Chapter 253: Snow Realm (Happy Spring Festival, seeking the first monthly ticket of the New Year)

Woo~ hoo hoo~

The howling cold wind did not stop. Lin Xian devoured all the cars he could dig out and gained a lot of materials. The snow bags that were protruding in the snow were all gone at this time, and those who had died in the convoy were buried in the deep snow, disappearing and hiding under this natural disaster.

Returning to the train, Chen Sixuan had already woken up. Seeing Lin Xian return from the outside, she immediately guessed that he went to devour the cars of that convoy.

"Do you want to eat something? It's so cold outside."

Lin Xian nodded. The cold feeling of returning to the train disappeared immediately. He knew that this was not only cold, but also the fear power hidden in the heavy snow. At this time, it was shielded by the Isomorphic Rubik's Cube.

"Did you hear the sound just now?" Lin Xian asked.

Chen Sixuan nodded: "Many people were awakened, but it seems nothing happened. Is it an earthquake?"

"It's possible, but I feel it might be some kind of creature."

"Creature?" Chen Sixuan's face changed: "What do you think it is?"

Lin Xian shook his head: "I don't know, I can only take more precautions. Since many people are awake, let's arrange food, so we can set off and leave here quickly."

"Mm." Chen Sixuan immediately responded.

Seeing that Chen Sixuan's mental state was very good at this time, Lin Xian said immediately: "I feel you have changed a lot."

"Change?" Chen Sixuan was taking things from the storage cabinet of Carriage No. 1. Hearing Lin Xian's words, she turned her head: "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Overall, at least not looking as weak as before."

"Really?"

At this time, a can suddenly slipped from the top of her head. Chen Sixuan reached out and caught it calmly in the air without looking back, but her eyes kept looking at Lin Xian and asked suspiciously: "Why don't I feel it? How did you see it?"

Lin Xian:......

A night of cold, before dawn, the train was already brightly lit. In order to drive away the cold and also to adjust the mentality of the team members who were tense all day yesterday, Lin Xian directly let Chen Sixuan, Xiao Yuan, and Miao Lu prepare hot food for the whole train to warm their bodies.

"Xiao Yuan, help me get a box of canned braised pork."

In the dining car, Chen Sixuan and everyone were busy.

"Team Leader Chen, this, this..." Miao Lu ran into the dining car carefully holding a cluster of green things at this time. She handed it to Chen Sixuan and said: "Look, this is the celery grown by Director Ding. A few have matured. Team Leader Lin asked us to cook it in the soup."

"Wow!"

"Really?"

Hearing this, the busy men and women in the dining car gathered around in surprise. At this time, the cluster of emerald green in Miao Lu's hand made everyone who hadn't seen fresh food for a long time feel a new look.

Chen Sixuan walked over happily, looking at the clean roots of the celery and a fresh smell, and couldn't help but take it over: "Growing so fast, great, we have vegetable soup to drink today."

Fresh vegetables, this word seemed to have become a strange word for everyone on the Infinite. Under the black rain, plants were extinct on a large scale. Except for the survivors who escaped at the beginning who could still collect some wild green vegetables and fruits on the road, these crops gradually began to fade out of the survivors' field of vision.

Planting requires cultivated land or greenhouses, which is time-consuming and laborious and cannot be solved by these fugitives at all. And fresh agricultural products are difficult to preserve. Except for air-drying or pickling, only rotting remains. So as the days passed, fresh food that could be seen became less and less. For survivors, this is completely a luxury.

And this cluster of fresh celery produced from Carriage No. 4 made everyone feel a breath of life-cleansing vitality at once. In this apocalyptic cold winter, there was a bit more motivation for survival. For a time, the atmosphere in the dining car was high, and everyone chatted about past life, from food, hobbies to life, and the depression of spending the desperate winter night was swept away a lot.

Time came to 8 o'clock in the morning. Except for those on shift, everyone had woken up, and the temperature in the carriage began to rise by a few degrees with people's activities.

