Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 491 Crimson World
In the silent depths of space, a spherical mechanical object silently emitted a beam of silvery-white light, accompanied by dense shockwaves, which slammed into the surface of the massive, dark red planet.

In an instant, dust tens of thousands of meters high was ejected into space, and a terrifying magnetic field axis slowly spread along the surface of the planet, like a semi-transparent tide.

Then, within that beam of light, the black metallic ore was sucked into the sky like a torrent and entered the transport tunnel of the mechanical celestial body.

This magnificent scene resembled some kind of planetary terraforming. Lin Xian felt towering metallic materials being captured and sucked in, forming a suspended dust cloud thousands of kilometers in diameter beneath the mechanical celestial body.

Buzz!
After Lin appeared behind the entire Black Star Forge, twelve superstring reactor phase rainbow rings suddenly lit up, and his eyes flashed with magnetic storm beams. For a moment, the entire forge was experiencing metal resonance!

At this moment, he didn't know how much energy he could release, only that this might be the key to lighting up the Stardust Furnace!

The problem is, Lin Xian hasn't reached the stage where he intends to light up the Stardust Forge yet...

Lin Xian withdrew the resonance and hovered in the starry sky passage, staring in astonishment at his hands. This was not his own initiative, but rather the Black Star Forge forcibly resonating with him after his consciousness rushed into it, as if the core was connected. This was also why Lin Xian's consciousness began to sink into the core of the entire mechanical celestial body, allowing him to see the whole picture!

However, this resonance took him three whole months. At this time, Lin Xian was not excited at all because he had controlled the Black Star celestial body. His mind was full of worry and confusion.

He couldn't help but think to himself:

"Although I solved a major problem by accident—the black star automatically captured this iron-nickel planet for me, which means I now have a source for the basic materials, and I can start building this stardust furnace—it has wasted three months of my time, and I haven't made any preparations yet. I don't know what the outside world has become; people might even think I'm dead..."

Lin subconsciously began to release the resonance with the Black Star celestial body, trying to reclaim his consciousness. At this moment, he immediately felt a huge numbness spread from his central spine to his surroundings. He regained the sensation of his body, but the numbness, like being paralyzed by a ghost, made him extremely uncomfortable. His consciousness was still trapped in the space of the Black Star Forge, and he couldn't open his eyes at all.

"What happened? Am I really dead? And I won't wake up?"

He quickly calculated the possibilities, then suddenly thought of something, looked at the floating Infinity, and directly raised his hand to make a move!
hum!
The Infinite Engine roared, and the violent energy began to gather in Lin Xian's body through his consciousness. Then, he concentrated a beam of electricity in his heart meridian and released it abruptly without hesitation!
Whoosh!

The violent electromagnetic shock caused Lin Xian's consciousness to erupt with tremendous light, and his consciousness space also shook violently.

He was using his consciousness to perform CPR on himself!
The numbness in the body began to turn restless at this moment, as if something had been activated.

Ignoring everything else, Lin Xian immediately unleashed another burst of electricity after noticing the reaction!
……

February 5, 2070, Costa Rica, Jaco coast.

Crimson light enveloped the sky and earth, and the wind howled across the yellow sands of the ruins. The coastal city had long been frozen into a solitary shadow, devoid of sun, moon, dawn, or darkness; the world was utterly silent.

In an area south of the coast, a brutal war seems to have taken place. Large aircraft are half-buried under the yellow sand, a huge far-reaching starship has broken into three sections, forming three large metal hills, and the battlefield stretching for several kilometers is filled with the wreckage of destroyed vehicles. Survivors' flags and torn tents flutter in the wind.

On a small transport ship that crashed on the edge of the battlefield, yellow sand was constantly blown into the buried inner compartment through the broken deck by the scarlet gale. Through the crack, a strange multi-legged creature found its way in. Its head had three organs that looked like eyes but were actually like the openings of a black abyss. As it twisted, it was hard to tell whether they were protruding outward or sinking inward, giving people a strange sense of dimensional vision.

The multi-legged worm scrambled up, crawling over the mummified corpses of several soldiers clad in power armor. Its sharp metal legs touched the armor, causing dark energy to flow and quickly activating something. Immediately, the core battery in the chest of one of the power armors slowly popped out. Then, the multi-legged worm spat out glowing silken tendrils from the black hole in its head, enveloping the core battery. A few minutes later, the core battery decayed into a pile of dust, which fell to the ground with a clatter.

zizi~
Just as the multi-legged monster finished its hunt and was preparing to find its next target, a bright blue light suddenly flashed in the deepest part of the inner chamber, seemingly emanating from some kind of hibernation pod.

