Chapter 304: Permanent Warehouse of Crimson Members

21:00

In the underground secret track of Yijin City, the joint train of 15 kilometers long and 500+ carriages stopped quietly in the darkness, silent, and all the lights were extinguished.

The 4,000+ survivors hid in the doomsday carriages, nervously waiting for the changes outside.

In the entire underground tunnel, there was a damp and stuffy atmosphere. In the depths of the darkness, the dripping sound of underground water seepage echoed from time to time.

Survivors in each carriage hid in the darkness one after another. Mothers covered the mouths of children, men held weapons and stood ready, and all information transmission was communicated through communicators. At this moment, everyone seemed to have their hearts in their throats.

Infinite, No. 12 carriage, the weapon station was the base of the 1130 close-in gun and YJ-03 anti-aircraft gun. Lin Lin Xian sat on the ground. In the darkness, only the red indicator light of the weapon station equipment was glowing. A silver-black ballet dancer robot stood quietly in the darkness a few meters away from him. The red light reflected a robot full of mechanical and human beauty.

Grace, who was shut down, didn't move. The simulated beautiful face revealed a bit of bizarreness. Lin Lin Xian looked at this robot, the earphone communicator flashed continuously, and he listened to the information outside the carriage with a solemn expression.

This feeling of being in an underground tunnel was very strange. Facing those zombie bizarre bodies, such an environment gave people a stronger sense of security than an open environment, but Lin Lin Xian, who had experienced various bizarre body attacks, was also worried that such an environment was not conducive to evacuation. His heart was a bit contradictory.

But things had come to this, he could only calm down and wait quietly.

In the communication frequency band, there were 20+ convoy captains or leaders. At this moment, everyone was also holding their breath. All the sounds and movements on the ground were almost difficult to transmit to the underground tens of meters deep, but the slight trembling sensation that came from time to time still made people's nerves tense.

This showed that the thing making the movement was definitely some kind of huge creature.

Time passed minute by minute. Lin Lin Xian looked at his watch while looking at the surveillance on the mobile terminal in front of him. That was the sentry probe and some sensors that Lin Lin Xian had placed outside the bank vault through the special elevator of the Zero Element Center. Because time was urgent, he could only temporarily set up such devices to observe the real situation on the ground.

The broken line graph of the vibration sensor passed slowly before his eyes. Almost all three sentry probes were pitch black, covered by a large amount of dust and spore fog. If it weren't for the fact that he could still see the outlines of some buildings and ground ruin items through the infrared observation lens in the picture, Lin Lin Xian would have even thought that these devices had been swallowed and damaged by fungal threads.

*Click, click, click! *

A low-frequency sound like carapace trembling rang in the earphones. Lin Lin Xian's gaze constricted, and he discovered that in one of the surveillance pictures, it was suddenly covered by a more intense black, seemingly some kind of huge dark night creature.

Seeing this scene, Lin Lin Xian took a slight breath, took off his earphones, and began to listen to the sound above the tunnel.

"The information obtained should be correct. Many bizarre bodies have appeared on the ground. It is not certain what level they are," Lin Lin Xian said in a low voice in the communicator.

"Lin Dui, I also captured many strange frequencies in the subway tunnel, which should be in the subway station on the upper level. However, that subway station has been checked by me and sealed. The tunnel should be safe for the time being," Luo Yang's voice also came at this moment.

"Then it should be true," Shi Shi Diyuan said in a low voice: "It looks like a lot of bizarre bodies have come to hold a party above our heads. Good fellow, this is our first time receiving this treatment."

"Will we really not be discovered with so many of us?"

The one who raised the question was Mo Mo Nika: "After all, we started with such a big movement."

"The entrance to the freight station has completely collapsed and been blocked. I have checked, and nothing has chased us," Xiang Xiang Ningjing said at this moment.

"Mo Mo Nika, Mo Mo Nika, I'm not panicked, why are you panicked? Lin Lin Xian has already said that we no longer have marks on our bodies, and we are hiding in such a deep underground. If we were discovered, we would have been discovered long ago. It's impossible that there's still no movement now, don't you think?" Brother Qian Qian Dele's tone sounded relatively relaxed.

