Chapter 98: Tunnel (2nd update, seeking monthly votes)

As soon as Ding Junyi's words fell, the expressions of the three people in the laboratory changed suddenly, and the air suddenly turned cold.

It seemed like a response. Just after she finished speaking, Lin Xian's voice rang out from the transponder side.

"We can come to save you. Please open the GF2 tunnel gate."

Hearing this, the few people in the laboratory stood up abruptly, their gazes cast toward Ding Junyi. Thinking it over, they certainly knew that there was nothing in this broken laboratory that could be presented as a condition, so they could only listen to Ding Junyi's analysis. And Ding Junyi walked up at this time, without too much hesitation, and said directly:

"They agreed, we are saved!!"

"Director Ding was right after all..." Xu Wen said with an ugly face.

"It's a good thing Director Ding stopped you, otherwise you would have caused trouble." Zhao Yan glared at Xu Wen, and at this time, she couldn't hide her excitement.

Ding Junyi's expression remained blank at this time. She didn't have time to argue with a few people, directly operated the system to open the downward tunnel gate of the underground city, and at the same time said to the communicator:

"The total length of the downward tunnel is 31,650 meters, with a slope of 59.5‰. The backup energy is not enough to support the electromagnetic deceleration system, so you need to keep the speed within 20km, and also pay attention to maintaining the brake shoe braking heat load. Although the 127 monitoring sensing systems in the tunnel have not reported any anomalies, it is recommended that you turn on the lights and pay attention to safety."

Inside the GF2 platform, the "Infinite" slowly started. Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan stood in the cockpit, hearing Ding Junyi's words, their expressions serious.

"Your name is Ding Junyi, right?" Lin Xian asked while operating the train, then pressed the transponder to respond.

"Yes."

"This is the 'Infinite.' I am the train captain, Lin Xian."

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Where is the area where you discovered the underground creatures?" Lin Xian asked.

"The 106th floor. Currently, everything below the 100th floor belongs to the construction-pending area. Elevator No. 3 could originally go directly to the 95th floor, but currently, everything below the 89th floor has lost contact. So you had better stop at the level 4 freight rail terminal platform on the 65th floor. Afterward, you can also directly load various supplies onto the carriage through the No. 3 freight elevator."

"Okay. What specific area are you in on the 52nd floor?"

"F13 area. Coming out of the elevator is the K2 area. There are quite a few zombies outside the passage, and there are also zoning maps. After you enter the elevator, I can open the image transmission here. By then, I will tell you the detailed route. The distance is about 1.9 kilometers."

"Okay."

The other party conveyed it very clearly. Lin Xian let Chen Sixuan sit firmly in the driver's seat, then controlled the "Infinite" to enter the pitch-black downward tunnel and began to move toward the underground.

*Whoosh, whoosh~ whoosh~*

After entering the tunnel, the train began to slide downward. The wheels made a *whoosh* sound. Ahead of the lights was a long track, and as the train constantly wound its way down, everyone on the train felt their eardrums aching faintly.

"Everyone hold on tight!"

Lin Xian shouted to the back, and at the same time, he constantly controlled the vehicle to slow down to avoid derailment and loss of control.

Ahead of the headlights, distance floor signs kept appearing in their line of sight.

【10th floor, -65m】

【30th floor, -175m】

【50th floor, -255m】

【60th floor, -301m】

The entire train, like a roller coaster, constantly spiraled downward in the dark tunnel, and a damp, underground smell gradually poured into the train carriages.

Finally, after passing a gentle downward slope, the "Infinite" arrived at the level 4 freight rail terminal platform of Underground City No. 9. 【65th floor, -325m】

*Squeak~*

The "Infinite" train wheels were scorching hot, emitting hot steam, and stopped steadily on a pitch-black platform. Through the windows, one could see quite a few broken lights still flickering, occasionally emitting sparks.

Shasha, Kiki, and Chen Sixuan all came to the windows, probing outside with the help of the faint light.

At a glance, this was a vast freight loading and unloading platform. There were also special hoisting systems and conveyor belts on the platform. It was just that this place seemed to have encountered something terrible. The ground and walls were covered with various dark red bloodstains, and there were quite a few residual corpses on the platform.

A sealed space itself would give people great oppression and fear, not to mention that their current position was 325 meters underground. Plus, thinking that the people in this underground city were almost all dead, and the underground might be burying hundreds of thousands of zombies and unknown underground creatures, it made people feel a bit chilled.

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian with an uneasy face: "How do we act?"

"Split up."

Lin Xian pointed to the downward tunnel behind. "There is only one passage to get out here. We can't have any accidents, otherwise, we can only abandon the train and fight our way out of the underground city empty-handed."

"Shasha, Sixuan, same as before. You two take weapons and guard the train to avoid anyone cutting off our retreat. Dalou, Kiki, and I will go to the 52nd floor to save people first. After we return, we will decide which areas to search for supplies according to the time and actual situation."

Without the map opened, Lin Xian couldn't search randomly in this huge underground city. They didn't have much time, so they could only search for targets specifically. Otherwise, with the floor area of tens of square kilometers, if they searched floor by floor, they would be exhausted before being killed by zombies and anomalies.

The clearest plan was to find Ding Junyi and the others first, confirm the situation inside in detail, and then deploy separately according to the time to decide which areas to explore.

!

The situation inside the underground city was complicated and unknown. Shasha and Chen Sixuan had no abilities, and their physical fitness couldn't keep up with Lin Xian and the others. It would be safer for the two of them to guard the train together.

After dividing the work, Lin Xian, Dalou, and Kiki were all fully armed. He brought that GK03 electric knife, a submachine gun, and a pistol. Kiki also took an automatic rifle, and Dalou still had a light machine gun and brought quite a lot of ammunition.

At the same time, the three also brought the gas masks they had obtained from the outpost. After all, it was a sealed space, and they needed to consider things more comprehensively.

"I don't know how many zombies are in here. Don't waste your energy on those things."

The cockpit door opened. Lin Xian said to Kiki.

"I know~" Kiki seemed not nervous at all and smiled. "Didn't I tell you my ability has evolved? I won't run out of power just by using it a few times."

Lin Xian looked at her: "Then how many times can you use it?"

"How would I know? Anyway, it's much stronger than before."

"Alright..."

*Tap! * Lin Xian stepped out first, one foot landing on the ground of the loading platform, making a crisp sound.

There seemed to be water on the ground, wet.

"Be careful, everyone." Lin Xian looked back and signaled to Chen Sixuan, letting her close the cabin door well. The musty smell of earth and the smell of blood mixed together and poured into the carriage, making Chen Sixuan and Shasha feel like vomiting immediately. After closing the cabin door, they finally felt much better.

The walkie-talkie was currently a green light, indicating that short-range communication had not been affected. Since encountering the three-headed spider monster in Yuchi City, Lin Xian had suddenly pondered a detail.

That was that the communication status of the walkie-talkie might give some hints as to whether there were anomalies around.

This sounded like the role of a beggar-version Soul-Oscillation Detector. Although it wasn't completely accurate, it could still serve as a reminder.

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

Thank you very much!
