Chapter 106

Lin Xian didn't dare to be careless at all. He led the others out of the elevator and used a flashlight to scout the path, soon arriving at the location of the Infinite.

The cockpit door opened, and after the dangerous journey just now, the group of six finally returned to the train.

Clang~

As the heavy cockpit door closed, Lin Xian turned on the lights inside the vehicle, and a long-lost sense of security washed over them.

After getting on the vehicle, Lin Xian brought Zhao Yan, Xu Wen, and the others to an empty area in Carriage No. 1. The group was covered in sweat, already collapsed on the floor, gasping for air.

"Are you all okay?"

Seeing Lin Xian return, Chen Sixuan and Shasha immediately breathed a sigh of relief and ran over with concern.

"One died." Lin Xian caught his breath and said softly.

Chen Sixuan covered her mouth. She looked at Zhao Yan and Xu Wen, who were paralyzed on the floor in fear, and then immediately focused her attention on Ding Junyi.

"Is she the person who contacted us?"

"Ding Junyi." Ding Junyi looked at Chen Sixuan and introduced herself directly.

"Are we saved?"

Zhao Yan finally regained a bit of her senses from the terror. She looked at the train carriage while panting.

"You won't die for now."

"Chen Laoshi." Lin Xian's gaze swept over Zhao Yan and Xu Wen, and he called out to Chen Sixuan, "Get them something to eat first; we'll rest for a while."

"Ah! Really? Thank you so much!!!" Hearing that Lin Xian was going to give them food, Zhao Yan immediately recovered from the fear just now. The instinct for survival made her realize that she was almost starving to death; there was no time left to mourn for Professor Han.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Lin..."

"Wuwuwu... Teacher Zhao, we're saved!"

Xu Wen was both afraid and happy at this moment. After experiencing such a long period of despair, these people's spirits had collapsed countless times.

Now that they had arrived on the Infinite, which was comparable to a fortress safe house, and heard that Lin Xian was going to get food for them, they couldn't control their excitement anymore, and both of them started crying again.

On the contrary, Ding Junyi, the deputy director of the Biological Research Department, only looked tense, her eyes observing Lin Xian's teammates and the environment inside the vehicle, not knowing what she was thinking.

Lin Xian didn't pay them any mind. Seeing Da Lou bring back the culture pod, he told him to put it on the table.

"Wow, what is this? A flower?"

Shasha, seeing the glass culture pod her brother brought back, ran over in surprise.

"What was it called again..." Kiki scratched her head.

"No. 1 Blood Calamity Plant. If you like, you can also call it Hell Black Chrysanthemum..." Ding Junyi's expression was cold as she said to Kiki, "It's not a formal name; it's just what we all call it."

"Hell Black Chrysanthemum, sounds very unusual." Chen Sixuan frowned as she looked at the black flower stamen, her face full of astonishment. In her eyes, this strange flower had a peculiar beauty, especially the red part in the middle, which gave one a sense of eerie feeling.

"This thing..." Lin Xian looked at it. "Put it away for now. Later, the Federation Phoenix Society should have relevant information, and we'll see how to deal with it then."

Without understanding it, Lin Xian decided not to increase his curiosity. If it really was an item related to supernatural abilities, it might truly be worth a lot.

Night fell, and the blizzard intensified.

On the vast southern plains of Daluo Mountain, the cold wind howled, and the white snow continuously buried abandoned cars and thousands of corpses stretching for tens of kilometers under thick snow.

Zombies wandering on the snowfield stepped on the knee-deep snow, making creaking sounds. Many zombies had already been completely frozen, turning into dark, humanoid sculptures.

On the platform of the 65th-floor freight terminal of the deathly silent Underground City No. 9, the "Infinite" was parked quietly. The lights inside the vehicle carried warmth, continuously driving away everyone's fear.

After resting for about an hour and eating a little something, Zhao Yan and Xu Wen's emotions had finally stabilized a bit.

