Chapter 2 Doomsday Telegram for Help

Chapter 2 Doomsday Helpline
The next day, when the sky lightened, it was already 13:00 p.m.

The darkness faded away, and there was no sunrise, the sky was already clear and the sun was slightly slanting.

The time of dawn was again one hour later than yesterday. According to the daylight saving time in the area where Jiang City is located, if the sun sets around 1:18, then in about five days, there will be no dawn here.

In the apartment, Lin Xian picked up the dagger and put it in his backpack, then jumped from the balcony into the next room, went down along the predetermined route, and entered a subway tunnel from the entrance of the underground civil defense facility of the apartment.

This was the maintenance section of the original University Town Station. After the doomsday outbreak, it has been completely paralyzed.

All the zombies in the platform have been cleared out by Lin Xian, and this place has become Lin Xian's train maintenance area.

Lin Xian walked deep into the tunnel. On the dilapidated railway that had been in disrepair for many years, there was a Giant Whale 03E heavy-duty gas turbine locomotive parked.

This 200-ton steel giant is Lin Xian’s secret weapon to escape the polar night!
Click~
Turning on the flashlight, a white light lit up in the dark and empty tunnel. Lin Xian looked at the huge monster in front of him, feeling increasingly uneasy.

This masterpiece, jointly created by Alstom Transport Co., Ltd. and Longguo CNR Group 30 years ago, is a ten-cylinder gas turbine high-power traction locomotive for mainline freight transport, which was carefully developed based on Alstom's "Prima" locomotive technology platform.

The locomotive is over 36 meters long and 3.2 meters wide, with amazing power hidden under its majestic body. Its traction power is as high as 18500 horsepower, which is equivalent to the total power of dozens of super sports cars, enough to tow tens of thousands of tons of heavy cargo!
This is almost a perfect adaptation platform for Lin Xian's mechanical abilities, and it was this discovery that gave him the idea of ​​the Infinite Special Train Plan!
"Check the drive shaft, brake shoe, power turbine..."

Lin Xian’s Mechanical Heart has three basic skills, namely mechanical scanning, mechanical repair, and mechanical operation.

Simply put, as long as he understands the principles behind the machinery he touches, he can directly perform basic control and repair it. He can also generate a holographic blueprint of the device through scanning. The three passive skills cannot be upgraded.

The Giant Whale 03E needs to be driven by fuel and assisted by electricity. Fuel is now the most scarce material in the apocalypse, but Lin Xian's "Mechanical Heart" ability allows him to drive it directly with his own ability without the need for energy. This is extremely amazing.

However, because the output power is limited by personal physical strength, the driving distance is still limited to a certain extent for Lin Xian's current physical limit. But with his humanoid battery, plus the devouring machinery on the road and the collection of resources, if he can collect power generation equipment or even a small nuclear power device in the future, then this energy problem will be completely solved without any worries.

In addition to the driving locomotive, Lin Xian has arranged three traction carriages as living carriages for storing supplies and as living areas. They are all converted from the original passenger carriages.

Lin Xian came to the last carriage, put his hand on the body of the carriage, and activated the Mechanical Heart. A special hydraulic lifting plate was lowered. In the fourth carriage, there was a motorcycle parked. This motorcycle was used to collect supplies after parking.

He climbed onto the car and lifted down a welding machine. Next to the track, there was a pile of steel, mainly rolled steel plates, high-hardened tungsten steel, and high-manganese steel. These materials were originally used for protective armor of chariots and tanks. Lin found them in the warehouse of Jiang City Special Steel Factory. They were ideal materials for building his steel fortress.

hum~
A screen of light flickered in front of Lin Xian's eyes, and several armor blueprints drawn by himself appeared in front of him. In addition, there were also some firearms blueprints, such as a Glock 23 0.40in pistol blueprint, which he had seized in a fight with a group of thugs. After using his [Mechanical Scanning] skill, it was turned into a blueprint and included in the list.

But the problem is

"120 grams of high-alloy chromium-molybdenum steel, 300 grams of basic steel, 195 grams of plastic..."

When Lin Xian saw it, his head started to hurt.

Compared with this kind of standard equipment after scanning, the most convenient way for Lin Xian at this time is to use his mechanical manufacturing skills and existing materials for DIY assembly.

Click~click~bang~!

A glimmer appeared in Lin Xian's eyes, and the steel in front of him suddenly floated up out of thin air. Then, under a strong squeezing pressure, it was quickly rolled and composited together. In just ten minutes, a 1.5*0.9 composite armor plate appeared in front of him.

Manufacturing and assembly require extreme concentration, and since he is alone, Lin Xian can only prepare the train before daybreak.

