Chapter 236: Vulcan Mecha

~14 min read 2,777 words

"Such a big one!" Shu Qin also exclaimed at this time: "I saw one in the Iron Guard Brigade at the airport before, the firepower is very powerful."

"That one is T7." Lin Xian's expression was very urgent: "This T8-Z Vulcan is the latest model of the assault type before the Apocalypse Day, and only a small part of it is equipped with the interstellar army. I didn't expect a Foundation to have such a big thing."

"They not only have it, but it seems there are quite a few." Ding Junyi's gaze swept over the entire hangar and said: "There are sixteen large warehouses for the mecha maintenance platform here, and now they are all empty. Is this one broken?"

Lin Xian's eyes tightened. He ran a few steps along the water's edge, then jumped up. *Clang*, he landed on the mecha, and then he came to the bulletproof porthole of the cockpit cover. After wiping the dirt on it, he immediately saw a drowned corpse inside, wearing the Foundation's clothing.

"It looks like it didn't run away, not necessarily broken."

Lin Xian was extremely excited at this time. After running around for so long, he finally found a heavy mecha!

He said, his gaze carefully examining the upper body of the mecha, and his eyes became more and more excited.

This thing weighed 17 tons fully loaded and was more than three meters high. The right arm was equipped with a three-tube 30mm Vulcan machine cannon with 6,000 rounds of ammunition. The left arm was a 75mm airborne main gun, which could fire lethal grenades, semi-armor-piercing explosive shells, and guided shells, with a rate of fire of 40 rounds per minute. Besides that, there were flamethrowers and grenade launchers. The whole body armor was comparable to a tank. It was completely an assault-type sharp weapon!!

"I'll check if this thing is damaged first, and then find a way to get it back to the *Infinite*!"

Lin Xian pressed his hand on the cold mecha, activated the Mechanical Heart, and immediately prepared to start scanning.

"Lin Xian, can I go to other places on this floor to see." Seeing Lin Xian about to start scanning, Ding Junyi raised the stack of data in her hand and said: "I want to get more useful information before leaving."

Lin Xian wanted to refuse, because they had just encountered an unknown Eerie Entity, and he was worried that Ding Junyi would have an accident. But then he saw Ding Junyi's solemn expression and knew that these things were of great significance to her, so he said to Shu Qin: "Yes, you go together, don't leave too far."

After speaking, he pressed the communicator and said: "When on Floor 7, the communication distance was still quite far, but on this floor, it has been greatly interfered with, either by the dark power of the Eerie Entity or by these waters, so be careful."

Shu Qin nodded: "Don't worry, Team Leader Lin, I will be with Director Ding."

Then Lin Xian nodded to Ding Junyi, and the two moved along the water's edge, crossing the hangar and heading toward other areas of the 9th floor.

This floor was the main working area of the Foundation, and the useful resources that could be obtained should be more than other floors. This point was also within Lin Xian's consideration.

Seeing Ding Junyi and the others set off, Lin Xian didn't waste time and decisively turned on the mecha scan.

【Scanning, 1%】

*Hum! *

The Mechanical Heart started. When his intention sank into the mecha, Lin Xian immediately felt a burst of pleasure in his brain. This feeling had appeared when he scanned the power armor on his body.

Under the outer armor of the mecha, those tight mechanical transmission designs, the power core on the back, the control system, the gyro stabilizer on the legs, the hydraulic power distributor equipped on the legs, the high-agility torque drive of the knee joint, the engine group of the muscle unit... these things made Lin Xian's heart itch all the time, feeling the surging beauty of industrial design.

If he could get this thing back, there would be another big killer on the train. Plus the G3-electromagnetic railgun that hadn't been completed yet, the *Infinite*'s firepower would completely reach a new level.

"By the way, almost forgot."

Lin Xian's heart was burning with excitement. At this time, he suddenly remembered something and immediately opened the R&D center on his left hand.

"Damn, the sniper rifle blueprint has been upgraded successfully for more than two hours..."

Looking at the light screen in front of him, Lin Xian remembered such an important thing: "It seems that hitting that black centipede just now ignored the reminder of the R&D center."

【Congratulations, obtained Meteor No. 3 Heavy Sniper Rifle (Blueprint)】

"Wow, this is high-end stuff!"

Meteor No. 3 was high-end equipment equipped by the special forces of the interstellar army. The whole gun body was made of special alloy, which was not only lighter in weight but also equipped with an intelligent recoil system, which greatly improved mobility and stability while enhancing certain firepower.

"Also with an auxiliary system, give this to Chen Laoshi, and then build a set of power armor for her, I go..."

Lin Xian's heart was burning, and the idea of arming Chen Laoshi into a sniper goddess was getting stronger and stronger.

"Finally, I can do it. This time I will directly upgrade the power armor."

