Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 438 Undersea Cliff
On Haiyan Island, at the dilapidated underground rail station of the university town, the Infinite, which had been hiding from the eerie atmosphere all night, slowly emerged from the tunnel. Chen Sixuan opened the car door and was shocked to find that the freight station where they had fought yesterday and the surrounding already dilapidated streets were now almost completely ruins.

Looking around, the city seemed to have shrunk, with many tall buildings collapsing and roads almost completely blocked.

Ugh!

The sky was overcast with dark clouds. Although it was morning, there were already eerie cries and the rumble of collapsing metal and buildings in the distance, making the normally silent city seem quite lively.

Qian Dele got out of the car, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings.

"No one can stay here anymore. I'm afraid the city will be overrun with monsters before nightfall."

"Where's Captain Lin?" Shu Qin walked out carrying a mechanical rifle. Dressed in armor, Shu Qin was completely different from the hunting style of the Big Foot Caravan. Now she was like a mechanical female warrior. Her physical skills had improved a lot, and Lu Chang's mobility had also improved by leaps and bounds.

However, the disadvantage of genetically evolved beings lies in their lack of effective combat methods against large-sized monsters. Last night, Shu Qin, Lü Chang, Chen Sixuan, and others discussed Vanessa's dark energy released after breaking through the limits of her physical body through crystallization. This is indeed the only way they can currently see that can enable them to fight on a large scale.

"They should be here soon." Chen Sixuan looked up at the sky. Several streaks of fire ripped through the heavens, followed by several sonic booms in the air before plummeting down. Lin Xian and his group landed immediately.

"How about it?"

"Big trouble." Lin Xian unfolded his power armor visor, his expression serious. "But at least we know what the trouble is now."

"There's a reason why this island is so desolate and you can't even see any zombies."

KIKI sighed and said, "No wonder there's so little news about the train convoy heading to the ocean track. The surrounding waters have become a feeding ground for world-class creatures."

"Feeding area?"

Lin Xian nodded, then briefly shared the situation with the team. Upon learning of the urgent situation, a shadow fell over everyone's faces.

After communicating with Ryan, Lin Xian looked at the countdown in front of him and began to speculate whether the countdown time was related to Mount Garan or Uniga 1. However, he couldn't be sure, because the changes at Nantianmen might also be related to the forbidden item he possessed...

"So, are we going to look for a shelter in the Haiyan Island area if the energy release fails?" Chen Sixuan asked at this moment.

Lin Xian looked at everyone and said in a stern voice, "Actually, rather than taking refuge on the island, I would prefer to fly away from Haiyan Island directly."

“I think so too.” Qian Dele nodded immediately upon hearing this: “In that case, I think hiding on the island is a last resort, a measure only taken when absolutely necessary.”

Monica frowned slightly, crossed her arms, and asked, "What about the Falcon Fleet?"

"One of their teams has already headed to the southeastern sea area. Once I establish contact with the island base, we'll prepare to launch our operation," Lin Xian said.

"Shall we start right away?" Chen Sixuan asked.

"Let's test it out first," KIKI said, "and see if it works."

"If it works, it might buy us some more time," Ning Jing said.

Lin Xian's gaze swept over everyone: "Where is Director Ding?"

"this."

Behind the crowd, Ding Junyi quickly stepped out of the car and calmly said to Lin Xian, "I've done a simple calculation on the data you sent me. However, I don't know much about geological research, so I can only calculate from the energy model. The preliminary conclusion is that even if the Garan volcano reaches the largest eruption in recorded history, it won't cause too much damage to the terrain of Haiyan Island. We can withstand a magnitude 10 earthquake. The biggest trouble is still the tsunami and... those monsters." Natural disasters combined with the bizarre—this was a situation Lin Xian had never encountered before. In fact, for Lin Xian, who possessed interstellar-level power armor and the Infinite and Sky Dome, tsunamis, storms, and earthquakes were completely manageable. But if these natural disasters were accompanied by those huge bizarre creatures and the hunt by the Ocean God, it would be a scene from hell. Under the storm, without night and day, Haiyan Island would be like the center of a storm vortex, a terrifying thought.

