Chapter 275: Yes, I did it. Going to kill me?

"Expensive? Do you know the value of a high-power electric locomotive?"

Song Hao didn't know where Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan had suddenly popped out from, but upon hearing the questioning, he immediately retorted.

"I actually do know that." Before Mo Nika could speak, Shi Diyuan responded directly in a loud voice: "In good working condition, an ordinary electric traction locomotive with 70,000 kilowatts of power is worth at most 10 Blood Essence, and that's if anyone even wants it."

"What did you say?!"

"Shut up."

Mo Nika sternly cut off Song Hao's words, turned around, and said to the two with a hint of apology:

"Brother Shi, Team Leader Lin, I'm sorry. I was too busy losing my temper. This is the maintenance technician on my vehicle. Let me take you on board to take a look. Would you like something to drink?"

"No need, no need~"

Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan were not at all reserved and boarded the vehicle directly. Once on board, the two couldn't help but reveal looks of astonishment as they began to survey the interior.

Song Hao and Zhu Pang looked at the two who had passed by them with confused expressions: "Mo Jie, who are they?"

"Friends, here to help fix the vehicle."

"Fix the vehicle?!" Song Hao's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Just... just the two of them?"

"Mo Jie, didn't we contact those people from the Jincheng Fleet? They have the most capable mechanical engineers in the city. Why look for others?"

Mo Nika glanced at him coldly, offered no explanation, and followed behind Lin Xian and the other as they entered the carriage.

Song Hao swallowed his words under her gaze and lowered his head in embarrassment.

But after Mo Nika passed, he raised his eyes to look at her retreating back, a flash of coldness in his eyes.

"First, see what they're here for."

Zhu Pang beside him poked him with his elbow and gave him a look. Song Hao's expression shifted, and he turned around to start packing up his maintenance tools without a word.

From their outward appearance, Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan didn't look like mechanical engineers or maintenance technicians at all. If anything, one was wearing a grizzly bear coat and the other high-tech power armor; they looked more like high-ranking members of some fleet. Moreover, they hadn't brought any tools and had come empty-handed, which made Song Hao refuse to believe they were here to fix the vehicle.

At this moment, Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan were looking at the interior space of the 'Queen Mo' with extremely focused expressions, as if seeing novel objects. Although both were train fleets and lived on trains daily, the interior of the 'Queen Mo' was completely different from a standard train structure. To Lin Xian, the first impression was that it felt more like the inner cabin of some spacecraft!

The integrated functional carriage didn't appear too spacious due to the numerous automated devices. Because it was a fully sealed design, there were no windows except for the portholes at the front and rear. All external conditions were monitored through the vehicle's 360-degree sentry system. People inside would feel a strong sense of security. The living area's beds were embedded in honeycomb-like compartments, the main control room's circular screens were covered with snowfield terrain maps, and the advanced air circulation and heating systems made anyone walking in feel as if they had returned to spring.

Sss~

Arriving at the first and largest driving carriage, it required Mo Nika's iris recognition to open the hatch.

Because this was not only the energy carriage but also Mo Nika's private living area, this carriage was over 60 meters long. Energy, power, and main control were all here. The vehicle possessed a certain intelligent AI system that could directly monitor the entire vehicle's status and faults, and could be remotely controlled for automated driving. Everything was in Mo Nika's hands.

"This is my private living area. Usually, no one is allowed in."

Mo Nika led the way with a smile: "We only have 26 people on the vehicle in total, and 5 are responsible for vehicle control and driving. Although it's fully automated, it still requires people to monitor road conditions 24 hours a day, and the radar is kept on at all times."

"Whoa, Mo Jie, you live quite spaciously."

As soon as he walked in, Shi Diyuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Because the carriage was large, even with so many core systems integrated, Mo Nika's living area remained very wide and luxurious. There was a space-capsule-grade bathroom with a large wave massage tub, and in addition to a spacious bedroom, there was even a dedicated walk-in closet, a wine cabinet, and a spa space capsule...

It made one feel as if this wasn't the apocalypse, but a vacation.

"Worthy of a 2-billion-unit doomsday transport." Lin Xian couldn't help but smile as he watched this scene. To call it flashy and impractical would be wrong; the vehicle's defense, life support, and weapons were an arsenal fortress. To call it impractical would also be wrong; living in such a luxurious fortress in the apocalypse was far more comfortable than those who could only weld discarded steel plates and sleep in the back of smelly cars.

"Indeed!" Shi Diyuan also said in a serious tone: "If I had known, I should have brought a few people from the engineering team to take a look. If nothing else, the internal layout is worth learning from. If the air circulation and gray water systems here were on my Longshan No. 1, it would definitely solve a big problem."

Shi Diyuan's words were not an exaggeration. With a train of over a thousand people and the environment of a doomsday escape, hygiene was a major issue. If one wasn't careful, the carriages would reek, and just cleaning the toilets was enough to give the carriage supervisors a headache.

Lin Xian's Infinity had not yet encountered this problem. The men and women in the living carriages were very conscious of hygiene, and the logistics personnel led by Xiao Yuan were very diligent, taking the initiative to handle some of the hygiene and cleaning issues in the carriages, keeping the living carriages in a very comfortable environment. Lin Xian didn't have to worry too much about this.

