Chapter 9

Aus Furniture City was located on the outer ring of Jiang City, and usually, it was sparsely populated. Coupled with the fact that there were no other survivors who had nothing to do and came to the furniture city to hide, this gave Lin Lin Xian a chance to completely let himself go.

Lin Lin Xian looked at the time: 16:30. There were still more than two hours until dark.

So he didn't stand on ceremony. First, he chose a set of expensive but not exaggerated sectional leather sofas and transported them to the truck with a forklift. Afterward, he found a foldable steel frame bed.

Although the size of the Carriage No. 3 door was still relatively large, it was clearly not very practical to stuff a large wooden bed in. So Lin Lin Xian planned to weld the steel frame bed in the carriage. As long as he spread a foldable Simmons mattress and latex mattress on it, it would also be very comfortable.

By the way, pillows and quilts couldn't be missing.

Lin Lin Xian moved more and more happily. Afterward, he saw a 60-inch light-screen TV hanging on the wall in a brand store and couldn't help but have his eyes light up.

"Hmm, if there's an entertainment area, it wouldn't be bad to play games and watch movies when there's nothing to do."

"Move it away!"

Without a second word, Lin Lin Xian dismantled whatever he could, and soon he stuffed the flatbed truck full.

If it weren't for the limited space in the Carriage No. 1 restroom, he would even have wanted to move a set of toilets and bathtubs from the bathroom area.

Hum~

On the small truck, Lin Lin Xian's eyes glowed with fluorescence, and the Mechanical Heart drove the engine to roar again. He carried his full harvest, drove around the parking lot road to the green belt next to the tracks, and with one foot on the gas, he directly knocked down the isolated track wire mesh wall. The truck stumbled and drove onto the gravel slope of the tracks.

Chen Chen Sixuan on the train waited for more than an hour, only to see Lin Lin Xian driving a truck rushing over, and she was stunned.

Looking again, the truck was full of sofas and mattresses, and there was even a TV, which made her even more confused.

Could this also be considered supplies?

In the apocalypse, isn't the most important thing to find water or food, or perhaps weapons? Chen Chen Sixuan was somewhat messy, but watching Lin Lin Xian drive the truck behind Carriage No. 3, she also hurriedly ran over to prepare to help.

Clang~ Woo~

The lifting tailboard of Carriage No. 3 slowly lowered. Lin Lin Xian directly jumped up with his short blade on his back, moved the motorcycle and crane inside away first, and then the two began to move the sofas, bed frames, mattresses, pillows, quilts, carpets, and TV all into Carriage No. 1.

By the time everything was done, the sun was already setting.

Both of them were sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Beep, beep~

The watch's alarm began to ring. Lin Lin Xian's expression tightened, and he said to Chen Chen Sixuan,

"You go over there, eat something and tidy up first. I have to tidy up this truck."

He had a bold idea at this moment. Since he had already driven it to his front, why not take this opportunity to devour this truck?

Even if he encountered danger, he could raise the protective tailboard of the carriage at the first moment.

It sounded somewhat risky; after all, the danger in the dark night wasn't those ordinary zombies, but Lin Lin Xian didn't want to waste this rare upgrade opportunity, so he decided to gamble.

"Oh, okay."

Chen Chen Sixuan was like an obedient and well-behaved wife at this moment. Whatever Lin Lin Xian told her, she immediately obeyed.

After Chen Chen Sixuan left Carriage No. 3, Lin Lin Xian took off the special traction hook he had made behind the carriage door and put it on his waist. Taking advantage of the fact that night hadn't fallen yet, he got off the train, reached out and placed his hand on the small truck, and without hesitation, activated the 【Mechanical Devour】 ability.

【Devouring progress 1%】

The familiar feeling of devouring cars earlier struck again. Lin Lin Xian felt the energy in his body accelerating away, and at the same time, the devouring progress on the light screen in front of him appeared extremely slow compared to the small appliances earlier.

He pressed one hand on the small truck and tightly gripped the metal car hook with the other. The reason Lin Lin Xian put on the car hook steel cable was mainly to control the "Infinite" at any time. His supernatural ability could only control machinery he touched; in a situation like this connected by metal wires, it would also fail if the distance was slightly further.

【Devouring progress 2%】

【Devouring progress 3%】

Time passed minute by minute, and the surroundings were silent. Because there were no lights, as the sunset fell, the field of vision began to become increasingly dark, and Lin Lin Xian's expression also began to become solemn.

In a trance, he even inexplicably felt that the earth was breathing...

Is this the dark tide?

18:45

The sky suddenly turned black. This darkness seemed to have no transition at all, appearing incomparably strange.

For more than two months, survivors seemed to have become accustomed to this change.

They could only pray for the night to pass quickly. Only at dawn would some survivors dare to come out of their shelters to search for supplies that could help them survive.

But in fact, everyone knew clearly that after the Polar Night, food and water would eventually run out one day, but whether dawn would still come, no one knew.

Hiding in a shelter was no different from slow death, but migrating and fleeing was even more of a gamble. Steel, cement, and iron doors couldn't necessarily block those strange things in the dark night. Going to the wilderness and hiding in a car, how many chances of survival were there?

Regardless of which choice, there was no absolute safety.

!

Therefore, supernatural users became the leaders of survivor teams. They had abilities beyond ordinary people and could bring a sense of security that exceeded steel and cement.

Before the internet was completely paralyzed before the Polar Night, Lin Lin Xian had seen many supernatural users with strange abilities on the internet. They quickly became hot topics on the internet, became apocalypse leaders that people competed to chase, and at the same time became key research and cooperation objects for the authorities.

When Lin Lin Xian first posted the Infinite Train recruitment plan on the forum, he had also thought about whether to announce his supernatural ability to recruit a large group of followers.

However, he soon dismissed this thought.

He felt that he didn't have the ability to manage hundreds or thousands of survivors in an apocalyptic environment, because although his supernatural ability was magical, he currently had difficulty even protecting himself. If he became a leader, the most value he could provide was driving the train and repairing machinery. Don't let it be that he didn't become a leader, but instead was treated as a human battery by others; that would be a terrible suffering...

Facts proved that his worries were completely correct. It had only been two months since the apocalypse, and human tragedies and thugs killing each other for supplies were already common. And those supernatural users had powerful abilities that were difficult for people to understand. Looking back at Lin Lin Xian's ability, it really looked somewhat plain in the early stages.

【Devouring progress 63%】

Entering the dark night for an hour, the devouring progress was finally more than half. Lin Lin Xian maintained absolute focus at this moment, alert at any time to the pitch-black environment all around.

He turned off all the lights on the train, and his whole person seemed to merge with the dark night. Even his breathing slowed down. He just reached out and placed his hand on the small truck, quietly devouring it.

To avoid his faint mysterious light being exposed, Lin Lin Xian even closed his eyes, carefully using his ears to guard the surroundings. There were wire walls on both sides of the tracks; if there was movement, he should be able to hear it. And if something approached on the tracks, it should also make a sound.

【Devouring progress 77%】

Almost there, almost successful...

Just at this moment, a slight sound of gravel suddenly rang out.
