Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 359: Comprehensive
Dawn City, 5:30 AM
The cold rain fell like silver threads, refracting a hazy glow in the neon-lit air. The entire city seemed to be immersed in an electronic ocean of indigo and scarlet. The old city below 100 meters was crowded and noisy like a honeycomb, while the high-rise buildings above 100 meters were like silent giants, overlooking this steel jungle gnawed by the apocalypse.

Jian Xuwei stood on the balcony of a curved high-rise building in the Star Harbor District. The hem of her black trench coat was lifted by the damp and cold night wind, revealing a tactical bodysuit with dark silver metallic fibers lining it.

She stood there motionless, her body slightly tense. Her tight-fitting clothes outlined the graceful curves of her hips, her beautiful long legs stood straight, and her high-set breasts pushed the neckline open, revealing her snow-white and deep breasts.

"Yongcheng Port has been attacked by the Red Man Ghost for the second time today. The peak power of the attacking creature has been detected to exceed the Destruction level." A muffled mechanical hum came from behind. The voice of a man covered in dark red power armor came from behind the mechanical mask. Energy lines flowed slowly from the gaps in the armor: "After killing for an hour and a half, their lifespan ended and they died. We lost four engineers, and the Phoenix Society lost more than sixty people."

"Did the sender detect it?"

"Still the same, a passive drone."

"understood."

She didn't turn around, but gently tapped the balcony railing with her index finger, which was wearing a black tactical glove. Amidst the sound of metal rubbing against leather, the man in heavy power armor lowered his head and retreated as if receiving a silent command, the hydraulic joints grinding out a mechanical crushing sound.

Jian Xuwei frowned slightly as she looked at the distant outline of the city. Two giant city walls, like cliffs in the world, completely separated the inner city, the old city, and the outer city of Dawn. The dense base weapon towers and signal lights of the outposts on the city walls flickered on and off like breathing, extending to the end of her vision. The No. 1 city wall seemed like an insurmountable chasm, not only keeping zombies and ordinary strange creatures out, but also seemingly imprisoning the people inside the city forever in this apocalyptic city.

The neon lights suddenly started flashing violently.

A dark figure swooped down from the sky, tearing an arc through the rain, and landed steadily on the railing next to Jian Xuwei. The figure stepped into the light and shadow, revealing a handsome face that, though young, bore the marks of countless hardships.

Jiang Yun.

"The Silent City in the Luling Forest was activated nine hours ago. Your people in Jinhai should have received the news by now," Jiang Yun said quickly, shaking the raindrops off his windproof jacket.

“The Silent City has already transmitted regional radio waves. The main city and the Silent City have been connected. Shinji Mochizuki actually managed to open that city out of the Star Abyss.”

"That wasn't something he drove alone."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "There is also a super-large train convoy, but Silent City seems to be protecting it and hasn't publicized it, but the people in the city already know about it."

He looked at Jian Xuwei as he spoke: "It's Longshan No. 1 and Infinite!"

"Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan?" Jian Xuwei finally turned her head to the side. The huge holographic billboard on the exterior wall of the high-rise building splashed red light onto half of her face, while the other half was immersed in shadow.

"Correct."

Jian Xuwei's eyes flickered: "Just now, I heard that Zhou Mingyuan invited me to Silent City tomorrow. It's said that he wants to discuss a large-scale manufacturing project with Silent City. People from the Wen family will also be there."

"Ah."

Jiang Yun chuckled lightly: "The Federation people are quick on their feet. It seems they're not only targeting your Finger Group, but also Silent City."

Upon hearing this, Jian Xuwei's expression darkened slightly, and she looked up at the night sky: "Star Abyss No. 5 is getting closer and closer. Phoenix will gradually withdraw. In a while, the Federation will take over the evacuation points of Luling, Baisha, Changuan, Xilin, Jinhe, Kangcheng, and Quancheng. Yongcheng Port is only a matter of time. But strangely, since we came out of Silent City, the people in the underground city seem to be... a little nervous."

"Really?" Jiang Yun frowned. "It's not because of Lin Xian, is it?"

Do you think Crimson World has its eye on Lin Xian?

"One hundred percent." Jiang Yun blurted out, tilting his head and letting out a long sigh.

"Mechanical superpowers, and they're connected to Silent City again, so Lin Xian must have already clashed with the people from the Crimson World."

"Should we meet him? But he probably doesn't want to be in the Federation's sights." Jian Xuwei looked at Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun nodded: "Then it seems I need to go and meet this old friend before they enter Jinhai..."

