Chapter 298 Crimson Members' Permanent Warehouse

21:00
In the secret underground track of Yijin City, a 15-kilometer-long joint train with more than 500 carriages was quietly parked in the darkness. It was silent and all the lights were off.

More than 4000 survivors hid in the doomsday carriage, nervously waiting for changes outside.

The entire underground tunnel was filled with a damp and stuffy atmosphere, and from the depths of darkness, the sound of water dripping from underground could be heard from time to time.

The survivors in each carriage hid in the darkness, mothers covered their children's mouths, men held weapons in their hands and stood ready, all information was transmitted through communicators, and everyone seemed to have their hearts in their throats at this moment.

Infinity, carriage No. 12, inside the weapon station are the bases of the 1130 close-in defense gun and the YJ-03 anti-aircraft gun. Lin Xian is sitting cross-legged on the ground. In the darkness, only the red indicator light of the weapon station equipment is glowing. A silver-black ballerina robot is standing quietly in the darkness a few meters away from him. The red light reflects a robot full of mechanical and human beauty.

Grace remained motionless after turning off the phone. Her beautiful simulated face revealed a bit of weirdness. Lin Xian looked at the robot, his earphone communicator flashing continuously, and he listened to the information outside the car with a serious expression.

The feeling of being in the underground tunnel was very strange. Facing those zombies and monsters, such an environment gave people a stronger sense of security than an open environment. However, after experiencing various weird attacks by monsters, Lin Xian was worried that such an environment was not conducive to evacuation, and he felt a little conflicted.

But now that things have come to this, he can only calm down and wait quietly.

Within the communication frequency band, there were more than 20 team captains or leaders. At this time, no one dared to make a sound. All the sounds and movements on the ground were almost difficult to be transmitted to the underground dozens of meters deep, but the slight vibration from time to time still made people nervous.

This means that the noise must have been made by something huge.

Time passed by minute by minute. Lin Xian looked at his watch while watching the surveillance on the mobile terminal in front of him. Those were the sentinel probes and some sensors that Lin Xian had placed outside the bank vault via the special elevator at the Zero Element Center. Due to the urgency of time, he could only temporarily deploy such a device to observe the real situation on the surface.

The line graph of the vibration sensor slowly passed by in front of his eyes. The three sentinel probes were almost pitch black, covered by a large amount of dust and spore fog. If it were not for the outlines of some buildings and ground ruins that could be seen through the infrared observation lens in the picture, Lin Xian would even think that these devices had been damaged by the mycelium.

Cluck, cluck, cluck!
A low-frequency sound like the vibration of a shell sounded in the headphones. Lin Xian focused his eyes and found that one of the surveillance images was suddenly covered by a darker black, as if it was some huge creature of the night.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian took a deep breath, took off his headphones and began to listen to the sounds above the tunnel.

"The information obtained should be correct. A lot of strange creatures appeared on the ground, but I'm not sure what level they are." Lin said in a low voice in the communicator.

"Captain Lin, the audio capture device I placed in the subway tunnel has also captured many strange frequencies. They should be in the subway platform on the upper level. However, I have checked that subway station and it has been sealed off. The tunnel should be safe for the time being." Luo Yang's voice also came at this time.

"That should be true." Shi Diyuan lowered his voice and said, "It looks like a lot of weird entities are having a party above our heads. Wow, this is the first time we've seen such treatment."

"Will there really be no chance of being discovered with so many of us?"

It was Monica who raised the question: "After all, we started to make such a big noise."

"The entrance to the freight station has completely collapsed and is blocked. I checked and nothing is chasing us." Ning Jing said at this time.

"Monica, Monica, I'm not panicking, so why are you? Lin Xian has already said that there are no marks on us anymore, and we are hiding so deep underground, if they wanted to find us, they would have discovered us long ago. It's impossible that there is no movement now, don't you think?" Qian Dele's tone sounded relaxed.

"You're right. We are already in the polar night. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. If we were targeted, we should have been attacked long ago." Luo Yang said.

Lin Xian checked the time and pressed the communicator, "Wait another 20 minutes. If there are no abnormalities, we will be ready to open the permanent warehouse and start moving things. Tell all teams not to send too many people and not to make too much noise. We don't need to be too anxious for 30 hours. Once we have emptied the underground crimson world, we should rest and recuperate."

As time passed, Lin Xian's heart gradually calmed down. It seemed that his choice this time was correct. If he rushed out in a hurry, he would not only fail to escape from Yijin City, but also be targeted by various strange entities hidden around the city. Once someone on the joint train was marked with darkness, their "lighthouse" would be completely lit up, and it would surely snowball and grow bigger, and it was very likely that a terrifying situation like the strange siege in Yubei City would occur.

