Chapter 300 Lu Xingchen's Accident
Chi~
In the dark underground track, the automatic door of the Infinity train opened, and Lin Xian walked to the door wearing the black Lone Wolf S power armor. The night vision system and intelligent target search system were automatically activated to help him observe the situation at both ends of the dark tunnel.

This type of power armor has very good overall coordination and good protective capabilities. Before in Xilan City, Lin Xian had seen similar power armor soldiers in a mecha wing of the Seventh Survey Corps. The only difference was the paint and model, but overall it was similar to the ones under Monica.

Soldiers who can wear such power armor generally belong to special operations units, which are a level higher than the ordinary exoskeletons equipped by the entire interstellar army. In addition, with the physical evolution brought about by dark energy, these soldiers should also have at least evolutionary level or even King Kong level combat power.

However, combat capability assessment is one thing, and actual combat is another. The human body is still very weak compared to those monsters. Even an ordinary snow monster may die from its sharp tail needle if one is not careful. Lin Xian once studied the tail needle of the snow monster. It was extremely dense, comparable to high-strength hard alloy. It was hard to imagine that carbon-based organisms could grow such biological limbs.

With these Lone Wolf S power armors, the ordinary members of the Infinity have been strengthened as a whole. They are not only more flexible but also have higher protection. Coupled with the latest arc pulse guns, they are already comparable to the individual combat power of the Interstellar Army. However, there is still some gap in the tactical qualities of professionally trained soldiers. Another point is the effect brought by the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, which can be regarded as a cold-dark reagent converter for all members, which will allow the members of the Infinity to take a step further in evolution, and the Heterogeneous Cube can provide a shielding effect against the power of dark invasion, which makes the evolution of the Infinity members safer.

"Hey, Lin Xian."

KIKI followed behind Lin Xian and whispered to him, "Do you feel that there has been something wrong with Brother Huo from just now until now?"

"How to say?"

"This guy is usually the most active in drinking and tea, and he loves to show off, but since we went down to this underground tunnel, he seems to be a little taciturn, and he also wears several more clothes." KIKI frowned: "Don't you think it's weird?"

Lin Xian pondered after hearing this, and then said, "I remember the last time we went to the SIID Foundation's underground research institute, he said that he didn't like going underground. This might be the reason."

KIKI nodded: "Oh~ I remember now, okay."

Lin Xian and KIKI got off the car together. He had already built several vehicle track trailers on the vacant tracks outside the weapons warehouse, which were specially used to store all-terrain armored trucks and Nightstar aircraft. The people from Longshan No. 1 carried them onto the car, and Lin Xian built a simple external carriage outside. When the train departs, the last car will mount the carriage with cables and then tow it away, which can save a lot of trouble.

He planned to devour some valuable targets in the Zero Element Center first, and then return to the car and take the time to build a new electromagnetic railgun to enhance firepower.

The two of them walked along the tunnel to the platform of Zero Element Center and entered through the passage that had been cleared of danger. As soon as the automatic door opened, Luo Yang and others who were guarding inside turned around immediately.

"Team Lin!"

Lin Xian glanced around and found that in addition to Luo Yang, there were also the injured Li Guangwen and Amin Luoluo. They were all wearing black lone wolf power armor and were guarding the hall and talking in a low voice. When they saw Lin Xian coming in, they immediately came to greet him.
"There was nothing unusual. The robots were all operating automatically. However, because the main brain was offline, the fault alarm went off many times, but it had no effect."

Lin Xian nodded. After all, there were more than a thousand people lying here. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he asked Luo Yang to arrange people to guard here. Unexpectedly, he came here in person with several injured people.

"Captain Lin." Li Guangwen, Luoluo Amin and several other young people also greeted him actively.

"How are their injuries?" Lin Xian looked at them. He knew that they were seriously injured. Although they had undergone emergency repair of external injuries in the full-effect medical cabin, the human body was not as simple as mechanical repair. Several people were on the verge of death. Even Liang Lei, who was as strong as an ox and had the supernatural power of metal skin, has not woken up yet.

