Chapter 1358 - 524: Gray Snow_2
He massaged his temples.Lin Xian prepared to stand up, having communicated with the commanders of various armies and convoys. He needed a part of the convoy to separate for him to devour the machinery, and to be safe, the higher the level of his Mechanical Heart, the better.
The more skills he had, the more maneuvers he could perform.
In fact, there was no need for much arrangement. Inside the Joint Train, if Lin Xian did not personally perform repairs and manufacturing, many of the vehicles and trains were beyond the repair capabilities of the engineers in transit. Thus, many carriages that could not bear the Joint Train’s towing force were designated for Lin Xian.
The resources and personnel inside these carriages were also moved out in advance.
Lin Xian covered his body with Nanometer Battle Armor, opened the car door, and flew onto the roof. Letting the computer display the carriages marked behind, he began to fly backward. At each marked point, he quickly used Mechanical Devouring to dismantle them, then reconnected the front and rear sections.
During this process, many unfamiliar survivors stood at the carriage connections, watching the Mechanical Superpower User turn a more than thirty-meter-long carriage into ash in an instant, all showing expressions of shock, especially the children who exclaimed with wide-open mouths.
On the local network of the Century Train, posts about Lin Xian kept increasing, filled with keywords like "Mechanical Superpower," "Mechanical Ascension," "Creation," "Savior."
Lin Xian wasn’t concerned about these things now. His Mechanical Superpower was no longer secret, whether for survivors or the Foundation.
[Devouring successful, Mechanical Source Point +50]
[Devouring successful, Mechanical Source Point +60]
...
Devouring all the way, repairing all the way, his Mechanical Manufacturing proficiency and Devouring proficiency increased simultaneously. With the acquisition of materials, "Iron Man" and "Dragon Girl" added new production batches in the Black Star Forge.
Until the next day morning, Lin Xian, almost relying on his strength alone, completed a systematic devouring and repair reformation of this unprecedentedly long train, solving mechanical problems for numerous convoys.
In the post-apocalyptic world, his industrial creation ability was akin to the power of God. After complete repairs, the train’s defensive power was greatly enhanced, bringing a great sense of security to the survivors inside.
Although it was daytime, it was indistinguishable from night. The thick scarlet fog seemed to shroud the atmosphere of Blue Star, entering an apocalypse winter that never dawns.
On a train carriage, a surviving little girl looked out at the misty thick fog through the barred window. Along the way, only some vague shadows of dry trees or the outlines of building ruins could be seen, besides those bizarrely shaped zombies running madly, only to be smashed by the defensive weapons when getting close to the train.
Such a scene seemed to numb the little girl. At this time, she raised her head, and her expression slightly changed.
A piece of gray snow fell, sticking to the window. She stretched her finger to touch it, and the gray snow quickly melted.
"It’s snowing..." she said.
The adults in the carriage began to look out the window, with many standing up.
Outside the window, ashen snowflakes, like smoke and ashes, kept drifting down from the thick fog, getting denser and making the originally gray and white ground lose its color.
"The endless winter has arrived!"
The ground shrouded in scarlet for over three months had reached its lowest temperature in human history, as extreme cold and ash snow arrived, the temperature hit a new low.
Inside each carriage, the heating devices increased their power, with nuclear power energy running at full load.
After finishing everything, Lin Xian returned to the Infinity and took a thorough hot shower.
Under the protection of the Dark Energy Synchronization Device, food and water resources were temporarily preserved, while the nuclear-powered locomotives guaranteed the internal electricity usage of this train stretching over a hundred kilometers.
Outside the window, the scarlet mist surged like a sea of blood, while the wheels of the Infinity rolled over the tracks, emitting a dull roar.
In Carriage 2, the indicator lights on the servers flashed rhythmically in the dark, while KIKI levitated with crossed legs in midair, her fingertips sliding across a holographic screen, overlaying the scarlet storm’s monitoring data with the track map sent from Silent City.
Sha Sha crunched an energy bar curled up in a gaming chair, suddenly pointing at a pop-up window in the screen corner: "Look! Someone’s trading canned food for your combat video on the local network!" KIKI flicked away a snack wrapper without lifting her head: "How many likes?"
