Chapter 297 Underground Tunnel (Xie Mengzhu Book Friend 2018041708584115)

Lin Xian's first reaction was that this voice message was from the woman named Chu Yan.

After all, Grace also has a holographic face of Chu Yan.

But the question is, if there was no time misalignment in the dream, Chu Yan should have been in Yubei City, which was covered by polar night after the nuclear explosion. How could she appear underground in Yijin, thousands of miles away, at the same time, leaving such a warning message to the tightly guarded intelligent computer - Grace?

In an instant, Lin Xian felt that he was trapped in a huge illusion, which made him a little unsure for a moment.

From Lin Xian's cautious point of view, after learning about the evacuation route, his first choice must be to evacuate against all odds. After all, they are in the polar night, and this Yijin City is full of dangerous mycelium, and there is no means of fighting back. As long as he doesn't see the dawn, Lin Xian can't feel at ease.

And according to the information that Grace just told him, there might be corpse chasers lurking near Yijin City. In this case, they must not risk leaving the city. The best way is to hide in the tunnels deep underground and wait for the next mycelium activity period before leaving.

The reason why Lin Xian was unsure was that he could not judge the authenticity of the information.

Ding Junyi noticed the seriousness on Lin Xian's face and asked, "Are you worried that this might be a trap set by 'her'?"

Lin Xian looked at Grace, who had shut down her computer and was restarting it, took a deep breath, and nodded, "We are in a passive position now."

"I know that the evacuation route was provided by her, and she also said not to evacuate. All vehicles are staying in the underground tunnel. If it is a trap, we will lose any chance of escape."

Rumble~
The sound of the shaking rails was getting closer, and Lin Xian's mind was racing.

Finally, Lin Xian's eyes fixed, and he walked forward and grabbed Grace. The power armor on his body quickly transmitted torque, lifting this seemingly petite but actually nearly half a ton humanoid robot. The mechanical heart ran quickly, cutting off Grace's energy line and shutting it down directly, and then walked out of the passage.

"We can only take a gamble. Everyone, rest quietly underground!"

Ding Junyi looked at Lin Xian deeply, and then followed him.

Wow!

The combined train was like a giant steel dragon, going straight into the ground along the secret underground track of the freight station maintenance workshop in the thick spore fog. It was picked up by Ning Jing all the way deep into the underground tunnel. The huge movement caused a large number of active hyphae to begin to roll, and countless human fungi gathered around.

At the freight station, Kiki teamed up with Ning Jing and a group of psychics to block the human fungi and human head fungi outside the passage. From time to time, violent explosions were heard, and soon the entire freight station was engulfed in flames!
"The situation is almost out of control!" Kiki looked at the dense human bacteria in the spore fog in the air and shouted anxiously in the communicator.

"We can't care about that anymore. We have to completely block the intersection!"

Ning Jing shouted, and threw a piece of container steel plate in her hand. Woo! The steel plate broke through the air with violent potential energy, chopping countless human fungi into pieces like cutting melons and vegetables. A large number of wet and rotten organs were sprayed with mucus, but there was no blood. They were colorful like plants.

The combined train was really too long. As a large number of carriages poured in, the sound of wind pressure continued to whistle out in the underground tunnel. It took more than ten minutes before all 500 carriages entered the underground tunnel. At this time, the entire freight station had almost been bombed into ruins, and the spore mist and strong wind were like a sandstorm!
"Let's go in quickly and seal the entrance!"

"quick!"

Instantly, dozens of people with special abilities rushed into the underground tunnel.

Ning Jing shouted to Abai at this time: "Abai, it's your turn."

Kiki said worriedly: "Will such a large explosion trigger a chain reaction?"

"No, this is not in the main city, and we have to clear most of the hidden dangers."

"Okay!" Kiki heard this and immediately put up a large telekinetic shield: "Hurry up, I'll block the road."

Ah Bai nodded, and immediately stood up and raised his sunglasses in the critical situation. In an instant, a dark red laser beam swept across the ruins of the freight station like a windshield wiper, directly cutting the spreading hyphae and human fungi into pieces. The next moment, a red explosion lit up in the human fungi like some special energy shock, and all the giant rats that came out of the shadows were annihilated. A shocking explosion sounded within a radius of several kilometers throughout the freight station!
Boom boom boom! !

