Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 231 - 221 Lightly Touching Missile_2

Lin Xian’s eyes burned as he pressed the communicator and said to Shu Qin, "Shu Qin, I’ve found something good here, unloaded missiles from the transport ship. It might take some time."

Upon hearing this, Shu Qin immediately responded, "Missiles? Haven’t they been taken away by those survivors?"

Lin Xian snorted directly at the words, "How could that be? These are missiles, not rocket launchers. Hoisting missiles requires professional equipment; how could those survivors carry them away by hand? Even if you carry them away, how would you use them without a launch device, by ramming them into the Abnormal Body’s face?"

Missile systems are not infantry equipment, nor are they things that can simply be blown up because of a crowd. These things—the missile body, launch device, search radar, and fire control system—are indispensable, and they require regular maintenance.

Lin Xian looked at the weapon station, where even several Guardian 86 anti-aircraft missile loading racks had fractured and rolled to the ground. He reckoned that the sight would scare those survivors’ souls away; the weapon station not undergoing sympathetic detonation was already lucky. It would be impossible to just pick up missiles and carry them back to the survivor caravan.

On the transport ship, almost all compartments had been thoroughly searched. Any useful infantry equipment, supplies, and tools were taken without exception, and in this current environment, how could the Federation Government possibly send an airship specifically to recover a few missiles?

"That’s true..." Shu Qin smiled helplessly; she didn’t understand these things, so she asked, "Then, Captain Lin, should we move these?"

"We can’t move them."

Lin Xian took a deep breath, standing outside the weapon station hatch, "We only have two motorcycles, and we must carry the entire radar system, launch device, and missiles together."

Disassembly is unlikely, but scanning the blueprints and devouring them could work.

Lin Xian instructed Shu Qin to keep watch outside while he prepared to study these missiles thoroughly.

"Devouring missiles... sounds thrilling."

Lin Xian swallowed, feeling quite nervous; he was afraid that the things inside might accidentally explode, and even with quick reflexes, he wouldn’t be able to escape.

Ensuring there was no other living person inside the transport ship, Lin Xian reached out to create a simple hydraulic press, slowly pushing open the deformed hatch.

There were convenient small tools readily available, making Lin Xian’s superpower very handy for exploration.

Squeak~ Cracking sounds could be heard as the deformed hatch was pushed open. Lin Xian set up a brace to hold the door and then stepped inside, his eyes first landing on the white Guardian 86 anti-aircraft missile on the floor, even its body slightly deformed.

"Brother, listen, I’m just going to touch you, don’t explode."

Lin Xian hesitated for a moment, then directly walked over, crouched down, and reached out to touch the cold missile.

[Scanning... Progress 15%]

[Scanning progress 50%]

After roughly 20 minutes, Lin Xian finally completed the entire scan.

[Scan complete, Guardian 86 anti-aircraft missile blueprint acquired]

No fault messages appeared as anticipated, which slightly eased Lin Xian’s mind, suggesting the missile was quite durable.

At this moment, he felt somewhat excited; if he could install the whole missile launch device and radar system onto the Infinity, that would be amazing.

It’s worth noting that the Storm Eye F12 supersonic sky ship missiles have a range of at least 500 kilometers, utilizing the supersonic ramjet engine with a cruise speed reaching 6 Mach.

The only problem is that long-distance signals and radar are obscured by the dark tide, so distant targets can only use inertial guidance, while at short distances, the speed doesn’t ramp up.

"Who cares..."

Lin Xian clicked his tongue, thinking he might be overthinking things.

"To attack the Abnormal Body, you don’t need to break through an air defense system; just slam it directly on the face!"

With ample time, Lin Xian could scan all the missiles and launch racks, so he decisively took action and approached the large Storm Eye F12 supersonic sky ship missile...