The multi-legged worm immediately scrambled over at an extremely fast speed, extending its glowing filaments once again onto the transparent shell of the hibernation pod. As if sensing a stronger energy source, it used the glowing filaments to completely envelop the entire hibernation pod. Soon, a powerful energy surged forth, with electrical and dark energy instantly converting and bursting forth with a large amount of light.

The multi-legged monster's entire body began to tremble, seemingly conveying a wonderful sensation. However, in the next instant, accompanied by a second flash of light, an incredibly terrifying electromagnetic shock suddenly erupted from the hibernation pod. Dozens of high-energy electric arcs instantly pierced through the entire hibernation pod, directly piercing and melting the multi-legged monster along with the entire transport ship. The resulting magnetic field explosion and high temperature raised a huge ionization wave that reverberated throughout the entire battlefield!

boom! ! !
Like a small bomb exploding, a shallow crater was formed on the ground, and only a hibernation pod platform whose main structure was no longer recognizable remained in the very center.

At that moment, with a sharp inhale, the person lying in the hibernation pod suddenly sat up!
'hiss!!!'

As soon as Lin Xian opened his eyes, he felt as if he were in hell.

Scarlet, yellow sand, high temperature heat wave, bone-corroding yellow sand, accompanied by intense stinging pain in the nerve endings of his whole body and a feeling of weakness and withdrawal of his immune system, Lin Xian reacted in the first second.

This is a death trap!
rub rub!
The nano-powered armor was quickly taken out of the Black Star Forge and covered the entire body. After the life support system was activated, countless sharp alarms immediately sounded in the ears.

[Warning: Darkness erosion concentration exceeds 1360% of daytime value. Escape immediately.]

[Alert: Radioactive fallout detected, radiation concentration 2183 mSv, probability of radiation sickness 86%!]

[Alert: Excessive dark energy impact detected; Dark Energy Synergy System activated]

[Alert: Abnormal fluctuations in mental energy...]

【alarm……】

At this moment, Lin Xian gradually came to his senses. The alarm sound in his ears was gradually masked by the shock that surged up at this moment, turning into a piercing ringing in his ears.

Lin Xian's gaze swept across the sky, only to see a strange, crimson disturbance in the sky and yellow sand and debris scattered everywhere beneath his feet.

He couldn't believe his eyes. He turned around, and behind him was that hibernation pod, from the Sky Train...

But where are the Sky Trains around?

Lin Xian glanced at the watch on his wrist, shattering his last shred of hope. Time hadn't lied to him; three months and 17 days had passed since he entered the hibernation pod...

"Teacher Chen...KIKI..."

Lin Xian pressed the communicator, trying to find the internal frequency of the Infinite, but all he got in response was emptiness.

Lin Xian was shocked, and his mind went blank.

Teacher Chen, KIKI, Brother Huo, Dalou, Shuqin, Sasha, Monica, Qian Dele, Ding Junyi... Everyone has disappeared.

At this moment, I felt as if I had been abandoned by the world. Looking at the crimson filling my vision, a huge sense of loneliness and alienation rushed to my head.

Hu~hu~
Inside the oxygen mask, Lin Xian breathed rapidly, trying to regain his composure. After regaining his senses, he suppressed his various questions and began to observe his surroundings with vigilance.

Woo~
The mechanical heart hummed again, and its scanning vision instantly spread out over a radius of several kilometers.

Soon, Lin Xian caught a lot of clues. He did not start flying, but quietly moved forward along the shadows of the sand and dust gullies. Soon he saw the broken giant starship and the mechanical scan detected the hull number on it.

"The Cheng Ying ship belongs to the Phoenix City Intercontinental Force's Third Intercontinental Division. Phoenix City is on standby in the safe airspace of Cordoba, South America. How did I end up on this fleet?"

"Jacques? This is Costa Rica... on the eastern coast of the central Pacific?!"

Faced with the current situation, Lin Xian could only think of two possibilities: either the Sky Train had successfully rendezvoused with the Phoenix Association, and for some reason, his teammates had sent him to Phoenix City, or this was an order given by Ye Lan.

The second possibility is that the entire Sky Train was destroyed, and he was rescued...

Whether driven by emotion or reason, Lin Xian naturally leaned towards the first interpretation. But regardless of which interpretation he was referring to, the current situation seemed to indicate that the Third Intercontinental Force had engaged in a fierce and brutal battle here, suffering heavy losses. At this moment, the Hako region was completely shrouded in crimson, a deathly silence.

"In the end what happened……"

Lin Xian calmed himself down. His power armor's life support system was operating under high pressure. Although the armor seemed to be able to resist the crimson corrosion, the strong radiation and darkness in the environment made this place like a dead zone. Even if the life support system could supply oxygen and maintain basic circulation, it did not mean that he could rest easy.

Because he had no food or water, was surrounded by crimson light, and was unaware of any terrible threat lurking around him.