The earth shook, the yellow sand rolled, and a powerful shock wave came!

Kiki and other people who were responsible for the rear guard blocked the tunnel entrance and were directly rushed into the tunnel below by the shock wave. The flying rocks and dust instantly buried the tunnel entrance like a tsunami, and caused a huge collapse of the entrance. The group of people rushed hundreds of meters inside before the earth-shaking force gradually subsided.

This secret track entrance was thus completely buried, directly preventing those humans and bacteria from invading.

The huge noise caused a shock in the city of Yijin. Countless strange howls came from the dark alleys in the street corners and the wild polar night outside the city. The whole city seemed to be awakened at this moment. The horrors in the darkness and all kinds of indescribable creatures quickly rushed towards the freight station!
The 15-kilometer-long joint train is now roaring on the track dozens of meters underground!

"Turn on the spray systems in all carriages to clean up the attached spore mist!"

“Use the sterilizer!”

"Hurry up!"

"Instructions have come from the Infinity, everyone prepare to put out the fire!"

"Put out the fire?"

Hua Hua Hua.

In the dim tunnel, Lu Xingchen squatted on a high maintenance stand, looking at the front of the Longshan No. 1 vehicle that was about to rush over, ready to go.

"Hey, Brother Luo, are you sure this method is really feasible?"

Brother Huo asked Luo Yang on the communicator.

"Brother Lu, of course you can. These spores are not very explosive. I have asked Captain Chen and Brother Shi to notify all teams to take fire precautions. Only in this way can we clean up the spore dust outside the train to the greatest extent. Otherwise, there will definitely be hidden dangers." Luo Yang said confidently in the communicator.

"it is good!"

"In ancient times, there was the Water Gate Ceremony. Today, there is the Fire Gate Purification Ceremony of the Divine Fire Immortal Venerable!"

Lu Xingchen, wearing a gas mask, chuckled, flames ignited on his fingertips, and shouted into the communicator: "Be careful, it will be very hot next."

"God, wall of fire!"

Lu Xingchen clasped his hands together and pushed forward. A huge fire rushed directly towards the united train, instantly engulfing the entire tunnel in flames!
He controlled the fire only to burn the mycelium spores attached to the outside of the car as the 'final link' of multiple disinfection.

In an instant, all the carriages rushing by at high speed were washed by a wave of heat, and the spores outside the carriages ignited tiny flames like sparks, like fire sand, burning everything along the way.

Some of the exposed devices outside the carriages caught fire, but were quickly extinguished by prepared team members using fire extinguishers or sprinklers.

The long iron dragon rushed along the dark track, and after being disinfected by fire, it finally arrived at the area where the Zero Element Center was located.

Lin Xian and Ding Junyi were standing on the platform with Grace, who had turned off her phone. They watched the combined train pass by with a scorching smell of wind pressure. They arranged on the communicator, "Stop in front of the subway connection section, just the right distance from here. The last train, Ocean and Parrot, will be responsible for blocking the road and setting up a sentry system for monitoring. The first train, Brother Shi, Sister Ning, and Teacher Chen, take people to clean up the subway line. At least block the road 1 kilometer away in both the north and south directions, and arrange people to take turns!"

"For other convoys, arrange for team members wearing protective equipment to leave the carriages for the final cleaning. Other irrelevant personnel are prohibited from getting off the vehicles!"

"no problem!"

"Roger that, Captain Lin!"

"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange it right away."

At this moment, above the ground, the entire city of Ijin, which was covered with mycelium, was surging with undercurrents, while underground, a joint train with more than 4,000 people was busy setting up defenses, and all the team members wearing protective equipment got out of the cabin and began to carry out the final cleaning of the outside of the carriage.

Standing on the platform, Lin Xian looked at the endless doomsday train and said with deep emotion:
"I never thought that one day so many trains would go underground together for shelter."

"What are you going to do with this place?" Ding Junyi looked at Lin Xian and said.

Lin Xian turned back to look at the passage of the Zero Element Center: "Let's empty the things in the permanent warehouse first, just in case. When we leave, we can clean up here."

"Clean up? Do you want to empty this place?"

"if not."

