Chapter 8 Furniture Mall Shopping
Chapter 8 Furniture Mall Shopping
According to Lin Xian’s plan, if the train is to achieve a truly long-term survival cycle, the most basic issue is energy.
His ability solved most of this problem. The only drawback was that it required him to consume his physical strength and maintain his concentration, which made it difficult for him to be distracted to do other complicated things.
The second is to ensure survival, defense and food.
However, Lin Xian also knew that these could not be accomplished overnight. Just the No. 1 carriage and the external armor had taken him several months of effort. It was pure fantasy to want to realize them immediately.
Besides, he was alone, and Chen Sixuan could provide almost no help in this regard.
"I'll have to find a few teammates if I get a chance. First, I'll have an engine room to help me maintain the vehicle's mechanical condition and drive it. I'll also need someone who can do some planting..."
"For example, botanists, hydroponic experts, etc., who can provide fresh vegetables and fruits, and provide water oxygen purification or something."
"By the way, speaking of food, we also need a chef..."
"Doctors are also necessary. If there is any illness, big or small..."
"We can't have all of them professionals. We need someone who is good at fighting, preferably someone with special abilities."
"Well, there must also be a sentinel group..."
The more Lin Xian thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. He quickly breathed a sigh of relief and focused on driving the train.
"Aos Furniture City..."
Seeing a huge building from a distance, Lin Xian's expression was stern. "This place usually sells all kinds of furniture and furnishings. It's sparsely populated, so there shouldn't be much supplies, but I can get some cold-weather items, bedding, etc."
Lin Xian was not thinking about matters between men and women, but rather that since the Apocalypse Day, affected areas around the world have experienced a large-scale drop in temperature. Jiang City is clearly in August, the summer, but the daytime temperature is only twelve or thirteen degrees, and only a few degrees at night.
And the temperature is still dropping every day.
He estimated that the dark tide caused by the Star Abyss would block out the sun and have a huge impact on the climate, which might bring about a cold period of ice and snow. At this time, it would definitely be foresighted to prepare cold-resistant items in advance.

Lin Xian stopped the train on an open-air track surrounded by a high barbed wire fence, with city avenues on both sides of the road.
There were many abandoned vehicles on the road. Because this area was sparsely populated and there were not even many zombies, it seemed quite quiet.
Because the terrain is flat and neither in a tunnel nor on an elevated road, it is convenient for him to carry his belongings into the car. In addition, there is an iron net nearby, so it is relatively safe for Lin Xian to park here.
"Teacher Chen, please wait for me in the car. I'll go inside and take a look."
Lin Xian put on his backpack, took his short knife and said to Chen Sixuan, "Also, don't open the door to anyone except me."
"I see."
Chen Sixuan looked a little nervous. "If there are a lot of things, would it be better if I go with you?"
"Being not."
Lin Xian said, "It looks like this place has been looted before, so there may not be anything useful here. I'll go check it out first. If there is anything, you can come down and move it."
He threw a walkie-talkie to Chen Sixuan and said, "Let's use this to keep in touch. Cell phone signals may not work."
"Okay." Chen Sixuan responded while holding the walkie-talkie.
Lin Xian opened the cabin door and jumped off the train. He looked around, then climbed up the wire fence and flipped over to the green belt next to it, then crossed the road.
There was a large parking lot in front of the furniture store, which was now in a mess, with a few cars that were obviously broken down parked sparsely. His ability to devour cars was a perfect option, as cars were ubiquitous in the apocalypse. The problem was that it took too long. He estimated that after the skill [Mechanical Devour] was upgraded, the efficiency of devouring should be improved.
So to be on the safe side, he can only bring some devourable machines on the train and operate them in a safe environment.
In front of Gate No. 1 of the furniture store, the ground was covered with dark red bloodstains. Many pieces of merchandise that looked brand new were scattered all over the ground. When the cold wind blew, the scene was extremely desolate.
Lin Xian walked in cautiously, and the space suddenly felt wider. He had been here before, and each store was decorated very luxuriously, the aisles were wide and quiet, and there were not many people. After the apocalypse, it was even more deserted.
There weren't even a few dead bodies.
Lin Xian looked at the brand stores that originally sold furniture along the way. Apart from not turning on the lights, most of them were still clean and tidy, with various sofas and mattresses on display. There were some bathrooms on the second floor. Because the entire building was extremely empty, it was somewhat creepy to walk alone in it.
"This Simmons mattress is pretty good, just the right amount of softness and hardness..."
"Latex mattress, big quilt..."
This type of supplies didn't seem to be cared about in the doomsday, so most of the stores here had never been looted.
Come to think of it, when faced with a life-and-death situation, everyone’s first thought would definitely be to places like supermarkets and convenience stores. Who would run to a furniture store to grab a pillow?
Lin Xian selected for a while and suddenly thought of a headache. These things were quite large and it was not easy to take them away.
He walked around and went to the loading and unloading area from the fourth exit. At this time, Lin Xian suddenly found several forklifts and a flatbed truck. His eyes suddenly lit up. But as soon as he walked over, a rotten zombie suddenly ran out of the freight elevator passage next to him and pounced on him!
Uh-huh! ! !
A strong fishy smell came towards him, and Lin Xian took a step back reflexively. After seeing clearly, he immediately raised his hand and pointed!
puff!
The wind cannon blasted out, immediately blasting a hole in the middle of the zombie's head.
With a plop, the zombie missed its target and fell straight to the ground. It twisted twice and then became motionless.
Seeing that the zombie was wearing an orange-yellow loader's uniform, he was probably a worker taking refuge in this building.
[Wind Cannon LV.1 4/100]
Every time he used this move, his proficiency would improve a little, but Lin Xian discovered that this move consumed a lot of his energy, so he had to use it with caution.
Thinking of this, he drew out his dagger from behind. As a psychic, he did not feel too much pressure facing ordinary zombies. As long as he did not alarm the zombie tide or other monsters, there would be no problem.
The door of the flatbed truck was open, as was the fuel tank cap. It was obvious that someone had gotten there first. He climbed into the driver's seat, gripped the steering wheel with both hands, started the Mechanical Heart, and soon discovered that the reserve battery was low on power, so the engine could not be started.
No wonder others didn’t even try to rescue the car and just pumped the oil and ran away.
This ordinary small truck has simple configuration and low horsepower, and few survivors would choose this small-displacement model.
But for Lin Xian, it was a treasure that was delivered to his doorstep.
So he got out of the car and found a forklift, activated his supernatural power to start it, and then drove the forklift into the furniture store through the back door.
He planned to make the carriage No. 1 where he lived more comfortable. In the end times, a comfortable living environment would undoubtedly make people feel better. Since he had such a special ability, Lin Xian didn't want to live like a sewer rat in a dark and dirty shelter all day long.
