Chapter 238 Devouring Nuclear Power

Chapter 238 Devouring Nuclear Power (1.2 to make up for the 9th chapter, monthly ticket requested!)

Uh-huh! !
At 2 a.m., on the track near a forest near Shijiu Lake, the sunshades of the Infinity train had all been lowered.

Inside the carriage, there were figures of people mixing and busy sounds could be heard constantly. Outside, a large number of zombies were wandering around. As the fighting stopped, these zombies gradually became calm, surrounding the carriage, roaring from time to time and raising their sharp claws to scratch.

Some black bugs were darting in and out of the shadows beneath the train, lurking in the air or trying to find air holes in the train to get in.

However, he had a clear sense of the situation in all places of the Infinity, which was shrouded in Lin Xian's mechanical heart. At this time, Lin Xian could clearly feel that the pressure of attacks around him had been reduced to the lowest.

[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. ]

Every time he returned to the camp, Lin Xian would use the Heterogeneous Cube to check the entire car. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he immediately arranged for Shuqin and Dalou to prepare the personnel, replenish ammunition, check guns and personnel injuries, etc. Huo Ge and Shasha had been guarding the car all night, so Lin Xian let them rest first. In addition, the full-effect medical cabin had not been installed in time, so he and Chen Sixuan and others went to car No. 3 to find Ding Junyi to confirm the situation of the [Dark Mark].

At this time, the Hell Black Chrysanthemum was already emitting bursts of red light, but at the same time a large amount of black smoke was also being continuously absorbed by it.

"Because there is no clearly marked energy source, I will temporarily use the brightness of the disaster plant's red light as the evaluation unit." Ding Junyi's white research suit was covered with blood and various meat scraps, but she didn't care at all. As soon as she got in the car, she immediately started the testing work.

"this."

She held up a mobile terminal and made a simple table with the recorded data from previous times.

"So far, I have observed a total of five brightness changes. The brightest one was in Jiazhou City. I define it as Level 5. I think this level should be the S-level and a large number of strange bodies we were marked with at Yubei Airport. This is the highest level we have observed."

Chen Sixuan nodded when she heard this. She recalled the night when they first entered darkness on the Yunjiang Plain. The scene of the entire train being suddenly surrounded by strange entities was undoubtedly suffocating.

"Indeed, our train was nearly overturned that night."

"Yes, so by analogy, we were level 4 in Rain Town, level 9 when we came out of Underground City No. 3, and level 2 when we escaped from Hengshan Pass. As for A Little Light, after we solved the trouble in Rain Town, I will temporarily define it as level 1, which is a relatively safe and risk-free level."

Upon hearing this, KIKI said directly: "But I feel that the monsters we encountered when we tried to break out of Yu Town that night were more powerful than those encountered in Jiazhou City."

"This is the second point I want to make. The distribution of strange bodies in the dark tide is regional. This can be seen from the fact that the big strange body in Yu Town has a sense of territory. We can regard this mark as a kind of fluorescence or smell on us. The larger the mark, the greater the range of attraction to strange bodies in the dark tide. It's like lighting a torch in an unknown dark forest. But the problem is that if there are no high-level strange bodies in the forest we are in, then there is not necessarily a fatal danger."

Lin Xian frowned slightly when he heard this: "So, it's not just about the level of the mark, it's also about the area, or in other words, luck?"

"Yes, that's understandable."

Ding Junyi continued, "Then the third point is completely my personal guess. I think that in areas where large or high-level weird bodies are located, there will be fewer low-level weird bodies. This is similar to the survival density of predators. So when we came to the outskirts of Jiazhou City with the S-level mark, we attracted a large number of low-level weird bodies. Although the number is huge and it is difficult to defend against, they do not have the real threat of S-level weird bodies."

"Nonsense, if it was S-level, we would have been dead." KIKI stuck out her tongue and asked immediately, "Then the monster we encountered tonight was level 3?"

Ding Junyi nodded: "Almost."

After saying that, she looked at KIKI: "It could also be level 4, and I think we are the only two marked on this train."

Chen Sixuan looked at the brightness of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum: "But the current brightness, shouldn't it be level 3?"

"It should be because we killed a lot of weird bodies tonight, so the mark level has been diluted a little." Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We killed at least 6 C-level weird bodies tonight. I don't know if there are any B-level ones. In addition, we killed hundreds of human weird bodies, various insects, and water ghosts below."

Ding Junyi nodded: "Yes, the logic makes sense, and according to the current situation, it can also be shown that there should be no strange bodies near the area we are in at this time, otherwise the marks on our bodies should have attracted them."

KIKI crossed his arms and said, "That means we just killed them all."