Lin Xian ate a steaming breakfast with everyone, feeling full of vitality in his abdomen. Not long after, he summoned the backbone to Carriage No. 2 to discuss today's itinerary.

"Teacher Chen, Shu Qin."

Lin Xian first gave the two newly built power armors to the two: "This is what I manufactured last night. Give it to you two first, try it out, and you should be able to adapt quickly after activating the system."

"Wow, power armor!"

Shasha's eyes lit up immediately when she saw it: "Brother Lin, are we finally going to wear this?"

Lin Xian looked at her speechlessly: "You already have a big mecha, do you still need this?"

"Uh~ hehe." Shasha giggled: "I just want to experience it."

"Think beautifully~" kiki sat on the swivel chair and pulled Shasha over to knead her cold face. Looking at the two sets of power armor manufactured by Lin Xian, kiki nodded happily: "Not bad, you actually built two sets in one night, it's really hard work."

Chen Sixuan and Shu Qin were very surprised.

"This... do I need to wear this?" Chen Sixuan looked at the power armor in front of her and said: "Or, give it to others first? I spend most of my time on the train."

Shu Qin also said: "Team Leader Lin, I think it's best to give it to kiki and Brother Fire first. They are espers and main combat forces..."

"Oh, just use it if you are told to."

kiki sat on the swivel chair with a smile. She knew Lin Xian's intention, so she said directly to the two:

"This kind of power armor mainly improves your mobility. You are gene evolvers. Using this kind of power armor can be said to be adding wings to a tiger. Although I also want to play, to be honest, it doesn't help me much. I can fly, so where do I need to run or jump? As for Brother Fire, he can't use it either. What if it burns?"

"Not bad." Lu Xingchen leaned against the side of the carriage and nodded in agreement: "This kind of power armor will instead limit the performance of this deity, not practical."

"Everyone will have one later."

Lin Xian said directly at this time: "As a mechanical esper, my goal is to mechanize and arm the Infinite, whether it is people or cars, but it must be done step by step."

He said, looking at Shu Qin and Chen Sixuan: "As backbone members, you can use it first. You can teach others after you are proficient later. I will continue to upgrade and manufacture this kind of power armor, and its functions will become more and more powerful. As for other espers, I have other plans. For example, Brother Fire, I heard Director Ding mention that the interstellar military has a nano-carbon ceramic alloy, which can resist high temperatures of more than 6,000 degrees if used as armor, and also has considerable defensive power."

Lu Xingchen shrugged and said indifferently: "Actually, this deity doesn't need..."

"That kind of armor is very handsome."

Lin Xian added.

"Please speed up the development, Brother Lin!" Lu Xingchen's face changed instantly, and the look in his eyes looking at Lin Xian seemed extremely sincere and urgent.

Lin Xian nodded, and then said to kiki and Dalou: "Simply put, the functions are different. This kind of power armor doesn't help you much at present, but it doesn't mean you can't use armor."

Dalou nodded: "It's okay, I listen to Brother Xian's arrangements."

Shu Qin nodded with excitement when she heard this: "Okay, I also listen to Team Leader Lin's arrangements."

After speaking, she stood in front of the power armor and reached out to put it on.

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian with deep meaning. She knew that Lin Xian wanted to protect her, and she also wanted to be able to stand out, so her gaze gradually firmed, and she walked up and put the light gray power armor on her body.

Instantly, two female warriors wearing light gray power armor and cool appearance appeared in everyone's sight.

"Wow, so handsome!" Shasha exclaimed.

Shu Qin felt full of strength at this time. She reached out and clenched her fist, and the power unit on her body reacted flexibly. This power armor not only didn't make people feel cumbersome, but made people feel that everything was much easier!

"It's really powerful." She praised.

In addition to assisting the limbs in power output, this kind of power armor can also perform some preset actions, allowing the power armor to actively lead the operator to perform, and can also passively avoid risks at critical moments.

Of course, the actions of this active traction can be chosen to be turned off, just to avoid the power armor affecting the actions that the operator originally wanted to perform.

