Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 131 - 126: Night Invasion

PS: In the previous Chapter, the speed of the high-altitude corridor electromagnetic acceleration was incorrectly written as 500KM, adjusted to 1000KM, and has been corrected.

Squeak~

The "Infinity" slowly stopped, Lin Xian opened the car door, and the snowmobile approached, Sha Qin seemed much more haggard than a few days ago, with dry skin and disheveled hair. She immediately hung her helmet on the motorcycle when she saw Lin Xian stopping the car, with an urgent look on her face.

"I didn’t expect it to be your car, looks like I called the right person."

Lin Xian, curious, asked: "Sha Qin? Where are the people from your fleet?"

"They are over there!" Sha Qin pointed in the direction of the distant freight station. "Right now, we have four teams gathered over there, ready to enter the city together, but a lot has also happened, you guys should be careful too."

"What happened?" Lin Xian asked.

"It’s complicated. Are you planning to stop at the freight station up ahead? If it’s convenient, our teams can join forces to push through to the airport. There are too many zombies over there, and there’s fog, with some Abnormal Bodies appearing day and night in the city, a lot of teams have suffered heavy losses."

"Alright, then let’s talk at the station."

Lin Xian decisively agreed and, looking at the bleak and cold industrial city ahead, felt a faint unease.

According to the radio, this here is a completely Dead City, all survivors and official organizations are essentially gathered at the Airport One area. However, Lin Xian didn’t want to charge straight through; having companions could provide some support at least.

Clang, clang...

The train started moving, merging into the double-track, and Sha Qin put her helmet back on, driving the snowmobile swiftly along.

Soon, the train entered a large freight platform. Around it were many abandoned trains, and lying on the tracks were numerous bodies of zombies, seemingly having been cleared once through already by the train, swiftly crushing over them and moving into a spacious area. Lin Xian then saw rows of dozens of mixed parking survivor vehicles next to the track, many of which were heavy trucks.

From the exterior armor and blood stains on the cars outside, it was evident that these teams had fought fiercely to survive; those who are alive are either extremely lucky or indeed bold and skilled, their strength also having evolved considerably.

Seeing the train roll in, many vigilant personnel raised their firearms, but upon seeing Sha Qin leading, they eventually lowered their weapons.

The train slowly advanced, Sasha KIKI and Chen Sixuan, among others, looked through the train’s window towards the outside teams. The survivors from those teams also cast their gazes upon this fully armed heavy train.

"It’s another train..."

"Wow, the armor on this train is too exaggerated, like it’s specially made from a munitions factory, nothing like our tin plating."

"It looks like it came straight off a production line as a Doomsday Train, could it be produced by the Federation?"

"Who knows, but it’s really cool indeed!"

As many survivors began whispering among themselves, Lin Xian opened the car door and got off after the train stopped. A few leader-like people approached not far away.

Among them, Lin Xian recognized two people, besides Sha Qin, there was also a middle-aged man named Xu Jin, indicating that these two teams must have teamed up and headed towards Yu Bei City.

"Let me introduce, Captain Lin, the leader of the Unlimited Fleet." Shu Qin hurriedly added, "Lao Xu, you should know him," pointing to another older man with slightly graying hair, she introduced, "Mo Chengzhi, we all call him Lao Mo, the leader of the Iron Power Team, used to be a mechanical engineer at Kehua Heavy Industry."

"Tsk tsk tsk!!"

The elder referred to as Lao Mo, thin-faced, clearly in his fifties or sixties, yet dressed in punk-style Harley leather jackets and tight pants, and wearing a white-and-gray checked scarf and sunglasses, looked somewhat stylish. He directly walked towards the front of the ’Infinity’ Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive, lifted his sunglasses with gleaming eyes, "How beautiful, how beautiful! I can’t believe we can still see such treasure after the apocalypse. Hey, young man, where did you find this? You even got it running, it’s a first-generation power turbine, impressive!"

Lin Xian could tell this old man was an expert and responded directly, "Yes, it took some effort..."

Mo Chengzhi nodded and patted the steel front of the vehicle, saying, "Amazing indeed, but terrain limitations are a big problem, ah. Since yesterday we’ve seen several trains pass, including the Federation Phoenix Association and the Iron Guard Brigade’s intercontinental, as well as a train called the Silver Star from the Finger Group family, an Eternal Level Doomsday Train, coming from Yang City. Now that’s a real Eternal level! With 118 carriages, carrying more than 3,000 people, two micro core engines, 4 groups of railguns, and another is the Dragon Mountain City’s intercontinental train Dragon Mountain No.1, a collective effort of the entire city transformed, that one is impressive as well, two-story carriage building, almost turned into a moving city, absolutely a behemoth..."

"But the issue is still terrain, even if these trains are equipped with enough manpower and track-laying devices, they are still restricted, unlike us who modified a heavy truck to run freely." His expression was passionate but mixed with a touch of dilemma, clearly someone who has spent a lifetime in mechanical engineering.

"Planes are freer, what use are they?" Xu Jin sighed, "Just got the news, the Sky City - Qingluan completely crashed into the Pacific Ocean yesterday, no idea how many died, sigh... One can escape from the Star Abyss but not from the night..."

He continued, "Each has its own advantages, though driving is free, but now with the snowstorm, if there isn’t a heavy snowplow truck, it’s basically waiting to die. Didn’t the team with glasses get buried like that?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately asked, "Glasses? The one who traded Blood Essence with me last time?" He remembered this person, his fleet had just encountered a major battle at that time, and this man with glasses looked desolate, his team still had many people, and he couldn’t believe they were gone so soon.

"Yes."

"Did they encounter an Abnormal attack?"

"No." next to them, Shu Qin said with a slightly grave expression, "They got trapped in the snowstorm, but it was the night invasion that caused someone in the team to mutate, and so accidents happened."

Night invasion...

Lin Xian realized, could it be the night contagion that Ding Junyi talked about?

"Night invasion... is there any defense against it?" Lin Xian asked.

"No." Lao Mo walked past Lin Xian, waved his hand, and spoke with a hoarse voice, "Anyone who’s injured, feeling down, or inherently weak-willed, you never know when they will be devoured by this evil, turning into something neither human nor ghost."

Shu Qin nodded, looked at Lin Xian, and said, "So now in our team, anyone who gets injured is isolated in a separate vehicle to avoid a chain reaction."

Lin Xian was inwardly shocked, recalling the invisible Fallen Demon when KIKI was severely injured and the train intrusion by the Mysterious Radio, it was indeed full of dangers.

But now that he had the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube, does it mean such situations would no longer occur on his train?

If so, his ’Infinity’ would really become a safehouse beyond codes!!!

"Where is Jiang Yun?" Lin Xian remembered the Wind Chasing Team, seeing Jiang Yun as a complex character, and couldn’t help asking upon meeting Shu Qin and Xu Jin.

"That night, they went towards Ping Lake, but I remember his team was supposed to enter Yu Bei City."

"Don’t you know?" Xu Jin looked at Lin Xian with a surprised expression, "That night there was a zombie outbreak, didn’t it affect you?"

Hearing this, Lin Xian’s heart sank, he opened his mouth, "You encountered it too?!"