"Right, we are already in the polar night, and the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. If we were targeted, logically speaking, we should have been attacked long ago," Luo Yang said.

Lin Lin Xian looked at the time and pressed the communicator: "Wait another 20 minutes. If there is no abnormality, we will prepare to open the permanent warehouse and start moving things. Convey it to all convoys. Don't send too many people, and don't make too much movement. We don't need to be too anxious in 30 hours. After we empty the things of the Crimson World underground, we should rest and rest. If this underground collapses, none of us can run away. If it is safe, as long as there is no fungal thread invasion, bizarre bodies can't get in."

"Alright! Then let's do that. Convey it to those dozen convoys immediately. With so many people, scheduling is difficult. It's hard for a big ship to turn around. So many people must be cautious." Shi Shi Diyuan said.

As time passed minute by minute, Lin Lin Xian's suspended heart gradually fell back. It seemed that his choice this time was correct. If he rushed out desperately to grab time, not only would he not be able to run out of Yijin City, but he might also be targeted by various bizarre bodies hidden around the city. Once someone on the joint train was marked with a dark mark, their 'lighthouse' would be completely lit, and it would definitely roll bigger and bigger like a snowball, and it was very likely that a terrifying situation of bizarre bodies surrounding the city like in Yubei City before would appear.

21:30, the joint train that had been waiting in the darkness for nearly an hour finally opened its carriage doors. *Woo, sshh*, the abrupt opening sound was extremely ear-piercing in the quiet tunnel.

Lin Lin Xian took a cold light night lamp and began to get off the train with the core team members. Kiki also followed behind, staring at the patrol drone information of Lin Lin Xian with the mobile terminal.

The group found the hidden password door of the permanent warehouse behind several emergency maintenance areas of the secret track according to the coordinates in the password device given by Grace before. After unlocking through the password device, the large explosion-proof automatic door opened slowly, and the pressure relief sound of inert gas rang out with a *bang*. After a burst of white smoke, the standby energy lights inside lit up layer by layer, and everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

I saw that behind the automatic door, it was a large three-defense warehouse like a wartime material reserve warehouse. The area was extremely large. As soon as they walked in, the bright lights made the internal warehouse zoning look clear. Rice, flour, oil, sugar, freeze-dried compressed food, canned food, synthetic protein gel, and other high-standard food materials were neatly placed on rows of prefabricated warehouse racks. There was even a separate freezing area used to store meat.

The food zoning inside was strictly distinguished according to storage standards, from 1-year storage standards to 30-year storage standards, and materials were listed neatly. Going further inside, there were even specially supplied chocolates, red wines, special cabin frozen seafood, steaks, hams, cheeses, caviars, etc.

In addition, there was a special medical material area, containing various broad-spectrum antiviral/antibacterial agents, surgical emergency modules, anti-radiation agents...

The specifications were so high that it was breathtaking, especially those red wines, all of which were expensive collections from all over the world, luxury items that ordinary people hadn't even seen.

A group of more than a dozen people walked in this clean and bright warehouse, and everyone had wonderful expressions on their faces, surprise, joy, and bitter smiles...

"Romanee-Conti 2025, good taste." Brother Qian Qian Dele walked to the wine cellar area and picked up a bottle of red wine wrapped in a special sealed container, sneering: "This group of guys really knows how to enjoy."

"Absorbing so many rich members and coming up with these terrifying plans." Shi Shi Diyuan, who was hanging with bandages, looked at the warehouse shelves that were comparable to luxury, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that this Crimson World really has a big background."

The words of Mo Mo Nika made the group feel stunned at this moment.

"You mean, this organization knew about the arrival of the Apocalypse Day long ago?" Li Yi asked in surprise.

"Definitely, otherwise this warehouse, this what underground honeycomb center, couldn't have been built in a month or two," Luo Yang also frowned and said.

Mo Mo Nika shrugged, noncommittally: "I just happened to think of this matter. Speaking of facts, I don't quite believe this judgment, because to build such an underground project, as long as the money is in place, it is not difficult for the current mechanical productivity."