Ding Junyi's analysis helped Lin Xian to better understand the dark creatures. It seemed that the dark tide was more like a different space superimposed on the world area. During the day, those strange creatures might be around them, but when night came, these strange creatures would suddenly appear. If they were close, they would be directly discovered and hunted, or they would be hunted by strange creatures within a certain range because of the markings on their bodies.

"So if that's the case, there is a strange entity close to S-level under the research institute?" Chen Sixuan frowned.

KIKI nodded repeatedly, eyes wide open, and said, "Sister Chen, you didn't see it. It was such a big fish. It came out directly from the ground. It actually had two human-shaped baits growing on its head."

As she was talking, she suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at Lin Xian: "Oh, that's not all. Sister Ding and I have another important discovery."

After saying that, she told the two about what she and Ding Junyi had discovered in the decompression chamber.

Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan were shocked after hearing this: "Human-shaped bait?"

"Yes." Ding Junyi replied, "Otherwise it is hard to explain why they sent people into the deep lake and brought them back, all through remote control. I think the Foundation must know that there is an S-level monster under Shijiu Lake, and obtained the [Dark Mark] in this way. And the one who marked me and KIKI tonight was that monster!"

Lin Xian's expression darkened when he heard this: "That woman named Tan Meng... I remember she should be a supernatural being with the ability to fly."

"Yes, it's her. Didn't she win the game at that time?" said KIKI.

"It's enough to be sure of this. As for why she is there, maybe someone knows the answer." Lin Xian said.

"Who?"

Lin Xian looked at KIKI: "Didn't I tell you that Hu Lushou must have participated in the foundation's death game and won the game?"

"Oh, that's right." KIKI's eyes lit up: "Then this guy may know a lot about the situation in the foundation."

Lin Xian nodded: "Since we now have a level 3 mark, let's not run around tonight. We will go back to Hengshan Pass to find him after daybreak."

"Then shouldn't we clear this mark?" KIKI regretted it right after he said it, and said quickly, "Oh, I lost my mind. We can't deal with the monster in the lake."

"So be it."

Lin Xian arranged in a deep voice: "We are now staying at a safe critical point. As long as we don't run into the lair of any A-level or S-level weird bodies, we can remove our marks by killing some ordinary weird bodies. Everyone should be cautious tonight and make some preparations. Wait for me to come back."

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian and asked, "Where are you going?"

Lin Xian pointed outside the train and said, "I'm going back to the Dragon transport ship in Qingshui Town. There's a good thing there. We can't waste it."

Chen Sixuan frowned slightly: "But you just said that we have a level 3 mark now, so don't run around?"

"It's them, not me." Lin Xian looked calm, looking up at KIKI and Ding Junyi: "Speaking of which, among all the people on the Infinity tonight, I should have the least marks on my body. I was dealing with the Vulcan mecha the whole time, and you killed all the monsters."

"Hey!" KIKI looked at him worriedly, "You are so sure, then... then what if something happens?"

"It doesn't matter." Lin Xian said in a deep voice: "I believe Director Ding."

For Lin Xian, devouring the "Night Star 2" nuclear-powered turbine processor on the Dragon transport ship was just for the purpose of upgrading the Mechanical Heart, which was not as important as his life. However, the reason why he decided to do it was not only because he wanted to take the risk of upgrading, but also because he wanted to thoroughly confirm the impact of the [Dark Mark] on individuals and groups, which was very important.

"I'll go with you!"

At this time, KIKI and Chen Sixuan suddenly spoke in unison.

As soon as they finished speaking, their eyes met, and both of them felt a strange feeling.

Lin Xian didn't notice the wrong atmosphere and said directly: "KIKI has a mark on her body. Teacher Chen, you take people to count the supplies and take care of the wounded. I will go alone this time. You all just need to guard the car. Besides, this place is not far from Qingshui Town."

"What if you encounter danger?" KIKI said.

"It's okay." Lin Xian pinched the power armor on his hand: "Director Ding also said just now that there won't be too many other strange creatures in the territory of an S-level monster. We have almost killed all of them just now. I won't go to the lake. If I encounter any trouble, I think I should have a good chance of getting out."

After escaping from countless dark nights, Lin Xian was no longer unfamiliar with the night. After the [Dark Mark] became clearer, his decisions became more adventurous.

Moreover, his Mechanical Heart has been stagnant for a long time. The last time it was upgraded was in Dungeon No. 9. No matter which route he takes next, he will have to enter the edge of the Star Abyss. He must speed up the development of his superpowers!
"Okay, then you take the PX-05 robot with you, and it can help you with surveillance." KIKI knew that Lin had made the decision and didn't say anything else.

Lin Xian nodded, and then said to Chen Sixuan: "You all should be careful."

