Chapter 325: Carriage Interior Construction
"Why, acquaintance?"
Qian Dele, who had just returned from leading the team, walked onto the platform with a handheld hair dryer in his hand, drying his sweat. He led Hu Lushou and a group of people to sweep through several strongholds of the Tulong Society, and reaped a lot of rewards.
Lin Xian nodded: "An old friend from before, but it's a bit strange that he appears here."
After saying that, he looked at Hu Lushou who was walking behind him. Hu Lushou was also walking over with Sun Chang and a large group of people, looking excited.
According to what Lao Mo said just now, they were also sucked into the No. 5 Star Abyss along with the Silent City, and then appeared in this western Gobi Desert. The situation is weird.
"Oh my, Captain Lin, you don't know, that bone-changing dragon is actually a living loach. The things hidden in the cave are more than ten of my regiments. Hehe, we have picked up a big treasure this time." Hu Lushou said with a smile on his face.
On the other side, Chen Sixuan, Ning Jing and Shi Diyuan, who had finished their inventory, also gathered around.
"Red Eagle has quite a lot of assets. This guy has left quite a few people in the base, at least 70 or 80." Ning Jing said sternly, "It seems like he has a backup plan, and he's not defending against us."
"I'm on guard against my peers. It's the same here. It took a little effort." Qian Dele shrugged: "Tsk, what iron alliance? It's a big joke to want a group of bandits to work together closely."
Chen Sixuan also explained the situation of the Sand Scorpion Gang at this time. After saying that there was a luxurious palace in the air-raid shelter that kept more than a dozen "favored concubines", everyone looked at them in silence.
In fact, Lin Xian had seen a lot of such situations after the apocalypse. At the beginning, in Jiang City, Liu Wei from the Oasis Team was a ready-made example. He had just gained superpowers, and immediately recruited soldiers, took wives and concubines, and started the chaotic carnival of human nature after the rules were broken. It was just that this guy was unlucky to meet Lin Xian just after leaving Jiang City...
But even so, everyone was still extremely surprised after hearing about the old scorpion's situation.
"Hey, this bastard, I heard he's quite powerful, why didn't he die in a woman's belly." Shi Diyuan snorted, "Fuck these bandits, I'll kill them all, it would be a great mercy for me."
As he said this, he looked at Lin Xian and said with great approval: "It's still Brother Lin's way of relieving anger. Didn't we rescue the girls? I'll tell them about this later so that they can also vent their anger!"
Lin Xian heard this and said in a deep voice: "We brought back dozens or even hundreds of people. What should we do with them?"
"Let's find out the situation of these people first." Ning Jing said at this time: "Collect some information by the way, and then we will discuss it in the evening."
Lin Xian nodded, this was exactly what he meant.
Hu Lushou stood aside, rubbing his hands and said, "Hey, hey, captains, our convoys have been following us all the way into the no-man's land. Feel free to call on us if you have any mission."
"Follow me if you can, but I have something to say first." Shi Diyuan crossed his arms, looked at Hu Lushou and said, "Follow my instructions in all actions. Stop when I tell you to stop, walk when I tell you to walk, and close the windows and lights quickly, otherwise..."
"Don't worry!" Hu Lushou grinned and patted his chest, "We are all in the same boat now that we have entered the no-man's land. We will definitely not fall behind!"
"Okay, then you guys go back and prepare." Steve Yuan said to him.
The smile on Hu Lushou's face froze when he heard this. He thought to himself, they had just counted the spoils from the bandits' lair and were preparing to divide the spoils. What's the point of asking him to go back? As he spoke, he looked at Lin Xian with a bitter face, and his eyes seemed to say: Boss, I have already sold the two pieces of goods. Now I am one of them, and I have put in some effort to clear out the lair, so you should give me something in return.
Lin Xian couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Hu Lushou's expression, so he said directly: "Let's talk about the harvest first..."
"Oh! Okay!" When Hu Lushou heard Lin Xian's words, his eyes lit up and he immediately became energetic.
