Chapter 1255 - 484: Storm Coast
Bang bang bang!The Sky Dome Train, using magnetic levitation on the track, moved without any delay. The immense power directly propelled the intercontinental train stationed on the track, as the carriage connections emitted a series of stable humming sounds that were pleasing to the ear. Then, the iron wheels sparked massively on the rusty track as the giant train finally started moving out from the orbit station on Hawaii Waahu Island!
"This is really interesting. Running on the track actually gives me a more reliable feeling than flying in the air." Qian Deli looked at the extended, straight track ahead and said wistfully.
Smoke and dust continued to rise on the track. Various abandoned vehicles or debris blocking the track were all pushed aside by the cutting beams and high-pressure jets from the train’s clearing device at the bow. The intelligent system of the Sky Dome Train could efficiently detect the track’s condition ahead. With the accompaniment of a large number of drones by Lin Xian, even confronting broken bridges or roadblocks wouldn’t halt the train’s advance in the slightest.
"We don’t need to worry about track issues at all. What we should worry about is that."
Lin Xian stood at the forefront of the main bridge, watching as the coastline’s sea water receded at a visibly rapid pace, revealing vast areas of wet sand and reef regions. Meanwhile, the dark sky in the distance seemed to be closing in on the island just like when they encountered the Devour from Star Abyss No.5. In no time, they could see a large area of the sea covered by darkness.
"This is..." Sha Sha frowned, looking at this scene, and said nervously, "The sea is retreating?"
"It’s a tsunami."
Shu Qin said with a gloomy look, "It’s clearly already daylight, so why is Star Abyss starting to expand again?"
"Who knows!"
Qian Deli shook his head: "Anyway, it’s not a good thing. Don’t let it drag us into some strange place again, it’s hard to dock in this vast ocean."
"It doesn’t seem like Star Abyss is expanding..." Lin Xian at this point looked towards the northern side of the train. There, a similarly gloomy black curtain was also expanding: "It seems like there’s something inside Star Abyss releasing..."
"Da Lou Shu Qin, Qian Deli, Monica, keep watch on the main tower. Miao Lu, Lv Chang, go arm the train and assist Ning Jing. Brother Huo and Ryuji, no need to say more."
"Understood."
"Brother Lin can rest assured!"
"Shi Zhi." He finished and looked at Shi Zhi: "You go to the Hibernation Pod, there’s a surge of dark energy under the sea, I’m worried that the Dark Energy Synchronization Device and the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube might not hold."
In the Hibernation Pod, KIKI, Teacher Chen, Little Qing A Bai, and Luo Yang were expected to take at least one or two more hours to complete their evolution. At this critical stage, Lin Xian was worried that such a situation might affect them, so he arranged for Shi Zhi to go there just in case.
Shi Zhi immediately understood Lin Xian’s intention and nodded at once: "Alright, I’ll go right away!"
On the Sky Bridge, Ryuji and Lu Xingchen both floated in mid-air, looking sharply in the north and south directions. As the black curtain continued to spread, the originally clear sky quickly became overcast.
Ryuji’s eyes flickered with blue electricity, and he said in a calm voice: "Something is coming this way."
"The sky and earth have changed, a scarlet anomaly." Lu Xingchen crossed his arms as a surge of energy moved through his body: "It seems our return journey is destined to be uneasy, which is fine. It’s just the right time to test the results of our evolution."
Wow!
In a short time, the Sky Dome Train had accelerated to a speed of over one hundred miles per hour, racing through a residential area and a freight port section, heading swiftly out into the turbulent Pacific Ocean.
The wind howled, the sea turned darker and darker, waves surged layer upon layer, and the sea water at the coastline had receded by dozens of meters, revealing a damp sea bed full of bones and garbage. At the same time, large areas of white spray appeared on the sea surface, like the advancing tide.
Lin Xian frowned deeply. He noticed these waves didn’t seem to be heading toward the train but rather spreading in some large-scale manner in all directions!
Detecting something unusual, the dim yellow mechanical light in Lin Xian’s eyes brightened sharply, urging the Sky Dome Train to keep accelerating.
A large number of paralyzed train carriages and various types of blocked vehicles formed a congestion area over two kilometers long on the track ahead. Besides the train, there was a defense line previously set up by the military with barricades and barbed wire, now only littered with corpses and zombies wandering around. The bow lights of the Sky Dome Train, as dazzling as the blazing sun, made the zombies turn their gaze at the gradually enlarging giant train.
"Ryuji, clear the way!"
"Understood."
Lin Xian’s voice reached Ryuji’s ears, and wearing a black power armor, Ryuji immediately opened the Sky Bridge’s transparent porthole. His whole body surged with a force that made the air vibrate and distort, then he swiftly flew forward and raised a sword finger in the air!
Wham!
Just as the Sky Dome Train was about to crash into the clogged train, a high-frequency roar resonating like a shockwave rang out. All the trains, cars, blocked barricades, and barbed wire ahead of the train were instantly blasted away by an invisible thrust, followed by a light slash with Ryuji’s sword finger, and that invisible airwave silently sliced through the steel train and various blocking objects straight through the middle!
It was described as slicing, yet there was no sound of metal tearing, more like sand being silently disintegrated. The walls of death that once blocked the residents of Waahu Island from fleeing crumbled at this moment. What was most peculiar was that the car wreckage and various debris flying towards the sides of the track did not fall into the sea, but under Ryuji’s superpower, continued to roll in the air, with the main metal frames being left behind, shattered, reformed, and temporarily constructed into humanoid metal constructs about five to six meters tall, while other debris was filtered and poured into the sea with a splash.
