Chapter 303: Underground Tunnel (Thanks to Alliance Leader Book Friend 201804170858)

~22 min read 4,212 words

Lin Lin Xian's first reaction was that this voice message was brought by the woman named Chu Yan.

After all, Grace also wore a holographic face of Chu Yan.

But the problem was, in his dream, if time was not misplaced, Chu Yan should be in Yubei City covered by the polar night after the nuclear explosion. How could she appear in the Yijin underground ten thousand miles away at the same time and leave such a warning message for the heavily guarded intelligent brain-Grace?

In an instant, Lin Lin Xian felt that he had fallen into a huge shadow, making him unable to make a decision for a while.

From Lin Lin Xian's cautious perspective, after learning the evacuation route, his first choice must be to evacuate against time. After all, he was in the polar night, and this Yijin City was full of dangerous fungal threads, and he didn't even have the means to fight back. As long as he didn't see the dawn, Lin Lin Xian simply couldn't feel relieved.

And if he followed the information 'Grace' just told him, there might be corpse-collecting people appearing near Yijin City, then they must never risk leaving the city under such circumstances. The best way was to hide in the depths of the underground and wait for the next fungal thread active period to leave.

The reason Lin Lin Xian couldn't make a decision was that he couldn't judge the authenticity of this information.

Ding Ding Junyi saw the solemnity on Lin Lin Xian's face at this moment and said: "You are worried that this might be 'her' trap?"

Lin Lin Xian looked at Grace, who had already shut down and was restarting, took a deep breath, and nodded: "We are very passive now."

"I know. The evacuation route was provided by her, and not evacuating was also said by 'her'. The whole train is staying in the underground tunnel. If it is a trap, we will lose any chance of escape."

*Boom, rumble~*

The sound of the rails trembling became more imminent, and Lin Lin Xian's mind was also running at extreme speed.

Finally, Lin Lin Xian's gaze constricted. He walked forward directly and grabbed Grace, the power armor on his body transmitted torque rapidly, lifting this humanoid robot that looked petite but actually weighed nearly half a ton. His Mechanical Heart operated rapidly, cutting off Grace's energy circuit, directly shutting her down, and then walking toward the outside of the passage.

"Can only gamble once, the whole team stays silent and rests underground!"

Ding Ding Junyi looked at Lin Lin Xian deeply, then followed.

*Whoosh, whoosh! *

The joint train was like a steel dragon, entering the underground directly along the secret underground track of the freight station maintenance workshop in the spore thick fog, and was met by Xiang Xiang Ningjing and went deep into the underground tunnel. The huge movement caused a large number of active fungal threads to begin to roll, and countless human-fungi gathered around.

At the freight station, Kiki joined forces with Xiang Xiang Ningjing and a group of ability users to block those human-fungi and human-head fungi outside the passage. From time to time, there were violent explosion sounds. Before long, the entire freight station was a sea of fire!

"The situation is almost out of control!" Kiki shouted in the communicator while looking at the dense human-fungi in the spore fog from the air.

"Can't care so much, we must seal the entrance completely!"

Xiang Xiang Ningjing shouted, throwing a container steel plate in her hand fiercely. *Woo! * The steel plate broke through the air with violent potential energy, cutting countless human-fungi like chopping melons and vegetables. A large amount of wet and rotten organs sprayed out accompanied by mucus, but there was no blood, colorful like plants.

The joint train was really too long. With a large number of carriages pouring in, the wind pressure sound in the underground tunnel whistled continuously. After a full ten minutes, all 500+ carriages entered the underground tunnel, and at this moment, the entire freight station had almost been blown into ruins, and the spore fog accompanied by the violent wind was like a sandstorm!

"Let's hurry in and seal the entrance!"

"Hurry!"

In an instant, dozens of ability users rushed into the underground tunnel one after another.

Xiang Xiang Ningjing shouted to Abai at this moment: "Abai, it's your turn to strike."

Kiki said worriedly: "With such a large amount of explosion, will it trigger a chain reaction?"

"No, this is not in the main city area, and we must clear most of the hidden dangers."

"Alright!" Kiki heard this and immediately supported a large telekinetic shield: "Strike quickly, I'll seal the road."