There are too many things weighing on Lin Xian's shoulders. The energy capacitor for the G3-Electromagnetic Railgun has not been manufactured yet, the full-effect medical cabin has not been installed, the Vulcan mecha is only placed in carriage No. 11, and the mecha repair station has not been built. With the arrival of the extreme cold vortex storm, the heating system and snow removal system of the train need to be upgraded...

Lin Xian's Mechanical Heart, Mechanical Manufacturing, and Mechanical Devouring are also in urgent need of upgrading. After strengthening his abilities, he can quickly upgrade and manufacture armor and mechas, thereby enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Infinity team members.

Thinking about the fact that there were so many things to do and the fact that the team had encountered the indiscriminate poisoning of the Dark Mark, which had laid a lot of hidden dangers for the future, Lin Xian had no desire to sleep at all. He had to seize the opportunity at this moment.

After some arrangements, Lin Xian took the PX-05 robot and rode a motorcycle out of carriage No. 11 of the train, attracting the attention of a dozen zombies and black bugs outside the train, and they ran away into the distance.

In the Infinity carriage, Chen Sixuan saw Lin Xian riding away alone with a serious expression on her face. Then she fell silent and began to lead people to clean up the supplies obtained from the research institute.

Since Lin Xian is not around, she has to take on the role of head of the family and take care of all the internal affairs in the car for him.

Ding Junyi continued her research calmly. This time she found a lot of research materials from the foundation's research institute. There was a bit of enthusiasm for science in her eyes, and there was no sign of fatigue on her face.

After Chen Sixuan left, KIKI was left walking around in carriage No. 3. Looking at the bloody mess on Ding Junyi's body, she couldn't help but say, "Sister Ding, why don't you go wash it? Don't you think it smells bad?"

Unexpectedly, Ding Junyi said without even looking up: "You are very anxious now, which means you are worried about Lin Xian, but such worry is meaningless. I suggest you take a good rest. As the strongest fighter in the car, your condition has a great influence on the survival of the team. If you can't sleep because of him, then you can choose to comfort yourself, which is very helpful in regulating the excessive overflow of female hormones."

KIKI didn't expect Ding Junyi to say such explicit words in a serious manner. She was stunned and her face turned red. Then she quietly suppressed the panic in her expression and said calmly:
"Pah, who's worried about him? Who's over-eating? I'm worried that if he dies, we won't have this free military factory and onboard energy in our car."

"We have Gemini 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotives. We are not short of energy. As a telekinetic user, you don't need hot weapons." Ding Junyi raised her head and glanced at her calmly: "Combined conclusion, there is a girl in love in front of me. By the way, considering the strict definition of the word girl, are you an adult?"

"I can't hear you! I can't hear you!"

KIKI felt that she had been completely defeated, so she covered her ears and fled from carriage No. 3.

She took a shower, returned to carriage No. 2, and lay down on her own KIKI special bed. Sasha had already fallen asleep, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Wow~
KIKI pulled open the shade of the porthole beside the bed. At this time, there were several hideous zombies standing outside. When they saw the light coming out, they immediately began to howl continuously, and their rotten hands grabbed the grille armor outside the window with a creaking sound.

KIKI lay on her side on the pillow, looking at the zombies outside with a heavy heart. She stretched out her fingertips and lightly tapped the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

"That guy, wasn't he quite cautious before..."

Dangdang~
She tapped her fingers lightly, looking at the zombie outside with bared fangs and claws, and couldn't help but mutter softly: "Yeah, you also think that guy is an idiot, right?"

"Uh ah!" the zombie responded.

"That's right. It's already so late, and you still want to make people worry. How about you go check on him for me and scare him so that he can come back earlier?"

"Ahh! Ugh! Waibibabu~" the zombies continued to howl.

"Hmm?" KIKI blinked her big eyes, and then her expression changed: "Forget it, you can't go, don't cause trouble for him!"

After she finished speaking, she pinched the zombie's head outside with two fingers, and it was squeezed into a ball and exploded.

After that zombie fell, the second zombie continued to come forward.

……

hum~
In the dark night, a motorcycle traveled quickly on the wilderness road.

Lin Xian entered Qingshui Town from the northeast street carrying the PX-05 robot on his back. In order to avoid causing a tide of zombies, he parked his motorcycle directly on the outer street, and then drove the power armor to run quickly in the dark on the rooftops of the streets.

He had just traveled several kilometers and did not encounter any attacks from strange creatures on the road. It seemed that either there was no mark on his body, or there were no strange creatures in this area. But no matter what the result was, it almost confirmed Ding Junyi's theory.

Bang!
A black shadow leaped from the sky and landed directly on the deck of the crashed Dragon transport ship. Then he landed on the spot, motionless. After making sure that he did not attract the attention of any unknown creatures or zombies, Lin Xian quietly sneaked in.

