Chapter 13

~8 min read 1,600 words

Because they were still in the main city area, Lin Lin Xian deliberately slowed down the train's speed. The city was in chaos, and he was worried that the railway wouldn't be clear, while also avoiding too much commotion caused by excessive noise.

Merging from the light rail line into the Jiang Yu trunk line, the roads on both sides gradually became open. Occasionally, there were zombies and livestock wandering between the tracks, and he directly crushed them.

Soon, the turnouts ahead began to increase, and a wide area appeared. The branch tracks were full of various freight trains.

Among them, there were a few container special trains, but without exception, the container doors had all been opened, and all kinds of supplies had already been looted by survivors, leaving only paper box packaging and plastic bags scattered all over the ground.

Besides that, the rest were basically mixed trains, including less-than-truckload, flatbed trucks, oil tanks, etc., mixed together. But it looked like they hadn't been spared either, and even a few carriages were overturned on the tracks...

The branch line connected to a distant loading platform and hoisting workshop. It looked like the railway freight loading center in Jiang City. This kind of thing was generally set up before the passenger station in the city. Lin Lin Xian parked the Infinite at the complex railway station entrance, observed the route, and then opened the cabin door to come to the branch track turnout machine, put his hand on it, and drove the motor!

Squeak!

The turnout was changed by him. Afterward, he returned to the train, drove the "Infinite" into the loading branch track, and stopped in front of a platform marked No. 4 loading platform.

"Hold the walkie-talkie well. Even if it's me, do not open the cabin door, because I will open it myself."

Lin Lin Xian put on his backpack, grabbed his short blade, and instructed Chen Chen Sixuan, "As long as you don't open the door, no one can do anything to you."

Chen Chen Sixuan nodded. She now knew that Lin Lin Xian's supernatural ability could operate the train, so she obediently remembered Lin Lin Xian's instructions.

"Then... be careful." She also responded with concern.

Ssh~, the gate cabin door of the driver's cabin opened. The "Infinite" had already had its other living carriage doors welded shut and reinforced with steel plates, except for the gate of the driver's cabin and the tailboard of Carriage No. 3. People staying inside, as long as they didn't encounter the strange white giant monster from last night, ordinary people or zombies couldn't threaten their safety at all.

Lin Lin Xian got off the train and closed the cabin door. Just as he landed on the tracks, a biting cold wind blew toward his face.

He looked at the dazzling sun in the sky and immediately felt that this strange climate was really damn annoying.

After the speed attribute increased, Lin Lin Xian's movements became much more agile. He held his short blade, crossed a few tracks, and looked toward the head and tail of the train every time he crossed a train to find a suitable locomotive.

His plan was to take advantage of the daylight to get the electric locomotive issue settled first. If he couldn't get it, then he would look for some supplies here and then drive to the Jiang City main station a few kilometers away to look again.

Lin Lin Xian scanned the carriages one by one until he walked to the head of the container special train. Only then did he see the traction vehicle was a silver Huanxing 7f electric locomotive, and his eyes immediately lit up.

The Huanxing 7f electric locomotive was 60 meters long, with a silver base tone matched with blue lines. The streamlined body looked very sci-fi and was known as the "Huanxing Hercules," with a power of up to 58,800 kilowatts. It was a standard Huanxing railway freight locomotive.

This big guy had to be connected to the railway power grid to move. The apocalypse came, and this industrial giant had no value at all, only able to lie on the tracks and eat dust. After all, there was no fuel or water on it, and it looked huge but the space inside was small, so few people would pay attention to this guy.

The Huanxing 7f was twice as long as the Giant Whale 03e's heavy gas turbine and was a veritable electric monster. Its internal structure was precise. Besides the drive motor, it also had advanced kinetic energy recovery and energy storage equipment. Using it as a temporary battery for the "Infinite" was definitely an excellent choice.

"It's you."

