Chapter 242: Ding Junyi

The sun was bright, and the breeze was mild.

Clang, clang.

The Infinite was speeding along the tracks on the shore of Lake Shijiu, returning toward the direction of Hengshanguan City.

Upon learning that there was a full-function life-support surgical medical pod on the train, the personnel in every carriage were incredibly excited. In this eerie, suffocating apocalypse, possessing a precious medical system within a mobile steel fortress was simply an incomparably exhilarating thing.

One had to know that before this, a common external injury without medication could very likely lead to bacterial infection and death, or force one to endure the pain of dark erosion, leading to mutation into a zombie or a human-ghost.

In Carriage 4, the soil-less cultivation pod and the plant cultivation pod had been completely set up. Ding Junyi was currently leading several assistants in starting plant breeding. This matter was not actually at the top of Ding Junyi's priority list, but because of Lin Xian's request, she set aside her research on the Foundation's institute data and chose to push this matter forward first.

From Ding Junyi's perspective, Lin Xian's decisions were all meaningful and necessary. On this point, she rarely used her rational perspective to view them.

In front of the cultivation pod, Ding Junyi leaned over to look at the nutrient soil inside the glass pod, adjusted her glasses, and finished the basic work. The assistants had already left, and Ding Junyi was now using a mobile terminal to carefully record the logs.

"The interior of the train is unaffected by dark erosion; perhaps plant growth will benefit from this."

Ding Junyi mused to herself. Just as she was about to turn and leave, her peripheral vision seemed to catch something, and she turned back to look at the soil in the cultivation pod.

In one of the planting areas, the loose soil seemed to move slightly. This discovery immediately made Ding Junyi cautious.

Any unreasonable biological phenomenon, in her view, could be related to dark mutation, which could very likely lead to the destruction of the safe environment inside the train. After the thought of the abnormality flashed through her mind, she immediately turned back to observe carefully, not missing any minute changes.

"Box 12A, lettuce seeds..."

Just as Ding Junyi stared, the loose soil moved again. This time, Ding Junyi saw a tender white sprout push through the soil and appear in her line of sight.

Seeing this, Ding Junyi's brow furrowed, and she realized the severity of the situation.

The cold wind intensified, and the temperature dropped by several degrees overnight. This extremely abnormal change in temperature caused large swaths of green vegetation in the lake-side mountain marshes to die off. The world turned withered and yellow, life faded, and it gradually moved toward a wasteland.

Lin Xian was currently standing on the roof of Carriage 1, gazing into the distance at Lake Shijiu. The wind was gentle, and the vast water surface sparkled in the sunlight. If not for knowing that there was a giant abyss monster a thousand meters deep under the water, this former tourist attraction would have looked incomparably pleasant.

However, Lin Xian didn't come up to look at the scenery, but to test his newly acquired skill.

"Gravity Lens, it sounds very impressive, but I don't know what the actual effect will be."

This was the only skill description he didn't quite understand.

Lin Xian took a deep breath, raised his hand, and activated the skill directly toward the sky in the distance.

Gravity Lens!

As the skill was activated, Lin Xian's expression suddenly changed drastically, because at this very moment, he felt his physical strength being rapidly drained and stripped away. A huge sense of exhaustion hit him like a collapsing mountain, causing Lin Xian's face to turn pale.

Hiss~

He gasped. At this moment, he looked up and saw a patch of space high in the sky, about a hundred meters up, rapidly becoming distorted. In an instant, the space began to show a dazzling halo.

At this moment, the scorching area seemed to distort the sunlight along with it, becoming brighter and brighter. Then, in the next instant, a scorching ray about the thickness of a water bucket shot down toward the lake surface!

Boom!

The high temperature of the light ray caused a wide patch of water surface to evaporate instantly, and a large amount of white water vapor rose up!

Lin Xian was stunned as he watched this, and as his finger moved, the ray suddenly swept horizontally toward the direction of the train.

"Damn it!"

Hum!

He immediately prepared to stop the gesture, but it was too late. The scorching white ray swept across from the water surface toward the land, missing the front of the Infinite Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive by a hair's breadth!

Only then did Lin Xian finally exhaust his strength and deactivate the Gravity Lens.

At this moment, he was covered in cold sweat. Looking at the path the train had passed, a scorched black path about a meter wide had been swept out for several hundred meters, and the ground seemed to have been shaved off by a palm's thickness. He was simultaneously terrified and fearful.

