Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 998 - 391: Vanguard
"What are we talking about?"
"For example, are you really dead?"
Chu Yan’s expression was complex: "My spiritual power invaded Julius’s body. I’m surviving by borrowing his life force. He preserved himself in an advanced life pod, so I’ll live for a short period in this state. But once my spiritual power fades, I will completely perish."
Lin Xian opened his mouth, then suddenly laughed.
"Why are you laughing?"
"I was just thinking if there’s another way to save you, but then I realized, with the world ending possibly tonight, maybe we won’t live as long as you."
On hearing this, Chu Yan inexplicably smiled. She cast a gleaming glance at Lin Xian and, after a moment, said:
"Thank you, Lin Xian."
"What’s there to thank? You helped me seize the Heart of the Galaxy, saved the entire city, and sacrificed yourself. What do I deserve thanks for?"
"Thank you for appearing in my consciousness, for completing this task with me, and for being here, keeping me company and talking..." Chu Yan said.
Lin Xian let out a long sigh: "It’s a pity both of us are just consciousness entangled. Otherwise, in times like this, how nice it would be to share a drink."
At this moment, Chu Yan looked at the innumerable celestial wreckage and countless fallen heroes of the Vanguard Plan, and said to Lin Xian: "By the way, there’s another crucial piece of information. After the Vanguard Starship sequence broke through the Heavenly Veil, I received a message from the Civilization Pioneer captain, Chu Jing, sent to Dawn City through the Common Star Channel. However, at that time, the Dark Energy Storm Zone engulfed this area, and all communications were disrupted."
"What message?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"The Civilization Pioneer succeeded in acquiring the energy data of the Dark Erosion Cells absorbing dark invasion energy through the Breaking Curtain Plan activation monitoring experimental device. If the potential energy of dark invasion could be transformed and filtered as Dark Creatures do, it would enable 100% water purification. Moreover, utilizing the Tongshi Device to stimulate this energy microwave could help humanity completely shield against dark invasion and resolve the mutation disaster!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian’s eyes changed. Isn’t this exactly his Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube, and even more powerful, since it can filter out dark invasions from the water!
"Wow, Colonel Chu really made a significant contribution!"
At this moment, Chu Yan seriously said to Lin Xian: "During the Vanguard Fleet’s encounter with the Dark Energy Storm, the Civilization Pioneer was actually the only starship capable of exiting the storm. However, a massive mutation occurred on the Civilization Pioneer, so Chu Jing eventually decided to launch the only two remaining supply propulsion ship to push the Natural Selection and Deep Blue out of the Dark Energy Storm Zone, preparing for the Civilization Pioneer to turn back..."
"He wanted to transmit the data back to Dawn City?!" Lin Xian asked in surprise.
Chu Yan nodded.
"He wanted to leave humanity with a hope for survival."
"He did not want to abandon humanity."
Subsequently, Chu Yan recounted to Lin Xian how, after invading Julius’s consciousness, she pierced through the invisible Heavenly Veil as the lead ship of the Breaking Curtain Plan. From Chu Yan’s description, Lin Xian felt as if he personally witnessed that epic and heroic scene: seven Doomsday Starships carrying tens of thousands of people, along with frozen human embryos and civilization repositories, rushed at full speed toward a potentially cataclysmic Heavenly Veil. Within thirty minutes of encountering the Dark Energy Storm, the seven captains fought to escape.
It was a scene of unparalleled tragedy yet determined resolve, where countless young lives vanished into the cold expanse of space. Lin Xian could hardly conceive how, under the premise of survival, Chu Jing made the tragic decision to launch supply propulsion ships to send away the Natural Selection and Deep Blue, perhaps with the same decisiveness and resolve with which he led the Civilization Pioneer to the forefront of all the starships.
Lin Xian looked at the distant starry sky, at the massive, fragmented Far Star-class starship that symbolized the glory of human technological civilization, now quietly drifting in the vacuum, its prow held high.
Like a resplendent banner.
