Chapter 222: Dragon-class Transport Ship (Revised)

~15 min read 2,816 words

On the Infinite, Chen Sixuan locked all the carriage doors, turned on the early warning mechanism of the sentry system, and began to take the remaining people to organize supplies and carriages.

Under the early warning system, the 1130 could launch an attack on unknown threat units at any time with Chen Sixuan's authorization, which could be said to be very intelligent.

The PX05 engineering robot was set with maintenance instructions by Kiki. As long as the 1130 was activated, it would quickly follow up to replenish the ammunition supply chain.

"Everyone, with the Infinite as the origin, communication should be interrupted beyond a certain distance. Everyone must pay attention to the time and return to the train before 18:00."

Lin Xian's voice was transmitted to all places via the walkie-talkie.

"Received." Shu Qin's voice came.

"Received, received." Shasha also picked up the walkie-talkie to respond, then shook it at Lu Xingchen: "Did you hear that? If you get lost, I won't come to find you, so follow me closely~"

Lu Xingchen smiled and said helplessly, "Good~"

"Okay, you all be careful." On the Infinite, Chen Sixuan's voice also came.

Lin Xian heard the responses from all sides, signaled a look at Kiki, and then accelerated and drove away quickly.

Seeing Lin Xian riding faster than her, Kiki's competitive spirit rose. She squeezed the throttle, the motorcycle engine roared crazily, and the wind whistled as she overtook Lin Xian, leaving him with a sexy female rider's back.

"Are you trying to drag race?" Lin Xian said in the communicator.

"If you can't keep up, just honestly eat the tail gas, hee hee~" Kiki's voice carried the wind.

Lin Xian shook his head helplessly, nimbly dodged the zombies pouncing from the side of the road, and also accelerated to follow.

In those originally wide city streets, many abandoned and rusted cars were parked. The two motorcycles flexibly shuttled through the many obstacles and sped south all the way.

He was wearing power armor, carrying a magnetic black gun and an electric knife on his back, and also brought an extra fully loaded automatic rifle, which could be said to be well-prepared.

In terms of distance, the distance he explored in this direction was the farthest, because he had to leave the city for tens of kilometers. From the map, Qingshui Town was close to Shijiu Lake. At the fastest speed, it would take at least about 1 hour to ride. In order to return before dark, he and Kiki didn't care about the exploration of the streets on the way and rushed directly.

Ugh~!

The low roars of zombies rose one after another around Lin Xian. He rode his motorcycle and dodged all the way, occasionally using the wind gun to solve a few zombies blocking the road, and the vehicles drove windingly in the open space.

Hum!

And Kiki was even more brutal. Whether it was zombies or abandoned cars blocking the road, she directly used an invisible shockwave to forcibly blast open a path. The obstacles that originally blocked the road on the way all seemed to hear an order and neatly made way for her.

Passing through countless blocks, the two finally drove out of the city suburbs. The highway leaving the city was blocked with abandoned cars. Fortunately, they were riding motorcycles, so they directly shuttled through various road ridges and hills and sped toward the direction of Qingshui Town.

After Lin Xian drove for tens of kilometers, a wide, deep blue water area appeared in the distance, connecting heaven and earth. It was a huge lake. Before even getting close, he felt a large amount of moist lake-land wind blowing toward his face. This was the climate change brought about by the lake effect, indicating that this water body was surprisingly large. At a glance, he even thought he saw the ocean.

Lin Xian had studied this lake before setting off. It was the largest freshwater lake in the Yunjiang Plain, with a water area of 120,000 square kilometers and a depth of up to 1,900 meters. It was an important freshwater reserve lake in the Long Kingdom.

The deep blue water area could also be seen to be very deep, because he almost drowned when swimming in a deep-water reservoir when he was a child, so Lin Xian had a natural fear of deep water.

At this moment, he remembered that if he wanted to enter the ocean orbit section later, driving a train on the ocean orbit built on the ridge of the deep sea thousands of meters deep, he also felt incomparably thrilling and exciting.

"Wow, what a big lake, will there be water monsters in it!"

Kiki's voice came from the communicator. At this time, driving out of the city, other squads were basically out of contact.

"What are you afraid of? We won't go into the water."

Having experienced Underground City No. 9 and Rain Town, Lin Xian knew that even in the daytime, strange entities would exist in those dark buildings, and in the water, especially deep water, it was naturally able to block sunlight.

For the habits of these dark creatures, many survivors already had quite a bit of experience.

