We dealt with one monster and temporarily suppressed the marker—but… we can’t get out from here anymore.” Chen Sixuan’s voice came through the headset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above ground, entire buildings lay in ruins, dust swirling through the corridors, flickering emergency lights dangling mid-air sparking with electricity. The main passage down to the lower base was choked with grotesque corpses oozing black smoke. Chen Sixuan, Qian Dele, and the rest of the team blocking the passage stared intently at the sealed corridor, not daring to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That black insect retreated again—should we chase it?” Shu Qin frowned, uneasy: “This thing feels too unusual. It’s always hiding in the flood channel—it’s definitely a threat to us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t chase it.” Qian Dele shook his head, gazing grimly at the battlefield: “Just avoiding detection is hard enough. We can’t afford to provoke those monsters—if we get marked again, we’re finished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ryan from the Falcon Sea Corps stepped forward, kicking aside a grotesque limb ahead, then turned to Chen Sixuan and the others: “We can’t activate the lattice power—our combat capability will be severely compromised.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Activating it wouldn’t matter anyway.” Mo Nika spoke calmly: “Our problem isn’t immediate combat power—it’s how to hide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s right.” Chen Sixuan nodded, preparing to regroup. She asked Lin Xian again over the comms:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, how’s your situation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No issues for now.” Lin Xian’s voice came through: “Chen Laoshi, get everyone to seal off all upper passages, then move everyone down to the lower level.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking with Chen Sixuan, Lin Xian immediately contacted Viola.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Recon drones detected numerous grotesque organisms entering Li Dao’s radar range.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, the Haiyan Prison was swarming with indescribable grotesques searching the area. The numerous floating drones, now under Viola’s control, had ceased all attacks. Viola hid behind a collapsed wall, directing high-altitude drones to scan the island from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before nightfall, Li Dao already bore the omen of apocalypse: heavy, filthy storm clouds loomed overhead, crushing the entire island. The sunlight had been utterly devoured, leaving no trace. The sea lay dead and black as a churning ink pool—thick, sluggish, churning into massive waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torrential rain poured down. Amid the curtain of rain, countless shadows rose from the sea, tearing through the waves—giant, slime-coated arthropod limbs, joints embedded with swollen, pupilless eyes that opened and closed endlessly; writhing, massive tentacle clusters bristling with suckers and fangs, like aggregated organs from a deep-sea tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These grotesque organisms defied human imagination, yet seemed fused from traits of deep-sea life—stitched, mutated, fractured, twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the entire island trembled. The beaches sank and churned under colossal weight, buried under thick, stinking mud. The forests, trees, and mountains were uprooted and torn apart. Through the drone feeds, only blurred shapes could be seen—countless massive shadows slowly approaching from all directions through the rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viola.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I’m here.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Recall all units underground. Abandon resistance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Viola understands.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the passage, Lin Xian saw the scenes from the energy-release port and the prison, as well as Chen Sixuan’s battlefield situation—he concluded the Great Ocean God had appeared in the southeast waters. The abnormal activity of monsters across all surrounding seas confirmed the situation had reached an extreme crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, the hunt was about to begin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, all resistance was meaningless. The only thing they could do was brace themselves and lie low in this submarine shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the middle level of the underground base housed over six hundred members from the Falcon Sea Corps and the Infinite, the vast majority belonging to the Falcon Sea Corps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offices and former rest areas were packed with people. Vast quantities of supplies and equipment, moved down by a mechanical team led by Azir of the Falcon Sea Corps, had nearly filled every laboratory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basement was thick with the sound of breathing. These Sea Corps members were far more organized than ordinary survivor groups—clearly divided into armed, logistics, medical, engineering, and even intelligence reconnaissance units. Despite the crowd, order remained sharp; no chaos erupted after Ryan’s orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the surveillance hall, the Infinite’s core members and Falcon Sea Corps leaders—Ryan, Vanessa, Gedi, Erica—were strategizing. With all plans shattered, the current situation had left everyone with no other escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The good news is, whether or not it was triggered by the Chasang Island energy-release port, that demon god has reappeared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian stood behind Kiki, who was operating the computer, arms crossed, staring at Ryan: “Ryan, during your tenure at the Foundation, how many ‘hunts’ have you experienced?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three.” Ryan adjusted his sunglasses: “The timing and progression aren’t under our control. I only know the intervals between hunts are roughly twenty to forty days. Also, once the hunt begins, for safety, the base goes silent for twelve hours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twelve hours?” Mo Nika asked: “Don’t you know what the surveillance recorded during that time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan shook his head: “No monitoring is possible. Like now—all surveillance equipment fails. Most get destroyed. After each hunt, the engineering team is sent to repair and replace them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the bad news is—we have no idea what’s coming next.” Lin Xian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze to Viola: “Viola, have you calculated it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Calculation complete. Based on available data, estimated success rate: 13.67%.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What success rate?” Vanessa asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Escaping Haiyan Island.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and laid out his plan outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Using the submarine in Shengcheng and the marine texts from the Phoenix Society in this region, I found a passage—likely an emergency evacuation route previously used by the Foundation. I think we might use it to get out of here.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1072,"2026-06-19T18:20:07.351Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6856ee205e0d857130cc22b45b68609b697b24680fc655889dd240c90163f734","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-462","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-460",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
