Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 483 The Second Batch of Evolution

"Oh dear!" Sasha exaggeratedly fanned herself with her hand, her face covered in condensation from the swirling hot and cold mist. She then shouted angrily, "Lu the Charlatan, your act is so convincing... you're going to dry up the entire Pacific Ocean!"

"That's outrageous. He burned one of the hibernation pods. If it weren't for the sensitive fire suppression system, the entire hibernation pod section would have been destroyed."

KIKI, hands on her hips, said with a disgruntled expression, "Hey, we still need to cultivate the crystal lattice, don't burn this place down."

After speaking, he immediately raised his hand and waved it, and the shockwave swept through, clearing the view in the hall.

At this moment, everyone saw that Lu Xingchen in the distance was still standing with his hands behind his back, facing away from everyone. However, his clothes were now charred and soaked, and he looked like a burnt roast chicken.

"Wait, wait!"

Seeing the mist blown away, Lu Xingchen suddenly tensed up and lit the fire again. At this moment, Lin Xian directly raised his hand and shot the nano-inner garment onto Lu Xingchen. The silver nanoparticles were released rapidly and instantly wrapped him and the charred pieces of clothing on his body.

Lin Xian had already figured out that this guy's last appearance wasn't just about showing off. Judging from the current situation, his clothes were probably burned to shreds during the evolution due to his excitement. Now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, and having witnessed Ning Jing's sudden change in body size, he put on a Vulcan-like pose to cover up the embarrassing situation where he only had a few charred pieces left on his body that couldn't even cover his buttocks.

Lin Xian saw that the fire on this guy's body had been extinguished and he was still facing away from everyone. He thought that this must be the reason. They were all men. If it were him, he would also be embarrassed to turn around. It would be more dignified to be seen with his buttocks than to be seen with his other testicles, especially for someone as concerned about his image as Lu Xingchen.

Fortunately, he was enveloped in steam, and the tattered clothes and charred body made him unrecognizable.

Upon seeing that he was covered in a nano-inner garment, Lu Xingchen, who had his back to everyone, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately regained his composure, smiled, turned around to look at Lin Xian, and said calmly.
"These clothes are made of extraordinary materials. They must have been made by Brother Lin with painstaking effort to restrain the violent firepower of my body after I emerge from seclusion. Brother Lin is very thoughtful."

Lin Xian smiled silently at him and said, "You're too kind."

Ding Junyi, who was standing to the side, picked up the Spirit Value Detector, adjusted her glasses and said, "26500. Your own dark energy peak has already reached the Transcendent level. According to the Phoenix Society's new standards, this number ranks among the top in the world of ability users."

"26500!!!" Luo Yang exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this, "Brother Huo is awesome!"

Xiao Qing, standing in the crowd, also looked at Lu Xingchen with astonishment. Although the expected peak ability might increase by 100%, it was truly incredible that Huo Ge's ability had increased from 12500 to 26500.

"Not bad. I only have 18,000, while you have 7500 more than Ryunosuke's 19,000. It seems that the leap in crystal evolution is enough to greatly increase combat power!"

Qian Dele rested his chin on his hand and said calmly, "At the rate of lattice energy increase, it shouldn't be long before we break through 3."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen walked over to Ding Junyi with a beaming smile and said, "Director Ding, is it true? I only had 12500 before..."

Although it was a question, it was clear that Lu Xingchen was extremely excited. His combat power had soared, which was exactly what he had been looking forward to. Not to mention that Ding Junyi had added the comment, "ranking among the best in the world." Given Lu Xingchen's personality, he was probably overjoyed.

Ding Junyi held up the Spirit Value Detector for him to see: "It's not a perfect standard, there should still be a lot of room for improvement. Your lattice amplification rate should be over 100%."

"Excellent, excellent." Lu Xingchen let out a long breath, suppressing his excitement as he straightened his chest, his eyes looking down as if he were gazing through the train's armor at the post-apocalyptic world shrouded in crimson and teeming with monsters:
"The road ahead is long and fraught with demons and monsters. So be it, let my newly acquired 'Samadhi True Fire' burn a clear path to heaven for all of you fellow Daoists!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the entire cabin soared again, and the air seemed to boil.

"Alright, alright, quickly check if there's anything else unusual about you." Chen Sixuan interrupted him as he was about to 'take off' again, and asked with concern.