"Damn it, I almost sliced the train!"

Lin Xian looked at his palm in horror, secretly thinking that this Gravity Lens was simply too awesome; its power was completely crushing compared to all his previous skills!

"The only problem is that it consumes too much physical strength." Lin Xian sat on the roof of the train, panting continuously. In just these short two seconds, he felt a huge sense of exhaustion, as if he had been tossed around by twenty women all night. It was simply terrifying!

"If I were at full strength, I should be able to hold it for 3-5 seconds."

Lin Xian pondered. After using it, he understood how to use this skill. It was indeed as described, capable of distorting the light in a space.

"It seems to be aggregating sunlight into extremely high energy..."

"Hmm." Lin Xian was quite proud at this moment, looking at his fingers: "With this skill, I will have a high-damage skill to use when encountering strange entities at night."

Thinking of this, his expression froze, and he asked himself:

"Wait, at night... is there a sun?"

"It seems not."

"Then can this skill use that move just now when there is no sun?"

"It seems absolutely impossible."

At this moment, Lin Xian suddenly fell silent.

An extremely absurd thought surged in his heart, giving him the feeling of having invented a solar-powered flashlight.

"Impossible, impossible..." Lin Xian pinched his swollen trigeminal nerve and denied it inwardly: "It must be that I haven't found the correct way to use it. If it can only be used during the day, then this skill is really too pit-worthy."

Moreover, with the expansion of the Star Abyss, the daytime would only become shorter and shorter. If that were the case, he would have even fewer opportunities to use it.

"It seems I can only find an opportunity to test it again." Lin Xian was exhausted at this moment. This skill consumed too much physical strength; a mere few seconds might require several hours of rest to recover. Looking at it this way, the cost of testing was too high, and it couldn't be used during combat. If it didn't work and he wasted his physical strength and died, such an operation would be equivalent to being brain-dead.

Lin Xian stood up. Fortunately, he was still wearing his power armor, so he wasn't completely out of strength. Taking advantage of the fact that they hadn't reached Hengshanguan yet, Lin Xian returned to the carriage, took a shower, drank a large bottle of water, and ate something. After recovering a little strength, he prepared to go to the nuclear power carriage to find Chen Sixuan. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the mysterious containment device brought back from the Foundation.

After Dalou brought it back, Lin Xian placed it in a corner of Carriage 1. Lin Xian sensed it; after adding a layer of lead-sealed metal box, it would only affect his physical functions when he was very close. However, for the sake of safety, Lin Xian still prepared to put this thing in the shielded compartment of the nuclear power carriage for safekeeping.

Clang.

Lin Xian opened the metal box. The containment device inside emitted a red faint light. He triggered the matrix password light screen above it, thought for a moment, and then entered all '0's.

【Incorrect Password】

【Time limit for reopening: 23:59:59】

Seeing this, Lin Xian's brow furrowed: "Damn, only one chance to enter the password per day, so strict?"

After returning, Kiki also tried to unlock it with a computer, but she worked for half a day and couldn't open it either.

Looking at it this way, it really seemed like some kind of important item, not a trap. And under Lin Xian's mechanical scan, this device was indeed just a simple containment machine. Apart from the contents inside, there was nothing special.

However, Lin Xian remained suspicious of this. He didn't believe that such an important item would be lost. If it weren't for the special echo from his Mechanical Heart, Lin Xian would never have brought such a suspicious thing onto the train.

But now there seemed to be no clues. Lin Xian thought for a moment, directly put his hand on it, and prepared to use Mechanical Devour to see if he could directly devour the containment device.

【Devour progress 10%】

But as soon as he started devouring, Lin Xian immediately stopped. Because the volume of this containment device was not large, and his Mechanical Devour had now reached level 4, he could devour it in almost a few minutes. So Lin Xian immediately hesitated.

"What exactly is inside this thing that would cause my Mechanical Heart to react?"

This kind of strange situation was the first time for Lin Xian. So this made him incomparably curious.

After studying it for a while, there was no special discovery, so Lin Xian simply closed the metal box, drove the power armor to carry it, and prepared to lift it to Carriage 12 for storage, waiting for an opportunity to deal with it later.

"Lin Xian."

When passing Carriage 4, Ding Junyi, who was buried in studying green plants, straightened up and called him.

"What's wrong?"

"I seem to have discovered the characteristics of my ability." Ding Junyi adjusted her glasses and said seriously.