“Jin Hai…” Jian Xuwei’s cold and arrogant brows furrowed slightly: “The Phoenix Society should be arriving soon. The abnormal expansion of Star Abyss No. 5 has caused disturbances in the other 12 Star Abysses. Do you think the Phoenix Society will confront Dawn City head-on?”

Jiang Yun sighed softly, looked into the distance, and said helplessly.

"Who knows? Natural disasters are troublesome enough, but there are also man-made disasters."

……

The sky was still shrouded in darkness, and the silent city, which had just escaped the danger zone, resembled a metropolis that never sleeps, bustling with activity everywhere.

In the Cloud District, in the Japanese-style courtyard, the once quiet and secluded house was now empty. The four walls had been transformed into holographic light screens, and tens of thousands of surveillance images from various areas of Silent City converged into countless blue light dots. Everything was being rapidly processed by Shinji Mochizuki's quantum core.

Shinji Mochizuki stood in the center, watching the vehicles and convoys gradually entering the Silent City parking spaces and ground shelters, seemingly deep in thought.

The old man who had been fishing put away his fishing rod and sat quietly in the corner of the hall, pruning the withered flowers with a pair of scissors, making a rustling sound.

"You shouldn't hesitate," the old man suddenly said in a low, hoarse voice.

"I possess an independent thinking personality. The adjective 'hesitation' merely measures the time it takes for me to calculate, and does not represent my emotions or stance," Shinji Mochizuki replied calmly.

"Is it news from Dawn City? What do you think about it?"

"Preliminary calculations suggest that the chances of Silent City successfully entering Yongcheng Port are no more than 8%."

Shinji Mochizuki looked at the holographic screen in front of him and said, "This does not include the interference factors related to darkness. The reason why the Crimson World is expanding the No. 5 Star Source is also a variable. On this issue, the conservative plan should be to bypass Dawn City and unite with the Phoenix Society. However, I have performed 36 travel calculations, and the probability of Silent City entering the polar region is the same as that of Eternal City Port."

“When too much key information is lacking, calculations and deductions become meaningless.” The white-haired old man lowered his head and trimmed the withered branches, saying in a hoarse voice, “Trouble, really trouble. You can avoid the Dark Marker, but you can’t avoid people. Dawn City will not give up the fight for Yongcheng Port. It’s the foundation of productivity. If you reveal your intention to enter Yongcheng Port, Dawn City will think you want to negotiate.”

"Trade, resources, irrelevant." Shinji Mochizuki's expression was calm. A mechanical pillar slowly rose from the ground, inside which was a cryogenic chamber containing the brownish-red flesh tissue [Dark Corrosion Cells]. He looked at the culture dish and said softly, "The Crimson World is conducting dangerous research. If they are cooperating with Dawn City, then there must be some conditions that outweigh the survival risks brought about by the expansion of Star Abyss No. 5. This may be the key."

After speaking, he turned around, his nano-pupils slightly narrowed, and said...
“Given the current situation, the Phoenix Society has gradually withdrawn from the Asia-Pacific region. Without a threat to its survival, it will not intervene in the area radiating from Dawn City. Therefore, without other variables, Silent City cannot avoid this storm.” “Hmm…” the old man hummed softly, remaining silent.

"Do you think my analysis is emotional?" Shinji Mochizuki asked the old man calmly.

"No, I added some emotionally charged words, but it's still just a cold, lifeless machine," the old man replied calmly.

Shinji Mochizuki smiled and raised a finger: "Let me try, I'll rephrase it."

He seemed intrigued, his face turning serious as he spoke in an analytical and somber tone: "Dawn City left the Finger Group to carry out the Sky Dome Project and starship manufacturing, and now, immediately after we left Star Abyss, they've sent a cooperation invitation. Could this be related to our involvement in crucial research within the Crimson World of White City? Hmm, this deduction is the most far-fetched but crucial."

“Even from a rational perspective, Silent City itself is a crucial source of productivity for Dawn City. How could Chu Zhaonan easily let us into Yongcheng Port? Let me think, when people from Dawn City come to us, could it be to offer a large number of starship transport construction orders that Silent City cannot complete in a short time? Perhaps they will also provide us with a portion of the Jin Hai industrial base? Oh right, it's also possible that they will let us use Yongcheng Port, but our second city will have to dock at Dawn City first for some reason. That's enough to give us a headache, right…”

"You've imitated it poorly." The old man continued pruning the flowers. "Do you know why?"