"It's much better now." Lolo and Amin looked at Lin Xian with gratitude.

"Yes, thanks to Team Lin's medical bay."

"Huh?" KIKI flew to the row of control terminals, looked at the fluctuation data on them, and said, "The brain wave activity of these people seems to have collectively weakened a lot."

"Yes!"

Luo Yang said at this time: "We discovered it as soon as we arrived. I checked the detection period. Since the end of the 'active' period mentioned by Captain Lin, the brain wave consciousness signal fluctuations of everyone here have all decreased by at least 98%. Among them, more than a dozen people have already shown a state of brain death."

Lin Xian walked to the glass curtain wall and looked towards the center of the hive below. The hexagonal honeycomb cabins were still flashing blue light. Everyone seemed to be sleeping peacefully, and the white hyphae had been cut off again by a special blocking instrument.

"It seems that this system should be set up with the same cycle as the activity frequency of the hyphae, actively connected for 9 hours and then cut off for 30 hours."

"So, half of the dead didn't die all at once." KIKI crossed his arms and looked around: "Those who couldn't survive 9 hours died. I thought these people were in this state 24 hours a day."

"How is that possible? If we keep plugging in, won't we be the same as those human bacteria?"

Lin Xian said: "But this blocking method is too simple. I thought it was some high-tech technology."

“So, there is no danger to his life. He is in good health. He was just happy for 9 hours. How could he die?” Lolo, who was standing by, was obviously a curious person. He came over and asked.

"Nine hours of happiness?" Lin Xian smiled speechlessly. "In 9th century Europe, in addition to cruel physical torture, there was also a form of punishment called laughing punishment. This form of punishment was completely bloodless and used a seemingly harmless method to execute the punishment. That is, the prisoners were tied up tightly, and then honey or salt was smeared on the soles of their feet, and then goats were allowed to lick them. How long do you think they could last?"

"Lick the soles of feet? Is that considered a punishment?"

"Forget it." Luo Yang also said at this time: "I know this. Half an hour will make people unable to bear it. Just one to two hours is enough to cause cardiac arrest or suffocation and death."

"Yes, but this one causes functional damage to the body, while they only damage the brain. There is still some difference." Lin Xian said: "But the trauma caused by high-intensity brain calculations is irreversible."

After saying that, Lin Xian turned around and began to scan the surveillance hall, wondering where to start.

Lin Xian had no interest in those operation and maintenance robots, because they were all designed specifically for the Hive Center and were far less practical than his PX-05 maintenance robots. And now he already had the Thunder Falcon 2000 attack robot, so these things were only worth swallowing up by him.

However, he planned to deal with these robots, the large suspended mechanical arms inside, and the energy system here in the end, starting with the instruments and equipment and the various detectors in the passage, etc. The most important thing was the ultra-high temperature plasma beam cutting array. Lin Xian had just thought of this in the car. If this thing replaced the electric blade armor system on the train, and was densely arranged, and then combined with the arc pulse string vibrator, if it encountered a strange tide like the snow demon before, wouldn't the Infinity become a large cutting machine, and it would be smashed and chopped up? !
Of course, this plasma beam cutting array cannot be kept open for a long time with current material technology. Even if it can be used, the power usage is definitely stronger than that of an electromagnetic railgun. With the current power supply of the Infinity Gemini, Lin Xian estimates that it is a bit risky.

But meals can be eaten one bite at a time. Just like the electric blade armor system, Lin Xian can build one first. As long as Grace's intelligent brain system can be used for train design and modification, many of Lin Xian's blueprints will have the opportunity to be expanded and extended.

Without further ado, Lin Xian arranged for Luo Yang and several others to help patrol various areas, while Lin Xian began to prepare for the swallowing. KIKI, as a bodyguard and assistant, was bored so she followed Luo Yang around.

