Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 186 - 181 The Town

(PS: Many friends say that the data panel is just padding the word count, but it’s actually not, ha. The mechanical superpower is a bit complex, and I usually only reveal it every several dozen Chapters. The last upgrade was in Chapter 120..., the content of the upgrades always tends to be on the lesser side, but since everyone feels it’s filler, I’ll try to keep it brief in the future. Thank you for your generous patience.)

...

10 o’clock in the morning, and it’s already bright outside. After a night of anxiety and vigilance, the tense atmosphere inside the Infinity has finally improved a bit.

Since they hadn’t opened the doors, Chen Sixuan started leading the group to continue perfecting the assembly work inside the living area of the carriage, while distributing water and food.

After sleeping through the night, Sha Sha woke up early and helped her brother sort out the military hardware in Cargo Bay 5.

Lin Xian had slept for three hours to recover some energy. When he stepped out of the Life Cabin, he saw KIKI already sitting in front of the computer at the information center, nibbling on a piece of bread while operating a drone to observe the information of the small town.

As Lin Xian stepped into Carriage 2, KIKI glanced at him and the corner of her mouth curled into a meaningful smile, then she turned her head back to the screen as if nothing had happened.

Lin Xian felt that KIKI’s gaze was a bit strange, which suddenly made him feel embarrassed, wondering if she had discovered him stealing a kiss last night.

If that was the case, then his image in KIKI’s mind would now be that of an unshakable beast.

"You’re awake?"

At this time, Chen Sixuan also came over and said to Lin Xian: "You only slept for a few hours?"

Lin Xian was originally about to say something, but seeing Chen Sixuan approach, he cleared his throat and responded: "That’s enough. I can’t sleep too long. Now that it’s daylight, I’m preparing to take some people to have a look around the town."

"I want to go too! I want to go too!"

Sha Sha ran over from the corridor with a look full of eagerness to try.

"You should stay here; we need to leave some people on defense on the vehicle. If you really want to get off, you can search around this freight station with them and see if there’s any situation."

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Sha Sha immediately felt somewhat disappointed: "Okay, then you guys be careful."

"Right."

Lin Xian remembered something, gathered materials from the Preparation Factory, and started manufacturing quickly. After about ten minutes, a black Thunderstorm A1 Grenade Gun was made.

"Wow!!"

Sha Sha’s eyes widened in surprise as she snatched it from Lin Xian’s hands, her face full of amazement: "Oh my God, Brother Lin, when did you learn to make this?"

The petite Sha Sha, holding such a large weapon, seemed a bit incongruous, but Lin Xian found that it seemed not so heavy in her hands, which surprised him a bit.

"You seem to handle it quite easily?"

"Is it very heavy?" Sha Sha weighed it in her hands: "It’s just a tiny bit heavier than mine, but this one can load six rounds at once, it must be much more powerful."

Her previous disappointment seemed to have disappeared instantly. Sha Sha’s eyes were shining with excitement as she held the weapon lovingly.

Chen Sixuan then looked towards Lin Xian: "How should we arrange the rest of the people?"

"You lead people to clean up around the train, Sha Sha joins Brother Huo in checking out the freight station; collect any good materials you find. I’ll go with the young lady, Shu Qin and the soldiers from the Building and split into two groups to check out the town."

On board, there were also Ding Junyi and some women from the living area. Leaving Lu Xingchen, a Fire-element superpower user, on the train gave Lin Xian some peace of mind. After all, this guy doesn’t like to wander around and prefers to bask in the sun and brew tea. With his strong abilities, he was the perfect person for defense.

Shu Qin had excellent skills and a cautious and sharp personality. Lin Xian planned to have her lead the Building’s group to inspect the surroundings of the small town.

He wanted to find out if there was anything special about the area and range that could block the Abnormal Bodies from entering the town.

"There’s more." Lin Xian glanced towards the direction of the cockpit and said to Chen Sixuan, "Pay attention to the transponder and communicator, and inform me immediately if there’s any situation."

"Okay."

"Right, the weapons station has been deployed. If necessary, you can use the automatic firing mode. Director Ding has entered the facial and biometric information of our personnel into the friendly forces system. If you don’t know how to use the target search, you can ask Sha Sha; I’ve already taught her this morning." KIKI said to Chen Sixuan.