"I'm embarrassed." Mo Nika crossed her arms and said in a wistful tone: "I'm the only woman on the whole train. For me, even if I am destined to die in the black of night one day, I want to welcome death in a clean and comfortable environment."

Lin Xian was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. The only woman on the entire train, and this woman was the leader of the fleet—this configuration sounded a bit strange. Moreover, judging by Mo Nika's attitude toward her subordinates just now, she didn't seem to have an approachable personality.

Combining these, Lin Xian guessed that Mo Nika was able to control the entire fleet not only because she held the authorization to control the train, but also because her own strength was not to be underestimated.

Otherwise, how could she suppress those heavily armed guards in power armor behind her?

"How is it, Team Leader Lin?" After finishing, Mo Nika looked at Lin Xian.

"Give me some time."

The tour ended. Lin Xian didn't hesitate, walked directly to the main console, sat down, placed his hand on it, and began to activate the Mechanical Heart.

Once the Mechanical Heart's domain expanded, Lin Xian quickly had a rough assessment.

"3 hours."

Mo Nika's beautiful eyes lit up upon hearing this: "3 hours... can it be fixed?"

Lin Xian didn't speak in absolutes, only saying: "There is hope."

Three hours was roughly just the time it would take him to complete the train scan. Although the entire train only had 8 carriages, it had numerous subsystems. Fortunately, he already had experience scanning nuclear power systems. Besides that, the most advanced mechanical component on this train should be the intelligent AI. Chip manufacturing was the most time-consuming part. Although he could bypass these systems, the train was an integrated design, and the main control system was connected to all subsystems, so bypassing them would take even more time.

Hearing Lin Xian's words, Mo Nika suppressed the joy in her heart. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but look at Lin Xian and then at Shi Diyuan, tentatively saying:

"Team Leader Lin, I don't think I know your terms yet?"

"20 Blood Essence." Before the words had even landed, Lin Xian responded directly.

"Only 20 Blood Essence!!?" Shi Diyuan couldn't help but say upon hearing this: "Others dare to ask for 40 just to fix the circuit of an electric locomotive, and you're only asking for 20 to fix the whole train. Brother Lin, you're quite generous."

Lin Xian smiled upon hearing this. Shi Diyuan's words were naturally not meant to provoke him, but to mock the outrageous price of that so-called Jincheng Fleet.

One had to know that Lin Xian's previous Huanxing 7F electric locomotive had been a steal, because a nuclear-powered rail locomotive was itself a power unit with immense traction. For an ultra-long train like Longshan No. 1, one was actually enough to drive it, but Shi Diyuan had a backup plan. If there were no nuclear-powered locomotives, ordinary electric traction locomotives would be of no use at all, let alone a discarded and damaged freight electric locomotive.

So when they heard the maintenance price of 40 Blood Essence, Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan immediately understood that it was definitely a "sucker's price." This unique price was likely set because they had identified Mo Nika's predicament and were deliberately targeting her, knowing she had no other options as disaster loomed.

"Really 20 Blood Essence?" Mo Nika once thought she had misheard. If such a price could solve the train's current faults, it was definitely a great value.

Fortunately, Mo Nika knew that Qian Dele was an extremely cold and picky person; if he didn't really have some means, how could he have gained his approval?

Thinking of this, Mo Nika felt a bit more relaxed in her heart.

So she said nothing, moved to the wine cabinet, and opened a bottle of her prized red wine.

Soon, Mo Nika brought red wine to Shi Diyuan and Lin Xian. She scrutinized Lin Xian's movements, but couldn't detect any fluctuation in Spirit-Oscillation Value, so she said calmly: "Team Leader Lin, you've done me a huge favor."

"A small matter." Lin Xian responded faintly.

For Lin Xian, not only could he earn 20 Blood Essence, but he could also obtain a blueprint of this doomsday transport. Many key structures, such as the integrated electrical system, automated weapon bays, the design of the bathrooms and living cabins, various lighting, air circulation systems, water circulation, etc., were all more valuable than Blood Essence, because he couldn't find any design blueprints for these things. Currently, the Infinity's automatic blast-proof doors were still using those from the airport's internal passages.

And the train's electrical integration, wiring, and various lifting cabins were all copied from the outside and then forcibly installed on the train with the help of his heaven-defying mechanical ability. Although they worked, they were not comparable to the structures of the 'Queen Mo', which were specifically designed for the train. It was like installing a house door on a car; it could be said to be usable, but not refined.

With such structures specifically designed for trains, future modifications to the Infinity would definitely be more reasonable. Solving the train's overall framework problem in one go was what interested him most.

Shi Diyuan took a sip of red wine and then said to Mo Nika: "Mo Jie, while Brother Lin is busy, if you don't mind, could you take me to see the weapon configuration on the vehicle? I'd like to learn about firepower layout and such."

Longshan No. 1 was also preparing to purchase a large number of weapon systems from major fleets and the Phoenix Society for upgrades. Having started by blindly piling up firepower and experiencing many desperate situations along the way, Shi Diyuan knew the importance of tiered firepower layout, and ammunition supply for each carriage was also a big problem. So although Mo Nika herself was not skilled, her train was designed by a former military joint project and had many merits.