Abai nodded. In an emergency, he stood out immediately and raised his sunglasses. In an instant, the dark red laser light swept across the ruins of the freight station like a windshield wiper, cutting the spreading fungal threads and human-fungi directly. The next instant, the crimson explosion lit up in the human-fungi like some kind of special energy vibration, and even the giant rats that came looking for sound from the darkness were annihilated. A shocking explosion rang out within a few kilometers of the freight station!

*Boom, boom, boom!! *

The earth trembled, yellow sand rolled, and the powerful shock wave came rushing!

Kiki and a group of people responsible for breaking the rear were blocked at the tunnel entrance and were directly rushed into the tunnel below by this shock wave. The rising sky-filling flying stones and dust were like a tsunami, instantly burying the tunnel entrance, and even the entrance suffered a huge collapse. A group of people rushed hundreds of meters inside, and the earth-shaking momentum gradually subsided.

This secret rail entrance was completely buried like this, and it also directly prevented those human-fungi from invading inside.

The huge movement caused tremors in Yijin City. Countless bizarre screeches came from the dark alleys and the polar night wilderness outside the city. The entire city seemed to be awakened at this moment. Those horrors in the darkness and various indescribable creatures rushed toward the direction of the freight station rapidly!

And the 15-kilometer-long joint train was currently galloping in the underground track of tens of meters!

"All carriages open the sprinkler system to clean up the attached spore fog!"

"Use the disinfectant!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Infinite's side sent a command, everyone prepare to extinguish the fire!"

"Extinguish the fire?"

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. *

In the dim tunnel, Lu Lu Xingchen squatted on the high maintenance rack, watching the Longshan No. 1 locomotive that was about to rush over, ready to go at this moment.

"Hey, Brother Luo, do you confirm that this method is really feasible?"

Fire Brother asked Luo Yang in the communicator.

"Brother Lu, it's definitely possible. These spores don't possess too much explosive nature. I have already let Team Chen and Brother Shi notify all train convoys to fireproof. Only in this way can the spore dust outside the train be cleaned to the greatest extent, otherwise it will definitely leave hidden dangers," Luo Yang said with confidence in the communicator.

"Alright!"

"In the past, there was the water gate ceremony, today there is my Divine Fire Immortal Venerable's fire gate clearing evil!"

Lu Lu Xingchen wore a gas mask, smiled lightly, ignited a flame on his fingertip, and shouted in the communicator: "Pay attention, it will be very hot next."

"God, fire wall!"

Lu Lu Xingchen put his hands together and pushed forward. A violent fire rushed directly toward the joint train, instantly making the entire tunnel fall into a sea of fire!

He controlled the fire, the purpose was only to burn the fungal thread spores attached outside the carriage, as the 'last link' of multiple disinfection.

In an instant, all the carriages rushing past were washed by a heat wave. The spores outside the carriages ignited tiny sparks like fireworks, like fire sand, and were burned clean all the way.

Some devices exposed outside the carriages were ignited, but they were quickly extinguished by the train team members who were prepared with fire extinguishers or sprinkler devices.

The steel dragon rushed in the dark track, and after fire disinfection, finally arrived at the area where the Zero Element Center was located.

Lin Lin Xian stood on the station with Ding Ding Junyi and the shut-down Grace at this moment, watching the joint train drive past with a scorching, burnt wind pressure. He arranged in the communicator: "Stop before the subway connection section. The distance is just right. The tail carriage Ocean, Parrot is responsible for blocking the road and setting up a sentry system for monitoring. Head carriage Brother Shi, Sister Ning, Teacher Chen, you take people to clear the subway line, at least seal the road 1 kilometer away in both north and south directions, and arrange people to take turns!"

"No problem!"

"Received, Lin Dui!"

"Alright, I know, arrange immediately."

At this moment, above the ground, the Yijin City covered by fungal threads was surging with dark tides, and underground, the joint train of more than 4,000 people was arranging defensive lines in full swing. All team members wearing protective equipment went out of the cabin and began the final cleaning of the outside of the carriages.

Standing on the station, Lin Lin Xian looked at the mighty doomsday train that couldn't see the end on the left or right, and sighed in a deep voice.

"I never thought that one day so many trains would enter the underground to take refuge together."

"What do you plan to do with this place?" Ding Ding Junyi looked at Lin Lin Xian and said.

Lin Lin Xian turned his head to look at the passage of the Zero Element Center: "First empty the things in the permanent warehouse, just in case. When we are about to leave, come back to clean up here."

"Clean up? Are you planning to empty this place?"

"Otherwise?"