[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +15, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +10]

Lin Xian first devoured the energy conversion cabinet of Grace's body, and prepared to take Grace's power cabin away directly. This power cabin can be used for charging and partial body repair. Lin Xian was too lazy to scan and manufacture it, so it would be convenient to take it back directly for use.

Since entering Yijin City, Lin Xian has been swallowing a lot. Because of the convenience of swallowing through the air, his efficiency has also improved a lot. In a short period of time, his swallowing proficiency has increased by hundreds.

Mechanical Devouring: 4 (1316/2000)

He estimated that after he dealt with this zero element center and then found a nuclear power device to devour, he would be able to upgrade to level 5. By then, not only would his devouring efficiency be improved, but he would also be able to meet the conditions for the mechanical amplification of the electric surge.

click!
Lin Xian opened the inspection port of the passage, found the plasma beam device inside, and immediately began scanning.

[Scan progress 2%]

Although this device is relatively sophisticated and complicated, it is not very large in size. Lin Xian estimates that it should be able to complete the scan in about an hour and then devour it.

On the other side, on the Infinity, some team members in the living compartment were resting, while the remaining team members were on guard duty. They all put on power armor for the first time, and they were all extremely excited, constantly studying the various functions inside.

Although Xiaoyuan's injuries have not yet healed, she follows her teammates to learn how to operate and use power armor, hoping to master it and improve her abilities as soon as possible.

When passing through Xilan City, she deeply felt the danger faced by Lin Xian and the core team members. After she was rescued from the mouth of the abyss worm by Lin Xian, Xiao Yuan secretly vowed in her heart that she must quickly improve herself so that she can keep up with Lin Xian's pace and help him share some of the burden.

In Carriage No. 5, the building was looking at the size of the power armor in front of him with a worried look on his face. This kind of power armor had the function of automatically extending and adapting to the user's body, but the problem was that he was nearly 2 meters tall, and even if the power armor was opened to the maximum, he couldn't wear it at all.

"give up."

Shasha manipulated the parameters on the power armor and said to her brother, "This thing is for people of standard size in the army. You are too tall and I am too short. Neither of us can use it."

Dasha took a deep breath and said, "The monsters we encounter are becoming more and more troublesome. My ability is growing too slowly, and I'm worried that I can't help you and Brother Xian."

"What are you talking about?" Shasha punched her brother's arm. "You are much stronger than before. You held on to such a scary monster wave for several hours with a knife. You are more powerful than my Sally. Is this what you call slow growth?"

"Besides, didn't Brother Lin tell you that he would make you a set of power armor that suits your body shape later? Don't worry about it."

Dalou nodded when he heard that. He knew that his abilities had improved a lot compared to when he was in Beiwan, but the monsters he encountered along the way were getting stronger and stronger, giving him a feeling that the more he grew, the more powerless he became. He thought of Lu Yong who died beside him. A hero could not defeat a pack of wolves... Shasha looked at Dalou with a somewhat dejected expression. She knew that her brother was under a lot of pressure, so she said:
"Brother, the problems in Xilan City cannot be solved by superpowers. There are so many planes and cannons, and Brother Lin drove such a large mecha. So many people were sacrificed to win the victory. This shows that it is difficult to defeat these dark creatures with our current personal means. Don't think too much. Besides, didn't the Night Walkers teach us during the superpower test? The development of superpowers has great prospects. You should study more in this area."

The building's brows relaxed when he heard this: "You are right."

He immediately stood up and walked to Lu Xingchen's room, wanting to ask him for advice on developing superpowers. After all, this kid usually likes to study superpowers. In this defense of Xilan City, the new skills he used were several times more powerful than before, and he obviously benefited from it.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the door of the building, he saw Lu Xingchen sitting cross-legged and drinking tea inside. He pulled up his sleeves secretly and looked at him with an unnatural expression.

"What's up?"

"Oh, I just..." Dalou scratched his head and looked at Lu Xingchen, who was covered in thick clothes. He felt a little strange, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he stated his purpose: "I just want to ask you about the development direction of my blood energy ability."

