Chapter 53: The Corpse Chaser
Chapter 53: The Corpse Chaser (asking for monthly ticket)
As far as Lin Xian could see, most of the cars were indeed smeared with some color, but he couldn't tell whether it was paint or blood.
This is how human civilization works. After the order collapses, new orders can emerge spontaneously.
In the darkness, these fragile orders were like faint flames, quickly attracting the doomsday wandering groups to come closer.
If you want to rob others in an unknown environment, you must also be prepared to be robbed. Like the "Oasis" convoy that was ready to rob as soon as it left the city, the entire convoy was directly labeled as thugs. These people are actually destroyers of this order.
"With so many of you gathered together, don't you have to worry about those monsters?"
Lin Xian asked tentatively.
"Oh, you mean the Soul Value Detector? That thing is very troublesome. It requires the power of red beans, and it is a consumable. Previously, the Phoenix Federation announced a method for manufacturing a simple harmonic detection device. It mentioned that this thing can be used for regional detection to increase the survival rate of the survivors. Some of the survivors who are proficient in mechanical components have made some. Our Wind Chasing Team has one, and it cost a lot of money."
As soon as these words came out, KIKI's big eyes suddenly looked at Lin Xian beside her, and then poked him with her elbow.
"Hey~"
Lin Xian's heart moved slightly, and he glanced back at KIKI. Of course, he understood KIKI's look.
Mechanical manufacturing?
Isn’t that his strong point? He can also rub it with his hands. As long as he has the materials and blueprints, Lin Xian can even raise the precision to industrial levels!
"So this thing can also be traded?"
"Of course you can!" The young man widened his eyes and said loudly, "These detectors are in great demand now. There is no market for them, unless you go to a large city or a gathering place for survivors. Where can you find someone who can make a hand-rubbed detector in this wilderness?"
"Not only are supplies in short supply now, it's freezing cold. Energy, heating equipment, water purification equipment, radio stations, medicines, all of which are hard currency. Drinking rainwater at night can kill you!"
"And the temperature is also continuing to drop. If it continues like this, I'll be frozen to death if I'm not bitten to death by the zombies."
The young man walked on the snow and talked non-stop, and soon brought Lin Xian and the other man to the gate of the factory.
"It's here, Brother Yun is there, you guys chat, I have to go to keep watch," he pointed inside the factory.
The original workshop building inside had become a ruin. A pile of firewood was ignited, forming a large bonfire. The orange-red flames reflected a dozen constantly shaking shadows.
The dozen or so people saw Lin Xian and KIKI coming over and turned their heads. They scattered around the campfire, some standing, some sitting on the ground, some sitting on the rubble, and some holding bottles of wine.
These people included men and women, young and old. Jiang Yun, who was among them, saw Lin Xian and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"What's your name here?"
"Lin Xian, KIKI."
"Um, your convoy?"
Hearing this, the other party seemed to be asking the name of his team.
Lin Xian thought for a moment, "Infinite Fleet."
Unlimited fleet, but with trains...
"OK," Jiang Yun made a gesture of invitation to Lin Xian and KIKI. "You can do whatever you want. There are not too many rules. Just tell us what you need. If others want to trade with you, they can also take out their own things. Of course, everyone can compete. The things are yours. It's up to you to choose. But it's not easy for everyone to get together. In addition to getting to know each other, it's best to exchange some recent situations or intelligence, be more vigilant and have more experience, so that if we have the chance to meet in the future, we can also say hello."
“For example, if you take the Jiangyu Line to enter Yubei City, some people here will go that way, while others will go in the direction of Fengcheng and Xingcheng. Although they are all heading east, their routes are not exactly the same.”
Lin Xian nodded.
"I heard you guys drive a train?"
As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, a short-haired woman in her thirties not far away immediately asked Lin Xian.
Lin Xian looked at her.
"Shuqin, from the Big Truck Team." Seeing Lin Xian's gaze, the woman took the lead in introducing, "Nothing special, our route goes from Daluo Mountain to the south and back here, and then we will go to Yubei. I just want to say that we saw a federal train transporting heavy equipment to the Daluo Mountain area a few days ago. It is estimated that there is a strange area or a big strange body. You may pass through that section when you take the Jiangyu Line, so I want to remind you."
