Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 450 Earth Explosion
17:06分

Less than an hour before nightfall, Haiyan Island and its surrounding islands were already swallowed up by churning, inky clouds.

Dark clouds, like cotton wool soaked in oil, pressed heavily onto the sea. Gale-force winds whipped up ten-meter-high waves that crashed violently against the reefs. Salty, fishy vapor mixed with the smell of sulfur filled every inch of air. The vapors from the Garan volcano, mixed with thick smoke, turned dozens of miles of sea into a boiling hell, making it impossible to distinguish the horizon from the sea.

Haiyan Island is surrounded by sea, which becomes a gathering place for sea monsters during storms. Various creatures that inspire fear of giants appear from time to time in the shadows. A colorful serpentine shadow, like a mountain range, swims between the waves in the black water. Its dark blue scales stir up whirlpools, making it impossible to see its full appearance. Further away, a pale tentacle with a diameter of more than 30 meters pierces the sea surface and crashes down with a bang. The resulting wall of tide instantly swallows half of the island's lighthouse. A low-frequency hum vibrates in the air, which is the breathing of an indescribable behemoth in the deep sea.

At this moment, the entire island was experiencing a slight tremor. Dense black tides, like a torrent, were surging towards the sea rock prison in the southwest of the island through the mountains and valleys, seemingly eyeing some prey. Even underground, strange entities were digging and tearing the surface of the earth.

"That thing is invisible, use shockwave to scan it!"

Inside the geothermal well, Lin Xian shouted loudly. At this moment, thousands of drones, under Viola's control, rapidly moved towards the location of Lin Xian and his companion for defensive purposes. At the same time, KIKI, like a streak of light, rushed out from the gaps between the drones.

"Whoo~"

KIKI took a light breath in mid-air, and then clenched her hands in the air!
hum!
A soft humming sound rang out, and a nearly transparent spherical light screen rapidly contracted towards her heart, instantly transforming into a shockwave sphere emitting white fluorescence, radiating outwards from her center!
boom! ! ! !

The invisible shockwave spherically amplified and oscillated outwards in all directions, spreading out instantly with tremendous force over a diameter of hundreds or even thousands of meters!
The shockwave directly dispersed the heat waves and steam erupting from the geothermal well, spreading rapidly and violently in the form of a spherical wave. Countless falling rocks, including the guardrails and debris on top of the geothermal device, were all blown away by the impact!

【Target found! 】

Under this 360-degree impact, Viola's thousands of "eyes" captured the target within milliseconds. In an instant, all the Thunder Falcon drones simultaneously changed direction and blasted towards a broken passageway above.

The dense red pulse rays were precisely focused, bursting out with a piercing energy pulse sound. Just as the rays struck, a pale green bio-force field ripple suddenly appeared at the seemingly empty passage. The ripple spread and instantly outlined the silhouette of a completely transparent, twisted giant worm.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xian immediately realized that it was the monster hiding in the flood discharge channel. This thing was elusive. Qian Dele and Ning Jing's team had specifically searched for it before sealing off the upper passage, but they had no clue whatsoever. Who knew that this thing could not only be invisible, but even biological detectors could not detect it. It was truly bizarre!

"Found it! Catch it!"

"Alright!" Before Lin Xian could finish speaking, KIKI had already unleashed a surge of psychic power to directly grab the creature whose bio-force field radiance had not yet disappeared. The enormous force even stirred up a deep pit and crack on the wall of the broken passage, clearly indicating that KIKI had used all her strength.

With Lin Xian and KIKI's current strength, dealing with a special-level monster wouldn't be a problem if they went all out. Hearing the earth-shaking noise outside, Lin Xian knew he had to finish the fight quickly, so without any hesitation, he immediately raised his hand and pointed.

Gravitational lensing.

Black holes can be generated directly out of thin air across dimensions, effectively eliminating all fancy tricks!
hum!
A spatial hum resounded, and the surging magma waves in the geothermal well seemed to disappear instantly. Even the scorching light was directly swallowed up, and a distorted space was formed out of thin air in the area controlled by KIKI, like a black water vortex in the sky.

In an instant, the distorted dark area collapsed rapidly into a black hole devoid of light, emitting a shattering sound. The previously transparent area now revealed a continuous, distorted creature, resembling a giant tunnel worm. However, its entire body seemed to be enveloped by countless transparent, snake-like sea worms. After breaking free of its cloaking, the main body composed of these black worms twisted and changed color continuously. A large number of black worms began to be sucked in and shattered by the gravitational lens, and even the force field light on its body could not escape.

