Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1077 - 410: Evil Demons (Part 2)

"Lin Xian, Infinity?!"

"Yes, do you know me?"

"Are you really Lin Xian?" The girl named Vanessa stepped forward, slowly removed her hood, and examined Lin Xian carefully.

"It’s me, any problems?!" Lin Xian replied.

Vanessa and Gedi exchanged glances and then revealed an incredulous smile.

"My God, we’ve actually encountered a Sword Holder."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately understood that under the Phoenix Society’s global broadcast, his identity was no secret anymore. He had been used to it, but now, as he stepped onto the ocean segment, he started to think he might need to be more low-key because the Descent Faction of Deep Red World had not yet been fully cleared, and who knows who might be targeting him.

"Let’s talk about the situation first." Lin Xian lowered his voice, "Why are there so many Abnormal Bodies here after nightfall, and what’s going on with you guys?"

"A lot? It’s quite normal." The woman named Gedi calmly explained, "These Abnormal Bodies have ’walked’ from the ocean floor. Even when it isn’t dark, they can move underwater. After nightfall, they gather on the island’s land, so the numbers are vast. It’s both a march and a hunt."

"No wonder..." Lin Xian said in a deep voice, recalling the indescribable Abnormal Bodies underwater at Taku Deep Water Port. Apparently, the sea surface beneath was already crawling with all kinds of Abnormal Bodies, hidden like snow under a blizzard. Once night falls, Sea Rock Island is encircled by a tide of Abnormal Bodies.

"Have the monsters found some target?"

Monica’s keen senses detected that the sound outside seemed to be converging in one direction, prompting her to speak quietly.

"Is it the effect of the Luring Agent you mentioned earlier?"

"Yes." Vanessa replied, "After nightfall on the sea, the Abnormal Bodies are so dense that even without a Dark Mark, it’s extremely easy to be detected. So we all use a kind of Luring Agent, synthesized from Cold Dark Reagent and bioactive enzymes. To a certain extent, it produces fluctuations slightly higher in marking than those without a Dark Mark, and even a little can lead to attacks over a vast range."

"You’re saying, Dark Mark bait?" Chen Sixuan recalled the eerie container she had encountered at Hengshan Pass Station.

"Pretty much, now ocean survivors basically rely on this method to escape." Gedi replied, "The sea is too vast, and we have no other means to run away."

"These monsters have such high Spirit Vibration Values."

Inside Car No. 2, Sha Sha was staring at the information center’s monitor screen, her small face full of surprise, "Scary."

KIKI looked at Lin Xian, "Good thing you retrieved all the drones, I feel even the slightest disturbance could be detected."

Lin Xian checked the time and asked the two,

"Which organization are you from, and why are you here?"

"Hawk Sea Group." Vanessa answered.

Gedi added, "We’re still Riding."

"Riding on the sea?" Qian Deli frowned slightly, "Are you survivors using ships as shelters?"

"Yes."

Vanessa explained, "We’ve all received information from Dawn City, initially thinking that some train group might resume the ocean segment, but unexpectedly the first train group we encountered is your Infinity. Just a heads-up, several deep-sea bases like Pacific G3-G9 have become shelters for some alliances, many are former train groups, it’s not easy to pass through."

"Robbery?" Lin Xian asked. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Almost, Star Orbital is too restrictive, conditions on the sea are more varied than on land, your train group isn’t safe as it is on land."

Lin Xian understood, now with fewer trains running on the orbital segment, resources should be concentrated at each base node and those shelter islands and survivor ships, drawing attention when the train comes through.

This could pose some trouble, but Lin Xian was more concerned about the peculiar situation they were currently facing.

"Ocean, those Abnormal Bodies...why do they appear in broad daylight?" Lin Xian asked.

"Strange?" Vanessa surveyed the group, "Your convoy of Superpower Users is quite formidable, haven’t you seen day-walking Evil Demons?"

"No."

"We’ve indeed never seen day-walking Abnormal Bodies, of course, Uncanny Human, Zombie, or Red Man Gu don’t count, what you faced earlier should’ve been some kind of Abnormal Body right?" Ning Jing interjected.