Chen Sixuan was a bit confused and looked towards Lin Xian: "The big cannon?"

Lin Xian nodded, "Just in case, you have countermeasures on the vehicle."

Although it was daytime, now that the vehicle-mounted weapons station had been built, the personnel guarding the vehicle still needed to be able to use it in case of trouble. If there was an attack, the people on the vehicle could also use the Close-in Weapon System for cover.

"Alright, I got it." Chen Sixuan nodded, feeling somewhat emotional inside.

Before, while guarding the vehicle, all she could do was hold a wrench and wait painfully for Lin Xian to return, but now not only had they an armed team, but also a vehicle-mounted Close-in Weapon system to greatly enhance both defenses and firepower.

Under Lin Xian’s arrangement, everyone in the vehicle was ready, and the combat personnel, each armed, stood behind automatic doors 5 and 11, waiting for Lin Xian to open the door.

"Everyone, pay attention. There might be other survivors here. It’s unclear if they are friend or foe, so stay cautious."

Lin Xian announced this over the communicator on the public channel.

Hiss~

The automatic blast door opened quickly. Though the sun shone brightly outside, there was a chilling breeze blowing in, and the temperature inside the vehicle was slightly higher due to the presence of living people.

Everyone stepped off the vehicle with raised guns in unison, and Lin Xian waved his hand. Lv Chang, Miao Lu, and other evolved skilled individuals agilely dispersed to survey the situation around the train platform.

Sha Sha, clutching her new weapon, followed Lu Xingchen off the vehicle one after the other.

The lift platform of carriage 11 lowered, and a bulletproof SUV drove out from the Building onto the platform. Shu Qin got into the co-driver’s seat and said to Lin Xian, "Captain Lin, be careful. Generally, those hiding in the town are likely to be ruthless people."

"I know." Lin Xian nodded and pointed towards the railway line behind them, "Building Shu Qin, start by searching from the area we entered and around the outskirts of the town. It would be best if we can determine the general scope."

If there was an area that could shield the Abnormal Bodies, it definitely meant there was something special about it, whether inside the town or on the outskirts. Out of caution, Lin Xian decided to split up into two groups to scout. Also, because of the strange circumstances here, he didn’t send ordinary team members to search the town for supplies, as he didn’t want to use his teammates as cannon fodder.

"Got it, Brother Xian." Building responded and immediately started the engine and drove off the platform.

Buzz~

"Let’s go too."

KIKI also got on the long-idle motorcycle, carrying Lin Xian along the road toward the town.

The entire Infinity was guarded by combat personnel, and after Lin Xian and Shu Qin left as a scouting team, Chen Sixuan began to lead people off the vehicle to clean up yesterday’s bloody remnants and shreds of flesh with a high-pressure water gun after the battle against the Abnormal Bodies. These remnants emitted a foul smell. Lin Xian also worried that this scent might be one of the reasons attracting the nocturnal Abnormal Bodies. Since Apocalypse Day, he had always maintained the habit of cleaning and scent masking, which was also recognized by Chen Sixuan, who always tried to keep the train clean.

"Let’s go check out those warehouses."

Sha Sha, small yet astutely bold, wore a pair of sunglasses and held the Thunderstorm A1 Grenade Gun with style as she said to Lu Xingchen.

At that moment, Lu Xingchen was carrying a chair down, intending to leisurely bask in the sun while guarding the vehicle.

Tch~

Sha Sha gave him a glare, "Stop being lazy. Aren’t you looking for tea leaves? Are you still looking or not?"

Lu Xingchen crossed his arms and glanced at the sealed warehouse doors, chuckling, "Stupid, anyone can see that this place is for storing chemicals. How could there be any tea leaves~"

Upon hearing this, Sha Sha became so angry she was about to explode, but suddenly her eyes spun, and with a cunning look, she murmured, "Fine, if you’re not going, then I’ll just go with them. Anyway, if I encounter some bad guys who kill me, it doesn’t matter. At worst, people will only say that you, the Fire God, are all talk and no action, strong on the outside but weak on the inside..."