Lin Xian didn't have time to care about them; instead, he was at the information center in Carriage No. 2, studying the internal situation of the underground city with Kiki.

Because Ding Junyi was more familiar with the internal situation, Lin Xian also called her over. "In this GF4 platform, there are indeed two more carriages. Judging by the paint, they should be assets of the former Federation." Kiki turned on the monitor and adjusted it to Platform 4 on the ground.

Lin Xian looked at those two carriages and immediately felt that this trip hadn't been in vain.

And Ding Junyi hadn't lied. From this point of view, his decision to risk entering for rescue could be considered successful for now.

"After we go up, we will redeploy the carriages on this platform, and then set off for Yubei City."

"Then what is our next step?" Kiki kept searching for usable information inside the underground city, but because most areas had lost contact, only a very small number of areas were still connected to the subsystem.

"Of course, it's to get that Gemini 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive. It's already dark, and human anomalies like that might be everywhere, so we'll prioritize getting that done. As for the rest, we'll see how things go."

"Then how do we get down?"

Kiki opened the schematic of the underground city and was studying it constantly.

Ding Junyi walked up at this moment and said, "If you want to go down, there are two plans. The first is to drive the train directly down, which is the fastest, but if there is a broken track or other blockages, it won't work. The second is to take the elevator to the 89th floor and then walk down the stairs. However, if the track is broken, even if you find that electric locomotive, it will be of no use."

"That's not necessarily true."

Kiki stood up with a spirited look and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder. "We have a secret weapon."

Ding Junyi looked at Lin Xian with a surprised expression and didn't speak.

!

Lin Xian pointed at the structure map of the underground city and pondered.

"It's very simple. We'll take the elevator to the 89th floor first, and then enter the tunnel through this safety passage, following the tunnel all the way down to the platform on the 95th floor, won't we?"

Currently, it could be confirmed that the track section from the 65th floor to the 89th floor was still usable, so Lin Xian thought about exploring downward along the track from the 89th floor. If the track was damaged or something, he and Kiki could directly solve it. And he didn't plan to drive the "Infinite" down, because if it couldn't stop at the platform, it meant the train would have to stop on a track slope of 59.5‰. Not only was there a risk, but driving it down would also make quite a bit of noise. If the brakes failed, everyone would be buried.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, he first had to figure out the situation of the track below and confirm the condition of the target locomotive. In a situation where the conditions below were unknown, Lin Xian didn't want to rashly drive the entire train to the bottom floor.

If he could confirm that the track was fine, then he and Kiki would directly operate that Gemini 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive to drive it up, connect it to the "Infinite," and leave the underground city together.

"Eh, that works!" Kiki agreed.

"Then let's do that."

Without delay, Lin Xian decided to set off immediately. "Da Lou, you stay on the vehicle."

"Brother Xian, let me go with you." Da Lou was a bit surprised; why not take him at such a dangerous moment?

Lin Xian shook his head directly. "You and Shasha protect the vehicle well."

There were three strangers on the vehicle, plus those eerie human anomalies in this underground city. Lin Xian was somewhat uneasy, and he felt it would be more reliable to leave Da Lou, a supernatural user, behind.

Moreover, his and Kiki's supernatural abilities were more flexible, whether it was encountering a zombie tide or solving track problems, they could be of use.

"Da Lou, watch over them."

Da Lou understood Lin Xian's meaning upon hearing this and nodded. "Don't worry, Brother Xian, leave it to me here."

Lin Xian was just about to set off when he saw Ding Junyi walk up to him.

"If you follow your plan, I can navigate for you."

Ding Junyi pointed to the mobile terminal in Kiki's hand. "The walkie-talkie won't work; you can use the information transmission of the underground city subsystem to communicate."

"OK."

Lin Xian looked at her deeply and didn't refuse. He knew this woman could be of help.

Afterward, Lin Xian and Kiki put on their gas masks, and at the same time, he also took the Geiger counter and set off again into the darkness.