On the other side, KIKI, the building, and Lv Chang led people along the direction of the ring star main orbit toward East City, which is Hengshan Pass’s main commercial area. Under the sunlight, the once prosperous city CBD high-rises and various shopping malls stood silently, yet were incredibly desolate. Except for the zombies wandering the streets, abandoned rusty cars, and overgrown streets, only the scent of decayed human presence remained.

An off-road vehicle welded with armor plates attracted several zombies quickly darting through the streets, Lv Chang excitedly driving, while Dalou was holding a Gatling gun sitting in the passenger seat, with two other team members in the back seat.

Due to the size issue, Dalou was somewhat limited in driving, so Lv Chang happily took the driver’s seat, and KIKI was flying above the street, acting as a guide for them.

"It’s nice to fly, when will we be able to fly~" Lv Chang said enviously.

Dalou glanced at him: "Which superpowers can fly?"

Lv Chang shrugged: "Mm~ still quite rare to see, except for that winged birdman before, I can’t think of any superpowers that can fly, maybe Brother Huo will be able to fly in the future, after all, he can spray fire."

Dalou frowned at the words: "He can’t spray fire from his butt."

Lv Chang: ...

"This way this way~" Flying in the sky, KIKI spotted a large shopping center, with apartment buildings above and a large commercial plaza below, where many zombies stood motionlessly, constantly sniffing for the scent of prey.

Hearing KIKI’s shout, Lv Chang decisively turned the steering wheel, driving the vehicle directly off the road shoulder into the plaza, charging straight in.

His driving skills were good, quickly spotting a mall entrance with fewer zombies, then pressing the gas pedal hard, crashing into several zombies before quickly smashing through the glass door to get inside.

The off-road vehicle then stopped, and the group immediately got out, firing bursts of gunfire to start clearing the zombies inside.

Buzz!

KIKI landed in front of the mall entrance, raising her hand to unleash a shock wave that blew away all the zombies gathering around, then she grabbed several wrecked cars in the plaza with no further words and moved them to block the entrance.

There weren’t many zombies inside either, so the group began shooting and searching the shops.

Inside the mall, there were decayed and stinking bodies everywhere, with flies buzzing around densely, making it appear rather dark due to the lack of lights.

Everyone turned on the flashlights equipped by Lin Xian, advancing with guns in their hands.

Whenever they saw a larger shop, they split into two groups to search for items separately.

Lv Chang was quite clever, pulling an empty shopping cart from a supermarket entrance and following behind KIKI, while KIKI used telekinesis to lift usable items directly onto the cart.

KIKI was enjoying herself; since she got into Lin Xian’s vehicle, she hadn’t gone out to search for supplies like this.

"Hey, clothes of this brand, nice, these hanging ones are still new~"

"Deodorant, well, doesn’t anyone want this stuff?"

"Hey, Lv Chang, quick, see if those shampoo bottles are empty..."

KIKI spotted some unbroken ceramic tableware in a daily necessities store and hurriedly called out: "Big guy, don’t break the ceramic dinnerware behind you, take it back, those plates made by Lin Xian are hard to use."

Lin Xian’s mechanical superpower, making machines was alright, but for these simple utensils, he could only use metal to create a prototype, which was usable and durable but lacked any aesthetic appeal and couldn’t be considered ’practical’, so the Infinity vehicle was lacking in basic daily supplies.

Things like ceramic tableware were something the Survivor Caravan wouldn’t consider, as everyone sought durability and resistance to damage during the escape, though Lin Xian had advised KIKI to find stainless steel trays for tableware if possible, yet KIKI obviously had her own ideas.

"Hmm~?"

At this moment, Lv Chang, who was carrying goods, suddenly noticed a special surveillance camera with a red light over a corridor in the mall.

He shone his flashlight on the camera, wondering: "How is there electricity, is there still someone here?"

"Could it be solar-powered, auto-charging?" Another team member came over.

Just as he finished speaking, the camera suddenly emitted a burst of noisy static, followed by a man’s voice.

"Who are you?! Get out of this mall, I’ll give you 10 minutes, or you’ll be eaten by zombies!"
