Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 73 - 69 Hunting Trap

Capacitors at the substation are mainly used to balance three-phase voltage, to prevent line loss and equipment damage caused by voltage imbalance, which is highly useful for Lin Xian.

The "Infinity" will have a large-scale electricity demand; installing capacitors can improve the power factor of the circuit, reduce the loss of reactive power, and thus increase the efficiency of the power grid.

For instance, setting up high-power weapons or changing the drive mode will require this thing.

Moreover, now he can also obtain a large amount of capacitor materials such as metalized polypropylene, liquid dielectric, aluminum foil, etc., by devouring, which are the basic materials required for the high-energy capacitors in the blueprint of the GK03 electric knife.

"Lin Xian... how do we dismantle these things?"

Chen Sixuan followed Lin Xian into the substation and became somewhat confused upon seeing a row of large and orderly metal equipment.

"It’s simple; Teacher Chen, help me keep watch."

Lin Xian turned around, opened the dump truck’s bed, climbed up, and started operating Mechanical Heart. Numerous materials slowly flew out, and a small cantilever crane quickly took shape.

"Ah, okay."

Chen Sixuan immediately took up her gun, took a deep breath, and turned off the safety.

Although the substation was very quiet at this moment, there was no telling if a zombie might suddenly spring out from some corner.

She kept psyching herself up; as a teammate, she also had the responsibility to protect Lin Xian. With a gun in hand, ordinary zombies shouldn’t pose much of a threat.

After about 20 minutes, Lin Xian had built a temporary vehicle-mounted crane.

He then jumped down from the truck, created mechanical tools with both hands, and began to dismantle the capacitors’ fixing screws.

"Lin Xian, your hands..."

Chen Sixuan noticed that the back of Lin Xian’s hands were reddened and guessed that they must have been frostbitten while assembling armor during the blizzard overnight.

"It’s nothing."

Lin Xian tossed one end of the steel cable to Chen Sixuan, "Come, help me out with this."

The two worked for more than an hour and finally hoisted a set of 110KV parallel capacitors onto the truck. Although it was a makeshift job and both were amateurs, the process went fairly smoothly thanks to his Mechanical superpower.

Hum!

The dump truck started again, boldly breaking through the perimeter wall, crushing and rolling over the howling zombies, and headed back the way it had come.

"When I came over, I noticed that Yuchi Pedestrian Street had an open terrain, with several streets connected, so later on, after loading the stuff, I’ll come over with Building, and we’ll make some trap preparations in advance, see if we can catch something..."

Lin Xian planned to take advantage of the daylight to scout the terrain and lay some traps. After returning, they would first finish installing the armored car top and the Ice-breaking Shield on the train; then by the second half of the night, he’d return to proactively search for that nocturnal terror.

If this was a few days earlier, Chen Sixuan would definitely think that the Lin Xian suggesting this was crazy.

However, now she understood Lin Xian’s intentions but still said with concern, "Then, before it gets dark, how about Sha Sha and I ride a bike along the railroad towards the front intersection to scout? If there are any changes in the plan, we’ll be prepared."

Bang bang bang~

The dump truck plowed ahead, and Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan with a serious expression,

"Do you know how to ride?"

"Sha Sha does; I can go with her. It’s more convenient to have two people looking out for each other."

Lin Xian is responsible for outfitting the train, and since Building is tall and strong he needs help. Sha Sha and Chen Sixuan, two nimble and agile girls, seem to be a good fit for some scouting work.

Hearing this, Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan with a hint of surprise and smiled.

"Okay, but you and Sha Sha be extra careful, and if something’s not right, just run."

"I know," Chen Sixuan took a deep breath seriously, "We’re going to scout; we definitely won’t stay around if there’s trouble."

Lin Xian wanted to actively search for the peculiarities in the darkness tonight, but the plan was full of risks; no one knew exactly what lurked in the night.