After jumping into the inner warehouse, Lin Xian immediately turned on the flashlight. One advantage of the interior of this transport ship is that ordinary zombies cannot get in. However, he was not sure whether there would be anything else inside after dark, so he immediately began to observe carefully as soon as he came in.

The foul smell still wafted from the deck passage in waves. Because it was an enclosed space, the smell became even stronger. Lin Xian had long been accustomed to these smells and did not even frown at this moment.

"God help me, it seems that all the troubles have really been attracted away."

"It's worth it that I used so much ammunition on the entire vehicle..."

Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He then rushed along the deck into the energy power compartment at the rear and found the nuclear power turbine processor compartment.

"You are the one."

Lin Xian took out the PX-05 robot and started it using a patrol program set by KIKI inside.

Woo~
The small robot's flight engine started and began to execute Lin Xian's instructions. The scope of his arrangement was not large, and it was mainly responsible for patrolling the rear cabin and the passage corridor for him.

"I'm relying on you to keep me company tonight."

Lin Xian patted the little robot, and it flew out shakily, began to perform a 3D scan of the scene, and then set a patrol route.

Lin Xian ignored it and walked over to the energy power compartment to start devouring.

"This is my first time swallowing nuclear power. I hope it will be a surprise."

With a sigh, he made a beautiful wish, then jumped onto the nuclear-powered turbine processor, calmed down, and began to devour.

[Devouring progress, 1%]

Because he had scanned it before, Lin Xian could immediately feel the progress of the swallowing. Suddenly, a huge pressure suddenly hit him. His face sank and he couldn't help but secretly said

"Fuck, I underestimated it..."

He had previously estimated that it might take 4-6 hours, but now he realized that this was definitely less than that. Not only the time, but this thing also drained his mental energy like a flood. Within the first minute, Lin Xian was already sweating on his forehead, and his mechanical heart was running at high speed.

Lin Xian gritted his teeth and said, "This is a rare opportunity. I must get you today!"

From this moment on, every minute of swallowing was a huge pressure for him, and he had to hold on for at least several hours.

Time passed minute by minute, and Lin Xian's clothes were completely wet. Even the life support system of the power armor sensed the abnormality of the wearer and began to send warnings in his ears.

【Abnormal heart rate detected. 】

【Abnormal electrolyte loss rate detected. 】

[Alert: Abnormal brain activity.]

One hour, two hours...

Five hours, seven hours...

Because of the approach of Xingyuan, the dawn time at Hengshan Pass has been delayed to 11 o'clock. On the Infinity side, after a night of preparation, the conditions of the team members have recovered well.

KIKI didn't know how long she had slept. She tossed and turned until dawn, but Lin Xian didn't come back. So she hurried to find Chen Sixuan: "Sister Chen, it's dawn. I'll go to Qingshui Town to find him."

Chen Sixuan hadn't slept all night, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, be careful, it's not far away. It's daybreak now. If you can contact Lin Xian on the way, you can use the communicator to send me a message first."

"Yeah." KIKI nodded, then opened the car door, crushed a group of zombies to death, and then flew high into the sky.

"Zizi..."

"Zizi..."

"Federation...Phoenix Radio is reporting globally that the dark tidal boundary of Star Abyss No. 3 will converge with Star Abyss No. 35 in Quancheng, Tagan Desert and Quancheng in 5 days. Survivors who are migrating in the northeast direction please flee in time. Phoenix has set up stations in Xilan and Quancheng to provide assistance. The tidal boundary of Star Abyss No. 7 will converge with Star Abyss No. 28 in Weihe, Longjiang, Jinhai in 5 days. Survivors who are migrating eastward toward Xingcheng, Kangcheng and Yongcheng Port please flee in time. Phoenix has set up stations in Jinhai and Yongcheng Port to provide assistance..."

"Zizizi... The Phoenix Federation is announcing to the world that the current location of the Dawn Center is the northern foot of the Yun'an Mountains, with coordinates of 116.3913447°, 39.9053937°. The Dawn Center will arrive at Tianji in three days..."

"The Phoenix Society Xilan Station reported to the Yunjiang Plain area that an S-level strange body was found deep in the heart of the Parma Grassland. It disappeared near the southern Bailuyuan Swamp yesterday..."

"The Phoenix Society Xilan Station reported to the Yunjiang Plain area that the extremely cold vortex caused by the No. 5 and No. 7 Xingyuan Dark Plagiarism Natural Disasters has rapidly increased the blizzard level from Weihe to Xilan, and from Longjiang to Xidi Gobi. The lowest temperature has reached minus 45 degrees Celsius, and the maximum average wind speed near the center of the storm has reached level 12. A snowstorm has broken out, and a large number of unknown creatures have appeared in the snow."

