Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 346 The Spy!
In Baicheng, at the Xishankou Tunnel, three groups of people emerged rapidly from the shadows, heading in three different directions.

Lin Xian had the heaviest task. Two large drones from Silent City followed behind him, carrying two sets of magnetically controlled deceleration array devices. He had to complete the scanning on the way, as two sets were clearly not enough to catch the joint train.

In addition, Grace was arranged by Lin Xian to be at the forefront, while Huo Ge, KIKI, Chen Sixuan, and Shiori followed him.

The city ahead was a dark outline, and the team could only use the holographic panel for navigation, as well as night vision and radar systems to discern the environment in the darkness. Although Silent City had deployed detection facilities in many parts of the city, the range was quite limited. In order to avoid running into any strange creatures head-on, Lin Xian chose to run along the rooftops of the streets. The advantage of this method was that it was fast, and there were generally no monsters on the rooftops.

However, the downside is that the group's location is more exposed, so they have to speed things up.

[Unidentified creature spotted on higher ground ahead!]

Just as Lin Xian and the others leaped onto a low building, Grace in front of them suddenly sent a warning message.

The group stopped, and Lin Xian opened the map of Baicheng to readjust the route.

"down!"

At Lin Xian's command, he immediately activated his power armor and leaped out, entering an underground parking garage. According to the route plan, there was a road below that could directly cross two streets to enter an underground pedestrian street.

As a mountain city, Baicheng is full of such intricate tunnels. It is not uncommon for underground tunnels to connect parking garages and overpasses to run through the rooftops of residential buildings.

This is precisely why the densely packed mountain town, resembling a strange jungle, felt particularly oppressive in the deathly darkness.

Boom!
Grace leaped down from the sky and quickly caught up with Lin Xian.

At this moment, the optoelectronic systems of everyone's power armor were activated, casting a pale white light in the underground garage. The air was filled with dust, and the only sound was the metallic roar of the mechs rushing around.

KIKI erected a psychic shield during flight, being extra careful in this confined environment.

Brother Huo always kept a ball of flame in his palm, partly for vigilance, and partly to use the heat to dispel the chill that clung to his body.

"Lin Xian!"

At this moment, Chen Sixuan suddenly stopped and aimed her gun directly at the depths of the garage on the right front.

"what happened?"

"Something's coming."

"I felt it too." Shiori reacted quickly. She immediately retreated behind the group, raised her hand, and used her ability to connect everyone. In an instant, the others felt a sensation as if they had drunk a cold, dark reagent, rising from the soles of their feet. Shiori's ability could not only temporarily drive away the darkness encroaching on the vehicle, but also enhance some of the mental strength of ability users.

No wonder Ryunosuke and Amano Ran were able to deal with the attacks of Lin Xian's many experts in a short time in the square without falling into a disadvantage immediately. Now he also felt the benefits of this peculiar ability.

However, he had no time to think about it carefully. Upon hearing Chen Sixuan's words, he immediately manipulated 25 Thunder Falcon drones to rotate and explore forward.

"Grace, provide backup!"

【clear】

At the same time, Grace rushed out, but then Chen Sixuan seemed to hear something and suddenly her expression changed. She turned her gun and fired a shot into the darkness on the left!
Bang!
"This way!"

After the gunshots, a series of rapid crawling sounds suddenly rang out. Lin Xian turned around, and a white beam of light shone on him. He saw a large monster that looked neither human nor inhuman in the corner. Its eerie, sharp mouth emitted a buzzing sound, and instantly a stream of black gas spewed out in all directions!

"retreat!"

Lin Xian knew that Chen Sixuan's shot must have hit the target, but the monster was still unclear. Its sharp whistling sound was like the red light head they had encountered before, and everyone felt a momentary eerie flicker in their vision, with various bloody and terrifying images flashing before their eyes.

Fear strikes!

"We've been marked!" Shiori's voice followed. Silent City possesses the most advanced spirit-sustaining detector, capable of accurately scanning marks on the human body.

squeak!
The sharp buzzing sound echoed and rose in pitch throughout the basement, stirring up the dust on the ground.

At the same time, Lin Xian and Huo Ge were the first to make their move.