Hearing this, Lin Xian immediately put down the metal box in his hand and walked over: "What is it?"

Ding Junyi turned to the side and signaled to the cultivation pod behind her. Inside, three tender green seedlings had broken through the soil and grown a finger high. That touch of emerald green looked particularly abrupt on the train.

Lin Xian looked and was pleasantly surprised: "Grown so fast?"

Ding Junyi looked at her watch and said: "To be precise, from planting the seeds to this stage, only 20 minutes have passed."

Lin Xian's eyes widened: "Huh?"

"I discovered that my mental attention seems to be able to capture the aura of these plants, so I tried to increase this gaze and affinity. The result was that these three plants grew rapidly at a speed that exceeded the logic of plant growth. This is already the limit of what I can do at present, but it also confirms that my ability should be related to plant growth." Ding Junyi said this seriously. It sounded like she wasn't too shocked by the discovery of her ability, but instead used an analytical tone to say to Lin Xian:

"Looking at it this way, your decision to have me work on green vegetable planting is very visionary. In addition, in the Federation's ability research, this ability of mine should also be the first discovery. I have also analyzed the characteristics of this ability. From a functional perspective, this ability might be of some help to the survival of our train, but for combat and defense, it shouldn't be of any help."

Lin Xian was dumbfounded. He walked up in one step, grabbed Ding Junyi's shoulders, and said in an incredulous tone: "Of no help? Are you kidding me, Director Ding? Do you know how heaven-defying your ability is?!"

Lin Xian felt like he was exploding. He said loudly: "Plant growth ability, in a shallow sense, is a creative attribute that combines survival and assistance. But now it is the end of the world, and the darkness has caused global plants to wither and go extinct. In the future of stepping into the wasteland, having such an ability, in a high sense, is not an exaggeration to call it the Mother of Life!!"

For the Chinese people with farming genes deeply rooted in their blood, how could this ability only be of 'a little' help?

You are too modest.

Ding Junyi didn't expect Lin Xian to be so excited. Being grabbed so fiercely, she didn't react for a while.

Hearing Lin Xian's words now, she began to come to her senses, opened her mouth, and she, who had always been calm, began to speak incoherently: "This... it seems, theoretically... um, it seems so."

Lin Xian's face was excited. He looked at Ding Junyi and said: "Director Ding, you must explore this ability of yours well. This Carriage 4 can completely serve as your ability practice base or testing ground. I think your ability must have very broad potential to be explored!"

Ding Junyi's chest rose and fell rapidly as she adjusted her breathing. Then she quickly calmed down. She looked at Lin Xian and nodded: "You are right. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions so early. Perhaps there are many other characteristics waiting for me to discover."

"Definitely."

Lin Xian was overjoyed. Plant growth, he could even imagine countless development paths at this moment. Hundreds of millions of plants on Blue Star, countless characteristics, just from the perspective of survival, it represented almost infinite food supply. And most importantly:

Fresh food!!

Based on this point alone, Director Ding could probably be the Minister of Global Food Supply for the Phoenix Society without any problems. Such a heaven-defying ability, and she didn't take it seriously?

A treasure, I picked up a ghost.

"By the way," Lin Xian's face suddenly became serious: "Director Ding, from now on, it is best to only use your ability on the train. Do not show it to the outside."

His mechanical manufacturing ability was displayed at the airport, and he was quickly targeted by organizations like the Foundation. He dared not imagine how much attention would be brought if Director Ding's ability were known by others.

Now Lin Xian had not fully reached a cooperation with the Phoenix Society, and there were many different factions among the global survivors. So Lin Xian didn't want to expose Ding Junyi's ability too early, as it might bring many unnecessary troubles to the Infinite.

"I understand."

Ding Junyi looked down at Lin Xian's hand that was gripping her shoulder tighter and tighter, and her gaze lifted to look at him, carrying a few inexplicable meanings.

Lin Xian's brow furrowed. He immediately understood this look. It said:

'If you squeeze tighter, I will like it very much.'

He immediately let go. Otherwise, Lin Xian felt that the way this scientific research-type masochistic woman was looking at him was almost about to draw silk.

"Come on, Director Ding, I am optimistic about you." Lin Xian looked at her with clear eyes, then nodded to Ding Junyi, and then picked up the metal box and left directly.

Ding Junyi watched Lin Xian's departing back, and a rare breeze-like smile appeared on her slightly hot face.

