Chapter 411: Sword Holder!

Clang, clang.

The iron wheels of the Infinite rolled over the old-style transport tracks of Yongcheng Port and began to merge into the main ring star track. The adaptive magnetic levitation device started, the sound of iron wheels and tracks disappeared, and it began to accelerate quietly.

Lin Xian had forgotten which day it was when the sun was last so bright. The train drove across a barren plain, the heavy armored body plated with a thin layer of gold, the train window reflecting the sky, blue to the point of being almost transparent, occasionally cloud shadows sweeping past like silent ghosts.

Inside the carriage, the broadcast system played melodious music, dust floating in the light beams, slowly rotating. In Carriage No. 2, Shasha fell asleep leaning against the window, her eyelashes casting tiny shadows on her cheeks. Kiki, in fresh shorts and a hoodie, used telekinesis to rotate a few colorful lollipops, leisurely watching variety shows from before the Apocalypse on a swivel chair, with a bright smile on her face.

The research carriage had completely turned into a forest of plants, crisp and dark green. Walking in, it felt a bit cooler. Miao Lu and Xiao Yuan, under the leadership of Director Ding, carefully recorded the growth of various plants under the abundant sunlight. Viola replaced Grace's work and became the AI butler on the new Infinite.

Except for the power carriage group, all other carriages were replaced by Lin Xian using higher-spec Queen Mo-class automated carriages, combined with some armaments from the Silent City and the Emperor Project. Now, except for an Eternal-class "Tianxing 5C" nuclear-powered carriage and the Weilong-class tractor carriage retained by Lin Xian, all other carriages had been readjusted.

Carriage No. 5 now housed two more people besides Dalou and Fire Brother: Fire Brother's apprentice, Sun Yuzhen's son Mo Xiaotian, and Long Zhijie, an inorganic power ability user from the Silent City who had already broken through to the Angel level.

This was not Lin Xian's arrangement, but a special request from Mochizuki Shinji under the Phoenix Society's "Starfire Project." In the battle of Dawn City, the Silent City suffered severe battle damage. Now that the 3 major Star Abysses were stable, Mochizuki Shinji combined the Emperor Project and the colonial technology of the Deep Red World, plus the dark energy synchronization data of Dawn City, and started the transformation work of the Silent City at Yongcheng Port. At the same time, he also supported the repair project of Dawn City. And this guy heard that Lin Xian was preparing to go from the Pacific Ocean through the Republic Sanctuary Islands and then enter Ushuaia, South America, and actually arranged the two ability users with the greatest potential in the Silent City, Long Zhijie and Hearing Shizhi, into Lin Xian's ocean orbit journey.

The purpose was simple: to participate in the "protection" work for Lin Xian, and at the same time, Mochizuki Shinji hoped that the abilities of these two people would gain greater growth and become a major help later on.

Lin Xian knew this guy's thoughts, but he had his own plans for this ocean orbit journey and couldn't take too many people. For safety considerations, the Infinite Alliance joined the Phoenix Society's Dawn Center, with Jian Xuwei, Jiang Yun, and Shi Diyuan leading the Silver Star, the joint train, and a huge convoy to the Qiong Gu Strait, while Lin Xian joined Ye Lan's "Starfire Project"!

The Starfire Project was an active defense plan announced by Phoenix Society Commander Ye Lan after announcing the start of the Deterrence Era, in response to the unknown stagnant state of the 13 Star Abysses globally.

After the Dawn City defense battle, the dark crisis ushered in a huge change. After the 5th, 7th, and 8th Star Abysses shrank back to their original scale, they unexpectedly entered a state of slow expansion. This was even better than the Phoenix Society's original expectations. Through the summary of Lin Xian and Chu Yan connecting to the Corpse-Carrier and Operation Crescent Moon, Phoenix Society Commander Ye Lan believed that after humans mastered the synchronization conversion of dark energy and recaptured the space defense platform to counterattack the 5th Star Abyss Corpse-Carrier, this unpredictable hidden threat caused the dark civilization to highly likely have "cautious" or other strategic intent changes toward human civilization.

Simply put, humans who remained silent in the darkness while being able to shield against dark invasion became a kind of existence with "drug resistance" and threat, which allowed humans, who were like ants, to have the possibility of confrontation or actively making survival strategy choices in a state where civilization information returned to darkness and was opaque.