Led by Chen Sixuan, Qian Dele, and Ning Jing, a team cleared out a total of 8 strongholds including the Sand Scorpion Gang, the Crimson Vulture Group, and the Earth Dragon Society and brought back a large amount of supplies. Together with those cleared out by the three convoys that attacked the city in the morning, the supplies now formed a small hill on the open space outside the Aksai platform.
Among them, there were 1,126 first-grade blood sperms and 94 second-grade blood sperms.
Various canned fish, meat, beans, fruits, vegetables, as well as biscuits, chocolate and dehydrated foods filled several large trucks, with a total weight of more than ten tons. There was also a lot of honey, sugar, salt, oil and other supplies.
Then there were the weapons and equipment, including thousands of automatic rifles of various types, more than twenty arc pulse cannons, more than a hundred rocket launchers, hundreds of drones, as well as light and heavy machine guns, mortars, air mines, vehicle-mounted artillery, missiles, flamethrowers, grenades, sniper rifles, shotguns, modified harpoons, poison gas bombs, and even three old 155mm military self-propelled howitzers and a self-propelled rocket launcher vehicle without ammunition, as well as a large number of various types of explosives, fuel, napalm bombs and other miscellaneous things.
Apart from those strangely modified killing weapons, most of them are brand new federal standard weapons, which are obviously a grade higher than those of ordinary survivors. This may be one of the reasons why the sand bandits can be so arrogant in the western Gobi.
In addition, the bottled water or usable fresh water collected from various bases added up to less than 5 tons. Excluding bottles, buckets, etc., Lin Xian estimated that it was only more than 4 tons.
According to the average daily drinking water intake of an adult of 1,000 milliliters, this combined train and the several convoys in Aksai, with more than 5,000 people, would only have enough water for a day...
Of course, in a place like this, 1000 ml a day is already a luxury. From the perspective of saving lives alone, the minimum is 300 ml a day, and this is when people do not take any other actions. But facing the darkness and the ever-present crisis, this is simply impossible. If you drink 500 ml, it will only be enough for two days at most.
Even so, Lin Xian has not yet calculated the problem of water consumption for trains and water for cooling nuclear reactors.
However, this supplement has saved lives. The team still has some spare capacity. As long as they can successfully cross the no-man's land and reach Quancheng in two or three days, the situation may be much better.
In addition to these material harvests, there were also more than 120 prisoners captured by the sand bandits, including the dozen or so "favored concubines" of Lao Xie. Lin Xian took a quick look and found that these women were all silent. It was not known whether it was a stress reaction from being imprisoned for too long, or they just couldn't believe that they were saved. After all, they had begun to treat themselves as "objects", and it was nothing more than kidnapping one group of people from another.
Only after they were covered with clothes, the chains around their necks were untied, and they were given food and water did some of them begin to sob with tears in their eyes, while other women who had already become numb ate the food and water in silence.
The distribution of these supplies was different from the previous one in Yijin. In this battle with the sand bandits, all the teams contributed manpower, and every team was short of water resources, so Linxian discussed with each team and divided the food and water equally according to the number of people.
"I don't want the weapons. If there are any convoys that want my share, they can exchange them with me for water."
At this time, Monica, who had rested comfortably for the whole afternoon, came over surrounded by the umbrella boys and spoke directly.
"Also... those dozen women, if there's nothing wrong with them after checking, I'll take them."
Hearing this, Qian Dele was the first to be surprised. He immediately looked at Monica inexplicably: "Are you kidding me? You can accept women?"
"Why can't I take them in?" Monica crossed her arms and said, "They may be cowardly, numb, or have lost their personality and self-esteem, and only have the instinctive rationality to survive. But once such people have the strength, they will not be soft-hearted when killing people, and I will keep them away from men."
Lin Xian was slightly stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that Monica wanted to use this group of women to neutralize the situation of her team being dominated by men but Lin Xian found that he had thought too simply and too vulgarly.