"fire punch!"

The massive fireball, accompanied by the pulse rays from Lin Xian's drone, instantly illuminated the entire basement. The flames and explosions immediately engulfed the unknown monster, shattering the load-bearing columns and ventilation ducts along with it.

Just then, a loud bang came from Grace's side, and an object that looked like a human head flew from a distance and rolled down to Lin Xian's feet.

In the lamplight, Grace, clutching a grotesque human head with spider legs, flew backward, then performed a backflip in mid-air before landing, smashing the still-crawling spider-legged head to pieces on the ground, while simultaneously alerting the team.
[Beware, a human-like creature is approaching!]

With a loud bang, just as she finished speaking, a wall next to Grace exploded, and a powerful impact snapped several pillars in half. KIKI used her telekinesis to sweep away all the concrete fragments and dust.

Behind that wall stood a humanoid creature resembling a butcher. This bloated 'human monster' wore a gas mask and tattered equipment, and its entire body had mutated, its skin turning bluish-green.

Chen Sixuan acted decisively, raising her hand and firing a shot. The butcher's head exploded on one side. Strangely, even with only half his head remaining, the man remained unmoved. Suddenly, many scale-like things sprouted from his body, which turned out to be countless small beetles. The scale-like insects buzzed around him, and then the butcher's body began to ooze a thick green liquid before he pounced on the team.

"Don't let it get close, this monster will explode!" Shiori said immediately upon seeing this.

"Don't even think about it!" KIKI raised her hand and clenched her fist. Her powerful psychic energy, carrying dust and sand, surged towards the butcher like a pillar of wind. After blasting the sharp-beaked monster away, Lu Xingchen turned around and also spewed fire at KIKI's pillar of wind. In an instant, the jet of fire directly scorched the pillars, floor, and walls inside the garage, turning them red-hot.

boom!
At this moment, a muffled explosion was heard, and a large amount of dark green liquid sprayed out in all directions, but it was all blown away by KIKI's wind pillars. At this time, several strange figures rushed out of the darkness. Lin Xian could tell that these were not zombies or monsters. Judging from their clothes, they were more like evolved humans who had been devoured by Xingyuan.

In an instant, the entire basement was filled with black smoke and green mist.

After being hit by Lin Xian and Huo Ge, the shrieking monster quickly disappeared into the darkness behind it. Its eerie cries sounded like those of a crying child. Lin Xian looked at the flashing marker detector, gritted his teeth, and while Grace and KIKI were suppressing the human-monster, he charged out. The human-monster wasn't the main target; the real threat was the strange creature that could only be marked with a dark mark.

shhhhhh!
The drone nimbly traversed the basement, its crimson pulse arcs constantly flashing. Under the searchlight, Lin Xian seemed to see a monster over ten meters long constantly shrinking back until it reached the elevator entrance. The monster seemed to be attached to the building structure, with its pointed beak body merely its protruding head.

Seeing this, Lin Xian did not hesitate. He opened the mech's palm cannon with both hands, and at the same time, six small needle missiles on his shoulders were fired. Accompanied by the bombardment of the drone, they directly hit the monster's main body attached to the elevator entrance.

After a barrage of attacks, the monster's serpentine body broke off from the bottom, and its screams became even more intense. At this moment, Fire Brother also freed his hands and flew over quickly, shooting flames from his hands in a crisscross pattern, directly cutting the monster into several pieces. After dealing with the few human monsters, KIKI also turned around and used her telekinesis to crush the head of the sharp-mouthed monster, and the screams stopped abruptly.

Uh-huh! !
At this moment, the dark marks on Lin Xian and the others were indeed removed. However, the brief but intense battle seemed to have attracted the attention of many dark creatures, and sounds came from the distance, upstairs, and at the exit.

"Come on!"

Without hesitation, Lin Xian dealt with the monster. The entire basement was almost filled with black mist. This terrifying power contained a deadly poison and could not be allowed to linger. He immediately called everyone to move towards the original route. At the same time, high-energy explosives were generated in Lin Xian's hands along with rotor drones and then flew out and were placed on the load-bearing pillars of the basement.

