the train sped across a desolate plain, its armored hull gilded with a thin layer of gold, the windows reflecting a sky so blue it seemed nearly transparent, occasional cloud shadows gliding past like silent ghosts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the carriage, the PA system played soothing music, dust motes floated and slowly spun in beams of light; in Carriage 2, Shasha slept by the window, her eyelashes casting delicate shadows on her cheeks, Kiki, in a crisp short-sleeved hoodie, used telekinesis to spin several colorful lollipops while lounging in a swivel chair, watching a variety show before the Day of Revelation, her face lit with a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The research carriage had become a forest of plants—crisp, ink-green—and stepping inside felt several degrees cooler; Miao Lu and Xiao Yuan, under Director Ding’s guidance, meticulously recorded the growth of various plants under abundant sunlight, while Viola had replaced Grace’s role as the new Infinite’s AI steward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the power carriage group, all other carriages had been replaced by higher-specification Mo Queen carriages, integrated with partial armaments from the Silent City and Emperor Project; now, apart from one Eternal-class “Tianxing 5c” nuclear power carriage and Lin Xian’s retained Weilong-class traction carriage, all others had been reconfigured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carriage 5 now housed, besides Da Lou and Huo Ge, two others: Huo Ge’s disciple, Mo Xiaotian, son of Sun Yuzhen, and Long Zhijie, an inorganic kinetic energy adept from Silent City who had broken through the Angel rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not Lin Xian’s arrangement, but a special request from Wangyue Zhenji under the Phoenix Society’s “Starfire Project”; after the Battle of Shuguang City, Silent City suffered severe battle damage; now that the three major Star Abysses had stabilized, Wangyue Zhenji combined Emperor Project tech with Deep Crimson world exosuit technology and Shuguang City’s dark energy resonance data to initiate Silent City’s renovation at Yongcheng Port, while also supporting Shuguang City’s repairs—and upon hearing Lin Xian planned to cross the Pacific via the Republic Shelter Islands to enter South America’s Ushuaia, he assigned Silent City’s two most promising adepts, Long Zhijie and Shizhi, to join Lin Xian’s transoceanic rail journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goal was simple: participate in Lin Xian’s “protection,” while Wangyue Zhenji hoped these two would achieve greater growth in their abilities, becoming major assets later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian knew the man’s intentions, but his own route across the ocean had personal objectives—he couldn’t bring many; for safety, the Infinite Alliance joined the Phoenix Society’s Dawn Center, with Jian Xuxi, Jiang Yun, and Shi Di leading the Silver Star, the combined train, and a massive convoy toward Qionggu Strait, while Lin Xian joined Ye Lan’s “Starfire Project.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Starfire Project was a proactive defense plan announced by Phoenix Society commander Ye Lan after declaring the Deterrence Era had begun, in response to all thirteen Star Abysses entering an unknown state of stasis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the defense of Shuguang City, the Dark Crisis underwent a major shift: Star Abysses 5, 7, and 8, after contracting back to their original sizes, unexpectedly entered a slow expansion phase—better than the Phoenix Society had anticipated; combining Lin Xian’s data from the Corpse-Driving Alliance and the Crescent Moon Operation, Ye Lan concluded that humanity, having mastered dark energy resonance conversion and reclaimed the space defense platform to counterattack the Corpse-Drivers in Star Abyss 5, had rendered this unpredictable latent threat capable of triggering a strategic shift in the Dark Civilization’s perception of humanity—perhaps toward caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put: humans who could remain silent in the Dark while shielding themselves from its invasion had become entities with both “drug resistance” and threat potential; in a world where civilization’s information had returned to darkness and opacity, humanity—once mere ants—now had the possibility of confrontation or active survival strategy choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Starfire Project was launched with two core objectives: first, to use dark energy shielding to reverse humanity’s disadvantage in the Dark, conduct comprehensive and deep investigations into all Star Abysses, and attempt to reactivate humanity’s greatest weapon—nuclear arms—to establish a potential military deterrent; second, to employ S-class exosuit technology in a second attempt to breach the Celestial Veil, aiming to open the Polar Kunlun Core and investigate the possibility of restarting the Moon Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The successful counterattack at Shuguang City and the establishment of the Starfire Project greatly boosted the morale of the last surviving humans worldwide; most crucially, everyone now knew humanity could survive dark invasions, infections could be shielded, and water resources could be reclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Carriage 5, Lin Xian was testing a new battle armor he had crafted for Da Lou, while Huo Ge, Long Zhijie, and Mo Xiaotian sat nearby sipping iced tea, watching curiously as the nearly two-meter-tall Da Lou donned the enhanced mech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uuu~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Lin Xian’s mechanical ability, Da Lou’s mechanical units automatically bolted into place; the two custom-designed Qilin mechanical arms, besides combat functions, were equipped with underwater and deep-space thrusters and featured a complete life-support system—undoubtedly a devastating weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian gazed at his creation, eyes filled with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Lou, try it out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou, curious, examined the two mechanical arms—accidentally triggered something—the arm’s mechanical hatches opened, launching several small destruction missiles that immediately targeted Huo Ge and the others drinking tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey hey hey… Big Brother Da Lou!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lou, wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Ge and Mo Xiaotian nearly choked on their iced tea, instantly assuming defensive stances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou panicked—then, in his panic, the thruster system suddenly activated, the leg heat fins powering on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xian Ge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Lou was terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian, beside him, simply snapped his fingers, instantly shutting down the battle armor’s weapon systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xian Ge… I’ve never used powered armor before—is this really suitable for me? After all, my ability…” Da Lou spoke, embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Xian shook his head, solemnly saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s perfect for you. I’ve wanted to equip you with this for a long time. Your ability is blood qi—you can’t keep brawling with weird bodies. And once we enter the Pacific, you’ll need mobility underwater and in the air; you can’t be swimming through the ocean with your Zhangang  sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Brother is right,” Lu Xingchen nodded in agreement: “Even though I can command fire and fly, I still rely on powered armor for assistance. This Black Dragon armor is custom-made for you by Lin Brother—I’m certain you can wield it fully.