Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 215 - 210 Energy Transformation

The night was peaceful; the entire Infinity train had turned off its lights. For safety reasons, a few people in the compartment took turns keeping watch.

In compartment 3, Ding Junyi lay on the bed, feeling tranquil and peaceful. She had the habit of not wearing clothes while sleeping, which gave her a feeling of complete liberation.

Outside the lounge, Hell Black Chrysanthemum quietly emitted an extremely invisible glow in a sealed cultivation cabin. After absorbing the Black Qi of the large Parasite, that black smoke began to circulate on the flower’s stamen, transforming into a cold substance that spread throughout the compartments.

Like an invisible fog, some were inhaled by Ding Junyi, while others spread to the compartments in front and behind; KIKI, Sha Sha, the building, Lu Xingchen, including Shu Qin, Lv Chang, Miao Lu in the rear compartment, and other team members were inadvertently enveloped by this glow.

Those glow wanted to spread out of the compartment, but the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube in compartment 1 captured it back.

Ding Junyi opened her eyes, feeling an inexplicable sense of comfort. She looked around but found nothing, so she turned over, put on her white coat, and opened the lounge door. After confirming that no one was outside, she walked out.

She was wearing vacuum inside and didn’t want to be seen, but at this moment she did sense something unusual. Upon stepping out, her sight happened to catch the faint glow on Hell Black Chrysanthemum.

"What’s going on?"

This was the first time Ding Junyi discovered such a situation, and she immediately lost her sleepiness, turned on the lights in compartment 3, and began working.

Inside compartment 1, Lin Xian had just fallen asleep, when a message from the Mechanical Heart’s light screen automatically popped up.

[Non-mechanical energy has been transformed, and 1000 Mechanical Source Points have been acquired.]

Lin Xian immediately sat up straight from the bed.

"What?"

Thinking he had misread it, he opened the Mechanical Heart panel and found that the Mechanical Source Points had indeed increased by 1000!

[Current Mechanical Heart Level LV.3 (2720/5000)]

"Damn!"

Lin Xian shivered instantly, looked around, instinctively thinking he had dreamt of devouring the Infinity.

But the surroundings were extremely quiet, the Mechanical Heart was operating, Infinity was in good condition, and Teacher Chen was peacefully sleeping beside him; nothing had happened.

He sensed something was not right, quickly got dressed, seeing the ’non-mechanical energy’ in the light screen, he immediately thought of the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube.

Lin Xian walked out of the room, took out his fixed Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube in compartment 1, and directly started the Mechanical Heart scan.

[Beep! Using non-mechanical power for reflection detection.]

[Detection successful, no fear risk within the train, dark force invasion has been blocked.]

[Transforming non-mechanical energy inside the train, acquired 2 Mechanical Source Points...]

"Indeed, what is this situation?"

Lin Xian was a bit confused at the moment; the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube was the product forcibly transformed from a Mysterious Radio by his Mechanical Heart, but he hadn’t expected that this thing could transform into Mechanical Source Points when he hadn’t devoured any machines.

What exactly is this non-mechanical energy then?

Just as Lin Xian felt his mind was filled with questions, he suddenly realized that an extremely subtle glow was flowing throughout the compartment, converging into the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube.

Lin Xian immediately focused his gaze on that subtle glow, then followed its flowing direction towards the back compartments.

Passing compartment 2, KIKI and Sha Sha were still sound asleep.

Swoosh~

Lin Xian opened the gate of compartment 3; upon opening, he found the lights inside were still on. Ding Junyi was seriously researching something. Lin Xian looked around and discovered that the faint glow could not be seen in the bright light.

"Director Ding? Still not asleep at this late hour?"

Ding Junyi raised her head and looked at Lin Xian: "Just discovered something strange about Hell Black Chrysanthemum; I must research it."

"Strange phenomena?"

Lin Xian moved the Mechanical Heart and clicked, turning off the lights in compartment 3.

At this moment, the glow appeared again, and it was even brighter. Lin Xian looked and found the source came from Hell Black Chrysanthemum.

Ding Junyi saw Lin Xian turn off the lights and immediately said: "You saw it too?"

Just as Lin Xian wanted to speak, Ding Junyi’s words stopped him; he initially thought of saying ’Did you see it too?’, but Ding Junyi’s reaction surprised him. It showed that this faint glow was different from his Mechanical Heart panel light screen; everyone could see it.

"What is this situation? Could it be another kind of mark?" Lin Xian asked.

Ding Junyi adjusted her glasses: "Currently unclear. From the detection above, there is a force of positive spiritual value. Normally, this phenomenon only occurs on a Superpower User, initially judged as Dark Energy, but it is unclear why there is energy dispersal."

Lin Xian’s expression tightened upon hearing this; he had just acquired 1000 Mechanical Source Points, could it be because of this thing?

But isn’t his Mechanical Heart supposed to devour machines to gain points, and the dark energy should have absorbed the Abnormal Body and the Demon Mimicking Giant Louse’s Black Qi? How was it transformed into non-mechanical energy, then into Mechanical Source Points by the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube?

Lin Xian’s gaze kept flickering, feeling somewhat stuck at the moment.

Ding Junyi looked at Lin Xian’s expression: "Did you discover something?"

Lin Xian shook his head: "Not sure. If it’s not a mark, then this thing might be releasing dark energy on the train; just don’t know if it’s good or bad for us."

The faint glow spread across all compartments; Lin Xian obtained Mechanical Source Points, so he wasn’t worried, but he was concerned that such a mysterious change might affect others, as too much dark energy could easily cause ordinary persons to fall, which was quite troublesome.

"To know this point, we can only observe the experimental subjects."

Ding Junyi stood up and looked at Lin Xian: "I’ve conducted bodily function monitoring on all personnel; maybe in a few days, we’ll know the changes."

"A few days?" Lin Xian asked.

"Yes," Ding Junyi replied: "Unless some malignant fallen phenomenon happens immediately, otherwise it’s hard to compare bodily impacts in a short time; a few days are already short."

Lin Xian nodded, looking at the Hell Black Chrysanthemum with a somewhat complex expression: "Hopefully, it’s good news."

Being able to acquire Mechanical Source Points out of thin air certainly made him happy; his initial guess was that the thing absorbed the Abnormal Body’s Black Qi and then transformed it into evolutionary material energy that dispersed, thus he inexplicably obtained Mechanical Source Points, and it was very likely that everyone on the train would get such benefits.

If this were true, then this Hell Black Chrysanthemum would be a divine gift, functioning both as a [Dark Mark] pre-warning system and absorbing the Abnormal Body’s Black Qi to transform into Mechanical Source Points, then wouldn’t he have another upgrade path!?

1000 points, nearly the yield of devouring 4-5 locomotives. Although there was no devouring proficiency and materials, it could speed up the upgrade of his Mechanical Heart!

It’s known that skills gained upon upgrading the Mechanical Heart are very beneficial; early level-up is definitely a good thing!

Hmm?

As Lin Xian pondered this, he suddenly focused his gaze on Ding Junyi: "Director Ding, are you?"

"Not wearing anything."

Ding Junyi seriously lowered her head, looking at the research data, completely indifferent to the cool feeling beneath her white coat.