Therefore, Lin Xian pondered in his heart that even though Ryan mentioned the danger in the sky, given Lin Xian's personality, staying put and fighting for survival was not as good as breaking through and making a desperate attempt. It was only because of the earth-shattering scene of the giant ocean god yesterday that he became wary, so he temporarily adopted the worst possible strategy and prepared to implement the energy release plan first and then see how things went.

"Let's get started then."

Lin Xian immediately said to everyone, "Sister Ning, Monica, Qian Dele, the three of you will be responsible for investigating the air force bases and bunker facilities on the islands to see which place is suitable as a temporary shelter. The underground railway is definitely not suitable. Teacher Chen, Infinite will remain stationed in place for the time being to handle information relay. We will wait for my instructions."

"How do you plan to arrange this?" Chen Sixuan asked.

Lin Xian said, "I'll go to the east bank first. The drone squadron hasn't made contact with Viola yet. We'll find out the situation at the energy leak point and then make a decision. If we can get it sorted out, we might be able to take the Infinite directly to the submarine base."

Chen Sixuan nodded: "I understand."

"Ah, Brother Lin, are you going to go into the sea?" Sasha asked.

Lin Xian said, "Yes, there might be a Special-class being in the sea there. Let me check the situation first."

“Alright, let’s get moving.” So, Ning Jing, Monica, and Qian Dele immediately led their team to split up and move out. There were quite a few strange creatures in the outer area, and this mission would inevitably involve combat, so everyone was fully armed.

Lin Xian immediately set off, taking KIKI and Shiori with him and flying directly towards the east coast.

"Lin Xian, Viola hasn't come back for so long. Has something happened to her? Logically speaking, a smart robot shouldn't be targeted by a strange entity, right?"

During the flight, KIKI asked Lin Xian a question.

"The relay drone has been searching along Viola's flight path. I'm worried that the storm that hit Oceanus yesterday might have affected something, otherwise the orbit around the planet couldn't have broken off by such a large distance."

Lin Xian was anxious. Viola was now his important computing center and the core of his drone control. Losing Viola would be an immense loss for him. Grace was far away in the Southern Heavenly Gate, and he had no way of recalling her. Thinking of this, he had a headache.

call out!
Dark clouds pressed down on the sea, the leaden sky and the dark blue sea merging into a chaotic line at the horizon. Lin Xian's armor tore through the humid air, and the thrusters under his feet left pale water trails on the crests of the waves. KIKI and Shiori, who were traveling with him, stood on either side of him. The three of them sped south along the east coast of the sea rock island, salty water droplets condensing on the surface of their steel exoskeletons.

As the coordinates approached the underwater cliff area on the east coast of Chasan Island, the radar suddenly emitted a piercing beep. Lin Xian saw that one of Ryan's transport ships was now anchored near the island's shore. The three of them approached from the sea, but before they reached it, he suddenly hovered in mid-air. He saw that the seabed at the edge of the cliff had abruptly broken off, and sunlight pierced through the water, revealing a gaping abyss with a diameter of over a thousand meters. The center of the whirlpool was dark blue, and the white foam swirling around the edges resembled fangs. The surface of the water was calm, but underwater, it seemed as if a giant beast was lurking, devouring light. The whirlpool rotated slowly, defying the laws of fluidity. It was the "unnatural creation" in Erica's aerial photograph!
"My God, what's down there?"

Lin Xian's gaze narrowed slightly: "I don't know, but it's definitely not as simple as an underwater whirlpool."

“Then let’s go down, this… isn’t it too dangerous?” KIKI said.

Lin Xian shook his head and glanced at Ryan: "No need for now. I have the coordinates, so I'll send the robot out first. Besides, there must be maintenance access in this kind of area."

“Mm.” KIKI nodded.

Just as Lin Xian and KIKI were preparing to land, the sea below suddenly became turbulent. Lin Xian instinctively became alert, but then, amidst the blaring of the warning radar, KIKI's voice suddenly rang out.

"Lin Xian, from above!!"
