The Lou Siblings

"Sister Chen, how did you bring the train over?" KIKI asked, her eyes wide with surprise as she got into the car. Ever since she and Lin Xian had entered this mist-shrouded area, they found that the wireless signal here seemed to be completely blocked by an invisible hand, cutting off all contact with the outside world, including Chen Sixuan.

Chen Sixuan, in a flurry, took out a first-aid kit and handed it to Lou Shasha, her voice tinged with urgency, "Here, tend to your wounds first."

"Thank you, Sister," Lou Shasha said, glancing at Lin Xian and KIKI. Knowing that Chen Sixuan and Lin Xian were likely together, she thanked them, "So you were the ones driving the big train..."

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian, her expression apologetic.

"Last night, I discovered this train leaving from track 3 of Beiwan Station. I thought something was off because that branch line wasn't on any maps or records. I guessed it might be a special military line, and you were probably heading there too. Plus, I couldn't reach you, so..."

Before leaving, Lin Xian had told Chen Sixuan that the electric locomotive had reserve power. Seeing the train in the thick fog carrying over a dozen gunmen, Chen Sixuan had a premonition that Lin Xian might be in trouble. So, she made a decisive move and drove the "Infinite" from Beiwan Station, following the switch that Tang Hai's train had opened, onto this military branch line. She hadn't expected to block Tang Hai's escape route.

Ugh... Uwah!

At this moment, a small wave of zombies that had been following behind appeared in the outpost and on the platform. However, there was no other movement. Hundreds of innocent survivors were already dead, and these monsters were now just wandering around.

Without the Mist Spider, the "Infinite" was temporarily out of major danger. KIKI, hearing Chen Sixuan's words, couldn't help but exclaim, "That's smart, Sister Chen! You've been a huge help this time."

Chen Sixuan's eyes swept towards Lin Xian upon hearing this, and she saw him smile with relief.

"Yes, well done!"

Hearing Lin Xian's words, Chen Sixuan's anxious heart finally settled. She had been worried that Lin Xian would blame her for starting the train, and now she felt a little pleased.

"Wow, that guy Tang is really ruthless! He actually wanted to use all of us survivors as live bait to lure the monsters away in the fog so he could escape!"

KIKI crossed her arms, looking indignant. "Good thing I'm smart and saw through his scheme."

"You saw through it?" Lin Xian looked at her speechlessly.

"Okay, okay, you're smart too."

"..."

After a brief exchange, Lin Xian's gaze fell on Lou Ye. Although Lou Ye looked somewhat weak, his injuries didn't seem life-threatening. Moreover, as an ability user, his flesh and blood recovered much faster than ordinary people.

"What are your plans now?"

Lou Ye looked out the window, trying to find their pickup truck, but there wasn't even a shadow of it.

Shasha carefully bandaged her brother's shoulder with gauze. Hearing the question, she looked at Lin Xian and said pleadingly, "Brother Lin, could your train give us a ride? Once my brother is healed, we'll find a car..."

"I don't think it's necessary."

Lin Xian said seriously, "You two siblings can get in my car. From now on, you'll be with me. We'll face hardships together, and our chances of survival will be greater."

Lou Shasha's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Really!?"

"Hey!"

At this moment, KIKI, who was beside them, became unhappy. She looked at Lin Xian indignantly, "You bad guy! You readily agreed to let others on the car, but you were so mean to me and even kicked me off. What's that supposed to mean?"

Lin Xian snorted.

"You brought that on yourself..."

"I, I, I..." The matter of secretly eating in the car was clearly not going to be let go by Lin Xian. KIKI was furious, but then Lin Xian said, "Shasha and her brother saved us. I'm letting them on the car. Don't you agree?"

"Of course, I agree." KIKI rolled her eyes at him and sat on the sofa, crossing her legs and folding her arms. "But you're the boss, so I'll definitely listen to you."

Chen Sixuan stood to the side, looking pleased to hear that two more people were joining the train.

After all, there was strength in numbers. It was indeed too risky before, with only Lin Xian going out to search for supplies and her guarding the car.

"Thank you."

At this moment, Lou Ye, who had been speaking very little, suddenly spoke. He looked at Lin Xian with deep gratitude in his eyes.

Lin Xian nodded. He actually wanted to recruit some teammates. The Lou siblings were good people, and they had saved his and KIKI's lives. Moreover, Lou Ye was an ability user and a strongman, so Lin Xian felt reassured letting him on board.

Chen Sixuan said, "What do we do now?"

Lin Xian looked out the window and sighed, "All the supplies Tang Hai scavenged are in that car. We've picked up a windfall. We'll drag it away later."

"Oh, right!"

KIKI suddenly realized and clapped her hands. "Then we're rich! And there are also things left by many teams down there. Oh, and the information equipment in the command room. Oh, and that close-in weapon system..."

Lin Xian was speechless.

"You're thinking too much. The feeding and power systems connected to that close-in weapon system weigh tens of tons, if not hundreds. Do you have a crane to move it? And that magazine of ammunition, thousands of rounds, all fired in tens of seconds. Without bullets and no supplies, are you expecting to find 30mm tungsten core armor-piercing rounds on the road?"

Honestly, Lin Xian also wanted to absorb that close-in weapon system, but he truly had no energy to spare right now. By the time he recovered, it might take even longer than dealing with the generator set.

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

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

"Uh... that seems to be the case..." KIKI smacked her lips. "But the optoelectronic sight and phased array radar on it can be removed. Combined with the driving radar at the front of the car, we can build a small radar and sight system, right?"

Lin Xian frowned and looked at her strangely, thinking, This is quite good...

"Good idea!" he agreed.

"I'll help too." Hearing that they were going to clean up the battlefield, Lou Ye stood up immediately, disregarding his injuries.

"Me too." Shasha patted the dust off her face, looking like a little adult. "Oh, right, my brother and I still need to find a car. There are a lot of things up there."

"Alright, everyone be careful." Lin Xian nodded. He glanced outside and then said to Chen Sixuan, "Teacher Chen, come with me to connect the carriages. After we reverse back to Beiwan Station, we'll adjust the carriages."

Meanwhile, he picked up several guns seized from Tang Hai and handed them to Lou Ye and Shasha. "We're not in a hurry tonight, let's take more. We can leave before dawn."

It wasn't that Lin Xian was greedy. To absorb the large generator unit and simultaneously connect and repair the close-in weapon system, Lin Xian had nearly exhausted his stamina. He couldn't even use his Ice Shield when fighting Feng Yuming earlier. If he didn't get some rest, he might not even have the strength to stand up.

Besides, this place had already been cleared once, so there shouldn't be any more big monsters appearing. He might as well thoroughly loot this military base.

What surprised Lin Xian the most was that Tang Hai had brought several flatbed trailers, loading up the jeeps, off-road vehicles, and Qian Yu's armored car that they had scavenged. He estimated there were at least dozens of guns and ammunition, large and small, giving them considerable firepower now.