So, to be cautious, Infinity was ready to evacuate at any time. Under these circumstances, it was obviously a wise choice to scout the route of the area ahead in advance.

After facing yesterday’s broken rail incident, Chen Sixuan became even more cautious about these situations.

"Alright, let’s arrange it like that."

Hum~

The dump truck charged onto the platform at Yushan Station. Lin Xian raised his hand and a few shots of Wind Gun took care of several zombies on the platform, then he drove the dump truck onto the flatbed trailer.

Soon after, Building and Sha Sha also returned in the off-road vehicle, the rear seat and the trunk filled with all kinds of strange supplies.

Sha Sha, sitting in the passenger seat, was also holding a big bag of clothes of various colors. As soon as the car stopped, she opened the door excitedly and called out to the two,

"Brother Lin, Sister Chen, look at all the great stuff we found."

Chen Sixuan hurried over to help, while taking things she asked, "Why so many clothes?"

"They’re all new, and there were a lot in the mall." Sha Sha got out of the car and opened the door to the back seat, which was stuffed with various household appliances. Lin Xian glanced at them, mainly TVs, computers, and robot vacuum cleaners—appliances that had little practical use in the flight of refugees.

In the apocalypse, where life is at stake and energy is scarce, these household appliances were obviously not as valuable as water purification equipment and communication devices. freewebnσvel.cøm

In addition to this, Sha Sha and Building also found a microwave, an oven, and a bunch of pots and tableware.

"That’s fine, let’s load them on the vehicle."

Lin Xian had Building unload the motorcycle, then they quickly unloaded the items from the off-road vehicle into carriage number 5.

"Sha Sha, you and Sister Chen take the motorcycle and scout ahead along the railway track. Building and I will head into the city again by car."

Without any complacency, as soon as they returned from scouting, Lin Xian immediately arranged the next steps of the plan and the group set off again.

The time came to 17:50, less than an hour before nightfall.

Lou Shasha strapped on her Artillery, put on a helmet, and, together with Chen Sixuan, rode off the platform on the motorcycle, quickly disappearing into the distance.

Lin Xian then got into Building’s off-road vehicle. "Sha Sha is so young, yet she knows how to ride so well."

Building shrugged, "She learns everything quickly, just like a boy, she likes to tinker with those..."

"Let’s go." Lin Xian smiled. Along the way, it was clear that Sha Sha was the brains of the two.

The off-road vehicle re-entered Yuchi City. This time, Lin Xian and Building did not rush straight into the neighborhood, but stopped from a distance to observe.

"Over there..."

Lin Xian pointed towards a round plaza, "There are more zombies there. Using the concept of Spirit Swinging Value, the index there should be the lowest. But this is all just my speculation. Later, Building, you drive around to lure the zombies away, and I’ll set up a loudspeaker and some lights there."

Then he pointed towards the direction of a few alleys,

"There, and there, and there, I’ll set up more trip chains, animal traps, and nail spikes. Later tonight, you’ll cover me from the lookout platform on that second floor with your gun, and keep the car ready as a getaway."

"Got it, Brother Xian."

Building, who was once a soldier, while not eloquent, had very good combat quality and quickly understood the intentions of Lin Xian.

"These are all contingency plans," Lin Xian said with a somewhat solemn expression, "not all may work. If things go south, we’ll retreat immediately and run back. Sha Sha and the others will be waiting for us at the platform, and then we’ll get in the car and leave."

Lin Xian’s plan was not complicated. It was simply to set up loudspeakers and lights in the open plaza of the Yuchi Pedestrian Street to attract the Abnormal Bodies in the darkness, while he and Building observe from a distance.

If it’s something they could handle, they would try to use the terrain and traps to fight. If they accidentally lured out some terrifying creature, then they would only have the option to flee.

For the sake of the Mysterious Blood Essence, they had to take the risk.

Now that there was no more Dark Radio, even if he wanted to exchange goods again, he couldn’t find the whereabouts of other teams.