"You are all too suspicious." Brother Qian Qian Dele also said at this moment: "Why would a pharmaceutical group know about the arrival of the doomsday earlier than the federal government before the Apocalypse Day? Didn't you see how rushed the federal underground city plan was built? If humanity really knew about the disaster in advance, it would definitely not be this situation now."

"Right." Shi Shi Diyuan also nodded: "This place looks like it was newly built. As for the materials, these are all storage standards for reserve materials. The military and regional city workshops also have them. It's not strange, it's just that the things here are more high-end."

"Guessing back and forth has no meaning. Since the things are delivered to the door, it's just right to give us a good supply." Lin Lin Xian stood out at this moment and interrupted everyone's discussion.

"The materials here are reserved for the thousand-person level. For us, it is definitely a big harvest. Let's divide them up here."

"That's simple." Lin Lin Xian smiled faintly: "The number of people in our several convoys combined has already exceeded half, but we contributed the most. It's no problem to take 70%, right? The remaining 30% will be distributed according to the number of people in the remaining convoys."

"Heh, your Infinite convoy has so few people. Wouldn't you be at a loss if you divide it like this?" Brother Qian Qian Dele looked at Lin Lin Xian and crossed his arms. "And these materials were discovered by you. I don't like taking advantage of others."

"Right." Shi Shi Diyuan completely disagreed with this distribution method: "I have more than a thousand people in the car. Although I benefit the most from this distribution method, I don't have such a thick skin. I take the materials for a thousand people, you Brother Lin take the materials for 30 people. Aren't you embarrassing me, old brother?"

Xiang Xiang Ningjing also nodded: "This distribution method is indeed not very reasonable. Your Infinite convoy should take more."

Li Yi nodded in agreement at this moment: "I think it should be divided by convoy. Let Lin Dui arrange the distribution ratio."

"This is possible." Luo Yang also said.

If divided equally by convoy, it is the most cost-effective for Infinite. With fewer people, more materials are taken, and the materials per capita are also higher.

"Lin Dui, I have a suggestion." Just when everyone was talking, Mo Mo Nika walked over with a bottle of red wine in one hand and a box of frozen steak in the other: "There are many types of materials here, and the needs of each convoy are different. For example, my convoy is not short of materials, just let me take some fine wine and steak, and I don't need anything else."

"So I suggest, your Infinite can choose the materials you want first, and the rest, let everyone distribute according to their needs. Isn't there a weapon warehouse? That's just right. Those who want medical materials will take less rice, flour, and oil. Those who want to eat meat will take less equipment. Isn't that it?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes lit up, and they agreed one after another.

"Eh, this is possible!"

"Makes sense, Brother Lin chose first, then I'll feel at ease, haha."

"Indeed, several convoys are currently short of medical materials, and food is not the first trouble."

"Mm, right."

Lin Lin Xian looked at Kiki upon hearing this, then nodded: "Alright, let's do that. I'll let Teacher Chen bring people to inventory the materials here, and then let each convoy make requests, and simply neutralize them."

Facing everyone's suggestions, Lin Lin Xian didn't push back. He wasn't a polite person. If these 22 train convoys hadn't come out of Xilan City together, the only possibility for him to give others 10% of the materials was that Infinite couldn't fit them.

Another point, the survival materials on Infinite were now very abundant. After having the full-effect medical cabin, the demand for medical materials was much less. He only needed to supplement some surgical emergency modules, stem cell gel, antibacterial agents, etc.

So Lin Lin Xian was actually the same as Mo Mo Nika, more interested in those frozen meat, seafood, and red wine, to improve the living standards of Infinite.

Coming out of the permanent warehouse, the group rushed to the weapon warehouse again. And Xiang Xiang Ningjing and Li Yi stayed here, waiting for Chen Chen Sixuan to bring people and Longshan No. 1 people to inventory the materials together, and then distribute them.

