Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1063 - 405: God’s Creation_3

"No dark marks detected, and there are no fluctuations around us either. We’ve encountered this situation before in White City, Lin Xian, do you remember?"

Lin Xian nodded. He knew KIKI was referring to the white figure they encountered in the tunnel in White City, which rapidly retreated without marking the team in any way. This behavior seemed completely different from that of the Abnormal Body.

"Lin Xian."

At this moment, from above, Ryuji arrived with Ding Junyi and Xiao Yuan. Ding Junyi, carrying the Cultivation Chamber of the Blood Vine, said to Lin Xian,

"It’s underwater!"

"I’ll go take a look."

"Wait!" Lin Xian stopped Ryuji, looked at the dark waters below the deep water opening, and said, "The mist is too thick, it’s not safe underwater. Viola, deploy 10 underwater drones to search."

[Okay]

Woo!

In an instant, ten small yellow underwater drones were summoned by Lin Xian, quickly descending into the deep water opening. Under Viola’s control, they turned on their lights and began the search.

KIKI watched the drones descend into the deep sea continuously and spoke.

"That thing didn’t attack us, and it ran as soon as we chased it. Could it be a recon scout for the Abnormal Body or something like that?" She looked towards Lin Xian as she spoke: "Wasn’t the Cloud Black Thorn of Xilan City the scout of the Star Abyss Dominator No.5?"

"It’s possible." Qian Deli nodded, "It makes sense for the monsters to be organized. It shows we’re on their radar."

Chen Sixuan said cautiously: "But the Cloud Black Thorn in Xilan City aimed to mark the entire city as Level 5. Since the Dark Creatures identify targets through marking, why haven’t we been marked, even at Level 1?"

"In any case, this thing is definitely not from Blue Star," Lin Xian looked at Shi Zhi: "Shi Zhi, have you experienced this situation in Silent City before?"

Shi Zhi shook her head, paused, and then quickly nodded, saying softly: "The situation was slightly different, but we encountered it before. We did not pursue it because those monsters seemed to flee once seen..."

[Target Found.]

At that moment, Viola suddenly responded, [The drones detected massive fluctuations of Abnormal Body entities at a depth of 121 meters underwater. Proceed with caution.]

Viola’s words instantly made everyone tense. Lin Xian hurriedly asked, "Was it that monster from before?"

[No, the drones scanned a large number of alien deep-sea creatures over 50 meters in size, but they haven’t created any disturbance at the moment.]

"What do you mean by no disturbance, are they not approaching us?"

Viola turned around, then projected the underwater images through a holographic display for Lin Xian, and spoke.

[No, it seems these creatures have not noticed us yet.]

Lin Xian and the others looked over, and their faces immediately changed, a chilling sensation shot straight to their brains.

Under the dark ocean, countless bizarre forms with numerous squid-like tentacles yet having humanoid torsos floated eerily in deep water. Their heads resembled a certain type of transparent snakefish, with skirts slowly rippling. Hundreds, thousands, drifted silently with the ocean current, entirely motionless, like an inverted forest in the deep sea.

Seeing this scene, they couldn’t help but gasp, this terrifying scene made their scalps tingle, spreading a deep-water phobia among them.

"So many Abnormal Bodies..."

"Are they asleep, or...?"

"Perhaps the Black Tide hasn’t arrived, so they’re not active." Ding Junyi said, "Or we haven’t been marked with the dark mark, so they can’t detect us."

"Director Ding," at this time, Xiao Yuan pointed at the Cultivation Chamber in her hand and said, "The Blood Vine seems to have stopped moving."

Ding Junyi glanced over and found that the Blood Vine, which had been continuously growing and extending, had now curled up again, retracting its previously extended tendrils. She immediately looked towards Lin Xian.

"It disappeared."

"We need to leave immediately." Lin Xian quickly told everyone: "The path is cleared, we’re leaving Deep Water Port to head to Sea Rock Island. I have an uneasy feeling about this place, getting to the island feels safer."

Everyone nodded in understanding, then started to leave.

Lin Xian called for Ning Jing and Brother Huo and the others to quickly return to the Infinity to prepare for departure. On the way back, he casually transferred an undamaged Sky Fighter that had fallen to the Black Star Forge for future devouring.

Just as he was about to enter the freight station platform to board, Lin Xian’s Mechanical Heart suddenly roared fiercely, the violent energy circulation gave him a jolt.

"What’s going on..."

Lin Xian halted, pressed his chest, and the Mechanical Heart calmed down, but moments ago he had distinctly felt the overloaded operation of his Mechanical Heart out of control.

At this moment, Lin Xian turned around, suddenly noticing among a pile of dry, rotten corpses at the special metal-constructed freight platform, an inexplicable palm-sized crack, as if pierced by something sharp, yet there were no traces of large Abnormal Body impact around.

And this was exactly the spot where the mysterious humanoid creature had been previously.

Instinctively, Lin Xian walked over, increasingly unsettled, because the edge of that crack on the metal surface showed signs of high-strength stretching. According to his Power Armor’s detection sensors, the edge exhibited a higher temperature than the surrounding area. He squatted down, shone a light into the palm-sized crack, and what he saw inside made his pupils contract, displaying an expression of disbelief.

The depth of the crack exceeded 10 centimeters, and at the bottom was a metallic object resembling a dice, covered in rust dust and iron filings.

Lin Xian’s surprise stemmed from discovering that this crack seemed to have been created by this thumb-sized metal cube. Not only that, upon approaching, his Power Armor’s monitoring detected that the metal dice exhibited a higher temperature, indicating ongoing slight friction.

"What is this thing?"

Lin Xian raised a hand to create a metal clip, intending to pick it up, since the ability to create such a deep dent in the freight station’s metal flooring was not simply a matter of kinetic energy, but also of super high hardness. Notably, Star Orbital’s freight platforms are designed for hoisting tons of cargo, not made of ordinary metal plates. Even with an armor-piercing bullet, it might not penetrate this deep, Lin Xian didn’t know, but a bullet couldn’t retain the pristine shape like this metal die.

When Lin Xian tried to clip it up, he found it wouldn’t budge, so he enveloped it with dozens of metal wires and lifted it, but no matter how hard he tried, the metal dice remained motionless.

That’s when Lin Xian realized something was abnormal.

"Lin Xian, why aren’t you on the vehicle yet." KIKI called him from the car door; Lin Xian turned, motioned her over, "Little girl, come over."

KIKI approached swiftly, looking puzzled.

"What’s up?"

Lin Xian pointed to the metal dice embedded in the ground, "Use telekinesis to pull it out."

"Why..."

At his words, KIKI glanced over, her telekinesis surged. Surprisingly, air trembled slightly, and KIKI missed the first attempt. Looking both at Lin Xian and the dice, she got serious, her eyes shimmering as she fully enveloped the metal die in her supernatural glow.

Thin, screeching sounds of tearing erupted from the ground, followed by the metal dice finally floating upward slowly under KIKI’s strong powers.

"Lin Xian," KIKI spoke with utmost seriousness, her eyes glowing white, "Do you realize how heavy this thing is?"

"At least a thousand tons!"

Lin Xian was shocked, looking at the metal die floating in mid-air, feeling an icy shiver down his spine.

This tiny metal die with a volume of just 1 cubic centimeter had a mass of nearly a thousand tons, approaching 1% of a neutron star’s mass. Without extreme gravity, how could such a mass possibly appear on Blue Star?

And still, it retained an absolutely smooth cubic form.

The strangest thing was that it had its pips etched in circular patterns, as if some divine creation, playing a bizarre, ironic prank on humanity...
