Chapter 699: Chapter 699
"First, the people of the Deep Red World have set their sights on you, but this doesn’t mean you have a high priority. Right now, all powerful and special superpower users are on their hunting list, including me. I’m not from the Deep Red World, and as for why they are using my face as a holographic projection—you might find out later..."
"I see." Lin Xian turned his head to look at the corridor filled with the corpses of the Deep Red World. He had intended to explore the White Deer Beach Star Observation Station, but now... it seems no longer necessary.
Chu Yan, with a cold expression, looked at Lin Xian and said, "Secondly, if you are in Akse now, you probably don’t have enough time to evacuate the desert."
Hearing this, Lin Xian’s face slightly froze: "What do you mean?"
At this moment, a holographic interface appeared in front of Chu Yan’s Power Armor Mask, displaying a map simulation of the Star Abyss No.5 region. In the southeast direction of the Star Abyss No.5, there was an irregular expansion area, which was not a complete expansion but regional, making the originally circular Star Abyss No.5 now appear with an additional oval-shaped Extreme Night Area.
"Star Abyss No.5 has unstable energy anchor points. According to investigations by us and the Nightwalker’s second division, this is likely related to a large Taboo Item recently created by the Deep Red World. That thing is now somewhere in the desert, which is causing the sudden expansion of Star Abyss No.5. This expansion is irregular, non-circular radiation, extremely peculiar. The last occurrence was at the Wei River, and this time, that large Taboo Item appeared in the Akse Desert!"
"We speculate there was no disturbance in the Star Abyss today, so it’s highly likely to happen tomorrow. So if you can’t get out of the Akse Desert by dark tomorrow, I suggest returning back or detouring via the Helar Mountain Range."
Lin Xian’s face turned grave: "Impossible, we are the train group, and there’s only this one route we can take."
Going back means returning to Yijin City and Xilan City. Detouring around Star Abyss No.5 involves going back to Hengshan Pass, which is simply impossible.
Chu Yan responded with a calm face: "That’s your business, I can’t help you. Of course, if you’re extremely lucky, you might not encounter it. Good luck to you all."
Having said that, Chu Yan prepared to leave but stopped after taking a step, turning back to Lin Xian.
"Before these few times you’ve established this consciousness link with me, did any similar things happen?"
Not only was Lin Xian curious, but so was Chu Yan.
Her superpower was top secret, and now being probed by Lin Xian signaled a crisis. Normally, Chu Yan should immediately report this up to ensure the security of her special mission, but her usually calm demeanor led her to hold back on this, making every appearance of Lin Xian give her an eerily unreal feeling.
Moreover, through the investigation of Lin Xian’s background and deeds, Chu Yan felt relieved while also developing a curiosity about his Mechanical Superpower.
Mechanical superpower, from a certain perspective, almost embodies all the technological power available to human civilization, which can hardly be viewed through the simple lens of a ’superpower.’
Lin Xian took a deep breath, already having a vague answer in his mind.
Beep beep, beep beep.
The sound of a watch alert rang, startling Lin Xian, who quickly looked at the time.
It’s 5 AM, and Lin Xian had allowed himself only 6 hours of sleep to start out two hours early.
However, he was now extremely anxious, as if Chu Yan had said, they had to rush out of the desert by 18:45 tonight. So if they set off immediately, they had 13 hours and 45 minutes left!
The Joint Train must maintain a speed over 280 kilometers per hour to make it out of the desert before nightfall!
Seeing Lin Xian’s expression, Chu Yan guessed his intentions, seeing his consciousness forcibly awake, she shouted loudly:
"Listen carefully, regarding the Taboo Item, humans must have a correct understanding. It is not a treasure; it’s a distortion of power from another world that is incomprehensible. So-called containment is merely a way we’ve found to interact with it. Although some organizations now want to exploit this power, the dark invasive power of the Taboo Item cannot be eradicated; it’s a double-edged sword. The containment of the Taboo Item is hard to comprehend from a human perspective, just like drawing a line with a pen on white paper. You wouldn’t think your pen is magical, but if there’s a two-dimensional world on the paper, then your pen becomes a Divine Artifact that divides worlds."
On the Infinity train, Lin Xian’s eyes were shaking violently. He forcibly maintained consciousness, trying his best to hear every word from the gradually blurring Chu Yan.
"Do not try to understand Taboo Items with a human perspective. If you see it, do not look. If you attempt to understand, it will surely be contrary to common sense. Do not describe it!"
"And most of all, do not gaze at the sky!!"
Chu Yan’s voice elongated into a huge bell-like hum, echoing in the Dark Space. The sound, gradually coming closer, transformed into the wind blowing against the iron station sign at Akse Station Platform.
The bedroom door opened. Chen Sixuan saw Lin Xian suddenly awaken and immediately said: "The sandstorm is coming!"

But at this moment, Lin Xian directly got up and, using the Mechanical Heart, started the engine of the Giant Whale 03E heavy-duty gas turbine train!
The engine of the Giant Whale 03E roared like a lion, and the enormous traction torque hit, propelling the Dragon Mountain No.1 carriage in front and shaking each section, simultaneously jerking the train from behind!
At 5 AM, while most people were still asleep, the entire Joint Train suddenly echoed with the screeching of metal carriages!
As Lin Xian ran frantically towards the rear carriages, his face looking sharp, he pressed the communicator and shouted loudly for an all-channel broadcast:
"Everyone, depart immediately!"
