Chapter 178 Candlelight
Chapter 178 Candlelight (Monthly Pass Plus, Thank You!)
Strange things happened frequently, and Lin Xian was filled with deep uneasiness.
The preparation center in his hand lit up, and Lin Xian looked at the progress of the material conversion inside. Basically, all the materials needed for 1130 were already available.
"Hurry up and get one, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."
"Lin Xian."
As soon as we entered carriage No. 2, KIKI's voice was heard. At this time, Chen Sixuan and Shasha were gathered in front of the information center, watching KIKI's drone images.
"Come and take a look." Chen Sixuan also called Lin Xian.
He walked over and found that the drone was flying towards the town far away from the platform. What was strange was that under the cover of night, there were faint lights in many houses in the town, as if gas lamps or candles were lit.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xian frowned.
“How many people live in this town?”
"Strange." KIKI floated up on the stool with legs crossed, and kept getting closer to the drone. However, due to the distance, only some outlines of the buildings could be seen: "If it was a survivor, who would light the lamp like this?"
Lin Xian also understood KIKI's meaning immediately. These lights looked as if it was before doomsday, when there was a power outage in the town and the residents were all lighting candles.
To put it simply, it doesn't feel like the end of the world at all...
"This town is so strange. Not only are there people here, but the monsters in the dark can't get in. Could it be that there are some special people with special powers?" KIKI thought, holding his chin.
"With such a special power, wouldn't it be invincible?" Shasha widened her eyes and opened her hands, exaggeratingly saying, "One person can protect everyone."
Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian: "Lin Xian, what do you think?"
Lin Xian shook his head, not having any thoughts at this moment: "I don't know either, but judging from the situation, we are safe for the time being."
"Girl, I asked you to scout the way ahead just now, how is it going?"
"It's just a train of chemical tankers. We just need to move it out of the way. The road ahead is fine."
"it is good."
"Should we go to town?"
"Need not."
Lin Xian looked out the window at the dark, deserted platform and the outline of the town in the distance, and said, "Even if we have to go, let's wait until daytime. Let's move the tanker truck out of the way to keep the train passage from being blocked, and then we'll see what happens tonight. Someone specifically asked us to turn to this branch line, and I'm worried there might be trouble. Anyway, let's stay put for now and use this place to avoid the dark night."
Chen Sixuan and KIKI nodded at the same time. Lin Xian was still very cautious. In such a strange situation, it was indeed an unwise decision to get off the car and explore the town.
Chi~
The door of the cockpit opened, and Lin Xian and KIKI got out one after another. Dalou and Lu Xingchen also got out and stood guard beside the car.
The train platform in Yu Town is a large chemical freight platform. There is a closed warehouse on one side of the platform. Under the moonlight, the pitch-black platform is shrouded in a layer of clear light and is silent.
Lin Xian moved swiftly along the tracks to the locomotive of the freight train. The Mechanical Heart started to cover the entire train.
Soon, the scan is complete, woo~
He started the freight tank car, KIKI helped him change the switch, and then Lin quickly moved the freight tank car off the track under the light of Infinity, opening the track passage for Infinity.
Chirp~
There were the low buzzing sounds of insects all around him, and he was anxious and extremely alert, but nothing unexpected happened as he had imagined, and he completed the task of moving the car very smoothly.
After everything was done, he didn't hesitate and asked everyone to get in the car.
When Lin Xian was about to step into the Infinity cockpit, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the empty, dark platform behind him, and inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.
"What's wrong?" Chen Sixuan asked in a low voice.
Lin Xian turned around, got into the car without saying anything.
Chi~
The cockpit door closed and everyone felt safe.
But Lin Xian didn't know why, he just had a feeling that something was watching them.
"I'll be on guard tonight. Teacher Chen, girl, you all take a nap. Shuqin and I will be on duty." Lin Xian called everyone over and began to make arrangements. "I won't sleep." KIKI said at this time: "I'm in good spirits. Aren't you going to assemble the 1130 close-in defense gun and engineering robot tonight? I can help you debug the system."
Lin Xian looked at her and nodded.
"alright."
At this time, Lin Xian noticed that Shasha looked a little strange, so he asked, "Shasha, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Lin~" Sasha frowned slightly: "I feel a little scary here, and I feel uneasy."
"Me too……"
Chen Sixuan also said in a deep voice: "Although those monsters are gone, this town always gives me an uncomfortable feeling."
"So we'll stay in the train until dawn." Lin Xian said directly: "I'll seal the train, and I'll be the only one who can open the doors. You guys can rest first."
Although Lin Xian was full of doubts at this time, as a team leader, he did not want to deliberately convey some negative feelings of uneasiness. After he finished explaining, everyone felt relieved. Those who needed to rest went to rest, and those who needed to be on duty began to keep watch.
"Lin Xian."
After everyone left, Chen Sixuan stood at the door of the bedroom hatch in carriage No. 1 and said to Lin Xian, "Be careful."
Lin Xian nodded: "Yes, I know."
He opened the Heterogeneous Cube at this time and scanned the car body again.
[Ding! Reflex detection is being performed using non-mechanical force. ]
[Detection successful, no risk of fear in the train, dark forces have been shielded from invasion. ]
Then he picked up the soul-dangling value tester and pressed the button of the tester.
【0】
"There seems to be nothing unusual inside or outside the car."
Lin Xian's eyes moved slightly. He didn't know why. Although he got a good result, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Can it block strange entities... people with special abilities?"
"still……"
While thinking, he suddenly looked at the Rubik's Cube he had just used, and frowned: "Could it be some kind of taboo?"
All Lin Xian could think of were these two situations, and after thinking about this, he actually preferred the latter.
If a survivor possessed such a power, he would be invincible, even more powerful than his mechanical heart.
"If it is a taboo..."
Lin Xian had some ideas in his mind at this time. It was already incredible that there was a magic weapon like the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube in the car that could block the infectious power of darkness. If there was something that could isolate the strange body, wouldn't all the major survivor organizations in the world fight for it?
"Forget it, let's wait and see tomorrow."
Lin Xian connected the transponder system in the car to the communicator, held it in his hand, and then inspected the car all the way to the rear car.
Many people in the living compartment were already asleep, so Shuqin and a few of Lu Chang's best men turned off the lights and stood guard outside the passage.
KIKI followed Lin Xian into carriage No. 11, where three cars and a motorcycle were parked. They were what he was going to use for off-train maneuvers later. Carriage No. 12 was completely empty at this time. Lin Xian was going to build an 1130 close-in defense gun here and turn this carriage into a weapon station carriage.
Arriving at Carriage No. 12, which was brightly lit but empty, KIKI held a mobile computer and said to Lin Xian, "Lin Xian, you can build Gatling guns now, why don't you build a few more? Wouldn't our firepower be much stronger?"
"Do you think I don't want to?" Lin Xian gave a helpless smile: "You little girl, you really treat me like a factory, don't you?"