"Aren't there suggestions in the manual given by the Phoenix Society?" Lu Xingchen said calmly with a slightly downcast look.

The building opened his mouth, and noticed that Lu Xingchen seemed a little depressed, so he quickly said: “Uh, okay.”

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. After thinking for a while, he added, "Um... Brother Lu, if you have anything unpleasant, just relax. Brother Xian gave me a bottle of white wine and I have been saving it. How about we have a drink?"

"no need."

Lu Xingchen simply shook his head and refused.

"alright."

Seeing the building turn around, Lu Xingchen's complex expression showed some reluctance, and suddenly he said

"The characteristic of your blood energy ability is that you have a strong self-healing ability. The stronger the blood energy, the greater the power. This shows that your body's vitality is very strong. In other words, your resistance to the environment, dark invasion, and nerve paralysis is stronger than other psychics. So do you think that your resistance to the toxins of black smoke and blood essence may also be stronger? Of course... this is all my guess."

Dasha was stunned when he heard this. He understood what Lu Xingchen meant. The black smoke after the death of the strange body included the dark invading power carried in the blood essence, which was very destructive to the body and mind. Most people would pursue balance appropriately, but for someone with superpowers like Dasha, the threshold of resistance might be higher.

This shows that although the physical system does not seem to have much potential, its survival rate in the dark should not be low. Thinking in this way, it seems to understand why there are more physical system psychics and the degree of enhancement through combat will be higher.

The building nodded, turned around and looked at Lu Xingchen again, and said, "Okay, I'll remember it."

After saying that, he started to leave.

Seeing the building leaving, Lu Xingchen sighed quietly. At this time, he lifted up his wrist cuffs again. He saw that the deep part of his wrist was covered with dark blue lines, as if a large amount of hyphae was spreading on the skin, which looked extremely weird.

"It seems that my cultivation path in this life has come to an end..."

Then he looked up at his extremely tidy room, which contained a makeup mirror, a small tea table, a tea maker made by Lin Xian, and the doll given by Sasha. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry."

……

[Scanning successful, obtaining ultra-high temperature plasma beam line cutting array (blueprint)]

[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +120, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +40]

"Whoo~"

At the entrance of the Zero Element central channel, Lin Xian spent more than an hour to finally complete this set of equipment. Strictly speaking, this set of equipment was designed specifically for this channel, and the scanned blueprint was also a slide rail array with a very strange configuration. Therefore, if it is really to be used on Infinity, Lin Xian must modify the blueprint.

I looked at the time. It was already 2 a.m. According to the time calculation, there should be more than 20 hours before the next mycelium active period.

"After we get a few more pieces of equipment we don't need, we'll go back to work on the equipment."

The materials for the decomposition center were almost ready. Lin Xian planned to start manufacturing the electromagnetic gun after dealing with [Grace]. In addition, he still needed a mechanical arm for carriage No. 11, and a bullet punching machine...

Lin Xian thought in his mind that after rushing out of here, he would merge the Sun Team into Infinity. Luo Yang and Li Yi were both good people. Uncle Wu and Uncle Liao, a group of retired veterans, tried their best to protect them. Then, in order to follow Lin Xian, Luo Yang and his team even replaced their entire team with trains. With such sincerity, Lin Xian had no reason to refuse.

In addition, Lin Xian also has to expand his power. Darkness is swallowing up the dawn, and the road ahead is becoming more and more difficult. When these people gather together, he feels more hopeful.

Lin Xian had learned about the Sun Team. They had an engineering-grade nuclear-powered locomotive with a power of only about 200 megawatts, far from the intercontinental level. However, for a doomsday escape, having a nuclear-powered locomotive could be said to be extremely valuable.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sun Caravan wanted to follow the Phoenix Order's caravan to avoid entering the polar night, it would be impossible for them to exchange all the supplies and vehicles of Luo Yang and Li Yi's two caravans with him.

It is also because of this that Qian Dele's Joker team was able to get one.

