Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 968 - 386: Breaking Curtain Device!_6

"What do we do now?"

"Someone... is coming."

At this moment, standing at the door ’keeping watch,’ Shi Zhi whispered to Lin Xian and KIKI.

Lin Xian and KIKI exchanged glances, immediately making a decisive decision.

"Withdraw for now, don’t alert them, we still have 16 hours until the launch, we have time to find the Dark Erosion Cell that’s truly mind-linked."

KIKI nodded. Lin Xian was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something, then raised his hand to build a miniature device, placing it in a discreet spot beneath the spherical equipment, and then left the Space Science Laboratory along with KIKI and Shi Zhi. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"What are you doing?" At the passage, a young female scientist with a clean and pretty face, wearing glasses, looked at the three with surprise.

"Routine inspection," Lin Xian replied coldly, then strode past.

"Oh~" The female scientist adjusted her glasses, watching their backs as they left without saying anything.

Minutes later, Lin Xian, KIKI, and Shi Zhi once again pulled the starship’s mechanical device towards the Star Port, ready to leave.

"Chu Yan, Captain Zhou, Captain Qi, how’s your situation over there? On my side..."

On the way, Lin Xian walked quickly while trying to contact each squad to synchronize situations.

At this time, a man clad in a military uniform with a resolute face slowly walked down the distant passage. His gaze, sharp as a knife, quickly surveyed Lin Xian and the others, frowned slightly, seemingly sensing something amiss.

Seeing the man, Lin Xian and his team immediately stopped in their tracks, giving him a military salute.

The man naturally returned the salute without stopping, leaving slowly.

The man wore no badge, Colonel epaulets, his gaze profound as a song.

Chu Jing walked out along the passage, the sky outside the star port was once again covered by clouds, and a fine rain started falling.

"Captain Chu."

After entering the Vanguard, a senior deputy came over at this time: "The launch sequence is ready."

"Notify them: as of now, the Star Port is completely sealed off."

"Yes."

...

Lin Xian contacted Chu Yan, and the two teams came together to the closed and abandoned Twin Star Tower for a meetup.

Chu Yan consolidated information from all sides. Captain Zhou’s team, after hacking into the internal network of the underground facility, indeed found an action log regarding a confidential plan. But because the underground facility had been rebuilt by Dawn City, all the code names inside were replaced, along with missing sensitive information, making it impossible for them to locate the position hidden in the Deep Red World.

"So we have 16 hours left?" On the top of the high building, Chu Yan and Lin Xian’s squad looked at the city under the rain, exchanging information.

It was about to be dark.

"Strictly speaking, we have more than 16 hours." Rain specks hung on Lin Xian’s face, he said: "But after the Vanguard Plan launch, discovering the person mind-linked to the S-Class or activating this Dark Erosion Cell will be practically impossible. Of course, we could mind-link to the S-Class ourselves using the fungal link as one option."

"Mind-link ourselves, is there time?" Chu Yan questioned in reply.

Lin Xian answered promptly: "Don’t we have a piece of the Dark Erosion Cell in hand?"

"The one used by the Deep Red World for activation comes from the same S-Class body as ours," Chu Yan said: "Don’t you remember the Gray Mist Messenger?"

"What’s the relation? Wouldn’t we obtain the same information this way?"

After Lin Xian finished speaking, he suddenly froze, instantly realizing something.

"Wait, Gray Mist Messenger, that deceased S-Class Abnormal Body..."

"What happened?" Chu Yan looked at him.

"What’s the purpose of the Deep Red World recovering this S-Class Abnormal Body corpse?" Lin Xian questioned: "Logically, they’ve already acquired the Action Brain Cells and cultivated them in Star Abyss, haven’t they?"

"Because the living Dark Erosion Cells are not only researched by the Deep Red World for transforming darkness invasion efficacy, the true aim is to use the fungal link to connect to the dark," Chu Yan explained.

Lin Xian’s expression sharpened: "But connecting to the dark is the goal, lacking a process."

"What process?" KIKI questioned at this moment.

"Revivifying the S-Class Action Brain!" Lin Xian suddenly recalled the large biological experimental Prosthetic under the Jinhai Star Ring Factory, always curious why a corpse of Abnormal Body had inhibitor devices and restraints by the Deep Red World.

Because if this Abnormal Body couldn’t move on its own, the devices would be pointless, and the fungal link would be futile.

"Chu Yan, do you remember getting information from Zhou Mingyuan and Wen Hui, mentioning this large mechanical device dispatch by Dawn City?"

"Indeed."

"If it’s a starship device, what’s peculiar about that? Starships are built every day. What they mentioned as large mechanical devices must be something else entirely!"

Lin Xian’s expression drastically changed: "I believe the Deep Red World aims to cultivate a complete S-Class Action Brain for fungal linking, a single Dark Erosion Cell alone is insignificant, which explains why these cells need to be cultured on living biological tissues, and is also why they recovered the Gray Mist Messenger’s corpse. They intend to cultivate a Action Brain on its body, then conduct fungal linking!"

"You’re saying, they’re planning to revive an S-Class?" KIKI exclaimed in surprise.

Chu Yan looked perplexed: "Why would Dawn City allow them to do so?"

Lin Xian suddenly recalled something, "KIKI!"

"What happened?!"

"Replay the log information from the Vanguard just now, wait, it’s the launch sequence information!"

KIKI immediately pulled out a mobile terminal: "’Civilization Pioneer’ is currently assigned a special ascent task, to be initiated in 16 hours, 46 minutes, and 31 seconds, launch sequence 2."

"Launch sequence... 2? Why 2, I always felt something was off, if Vanguard isn’t the first sequence, then what is?"

In an instant, countless thoughts converged, becoming clear.

Dark Erosion Cells growing on living tissue, the recovery of Gray Mist Messenger, the A-level implant experiments below Jinhai, fungal brain-machine device, Dark Connection, Sky Veil, Breaking Curtain Device, Star Abyss Movement, Dawn City’s dispatch of ultra-large mechanical devices...

At this moment, Lin Xian looked towards the rain curtain gradually turning dark, speaking in a deep voice.

"If there’s only a piece of Dark Erosion Cell on the Vanguard and not an Action Brain, it indicates somewhere, an oversized S-Class, post Blood and Flesh Armor and brain revival."

"Is truly the Breaking Curtain Device!"
