Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1091 - 416: Undersea Volcano

"Are you saying that the Abnormal Body Nest is a giant floating island?!"

The crew of Infinity changed their expressions upon hearing this. Just Ryan saying it gave a sense of immense pressure, and according to Erica’s description, this thing seemed to appear during the day.

"That’s right."

"Do you know when it appeared?" Ryan looked serious, his tone grave, "10 days ago, to be precise, after the Siege of Dawn City, this thing suddenly appeared on the sea, accompanied by a storm zone with a diameter of over 100 kilometers."

Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this, "Are you suggesting this thing is related to the matter of Dawn City?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Ryan shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Who knows, but indeed a lot of strange things have happened since then." He looked at Lin Xian and the others and said, "The Sea Groups within a few hundred nautical miles of Sea Rock Island have all been affected to some extent, with several small organizations completely wiped out. Now that direction is very unsettled, I suggest you make sufficient preparations. Otherwise, once you leave Sea Rock Island, unless you fly, you won’t see land for days, and several bases on the ocean segment have lost contact; no one knows the actual situation."

"With it being so dangerous, you still want to hunt?" KIKI asked in bewilderment, "Aren’t you asking for death?"

Ryan spread his hands, "Including us, there are currently 4 Sea Groups, with a total of more than two thousand people."

Lin Xian sensed that there was more to this than met the eye and smiled, "Over two thousand people, have you confirmed what that floating island is, are you so confident?"

"Are you hunting just for Level 4 Blood Essence?" Monica also asked.

Ryan made a ’please’ gesture, inviting Lin Xian and his group to follow him into the carrier.

"If you like, we can sync the information we’ve gathered with you. I believe once you understand, you’ll know why we’re doing this, and it also has a lot to do with you. Meanwhile, let us show you our floating home."

"Alright." Lin Xian nodded, not refusing Ryan’s invitation.

Crossing through the green area on the deck, they reached a hatch on the side of the island. The heavy blast door slowly slid open, and a humid, warm airflow rushed over them.

The first layer of space inside the cabin had been converted into a multi-layered hydroponic zone, with LED grow lights hanging on metal brackets, illuminating rows of hydroponic troughs where lettuce, tomatoes, and strawberries grew vigorously in the nutrient solution. A few workers in protective suits were inspecting the plants’ growth.

"This is our artificial light source hydroponic zone," Ryan explained, "The ship has a small nuclear power unit for cars, which provides enough electricity to maintain year-round growing. But to save energy, most crops rely on the natural light from the deck. We’ve shut down the main nuclear power reactor for two months, mainly for safety."

In the planting zone, a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat looked up, saw Lin Xian’s group, glanced at Ryan, and pointed to the strawberries, "Guests? Want to try some?"

Lin Xian hadn’t responded yet when Sha Sha’s eyes lit up, "Wow, can we?"

"Of course!" The man smiled as he offered a few bright red fruits, "After the apocalypse, the chance to eat fresh fruit isn’t common, especially at sea. These strawberry seeds are worth several Blood Essences."

Sha Sha took one and bit into it, sweet and sour juice bursting in her mouth, "Mmm... so sweet!"

Monica looked around, "How do you solve the pollination problem?"

"Initially, we relied on manual labor, but later we introduced... some bees." Ryan smiled inexplicably, pointing to several transparent beehives in the corner, "Found them on Sea Rock Island, but be careful not to get stung; post-apocalypse bees... are a bit fierce."

"There are still bees alive?" Lin Xian was somewhat surprised.

"Actually, quite a few," Ryan responded with a smile, "Cockroaches, geckos, ants, plenty of reptiles. If you’re careful, you might find some outside. There are also some fish in the seawater, though we rarely fish, you understand."

Subsequently, Lin Xian and Ryan passed by several supply warehouses, and inside the blast doors were mountains of supplies neatly organized on metal racks—food, medicine, tools, weapons... even a full wall of entertainment items, from playing cards to old game consoles, everything was available.

"You’ve gathered quite a lot."

"Some are from our previous fleet," Ryan walked ahead, "Besides going ashore, most of our Sea Group collects things at sea."

"Collect?"

"There’s plenty," the mechanical giant Azir sauntered over, jokingly, "Sometimes you follow the ocean current and encounter hundreds or thousands of containers, all floating up from sunken ships after the Apocalypse Day, full of all kinds of oddities, like opening a blind box. I must say, it’s quite interesting."

"We also buy at the Black Market, or exchange with other Sea Groups," Vanessa turned to Lin Xian, saying with meaningful overtones, "At sea, you don’t meet many people."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately thought of something and asked them, "We came over from Taku Deep Water Port yesterday, do you know what happened over there?"

"Ambush,"

Erica, walking ahead, responded coldly without turning her head, "It’s the first port in Asia-Pacific for going out to sea, countless people have died there trying to be the fishermen or the oriole, and that place at night is a hot spot for Abnormal Body attacks, it’s long become a ghost port. Many train groups have had incidents there, you’re quite lucky."

Lin Xian shuddered at her words; the situation was much as he had guessed.
