Chapter 301 Fleet upgrade!

Woohoo~
In the center of the huge honeycomb, countless life-support robots flew slowly by. Above them, a high-tech mechanical arm painted white was driven by an automatic program, constantly rotating and stopping along the partitions of each layer.

In the circular monitoring room, in the cabin elevator, a woman who was trembling all over like a drug addict was shivering on the ground. Some broken hyphae were shaken off by her and fell to the ground. They were broken into pieces when hit by her head and seemed to have lost their vitality.

KIKI’s words shocked everyone including Luo Yang. Lin Xian looked at her and asked, “Do you know her?”

KIKI nodded, frowning: “If I’m not mistaken, this woman should be called Tang Yun.” She looked at Lin Xian and said with a somewhat unhappy look: “She is my… the wife of my father’s brother.”

Lin Xian heard this and said, “Brother?”

“Ah.”

“That’s your aunt?” Lin Xian said

KIKI shrugged when he heard that: “I guess so. I don’t have much impression of these people, but this one… is not bad.”

Because of her life experience, KIKI has no feelings for the Wen family and doesn’t like any interactions with them. The people in the Wen family are also cold and indifferent to her as an illegitimate daughter. However, because the attitude of the second aunt in front of her is relatively kind, KIKI has a slight impression of her and does not dislike her.

After hearing this, Lin Xian understood. He knew KIKI’s background. Her biological father was the chairman of Linglong Group, the head of the largest consortium in Jinhai. Before the Apocalypse Day, Linglong Group was one of the largest real estate companies in Longguo, and also one of the top ten shipping groups in the world. Strictly speaking, although she was an illegitimate daughter, if there had been no Apocalypse Day, KIKI would definitely be considered the most upper-class daughter in Longguo.

If the woman named Tang Yun in front of him is KIKI’s aunt, then she should be a core figure in the Wen family. The appearance of such a person here cannot but arouse suspicion.

The woman was twitching and shaking on the ground. She was wearing a white dress. It was more like two pieces of cloth in front and back like a lab coat. It couldn’t cover anything. She was almost naked and twitching on the ground.

At this moment, KIKI beside him suddenly poked Lin Xian with his elbow, glared at him and asked, “What are you looking at?”

Lin Xian looked serious and gestured to KIKI: “There are still some mycelium on her head, so she may have become a human fungus.”

“Then… kill her?” KIKI said directly.

Lin Xian observed for a while and found that although the woman was twitching, she had normal physical signs. In addition, a “relative” from the end of the world suddenly appeared here, so Lin Xian was a little concerned and said to everyone.

“Stay away from her first.”

Then Lin Xian raised his hand and waved it. A mechanical light flashed in his hand, and he quickly created a mechanical transparent isolation cabin. He said to KIKI, “Put her in.”

KIKI understood what he meant and used her telekinesis to put Tang Yun in. Then Lin Xian pressed the communicator and called Ding Junyi over.

After finishing everything, Lin Xian said to KIKI: “Your father joined the Dawn Project, but your second aunt became a member of the Advent Crimson World and came here to become an eternal life. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

“It’s a bit strange, but I’m not interested in them.” KIKI turned to look at Lin Xian with a cunning look in her eyes: “But I know what you mean.”

Lin Xian nodded slightly. He, Chen Sixuan and KIKI had already discussed this. If they could successfully escape from Star Abyss No. 5 from Yijin City, his next plan would be to separate from the joint train and transfer to Jinhai, because he had to make many preparations before entering the ocean track. The drive of the train was a very important part. Although upgrading the all-terrain drive would increase energy consumption and reduce speed, it could allow the Infinity to break away from the track restrictions and move more freely.

If he wants to enter the ocean orbit, he may have to consider the surface, underwater, or even flying, because there are only two ways to get to the poles. The Dawn Center takes the Qionggu Strait through several North American continents, and then goes to the poles from the Black Ocean. This requires crossing a strait and an ocean. Lin Xian estimates that if the track is damaged by then, giant ferries will definitely be used for transportation.

