Clang!

Clang...

In the Yushan platform in the middle of the night, a heavy train was undergoing armored reorganization under several bright lights.

After completing the welding of the armored roof of each carriage, Lin Xian had to rest for a while. Now, it was at least 3 days before the polar night covered everything, and after they passed Yuchi and Mount Dala, they basically entered the territory of Yubei.

After several days of rushing, the team had temporarily run out of some safe distance.

15:05, the sky brightened.

Inside Yuchi Station, half of the "Infinite" had been covered with roof armor by Lin Xian and Gao Ta. At the same time, he also took the time to install wheel wing armor on the two locomotives first. Wheel wing armor would be relatively simpler, and the use of steel wasn't high.

Most of the heavy locomotive was covered in black armor at this moment, presenting a heavy steel aura.

Lin Xian and Gao Ta were busy all night, nearly exhausted to the point of collapse, and hadn't completely finished.

"How is she?"

In Carriage No. 1, Lin Xian and Gao Ta walked in one after the other. Lou Shasha was holding the radio and looking after Kiki, while Chen Sixuan was cooking a pot of soup and a pot of braised pork canned food on the iron dining table forged by Lin Xian, using a cassette stove.

The carriage was filled with fragrance. Besides that, on the table were also placed cola and fruit canned food from the food obtained at Tang Hai's outpost. Lin Xian, covered in sweat, picked up a can, opened it with a 'hiss', and then gulped down half the bottle. Feeling the refreshing sweetness of the cold cola, he immediately felt refreshed all over!

"There are some zombies surrounding us again outside." Lou Shasha opened the blackout curtain, looking at the zombies attracted by the sound of vehicle reorganization and welding outside the train window, and smiled comfortably. "Without those big monsters, these zombies don't seem scary at all."

Creak, creak...

Quite a few scratching sounds began to ring outside the carriage.

"Don't worry. When the materials are abundant later, I'll armor the entire Infinite with tungsten-titanium alloy, letting those beasts only stare." Lin Xian looked at the outside of the train window with a calm expression.

The heavy fortress had gradually taken some shape. When his mechanical manufacturing and blueprints for more powerful mechanical equipment were obtained, the train could be further perfected.

Chen Sixuan looked outside somewhat nervously, and seeing that those zombies couldn't pose any threat to the train at all, she was also relieved and continued to focus on cooking.

Everyone had fought a battle last night, and Lin Xian and Gao Ta had also been busy all night, so she took advantage of this rare parking time to cook some hot food to replenish everyone's physical strength.

Woo~

Inside Carriage No. 1, the hot air system on the roof started, and the carriage soon became warm.

Although the hot air system consumed quite a bit of electricity and easily caused water loss, and the water heating system couldn't quench thirst, Kiki was still sleeping, so to resist the severe cold, it had to be used.

"Wow, so fragrant~"

Lou Shasha looked at the stove in front of Chen Sixuan with longing eyes and muttered, "It's been a long time since I've eaten like this."

"Were you and your brother fleeing after the first polar night?" Lin Xian took a sip of cola and asked.

Lou Shasha shook her head, her eyes a bit lonely.

"Even earlier than that. Because only my brother and I were left, we just kept running, kept running..."

"That's very impressive."

Chen Sixuan heard this and said, "You have the courage to run out when you're so young, unlike me, who hid in the house for nearly two months."

Lin Xian smiled. "You had quite a lot of food at home to let you persist for so long."

"You're teasing me again. Because at the beginning, many people sent me things..."

She said, glancing at Lin Xian, and continued to lower her head to stir the meat in the pot with a soup spoon.

This didn't seem like a topic worth mentioning. Those who offered favors when the apocalypse first arrived and those who sneered at women like her when facing life and death later were all the same kind of people.

"Lin Ge, I think your ability is the most powerful in the world." Lou Shasha widened her eyes and looked at Lin Xian, making exaggerated movements with both hands. "You can create such a big steel fortress out of thin air; you're simply my god!"

"Your mouth is so sweet." Lin Xian smiled. "Do you want to eat two more pieces of meat?"

"Hee-hee~" Lou Shasha smiled slyly, then pouted and frowned. "It's a pity Sister Kiki is asleep and can't eat the fruit canned food she likes today."

"Lin Xian, I feel she is in a deeper coma this time."

Speaking of Kiki, Chen Sixuan also frowned slightly and walked over with the soup pot.

After all, they were teammates who had shared adversity, so she remained worried about Kiki's situation at this moment.

"I can tell." Lin Xian nodded.

"We still need more bizarre blood essence to see if it can help her recover. In addition, the dark radio and the spirit-swing value detector also need this thing..."

Speaking of it this way, this thing was truly hard currency.

"Later, let's go into Yuchi City together to see. Split into two groups. Chen Laoshi and I will go to the city power substation, and Gao Ta, you and your sister will go to the Electronics City."

Gao Ta nodded.

Lou Shasha widened her eyes and said, "Lin Ge, what are the main things to search for? Tell me, and I'll fill the car."

"Anything is fine..."

Lin Xian said in a deep voice, "Bring back everything related to electrical appliances and machinery that can be brought back. It's best if they are intact. Besides food, it's daily necessities."

!

"There aren't many quilts on the train, and everyone doesn't have many clothes. Things that can keep warm, including tableware and kitchenware, can all be taken."

In ordinary towns, he didn't expect to find weapon accessories, nor did he expect to find a large amount of food supplies. These things had long been searched by various survivors countless times.

It was just that for Lin Xian's ability, he could use those useless home appliances to devour. On the train, even a kitchen could be equipped, and even a washing machine could be put to use.

This was a condition that ordinary convoys could hardly imagine.

"Okay, I know."

"Are we still stopping here today?" Chen Sixuan asked.

Lin Xian thought for a while and said,

"If there are no accidents, we'll wait until I finish installing all the armor and the ice-breaking shield before setting off, and also see how Kiki is..."

Actually, Lin Xian wanted to wait until night.

Without the bizarre blood essence, the dark radio couldn't be used, and the "Infinite" entered a state of silent isolation again, which was very unsafe for them who were about to enter Mount Dala and Yubei City.

At the same time, Kiki might also need the power of the bizarre blood essence to recover.

So he was considering whether he and Gao Ta should try to actively find bizarre bodies at night. From the large bizarre blood essence obtained from the giant white monster, it could be seen that this thing either absorbed Tang Hai's ability or was not an ordinary-level bizarre body itself.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have dropped such a large bizarre blood essence. And the smaller one exchanged from the mutual aid bonfire—that kind of bizarre body should be easier to deal with than that giant white monster. So he thought that if he was lucky, he might find some guys he and Gao Ta could deal with in the dark night, and then obtain some bizarre blood essence.

This thought arose in his mind and made his back numb.

Actively looking for bizarre bodies—how brave would survivors have to be to have such a thought?

"At the latest, by dawn tomorrow."

Lin Xian said, "If it dawns at 16:05 tomorrow, we have 3 hours to take the south line of Mount Dala. If it doesn't work, we'll go directly to Yubei or retreat and take the north line."

Hearing this, Chen Sixuan nodded, and she was very approving of Lin Xian's arrangement.

Now that Kiki was unconscious, it was a good thing for everyone to rest in Yuchi for another day. Since they came out of Jiang City, they had almost been running for their lives, and the escape from Beiwan had only stopped for less than a day. Many parts of the train needed to be repaired.

And now that Lin Xian had re-covered the armor, the safety index of the entire train would be raised to another level.