At 21:30, the combined train, which had been waiting in the dark for nearly an hour, finally opened its doors. With a humming sound, the abrupt sound of the door opening was extremely harsh in the quiet tunnel.

Lin Xian, holding a cold night light, started to get off the car with several people from the core convoy. Kiki followed behind him, staring at Lin Xian's patrol drone information on a mobile terminal.

According to the coordinates in the code device given by Grace, the group found the hidden code door of the permanent warehouse behind several emergency maintenance areas on the secret track. After unlocking it with the code device, the large explosion-proof automatic door slowly opened, and the sound of inert gas decompression rang out. After a burst of white smoke, the lights of the backup energy inside lit up layer by layer, and everyone's eyes lit up immediately.

Behind the automatic door, there is a large three-defense warehouse like a wartime material storage warehouse. It is very large. As soon as you walk in, the bright lights make the internal warehouse divisions look suddenly clear. Rice, noodles, oil, sugar, freeze-dried compressed foods, canned foods, synthetic protein gels and other high-quality and high-standard food supplies are neatly stacked on prefabricated shelves. There is even a separate freezing area for storing meat.

The food areas inside are divided strictly according to storage standards, from the 1-year standard to the 30-year standard to the neatly arranged supplies. Going further in, there are even specially supplied chocolates, red wines, seafood frozen in special compartments, steaks, ham, cheese, caviar, and so on.

In addition, there is a special medical supplies area, which displays various broad-spectrum antiviral/antibacterial agents, surgical emergency modules, anti-radiation agents...

The high standards are breathtaking, especially the red wines, which are all expensive collections from all over the world, luxuries that ordinary people have never even seen.

A group of more than a dozen people walked in this clean and bright warehouse, all with wonderful expressions on their faces, some were surprised, some were happy, and some were wry smiles...

"Romanee-Conti 2025, it tastes good." Qian Dele walked to the wine cellar area and raised his hand to pick up a bottle of red wine packaged in a special sealed container, and chuckled: "These guys really know how to enjoy themselves."

"They recruited so many wealthy members and came up with these horrific plans." Shi Diyuan, who was wearing a bandage, looked at the warehouse shelves that were comparable to luxury and couldn't help but say, "It seems that this Crimson World is really not ordinary."

Monica walked to Qian Dele, picked up a bottle of wine with a smile on her face, and fumbled with the triangular logo on the corner of the container. She took a deep breath and said, "I remember coming across this crimson world a few years ago."

"A few years ago?" Ning Jing couldn't help but ask, "You mean before the Apocalypse Day?"

Monica nodded. "I only know that their people once told me that they are an organization that studies human genetic defects and is committed to helping humans achieve perfect evolution. Many people in the circle have joined. I learned a little bit about it at first. It's nothing more than some medical beauty, cancer prevention, and offspring gene screening. It's nothing unusual. They approached me many times, but I think it's the same routine as those doomsday fortress gimmicks sold to the rich, so I'm not interested."

She looked at the red wine in her hand, her eyes showing three parts of joy and seven parts of regret: "It seems that this organization has some foresight."

Lin Xian and Kiki couldn't help but feel moved when they heard this, and their eyes met.

"Why does it feel so familiar?" Kiki stood beside Lin Xian and whispered.

"Are you thinking of Qingshui Town?" Lin Xian said.

Kiki nodded.

Lin Xian remained silent, he thought of the previous Underground City No. 9, which was built after the Apocalypse Day by the Federation with trillions of dollars and the most advanced automated engineering power. The Foundation and the Crimson World would definitely not be able to compete with the Federation forces that had not been disbanded at that time. Today, less than 100 days have passed since the Apocalypse Day, but from the information found by these two organizations, they seem to have extremely strong foresight.

Lin Xian remembered that he had asked Hua Xiaoling this question before, and the other party answered him that it was a transformation of the original cooperative fortifications. However, this underground permanent warehouse in the Crimson World seemed to be completely prepared for doomsday. Could it be just a coincidence?
"Do you think this Crimson World has any connection with that foundation?" Kiki asked puzzledly.

Lin Xian pondered and said, "These organizations are more mysterious than each other. We always learn about them later. If we want to get the answer, only the people in the Crimson World themselves know it."

In the bright warehouse, Monica's words made everyone a little stunned.

"You mean, this organization has known about the coming of Apocalypse Day for a long time?" Li Yi said in surprise.

"That must be the case. Otherwise, this warehouse, this underground beehive center, can't be built in just one or two months." Luo Yang frowned.

Monica shrugged and said noncommittally, "I just happened to think of this. Speaking objectively, I don't really believe this judgment, because building such underground fortifications is not difficult for today's mechanical productivity as long as the money is in place."

"You are too suspicious." Qian Dele also said at this time: "How can a pharmaceutical group know about the coming of the doomsday before the Federation before the apocalypse? Didn't you see how hastily the Federation's underground city plan was built? If humans really knew about the disaster in advance, the situation would definitely not be like this now."

