Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 492 Crimson Blood Wall

Strictly speaking, Lin Xian had seen the outline in the crimson from the moment he woke up, but only now did he realize that it was not a mountain range, but a ship.

"Noah...how did it get here?"

Lin Xian was shocked. Noah, one of the Phoenix Society's and even humanity's last three strongholds, stood as still as death at the end of his sight.

At that moment, a bizarre thought even crossed his mind... Had the world already been destroyed?
"Whoo~"

Lin Xian took a deep breath and stared at the chilling outline. Just then, a strange sound came from high above, like the buzzing of some kind of rainbow cavity, so deafening that the yellow sand on the ship's hull trembled and slid off.

His heart tightened, and he raised his hand to open the tightly closed, recessed automatic door in front of him, then slipped inside.

Then, in the next moment, crimson waves of blood rolled and churned in the air as if they were tangible. Suddenly, a row of huge cylindrical objects appeared in the distance, sweeping across in a semi-transparent state, like the tentacles of some kind of giant creature, swinging directly from the sky to the ground, sweeping all the way!
Strangely, the thing seemed to have no physical form; the sand and debris on the ground were not swept up, but passed directly through it.

"What the hell?!"

As the 'scarlet wall of flesh' advanced, Lin Xian frowned and subconsciously activated his AT field to protect himself!

He gritted his teeth and watched helplessly as the giant wall pierced through the wreckage of the Cheng Ying ship and swept towards him with the force of a tsunami. The moment it reached him, Lin Xian felt his heart race, but the next second, the crimson wall had already completely swept over him without anything happening, and his AT field shield did not react at all.

Just as Lin Xian was wondering about this strange phenomenon, the power armor suddenly sounded an alarm.

[Significant blood loss detected; nano-debridement spray urgently activated!]

"what?!"

thump.

Lin Xian suddenly knelt down. The view through his mask was now completely shrouded in blood. He looked at his hands, and the internal circulation exhaust system was constantly spewing out large amounts of blood mist.

That's his blood!!!

Lin Xian realized that he was bleeding profusely all over his body, as if all the capillaries in his body had burst at the same time. He did not feel any pain, nor did he bleed profusely. All the blood turned into blood mist and was forcibly expelled by the power armor's air system!

"That damn thing can extract blood plasma?"

Lin Xian felt his body go limp and his vision went black as he almost fainted. He immediately subconsciously manipulated the power of norepinephrine to inject!

Chi!
With piercings through his kidneys, Lin Xian was jolted awake. He immediately closed the automatic door, took out two drones, one in front and one behind, to illuminate and explore, stumbling along the way towards the interior passage of the starship.

Thump, thump, thump, footsteps echoed in the dark passage. Lin was panting heavily behind his mask. After running for a while, his exhaustion had subsided somewhat. He then took out a group of flying drones to help him quickly scan the internal structure. On one hand, he wanted to find a relatively safe room, and on the other hand, he wanted to find a deck or storage room where supplies were stored. After searching for a while, he checked the time. It was almost dark. Perhaps there was no longer a distinction between day and night here, but Chu Yan had said that it was always better to hide inside a building than to stay outside.

First, avoid being exposed to the outside, and then make other plans.

Every few steps in the dark passage, the ground was littered with various corpses and limbs, withered military uniforms, torn power armor, and the torsos of some strange monsters. The air was cold and foul, a stark contrast to the crimson and yellow sand outside.

Lin Xian scanned the corpses and fighting scenes along the way, his brows furrowed, and analyzed, "Many of the corpses have been drained dry. These anomalies... are different from the usual strange occurrences."

He immediately thought of the zombies he had seen when he left Hawaii, which were enveloped in crimson and then mutated and devoured. That situation was completely different from the mutants who had mutated into humans before.

"It's definitely not a good sign. If we encounter it, it will be even more difficult to deal with."

With his thoughts racing, Lin Xian quickly followed the passage to a residential area. After scanning a relatively intact room, he used his Mechanical Heart to force open the automatic door without saying a word and then crawled inside.

With the lights on and the drones scanning rapidly, the air and water channels were completely under Lin Xian's control in no time. Unlike when he was still in Jiangcheng, where building a temporary shelter was a piece of cake, his only worry was the threat that the buildings in the crimson could not defend against, such as the 'crimson flesh wall' that ignored the terrain just now.

