Chapter 39

Another information combat room was relatively empty, with tables and chairs piled up in a mess, and traces of sleeping mats.

"Let's stay here." Lin Xian dragged a stool out and looked at Kiki. "You rest for a while first."

Kiki looked at the dirty floor with great disdain. On the other side was a command combat platform with a dozen screens and information equipment. However, under the condition of a complete power outage, these electronic devices were not even as valuable as a piece of bread.

Her eyes lit up, and she walked over with great interest. "Hey, bad guy, can you move these things to the carriage and renovate an information center for me to use?"

"Information center?"

Lin Xian's heart moved. He noticed when he was outside that there was a sentry early warning system in this base, but the whole set of systems was very complicated, not something he could simply dismantle and move away.

"Easier said than done, how can we move it back..."

Kiki pouted. "You're stupid, isn't there a freight railway outside? It must connect to the Beiwan Station railway."

"I know." Lin Xian smiled bitterly. "I mean, we are all trapped in the fog and can't get out. It's too late to run, where is the opportunity to move things?"

"Uh... that's true." Kiki said dejectedly, then stretched and looked at Lin Xian with tired eyes.

"Can't do it, I have to rest for a while."

Lin Xian found a corner and leaned back, ignoring her. He knew that Kiki was already extremely weak at this time.

Whether it was Qian Yu or Tang Hai, Lin Xian knew that they must have their own thoughts. In this environment, everyone is thinking about others dying rather than themselves. Now these people are so polite to him and Kiki, entirely because they are ability users.

Once everyone gets out of the fog, Lin Xian will be the biggest threat to them.

Of course, there must be people who think about relying on Lin Xian and Kiki as big trees, but now everyone's life is uncertain, and there are only two days left before the polar night. Whether they can survive is another matter.

"Logically speaking, there should be reserve power or generators in this kind of place." Lin Xian looked at the survivors in the hall outside who were lighting candles on the ground, indicating that there was a complete ventilation system here, but the power had been completely lost.

"It's in that armory, it stinks."

Kiki sat down beside Lin Xian, leaned her head on Lin Xian's shoulder, and fell asleep.

Lin Xian looked back at this girl, his expression a bit complicated.

Clearly, she used her ability twice yesterday to face the giant insect and fainted directly. Today, she stood it until now with a calm face. She is very smart. If others knew that her ability couldn't last long at all, Qian Yu and Tang Hai would not be so wary of him and her. Even if Lin Xian also showed his ability, the oppressive force shown was clearly not as shocking as Kiki's.

Thinking back to her pretending to sleep for three days, Lin Xian even began to guess what the identity of this girl was. How could a rich daughter have such a tenacious heart?

Night fell, whether it was the convoys in the outpost courtyard outside or inside the air-raid shelter, everything was quiet.

No one deliberately made a sound. Tonight is destined to be sleepless, not only because of the fear of facing the dark night, but also because everyone is preparing to rush out of the fog tomorrow, which is a life-and-death plan.

Lin Xian didn't rest, but put his hand on the combat platform, drove the Mechanical Heart to start the connection.

However, he soon realized that this set of command systems was not just a set of servers and information equipment, but an integrated hub connecting the entire outpost system.

The scale of this system exceeded his expectations, instantly causing his energy to drain rapidly. Lin Xian was shocked. Just as he was about to stop the coverage of the Mechanical Heart, he suddenly discovered a strange place, that is, there was a secret elevator under this underground project!

And at this time, that elevator was moving downward!

Lin Xian frowned and immediately stood up to look at the hall outside, but there was no movement.

So where did this elevator enter from?

And this underground project had no electricity, so how could this elevator still be used?

"Reserve energy?"

Lin Xian looked at the sleeping Kiki, remembering what she said about a set of reserve generators in the armory.

Lin Xian, who noticed the abnormality, became cautious instantly. The first thing he thought of was Tang Hai.

Actually, both he and Qian Yu felt that this Tang Hai was a bit wrong. Although everyone recognized his purpose, Lin Xian and Qian Yu both felt that the timing of this guy's appearance was too coincidental.

Lou Sasha arrived the day before yesterday, and Qian Yu's group arrived a day earlier. Logically speaking, Tang Hai should have known as soon as they arrived, but he only came out today, and even took the risk of being attacked by the tide of corpses. But as a local, Tang Hai directly brought everyone to this shelter that looked safer than the square, which also dispelled some of everyone's suspicions.

So although the teams were suspicious of each other, everyone was tied to the same boat in the fog. Tang Hai even opened the door of the underground air-raid shelter, so Lin Xian had to suppress this concern first.

Out of caution, Lin Xian still decided to explore around.

Then he put down Kiki, found a discarded sleeping bag for her to lean on, and walked out of the combat room.

The survivors outside scrutinized Lin Xian with strange eyes. Because he was brought in by Feng Yu Ming, no one said much, and everyone appeared a bit silent.

Lin Xian didn't pay attention to these people and walked into that armory again. Sure enough, in the innermost part, he saw a set of large diesel generators and energy storage systems.

However, when he probed with his ability, he found that this generator set had long been damaged and had no oil, and he couldn't help but change color.

"What's going on, clearly there is no electricity? Could it be that there are other reserve energy sources?"

This discovery made his suspicion rise.

He searched for a while, and simply returned to the hangar entrance of the air-raid shelter. At this time, the iron gate was tightly locked. Lin Xian quietly opened it with his Mechanical Heart and found that dozens of survivors' cars in the outpost courtyard outside were parked quietly. Many cars had extremely faint light sources shooting out from the cracks. Indeed, many people had no intention of sleeping peacefully, but were preparing to be on guard all night.

!

Lin Xian walked around, not only didn't find the elevator entrance, but also didn't find the shadows of Tang Hai and Feng Yu Ming. He didn't know where these two uncles and nephews went.

Feeling inexplicably uneasy, Lin Xian closed the iron gate and returned to the combat room again. He took a deep breath, and this time he operated the Mechanical Heart with all his strength, attempting to connect the entire base's path with this combat hub. Not long after, he felt as if a large amount of energy had been drained from his whole body, and his face looked a bit tired.

But when Lin Xian used the combat center hub to scan the mechanical structure and path of the entire base, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and for a long time, he shouted coldly,

"Damn!"

Lin Xian's expression changed greatly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. After thinking for a moment, he directly picked up Kiki and walked into that armory, locking the door.

The stench in the armory made Kiki, who was sleeping, frown slightly. Lin Xian turned on the flashlight, moved her to the innermost part next to the generator, where it was close to the ventilation duct, and the stench would be relatively smaller.

Putting down Kiki, Lin Xian turned off the flashlight, feeling Kiki's faint breathing in the dark, and he began to put his hand on the generator set, restarting the scan.

"Sure enough!"

In the dark, Lin Xian's expression was solemn, and even his heartbeat accelerated a few beats.

"So smelly..."

Kiki, who was sleeping, said in her ear half-dreaming and half-awake.

"Little girl."

Lin Xian pinched Kiki's small face. At this time, Kiki, who was exhausted, was pinched awake by Lin Xian, and smelling the stench around her, she frowned and struggled to get up.

"Hey... you!"

Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was covered by Lin Xian.

Click, Lin Xian turned on the flashlight, his expression solemn as he pointed to the wall beside her.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Xian's expression, Kiki also became serious at this time. She endured a few consciousnesses and said, "Monsters are coming?"

Lin Xian's expression sank. "I think, it might be more troublesome than this..."
