Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 254 - 228 Survival Test

Buzz!

In the shadows of the street ahead, numerous twisted conjoined figures began to appear in groups. Their speed wasn’t fast, but as their numbers increased, these things neither human nor ghost started appearing on every street, making one’s scalp feel numb.

Lin Xian couldn’t charge directly through these monsters, so he could only continuously change his direction, trying to move through alleys he hadn’t been to.

"Building, Shu Qin, how are you guys?"

"We didn’t find anything." On the other side of the town, Building was also driving an off-road car, desperately fleeing as the car’s engine roared through the small town, echoing loudly.

Lin Xian turned the car to the left, dodging the twisted conjoined figures walking ahead, and passed through a very narrow alley.

When he rushed out, he was surprised to find himself on a wide street, with an old department store building standing there, and across the street, a middle school whose gate was tightly shut.

"I don’t think I’ve been here before."

"This is where the transport ship outside crashed." Lin Xian immediately said, noting that the center area of Qingshui Town outside was a mess, and the department store building had long since collapsed beyond recognition.

At this moment, Lin Xian looked at the few vaguely familiar staircases, and suddenly realized that this location was actually a wasteland outside.

"Lin Xian, look quickly, is there a light on inside that school?"

At this moment, KIKI suddenly shouted.

Lin Xian glanced over, only to see a few dim yellow lights inside the school building, appearing very eerie and abrupt in the fog-filled town.

"Could there be someone?"

"It might be a guide of some sort, let’s go in and see."

Buzz, the motorcycle dashed through the school gate, and the surroundings suddenly became spacious — square, flowerbed, playground, school building — everything was arranged like the school Lin Xian was familiar with.

An expanse of darkness lay ahead, as if the motorcycle was driving on a black ocean, and he could only move forward by the guidance of the lights inside the school building.

"Huh, those monsters didn’t chase us in."

Turning her head, KIKI saw that those conjoined creatures were all frozen outside the school gate, motionless, as if something was keeping them at bay.

The monsters were increasing in number, blocking the school entrance thoroughly, yet they didn’t step inside.

"There’s definitely something strange here, the entrance to the research facility might be here."

Buzz buzz~

At this moment, Building drove the off-road vehicle straight through the conjoined figures, also entering the school.

Lin Xian looked back, seeing the strangely shaped experimental creatures crowding the school entrance, densely packed. Viewed from afar, a multitude of twisted silhouettes stood there in the night, sending chills down one’s spine.

"It seems like no one’s here."

"Then we might have found the right place!" Lin Xian said.

Screech~

The motorcycle stopped underneath an abandoned school building, with all kinds of books and scrap paper scattered on the ground, the wheels stirring up rustling sounds as they passed.

"KIKI, come with me to take a look first."

"Building, stay in the car and wait!"

"Okay, Brother Xian." Building responded immediately.

Lin Xian stopped the motorcycle, looking at the dimly lit school building, and without delay, grabbed the Black Gun and electric knife, preparing to go up and investigate.

Since it’s a testing ground, there must be a safe exit, maybe even surveillance equipment.

Lin Xian and KIKI, one in front of the other, dashed through the main entrance into the school building.

Upon entering, a scent of dust from the building hit their noses, everything was pitch black, Lin Xian turned on his flashlight to observe the surroundings. The lights earlier were on the second floor, so he looked for the stairs to go up.

"Over here."

Quickly, he found the stairs leading up, wasting no time, he was ready to run up.

But after just a few steps, he sensed something wasn’t quite right.

"KIKI?"

Lin Xian turned around suddenly and discovered KIKI was gone!

"Where did you go?!"

He ran back, bursting through the school building’s main entrance again, and found that outside, everything was pitch dark, the playground, square, corridor, Building’s off-road car — all had vanished!

His heart sank, he quickly turned back, inside the school building entrance was inky black.

"Damn it, here we go again!"

Lin Xian instantly thought of the previous encounter with the Mysterious Radio 1542, where he had also suddenly vanished from his original spot, reappearing in a special frequency space.

He pressed on the communicator, crack crack~

The only thing left in the earpiece was the sound of static, with no response.

Looks like the communication’s been jammed as well.

Crack crack~

At that moment, a mechanical female voice sounded in the earpiece.

[Mr. Lin, please don’t worry, your teammate is receiving medical treatment at our research facility.]

Lin Xian frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

[To confirm your potential and understanding for cooperating with our Foundation, the 3rd testing ground will conduct a test trial for you. There are three stages, and upon successful completion, you will receive a special gift we prepared for you, as the leader of cooperation between the Foundation and the Survivor Alliance. With your superpower, I believe you will be very interested.]

"Miss Hua?" Lin Xian’s first reaction was that it was the short-haired woman who had given him her business card, so he immediately asked, "Was that attack in the afternoon part of your experiment?"

The person didn’t directly respond to his question but said instead,

[Please confirm if you would like to commence the testing process.]

Lin Xian looked at the pitch-dark playground behind, and the silent school building in front, saying in a deep voice, "All my teammates are in your hands, do I have a choice?"
