Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 470 Reunion with Hua Xiaoling

On the Sky Train, Chen Sixuan, who had been sleeping for a few hours, suddenly woke up with a start. Looking at the brand-new and spacious living cabin, she slowly sat up and scanned the room. Now she lived alone in the room, not with Lin Xian. She had a lot more space to move around. Chen Sixuan rubbed her face, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

So she got up and reached into the nano-charging box. The silver nano armor quickly covered her fingers and began to climb, soon covering her body and perfectly showcasing her curvaceous figure. Then, bright stripes appeared on the nano armor, making it look like a full-body tight-fitting undergarment.

In fact, these nano-components can be reassembled at any time into an Executor X0 armor with a high-energy combat system and flight capabilities. Although its protective capabilities are not as good as the Black Dragon armor of the building or Ning Jing's Executor X1, it is superior in terms of lightness and high agility. Its daily protection is not weak either. Except for taking a shower and sleeping, Chen Sixuan has gotten used to wearing this nano armor as clothing, which is in line with her increasingly cautious personality.

Stepping out of the room, Chen Sixuan noticed that Lin Xian's living quarters across the way were not lit, so she went up to the bridge, where only Viola was present.

Where is Lin Xian?

Chen Sixuan asked.

……

In the Vegas amusement park, the night wind howled through the cracks of the dilapidated and decaying rides, and the former dolls and murals exuded an eerie chill in the darkness, much like the feeling that Hua Xiaoling's presence in this place gave Lin Xian at this moment.

Lin Xian's first thought was that he might have some item on him that caused him to be followed. Another, bolder guess was that Hua Xiaoling had appeared here with the 'decree' of the Dark Civilization.

He took a step forward, calmly stepping onto the precisely flying drone before slowly landing, his gaze sweeping over the woman who seemed incredibly mysterious to him.

When Lin Xian met Hua Xiaoling for the second time, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity about her. It was hard to describe. Hua Xiaoling was not particularly beautiful, just average-looking. Apart from her deep eyes that seemed to be filled with a subtle light, she had nothing special about her. But Lin Xian knew that this woman and the foundation behind her were a very mysterious entity that might have a crucial impact on the survival of humanity.

pat.

Lin Xian landed in one step, and the two looked at each other across the dark amusement park. The light of the night sky was hazy and thin, casting a layer of silver gauze on them.

I know you're curious.

Hua Xiaoling was the first to break the silence. Just like when the two first met, she gave Lin Xian a friendly smile: "Are you curious why I'm here? Did I put a tracking device on you? Are you curious if I'll attack you and your team and cause a fight here? If you're still worried about these things, I can tell you that nothing will happen tonight. I have no hostility towards you."

"Is this what your so-called master wants?" Lin Xian asked in return.

Hua Xiaoling's gaze swept across Lin Xian's face, then she smiled faintly: "Do you remember when we first met, I told you about the mission of our SIID Foundation?"

Lin Xian looked at her and asked, "What do you want to say?"

“I want to tell you that you don’t need to be wary of me. Our goal is to save humanity,” Hua Xiaoling added. “To save humanity with the power of humanity.”

After speaking, she gave Lin Xian a slight nod, then turned and walked in one direction, saying as she went.
"The Crimson World is indeed an organization that we created and supported, including the Holy City Organization and the Divine Revelation. However, the diversity of human thinking leads to different understandings of the end times and the apocalypse. This arrogance is also one of the drawbacks that hinder social development. Of course, the will to survive in the face of life and death is a consensus among humankind, which is why the Phoenix Council was able to quickly unite people and lead the last human survivors in a global migration."

Lin Xian followed behind her and said, "Are you trying to say that what the Crimson World and the Holy City Organization did was not your foundation's original intention, or are you trying to distance yourself from it?"

“You can think of it that way.” Hua Xiaoling walked ahead and said calmly, “I’m just saying all this to lay the groundwork for communicating with you.”

"and then?"

"Didn't you want to learn about the secrets of the Dark Civilization?" Hua Xiaoling stopped and glanced back at him before continuing to walk forward.

Lin Xian's expression turned slightly grim. He had already secretly sent messages to Viola and the Sky Train. Looking at Hua Xiaoling's back, he took a deep breath and continued to follow.

Hua Xiaoling didn't continue speaking, but continued walking in the dark amusement park, her footsteps treading on withered leaves. There were no zombies or strange creatures along the way. The two walked like this for two minutes, one in front of the other, and then turned into an open area.

