Looking at that exquisite mechanical face, Lin Xian felt a chill in his heart. He clearly remembered that Grace had indeed issued him a warning in a human-like tone.
"Lin Xian, what’s going on?"
KIKI noticed Lin Xian’s sudden urgent move and now seeing him with this robot, her expression also seemed tense.
Lin Xian turned back to KIKI and asked, "What’s the quickest time for rewriting the analysis?"
"It might still take about a day, and rewriting also takes time," KIKI replied. Googlᴇ search novel·fire.net
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Lin Xian immediately created an alloy cabinet to contain Grace, then said to Lu Xingchen, "Brother Huo, you’ve been in contact with that golden bracelet for two days. Has anything felt off?"
Lu Xingchen immediately understood Lin Xian’s concerns. He looked at the Infinite Ring on his wrist and responded seriously, "Now that you mention it, Brother Lin, I’ve indeed felt a bit agitated in spirit over the past two days..."
"The dark influence on it is quite intense. Be more careful. I’d suggest not wearing it on your hand unless necessary," Lin Xian said.
Lu Xingchen nodded, indicating his understanding.
At this moment, Lin Xian said to KIKI, "We’ll proceed at full speed next. KIKI, you and Luo Yang keep an eye on the radar signals."
"Okay, I got it." Sensing the severity from Lin Xian’s tone, KIKI also responded earnestly.
Now amidst the sandstorm and under the cover of night, the entire train was essentially speeding blindly, without enough time to react to any issue.
Like ink spilled across the dark sky, the Joint Train roared down the tracks, with the headlights of the leading car, Dragon Mountain No.1, piercing the darkness only to be swallowed instantly by rolling sand walls. The metallic armor emitted a boiling buzz under the assault of the sandstorm, as if an invisible beast’s fangs were repeatedly tearing at the carriages.
The following train fleets were filled with cacophony inside. In the mobile home, Hu Lushou clenched the communicator tightly in anxiety.
"Are we keeping up? Their train is fast; we must not fall behind!"
"We’re keeping up for now," Sun Chang’s response was simple and direct. These survivors’ vehicles were not ordinary transport; they could reach high speeds on the flat Gobi Desert. The only concern was stability—at the current speed of the Joint Train, even a slight deviation in the car fleets would completely lose them in the sandstorm.
Thus, at this moment, no driver dared to be careless. Each vehicle maintained a safe distance, with clear communication through the communicators, constantly monitoring the lead car’s situation.
Shortly after, the entire Joint Train convoy had rushed out of the Snake Mouth area, heading into the vast, boundless Akse Desert. Sandstorm raged with iron wheels roaring as all 22 train groups’ locomotives entered cruising speed. Lin Xian hadn’t pushed the train to 200 km/h yet, as the sandstorm was too fierce; going faster could lead to problems easily.
They could only pray that no trouble would arise in this sandstorm, and hope it would end soon so they could accelerate further.
At this point, Lin Xian conveyed the anomaly in the Akse Desert and Star Abyss No.5 to each fleet captain. He couldn’t mention the conscious link he shared with Chu Yan, instead using the experiences of Hu Lushou, Lao Mo, and rumors about taboo items in the desert to draw his own conclusions. Since Lin Xian had contact with an Intelligent Brain robot from the Deep Red World using his Mechanical Superpower, everyone quickly understood why he made such a decision upon learning that the anomaly in Star Abyss No.5 might be related to the taboo items within the Deep Red World.
"Captain Lin, does this mean that because of those damn misdeeds from the Deep Red World, we’re likely to be sucked into the Extreme Night in the desert again?" Hu Lushou’s legs turned weak after hearing Lin Xian’s words, not wanting to relive that nightmare.
"There’s no such thing as baseless rumors in this world. We’ve all encountered an S-Class Scout before, so nothing bizarre would surprise me," Qian Deli replied optimistically, "Anyway, I’m starting to like trains more and more. You don’t have to worry about anything—just power the engine full throttle and solve any problem that comes. Worst case, we die~"
On Dragon Mountain No.1, Shi Deyuan and Ning Jing, along with cadre members, urgently analyzed Lin Xian’s statements. Shi Deyuan also pressed the communicator and said, "No matter what, it’s better to leave sooner than later—let’s get to Quan City quickly and make further plans from there!"
At the Infinity information center, core members gathered as Lin Xian said, "We won’t be making any stops. All fleet window panels must remain closed—don’t look outside. Our only goal is to run, so the entire Joint Fleet has to rely on Dragon Mountain No.1 to monitor the track path and driving platform. I suggest assigning multiple people to the task, especially those with higher Spirit Vibration Value."
"Don’t worry!" Shi Deyuan declared confidently, "Ning Jing and I will personally keep watch, along with Boss Hu, Captain Lu, Captain Xie—all of you stay closely behind!"
The night hadn’t yet lifted, and the tense atmosphere continued to build on the Infinity. Lin Xian reminded everyone, "Stay vigilant before we reach Quan City. Everyone, monitor your respective stations carefully."
Everyone nodded, with Li Yi and Liang Lei leading the way by saying, "Rest assured, Captain Lin—the living carriage will be well managed."
"Same here," Luo Yang and Shu Qin responded from their end.