"That's right." Shi Diyuan nodded. "This place is obviously newly built. As for the supplies, these are the storage standards for reserve supplies. The military and regional cities also have them. It's not uncommon. It's just that the things here are more high-end." "There's no point in guessing. Since the things are delivered to our door, it's just right for us to replenish them." Lin Xian stood up and interrupted everyone's discussion.
"The supplies here are reserved for a thousand people. This is definitely a big harvest for us. Let's divide it up here."

"That's right, there are so many good things, we are going to get rich." Kiki laughed and said, "I haven't eaten steak rice for a long time. I suggest we empty this place out!"

"Haha, that makes sense." Shi Diyuan said proudly, and then looked at Lin Xian: "Brother Lin, we found the place, and you are the one leading the team, so you tell me, how do we divide it?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Xian.

"That's easy." Lin Xian smiled faintly: "The total number of people in our several teams is more than half, but we have contributed the most, so it should be no problem for us to take 7%. The remaining 3% can be distributed according to the number of people in the remaining teams."

"Heh, your Infinity team has so few people, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage if we divide it this way?" Qian Dele looked at Lin Xian and said with his arms folded across his chest. "Besides, you found this material, and I don't like to take advantage of others."

"That's right." Shi Diyuan totally disagreed with this division: "There are more than a thousand people on my bus. Although Longshan No. 30 will benefit the most according to this division, I'm not so shameless. I take the supplies for more than a thousand people, while you, Brother Lin, take the supplies for more than people. Aren't you embarrassing me, my brother?"

Ning Jing also nodded: "This distribution method is indeed not very reasonable, you Infinite Team should take more."

Li Yi nodded in agreement: "I think we should divide it by fleet, and let Captain Lin arrange the distribution ratio."

"This is fine." Luo Yang also said.

If the supplies are divided equally among the fleets, it would be the most cost-effective for Infinity, as there are fewer people and more supplies, so the per capita supplies are higher.

"Captain Lin, I have a suggestion." Just as everyone was discussing the matter, Monica came over with a bottle of red wine in one hand and a box of frozen steak in the other and said, "There are many kinds of supplies here, and each team has different needs. For example, my team is not short of supplies. Just let me get some wine and steak, nothing else."

"So I suggest that your Infinity can first select the supplies you want, and let everyone distribute the rest according to their needs. Isn't there a weapons warehouse? That's perfect. If you want medical supplies, just take less rice, flour and oil. If you want to eat meat, just take less equipment. That's all."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes lit up and they all agreed.
“Hey, this one’s fine!”

"That makes sense. Brother Lin made the choice first, so I feel at ease. Haha."

"It is true that several convoys are currently in short supply of medical supplies, but food is not the first problem."

"Yep."

Lin Xian looked at Kiki after hearing this, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this. I'll ask Teacher Chen to bring people to take inventory of the supplies here, and then let each team make a request and simply neutralize it."

Faced with everyone's suggestions, Lin Xian did not shirk. He was not a polite person. If the 22 train convoys here had not come out of Xilan City together through hardships, there was only one possibility for him to give out % of the supplies to others, that is, the Infinity Cargo could not hold any more.

Another point is that the survival supplies on the Infinity are now very sufficient. With the full-effect medical cabin, the demand for medical supplies has been reduced a lot. Only some surgical first aid modules, stem cell gel, and antibacterial agents are needed.

So Lin Xian is actually just like Monica, more interested in frozen meat, seafood and red wine, which improves Infinity's living standards.

After coming out of the permanent warehouse, everyone immediately rushed to the weapons warehouse, while Ning Jing and Li Yi stayed here, waiting for Chen Sixuan and the people from Longshan No. 1 to come over to count the supplies and then distribute them.

Lin Xian has always been curious about the StarCraft III level individual weapon set that Grace mentioned. There are actually 1000 sets, which is definitely a huge amount. So compared to daily necessities, Lin Xian is more interested in the weapons warehouse.

The group walked into the depths of a maintenance tunnel and activated a special switch through a code device. Soon, the door hidden in the wall began to slowly open.

null! null! null!
The headlights of the huge air-raid warehouse lit up one after another, and the first thing that caught everyone's eye on the black fire-retardant paint floor was a row of all-terrain armored vehicles!
These armored vehicles were well-equipped and covered with standard external armor. There were as many as 10 of them at a glance. What made everyone gasp was that in the middle of the warehouse, there were 4 Nightstar-3 super cruise aircraft parked neatly!
This is an advanced aircraft with high maneuverability that can carry 2-3 people at a time. It uses a Hall electric propulsion engine as vertical lift and a plasma pulse engine as main power. Its cruising speed can reach Mach 5. It also uses a nuclear battery array made of plutonium-238 isotope and has foldable wings. Except for the lack of a weapon system, it has cutting-edge technology in all aspects!