At this moment, Lin Xian's eyes narrowed. The open area in front of him seemed to be a performance area in front of the amusement park. But to his surprise, a brand-new tactical tent stood strangely in the open space. The tent was brightly lit and there was no one around.

Hua Xiaoling walked to the tent, pulled back the curtain, and gestured to Lin Xian to invite him to enter.

"Come in and sit."

Lin Xian's Mechanical Heart scanned the tent and found only some holographic devices and lighting and power systems. Apart from that, there was only a simple table and chairs, and no other weapons or similar items.

"You've come all this way just to invite me for tea?"

Hua Xiaoling said, "Chen Yanxiu's team was responsible for the order to strangle you in the last round, but they failed. Some people within our organization do see you as an enemy of the evolution of civilization, but I have also reminded them that these methods are not enough to pose a threat to you."

She looked at Lin Xian: "Or rather, killing you was not actually the Lord's true intention."

Hua Xiaoling said, "You must be curious about the operating logic of the geothermal base on the outlying island. Is it for surveillance, guidance, or some kind of research? I have to say that your escape from there is nothing short of a miracle. At least from a human perspective, it is a small victory in the battle between biological species. Now I can tell you that the real purpose of the geothermal base is to use Uniga 1 on Haiyan Island to eliminate the strange entities that are being transmitted from Star Abyss 13 and Star Abyss 8 to the continental shelf, in order to reduce the impact on the coastal areas of the Dragon Kingdom."

"Huh?" Lin Xian frowned.

Hua Xiaoling's words startled Lin Xian; he thought he had misheard.

"Have you ever thought about this? A large number of high-level anomalies based on marine life are spreading outwards in various star abysses, but why hasn't Yongcheng Port suffered a serious impact on the sea?" Hua Xiaoling said with a smile. "During the Dawn City battle, you faced attacks from three sides, but only the eastern direction of Yongcheng Port remained quiet. Doesn't that explain the problem?"

Lin Xian remained silent. He and the Phoenix Society had considered this issue before, and Ye Lan had also made contingency plans for it. Hearing what Hua Xiaoling said now gave him a jolt. His subconscious told him that he shouldn't believe this woman's words, but they seemed to make some sense.

Those large, bizarre creatures, including A-level and special-level ones, were hunted down and eliminated by the Ocean God in the vicinity of Sea Rock Island. Naturally, their impact on the coastline was smaller. After all, Lin Xian had personally witnessed the terrifying scale of those monsters marching on the seabed like an army on land.

"I can also tell you that the black gear you obtained is a Class A forbidden object, two levels higher than the containment level of your 1542 radio and the blink bullets. It is one of the most important treasures of Chen Yanxiu, the leader of the Holy Revelation. The method of containment requires a death, but its characteristic is that the carrier can travel through dimensions in the Star Abyss. In other words, it can ignore the influence of the Star Abyss and see the world in higher dimensions. However, the logic of the forbidden object itself is that the four-dimensional dark world is anchored to the singularity in the three-dimensional world, which is why it releases the characteristic power of the higher-dimensional world. This forbidden object will mirror the time of travel and, after the countdown ends, will mirror and collapse the time of the dimension you originally traveled through. Simply put, it is the time in the four-dimensional world being released in the three-dimensional world, which is similar to the eruption of the world inside the Star Abyss. Do you understand now?" Lin Xian frowned and did not react for a moment.

Hua Xiaoling glanced at him, said nothing, and turned to walk into the tent.

Lin paused for a moment, curious about what she had just said, and then followed her inside.

Lifting the tent flap reveals a brightly lit space. A clean, flat carpet is set up with an empty mahogany tea table, two tea chairs (one for the host and one for the guest), and a projector that appears to be suspended in mid-air like a spherical drone. Nothing else is present.

"So you really are inviting me for tea." Lin Xian glanced at the time: "Is this a bit inappropriate?"

Hua Xiaoling had already sat down at the tea table. She silently pulled out an ebony tea tray from under the table, her movements as gentle as brushing away dust. As her fingertips brushed over the teaware, two teacups made of bluish-white jade quietly stood still, their thin, translucent bodies like newly formed ice shards. The teapot was a plain purple clay pear-shaped teapot, its clay color like iron.

