Chapter 56

Three Starfire Type 26 semi-automatic tactical rifles plus 120 rounds of ammunition can be exchanged for a ten-person fleet's food for about five days, or 80 liters of gasoline.

And these weapons combined can only be exchanged for two boxes of antibiotics.

In addition, water filtration devices, heating equipment, and communication equipment began to become more valuable as the apocalypse continued.

Thus, red beans, or strange blood essence as called by the Phoenix Society, became a new hard currency for trading. As the Polar Night invaded and research deepened, this thing began to discover more and more value.

It can open communication in the dark tide, peek into the dark world, enhance abilities, and detect Spirit-Oscillation values to judge the danger level of an area...

One can imagine how important it is.

Lin Xian was very eager for that Spirit-Oscillation value detector at this time.

If such a thing could be installed on the train, they could determine the risk of an area when they stopped to rest, which would greatly improve the safety during the train's rest period, and also allow him to extract more time to explore the Heart of Machinery.

Not long after, most of the fleets had negotiated some trades with each other. Everyone didn't stay long and started to exchange directly.

"This friend."

At this time, the middle-aged man named Xu Jin walked over with an anxious face, followed by the woman named Hearing Shu Qin.

"If it's convenient, can you take a look at her water purification equipment."

The woman named Hearing Shu Qin had short hair and was not tall, but she looked capable. She said to Lin Xian, "Yes, if you can repair it, I can also provide compensation."

"Let's take a look first."

Lin Xian said to kiki, "Little girl, let Da Lou take the things we just talked about and exchange them with that glasses brother for his red beans."

"Okay." kiki also helped arrange the trade.

Walking out of the abandoned factory, the wind and snow increased, and walking on the snow began to make a creaking sound.

Many survivors from other fleets had already put on thick clothes, but some people were still wearing very thin clothes, shivering in the snowy night.

Lin Xian followed behind, scanning these survivor fleets along the way. Almost all of them were muddy, and the undried blood stains showed dark red colors in the dark night. All vehicles carrying supplies, water, and children were surrounded in the center of the fleet, and those responsible for vigilance had sharp eyes or numb faces.

Hearing Shu Qin's fleet was a small fleet with only 8 vehicles, one of which was a pickup truck with a water tank truck hanging behind it, and a simple rainwater collector made of iron sheet on the roof.

"Rainwater from the sky cannot be drunk directly. Boiling it is useless. It must be filtered first, otherwise the water heater will break quickly and it will be especially power-consuming."

Hearing Shu Qin patted the iron water tank, her expression solemn, "Drinking too much rainwater will not only cause fever and diarrhea due to a large number of bacteria, but also produce terrifying hallucinations, causing great torture to the spirit."

"Yes." Xu Jin sighed, "We have been looking for water for two days. Originally, we used self-made filter nets and then distilled it into purified water, but that was too fuel-consuming..."

Lin Xian clicked his tongue secretly when he heard this. His Infinite had bottled purified water collected before, and he had not received the Phoenix Society's broadcast, so he had not considered this problem at all.

Now that he thought about it, he was also vigilant. Compared with these fleets, the biggest advantage of the Infinite was its loading capacity and protective capacity, so that he could put a lot of supplies.

But bottled water would eventually be drunk up, and there was only boiling water and steam generators on the train, and no water purification equipment at all.

Before he had the Ice Shield, he thought he wouldn't lack water, but he hadn't thought about the hygiene problem of water. Fortunately, he only licked it at that time...

Because bottled water was sufficient, the train was not short of food and water for the time being, so he didn't need to use ice to make water to drink. Who knew whether the water of this Ice Shield was produced out of thin air or condensed from the water vapor around it? If he got sick, it might be very troublesome. Before, searching for supplies in the middle of the night at the outpost was too hasty. Except for weapons, food, and water, he only found some hemostatic gauze and iodophor and other medical supplies.

Even now, medical supplies like iodophor for disinfection had become urgently needed supplies...

