Chapter 8
According to Lin Xian's plan, the most basic thing to realize a true long-term survival cycle for the train is the energy problem.
On this point, his ability solved more than half of it. The only drawback is that it must consume his physical strength and require concentration, which makes it difficult for him to do other complex things.
Secondly, it is to ensure survival, defense, and food.
However, Lin Xian also knows that these cannot be achieved overnight. Just this Carriage No. 1 and the external armor took him months of energy, and wanting to realize it immediately is wishful thinking.
And he is only one person, and Chen Sixuan can't provide any help in this regard.
"If there is a chance, I still need to find a few teammates. First, get a wheel set to be responsible for the mechanical maintenance of the whole train, responsible for driving, and someone who can do some planting..."
"For example, some botanist, hydroponics expert, etc., who can eat fresh vegetables and fruits, and provide water and oxygen purification by the way."
"By the way, speaking of eating, there must be a chef..."
"Doctors are also indispensable. If there is any major or minor illness..."
"It can't be all professionals, there must be good fighters, preferably superhumans."
"Hmm, there must be a sentry group..."
Lin Xian thought more and more outrageously, sighed, and focused on driving the train.
"Os Furniture City..."
Seeing a huge building in the distance, Lin Xian's expression tightened. "This place usually sells all kinds of furniture. There are few people, and there shouldn't be any supplies. But it's good to get some cold-weather gear, bedding, etc."
Lin Xian didn't think about men and women, but since the Apocalypse Day, the temperature in affected areas around the world has dropped significantly. Jiang City is clearly in the summer of August, but the daytime temperature is only 12 or 13 degrees, and it is only a few degrees at night.
And such temperature is still dropping every day.
He estimates that the dark tide caused by the Star Abyss has a huge impact on the climate, and it may bring a cold ice and snow period. In such a time, preparing cold-weather gear in advance is definitely a foresight.
Squeak~
Lin Xian parked the train on the open-air track. The track was surrounded by a high wire mesh, and there were city avenues on both sides of the road.
There were many abandoned vehicles on the road. Because this area had few people, there were not even a few zombies, which seemed a bit quiet.
Because the terrain was flat and not in a tunnel or on a viaduct, it was convenient for him to bring things onto the train. Plus there was a wire mesh nearby, so Lin Xian parking here was relatively safe.
"Teacher Chen, wait for me on the train, I'll go inside and take a look."
Lin Xian carried his backpack and took his dagger, saying to Chen Sixuan, "Also, don't open the door to anyone except me."
"I know."
Chen Sixuan looked a little nervous. "If there are many things, would it be better if I go with you?"
"Not for now."
Lin Xian said, "It looks like it has been looted once, so there may not be anything useful. I'll go scout first. If there is, you can come down and move it."
He said and threw a walkie-talkie to Chen Sixuan. "Let's use this to keep in touch. Mobile phone signals may not work."
"Okay." Chen Sixuan responded while holding the walkie-talkie.
Lin Xian opened the cabin door, jumped off the train, scouted the surroundings, then climbed over the wire mesh and ran into the green belt next to it, and then passed through the road all the way.
This furniture city has a large parking lot in front, which is now full of mess, with a few cars that are clearly broken down parked sparsely. Because his ability to devour cars is an excellent option, the problem is that it takes too long. He estimates that after the 【Mechanical Devour】 skill is improved, it should be able to improve some devouring efficiency.
So to be on the safe side, he can only bring some devouring machines onto the train and operate them in a safe environment.
In front of the No. 1 gate of the furniture city, the ground is full of dark red blood stains, and many fragments of goods that look brand new are scattered on the ground. When the cold wind blows, it is very desolate.
Lin Xian walked in cautiously, and the space suddenly opened up. He had also visited here before. Every store was decorated very luxuriously, the aisles were wide and quiet, and the traffic was not large. After the apocalypse, it was even more empty.
Not even a few corpses were seen.
Lin Xian looked at the brand stores that sold furniture all the way. Except for not turning on the lights, most of them remained clean and tidy, with various sofas, mattresses, and bathrooms on the second floor. Because the whole building was very empty, walking inside alone was a bit creepy.
"This Simmons is not bad, soft and hard..."
"Latex mattress, big quilt..."
This type of supplies doesn't seem to be cared about by people in the apocalypse, so most of the stores here have not been looted.
It makes sense. When encountering life and death, everyone's first thought must be supermarkets and convenience stores. Who would run to the furniture city to grab pillows?
!
Lin Xian chose for a while, and suddenly thought of a headache. These things are not small in size, and it is not easy to take them away.
He walked around and walked from the fourth exit to the loading area. At this time, Lin Xian suddenly found several forklifts and a flatbed truck, and his eyes lit up. Who would have thought that he had just walked over, and a rotten zombie suddenly ran out of the freight elevator passage and pounced on him!
Ugh!!!
A strong fishy stench came to his face. Lin Xian reflexively stepped back, and after seeing clearly, he raised his hand and pointed!
Pop!
The Wind Cannon blasted out, instantly blowing a hole in the middle of the zombie's head.
Thud, the zombie missed and fell straight to the ground, twisted twice, and stopped moving.
Seeing that the zombie was still wearing a set of orange-yellow loading worker uniforms, it was estimated that it was a worker hiding in this building to take refuge.
【Wind Cannon lv. 1 4/100】
Every time he uses this move, the proficiency will increase by one point, but Lin Xian finds that this move consumes a lot of his energy, so he must use it cautiously.
Thinking of this, he pulled out his dagger from behind. He didn't have much pressure as a superhuman against ordinary zombies, as long as he didn't disturb the zombie tide or anything else, it would be fine.
The flatbed truck's door was open, and the fuel tank cap was also open. It was clear that someone had been there first. He climbed into the driver's seat, held the steering wheel with both hands, activated the Mechanical Heart, and soon found that the reserve battery was in a state of power loss, so the engine couldn't be started.
It's no wonder that others didn't even do rescue, and directly pumped the oil and ran away.
This kind of ordinary small truck has a simple configuration and low horsepower, and few survivors will choose this small-displacement model.
But for Lin Xian, it was a treasure delivered to his door.
So he got off the car, found a forklift, activated his ability to start it directly, and then drove the forklift into the furniture city from the back door in a big way.
He was preparing to make his living Carriage No. 1 more comfortable. In the apocalypse, having a comfortable living environment can undoubtedly give people a better mood. Since he has such an ability, Lin Xian doesn't want to live in a dark and dirty shelter like a rat in the sewer.