Like a skilled tea master, she calmly began brewing the tea, saying as she did so.

"It won't take up too much of your time, and you don't need to send your team over. Firstly, we won't resort to violence, and secondly, I don't want to disturb your peace. Of course, I'm not here to reminisce, since we don't have much to renew. I will naturally state my purpose, but I need you to put aside some of your reservations, such as those drones and that lady who was aiming a sniper rifle at us."

Lin Xian shrugged, walked over and sat down in front of Hua Xiaoling. Looking at Hua Xiaoling amidst the rising steam of tea, he said, "You know, it wasn't easy for us to survive, so it's normal for us to be wary of you."

Hua Xiaoling smiled but didn't say anything more.

"You just said that containing the Black Gear requires deaths, but that doesn't seem right," Lin Xian said. "When I faced Chen Yanxiu, I had the situation under control, and no one died, right?"

Hua Xiaoling picked up the fairness cup, her wrist hovering three inches above the teacup. The tea flowed like a stream, its arc illuminating the jade cup, the water level precisely level, not a drop touching the rim. Having done all this, she pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Lin Xian and spoke calmly.

"Before this, hadn't you killed anyone?"

Lin Xian paused slightly, as if suddenly remembering something.

In the monitoring hall on the upper level of the deep-water port, they did indeed kill a humanoid experimental subject.

“A silver pocket watch…” Lin Xian frowned. “No wonder, that guy was waiting for me on purpose.”

At this moment, Lin Xian felt a chill run down his spine. He realized he had stepped into a huge pit. This guy surnamed Chen was really not simple. A black gear almost ruined his efforts, and he even lost the South Heavenly Gate. If he hadn't calmed down at the last moment, he would have been teleported to the South Heavenly Gate and faced the erupting dark torrent, becoming part of the wreckage ravaged by space monsters along with the South Heavenly Gate.

Having figured this out, Lin Xian turned his attention to Hua Xiaoling: "So, you came to me on behalf of the Foundation to communicate with the Phoenix Society?"

"You can understand that."

Lin Xian frowned: "I don't understand, how can you worship that dark civilization as the main force while simultaneously helping humanity?"

He glanced at the teacup in front of him, his gaze icy: "Don't tell me you're playing some kind of spy game."

Hua Xiaoling looked up at Lin Xian and smiled, “Captain Lin, you should perhaps realize that the logic of the world is not black and white, friend or foe, good or bad. The survival of human civilization is not just about escaping Earth or destroying the dark civilization.

Lin Xian frowned: "Are you referring to the descent, fusion, and unification?"

He had already heard Chen Yanxiu mention this, and Gu Zheng had also considered it.

Hua Xiaoling's gaze shifted slightly, but instead of offering an explanation, she turned to look at the floating holographic device beside her and spoke softly.

"Don't you want to know what the Dark Civilization and Star Abyss really are? Tonight you might have a completely new understanding."

Lin Xian's expression tightened, and he also looked at the device at the same time.

The spherical holographic device resembled a flying drone, but the projected eyes on it were hollow and deep. When it hovered there quietly, Lin Xian's scan was indeed a mechanical projection device, but when Lin Xian looked at it, he clearly felt a sense of goosebumps as if he was being stared at intently.

At this moment, as Hua Xiaoling's voice fell, a blue arc of light began to flash in the center of the projection device. Then, a holographic light and shadow began to gradually unfold and expand, instantly enveloping the entire tent space. The light screen, which should have been blue lines, began to become colorful, as if a world with extremely high-definition precision had been projected out.

Lin Xian felt a dazzling light flash before his eyes. He subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils immediately contracted.

He was still sitting in that chair, but the table, chairs, and tea set in front of him were gone, leaving only Hua Xiaoling standing with her back to him, having changed from sitting to standing.

Most strangely, Hua Xiaoling was completely naked and smooth at this moment, as if she had never been there before. Then, under Lin Xian's surprised gaze, she slowly turned around to look at him.

At that moment, Lin Xian felt a cold sweat break out all over his body, and his hair stood on end.

Hua Xiaoling had a smile on her face, but when Lin Xian saw that face that had been so clear and familiar just moments before, an absurd thought welled up in his mind.

That is, the Hua Xiaoling in the light and shadow before our eyes is not the real Hua Xiaoling.

It is a different kind of creature.

An existence from the darkness.

She's gazing at him!