“We must have disturbed something big.” Chen Sixuan, wearing the Black Hawk armor and holding the Meteor 3, had evolved her eyesight and hearing to an extremely high level, except for the combat window. Although she could not sense the power of darkness like Shiori Abai, she could detect the monster’s movements in advance.

As Lin Xian ran, he kept an eye on the changes in the detector and said sternly, "Don't worry about it. I'll run along the underground route. As long as I'm not marked, I won't make a move."

Whether above or below ground, the path to the orbital station is one that the people of Silent City rarely used before. Lin Xian knew that there was a high probability of encountering the Strange Being. However, compared to other options, the advantage of choosing the underground route was that the scale of the battle could be suppressed. As long as they could remove the mark, they could enter the darkness and remain silent like the Strange Being. If they were on the ground, the noise from Brother Huo and KIKI's actions would be too great.

[Click click...]

After entering the underground, communications were severely disrupted, and Lin Xian was temporarily unable to contact the other two teams. He could only lead his team forward quickly. After exiting the underground parking garage and entering a dilapidated building, a wire mesh door appeared in front of them. Lin Xian raised his hand and used the mechanical devouring technique, and the wire mesh door disappeared in an instant.

They need to climb up the building to the platform above to get into the street.

"Front."

"Lin Xian, ahead!" Chen Sixuan and Shizhi said at the same time.

As the lights flickered, a twisted, grotesque creature suddenly emerged from the dilapidated staircase ahead. As if startled by the team's lights, the creature opened its mouth wide, and Lin Xian's dozens of drones simultaneously fired pulse rays, completely disintegrating the monster's upper body.

"A Class C Anomaly!"

Lin Xian glanced at the half-corpse still burning, the strange entity, and without saying much, ran straight upstairs. With their current strength, dealing with this C-level strange entity wouldn't be too difficult, but the real fear was being marked.

In this star-abyss darkness, even the slightest mark could expose the entire team to the surrounding anomalies, just like before.

"We... have lost contact with the fortress," Shiori whispered as she ran.

"It'll be there soon!"

Whew, ~Whew~
Lin Xian steadied his breathing. With the protection of the Black Hawk Power Armor, his mobility and defense against these monsters were greatly enhanced. Apart from the pressure of the darkness, he was now only concerned about the marking detector.

bang~
On the dark, dilapidated street, a gate was smashed open, and several people in power armor, accompanied by a large number of flying drones, rushed into the street. By this time, they had already crossed three streets through various underground passages and were less than a kilometer away from the White City Rail Station.

Follow me

Grace's calm voice came through as she transmitted the route information, continuing to lead Lin Xian and the others through the streets and alleys. Soon, the group arrived at the White City Rail Station.

Standing on the clock tower, Lin Xian looked out and saw that the abandoned vehicles left behind by Hu Lushou and his convoy after their battle were still parked haphazardly in the square of the railway station.

Chen Sixuan raised her gun and scouted the area before saying, "Lin Xian, there's definitely something in there. I can hear some noise."

*Buzzing sound* Lin Xian raised his hand and created a signal repeater, placing it directly above the clock tower. After strengthening the signal transmission, it finally connected to the signal base stations deployed throughout Silent City.

"Lin, I see you've reached the orbital station. Looks like everything went smoothly."

"It's alright, we haven't encountered any major problems," Lin Xian replied.

In the main control room at the bottom of the White City nuclear bunker, Shinji Mochizuki, dressed in a plain robe, looked at the location points of the three teams on the holographic screen and simultaneously commanded the three teams in different voices.

“Miss Ning Jing, there is a high probability that there is a strange entity in the morgue on the first basement floor of Baicheng Hospital. Xun and his team encountered it once before and did not completely eliminate it. Be careful there.”

"Xun, place detonators at points A and B on the north side of your central square, and on the Minsheng Building on the east side. Place EMP drone missiles on the commercial center and that TV tower..."

Lin Xian, meanwhile, had just created an infrared sentinel sensor and placed it atop the clock tower. He then spoke to Chen Sixuan.
"Teacher Chen, you stay here and come to me if anything happens."