"Of course." Mo Nika looked at Lin Xian, then smiled and led Shi Diyuan to visit other carriages.

【Scanning progress 1%】

Here, Lin Xian activated his Mechanical Heart to its full potential, quickly covering every corner of the 'Queen Mo'.

Gradually, the blueprint framework of a precisely designed heavy doomsday train began to form on the light screen before his eyes. Seeing those incredibly complex structural designs, Lin Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Although it's a gimmick created by a tech company, designing such a train isn't simple. No wonder it sells for 2 billion per unit..."

Lin Xian concluded that the team that designed this doomsday train must have come from a top industrial group. It even used the avionics integration system design of fighter jets, deployed a large number of sensors connected to the vehicle-mounted radar system, and a complete data link transmission system, all concentrated in the central processing server of the first carriage.

From the beginning of its design, the doomsday transport considered five-defense standards: bulletproof, cold-proof, fireproof, waterproof, and radiation-proof, and even considered short-term underwater travel, for which a very complex design was made in the drive system.

The continuous scanning left Lin Xian in awe. The only problem was what he had guessed before: this train considered too many factors, leading to extremely high maintenance costs. Lin Xian guessed that such a vehicle must have spares for many vulnerable parts, but it couldn't withstand the repeated attacks from various powerful, strange entities and zombie tides over the past few months.

Lin Xian scanned while keeping an eye on the time, calculating that after solving the problem here, he could go back and upgrade many of the Infinity's internal devices. Now that the entire vehicle's armor had been replaced with new composite armor, and all were standard modular parts, combined with the roof armor, the train's sealing would be greatly improved compared to before, and situations like snow water seepage should be improved significantly.

Then there was the sentry system. Now that he had time, he could borrow the 'Queen Mo's' design to create 360-degree monitoring and connect it to the information center. He could also install external display screens in every carriage, so that one could see the situation outside without opening windows. Moreover, compared to windows, the protective capability would be improved by countless levels, giving all team members more peace of mind.

Speaking of which, there was also the Longshan No. 1's triangletrack magnetic full-terrain drive module waiting for him to scan. That new Weilong electric locomotive hadn't been connected yet, and there were weapon systems, 1130s, electromagnetic cannons, power armor, PX-05 robots, planting carriage upgrades...

Lin Xian couldn't wait to seize every second to fully arm his Infinity, hoping to have a slightly more secure environment before the night arrived.

At the same time, he opened his R&D Center.

【R&D Center】

【TRP 4th Generation Special Industrial Active Exoskeleton Power Armor (Blueprint): 1 day 04 hours】

"The new power armor will be out soon. I wonder what it will be upgraded to."

Additionally, Lin Xian opened his Mechanical Heart panel to check his skill proficiency.

【Special Skills】

Mechanical Energy Cannon 【Amplification】

AT Field 【Amplification】

Flashback (Rare) (Level 2 50%)

Surge (Rare) (Level 2 45%)

Gravity Lens (Legendary) (Level 1 73%)

"Mechanical amplification can only amplify max-level skills. Flashback and Surge haven't been used for a long time. It seems I need to improve their proficiency and reach Level 3 sooner."

Skills after mechanical amplification were improved by more than just one notch. Although Lin Xian hadn't used the AT Field in actual combat, he knew with his knees that this thing was definitely much more powerful than an ice wall.

The key was that he could use Surge to extend this skill, thereby increasing the defensive area. In other words, when necessary, he could even protect the Infinity from attacks!

Just as Lin Xian began to scan the transmission system fault point, he couldn't help but frown.

"This problem seems trickier than I imagined..."

"Not bad, not bad, Mo Jie, your train is much more impressive than my Longshan No. 1. It has to be professional stuff, unlike us, patching things together here and there."

At this time, outside the carriage, Shi Diyuan had followed Mo Nika and seen the entire weapon system of the vehicle. Mo Nika was as generous as she was with her wine, and she even openly showed Shi Diyuan her various trump cards without any concealment.

"Brother Shi, don't tease your little sister. I'm just a woman; how could I have the skills of Brother Shi and Team Leader Lin? If it weren't for a good background and having this train, with my meager ability, I'm afraid I would have died in some zombie's mouth long ago or been sold to a thug fleet and gang-raped into a plaything~" Mo Nika's tone carried a hint of helpless self-mockery about her situation in the apocalypse, but a smile still lingered on her face.

"Eh! Don't say that." Shi Diyuan waved his hand and said bluntly: "In this world, surviving is a skill."

The two chatted along the way. Shi Diyuan waited for Lin Xian while also paying attention to the situation of Longshan No. 1's ability testing. Without realizing it, more than two hours had passed. At this time, the ability test results for Longshan No. 1 began to come through the city's relay signals to his communicator.

This meant the ability testing had reached the final batch.

Just as the two were about to board the vehicle to communicate with Lin Xian, a roar of an engine suddenly sounded from the platform in the distance.

Looking over, they saw a well-modified four-wheeled bigfoot truck ramming onto the platform, drawing dissatisfied gazes from the survivors camping there. But when they saw the fierce Gatling machine gun and even a small arc pulse cannon on the bigfoot truck, they all held back.