"So man."

Lin Xian walked through and came to Carriage 12. He found an empty fuel rod storage box and put the metal box inside. With the double insurance, the functional inhibition effect brought by the heavy suspension liquid was finally completely shielded.

Chen Sixuan saw Lin Xian come in and said to him: "What's wrong with you? You were fine just now, why do you look so much more exhausted again."

"Just used my mechanical ability." Lin Xian didn't hide it from Chen Sixuan and said directly: "But it's okay, it has no effect."

Chen Sixuan looked at him with slight worry, and then said: "You should also pay attention to your body. You were gone all night last night, and everyone was very worried about your safety."

Lin Xian walked over, held Chen Sixuan's hand, and said: "I will try not to take such risks in the future."

"Kiki's ability is very powerful, you should have brought her." Chen Sixuan looked at him: "We have experienced so many life-and-death situations together, and we are not short of this night of rest."

"You forgot, she has a level 3 mark on her. In this situation, I definitely couldn't bring her to encounter danger everywhere."

Chen Sixuan's expression dimmed: "That's true, almost forgot about this. Hey... this kind of mark simply treats us humans like toys."

After speaking, she raised her head and looked at Lin Xian with watery eyes, her expression somewhat firm: "You... you can actually bring me next time. I think I can protect you too."

"Okay." Lin Xian smiled, feeling a warmth in his heart, and pulled Chen Sixuan into his arms without saying much more.

Just by hugging like this, Lin Xian could feel the exhaustion being swept away by more than half.

"We are about to enter the city."

Hearing the sound of the train merging onto the tracks, Chen Sixuan hurriedly escaped from Lin Xian's arms and looked ahead: "The intersection is not very smooth. We fought quite fiercely last night."

Lin Xian looked over. The tracks ahead were full of the crushed corpses of various black-winged sheath insects and a large number of zombies. The iron nets and protective walls on both sides of the tracks were covered with bullet holes and splattered green insect juice and zombie plasma. Dense swarms of flies flew everywhere, and the scene was extremely tragic.

The Infinite slowed down a bit, and not long after, it saw the Hengshanguan station where it had stopped before from afar. At a glance, the steel top screen of the station had collapsed by more than half. And as the train slowly approached, a more tragic scene began to enter the field of vision.

The entire station and tracks were full of the corpses of various survivors, with severed limbs and arms everywhere. A black centipede's corpse, riddled with holes, lay across several tracks. In addition, there were giant mist spiders, white monsters with their upper bodies blown away, two wing-sheath insects the size of cars, a three-headed spider monster that had completely shattered, and even a red human monster's severed arm stuck on a truck cockpit...

At a glance, it was extremely tragic.

Chen Sixuan, who had already seen quite a few bloody scenes, also had a heavy face at this moment.

Lin Xian's gaze swept over. In the entire station, he could hardly see any intact weapons or cars. Even the green-skinned train, the Night Charm, had derailed in the station, with several carriages overturned and filled with various corpses, but the locomotive was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Xian's brow furrowed: "Seems like someone has already come to clean up the battlefield."

That driving locomotive of the Night Charm was a small nuclear-powered engine from the Ring Star mining series. If it were there, Lin Xian would definitely have taken it without hesitation. Just devouring the nuclear power engine had brought him quite a few benefits. Although this engine locomotive couldn't compare to the 'Night Star 2' nuclear-powered turbine processor of the Dragon transport plane, it was still much better than ordinary electric locomotives.

However, it was clear that the great battle at Hengshanguan last night must have attracted the attention of many survivor shelter outposts around, and perhaps there were also convoys passing by on other track lines. Whoever it was, they had already taken a step ahead of them.

This kind of behavior was actually not shameful; all survivor convoys were purely for the instinct of survival.

"Are we going to stop here?" Chen Sixuan looked at this scene with a frown and asked Lin Xian.

Lin Xian shook his head: "Drive forward, find an open space to stop. I want to prepare the train to deal with the situation tonight!"

Bang bang!

The Infinite knocked away several car frames lying on the tracks and accelerated directly through this destroyed station. Not long after, it arrived at a freight track platform in Hengshanguan, and the Infinite switched off the main line and stopped inside.

In the freight track station under the sunlight, there were zombies wandering everywhere. Hearing the trembling sound of the ground train, they rushed over from all directions.