Vanessa and Gedi exchanged glances, then said, "We call them Evil Demons, able to appear during the day, with various forms, the most common being Split-tailed People and Red Bone, but they didn’t start out that way. In our observations, these organisms are constantly evolving. Initially, they would appear during storms or cloudy days, or inside buildings and sewers for a short time. But in recent months, these Evil Demons have adapted more and more, not only able to thrive in daylight but also continue evolving, their threat value increasing day by day, and ordinary weapons are increasingly ineffective."

"However, they all share one characteristic, their lifespan is very short, typically only two or three days." Gedi crossed her arms and calmly said, "Seems like a vanguard of the Dark Tide."

At this point, Ning Jing told Lin Xian, "Captain Lin, when we struck, we discovered these monsters have evolved to withstand Basic Energy Weapons with their Biological Force Field, unlike ordinary C-level and D-level Abnormal Bodies."

"What, with a Biological Force Field?"

KIKI was somewhat surprised, floated off from the swivel chair, arms crossed, "Aren’t they even harder to deal with?"

Upon hearing this, everyone showed a somber expression, if ordinary Abnormal Bodies could now have Defense Force Fields, it would be bad news for survivors.

"Can’t believe the evolution speed of Abnormal Bodies is so fast?" Chen Sixuan furrowed her brows.

"Human evolution isn’t slow either." Lin Xian responded, then glanced at Vanessa and Gedi, asking, "Can you tell us who attacked you and some details about Sea Rock Island?"

"Of course."

Vanessa replied, "Even if we don’t tell you, soon you’ll become their target."

"What do you mean?"

Vanessa looked incredulously at Lin Xian and the others, straightforwardly saying, "Come on, you’re Lin Xian, a Sword Holder, plus your team comprises such powerful strong ones, being targeted is very normal."

Lin Xian looked puzzled, but the woman named Gedi looked at him seriously,

"The person I’m talking about is Villand, leader of the Holy City Organization, Descent Faction, gains power by hunting Abnormal Bodies and other Superpower Users’ Crystal Grids, they’re related to the Deep Red World, Holy Revelation."

"Wait."

Qian Deli stepped forward, frowned, and said, "Isn’t your sea Riding information somewhat different from ours, land survivors’? You mentioned Crystal Grid, does this Holy City Organization person not know that hunting Superpower Users contributes little to one’s Superpower evolution?"

This statement caused everyone to look at Vanessa and Gedi.

Vanessa’s gaze revealed a trace of doubt, then she surveyed the group and ultimately focused on Xiao Qing, because she had seen Xiao Qing in action before.

So she softly uttered two words.

"Offense."

Before the words were finished, the girl’s figure suddenly flickered, flashing like lightning in front of Xiao Qing, swiftly slashing with a knife from nowhere!

Ding!

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Qing swiftly responded, holding the Gun Blade horizontally in front of her face, precisely blocking Vanessa’s strike.

Unexpectedly, Vanessa, upon seeing this, slightly curled her lips and said, "My apologies."

Hearing these words, Xiao Qing immediately detected the change in aura from the other party, the knife blocked suddenly emitted a formless shockwave like the solidification of a Biological Force Field, flashing with silver microwaves, booming as she was thrust several meters back before stabilizing her stance.

Whoosh!

Instantly, everyone’s weapons were aimed at Vanessa and Gedi, but Vanessa raised her hands, an innocent expression,

"Sorry, I just wanted to see if you possess a Crystal Grid."

Finished, she looked at the visibly shaken Xiao Qing who had been pushed back, and continued,

"You probably don’t have a Superpower, but just the Peak Evolution Value reaching Destruction Level seems you’re about to break into Angel Level."

Xiao Qing sheathed her Gun Blade, coolly replied, "7200."

"Cool~" Vanessa responded.

Lin Xian looked at Gedi and Vanessa, curious about the secret they were holding, while Gedi stepped forward addressing Lin Xian and Xiao Qing,

"Captain Lin, this friend, Vanessa’s Peak Superpower value..."

"Is 14,000!"