The reason was simple: the modification level of a vehicle could show the strength of a fleet. A bigfoot truck that could be luxuriously equipped with a small arc pulse cannon must belong to an extremely wealthy fleet, not only showing fierce firepower but also indicating that the fleet was very rich.

The bigfoot truck was very large, driving in almost against the edge of the platform, and then drove all the way toward the 'Queen Mo'.

Sss~

In the blink of an eye, the bigfoot truck stopped in front of Mo Nika and Shi Diyuan. The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a Mohawk hairstyle and a thick down jacket jumped down nimbly using the pedals. Then, the man took off his sunglasses, revealing a thin, long face.

At the same time, three more people got off the bigfoot truck, carrying strange mechanical toolboxes and testing instruments, following behind the man.

"Which one of you is the boss of this vehicle?"

The Mohawk man's gaze swept over Mo Nika and Shi Diyuan, carrying an overbearing attitude.

Mo Nika noticed the other's somewhat offensive gaze, her face turned cold, and she said in a cold voice:

"Who are you?"

"Who am I?" The Mohawk man frowned, smiled inexplicably, then ignored the two and picked up his communicator to shout: "Hey, hey, hey, Song, we're here."

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Nika's subordinate Song Hao ran over in a hurry, panting, and said to Mo Nika: "Mo Jie, Mo Jie, they are from the Jincheng Fleet. Didn't you ask me to find someone to fix the vehicle? I've inquired, and they are very professional. Many fleets in Xilan City have had them fix their vehicles."

After saying this, he quickly introduced to the Mohawk man: "Team Leader He, this is our boss, Mo Jie Nika."

"Oh~ so you're the boss. Hello, hello, nice to meet you."

He Kun looked at Mo Nika, seemingly somewhat disbelieving that the leader of this heavily armed doomsday transport was actually a woman.

Although the other party greeted her, Mo Nika clearly disdained dealing with such a person who had "impolite" written all over him. She just swept a cold glance and said to Song Hao:

"Did you agree on a price?"

"No..."

"How could that be." Before Song Hao could respond, He Kun raised his voice with a serious expression: "Beauty, we are very professional. Isn't it just scamming people to quote a price without knowing the fault?"

As he spoke, he turned around and patted the testing instruments of his subordinates, saying smugly: "Our Jincheng Fleet specializes in solving all kinds of maintenance problems. Our tenet is to inspect for free first, quote reasonably, and only solve the problem after the customer accepts. We even support after-sales service. We have over 20 mechanical engineers in our fleet. Whether it's software, hardware, or military vehicles, even if only one wheel is left, we can fix it for you. Absolutely professional!"

Hearing this, Shi Diyuan, who was watching the fun, couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, you really know how to brag. Can you build a new one if only one wheel is left?"

"That's just a metaphor." He Kun responded faintly: "Anyway, no matter what the problem is, come to us, you can't go wrong!"

At this time, Song Hao leaned over to Mo Nika and whispered: "Mo Jie, I've inquired, this Jincheng Fleet is indeed quite professional, they can fix any vehicle. Anyway, the inspection is free, so I invited them over. After they finish the inspection, we can listen to their quote before deciding whether to hire them."

Mo Nika snorted: "A guy who dares to quote 40 Blood Essence to fix a discarded electric locomotive—do you think I'm an idiot to let them inspect my vehicle?"

Song Hao's expression froze upon hearing this, and he didn't know what to say.

Who knew that He Kun, hearing this, wasn't annoyed, but instead put on a very serious expression and said to Mo Nika:

"This beauty, from your words, I can tell that you have a deep misunderstanding of us!"

"First of all, that's not an ordinary electric locomotive, but a Weilong-class electric locomotive with 70,000 kilowatts of power. Its output power can pull 50,000 tons of cargo without any problem. Moreover, repairing the electrical system is not a simple job; it requires major disassembly and repair."

He looked at Mo Nika with a full face of smiles and said solemnly: "And most importantly, it's time. Evacuation is imminent. To get that guy moving, we need to invest at least a dozen people working overnight to repair it. This is a life-and-death issue. As the boss of the fleet, you must understand the severity of this, so it's not the discarded electric locomotive that's valuable, but the result you need to achieve that's worth this much."

"So looking at it this way, isn't 40 Blood Essence not expensive at all? We're just taking your money and doing your work."

"Good guy, he's material for a crooked merchant." Shi Diyuan was amused by his words and couldn't help but give He Kun a thumbs up.

"No need." Mo Nika said.

He Kun had spoken a paragraph that seemed very reasonable, but who knew Mo Nika would refuse without even thinking.

"I've already entrusted the vehicle repair to others, so I won't trouble you. Thank you, please return."

After saying this, Mo Nika directly issued an order to leave.

He Kun's expression changed upon hearing this, and the smile on his face faded somewhat. He immediately looked at Song Hao on the side and said in a suppressed voice: "What's going on? Didn't you tell me it wasn't fixed yet?"

At this time, Song Hao was also a bit confused and said to Mo Nika:

"Sister... Mo Jie, who did you entrust it to?"

Mo Nika turned her head and looked at Song Hao with a sharp gaze, saying: "Now, all the repair work for the vehicle has been assigned to Team Leader Lin. It should be done very soon, so you don't need to look for anyone else to repair the train for now." Song Hao was greatly surprised upon hearing this. He hadn't taken it seriously when Mo Nika said Lin Xian was here to fix the vehicle, but now it sounded like the other party was already working on it?