There were quite a few empty carriages parked in the entire freight track station, most of which were already rusty, and even the weeds had withered.

In some abandoned houses by the road, porcelain cabinets had fallen into the pits of rotten floors, plates were still neatly stacked in the cabinets, and yellowed baby carriages were soaked in puddles. Everywhere was filled with a desolate and empty taste.

"The Apocalypse Day has passed for so long. The places we go to in the future will definitely become more and more desolate."

Lin Xian's gaze swept over: "I remember a documentary I once watched called 'After Humans Disappear', which talks about how if humans disappear for three months, animals and plants will gradually occupy human cities. The only difference is that in such a natural disaster, animals and plants are also hard to be spared. Now we can still find some traces of living people. If it were many years later, it would probably be a wasteland."

"Many years?" Chen Sixuan's gaze was gloomy: "Didn't the Phoenix Society say we only have one year left."

Hiss!

Lin Xian operated the Infinite to brake and slowly stopped the train, then looked at Chen Sixuan and said: "Darkness will not be the end of humanity, it will only be the eve of the burning of sparks."

"Sasha, Huo Ge, Miao Lu, clean up the station and establish a temporary camp!"

"Teacher Chen, you and Dalou take people to check and clean the train."

"Shu Qin, Lv Chang, split into two teams to check the situation in the direction of the city exit on the north and east lines."

"Kiki." Lin Xian gave orders through the communicator while quickly coming to Carriage 2 and saying to Kiki: "Come with me, we are going to find an acquaintance."

Under Lin Xian's arrangement, everyone on the Infinite quickly began to take action. Each shooting port opened, firearms fired, and they quickly cleared the swarming zombies.

Boom!

On the roof of the train, Lu Xingchen leisurely swept his sword finger, and a large amount of sprayed flames burned the corpse swarm surrounding the train to ashes. Not long after, all the zombies in the entire freight station were cleared. Miao Lu led several small teams to quickly establish sentry points on various walls and high towers to observe, and a small train camp was established.

Shu Qin, Lv Chang, and Lin Xian rode out on three motorcycles on different routes, while Chen Sixuan and Dalou began to clean and repair the train.

After a period of running-in, the team of the Infinite had begun to have a clear division of positions.

Chen Sixuan was mainly responsible for the train's internal affairs, driving, navigation, and long-range sniping.

Shu Qin and Lv Chang, because they had the best skills and were agile, mainly acted as a rapid response team for reconnaissance, searching, and observing terrain.

Miao Lu and Dalou acted as Chen Sixuan's internal and external assistants, mostly for parking defense, repairing the train, and inventorying supplies.

Lu Xingchen acted as the main combat force for guarding the train. Although he liked to sunbathe most of the time, Sasha would often take him to search for some supplies near the camp.

Lin Xian and Kiki's combination mainly carried out work outside. Both of them had strong mobility and combat power, and they cooperated very tacitly, escaping from life-and-death crises many times, so generally, they wouldn't bring more people.

On Lin Xian's side, the motorcycle sped all the way, accelerating continuously toward a certain direction in the city.

"Are you so sure that Hu Lushou participated in the Foundation's human experiments and won, or are you guessing?" On the way, Kiki was very curious.

Lin Xian's gaze was deep: "Didn't you notice that among his convoy, the main vehicles are standard SU65 wheeled armored vehicles? Although the paint was changed, at first I thought they were the Federation's assets on the transport plane, but later I found out they weren't. On the contrary, the model of the armored vehicle Hu Lushou was sitting in is the same model as the one Hua Xiaoling from the SIID Foundation institute was riding in. I noticed this point before and thought it was a coincidence, but after looking at the supplies that the winners of that death game could take away, I confirmed this point."

!

"Strange, since winning the game can really take away so many supplies, how did that Tan Meng die?"

Lin Xian looked at a huge gymnasium ahead and began to accelerate the motorcycle, saying sternly:

"Only he knows that."

Hengshanguan Gymnasium.

The entrance here was sealed layer by layer with iron wire gates, and quite a few armed sentries were staring at each exit.

Inside the spacious stadium, more than twenty off-road vehicles surrounded several heavy trucks, and a camp was set up in the middle, with campfires and canopies. Hu Lushou was currently holding a sausage, roasting it on the fire for a few turns, then took a bite by his mouth. It was piping hot and oily, and he hurriedly gasped for air: "So hot, so hot."

