Chapter 37 Outpost
Didi, didi

At 18:45, darkness fell.

On the Beiwan platform, the "Infinity" was quietly parked in a thick fog. Chen Sixuan on the train was extremely anxious. There was only dead silence coming from the walkie-talkie, without any signal fluctuations, which made her heart involuntarily hang in her throat.

She looked out the window anxiously. The thick fog seemed to have life, wrapping around every inch of space and infinitely magnifying the darkness of the night.

The cold air condensed on the car windows, and deep in the fog, there seemed to be some unknown and terrifying existence hidden, which made people feel cold and couldn't help but think of all kinds of ominous premonitions.

Swish.

Chen Sixuan pulled down the blackout curtains and found a handy crowbar from the toolbox in carriage No. 3 as a self-defense tool. She leaned quietly on the sofa, always paying attention to the situation around her.

"They are both supernatural beings, so they should be able to handle any situation."

This was not the first time that Lin Xian did not return in time. The only thing she could do at this time was to guard the train and at the same time not attract the attention of any monsters.

Woo~
At this moment, a low and powerful engine roar suddenly sounded in the distance, penetrating the barrier of mist and hitting Chen Sixuan's eardrums. The sound was extremely abrupt, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding silence, and instantly aroused her high alert.

She immediately stood up and went to the cockpit, looking out through the window glass. Unexpectedly, she saw a locomotive with bright lights on, slowly moving on a track in the distance.

Bang, bang, bang.

Seeing this scene, Chen Sixuan immediately covered her mouth.

……

On the other hand, things went much more smoothly than expected. The convoy consisting of dozens of vehicles drove out of the main road. Apart from a few strange corpses here and there on the road, the convoy did not encounter any trouble. So for safety reasons, each team tacitly refrained from firing shots to alert more monsters.

Soon the convoy passed through a section of forest and saw a sign in front of them that read "Military restricted area, entry strictly prohibited". Not long after, a large military base appeared in the convoy's sight.

However, the once heavily guarded military outpost has now become desolate and deserted, lying alone at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by silence and desolation.

Inside the high-walled sentry post, a group of survivors who had been hiding here opened the steel gate, removed the barricades, and allowed the convoys to drive into the outpost one by one.

The night was already pitch black, and countless car lights illuminated the ransacked outpost. Inside the compound, there were several jeeps that had been dismantled into frames, a heavy TFV600 double-barreled tank with broken tracks and even its sight removed. Apart from these, the most eye-catching thing was a damaged "Iron Guard 3" military assault armor.

"Fuck, there's this thing!?"

In the Black Dragon convoy, a young man wearing glasses who was obviously a technician of the convoy quickly jumped out of the car, and his eyes immediately lit up.

“It’s broken.”

Tang Hai ordered his men to close the gate of the outpost, then walked over and said, "The interstellar army had all evacuated before the last polar night. This thing is basically just a lump of iron. We have already searched for anything that can be used."

No one doubted his words, but this kind of military armor was the first time many people had seen it, and it quickly attracted many survivors to watch.

"Wu Songlin, Eagle, look around for anything useful. Take it with you if you can." Qian Yu obviously had more confidence in his professional subordinates. He immediately arranged for them to look for usable things again. Even if it was useful armored steel, they also had high-speed cutting machines that could be used to equip the convoy.

"You guys don't mind, do you?" Qian Yu looked at Tang Hai and said in a tentative tone.

"We don't care." Tang Hai smiled awkwardly, looking like someone who is easy to talk to.

He looked back at the foot of a mountain. Not far away, a huge building came into view - it was a large air-raid shelter, and its entrance was tightly closed by a heavy steel door. Although it had experienced erosion from wind and rain, it still revealed a solidity and majesty that should not be underestimated. "There were 46 of us who stayed in the air-raid shelter for nearly three months. Now, there are only the last 20 or so people left. This place has high walls and thick doors. We can rest together for one night. We will set off at dawn tomorrow."

"Wow, Lin Xian, look!"

At this time, KIKI and Lin Xian also got out of the car and walked towards the people who gathered around.

As soon as she saw the nearly three-meter-tall humanoid war armor, her eyes lit up immediately. "It's so cool. It would be great if I could drive it. But I still prefer the Guardian series. It's not so bulky."

Lin Xian naturally also saw the huge monster. At this moment, his eyes flashed with some heat, and his mechanical heart was filled with strong desire.

These big military machines are what he has always wanted, but he has been stuck in the city since the apocalypse and has no chance to come into contact with them.

He had made a clear idea before. In order to strengthen his combat power, in addition to improving his attributes, he could further develop his mechanical heart ability.

For example - self-armoring!

Combat prosthetics, rapid weapon systems, etc. are all more reliable than fighting with your own short swords.

In addition to various types of industrial military armor, whether it is tank guns, rail guns, close-in defense guns, or various automated weapon system intelligent mechanical bodies, it would be very exciting if he could complete the swallowing, or scan a blueprint and apply it to his own "Infinity".

"By the way, where are your other teammates, or is it just the two of you?" Qian Yu looked at Lin Xian and KIKI and suddenly asked.