Seemingly sensing a threat, the giant black worm began to twist wildly, and the black snakes on its body seemed to disintegrate in different directions, spreading out and climbing up the rock wall of the geothermal well. They were densely packed and looked like they were melting and spreading out.

Seeing this, Lin Xian and KIKI seemed to have directly witnessed what the 'indescribable' thing was. It was not a specific creature at all, neither insect nor snake, and its body could penetrate and escape in any shape. At this moment, after Lin Xian's gravitational lens swallowed a hollow area, the remaining insects and snakes all broke away from the area swallowed by the gravitational lens, spreading out a 'snake wall' hundreds of meters long on the rock wall!
At the same time, countless black insects and snakes continued to crawl out of the passage, gradually covering a larger area. In the blink of an eye, the geothermal well wall in front of Lin Xian and KIKI had turned gray-black. With the wriggling movements of the insects and snakes, it was as if the rock wall had come alive, giving everyone goosebumps.

"How disgusting!" KIKI exclaimed in surprise. "How could these things possibly have given us a level 4 mark?"

"Whether it's a group or just one, this thing has already reached the standard of the special level in terms of size, and it can also become invisible. It looks like it won't be easy to deal with!" Lin Xian's forehead was covered in sweat. He put away the gravity lens and looked solemn.

If it were just one, he was absolutely confident he could take care of it in a short time. After all, he had tested his supercritical diffraction sword before, and as long as the skill was used accurately, killing monsters below S-rank was no problem at all.

But now, looking at the densely packed, wriggling 'insect walls', Lin Xian realized that things were not going well.

At this moment, the black insects had spread to almost half of the geothermal well dome, covering the rock walls that had been scorched red by the magma into a blackish-gray color. Then, the insects and snakes all turned their eyeless heads toward Lin Xian and KIKI, as if preparing to release something!
[Spiritual Energy Detection Alert: Attack Warning!]

"Hey girl, step back!" Lin Xian, who had also sensed the danger, immediately shouted to KIKI.

Vio manipulated all the drones to gather together. The Iron Curtain drones opened their defensive shields and precisely combined to form a huge metal hemisphere that blocked Lin Xian and KIKI's heads. At the same time, the instant KIKI flew back, Lin Xian also immediately activated the AT force field shield, and then the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring opened, expanding the force field shield!
Just then, millions of black insects and snakes on the rock wall dome suddenly erupted with high-energy dark energy surges. Countless silver-green threads, almost invisible to the naked eye, shot out towards Lin Xian's direction. These threads were like silk, made of liquid sprayed like sharp swords, and were extremely difficult to detect. However, as they approached the center, as the density increased, a silver-green mist appeared outside the drone's defensive shield, instantly bombarding the Iron Curtain drone's defensive shield.

At that moment, a loud thud was heard. The iron curtain shields, forged from high-strength metal, along with the drones, were instantly melted away by the attack array composed of millions of jet threads. As if wiped away by high energy, they disappeared in an instant. When those dense threads impacted Lin Xian's AT field shield, they caused an air blast that almost shattered eardrums in the previously silent space!
boom!
The silver light exploded, and in that instant, Lin Xian's AT field shield flickered. Lin Xian felt as if his power was almost drained. In reflex, the superstring reactor phase ring immediately lit up with three rings, which blocked the massive impact.

At this moment, the Iron Curtain drones that were instantly melted away were left with only countless metal fragments falling like rain.

"What a freakish spray!"

At this moment, Lin Xian's heart pounded. The attack power of the special-level was not to be underestimated. This unprecedented attack method had caused him a great loss. Even if he was hiding in the Infinity without the AT field shield, he would not be able to withstand the dense spray of insects and snakes. At this moment, Lin Xian regretted not calling Huo Ge or Ryunosuke. But it was too late now.

"Wow, your drone..."

KIKI immediately panicked. She hadn't brought her VK electric knife either. In this critical moment, she glanced at the scorching magma below the passage, let out a soft shout, and used her telekinesis to grab a huge, red-hot magma ball from the surging magma well below and throw it into the air. This magma ball, like a small sun, illuminated the geothermal well, radiating intense heat. Then, KIKI gritted her teeth, raised her right fist, and used her telekinesis to smash it towards the magma ball!
Bang!
The psychic punch, with the force of ten thousand tons, struck the magma sphere like a firework, instantly spraying high-temperature magma across the dome and rock walls!
Wow!

The next moment, lava rained down like a storm, covering most of the insects and snakes clinging to the rock wall and ceiling. The green bio-force field shield on the entire wall flickered wildly, and the whole rock wall ignited. Countless burning insects and snakes rained down, twisting and twirling in the air before falling into the lava below. Lin Xian hadn't expected KIKI to use such a move, and it seemed quite effective. But when he looked up, countless insects and snakes were still clinging to the rock wall. Most strangely, even after killing so many insects and snakes, the dark marker detectors on his and KIKI's power armor were still flashing with a level 4 mark.