Lin Xian no longer put his goal on weapons this time. Ever since he obtained the TRP 4th generation special industrial active exoskeleton power armor from Ding Qing, he decided to upgrade and modify it on the basis of this power armor. This time, after he went back and finished manufacturing the electromagnetic railgun system, he would start manufacturing power armor for all the main members and strengthen everyone's combat ability.

Lin Xian directly chose to put the power armor blueprint into the R&D center. At this time, the R&D center began to flash yellow light.

【The blueprint level is relatively high, current mechanical manufacturing level: 3, R&D time increased by 25%】

【R&D time for this device: 13 days 20 hours】

"Sure enough."

Lin Xian's eyes darkened, but he didn't cancel it this time, but chose to research directly.

Mechanical Manufacturing: 3 (460/1000)

He had carried out a large amount of weapon manufacturing in Hengshan Pass this time, and also used quite a bit of manufacturing ability when facing Hua Xiaoling's test in the research institute. Now the proficiency was close to half the level. He would focus on manufacturing weapon stations for the *Infinite* next, or manufacture more heavy weapons...

"Just ready to find that Hu guy to inquire. It should be feasible to exchange some supplies needed to enter the snowfield with more weapons."

Lin Xian sank his heart into the mecha scan, and at the same time paid attention to the situation around him at all times.

"Shu Qin, how is your situation?" Lin Xian pressed the communicator.

"Team Leader Lin, no abnormality." Shu Qin responded.

Hearing Shu Qin's voice, Lin Xian was slightly relieved. He began to calm his breath and let the Mechanical Heart run at full power to scan this giant mecha.

*Gurgle, gurgle~*

*Gurgle, gurgle~*

Bubbles emerged from time to time on the water surface of the submerged hangar, and the water waves kept rippling. The water that had submerged the mecha's waist and abdomen gradually reached the position of the chest, and the corridor by the water had also begun to be flooded.

Lin Xian frowned and looked at the speed of the rising water, calculating the time in his heart, and at the same time contacted Shu Qin with the communicator every once in a while.

*Dong, dong. *

At this time, a burst of footsteps suddenly rang out in the corridor they had just come over.

Lin Xian felt a chill in his heart. He immediately scanned his eyes, but saw a shadow running past quickly. He hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "Who?!"

No one responded.

Lin Xian picked up the black gun, but his hand did not let go of the mecha, continuing to run the Mechanical Heart to scan.

【Scanning progress 55%】

Unless forced to, he would not easily interrupt the scanning progress.

"Shu Qin."

"What's wrong, Team Leader Lin?" Shu Qin's voice came from the other end of the communicator.

"Are you nearby?"

"We are in an office area now."

Lin Xian's eyes tightened upon hearing this: "Be careful, I saw some movement heading toward your direction."

"Good!" Hearing Lin Xian's words, Shu Qin's voice tightened instantly.

*Dong, dong, dong~*

Another burst of footsteps, this time closer.

*Woo~*

Lin Xian activated the black gun's magnetic control engine and looked toward the depths of the corridor that had already overflowed with water.

*Zzz~*

At this moment, the lights suddenly flickered, and the entire space went black for a split second. When the lights restored illumination, a figure suddenly appeared in Lin Xian's line of sight, though he didn't know when.

Kiki.

"When did you come?"

Kiki stood in the middle of the corridor, watching Lin Xian walk over quickly. Then she made a mind-boggling action. She saw her take off her clothes one by one in front of Lin Xian.

Before long, a white girl's naked body was completely presented before Lin Xian's eyes.

Lin Xian frowned upon seeing this. This eerie behavior made him start to notice something wrong. He immediately thought of the encounter in Rain Town, then raised his black gun and said coldly: "Who are you?"

"It's me, what are you doing?"

Kiki saw Lin Xian raise his black gun and was very strange, but she didn't stop her pace, but walked directly into the water and began to swim toward Lin Xian's direction.

Lin Xian felt very bad. He clearly noticed that this 'Kiki' was wrong, but the other party really spoke, which made him start to hesitate.

"Stop!" he shouted.

!

But Kiki didn't stop at all, smiling and constantly swimming toward Lin Xian. The snow-white naked body swam in the water waves with a beautiful posture, which looked extremely eerie in this black water hangar of the underground research institute.

Lin Xian gripped the black gun in his hand and gritted his teeth. He didn't know if it was his hallucination or Kiki was crazy, but his subconscious was strongly warning him.

This situation is wrong!

"It's me, don't kill me." Kiki shouted at him.

Lin Xian's heart beat wildly. Seeing Kiki getting closer and closer to him, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Just as Kiki was about to approach the mecha, suddenly, a huge gunshot rang out.

