If we can’t dock in time, activate the Infinite and get it moving upward out of the underground city; we’ll follow behind. Let’s just get out first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fifth-level freight terminal platform on floor 95, Lin Xian communicated with Chen Sixuan while rapidly using his mechanical ability to inspect the various systems of the Twin Star 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the micro-nuclear DRX power generator on this train was in cooling mode, Lin Xian’s mechanical ability didn’t need to wait for the reactor—he could activate it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to propel this massive machine, along with the Infinite, up to the surface without the underground city’s electromagnetic propulsion, relying solely on Lin Xian’s ability and the limited power of the Star Ring 7F electric locomotive was still extremely taxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Girl, start removing the control rods—I’m almost done here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activating the reactor required the system to begin withdrawing the control rods, which took time before the reactor could reach its intended operational state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cab, Kiki began activating the system on the control panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Core activation, control rods withdrawing, accelerating】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Current core temperature: 76°C】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Startup progress: 3%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hollow~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the first control rod was withdrawn, the small reactor at the train’s center emitted a hollow rumble; due to the Cherenkov effect, a pale blue glow flickered, as if an invisible energy wave radiated outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki stared at the system screen’s progress, then suddenly remembered something and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, shouldn’t radiation be confined within the building? Then why do those disgusting flesh chunks have such intense radiation, and why does that terrifying thing outside also emit radiation? Could it be… that monster…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ate the core?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s sudden remark made Lin Xian, who was inspecting the train’s components, freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a faint tremor sounded; Lin Xian and Kiki turned their heads and saw through the cab window a scene that sent chills down their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the hollow in the wall, the massive black silhouette at the bottom of the underground city seemed to shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the entity in the darkness had turned its head toward this side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bad!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s expression changed; his subconscious told him Kiki was almost certainly right—perhaps this subterranean creature had appeared here precisely because of the No. 1 Main Core in Underground City No. 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, Lin Xian no longer hesitated: “Hold on tight—we’re leaving now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the Mechanical Heart spun at high speed, driving all the train’s electric motors into roaring life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headlights flared, their white beams illuminating the platform and tunnel ahead, both covered in flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust slowly slid off the Twin Star 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive as it began moving along the tracks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roarrrr!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the entire tunnel began violently shaking; dust flew everywhere. Kiki in the cab struggled to stay upright. Just as the electric locomotive had barely left the No. 5 freight terminal track platform, a massive explosion erupted behind them—the shockwave and dust surged into the ascending tunnel, causing the train to lurch violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell was that?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s that giant monster!” On the rear-view screen inside the cab, smoke and dust crashed forward—the entire platform seemed to vanish instantly, and on the screen, a gray-white colossal shadow filled the entire frame, unrecognizable in form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s eyes bulged; he pushed the Mechanical Heart to its limit, forcing the electric train into a mad acceleration!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell Chen Laoshi to get moving!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted to Kiki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this high-speed rush, he feared there was no longer enough time to dock with the Infinite at the No. 4 freight terminal track platform, and that location was already under siege—now they could only let the Infinite depart first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the power inside the Star Ring 7F electric locomotive proved insufficient, Lin Xian could push from behind; with both trains accelerating, they wouldn’t collide directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep-beep-beep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end, the answering machine rang; as soon as Chen Sixuan pressed the talk button, Kiki’s urgent voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Chen, start the train and get moving upward fast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen Sixuan’s face paled; she rushed to the electric locomotive, disengaged the brake, pushed down the throttle lever—she had already pre-set the direction—and the Star Ring 7F’s engine roared to life. The Infinite’s headlights turned on as it began reversing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud-thud-thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaagh!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless zombies and Human Weirder kept attacking the train’s armor, but Chen Sixuan paid them no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the electric locomotive’s motors drove it, everyone on board suddenly felt a jolt—the vehicle began moving backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ding Junyi suddenly turned, pulled out her laptop from her bag, opened it, and accessed the underground city’s sub-system control terminal. She then told Chen Sixuan and Lin Xian over the answering machine:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent accidents, I've pre-opened the station entry gates and switched the platform switch from GF2 to GF4—if you plan to tow those two Ke'er-3-type biological research carriages, this will save time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Everyone hold on tight—I might collide with you soon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian shouted over the answering machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan turned and shouted to Da Lou and Shasha: “There are too many zombies on the rear carriages—go clear them out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou immediately charged toward Car No. 5; Shasha followed, rifle in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap-tap-tap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Car No. 5, Da Lou opened the rear firing port and sprayed bullets outward, instantly shattering the skulls of several zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaah!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Human Weird with tentacles covering its head lunged toward the firing port—its flesh was shredded by bullets in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flatbed trailer crushed several zombies and surged out of the platform, accelerating up the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yan and Xu Wen in Car No. 1 were huddled together, trembling uncontrollably, silently praying they’d survive the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shasha called out; the siblings moved in perfect sync—when Da Lou’s light machine gun ran out of ammo, Shasha immediately grabbed an assault rifle and took over the firepower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were inside the tunnel, she dared not use a grenade launcher—afraid that one misfire might collapse the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speed’s building up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New book, requesting monthly votes, brothers—get on board and charge forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1181,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ab3c192c20ff68461568c5a04c2fe2862059777ef2425a15728db491e02e3038","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-114","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-112",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