Another option is to take the ocean track directly across the Pacific Ocean. The cross-ocean range is wider and the risk is relatively greater. After all, no one knows what the situation is like with the lack of maintenance of the ocean track.

Jinhai is one of the largest production bases of planetary trains in the world. It is also the area of ​​Longguo Institute of Nuclear and Atomic Physics, KIKI’s hometown, and the headquarters of her father Linglong Group is also located here.

Whether it is to upgrade the train drive or to complete the “money-grabbing couple” plan with KIKI, he has to go here.

Soon, Ding Junyi followed. For safety reasons, Dalou and Shuqin, who had rested well, also appeared in the monitoring hall together.

“It just so happens that I went back to study the information of this monitoring center and found some problems.” Ding Junyi acted decisively and walked over quickly. When she heard Lin Xian talking about the mysterious woman who left the cabin, she immediately took a mobile terminal and a set of brain nerve wave detectors in the full-effect medical cabin, while the building behind her was holding the Hell Black Chrysanthemum.

“I brought this with me, just in case.”

“What’s the problem?” Lin Xian asked immediately.

Ding Junyi walked directly to the isolation cabin made by Lin Xian, picked up a multi-frequency biological ray lamp in her hand and swept it over the woman’s head. She then put away the equipment, opened the isolation cabin, motioned for Shu Qin to hold her down, and began to install the brain nerve wave detector on the head of the woman named Tang Yun.

“It was Sasha’s words that gave me inspiration. When I observed the brain wave data of these surviving people, I found that when their brains generated Y gamma brain waves exceeding 200 Hz and 70 μV in the state of excitement and stress, there was a very high-frequency interference phenomenon. This is somewhat different from autonomous hallucinations.”

“I don’t understand.” KIKI pouted and blurted out.

“If this person can think a little more clearly, he will know why,” said Ding Junyi.

“Okay.” Lin Xian nodded: “Then you guys take care of her, I’ll take care of other things first.”

After saying that, Lin Xian called Luo Yang and the other two to the side so as not to disturb Ding Junyi’s work. He was ready to tell Luo Yang his thoughts directly.

……

“Really, Brother Lin, can we really join your team?”

Lin Xian got straight to the point. Luo Yang was immediately surprised when he heard it. He said excitedly and eagerly: “I have been looking for a chance to tell you about this, but I didn’t expect… Oh, that’s great. We are all willing to follow your team, Brother Lin!”

Not only him, but also Luoluo Amin behind him was extremely happy at this moment.

“Captain Lin, we have been discussing this for a long time.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Originally, our three convoys proposed this when we passed Xilin. We should unite together.” After Luo Yang finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the Daying convoy, and a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Lin Xian took a deep breath and patted Luo Yang on the shoulder: “I know that we have all survived the disaster, and we will be stronger together. When we escape the polar night from here, we will combine the trains together, and I will re-equip them by then.”

Infinity now has 16 carriages. If the 11 carriages of the Sun are added, the total number will exceed 27. By then, the length of Infinity will exceed 800 meters and the number of people it can accommodate will increase greatly.

“Okay, okay!” Hearing Lin Xian’s words, Luo Yang’s face was full of excitement. He raised his glasses and immediately said, “Brother Lin, I will tell them the good news now!”

But he stopped just as he raised his foot, and looked at Lin Xian with a twinkling gaze: “By the way, Brother Lin, there is one more…”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xian interrupted him: “This also includes Li Yi and the others. I’ll talk to her directly.”

Lin Xian’s words made Luo Yang’s eyes light up, and he breathed a sigh of relief: “Okay! I understand.”

Although they were temporarily combined with Luo Yang’s team, Li Yi’s team was, after all, an independent team with a large number of people. Lin Xian felt that no matter what the other party thought, it would be better to talk about it face to face to avoid any grudges between partners.

The Sun is a yellow and black armored train with a huge size. It uses the Huanxing 7A electric locomotive, which is more advanced than the Huanxing 10F, and a Linglong small nuclear electric locomotive as the main power of the doomsday train. Except for two power cars, a material car, a military car and a dining car, the remaining 6 cars are all living cars. Compared with the Infinity with too many functional cars, the living area here is larger.