So the Starfire Project was born. Its purpose was divided into two items: first, to use the advantage of dark energy shielding to reverse the disadvantage of humans in the darkness, then conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of all Star Abysses, and try to use this technology to let humans' major killer weapon: nuclear weapons, play a role, seeking the possibility of establishing military deterrence. The second was to use S-class colonial technology to try to break through the Sky Veil Giant Screen for the second time, with the purpose of opening up the Polar Kunlun hub and investigating the possibility of restarting the Mochizuki Planetary Ring.

The successful counterattack of Dawn City and the establishment of the Starfire Project greatly boosted the confidence of the remaining human survivors all over the world. Most importantly, everyone knew that humans could survive in the dark invasion, infection was shielded, and water resources could be regained.

Carriage No. 5, Lin Xian was testing a set of new battle armor he made for Dalou, while Fire Brother, Long Zhijie, and Mo Xiaotian were drinking iced tea on the side, curiously watching the nearly two-meter-tall Dalou in this rampaging mech.

Woo~

Under the control of Lin Xian's mechanical ability, the mechanical units all over Dalou's body began to automatically bolt and fix. The two special Qilin mechanical arms, in addition to exerting combat effects, were also equipped with underwater and deep-space thrusters, with a perfect life support system. It could be said that it was absolutely a major killer weapon.

"Hmm, not bad."

Lin Xian looked at his masterpiece at this time, with a bit of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Dalou, you try it."

Dalou looked at the two mechanical arms very curiously. By accident, he triggered something, the mechanical gate on the arm opened, several small destruction missiles rose directly, and then aimed at Fire Brother and others who were drinking tea on the side.

"Hey, hey, hey... Brother Dalou!"

"Brother Lou, wait!"

Fire Brother and Mo Xiaotian were almost choked by the iced tea, and in an instant, they hurriedly put on defensive postures.

Dalou was suddenly panicked, but in his nervousness, the propulsion system was suddenly opened, and the heat dissipation fins on his legs began to start.

"Brother Xian!"

Dalou panicked.

Lin Xian on the side snapped his fingers directly, and then turned off the weapon system of Dalou's battle armor.

"Brother Xian... I have never used power armor. Will this not be suitable for me? After all, my ability..." Dalou said with some embarrassment.

Who knew that Lin Xian shook his head and said seriously.

"It is very suitable for you. I have long wanted to prepare a set for you. Your ability is blood energy, but you can't always fight hand-to-hand with eerie bodies. And once we enter the Pacific Ocean, we need mobility underwater and in the air. At that time, you can't always swim in the Pacific Ocean with a steel-slashing greatsword."

"Brother Lin is right." Lu Xingchen nodded very approvingly and said, "Even if this venerable one can control fire and fly, he also needs to use power armor for certain assistance. This set of Black Dragon Armor is specially customized for you by Brother Lin. This venerable one believes that Brother Lou, you can fully exert it."

"Yes, yes, yes, very handsome!" Mo Xiaotian also said with bright eyes.

Lin Xian pointed to Long Zhijie, who was drinking tea silently without speaking, and said with a smile, "Look at this one, an all-around ability user, also in power armor, which improves combat effectiveness and enhances mobility and defense. Better safe than sorry."

"Okay, Brother Xian, then I will study it."

Dalou was very happy when he heard Lin Xian say this. As soon as he turned around, this set of Black Dragon Armor brought up a burst of hydraulic sound. It looked heavy, but it actually had a powerful energy core, which could help Dalou generate greater explosive power.

Carriage No. 6 was now used as the train's storage and dining car. It was densely packed with all kinds of materials. In the middle of the carriage was a special sunken corridor sofa, which could accommodate more than 20 people in the whole carriage to dine and rest together, and could also be used for discussion.

And at this time, the dining car was very lively. Chen Sixuan, Xiang Xiang Ningjing, Hearing Shu Qin, and Sun Yuzhen were placing and checking materials. On the sofa, Qian Dele, Luo Yang, and Lv Chang were playing cards. Not far away, the silent Abai and Xiaoqing were also sitting. Mo Nika sat at the far end with a glass of red wine, her legs crossed. Seeing Lin Xian come in, she smiled at him slightly, and then continued to watch the sunshine scenery outside the train.

It could be said that the core backbone of the Infinite Alliance was basically here, while the couple Liang Lei and Li Yi had to face childbirth, and the old Mo and a group of children who were not good at fighting all followed the Infinite Alliance's land troops to march, taking a safer route.

