After running a while, his weakness eased slightly, so he deployed a swarm of flying drones to rapidly scan the interior structure—partly to find a relatively safe room, partly to locate a cargo deck or storage bay. He had checked the time earlier; nightfall was imminent. Perhaps here there was no longer day or night, but Chu Yan had said it was always better to hide inside a building than remain exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, avoid exposure. Then make other plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every few steps along the dark corridor, the ground was littered with corpse fragments, dried-out military uniforms, torn powered armor, and the twisted torsos of some bizarre monster—cold, foul, and reeking, utterly unlike the crimson sands outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian scanned the corpses and signs of battle along the way, frowning as he analyzed: “So many bodies were drained dry—these mutations… are different from previous human Gui .”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately recalled the zombies he’d seen on Hawaii Island, engulfed by crimson and undergoing Tunshi mutation—this was vastly different from the way former adepts had mutated into human Gui .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Definitely not a good sign—if we encounter one, it’ll be even harder to deal with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As thoughts raced through his mind, Lin Xian soon reached a living area; after scanning and identifying a relatively intact room, he said nothing, used his Mechanical Heart to forcibly open the automatic door, and slipped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He generated light, had the drones rapidly scan the air and sewage ducts—all within moments under his control. He was no longer the man he’d been in Jiangcheng; creating a shelter now was effortless. His only concern was the threats within the crimson that could not be blocked by structures—like that earlier “crimson flesh wall,” which ignored terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oo~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated a small energy stack; lights illuminated the room. He then constructed a fully sealed armored door to lock the automatic door shut, and dispatched forty micro-drones to continue searching other deck levels. Information was severely blocked within the crimson—drones lost connection after just a few hundred meters. To counter this, he used a point-array scanning pattern to ensure signals reached the farthest drones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished all this, Lin Xian unsealed his powered armor—hss… instantly, torrents of blood sprayed in all directions. He was now drenched in blood, a horrifying sight—yet his body bore no wounds. Gazing at his crimson-choked chest, his face grew grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that thing sweeps me two more times, even a superhuman will turn into dried meat…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough! Cough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian waved away dust and surveyed the interior—he realized this must have been an officer’s cabin. The space was large, with a private bathroom and an office area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the battle never reached here—the room showed no signs of struggle or corpses, and was relatively clean. He’d likely have to spend the night here. Originally, he’d planned to thoroughly explore the area, searching for his teammates and Phoenix Society information—but the sudden appearance of that eerie blood wall had caught him off guard. Lin Xian immediately realized: without understanding the crimson’s nature, reckless exploration was suicide. Even though he was desperate to find Chen Laoshi and the others, he could only hide for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian walked to the bathtub, turned the faucet—the pipes hissed emptily; not a single drop of water came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hss~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back against the edge of the tub, cleaned the blood off his body as best he could—the thick, cloying stench of blood surged into his throat. He thought to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I couldn’t block that thing with my AT field—it’s not an energy form, nor a physical object. How do I defend against it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anxiety and confusion swirled in his mind. He sighed—thankfully, he still had so many drones. He didn’t need to risk himself searching for supplies; once he located something, he’d send transport drones to retrieve it. If danger arose, he could avoid direct exposure entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought so—but out of caution, he spent time consuming all useless electrical devices in the room and constructed a Dark Energy Conformity Device to envelop the entire chamber, finally allowing himself a slight sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-19T18:20:07.351Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","435b3d858927a46c733a7033d5f7507336c94bb7943755ac4be7d82b8c510dba","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-510","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-508",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