Are you kidding? Without bringing any tools, he wanted to repair this 200-meter-long automated doomsday train, and he was doing it alone?

"Mo Jie!" Song Hao couldn't sit still: "Why didn't you communicate this with me? I'm the maintenance technician for this vehicle, and I know the problems best. How come I don't know anything about someone else coming to fix the vehicle??"

"Didn't I just tell you?" Mo Nika responded in a cold voice.

"No, I didn't think he was here to fix the vehicle directly. One person, didn't bring any tools, and you didn't ask me to assist. This... this is completely nonsense. How could it possibly be fixed?!"

"You don't need to worry about this. Team Leader Lin has his ways."

Song Hao was stunned. He knew Mo Nika knew nothing about mechanics, so she had to listen to his advice on all maintenance issues on the vehicle. But now Mo Nika had actually found such an inexplicable person to fix the vehicle. In his view, Mo Nika must have been fooled.

Actually, Mo Nika knew very well that although she hadn't seen it herself, she wasn't prepared to explain Lin Xian's ability to Song Hao in front of He Kun. Since she had reached a consensus with Lin Xian, she had handed over the train's repair work to him.

And in this situation, if she found someone else to inspect and repair, it would undoubtedly be disrespectful to Lin Xian. She was a woman with a clear mind. Lin Xian was a person escorted back by the Phoenix Society's 7th Investigation Corps, and she saw clearly what was important and what wasn't, so there was no need to hesitate, and no need to explain anything to the likes of He Kun.

At this time, He Kun saw Song Hao's reaction and finally understood. A look of interest appeared on his face, and he said:

"Yo, when did a genius maintenance master come to Xilan City? How come we didn't know? He can fix your whole train alone, without even bringing tools, and judging by the tone of this beautiful team leader, he's almost done?!" He deliberately raised his tone, carrying a thick mocking flavor, which made his three engineer subordinates behind him all show expressions of being unable to hold back their laughter.

Shi Diyuan stood on the side, arms crossed, and upon hearing this, he said sternly:

"What, can't he? My Brother Lin has the strength. Do you have anything else to do or not? If not, go where you need to go. Don't make weird noises here for me. Believe it or not, I'll remove your vocal cords."

!

Shi Diyuan was a bold character who spoke directly and never beat around the bush. Whoever he found unpleasant, he would greet them directly without reservation. He didn't pamper anyone.

As soon as he spoke, the expressions of the people opposite all changed. He Kun's face also sank immediately. He swept his gaze over Shi Diyuan and sensed an extremely untouchable aura from him. Although their Jincheng Fleet was also a large fleet, he knew that these guys driving nuclear-powered trains were not simple characters. So he restrained his previous arrogant contempt and said seriously:

"OK, OK, this big brother has quite a temper. Calm down, calm down. I didn't mean anything else. But since we've met today, I also want to see this expert who repairs nuclear-powered trains with his bare hands without tools. Let's just consider it making a friend. That's fine, right?"

"Eh, the transmission system fault alarm has been cleared!!"

Just at this moment, Mo Nika's subordinate Zhu Pang suddenly ran down from the vehicle and shouted in horror.

"What?!" Song Hao immediately took out his mobile terminal to check the train's various fault information. At this moment, he was shocked to find that not only the transmission system, but several other fault alarms of varying severity had also been cleared.

"This... this... how is this possible?"

Mo Nika saw Song Hao's ghost-seeing expression and couldn't help but marvel in her heart. However, she didn't show any strange color and was about to board the vehicle to confirm with Lin Xian, but found that Lin Xian was already standing at the vehicle door.

"Team Leader Lin?"

"A little faster than expected." Lin Xian clapped his hands and walked off the vehicle. Although his hands didn't have a speck of dust, it was a stark contrast to the oil-stained appearance of Song Hao and Zhu Pang.

Mo Nika's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and she immediately looked up at Song Hao.

And Song Hao was full of disbelief at this time, saying: "Sister... Mo Jie, transmission, electronic control, drive, all faults are gone. This... how on earth was this done!?"

Hearing Song Hao's words, the stone in Mo Nika's heart finally landed. A strange color rose in her eyes, and she looked at Lin Xian quite excitedly: "Team Leader Lin, did you really fix it all?!"

"Of course! Hahaha!"

Shi Diyuan proudly came up and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder: "As long as it's a mechanical problem, there's nothing my Brother Lin can't solve. Mo Jie, you really found the right person this time. 20 Blood Essence is a great value, right?"

20 Blood Essence?

At this time, He Kun on the opposite side looked at the conversation of the few with a gloomy face, inexplicably feeling like he had been played.

"Hey, Song."

He shouted directly at Song Hao, who had contacted him: "Didn't you tell me that the transmission shaft magnetizer was broken, the power turbine had problems, and there were faults in the electronic control and shock absorbers? How were these problems solved in two hours? Are you playing with me?"

"I... I really didn't!"