"Zizi..."

"Survivor channel, this is the North Wind Survivor Alliance. We are in Dalat Town in the Yunzhou Mountains and are warning all survivor convoys heading north. The snowstorm here is very serious. Without sufficient supplies and heating equipment, it is recommended to take the eastern route as soon as possible. A large number of convoys and survivors have been frozen to death. It is not recommended to go there without tracked or railed vehicles. There are many unknown creatures in the extreme cold vortex. I repeat, you cannot touch the snow in the extreme cold vortex!!"

After KIKI went out, in carriage No. 2, Chen Sixuan, Shuqin and others who had not slept all night were paying attention to today's doomsday radio information.

"KIKI went to find Lin Xian. There should be news soon."

Seeing that Lin Xian didn't come back, everyone was very worried. The team lost its backbone, and for a moment everyone could only look at Chen Sixuan.

Chen Sixuan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said calmly: "This information is very important for our next actions."

Chen Sixuan looked at the map: "The Bailuyuan Swamp is close to the Wei River. It seems that we can't go along the main route."

Shuqin nodded: "Unless we speed up and rush over during the day."

"We can only wait until Lin Xian comes back." Chen Sixuan said, "He may have other arrangements."

Da Lou stepped forward and said, "How about I drive there with Brother Huo?"

Chen Sixuan waved her hand and said decisively: "KIKI has already gone. She has the strongest mobility and she went there with Lin Xian yesterday. We just need to wait patiently for news."

As I was talking, KIKI's voice came from the headset

"Sister Chen, I contacted him, he's fine."

When Chen Sixuan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the fatigue in her eyes also relaxed. She immediately said to everyone, "Okay, I'll arrange for food first, and we'll set off when Lin Xian comes back."

……

On the other side, KIKI was flying in the air, looking at Qingshui Town in the distance. When he heard Lin Xian's voice, he was relieved and couldn't help cursing.
"What's taking this guy so long? Is he going to swallow up the transport ship?"

While speaking, his body kept accelerating and flew quickly towards Qingshui Town.

Soon she arrived above the Dragon transport ship, checked around, and pressed the communicator: "Lin Xian, are you in there?" "Yes..."

Lin Xian's voice sounded very tired.

KIKI frowned and flew directly in. She walked through the corridor and came to the power compartment on the lower floor. As soon as she came in, she saw Lin Xian sitting in a corner, his face pale and weak, his whole body wet, and he kept gasping for breath. The PX-05 robot flew beside him and parked quietly.

"Hey you……"

Seeing this scene, KIKI's face immediately changed. She flew over and landed beside Lin Xian, looking at him in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Xian closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His face was exhausted but with a satisfied smile on his face. He said, "It took some effort to get rid of a big guy."

"Why do I feel like you've been sucked dry by a vampire?" KIKI approached Lin Xian, reached out and touched his forehead, then touched her own: "Hey, are you really okay?"

"fine!"

Lin Xian struggled to sit up and adjusted his breathing. At this moment, the golden afterglow was still shining in the light curtain in front of him.

[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +1000, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +400, additional rewards: strength 20 points, agility 20 points, defense 20 points! ]

[Congratulations, your mechanical devouring level has evolved to LV.4]

[Congratulations, your strength level has been raised to LV.4 (additional physical strength increase)]

[Congratulations, your agility level has been raised to LV.3 (increased reaction speed)]

[Mechanical Devouring: 4 (241/2000)]

[Congratulations, you have gained an extra super-characteristic skill from this devouring: Gravitational Lens! ]

[Gravitational lens: Create a large-scale star cluster gravitational source to bend and enhance the light passing nearby! ]

"Gravitational lens..." Lin Xian looked at the name and couldn't help being surprised. His previous skills were nothing more than wind cannon, ice wall, and electric surge. How come it suddenly rose to the level of the gravitational source of the star cluster?
Nuclear-powered turbine engine...is this technology already involved?

Lin Xian was extremely excited at this moment, and he felt his blood pressure soaring. 1000 source points was definitely a big profit. He didn't expect that he could also obtain a new skill, and this skill sounded so awesome.

“Hello…Hello!”

A hurried voice brought Lin Xian, who was in a daze, back to reality. His eyes slowly focused, and the voice in his ears became clearer and clearer. He saw KIKI staring at him with her big, kazilan eyes, looking at him strangely, waving her hands in front of him, and said anxiously: "Hey, why are you in a daze? What's wrong?"

Because they were very close, Lin Xian could feel her breath hitting his face. He looked at KIKI, and because he was very excited, his mind suddenly jumped. He stretched his neck, raised his chin and took a sip of the little mouth that was chirping.