Monica actually wanted to form a female team, and she wanted to separate it from her male teammates. Lin Xian could see that the group of brothers behind her had just heard that Monica wanted to recruit these dozen women, and their eyes turned into helplessness as if they were falling into an ice cave...
This woman is simply a devil. With the conditions in the closed compartment of the Queen Mo, it would be fine to have an invisible and sexy queen in this doomsday loneliness, but adding more than a dozen beautiful women, all separated, wouldn't her male teammates be suffocated to death?
After hearing this, not only Lin Xian, but the rest of the team looked at Monica with strange eyes, as if they couldn't see through this woman.
"Let's get back to the point. I don't need weapons for now. If any convoys are short of weapons, please give me some."
Lin Xian broke the silence at this time. There were two green plant carriages on his train, so the demand for water was also huge.
Lin Xian's Infinite Fleet and Monica's Queen Mo, both fleets were very well-equipped, and the weapons in their hands were more advanced than each other. Moreover, for Lin Xian, there was no need to scan and manufacture those weapons, so he simply asked for more water.
There is another convoy, the Fu Lu Shou convoy. Boss Hu has a lot of wealth, and all of his men are equipped with high-end goods. Sun Chang's high-end mechanical arm alone is worth as much as a set of Phantom Wolf-class armor, which shows that Hu Lu Shou is willing to spend a lot of money on his men. He did not ask for weapons or food, but just some water and some blood essence.
"I can change!" As soon as the words fell, a team of drivers stepped forward.
Soon, the material distribution discussion was completed and the Aksai bandit suppression plan officially ended.
Lin Xian, Longshan No. 1, JOker Fleet, Queen Mo and Hu Lushou's fleet took away 70% of the blood essence, and the rest was distributed to other people according to the fleet units.
Infinity was given 150 first-level blood sperms, 15 second-level blood sperms, some canned food, and 300 liters of water. Although this amount of water was not much for 180 people to drink, it temporarily solved the urgent problem.
Including the 10 second-level blood essences that Hu Lushou gave to Lin Xian, Lin Xian now has 191 first-level blood essences, 25 second-level blood essences and one third-level blood essence. If these blood essences can be found in the Phoenix Society or the Federation organization, they can be exchanged for a lot of supplies.
The time came to 17:30.
The convoys that had completed the distribution of supplies were driving at full speed to carry the supplies to their own convoys. As dark approached, everyone had experienced the horrific scene of last night, and all the personnel responsible for repairing and preparing the trains began to speed up their actions unconsciously.
After completing the rearrangement of the train carriages, the Infinity returned to the sequence of the joint train, with Longshan No. 1 still leading the way, followed by the Infinity, Queen Mo, the Joker convoy, and the convoys in Aksai city also gathered around the Aksai platform, forming a convoy camp, waiting for nightfall, and ready to advance into the no-man's land with the joint train at any time.
On the Infinity train, the triumphant people looked at the new train layout and began to help with the internal preparations with excitement and business.
The living areas of the three carriages that originally occupied Shuqin's place have now been moved to one carriage, which is not too crowded because it was originally too wide. There were less than 10 people in one carriage, but now 26 people live in one carriage. Except for Shuqin, the living areas of others are still two people in one compartment.
Only Xiaoyuan felt a little complicated. She had now moved to carriage No. 4 and was responsible for taking care of the green plants in the two carriages with Ding Junyi. She was reluctant to separate from her sisters and live alone, but she was also excited in her heart because Lin Xian had assigned her an important task. Although it was just to manage a garden, she thought in her heart that this was a manifestation of Captain Lin's trust in her!
From carriage 9 to carriage 18, there were busy figures at this time. Men and women were in high spirits, setting up their new shelters. Families were arranged in the same compartment with a door that could be closed. It was like a small safe house, and many personal belongings could be placed up and down the compartment.