After a few hours, several sets of 'exterior windows' with grilles and double-layer composite armor plates were finally assembled. Then Lin Xian pushed out a small mobile operating crane from the rear compartment, moved these heavy armors to the edge of the compartment one by one, and then began welding them using a welding machine.

The driver's passage at the front of the Jujing 03E heavy-duty gas turbine locomotive is connected to all the carriages behind it and is equipped with isolation gates.

The entire train was named "Infinity" by Lin Xian. He converted carriage No. 1 into a simple living area, and most of the supplies he collected were placed on it. Carriage No. 2 was temporarily vacant, as he planned to use it to grow vegetables and cultivate some green plants.

The ideal situation is actually a plant cultivation area that can do water and oxygen circulation, but Lin Xian knows nothing about this, so it can only be left vacant temporarily. The last carriage No. 3 is used to store various tools, motorcycles, cranes, welding machines, and materials in the future.

Just as he was busy building his own mobile fortress, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Lin Xian was shocked because most of the satellites had been sent down and the satellite call function rarely worked anymore. He kept his mobile phone powered mainly to store data, maps and for later emergencies, but he didn't expect that there would still be a call.

When the phone was picked up, a somewhat nervous female voice came from the other end.

"Lin Xian, are you still in Jiangcheng? I...I want to join your rail train project."

The person on the other end of the phone was named Chen Sixuan, Lin Xian’s university teacher. In the few days after the doomsday, she was the only person in Lin Xian’s address book who could be contacted.

Chen Sixuan was twenty-seven years old, beautiful as a flower, and had no boyfriend. She was a rare species in Jiangcheng's atmosphere of early marriage and early childbearing before the end of the world.

As I recall, this university foreign language teacher was tall and was born into an educated family. She was a typical white, wealthy and beautiful city girl, and was a popular figure in the academy.

At the beginning, Lin Xian mentioned his train plan to her, but was rejected by Chen Sixuan because Lin Xian did not reveal his special abilities to her, which made her feel that the plan sounded unbelievable. At that time, Chen Sixuan still insisted on the naive idea that a rescue team would come to rescue her.

However, when Jiang City encountered its first polar night, countless people died in despair. The weirdness in the darkness continued to devour the last sanity of the survivors. Lin Xian also witnessed many tragic human conditions after the collapse of social order. In this environment, women, unless they are psychics, are worth less than a barrel of gasoline in those survival teams!
He originally thought that Chen Sixuan had left with a certain team or had died. When he suddenly received her call, he was actually a little surprised. If she had not escaped, how had she survived for so long?
At this moment, in an apartment, the door was locked and the curtains were completely drawn. Chen Sixuan, with messy hair and dressed in home clothes, curled up in the corner of the sofa with a nervous expression, watching the last bit of battery on her mobile phone. Her originally warm and plump lips were now pale and she couldn't help trembling.

For two months, she had been going through the darkest time of her life, with food shortages and long nights.

Every night I was awakened by terrifying noises in the dark. I felt dazed and my body became thinner.

At the beginning, she was still waiting for the official rescue team to show up, and many of her former followers even delivered supplies to her door. However, when she learned that the entire world order had collapsed and the polar night was approaching, Chen Sixuan realized that she was in a desperate situation.

So she began to seek help.

But after the polar night, most of the people in Jiang City seemed to have disappeared from the world, and the remaining people had begun to migrate and flee. Those teams that were willing to accept her asked her to send them a nude photo first to see the quality.

At this moment, she finally realized that she was no longer the popular teacher in the university, nor was she Chen Sixuan who was pursued by the young men in Jiang City. Instead, she was a burden. In this end times, even if she had some beauty, she had to take the initiative to offer herself to others in order to be chosen.

Just when Chen Sixuan was about to lose her mind, she suddenly thought of Lin Xian.

All the power banks are out of power and the mobile phone only has a little bit of power left.

At this moment, no matter what crazy plan it was, or even as long as the phone call could be connected, there was hope for her.

"Mr. Chen, are you okay?"

Lin Xian on the other end of the phone sounded calm and steady, which immediately made Chen Sixuan feel relieved. "Student Lin, I... I'm still alive. Are you... still in Jiang City?"

Chen Sixuan bit her fingers tightly.

After a long silence, Lin Xian's voice finally came from the other end of the phone again.

"exist."

Chen Sixuan shuddered all over, and she let out a long sigh of relief. There was hope in her eyes, and she quickly said to the phone

"Where are you? Can you come pick me up..."

As soon as she said it, she immediately regretted it.

