Chapter 94: Underground City (8th update, seeking monthly votes!!)

*Clang~ clang~*

*Ugh, ah!!! *

The sounds of the railroad and zombie wails resounded through the sky. Countless zombies soon swarmed from all directions, surrounding the "Infinite" tightly. But at this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by what was ahead. Their gazes traveled through the layers of zombies, focusing on the breathtaking super-project ahead.

With astonishing horsepower, the Infinite, like a steel giant beast, mercilessly shoveled away the cars and zombies blocking its path, finally turning steadily into the exclusive line leading to the interior of the underground city, slowly approaching the exterior of the towering wall. In the center of the tracks, a huge gate stood, behind which was a vast loading and unloading platform, where several high-end freight carriages were parked quietly.

But looking around, the platform was empty. The various engineering vehicles, cranes, and sentry towers in the distance had long been buried by wind and snow. This super-project, which had not yet been completed, seemed to have been pressed with a freeze button in an instant.

"Is this underground city empty?" Kiki said in surprise.

"Maybe it's already fallen inside." Lin Xian said in a deep voice. "No wonder I haven't heard any survivor convoy mention this place. It turns out it was already a hell."

Zombies all over the mountains and plains, a silent underground city—except for people like Lin Xian who drove a heavy fortress train to try their luck, ordinary convoys simply couldn't drive in. Not to mention this hellish scene, if it weren't for the consideration of Lin Xian's mechanical ability, who would risk coming here to find food?

"Then are we going in?" Shasha asked.

"Go!"

Lin Xian looked at Kiki and decided, "I'll go open that gate. Chen Laoshi, you drive the train in. The others cover me."

*Hiss~*

As soon as the cockpit door opened, the zombies swarmed in like a tide. Kiki raised her hand and waved, and an invisible telekinetic barrier instantly knocked dozens of zombies at the front flying. Lin Xian didn't hesitate to rush out with his gun. Dense gunfire followed, and bullets poured out like raindrops, opening a bloody path for his advance.

*Rat-tat-tat! *

Firepower poured out.

Dalou and Shasha also got off the train at this time, constantly firing to cover Lin Xian.

Finding a gap, Lin Xian ran directly to the giant gate, raised his hand and placed it on the cold gate. The Mechanical Heart operated, and soon connected the gate's hydraulic machine. Then, with a loud *hum*, the gate shook off the wind and snow and slowly opened toward both sides.

Afterward, Chen Sixuan decisively pushed down the driving lever and drove the "Infinite" into the platform.

And the others retreated while fighting, heading inside the wall.

After everyone safely entered the platform, Lin Xian controlled the gate to close again.

*Bang, bang, bang!! *

The number of zombies swarming in decreased as the gate closed, and they were soon cleaned up by Dalou and Shasha.

*Ugh, ah...!!! *

Tens of thousands of zombies were blocked outside the wall gate, wailing and reaching their hands into the gaps. The scene was horrifying.

"Let's retreat quickly. Be careful inside here; there might be more."

Lin Xian reminded them directly. He didn't believe that the underground city was already empty. If the entire underground city had come to a standstill, it was very likely that it had fallen from within. Otherwise, the former Federation government couldn't have abandoned this underground city, which cost trillions to build, out of thin air.

*Squeak~*

The "Infinite" slowly stopped at one of the platforms. It was empty and silent all around.

The huge entrance to the underground city was like a deep pit in the earth, with updrafts constantly colliding with the howling cold air, rising up in clouds and mist above the tunnel.

But what none of them noticed was that just as the "Infinite" drove into the internal loading and unloading platform, several hidden surveillance cameras in the platform turned quietly, aiming at the direction of the train.

"There really isn't a single person..."

Kiki looked at the platform outside and frowned. "No way. Then how are we going to find anything in such a huge underground city?"

Lin Xian said in a deep voice, "We should have expected this situation. The survivors nearby have never received any radio information from this underground city, which shows that it has long been in a state of silence. But it's also good; without people, we can let go and find something useful." "But the problem is, if there's no energy here, we can't just jump down. And without electricity, the underground city's main control system must have been shut down long ago. Even if I wanted to hack into the system, I'd have no way." Kiki bit her silver teeth. Clearly, she had made all kinds of full preparations and fantasies last night, but after coming here, she found that there wasn't even electricity. No matter how strong a hacker was, they couldn't solve a server power outage.

"Then we'll take whatever we can."

Lin Xian wasn't too discouraged. If there were no people, things would be much less complicated. There were quite a few large machines here, which could just provide enough nourishment for his Mechanical Heart. If nothing went wrong, he would definitely be able to upgrade to Level 3 through these things.

Thinking about it this way, it wasn't a loss.

"Chen Laoshi," Lin Xian pondered for a moment and immediately decided, saying to Chen Sixuan, "Kiki and I will go to the entrance to take a look. To avoid a wasted trip, you three look for something useful around this platform and move it onto the train first. Let's hurry up. Looking at the road conditions, we might have to reverse out later. It's not easy to turn the train head outside, so we can only return the same way to the Yuchi section and then take the north line."

"Okay." Dalou nodded.

Shasha pointed to the flatbed trailer behind. "Brother Lin, why don't we just use the forklift on the platform to drag things to the back? We still have gasoline on the train, and that can hold quite a lot of things..."

Lin Xian nodded. "Right, mechanical equipment first. If there are daily necessities or things we can use, move them all to the train. There must be a lot of good things in this place. We'll need them on the road later. Girl, you come with me."

"Fine, let's go take a look first. Maybe we can find something useful." Kiki put on the hood of her down jacket, rubbed her hands, and also took a gun, preparing to get off the train with Lin Xian.

Chen Sixuan was a bit worried. "Then you two be careful. Although it's quiet here, I always feel a bit uneasy."

Just as Lin Xian was about to open the cockpit door to get off the train, a *beep, beep, beep* calling sound suddenly rang out in the cockpit.

!

Chen Sixuan looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was the train's transponder system flashing. She was so surprised that her eyes widened.

"Lin Xian... it's the transponder!"

"How could this thing ring?" Kiki asked in confusion. "Without that red bead, can the signal connect?"

Lin Xian walked over quickly, his expression sinking. "Unless it's an internal station call."

Arriving in front of the transponder, Lin Xian steadied himself with a complex expression, then decisively pressed the response switch.

*Beep... *

The air seemed to go quiet.

"Who is it?" Lin Xian broke the silence and spoke directly.

A mature female voice came from the transponder.

"Survivors, hello. This is the Experimental Center of the Scientific Research Force on the 52nd basement level of Underground City No. 9. Can you hear the call?"

As soon as these words were out, everyone was shocked.

Inside the underground city, there were still people!

New book is out, kneeling and begging for monthly votes, Infinite Train, rushing into the clouds!

Thank you very much!