Lin Xian looked at the massive wreckage of the Cheng Ying starship ahead and immediately had an idea. He could hide inside the starship and hopefully find some food and water, if it hadn't been contaminated by the crimson...

In addition, he could find some information logs through this starship, which might reveal what had happened in the past three months, as well as the current situation of the Phoenix and the world.

Click
Lin Xian, clad in battle armor, sank his boots deep into the scorching sand. Each time he lifted them, a cloud of sand mist shrouded in dark red dust billowed up. The nano-powered armor shielded him from external dark energy and deadly radiation that could erode his consciousness. Through the viewing window, the crimson halo stained the entire world with an ominous blood-red hue.

He kept a low profile, moving like a ghost through the shadows cast by the massive war wreckage. Chu Yan had told him that the concept of a dark marker no longer existed in the crimson, and he could be attacked at any moment. Therefore, Lin Xian had to be extremely careful in this crimson where day and night were indistinguishable. Once a chain reaction was triggered, he really didn't know which direction to run in.

Perhaps the whole world is already crimson...

The "Cheng Ying" ship, broken into three pieces, gradually magnified in the field of vision. The closer it got, the more shocking and breathtaking the scene became.

The bow wreckage plunges diagonally into the yellow sand, like a broken giant sword embedded in the earth. The massive bridge structure resembles a skull gnawed by a giant beast, with shattered portholes and exposed, twisted, and grotesque frames. Underfoot, twisted and deformed metal fragments, half-buried power armor remains, weathered bones, and charred vehicle wreckage form a carpet of death in this Gobi Desert, constantly giving one a sense of oppressive annihilation of civilization.

As he approached the area below the bow, he scanned the area with radar again before carefully looking at a platform on top. With a thought, he used energy jump!
Swish!
Lin Xian's figure appeared instantly on a broken platform. Before he could even stand firmly, he immediately held his breath and focused his attention in all directions.

Because he was unsure whether activating his superpower would cause any consequences, Lin Xian was testing the waters with every move he made.

Hu~hu~
Lin Xian's heart raced amidst the muffled hum of the power armor. After a while, once he was sure he hadn't caused any disturbance, he activated the scanner to try and observe the Cheng Ying ship.

The power armor's visual scan quickly swept across the fracture surface, and Lin Xian soon discovered a horrifying detail: the edges of the fracture surface of the Shadow Ship exhibited a terrifyingly large and complex serrated tearing structure! The alloy armor wasn't blown apart, but rather torn apart and snapped by something unimaginable, possessing terrifying biting force!
"Bite-off? S-rank?"

Lin Xian's first reaction was that if it could bite through a distant starship in one bite, then its size must be at least S-class, like the previous [Sky Touch]. In fact, given the strength of the Phoenix Society, even the previous [Sky Touch] and [Atmospheric Mica] might not be qualified to take down a main warship in one bite.

"Maybe we'll need something like the Abyss Demon..." Lin Xian recalled the image of the pale giant serpent in Star Abyss No. 5, and a chill ran down his spine.

At the same time, he also discovered that there were still a lot of corrupted dark energy fluctuations here, which is something that would happen when humans mutate into humanoid monsters. The damage inside the room confirmed this, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place inside.

"There shouldn't be any living people inside, and hopefully there's nothing else alive either."

Just as Lin Xian was about to enter the ship's interior through a tear, he suddenly sensed something. His gaze passed over the outline of the massive starship wreckage beneath his feet and instinctively turned towards the Harko coastline in the distance.

His vision was instantly filled with shock. Lin Xian's expression was blank at first, then his pupils suddenly contracted as a strong sense of shock surged through him.

Beneath the crimson sky, at the end of the shattered coastline filled with the aura of death, a massive silhouette beyond the limits of imagination, like an ancient nightmare mountain range, pierced through the blood-red mist and suddenly crashed into his field of vision!

That is definitely not a naturally formed mountain.

That's a creation of steel!

a ship!

A colossal ship, as majestic as a mountain, is stranded on the coastline!
It's too big!

A concept flashed through Lin Xian's mind for comparison—Silent City! The massive mobile city fortress that he had once looked up to, built by humanity on ruins! And the size of this stranded giant ship before him, roughly estimated, was at least three times that of Silent City! Or even more!

Lin Xian immediately realized what the outline in front of him was. It was a maritime nation, a civilization that could only be glimpsed in the news, the ultimate ark for human civilization to continue its flame and cross the ocean during the dark ages! It was a steel city floating on the ocean!

All the characteristics point to one name, the ultimate creation that symbolizes hope in the face of catastrophe.

"...The Noah?!"

Lin Xian's voice was squeezed out dryly through the sealed helmet, trembling with disbelief.