Chen Sixuan was adapting to the surging power brought by the power armor on her body at this time, and her confidence increased a bit.

The holographic light screen popped up in front of her.

【Program started】

After putting it on, Chen Sixuan started the power armor program.

【New user identification successful, please enter user information.】

"Chen Sixuan."

Information entry, the power armor began to detect Chen Sixuan's limb and muscle state, each joint began to automatically contract and tighten, and soon began to fit her torso, becoming fit.

She tried to move her hands and feet, and the power transmission torque came with an extremely fast reaction, making her feel light as a swallow instantly.

Looking forward again, the few teammates in front of her were also positioned one by one by the target capture system of the power armor system, and then various physical sign information were displayed.

Seeing this scene, Chen Sixuan's eyes lit up. This function seemed to match her identity as a sniper very well, because she had also initially come into contact with it on the intelligent sight of Meteor No. 3.

At this time, the power armor on her body seemed to have an extra mobile battlefield intelligent computer to assist her, and at the same time, it could help her carry out rapid maneuvering.

Chen Sixuan had seen Amin and Luoluo, two girls from the Chasing Sun Convoy. The seemingly soft girls were able to be light as a swallow under the operation of the mecha, quickly shuttling through the surging insect tide to kill insects. That kind of dashing and agile spirit was truly shocking.

"Okay, let's talk about business."

Lin Xian changed the subject and said to everyone: "Same as usual, we will set off before dawn."

"Mm-hmm." kiki turned around, operated the computer to bring up a map and started to say: "If we set off two hours in advance, we can reach Dalat Town before dawn from our current position."

"But we won't stay in Dalat."

Lin Xian said: "From the current situation, we have to rush to Western Orchid with all our strength. The Duck Lake area should be the center of the extreme cold vortex, and the blizzard might be even bigger. We have no time and no way to stay halfway." Chen Sixuan nodded: "According to the wind and snow situation brought by this extreme cold vortex, we really can't stop. This kind of heavy snow train is already very difficult to drive."

"So are we going to rush to Western Orchid in one breath?"

Shu Qin said with some worry: "Take advantage of the day?"

"Impossible." Lin Xian activated the Mechanical Heart, and the blackout board of Carriage No. 2 rose in unison. He looked at the deep snow outside and said: "It is very difficult for us to start with such thick snow, and it is impossible to increase to a very fast speed, so we must run overnight. My idea is that Western Orchid City has a Phoenix Society station, and many other survivor organizations. As long as we arrive, even if it is at night, we can get fire support."

"Wow, doesn't that mean we have to fight those Snow Demons all the way?" kiki frowned and said: "Aren't you afraid that the marker will cause bigger trouble in the dark night?"

"Can only act according to the situation."

Lin Xian got up and said: "If the situation is good, we can do the same as yesterday, choosing to stay in the Red Glow or Su Wind Village area. If the situation is bad, we can only run to Western Orchid overnight. All we can do is to start full-force interception outside the city, trying not to bring bigger marker hidden dangers into the city."

"Then today is a tough battle." Chen Sixuan said.

"Mm." Lin Xian nodded and looked at kiki and Lu Xingchen: "Not only that, there is a tough battle that needs to be fought now."

Infinite activated!

The snow layer is deep, almost submerging 2/3 of the ice-breaking shield, and the tracks and iron wheels have been frozen and buried by ice and snow. Let alone increasing the speed potential energy, even starting is very difficult.

So the only way is to use the abilities of kiki and Lu Xingchen to first break open the snow layer and clear out a space for starting. When the speed potential energy of the Infinite is up, rely on the powerful impact to break open the snow layer all the way and drive forward.

!

Time came to 9 o'clock in the morning. Everyone on the Infinite was ready. kiki and Lu Xingchen were on the roof of the train and in the cab respectively, preparing to clear the snow.

"We need to be fast."

Chen Sixuan looked at the mountain slopes on both sides of the mountain pass and said: "The snow on the mountain is too thick. Our large-scale snow clearing is very likely to cause landslides on both sides to form avalanches, so it is best to do it once and for all, and we will rush out at full speed."

