Very few people work here, and there are no life-sustaining resources, so after the infection broke out, few would have come here. But the space is enormous—you must be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the elevator, Ding Junyi introduced this in a calm voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa, level 40 houses the fewest first- and second-class citizens, level 10 houses the most third-class citizens—what a twisted setup…” Kiki muttered with a scoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian glanced at her. “If you came, you wouldn’t need to live below level 60.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s tone was full of disdain. “I don’t like this place at all—it’s suffocating. My Car 2 is far more comfortable. When we break out of the Palma Grassland, the Romuda Desert, the Pacific… anyway, dying anywhere is better than dying here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just a shame—I thought we’d find tons of supplies, weapons, equipment…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian didn’t care. “If we get that Twin Star 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive, I’m already satisfied. Not to mention the two research cars on it—we’d instantly have our farming base. Then I’ll expand the air and water recycling system from that car, and our train won’t be worse than an intercontinental one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the polar night approaching and hundreds of thousands in the underground city fallen, plus unknown subterranean creatures, under these conditions, Lin Xian was already grateful for such gains—he had no hope of ransacking the entire underground city, even if he had the ambition, he didn’t have that many lives to spare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he hadn’t gotten anything yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except three women on the train… and a potted flower…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uhh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cargo Elevator No. 3, with a dull rumble and the blaring music of advertisements, slowly arrived at level 89, now offline in the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hss~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator doors slowly opened; Lin Xian and Kiki, guns in hand on either side, stood alert at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator’s light spilled onto the pitch-black floor outside; their eyes swept the area and saw an immense dark space, with towering rows of shelves faintly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki operated her terminal, navigating toward the track safety corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s empty here—let’s be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast space gave Lin Xian a deep sense of insecurity; apart from the elevator’s light, the surroundings were utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One foot stepped out, and in the empty room, it sounded like a pebble dropped into a still lake—tightening the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 89: the two were now nearly 450 meters underground, a crushing pressure spreading endlessly from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian walked ahead of Kiki, turning on the tactical flashlight mounted beside his ear, scanning the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed this level’s ceiling was much higher than level 52 they’d just visited—at least ten meters above, and the towering shelves in the dark gave an impression of mountainous grandeur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shelves were neatly arranged with insect specimens; the corridor was straight and long, seemingly endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is G-117 Corridor. We turn right first, then descend near the gene cryogenic bank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s voice was quiet, but in this silence, it rang like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian quickened his pace, then suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you hear something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing him, Kiki immediately tensed her neck, glancing warily around. “N-no… nothing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stood silently for several seconds; apart from their breathing, no other sound came. “Don’t scare me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian signaled her to be quiet, then stepped again into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quietly drew his GK03 electric knife, slinging his assault rifle behind his back; in this silent space, if danger arose, using Flashback or Surge might handle it better than firing a shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the noise might attract a horde—and here, there’d be no clear escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning out of G-117 Corridor, they entered another shelf area filled with fossils; the darkness was thick with skeletal silhouettes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki followed behind; the longer they walked in this emptiness, the more uneasy she felt. She whispered, “Lin Xian, talk to me. This place is terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What should I say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anything. Like, when I passed out, did you try to save me? Or give me mouth-to-mouth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re in the mood to chat about this now?” Lin Xian was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m scared…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki sucked in a breath and hurried after him. “Or like, are you going to let a lot more people board later? Should we install autonomous driving? If the track breaks over the sea and we can’t fly, should we convert the train into a seacraft or submarine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian: “More people is always better—each one adds a chance to survive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re taking all three today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No plan to. We’re not a relief train. Besides, these scientists don’t seem to need to flee with us—they still want to join the New Federal Government.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft—go ahead. They might not even be safer than on our Infinity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What I’m more worried about is the sky corridor,” Lin Xian said as he walked. “Director Ding said many aircraft and airships evacuated during the underground city’s mass exodus, but all those aerial units were destroyed. That means whatever’s up there isn’t less dangerous than the monsters below—maybe even worse. Since Revelation Day, all aerospace and satellite systems have gone down. What’s up there might not just be that giant jellyfish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian recalled the colossal floating corpse he’d seen in Kiki’s corruption hallucination, and his heart still trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air wasn’t necessarily safer than the ground. So far, if not for the Infinity’s thick armor, everyone on this train would have died countless times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking far, the air grew colder. Turning past the fossil zone, they entered a larger area where shelves held numbered glass containers filled with dried plant seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, look—so many seeds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki swept her flashlight across them, eyes gleaming with wonder. “You wanted to grow vegetables on the train—should we take some to plant?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian glanced over, without hesitation: “Yes. Since we’re here, take some.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-quality seeds weren’t easy to find. Now, with black rain ravaging the world, natural plants were wiped out—many vegetables and fruits were gone entirely, and Lin Xian couldn’t search for them on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since these were right here, he’d take some—after all, they wouldn’t take up much space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took off his backpack and began selecting suitable seeds to pack inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak… uhh\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two collected seeds, a strange sound echoed—like a wooden stick dragging along the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both froze, holding their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Lin Xian was certain—he hadn’t imagined it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New book, seeking monthly votes, brothers—board and charge forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1223,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d64cd6134e5926a041ed356b8989c082688c7194e72c0506ad1933a900972782","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-108","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-106",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
