Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 436 Seizing Food
At 10:25, the sky brightened, and all the eeriness in the world disappeared, leaving only the undercurrents still surging beneath the deep sea.

Lin Xian and his team departed from the underground base, soaring high above the sea and flying towards the central city where the Infinity was located.

"Unica 1".

“Feeding ground, no wonder there’s not a single person or even a zombie on such a large island. Could this Uniga No. 1 be the world-class giant ocean god?” Ning Jing analyzed at this moment.

"It's pretty close. This also explains how the Holy City Organization's large decoy bomb attracted that monster. It means that the Ocean God's activity area is within this sea area of ​​several hundred kilometers." Lin Xian, wearing power armor, flew at high speed at the forefront. He looked down at the black water below, then suddenly changed direction: "Let's go somewhere else."

"where?"

“Neptune,” Lin Xian said calmly, “If I’m not mistaken, the Falcon Squadron has quite a few secrets as well.”

Rumble~
Although it was already daylight, the weather was extremely gloomy today, as if a storm was approaching. Thunder rumbled continuously above the clouds. This situation reminded KIKI of yesterday's experience, and she immediately said...
"No wonder the radiation levels of the storms here are so high; it turns out the rain vapor is caused by the evaporation of thermonuclear gases from the seabed!"

That makes sense.

KIKI frowned, looking somewhat worried, and said to Lin Xian, "Lin Xian, now that I think about it, could the eruption of the Garan volcano also be related to that Uniga 1?"

"We'll have to ask someone else about that."

"Who?"

“Ryan,” Lin Xian said, “he seems to have quite a bit of insight into underwater volcanoes.”

KIKI sensed the hidden meaning in Lin Xian's words, so she stopped asking questions and the group crossed the western side of the island, flying towards the sea area where the Neptune was docked, following yesterday's navigation direction.

"That monster caused such a huge tsunami yesterday, hopefully their ship wasn't capsized."

Lin Xian said in a low voice that his worries were justified. Even before getting close, he could already see the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier anchored in the middle of the sea. Under the rolling waves, a large amount of material debris was floating around the carrier. A large supply ship had capsized, and many small aircraft were busy on the sea. At a glance, it was clear that the situation was not good. You have to remember that this happened yesterday.

The Neptune's port deck revealed its gruesome scars in the morning light. On the tilted runway, Ryan was directing the mechanical team to continue salvaging supplies. Erica and Azir's flight crew, along with several large ships of various types, were working hard to right the supply ship. For this purpose, almost the entire Falcon Fleet was mobilized.

"The surge has intensified! Drop the spare anchor chain!"

On the deck, the original plantation was almost completely destroyed. A group of survivors were clearing away the twisted wreckage of the arresting cables. At this moment, Vanessa, who was sitting on the edge of the watchtower operating a mobile terminal, looked up. The small enemy radar next to her ear responded and quickly acquired the target.

"Ryan, you were right, they're here."

After saying that, Vanessa immediately jumped down from the height, creating a strange ripple as she landed smoothly. On the other side, Ryan, wearing sunglasses, walked over followed by Geddy and Erica.

"It seems they've been in contact with people from the Holy City."

Wow!
The screeching sound of the thrusters ripped through the sky as Lin Xian and his six companions descended from the heavens and landed directly on the deck. Seeing the chaotic scene around them, Lin Xian removed his mask and asked, "Any casualties?"

“You’ve suffered quite a few injuries. A tsunami this big is no joke.” Ryan adjusted his sunglasses and smiled at Lin Xian. “As expected of the Swordholder, our reconnaissance aircraft detected that monster launching an attack on the west coast, yet you are all unharmed.”

Bang!
Suddenly, a cable that was towing a supply ship in the distance snapped and lashed into the sea like a whip, creating a ten-meter-high wall of waves.

Upon seeing this, Ryan's expression immediately changed: "Gadi, Vanessa, help!"

"it is good."

"No need." Lin Xian saw the situation when he arrived and immediately gave KIKI a look.

"Understood." KIKI smiled slightly, then immediately took to the air, directly hovering above the capsized large supply ship. Her eyes flashed with a powerful psychic light. She raised her hand, and her terrifying psychic power instantly grabbed the entire supply ship. Then, with a sudden burst of force, the supply ship emitted a metallic hum. Subsequently, all the tugboats and aircraft felt the towing progress accelerate. The supply ship made a series of groaning sounds and then began to unload from its capsized state.

