Chapter 220: Foundation Organization (Revised)

"How about it, Lin Ge? I'll let the convoy digest so many guns first, and then I'll take the goods directly from you, is that okay?"

Lin Xian looked at him meaningfully: "Do you know how much stock I have?"

"Uh..." Hu Lushou's tone stalled upon hearing this. His gaze changed slightly, and he looked at Lin Xian: "The more the better, the more the better. With such a powerful convoy, you must be able to get any supplies!"

Lin Xian's gaze swept over Hu Lushou and the woman behind him, and he said indifferently: "Then where should I find you if I have goods?"

Upon hearing this, Fortune immediately relaxed his brows and said: "Our camp is in the Hengshanguan Gymnasium. How about we go sit there now? I'll treat everyone to hot pot?"

"Really?"

Lin Xian smiled, looking at Hu Lushou, a gaze that made Hu Lushou feel a bit creepy.

"No need, you go." Lin Xian's expression changed, and he directly refused. He naturally saw that this guy had ten thousand reasons to want to slip away, but he wasn't here to be a bandit, so there was no need to fall out with such a mobile material convoy. Maybe he would really need them in the future.

"Eh, alright! Lin Ge is generous, then we... will withdraw first." Hu Lushou smiled and hurriedly greeted his subordinates. The group of people left in a dejected manner.

Hum~

Watching Hu Lushou's convoy leave, Kiki flew to Lin Xian's side: "Just let a guy like this go?"

"What else can I do?" Lin Xian laughed lightly: "They didn't force a buy or sell, and we exchanged for a truck of supplies. What else do you want?"

Chen Sixuan looked at him: "Does he really want to cooperate with us?"

Lin Xian snorted: "What agent taking goods? It means he helps me sell. As for the price, let's not worry about it. The actual purpose is to want us not to shout prices on the radio to the outside world, to stabilize the price in this area, so that his many Starfire Type 26 fully automatic tactical rifles can sell for a high price and recover some costs. But regardless of whether we agree or not, his primary purpose is still to escape first."

Hearing this, Kiki's brows relaxed, and she said "Oh", "This guy is quite shrewd."

Lin Xian took a deep breath: "But he was right about one thing. Now the monsters in the dark night are becoming more and more powerful. People will evolve, and monsters will too. Maybe even zombies will become powerful. The value of ordinary weapons will become lower and lower."

Chen Sixuan nodded: "These survivor convoys also see this, so they all want heavy weapons."

At this time, Lin Xian turned to the survivors who were still watching and said: "There are still guns. Do you still want to exchange?"

"Trade!!" Cao Hong shouted first. His eyes were straight at this moment. For some reason, seeing Hu Lushou get slapped in the face, he felt secretly refreshed. He thought the bargain he had finally managed to find was going to be ruined, but he didn't expect that the one in front of him was the real big shot!

"Want, want, want."

The change in the situation made this group of survivors energized all at once. The Infinite convoy in front of them turned out to be a hidden big shot. The military supplies on the train were enough to equip a regiment, which left the people from those convoys stunned. Reacting, they hurriedly crowded toward the Infinite to continue the previous trade.

At this time, the middle-aged man named Liao Ming, after watching Hu Lushou's convoy leave, walked over to Lin Xian and said:

"Brother, don't believe that guy's nonsense. This guy is shrewd, and his goods were not obtained by reselling at all."

"Oh?" Lin Xian frowned: "What do you mean?"

Liao Ming pointed to the box of military supplies carried out by his subordinates: "With so many standard supplies, how could they be collected from survivors? When we bought from him before, his subordinates bragged that their Fortune convoy had cooperation with official organizations, but actually, they don't."

He said, his expression changed, and he said to Lin Xian and the others seriously: "You know Qingshui Town, right? It's right next to Shijiu Lake. There is a 095 Dragon-class transport ship that the Federation government crash-landed a long time ago. It is said that the gold-toothed kid just got lucky and obtained a lot of survival supplies on that transport ship. That's why he started trading and selling everywhere, and recruited quite a few people, and the convoy suddenly grew."

"Wow, Dragon-class transport ship, a big guy weighing ten thousand tons. He's too lucky." Kiki gritted her teeth and said angrily: "What a piece of dog shit luck."

Lin Xian's focus was different. He asked Liao Ming directly: "Is that transport ship still there?"