Chen Sixuan nodded, walked to the top of the clock tower and slid down, crouching down in a corner of the high-rise, overlooking the entire Baicheng Rail Station.

"KIKI, Huo Ge, you go up, we'll go down!"

"it is good!"

As soon as the words were spoken, KIKI and Lu Xingchen leaped out, while Lin Xian, led by Grace, and Shiori jumped down from the clock tower, preparing to cross the passenger terminal from the front square to the track section behind.

As Lin Xian sprinted, he also swallowed an off-road vehicle in the process. Meanwhile, KIKI and Huo Ge flew to the track station behind them in the blink of an eye. Before they even landed, the marker detectors on their bodies suddenly went off.

Her expression immediately changed, and she and Lu Xingchen searched for each other.

"Oh no, Sister Chen..."

"I didn't see it, the sound I heard was inside the bus station!" Chen Sixuan's voice came from inside.

However, Lin Xian and Shiori had already entered the passenger station hall, but no dark marks appeared on their bodies.

"Let's split up and search!" Lin Xian said directly.

Just as Lin Xian finished speaking, Chen Sixuan, who was hiding on the clock tower, immediately noticed many strange noises coming from the surrounding streets. She adjusted her perspective, and on the holographic screen under the night vision radar, she could clearly see some indescribable creature slowly crawling towards the orbital station in the dark alley not far away. All of this happened the instant KIKI and Lu Xingchen were marked.

"A strange entity is approaching you; you must deal with it immediately!"

Upon hearing this, KIKI and Lu Xingchen were also on high alert. At this moment, one of them was standing on the open-air track and the other was standing on the steel roof of the platform. Their power armor systems were constantly searching, but they found nothing.

The dilapidated tracks seemed to lead into hell, with no end in sight.

Meanwhile, Lin Xian and Shizhi had already passed through the passenger station and arrived on the tracks.

As soon as Shiori came out, she pointed to the direction of an old-fashioned residential building outside the outer wall of the railway station: "Over there, there's a spy!"

The term "spy" was given to Lin Xian by Qian Suxun after he asked about the strange creature that emerged from the tunnel and then disappeared. According to the Silent City team's intelligence, it was a kind of creature similar to a scout among strange creatures, capable of emitting dark marks but not actively attacking itself. When Lin Xian heard this, he immediately thought of the S-rank Cloud Black Thorn in Xilan City. He didn't expect that there would be such a creature among ordinary strange creatures.

Shinji Mochizuki called these strange entities "spyers" and believed that they were not of low rank. They lurked in the shadows, marked humans, attracted other strange entities to attack them, and devoured their flesh.

Upon hearing Shiori's words, KIKI and Fire immediately took action and flew towards the residential building.

"You despicable scoundrel, watch me burn you to ashes!"

"Hurry, there's no time!" KIKI's expression was serious; in this situation, she dared not hesitate for even a moment.

Just as the two flew over the wall, they spotted a white, eerie figure quickly disappearing behind a residential building. However, when they gave chase, they lost sight of it.

At this moment, Lin Xian followed with Shiori.

"I sensed their presence!" Shiori said, her expression tense. She used her special ability to 'purify' the group.

"Grace, scan!"

With a whoosh, Grace, who was following behind, leaped onto the wall and scanned the surrounding environment.

[Scanning in progress; suspicious locations have been marked.]

Soon, several waypoints appeared on Lin Xian's new screen, each pointing to a different escape route.

"Separate and chase!"

At this moment, Shiori stood to the side with her brows furrowed. For some reason, she could feel that the terrifying aura of darkness had not gone away, but had remained beside her. Suspicious, she quickly looked around and discovered that in the corner of the courtyard of the residential building, there was a well that looked like it had been there for a long time. The well's enclosure had collapsed and broken, revealing a dark hole.

"It's right here, it hasn't left!"

Just as Lin Xian and the others were about to set off, Shiori called them back and pointed to the well.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian and KIKI rushed over immediately. KIKI was the fastest, and she needed to use her telekinesis to grab the monster as soon as possible and then work with Lin Xian to take it down. Otherwise, the marks on their bodies would soon attract a large number of strange creatures, which would be troublesome.

But just as she flew over the well and shone her searchlight down, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared.