Suck~
The sound is crisp and clear.

Instantly, the scene seemed to freeze.

KIKI was stunned, her eyes slowly widened. She touched her mouth in confusion, then looked at Lin Xian in shock, her eyes full of disbelief. Her expression began to change constantly, from confusion to shock and then to... anger.

Lin Xian reacted at this time and realized that he was a little too excited. He quickly explained: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstand?"

KIKI's face turned red and white. This guy suddenly attacked her in front of her and even said it was a misunderstanding?

She was furious and mad. She stared at Lin Xian with gnashing teeth, her eyes flashing with fluorescence, and shouted: "Go! Die!"

boom!
The Dragon transport ship that crashed on the streets of Qingshui Town shook violently, and a large amount of smoke and dust flew up.
All the zombies in the dark passages in the streets turned around and looked in the direction of the transport ship...

……

High in the sky, the weak and exhausted Lin Xian was grabbed by KIKI's supernatural power and flew towards the Infinity, without even taking his motorcycle.

Lin Xian looked at the blue sky and white clouds above Shijiu Lake in the distance, feeling relieved. This adventure was really worth it. Although it took nearly 8-9 hours, it greatly improved Lin Xian's mechanical ability. He was only a few hundred points away from breaking through the Level 4 Mechanical Heart, and it seemed that he could only handle two or three locomotives.

"Flying is so comfortable." Lin Xian felt the breeze on his cheeks and couldn't help but say comfortably.

KIKI was flying ahead with a cold face and crossed his arms. When he heard this, he turned around and rolled his eyes at him: "If it weren't for you being like this, I should have let you run on the ground."

When Lin Xian saw KIKI’s angry face, he suddenly felt a headache.

He wondered why he couldn't help kissing this girl, last time and this time. Is it necessary to kiss this little mouth? It was OK that he kissed her secretly last time and didn't get caught, but this time he just went for it head-on. The situation suddenly became awkward and their relationship escalated to a somewhat delicate level.

KIKI secretly glanced at Lin Xian out of the corner of her eye, and when she noticed that he was looking at her, she immediately looked away and let out a sigh of relief.

She pressed her chest, and her little heart was still beating loudly.

"Kiss me again..."

There was some resentment in her eyes, and she cursed in her heart: "Asshole... I'll bite your mouth off next time, and see if you dare to kiss me again, humph!"

……

With a click, the door of the Infinity carriage opened, and KIKI and Lin Xian came back from outside. Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Xian entered the carriage, a light curtain of the Mechanical Heart suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Non-mechanical energy has been converted, and 1000 mechanical source points have been obtained. ]

Wow!
In an instant, an extremely powerful warm vitality rushed into Lin Xian's body frantically, and he could feel that his extremely exhausted mental strength was recovering rapidly.

"Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube?!"

Lin Xian reacted and rushed towards carriage No. 1.

"Hey, aren't you exhausted?!"

KIKI, who just came in, saw Lin Xianyi return to the train. His originally exhausted appearance suddenly became full of energy and spirit. She immediately reacted and wondered if this guy was pretending just now?

Lin Xian didn't know what was going on in KIKI's mind, so he quickly went to Carriage 1, found the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube, started it up, and looked at it.

[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. ]

[Non-mechanical energy has been converted, and 1000 mechanical source points have been obtained. ]

"really!"

It seems that the team's full firepower last night brought more than just the gains. So many strange bodies and human ghosts were killed, including the black centipede in Hengshan Pass, which were all absorbed and transformed by the Hell Black Chrysanthemum at night and turned into the power of evolution.

"Lin Xian!"

At this time, Chen Sixuan, Shuqin and others came over. Lin Xian looked back and saw that everyone was in high spirits. There was no sign of fatigue after the fierce battle last night. He was immediately delighted and asked:
"How do you feel about your physical condition now?"

Chen Sixuan didn't expect Lin Xian to ask such a question, and said with a puzzled look: "It's fine, what's wrong?"

Instead, Shasha noticed something: "Sister Chen, didn't you sleep all night?"

Everyone looked at her, and Chen Sixuan shook her head.
"It's strange. I don't feel particularly tired."

"Come to think of it, I have the same feeling." Shu Qin also stood up at this time: "I didn't rest for too long, but I feel very energetic. Could it be that we evolved after killing the weird body?"

"That's natural."

Lu Xingchen stood up and said with a profound look on his face: "Eradication of the evil spirits of the night will help improve your cultivation."

"not quite."

Lin Xian nodded and looked at the situation of the crowd. The energy conversion of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum did bring benefits to everyone on the Infinity. However, he did not explain the matter of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum and the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube. Firstly, it was a little difficult to understand, and secondly, Lin Xian himself did not fully understand it. He only knew that it was a good thing for everyone at present.

