Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 207 - 202: Expulsion (Kneeling to Beg for Monthly Tickets!)
Chapter 207: Chapter 202: Expulsion (Kneeling to Beg for Monthly Tickets!)
In the afternoon, Rain Town experienced another heavy rain.
The sky turned dark and gloomy, an oppressive atmosphere filled the air, and outside the cinema on the main street, many vehicles were parked.
Some of these vehicles belonged to the Jingang Team, with traces of dried blood still on them, while others were gathered and repaired by Ding Qing from around the town. These vehicles had no defensive capabilities, and the gasoline wouldn’t last more than one or two hundred kilometers.
In the underground parking, over a hundred people emerged with luggage, trembling under the gunpoint, their faces filled with anxiety and confusion, with occasional cries of children and sobs of women.
Upon learning that the town was about to be destroyed, everyone’s first reaction was confusion and fear, clueless about the uncertain future.
In the rain, some families began loading their luggage onto cars, while a few people started organizing the survivors to distribute cars. Everyone acted silently, and on the street, members of the Infinity team, weapons in hand, observed the scene.
Countless gazes continuously swept towards Lin Xian, some people began to understand that this was the person about to confront the monster from the chemical plant directly, the one responsible for their departure from this seemingly safe yet twisted sanctuary.
The looks towards Lin Xian were filled with complex meanings. Lin Xian said nothing, quietly watching these people nervously load the cars, which then left one by one.
He knew that most of these people might not survive until tomorrow, but if the [mark] were proven, and Lin Xian and his team successfully dealt with the monster, these people might live a few more days.
Once everyone had left, Lin Xian wasted no time and ordered the team members to board the train, returning to the train; he and KIKI stayed in town, responsible for the detonation.
Considering various issues with the [mark], Lin Xian had Lv Chang bring the Hell Black Chrysanthemum from the big box; he wanted to see if solving the monster might allow the Hell Black Chrysanthemum to absorb the black smoke.
On the Infinity’s side, aside from Lin Xian and KIKI, everyone else had returned to the train. Due to the viciousness of the battlefield, Shu Qin only allowed those with strong mental capabilities to clean up the scene, while others assisted Chen Sixuan with organizing and recording storage boxes.
The Rain Town platform exuded an aura of death and chilling cold; the rainwater running down appeared mostly red due to the rain.
"12 first-class Blood Essences, 3 second-class Blood Essences, along with 4 rocket launchers and two 12.7mm vehicle-mounted machine guns, this Jingang Team truly possessed extraordinary strength."
Inside the carriage, Shu Qin looked at the recorded confiscations, secretly alarmed.
"Without our heavy weapons, they wouldn’t have been destroyed so quickly," Chen Sixuan stated.
"It’s useless."
Lu Xingchen had a deep, pensive expression: "They’ve lost their fighting spirit, they’re nothing but stray dogs, turned into demon lackeys who no longer dare to fight to the death, only engaging in petty theft and deceit." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Chen Sixuan was momentarily silent upon hearing this. It was human nature to seek benefit and avoid harm. The people on the Infinity, including herself, had been driven to the end of their rope, escaping through countless dark nights; ordinary people were bound to experience a change in mindset when finding a place that sheltered them from the night.
"Alright."
Chen Sixuan looked outside the window, reminding everyone: "Everyone, prepare yourselves; we need to assist Lin Xian and the others."
With that, she turned to Daluo: "Daluo, bring a few people to urgently repair the tracks ahead; I’ve checked, the damage isn’t severe, there’s no need to wait for Lin Xian to return, we might need to evacuate at any time."
"Understood, sis."
Daluo accepted the order solemnly. Carriage No. 11 was equipped with rail steel and various hoisting and welding tools, something Lin Xian had always prepared. As long as there wasn’t massive terrain damage, even without Lin Xian and KIKI, others could handle emergency situations.
Chen Sixuan was meticulous and thorough in her considerations. In the absence of Lin Xian, after engaging in battle, the gentle and reserved aura about Chen Sixuan was gradually replaced by a steady and cold demeanor, leading everyone to recognize her more.
Under Chen Sixuan’s command, the personnel in each carriage of the Infinity began making orderly preparations for evacuation.
Rain Town, Clock Tower.
Lin Xian held a remote controller crafted from a makeshift communicator, watching the silent town streets, with eerie figures faintly visible in some broken windows.
Those gazes hidden within the buildings seemed to sense an invisible threat, quietly staring in Lin Xian’s direction.
KIKI floated behind him with arms crossed: "I wondered why you went inside, turns out you had your eyes on that mechanical swing arm; do you want to install it on the train?"
"Why not."
Lin Xian opened his mouth: "My mechanical superpower has much potential yet to be utilized, just like you said, if this succeeds, we might really visit Star City and meet with the Federation Government."
KIKI raised an eyebrow: "According to the radio, the Old Federation Government has renamed Star City to Dawn City and reorganized the original garrison and some security group armed forces into a ’Federation Army’, formidable in strength. We must sneak in quietly, otherwise, the Infinity’s Gemini 11R Nuclear Power Electric Locomotive will be noticed the moment it enters."
"Barring any accidents, their strength and reputation will continue to grow," Lin Xian stated.
"You mean a lot of survivors will join?"
Lin Xian nodded, taking a deep breath: "If the [Dark Mark] theory holds, surely more people will head to Dawn City. At that point, discussions about fleeing or holding out might spark a new round of debate among the survivors..."
"Such a situation would be extremely disadvantageous for the Phoenix Society."
KIKI frowned upon hearing this, instantly falling silent and expressing some uneasiness,
"True, if people fear being marked in the darkness, public opinion on Dawn City’s underground city project might reverse, causing internal tremors within the Phoenix Society, which constantly relocates globally."
"Yes, but not so quickly, as humanity still lacks the ability to securely survive in Extreme Night; like the mystery of that unknown creature in Underground City 9 remains unsolved. Whether to run or hold out, both have their arguments, but most people still lean towards fleeing the night, though efforts must be focused on addressing the [Dark Mark]."
"Should we synchronize this [Dark Mark] issue with the Phoenix Society?" KIKI had a hint of concern in her eyes.
"Yes."
Lin Xian’s expression was resolute, speaking without hesitation: "Debates among human factions are our internal affairs, but against the dark invasion, our enemy is unanimous. If today we can use Hell Black Chrysanthemum to prove this theory, it might save many survivors on the run and alter their escape tactics. Compared to the life and death of millions, factional disputes are insignificant."
Upon hearing this, KIKI nodded appreciatively: "Not bad, quite broad-minded, though those descent faction people might not see it this way, they perceive monsters as gods."
"Do they?"
Lin Xian gazed at the chemical plant: "Then today, let’s make those descent faction gods bleed!"

"Lin Xian, the Infinity side is ready, ready to retreat at any time, be careful."
Through the communicator, Chen Sixuan’s voice came through. Lin Xian checked the time, it was 14:40 in the afternoon.
"Everyone, brace for impact, ready to detonate!"