"Why?" Liao Ming was stunned upon hearing this and smiled: "That thing was long ago emptied by who knows how many people. Now Qingshui Town is full of zombies. You still want to pick up scraps?"

"Just curious." Lin Xian's expression was smiling but not smiling. At this moment, he had already made up his mind.

What he had his eyes on was, of course, that ten-thousand-ton transport ship. For such large machinery, even if it crashed, he could scan it by system. For him, this was the most important "material"!

Nuclear-powered turbine processor, floating power engine, engine group, shipborne radar, shipborne anti-aircraft weapons...

Even if it was just materials, the materials on the flying ship were much better than ordinary train carriages. Since coming out of Underground City No. 9, if it weren't for the dark night approaching, he would have picked up some materials from the Iron Guard Brigade gunboat and fighter jet that crashed in Daluo Mountain. Thinking about it now, he still felt quite a pity.

Outside Hengshanguan Train Station, several high-speed armed vehicles were rushing through the streets covered in greenery, constantly smashing various zombies.

In one of the cars, Hu Lushou sat in the passenger seat, gritting his teeth. The driver was his deputy, Sun Chang.

"Damn, lost big, lost big. A Silver Star, a Longshan No. 1, such large train groups just popped up, how come another Infinite popped up? Damn, these people driving trains really have a lot of stuff!"

The burly Sun Chang drove steadily without turning her head: "Their price is very cost-effective, where did we lose?"

"You don't know shit!" Hu Lushou's gaze changed, his nose snorted, he looked at Sun Chang, and then his tone relaxed a bit.

"Anyway, just watch. If we don't sell these ordinary rifles quickly, they'll become fire pokers before long!"

Hearing this, Sun Chang frowned slightly and didn't speak.

Hum, the convoy sped away, attracting many zombies to chase.

There were quite a few survivor teams in the Hengshanguan area. Some had been building shelters in the city for a long time, while others were passing through, aiming to take the eastern route to Star City, or preparing to take the northern route to the Dawn Center. Convoys and camps of various sizes were stationed in various corners of the city: supermarkets, warehouses, police stations, prisons, and places with relatively high protective facilities.

The Infinite's first trade initiated via radio was quite successful. Various daily necessities were successively carried onto the train by team members and stacked in the No. 7 and No. 6 supply carriages. Those survivor convoys exchanged for weapons at a lower price, and their spirits were relatively high.

Not long after, the convoys that had finished exchanging drove away one after another, and the Hengshanguan platform gradually quieted down.

Just after those convoys with different graffiti drove away, Lin Xian saw an armored vehicle parked in a corner. A short-haired woman wearing a black coat stood in front of the car. It seemed no one had noticed her. She just stood there, her gaze quietly looking toward Lin Xian's side.

Just after Lin Xian's gaze was cast over, the woman smiled at him slightly, looking just like an acquaintance greeting him.

Lin Xian frowned, feeling somewhat inexplicable, because he didn't know that woman.

At this time, Chen Sixuan and the others were all busy on the train moving supplies and counting inventory. Lin Xian felt suspicious in his heart, so he moved directly over. Seeing Lin Xian walk over, a smile appeared on the woman's face.

This woman looked to be in her thirties, with clean and neat ear-length short hair. Her appearance wasn't beautiful, but she was very pleasant to look at, especially those eyes, deep brown pupils, giving people a very profound feeling.

"Hello, we meet again." The woman's voice was steady, and she greeted him first.

Lin Xian was somewhat surprised and asked suspiciously: "Have we met?"

"Hua Xiaoling."

The woman reached out her hand and introduced herself: "Climbing Elevator, thanks to your 'Traction Plan'."

Lin Xian reacted and shook hands with her: "Are you also from Yubei City?"

Hua Xiaoling smiled faintly and looked at Lin Xian: "In that kind of environment, you were busy saving the world and shouldn't have noticed me, but that was really a very genius plan."

"You flatter me."

Lin Xian looked at the armored vehicle behind Hua Xiaoling. This was a standard combat-grade armored vehicle. Just from the appearance, it didn't look like a survivor's vehicle. The black windows couldn't see how many people were in the car. This seemed to be a special car for some high-level organization. Looking at the posture, the other party wasn't here to buy guns from him.

"Did you hear the radio and come specifically to find me?" Lin Xian asked.

!

Hua Xiaoling took out a business card and handed it to Lin Xian at this time: "We are very interested in your mechanical ability, so the Foundation entrusted me to extend an invitation for cooperation. I don't know if you are interested."