Song Hao was doubting his life at this time. His expression changed, and he immediately used the mobile terminal to operate the subsystem for self-testing. The train behind him occasionally sounded with the roar of engines and turbines. None of the previously encountered fault problems occurred. He had thought Lin Xian might have just fixed the alarm system and performed a "covering ears to steal a bell" trick, but the actual result told him that Lin Xian had really spent two hours fixing the faults their train had encountered over more than a month!!

"Hmph."

For this result, He Kun naturally didn't believe it. At this time, he had lost his previous patience, and his gloomy gaze glared at Song Hao: "Good, good, good. Since your beautiful team leader thinks her vehicle is already fixed, then naturally there's no need for us to take action. But I'll give you a friendly suggestion: train faults are a matter of life and death. It's best to let professional people inspect it. Don't wait until you're evacuating the city to have problems. At that time, you'll be calling heaven and earth with no response~"

"Motherfucker, are the hair on your tongue and head swapped? Do you think what I said is fart?!"

Hearing this, Shi Diyuan was immediately furious. He shook his coat and was about to step forward to practice, but was stopped by Lin Xian.

"No need to argue with him, we have other things to do."

After saying this, he stood out and said to Mo Nika: "The logic is correct. Whether it's fixed or not, it's better to inspect it, so you can feel more at ease."

Lin Xian had guessed as soon as he came out that the other party must be another repair team Mo Nika had found. Since she had invited them, Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan didn't need to conflict with them. Everyone was unrelated, and it was normal to inspect such things carefully. Even if Mo Nika asked someone to dismantle the vehicle board to inspect it on the spot, he wouldn't mind. After all, having received the benefits, it was impossible not to let others accept the work, right?

Mo Nika smiled slightly upon hearing this and said: "Song Hao has already performed a system self-test just now. Although I don't understand mechanics, I can still tell if the sound of the turbine core is normal. Team Leader Lin, I am very grateful."

He Kun glanced over, looked at Shi Diyuan, and felt somewhat fearful, so he called his people and said sheepishly: "Let's go."

Halfway there, he suddenly stopped and turned to Song Hao and Mo Nika: "By the way, you don't need that electric locomotive, right? If you don't need it, we'll tow it away ourselves."

He said this with a probing flavor, just wanting to see if Mo Nika would be anxious. After all, the intelligence he received was that the hidden dangers on the 'Queen Mo' were quite significant. Holding the purpose of a big business, He Kun had specifically made a trip, so he still believed the other party was acting to deliberately suppress the price, and he wasn't giving up.

Before Mo Nika and Song Hao could speak, another voice sounded lukewarmly.

"If you're talking about the two Weilong-class ones at the freight rail platform in the west of the city, I'm sorry, I've already fixed them and towed them away."

As soon as these words came out, He Kun staggered and looked back at him in horror: "What the hell?!!"

Lin Xian looked at him: "Is there a problem?"

He Kun became anxious upon hearing this: "Are you kidding? That electric locomotive was discovered by our Jincheng Fleet and was prepared to be fixed and sold to a customer. Why do you have the right to tow it away?!"

Lin Xian couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this and looked at him coldly.

"I towed it, so what? Are you coming to grab it?"

"Haha, joke. If you discover it, it's yours? Did you pee on it to leave a mark?" Shi Diyuan also laughed upon hearing this. This He Kun really treated people like fools. A discarded train that no one wanted had now been fixed by Lin Xian, and it had turned into theirs? Daring to say such things clearly carried the meaning of conflict.

"You really take my politeness for courtesy!" He Kun's face turned black, and he was furious. He reached behind him with one hand and pulled out a large gun: "Daring to grab business from our Jincheng Fleet, brothers, grab your weapons!"

Click, click, click!

Before the few people behind He Kun could pull out their guns, in an instant, six combat personnel wearing Lone Wolf A military-type rapid-response power armor had surrounded them at high speed, aiming their guns at He Kun and his men.

This sudden, fierce formation instantly extinguished the anger that had just risen in He Kun. He felt a chill in his heart and quickly lowered his gun.

"Wait, wait, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. This beautiful boss, I was only targeting that man, I didn't mean to conflict with you."

Mo Nika's nuclear-powered train was still nearby, and He Kun naturally knew this was on someone else's turf, so his target was only Lin Xian, who had snatched the Jincheng Fleet's business. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to find some face back, otherwise, with so many people watching, their Jincheng Fleet of hundreds would have their business snatched by a repairman, and if that got out, I'm afraid no one in Xilan City would ask them to do things anymore.

Mo Nika walked up with a cold face, her mink fur shaking slightly: "These two are my guests. Wanting to cause trouble on my turf, it seems your fleet is prepared to have a firefight with us?"

As she spoke, a scarlet light suddenly flashed in her beautiful eyes, and an invisible oppressive force burst out, immediately making He Kun and his men feel a suffocating pressure.

Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan, who were watching the fun from behind, also had their expressions change slightly, guessing in their hearts what Mo Nika's ability was that it could produce such an oppressive effect.

On the other side, Song Hao and Zhu Pang saw Mo Nika getting angry and also retreated sheepishly.

"No, no, how could that be!" He Kun saw that the other party's formation was not simple, and he only brought a few repair technicians, so he dared not compete with the other party even more, so he could only quickly concede.

