Chapter 164: Hell Black Chrysanthemum (Seeking monthly votes!)

~8 min read 1,458 words

Lin Xian's gaze swept over Hearing Shu Qin's convoy. He was familiar with most of the people inside. He had seen many of them at the Quanguan Bonfire Mutual Aid Association before, but along the way, the number of people had also decreased a lot.

Survivor convoys were basically groups of refugees combined in twos and threes. At first, everyone was not familiar with each other, but after facing many life-and-death dilemmas and a long time, people naturally became familiar with each other.

Under such a common crisis of life and death, huddling together for warmth became the only choice. However, at the same time, when facing personal life and death, not everyone had the spirit of sacrifice like the Iron Guard Brigade.

Lin Xian sank into deep thought. Merging so many people would inevitably bring greater survival pressure to the team, but it would also erupt with stronger combat effectiveness. This depended on the core leader of the team, and also on whether the people inside the team could work together.

He could see that Hearing Shu Qin, as the leader of the convoy, protected the convoy members like a parent, but the Infinite faced many crises along the way, and he couldn't take care of every one of them.

"I welcome everyone to join, but there are some things I must say first. The train is a closed space, unlike a car which is flexible. Although the sense of security will be higher, once a problem occurs, it will trigger a series of troubles."

"I know that every car of yours is a family or relatively familiar friends, but once you join the Infinite, everyone is a whole. So I don't like small groups on the train or those who don't consider others. If there are such people, I will drive them off the train directly, or you can consider it well now. After all, once you get on the train, many of our vehicles will be abandoned. There will be no turning back then."

Lin Xian's words made Chen Sixuan and others show approving eyes.

People can be added to the train, which Lin Xian can decide. However, the Infinite has relied on the concerted cooperation of all team members until now.

Once there are many people, a small society will be formed. The train is like a moving city. If the team loses its previous closeness, facing danger will be a disaster.

Hearing Shu Qin nodded when she heard this, and naturally agreed. Her gaze swept over the crowd behind her: "Team Lin is asking for your opinions. If you want to join, raise your hands yourself."

She understood Lin Xian's intention. Joining a team is equivalent to handing your life to others to make choices. It is a matter of personal life and death. Team merger is not her own words. The decision-making power is still in everyone's own hands.

"I agree, I want to follow Sister Hearing Shu Qin and join the Infinite!" A girl who looked extroverted raised her hand first.

Lin Xian looked at her, and the girl was flustered and added: "I... I am called Miao Lu, everyone calls me Lulu. I am responsible for logistics and diet in the convoy, and I also know some health care."

"I also agree!"

The short young man who was responsible for opening the door just now also said loudly: "Lv Chang, I don't know anything, but I run fast and shoot accurately."

"And me!"

"My name is He Fang."

"Zou Yunyao"

"Zhou Yixuan!"

"Our Zhong Jiahao family also agrees!"

"Me too!"

Everyone began to respond in unison. Lin Xian listened to everyone's introduction seriously, and felt a little more bottom in his heart.

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian, and a look of joy appeared in her eyes.

From the first contact with Lin Xian, the cold and decisive display, to the many crises and disasters experienced along the way, she could clearly feel that Lin Xian's survival philosophy under the apocalypse was constantly changing.

At first, he was vigilant about getting on and off the car, but now he is willing to accept a team of thirty people to join. This is enough to show that Lin Xian's temperament has become much stronger.

"Lin Xian." Chen Sixuan looked at the environment around her and said: "What are our plans now?"

"Leave the city first."

Lin Xian said decisively: "Originally, I wanted to maintain the train in Jiazhou City, but looking at the current situation, we can only leave the city as soon as possible and get rid of these crows first."

Originally, he saw that Jiazhou City was sunny, and he was ready to upgrade the Infinite well here. In addition to scanning the robot at the Yubei Airport, he also obtained some useful accessory blueprints.

For example, the airport's automatic explosion-proof door, the sentry monitoring system of the tractor, the lifting platform base of the maintenance workshop, etc. With these things, he could design a carriage specifically for the weapon station, spend time manufacturing an 1130 close-in defense gun, and also build an engineering robot to help with precise welding and maintenance of the ammunition supply chain, etc. However, these assumptions had to be disrupted with the appearance of the sky-filling crows. Even the huge monsters like the Silver Star and Longshan No. 1 did not stay here. It is conceivable that if those crows appear after nightfall, it might be more troublesome.

So Lin Xian planned to drag away the two trains that Hearing Shu Qin found in this maintenance workshop directly, escape the city first, and get out of danger before talking.

"Then we will also drive to follow your track!" Hearing Shu Qin said.

Lin Xian nodded. Temporarily, he could only leave Jiazhou City first. There was only one carriage on the train that could be used to load cars, and the other two trains were passenger and cargo types. So many people could not abandon their own vehicles and run away on the Infinite.

"Everyone get ready, we will set off in 30 minutes."

Lin Xian arranged immediately.

"Okay." Everyone responded in unison.

The tense atmosphere began to spread. Lin Xian immediately began to unload the hoisted maintenance locomotive and mounted it to the back of the Infinite, which was convenient for swallowing and modifying the train later.

After doing all this, Lin Xian returned to the train. At this moment, Director Ding called him to Carriage 3 in the walkie-talkie.

"What's wrong?"

"Two problems, I need to synchronize with you."

!

Ding Junyi was burying her head in the microscope to observe at this moment, and said to Lin Xian without looking back: "This kind of parasite has obvious photophobia, which is consistent with the characteristics of night strange bodies, and has no visual system."

"If it leaves the crow carrier and is exposed to sunlight, the activity will weaken rapidly."

"You mean that if these corpse crows are in the night, the threat will be greater." Lin Xian knew he had guessed right.

"Yes, if in the night, this kind of black nematode uses crows as a carrier to attack survivor convoys, and then falls off onto the vehicles, it will bite through the survivors' vehicles at a very fast speed and swallow the people together."

Lin Xian frowned when he heard this: "Can swallow and wear through anything?"

"From the traces caused to the windshield, the swallowing power is relatively strong. Our train's high-strength alloy should be slower, but if there are too many of these bugs, it will definitely cause huge hidden dangers to us."

"Unexpectedly so troublesome."

"There is also good news." Ding Junyi said calmly: "In addition to not having vision and smell and only being able to capture prey through air vibration, that is, sound, I also discovered its second weakness just now."

"What weakness?"

"Fire."

Ding Junyi turned her head to look at him: "Afraid of light and fire, I cut off a section for fission experiments and found that there is some kind of combustible substance in its body. If it is ignited, it may cause a deflagration phenomenon."

When Lin Xian heard this, he immediately understood: "This is better than using a gun."

"What is the second problem?" Lin Xian continued to ask.

Ding Junyi raised her hand and pointed to the right, where a plant culture cabin was placed, and the Hell Black Chrysanthemum was radiating deep red light.

"I have been paying attention to the growth of the No. 1 Blood Calamity Disaster Plant. In a short time, this flower has undergone two changes."

"Once after we left the No. 9 underground city."

"Once last night."
