Chapter 112: Human SkullThe corridor breathed wrong.Seven felt it before he saw anything. That thin pressure in the air, like the building itself had started holding its breath and forgetting how to exhale.Tick.A sound drifted through the museum wide facility, bouncing off glass racks and hollow display corridors until it came back distorted, like something chewing on its own echo.Seven’s eyes narrowed.“Not empty,” he muttered, voice low, almost lazy, but his fingers had already adjusted the grip on the electric blade.KIKI froze beside him, head snapping in every direction.“This space is too big,” she whispered. “We can’t even tell where it’s coming from.”That was the problem.Everything here was too open, too polished, too wrong. Rows of display racks stretched like a dead museum that forgot it was supposed to be silent. The sound didn’t travel normally. It slid.Seven tilted

Chapter 114: The Depth Beneath the Hill Wind screamed through the broken maintenance tunnel as Seven steadied himself against the trembling metal railing, dust and crushed concrete sliding off his shoulders while the entire structure groaned like something alive trying not to wake up. He didn’t like this place. Not because it was dark. Darkness was normal. Because it felt wrong, like the air itself had been kneaded through something organic and left to rot in human shape. Whoosh. Seven exhaled once, slow, controlled, brushing grit from his sleeve as his eyes scanned the tunnel ahead with clinical precision. Behind him, KIKI clicked her tongue while adjusting her gear. “Walking into an earthquake zone under a collapsing underground city,” she muttered, “this is either courage or stupidity.” Seven didn’t slow down. “Does it matter which

Chapter 116: Under AttackThe freight platform of Underground City No.9 sat like a sealed tomb beneath layers of concrete and silence, and on Terminal Platform Level 65, inside the armored body of “Infinity,” the atmosphere had already begun to rot into something heavier than fear, something closer to suffocation mixed with helpless waiting as Chen Sixuan and Sha Sha kept their attention locked on the delayed signals from Seven and KIKI while the entire train interior carried that unnatural pressure that only comes from being buried too deep beneath a dead world that still refuses to stay dead.Chen Sixuan stood near the cockpit intercom with her hands slightly tense at her sides, her gaze fixed on the radar interface that flickered with static uncertainty, while Sha Sha sat further back near the cultivation chamber where the Hell Black Chrysanthemum was stored, her small frame unusually still as her eyes followed the faint mechanical vibrations of the train like s

C118: Climb Through the AbyssWHOOOOOOO!!!The Gemini 11R Nuclear Electric Locomotive screamed like a metal beast finally unchained, its nuclear drive core pushing raw torque into the wheels until the entire train felt like it was being kicked forward by a goddamn giant.The tunnel ahead was empty, black, and endless, the rails flashing under the headlight beam like thin silver veins carved into the earth.Seven kept both hands locked on the controls, knuckles pale, jaw clenched so hard it felt like his teeth might crack.This was not a joyride.This was a sprint through a coffin.The Gemini 11R had more horsepower than Infinity’s old Huanxing 7F engine, and it proved it immediately, because the speed climbed fast, too fast, and the tunnel air began to howl against the train’s frame as if the underground itself was screaming at them to stop.Seven didn’t blink.He didn’t relax.He didn’t even b

C120: 115 Escape Through Ruin “Hold on. Hold on tight.” Seven’s voice cracked through the intercom, low and rough, the kind of sound that came from a throat being dragged across broken glass, and it was not because he was panicking, but because every nerve in his body was being wrung dry as the Mechanical Heart inside his chest roared like a dying engine forced to run at full output. His eyes had gone bloodshot, veins crawling across the whites like cracked wiring, and sweat ran down his temples in thick lines, freezing the moment it touched the air. The Gemini 11R Nuclear Power Electric Locomotive was pulling like a monster that had decided it hated gravity, its nuclear core humming with a deep, ugly power that felt less like technology and more like an angry god trapped in steel. The Infinity surged forward with it, dragged through the upward tunnel at a speed that made the entire train groan, th