At this moment, Lin Xian realized that the thing in front of him was very likely some kind of independent life form, and that it might be necessary to completely destroy it or that it might have some kind of "subject".

"Lin...Lin Xian, *chuckle*"

The signal, affected by the geothermal well, came through intermittently to Chen Sixuan's voice: "There's...something's happening here...we've found something..."

"Teacher Chen?" Chen Sixuan's voice made Lin Xian's heart tighten. He looked at the black insects that were still densely gathering above his head and realized that danger had descended both underwater and outside. Whatever these things were, they had to be dealt with immediately.

"Lin Xian, what should we do?" Seeing the situation, KIKI was also at a loss, and her face changed.

I used all drones for photoelectric visual scanning, detecting a total of 316508 physical organisms, excluding those already eliminated and any organisms that may still be present in the passageway.

Viola calmly reported to Lin Xian: "There are currently only 914 Thunder Falcon 2000 pulse drones left. Without considering the bio-field, it will take me at least 173 seconds to clear them all."

shhhhh!

While Viola was calculating, all the Thunderhawk drones were already firing at full power, precisely capturing every insect-snake. Under the sweep of red pulse rays, a large number of insect-snakes were falling.

Viola continued to correct him, while standing in front of Lin Xian. [Clearance rate 45.1%, time needs to be doubled. Based on the fluctuations in this creature's spirit-clearing value, I deduce that there might be a control center similar to mine, and we are searching for it with all our might.]

"That's too late."

Lin Xian glanced around and immediately said decisively, "By the time we finish killing this thing, the strange creatures outside will have already rushed in."

After saying that, he looked at KIKI: "There's no time. Let Viola hold the line. KIKI, dig out the reactor!"

"No markings?" KIKI was surprised to hear this.

"Let's take a gamble!" Lin Xian's gaze swept over the geothermal well, and he said in a stern voice, "Let's just blow this place up. No matter how many monsters come, we can just use the Heaven and Earth Coexistence technique, which will definitely clear the mark."

"Then we're gone too?" Kiki's eyes widened.

Lin Xian looked at KIKI: "Have you forgotten how we escaped from Baicheng?"

"You mean..."

KIKI reacted immediately and flew out without hesitation. She hovered above the boiling lava pool and pressed her arms down sharply!
boom!
The psychic field transformed into a giant hand that plunged into the surging lava. The titanium alloy shell of the Earth's core reactor, which was submerged in the face below, groaned in the magma. The columnar structure, weighing thousands of tons, was forcibly pulled up, and the resulting lava waterfall splashed like blood and tears onto the swarm of insects and snakes, evaporating into a wall of acrid, pungent mist.

"Hold on for 30 seconds."

Lin Xian gave the order to Viola and immediately jumped down. The mechanical heart roared, the superstring reactor phase rainbow ring was fully activated, and blue and white data streams gushed out from his pupils, transforming into a materialized cubic grid that enveloped the reactor and directly covered the Dragon-type shipborne reactor configuration on it.

Then Lin Xian raised his hand and waved, and the mechanical arm extended out of the Black Star Forging Furnace space. The high-energy laser beam cut through the reactor shell, exposing the honeycomb structure of the fuel rod array inside to the scorching air. The moment his fingertip touched the central control module, pale golden patterns spread like living things, transforming the confinement field originally used for geothermal conversion into a chain reaction catalyst.

"Chain reaction catalyst at 99% load warning! Bioenergy reaction exceeds threshold!" Viola's alarm rang out simultaneously with the roar from the top of the rock—the remaining 300,000 insect snakes suddenly converged into a drill with a diameter of 20 meters, carrying silver-green venomous stingers as it plummeted down!

"Let's go!" Lin Xian quickly covered the reactor with metal materials, then shouted to KIKI.

"This thing requires a critical reaction to detonate. How do you plan to detonate it?"

Lin Xian turned around and his gaze sharpened: "I also have a large 'detonator' that can be manually timed, which can buy us some time."

"detonator?"

Buzz!

KIKI looked up and saw a giant white missile slowly emerging from the lightning storm surrounding the mechanical gate of the Black Star Forge above. Her pupils constricted sharply.

"Hyperion Directional Confinement Cannon!?"

“This is definitely enough to trigger a fusion chain reaction.” Lin Xian’s eyes sharpened. “With a ground explosion of this scale, we’ll probably have to rush out of the erupting volcano.”