In carriages No. 10 and No. 11, Chen Sixuan, Li Yi, Miao Lu and others were busy working efficiently. The main residents here were children like Duoduo, as well as single women from Li Yi's original team and some family groups. Overall, there were more women and children. Several carriages were filled with chatter and laughter, and one could hear the joy of everyone.
There is an ammunition train carriage and a weapons station carriage between carriages 11 and 14. Carriage 14 is the carriage for young girls such as Luo Luo and Xiao Min. It has only 16 people, which is relatively small. After they finished their work, Miao Lu and Xiao Yuan helped them arrange their living area.
"The sunshade cannot be opened casually. It is under the unified control of the forest team. Of course, it is generally open during the day."
"The toilet is working fine, but we can't take a shower for the time being. We are in the Gobi Desert and we are not allowed to take a shower with water for the next few days."
"When you have nothing to do, you can walk around in the planting carriage, but you can't touch the flowers and plants. The air there is very good and it's suitable for relaxing. We usually treat it as a small garden..."
Miao Lu and Xiao Yuan quickly became familiar with the group of girls and began to introduce them to the situation inside the car.
To the back, Dalou, Lu Chang and Luo Yang were arranging the accommodation of carriages 15 to 18. There were seventy or eighty people here, and except for a dozen families with women, they were all men. The atmosphere was quite noisy. These people were quick and worked hard.
After packing up his safe house, the sturdy old Zhou patted the armored wall of the carriage and said excitedly: "This train is more comfortable than living in the car. The compartment shelter made by Captain Lin is spacious and comfortable, and the glass is bulletproof. It's amazing!"
"Yeah, it's just like a moving city, so we don't have to worry about the bumps!"
"Yes, it's so comfortable!"
"Captain Lin is amazing. He built such a safe train. We can all feel more at ease in the future."
"We have more people now, and there is a medical cabin in the car, so we don't have to worry about getting hurt when we fight those monsters in the future!"
"Well, you still have to be careful if it falls off. The head can't be reattached if it falls off." Lu Chang, who was helping, couldn't help but say something.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The men burst into laughter. At this time, Sasha walked through the corridor with a swagger. A big man looked at the little girl and couldn't help but said, "Brother Lou, this is your sister, why are you running behind here?"
"My Sally is behind here!" Sasha glanced at everyone proudly, and then said, "If we encounter monsters, I will be ready to go at any time, so you better wear your pants!"
After saying that, she hummed a little tune and walked past everyone's strange looks.
Dalou smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh... don't look at my sister because she's small, she's better than me at driving a mecha to kill monsters."
When these words were spoken, all the big men were stunned. They didn't expect that a little girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old could be so brave. In their original caravan, the children were hiding in the car or helping out within their ability, but this little girl was actually rushing in front of these big men to kill the monsters. Whose general is she?
At this time, Lin Xian was sitting on the ground in the No. 13 military train carriage, making a fully automatic bullet punching machine. This carriage had no windows and was completely enclosed and protected by high-strength steel armor. On both sides were densely packed weapon racks with various firearms mounted on them, ranging from automatic rifles to shotguns, Gatling guns, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, flamethrowers, arc pulse guns, light machine guns, etc. Bullets of various calibers were also stacked in boxes.
To obtain guns and bullets here, you need the consent of Dalou and Shuqin. At the same time, these two people will also train the team members in firearms and physical skills. As long as you are suitable and skilled, you can use any weapon you want. Even if you want to learn how to operate mechas and aircraft, you can also find Shasha.
At this time, Liang Lei, under the leadership of KIKI, is familiar with the pipeline and circuit structure in the car. Later, the engineering department in the car will be handed over to him. He will lead a group of team members with mechanical maintenance skills to maintain and manage the train, and there will be a PX-05 robot as an assistant. After taking charge of such tasks, Lin Xian no longer has to run around because of a broken pipeline or a leak somewhere.
