Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1118 - 428: Abandoned Base

Underwater secret harbor of the nuclear submarine, Lin Xian had never expected that beneath the Sea Rock Prison, there existed such a significant military base.

"No wonder, if there’s such a large military base, it makes sense for the Holy City people to hide here and use it as a stronghold." KIKI said with a look of realization.

"Since the Holy City Organization had prepared in advance to ambush us, how did this place fall anyway?" Ning Jing frowned and asked, "Or is it that this stronghold has already been obliterated?"

"Very likely." Lin Xian replied in a deep voice, "However, I just checked the situation of those zombies inside the prison, and they don’t seem to be from the Holy City Organization, which means they haven’t been entrenched here for long, but appeared only recently."

KIKI nodded: "Something must have happened here, causing this sanctuary to fall, and the underground passages have been invaded by Abnormal Bodies."

Brother Huo crossed his arms: "Doesn’t that mean we came here in vain?"

Lin Xian’s gaze sharpened: "At least we have a rough idea of how they came and are planning to leave."

"Are you talking about the submarine?" KIKI asked.

Lin Xian looked at the drone he sent to monitor the sinkhole in the warehouse, ensuring that the black worm monster hadn’t crawled out, and then said: "However, the middle-aged man using the Taboo Item hasn’t been found yet. Moreover, the submarines travel in deep water, which should theoretically be more dangerous than the surface, yet this point seems inexplicable..."

KIKI’s face showed concern: "I wonder how Sister Chen is doing over there, whether the Dark Mark has been eliminated, otherwise these Abnormal Bodies lured here by the Holy City might end up swallowing our Infinity whole."

Hearing this, Lin Xian’s expression turned somber. His communication drones couldn’t reach Chen Sixuan’s situation across regions, which left him somewhat unsettled. Originally, his plan was to strike directly at the Holy City’s lair to prevent them from making another move on Infinity after nightfall. In this scenario of a monstrous siege, a simple Luring Agent could easily put them in a desperate situation, so Lin Xian decided to have Chen Sixuan lead a team to reposition and eliminate the mark, while he pursued, as the man who escaped using a Taboo Item left Lin Xian uneasy.

Who knew that before entering the underground lair, they were blocked by an Abnormal Invisible being, whose dark aura exploded in concentration within the passageway. Although the monster was huge, it wasn’t on the scale of Special Level or even A-level entities, yet in terms of threat, Lin Xian felt it might approach an S-Class level of Dark Invasive Concentration, otherwise Ah Bai wouldn’t have been so strongly affected.

"That thing is blocking the passage, we certainly can’t get through, but..." Ning Jing said at this moment, "Could it be that the people down there are already gone?"

"It would be better if they were gone." KIKI replied: "We’re just worried about them attacking us again after nightfall. As long as we get through tonight, we’ll leave this godforsaken place. We’re not interested in this base either."

Lin Xian fell into deep thought, and another fragment of Gu Zheng’s consciousness flashed before his eyes, causing a sharp pain in his head. At this moment, he heard that bass drum-like sound, suddenly opened his eyes, and said in a deep voice

"I was wondering what that sound was, turns out... it’s inside the submarine!"

"Captain Lin?" Ning Jing looked towards Lin Xian.

"Besides the surface team, the Holy City has a submarine force too." Lin Xian furrowed his brow, his expression fierce: "Strange, the Hawk Sea Group doesn’t dare to travel casually in dangerous sea regions, yet they can, and even dare to dive in deep water..."

KIKI looked at Lin Xian and spoke up: "Are you suspecting that they have a way to avoid Abnormal Bodies?"

Lin Xian shook his head, looked at KIKI, and said seriously: "If the Holy City Organization really has contact with the Dark Civilization, with the Descent Faction being the Dark Civilization’s opposition organization among humans, and if they possess such a means, it would make sense as well."

"Makes sense, if they’re traitors, the Dark Civilization might even grant them some kind of passage permit..." KIKI said.

"Passage permit?"

"I’m just describing it loosely, something like that. If the Dark Civilization considers them allies, it’s possible they might not be attacked by Abnormal Bodies." KIKI said.

Ning Jing frowned: "But in the afternoon, this group clearly suffered an attack too."

"It’s pointless to discuss this," Lin Xian interrupted the two and said directly: "Now that we’re here, we must investigate this submarine base. Taking initiative is better than passively waiting for the minions of the Descent Faction to strike us. Besides, in such a military base, we might find some useful things."

"Like nuclear submarines?" Xiao Qing quietly responded at this moment.

Lin Xian spoke: "Or, some kind of Taboo Item, Disaster Plant."

"But... how do we get in?" Ning Jing asked.

"There are several ways to get in." KIKI quickly operated on the mobile terminal and soon figured out the general layout of the base.

"This submarine port has no external harbor, indicating it’s an extremely high-secrecy internal harbor, which means this port is built within the mountain body on the Island. Look, the mountain terrain of this Island is very unique, with a large underground cavity and a deep-water cliff, making it a perfect and secretive internal harbor base. It’s no wonder it was built here; if submarines were resupplied and overhauled here, satellites wouldn’t be able to locate them at all..."

KIKI pointed to a valley on the offline map: "There’s a secret passage here, like a mine shaft, but it’s sealed. It’s actually the real entrance, while the sea flood passage beneath the prison is a backup entrance. The entrance is under Prison Building No. 1, and the hole under this warehouse was likely accidentally bombed open. Besides these two routes, the only way in is through the submarine’s deep-water floating port channel."