In addition, the Sun Team has a total of 11 carriages. Although the armor is not as good as the current Infinity's mecha composite armor, it is also considered strong. Otherwise, it would be impossible to cross the snowfield and reach Xilan City. In terms of firepower, each carriage is equipped with a machine gun turret and a Gatling cannon. In addition, all other weapons were taken away by the original Sun Team members. Luo Yang and Li Yi moved all the light weapons of their own team up for use, and the supplies were also their own.

The original Luo Yang team had 34 people, the core of which was the captain Luo Yang. His special ability was similar to Abai's, a kind of strange eyes, and his pupils could accumulate energy and detonate at a long distance.

Then there is the core of the combat force, Li Guangwen, a user with the Thunder Fist ability. Both he and Luo Yang are users who have reached the violent level. There are also Amin and Luo Luo, two masters of genetically evolved physical skills with excellent skills, plus a boy named Zhang Xiaobai, who is mainly responsible for the technical support of the team.

Luo Yang's convoy was mainly composed of several student survivors from the original university town. They were all of similar age, and most of them were from engineering departments and sports colleges, so they had strong execution capabilities and had developed many defensive weapons and traps.

Li Yi and Liang Lei's convoy had a large number of people. Excluding those who died in Xilan City, there were about 110 people left. The leaders were Liang Lei and Li Yi.

Liang Lei's supernatural power belongs to a relatively rare type in the physical system. His skin can be metalized and can also be strengthened. He has a physique as strong as a building. Especially after his whole body is metalized, he is like a metal war bear. His supernatural power evaluation index is 1100, and the building's is 1120, which is about the same.

Li Yi is also a person with superpowers, but her superpowers are rather useless because they are hardly ever used. It took her a long time to learn that she could breathe underwater and fly quickly. In addition, she was pregnant, so she basically had no chance to fight in actual combat. Instead, she served as the team's military strategist and logistics manager.

In addition, almost half of the people in the Pao Ben Yuanying convoy were workers from Liang Lei's previous engineering team, all of whom came with their families. This group of people were kind-hearted, and they rescued many survivors in distress along the way. The team continued to expand, because they rescued those who were not very strong in combat and had no resources, many of whom brought children with them. You know, in doomsday, children can't help much, so along the way, the entire convoy had more than 20 children, ranging from 3 to 10 years old.

So overall, the strongest fighting force of this team is Liang Lei and the more than 110 workers who are strong and have various machinery and construction skills, as well as some adult men who joined later. Among the 60 people, a total of about are combat-capable. Except for the children, the remaining or so are basically women who are responsible for logistics.

Now these 144 people are living in the train of the Sun Team. The environment is much better than before, it is like a mobile family. Lin Xian thinks that this team plus the original members of Infinity have about 180 people. This time the overall combat power of the combatants has been improved by the armor. There are 140 sets of power armor on both sides. Almost all of them can be equipped with it except for children and some logistics. It is really powerful!
Lin Xian was thinking while swallowing the gait scanner, when suddenly, Luo Yang's voice came from the communicator.

"Captain Lin, there's something going on here!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately stopped what he was doing, stood up and woke up KIKI who was dozing off behind him, and then the two of them quickly ran to the other side of the circular passage. Not long after, they saw Luo Yang, Amin and Luo Luo surrounding a woman in a white hibernation suit, who seemed to have come out of a survival capsule elevator nearby.

The woman's hair was disheveled but neat. She was lying on the ground, her whole body trembling mechanically. She looked at the three people in horror while twitching, and kept shouting:

"Grace! Grace!! Butler! Butler!"

Lin Xian walked over and found that there were still some broken mycelium left on the woman's cheeks and head. His eyes immediately turned cold and he raised his hand, ready to kill her.

But before he could make a move, KIKI beside him suddenly called him
"Lin Xian, don't do anything yet!"

Lin Xian turned his head and found that KIKI had a strange look on his face. He frowned and stared, and then he spoke after a while.

"I know her."
