Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 923 - 378: Infinite Recruitment Plan

"Simple?"

Lin Xian looked at the dark, hollow tunnel ahead as the rapid subway train sped by and said, "Did you imagine my mechanical superpower to be too magical?"

Jian Xuwei said, "The main control core of Dawn City is an iteration of the earliest AI control, Heart of the Galaxy. Its computing power is second only to Phoenix City and Mochizuki Masashi. Such a core is undoubtedly heavily protected within the Star City Dungeon, with extensive subsystems and cooling systems. To control it means facing the Federation’s most elite armed forces."

"Yet you say it’s simple."

"Relatively speaking," Jian Xuwei said calmly, "At least for you, many mechanical defenses can be ignored."

"But we can’t just fight our way in directly, can we?" KIKI walked over at this point, then looked at Lin Xian and said, "There’s one thing I’ve always wondered: The Phoenix Society wants you to control the central core, but to what extent exactly?"

"Based on the analysis, it certainly won’t be temporary control."

Qian Deli said, "The Phoenix Society wants to dismantle Dawn City’s defensive powers, which requires a process. I’m puzzled; even if you control the core, what comes next? The Federation isn’t stupid; the moment the alarm sounds, you’ll be a prisoner in under five minutes."

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes and said, "Once inside the city, there will be people to meet us. This operation isn’t just us moving forward alone. If I’m not mistaken, Silent City, Zen Gate, Qingbo, Heavenly Guard, Yongcheng Port are all making moves. What the Phoenix Society is actually trying to do is prevent certain people within Dawn City from being driven to desperation and turning on their allies."

"Zhou Mingyuan?"

"Not just him," KIKI said. "Isn’t it said that the Deep Red World might be lurking inside Dawn City?"

"Yes."

Jian Xuwei nodded. "That’s why we need to move cautiously."

"What about your Silver Star?" Lin Xian looked at her and said, "At this time, if you move Silver Star, the Federation will definitely know it’s you in action."

"Don’t worry, Silver Star is just a vehicle. As long as my people are safe, it doesn’t affect our main goal of entering the city," Jian Xuwei said calmly.

Lin Xian opened his mouth, thinking, this woman really sees things clearly. The Eternal Level Silver Star can be said to be the most sci-fi train vehicle Lin Xian has seen other than the Sky Dome Train. Seems like they really are wealthy, though Jian Xuwei has already worked with Lin Xian, joining the Sky Dome Interstellar Train; in terms of doomsday vehicle, they do have assurance.

Swish, swish.

The shuttle train sped rapidly, and after a few minutes, this small rail train exited a secret segment and slowly stopped into a backup maintenance section.

"Here we are. Ahead is the main track. Right now, Dawn City doesn’t allow underground transport, which has been completely sealed off. But we dug a hole to get out from the platform." The driver was a sharp-eyed young man named Ke Zai, sent by Jian Zeyang as a guide. He shut off the train engine and opened the carriage door: "Jian Team, Captain Lin, I’ll lead you out."

"Okay."

Following that, the group stepped onto the chilly, dark platform, walking forward along the road-edge maintenance corridor. The flashlight beam illuminated the walls, transitioning from narrow to broad, a musty odor flooding into their noses.

After walking for a while, overturned subway carriages appeared in the massive tunnel, layers of rusty cars piling up, mixed with heaps of metal debris, gradually blocking the tunnel entirely.

Lin Xian jumped onto the top of an oil tanker, using his flashlight to shine into the distance, spotting a mass of metal debris completely sealing off the front. The innermost areas seemed encased in rebar, concrete, and steel frames, welding the tunnels shut.

"Dawn City’s underground traffic is extremely developed, but Abnormal Bodies often appear in the dark areas. The Federation sealed all underground tunnel systems long ago, using meter-thick high-strength concrete and prefabricated armor plates, sealing them tightly." Ke Zai walked to a hidden corner, moved aside a metal sign, and the passage reverberated loudly with hissing sounds. Underneath the sign was an abandoned fridge, and he opened it, revealing a passage wide enough for a person to pass through!

Seeing the passage behind the fridge, KIKI’s eyes lit up: "Wow, that’s pretty hidden!"

Ke Zai chuckled, "We didn’t build it initially, but now it’s an exclusive passage for our alliance."

Speaking, he nimbly crawled in, Lin Xian and the others followed, discovering it was a passage opened from more metal debris, winding along cabinets and doors, turning multiple times, until a gray concrete wall appeared ahead, marking their escape from the debris pile.

Inside the wall was a small hole, dark enough for a person to slip through.

"How was such a thick defense wall pierced with a hole?" Qian Deli glanced at it and frowned.

"For low-level Abnormal Bodies and zombies, it’s difficult, but for humans, it’s not bothersome," Ning Jing said. "Superpowers, robots, anything will do; even ordinary automation tools can, given time."

"True," Lin Xian said. "If Abnormal Bodies learned about human actions, things would become even more troublesome for us."

During the conversation, Ke Zai led them out from the low tunnel. Once outside, the interior of the tunnel was covered with a large area of iron mesh. He motioned for them to stay put, then picked up a communicator.
