Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 96 95. The speed of the ending is comparable to that of a bad ending! ( more)
The neatly arranged trains rose together with the entire circular platform.

As Seifer was jumping up and down in the car, cleaning up the remaining monsters, he suddenly received a message from the ball.

"Observer, all calculations have been completed. From this second on, all non-observation unit activities, except for the Doomsday Train Project, will be excluded."

"Please complete the plan. If you cannot, the project will be maintained until the critical components arrive."

The ball flew upwards with a whoosh, and then the entire platform's rising speed increased sharply. Specifically, Lin Shenxue lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Then, the monster that attacked from behind pierced through his thin body and the metal floor beneath him with one claw, and his face suddenly twisted.

Seifer smashed the thing with one punch, turned around and kicked away the monsters that were pouring in. After cleaning up the whole thing, he squatted down and asked, "Are you okay?"

Lin Shenxue stared at Sefer with anger and blood on his face without saying a word.

She looks weak but is so tough. She didn't cry out in pain even after her body was pierced. She is so strong.

When Shengnai walked out of the small door of the maintenance passage and hurriedly took out various emergency hemostatic and first aid tools to prepare for rescue, Sefer suddenly stretched out his hand to stop her.

He shook his head slightly as the car swayed. A look of sadness crossed Shengnai's face.

"Is it... no longer possible to save her, Miss Miyuki..."

"Let her go with peace of mind. It's enough that you have this intention."

Lin Shenxue was nailed to the ground, as strong as a leech pressed on a wooden board by pins. She even forgot the severe pain for a moment and wanted to come up and bite Sefer twice.

She exhaled the last breath from her lungs and passed away peacefully.

It would be better if the expression on his face was calmer instead of full of bitterness and hatred.

The moment she breathed her last, except for the bloodstains that had dried on the floor, her body, along with her clothes and equipment, all turned into light and dissipated.

...I see. No wonder there was no body in the car.

This also means that the car still needs to be constantly replenished with food, and it is no longer possible to produce all kinds of meat indefinitely.

Seifer deleted the idea of unlimited food or putting the crew on a list to reduce consumption that had just crossed his mind, and stood up to continue.

"Shengnai, where is Dr. Mei...?"

"The doctor is in good condition and doesn't need my help. Um... there's an incident in the main control cabin, I need to go help."

Let her go first, and Sefer continued to clean up the monsters in the car. At the same time, the platform was slowly rising from under the giant structure, which was unknown how deep it was, to the ground platform.

The carriages began to move slowly, connecting front to back, and gradually became the Doomsday Train again.

The ball disappeared, and Cypher's car was moved on the ground and placed behind the Doomsday Train.

Accompanied by bursts of low rumbling sounds, the Doomsday Train, which had been rearranged and even the plates and chairs in the car were perfectly restored, set off again.

Sefer followed without hesitation, and even took the time to pull Lin Shenxue out of the resurrection array.

Tien's eyes widened.

"Drive quickly! I don't think I can stay here much longer. Go as far as you can... Pull out the main gun."

"okay!"

The main gun protruded from the thick armor plate, and the mobile base followed the Doomsday Train and left the interior of the giant structure.

And to be honest, the impact of that uproar just now was actually quite subtle...

As the long corridor came to an end, the leaden sky and the never-ending heavy snow once again blew across the entire world. Before Seifer had time to sigh, Laika issued a warning over the communication.

"Red crossbow! There are countless enemy units around... Is there any way..."

Seifer looked at the scene outside, thought for a moment and then answered decisively: "No, it can't be done." Outside the windy and snowy environment, countless red lights were silently and indifferently arranged on the dark steel plain.

The doomsday train is still moving steadily forward. Perhaps when it gets back on track, the people on board will stand up without realizing it and return to their jobs.

Perhaps they would not notice that there were more people on the bus, many more companions who had died in previous conflicts, or some fewer young and old people.

After careful and precise adjustments and arrangements, the Doomsday Train will continue its endless struggle for survival under external threats.

The two trains running endlessly will never meet again - provided there is no special external interference.

Among the vast number of machines, Cipher and his car are so small that they are not worth mentioning... After all, people have been cultivating this place for hundreds of years, and the family's wealth can be smashed into patches on the ground with just an iron bar.

"That's why I said I can't do it, at least not now."

This was Cypher's calm assessment as he walked into the main control cabin.

Then, with a somewhat apologetic tone, he said to Shengnai, "This may leave you with an uncomfortable impression, but this is what an anomaly is like. It's beyond common sense and unpredictable."

"It's alright with me. Dying here is just a novel experience anyway... Well, just think of it as realizing in advance that life is coming to an end."

Shengnai just answered with a smile, showing no grudge against the impending destruction.

What a good woman.

Before Seifer could finish his sigh and prepare to face this helpless treatment, which was almost equivalent to the treatment he would receive from a full-level gorilla on the initial plateau, new information was broadcast throughout the world.

To others, it was just a series of rapid, meaningless noises and sounds, even sounds of rather curious content, but Cypher could understand it perfectly.

"Notify the global subsystem: The observer has returned, but has not brought the required components to advance the plan."

"Inform all subsystems: The plan will maintain the status quo. All subsystems will fully take over the self-regulatory organization and wait for the observer to return."

“Informing the global subsystem: Enhancing the interaction channel screening mechanism.”

Along with the sound, the invisible vast sky spread with a halo of light, and even the vast snowflakes and the heavy leaden clouds that seemed impossible to lift forever dissipated for a moment.

Seizing this opportunity, Sefer accurately captured the two bright moons in the sky - at the moment he saw them, everything in front of him turned into a Gaussian blur.

This feeling is familiar to everyone...the vision is about to end!
It was a blessing that it was not piled up on the snowy plain by countless machines and turned into scrap metal on the ground, but what did that thing mean in its last words?
Facing this changing situation calmly, Seifer opened his eyes the moment his body's perception disappeared and then suddenly reappeared.

The condition of the car was exactly the same as when it left, and the people in the car were exactly the same as when it left. Even Lin Shenxue, who had just been resurrected, was still in the engine compartment.

Tien sat upright in her driver's seat, Shengnai was nowhere to be found, and she was even holding the weapon she had thrown to the ground earlier.

“…It’s out.”

Hearing his sigh, Tien breathed a sigh of relief. "What a tortuous and magnificent experience... Ah, but what good did we get? We finally managed to end the anomaly without any casualties!"

In fact, even if three lives are lost, they are still three lives.

Even as he was speaking, in the panoramic picture, the stable entrance to the strange phenomenon in the portal that should have dissipated normally according to the process suddenly shone with an indescribable light.

Various visible and invisible lights and waves emitted sharp shrieks amidst the clamor. The first reaction of all the mercenaries who were spit out was to quickly get away.

Seifer was no exception. He blended into the crowd and moved the car forward slightly.

Under everyone's gaze, the portal, which should have transformed into a blue halo and resurfaced normally, suddenly emitted a harsh sound like an aging television tube...

exploded.