Lin Lin Xian had always been curious about the Star Abyss Level III individual weapon suit mentioned by Grace. There were actually 1,000 sets, definitely a big deal. So compared to living materials, Lin Lin Xian was more interested in the weapon warehouse.

The group walked to the depths of a maintenance tunnel, started a special switch through the password device, and very quickly, the door hidden on the wall began to open slowly.

*Empty! Empty! Empty! *

The huge anti-aircraft warehouse lights lit up one after another. On the black fireproof paint floor, what first came into view was actually a row of all-terrain armored vehicles!

These armored vehicles were well-configured, covered with standard outer armor. Looking at them, there were 10 of them. And what made the group gasp even more was that in the center of the warehouse, 4 Night Navigation Star-3 super cruise aircraft were parked neatly!

This was a kind of advanced aircraft with extremely strong mobility, which could carry 2-3 people at the same time. It used Hall electric propulsion engines as vertical lift and plasma pulse engines as main power. The cruise speed could reach 5 Mach, and it used Pu-238 isotope nuclear battery arrays. The wings could be folded. Except for not possessing a weapon system, it belonged to top technology in all aspects!

"Good fellow, trucks and planes, this Crimson World really configures quite a lot of things for their members!" Shi Shi Diyuan looked shocked.

"Looks like they were all configured for the Zero Element Center, convenient for those people in survival cabins to use to run away," Brother Qian Qian Dele said.

Lin Lin Xian was a bit surprised, because the negotiation information revealed by Grace at the beginning did not mention these two types of vehicles.

"This intelligent brain housekeeper actually knows how to hide one hand." Kiki thought of the same thing as Lin Lin Xian at this moment.

Lin Lin Xian swept his gaze: "Perhaps she thought these things were useless to our train convoy, so she didn't mention them."

"It's also possible that these things were left for those guys who wanted eternal life to run away. Maybe they didn't want to take them out for trading."

"Makes some sense." Lin Lin Xian and the group walked toward the inside of the warehouse rapidly, saying as they walked: "Those trucks are good things, but even if there is a freight elevator here, we really can't drive them away."

"Then what about the aircraft?" Kiki asked: "Looking at the size after folding, if we modify the carriage..."

Lin Lin Xian frowned and pondered: "No. 11 carriage has a mecha hangar. It can be loaded with a 6-axis mechanical arm."

K

*Boom! Boom! Boom! *

Huge anti-aircraft warehouse lights lit up row by row with a roar. On the black fireproof paint floor, the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was actually a row of all-terrain armored vehicles!

These armored vehicles were fully configured and covered with standard outer armor. At a glance, there were a full 10 of them. And looking further back, it made everyone gasp even more: in the center of the warehouse, 4 Night-Navigation Star-3 super-cruise aircraft were parked neatly!

This was an advanced aircraft with extremely high mobility, capable of carrying 2-3 people at the same time. It used Hall electric propulsion engines for vertical lift and plasma pulse engines as the main power. Its cruising speed could reach Mach 5. Moreover, it used a Plutonium-238 isotope nuclear battery array, and its wings were foldable. Except for not having a weapon system, it was top-tier technology in all aspects!

"Good fellow, trucks and planes—this Deep Red World really configures quite a lot of things for their members!" Shi Shi Diyuan said with an astonished expression.

"It seems they are all equipped for the Zero Element Center, convenient for those people in the survival pods to use to escape." Brother Qian Qian Dele said.

Lin Lin Xian was a bit surprised because in the negotiation information Grace revealed at the beginning, there were no such two types of vehicles.

"This AI butler actually knows how to hide a hand." Kiki thought the same as Lin Lin Xian at this moment.

Lin Lin Xian scanned with his gaze: "Perhaps she thought these things were useless to our train fleet, so she didn't mention them."

"It's also possible that these things were left for those guys who want eternal life to run away; maybe they didn't want to take them out for trading."

"That makes some sense." Lin Lin Xian and the group quickly walked toward the inside of the warehouse, saying as they walked: "Those trucks are good things, but even if there is a freight elevator here, we really can't drive them away."

"What about the aircraft?" Kiki asked: "I saw that folded size; if we modify the carriage a bit..."

