Looks like I overestimated the threat...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet before the blood on the “Dragon Girl”’s electric blade could drip, a faster shadow glided soundlessly down from the ceiling, emerging from the thick darkness—a second one, undetected by the dark energy scanner. In an instant, dozens of glowing filaments, like living venomous snakes, precisely coiled around the “Dragon Girl”’s right arm joint, still extended from her recent strike. A powerful energy interference pulse surged along the filaments; with a shrill short-circuit explosion, the hydraulic lines at the elbow burst into a cloud of oil mist, sparks flared wildly, and the entire arm went limp, the VK electric blade’s glow extinguished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disconnect the link! Sever the arm!” The sudden change caught Lin Xian off guard, but he reacted instantly and decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This monster seemed capable of consuming energy integrations—a physical-level dissolution force more terrifying than corrosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, upon Lin Xian’s command, the “Dragon Girl”’s left-arm VK blade spun backward, its cold blue light slicing precisely across her own right shoulder joint—shhh! Sparks and severed cables erupted; the heavy metal right arm, still wrapped in glowing filaments, clattered to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost as the severed arm hit the floor, the “Dragon Girl”’s remaining left arm shot upward; her palm armor slid open, revealing an internal nozzle rapidly charging to a blinding, sunlike white glow. The next second, three silver plasma beams lashed out violently, pinning the monster directly to the wall—not with an explosion, but with blinding white light and a grating, sizzling sound of vaporization. The monster burned silently within the torrent of pure energy, leaving only charred marks on the floor and a sharp ozone stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Xian immediately launched all the dozen or so micro-drones he had prepped, flooding the area with light and swiftly scanning the entire storage bay. Only after confirming no other living entities remained did he finally relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the shelter room, Lin Xian stared through his holographic interface at the arm lying before the “Dragon Girl,” now reduced to dull, ashen metallic debris, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close call!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Lin Xian had robots to test the waters—losing one arm was trivial for him to repair. The monster wasn’t particularly strong; the “Dragon Girl” could have taken it down with one strike. But those filaments... that ability truly gave him pause. If contact meant even an interstellar-grade power armor couldn’t resist, this could be a death sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s emotions were complex. As he pondered, he directed the drones and the “Dragon Girl” to conduct a full exploration of the storage bay—when suddenly, he noticed something odd on the feed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This supply compartment still had a reserve power system operating at low energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On-screen, the drones located an open service conduit directly linked to a small ultra-energy capacitor system in another compartment. The two strange monsters had clearly been consuming this power—and it appeared the entire area had been without electricity for several hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Consuming energy... human electrical and dark energy have become interchangeable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hss~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the “Dragon Girl”’s mech remotely opened the supply compartment door. As soon as it opened, a jet of white frost mixed with faint crimson mist erupted outward. Seeing this, Lin Xian’s expression shifted—he immediately ordered all drones to enter. This time, he quickly realized: though many supplies inside had begun to decay as before, the degree of decay was vastly different—some items still looked remarkably fresh, even seemingly edible...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this applied only to canned goods and unspoiled purified water. All fresh produce and ordinary food inside refrigerators had completely molded. This decay had nothing to do with the refrigerators—the drones even detected that the internal temperatures remained relatively low, confirming the power outage had been recent. Yet food had spoiled in such a short time—this must be tied to the crimson mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Xian realized a critical point: this supply compartment might possess an independent technology capable of preventing food spoilage—and it was only after the power cut that the crimson corruption reached here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian immediately stood up, his heartbeat quickening. If his guess was right, it meant Phoenix Society had already developed methods to preserve food and survive within the crimson corruption—indicating Phoenix Society might still exist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humanity hasn’t been wiped out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s voice trembled. He donned his power armor and moved swiftly along the original path toward the supply compartment. While retrieving supplies, he needed to locate the storage equipment or device, scan it, and replicate it—otherwise, these supplies might not even last until tonight, rendering all this effort meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian moved with swift precision, no wasted motion. He soon reached the compartment and immediately deployed dozens of transport drones to begin hauling the supplies he needed. Then he activated a full mechanical scan of the entire room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing on his experience, Lin Xian quickly identified within the storage room’s mechanical structure a standalone device constructed from multiple interconnected pipelines. Clearly a later modification, it was designed exclusively for this supply compartment. Most crucially, Lin Xian found Blood Essence on this device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it's a dark energy generator—a device that produces some kind of frequency or isolation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he scanned the blueprint, Lin Xian began consuming materials from the storage bay for material conversion, preparing for later replication. He was increasingly astonished by the design—it resembled an upgraded version of a dark energy resonance device. Though he didn’t yet understand the principle, his grasp of mechanical structure allowed him to deduce it was a frequency generator using dark energy conversion, capable of somehow isolating the crimson corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strange—if such a device exists, why wasn’t it installed across the entire starship? Only used for food storage? Or is this a backup solution...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overthinking wouldn’t help now. He completed the blueprint scan, then removed one Level-3 Blood Essence from the device to return to the shelter and fabricate a simplified version immediately. He currently had zero Blood Essence on hand—so a ready-made one couldn’t be left behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All the Blood Essence is stored with Chen Laoshi... Sigh. Phoenix Society’s response was this fast—I hope everyone’s still safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the shelter room, Lin Xian wasted no time. He activated all manufacturing sequences and, in an extremely short time, produced a “storage unit” the size of a small truck bed. All the resources the drones had “rescued” were dumped inside. Once the Level-3 Blood Essence and energy capacitor were activated, he was stunned to see the crimson mist inside vanish at an astonishing speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Instant effect...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished everything, Lin Xian slumped onto a stool, drenched in sweat, staring at the storage unit before him. Every second of this operation had been urgent—he dared not waste a moment, terrified of losing these hard-won supplies. If he failed tonight, it would be over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After catching his breath, Lin Xian rose and stepped into his personal storage locker, intending to open two cans and check their condition. But the moment he entered, his vision abruptly darkened—plunging into utter blackness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s going on!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian stared in shock. He turned back toward the brightly lit room behind him—the locker’s small door was clearly open, yet inside, it was pitch black, as if he had stepped into another world.\u003C\u002Fp>",1298,"2026-06-19T18:20:07.351Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b6fbe6174154e90bb3a486e70fa1cd69d70d87e350f27b56c17952e04a46f8cf","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-511","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-509",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