Kiki, however, responded directly: "That's not necessarily true. What if that Foundation organization is hidden under the lake."

Lin Xian smiled lightly: "With such powerful means, that means it's not a loss to cooperate with them."

The motorcycles sped all the way. Lin Xian looked at the signs on the road and began to adjust the direction of travel, turning from the highway to the ordinary national road.

Qingshui Town was a small town with a small population. Few people ran to this kind of place in the doomsday, and the abandoned cars on the road began to decrease, and the speed of the two gradually increased.

Passing through a few woods by the lake, Lin Xian lifted his gaze, and a small town appeared in his vision. It looked like the style of a tourist town. The rusted sign tilted on the side of the road still wrote "Welcome to Qingshui Town"~

And as the two motorcycles approached, the dilapidated cars along the way began to gradually increase, and a few zombies wandered sparsely on the highway.

Those cars were all hit to the sides of the road, forming a passable path.

Lin Xian and Kiki stopped their cars on an open hillside.

"It looks like quite a few people have indeed been here."

Kiki stopped the car, made a look-out gesture, and looked at the small town: "What a pity, this small town is quite beautiful, it's a good place for tourism."

"Hey, look, is that the crashed transport ship!"

At this moment, Kiki discovered something immediately.

Lin Xian's gaze condensed as he looked at the small town not far away. At this moment, he also saw a huge empty ship outline lying horizontally in the depths of the town's streets, looking quite spectacular. The ten-thousand-ton large transport ship was tilted and lying between a few collapsed high-rise buildings. Many places on the top of the transport ship had burn marks, the main structure of the front part of the ship's bow was broken, and many birds were flying on the Cloud-tree ship. Looking from afar, the huge man-made ship body looked extremely abrupt and sci-fi among the buildings of the town.

"Such a large transport ship, crashing here suddenly is really strange. Could it be that it encountered some large strange entity?"

Lin Xian observed the town with binoculars and could see many zombies wandering in the streets, but he didn't see the shadows of other survivor teams.

"It's possible." Kiki looked at Shijiu Lake in the distance: "I said there must be some big monster in this lake. Those Federation aircraft are really unlucky, getting beaten everywhere."

Hearing this, Lin Xian frowned. He instinctively resisted the water area where the lake turned black. 1,900 meters deep, in the abyss where sunlight couldn't reach, who knew what existed. He remembered the underground creatures of Underground City No. 9 and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"Let's go into the town first and be careful."

The southern track line was not far from here. If the Infinite really wanted to turn to the southern line, it would also pass through here, but there was no station to stop.

The two rode their motorcycles again. The buildings along the way gradually became dense. After approaching the town street area, the two motorcycles began to slow down, and both of them focused on the surroundings with guarded expressions.

Appearing in front of the two was a desolate and bleak tourist town. The side of the road was full of storefronts such as "Shijiu Lake Aquatic Products" and "Boat Rental". The main street was dirty, with old clothes, rotten corpses, and the fishy wind mixed with lake water blowing toward their faces.

I don't know if it was because of the rising lake water, but a few of the streets were even submerged in the lake water, presenting a dark green color. Looking at the degree of submersion, it should be about half a person high.

Lin Xian directly bypassed these flooded streets and drove toward the direction of the crashed transport ship in the town center area.

Cluster, cluster, cluster!

A few wind gun shots passed, and a few zombies fell to the ground. Passing through a few streets, a large number of collapsed and shattered buildings began to block the street. That ten-thousand-ton aerial aircraft lay tilted on a piece of buildings. Hundreds of meters of streets completely collapsed, and a huge crash gully appeared from west to east, almost dividing the entire town into two.

The bow of the Dragon-class transport ship presented a broken deformation, and the upper multi-layer internal deck floors were exposed to the sunlight. Lin Xian took a look, but climbing up from one side of the ship body along the slope was at least ten stories high.

"Wow, such a large transport ship, it's okay." Kiki said with an exclamation.

"Let's go directly to the top in a while. There are more and more zombies around, so try to avoid remote places." Lin Xian's expression had been paying attention to the surroundings. He knew that this place might not just be their group, so he was still careful.

"You got it."

!

As the two drove into this quiet town, the zombies attracted around became more and more numerous. Lin Xian took a look, directly raised his hand to manufacture a few steel frames, then rode the car over a piece of broken reinforced concrete area, drove up from the facade of a tilted collapsed staircase, and stopped at a slightly hidden high place of waste bricks and rubble.

"Move the car up." Lin Xian stopped the car and rushed down toward the direction of the collapsed staircase, and at the same time said to Kiki.