Lin Lin Xian frowned and thought for a moment: "Carriage No. 11 has a mecha hangar; we could use a 6-axis robotic arm to load one up."

Kiki nodded: "Mm-hmm, with this, our operations will be much more convenient."

The group passed the aircraft and walked inside. At this moment, rows of black tactical display cabinets appeared before their eyes. The lights turned on, and inside the display cabinets appeared sets of black exoskeleton power armor, also containing a silver main weapon that seemed to be some kind of arc pulse gun, and two secondary weapons. Besides that, there were power packs, holographic night-vision goggles, small medical kits, and a whole bunch of individual tactical equipment. And looking at these Star-level III individual weapon sets, one couldn't see the end at a glance, giving people an incredibly arrogant and wealthy feeling!

"Wow! So much power armor!!" Seeing this magnificent scene, Kiki couldn't help but widen her eyes: "This Deep Red World is too rich!"

It wasn't just her; the others were also full of astonishment at this moment. Luo Yang walked up with a curious expression and pressed the switch. The door of one of the tactical display cabinets opened automatically. He looked at the parameter content and immediately couldn't help but say:

"This... this is the Lone Wolf S military-type rapid-response power armor. It should be the latest model of tactical-level power armor. Many interstellar military frontlines haven't even used this latest model yet!"

Monica saw this scene and couldn't help but hug her chest and sigh: "My subordinates all use Lone Wolf A; I didn't expect they would already be using the latest Lone Wolf S."

"Forget it, don't be modest with us. They are all tactical-level; how much difference can there be between new and old?" Brother Qian Qian Dele said with great interest: "However, with so many sets, it's enough for us to equip a thousand ordinary people to have combat power above the Diamond level."

"Haha, this time we've hit a big treasure!" Shi Shi Diyuan tore off the bandage hanging on his neck, moving his hands while saying excitedly: "With this, our fleet's strength can be greatly enhanced!"

Lin Lin Xian, on the other hand, looked blankly at the rows of tactical cabinets neatly arranged like dominoes and couldn't help but laugh.

He had originally planned to equip everyone on the Infinite with TRP power armor first, but he didn't expect that just as he was getting sleepy, a pillow appeared. A full thousand sets of professional tactical-level power armor individual sets were placed right in front of him.

The level of power armor is determined by the former Federation based on combat use, functional coverage, output power, intelligence, and power level as standards. It is divided into 3 levels: Tactical-level, Iron Hunter/Wolf Youlang-level, and Interstellar-level. Strictly speaking, there was actually one category before Tactical-level called Industrial-level.

As the name suggests, this type of power armor is used in civilian industrial scenarios and does not have tactical functions. For example, the TRP power armor Lin Lin Xian obtained from Ding Qing was a special industrial type. It was only because Ding Qing had someone perform an unauthorized upgrade on this power armor, adding a smart tactical computer, radar, and situational awareness system, and lifting all safety restrictions on the power motors, that it could basically be treated as a semi-military tactical-level one.

And the Lone Wolf A equipped by Monica's team is a proper military tactical-level one, much higher-level than his, and the functions configured on it are also more complete. The Lone Wolf S in front of them is an upgraded version of this, which should be slightly stronger than the Lone Wolf A in various technical parameters, but as Brother Qian Qian Dele said, even if it is an upgrade, it is still in the category of tactical-level.

Because the Iron Hunter/Wolf Youlang-level no longer belongs to the category of power armor, but 【Battle Armor】. It is a full-coverage battle armor truly like Iron Man. And the most basic standard for full-coverage battle armor is three-domain combat: land, low altitude, and water. It is very comprehensive, like a small humanoid mecha. Because of its extremely high agility and tactical characteristics, it is often used in special operations.

And the difference between Iron Hunter and Wolf Youlang here is mainly a tactical difference. The former belongs to hard armor combined with firepower for assault, while the latter mainly focuses on high mobility.

Judging from the level standards, the Black Hawk armor Chen Chen Laoshi currently has and the red soft battle armor on Monica should belong to the 【Wolf Youlang-level】 in this level!
