Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 867 - 363: Reshaping (Bonus - )

Silent City, Cloud District.

Lin Xian stood in the strong wind watching the departing transport ship, his expression calm.

"Let me guess, you suddenly came over and caused a scene because you discovered something?" Mochizuki Masashi looked at Lin Xian and said.

Lin Xian turned to look at him: "Eh, offending the people of Dawn City like this, you don’t seem worried at all."

"Their target is Silent City, it won’t change based on whether our words are diplomatic or our demeanor is humble, right?"

"More than that, I’m curious about what that Miss Jian Xuwei communicated to you." Mochizuki Masashi looked at Lin Xian and said.

"Nothing escapes your eyes." Lin Xian took a step forward, crouched on the ground, and looked at a slightly darker stain on the ground compared to the nearby deck. It was about the size of a small fingernail, round, and looked very much like the mark left by a stiletto heel. He pinched it with his fingers, a piece of brown film-like material adhered to his fingertip. Upon closer inspection, there were fine circuit patterns on it.

"Looks like a micro magnetic disk." Mochizuki Masashi stepped forward and said.

"With that stuck under a high heel, walking must be difficult."

Lin Xian recalled Jian Xuwei’s words just now, smiled, and then handed it to Mochizuki Masashi. Mochizuki Masashi took it, transforming his fingertip into a nano platform to support the film sheet, and immediately a holographic message was emitted from it.

"Lin Xian, Zhou Mingyuan has colluded with the Deep Red World, and he’s not the only one; many of Dawn City’s high-ranking officials are involved as well. Additionally, this Zhou Mingyuan is a clone."

As Jian Xuwei’s words came out, others’ expressions immediately darkened.

"A clone?" Qian Suxun smiled helplessly: "I see, I was wondering why Dawn City’s vice-chairman would take the risk of flying over from such a long distance at night, turns out it’s just a stand-in."

"That Wen Dong and Jian Xuwei are not stand-ins." Mochizuki Masashi said: "They do want to cooperate with Silent City, but instead of producing more starships, taking away our Silent City is more straightforward."

After speaking, he looked at Lin Xian: "Trouble is coming."

"Already here." Lin Xian said helplessly: "We don’t need to hide. Zhou Mingyuan must have known what is going on in Star Abyss No.5 long ago, so his visit is definitely not just for show or simple negotiation."

"We’ll know soon enough." Mochizuki Masashi turned to leave, saying to Lin Xian: "Before dark tonight, we’ll be anchoring approximately 30 kilometers north of Ningnan, waiting to enter the night. We’re 420 kilometers away from Jin Hai, you need to speed up your Mechanical Devouring."

Seeing Mochizuki Masashi leave with a few people, Lin Xian also took a deep breath. He had just completed the devouring of the nuclear power core of the Dragon Transport Ship and caught up immediately, for he heard Jian Xuwei’s phrase ’don’t detach’.

That was what he shouted to Jian Xuwei after climbing the Yu Bei elevator into the clouds and the traction power was cut off. As expected, Jian Xuwei was forced to cooperate with Dawn City under such circumstances, but it also provided Lin Xian with a crucial reminder.

In the engine room of the Dragon Transport Ship, Lin Xian was devouring the huge propulsion engine while holding a black spider robot to observe.

"This is it?"

"Quite hard to find." KIKI, flying beside him, quipped: "Don’t underestimate these nano robots, they can be pretty troublesome when invading."

"But isn’t it kind of child’s play for Silent City?"

Lin Xian handed the spider robot to Grace, who was called over to perform data analysis.

[This is a robot system that disrupts quantum processors by emitting minute radiation.] The scanner on Grace’s finger glowed as she said [Although the energy volume is small, if invaded, it can interfere with the coherence of superconducting quantum bits, potentially causing system collapse and reboot in severe cases.]

"Oh, that’s pretty impressive." KIKI said: "Looks like they’re targeting Mochizuki Masashi directly."

"It’s worse than that."

Hearing Grace’s description, Lin Xian’s expression grew more serious: "Merely dealing with Mochizuki Masashi would only paralyze Silent City temporarily. To control Silent City, they must board, seize the Cloud District and the main bridge!"

KIKI’s eyes widened: "Are you saying they plan to launch an attack?"

Lin Xian closed his eyes slightly: "Jian Xuwei’s hint was precisely this. It seems her Silver Star encountered a similar situation."

"There are only a few thousand people on the Silver Star, but Silent City has 100,000. Does Dawn City plan to start a war?" KIKI said in disbelief.

"Did you forget?" Lin Xian looked at KIKI: "There’s also the Deep Red World."

KIKI, looking troubled, pinched her brows and flew out: "I’ll inform the other members of the Joint Train now. Grace, come with me. You need to talk to Mochizuki Masashi."

Lin Xian watched the devouring process before him and nodded.

Combining Zhou Lei’s information, the situation was more complicated than Lin Xian anticipated. If Jin Hai is indeed the base camp of the Deep Red World, then besides facing the people from Dawn City, they would also have to deal with attacks from the Red Man Gu and potentially existing Dark Creatures. This is definitely something the Deep Red World is capable of. Currently, Silent City is a massive target and boasts formidable firepower. To capture Silent City, Dawn City needs to not only eliminate Mochizuki Masashi but also cripple the primary combat capability here.

To be honest, Lin Xian, though somewhat prepared, currently had no effective countermeasures. His Infinity is now docked in Silent City’s bay, and if a Monster Tide occurs, they couldn’t possibly abandon such a fortress, supported by powerful firepower, for a track escape, right? Besides, ahead lies Jin Hai and Dawn City, where else could they flee?
