The second sound he heard was his own breathing, the sound of his nostrils panting urgently inside the visor of the Power Armor, like an astronaut drifting towards the abyss of infinite space, filled with despair and loneliness, yet he couldn’t see his own body nor any information about the Power Armor.
For the first time, Lin Xian’s mind experienced such an eerie scene of detachment. At this moment, he recalled Chu Yan’s words to him: if you see it, don’t look; if you try to understand it, it must be against common sense, don’t describe it, don’t depict it...
He shivered and quickly closed his eyes, trying to feel his senses, preventing himself from falling into that bewildering descent into the abyss of space.
At this moment, he finally felt a surge of strength in his limbs and body, while simultaneously various chaotic sounds seemed to come gradually from the depths of darkness.
Beep beep, beep beep~
[Hypothermia warning, hypothermia warning...]
In an instant, the sound of the watch alert, the alarm of the Power Armor, and the roar of the Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive pulled Lin Xian back to reality.
Rumble rumble rumble!
The next moment, his brain suddenly experienced an intense feeling of weightlessness, accompanied by a fall!
With a loud bang, Lin Xian felt the train had completely derailed, seemingly falling into something, but no, the vast Gobi Desert was a smooth path, how could there be a feeling of weightlessness?
But reality would not allow him to doubt, as all senses returned, Lin Xian realized that the entire cockpit of Infinity had tilted, with screeching twisted metal connections from the front and Dragon Mountain No.1, echoing like a plane crash inside the carriage.
As the headlights of the Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive flickered intermittently, Lin Xian saw the front carriage of Dragon Mountain No.1 lifted high, and his headphones started to blare deafening screams and shouts.
"The carriage is split open!"
Slam, at that moment, someone suddenly grabbed Lin Xian from behind. He turned to look and found it was Chen Sixuan clutching the railing; she shouted, "Lin Xian!"
Lin Xian grabbed her with his other hand, immediately operated the Mechanical Heart to start the train engine. Instantly, the roaring sound of the motor erupted, yet Lin Xian then realized that all the drive wheels were spinning idly, the train was not on the tracks at all!

Metallic crashing sounds continuously came from the rear carriage. Lin Xian immediately pressed his hand against the porthole, swiftly manufactured a small drone to take off outside the train, finally, as the drone’s perspective rose, Lin Xian saw an incredibly frightening scene.
The entire Joint Train had completely derailed, with Dragon Mountain No.1 at the front, including Infinity and the rear Queen Mo, and the Joker convoy; all these train carriages were now spread out unevenly on a stretch of black earth, some carriages had already distorting mutations, the lights inside flickered and connected erratically, every train like Infinity experienced electrical surge fluctuations.
And eerily surrounded the Joint Train were dense forests, even many trees were crushed by the train, torn branches protruding next to the windows, looking somewhat menacing under the thick dark night!
Lin Xian took a cold breath, instantly maneuvering the drone to rise vertically, yet as the perspective height increased, the drone’s camera became dim and cloudy, he only saw the train behind laid out disoriented in a dark forest, lights flickering intermittently, stretching for several kilometers until the darkness’s end.
Watching the footage in the drone, Lin Xian’s expression became solemn, immediately stating:
"This...isn’t the Western Desert!"
In the forest beneath the black curtain, seemingly apart from the train, there were eerie noises echoing from the depths of those woods, shrill snarls reverberating in the darkness, terror loomed near, strange phenomena descended!