Lin Xian said, "Here are small nuclear energy devices, various instruments you need or don't need, a large amount of precious metal materials, robotic arms, and robots. It would be a pity not to take them away."

"If that's the case, then those Crimson members here will definitely die." Ding Junyi said.

Lin Xian smiled and nodded when he heard this, "They have antennas in their brains. It's good for them to die. I'm going to take away their coffins... No, I'm going to take away their survival capsules as well. I'll feel like a good person if I leave even one screw behind."

What a joke! The underground research institute of the Advent sect plus a group of powerful members who were possessed by demons and wanted to achieve eternal life and went to "counter-parasite" the dark creatures. Lin Xian did not burn them all with fire, mainly because he was afraid of getting burned.

"Lin Xian!"

Infinity and Longshan No. 1 were about one kilometer away from the Zero Element Center. Kiki quickly brought Chen Sixuan and others over here. At the same time, people from Longshan No. 1, the Sun, the Joker Fleet, and the Queen Mo also gathered here.

Lin Xian raised his hand and 20 Thunder Falcon drones flew over quickly and gathered behind him, like a ring-shaped mechanical Dharma image.

"Girl, help me set up a patrol program for these drones. I'll arrange for them to patrol the subway docking station." The subway docking station is the only direction for trains to evacuate. Now that more than 4,000 people are resting underground, Lin Shi is really worried, so he has considered multiple preparations!

"no problem."

Kiki immediately took out her mobile device and suddenly saw Grace, who had not turned on her phone, beside Lin Xian. She was immediately surprised.

"Hey, did you take care of this guy?"

"Not yet. It restarted on its own. I took this opportunity to shut it down and take it back to the car. When we get out, find a way to overwrite its system. Then we will have an extra butler robot."

Kiki's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Wow, that's great, finally there is an intelligent robot, I can be free now~"

At this time, Chen Sixuan, Shuqin, Shasha and others also looked at this robot that looked like a female body art piece, and they all showed surprise on their faces.

"Oh my God, what is this, a robot? It's so beautiful!" Sasha walked over with her eyes wide open.

"It seems that you have discovered something extraordinary." Chen Sixuan said.

"How are you guys? Did you encounter anything strange?" Lin Xian asked.

"No." Shuqin shook her head: "Except for sealing the gaps in the doors and windows, we have remained silent."

"Several convoys have encountered accidents. The cars have been invaded by spores and some people have been infected. Brother Shi has already notified them in advance. In this case, we can only abandon the car and seal the carriages." Chen Sixuan said.

"how many people?"

"There are probably... more than a hundred people." Chen Sixuan's tone was slightly heavy.

Lin Xian nodded: "It's good that the situation has not spread."

"Team Lin."

At this time, Monica and her group of men also walked over along the passage beside the track. At the same time, there were Qian Dele and his group, Luo Yang from the Sun Team, Li Yi also followed behind wearing a large gas mask, and Shi Diyuan, with a bandage on his face, also followed Ning Jing and led people to gather on the platform of the Zero Element Center.

"What's going on now? Are we all going to stay here underground?" Monica didn't wear her mink coat, but a red full-coverage armor. It was a lightweight armor that looked like some kind of leather combat uniform at first glance. Because of her tall figure, this armor not only showed off her amazing figure, but the full-coverage mask also completely blocked the spore mist. It was obviously a valuable private design.

"I don't like staying underground. It's moldy and damp here, and there's no maintenance. If there's a landslide, we'll all be buried alive." Qian Dele said in a muffled voice while wearing a gas mask.
"It's good to have a place to stay." Shi Diyuan came from behind and said in a loud voice: "It's better to stay here than to be surrounded by those half-human, half-ghost, half-vegetative people who are more powerful than explosives!"

"Captain Lin," Ning Jing asked Lin Xian at this time, "Are you sure we want to wait here for the next mycelium activity cycle?"

Lin Xian nodded and looked at everyone

"The plan has changed. We have to rest here underground for 30 hours. There are some other situations as well. Please convey them quickly."

After saying that, Lin Xian led everyone into the monitoring hall of the Zero Element Center and told everyone the previous situation and the information about the corpse driver.

"To be honest, I'm not sure about this information, but we should be safe underground at the moment. As long as the road is clear, we can move immediately if we encounter any problems."