He directly urged the action unit of the power armor, jumped up, jumped to the floor below, rubbed and rubbed to manufacture a tilted steel wall, blocking the trend of those zombies climbing up. Many zombies began to fall from the side of the floor.

Although these zombies didn't pose much threat at the moment, Lin Xian had to clean them up. Kiki grabbed two motorcycles and flew up, flying toward the direction of the transport ship, and soon landed on the top deck of the transport ship.

Bang bang!

On Lin Xian's side, after making the blocking facilities, he directly aimed the wind gun at a precarious advertising light box on the opposite street. He only heard the air hitting the metal frame, sparks flickering, and then the large restaurant light box directly collapsed and fell down. For a time, iron frames and light box fragments splashed, smashing a piece of zombies and blocking part of the climbing path.

"Good, done."

Lin Xian built the wall, turned and rushed to the high place. The action unit of the power armor began to output torque, and the whole person walked like flying. Soon, the huge Dragon-class transport ship came to his eyes.

The side wings were deeply inserted into the ground, and even the sewers of the street were turned out. Lin Xian climbed directly along the side wings to the top of the transport ship. There were many muddy footprints on the road, as well as many bloodstains, and there were many dead survivors' corpses everywhere. Some had already rotted, and some seemed to have just died less than a week ago, and I don't know if they were bitten to death by zombies or killed by others in the scramble for supplies.

Just at this time, the transport ship was incomparably quiet. Lin Xian didn't know if there were people inside, nor did he know if there were other survivor teams staring at this place in the town. Running halfway, Lin Xian looked at Kiki who was flying in the sky observing the surroundings, and then looked behind him. At this time, it was already ten stories high.

"Little girl, you help me watch the outside, I'll go in and see."

"Then you be careful~" Kiki landed on the deck and said to Lin Xian.

Lin Xian threw her a pair of binoculars: "I'll explore it, it should be fast. You pay attention to the surroundings, there may be other people staring at this place, be careful."

"Alright, I know, you go in first, if there is anything, you shout at me directly." Kiki said.

Lin Xian walked forward all the way along the direction of the ship's top, came to the huge gap where the ship's bow was broken, looked at it, and jumped in directly.

Thump!

The moment he landed, the cabin deck emitted a low hum. Lin Xian waved his hand by his ear, and the head-mounted photoelectric was manufactured and shone out light, shining toward the interior of the cabin.

"Lin Xian?"

"Didn't see anyone." Lin Xian responded. The upper layer of this transport ship was the rest cabin for officers and personnel. Looking from the corridor, there were rest cabins one by one. However, all the cabin doors had been opened. Lin Xian stood in the slightly tilted corridor, looking at the empty and uninhabited interior of the ship, his expression stern.

"You watch the outside, I'll take a turn inside."

"Good."

Lin Xian didn't have any luxury for supplies. This place looked like it had been visited by who knows how many waves of survivors, and if it was stared at by Hu Lushou's group first according to what Liao Ming said, it must have been ransacked inside and out. Even the second batch of searchers would find it very difficult to find any usable supplies.

However, Lin Xian was here to find blueprints and swallow engines. Survivors were unlikely to dismantle these things. For Lin Xian, these were treasures.

"It's pitch black inside, don't let some strange entity pop out..."

Lin Xian's face sank, and he thought secretly in his heart, but his feet didn't hesitate, and he ran directly to the engine engineering room at the back. The interior of the transport ship was pitch black, filled with the smell of dead people rotting. Along the way, he saw many corpses in Federation garrison uniforms lying in a mess.

Judging by the degree of rot, it is estimated that they were already dead when it crashed.

However, when he jumped in from the broken place at the bow of the ship, he noticed a few oddities. What made him feel most strange was that there was an upward impact area at the front of the bow, but after landing, the fracture occurred from above, which looked very strange.

Simply put, it was that the transport ship seemed to have impact marks on both its forehead and chin, and the impact on the forehead was harder than the chin, as if the transport ship had hit some object while flying at high altitude, and then in the process of forced landing, the bow hit the ground, was torn by stress, and the upper deck structure broke.

Because the highest building in this town was only ten stories high, and the impact area in front of the bow didn't show impact marks of buildings, it was difficult for Lin Xian not to think about the direction of a mid-air collision.

"This unlucky transport ship, shouldn't it have hit atmospheric mica in the air."

Lin Xian pondered secretly in his heart.

"However, for such a large thing, the radar couldn't have no reaction..."