This sentence sounded ridiculous. She remembered that she had contacted a team that was preparing to escape to the east a few days ago. She said this sentence subconsciously when she called them. As a result, the person on the other end scolded her in an almost mocking tone. The implication was probably: At this time, you still think of yourself as a princess?
So she quickly changed the topic, “No, no, no… I mean, where are you? Can I come to your place?”

In order to survive, she had no choice but to give it a try. Otherwise, when her phone turned off, she would only have two choices: continue to stay in the apartment and wait to die, or go out aimlessly and be torn into pieces by zombies.

"Teacher Chen." Lin Xian said on the other end of the phone, "Do you have any supplies, or have you awakened your superpowers?"

Hearing this, Chen Sixuan felt a chill in her heart.

She looked at the empty apartment, her lips trembling, and said in a voice that was almost tearful, "No... No."

"If, if you want me..."

Chen Sixuan would never have thought that one day she would say such fawning words to one of her students.

But before she could finish her words, the person on the other end of the phone interrupted her, "I'm sorry, Teacher Chen, my supplies are limited. If you want to join my plan, you must have corresponding value. Sexual needs are not worth mentioning to me."

Since no one believed in his train plan, he built his own train to escape the polar night. He didn't do this out of kindness.

Lin Xian's voice was neither calm nor dull. While it gave people a great sense of security, it also brought Chen Sixuan endless despair.

"OK then……"

"Good luck to you, Teacher Chen." Lin Xian looked indifferent, sighed in his heart, and prepared to hang up the phone.

Chen Sixuan on the other side was icy cold. Just when Lin Xian was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly grabbed the phone like crazy and shouted

"and many more!"

She opened her eyes wide, her chest rising and falling rapidly, and said loudly
"The Star Ring Orbit was built in 2039. Starting from Dragon Country, it covers a total of 126 countries and 34 regions around the world, spanning nine continents and four oceans, including the thirteen Star Abyss Annihilation Zones that have appeared in the world. The total length of the orbit exceeds 32 kilometers. My father was a first-level maintenance engineer of the Star Ring Orbit. I know the locations of all 1266 stopovers and 625 spare track sections used for maintenance..."

"Also, I am familiar with many languages, I can act as your translator, and I eat very little, and I can cook a little. As long as...as long as you take me away, I can agree to all your requests!"

For the last part, she almost shouted out with all her strength!
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Chen Sixuan's expression was tense and her body was trembling. The fingernails on her thighs had left bloody marks from excessive force.

"Location, I'll pick you up."

After hearing these six words, Chen Sixuan felt dizzy. After coming to her senses, she hurriedly said:
"I...I'm at 3, Building 901, Yushui Garden, Jiangzhou Road!"

beep~
Before she could repeat the address a second time, her phone went black and turned off.

She pressed it again tentatively, but there was no response. She was not sure whether Lin Xian had really heard her address, and she bit her lower lip in anxiety.

"what!"

She screamed like crazy and threw her phone against the wall, breaking it into pieces.

"He heard it, he must have heard it..."

At this moment, Chen Sixuan had to keep comforting herself. In order to relieve her negative emotions, she immediately stood up and began to look through all the books related to circumstellar orbits in her home.

On the other side, Lin Xian looked at the hung up phone and couldn't help but sigh.

Teacher Chen, whom he once admired and respected, was now begging him in an almost pleading tone, and was even willing to provide him with sexual services. This ghostly end of the world really turned people into evil ghosts.

Chen Sixuan's words really touched him. The circumstellar orbit surrounds the entire blue planet, and there are all kinds of unknowns along the way. If someone is relatively familiar with the route, it is better than a dead map that has lost its positioning and navigation functions. What's more, the map will not mark maintenance sections or special connecting routes.

Of course, there is another point. Chen Sixuan can be considered an acquaintance of Lin Xian. In the end times, people will always unconsciously develop a sense of group consciousness, and familiar people are the easiest to trust.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xian looked at the time and immediately got back to welding work.

There is not enough time today and the train preparation process cannot be delayed.

Didi, didi~
18:00, 45 minutes until dark.

Lin Xian was sweating profusely as he looked at the armored windows on both sides of the third carriage that were as thick as tanks, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Next, there will be generators, heating equipment, water purification equipment, refrigerators, and an intelligent monitoring system."

"There are also armed protection, automatic firepower, radar systems and so on..."

"Oh, right, the living area should have a big bed and a bathtub. It would be best if there is also an entertainment area and a game area. Wouldn't there be tens of thousands of movie, TV and game sets?"

Lin Xian's eyes became brighter and brighter, and at this moment he felt more and more.

In this doomsday, life is becoming more and more hopeful!