Although Uliyasitai Mountain is a continuous low mountain, the mountain is not steep, but such a high landslide is also a huge hidden danger. The chain reaction formed will inevitably cause huge vibrations, and it is also possible to bury the entire train in the snow.

"Well said, we only have one chance." Lin Xian also said at this time.

"No problem." Lu Xingchen gathered fire in his hands to warm himself and said in the communicator.

kiki stood in the cab and said proudly: "How big a problem can this be? With this young lady taking action, can't I handle this little snow?"

"Brother Fire! I'll wait for you to take action first!" kiki said in the communicator.

"No problem."

The two reached a consensus. Lu Xingchen took a deep breath at this time, standing in the howling cold wind with hot flames burning in his eyes.

Cluster~!

A scorching breath began to emerge on him. The frost and flying snow on Lu Xingchen's clothes were all evaporated in an instant. The steaming heat wave began to radiate to the surroundings, and even the hard ice frozen on the roof of the train under his feet was rapidly melting toward the surroundings.

"This move, let's name it..."

"Flame Explosion · Heavenly Road!"

Boom!

He raised his hands above his head. In an instant, a red big fire soared into the sky, like a scorching fire pillar, instantly making the surrounding darkness bright.

Then Lu Xingchen shouted coldly, and smashed the huge fire pillar toward the front. At the same time, the flames sprayed out flame-blue Mach rings, detonating a huge airflow roar!

Boom!!! In the mountain pass, the howling cold wind was instantly blown into chaos. The cold and hot air currents collided and erupted with strong rising air currents, and the snowflakes flying in the air flew toward the sky one after another.

A huge jet fire pillar blasted directly on the snow layer in front of the Infinite. Those were evaporated in an instant, turning into a hollow.

It's not over yet.

kiki found the right time, her eyes filled with fluorescence, her hands forward, using powerful psychic power to grab the surging fire pillar, and then pushed it out!

Whoosh! Under the control of psychic power, the flames exploded toward the front. The snow layer in front of the Infinite train head was directly cleared out into a hollow area up to hundreds of meters long, just like digging ice cream with an iron spoon. The black iron tracks below were clearly visible under the illumination of the car lights, and even the tracks were emitting hot heat, without seeing a trace of ice and snow.

Woo!

Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Xian directly activated the engines of the two driving locomotives. Under the humming of the motors, huge power began to output. This steel behemoth buried in the snow layer emitted a ferocious roar. The ice layer all over its body shattered and fell off inch by inch, the snow on the roof of the train slid to both sides rapidly, and the iron wheels rotated, beginning to move.

Rumble!

At this time, as the train moved, the accumulated snow on both sides of the road began to collapse onto the tracks, and soon formed a chain reaction. Coupled with the huge movement caused by Lu Xingchen and kiki just now, a large amount of snow layer began to split and slide, gathering down toward the tracks.

Clang, clang, clang!

The Infinite is accelerating!

Ice shells and ice icicles fell constantly, making a clattering sound, while the fire pillar ahead did not disappear. kiki and Lu Xingchen were still maintaining the output of psychic power to clear the road.

"Quick!"

"Little girl, pay attention to Brother Fire above, don't let him be washed away by the avalanche."

"Rest assured!"

Boom, boom, boom, a large amount of snow layer slid down like dominoes and clamped on both sides of the Infinite, instantly making the carriage dark, but because the train had already rushed up, the carriage quickly rushed out of these thick snows one after another.

"The speed is up!" Chen Sixuan shouted.

"Brother Fire, come down." Lin Xian shouted in the communicator.

Lu Xingchen heard the instruction, immediately stopped the fire, ran quickly to the lifting port of Carriage No. 5 and returned to the carriage.

And at this time, the Infinite had accelerated to a speed of 80km. In the cab, kiki was still constantly using psychic power to separate the snow layer ahead.

90km.

Clang, clang, clang, the train head smashed through the heavy snow.

100km!