Lu Xingchen was interrupted by Chen Sixuan. He quickly checked his surroundings and then perked up, saying excitedly, "Everything is fine, please rest assured."

Lin Xian nodded: "It seems that with the use of level 4 blood essence, everyone's evolution amplification rate is around 100%, which is a good thing. The problem now is that we don't know whether the changes in Da Lou and Ning Jing's bodies are good or bad. We'll have to wait for me and the Phoenix Society to find out."

"I feel like I should be fine." Lou patted his chest and said, "Apart from being a little red... I feel great in every other aspect."

Lou was also very excited. Previously, his combat power had fallen far behind the team. Facing the super-large monster, his blood energy ability was difficult to use. Although Lin Xian created the Black Dragon Armor for him, it still conflicted with his own ability and could not fully exert his combat power. It only improved his mobility and protection on the ocean. But now he clearly felt that he had the power to break through the air with his bare body. He might even be able to find the physical strength to kill from a distance like Vanessa after a while.

After finishing speaking about the building, Ning Jing crossed her arms, looked at her body, and sighed, saying, "Speaking of which, I should be about the same. There's nothing too uncomfortable, but sleeping might be a bit of a problem."

“I think so too.” KIKI pouted and looked at the tall Ning Jing: “Looks like we’ll have to have Lin Xian make you a new bed.”

"Just make do for now."

Lin Xian looked at her seriously and said, "Right now, let alone us, even the Phoenix Society, the Falcon Sea Group, and the Holy City Organization are still in the early stages of exploring the changes after crystallization. Human evolution is a process that takes a short time, and there are definitely too many unknowns that we still need to unravel. So for now, as long as there is no danger to your life and the crystallization evolution goes smoothly, I think we should treat the other changes as the development of superpowers for the time being. Even people with freak limbs can hide and control them, so I think there must be a way to deal with your situation as well."

Ning Jing nodded in agreement: "That makes sense, Captain Lin, don't worry, I... will adapt."

“It seems your previous concerns were overly cautious.” After listening to Lin Xian’s words, Monica crossed her arms and said calmly, “Currently, there are seven of us, including myself, all of whom have exceeded 15000 Spirit Points. Although we haven’t seen any actual combat yet, judging from the performance of the core combatants of the Falcon Sea Group, dealing with a few Special-class monsters should no longer be a problem for us.”

“I also think it’s fine.” Shu Qin nodded, then clenched her fist and said, “This is not only an increase in power, but more importantly, after the power to assimilate dark energy is achieved, the influence of the strange entity on our dark invasion will be very small. At the same time, we can also use this power to counterattack. In a sense, we and the strange entity belong to the same type of destructive power.”

"That's true." Qian Dele shrugged.

Ning Jing, who was standing on high ground in the crowd, said jokingly, "Yeah, it's about the same size as the weirdo."

"Alright, alright," KIKI stepped forward and said, "Everyone else went smoothly, now it's our turn."

Lin Xian looked at KIKI and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's not delay. KIKI, Teacher Chen, Luo Yang, Xiao Qing, A Bai, and Shiori, prepare for the next batch."

"And what about you?" Monica asked, her gaze fixed on him.

"I'll come after you've all finished," Lin Xian said frankly. "That way I'll feel more at ease." "You're worrying too much, aren't you?"

Qian Dele then said to him, "So many people have finished, now that we're guarding the area, there's nothing to worry about, right?"

Lin Xian shook his head: "That's one thing. You all know that my special ability is a bit different. Also, we're setting off tomorrow, so I need to hurry up and make some weaponization preparations tonight. I can find time to do it after we're safely on our way tomorrow."

“I said, don’t put all the pressure on yourself.”

Qian Dele jumped off the hibernation pod, smiled at Lin Xian, and said half-jokingly, "No matter what your abilities are, and no matter how the Descent Faction tries to deal with you, we are all a team, and we'll stand together through thick and thin."

“That’s right, Captain Lin.”

Everyone stepped forward.

Lin Xian nodded: "Okay, I understand."

“I… I’ll wait for the next batch too.” At this moment, Shiori stepped forward and timidly pointed to Ning Jing and the others, saying, “They have just completed their evolution, and their aura is still very unstable. I’ll stay and keep an eye on them first, which will be safer.”

"Okay." Lin Xian nodded in agreement, and then told Qian Dele, Ning Jing, Huo Ge and the others to rest and adjust first.