Lin Lin Xian opened his mouth: "There are small nuclear energy devices here, various instruments you need or don't need, a large amount of precious metal materials, mechanical arms, robots. It's a pity not to take them away."

"If that's the case, then the people of those Crimson members here will definitely die," Ding Ding Junyi said.

Lin Lin Xian smiled upon hearing this and nodded: "Their brains have grown antennas. It's just right that they are dead. I'm even prepared to take their coffins... no, survival cabins together. I feel like a great philanthropist if I leave a screw."

Joke, the underground research institute of the Descent Sect plus a group of rich members who were obsessed with eternal life and ran to 'anti-parasitize' dark creatures. Lin Lin Xian didn't burn them with a fire, mainly because he was afraid of scalding himself.

"Lin Lin Xian!"

Infinite and Longshan No. 1 were about one kilometer away from the Zero Element Center. Kiki quickly brought Chen Chen Sixuan and the others over. At the same time, there were also people from Longshan No. 1, Sun, Joker convoy, and Mo Queen.

Lin Lin Xian raised his hand and beckoned. *Woo, woo, woo*, 20 Lei Sun drones flew over rapidly and gathered behind him, like a ring-shaped mechanical dharma image.

"Young lady, help me set a patrol program for these drones. I'll arrange them to patrol the subway connection port."

The subway connection port direction was the only direction for the train to evacuate. Now more than 4,000 people were docked underground to rest. Lin Lin Xian really couldn't feel relieved, so he considered multiple preparations!

"No problem."

Kiki immediately took out the mobile terminal. At this moment, she suddenly saw Grace, who had not been turned on beside Lin Lin Xian, and was surprised.

"Eh, did you fix this guy?"

"Not yet. She restarted herself. I took this opportunity to shut her down. Take her back to the car first. When we go out, you find a way to overwrite her system, and we will have an extra housekeeper robot."

Kiki's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Wow, great, finally have an intelligent brain robot. This young lady can be liberated~"

At this moment, Chen Chen Sixuan, Shu Qin, Lou Shasha, and others also looked at this robot that was like a female body artwork, and all showed surprise.

"Heavens, what is this? A robot? So beautiful!" Lou Shasha widened her eyes and walked over.

"Looks like you discovered something extraordinary," Chen Chen Sixuan said.

"How are you? Did you encounter anything strange?" Lin Lin Xian asked.

"No," Shu Qin shook her head: "Except for sealing the doors and windows well, we have always kept silent."

"Several convoys had accidents. Spores invaded the carriages, and some people were infected. Brother Shi had already notified in advance. This kind can only be thrown off the train and then the carriage sealed," Chen Chen Sixuan said.

"How many people?"

"About... more than a hundred people." Chen Chen Sixuan's tone sank slightly.

Lin Lin Xian nodded: "It's good that the situation didn't spread."

"Lin Dui."

At this moment, Mo Mo Nika and her group of subordinates also walked over along the passage beside the track. At the same time, there were also Brother Qian Qian Dele's group, Luo Yang and Li Yi of the Sun convoy also followed behind wearing a big gas mask, and Shi Shi Diyuan followed Xiang Xiang Ningjing with bandages and brought people to gather on the station of the Zero Element Center.

"What's the situation now? Are we all going to stay in this underground?" Mo Mo Nika didn't wear her mink coat, but put on a red full-coverage combat suit. This was a lightweight combat suit. Looking at it, it was like some kind of leather combat uniform. Because she was tall, this combat suit not only revealed her amazing figure, but the fully wrapped mask also completely blocked the spore fog. It looked like a private design of great value.

"I don't like staying underground. It's moldy and damp here, and there's no maintenance. If it collapses, we'll all be buried alive," Brother Qian Qian Dele said muffledly wearing a gas mask.

"It's not bad to have a place to stay," Shi Shi Diyuan walked over from behind, his voice loud: "Staying here is better than being surrounded by those human-not-human, ghost-not-ghost, and even more powerful than explosives plant-men!"

"Lin Dui." Xiang Xiang Ningjing asked Lin Lin Xian at this moment: "Are you sure we are going to wait here for the next fungal thread active cycle?"

Lin Lin Xian nodded and swept his gaze toward the crowd.

"The plan has changed. We are going to rest in this underground for 30 hours. There are some other situations, so convey them quickly."

After speaking, Lin Lin Xian led the crowd into the surveillance lobby of the Zero Element Center and told everyone about the previous situation and the information about the corpse-collecting person.