"Corpse driver?" Qian Dele crossed his arms and said, "Every time I hear this name, it's never a good omen."

Ning Jing looked at her: "Have you seen it?"

Qian Dele shrugged. "I haven't seen it, but when I escaped from Star Abyss No. 4, I encountered a very large monster tide. I was the only one who escaped among the dozen or so convoys I met along the way. It was indeed a disaster star."

"I heard that the corpse chaser is the gatekeeper of the Midnight Tide." Monica also spoke up at this time: "Every star abyss has one. We are now at the northwest edge of Star Abyss No. 5, so it shouldn't be surprising that this thing appears."

"Yeah!" Shi Diyuan also nodded. He looked at Lin Xian and said, "Brother Lin, let's do as you say. We only have one life after all, so it's better to believe it than not. It's better for you to find an escape route than for us to repair the track. At worst, you can just stay underground for a day. It won't kill you."

"I agree too." Luo Yang said at this time: "We will follow Captain Lin's arrangements in everything."

Li Yi stood aside and said with a strange look on her face: "Captain Lin, should we all stay in the car?"

Lin Xian nodded and said, "This Crimson World has set up several secret permanent warehouses along the Yijin underground track. There are a lot of supplies. In addition, everyone has been traveling all the way from Xilan City, so we can just use them to replenish our supplies. We will rest in this tunnel today. However, to be on the safe side, each team must have a rotation of personnel. Those shallow areas have already been infiltrated by mycelium, so we should avoid light. All carriages should also be kept as quiet as possible. We may set off at any time!"

"Okay! Let's do this. Let's inform those dozen or so convoys immediately. With too many people, it will be difficult to dispatch them. A large ship will be difficult to turn around. We have to be cautious with so many people." said Shi Diyuan.

After saying that, Lin Xian's arrangements were quickly conveyed and each team began to take action.

In the monitoring hall, Qian Dele, Monica and others came to the side of the glass curtain wall and looked at the honeycomb pit below with surprise on their faces.

"Uploading consciousness, eternal life in a fantasy world? Isn't this a digital life plan that has long been banned?" Qian Dele crossed his arms and said, "Uploading your consciousness to those disgusting mushroom mycelium, the thought of it makes me sick."

Monica also smiled and said, "What fools! Once infected by mycelium, even if you are still alive, you will be neither human nor ghost. What's the point of living like this?"

"I heard that after being connected to the mycelium, the dopamine factor state will be maintained at 10 times higher than the happiest state of humans." Luo Yang came over and said, "These people are really brave. I dare not let those weird mycelium get into my brain."

"I think everyone wants to escape the reality of doomsday. The polar night can't be escaped. So if we can avoid the invasion of darkness, it might be a way of gambling." Li Yi came over with a big belly. She had witnessed all kinds of tragic scenes along the way. She also saw many examples of people who were not even invaded by darkness but chose to end their lives to escape reality because of the collapse of their inner beliefs.

In the battle of Xilan Airport, many people she knew died, and her husband Liang Lei is still in a coma. If it weren't for Uncle Wu who risked his life to fight, she would have become a pregnant widow. Compared with others, Li Yi's situation is much more difficult, so after merging with Luo Yang's team, the two of them came up with the idea of ​​joining Infinity.

Li Yi looked at Lin Xian who was busy making arrangements in the distance, her expression was very complicated. Luo Yang was okay, as her team was made up of young people who were full of vigor, intelligence and combat effectiveness. However, Liang Lei, the strongest fighter in their team, was now missing. Not only did she bring a car full of more than a dozen children, she was also pregnant, which sounded like a complete burden. This made her not have the courage to speak to Lin Xian.

"Hey!~" At this time, Shasha came over and asked curiously: "Why do these people's survival capsules look like batteries?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes turned towards the honeycomb pit at the same time. They saw that in the circles of honeycombs that led down from the pit, the lights of the oval survival capsules kept flickering. It looked like a row of neatly arranged battery compartments, connected by hyphae to transport energy.

"Good guy!"

Shi Diyuan finished communicating with Lin Xian at this time, and the group came over together.

"I heard that someone in Dawn City also built a hibernation chamber and sealed himself in it, hoping to wake up again after a hundred years, and the end of the world will have passed."

