Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 966 - 386: Breaking Curtain Device!_4

"Stop."

Just as they approached the star port passage, one of the leading garrison soldiers raised his hand to stop them. Lin Xian and KIKI immediately halted their steps, and the nervous Shi Zhi accidentally took an extra step, almost bumping into Lin Xian.

Unexpectedly, the garrison soldier’s attention wasn’t on them. Instead, he moved to the rear, took out a detector, and scanned the device, then waved to the three of them.

"Pass."

Phew~

At this point, both KIKI and Shi Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and the three of them smoothly passed through the passage.

"What are they checking? Are they checking their own stuff?"

"They should be checking for unauthorized devices sneaking in, like spy drones, eavesdropping devices, or harmful things," Lin Xian said. "Now that the Federation Parliament has dissolved, internal conflicts will directly erupt, so it’s normal to have such considerations."

At this moment, when Lin Xian and the others emerged from a starship bridge passage, a spectacular scene unfolded before their eyes.

In the evening, the overcast rain of Dawn City seemed to briefly clear at this moment. The sunset’s glory bathed a massive starship port, emerging from the A-17 bridge passage, they were greeted by a colossal ’Constant Star’-level starship, a three-hundred-thousand-ton expedition beast firmly anchored in the starport berth area’s superconducting suspension array, loaded by connecting mechanical arms, with countless material supply mechanical arms injecting various fuels, water resources, and coolants into the starship compartments.

Large cargo conveyors were transporting yellow standard cargo boxes to the carrier racks, which were then lifted by unmanned mechanical arms into the starship’s interior. On the shipboard weapon platform, gamma-ray laser arrays continuously rotated and calibrated, while a cargo shuttle was hoisting the last batch of ecological module into the ship’s belly. The white starship was painted with a special code

[CN-243-Natural Selection]

This, however, was merely one among many at the star port. The entire starport berth area, currently harbored a total of seven starships, six of which were three-hundred-thousand-ton ’Constant Star’-level starships. In the forefront, there was a five-hundred-thousand-ton ’Far Star’-level starship. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Natural Selection seems to be the only one left doing the final cargo hoisting..." KIKI looked at the awe-inspiring fleet and couldn’t help but exclaim.

"The lead ship should be that Far Star-level one!" Lin Xian watched the setting sun and immediately strode towards the Far Star-level starship.

The entire starport berth area was very large. Just as they descended the bridge passage, a massive formation suddenly appeared on a nearby platform, consisting of thousands of people, all wearing uniform astral anti-load suits. At a glance, it was clear they were young, each face appearing no older than thirty-five. They stood there, the determined expressions on their faces barely concealing their tension and fear, except for the man standing at the forefront of the group, whose figure was as tall and sharp as a sword.

This man seemed to be delivering a departure declaration.

"From this moment, Natural Selection is both our home and our grave..."

Lin Xian, taking KIKI and the others, quickly passed through the berth platform. The man in military uniform didn’t turn to notice them, and Lin Xian only gave a fleeting glance, observing the nameplate on the man’s chest, which seemed to bear the name Zhang.

"It shouldn’t be him; the intelligence said Vanguard’s captain is Chu Zhaonan’s son, Chu Jing. This should be the captain of this final starship."

Lin Xian continued speaking while rapidly advancing towards the distant Vanguard starship. Upon entering the star port platform, it seemed no one was paying attention to their movements.

"Lin Xian, this starship... seems to be fully loaded."

When they arrived at the bridge passage entrance of the largest Far Star-level starship, Lin Xian looked up. The giant starship was quietly stationed, all connecting compartments and hoisting ports were closed, and the hull was engraved with the large black words [Civilization Pioneer], silent and solemn. This would be the starship to first thrust towards the Heavenly Veil in the Vanguard Plan, in some sense, the one with least leeway, because if the breakthrough fails, this would be the first starship to crash. At this moment, a sense of sadness and solitude surged from Lin Xian’s heart.

Lin Xian wanted to chuckle, for he inexplicably felt a hint of endorsement for Chu Zhaonan’s plan, yet felt sorrow for generating such thoughts, as he himself was one of the humans chosen for abandonment by this human leader.

"The passage is open, the Breaking Curtain Device must be on board."

Lin Xian took a deep breath, surveyed around, and hid the transporting mechanical device in a corner of the passage. Then, with KIKI and Shi Zhi, the three of them directly stepped into Civilization Pioneer from the bridge passage.

Passing through the bridge’s alloy airlock door, automatic sensor lights gradually lit up, cold white halos extended along the passage, illuminating the steel corridor leading to the starship’s core.

At the end of the passage was a circular central chamber approximately two hundred meters in diameter, with bulkheads embedded with holographic projection panels, currently in standby, emitting a faint blue glow. The floor was laid with anti-static grid; the central chamber began a tier division, encompassing nine layers of decks, traversable through central elevator passages and stairways.

What puzzled Lin Xian was, since their entrance, they hadn’t seen a single person, prompting Lin Xian to check the starship’s internal deck map and run towards the central control room direction. Passing through a hydraulically sealed door, the temperature dropped rapidly, revealing a massive hibernation chamber where hibernation pods were arranged like a honeycomb along both sides, with the view stretching as far as a thousand pods. And every hibernation pod was occupied with people, through the transparent porthole, all were youthful faces, tranquilly asleep.