[Congratulations, your Mechanical Heart has been successfully upgraded to LV.4 and has gained the passive skill Mechanical Amplification! ]

"Lying on the grass!"

Surprises came one after another, and Lin Xian was dumbfounded. He had originally planned to return to Hengshanguan Station to get two locomotives to complete the upgrade. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Infinity, he obtained the non-mechanical energy of the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube to transform the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, which directly upgraded his Mechanical Heart to Level 4.

Moreover, the new skill of this Mechanical Heart was exactly what he needed. During the battles during this period, he felt that his wind gun was completely useless and he was worried about not having a new skill.

As a result, not only has he gained a new skill by devouring the nuclear-powered turbine processor, but he can also mechanize and upgrade his previous wind gun through mechanical amplification, turning it into a completely mechanical-exclusive skill. This is like giving yourself a pillow when you are sleepy - it's exactly what you want!
[Start wind cannon - mechanical amplification]

[Mechanical amplification begins: Wind cannon 19:59:59]

The materials in the decomposition center were being continuously consumed. Lin Xian took a look and decided that he could only upgrade the wind cannon first, because he had never scanned the super carbon yne alloy needed for the ice wall. Even the preparation factory could not carry out the conversion work, so it could only be put on hold.

"Lin Xian." Seeing that Lin Xian had returned safely, Chen Sixuan immediately synchronized the information she had recently collected from the radio station, and then saw what arrangements Lin Xian would make next.

"Dalat Town?" Lin Xian asked

Chen Sixuan replied: "From Hengshan Pass, it's about 900 kilometers north to the Yunzhou Mountains. Dalat Town is a small town, and the rail line doesn't go there, but it's not far away."

Lin Xian nodded and said seriously, "It seems that the extreme cold vortex is approaching Hengshan Pass. If we take the eastern route to Weihe River, although we will not pass by Bailuyuan Swamp, it is still relatively close, and there is a risk of encountering an S-level weird body."

"It seems that the southern route may be the safest." Shuqin said at this time: "We are in Qingshui now. If we go from Lancheng to Yunlan and then to Jinhai, we can return to the main route of Huanxing."

"Where is safe?" KIKI was sitting on the sofa beside him, biting a lollipop in her mouth, studying the map on her mobile terminal: "The southern route is too close to the edge of Star Abyss No. 7. Unless we don't encounter any problems along the way, we will definitely enter the interior of the Star Abyss Polar Night."

"It's all the same." Lin Xian said, "If we take the north route, we'll go around the northern region of Star Abyss No. 5. If we take the south route, we'll go around the southern region of Star Abyss No. 7. If we take the east route, we'll have to go through the middle of the two Star Abysses. If it weren't for that S-level weird entity, the safest and fastest route would be the eastern route of the ring star orbit. But no matter which route we take, as long as we start from Hengshan Pass, the dark tide will get closer and closer to us, and the night will get longer and longer. This may be a very dangerous stage for us."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the car began to grow heavy. It was the first time for everyone on the Infinity to drive directly towards Xingyuan.

After coming out of Jiazhou City and enjoying a few days of brief sunshine, the team had to explore into the darkness again. Only by breaking out from the gap between Star Abysses No. 3, No. 5 and No. 7 could they get a new chance to breathe.

"No matter which route we take, Brother Lin has the final say."

Seeing everyone's worried expressions, Lu Xingchen didn't care. He stretched himself, looked at Lin Xian and said proudly, "You guys discuss, I'll go get some sun while the sun is shining~"

Shu Qin nodded and looked at Lin Xian: "Yes, Captain Lin, we will follow your arrangements."

The building, Sasha, and Chen Sixuan also looked over.

Lin Xian looked at the map and said directly: "I have already made a plan, but before we set off, we have to go back to Hengshan Pass and find someone."

Woo~
Instantly, the mechanical heart started to move, and the engine of the Infinity Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive began to roar. The iron wheels on the track vibrated and rotated, pushing the train to start moving in the opposite direction towards Hengshanguancheng.

The zombies that had been wandering around all night saw the steel fortress move and started roaring and chasing after it.

"Going back to Hengshan Pass? The train platform may have been destroyed." Chen Sixuan said to Lin Xian at this time: "Then we may have to go a little slower and pay attention to the road conditions."

Lin Xian nodded: "Well, also, you and Shuqin should count the cold-resistant items in the living area. We may need to exchange more."

"Okay." Chen Sixuan nodded: "I'll do it right away."

"Girl." Lin Xian shouted to KIKI.

"What?" KIKI was eating a lollipop without even raising her head, and it seemed that she didn't want to pay attention to her.

"Come with me and install that full-effect medical cabin."