"That's a nice thought." Qian Dele sneered, "Unless we can develop a technology to block the invasion of darkness, the hibernation chamber will be nothing more than a zombie incubator in the polar night."

"Okay, forget about this place."

At this time, Lin Xian came over and said to everyone
"We just made quite a commotion. Let's all go back to the carriages. The mycelium active period will end in 40 minutes, and then it will attract countless strange bodies. We should remain silent in the carriages. If it is safe, we can arrange for people to move the supplies in the permanent warehouse first. In the remaining time, we should rest and prepare the train. The underground is dangerous and no one can escape if there is a landslide. As for safety, as long as there is no mycelium invasion, strange bodies cannot get in."

"Yes, let's act quickly." Chen Sixuan also said at this time.

As soon as Lin Xian's words came out, everyone immediately started to act. Lin Xian blocked the passage of the Zero Element Center with a mechanical door, and then returned to the Infinity with Chen Sixuan and others. Kiki had configured Lin Xian's 20 Thunder Falcon drones, and all flew to the dark area of ​​the subway docking station at the front of the joint train to start patrolling, and everyone on the Infinity finally returned to the train at this time.

"The underground tunnel is very humid, and with the mycelium infiltration, everyone should be more careful."

As soon as he got in the car, Lin Xian said to everyone.

[Non-mechanical energy has been converted, and 1000 mechanical source points have been obtained. ]

At this time, the light screen in front of him lit up again, and the Hell Black Chrysanthemum actually converted 1000 mechanical source points for Lin Xian again!
"This S-level is really fat, it actually got so many upgrades."

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian thought to himself.

You have to know that there are nearly 40,000 survivors in the entire Xilan City. Even if there are individual differences, these people must have achieved unprecedented huge improvements.

However, problems also arise. Such a huge amount of dark energy puts enormous pressure on the body. As far as Lin Xian knows, many people in the convoy have not yet recovered from the tragic battle. Anxiety, worry, fear and all kinds of negative emotions are constantly growing.

For this purpose, Lin Xian specifically gave instructions to each team. Because of the deep polar night, the darkness invaded and the mental pressure of the team members themselves, so all team members must be given psychological counseling to boost their confidence. Otherwise, once alienation occurs, those originally strong combat forces will become the source of misfortune, triggering a chain reaction of infection, and the more than 500 train carriages underground will become 500 sealed cans.

Soon, under Lin Xian's arrangement, after the combined train completed the cleaning of the carriages and the stationing of the front and rear of the train, it all entered a silent state, waiting for the end of the mycelium active period.

Inside the Infinity train's No. 1 carriage, the lights went out and the entire tunnel was in darkness. The United Train was like a giant steel dragon buried deep underground, and it was extremely quiet at this moment.

Above the surface, the cycle of the active period of mycelium is about to end. The spore fog in the city is getting thicker. The fungal carpets and various luminous mushrooms on the streets and buildings are swaying in the breeze. Countless human fungi are standing quietly in the dark alleys and corners of the streets. The mycelium vines connected to their bodies are connected to the fungal carpet on the earth, and scarlet energy is constantly flowing.

In the center of Yijin City, a 468-meter TV sightseeing tower covered with billions of hyphae vines stands in the middle of Puzhong Square. The countless folds of the mushroom cap with a diameter of two kilometers emit rustling sounds in the sky. From a distance, it sounds as if thousands of monks are chanting underworld scriptures, which is extremely eerie.

At this time, the energy of the mycelium vines under the huge crown that covered the sky continued to gather, and the entire cap seemed to emit a breath of some ancient disaster, which became heavier and heavier. Finally, at a moment, the huge crown that covered the sky began to leak out a black sticky mist like a torrent, pouring down directly, as if a huge hole appeared in the sky, and black clouds fell to the ground!
The sticky fog was like waves, spreading out from the center of the city, flooding the streets, flooding the buildings, and filling the dark alleys. Soon, the entire Yijin City began to be covered by the sticky fog, and in this sticky black fog that could not be seen through or touched, countless indescribable creatures emerged.

Eerie whispers sounded in the dark alleys, piercing roars echoed in the darkness, terror is coming, weirdness is arriving!
