Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train
Chapter 118 - 113 Ascending

Chapter 118: Chapter 113 Ascending

Whoo!!!

The Gemini 11R Nuclear Power Electric Locomotive has stronger horsepower than the Infinity’s original Huanxing 7F Electric Locomotive, and it quickly accelerated, making a whirring sound as it sped through the empty tunnel.

Lin Xian was fully focused, not daring to let his guard down for a moment, as not far ahead was the track he and KIKI had temporarily repaired. If the recent earthquake had collapsed that section, he could only slam on the emergency brakes.

KIKI tensely gripped the steering console’s handrails, constantly observing the situation inside the tunnel.

Soon, the collapsed hole in the front wall came into view.

"Up ahead!"

KIKI shouted loudly, her demeanor appeared to be ready to use her superpower at any moment.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

And at that hollow place, a hurricane was furiously pouring in, clearly something huge was approaching from outside!

Lin Xian looked ahead to where the suspended broken track was; the track repaired by him and KIKI had not been destroyed by the earthquake. He instantly felt a chill in his heart, and Mechanical Heart picked up speed again.

"Go through it!"

KIKI’s eyes glowed distinctly as her superpower began to envelop the entire train, helping Lin Xian maintain stability.

Whoosh!

Sparks flew as the train quickly passed over the temporary tracks, directly crushing several iron plates, and even the load-bearing steel columns were slightly twisted.

In that instant, as the train passed by the hollow, Lin Xian and KIKI almost simultaneously caught a glimpse outside the hollow.

In the darkness, a row of huge eyes was staring at the train speeding through the tunnel.

It was like glimpsing some terrifying abyssal giant monster in the dark ocean, those eyes like reddish-brown giant wheels!

Merely glimpsing it made Lin Xian and KIKI feel as though the air had solidified in an instant.

"Ah!!"

KIKI screamed, her face turning pale with fright, and exclaimed, "Oh my God, what is that!!!"

"Who knows!"

Lin Xian gritted his teeth, also horrified by the scene just now, a feeling of imminent death suffocating him from deep within!

Mechanical Heart was running at its limit, wishing this nuclear-powered locomotive could just fly!

Above Underground City 9, the light of the moon shone down, and below that deathly quiet square pit, a black giant shadow slowly emerged like the tip of an iceberg.

Its reddish-brown body was covered with scales, and in the shadow, several limbs, as tall as skyscrapers, grew on a fish body, gathering countless flesh and blood into a grotesque giant human skull, appearing like some kind of monster from the depths of the earth.

Moan!!!

A deep and huge roar echoed between heaven and earth, and countless snows on the surface of the Underground City instantly avalanched and fell.

That huge underground creature lifted one of its monstrous limbs and slammed down towards the wall of the Underground City!

The next moment, a segment of the entire tunnel, from top to bottom, suddenly vanished.

Boom!

In the ascending tunnel, a huge vibrational shock wave charged from the back passage upwards, causing the rapidly moving Infinity to shake violently, its wheels wobbling, sparks flying, the entire tunnel rocked by the shock wave, sending debris falling wildly, all the passengers nearly fell to the ground.

"Ah!!!" Zhao Yan and Xu Wen screamed.

Sha Sha crashed to the ground, Chen Sixuan tightly gripped the handrail, and as the smoke and dust rose in the rapidly retreating tunnel, she still didn’t see the lights of the train driven by Lin Xian.

"Lin Xian, Lin Xian!" She pressed the intercom.

Click, click, click

The communication broke off momentarily, then quickly restored.

"Teacher Chen, how much reserve energy is left!?"

Over the intercom, Lin Xian’s voice came through, Chen Sixuan’s brows lifted, she glanced at the driving screen, and immediately replied to Lin Xian: "15%, but it’s draining too fast on the climb, it’s already at full operation!"

"Wait for me to come up!"

Boom!

At this moment, a few kilometers behind the Infinity, a black and purple train burst out from the sand and lime soil, with the view ahead almost completely obstructed by the dust caused by the earthquake.

"Where are you guys, did that earthquake disturb the creature underground?"

Ding Junyi’s voice showed no sign of fear, as if this woman naturally lacked emotional nuances, calmly responding to Lin Xian on the other end of the communicator during such a perilous moment.

"I don’t know, we should be close to you now, that big guy has spotted us and it might be trying to climb up!"

Having said that, she lowered her head, brought up the subsystem, and began to operate swiftly.

Lin Xian was sweating profusely, the life-and-death moment just now had him on edge. Although separated by the tunnel wall, both he and KIKI could feel the presence of something massive outside.

It was like a demon from the abyss, the reinforced concrete of the Underground City in front of it was like an ant hill, easily peeling off the outer wall.

Boom!

Before the dust could settle, a scorching wave of flames suddenly attacked from one side of the train, instantly lighting up the passage with firelight.

"It’s that thing!"

KIKI’s eyes flickered slightly, and in an instant, she stabilized the train’s position with her superpower, looking up only to see a red monstrous phantom in the front side of the tunnel; it was the Human Skull Lin Xian and KIKI had encountered on the 89th floor, now creeping down the tunnel toward the train and spewing fire.

"Hit it!" KIKI shouted.

"Don’t let it spit fire again!"

This Gemini 11R Nuclear Power Electric Locomotive wasn’t covered with armor, and although the train’s shell material was extremely tough, Lin Xian was worried that the Human Skull’s flames would burn the critical parts. If the train were to break down now, they would be doomed.

"You!! Good!!"

The crimson Human Skull uttered a strange human noise, its bony spikes bristling, and its charred fleshed arms lunging fiercely at the train.

Flames burst out of its mouth again.

"Screw you!" KIKI, furious, clenched her teeth and waved her hand, directing unlimited telekinetic force to press the Human Skull against the outer tunnel wall, stopping the fire wave, the flames crazily venting around its face.

Boom!!!!

The fire burned so intensely that even the walls became red hot!

Roar!!!!!!!

Another deep, dull roar echoed between heaven and earth, Lin Xian sensed danger, steering the train to speed past the Human Skull: "Throw it backwards!"

Lin Xian shouted.

KIKI quickly responded, sweeping her hand backward.

Boom!

The entire section of the tunnel behind vanished in an instant, the crimson Human Skull, suppressed against the tunnel wall by KIKI’s telekinesis, was torn apart by the Abyssal Giant Monster.

"Yikes!"

KIKI exclaimed sharply, thinking she was injured, Lin Xian was surprised to see her anxiously mobilizing her superpower, dragging something towards the front of the train.

Lin Xian glanced to the side and saw the giant red skull, now broken from the neck, being pulled back by KIKI.

"Let you breathe fire, I’ll let you breathe fire!"

"What are you doing?!"

"How could I let this thing off cheap." KIKI gritted her teeth, completely disregarding the perilous escape under the claws of the Abyssal Giant Monster, her little hand pinching in the void, continuously straining until the red skull was crushed under immense pressure.

Bang! Black mist surged, a medium-sized red Blood Essence floated outside the cabin’s glass window.

KIKI ran over to open the small window and grabbed the Mysterious Blood Essence inside.

Lin Xian watched, dumbfounded: "Did you do this on purpose?"

KIKI shook her head: "No, its head just happened to be in my hands, I thought why not..."

Lin Xian: ...
