Chapter 67: Lunch

Clang!

Clang…

At the Yushan station in the dead of night, a heavy train was undergoing armor refitting under several bright lights.

After finishing the armored roof welding for each car, Lin Xian had to take a break. It was at least three days before the polar night would cover them, and after leaving Yuchi and crossing Mount Daluo, they would basically enter the territory of Yubei.

After several days of rushing, the team had temporarily gained some safe distance.

At 3:05 PM, the sky brightened.

Inside Yuchi Station, half of the Infinity had already been covered with roof armor by Lin Xian and Dalou. At the same time, he had also taken the time to install the wheel wing armor on the two locomotives first. The wheel wing armor was relatively simple and didn’t require a high amount of steel.

More than half of the entire heavy locomotive was now covered in black armor, exuding a heavy, metallic aura.

Lin Xian and Dalou had been busy all night, almost to the point of exhaustion, and they still weren’t completely finished.

“How is she?”

In car 1, Lin Xian and Dalou walked in one after the other. Shasha was holding the radio and watching over KIKI, while Chen Sixuan was cooking a pot of soup and a pot of braised pork canned food on the iron dining table Lin Xian had built, using a portable stove.

The car was filled with a fragrant aroma. In addition, on the table were cola and canned fruit from the food they had obtained from Tang Hai’s outpost. Lin Xian, drenched in sweat, picked up a can, opened it with a hiss, and chugged half of it. Feeling the refreshing sweetness of the cold cola, he instantly felt refreshed!

“Some more zombies have gathered outside.” Shasha opened the blackout curtain and looked at the zombies attracted by the sound of the vehicle’s refitting and welding outside the window. She smiled with relief. “Without those big monsters, these zombies don’t seem scary at all.”

Scratch, scratch…

The sound of scratching began to be heard outside the car.

“Don’t worry. When we have enough materials later, I’ll cover the entire Infinity with Tungsten-Titanium Alloy armor. Those bastards will only be able to stare.” Lin Xian looked out the window calmly.

The heavy fortress was gradually taking shape. When his mechanical manufacturing improved and he obtained more powerful mechanical blueprints, the train could be further perfected.

Chen Sixuan looked outside with some nervousness. Seeing that the zombies posed no threat to the train, she also relaxed and continued to focus on cooking.

Everyone had fought a big battle last night, and Lin Xian and Dalou had been busy all night, so she took advantage of this rare stop to cook some hot food to replenish everyone’s energy.

Whoosh~

In car 1, the hot air system of the air conditioner on the ceiling started, and the car quickly warmed up.

Although the hot air system consumed a lot of electricity and easily caused moisture loss, and the water heating system was better, it couldn’t solve the immediate problem. KIKI was still unconscious. To resist the severe cold, they had to use what they had.

“Wow, it smells so good~”

Shasha stared at the stove in front of Chen Sixuan, her eyes full of longing. She murmured, “It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten like this.”

“Did you and your brother start fleeing after the first polar night?” Lin Xian asked, taking a sip of cola.

Shasha shook her head, her eyes a little sad.

“Even earlier than that. Because it was just me and my brother left, we just kept running and running…”

“That’s amazing.”

Chen Sixuan said, “You’re so young and have the courage to run outside. Unlike me, I hid in my house for almost two months.”

Lin Xian smiled. “You had a lot of food at home to last you that long.”

“You’re teasing me again. It’s because in the beginning, many people sent me things…”

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Xian and then continued to stir the meat in the pot with a spoon.

This didn’t seem to be a topic worth talking about. Those who had been eager to please her when the apocalypse first came and those who later sneered at women like her in the face of life and death were the same kind of people.

“Brother Lin, I think your ability is the most powerful in the world.” Shasha’s eyes widened as she looked at Lin Xian, making exaggerated gestures with her hands. “You can create such a big steel fortress out of thin air. You’re simply my god!”

“Such a sweet talker,” Lin Xian smiled. “Are you trying to get two more pieces of meat?”

“Hee hee~”

Shasha smiled slyly, then pouted and frowned. “It’s a pity Sister KIKI is asleep. She can’t eat her favorite canned fruit today.”

“Lin Xian, I feel like she’s in a deep coma this time.”

Speaking of KIKI, Chen Sixuan also frowned slightly. She walked over with the soup pot and said.

After all, she was a teammate who had gone through thick and thin together. She was still worried about KIKI’s condition.

“I can see that,” Lin Xian nodded.

“We need more Anomaly Blood Crystals to see if they can help her recover. Also, the dark radio and the Ethereal Fluctuation detector also need this thing…”

In that case, this thing was really a hard currency.

“Later, we’ll go into Yuchi City together. We’ll split into two groups. Teacher Chen and I will go to the city’s power transformer station. Dalou, you and your sister will go to the electronics market.”

Dalou nodded.

Shasha’s eyes widened. “Brother Lin, what should we mainly look for? Tell me, and I’ll fill the car to the brim.”

“Anything…”

Lin Xian said in a deep voice, “Bring back all the electrical and mechanical related things you can carry, preferably intact. Besides that, it’s daily necessities.”

“There aren’t many blankets on the train, and we don’t have many clothes. Anything that can keep us warm, including tableware and kitchenware, can be taken.”

In an ordinary town, he didn’t expect to find things like weapon accessories, let alone a large amount of food and supplies. These things had probably been scavenged by various survivors countless times.

However, with Lin Xian’s ability, he could devour those useless home appliances. He could even equip a kitchen on the train, and even a washing machine could be useful.

These were conditions that ordinary convoys could hardly imagine.

“Okay, I understand.”

“Then are we still stopping here today?” Chen Sixuan asked.

Lin Xian thought for a moment and said, “If there are no accidents, we’ll wait until I’ve installed all the armor and the ice-breaking shield before we set off. We also need to see how KIKI is doing…”

Actually, Lin Xian wanted to wait until night.

Without the Anomaly Blood Crystal, the dark radio couldn’t be used, and the Infinity had once again entered a state of silent isolation. This was very unsafe for them as they were about to enter Mount Daluo and Yubei City.

At the same time, KIKI might also need the power of the Anomaly Blood Crystal to recover.

So he was considering whether he and Dalou should try to actively look for anomalies at night. The large Anomaly Blood Crystal they had obtained from the giant white monster showed that this thing had either absorbed Tang Hai’s ability or was not an ordinary level of anomaly itself.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have dropped such a large Anomaly Blood Crystal. And the smaller one they had traded for at the mutual aid bonfire, that kind of anomaly should be easier to deal with than the giant white monster. So he thought that if they were lucky, they might find some guys in the dark that he and Dalou could deal with, and then get some Anomaly Blood Crystals.

The moment this idea appeared in his mind, a chill ran down his spine.

Actively looking for anomalies? What kind of brave survivor would dare to have such an idea?

“At the latest, tomorrow morning.”

Lin Xian said, “If it gets light at 4:05 PM tomorrow, we’ll have 3 hours to take the southern line of Mount Daluo. If that doesn’t work, we’ll go directly to Yubei or turn back and take the northern line.”

Chen Sixuan nodded in agreement with Lin Xian’s arrangement.

Now that KIKI was unconscious, it was a good thing for everyone to rest for another day in Yuchi. Since leaving Jiang City, they had been constantly on the run. They had only rested for less than a day after escaping from North Bay, and many parts of the train needed to be repaired.

And now that Lin Xian had re-covered it with armor, the overall safety index of the train would be raised to another level.