"Oh~"

Lin Xian looked at her, thought for a moment and said, "I didn't let you drive the Vulcan mecha yesterday. I'm going to find a few more people to try it out and test the mecha's co-modulus coefficient. How about letting you go first?"

KIKI, who was eating a lollipop, brightened her eyes and tilted her head.
"Really?"

"real."

Shasha, who was standing by, looked at Lin Xian in confusion: "Brother Lin, what is the mecha symmetry coefficient?"

"The mecha co-modulus coefficient refers to the co-modulus signal that the driver generates through neural connection with the mecha operating system. The higher the coefficient, the stronger the control over the mecha. This is very dependent on talent. Generally, people with sensitive perception, strong athletic talent, and psychological stability are more suitable to be mecha pilots. It is divided into 5 levels, and those who can reach level 1 are considered qualified mecha pilots. However, if you want to operate a large military mecha, especially a combat type, you must be at least level 3."

Sasha's eyes widened when she heard this: "What about level 4 and level 5?"

KIKI snapped his fingers and said to Shasha, "Level 4 is already a genius mecha pilot, and level 5 is even rarer."

Lin Xian nodded, looked at Shasha and said, "Shasha, you can also try it. I heard that the younger you are, the more suitable you are. You will react quickly and be less disturbed. Maybe it will be suitable for you."

"Really?" Sasha immediately became interested when she heard that: "Wow, driving a mecha, sounds nice!"

"Don't be too happy yet~"

KIKI stood up and pinched Sasha's little face: "Your sister KIKI hasn't opened yet, how can it be your turn?"

When Shasha heard this, she immediately said, "Sister KIKI, you can fly, so why do you need to drive a mecha?"

"If you can fly, why can't you drive a mecha? That would be so cool!"

"Let's go, let's get down to business." Lin Xian said directly to KIKI.

The full-effect life surgical medical cabin brought back by KIKI and the building was placed by Lin Xian in Ding Junyi's No. 3 scientific research cabin. There is still enough space here for placement. The most important thing is that the scientific research cabin is tightly protected, has no windows, is very clean inside, and has a special air circulation system. Lin Xian thinks it is most appropriate to install the medical cabin here.

Because it is a complete instrument, Lin Xian only needs to make a base that matches the original equipment, and then connect the lines. After letting Ding Junyi and KIKI configure the system, the medical cabin can be used.

After the configuration was completed, Lin Xian immediately called the injured Lu Chang over.

When this guy saw that he was about to enter the medical cabin for treatment, he suddenly became a little nervous.

"Captain Lin, how long will I be dead if I go in there?"

KIKI at the side said, "How long will it take to die? This is a medical cabin, not a hibernation cabin. Just lie down in it for a while and it will be done."

"No." Lu Chang scratched his head: "I mean, does this require general anesthesia?"

"No need." Ding Junyi explained: "The medical system will perform local anesthesia based on your injuries, but it will not use drugs, but neuron shock technology."

"Oh~"

As soon as Director Ding spoke, Lu Chang immediately understood. He untied the bandage on his hands and lay down.

At this time, Ding Junyi pressed the program instruction, and the hatch of the medical cabin was slowly closed.

[Vital signs scan in progress]

【Detection of target injuries】

[A grade 3 fracture of the ulna in the left forearm and lacerations of the muscle and epidermal tissue were detected. ]

[Start treatment procedures and disinfect the entire area]

Chi!
In an instant, a white smoke appeared in the medical cabin, and then a blue light curtain scanned past.

【Local neuron shock anesthesia】

drop!
At this time, the onlookers saw several sophisticated mechanical arms stretch out and shine some kind of laser towards Lu Chang's arm, and then quickly repair his bones and outer skin tissues as if performing laser printing.

Lin Xian's eyes focused and he saw that the wound on Lu Chang's hand was being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye. There was no bleeding and even no scar. It was as if the torn wound was sutured with new flesh, and his arm was miraculously restored to its original state.

"All right?"

A few minutes later, the hatch opened. Lu Chang sat up in shock and looked at his left arm in disbelief: "Oh my god, it's like I have a new hand."

"How do you feel?" Lin Xian asked.

Lu Chang nodded excitedly: "Uh... except for a little numbness, there is no problem, Captain Lin, this thing is amazing."

Lin Xian smiled and said, "This is something that only rich people can afford before the end of the world. If you get hurt in the future, it will be solved quickly."

"alright!"

KIKI was impatient at this time: "The medical cabin is ready, Lin Xian, let's go and try out the mecha!"

The girl couldn't wait to open it, so Lin Xian pointed outside and said, "Wait until we enter Hengshan Pass and stop before trying again. You can't even stand up in the mecha now, so how can you try it?"

"Oh~ too."