"Lin Dui."

Seeing Lin Xian come in, Xiang Xiang Ningjing took the lead and walked over, "Are we entering the ocean orbit tomorrow?"

Lin Xian nodded, "The weather is good today, let's enter the coastline and rest for a night first."

"Indeed, the weather is really good." Qian Dele leaned back wearing sunglasses, looking leisurely, "Compared to fighting and so on, traveling by train is much more comfortable."

"This is not a trip for us." Luo Yang said seriously, "We have to cross the Pacific Ocean, and we have to meet with the sea city Noah and head to the Republic Islands. There might be some trouble in this sea."

"And we must cross the 13th Star Abyss." Xiang Xiang Ningjing turned back and smiled at Qian Dele, "It won't be so easy to take a detour this time."

"Doesn't matter."

Qian Dele still didn't change his expression when he heard these, "No matter if it's a deep-sea giant beast or a zombie tide outside, as long as I think of it as scenery in my heart, it's a trip."

"You are quite optimistic." Chen Sixuan said with a smile, "The ocean section of the ring star orbit has to be opened on the sea ridge. In other words, we have to move along the edge of the deepest trench in the Pacific Ocean. Didn't you say before that you have deep-sea phobia?"

Qian Dele's smile stopped abruptly when he heard this. He raised his sunglasses, looked at Chen Sixuan, and then at Lin Xian, "Now that you mention it, it doesn't seem so beautiful."

"It's not too late to change your mind now." Lin Xian walked over and said.

"Forget it." Qian Dele looked at Lin Xian, put his sunglasses back on, and said leisurely, "I'd better follow you. Mo Nika is right, following you always gives me a way to live. You reversed the battle situation in Dawn City, which was so desperate, with the South Tianmen. I also have to contribute to saving the world."

Lin Xian smiled, and then didn't forget to signal to Mo Nika.

"Thank you for your train, Queen Mo. This Infinite is now in its prime state. Except for not being able to fly, it can be considered fully functional."

Mo Nika smiled slightly and said to him elegantly, "You're welcome. I'm still waiting to sit on your Sky Dome Starship."

"Soon."

After Lin Xian finished speaking, he turned and walked toward Carriage No. 1. Behind Carriage No. 6 were the living cabins of these backbone members. Except for Mo Nika, who still lived alone in a luxury Carriage No. 9, Qian Dele, Luo Yang, Lv Chang, Abai, etc., all lived in a Carriage No. 8. Hearing Shu Qin, Xiaoqing, Miao Lu, Xiang Xiang Ningjing, and Hearing Shizhi lived in a Carriage No. 7. The last Carriage No. 10 was a special power carriage prepared by Lin Xian for emergencies—the Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine train.

This power god of war that accompanied Lin Xian all the way, Lin Xian also brought it along, and it might play a role at some critical moments.

From the rear carriage to the front, Lin Xian came to Carriage No. 4. As soon as he entered, he saw a large area of green plants. There were not only various green trees but also all kinds of vegetables and fruits. The transparent sunshine canopy on the roof of the carriage was opened, and the whole carriage was like being in a forest, which was refreshing.

"Lin Dui!"

Xiao Yuan, who was picking fruits and vegetables with Miao Lu, saw Lin Xian walking over and hurriedly stood up, greeting him happily.

"Wow, there are tomatoes and cucumbers today." Lin Xian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but take a cucumber from Xiao Yuan's basket, rubbed it on his clothes, and took a bite directly. Immediately, a clear, sweet, and juicy taste crunched in his mouth.

"The sun has been good these days, and they grow very fast." Xiao Yuan smiled gently, "I heard that if you stay at sea for too long, you need to supplement more vitamins, so Director Ding changed to planting a lot of fruits and vegetables."

"That's right, Director Ding's ability to urge plants is very fast." Miao Lu on the side also echoed and nodded hurriedly, "These cucumbers were planted only yesterday, and they can bear fruit today!"

"Increased quantity and production, it's simply a god-level ability."

Lin Xian took a bite of the cucumber, "This ability is not yet in the official records of the Phoenix Society, and the only one is on our train."

"The only mechanical ability is also on our train." Miao Lu said with a smile.

Lin Xian smiled, and then walked forward. ===== CHAPTER 412 =====