"Since your vehicle is fixed, we won't disturb you. Business can be done with anyone. Everyone is taking refuge. It wouldn't be good if it got big and attracted the Phoenix Society, right..."

As he spoke, He Kun and his men raised their hands high and retreated toward the bigfoot truck.

Mo Nika aimed at him without a word, making He Kun feel cold in his heart, thinking that this woman's momentum was much more terrifying than it looked on the surface. So he didn't say anything more, crawled onto the vehicle in a dejected manner, stepped on the accelerator, and slipped away.

Seeing the few run away, Mo Nika didn't deliberately escalate the situation.

"Brother Shi, Team Leader Lin, I'm sorry." Mo Nika walked over and said apologetically. Then a subordinate brought a box, and upon opening it, there were 20 Blood Essence inside.

"Team Leader Lin, if this Jincheng Fleet causes you trouble, please be sure to contact me. I will handle it for you."

Lin Xian reached out and took it. He was quite satisfied with Mo Nika's handling of the matter and then said:

"Okay, if your vehicle has problems, you can also find me."

He looked at Mo Nika, and his next words carried a hint of deep meaning: "At least for these two days, I'll also provide after-sales service."

"Hey, Mo Jie, actually it has nothing to do with you. This Jincheng Fleet looks like they love to extort people. I've encountered this kind of goods many times. If they didn't provoke me, I wouldn't even bother to pay attention to them." Shi Diyuan waved his hand and then looked at Lin Xian: "Brother Lin, the ability test has reached our Longshan and Infinity. Let's not chat anymore, let's go back quickly."

Lin Xian nodded. The expected time was about right. At this time, the blueprint of the Queen Mo had been scanned, which also saved the time of queuing.

"Okay, I'll send you over."

Mo Nika didn't expect that the mechanical fault problem that affected the life and death of her fleet would be so easily resolved by Lin Xian. 20 Blood Essence meant nothing to her, and she had also gotten to know two big fleet leaders, Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan. At this time, she was in an extremely good mood, her face was smiling, and after giving some instructions to a few subordinates, she drove Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan to the Michel Cathedral again.

Michel Cathedral, Ability Testing Plaza.

The entire plaza was already extremely boiling. More and more survivors from the surrounding streets came to watch the fun, and news from various channels spread crazily. The Xilan City Ability Testing Plaza hadn't been this lively for several days.

The reason was simple: in less than two hours, three Rampage-level individuals had already appeared!!

Two of them were fleet leaders escorted into the city by the 7th Investigation Corps last night, Zhou Li and Qian Dele!

Another one was the leader of a fleet called the Blackie Fleet that had just arrived in Xilan City yesterday afternoon, named Long Dahei.

Among these three, Team Leader Zhou Li, who had also had a drink with Lin Xian yesterday, had no ability at all, but reached a peak Spirit-Oscillation Value of 700 points purely through genetic evolution. Added to his measured limit coefficient of 1.5, his final ability assessment level actually reached 1050, reaching the Rampage-level (1000) standard!

And that Long Dahei, who had a fleet of 800 people, also had a limit coefficient of 1.5, with a peak Spirit-Oscillation Value of 800 points, and an assessment level of 1200!

The most surprising was that Qian Dele, who was dressed like a noble lady, had a peak Spirit-Oscillation Value that reached a terrifying 1080!

And the limit coefficient reached the highest of the day, 1.7!

Thus, this Joker Fleet leader suddenly became the most hotly discussed target of the whole venue, a monster with an assessment level of 1836, close to 2000!

"Holy shit, so awesome. That guy just now, looking like a pretty boy, I didn't expect his ability level to exceed 1800!"

"Awesome. If you don't count the Nightwalker organization, he can rank third or fourth among the survivors in Xilan City now."

"Yes, at least top 5. I remember Qin Xueming of the Universe Fleet has 1972, he should be second. The most powerful is Han Jun of the Arctic Wind Alliance, the only Rampage-level who broke through 2000. Really fucking awesome."

"But this is a fleet leader, I guess no one can poach him."

"That's hard to say. What if the Arctic Wind Alliance wants to recruit his entire fleet?"

"An 1836 ability user won't run off with others so easily."

"Hard to say. No matter how awesome, aren't they still fleeing like us in the dark night? Smart people definitely know that huddling together will have a higher survival rate. If we join the Arctic Wind Alliance, with that configuration, we might even be able to fight an A-level strange entity!"

The onlookers discussed heatedly. Even in the doomsday escape, it couldn't stop people who loved to watch the fun.

On the roof of a high building, the woman with the mechanical eye kept focusing on Qian Dele, who had finished testing in the plaza, and began to analyze:

"Joker Fleet, over 400 people, very high-end configuration. This Qian Dele is familiar with Mo Nika of the Queen Mo in the north of the city, and should also have a good relationship with the several fleets that came in last night."

"Green Wind, go contact him, offer appropriate conditions. If he's unwilling, I'll talk to him personally."

Han Jun, wearing a windbreaker, said faintly at this time.

The middle-aged man with a face like red gold beside him was Qin Xueming, leader of the Universe Fleet. At this time, he crossed his arms and said sternly: "1836 level, 400-person team, your conditions won't be easy to offer."

"Crossing the Star Abyss, 2000 might not necessarily survive." Han Jun looked at him indifferently: "If you want to live, there's something to talk about."