"KIKI, you guys get ready." He checked the time: "We should be able to complete the evolution around dawn tomorrow. Let's begin now."

After speaking, everyone immediately began preparations. The first group of people returned to their cabins to rest. Lin Xian saw Ding Junyi walk by and quickly asked...
"Director Ding, didn't you say you also wanted to conduct crystal lattice cultivation?"

Ding Junyi stopped in her tracks: "I'll join you in the last batch. Now is the best time to observe the lattice evolution data. Everyone's changes are very important. I plan to do some tests with regional black chrysanthemums and other disaster plants as well. Perhaps we can make some different discoveries."

Hearing Ding Junyi's words, Lin Xian nodded: "Okay."

Soon, Lin Xian set up the devices for the second batch of team members who were preparing to undergo lattice evolution. Based on previous experience, he distributed the nano-inner garments to everyone in advance so that they could wear them after the lattice evolution was completed.

"Lin Xian."

Chen Sixuan was a little nervous. She sat in the hibernation pod, looking down and adjusting her breathing. Lin Xian came over and adjusted the device for her, saying, "Pay attention to the issues that Shu Qin and the others mentioned earlier. The main thing is to keep your mind clear and don't worry about anything else."

"I know, I just..."

Chen Sixuan said that she had never deliberately improved her superpowers along the way. The progress was almost imperceptible. She had not paid attention to the changes and had focused on solving the team's logistics and strengthening her own mindset. This was the first time she had ever pursued the evolution of her superpowers.

Lin Xian saw through her thoughts, which might be influenced by the changes in the building and Ning Jing.

Although the changes in Lou Da and Ning Jing were not unacceptable, these unknown physical changes still caused some concern among the people. What if even more extreme changes occurred?

"Don't worry, Sister Chen, you won't become ugly, nor will you turn completely red." KIKI lay on her side on the hibernation pod, propping her head up as she looked over and said, "Even if you're like Sister Jing, your body is more than ten years younger, so I don't think it's that scary."

Chen Sixuan closed her eyes and pouted, saying, "What about you? You're more than ten years younger, aren't you afraid of turning into a baby?"

Hearing this, Xiaoqing on the other side was also stunned for a moment, and then cast a complicated look at Lin Xian. She and Abai were both under 20 years old. How much younger could they be?
Luo Yang lay in his hibernation pod, his hands clasped in prayer, muttering something. Ah Bai, standing beside him, asked somewhat nervously...

"Brother Luo Yang, what are you saying?"

Luo Yang opened one eye and said nervously, "I'm praying that my eye doesn't undergo any mutation. After all, my ability relies on my eyes. Brother Lou's blood energy ability makes his whole body blood red. If my Implosion Eye creates some kind of invincible giant eyeball, that would be troublesome. By the way, you also have an eye ability like me!!"

Ah Bai couldn't help but shudder upon hearing this: "It shouldn't be... right?"

"Hey, if that's really the case, it's actually pretty cool." Qian Dele, who was standing there talking without any sense of hardship, teased everyone: "Maybe it would grow six eyes and become a six-eyed flying fish, which would be much more powerful."

Upon hearing this, the group of teammates watching couldn't help but burst into laughter, unsure whether to comfort them or laugh.

"There's really no need to worry about that," Lin Xian said, embarrassed. "Whether it's the Falcon Fleet or the information I saw from the Phoenix Society, there haven't been any cases of eye mutations. Most... cough cough, they still look human."

Everyone:...

"Okay, I'm ready." Chen Sixuan took a deep breath, lay down, and closed the hibernation pod.

"I'm ready too, let's go!" KIKI, with an air of fearlessness, closed her eyes, leaned back, and shouted, "I'll accept whatever form I take!"

Xiaoqing, Luo Yang, and Abai closed their hibernation pods one after another. Lin Xian then activated the device, and a sudden burst of dark energy waves exploded. Several muffled groans echoed throughout the hall, and then everyone fell into a deep sleep.

After everyone's condition stabilized, the others left their hibernation pods to rest. Currently, apart from these main combat forces,

Lin Xian checked the time and headed directly to the arsenal ship of the Sky Train to prepare for weapons development. He and Viola were now connected via computing ports, allowing him to access the monitoring here in real time and know immediately if anything happened.

Therefore, Lin Xian is preparing to start weapon manufacturing and, incidentally, try putting the materials and necessary items into the manufacturing dome of 'Planet Titan' as a small test.