*Bang! *

The next instant, the Kiki in front of him suddenly disappeared from the water, and Lin Xian's vision also changed. The scene in front of him slowly turned from black to clear, and a splash of tissue and blood exploded in the water beside the mecha.

Lin Xian looked closely. At this time, where was there any Kiki? In the water in front of him, there was only a terrifying white human head, and below it were broken tentacles!

"Lin Xian!"

At this time, the familiar voice rang out from a distance.

Lin Xian raised his head in a daze, and saw that at the end of the straight corridor, Kiki, Da Lou, Lv Chang, Miao Lu, and more than a dozen team members were rushing over, and standing in the middle was Chen Sixuan!

At this time, Chen Laoshi was maintaining the posture of raising her gun. That heavy A33K anti-material sniper rifle was actually raised by her, and the muzzle was emitting a wisp of blue smoke.

Chen Laoshi's chest heaved slowly. At this time, she put down the gun and ran over with Kiki.

"Lin Xian, are you okay?" Chen Laoshi asked.

And Kiki flew over directly from the water surface, looked at the ancient monster in the water with a frown, and then looked at Lin Xian: "What are you dazed for? This monster is so close to you, why didn't you do it?"

Lin Xian came back to his senses at this time, looked at the humanoid monster with disbelief, and said: "Strange, just now this thing didn't know what means it used. Why did I see you take off your clothes and swim toward me, and even talk to me."

"What?!" Kiki's big eyes almost popped out upon hearing this, and she said angrily: "You fart, who would take off their clothes and swim in this kind of place!"

Chen Sixuan also walked to the side of the hangar and said to Lin Xian across the water: "But when I aimed just now, I didn't see it have any disguise."

Lin Xian nodded: "I know, so I was thinking, could this be some kind of ability that can make people hallucinate."

"Ability?"

"Hmm." Lin Xian pressed the communicator: "Shu Qin, you and Director Ding come over quickly, our people have arrived."

"Good, coming immediately."

Lin Xian breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the broken corpse in the water, and said: "Director Ding said before that if an ability user mutates into a Human-Ghost, they might also have abilities, but it could also be some kind of Eerie Entity. Let's wait for her to come over and ask her."

After speaking, he said to the crowd with a solemn expression: "Everyone be careful. This Foundation research institute might have some experiments they conducted besides Human-Ghosts and Eerie Entities. It's very strange."

"You wait a moment."

Kiki flew to Lin Xian's side and looked at him sharply: "Hey, make it clear, did you really see me take off my clothes?"

*Cough, cough~*

Lin Xian avoided the little girl's scrutinizing gaze and hurriedly looked at Chen Sixuan to change the subject.

"Chen Laoshi, why did you come too."

Chen Sixuan held the sniper rifle and said to Lin Xian in a tentative tone: "Lu Xingchen said he would guard the train, and Shasha also stayed behind. I heard Kiki say that there are many supplies here that need to be moved, so I followed along. I know better which supplies on the train are lacking. If searching for supplies, it's better not to take everything onto the train..."

Lin Xian nodded. He knew that Chen Sixuan wanted to take the initiative to go out to help the team, so he didn't poke her little thoughts, but said tentatively: "That makes sense, you are very thoughtful."

"Hey Lin..."

"By the way, little girl, look at what this is." Lin Xian saw Kiki about to explode, and continued to change the target, pointing to the mecha under his feet.

This time, Kiki finally noticed it, and then her eyes lit up.

"Wow! T8-Z Vulcan military assault type!!"

Before long, Shu Qin and Director Ding rushed over from a side corridor. Everyone gathered by the water, observing the monster that had just been killed by Chen Sixuan with one shot.

"This is completely a human torso, it should be a Human-Ghost, but now seeing the biochemical human experiments in this Foundation research institute, I can't be sure either." Ding Junyi said after observing for a while.

"That's really scary. It can actually make people hallucinate. That should be a mental attack." Shu Qin also said with a solemn expression.

Lin Xian nodded: "I don't know how I got caught just now. Actually, I found something wrong when this thing approached me, but the Kiki in the hallucination was too realistic, so I hesitated and didn't make a move."

"Everyone pay attention to your actions later."

Kiki on the side heard the word 'realistic' and her cheeks puffed up, squinting and glaring at Lin Xian.

Lin Xian saw this little girl looking at him from time to time, thinking that he should have just said he saw Kiki, and the detail of taking off clothes didn't need to be described, which led to a series of questions from this girl.

So he hooked his finger at Kiki.

Kiki flew over with an angry expression: "What?"

Lin Xian lowered his voice to Kiki: "This monster should be simulating the image of you taking off your clothes. I observed it for a long time, it's definitely not your naked body."

Kiki heard this, and her face turned red and white. Her silver teeth bit fiercely, glaring at Lin Xian.

"You... how do you know?"

Lin Xian said with a straight face: "That monster, has breasts."
