The sun was just right, with a gentle breeze blowing.
Clang, clang.
The Infinity was racing swiftly along the tracks by Shijiu Lake, heading back toward Hengshan Pass.
Upon hearing that the train now had a fully functional life-saving surgical dical cabin, the passengers in each carriage were all exceptionally excited. In this suffocating and bizarre apocalypse, having a precious dical system within a moving iron fortress was incredibly uplifting.
Before this, even a common injury without dication could easily lead to a bacterial infection and death, suffering from the assault of darkness, potentially mutating into a zombie or ghoul.
In Carriage 4, the soilless cultivation pod and plant cultivation cabin had been fully set up. Ding Junyi was currently leading a few assistants to begin plant breeding. This was not at the top of Ding Junyi’s agenda, but due to Lin Xian’s request, she temporarily set aside the research on the Foundation Research Institute’s data to push this task forward first.
From Ding Junyi’s perspective, Lin Xian’s decisions were aningful and necessary. Rarely did she refrain from evaluating them from her rational viewpoint.
In front of the cultivation cabin, Ding Junyi bent slightly to look at the nutrient soil inside the glass pod, adjusted her glasses, and completed the basic work. The assistants had already left, and Ding Junyi was ticulously recording logs with a mobile terminal.
"The interior of the train is not affected by the darkness. Perhaps the plants will benefit from this."
Ding Junyi mused silently. Just as she was about to turn and leave, her peripheral vision caught sothing, so she turned back to look at the soil in the cultivation cabin.
In one planting area, the loose soil seed to move slightly, a discovery that imdiately made Ding Junyi cautious.
To her, any unreasonable biological phenona could be related to the dark mutations, which could potentially disrupt the train’s safety environnt. A thought of detecting anomalies flashed instantly in her mind, prompting her to turn back and observe carefully, not missing any minute changes.
"Box 12A, lettuce seeds..."
As Ding Junyi focused her eyes, the patch of loose soil moved again. This ti, she directly saw a pale sprout tip breaking through the soil, appearing in her line of sight.
Seeing this, Ding Junyi imdiately frowned, realizing the gravity of the situation.
The cold wind intensified, with temperatures dropping several degrees overnight. Such extrely abnormal climate changes caused large areas of lakeside mountain swamps and other green plant landscapes to die, turning the world into hues of brown and starting a slow march towards desolation.
Lin Xian stood on the roof of Carriage 1, gazing into the distance toward Shijiu Lake. A brisk wind blew steadily, the vast water surface glittering under the sun. If not aware of the Abyssal Giant Monster lurking thousands of ters deep beneath the water, this forr tourist spot would seem idyllic.
But Lin Xian wasn’t there to enjoy the view; he wanted to test a newly acquired skill.
"Gravitational Lens, it sounds impressive, but I don’t know how it will actually work."
This was the only skill description he couldn’t quite understand.
Lin Xian took a deep breath, raised his hand, and directly activated the skill towards the distant sky.
Gravitational Lens!
As he launched the skill, Lin Xian’s expression suddenly changed dramatically, for in an instant, he felt his entire body being rapidly drained of energy. A vast sense of exhaustion hit him like a collapsing mountain, causing his face to turn significantly pale.
Hiss~
He drew a sharp breath and looked up, seeing that a space over a hundred ters high above was starting to warp rapidly. In a flash, the space began to display dazzling halos.
At this mont, the dazzling region seed to warp even the rays of sunlight into it, becoming increasingly bright, and then, in an instant, a scorching ray about the thickness of a barrel shot down to the lake’s surface below!
Boom!
The high temperature of the beam instantly evaporated a wide expanse of the water surface, a large amount of white steam rising into the air!
Seeing this scene, Lin Xian was stunned. Unexpectedly, a flick of his finger sent the ray sweeping towards the direction of the train.
"Holy shit!"
Buzz!
He imdiately tried to restrain his gesture, but it was too late. The scorching white ray swept across on land from the water surface, narrowly passing in front of the Infinity’s gigantic 03E heavy-duty gas turbine locomotive!
At this mont, Lin Xian was finally out of energy and turned off the Gravitational Lens.
Covered in cold sweat, he looked at the path the train had taken. A ter-wide charred path extended for several hundred ters in a straight black line, the ground seemingly shaved a palm’s thickness, leaving him both amazed and terrified.
"Damn, I almost sliced the train in half!"
Lin Xian looked at his hand in astonishnt, silently noting how incredibly powerful the Gravitational Lens was—its might surpassing all his previous skills by a margin!
"The only problem is it drains too damn much energy." Lin Xian dropped onto the roof, gasping heavily. In just those brief two seconds, he felt like he had been worn out by twenty won overnight, an indescribable exhaustion.
"At full stamina, I might be able to hold on for 3-5 seconds."
