CHAPTER 631: CHAPTER 311: WASTELAND WORLD

Beep, beep.

In the chaos, Lin Xian felt as if the alert tone from his watch was slowly growing from distant to deafening in the darkness.

He realized he was awake, or rather, back to reality.

On the large bed in the living cabin of Car No. 1, Lin Xian felt his eyelids heavy. Before he opened his eyes, a hot wave accompanied by loud howls flooded into his mind.

His brain immediately responded.

Muffled, scorching, dry, oppressive.

Lin Xian opened his dry lips, and next to the pillow was the blackout shade of the Infinity. The hot wave and howling sounds were coming from outside.

Lin Xian focused his mind and first raised his hand to look at his watch.

"11 o’clock. I actually...slept for 9 hours..."

Rubbing his heavy head, Lin Xian recalled the experience of being invaded by darkness before falling asleep. He frowned slightly; the feeling was unforgettable and not something he wished to endure a second time.

He raised his hand and opened the blackout shade.

Ugh ah!!! Ugh ugh!! Ah ah!!

The next moment, the blazing sunlight made Lin Xian involuntarily squint his eyes, and along with it was the sight of countless withered, rotten zombie faces outside the multi-layered bulletproof window of the train.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian immediately frowned and sat up. Outside the Infinity Train was an ocean of zombies!

Hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions! Endless, like tides like seas!

Those zombie tides were like a sky full of magnetic powder, densely adhering towards the direction of the Joint Train.

Under the tracks of the train, crushing and tearing sounds were endless. Due to being bloodthirsty and lacking water for an extended period, these zombies were almost entirely dry and dark blue corpses, with most of their original human clothing reduced to tattered rags.

Above the skyline, the scorching sun ruled the day, with not a cloud in sight, and yellow sand covered the sky.

Lin Xian woke up to find the entire Infinity Train seemed to have rushed into a wasteland world!

Seeing the situation outside, Lin Xian was a bit stunned, quickly pressing the communicator to inquire about Chen Sixuan.

Bang.

After a while, the door opened, and Chen Sixuan, having taken off her Black Hawk Battle Armor, stood in her cool shorts and top, immediately speaking upon seeing Lin Xian awake.

"You’re awake?"

"What’s going on?" Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan and then at the zombies outside.

"Don’t worry." Chen Sixuan quickly said to Lin Xian, looking at the zombies outside, "Since we left the Extreme Night, the zombies on the Gobi Desert have been increasing, and after dawn, it’s been a sea of zombies."

"This many?" Lin Xian said, looking at the densely packed zombies outside the train, "Is it troublesome?"

Chen Sixuan shook her head and responded, "Don’t worry, the convoy is progressing normally. These zombies haven’t caused us much trouble."

Hearing this, Lin Xian understood. He felt the train’s speed and understood why Chen Sixuan was so calm. These tides of zombies posed virtually no threat to the armored train. The 15-kilometer-long steel dragon moved with weight and momentum like a mountain, and combined with the 22-train convoy, it had a cruising power of over a thousand gigawatts. Given the current protective strength of the Infinity, these ordinary zombies were indeed no concern.

"Poor zombies, can’t even stay in the Extreme Night."

Lin Xian thought of Chu Yan in Yu Bei City in his dream, where there were very few zombies. Even if there were, they remained still, while the entire city was almost entirely occupied by Dark Creatures.

Chen Sixuan added, "So we all speculate this situation might be caused by the corpse chasers driving zombies out of the Extreme Night Zone."

Corpse chasers, corpse chasers...

Hearing this, Lin Xian frowned, thinking, could this be what is meant by corpse chasers?

This had never been formally mentioned on the Phoenix Society’s radio. It seemed the Phoenix Society did not have a clear explanation for this phenomenon yet.

After a sigh of relief, Lin Xian recalled his encounter from last night and immediately asked Chen Sixuan, "By the way, how are KIKI and Brother Huo?"

"Them?"

Chen Sixuan said, "They’re fine too, they slept longer as well. Probably because you all were exhausted from bombing the Heavenly Mushroom Tower."

Lin Xian immediately got up and walked with Chen Sixuan towards the rear carriage. As they arrived at Car No. 2, they saw KIKI already sitting in front of the information center, maneuvering a drone to observe the path on the Gobi Desert.

"Hey, you’re finally awake?"

Upon seeing Lin Xian, KIKI smiled and said, "How is it, were you scared seeing so many zombies?"

Lin Xian directly asked, "Did you feel the effects of the dark invasion while sleeping last night?"

KIKI frowned, first shook her head, and then nodded, "I had a nightmare, but it wasn’t much of an impact."

"What’s up?"

Hearing Lin Xian’s question, Chen Sixuan keenly detected something in his words and couldn’t help but ask him.

Lin Xian paused, his eyes shifting, and merely explained slowly, "Last night’s explosion at the Heavenly Mushroom Tower, we probably got infected by a lot of dark invasions, but judging from the current situation, there should be no big issue."

What surprised him was KIKI’s reaction; he thought KIKI would be just like him, but unexpectedly, KIKI wasn’t as seriously affected.

Lin Xian pondered silently, thinking it must be because KIKI and Brother Huo’s superpower indexes inherently had high spiritual power, whereas his Mechanical Heart...

At this time, Chen Sixuan said to Lin Xian, "By the way, good news, Liang Lei woke up, and Brother Shi’s injuries have also greatly improved. The Phoenix Society was right, dawn is indeed significant to us."

Lin Xian was pleased upon hearing this; it was good news indeed.

"According to the Phoenix Society’s theory, we’ve accumulated too much dark invasion power, and we need daylight or vegetable juice to neutralize it. Staying in the night all the time would surely mean doom," KIKI said.