A few minutes later, with KIKI's help, the capsized supply ship was finally righted, and a large amount of seawater flowed back down.

"Thank you." Seeing this, Ryan looked at Vanessa and the others and shrugged: "Sometimes combat power is not everything. Psychic powers are indeed powerful. Yesterday, that monster terrified us. It was a cosmic beast. Our aircraft carrier was like a paper boat in front of it."

“Then you’re very lucky. Do you know why I came to see you?” Lin Xian said.

Vanessa, Gedi, and the others all had different expressions as they looked at Lin Xian.

Ryan smiled slightly: "Are you ready to cooperate with us?"

Lin Xian shook his head.

Ryan's smile froze: "Then what is your purpose?"

Lin Xianyang pointed to KIKI, who was flying back: "Just as you saw, I saved your lives."

Ryan looked at Lin Xian hesitantly: "What do you mean?"

"Why do we need your help?" Erica, standing behind Ryan, looked puzzled. "Excuse me for being blunt, Captain Lin, aren't we the ones who are trapped on the island right now?"

"Then why don't you leave here, knowing that Mount Garan might erupt?"

Lin Xian's eyes were as cold as water as he swept his gaze over the core members of the Falcon Sea Group: "Is it for the crystal lattice, for the forbidden object, or for what lies beneath the island?"

Ryan's expression changed upon hearing this, and he looked at Lin Xian: "You guys have been to the island?"

"And while you're at it, take care of the people from Holy City." KIKI crossed her arms, tilted her little face up at him, and said, "This place has quite a few secrets, do you know something?"

Upon hearing this, Vanessa and the others exchanged glances with Ryan. Ryan's expression hardened slightly, and after a moment of silence, his gaze fell upon Lin Xian.
"Would you like to talk inside if it's convenient?"

"it is good."

In the bridge information room, Ryan said to Lin Xian, "We already know about your battle with the people of Holy City in the city yesterday. I'm sorry we couldn't help, because our situation was very bad at that time."

Lin Xian nodded: "I guessed it." With the appearance of the giant ocean god, the surrounding sea area is basically a hellish scene. Even from the current situation, it can be seen that if this sea group hadn't been lucky, it would have been wiped out yesterday.

Ryan continued, "I knew you would come looking for me, after all, you probably didn't believe any of that nonsense I said about hunting blood essences."

"Then you know why I said those things."

“Because of distrust,” Erica said bluntly from behind Ryan. “To be precise, we’re not sure if you’ll survive.”

"Are you aware of the Holy City's actions?" Ning Jing asked, frowning.

Ryan shook his head and smiled, "I don't know the specifics, but I've already warned you that the Holy City has its eyes on you."

“I didn’t expect them to make such a big move,” Vanessa said. “To be honest, if our surveillance cameras in the city hadn’t caught you, we would have thought you had all been wiped out by that monster.”

“How could that be? Our Infinite is amazing!” KIKI immediately retorted.

“That’s right, we are not afraid of mere demons!” Brother Huo also stepped forward and said.

Ryan's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Lin Xian. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Xian looked directly at him and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're stopping here not just for the hunt, but for some other reason, right?"

"Yes."

Ryan nodded: "The Neptune's propulsion system was severely damaged in a battle with an anomaly a week ago, so strictly speaking, we are anchored here. Fortunately, we are not far from Sea Rock Island."

"Fortunately?" Lin Xian's lips curled slightly. "Are you sure this is good news?"

Ryan shrugged. "It's better than being stuck in the depths of the Pacific with nowhere to land. Our aircraft and other ships are available, but we really don't want to give up the Neptune."

Lin Xian's gaze sharpened, and he said coldly, "Mr. Ryan, I've said it before, I'm here to save you, so I hope to hear a more truthful answer."

Ryan paused for a moment upon hearing this, looked at Lin Xian, and tentatively asked, "Captain Lin, how do you plan to save us?"

"In my opinion, you can't repair the Neptune in a short time, and there isn't enough time. Or are you planning to take the remaining five ships and the small submarine you're hiding underwater and run away now?"