Woo~
The small energy reactor was activated, the lights illuminated the room, and a completely sealed armored door was created to completely seal the automatic door. Then, forty micro drones were dispatched to help him continue searching other deck levels. Information was severely blocked in the crimson environment, and the drones would lose contact almost every few hundred meters. To deal with this problem, his drones used a dot matrix mode to scan, ensuring that the drones at the farthest distance could receive the signal.

After doing all this, Lin Xian unfastened his power armor. Sizzle... In an instant, a large amount of blood sprayed out in all directions. At this moment, Lin Xian was covered in blood, which looked terrifying. However, there were no wounds on his body. Looking at his scarlet chest, Lin Xian's face darkened.

"If that thing sweeps over him twice more, even Superman will turn into jerky..."

Cough!

Lin Xian fanned away the dust and looked around the interior. He realized that this should be a high-ranking officer's cabin on a ship. The space was quite large, with a private bathroom and an office area.

Perhaps the battle didn't take place here. There were no signs of fighting or corpses in the room, and it was relatively clean. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have to stay here tonight. Lin Xian originally planned to explore this area thoroughly to find information about his teammates and the Phoenix Society. However, the appearance of that strange blood wall caught him off guard, making Lin Xian realize that exploring recklessly before figuring out the situation in the Crimson Land was tantamount to courting death. Even if he was anxious to find Teacher Chen and the others, he could only hide and avoid trouble for the time being.

Lin Xian went to the bathtub, turned on the faucet, and heard a hissing sound from the pipes, but not a drop of water came out.

"Sigh~"

He leaned back outside the bathtub, quickly wiping the blood off his body. The extremely strong stench of blood assaulted his throat, and Lin Xian thought to himself...

"I couldn't stop that thing even with my AT field. It seems it's not an energy body, nor is it some kind of physical entity. How can I stop it?"

Countless anxieties and doubts lingered in Lin Xian's mind. He sighed. Fortunately, he still had so many drones at his disposal. He didn't have to risk his life to search for supplies. Once he found something, he would send transport drones to retrieve it for him. If he encountered danger, he could avoid getting directly involved in the fire to the greatest extent possible.

That was his thought, but out of caution, Lin Xian still spent time absorbing all the useless electrical devices in the room, and instead created a dark energy potential device to envelop the entire room, which made him feel a little relieved. At this moment, Lin Xian looked at the empty room and began to try to call out to Grace.

"Grace! Can you hear me?"

There was no response, just as he was trapped in the Black Star Forge.

"Grace..."

"Strange." Lin Xian frowned slightly. "I can clearly sense the presence of flashing bullets between my brows. Could it be that there's something wrong with the South Heavenly Gate as well?"

At this moment, Lin Xian had no disaster relief plants or supplies around him. The only thing he could use was a black gear that could flash bullets. He could sense it, but he couldn't contact Grace. Lin Xian immediately thought of several possibilities.

Firstly, the scarlet barrier blocked his connection to the forbidden object, but since he could sense it, this possibility is unlikely.

The second thing is that something went wrong with Grace...

"Since it can sense, then perhaps it can also flicker..."

Lin Xian had some plans in mind. As long as his flash bullets were still on the South Gate, he might try to leave the Crimson Land by this method if all else failed.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian felt a little relieved, and then he took out the black gear and examined it in his hand.

"Hua Xiaoling said this thing can be used to travel in the Star Abyss, and might be useful in the Crimson Land, but I don't know how to use it. That woman didn't explain it to me in detail..."

Lin Xian held the black gear in his hand, reached out and tapped it to his ear, activating the holographic vision in his eyes, and began to focus on the exploration progress of his drone.

The drone's lights pierced through the darkness, exploring the various rooms and living quarters in a distributed manner. It quickly discovered a considerable amount of supplies. However, after scanning, Lin Xian found that the supplies, including canned food, had even had some kind of decay on their outer packaging. He tried to control the drone to break open a can of beef, but the can suddenly burst open, spraying out a thick, grayish-brown liquid that looked completely inedible.

"The canned food was also corroded?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian's heart sank again. This was practically pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. He sighed inwardly. In these three months, even if humanity hadn't been completely wiped out, the losses under this crimson light must have been devastating...

Undeterred, the drones continued their search. Just then, several drones arrived at the lower deck's supply storage area. A quick scan revealed the supply compartments with their blast doors tightly shut, showing no signs of being opened.