"There are not many of us." Lin Xian responded casually, not wanting to talk too much with Qian Yu. He focused his attention on the damaged 'Iron Guard 3' military assault armor. He then walked over and quietly activated the scanning system of the Mechanical Heart, but found that many subsystems of this armor were missing, and the core drive had been emptied long ago, making it impossible to scan out a complete blueprint.

Immediately he sighed in his heart and could only prepare to give up. In fact, he also had the same plan as Wu Songlin, Qian Yu's subordinate, to dismantle the guard plates, including the body of the heavy TFV600 double-barreled tank. He also wanted to dismantle it.

But he didn't have any tools at hand at this time. There were only him and KIKI. He couldn't do anything except devour. "Not many people?" Qian Yu raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "Why don't you join my team? I will provide you with enough weapons and food. How about it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the looks from the other teams, including Tang Hai, began to become complicated.

In this situation, they just started poaching people, which was really arrogant.

However, the Black Dragon Team has their reasons for being so arrogant. A medium-sized armed team has a very strong ability to survive in doomsday. This can be seen from the configuration of the team.

Not only are there armored vehicles, trucks, tankers, and even specialized technicians, but many other small fleets have also considered joining.

When facing the end of the world, who wouldn’t want to find a big tree to lean on?
Who knew that as soon as Qian Yu said this, Lin Xian simply refused with a faint smile, "No, thank you."

Lin Xian’s refusal made Qian Yu’s face change immediately, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"What about this beautiful lady?" Qian Yu suddenly turned his attention to KIKI and said arrogantly, "Would you consider joining my team?"

When KIKI heard this, she glanced at Lin Xian with a strange expression, and then looked at Qian Yu, "What, are you talking about me?"

Qian Yu looked at the two of them, with a fake smile on his face, "Why, are you a couple?"

"No."

"relative?"

"Not really." KIKI squinted and smiled

Qian Yu was delighted when he heard this. He looked at Lin Xian with an inexplicable look in his eyes and said loudly, "Since we are not related, it doesn't matter. My fleet welcomes capable people. If this beautiful lady is willing, I can prepare a motorhome for you alone, with enough food, drink and supplies, and someone to protect you 24 hours a day."

As soon as these words came out, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Lin Xian's eyes.

puff!
A fierce gust of wind exploded, and the sunglasses on Qian Yu's forehead were suddenly shattered, and the huge energy caused him to be pushed back repeatedly.

Click, click, click!

The next moment, Eagle and a group of his men behind him raised their guns, and the smell of gunpowder suddenly rose!
"Are you an idiot? You're trying to poach my people right in front of me. Do you think I'd be embarrassed to kill you?"

Lin Xian's eyes were slightly cold, and a powerful deterrent force emanated from him. No one saw how he made his move!
"you!"

Qian Yu staggered and fell towards his men. Just for a moment, he felt a chill of death in his forehead. When he reacted, he immediately exploded with anger and pulled out a pistol, pointing it at Lin Xian.

"I'll kill you!"

"Really? Then shoot."

Facing more than a dozen guns, Lin Xian remained calm and looked at Qian Yu with cold eyes.

"Let's see who dies first, you or me?"

Tang Hai, who was watching the show nearby, had a gloomy look in his eyes, while Feng Yuming behind him was watching the scene with great interest, and didn't seem to mind that this fragile 'temporary alliance' was about to start a fight!
At this time, KIKI came over and put his arm around Lin Xian's shoulders, raised his little face and looked at the rows of gun muzzles.
"Why, you want to fight? I'm also coveting those dozen trucks of good stuff from you. Hey, bad guys~" she said, looking at Lin Xian, "How about we kill them..." Then, she made a gesture of wiping their necks.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people in other convoys around them suddenly changed, and they stepped back unconsciously, fearing that they would be implicated.

At the beginning, the horrifying scene of KIKI destroying a whole car with one hand was still lingering in everyone's mind. At this time, no one could imagine what chances they would have of winning a fight with such a woman.

Hearing this, the anger in Qian Yu's eyes suddenly froze. He raised his hand to stop the person behind him, looking at the two of them with an uncertain expression, and his heart suddenly became uneasy.

To be honest, he was indeed a little angry and provocative after being rejected by Lin Xian just now, so he turned to KIKI, but he didn't expect Lin Xian to attack him directly!

And from the other party's tone, how come the hundreds of people on their side seemed to be surrounded by the two of them?
At this moment, Qian Yu broke out in a cold sweat and felt a great sense of threat, but the harsh words had already been spoken, and he was suddenly in a dilemma.

Instead, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xian's eyes at this moment. He looked at the little hand that KIKI was holding on his shoulder, and murmured something in his heart.

First of all, he and KIKI have not known each other for a long time. At present, they can barely be considered comrades-in-arms who have been through thick and thin together for a few days, not even friends.

Moreover, Lin Xian did not give KIKI any benefits to ask her to stay. On the contrary, his attitude towards her was not even cold, so Lin Xian would not be surprised at all if KIKI wanted to leave or switch to another team.

However, facing Qian Yu's arrogant behavior, he had to respond.

I didn't expect KIKI to stand with him so firmly. It seems that this girl is really not stupid.