Lin Lin Xian reached out and touched it, and the Mechanical Heart began to scan and drive, discovering that the overall condition of this electric locomotive was good and it was still very new.

This time he picked up a treasure.

Because of his special supernatural ability, things that survivors completely didn't look at were treasures in his eyes.

Just as Lin Lin Xian was about to start this big guy to release the carriage connection, a intermittent sound suddenly came from behind.

He immediately turned around cautiously. The sound came from a warehouse on the platform.

So Lin Lin Xian crouched down, drilled through the connection gap of a freight carriage on the inner track, and followed the sound to find it. He discovered that the sound came from inside a warehouse marked No. 14.

Thump thump thump~ thump thump thump~

A series of knocking sounds, very consistent, didn't sound like those zombies without any consciousness.

Lin Lin Xian climbed onto the platform and then approached one by one from the inside. At this time, the knocking sound became louder and louder, and he faintly heard someone shouting.

"Help! Is there anyone!!"

The voice was muffled, seemingly blocked by some soundproof facility.

Lin Lin Xian came to the door of Warehouse No. 14, slowly explored his gaze from the half-covered door, and only then discovered that this warehouse was a cold-chain warehouse. Inside, there were two large white cold storage rooms, but because Jiang City had been without electricity for a long time, the warehouse was filled with an indescribable rotting smell. Lin Lin Xian smelled it and almost vomited the canned meat he had just eaten. After he walked in, he finally saw that inside the isolation window of one of the large cold storage rooms, there were two women, one of whom was knocking on the door frantically.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, her face flushed red, while the other was an old lady in her fifties or sixties, who was sitting on the ground, looking like she had more air going out than coming in.

As soon as Lin Lin Xian walked in, the woman immediately saw him and immediately exclaimed,

"Please, help me open the door; my mother is about to die!!"

Who knew that Lin Lin Xian, upon hearing this sentence, had his gaze tighten. He secretly thought it was bad and immediately jumped forward.

Just in an instant, a gunshot rang out behind him.

Bang!

There was an ambush!

He almost instantly saw through the other party's scheme. A woman being locked in a cold storage room and shouting was simply too abrupt.

Her shouting aimlessly like this would only attract zombies; it was clearly to deliberately attract his attention.

Bang bang bang! One shot missed, and another burst of bullets followed.

Lin Lin Xian didn't have the slightest pause from beginning to end. He reacted extremely quickly, directly rushed into another cold storage room door, and then closed the door behind him.

!

Bang bang, the bullets hit the cold storage room door, sparks flying.

"Damn, this kid is so fast!"

"Don't let him run."

"This idiot drilled into the cold storage room, haha..."

At this time, two men walked over quickly, each holding a weapon, one long and one short.

The leader looked to be in his early forties, with a gloomy expression and a big tattoo on his neck. He rushed over and kicked the cold storage room door, only to discover that the cold storage room door was locked.

"Eh, strange!"

Another slightly thin one looked at Lin Lin Xian, who was alert inside, through the window, and also walked to the door and lifted the bolt, discovering it didn't move at all.

"Why can't this broken door be opened!"

Large cold storage room doors were specially designed. To avoid low temperatures extending along the metal handle to the outside and forming condensed water and then freezing, causing the door handle to be inoperable, the door handle could only be opened from the outside. But for safety, an alarm button would be set inside.

But strangely, after Lin Lin Xian went in, the door couldn't be opened from the outside.

"Damn it."

The leader immediately raised his gun and fired two shots at the probe window, emitting a huge echo in the warehouse. But he didn't know that the probe window was 200 millimeters thick. For the sake of insulation, the entire cold storage room was no less than a heavy fortress.

"Mom!"

At this time, the man shouted.

Then the door of the No. 1 cold storage room opened, and the woman who had just pretended to ask for help and the old lady walked out one after another. Several people surrounded Lin Lin Xian, looking unkind.

"This kid is quite clever..."