However, before Lin Xian's drone could move, countless glowing tendrils suddenly appeared in the drone's view, and then in the blink of an eye, the drone's monitoring went black, and the signal was completely lost.

Lin Xian immediately frowned. He realized that there might be a strange entity in the supplies compartment, so he quickly mobilized several other nearby drones to enter again.

This time it was even faster than before. Before its own drone could even scan, it was instantly captured by the filament that popped out and crashed.

However, this time, Lin Xian caught some clues. He began to rewind the footage he had just received and observed it frame by frame. He discovered that the silk threads were popping out from the darkness, and in the dim light, he could vaguely see something that looked like a crawling monster writhing.

"Drones are inanimate objects, yet they can still be attacked. It seems the monsters in the Crimson Citadel rely on more than just the Dark Marker. They can see and hear anything, and perhaps they have other sensory systems that surpass those of humans..."

Lin Xian frowned. He definitely had to explore that supply compartment. He had been lying in the hibernation pod for too long and had just lost too much blood, so he was extremely thirsty. If he couldn't find food and water, he wouldn't last more than a day or two, even if he could build a starship by hand. Moreover, he saw a monster outside the supply compartment and guessed that there must be something there that would interest the monster. So, after a moment's thought, Lin Xian decisively summoned a "Dragon Girl" to go and meet the creature in the crimson.

The Black Star Forge opened, and a lithe, female-like mecha landed with a clang and quickly stood up, her sharp feet planted firmly on the ground. Her beautiful mechanical body exuded a surging, chilling killing intent.

Lin Xian looked at his masterpiece, his eyes flashing with lightning.
"action."

bass!
"Dragon Girl" shook her hands, and the VK electric knife on her elbow instantly shot out, the electric arc vibrating and emitting a low hum. Then Lin Xian controlled the door to open it and sent her out.

A silver-gray figure transformed into a cold light within the sloping passageway. Each touch of the "Dragon Girl's" sharp blades on the ground sparked tiny fragments. Her slender yet deadly metal limbs leaped between the walls. The passage ahead was blocked by collapsed metal structures. Without hesitation, she raised her left arm, and a steel cable shot out from her wrist. The sharp anchor head wedged deeply into the upper beam, and the cable taut instantly. Using the momentum, the mech drew a sharp arc in the air, clearing the obstacle, and then rapidly descended from the broken deck opening to the lower deck. At the moment of descent, the auxiliary thrusters on her feet and back emitted brief bursts of blue flames, cushioning the landing and kicking up a cloud of rusty dust.

"Slow down ahead, full-band scan." Lin Xian's command rang out in the data link.

The scanning grating in the "Dragon Girl's" eyes swept across the outline of the dark warehouse in front of her, her hydraulically driven limbs moved more lightly, and the hum of the VK electric blade was reduced to a minimum.

Just as 'she' was about to step into the warehouse area in front of the supplies compartment, the built-in dark energy sensor responded, and Lin Xian immediately detected the anomaly on the Dragon Girl's scanning radar.

Something was lurking deep in the shadows of the mountain of containers, silently watching 'her'. At this moment, Lin Xian, who was remotely controlling the device, also became a little nervous.

Firstly, he didn't know what the Dragon Girl was about to face, and secondly, he wasn't sure if making a fuss would cause more trouble.

"Attention, there are living beings in the area. Activate combat stance."

Lin Xian's gaze was fixed on the radar image transmitted back by the "Dragon Girl." The blurry biological dark energy fluctuations moved cunningly, as if playing hide-and-seek with the mecha's scanning waves.

Seeing this, Lin Xian frowned slightly. The strange creatures would never act like this. They would attack their prey directly. This thing could not only observe the existence of the inanimate dragon girl, but also seemed to be 'observing' her, preparing to make its move.

"You can see it? Good, fire the flares!" Lin Xian issued the order without warning.

laugh--!
A blazing white orb of light shot out from the "Dragon Girl's" shoulder launcher, instantly tearing through the thick darkness! A torrent of pale light poured down, leaving no corner of the shadows exposed. A bizarre, multi-legged spider, as if its skin had been peeled away, was revealed. Its head, with its black hole-like organ, was sunken, from which countless silky tentacles, their ends shimmering with a ghostly green phosphorescence, danced wildly in the light.

found it!