"Wow, trucks and planes, this Crimson World has provided quite a lot of things to its members!" Shi Diyuan looked shocked.

"It seems that they are all equipped for the Zero Element Center, so that those people in the survival capsule can use them to escape." Qian Dele said.

Lin Xian was a little surprised, because these two types of vehicles were not included in the negotiation information revealed by Grace at the beginning.

"This intelligent butler actually has a trick up his sleeve." Kiki also thought of the same thing as Lin Xian at this time.

Lin Xian glanced over and said, "Maybe she thought these things were useless to our train fleet, so she didn't mention them."

"It's also possible that these things are left for those who want to live forever to escape, and they may not want to trade them."

"That makes sense." Lin Xian and his group quickly walked into the warehouse, saying as they walked, "Those trucks are good things, but even if there is a helicopter elevator here, we really can't drive it away."

"What about the aircraft?" Kiki asked, "I see the size of the aircraft after folding. If the carriage is modified..."

Lin Xian frowned and thought for a moment: "There is a mecha hangar in carriage No. 11. We can use a 6-axis robotic arm to load one up."

Kiki nodded: "Yeah, with this it will be much more convenient for us to move around."

The group walked past the aircraft and walked inside. At this time, rows of black tactical display cabinets appeared in front of them. The lights were turned on, and sets of black exoskeleton power armor appeared in the display cabinets, including a silver main weapon that seemed to be some kind of arc pulse gun, and two secondary weapons. In addition, there were power packs, holographic night vision headgear, small medical kits and a lot of other individual tactical equipment. This kind of interstellar level III individual weapon set, looking at it, has no end in sight, giving people an extremely arrogant feeling!

"Wow! So many power armors!!" Seeing this magnificent scene, Kiki couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This Crimson World is too rich!"

Not only her, but everyone else was also shocked. Luo Yang walked forward with a surprised look on his face and pressed the switch. The door of one of the tactical display cabinets opened automatically. He looked at the parameters and couldn't help but say
"This... This is Lone Wolf's military-grade rapid response power armor. It should be the latest model of tactical-grade power armor. Many interstellar military front-line soldiers have not yet used this latest model!"

Seeing this, Monica couldn't help but cross her arms and sighed, "My men were all using Lone Wolf A, but I didn't expect them to have already used the latest Lone Wolf S."

"Well, don't be so modest with us. They are all tactical grade. How big of a difference can there be between the newer and the older ones?" Qian Dele said with interest: "But with so many sets, it is enough for us to equip a thousand ordinary people with combat power above the King Kong level."

"Haha, we've hit on a big treasure this time!" Shi Diyuan pulled off the bandage hanging around his neck and said excitedly while moving his hands: "With this, the strength of our team will be greatly enhanced!"

Lin Xian stared blankly at the rows of tactical cabinets that were arranged neatly like dominoes, and couldn't help laughing.

He had originally planned to equip everyone in the Infinity with TRP power armor, but unexpectedly, a pillow came to him, and a thousand sets of professional tactical-grade power armor individual suits were placed in front of him.

The level of power armor is formulated by the former Federation based on combat purpose, functional coverage, output power, intelligence and power level. It is divided into three levels, namely tactical level, Iron Hunter/Phantom Wolf level and interstellar level. Strictly speaking, there is actually a category before the tactical level, called industrial level.

As the name suggests, this type of power armor is used in civilian industrial scenarios and has no tactical role. For example, the TRP power armor that Lin Xian obtained from Ding Qing is a special industrial type. It's just because Ding Qing asked someone to illegally upgrade this power armor, installed an intelligent tactical computer, radar and situational awareness system, and removed the safety restrictions on all power motors, so it can basically be regarded as a semi-military tactical grade.

The Lone Wolf A equipped by Monica's team is a genuine military tactical grade, much more advanced than his, and equipped with more complete functions. The Lone Wolf S in front of him is an upgraded version of this type, and should be stronger than the Lone Wolf A in various technical parameters. But as Qian Dele said, even if it is an upgrade, it is still in the tactical level.

Because the Iron Hunter/Phantom Wolf class no longer belongs to the category of power armor, but rather [Battle Armor], it is a true full-coverage battle armor like Iron Man. The most basic standard of full-coverage battle armor is amphibious combat, covering land, low altitude, and water. It is very comprehensive, like a small humanoid mecha. It is often used in special operations because of its extremely high agility and tactical characteristics.

The difference between the Iron Hunter and the Phantom Wolf is mainly a tactical difference. The former has hard armor and takes firepower into consideration, while the latter mainly relies on high mobility.

Judging from the level standards, Mr. Chen's current Black Hawk armor and Monica's red soft armor should belong to the [Phantom Wolf Level] in this level!