Setting up camp in a flat place was a method derived by the Federation Garrison after countless nights. To prevent sudden attacks by strange entities, finding flat terrain at night would make the field of vision wider, and sudden attacks could be prevented. This method was now also learned by many survivor convoys.

Although this gymnasium was only a temporary camp for them, every entrance was arranged for people to take turns on duty. The main point was to be safe and careful.

His bodyguard, Sun Chang, was next to him, taking off her mechanical arm and silently wiping the parts of the joints.

Clang clang~

At this moment, the walkie-talkie suddenly rang, and the voice of a subordinate came from inside: "Boss Hu, the captain of that Infinite convoy has brought people over."

Hearing this, Hu Lushou stood up abruptly, almost choked by the sausage he had just swallowed: "What?"

He immediately looked at Sun Chang on the side: "Didn't they run away last night? Why are they back?"

"I'm afraid they have bad intentions!"

Sun Chang clanged her mechanical arm on and stood up with a fierce aura.

Hu Lushou's face was uncertain. He pressed the walkie-talkie and said: "How many people did they bring?"

"They only have two people, saying they are here to talk about cooperation." The little brother on the other end of the walkie-talkie said.

"Two people?" Hu Lushou and Sun Chang looked at each other. He frowned: "What does this mean?"

"Could there be an ambush?" Sun Chang asked immediately.

Hu Lushou looked strange: "Ambush, who would come to ambush at the door, and bring only two people in broad daylight?"

"Don't forget, their convoy has very powerful ability users!" Sun Chang said sternly: "If we really fight, we might not be their opponents."

Hu Lushou naturally knew that. He saw yesterday that although this convoy didn't have many people, it was full of hidden talents, with at least three or four ability users, and there were heavy weapons on the train. Although his Fulu Shou convoy was strong and well-equipped, he didn't have any confidence if they really fought.

At this moment, Hu Lushou's expression changed rapidly, constantly pondering:

"Damn, they really found us."

"Are you preparing to use force?" Sun Chang's gaze carried killing intent.

Hu Lushou pondered for a while, raised his hand: "Let's see first. We haven't reached the point of seeing blood with them, otherwise they wouldn't have let us go yesterday."

After speaking, he picked up the walkie-talkie: "Let them in, you guys watch the surroundings and see if there are any other people."

"Okay."

After giving instructions, Hu Lushou gave Sun Chang a wink.

Sun Chang nodded, greeted several subordinates, and returned to the car to ambush.

Soon, the sound of a motorcycle came from near to far. Hu Lushou's convoy people raised their guns to aim, and the motorcycle drove directly across the withered grass of the stadium and into the convoy.

"Oh, it's Brother Lin. What's the matter with finding your brother?" Hu Lushou saw Lin Xian and immediately put on a fawning expression, laughing and greeting him.

"Last night we were attacked by a large-scale strange entity at Hengshanguan station. I want to ask if you know about it?" Lin Xian and Kiki walked over quickly and went straight to the point as soon as they met.

"This..." Hu Lushou's eyes changed, and he said seriously: "I'm afraid many survivor camps in the city heard the movement. I was thinking of supporting them last night, but I also encountered trouble here..."

Blowing without drafting, Lin Xian was amused as soon as he heard it. This profiteer even wanted to support them; he wouldn't believe it even if he lied to a ghost.

"What are you in a hurry for?"

Kiki said: "We are here to inquire about news and buy things by the way. Why are you pointing guns at us? Is this how you do business?"

She crossed her arms, directly raised her finger and waved, and the guns pointed by the little brothers around Hu Lushou flew into the air with a clatter. Those people hurriedly started jumping and wanting to grab the guns back, and the scene looked a bit funny.

Hiss, hum!

Sun Chang behind Hu Lushou stepped out, electric arcs flickered on her mechanical arm, and a strong aura rushed toward them.

Hu Lushou heard this and hurriedly reached out to block in front of Sun Chang, looking at Lin Xian and Kiki, his face put away that fake smile, and said: "Buy things?"

"Of course I'm looking for you to buy things."

Lin Xian said coldly.

"No, brother, you've almost bought all the food I have here. You have to leave some for us to have a way to live." Hu Lushou smiled helplessly and said directly.

Lin Xian's gaze swept over the people around, then signaled Kiki with a wink.

Snap.

