Chapter 179

~8 min read 1,460 words

Strange events occurred frequently, and Lin Xian's heart was filled with thick unease.

The preparation center in his hand lit up. Lin Xian looked at the material conversion progress inside. The materials needed for the 1130 were basically all there.

"Get one built quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully."

"Lin Xian."

As soon as he walked into Carriage No. 2, Kiki's voice came. At this time, Chen Sixuan and Shasha were all gathered in front of the information center, looking at Kiki's drone screen.

"Come and see." Chen Sixuan also called Lin Xian.

He walked over and found that the drone was flying toward the town in the distance of the platform at this time. What was strange was that under the night sky, there were faint lights in many houses in the town, as if they were lit by gas lamps or candles.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian frowned.

"Are there so many people living in this town?"

"Strange." Kiki floated in the air on the stool, constantly zooming in on the drone's distance. However, because the distance was far, she could only see the outlines of some buildings: "If they are survivors, who would light lamps like this?"

Lin Xian also understood Kiki's meaning in seconds. These lights looked as if it were before the doomsday, the town had a power outage, and the residents were all lighting candlelight.

Simply put, it didn't look like it had encountered doomsday at all...

"This town is so strange. Not only are there people, but the monsters in the dark night can't get in. Could there be some special ability user?" Kiki rested her chin on her hand, thinking.

"If there's such an ability, wouldn't it be invincible?" Shasha widened her eyes on the side, spreading her hands wide, and said exaggeratedly: "One person could protect everyone."

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian: "Lin Xian, what do you think?"

Lin Xian shook his head and had no thoughts at this time: "I don't know either. But looking at the situation, we are safe for the time being."

"Little girl, just now I let you scout the road ahead, how was it?"

"Just a train of chemical tank cars. We'll just move it away, and the road conditions ahead are also fine."

"Good."

"Then do we want to go to the town to see?"

"No need."

Lin Xian looked at the dark, deserted platform outside the train window and the outline of the town in the distance, and said: "Even if we go, wait until daytime. Let's first move the tank car away to keep the train path from being blocked, and then see the situation tonight. Someone deliberately let us turn into this branch line, and I'm also worried there might be trouble. Anyway, let's stay put for now and borrow this place to avoid the wind of the dark night."

Chen Sixuan and Kiki nodded at the same time. Lin Xian's mind was still very cautious. In this strange situation, rashly getting off the train to explore the town was indeed not a wise decision.

*Ssh~*

The cockpit cabin door opened. Lin Xian and Kiki got off the train one after another. Gao Ta and Lu Xingchen also got off at this time to be responsible for vigilance by the train.

The Rain Town train platform was a large chemical freight platform. On one side of the platform, there was also an enclosed warehouse. The platform, shrouded in moonlight and pitch black, was covered in a layer of clear radiance, and everything was silent.

Lin Xian was agile, quickly arriving at the freight train head along the tracks. The Mechanical Heart started, beginning to cover the entire train.

Soon, the scan was complete. *Woo~*

He started to start this freight tank car. Kiki helped him change the switch. Then, under the illumination of the Infinity's lights, Lin Xian quickly moved the freight tank car away from the tracks, opening the track path for the Infinity.

*Chirp, chirp~*

There were low chirps of insects all around. He was anxious and extremely vigilant, but no accidents happened as he imagined, and he completed the car-moving work very smoothly.

After getting everything done, he didn't hesitate and directly let everyone board the train.

Lin Xian was about to step onto the Infinity's cockpit when he suddenly stopped, turned around to look at the empty, deserted, pitch-black platform behind him, and inexplicably felt a chill on his back.

"What's wrong?" Chen Sixuan asked in a low voice.

Lin Xian turned back, didn't speak, and directly got on the train.

*Ssh~*

The cockpit door closed, and everyone had a sense of safety.

But Lin Xian didn't know why. Just now, he always had a feeling as if something was watching them.

"I'll keep watch tonight. Teacher Chen, little girl, you all sleep for a while. I and Hearing Shu Qin will keep watch." Lin Xian called everyone over and began to arrange. "I won't sleep." Kiki said at this time: "I'm in high spirits. Aren't you going to assemble the 1130 close-in weapon system and the engineering robot tonight? I can just help you debug the system."

Lin Xian looked at her and nodded.

"Fine."

At this time, Lin Xian saw Shasha's expression was a bit wrong, so he asked: "Shasha, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother Lin~" Shasha frowned slightly: "I feel a bit terrified here, my heart is fuzzy."

"Me too..."

Chen Sixuan also said in a deep voice: "Although those monsters are gone, this town always gives me an uncomfortable feeling."

"So we'll just wait on the train until dawn." Lin Xian said directly: "I'll seal the train, and all carriage doors can only be opened by me. You all rest first."

Although Lin Xian was also full of doubts at this time, as the team leader, he didn't want to deliberately convey some negative unease. After the explanation, everyone was slightly relieved. Those who should rest went to rest, and those who should keep watch began to keep watch.

"Lin Xian."

!

After everyone left, Chen Sixuan stood at the door of the bedroom cabin in Carriage No. 1 and said to Lin Xian: "Be careful."

Lin Xian nodded: "Hmm, I know."

He opened the Isomorphic Rubik's Cube at this time and scanned the train body again.

【Beep! Conducting reflection detection using non-mechanical power.】

【Detection successful, no fear risk inside the train, dark-side power invasion has been shielded.】

Then he picked up the Soul-Returning Value Detector again, *click*, pressed the detector button.

【0】

"Inside and outside the train, it seems there's no abnormality."

Lin Xian's gaze stirred. He didn't know why, but clearly he had obtained a good result, yet he always felt some unease in his heart.

"Can it shield eerie entities... ability users?"

"Or..."

Thinking in his heart, he suddenly looked at the Isomorphic Rubik's Cube he had just used, and his brows frowned: "Could it be some kind of taboo object?"

Lin Xian could only think of these two situations. And after thinking of this point, he was actually more inclined to the latter.

If it were a survivor possessing such an ability, that would simply be invincible, even more heaven-defying than his Mechanical Heart.

"If it's a taboo object..."

Lin Xian had some thoughts in his heart at this time. The train already had an artifact like the Isomorphic Rubik's Cube that could shield the power of dark infection, which was already heaven-defying. If there were something that could isolate eerie entities, wouldn't the major survivor organizations in the world be fighting over it?

"Forget it, wait until tomorrow to see."

Lin Xian connected the train's transponder system to the communicator, held it in his hand, and then checked the carriages all the way to the rear carriage.

Many people in the living carriage were already fast asleep. Hearing Shu Qin led Lv Chang and several skilled people, all turning off the lights and keeping watch outside the corridor.

Kiki followed Lin Xian into Carriage No. 11. There were three cars and one motorcycle parked here, which were prepared for him to use for mobile exploration later. And Carriage No. 12 was completely empty at this time. Lin Xian prepared to build an 1130 close-in weapon system here, turning this carriage into a weapon station carriage.

Arriving at Carriage No. 12, it was brightly lit and empty. Kiki held a mobile computer and said to Lin Xian: "Lin Xian, you can build a Gatling gun now, why don't you build a few more? Wouldn't our firepower be much stronger?"

"Do you think I don't want to?" Lin Xian smiled helplessly: "You little girl, you really treat me as a factory, don't you."
