Chapter 13 Ambush encountered
Chapter 13 Ambush encountered
Because they were still within the main urban area, Lin Xian deliberately slowed down the speed of the train. The order in the urban area was chaotic, and he was worried about the poor railroad conditions, but he also wanted to avoid making too much noise and causing too much commotion.
From the light rail line merging into the Jiangyu trunk line, the road gradually became wider on both sides. Occasionally, there were zombies and livestock wandering on the tracks, and he would just run over them.
Soon, there were more switches ahead, and a wide area appeared with various freight trains parked on the branch tracks.
There were also several container trains, but without exception the doors of the containers were all open, and all kinds of supplies had already been looted by the survivors, leaving only cardboard packaging and plastic bags on the ground.
Apart from that, the rest are basically mixed trains, including LTL, flatbed trucks, fuel tanks, etc., but it seems that they were not spared, and even several carriages were dumped on the track...
The branch line connected to a loading and unloading platform and a hoisting workshop in the distance. It was obviously the rail freight loading and unloading center of Jiang City. This kind of center was usually set up in front of the passenger station in the city. Lin Xian parked the Infinity at the entrance of the double-track railway, observed the route, then opened the door and came to the branch line track switch machine, put his hand on it, and drove the motor!
squeak!
He changed the switch, then returned to the car, drove the "Infinity" onto the loading and unloading branch line, and stopped in front of a platform with the words "Loading Platform No. 4".
"Hold the intercom. Even if it's me, don't open the car door because I can open it myself."
Lin Xian put on his backpack, picked up a short knife, and told Chen Sixuan, "As long as you don't open the door, no one can do anything to you."
Chen Sixuan nodded. She now knew that Lin Xian’s special ability was to operate trains, so she obediently took note of Lin Xian’s instructions.
"Then...be careful." She responded with concern.
Chi~, the hatch of the cockpit opened. Except for the hatch of the front cockpit and the tail plate of car No. 3, the doors of other living cars of "Infinity" have been welded shut and reinforced with steel plates. As long as people don't encounter the weird white monster like last night, ordinary people or zombies will not pose any threat to their safety.
Lin Xian got off the car and closed the hatch. As soon as he landed on the railway, a biting cold wind blew in his face.
He looked at the bright sun in the sky and suddenly felt that this weird weather was really fucked up.
After his speed attribute was improved, Lin Xian's movements became much more agile. Holding a dagger in his hand, he crossed several railways in succession. Every time he crossed a train, he looked towards the front and rear of the train, looking for a suitable locomotive.
His plan was to solve the problem of the electric locomotive before daybreak. If that didn't work, he would look for some supplies here and then drive to the Jiang City Terminal a few kilometers away to look for more.
Lin Xian scanned the carriages one by one until he reached the front of the container train. He then saw that the traction vehicle was a silver Huanxing 7F electric locomotive, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The Huanxing 7F electric locomotive is 60 meters long, with a silver base color and blue lines. Its streamlined body looks very sci-fi. It is called the "Huanxing Hercules" and has a power of up to 58 kilowatts. It is a standard Huanxing rail freight locomotive.
This giant must be connected to the railway power grid to move. When the doomsday comes, this industrial giant will lose all its value and can only lie on the railway and collect dust. After all, there is no oil or water on it. It looks huge but the space inside is actually very small. Few people would want to take advantage of this thing.
The Huanxing 7F is twice as long as the heavy-duty gas turbine of the Giant Whale 03E. It is a real electric monster with a sophisticated internal structure. In addition to the drive motor, it also has advanced kinetic energy recovery and energy storage equipment. It is definitely an excellent choice to use it as a temporary battery for the "Infinity".
"You are the one."
Lin Xian reached out and touched it, and the Mechanical Heart began to scan and drive, discovering that the overall working condition of the electric locomotive was good and it was in very new condition.
This time I found a treasure.
Because of his special abilities, things that the survivors completely despised became treasures in his eyes.
Just as Lin Xian was about to start this big guy to disconnect the carriages, an intermittent voice suddenly came from behind him.
He immediately turned around cautiously. The sound came from a warehouse above the platform.
So Lin Xian crouched down and crawled through the gap between the connecting carriages of a freight car in the inner lane, followed the sound, and found that the sound came from a warehouse with the number 14 written on the door.
Dong dong dong~ dong dong dong~
There was a series of knocking sounds, very coherent, and they did not sound like those made by zombies that were moving without any consciousness.
Lin Xian climbed onto the platform and approached the rooms one by one along the inside. At this time, the knocking sounds became louder and louder, and he could faintly hear someone shouting.
"Help! Is there anyone here?!"
The sound was muffled, as if it was blocked by some soundproofing facility.
Lin Xian came to the door of warehouse No. 14 and slowly looked inside the half-open door. He found that this warehouse was a cold chain warehouse with two large white freezers. However, because Jiang City had been without electricity for a long time, the warehouse was filled with an indescribable smell of decay. Lin Xian smelled it and almost vomited the canned meat he had just eaten. When he walked in, he finally saw that there were two women in the isolation window of the No. large freezer, one of whom was knocking on the door frantically.
The woman looked to be in her thirties, her face was flushed red, while the other was an old lady in her fifties or sixties, sitting on the ground, and it looked like she was breathing less and more.
As soon as Lin Xian walked in, the woman saw him immediately and exclaimed
"Please, help me open the door, my mother is dying!!"
Unexpectedly, when Lin Xian heard these words, his eyes became stern, and he thought to himself that something was wrong, and immediately leaped forward.
In just a moment, a gunshot rang out behind him.
Bang!
There is an ambush!
He saw through the other party's plan almost instantly. It was too abrupt to hear a woman screaming while being locked in a freezer.
She shouted aimlessly like this, but all that came was zombies. It was obvious that she was shouting to attract his attention.
Bang, bang, bang! After one shot missed, another burst of bullets came at him.
Lin Xian did not hesitate at all from beginning to end. He reacted very quickly and rushed directly to the door of another freezer, then closed the door with his backhand.
Bang bang, bullets hit the freezer door, sparks flying.
"Fuck, this kid is so fast!"
"Don't let him get away."
"This idiot got into the freezer, haha..."
At this time, two men quickly chased after them, each holding a weapon in his hands, one long and one short.
The leader looked to be in his early forties, with a gloomy face and a big tattoo on his neck. He rushed over and kicked the freezer door, but found that it was locked.
"Hey, weird!"
Another, slightly thinner man, looked through the window at the alert Lin Xian inside, and walked to the door and pulled the bolt, but found that it did not move at all.
"Why can't this broken door be opened?"
The doors of large freezers are specially designed. In order to prevent the low temperature from extending along the metal handle to the outside to form condensation and then freeze, making the door handle inoperable, the door handle can only be opened from the outside, but for safety reasons, an alarm button will be set inside.
But the strange thing was that after Lin Xian went in, the door could not be opened from the outside.
"damn it."
The leading man immediately raised his gun and fired two shots at the freezer's peephole. There was a huge echo in the warehouse, but he didn't know that the peephole was 200 mm thick. In order to keep warm, the entire freezer was no less than a heavy fortress.
"mom!"
At this time, the man shouted.
Then the door of freezer No. 1 opened, and the woman who had pretended to ask for help and the old lady came out one after another. Several people surrounded Lin Xian and said with unfriendly faces.
"This kid is quite clever..."
Please read the new book!