Snow dust exploded, flying all the way to the sky!

"Enough!" Lin Xian shouted to kiki.

"I can still persist." kiki said.

Lin Xian grabbed her, and immediately grabbed Chen Sixuan: "Prepare to crash!"

A steel rail train weighing thousands of tons at a speed of 100km, plus the ice-breaking shield in front, Lin Xian knew that such potential energy was enough to directly rush open the snow layer and move forward, so he did not hesitate to let kiki stop the psychic output.

Boom! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In an instant, the Infinite crashed head-on into the 1.5m thick snow layer ahead. The entire train shook violently due to the impact inertia. Everyone felt a huge forward-tilting force. This steel behemoth carried huge potential energy and directly cut open the snow layer in front, raising a sky-high heavy snow, and rushed through the snow all the way without reducing its momentum.

Woo~!!!

The engine of the Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive roared crazily. A large amount of deep snow rubbed against the armor plates and flap armor plates on both sides of the train, making a humming vibration sound. Looking out from the window in the carriage, even the snow surface was only ten centimeters away from the window.

Standing in the cab and watching the heavy snow in front being violently torn to pieces, Chen Sixuan felt shocked. Lin Xian knew at this time that the entire train was running at full power. He looked at the speedometer, 95km, this speed exceeded his previous expectations, but the problem is, it cannot be weakened.

Once this speed is weakened, it is difficult to add it up. If the blizzard rises again and the snow layer thickens, it will even be gradually stopped.

So the Infinite now can only be like an out-of-control train that can only move forward and cannot stop, rushing forward desperately.

Under the darkness, the gale howled.

Soon, the train drove out of the mountain pass and into the boundless snowfield.

Lin Xian, Chen Sixuan, and kiki were waiting in the cab at this time, but after driving for dozens of kilometers, the scene of being attacked by Snow Demons did not appear.

"Director Ding." Lin Xian hurriedly asked Ding Junyi via the communicator.

"No situation, safe." Ding Junyi's words made the three of Lin Xian suddenly stunned.

Safe?

How is it possible? It is night now. Yesterday they had seen how many Snow Demons were hidden in the snow layer. For this reason, Lin Xian was already prepared to rush and kill all the way to dawn, but at this time, the situation exceeded his expectations again.

"Eh, strange, could it be that those things come out during the day and not at night?" kiki said with a puzzled face.

"Impossible." Lin Xian shook his head: "Someone has already said in the radio information before that Snow Demons are more violent at night, how can they not come out at night."

"It is indeed too strange." Chen Sixuan frowned, her eyes constantly looking at the snow layer being lifted under the train's headlights, and said: "Could it be that we have passed the Snow Demons' territory, and this is another area of other anomalous entities?"

"It is possible."

Lin Xian thought, this is possible. Multiple facts have proven that some high-level anomalous entities have territory and territorial consciousness. Those Snow Demons did not appear, which is very likely to indicate that there is some kind of large anomalous entity in this area.

But the problem is, the Hell Black Chrysanthemum has no changes either. This strange scene made Lin Xian a bit unable to understand.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the earthquake and low roar before. At that time, Lin Xian seemed to hear the sound of a large number of Snow Demons boiling, but now he couldn't see one. He wondered if it was affected by that earthquake?

"Oh, regardless of whether there is or not, we can't stop." kiki said seriously: "Forget it, we have no other choice but to go all the way to the dark, let's take it one step at a time."

"Well said." Lin Xian nodded.

Just after speaking, a black object suddenly appeared in the snow layer in front. Before a few people could react, the Infinite crashed into it.

Boom!

In an instant, sparks splashed, and the black object was directly knocked away, splitting into several fragments and flying out.

A few people reacted quickly and found that it was a car lying across the tracks, but the car was filled with wind and snow inside and out. The Infinite smashed it into pieces. A piece of the car frame was still hanging on the ice-breaking shield. At the same time, a piece of corpse tissue fell on the windshield, scratched a string of ice marks, and then flew out quickly, falling hard into the snow.