At this time below, Qian Dele was standing on the periphery of the testing personnel, chatting with Ning Jingjing of Longshan No. 1.

"Are Old Shi and that handsome Lin not here yet?"

"Almost." Ning Jingjing looked at the people of Longshan No. 1 who were also starting to queue up and said: "People outside just told me they finished their business and are already rushing over. It should be a few minutes."

Qian Dele reached out and touched his face, quite impatiently: "The ionization oscillation of that machine is too strong. If I weren't curious to see their test results, I would have gone out long ago. Standing here is so bad for the skin~"

Ning Jingjing said helplessly: "It's not like you can see it outside."

"That's different." Qian Dele's gaze swept over the outside of the plaza: "It's densely packed with people, and those buildings are full of people. I'm too lazy to squeeze with them. Let's just stay here."

On the Infinity side, Ning Jingjing also told Chen Sixuan the news that Lin Xian and the others were coming back, because there was no signal in the inner field and the communicator couldn't transmit. Fortunately, Longshan No. 1 had dedicated personnel contacting outside the field.

"Lin Xian is coming back soon." Chen Sixuan said.

"It's almost our turn~" Miao Lu said: "Why am I a little nervous?"

"Me too, I don't seem to be this nervous when I usually encounter monsters." Xiao Yuan also whispered. She knew her test results definitely wouldn't be good. Looking at this scene, she was still incredibly nervous.

"Don't worry, take it step by step. The Phoenix Society's research progress is also advancing step by step." Shu Qin comforted the two.

"Yes, you'll know your situation after testing, and you can learn some experience." Lv Chang was eager to try.

Gao Ta also nodded, then looked at Lu Xingchen not far away: "Is Brother Fire asleep?"

"Oh my, this stinky guy!" Shasha immediately cast a look of disgust upon hearing this: "He can even fall asleep in this situation. I'm going to wake him up."

"Don't wake him."

Kiki grabbed Shasha: "This guy loves to show off the most, he'll definitely be the last one to appear. Don't worry."

As soon as these words came out, Shasha immediately felt it made a lot of sense.

"Look, it's almost Ning Jingjing and the others' turn." At this time, Chen Sixuan said, and everyone immediately looked forward.

At this time, most of the members of Longshan No. 1, including Dong Zi, Wang Zhong, Zhuang Yue, Yu Lianxing, Zhu Anran, and Min Ming, the external combatants, had finished testing. The train's third-in-command, Lu Yong, had already stood on the Spirit-Oscillation Value pressure tester. Under the operation of the staff, the huge mechanical ring emitted a dull surge of sound, and white light flickered.

Woo~ Ceng!

An ionization oscillation that gave people goosebumps flickered. Lu Yong let out a long sigh and then walked down.

【Test completed, peak data: 650】

"Wow, Team Leader Lu 650, it's already exceeded the Diamond-level." As soon as the result came out, the people on the Longshan No. 1 side began to discuss.

"Powerful, I don't know if there's a chance to reach Rampage-level."

"If it's 650, if it reaches 1.6, it should break through to Rampage-level."

And as the limit coefficient test ended, Lu Yong's final assessment level was out. His limit coefficient was 1.5, and the assessment level value was 975.

When this number came out, even the Infinity fleet felt great regret.

"975, oh my, what a pity, just a little bit off."

What everyone regretted was mainly the Phoenix Society's reward for the Rampage-level. A supply vehicle, a cold-dark reagent, plus a YJ-03 vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft gun and 200 rounds of ammunition was not a small amount. Even for a doomsday train fleet with a scale of a thousand people like Longshan No. 1, it was a very good supply.

And at this time, in the next batch, Ning Jingjing, Abai, and Xiaoqing were all on the list. Lu Yong, who had finished testing, walked over with a hint of helplessness and smiled helplessly at Ning Jingjing.

"Sister Jing, it's up to you."

Ning Jingjing nodded, then led the few into the queuing sequence.

And when the three of Ning Jingjing were tested by the Spirit-Oscillation Value peak pressure tester, the testing instrument directly displayed numbers that shocked even the Phoenix Society staff.

Genetic Evolver: Xiaoqing, peak data: 750.

The first evolver without an ability today to reach this number!

Laser Eye: Abai, peak data: 1000!

As soon as the data came out, the whole venue was shocked!

Countless people's gazes were now on the young man wearing thick sunglasses. No one expected that this guy, who looked weak and wind-blown, actually contained such a terrifying density of Spirit-Oscillation Value in his body!

And when Ning Jingjing walked down, the number on the pressure tester behind her was refreshed again.

1080!

The second 1080 of the day, actually the same as Qian Dele of the Joker Fleet.

The limit coefficients of the three people hadn't come out yet. Just this peak Spirit-Oscillation Value item alone made Han Jun, Green Wind, and Qin Xueming on the roof all shocked!

"Longshan No. 1, this fleet is really not simple."

"It's a rail train, with a scale of over a thousand people. The firepower should be comparable to Team Leader Qin's Universe Fleet." Green Wind with the mechanical eye seemed to know the situation of all the survivor fleets in Xilan like the back of her hand: "This one probably can't be poached, after all, it's rail-based."