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, yeah, it’s awesome!” Mo Xiaotian added, eyes gleaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian pointed to Long Zhijie, who sat quietly sipping tea, and smiled: “Look at this guy—a universal adept, also in powered armor; it enhances both combat capability and mobility and defense. Better safe than sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, Xian Ge, I’ll study it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Da Lou was delighted—he turned, and the Black Dragon armor hissed with hydraulic sound; though heavy-looking, it housed a powerful energy core that amplified Da Lou’s explosive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carriage 6 now served as the train’s storage and dining car, packed densely with all manner of supplies; in the center stood a specially designed sunken corridor sofa, large enough to seat the entire carriage’s twenty-odd members for meals or meetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, the dining car was lively: Chen Sixuan, Xiang Ningjing, Shu Qin, and Sun Yuzhen were organizing and inventorying supplies; on the sofa, Qian Dele, Luo Yang, and Lu Chang were playing cards; nearby sat the silent Bai Ye and Xiao Qing; Mo Nika sat farthest away, legs crossed, sipping red wine, smiling faintly at Lin Xian’s entrance before returning to watching the sunlight and scenery outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the core backbone of the Infinite Alliance were all here; Liang Lei and Li Yi, facing childbirth, along with the elderly Mo and the children who weren’t combat-capable, had joined the Infinite Alliance’s land column, taking a safer route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Team Leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Xian enter, Xiang Ningjing stepped forward first: “Are we entering the Oceanic Track tomorrow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian nodded: “The weather’s good today—we’ll stop by the coast for the night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True, the weather’s perfect,” Qian Dele leaned back in his sunglasses, relaxed: “Better than fighting—rail travel is far more comfortable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t a trip,” Luo Yang said seriously: “We’re crossing the Pacific, meeting Noah at sea, heading to the Republic Islands—there’s no telling what troubles lurk in these waters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And we must cross Star Abyss 13,” Xiang Ningjing turned and smiled at Qian Dele: “This time, no detours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doesn’t matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Dele remained unfazed: “Whether it’s deep-sea monsters or zombie hordes, if I treat it all as scenery, it’s still a trip.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re quite optimistic,” Chen Sixuan smiled: “The Ring-Star Oceanic section runs along the mid-ocean ridge—in other words, we’ll follow the edge of the Pacific’s deepest trench. Didn’t you say you had deep-sea phobia?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Dele’s smile vanished—he lifted his sunglasses, glanced at Chen Sixuan, then at Lin Xian: “Now that you mention it… it doesn’t seem so beautiful anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can still change your mind,” Lin Xian walked over and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nah,” Qian Dele looked at Lin Xian, put his sunglasses back on, and said calmly: “I’ll stick with you. Mo Nika’s right—following you always means survival. You turned the tide even at Shuguang City’s darkest hour with the Southern Gate. I should contribute to saving the world too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian smiled, then nodded toward Mo Nika.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks for the ride, Mo Queen—this Infinite is now at peak condition; aside from not being able to fly, it’s fully equipped.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Nika smiled gracefully: “You’re welcome. I’m still waiting to ride your Sky Dome Starship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian turned and walked toward Carriage 1; behind Carriage 6 lay the living quarters for these core members: Mo Nika still lived alone in a luxurious Carriage 9; Qian Dele, Luo Yang, Lu Chang, and Bai Ye shared Carriage 8; Shu Qin, Xiao Qing, Miao Lu, Xiang Ningjing, and Shizhi lived in Carriage 7; the final Carriage 10 was Lin Xian’s contingency unit—the Whale 03e Heavy Gas Turbine Power Car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power titan, which had accompanied Lin Xian all along, he brought along—perhaps it would prove vital at a critical moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the rear carriages forward, Lin Xian reached Carriage 4; upon entering, he saw vast greenery—dense trees, vegetables, fruits; the transparent sunlight dome overhead opened, turning the entire carriage into a forest, refreshing the spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Team Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan, picking fruit with Miao Lu, stood up at Lin Xian’s approach, greeting him cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, tomatoes and cucumbers today!” Lin Xian’s eyes lit up—he grabbed a cucumber from Xiao Yuan’s basket, rubbed it on his clothes, and bit into it—immediately, crisp, sweet, juicy flavor burst in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The sunlight’s been excellent lately—growing fast,” Xiao Yuan smiled gently: “I heard you need more vitamins after long sea voyages, so Director Ding switched to planting more fruits and vegetables.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly,” Miao Lu chimed in eagerly: “These cucumbers were planted yesterday—they’re already fruiting today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yield and output—this is a god-tier ability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian bit off another piece of cucumber: “This ability isn’t even recorded in the Phoenix Society’s official logs—only one exists, right here on our train.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the only mechanical ability is also on our train,” Miao Lu grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian smiled, then walked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1903,"2026-06-19T18:20:07.351Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","72d2b55f14d31448ac6a7c1a4cb698f90b3180a62fe79796c4d8bd86dff0a44e","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-412","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-410",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
