Aren’t you afraid?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fear’s useless,” Lin Xian said, sweeping his flashlight ahead as he hurried down the maintenance tunnel, his tone urgent. “Since we’re here, we’ve got to get something out of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, if I die here, I’ll just be buried with you,” Kiki muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want, you could go find that red-haired guy we just saw—he’d say hello to you, very polite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian thought this girl’s brain worked in strange ways—joking like this at a moment like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft! I don’t want that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickened her steps and grabbed the hem of Lin Xian’s coat. “Then I’ll stay buried with you—I’d rather not become a lonely wandering ghost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the long, downward-empty tunnel, the two breathed heavily and whispered, their voices echoing endlessly through the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s flashlight swept forward, scanning constantly—then suddenly, he seemed to spot something and came to an abrupt stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki behind him couldn’t avoid it—“Oof!”—she crashed full into his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why’d you stop all of a sudden?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki rubbed her nose, but saw Lin Xian shining his flashlight upward along the tunnel ceiling—there, on the wall, was a brownish-red mass, the size of a washbasin, irregular in shape, like some kind of biological tissue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that… flesh?” Kiki frowned deeply, her face growing paler with every glance. “Hey, there’s more ahead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gasped. Lin Xian turned his flashlight forward—and sure enough, more fleshy tissue appeared ahead, growing like tumors on the walls, making one feel physically nauseated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s expression darkened. He picked up a stone from the ground and hurled it at the nearest fleshy mass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thwack~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone bounced off—no movement, no corrosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Lin Xian stepped forward and pressed his hand against the fleshy tissue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell is this? Meat lingzhi growing out of the dirt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, something’s seriously wrong here…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian tensed and kept walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they descended further, the fleshy tissue in the tunnel grew denser and more abundant, with larger and larger clumps appearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, don’t you feel like we’ve walked into some monster’s stomach?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel the same,” Lin Xian said seriously—he truly did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fleshy tissue ahead grew thicker. As the two leaned in to examine it, Kiki suddenly grabbed his arm from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, watch out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold wind blasted their faces. Lin Xian snapped back to awareness—his flashlight beam seemed swallowed by the darkness ahead. When he looked closely, he realized the tunnel and the right wall had vanished entirely, revealing several massive voids, and the tunnel itself had been severed here…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my god!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki gasped, stepping forward to find they now stood at the edge of a cliff. The entire right wall had been exposed, and a sliver of moonlight fell from above—looking up, they could see the enormous square entrance to the underground city, its regular human-made outline visible against the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiral tunnel had descended along the inner wall of the underground city’s shaft—they were now below level 90, and the pit above looked like a well opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The collapsed area appeared to be a total collapse—dense clusters of brownish-red fleshy tissue spread downward from the rupture, and beneath the underground city, excavated earth had piled into a massive hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they were closer, Lin Xian suddenly felt the vast expanse of flesh before him seemed to be breathing slowly. “This thing grew up from below.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian and Kiki both stepped to the edge of the broken track, gazing down into the deep pit below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, look—is that something down there?” Kiki’s voice trembled with doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s flashlight beam shot forward—but vanished completely into the darkness and blizzard, revealing nothing but the fleshy tissue cascading downward like a waterfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki pointed toward the center of the underground city shaft—the direction of the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian focused his flashlight—but still couldn’t reach the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where exactly are you pointing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian was speaking—but Kiki didn’t answer. He turned—and saw her frozen in place, slowly removing her gas mask. Under the moonlight, he could even see the terror on her face as she stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki raised one finger, slowly pointing toward the center. Then her other hand—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>turned off Lin Xian’s flashlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flashlight went dark—but the surrounding darkness grew clearer under the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian followed Kiki’s finger. Darkness. He stared hard, then lifted his gaze higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki hadn’t been pointing to any specific spot—she was pointing at the entire massive hill in the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he viewed the whole dark expanse as a single entity, he suddenly realized—the hill had the silhouette of a living creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant fish covered in arms!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian sucked in a sharp breath, staring at the colossal silhouette, his eyes filled with disbelief—the scale of that thing in the dark was at least a kilometer across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over it—he could almost see a mountain-sized body, countless fleshy tendrils spreading outward from the center, growing into the surrounding city structure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Xian and Kiki both felt the same thought rise in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without doubt, the massive creature hidden in the darkness of this underground shaft was the source of the earlier earthquake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh… my…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki clapped her hand over her mouth, too terrified to make a sound, afraid of disturbing the colossal presence in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian… is this… the underground creature they talked about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s face was pale with horror, his eyes wide with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did this thing just emerge from the ground…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shock stemmed from the fact that since the Day of Heaven’s End, humans had universally believed that taking shelter underground meant greater safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here, before Lin Xian and Kiki, the dark presence in shaft No. 9 had appeared in a way that choked the breath from their lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three hundred seventy thousand people dead overnight. A fortified underground city built at trillions of cost—utterly overrun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before these strange creatures from the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humanity—like ants!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New book, seeking monthly votes, guys—get on board and charge forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1137,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","37dfc5f3d490415d095c74deb2600b8d24823c00b8bffd2cf0460cabbcb81d25","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-111","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-109",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
