Chapter 39 Underground Elevator
Chapter 39 Underground Elevator
The other information operations room was relatively empty, with tables, chairs and benches piled together randomly, and there were signs of people sleeping on the floor.
"Let's do it here." Lin Xian dragged out a stool and looked at KIKI. "You take a rest first."
KIKI looked at the dirty floor with disdain. On the other side was a command desk with more than a dozen screens and information devices. However, with the power outage, these electronic devices were not even as valuable as a piece of bread.
Her eyes lit up and she walked over with interest. "Hey, bad guy, can you move these things into the carriage and convert it into an information center for me?"
"Information center?"
Lin Xian's heart moved. When he was outside just now, he noticed that there was a sentinel early warning system in this base, but the whole system was very complicated and it was not something he could easily dismantle and move.
"That's easy to say, but how are we going to move back..."
KIKI pouted and said, "Are you stupid? There is a freight railway outside. It must be connected to the railway at North Bay Station."
"I know." Lin Xian smiled bitterly. "What I mean is, we are all trapped in the fog and can't get out. We don't even have time to escape, so how can we have the chance to move things?"
"Uh... that's true." KIKI said in a frustrated tone, and then stretched out his arms and looked at Lin Xian with tired eyes.
"No, I need to rest for a while."
Lin Xian found a corner to sit down and ignored her. He knew that KIKI was extremely weak at this moment.
Whether it was Qian Yu or Tang Hai, Lin Xian knew that they must have their own thoughts. In this environment, everyone wanted to let their friends die rather than let themselves die. Now these people were so polite to him and KIKI just because they were psychics.
Once everyone gets out of the fog, Lin Xian will become the biggest threat to them.
Of course, there must be people who want to rely on Lin Xian and KIKI as big trees, but now everyone’s life and death is uncertain, and there are only two days left until the polar night. Whether they can survive is another matter.
"Logically, a place like this should have a backup power supply or a generator." Lin Xian looked outside at the survivors in the hall who were lighting candles on the ground, indicating that there was still a complete ventilation system here, but the electricity had been completely lost.
"It's in that armory. It stinks."
KIKI sat down next to Lin Xian, leaned her head on his shoulder, and fell asleep.
Lin Xian turned around and looked at the girl with a complicated expression.
She had clearly fainted after using her superpowers twice yesterday against the big bug, but today she managed to hold on until now without changing her expression. She is very smart. If other people knew that her superpowers would not last long, Qian Yu and Tang Hai would not be so afraid of them. Even though Lin Xian also displayed his superpowers, the oppressive force he displayed was obviously not as shocking as KIKI's.
Thinking back to the fact that she had pretended to sleep for three days, Lin Xian even began to wonder about the identity of this girl. How could a rich girl have such a strong character?
As night fell, everything was quiet, whether it was the convoys in the sentry compound outside or inside the air-raid shelter.
No one deliberately made a sound. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, not only because of the fear of facing the darkness, but also because everyone was preparing to rush out of the fog tomorrow, a plan that carried an uncertain outcome of life and death.
Lin Xian did not rest, but put his hands on the combat table and drove the mechanical heart to start the passage.
However, he soon realized that this command system was not just a set of servers and information equipment, but an integrated hub connecting the entire outpost system.
The enormity of this system was beyond his expectations, and it caused his energy to drain rapidly. Lin Xian was horrified, and just as he was about to stop the coverage of the Mechanical Heart, he suddenly discovered something strange: there was a secret elevator under the underground fortification.
At this moment, the elevator was moving downwards!
Lin Xian frowned and immediately stood up and looked towards the hall outside, but there was no movement.
So where does this elevator come from?
Moreover, there is no electricity in this underground fortification, so how can this elevator still be used?
"Backup energy?"
Lin Xian looked at the sleeping KIKI and remembered what she said about there being a reserve generator in the armory.
Lin Xian, who noticed something unusual, suddenly became cautious, and the first person he thought of was Tang Hai.
In fact, he and Qian Yu both felt that there was something wrong with Tang Hai. Although everyone agreed with his purpose, Lin Xian and Qian Yu both felt that the timing of this guy's appearance was too coincidental.
Lou Shasha arrived the day before yesterday, and Qian Yu and his group arrived a day earlier. Logically, Tang Hai must have known about it when they arrived, but they just came out today and risked being attacked by the zombies. But Tang Hai, as a local, directly brought everyone to this shelter that was safer than the square, which also dispelled some of their suspicions.
So even though the teams were suspicious of each other, being in the fog was like being tied to a boat. Tang Hai even opened the door of the underground air-raid shelter, so Lin Xian had to suppress his concerns for the time being.
Out of caution, Lin Xian decided to explore around.
He immediately put KIKI down, found a discarded sleeping bag for her to lean on, and walked out of the operations room.
The survivors outside looked at Lin Xian with strange eyes. Since he was brought in by Feng Yuming, no one said much and everyone seemed a little taciturn.
Lin Xian ignored these people and walked into the armory again. Sure enough, at the innermost part, he saw a large diesel generator and energy storage system.
However, when he used his supernatural powers to investigate, he discovered that the generator set had already been damaged and had no oil, and his face immediately changed.
"What's going on? There's obviously no electricity. Is there any other energy reserve?"
This discovery made him suspicious.
He searched around for a while and simply returned to the hangar entrance of the air-raid shelter. The iron door was locked at this time. Lin Xian quietly opened it with his mechanical heart and found that dozens of cars of the survivors were parked quietly in the outpost compound at the foot of the hill. Many of the cars had very weak light sources shining through the gaps. Indeed, many people had no intention of sleeping peacefully, but were prepared to be on guard for a night.
Lin Xian walked around and not only did he not find the elevator entrance, he also did not see any trace of Tang Hai and Feng Yuming. He had no idea where the uncle and nephew had gone.
Feeling strangely uneasy, Lin Xian closed the iron door and returned to the operations room. He took a deep breath and this time used all his strength to operate the Mechanical Heart, trying to use this operations hub to connect the passages throughout the base. After a while, he seemed to have lost a lot of energy and looked a little tired.
But when Lin Xian used the combat center hub to scan the mechanical structure and passages of the entire base, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. After a long time, he shouted coldly
"grass!"
Lin Xian's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After thinking for a moment, he picked up KIKI and walked into the armory and locked the door.
The stench in the armory made KIKI frown slightly while she was sleeping. Lin Xian turned on the flashlight and moved her to the side of the innermost generator, which was close to the ventilation duct and the stench was relatively smaller.
Putting KIKI down, Lin Xian turned off the flashlight, feeling KIKI's faint breathing in the darkness. He began to put his hand on the generator and scan it again.
"really!"
In the darkness, Lin Xian's eyes were solemn, and even his heartbeat quickened a little.
"It stinks..."
KIKI, who was sleeping soundly, spoke in my ear in a half-awake voice.
"Girl."
Lin Xian pinched KIKI's little face. KIKI, who was exhausted at this time, was suddenly woken up by Lin Xian's pinch. She smelled a foul odor around her, frowned and struggled to get up.
“Hey…you!”
Before he could finish his words, Lin Xian covered his mouth with his hand.
Click, Lin Xian turned on the flashlight and pointed at the wall next to her with a serious look.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Xian's expression, KIKI also became serious. She suppressed her consciousness and asked, "A monster is coming?"
Lin Xian's eyes darkened. "I think it might be more troublesome than this..."
