Chapter 96: Conditions (10th update, seeking monthly votes!!!)

"This also meets the basic conditions for a leader in a crisis environment. Another female, aged between 16-18, possesses a rare telekinetic ability and the ability index is powerful. Logically speaking, her ability is the most reasonable way to open the gate. So conversely, it shows that this male who plays the role of leader possesses an ability with higher output efficiency than violent door-opening, considering magnetic control or inorganic control."

"The third man has a sturdy build, aged between 26-35. He uses an M556 light machine gun, and the equipped ammunition is 7.62×51mm caliber rifle bullets. The gun's rate of fire is 650~950 rounds per minute, and the machine gun weighs 21.5kg. He carries a heavy metal sword on his body, with the hilt facing right, so he is right-handed, but he can easily use his left hand to shoot with this machine gun, indicating that his muscle strength is extremely great. Although there is no phenomenon indicating that he possesses some kind of ability, it is enough to see that he is a warrior with extremely strong survival ability and armed strength."

"The fourth little girl is not old, but she can skillfully use firearms. It's impossible to tell if she has any ability, but from the perspective of social relationship studies, there are only two situations in which a very young girl is brought along during the escape: either this little girl possesses some special ability and value, or she is a relative of an important person in the team."

"The last one didn't get off the train, and only part of the picture was captured through the camera. Female, aged about 25, responsible for driving. It is inferred that she belongs to technical personnel or personnel with low combat value..."

Ding Junyi held the mobile screen and zoomed in, raising her glasses. Although her exquisite face had no blood left from hunger, her eyes were very sharp.

"This is a Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive produced 30 years ago and a Ring Star 7F electric locomotive from 14 years ago. Both belong to the freight grade and do not possess a nuclear-powered drive system. They need to rely on liquid fuel and the rail power grid to operate. Behind them are 5 modified passenger carriages. It can be seen from the vehicle's external armor that they are products customized by a special factory. It can be judged that the interior should have undergone a series of modifications."

Xu Wen frowned and looked over. "Director Ding, so what does that mean?"

Ding Junyi looked at the few people. "Obviously, this train is a mobile shelter carefully crafted. These few people are not in a temporary cooperative relationship. Currently, the Federation government's Intercontinental-class and Eternal-class rail trains are all star-rail trains that can carry out global transport and are equipped with nuclear-powered energy. So for a team with such strong survival conditions to risk coming here, the purpose might be to solve the energy problem."

"Makes sense!"

Han Qiming nodded. "There are so many zombies outside trying to rush in. I also think they shouldn't just be here for food and water."

Zhao Yan was a bit anxious:

"But we can't help them solve the energy problem either. All the Intercontinental-class and Eternal-class trains were moved away during the Great Migration..."

Ding Junyi took a deep breath, raised her eyes to look at the silent train cockpit on the surveillance, and said faintly,

"Why not?"

*Tap, tap, tap. * Ding Junyi operated the system rapidly. She called up a surveillance log and then said, "Before the power system on the 95th floor went offline, surveillance showed that there was also a Twin Star 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive on the freight terminal platform. This was a backup power train set for the Intercontinental-class train and was left on the terminal platform during the migration. This might be what they want. So, currently, after analysis, we might have three chips we can use to negotiate with them."

"What chips?" Zhao Yan asked urgently.

"First, we possess the P3-level high-level permission of the underground city and information about various areas of the underground city. In addition to the information about this Twin Star 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive, we can also cooperate to help them obtain corresponding resources in other areas. This team has few people but extremely strong survival ability, so I think the weight of this point is 70%. The second point is the experimental data of our biological laboratory and some information about the original Federation underground city. However, these are not necessarily important to survivors, but if we consider making some interest exchanges with the current Apocalypse Federation, they also have a certain value. The weight is 29%."

Zhao Yan frowned and looked at this woman. "Then what is the remaining 1%?"

Ding Junyi looked at the few people with a cold gaze.

"It's just us few. As long as we are still alive, we possess basic intellectual value, labor value, and sexual value."

Han Qiming's expression changed upon hearing this, and he put on an old pedant's pose: "Absurd! We are, at any rate, high-level research team personnel of the Federation government. Even if we were taken to make interest exchanges with the Federation government, the value would be greater than labor value, right?"

Ding Junyi looked at him.

"You are too naive. The sexual value I mentioned also includes you."

Han Qiming was shocked. "Wh-wh-what?!!"

As soon as these words were out, Zhao Yan and Xu Wen also had strange expressions. Once upon a time, how could they have imagined that they would be treated as basic value for trading, and the possibility of this value was only 1%...

"Director Ding's analysis is still relatively thorough, but can just a permission or navigation make the other party risk their lives to save us?" Zhao Yan's face was pale from hunger. At this time, she had no strength left. She didn't agree with Ding Junyi's analysis, but she had no other ideas at this time.

"Right, and that train is still... on the 95th floor. That place is already..." Xu Wen said with a fearful face.

Ding Junyi said with a calm face, "The three points I mentioned are chips for us, and we only have these chips. Of course, there is asymmetry, and it is also possible that all three added together are not as valuable as a box of food to them. This is a consideration relative to them, but I think we don't possess any other better choices."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

On the other side, Lin Xian and the team members heard the descriptions of Xu Wen and Ding Junyi and exchanged glances with each other.

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian and took the lead in speaking. "According to what they said, this underground city has already fallen. There isn't much time during the day. In this situation, the difficulty of going in to search for supplies will definitely not be low."

Lin Xian nodded.

"Unless we also act at night, but it's too dangerous. Not to mention those unknown underground creatures, just the fact that hundreds of thousands of people in the underground city have fallen, I don't know how many zombies and monsters there are."

"Then are we not going in to save them?" Shasha said. "Didn't they say they could provide me with supplies for exchange?"

"Eh! Lin Xian." Kiki said at this time, "Why don't we listen to what they can provide first? If it really doesn't work, we don't have to worry about them. Anyway, there is backup energy, and we can find a way to get in ourselves."

!

"It's too rash to find a way to get in ourselves."

Lin Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "This underground city is comparable to a small city. I don't know how complicated the situation is. It's not difficult to get in, but what about after getting in..."

Unless he encountered the control of an intelligent system, it wouldn't be difficult for his mechanical ability to open ordinary mechanical doors. But for an underground city like this, the system was incomparably complex and huge. He couldn't cover the entire underground city with his Mechanical Heart. If he really did that, maybe he would just drop dead before covering the first floor.

Plus, the interior had already fallen and was unsafe. A slight carelessness might form a chain reaction. By then, he wouldn't have obtained anything and would only be able to run away in a panic.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian pressed the response button.

"Now tell me your conditions."

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

Thank you very much!