"To be honest, I'm not sure about this information, but we should be safe underground currently. As long as the road is clear, we can transfer immediately if we encounter problems."

"Corpse-collecting person?" Brother Qian Qian Dele crossed his arms upon hearing this: "Every time I hear this name, there's never a good omen."

Xiang Xiang Ningjing looked at her: "Have you seen it?"

Brother Qian Qian Dele shrugged: "I haven't seen it, but when I escaped from the 4th Star Abyss, I encountered a very large monster tide. Of the dozen convoys I knew along the way, only I escaped. It is indeed a disaster star."

"I heard that the corpse-collecting person is the gatekeeper of the polar night tide," Mo Mo Nika also said at this moment: "Every Star Abyss has one. We are now on the northwest edge of the 5th Star Abyss. It shouldn't be surprising that this thing appears."

"Mm!" Shi Shi Diyuan also nodded. He looked at Lin Lin Xian: "Brother Lin, let's do as you say. Anyway, life is only one. Better to believe it than not. You found the escape route, which is better than our method of building tracks. At worst, we'll wait underground for a day. Anxiety won't kill anyone."

"I agree too," Luo Yang said at this moment: "We listen to Lin Dui's arrangement for everything."

Li Yi stood on the side, her expression bizarre: "Then Lin Dui, should we all stay on the train?"

Lin Lin Xian nodded and said: "This Crimson World has set up several secret permanent warehouses along the underground rail line in Yijin, with quite a lot of materials. Plus everyone rushed all the way from Xilan City, we just happen to take them to supply. Today we will rest in this tunnel, but for the sake of insurance, each convoy must have personnel on duty. Fungal threads have already penetrated into areas that are not deep. Avoid light if you should avoid light. All carriages should try to keep quiet. We might set off at any time!"

"Alright! Then let's do that. Convey it to those dozen convoys immediately. With so many people, scheduling is difficult. It's hard for a big ship to turn around. So many people must be cautious." Shi Shi Diyuan said.

After speaking, Lin Lin Xian's arrangement was quickly conveyed, and each convoy began to act.

In the surveillance lobby, Brother Qian Qian Dele, Mo Mo Nika, and others all came to the side of the glass curtain wall and looked at the honeycomb pit below, showing surprise.

"Upload consciousness, hallucination eternal life? Isn't this the digital life plan that was long ago explicitly prohibited?" Brother Qian Qian Dele crossed his arms and said: "Uploading one's consciousness into those disgusting mushroom fungal threads, just thinking about it is disgusting."

Mo Mo Nika also smiled: "Really a group of stupid people. Once infected by fungal threads, even if they are still alive, they are human-not-human, ghost-not-ghost. What's the point of living like this?"

Monica also smiled: "Truly stupid people. Once infected by fungal threads, even if they are still alive, they are neither human nor ghost. What's the point of living like that?"

"Should be wanting to avoid the reality of the apocalypse. The polar night can't be escaped. If this can avoid darkness invasion, perhaps it is also a way of gambling." Li Yi walked over with a big belly. She had seen all kinds of human tragedies along the way, and had seen many people who were not invaded by darkness but chose to end their lives to avoid reality because their inner beliefs collapsed. Compared to others, Li Yi's situation was much more difficult. So after merging with Luo Yang's team, both of them gave birth to the idea of wanting to join Infinite.

Li Yi looked at Lin Lin Xian who was busy arranging in the distance, her expression very complex. Luo Yang was fine. A team were all young people, full of vigor, with good brains and not bad combat power. But her convoy, the strongest combat power Liang Lei was now life or death unknown. She not only brought more than a dozen children in the car, but she was also a big belly. This sounded like a complete burden, which made her simply unable to summon the courage to speak to Lin Lin Xian.

"Eh! ~" At this moment, Lou Shasha leaned over and said curiously: "These people's survival cabins, why do they look like batteries."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's gaze looked at the honeycomb pit below at the same time. I saw the survival cabin lights in the honeycomb grids that were neatly arranged downward in circles kept flickering, looking like rows of neat battery compartments, transporting energy through fungal thread connections.

"Good fellow!"

Shi Shi Diyuan communicated with Lin Lin Xian at this moment, and the group walked over together.

"I heard that Dawn City also had people build hibernation cabins, sealing themselves in, wanting to wait for the apocalypse to pass after a hundred years."