After Chen Sixuan took Li Yi and Miao Lu to complete the inventory of supplies in the entire train, she took more than 20 women who would be responsible for the train's internal affairs in the future to familiarize themselves with the situation in the Infinity, the use of supplies, the functional areas of different carriages, etc., and divided the sanitation and housekeeping areas of different train carriages into different areas. For example, the meals will be arranged by Li Yi in the future, while the medical aspects will be managed by Miao Lu, who is a nursing major, the full-effect medical cabin and various medical supplies on the body of the car.
At the same time, Miao Lu and Xiao Yuan are also responsible for helping Ding Junyi monitor the growth of everyone's superpowers and physical functions.
With a bang, a manufacturing light curtain appeared in carriage No. 13, and a large amount of materials kept flying out. The prototype of this large-scale industrial equipment finally began to take shape.
As long as this thing is manufactured and a PX-05 robot is arranged for control and maintenance, Lin Xian only needs to take out the bullet materials converted from the decomposed space, and then he can automatically stamp and reload them. Although it is impossible to solve the problem in one go, 90% of the problem has been solved. Now there are more people on the car, with at least 120 combat personnel alone, plus multiple 1130s. By then, the amount of bullets consumed in just one battle will be huge.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Lin decided to make this thing before it gets dark.
The captives are currently being housed on Longshan No. 1. While they are receiving rescue, Ning Jing is also arranging people to investigate the situation of these people and then compile this information.
Lin Xian is also preparing to release information about the situation of Star Abyss No. 5 at the same time, and he can then ask about the specific situation of Hu Lushou and Lao Mo.
In the weapon station of carriage No. 12, Luo Yang and Xiao Bai live alone. They have turned the computer in their car into a simple information center, connecting to the sentry and radar system of Infinity. From now on, KIKI doesn't have to guard the situation alone at night, and both sides can respond at the same time.
As time came to 18:30 and it was getting closer to dark, the carriage gradually became quieter. Chen Sixuan, who had arranged everything, came to carriage No. 13 and said to Lin Xian, who was still busy.
"You haven't slept for two days and two nights. You're going into no man's land tomorrow. You should get some rest."
"That's what I was planning too." Lin Xian glanced at her, then looked at his watch, and said solemnly, "It's going to be dark soon. If nothing goes wrong tonight, Brother Shi and I will discuss the intelligence that Lao Mo and the kidnapped people have gathered, and then we'll go to bed."
Chen Sixuan nodded: "I have already arranged for the food to be distributed. Because I am worried about the situation last night, I will not arrange hot food for the time being."
Lin Xian saw that Chen Sixuan's eyes looked a little strange, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, are you worried about something?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Sixuan came to Lin Xian's side and sat on the ground like him. She said with a twinkling look in her eyes, "Maybe my old problem has come back again. I went to the Sand Scorpion Gang today and saw what those people did. It made me feel a little uncomfortable."
Lin Xian looked at her: "More uncomfortable than killing someone?"
Chen Sixuan shook her head and said in a clear voice: "Of course the dark night is the most terrifying for us. It means death and the extinction of civilization. But this group of sand bandits may not be able to stop a wave of snow monsters from Xilan City in terms of combat power, but what they can do is thousands of times more terrifying than those monsters."
Hearing this, Lin Xian sneered and said, "Yes, the closer we are to each other, the more we know how to cause greater harm to each other. Do you know what that old scorpion said to us before he died?"
Chen Sixuan looked at him.
"He said that he knew he was no match for our joint team, but they could give us a gift in the dark night..."
Chen Sixuan's expression was stern when she heard this: "KIKI called those Adventists traitors, but these people are even worse than traitors."
Beep, beep.
The reminder sound of the watch rang out. Lin Xian listened to the whistling sound of the wind and sand outside the car and said solemnly, "Now we are gradually beginning to unravel the secrets of the night, knowing the dark mark and how to enter the silent state. If there is really someone who can establish a connection with the night and help the night to exterminate human civilization, then perhaps..."
“The greatest sorrow of mankind.”
