Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 210 - 205: Battle Results

Da da da!!

The impostors on the platform were all cleared away, as Lou Shasha and Shu Qin led the team charging out of the platform. Everyone aboard the Infinity was wildly firing at the burning monster, clenching their teeth and venting the fear of nighttime creatures from past escapes, as if they were determined to run out of every single bullet.

Big fire, bullets, relentless assault lasted four to five minutes, the barrels of all the machine guns were burning hot. At this moment, in the thick smoke of the flames, the frequency of the parasitic tentacles’ movement finally lessened more and more, gradually fading to silence.

Da da~ ka~

Until the last bullet was fired, calm finally descended upon the hillside outside the platform, all that remained was the crackling of the large parasitic body in the flames.

Hoo hoo~

At this moment, everyone stared straight at the scorched unknown creature, their eyes wide open, breathing urgently.

"Is it dead?"

Someone asked.

"It should be dead."

Swoosh~

A streak of black smoke shot up, Lin Xian watched, sensing danger, but in the next instant, the black smoke suddenly turned, flying towards the rear of the crowd.

Ding Junyi stood there, with the Hell Black Chrysanthemum she had set up in front of her.

As the surging black gas flowed in, the crimson in the flower core of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum seemed to vanish in an instant, replaced by a white glow emanating.

"Seems my hypothesis was correct." Ding Junyi lifted her glasses, showing rare excitement.

Lin Xian watched the scene, then closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, speaking softly.

"We did it."

As soon as he spoke, joy surged quickly on everyone’s faces.

"Yay!!!" Sha Sha jumped directly.

"Great news!" Shu Qin cheered excitedly, high-fiving Lou.

Lv Chang, Miao Lu, and others cheered one after another.

"Unbelievable we actually took down such a huge monster!"

"Simply astounding!"

"Long live Captain Lin!"

Chen Sixuan looked pale, her chest heaving with breath. She gazed at the large burning monster, the excited faces of her teammates around, the firelight shining on everyone’s faces, everyone sincerely cheered out loud.

Lin Xian gasped, watched KIKI floating above and Lu Xingchen emerging from the flames, finally smiled.

"I couldn’t have done it alone, it was thanks to everyone and Brother Huo’s divine intervention!"

"Just lending a hand, just lending a hand." Lu Xingchen strolled through the cheers, still sporting an unruffled expression, calmly saying, "Today my clothes got slightly dirty, I must continue to improve."

"Wow, Brother Lu was awesome today!"

"So impressive!" Female team members surrounded him, exclaiming in admiration.

"This guy~"

KIKI landed beside Lin Xian from the sky, rolled her eyes at Lu Xingchen, "Today he made quite the show, his heart must be bursting with pride, yet he’s keeping that calm front, slightly dirty clothes? Where’s the rest of his outfit?"

Lin Xian chuckled, unfazed, "You know, I think he did steal the show."

"Look."

KIKI raised a hand, summoning a dark black gem from the roaring flames, landing it in Lin Xian’s hand.

Lin Xian’s expression changed: "Is this... Blood Essence?"

"This should be level 3 Blood Essence," Ding Junyi walked over, "According to the Federation Database, records show this level 3 Blood Essence is highly valuable, equating to the worth of an entire squad!"

"Wow, that’s incredible!" KIKI exclaimed.

Lin Xian weighed it in his hand, eyes shining: "After all that effort, retrieving this value only seems right, yet its true worth depends on Director Ding."

Upon finishing, Lin Xian directly handed it to Ding Junyi.

Ding Junyi accepted it, inspecting the gem in her hand, adjusting her glasses, "Research on Blood Essence at the Phoenix Society and the Federation surely has made progress. My suggestion is exchanging our research data and conclusion on the [Dark Mark] for the latest updates from the Phoenix Society, speeding up outcome production on my side."

"Exchange?" Chen Sixuan approached, frowning slightly, "With the Federation people?"

"It’s just an exchange of interests, not related to any organization," Ding Junyi explained.

"No exchanges." Lin Xian directly denied, speaking clearly, "Our conclusion needs validation tonight once night falls. If confirmed, then we contact the Phoenix Society to synchronize the [Dark Mark] research directly. They likely have some research suppositions, yet informing other survivors even a day earlier might mean some live a few days longer."

Ding Junyi regarded Lin Xian, paused, nodded, "Alright, everything according to your decision. I’ll keep studying this Blood Essence, if you need to trade it for goods, I suggest using level 1 and 2 Blood Essence first. This level 3 Blood Essence has significantly different properties, crucial for my studies."

"That’s no problem," Lin Xian nodded.

His gaze swept the gloomy sky, most of Rain Town was burning, the parasitic body now a massive charcoal piece, the platform inside and out filled with fierce battle, corpses of impostors strewn everywhere.

Lin Xian approached Shu Qin for a tally: "Any casualties?"

Shu Qin shook her head, looked at Lin Xian excitedly, "Injuries, but not severe, no casualties."

Lin Xian nodded, sighed relief; facing such a large parasitic entity with no personnel loss was entirely beyond his expectations.

He turned to Ding Junyi, "Thank you, Director Ding, your judgment was correct."

Ding Junyi nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Despite the extensive ammunition and resources spent, solving the monster without losing a person aligned with expectations, potentially clearing the entire team’s [Dark Mark]. Moreover, Lin Xian found something crucial, this battle profoundly changed the team’s mindset, boosting morale vastly, truly a noteworthy gain!

With just over an hour until nightfall, Lin Xian decided they should no longer waste time due to caution.

"Everyone, swiftly clean the battlefield and return to the train. We’ll be leaving Rain Town tonight under its cover."

"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison and began acting quickly.

The Roarer K23 Electric Revolving Gun, Lin Xian had Lou help bring it onto the train, enhancing firepower.

The only issue was ammunition supply, as more heavy weaponry on the train increased Lin Xian’s manufacturing pressure.

At Lin Xian’s command, everyone returned aboard the Infinity, and his priority was activating the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube once everyone was on board.

[Beep! Non-mechanical forces are conducting reflection detection.]

[Detection successful, no fear risk inside the train, dark power incursion blocked.]

"Hoo~"

Lin Xian relievedly exhaled, considering last night’s impostor intrusion circumstances, his concern of the large parasite spewing parasites repeating was evident.

"Thank goodness for the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube, alongside the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, these two greatly proved their worth."

One could shield against dark contamination forces, detect invasion crises within the train, albeit mysterious, its displayed ability to perceive [Dark Mark] made Lin Xian feel it extremely worthwhile.

In some sense, the Hell Black Chrysanthemum function equates to a higher version of the Soul Swinging Value Detector.