In Carriage 3, with Director Ding absent, Xiao Yuan and Miao Lu tended to the plant carriage.
Carriage 5 carried the fragrance of Longjing tea, as Brother Huo sat cross-legged in front of a tea table, white mist rising as boiling water splashed into a purple clay teapot.
Da Lou inspected the power device of his Black Dragon Battle Armor: "That Ryuji... he left without even saying goodbye."
"Although a man of few words, he was a good friend." Lu Xingchen sipped tea silently, saying softly.
"That’s true; he loved to talk.""
Da Lou walked over and had a cup of tea: "Next time we see him, we’ll have another drink and play chess together."
In the dining car, Sun Yuzhen and Li Yi were cooking with a group of people, while the children had been transferred to the Sky Dome Train, but someone still needed to cook for the core crew of the Infinity, and in the carriages behind, Shu Qin and others were still preparing weapons.
As soon as Lin Xian returned to the bedroom of Carriage 1, a figure rushed into his arms.
Chen Sixuan spoke with a voice full of heartache: "I knew you wouldn’t die, I knew you’d come!"
The repressed longing exploded at this moment; Lin Xian hugged her tightly.
"You’ve worked hard, Teacher Chen."
"It’s all worth it."
Lin Xian chuckled upon hearing her words, feeling warmth in his heart. He gently kissed Chen Sixuan’s forehead, saying, "Speaking of which, it feels just like yesterday when we were on the Pacific Ocean."
He exhaled a sigh of relief. "Rest assured, we will definitely reach the Polar, as long as we rendezvous with the main force in Ushuaia, everything will be easier."
Upon hearing this, Chen Sixuan raised her head, looking at him with complex emotions. After a long time, she suddenly reprimanded angrily.
"Worrying about this, worrying about that, aren’t you worrying too much? You’re the Mechanical Heart, not a robot!"
"Huh?"
Lin Xian didn’t react, but then he saw Chen Sixuan pointing at the switch of his Power Armor behind his ear, disabling his Power Armor, and then grabbed his arm with one hand, pulling him inside.
"From now on, don’t worry about anything!"
Lin Xian didn’t expect Chen Sixuan to possess such strength, comparable to Ning Jing, the Powerful Queen. He asked inexplicably, "Then what do I do?"
"Make love!"
Chen Sixuan bit her silver teeth angrily, her face flush with blush quickly fading, yet she pushed Lin Xian onto the bed fiercely and unzipped her Inner Liner Suit.
Whoa~
The next moment, a snow-white body, with several battle scars yet appearing more powerful and harmonious after many encounters, presented itself before Lin Xian’s eyes. Chen Sixuan discarded her shyness, straddling Lin Xian head-on, her beautiful face close to his, looking intensely into his eyes.
"What do you think, not convinced?"
Not convinced? It was surprising to hear this coming from Chen Sixuan. Lin Xian didn’t know how she came up with this phrase; it sounded awkward, yet it was tinged with a stubbornness foreign to intimacy.
Lin Xian smiled immediately, pulling this perfect battle goddess into his embrace, searching for that blush with a resolute kiss.
Everyone praised the Savior, everyone anticipated the Sword Holder, everyone waited for him to create miracles.
Except for Chen Sixuan, she only wished he would put everything aside, using the passion unique to a woman, to soothe his scars and fatigue!
Instantly, Carriage 1’s bedroom resembled a sailboat amidst stormy waves, braving them head-on!
The hundred days’ tide of longing, surged and erupted!
Furious waves were surging, snow-white waves were billowing, the goddess roared, roaring a triumphant climax!
"Hmm... uh~"
"Seems there’s no more condoms," he said.
"Ah... no need!" she replied.
"Really no need?" he asked, sweating profusely.
"No need anymore," she replied.
"Why?"
"No reason, you’re too slow, Student Lin!"
"Uh... Teacher Chen, why are you so wild?"
"Stop talking nonsense; you’re penalized with two more homework assignments!"
"It’s daytime now."
"Uh-huh, I don’t care!"
"Then I will work hard!"
In the room, heat melted away the cold, and the iron-clad, steel windows of the Infinity barred the apocalyptic winter outside, creating a warm mobile city.
