Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 48 - 44: Lou Family Siblings (4th Release, Requesting Monthly Votes)

Chapter 48: Chapter 44: Lou Family Siblings (4th Release, Requesting Monthly Votes)

"Sister Chen, how did you manage to drive the train here?" After getting on board, KIKI was visibly surprised and asked eagerly. Ever since she and Lin Xian entered this fog-covered area, they found that the wireless signal seemed to be completely blocked by an invisible hand, completely cutting off communication with the outside world, including with Chen Sixuan.

At this moment, Chen Sixuan briskly took out a medical kit and handed it to Lou Shasha, with a tone of urgency, "Here, treat the wounds first."

"Thank you, Sister." Lou Shasha then looked at Lin Xian and KIKI, realizing that Chen Sixuan and Lin Xian must be together, and gratefully said, "So it was you guys driving the big train..."

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian, her expression slightly apologetic,

"Last night I noticed a train departing from North Bay Station on the Track 3 spur, and it seemed off because that spur isn’t on any maps or records. I guessed it must be a military line, and since I couldn’t contact any of you, I decided..."

Before leaving, Lin Xian had told Chen Sixuan that the electric locomotive had backup energy to use. Seeing the train in the thick fog carrying a dozen gunmen, she anticipated that Lin Xian might run into trouble, so she made a quick decision to drive the ’Infinity’ along the switch track laid by Tang Hai’s train into that military spur, coincidentally blocking Tang Hai’s retreat.

Uh oh... Aaaah!

At this moment, a small wave of zombies had emerged at the watchpost and platform, but now everything else had quieted down; hundreds of innocent survivors were already dead, and now these monsters were just roaming around.

Without the Fog Spider, the ’Infinity’ wasn’t in great danger for the time being. Upon hearing Chen Sixuan’s words, KIKI couldn’t help but exclaim, "Smart move, Sister Chen, you really helped out a lot this time."

Hearing this, Chen Sixuan glanced at Lin Xian, who smiled with relief,

"Yes, well done!"

Hearing Lin Xian’s words, Chen Sixuan finally let the tension go, relieved. She was worried that starting the train might have caused Lin Xian to scold her, and now she couldn’t help feeling a bit smug inside.

"Wow, that Tang really is ruthless, thinking of using all of us survivors as bait to draw the monsters away in the fog so he could escape!"

KIKI crossed her arms, looking quite indignant, "Luckily this young lady is clever and saw right through his plot."

"Was it you who figured it out?" Lin Xian looked at her speechlessly,

"Alright, alright, you’re smart too."

"..."

After some light conversation, Lin Xian’s gaze shifted to Lou Ye, who looked a bit pale but didn’t seem critically injured, and being a superpower user himself, his healing was much faster than a normal person.

"What’s the plan now?"

Lou Ye looked out the window trying to spot their pickup truck, but couldn’t see even a ghost of it.

Sha Sha carefully wrapped her brother’s shoulder with gauze. Hearing this, she looked at Lin Xian with a pleading tone, "Brother Lin, can your train take us for a while? After my brother’s wound is better, we’ll find another car..."

"I don’t think that’s necessary."

Lin Xian seriously said, "You siblings just get on my train, from now on we’ll face difficulties together, it’ll increase our chances of survival."

Lou Shasha’s eyes lit up immediately, "Really!?"

"Hey!"

At this moment, KIKI, standing aside, was displeased. She puffed up at Lin Xian, "You bad guy, when others want to get on the train, you agree right away, but you’re harsh to me, even wanting to kick me off the train. What do you mean by that?"

Lin Xian snorted.

"You brought that on yourself..."

"I... I... I..." The incident of eating secretly in the car was bound to be a sticking point with Lin Xian. KIKI, in frustration, saw Lin Xian say, "Sha Sha and the others have saved us, I let them get on the bus, are you unwilling?"

"Of course, I’m willing." KIKI rolled her eyes at him and sat on the couch with her legs crossed and arms folded, "But you’re the boss, I definitely have to listen to you."

Chen Sixuan stood by, and her face showed some joy upon hearing that two more people were joining the train.

After all, more people meant more strength. Like before, when only Lin Xian went out to search for resources and she alone watched the car, it was indeed still too risky.

"Thank you."

At this moment, the usually quiet Lou Ye suddenly spoke. He looked at Lin Xian with deep gratitude in his eyes.

Lin Xian nodded. Actually, he also wanted to recruit some teammates. The Lou siblings were nice people, they had saved him and KIKI’s lives, and Lou Ye was also a superpower user with great strength. Letting him on the bus, Lin Xian still felt at ease.

Chen Sixuan asked, "So what do we do now?"

Lin Xian looked out the window and took a long breath, "All the materials scavenged by Tang Hai are on that car, it’s all ready-made for us, we’ll just tow it away later."

"Right!"

KIKI then realized, clapping her hands, "Then we’re set to make a fortune, and there’s still a lot of stuff left by other convoys down there. Right, and there’s the information equipment in the combat room, and right, right, and that close-in weapon system..."

Lin Xian was quite embarrassed

"You’re thinking too much. The close-in weapon system is connected to an ammunition and power supply system weighing hundreds if not dozens of tons. Do you have a crane to move it? And the ammunition belts in that depot get used up in seconds, there are thousands of rounds, no bullets, no supplies, are you hoping to find 30 mm tungsten core armor-piercing bullets on the road?"

To be honest, Lin Xian also wanted to assimilate that close-in weapon system, but now he really didn’t have the energy for it, and it would likely take more time than the generator set.

Fortunately, he had dealt with the generator, and during the close-in weapon system subsystem, he had already obtained a complete 1130 holographic blueprint through scanning!

With this, as long as he had materials later, he could directly fabricate one on the train.

"Uh... maybe you’re right..." KIKI smacked her lips, "But the optical-electronic aiming and phased array radar on top can be disassembled. Combined with the train’s radar, can we create a small radar sighting system?"

Lin Xian frowned slightly, looked at her strangely, thinking this might work...

"Good idea!" he agreed.

"I’ll help too," Lou Ye heard about preparing to clear the battlefield and despite his injuries, was the first to stand up.

"Me too." Sha Sha patted the dust on her face, acting all grown-up, "Right, and my brother and I still need to go look for a car, there’s a lot of stuff on it."

"Okay, everyone be careful." Lin Xian nodded, he glanced outside and then said to Chen Sixuan, "Teacher Chen, come with me to connect the carriages, and after we head back to Beiwan Station, we’ll adjust the compartments."

Meanwhile, he picked up several guns confiscated from Tang Hai’s men and handed them to Lou Ye and Sha Sha, "We are not rushing tonight, we’ll take more, no need to wait until dawn to leave."

It was not that Lin Xian was greedy, but for assimilating that large generator set and also connecting and repairing the close-in weapon system, Lin Xian had almost depleted his physical strength, during his confrontation with Feng Yuming he couldn’t even use Ice Shield, if he didn’t rest, he might not even have the strength to stand.

Moreover, this place had already been cleared once, there likely wouldn’t be any more large monsters emerging, so they might as well thoroughly scour this military base.

What surprised Lin Xian most was Tang Hai had brought several flatbed trailers, loaded the scavenged jeeps and off-road vehicles, and Qian Yu’s armored car onto them. Of the numerous large and small guns and ammunition he estimated there were at least dozens, suddenly giving them quite a bit of firepower.