Ryan's expression finally changed upon hearing this: "Why isn't there enough time? Do you know that Mount Garan is out of control?"

Lin Xian nodded, then took out a small detector from his pocket and said to him, "I also know that you have a forbidden item. Your ship is well-supplied with resources and you are also cooperating with the black market on crystal lattice business. I guess it might be related to this, but I don't care about that. I just want to tell you that there is a device under the island. It is because of that device that a lot of abyssal sea monsters have been attracted and are now having a party in the waters around Haiyan Island. There is also a giant ocean god here. I think we may not have 24 hours before the entire Haiyan Island is submerged."

"Consider this a token of my goodwill. If you find it useful, I hope it can help you." After saying this, Lin Xian immediately got up to leave.

Lin Xian had actually noticed quite a few things when he arrived yesterday, but he didn't really care. Now that he thinks about it, he guesses that Ryan is probably the one Erica mentioned, who is wary and cautious of their group. The main reason is probably that he is worried about getting into trouble. After all, their conflict with the Holy City is not like Lin Xian, the Swordholder, being the primary target.

"and many more."

Ryan called out to Lin Xian, who paused for a moment, then suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said...
"Has that implanter become so unstable after 24 hours?"

Lin Xian looked at him: "So you knew all along."

“Of course I know.” Ryan looked at Lin Xian and said something surprising: “I used to work for the Foundation, at that submarine base, which was... a special security department.”

"Are you from the foundation?" KIKI asked immediately.

“Before,” Ryan said, “I have no connection with that organization now. I could be considered, at best, a former asset?”

Lin Xian's gaze swept over the group behind Ryan: "Them?"

“They don’t count, it’s just me,” Ryan said.

Lin Xian then asked, "What else do you know?"

Ryan looked at Lin Xian and said frankly, "That's an experimental base. I only know that they are raising and enticing some strange creatures for experiments, but I have never seen them and do not know the mission content. However, every time that device stops, a large-scale sea earthquake will occur in the surrounding sea area, and then countless corpses of strange creatures will float to the surface, stinking and the storm will be accompanied by a large amount of radiation, which is somewhat similar to yesterday's situation."

Lin Xian frowned: "So you really want to extract blood essence?"

Upon hearing this, Ryan looked at Erica behind him. Erica silently raised her hand, and the mechanical gate on her left arm slowly opened. In an instant, a dark energy fluctuation that made the air instantly viscous surged out. Lin Xian and the others immediately changed color, feeling a strong forbidden energy.

He looked over and saw Erica take out a copper ball that looked like a water valve from her mechanical arm. It was only half the size of his palm. When this thing appeared, Lin noticed that some tiny things around him seemed to be attracted to it.

“We call it the Dark Energy Copper Sphere. Its characteristic is that it can quickly absorb physical dark energy and blood essence within a certain range, but the side effects are significant…” After saying that, Erica immediately put the copper sphere back and then breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Because the dark energy concentration is too high, people nearby will be easily pulled into a mutation state.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian, KIKI, and the others' expressions changed immediately. Lin Xian instantly understood why Ryan was being so cautious.

Even he, possessing such a forbidden item, would not easily reveal it to the outside world, let alone Ryan facing Lin Xian, the Swordholder with an elite team.

"No wonder you took such a risk."

Lin Xian then stared intently at Ryan: "You stayed at that base before, so you're bringing this forbidden item to try and make a fortune through danger?"

Ryan replied with a headache, "God, that was indeed the plan at first. For the sake of lattice evolution, level four blood essence was worth a try, but the situation of the Neptune, the Garan volcano, and those people from the Holy City... I can only say, bad luck."

"Unlucky? You're incredibly lucky." Lin Xian and KIKI exchanged glances, both looking at Ryan with disbelief.
"You want to steal the blood essence from the mouth of the Ocean God?"

“Not entirely,” Ryan said helplessly. “I just didn’t know that Uniga 1, which the Foundation was monitoring, was such a terrifying creature.”

Lin Xian's expression changed upon hearing this, thinking that Ryan was simply insane.

He looked at the guy's calm expression and didn't know whether to praise him as a genius or crazy. Holding such a powerful forbidden object, he actually thought of snatching food from the mouth of a world-class ferocious beast. Was this an idea that a human could come up with?
