Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 255 - 228 Survival Test_2

[Mr. Lin, please rest assured, if you refuse this experiment, we will immediately escort you and your teammates out of the test site.]

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian fell silent.

Judging from the other’s tone, it indeed didn’t sound like coercion, but a transaction. If he didn’t participate in this baffling experiment, he would have no way to save Sha Sha and Brother Huo.

"If I accept, can you ensure their safety?"

[The treatment outlook is very optimistic.]

"Alright, I accept."

Lin Xian had no better choice, but if it was indeed as the other party said, that Brother Huo and Sha Sha were currently receiving treatment, then he could at least breathe a little easier for now.

[Mr. Lin, your first test is to die before the biochemical body kills you, escape the Qingshui Town test site, within 30 minutes.]

[The experiment begins, good luck.]

"Wait..."

Whizz!

Before Lin Xian could inquire about some specific details, a gigantic mechanical sound reverberated from the sky above, and he instantly felt the surroundings grow chilly, with a rust-like bloody wind blowing by.

"Alright then."

Lin Xian thought to himself darkly, facing the current situation, he could only take it one step at a time.

Swoosh~ Swoosh~

At this moment, Lin Xian could only hear his heartbeat and breathing. He shone his flashlight into the pitch-dark door, the white light piercing the darkness, creating a sense of solitary terror.

Tightening the electric knife in hand, Lin Xian activated the Collision Volume Perception System of his Power Armor to enhance his protection.

[Collision Volume Perception System activated]

Outside was pitch-black, and Lin Xian felt a chill on his back. He shone his flashlight into the distance, unable to see the edge. In that darkness, it seemed there were many unknown presences slowly approaching the school building.

Lin Xian’s face darkened, he could only retreat into the only building to search for clues. As the electric light shone, the corridors on both sides were incredibly deep, with no end in sight. The doors to the nearby classrooms were almost all open, desks toppled and scattered. Every corner seemed identical, the only difference being, there were no corpses, nor zombies.

Thud thud thud, Lin Xian went directly up the stairs to the second floor, following the classroom where there was light.

Upon reaching the second-floor corridor, he found the lit room right beside the stairs, the dim light seeping through the window, giving an illusion of the scene turning black and white.

The door to the room was ajar. Shining light inside, Lin Xian discovered it was a storage room, not a classroom. The floor was clean and tidy, completely devoid of the chaos seen in other classrooms.

His heart tightened, cautiously entering. The beam of the flashlight swept through, and suddenly, Lin Xian’s hair stood on end.

Because in the middle of this storage room was a pile of white-clothed mannequins, at a glance, they almost looked like a group of people standing there.

In this room, an old-style incandescent light still glowed weakly, exactly what Lin Xian saw from downstairs.

This was completely different from what Lin Xian expected; he thought it might be some kind of monitoring room’s light or a safety exit.

But this light existed in such an inexplicable storage room, leaving people scratching their heads. Staring at the pile of mannequins, Lin Xian felt an inexplicable, eerie sensation.

"Does this room have anything special, why is the light on?"

In an apocalyptic town, having a light is inherently strange, and it’s hard not to notice.

Lin Xian calmed his urgent heart slightly, believing there must be some hidden secret here.

Since there’s light, there must be a circuit...

Lin Xian knew this was a huge experiment site, so there must be professional experimental equipment control. His thinking was simple, he could use his mechanical superpower to explore some clues and then unlock them forcefully.

Lin Xian walked to the wall and started using the Mechanical Heart’s scan to search for mechanical structures.

At this moment, the lights in the room suddenly flickered, and then, went out!

The entire storage room suddenly plunged into darkness, leaving only Lin Xian’s beam of flashlight.

This sudden situation made him tense up, crackling~

At this point, a subtle sound arose in the darkness, sounding like some kind of joint dislocation.

Lin Xian immediately shone towards the pile of mannequins, but when the white beam shone over, there was nothing unusual, so he widened the beam, looking into the corners of the storage room.

This was when Lin Xian realized the door he had just come through was now closed. Sensing something was wrong, he walked over and twisted it a few times, finding the door locked.