As soon as Lin Xian got on the train, he felt a strong breath of life. Many of the supplies that had just been moved onto the train from the convoy had not yet been completely collected. The members of each carriage were still quietly tidying up their own safe nests, just like when the big-foot convoy had just got on the train.

The first two sections of the living carriage are occupied by young people from Luo Yang’s side. There is a separate carriage for men and women. The style of organization is very distinctive and full of lively atmosphere. Many people in the boys’ carriage are wearing newly acquired power armor and are extremely excited to study and demonstrate it. In the girls’ carriage, more people are helping to organize the obtained supplies and clean up. There are also a few girls studying and researching firearms, giving people a very positive feeling.

After passing these two carriages, the next four carriages are where the original Pao Ben Yuan camp lived. The corridor of the first carriage is very open, and all the living compartments are partitioned and enclosed, which is convenient for personnel to pass quickly, and can also store a lot of supplies.

Just when Lin Xian was wondering why the living area of ​​this living compartment was compressed so small, a small head suddenly popped out from the upper partition of the living cabin in front of him. Under the dim cold light, a pair of big watery eyes looked at him, blinked, and then asked him in a tiny voice.

“Brother, who are you looking for?”

Lin Xian was stunned. The little girl in front of him looked no more than four or five years old. She had short bob hair and a dirty face, but it couldn’t hide her lively and well-behaved face.

At this age, she should have been enjoying a happy childhood, but her little face was full of traces of fleeing. Lin Xian sighed in his heart and smiled at her: “I’m looking for…”

“Shh~”

Before he could finish his words, the little girl suddenly pressed a finger on his mouth gently, and then continued to whisper to him: “Li Yi, mom, mom, say, speak softly~”

“Okay~” Lin Xian smiled and imitated her tone.

“Team Lin!”

At this time, Li Yi’s voice suddenly came. Lin Xian looked up and saw Li Yi holding a repair box with various wrenches, screwdrivers and other tools in it. He also had a big gun on his back. Seeing Lin Xian coming, he couldn’t help but show surprise: “Captain Lin, are you… looking for me?”

“Mother Li Yi~”

Li Yi’s voice attracted a lot of attention in the carriage. In an instant, little heads popped up one after another in the rows of living cabins, looking over here curiously.

Lin Xian nodded, looked at the children in the carriage, and gestured to Li Yi.

Li Yi nodded, quickly put down the repair box, wiped the oil off her hands and shouted to the little girl above Lin Xian’s head:
“Duoduo, it’s time to go to bed.”

“Okay~” The little girl named Duoduo smiled and shrank her neck, secretly glanced at Lin Xian, and then quickly and obediently went back.

Lin Xian came under the train, and Li Yi behind him hurriedly said: “We arranged a separate carriage for the child and placed it in the middle section to make it easier to take care of him. However, this train is much more spacious than our bus, and a lot of sundries have been placed in the empty space, and they haven’t been cleaned up yet. I’m sorry to embarrass you, Captain Lin.” “How is Liang Lei’s injury?” Lin Xian asked.

“Better now.” Li Yi looked at Lin Xian gratefully. “Captain Chen took someone to send Lei Zi to your medical cabin for a re-examination. Everything… is recovering. He has thick skin and flesh, so his ability is recovering relatively quickly.”

Lin Xian nodded, and then went straight to the point and told her about inviting Luo Yang’s team to join.

“Luo Yang and the others have already agreed. I came to you because I hope your team can join us, Infinity.”

Li Yi was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Lin Xian in shock, opened her mouth, and said in disbelief:
“Lin…Captain Lin, are you telling the truth?”

“Are you not very willing?” Lin Xian asked.

“No… no.” Li Yi was surprised and happy. For some reason, tears flashed in her eyes. “Lei Zi, Luo Yang and I have discussed this matter a long time ago, but…”

She looked back at the carriage, then looked at her big belly helplessly: “I’m just worried that I’ll hinder you, Captain Lin…”

Lin Xian looked stern, and said seriously, “I heard that you rescued dozens of survivors along the way?”