And now it was necessary to supply heating, which was also a huge consumption of electricity.

His Heart of Machinery ability had already felt considerable physical pressure, and he had to run every day...

Damn it, when I go back, I will consume all the trailers behind, and keep only one Qian Yu's armored vehicle and my own motorcycle for backup. Try to reduce the burden, and also improve my Heart of Machinery level as soon as possible.

"Let me take a look first."

Lin Xian took out a flashlight, climbed directly onto the pickup truck, and then pretended to start checking the water purification equipment.

In fact, his 【Mechanical Scan】 was quietly turned on, and he was quickly scanning the blueprint of the water purification equipment, while checking the problem. 【Scan successful, obtained Blue Sky KK-93 reverse osmosis water purifier blueprint】

Soon, a holographic blueprint of a small water purifier appeared on the light screen in front of Lin Xian.

"So simple?"

"But it needs PVC filter membrane materials..."

Lin Xian frowned slightly. Since he activated the decomposition ability, he hadn't consumed those civilian machines and home appliances for a long time.

"It seems I have to find a place to search properly. Although mechanical source points may not be given much, I can obtain some necessary materials."

"How is it? Lin Dui, can it be repaired?"

Xu Jin seemed even more anxious than Hearing Shu Qin. Looking at him, it seemed like he hadn't drunk water for a day or two.

So just now he also exchanged a lot of purified water with some weapons and daily supplies to solve the urgent need.

"It might be a circuit problem. Can you find a screwdriver and pliers for me?"

!

He said it in a decent way. When Xu Jin and Hearing Shu Qin heard it, their eyes lit up.

For Hearing Shu Qin, if it could be repaired, she could exchange this thing for a lot of useful supplies.

And for Xu Jin, it was really solving the urgent need.

"Okay, right away!"

Hearing Shu Qin hurriedly asked people in her fleet to find a toolbox and hand it to Lin Xian.

"Lin Dui, to repair this, what do you need..."

"Just give me twenty cans." Lin Xian scanned it when he came. Hearing Shu Qin's fleet supplies were not abundant, and the dozen or so people looked miserable. Obviously, they were not rich people.

She reminded Lin Xian of her kindness at the beginning, and the ability information she knew was also told to him directly. Lin Xian had a good impression of this female captain, and he also obtained the blueprint of the water purifier, so he didn't ask for a sky-high price, which was very conscientious.

If this set of water purification equipment was repaired, she could exchange it for supplies worth at least two red beans from Xu Jin. Twenty cans didn't even count as one-tenth, which was indeed very conscientious.

"Really?!" Hearing Shu Qin's face was happy, "Great, I'll go get it for you right away!"

In fact, Lin Xian asked for cans for another purpose.

When he was trading at the bonfire just now, all his needs did not include supplies and water, and he was driving a train, which easily gave people an impression:

That is, his Infinite Fleet is not short of food and water at all.

Lin Xian thought of this, so he deliberately proposed to take cans as compensation, and kept a little bit of heart.

Xu Jin on the side was also very eager, because from Lin Xian's expression, it seemed that the failure was not complicated, which also meant that the problem with this water purification equipment was relatively small, so he was more at ease.

Lin Xian didn't say a word, while using a screwdriver to pry open the cover, while frowning and pretending to study and think.

In fact, when he was operating the Heart of Machinery, he had already repaired it. Although the problem was not big, if ordinary people really repaired it, it would be quite troublesome. Thanks to the heaven-defying ability of Lin Xian's Heart of Machinery, he only needed to use some materials from the decomposition space to repair the circuit board and water pump motor, and by the way, solve the clogging problem.

"Should be okay..."

Lin Xian was busy for a while, tightened the screws, wiped the sweat, and said to Hearing Shu Qin,

"Turn it on and try."

"Okay!" Hearing Shu Qin hurriedly patted the car door, let the pickup truck's engine start, and turned on the switch of the water purifier at the same time.

Woo~~

The water purifier started to work normally, and a wisp of filtered clear water flowed out slowly.