Kiki snapped her fingers, and those guns fell down one after another. Seeing this scene, Hu Lushou hurriedly waved his hand to let the little brothers take the guns and leave. Looking at Kiki at this moment, his eyes were full of fear.

This kind of ability looked too powerful, and ordinary evolvers seemed to have no power to fight back at all.

So Hu Lushou could only set a good posture, trying not to cause a conflict between the two sides.

"This time it's not food, I want to buy some supplies that can keep out the cold." Lin Xian saw the other party withdraw people and explained his intention directly: "In addition, I also want to ask you about something."

"Cold-weather supplies? Are you going to take the northeast line?" Hu Lushou reacted immediately.

Lin Xian nodded: "More or less."

"This, we do have some, but..." Hu Lushou looked at Lin Xian somewhat embarrassedly: "These things are relatively tight now, and they can't be exchanged for Starfire rifles anymore."

"Why? Didn't you want to collect them all yesterday?" Kiki laughed somewhat gloatingly.

Hu Lushou heard this and immediately had a headache, hurriedly begging for mercy: "I was wrong, I was really wrong, two big bosses, I really didn't know you were running a military factory. If I knew, I would have died and wouldn't have come to clear your warehouse. Now I have so many automatic rifles here, four or five in everyone's hands. They are too short to be used as crutches and too long to be used as chopsticks. Last night, strange entities broke out, and many survivors around ran away as soon as it was dawn. I don't know who to sell them to now!"

Lin Xian's gaze swept over, looking at Sun Chang behind him, and then said to Hu Lushou: "Boss Hu, your people picked up quite a lot of supplies from those unlucky convoys at the station."

Hu Lushou's face froze: "You... how do you know?"

Kiki picked up a walkie-talkie and pressed it meaningfully: "The communication equipment we sold was picked up by you. You searched quite carefully."

Hu Lushou's face changed drastically, he took two steps back, and hurriedly waved his hand:

"This, this attack has nothing to do with us, and people are dead. It is reasonable for survivors from all walks of life to pick up supplies. Everyone is doing it for survival!"

Lin Xian saw his reaction and frowned: "Did we say it had anything to do with you?"

"Uh..."

Hu Lushou heard Lin Xian's words and breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh brother, you scared me to death. I thought you were here for revenge. Hey, speaking of which, I would like to ask, what did you encounter last night? Why was it so miserable?"

"A large-scale night strange entity attack. I suspect this is not a coincidence and may be related to a certain organization force." Lin Xian said bluntly.

"Organization? What does it have to do with strange entities?"

"Not very clear." Lin Xian looked at Hu Lushou and Sun Chang and said meaningfully: "But I know there is a mysterious institute in Qing Shui Town called the Foundation organization. Have you heard of it?"

Hu Lushou's face changed drastically when he heard this, and Sun Chang beside him also frowned fiercely.

"Institute? Never heard of it." He squeezed out a smile: "Why do you think I know?"

"Don't pretend." Kiki said directly: "We know you are the deputy captain of the Yunxiang, and we also know you have been to that institute. We came to you to exchange information, there is no need to play dumb."

The smile on Hu Lushou's face froze instantly. He and Sun Chang looked at each other, and then their faces began to turn cold.

Sun Chang looked at Lin Xian: "What is your purpose in finding us?"

"We went to that institute yesterday, and we also know about the 'Hatter's' death game. Now this institute is empty."

Lin Xian said directly: "So my purpose in finding you is very simple. Besides buying things, I want to know some information about that institute. I don't know if you know a woman named Tan Meng."

"What? That institute is gone?" Hu Lushou was very shocked when he heard this.

Seeing Hu Lushou's reaction, Lin Xian and Kiki were now certain that their guess was correct.

"Should have run away, don't know the specific situation." Lin Xian didn't want to talk nonsense, so he simply told the other party about the situation of the institute.

Hu Lushou's expression was very complicated after learning the situation. He was silent for a while, then looked at Lin Xian.

"Were you invited to enter the institute? Why?"

"Now I am asking you." Lin Xian lost his patience: "Can you be more straightforward?"

Hu Lushou curled his lips, hesitated for a moment, and said directly:

"Yes, I was indeed the deputy captain of the Yunxiang before. At that time, we encountered an aerial strange entity and made an emergency landing in a forest outside Qing Shui Town, but we hit an invisible building and crashed into Qing Shui Town. When I woke up, I was already in that institute..."