When Lin Xian heard this, his expression changed slightly. “I understand. Thank you.”
Shuqin's words suddenly lowered his defenses against the campfire meeting, and at the same time, he also had a better impression of this woman.
"Okay, let's continue." Jiang Yun looked at Lin Xian seriously and said, "We have discussed some things just now. Now that a new friend has come, I will repeat the important news. This information may be helpful to everyone's life and death, and it is also one of the purposes of our risky gathering." "At present, in addition to the information from the big-foot car team, there are two most important ones. One is that a strange 1542 radio wave frequency has appeared in the area from Ping'a Lake to Congshan, Beiwan, and Daluo Mountain. Three teams here have received it at night, and there have been people missing. We all guess that this may be related to the strange area mentioned by the big-foot car team just now."
Missing people?
"Is this the radio station you are talking about the one you modified using red beads?" KIKI asked curiously at this time.
Jiang Yun nodded. "Yes, I suggest you quickly equip one, otherwise it will be troublesome if you can't receive warning messages from many surrounding teams or officials. If you want this red bean, many teams here have it. You can see what to exchange for it later."
"Then, here is the second one's information."
Jiang Yun took a deep breath and looked at Lin Xian, "There are corpse chasers in the No. 3 Star Abyss Polar Night Area!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed as if even the air suddenly dropped by one degree. Although the captains of the other 12 teams had already known about it, their faces still changed slightly when Jiang Yun heard it again.
"Corpse driver?" Lin Xian frowned. For some reason, he felt a chill when he heard this name.
"Correct."
"Is it a human?" KIKI frowned and asked
Jiang Yun shook his head. "I don't know. No one knows what it is. All the information comes from the dark frequency of the radio station, and it comes from the nearby area."
He pointed to a middle-aged man opposite him.
"We, the Wind Chasing Team, and their Black Sword Rangers have just escaped from the polar night. We have also confirmed that we heard the hellish cries described by the Phoenix Society on that radio station. It is said that this is a sign of the appearance of the corpse chasers..."
Crying?!
When Lin Xian heard this, he was suddenly shocked.
Speaking of which, when they killed the red centipede before, he heard a hellish cry when he approached the black energy. He was frightened at the time, but when he heard Jiang Yun's words, he recalled it.
"It is said that this corpse-driver is some kind of evil being bred by Xingyuan. He did not appear during the first polar night, but since the second polar night, many reports have appeared in the area near Xingyuan. A heavily armed Iron Guard brigade carried a large number of drones, armor, and kinetic weapons to try to enter Xingyuan for reconnaissance, but the whole army was wiped out. Only countless cries that seemed to come from hell were heard through the dark frequency radio station. According to some survivors, it is rumored that it is some kind of humanoid creature, but it is not necessarily credible. It's just that this statement has been spread, and now it is called a corpse-driver by the Phoenix Society..."
"Wow, it's so scary. Even the mecha is useless?" KIKI said in horror.
"Little sister, if it is useful, do we still need to escape?" A bearded old man laughed bitterly at this time. "Now let alone us, even the Federation Phoenix Society doesn't know what is there in the polar night. Every day there are countless eyewitness reports and attack reports transmitted on the radio. For example, have you seen jellyfish?"
"What's so special about jellyfish..." KIKI frowned.
"I'm talking about a jellyfish as big as a mountain," the bearded old man said coldly, pointing upwards with a serious expression.
"And it's in heaven!"
"Yes...it seems that there were survivors who witnessed it in the sky above Ping'a Lake." Shuqin's face was gloomy. "It's so scary..."
Lin Xian's face changed slightly when he heard this. "As big as a mountain? Is this the big weird entity you mentioned?"
"Yes." Jiang Yun nodded, his face a little ugly. "There are all kinds of scary and weird things in the dark night. Not to mention insects and monsters, the most troublesome thing is to encounter some indescribable things."
"indescribable?"
Many people looked at Lin Xian at this time, their eyes were either complicated or uneasy. Jiang Yun responded in a deep voice
"Like, ghosts."
As soon as these words were spoken, a cold wind suddenly blew, and the flickering bonfire seemed to respond. The flames quickly shrank and the whole space became dark.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