Shinji Mochizuki, with his hands tucked into his sleeves and a smile on his face, walked over and squatted down in front of the old man, saying, "My analysis has no flaws?"

"Humans can't be that comprehensive; they all have their own perspectives when considering issues," the old man said.

Shinji Mochizuki nodded solemnly. He seemed about to say something but then stopped himself, stood up, and turned back to speak.

"Lin is very thorough. He has a critical moment and a strategy that can save lives. Apart from the emotional factors he shows, wow... he is more inhuman than me."

The old man crisply cut off a dead branch with his scissors, paused slowly for a moment, and then continued pruning.

……

Inside the train parking area, hundreds of engineers from Longshan No. 1 were already busy. Qian Suxun, the person in charge of the Technology Research City, was leading a group of engineers from Silent City, along with hundreds of drones and construction vehicles of various types, to begin entering the site to repair and modify the train for Shi Diyuan and his team.

With the livelihoods of over a thousand people to manage, Shi Diyuan and Ning Jing, both pragmatic by nature, immediately launched the all-terrain drive transformation project.

Besides Longshan No. 1, several other train convoys also underwent the Silent City renovation project, all for a fee. In addition, some other convoys, due to significant losses, did not plan to carry out drive modifications, but instead invested their funds in weapon modifications. After all, once they arrived in Jinhai, they planned to head north directly to follow the Dawn Center. This route passed through several coastal metropolises, which was relatively less risky than the edge of Star Abyss.

On the other hand, the Queen Mo, which had no such concerns, appeared much quieter. Its technologically advanced train design was unique among all the doomsday trains, and it was quietly parked in a corner.

Except for carriage number one, all the other carriages had their lights off and were being prepared. However, countless whispers were taking place in those carriages where the lights were off.

"Can you believe it? We actually made it out of the Star Abyss alive."

"What's there to be afraid of? Following Queen Mo means you're lucky to be alive..."

"Ugh, it's so lonely. What do you think that woman was thinking? She brought over a dozen pretty women on the bus, but wouldn't let us interact with each other..."

"Exactly, those women are all women who have been used by other men. Even if they are teammates, it's still okay for them to have some interaction, right?"

"But didn't the boss say she's a germaphobe and doesn't allow men and women to mess around in her car, which is why she made this rule?"

"Bullshit, she did it on purpose. I heard from Xiao Ma from the car team next door that men who suppress their yang energy will have faster superpowers and genetic evolution. I guess that's why she did it."

"My God, Queen Mo is actually thinking about our health..."

"Dude, you're being too sycophantic, you might suffocate."

"However, the boss said we'll have free time tomorrow. I heard there's a special brothel street in Silent City..."

"Wow, we definitely have to go check it out!"

"You can go ahead. In my heart, there is only Queen Mo. She is the most perfect woman. Her figure is invincible. Her breasts, her butt, her face—damn, it would be worth dying for her even once."

"Sure enough, her figure is too unfair, I can't take it anymore..." Someone hurriedly turned over.

At this moment, the sycophant spoke again: "What I can't stand the most is the way she looks at me like I'm trash, it's just too..."

"Are you perverted?"

……

Inside carriage number one, Monica was bathing naked in a luxurious bathtub, with red wine placed beside her and steam rising from it. She closed her eyes slightly, completely ignoring the lewd words around her. The reason she used her superpower was because Zhou Lei, who was not even detectable by radar, was being held alone in one of the carriages.

Monica is not only a woman with a strong desire for control, but also a woman with strong principles. Since she has taken on this responsibility for Lin Xian, she will certainly not let anything go wrong and thus ruin her reputation as Queen Monica.

Soft music played in the carriage. As Monica enjoyed her bath, she recalled the details of her escape from Star Abyss, and her usually calm heart began to stir with emotion.

Lin Xian's face appeared in her slightly closed eyes, and she parted her lips slightly to speak.

"Lin Xian, Lin Xian, I always told you that I, Monica, never misjudge a man. So... how can I win over a man like you?"

She picked up the red wine, but her thoughts were suddenly interrupted. Monica, who was lying in the bathtub, suddenly focused her eyes and quietly emerged from the water like a slippery snake.

At that moment, her sonic blade ability keenly detected a sneaky figure outside the Queen Mo's carriage!
　I'm out today and only managed to update this short 4K chapter on my phone, which I really apologize to everyone. Consider this a leave of absence. I will definitely make up for the missed chapters and extra chapters this month. I currently owe two extra chapters.