"Playing this game?"

Click!

The Mechanical Heart started up directly, and the door lock was forcibly opened by him!

At the moment the door opened, a white child mannequin suddenly appeared at the doorway. Lin Xian’s eyes immediately tensed, and he brought the electric knife horizontally in front of him.

The white mannequin remained motionless. Apart from its eerie appearance, this mannequin was no different from those in typical stores.

Click-clack~

The subtle sound of joints clicked once again, and Lin Xian quickly turned his head, shining his flashlight in that direction. In the next instant, a chill ran down his spine, sending shivers across his scalp.

The mannequins that were originally placed in the middle of the storeroom,

At this moment,

Had all stood behind him!

At this point, the air seemed to freeze.

Lin Xian’s flashlight beam fell on these white mannequins, and a strange atmosphere surged infinitely. His eyes focused intensely as he directly aimed a Wind Gun at the nearest white mannequin.

Bang!

The mannequin’s plastic head immediately exploded, its features mangled, revealing the metal framework inside, yet the mannequin remained motionless.

"What on earth is this, a zombie? A human ghost??"

Lin Xian’s gaze swept over the group of mannequins. He knew there was definitely something wrong with these things, but he didn’t know what the problem was.

So, he directly fired several shots with the Wind Gun, swoosh! swoosh! swoosh!

Blasting the mannequins in front of him into scattered pieces, turning them into piles of fragments.

Crash~

In an instant, the storeroom was filled with the sound of explosions. These white mannequins, standing still with smiles on their faces, had their heads blasted apart by Lin Xian one after the other, or their necks broken, or their faces destroyed, with a large number of fragments falling to the ground, and the sounds echoed in the room and hallway.

Just as Lin Xian dealt with these white mannequins, from a dark spot where his light didn’t reach, a short child mannequin suddenly twisted its joints and crawled up.

[Moving target approaching]

The reminder sound of the Power Armor had just rung out when Lin Xian suddenly saw a pale face appearing in the shadow on the side, the mannequin’s mouth suddenly opening, revealing a massive mouth full of sharp teeth!

Swish!

Lin Xian only felt his nerves jolt, and the Black Gun in his other hand directly thrust forward reflexively; the gunpoint rested against the mannequin’s chest, preventing it from biting through his neck, forcing him to stagger backward a few steps.

"What the heck!?" freёnovelkiss.com

Lin Xian realized what was happening, pressed the butt of the gun to the ground to halt the mannequin’s charge, then his right palm flashed with electric light.

Bzzt~

The electric arc flickered, directly blasting into the mannequin’s mouth, only to hear a crackling sound of sparks flashing, and a burnt smell wafted out. Immediately afterward, the mannequin attacking him suddenly stopped moving and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian frowned, calmed his nerves, hurriedly grabbed the flashlight, and shone it into the mannequin’s mouth, discovering that the mannequin’s mouth was actually some kind of mechanical structure!

"A robot?"

Lin Xian looked puzzled, immediately reached out to touch it, the Mechanical Scan swept over, and sure enough, he discovered it was a magnetically controlled passive robot, lacking any power source, but rather a serially controlled mechanical mannequin.

"Using robots to test me, quite the setup..."

Click, click

At this moment, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from the hallway outside.

Intermittent, gradually approaching in the darkness.

Lin Xian stood up directly, knowing that surely something strange was coming, so he walked over, closed the door, and immediately created a heap of steel frames to completely seal the storeroom door. Then he produced a high-powered illuminating light, electric bursts flickering in his hand, and the white light directly illuminated the entire room.

"There’s definitely something in this room."

Lin Xian didn’t want to waste time. The testing ground only gave him 30 minutes, he had to leave quickly, so he extended the Mechanical Heart along the wall to perform scanning. There was lighting in this room; he was sure to find some circuitry or controller or the like.

Creak~

At this time, outside the door, the sound of nails scratching the door began to be heard, it sounded very slow.

The scratching sound echoed in the empty hallway and room, unbelievably eerie.