A white ghostly figure was huddled at the bottom of the well, emitting an eerie laugh.

Kakakka~
KIKI was startled. In an instant, the white ghostly figure rushed upwards, seemingly preparing to escape again. KIKI focused her attention, her eyes flashing with mental energy, and immediately used her mental energy to suppress the ghostly figure.

Huo Ge and Lin Xian, who had already arrived at the side, were not about to give it a chance. They attacked with all their might from the left and right!
"Burning Heaven Sword!"

Mechanical Energy Cannon!
To ensure absolute success, Brother Huo unleashed his ultimate move. A crimson fire, accompanied by a Mach ring, sliced ​​through the newly emerged white ghostly figure along with a large area of ​​residential buildings behind it. The raging flames melted even the walls, and billowing smoke rose into the sky.

In an instant, the faint marks on KIKI and Fire Brother disappeared again, and the team immediately fell silent.

Shinji Mochizuki, located in the main control room, noticed the change in the signal on Lin Xian's team and then received a message saying...
"Lin, the tide is going out soon. You need to leave here immediately and take shelter in the refuge hall below the orbital station!"

"it is good!"

The situation just now was extremely dangerous. After confirming that there were no marks on him, Lin Xian immediately called out to Chen Sixuan, "Teacher Chen!"

"coming!"

Chen Sixuan also rushed over at this time. The group went directly from the passenger center hall to an underground parking garage below via the stairs. This underground parking garage has three levels. The bottom level is a place similar to an underground warehouse, which is smaller than the parking garage above. Generally, such civil defense facilities are built in transportation hubs for emergency situations.

Lin Xian checked the time, led his team directly into the refuge hall, and then closed the blast door.

bang.

A dull thud echoed through the empty hall.

Lin Xian immediately turned on the lights. This refuge hall was the closest one they could find to the Baicheng Rail Station, unlike the other areas that Qian Suxun and the others had already explored. So the basement below the passenger center might still be dangerous for them.

The light swept across the empty refuge hall, with various fire-fighting equipment still on the emergency supply rack in the corner, and nothing on the floor except for dust.

Just like what they saw when they first entered White City, the city didn't seem to have experienced an apocalyptic escape. Everything was frozen in time, and no one even came to collect emergency supplies, indicating that it had 'stopped' after the arrival of the Apocalypse.

"The tide is about to come in, everyone must stay calm and not get distracted."

At this moment, Shiori kindly reminded the group, "Shinji said that the more fear we feel, the less rational we become, and the less strength we can muster. So if we are prepared, we can reduce the pressure from the darkness that comes with the rising tide."

Lin Xian nodded, raised his hand and created a large light, which illuminated the entire hall. The light was bright, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on current global research on superpowers, the strength of superpowers is directly proportional to the growth of mental strength, while mutations are irreversible life collapses caused by the collapse of will. Therefore, maintaining inner strength helps improve the survival rate.

Grace said calmly.

Lin Xian looked at Grace, whose entire body was covered in gleaming metal. She had just stomped on several strange human-headed spiders with her bare hands, and her movements were graceful. Even when faced with the huge explosion and the frontal suppression of the Qian Su Xun heavy robot, she did not suffer any obvious damage. It has to be said that the robot's strength is comparable to that of Ning Jing. Level 5 metal materials are indeed powerful.

At that moment, he glanced down at the time: 13:04
Lin Xian felt a slight chill, knowing that the kind of tide that felt like time was slowing down and space was intertwined was about to arrive. Without thinking any further, he immediately held his breath and focused his mind.

13: 04: 59
59
59
13:05! !
In an instant, an extremely cold feeling swept over them, and everyone felt a shiver run through their bodies. Shiori gritted her teeth and released her green supernatural power to envelop everyone.

[An anomaly detected]

Just then, Grace suddenly sounded an alarm. She stood in front of everyone, put her hands behind her back, and looked towards the supply rack in the center of the hall.

Lin Xian glanced at him, and instantly, his pupils contracted sharply.

On the wall that was previously completely bare, as the tide rose and fell, a huge, scarlet creature slowly grew out...

　Asking for a monthly ticket~
