, they are bound to happen simultaneously, or even Dawn City might pressure the Deep Red World not to activate the Dark Erosion Cells early?!"
"Bingo!" Mochizuki Masashi smiled lightly.
"Therefore, I believe the Phoenix Society let you assist in controlling the defense system’s core in Dawn City because they feel the Deep Red World is deeply collaborating with this Vanguard Plan."
"The Phoenix Society is not only worried about Zhou Mingyuan but also concerned Dawn City may fall into hands of the Deep Red World." Lin Xian sighed deeply, "Looks like Phoenix Society definitely has more precise intelligence; this matter is far graver than we all imagined."
"So the Iron Guard Brigade at Yongcheng Port has already been deployed." Mochizuki Masashi said.
"Besides, Phoenix Society must have mobilized other forces." Chen Sixuan frowned at this moment, "A few hundred people in Dawn City, if problems arose, a single Iron Guard Brigade wouldn’t be able to hold."
Lin Xian shook his head: "Phoenix Society doesn’t intend to defend; they plan to relocate all of them. Now Star Abyss 578 is closing in, Dawn City doesn’t have much time left."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Phoenix Society’s Postman has already arrived in Silent City." Mochizuki Masashi said at this moment, "I have to go meet them now. I know what they’re looking for me about."
"What is it?"
Mochizuki Masashi said while stepping away: "My Silent City can accommodate 500,000 people."
"Hey..."
Lin Xian was speechless for a moment. He was preparing to rush to Dawn City overnight, hoping to get a transport ship from Mochizuki Masashi, but this guy just walked away.
Who would have thought, shortly after Mochizuki Masashi and Qian Suxun left, a crisp knocking sound suddenly came from outside the mechanical doors of the main bridge. Lin Xian was puzzled as to why someone would knock on such mechanical gateways, then the screen beside the automatic door showed a timid figure. Lin Xian took a look and found it was Shi Zhi.
