That means they didn’t occupy this place long-term; they only appeared recently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki nodded. “Something must have happened here—this shelter was overrun, and the underground tunnels were infiltrated by strange entities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Brother crossed his arms. “So we made this trip for nothing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s gaze sharpened. “At least I now have a rough idea of how those people arrived—and how they planned to leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean the submarine?” Kiki said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian watched the drone monitoring the collapsed warehouse entrance, ensuring the black worm-like monster hadn’t surfaced, then said: “But we still haven’t found the middle-aged man who used the forbidden item. Also, submarines travel through deep sea—which should be even more dangerous than the surface. That doesn’t quite add up…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki looked worried. “I wonder how Chen Jie is doing—has the Dark Mark been removed? Otherwise, these strange entities drawn by Shengcheng might swallow our Infinite outright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Xian’s expression darkened. His communication drones couldn’t reach Chen Sixuan across the ocean, leaving him unsettled. His original plan had been to strike directly at Shengcheng’s stronghold and prevent them from attacking the Infinite again after nightfall. In this situation—surrounded by giant beasts—a simple decoy could easily trap them in utter peril. So he’d sent Chen Sixuan to relocate and remove the mark, while he led the team to pursue the man who’d escaped using a forbidden item. That man’s escape left Lin Xian uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they even entered the underground lair, they’d been blocked by a hidden strange entity lurking in the tunnel, its dark aura exploding in intensity. Though the creature’s size was far smaller than Special or A-Class entities, Lin Xian felt its threat level approached S-Class darkness concentration—otherwise, Bai wouldn’t have been so violently shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That thing blocks the tunnel—we can’t get through,” Ning Jing said now. “But… could the people down there be gone too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gone would be better,” Kiki said. “We only feared they’d attack us again after nightfall. Once tonight passes, we leave this hellhole. We don’t care about this base or anything in it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian fell into deep thought, the memory fragment of Gu Zheng flashing before his eyes again, causing his head to throb. Then he suddenly heard the muffled drum-like sound and snapped open his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s what that noise was—it’s coming from inside the submarine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Team Leader Lin?” Ning Jing looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shengcheng has more than just surface teams—they have a submarine force,” Lin Xian said, frowning sharply. “Strange. The Hawk Sea Clan dare not sail recklessly through dangerous waters, yet they can—and even venture deep underwater…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki looked at Lin Xian. “Are you suspecting they have a way to avoid strange entities?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian shook his head, his expression grave. “If the Shengcheng Organization truly communicates with the Dark Civilization, then the Descenders are the human resistance against them. If so, them possessing such a method makes sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true—if they’re traitors, maybe the Dark Civilization gave them some kind of pass…” Kiki said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A pass?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just guessing—basically, if the Dark Civilization treats them as allies, could they really be immune to strange entity attacks?” Kiki asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Jing frowned. “But this group was clearly attacked earlier today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Debating this is pointless,” Lin Xian cut in. “We’re here now. We must investigate this submarine base. Acting first is better than waiting passively for the Descenders’ lackeys to strike. And military bases like this might still hold useful items.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Like a nuclear submarine?” Bai Xiaoqing murmured from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian said: “Or some forbidden item, or a calamity plant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… how do we get in?” Ning Jing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are plenty of ways in,” Kiki said, rapidly operating her mobile terminal and quickly mapping the base’s general layout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This submarine harbor has no outer port—it’s a top-secret inner harbor. Meaning the port was built inside the island’s mountain body. Look at this island’s terrain: a massive underground cavity, plus a deep underwater cliff—it’s the perfect hidden inner harbor. No wonder they built it here. Submarines can resupply and repair here without being detected by satellites…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki pointed to a valley on the offline map. “There’s a secret passage here—looks like an old mine tunnel, but sealed off. That’s the real entrance. The flood channel beneath the prison is the backup entrance, located directly below Prison Block One. The hole under this warehouse was probably an accidental explosion. Aside from these two routes, the only other way in is through the submarine’s deep-water floating harbor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget the deep-water harbor. Focus on these two land-based entrances,” Lin Xian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The tunnel on this side has that monster—we can only try entering through the mountain entrance on the other side?” Ning Jing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian and Kiki analyzed the blueprint. The entrance structure was built to an extremely high standard, but this secret submarine harbor was clearly old. After the Federation Government was established, all regional powers centralized their secret military forces under Longguo’s leadership, and the Interstellar Army was born under this context.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The tsunami flood channel and the submarine base are one integrated system—designed for tidal flow and extreme emergencies. If strange entities have infiltrated this channel, the base interior is unsafe too,” Lin Xian frowned. He never advocated nighttime operations—once marked, even a Level One mark was extremely dangerous. But now they were trapped on the island; the Great Ocean God might be lurking nearby in sea or sky. Knowing they were targeted by the Descenders, how could he sit idle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Hawk Sea Clan’s Ryan had mentioned a possible forbidden item capable of affecting the Garan undersea volcano. Now it seemed likely connected to the fleeing middle-aged man. Lin Xian felt this threat had to be clarified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t rush. Night operations are inconvenient. This island may be small, but it’s no safe place. The problem is Wei’ola isn’t here. Still, I’ll send a robot ahead—set patrol points and scan for Soul-Drain values. That’s safer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki nodded. “Good idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian raised his hand—the Black Star Forge flashed. Out came an ACT mech identical to Qian Suxun’s. This mech was Lin Xian’s prototype for neural-interaction systems, designed to interface with super-large mechs, with added remote-control upgrades enabling functions impossible for drones. With no other options, he deployed it to replace Wei’ola for remote reconnaissance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian handed control to Kiki. The girl immediately took charge, designing patrol routes. Soon, a sleek humanoid mech, accompanied by several scout drones, dropped from the prison tower under the night sky and surged into the forest at high speed. The sudden movement startled numerous zombies that had escaped from the prison—howls erupted across the darkness, writhing in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lin Xian began rebuilding the information link toward the main island using drones. Though ocean waves churned and low-flying drones risked destruction by surges or strange entities, he no longer cared. Drones could be rebuilt; strange entities couldn’t track his position through them. His immediate priority: contact the Infinite and confirm the base was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prison tower stood silent in darkness. The team communicated via power armor holograms, only faint fluorescent energy lines glowing outside their armor. The surroundings were utterly still—but everyone here had experience. Dark patches in open areas were deadly. Even C- or D-Class strange entities were troublesome at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Kiki’s screen, she had fully interfaced with the ACT mech, which sped along a mountain road to the northwest foot of Li Island’s mountain. In the night-vision feed, an abandoned military outpost appeared—then the mech passed through a barrier and reached a massive, cave-like entrance in the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a massive blast-proof door. Kiki approached, opened the terminal cover on the side panel, and revealed an aged access panel.\u003C\u002Fp>",1388,"2026-06-19T18:20:07.351Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2a6e76230886e9bab4c24c7449c19e74c54aca1bf8ddcc737936f813e2afca72","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-442","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-440",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
