Chapter 30

In the dark of night, the "Infinite" in the valley was like a mechanical monster, quietly parked on the tracks.

In Carriage No. 3, Lin Xian's eyes glowed with fluorescence as he began to activate the 【Mechanical Repair】 skill, repairing the tailboard and side armor. Chen Sixuan wasn't idle either, using the medical kit found from the "Oasis" fleet to disinfect the wounds on Lin Xian's hands and face.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Lin Xian looked at the light screen before him, his pupils filled with shock.

Because he discovered that his attributes and skill proficiency had all increased by a large margin!

【Current Mechanical Heart Level: lv. 13/10/500】

【Hint: Upgrading the Mechanical Heart grants special skill rewards. When the Mechanical Heart reaches lv. 3, lv. 6, and lv. 9, you can obtain a mysterious awakening.】

【Basic Attributes】

【Strength: lv. 14/7/50】

【Speed: lv. 11/6/50】

【Defense: lv. 02/8/30】

【Current Basic Skills】

【Mechanical Devour lv. 28/500】

【Mechanical Manufacturing lv. 11/12/300】

【Mechanical Scanning (Passive)】

【Mechanical Repair (Passive)】

【Mechanical Operation (Passive)】

【Special Skills】

【Wind Cannon lv. 16/6/100】

【Ice Shield lv. 11/8/100】

"Without devouring machinery, how did my attributes increase?"

After the battle, the Wind Cannon had increased from 25 directly to 66, and the Ice Shield skill had gained 5 points during the fight with Liu Wei, but this time it had increased by 12 points!

If these could be attributed to gaining more from fighting strong enemies, then the change in basic attributes was something Lin Xian couldn't understand.

Because in the past, attribute increases were all extra rewards obtained through Mechanical Devour.

But this time, Strength increased by 14 points, Speed by 7 points, and even Defense increased by 8 points, which was no less than the gains from devouring 4 large freezers.

"What's going on?"

Lin Xian was both surprised and happy. He had never known that attributes could increase this way.

"Then why didn't I get any increase after killing so many zombies?"

At this moment, he fell into deep confusion.

"Could it be that killing eerie entities can grant ability increases?"

Thinking it over, this idea was the most reasonable. Lin Xian thought of the black centipede on "Old Man Li" at the very beginning and the white humanoid giant monster in the furniture mall. He hadn't killed either of those. Only the giant insect from tonight, which appeared three times in his memory, had finally been resolved.

He sighed softly. Whatever, having gains was better than having none.

From the current attributes, his Strength and Defense were both about to level up, which was real good news.

Every level his attributes increased was a massive boost to his strength.

At this moment, in Jiang City, hundreds of kilometers away, the entire city had entered a polar night!

The streets and corners of the city at night were filled with all kinds of zombies and eerie entities. There was no sound left on the radio.

High above, in the massive cloud layer, the sky-covering floating giant corpse suddenly shook. The clouds dispersed, like a mountain blocking the galaxy.

The zombies throughout the city suddenly became manic. Monsters in countless corners began to shriek. Black blood energy was uncontrollably extracted from them, and a strange gravitational force gradually attracted it. It was as if heaven and earth had turned upside down; the zombies fell and died all at once like wheat in a field, and the entire city was instantly shrouded in an aura of death!

Subsequently, the floating giant corpse, which was like a continent, slowly turned toward the east.

It began to move!...

After a night of rest, the damage to Carriage No. 3 had been restored by Lin Xian by seven or eight parts, and the damaged areas had been patched with steel armor. Overall, it was considered repaired.

Because he was too exhausted, when he opened his eyes again, it was because Chen Sixuan had woken him up.

"Lin Xian, Lin Xian."

Opening his eyes, Chen Laoshi's beautiful eyes were full of excitement. "It's dawn!" She took Lin Xian's hand and pointed to his watch.

"Look."

Lin Xian focused his gaze, feeling the sunlight outside the window. The time on his watch was jumping at 16:26!

An hour and a half earlier than expected!

Lin Xian's gaze shook, and he was no longer sleepy. He asked Chen Sixuan, "How far did we run last night?"

"At least 400 kilometers. If the mileage display isn't wrong, we're only about 50 kilometers away from Beiwan Town."

He scanned toward the sofa, only to see that kiki had already woken up, sitting on the sofa, squinting her eyes and waving at him.

!

"You're better?" Lin Xian asked.

"I'm better." kiki said with spirit. "I had a sleep, and I feel much more comfortable!"

Lin Xian frowned and suddenly looked at her. "I think I forgot to tie you up."

Hearing Lin Xian's words, kiki's little face turned dark, and she said nervously, "Hey, I saved you yesterday, and you still want to tie me up?!"

"Not tying you up is fine." Lin Xian said seriously. "Considering your performance last night, I can forgive you for stealing food. But now, I'm going to ask you a question. If you don't tell the truth, I'll still throw you off."

kiki frowned, looking at him with some fear, and stammered,

"W... what question?"

"Regarding what you said about your dad being the boss of the Linglong Group and a Tier 2 investor in the Dawn Plan, is it true or false?"

kiki asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you weren't interested in this?"

"Answer my question!" Lin Xian said bluntly. He could see that this girl had a somewhat flighty personality, and he didn't know how much of what she said was true or false. Plus, now that she knew how to use her ability, if Lin Xian didn't make her set her stance straight, he couldn't keep her at all.

Seeing Lin Xian so stern, Chen Sixuan on the side couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

She thought to herself, how had she never noticed Lin Xian had such deep thoughts and decisive momentum before? When he was stern, it was as if she weren't the teacher, but his student.

"It's true!" kiki looked at Lin Xian with annoyance, thinking this person was really fierce.

"Where were you going by helicopter?"

"I'm not very clear about that. I only know it was toward Mount Dala..." kiki said.

Lin Xian listened to her tone, which didn't sound like a lie, so he continued to ask,

"Then do you know why the plane crashed?"

kiki's face changed upon hearing this, and she shook her head. "I don't have much of an impression. The plane suddenly lost control. In the sky... there seemed to be something."

Lin Xian frowned.

Sure enough, in that massive cloud mass above Jiang City, there must be something terrifying that made one's heart palpitate.

That kind of pressure even exceeded the arrival of the night!

"Alright, last question."

Lin Xian let out a long breath and looked at kiki with a scrutinizing gaze. "You're not old, yet you seem to know a lot about high-tech equipment. Why is that?"

When kiki heard Lin Xian say it was the last question, her whole body tensed up. Who would have thought that hearing his question would make her relax? Her eyes lit up, and she said confidently,

"Then you've underestimated me. This young lady is well-versed in all kinds of cutting-edge information systems you can think of. There's no place on the internet I can't go. If it were before, I could even get you the parameters for the Interstellar Military's most advanced super-heavy integrated armor. Have you heard of the compound multi-aperture array wave radar? Have you heard of the i-17 multi-petal plasma cannon that's called top secret and still in the testing stage... I know plenty of these fun things."

"This Whale 03e heavy gas turbine locomotive of yours, produced in 2028, has been retired for almost 10 years. It's already very difficult to adapt to the turbulence and high-salt air storms on the trans-oceanic rail. Of course, you've only driven less than 1000 kilometers, and you're still far from the oceanic rail section. Food, water, air, information, defense, medical—you could say that except for the temporary lack of energy trouble, everything else is still a blank slate. I'm not wrong, am I?"

Hearing this, Chen Sixuan on the side was filled with disbelief. It was hard to imagine that this young girl actually knew so much.
