Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 979 - 388: Restart
"Down here, there’s a very strong sense of darkness!" Shi Zhi’s face was pale, her breath exhaling chilled air. It seemed the further they went down, the colder the temperature became.
"Look quickly!"
KIKI exclaimed in surprise at this moment. Everyone’s gazes turned downward, and at a depth of 300 meters underground, the silhouette of a giant biological entity appeared in their sight.
It looked both like a biological entity and some kind of super-large mecha device. The sharp head armor integrated a large array of restraint devices, and the suppressor underneath the armor emitted a sinister green glow. Under various illumination warning lights, this giant Breaking Curtain Device gradually magnified in everyone’s eyes. The white outer armor was made of the same material as starships, seemingly due to the pre-launch preparations, with automatic systems operating beneath it.
Seeing the ominous face of its armor, Lin Xian seemed to recall the terrifying form of the Gray Mist Messenger with gray skin and body full of bone spikes encountered in dreams with Chu Yan. Now, seeing this super large device, they couldn’t help but gasp, holding their breaths.
"Oh my god, they’ve combined a starship with No.1 Machine and mounted it onto an S-Class entity?" Zhou Jin’s pupils focused in shock.
"Not just... 8 heavy space propellers. Counting this up, it’s at least four starships..." Li Su murmured next to him.
"Can something this big even fly?"
"The core support is the trunk of an S-Class Gray Mist. As long as the main structure doesn’t have any issues," KIKI expressed their surprise, saying, "it should be able to..."
"After all, it’s a collaboration between Dawn City and Deep Red World, and it’s entirely designed to fly, with only one purpose: to send this thing up to the Heavenly Veil."
Lin Xian understood why Dawn City was wholly committed to building starships. Many components had been allocated for this, which was fundamentally different from the Phoenix Society Emperor Plan. Strictly speaking, the manufacturing difficulty of the Emperor Plan should be higher, whereas this primarily utilized Deep Red World’s brain-machine integration suppressor technology, overlaid with starship propellers and armor. If merely manufacturing super-large mecha, current human materials could not support such a large-scale structure, at least not feasible under gravity constraints on Blue Star.
The engineering elevator descended to a platform, located at the gray mist’s chest armor, which was at the position of the nuclear power engine. The whole level seemed transformed into an engineering research facility. As Lin Xian and the others stepped inside, they were shocked to discover the floor littered with deceased researchers and various engineers.
Zhou Jin turned over a nearby corpse with his foot, frowning: "Just died, right before we came down."
Chu Yan’s gaze swept through the research facility passages as she and Lin Xian proceeded, discovering that offices, research labs, and command centers were filled with corpses recently killed by drone assassinations—up to hundreds. Among them were some of those clones Lin Xian had seen before in White City, and a few ordinary people.
"They were all silenced," Chu Yan remarked.
"Silenced? Why?" Lin Xian immediately asked.
As soon as he spoke, the communicator in the command center suddenly emitted a magnetic voice.
"Because the sacred mission has been accomplished, they will all be reborn."
"Julius!" Upon hearing the voice, Chu Yan immediately said, "He’s indeed here!"
Hiss~
At this moment, the main control door ahead slowly opened, with vigilant eyes from everyone watching. Inside revealed a giant white hall, and when they walked to the front of the door, the scene inside suddenly broadened. Innumerable cylindrical devices were neatly arranged on the hall floor, transparent cabins filled with light green liquid, with human bodies floating upright in each cabin.
Most eerily, all these human bodies were of the same person!
In the center of the hall was a white desk where a middle-aged Caucasian man, wearing a suit, elegantly enjoyed red wine and a plate of steak on the table.
Besides this, there was no one else in the entire hall.
"Oh, oh, oh, what a rarity. Chu Yan, Lin Xian, the two superpower users I most wanted to study appearing in front of me—I guess today should be my lucky day."
The middle-aged Caucasian before them was none other than Julius Litt, whom Lin Xian had seen in dreams and at the White Deer Beach space observatory. And all the transparent experiment cabins contained versions of him!
"Julius, we meet again," Chu Yan spoke with a stern face, taking the initiative to say.
Julius put down his knife and fork, took a sip from the wine glass, and then slightly frowned at Chu Yan.
"In fact, it’s our first meeting, you know, based on the ’individual of life.’"
Upon hearing this, KIKI softly spoke beside Lin Xian: "With so many clones, which one is the real him?"
"Damn, there must be at least a few hundred!" Zhou Jin glanced around, seeing such transparent experiment cabins everywhere, every occupant identical, as if replicated.
Julius seemed quite satisfied with Lin Xian and the others’ reactions. At this moment, he picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and smiled at Lin Xian and Chu Yan.
"You should know, from the current information, S-Class creatures, oh, or those reaching this level of disaster, are truly born from the darkness. Communicating with the darkness is actually humanity’s first dialogue with a civilization beyond Blue Star, this..." Julius shrugged slightly, smiled, "is quite marvelous."