"Thinking very beautifully," Brother Qian Qian Dele sneered: "Unless you can research technology that shields against darkness invasion, hibernation cabins are nothing more than zombie incubators in the polar night."

"Alright, don't worry about this place."

At this moment, Lin Lin Xian walked over and said to the crowd.

"The movement just now was not small. Everyone go back to the carriage first. There are still 40 minutes before the fungal thread active period ends. By then, countless bizarre bodies will be attracted. We will keep silent in the carriage. If it is safe, arrange for people to move the materials in the permanent warehouse first. For the remaining time, we should rest, rest, and prepare the train. This underground is dangerous if it collapses, and none of us can run away. If it is safe, as long as there is no fungal thread invasion, bizarre bodies can't get in."

"Right, let's act quickly." Chen Chen Sixuan also said at this moment.

As soon as Lin Lin Xian's words fell, everyone started to act immediately. Lin Lin Xian sealed the passage of the Zero Element Center with a mechanical door, then returned to Infinite with Chen Chen Sixuan and others. Kiki had already configured Lin Lin Xian's 20 Lei Sun drones, all of which flew to the darkness in the area of the subway connection port at the forefront of the joint train to begin patrolling, and everyone on Infinite finally returned to the train at this moment.

"The underground tunnel is very damp, plus the infiltration of those fungal threads, everyone pay more attention."

As soon as he got on the train, Lin Lin Xian said to everyone.

【Non-mechanical energy converted, obtained 1000 mechanical source points.】

At this moment, the light screen in front of him lit up again. The Hell Black Chrysanthemum actually gave Lin Lin Xian another 1000 mechanical source points!

"This S-level is really fat, actually obtained such a huge improvement."

Seeing this scene, Lin Lin Xian secretly thought in his heart.

You know, more than 40,000 survivors in the entire Xilan City survived. Even if there were individual differences, it was conceivable that these people had also obtained unprecedented huge improvements.

But the problem followed. Such a large dark energy was also a huge pressure on the body. As far as Lin Lin Xian knew, many people in the convoys had not yet recovered from that tragic battle. Anxiety, worry, fear, various negative emotions were breeding continuously.

For this reason, Lin Lin Xian specifically instructed each convoy that because they were deep in the polar night, plus the mental pressure of the team members themselves, they must do a good job of psychological counseling for all team members and improve their confidence. Otherwise, once alienation occurred, the original strong combat power would become the source of bad luck, triggering a chain reaction of infection. Then these 500+ sealed train carriages would become 500 sealed cans.

Very quickly, under Lin Lin Xian's arrangement, the joint train, after completing the carriage cleaning and the defense of the head and tail of the train, all entered a silent state, waiting for the end of the fungal thread active period.

Inside the No. 1 carriage of Infinite, the lights went out, the entire tunnel was pitch black, and the joint train was like a steel dragon buried deep underground, quiet at this moment.

Above the ground, the cycle of the fungal thread active period was about to end. The spore fog all over the city was becoming more and more intense. The fungal mats and various night-light mushrooms all over the streets and buildings swayed continuously in the breeze. Countless human-fungi stood quietly in the dark alleys, and the fungal thread vines connected to their bodies were connected to the ground fungal mats, and scarlet energy flowed continuously.

Inside the Infinite's Carriage No. 1, the lights went out, and the entire tunnel was pitch black. The United Train was like a steel giant dragon buried deep underground, quiet and still at this moment.

At this moment, the energy of the fungal thread vines under the huge sky-filling crown gathered continuously. The entire fungal cap seemed to emit some kind of ancient disaster's breathing. This breathing became heavier and heavier. Finally, at one moment, the huge sky-filling fungal cap began to leak black sticky mist like a torrent, pouring down directly, as if a huge hole appeared in the sky, and the black clouds fell to the ground!

The sticky mist was like a sea wave, beginning to dissipate continuously from the city center, submerging streets, submerging buildings, filling the dark alleys. Before long, the entire Yijin City began to be covered by this sticky mist. And in this thick black fog that couldn't be seen through and couldn't be touched, countless indescribable creatures emerged.

Bizarre whispers rang out in the dark alleys, and ear-piercing screeches echoed in the darkness. Terror was coming, and bizarre bodies descended!

Bizarre whispers sounded in the dark alleys, ear-piercing roars echoed in the darkness, terror was approaching, and the bizarre was descending!