Hu Lushou showed his cards directly. He rolled his eyes and looked at Lin Xian: "What do you want to know? But let's make it clear, my information is for a fee, including the cold-weather supplies you want to buy, but I don't want automatic rifles."

"What do you want?" Lin Xian asked.

"Large-caliber weapons, 1130 close-in defense guns, Gatling electric rotary machine guns, and the power armor on your body." Hu Lushou opened his mouth like a lion.

Lin Xian laughed directly when he heard this: "You want to exchange so many things for one piece of information?"

"Robbery!" Kiki stepped forward and was ready to pinch Hu Lushou.

Hu Lushou hurriedly retreated from the chair and waved his hands frantically: "No, no, no, I mean, I only value these things for exchange, not that I want all of them."

"Gatling is fine, the others forget it, they are not worth that much money." Lin Xian naturally saw that Hu Lushou was just testing. How could he really exchange 1130 with him? Although he was very greedy, Hu Lushou knew that the only thing he could exchange was the Gatling machine gun, so he said so on purpose.

"Really?" Hu Lushou's eyes lit up. He was still very interested in this kind of heavy firepower weapon. If he had one, the combat power of his convoy would be greatly enhanced, and ordinary C-level strange entities would be difficult to block.

"Yes, I will exchange one for information, and three for the cold-weather supplies for 30 people. Federation standard cold-proof clothing, body temperature maintenance devices, thick quilts, snow goggles, snow boots, and 6,000 rounds of ammunition. How about it?"

Hu Lushou and Sun Chang were stunned when they heard this.

4 Gatlings, if they were equipped, it would be a super-strong firepower, not inferior to a company-level heavy firepower projection.

Hu Lushou felt his heart skip a beat and gasped excitedly:

"You have so many Gatlings?"

"Do you want to exchange or not? Stop talking nonsense."

"Exchange!" Hu Lushou shouted immediately.

"Okay, speak." Lin Xian sat on the chair and gestured to Hu Lushou, signaling that he could start.

"Say what?"

Hu Lushou was stunned. An autumn wind blew past. He looked at Lin Xian: "Brother, you haven't taken out the things yet. You wouldn't be trying to owe the debt, would you?"

He looked around. The other party only rode a motorcycle here, and they didn't look like they had 4 Gatlings at all.

Kiki next to Lin Xian didn't have the posture of taking things out either, and the two of them looked at him as if they were preparing to eat a free meal.

Good guy, this is treating him like a monkey.

So Hu Lushou's face turned cold immediately.

"Are you playing with me?"

Lin Xian looked at Hu Lushou and took a breath. Then, he suddenly raised his hand.

This action of his immediately frightened Hu Lushou. At the same time, several people suddenly drilled out from the corners, holding guns, and Sun Chang suddenly jumped out, the mechanical arm in her hand flashing with electric light.

Hum!

At this moment, Kiki suddenly made a move, using a shockwave to blow several people away, snatching the guns from their hands, and at the same time stretched out her left hand to grab Sun Chang in the air.

But that Sun Chang had great strength. At the elbow of her mechanical arm, flames suddenly sprayed, and the huge counter-thrust made her break free from Kiki's restraint in one go, punching Kiki.

Bang!

But at this moment, a heavy iron door suddenly appeared in front of Kiki. Sun Chang's punch hit it, causing a huge dent, while Kiki stood behind, completely unharmed.

"Stop!"

Just when Sun Chang was preparing for the next move, Hu Lushou suddenly called out to her.

In his gaze, Lin Xian did not launch an attack on him. His right hand created a heavy iron wall in front of Kiki, and his left hand's light screen, countless materials flew out, forged, and assembled. Soon, a Gatling electric rotary machine gun was assembled.

Clang~, carrying a scorching aura, this heavy firepower Gatling fell directly in front of Hu Lushou.

The more Hu Lushou looked, the more wonderful his face became. Surprise, shock, fear, and even a kind of sudden realization.

"This... this..."

"Don't you want a Gatling?" Lin Xian's eyes flickered: "Give me 20 minutes."

Because he had prepared material preparation in advance, his manufacturing speed was now extremely fast. Soon, four brand-new Gatlings fell in front of Hu Lushou.

"What kind of ability is this?!" Sun Chang was incredulous: "You can actually manufacture weapons out of thin air!?"

Lin Xian glanced at Sun Chang's mechanical arm and said: "That mechanical arm of yours is not bad. Give me some time and I can build one for you too."
