Chapter 107
Lin Xian was fully armed with a backpack on his back, and he and Kiki stepped onto the dark platform again. Perhaps because it was night, even the tunnels inside the underground city, hundreds of meters deep, sent out a bone-chilling cold.
The underground city's mobile terminal and the "Infinite's" response system were successfully connected. Ding Junyi could use the transponder to communicate directly with Lin Xian using the underground city's information terminal. Once they entered the elevator, they indeed found they could connect to the information on the vehicle.
"The entire underground city from floors 20-60 is the main living and working area. Floors 60-70 are industrial production, research, and storage areas. Downward, floors 70-80 are for third-class citizens, which also has the largest population. The 89th floor is the permanent storage layer used by the underground city for civilization storage. It mainly stores various species fossils, plant seeds, gene cryobanks, and various artworks. Usually, very few people work there, and there are no materials with survival value there, so after the infection occurred, there shouldn't have been many people heading to that floor. However, the space there is very vast, so you must also be careful."
In the elevator, Ding Junyi introduced it in a calm voice.
"Wow, 40 floors used to house the fewest first and second-class citizens, and 10 floors used to house the most third-class citizens, that's really perverted..." Kiki clicked her tongue and complained.
Lin Xian looked at her. "If you came, you definitely wouldn't have to live below the 60th floor."
Kiki's tone was full of disdain. "I don't like it here; I can't breathe. My Carriage No. 2 is more comfortable. When the time comes, we'll rush out to the Parma Grasslands, the Romu Desert, the Pacific Ocean... anyway, dying any way is better than dying here."
"It's just a pity; I thought we could find lots of materials, lots of weapons, lots of equipment..."
Lin Xian, however, didn't care. "If I can get that Gemini 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive, I'll already be very satisfied, not to mention there are two research carriages on it. Won't our planting base be realized immediately? When the time comes, I'll expand the air and water circulation systems in that carriage, and our train won't be any worse than an intercontinental-class one."
"That's true too~"
With the polar night approaching, hundreds of thousands of people in the underground city fallen, and unknown underground creatures, under these prerequisites, Lin Xian would already be thanking heaven and earth to have such a harvest. How could he still covet searching the entire underground city? Even if he had that ambition, he didn't have that many lives.
What's more, he hadn't gotten anything yet.
Except for three women added to the vehicle, and a potted plant...
Woo~
The No. 3 freight elevator, with a dull sound and various advertising music, slowly arrived at the 89th floor, which was already offline in the system.
Shhh~
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Lin Xian and Kiki, one on the left and one on the right, held their guns, looking alertly toward the elevator entrance.
The light inside the elevator projected onto the pitch-black ground outside as the doors opened. The two scanned their eyes and found that outside was an incredibly pitch-black space, where one could vaguely see many large shelves displayed high up.
Kiki operated the mobile terminal, navigating the route to the track safety passage.
"It's very empty here; let's be careful."
The huge space gave Lin Xian a great sense of insecurity. Apart from the light spilled by the elevator, the space outside was completely silent.
"Let's go."
Patter~
One foot stepped out, and in the empty room, it was like a pebble falling into a quiet lake, making one's heart tighten.
Floor 89; at this moment, the two were almost at a distance of 450 meters underground, and a huge sense of oppression kept spreading from the bottom of their hearts.
Lin Xian walked in front of Kiki. He turned on the tactical flashlight set at his ear and observed the surroundings.
He found that the floor height of this layer was much higher than the 52nd floor they had just visited. Looking up, there was at least a distance of 10 meters to the ceiling, and these tall shelves displayed in the darkness gave one a feeling of being as towering as a mountain.
Various insect specimens were neatly placed on the shelves, and the passage was straight and long, as if one couldn't see the end at a glance.
"This is G-Zone 117 passage; we need to turn right first and go down the passage near the gene cryobank."
Kiki's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like thunder in this quiet space.
Lin Xian walked briskly and suddenly stopped his steps.
"Did you hear any sound?"
Hearing Lin Xian's words, Kiki immediately shrank her neck and looked around vigilantly. "No... no?"
The two stood quietly for a few seconds; apart from their own breathing, they really didn't hear any other sound. "Don't scare me..."
Lin Xian made a shushing gesture to her and then walked into the darkness again.
He quietly took out the GK03 electric knife and slung the automatic rifle behind his back. In this quiet space, if they encountered danger, using Flashback or Electric Surge to deal with the situation might be much better than firing a gun.
Otherwise, if the noise was too loud and attracted a zombie tide, they wouldn't even be able to find a direction to escape in this place.
Turning out of the G117 passage, the two arrived at a shelf area storing fossils. Looking at it, it was all kinds of skeleton shadows.
Kiki followed behind. The longer she walked in this empty place, the more her heart felt hair-raising, so she said in a low voice, "Lin Xian, talk to me; this place is so scary."
"Talk about what?"
"Anything is fine, like after I passed out, did you rescue me, or give me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or something?"
"You're in the mood to chat about this now?" Lin Xian was somewhat speechless.
"I'm scared..."
Kiki hissed and walked quickly behind Lin Xian. "Or like, are you going to let a lot of people on the vehicle later? Does our train need to implant intelligent driving? If we reach the sea and the track is broken, and we can't fly, are we going to modify it into a sea train or a submarine?"
!
Lin Xian: "The more people, the better, of course. One more person means one more way to live."
"Then are you going to take all three people from today?"
"I don't have that plan. We aren't a relief train, and these scientists don't seem to need to flee with us; they are still thinking about finding the New Federation government to defect to."
"Pfft~ Let them go then. Maybe it's not even as safe as our Infinite."
"What I'm more worried about now is the problem of the high-altitude corridor." Lin Xian said while walking: "That Director Ding said that when the underground city evacuated, many aircraft and airships retreated together, but these aerial units were all finished, which means the things in the sky are no less than the monsters on the ground, and maybe even more terrifying. Since the Apocalypse, all kinds of aerospace and satellite equipment have had bad luck. What's in the sky might not just be that big jellyfish."
Lin Xian thought of the huge floating giant corpse he saw in Kiki's degeneration illusion, and his heart still trembled faintly.
The air wasn't necessarily safer than the ground. Fleeing all the way here, if it weren't for the thick armor of the "Infinite," who knows how many times the people on this vehicle would have died.
After walking a long distance, the surroundings started to become colder and colder. Turning out of the fossil area, the two arrived at a larger area. On the display shelves were glass containers with various numbers, all containing dried and stored plant seeds.
"Lin Xian, look, so many seeds."
Kiki held the flashlight and looked all the way over, her eyes shining with surprise: "Don't you want to grow vegetables on the train? Do you want to take some to cultivate?"
Lin Xian scanned it and didn't hesitate: "Yes, since we're here, let's take some along the way."
Excellent breeding seeds aren't easy to find. Now that the black rain is invading, plants in the natural world have suffered a devastating disaster. Many vegetables and fruits can't be found at all, and Lin Xian couldn't possibly look for them on the road.
Since there were ready-made ones in front of him, he would just take some along the way; it wouldn't take up much space anyway.
So he took off the backpack on his body and started picking some suitable seeds to put inside.
Creak... woo
Just as the two were collecting seeds along the way, a strange sound rang out, like the sound of a wooden stick being dragged on the ground.
The two immediately stopped their steps and listened intently.
This time, Lin Xian was certain he hadn't heard wrong.