Li Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this: “It’s not easy for everyone. If we can help each other, it will give us another chance to survive…”

Lin Xian took a deep breath and said, “It’s my luck to meet a team like yours. If I were a survivor struggling to survive in the apocalypse, I would dream of meeting you. How could I think you are holding me back?”

At the very beginning, Lin Xian had a very clear purpose for adding more manpower to his train.

Loyal and useful.

He believes that this is the character that one must have in order to survive the doomsday.

That is an absolute egoist who can take advantage of anyone.

But as the journey towards dawn approaches, Lin Xian discovers that only those people who sincerely unite as a team, those who have not lost their humanity in the doomsday, who lend a helping hand to their compatriots and jointly resist the disaster, are qualified to cross higher mountains, pass on the torch, and break out of the dawn.

The children in that carriage may not have the ability to fight, and may not be able to provide much help in the doomsday, but aren’t those young hearts what humans ultimately need to protect?
“Captain Lin, I…” Lin Xian’s words made Li Yi at a loss for words for a moment.

Lin Xian said to her directly: “You will join us in the future, and we will protect this big family together.”

When Li Yi heard Lin Xian’s words, she subconsciously pursed her lips, and then immediately covered her mouth. Her eyes were a little wet. She looked at Lin Xian and nodded: “Okay, thank you, Captain Lin.”

“Take good care of Lei Zi and the kids first. The rest of you should get used to the new equipment. We are going to get out of the polar night, so there will be trouble.”

“understood.”

After Lin Xian communicated with Luo Yang and Li Yi, he felt relieved.

If there are no problems, his Infinity will undergo a major upgrade next, not only in terms of weapons, but also in terms of intelligence and drive upgrades.

Looking at the time, it was already past 5 a.m., Lin Xian immediately returned to the Zero Element Center and began to seize the time to continue devouring items.

[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +10, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +5]

[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +15, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +6]

[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +20, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +8]

……

In the monitoring hall, Lin Xian was picking and choosing. As long as he saw something usable, he would not let it go, and turned them all into his own materials and mechanical sources.

After finishing the monitoring hall, Lin Xian directly operated the robotic arm and began to transfer the dead survival capsules. Then he completed the swallowing through the glass curtain wall.

[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +3, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +1]

After a survival capsule completed the swallowing, it turned into brown ash and flew away. In an instant, the people inside, along with a few strands of broken mycelium, fell directly to the bottom of the center of the hive.

Among them were both men and women, almost all of them were over 40 years old, and their bodies had almost all become vegetative. If they were not careful, their internal organs would slip out of their cracked chests, but there was not a trace of blood, which looked extremely strange.

This type of survival capsule can only obtain a few source points, but the advantage is the huge number. It took Lin Xian about six or seven hours to complete several hundred survival capsules, and his own mechanical source points increased by nearly 2000 points. It is definitely a large quantity that can satisfy your needs!
[Current Mechanical Heart Level LV.5 (4340/20000)]

Mechanical phagocytosis: 4 (1760/2000) Increases phagocytosis efficiency

“Sure enough, with a large base and plenty of time, the speed increases really fast. The Devourer is almost at level 5. By then, it will probably only take a few minutes to devour an ordinary car.”

After a busy period, Lin Xian felt that he had gained a lot. This was also the first time he felt the sense of security staying underground.

“If the problems of Dark Invasion and Dark Mark were not difficult to solve, then the dungeon would seem to be a good solution…”

As he thought about it, Lin Xian sighed again, remembering the unknown creature in Underground City No. 9, and quickly shook his head: “Damn, I almost forgot about that thing. The underground city is so stupid.”

At this moment, KIKI’s voice suddenly sounded in the communicator.

“Lin Xian, come here quickly, this woman is awake!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately stopped what he was doing and ran to the other side of the monitoring hall.