Hearing the Foundation, Lin Xian took the business card suspiciously, only to see it written:

"SIID Foundation Laboratory, Senior Executive, Hua Xiaoling"

"SIID Foundation Laboratory?" Lin Xian frowned: "Are you from the Federation?"

He remembered that after escaping from the Strange Radio, Kiki had shown him a document about the Angel Plan, which contained a Special Item Investigation Department, referring to SIID. This department was said to be specifically for taboo item research.

Hua Xiaoling smiled faintly: "Strictly speaking, the SIID Foundation Laboratory is a large research organization established by the Lofi Consortium. Before the Federation government dissolved, we had a cooperative relationship with the government. But now, we belong to a separate organizational system."

"Separate? What do you mean?"

"It means that whether it's the Phoenix Society or Dawn City, we maintain a neutral nature among them." Seeing Lin Xian somewhat puzzled, Hua Xiaoling looked at him with a smile: "Ordinary people might feel that the current organizational system of the Federation and the Phoenix Society is very chaotic. This mainly depends on the different concepts of various factions in the face of civilization survival. The official organization generally recognized by everyone is still the Salvation Faction led by the Phoenix Society. The Phoenix Society has three core organizations, which are the three major Dawn Main Cities, the Night Walker organization specifically responsible for ability research and development, ability user recruitment, and dispatching global missions, and finally the Interstellar Army."

"And the Survival Faction led by the Dawn Plan, in the current environment, still has many survivors who treat the old Federation government as official."

"After the first extreme night, the original Angel Plan dissolved and split into many parts. The 'Special Item Investigation Department' you mentioned is a research group invested in and built by our SIID Foundation, responsible for the research of some special dark night items."

"And the philosophy of our Foundation is to study the existing civilization system and dark invasion from a scientific perspective. Simply put, we are looking for an opportunity to transform human civilization."

Hearing this, Lin Xian frowned and said: "Are you the Advent Faction?"

Hua Xiaoling smiled and said: "Team Leader Lin, don't be nervous. I just said that we are a neutral organization. The Advent Faction you mentioned should refer to that group of people who fanatically worship dark power and treat the apocalypse-extinction power as the Creator God."

She said, tilting her head slightly: "In the eyes of our scientists, this group of people belongs to those with problems in their brains."

"Indeed there is a problem." Lin Xian took a breath and looked at Hua Xiaoling: "So what are you looking for me to cooperate on?"

"Mechanical creation."

Hua Xiaoling said straight to the point: "If we are talking about the opportunity for civilization transformation, for our scientists, what we value most is naturally the field of artificial intelligence and high technology. This is also the will that our civilization has left. And genetic evolution and abilities are still a relatively strange direction for us. Don't you think so?"

Lin Xian understood. The other party had taken a fancy to his mechanical ability.

This seemed to be the only functional ability in the ability system that could be linked to human technology.

Unfortunately, my ability is not an ability...

Lin Xian sighed in his heart.

"What you said makes sense, but you might have thought my ability is too magical."

It was indeed quite miraculous; the R&D center could directly create blueprints of a generational gap, but Lin Xian did not want to publicize it. Even just mechanical manufacturing and devouring were already considered heaven-defying enough in the eyes of ordinary people. Many people in Yubei City already knew; at the time, between life and death, he had not chosen to hide it, but now, after the fact, it would certainly attract the attention of some people.

For example, the Phoenix Society.

But what Lin Xian didn't expect was that instead of waiting for the Phoenix Society, the first one to find him was this SIID Foundation Laboratory.

Hearing Lin Xian's words, Hua Xiaoling just smiled lightly without too much discussion. Instead, she said to him with a calm expression:

"It doesn't matter. We have an all-weather laboratory right at Shijiu Lake, which has many achievements in dark night, genetic evolution, and ability research. You are always welcome to come and communicate. You might be very interested in your mechanical ability."

"Good." Lin Xian responded.

Hua Xiaoling smiled faintly, then turned and got into the car. The black armored vehicle drove away quickly and soon disappeared at the end of the platform.

"Foundation, Lofi Consortium, Angel Plan, transport ship crash..."

Lin Xian looked at the direction the armored vehicle left and pondered slightly.

"Where did this neutral organization pop out from?"

Brothers, double monthly tickets until the 7th, please vote for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month, I am deeply grateful!
