Chapter 209 Life on the Train
Chapter 209 Life on the Train
At night, under the dark sky, all the sunshades of the "Infinity" have been closed, and the warm light inside the car shines through the gaps.
The living car exudes a sense of security after surviving a disaster. The sleeper cars here have been converted into separate living rooms. Although the space is not large, it is a world of difference compared to living in a car before. Now that it is safe, everyone has begun to pack up and transform their own mobile doomsday safe house, stuffing all their belongings into it.
Shuqin lived in a room by herself. She didn't have much luggage or belongings, but with the space to move around, she no longer felt the oppressive feeling she had in the car. After dinner, she took a simple shower to wash away the bloody smell on her body. She felt much refreshed. When she came out of the room, she saw that everyone in the living compartment was still busy arranging their living areas. Everyone's face was filled with enthusiasm, which made Shuqin's brows relax slightly.
After joining Infinity, it was like they had found a boat in the rough sea, enough for everyone to contribute everything to protect this rare safe harbor.
Shuqin looked at the time, set an alarm for herself, picked up her gun and sat on a chair in the corridor, resting and keeping watch at the same time.
Towards the front is carriage No. 5. After a tiring day in the building and a big meal, he went to bed early as planned. The Roarer K23 electric rotary machine gun, fully loaded with bullets, was placed on the gun rack at the head of his steel bed, within reach with just a stretch of his hand. The steel-cutting greatsword was also placed underneath.
On the other side was Lu Xingchen's personal living room, which was completely separated from the simple rest area of the building. It was brightly lit and clean. In addition to the bed and his personal cloakroom, there was a wooden tea table in the empty area in front of the window. There were two rattan mats found from somewhere in Rain Town. The tea maker was bubbling with steam. On the tea table was a small can of black tea that Shasha had found for him. While sipping the hot tea, he was using a pen and paper to study the development methods of his fire-related abilities. On the white paper were drawn various fire-carrying stick figures, all of which were designed to show off their divine power in front of people...
“Sky Flame Splitting the Sky: Use the lightning in the sky to ignite the flames and burn the enemy instantly… Hmm, not bad, not bad, it’s this lightning…”
"Burning Heaven and Earth: Detonating the flame energy in the body to form a sea of fire, burning everything. It sounds very domineering!"
In the next carriage No. 4, there is a large glass ecological cabin in the middle. It is still empty for the time being. Lin Xian is going to plant medium-sized green plants or some green shrubs here. On the left and right sides are two rows of soilless cultivation racks enclosed by lattice windows. There are a total of 10 layers, which are directly fixed to the roof of the car. Many green vegetables can be grown in a cycle. The water circulation pipes here have been completed. Ding Junyi has already made a planting plan with several young team members, but the progress has been delayed because of the two days in Yu Town.
Going forward to carriage No. 3, Ding Junyi put away her research materials, backed them up according to her daily work habits, took a shower, drank a glass of water, and then returned to the lounge that Lin Xian had converted from a disinfection room for her. She took off her clothes, lay on the clean bed and covered herself with a quilt, then opened some academic materials collected in her mobile terminal, put on headphones, set the alarm, and listened quietly. She neatly placed her clothes and underwear aside, and the entire lounge exuded a meticulous and tidy atmosphere.
In carriage No. 2, Sasha and KIKI, who had also just finished taking a shower, were nestling in the [KIKI Special Entertainment Area], playing video games with the entertainment equipment that Lin had brought from Jiang City. Next to them was the rest area for the two girls, which was a specially made bunk bed with a semi-wrapped shape and a light inside. Lying in it gave one a sense of security and also prevented one from rolling off the bed due to the bumps of the train.
The entertainment area was covered with thick plush carpet. After taking a shower, KIKI wore a pink low-waisted suspender T-shirt and denim shorts. She sat cross-legged on the ground with her slender white legs in an image-free manner. She and Sasha both had a lollipop in their mouths, which were snacks that Chen Sixuan found in the supply warehouse.
"Hit, hit, hit, on the left, stupid!"
"Sister KIKI, please save me."
"Open that treasure chest, there are good things inside!"
"Hurry, hurry, it's going to mutate to the second stage!"
"I know!"
"It died immediately!"
"I'm out of bullets. Give me some."
"Do you want a grenade?"
"Give it to me quickly, let me blow it up!"...
In carriage No. 1, Lin Xian's workbench was placed with the TRP fourth-generation special industrial active exoskeleton power armor. The total weight of this power armor was nearly 30 kilograms and it was equipped with a small high-energy electric drive component and 1 hydraulic power units. He was studying how to install the industrial prosthesis on it. Although the three hands looked a bit out of place, it was useful for his actual combat.
The auxiliary system of the power armor is not very intelligent, it is equivalent to a microcomputer. Lin Xian can see that Ding Qing used to treasure this power armor very much and maintained it very carefully. In order to maintain the life of the drive motor, it is usually in a closed state and even electricity is not used.
Not to mention mechas, in the apocalyptic environment, even simple mechanical structures like guns are extremely valuable. Without an industrial system, bullets will be less and less, and a broken gun will be difficult to repair. How can one make a Gatling gun and bullets as easily as Lin Xian?
[Reminder: A33K heavy anti-material sniper rifle blueprint is being upgraded and developed, 1 day, 13:49:55]
"It will take more than a day..."
Lin Xian took a look at the R&D center. He was eager to put the power armor in to see how long it would take to upgrade. This thing could directly improve his personal combat effectiveness. The upgrade drawings were equivalent to directly upgrading himself. In his mind, the priority had even surpassed the upgrade of 1130 and the electromagnetic gun.
Moreover, he looked at the drawings and found that the power armor was slightly more complicated than the PX05-engineering robot. The most important thing was the tungsten-titanium alloy type I, a level 3 material. If he used level 1 and level 2 materials to convert and prepare it through a manufacturing factory, the consumption would be too high. However, overall, it was still achievable.
Since the existence of the [Dark Mark] was confirmed, his next plan was to strengthen the team's armament. At least each person should have a set of power armor like this. Then everyone's mobility would be greatly enhanced, and the survival rate would be greatly increased when facing attacks from strange creatures.
Personal full-body battle armor and combat armor are much more complicated and require extraordinary materials. These things are expensive war equipment for the Phoenix Order or Dawn City and are not easy to manufacture.
Lin Xian also had to quickly improve the levels of his mechanical manufacturing and devouring in order to plan for such high-level equipment.
After preparing the power armor, Lin Xian scanned the black spear again and found that it was actually a muscle engine inside a large mecha body unit that was dismantled and modified. A magnetic control system and external impact armor were added, and it was used as a weapon by Ding Qing.
This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can handle. Magnetic energy engines could only be obtained through the black market before. This kind of thing must come from some technologically powerful mechanical organization.
So Lin Xian could only scan out a blueprint of an unknown model for backup.
"This thing is quite easy to use." He weighed it in his hand and felt the weight. The power of this thing is greater than a bullet within a certain distance. It is very effective against large monsters. Moreover, it can be recovered from a distance, which gives Lin Xian a new way of fighting.
Lin Xian had been keeping an eye on the situation of the Heterogeneous Cube and the Sentinel System. It was already early morning when he finished cleaning up. No abnormalities had been found until now, so he could finally put his mind at ease.
There's nothing I can do. I'm scared of being robbed. There were so many problems along the way from Jiang City to here. My nerves were always tense and I haven't had a good night's sleep for several nights.
Now he can finally master some rules of the night. This feeling makes Lin Xian more excited than harvesting a large amount of supplies.
