Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1088 - 415: Sea Fortress

10:05 a.m., and the day has broken.

Like a black curtain suddenly pulled back, the city once overshadowed by the darkness of the sea is instantly bathed in sunlight. The monsters that roamed the night retreat like a tide, leaving behind a city riddled with scars. This once bustling coastal tourist town now has only broken streets, collapsed buildings, and ruins eroded by the sea breeze.

Morning light falls on the empty Marine Avenue, a former busy pedestrian street now just has broken railings and overturned parasols. Sea winds carry sand and dust through shattered glass windows, creating a sobbing hum. In a once lively seafood restaurant, tables and chairs are overturned, utensils scattered across the floor, while graffiti on the walls and faded menus still faintly record the atmosphere before the apocalypse.

In the Sea Rock City Star Ring Orbital Station, morning light streams through shattered dome glass, cutting the platform floor into fragmented patterns with ragged shadows. The once busy high-speed rail platform now only boasts dead silence and desolation. Infinity is alone amidst vast emptiness, the only heavy train parked at the station, hard to imagine how crowded and eerie it was outside the carriage during the night.

Sssss.

The carriage door opens, and Qian Deli leads his team members out to observe the surroundings. The scene of the Night Parade of Hundred Demons has disappeared, leaving behind luggage carts strewn about the station’s edge, some overturned or with wheels stuck in the tracks’ gaps, metal frames rusted and peeling as if twisted by some great force. Conveyors have long halted, rubber tracks broken and rising, gaps filled with thick dust and shattered glass, electronic sign boards black and shattered, with some sticky half-dried liquid hanging from them, all indicating that during the night, many indescribable monsters once appeared here.

"Luo Yang, let’s occupy the high ground for observation." Qian Deli stretches, looking upward at the large steel dome structure still standing: "Other forces might be eyeing us, keep vigilant."

"No problem!" Luo Yang picks up the mobile terminal, maneuvering two heavy mechas built by Lin Xian out of the carriage, promptly deploying the patrol paths.

Shu Qin and Lv Chang, fully armed, head out from the rear of the station, preparing to check the beach direction.

The automatic door of Carriage No. 5 opens, Lin Xian and the team members step out. After deployment, he assigns Ning Jing’s mobile squad to inspect the rail and offshore station east of Sea Rock Island, completing Viola’s unfinished work, as he plans to take Viola to meet Vanessa and Gedi at the Hawk Sea Group’s offshore base. His main goal is concerning crystal grid configuration devices and some maritime information.

The power displayed by Vanessa exceeded Lin Xian’s expectations, he hadn’t anticipated such dark energy to possess a higher destructive effect, not just elevating superpower peaks, deepening his curiosity about the crystal grid.

"Monica, Lou Shasha, Ryuji, your team with me, Sister Ning will recon the rail line, Qian Deli and Teacher Chen guard the train while assisting Sister Ning’s squad, using Infinity as a base point, setting drone signal transmission devices along the way, ensuring smooth communication."

"Got it, Captain Lin." Ning Jing nods, closing the power armor mask, then takes Little Qing A Bai and Brother Huo immediately into action, accompanied by dozens of auxiliary drones.

Sha Sha beams at the mention of heading out: "Great~ Can I pilot the Flying Peach?"

Flying Peach is the name Sha Sha gave to the floating bomber mecha, with a large expandable space on this flying platform. When Sha Sha dons power armor, she can directly control this giant to ascend and take off, with a power level several magnitudes stronger than the previous Fire God.

"Strange waters, wherever we go, we must be fully armed and ready for combat at any time." Lin Xian looks at Sha Sha: "And can you refrain from flying if I say so?"

"Hehe~" Sha Sha giggles, her face mischievous, promptly turning to prepare to launch the floating mecha.

"Caution is wise." At this moment, Hawk Sea Group’s Gedi says earnestly to Lin Xian: "There aren’t many zombies on these islands, but plenty of abnormal bodies, and the tunnels under city dark alleys could have them at any time, plus some other forces or Holy City spies. Better not attract unnecessary attention."

"Indeed, your luring agent is a double-edged sword, easy to dodge a spear but hard to avoid hidden arrows, eh?" KIKI says with arms akimbo.

Chen Sixuan glances over the two, then says to Lin Xian: "Be safe, I’ve got this side."

Bang, bang.

Da Lou, clad in Black Dragon Battle Armor, walks out slowly, the ground resounding with a metallic clang, the momentum overwhelming.

"Brother Xian, I’m ready."

Lin Xian nods, Black Dragon Battle Armor is the one with the highest power among everyone’s power armor, appearing heavy but not lacking in mobility either, paired with Da Lou’s blood qi superpower boost, the destructive force unleashed rivals a miniaturized interstellar raider. Meanwhile, Shi Zhi and Monica are also fully armed.

Monica looks at Vanessa and Gedi, asking

"Without flight vehicles, how did you come to the island?"

"Of course we have them." Vanessa, with one hand on her hip and a confident look, operates a device on her wrist. Before long, the roar of a motorcycle rises from the direction of the orbital station’s exit.

Everyone turns their gaze, discovering two unmanned Suzuki Fuma 2066s speeding from afar, showing traces of wear yet not affecting their distinct style.