At this time, KIKI, Luo Yang, Ding Junyi and others were surrounding the isolation cabin made by Lin Xian.

The woman seemed to have regained some consciousness at this time. She slowly climbed out of the isolation cabin and crawled to the ground. She raised her head and kept looking at the faces of Lin Xian and others. Then she began to panic and shouted nervously:

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me…!!”

As she spoke, her face turned pale, she trembled in pain, her eyes kept rolling, and then she suddenly got up from the ground and knelt on the ground like a madman, with her back raised high towards the crowd as if to flatter them, and she kept shouting

“Don’t kill me, come on, I’m willing to do anything, I can’t stand it anymore, come on, come on, come on!!”

The sudden strange behavior of the woman made Lin Xian and others change their faces immediately, because the hibernation suit she was wearing was actually two pieces of white cloth in front and back, just like a surgical gown, which covered nothing, and she was completely naked inside. She suddenly made this move, with all her private parts sticking out towards everyone. The scene was as ridiculous as it could be!
This made Luo Yang, Luo Luo, Xiao Min and others look at each other in bewilderment. Lou Shuqin also had a strange look on her face. KIKI on this side also frowned, and quickly covered Lin Xian’s eyes with one hand, and immediately used telekinesis with the other hand to wrap him in the hibernation suit on his body, and then grabbed him out of thin air.

“what!!”

The woman named Tang Yun screamed and struggled in the air. Lin Xian noticed that the woman’s skin was pale except for her eyes which were bloodshot and looked very sick.

Ding Junyi looked at this scene calmly with her hands in her pockets. “It should be a stress response formed by long-term mycelium hallucinations, similar to drug addiction. However, it has been confirmed that she is still alive and has not been parasitized by mycelium. It should be some kind of isolation technology.”

“Tang Yun!” KIKI suddenly spoke after controlling her. When the woman heard her name, her whole body seemed to tremble, her rapid breathing began to slow down, and the confusion in her eyes gradually became clear.

She looked at KIKI, her expression gradually changed from panic to confusion, and then her pupils shrank and she began to be surprised.

“You, you, you…you are…yes, yes, that Wen…Wen Qi!?”

KIKI looked indifferent: “It’s me, why are you here?”

Tang Yun stared at KIKI intently, her expression changing constantly, as if she had been thinking for a long time, and as if she had finally found some reason. She glanced at Lin Xian and the others, and then said in a nervous tone
“Now… yes yes yes… when is the world… safe?!”

KIKI said unhappily, “You’ve come at a good time. It’s midnight outside and the monsters are having a party above your head.”

“What!?” Tang Yun exclaimed, seemingly unable to believe it. She looked around fiercely, then looked towards the center of the hive, muttering, “No… No, they said that we won’t wake up until everything is over. It’s just a blink of an eye. Even if we die, we will die in a beautiful dream. Why… Why…”

As she spoke, she looked back at the survival capsule she had come out of, and immediately struggled excitedly: “No, I shouldn’t wake up, no!”

Lin Xian and KIKI looked at each other. KIKI understood what Lin Xian meant and said to Tang Yun

“Hey, answer my question, why are you here?”

Tang Yun came back to her senses and realized that she was caught in the air by a strange force. The people around her were all wearing armor and carrying guns, looking like they were not easy to mess with.

She finally reacted and nervously shouted to KIKI: “Wen Qi, Wen Qi, I am your aunt, save me, save me, don’t let them kill me!”

KIKI let go of her hand, and Tang Yun fell directly to the ground, but she couldn’t stand steadily and sat down on the ground with a thump.

“Wen Qi…Wen Qi, please save me. I am your aunt. Have you forgotten?”

At this moment, she was completely dominated by fear and panic. She had no time to care about her body being exposed. She rolled and crawled towards KIKI.
hum!
Lin Xian raised his hand and caught the black gun that flew from a distance. He then pointed the tip of the gun at Tang Yun’s face, blocking her from moving forward.

“If you ask us to ask for the third time, I won’t ask again.” Lin Xian said with a cold face.
