Chapter 467 Harvest
"Everyone, we found a large supermarket's supply warehouse. Although it was messy and had been searched, our judgment was correct. This island has not been 'patronized' by many people."
With the cooperation of her teammates, Monica walked into the warehouse with an upright posture. While reporting to others on the communicator, she looked around the large warehouse.
Ugh!!
Two zombies that looked like mummies suddenly jumped out from the shadows on the side. Monica raised her finger without even turning her head. A sound blade like a scimitar shot out instantly, cutting the two zombies into pieces in the air and spraying them onto the wall.
Then Monica opened the nano-power armor mask, shook her hair, and said to her teammates behind her with a cold face.
"It looks like the people on the island didn't hold out for long."
"Wow~" Sasha came out from behind wearing the firepower armor tailor-made for her by Lin Xian, holding a high-energy pulse cannon as tall as her in her hand. At this time, she saw those storage shelves that were 10 meters high and stretched as far as the eye could see. Even though she had seen big scenes before, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen a supermarket warehouse with so many things."
Building and Ryunosuke also walked in. Looking at the scene before them, Building was also surprised. He said analytically: "They can't escape, and there is no rescue. Even if there are survivors, they won't last long."
Mental stress is more terrifying than zombies. Being on a desperate island, facing the situation of losing all communication, electricity and rescue, it is difficult for ordinary people to resist the power of darkness.
This large warehouse stored everything from food and groceries to supplies and tools, home appliances and entertainment. Although the place was filled with the stench of decay and the ground was littered with looted and carried supplies, and there were many dried corpses that had turned into corpse water, but as the lights came on, several people could still see at a glance that at least 70% of the supplies were still placed on the shelves in their original state and covered with dust.
This is enough to show that no one has set foot here for a long time. It is a dead city with only the living dead.
Otherwise, any survivors who have survived to this day would never let go of such a treasure trove of resources.
The drone quickly shuttled through the shelf aisles, and soon, a large amount of information was returned to Sasha.
"There's so much. There's definitely no fresh food left, but there are still several shelves in the food section that are full. There's so much alcohol, drinks, soda, snacks, cans, wow, so much! These should all be within their expiration dates!!"
Monica looked at the screen and smiled slightly. "The situation of others should be similar to ours. Am I right?"
"Bingo!"
Qian Dele's high-pitched voice rang out from the headset: "We've found something good too!"
At a military base beneath the setting sun, Lü Chang's mecha was rapidly mowing down a group of uniformed zombies. Luo Yang was standing atop a military train covered in waterproof tarpaulin. Qian Dele and Shu Qin approached, and with a swish, the tarpaulin was ripped off. As the massive gray tarpaulin slid down from the roof, a dark green intercontinental-class suspended rail military train appeared within their sight.
Immediately, Shuqin's pupils suddenly shrank, as if she saw something extraordinary.
Even the usually calm Qian Dele was stunned for a few seconds before speaking into the headset.
"Lin Xian, you really need to come and see this."
The military armored train in front of him was twice the size of an ordinary rail train, with unreasonably strong track wheels, a load-bearing suspension with a dizzyingly complex structure, and a body wrapped in heavy special armor... All of this formed a steel base that almost reached the ceiling of the carriage, and this steel fortress carriage stretched all the way to the end of a bunker in the military base. Just by visual observation, there were more than 50 carriages.
The most important thing is not how big or long this train is, but that this military train is almost fully equipped at this moment, with land-based automatic artillery lines, missile launch unit carriages, and even weapon station carriages every few material carriages equipped with anti-aircraft firepower, plasma pulse cannons and other defensive weapons.
In addition to this, there are those "war materials" neatly arranged on the transport carriages and tied with steel cables!
When Lu Chang stood on the roof and took a look, his jaw almost dropped to the ground. In front of him, the heavy TFV600 double-barreled tanks alone were loaded onto 10 transport carriages, with a total of more than 30 tanks!
Further ahead are rows of humanoid military mechas displayed in the mecha hangar, including the Vulcan mecha, the Iron Guard-3 military assault type, the Guard-X assault type, and even the FireWire-MX, known as the "Burning Purgatory".
"There are also armored vehicles, high-altitude drones, and space patrol aircraft?! This... is at least enough to equip a regimental-level unit, right?" Lu Chang was so surprised that he was speechless.
Shu Qin, who was standing below, had a solemn expression on her face. She glanced at the zombie corpses scattered throughout the base and said, "The 974th Defense Regiment of the Federation Interstellar Army, responsible for garrisoning Oahu..."
Chi!
Qian Dele opened the automatic door of the carriage in front of him that was stuck by human bones, stepped forward, pinched his nose and glanced at the interior of the carriage, then fanned the air and said helplessly
"It collapsed due to internal changes. After the Apocalypse, many Interstellar Army units were destroyed in this way. They can only turn their guns on their own people."
Luo Yang flew over from a distance and landed on the roof, holding the mobile terminal and said quickly
"I found out. The last retreat order was at 8:13 PM on June 9th." He raised his head and frowned, "Apocalypse Day, Day 11..."
There was a silence.
“Gone in just 11 days?”
"What a pity! With so many weapons, train fortresses, and plenty of supplies, we only managed to resist for 11 days." Lu Chang sighed.
Qian Dele's expression was cold as he spoke, "The most dangerous thing humanity faces on Apocalypse Day isn't zombies, but the dark invasion that turns people into zombies. Without defense or isolation, even the most powerful equipment is meaningless in this situation. Otherwise, if it's just a few zombies, they won't be worth mentioning under the firepower of the interstellar army."
Shuqin nodded. "That's right. The darkness encroached with the tide of night, leaving nowhere to hide. When we first started fleeing, we didn't even know which of our teammates would suddenly turn into a zombie and bite off our neck. It also happened to be the most desperate time."
"Despair is precisely the trigger for the mutation," Luo Yang added.
"Then..." Lu Chang suddenly patted the roof of the train and said, "They can't drive out such a large train of ammunition. Can we take it away?"
"Of course."
Inside the Sky Train's main bridge, Lin Xian, who had been listening to the reports, was repairing the train's armor while saying, "We can directly connect to the Sky Train's traction unit and tow the Infinity along with it. Wouldn't it be a shame to abandon such a treasure?"
Heavy tanks, military mechas, combat vehicles, drones, and the train's defensive fortresses are simply treasures among treasures for Lin Xian. Picking up such a steel fortress for free is simply the ultimate dream of a survivor. How could he not think of a way to take it away?
Lin Xian was thinking in his mind that in this situation, even if the track was broken, he could use the Sky Train for flying transfer, and KIKI and Ryunosuke could help. If all else failed, he also had the Black Star Forge. A living person couldn't be suffocated to death by urine, so even if he used such equipment as upgrade materials, it would be better than throwing it away.
squeak!
Inside the Hawaii military base, the giant military train's iron wheels were flashing sparks and making sharp noises as it re-entered the track from the derailed state. Then, under Lin Xian's control, it slowly drove into the track station on the east side of Oahu Island. Others along the way were responsible for cleaning up the zombies and human ghosts that were attracted. After towing back the arms train, everyone also took the opportunity to get rid of the dark marks on their bodies.
The setting sun was as red as hot iron. Afterwards, instead of continuing to count the supplies, everyone returned to the Sky Train and waited for night to fall.
Including Lin Xian, no one had expected that their 'settlement' after crossing the super tropical storm would be an abandoned zombie island full of supplies, which allowed them to get a great bargain.
This time, in addition to the supermarket supply warehouse, military train, Teacher Chen and KIKI found by Monica Qian Dele, Ning Jing also discovered a lot of useful things along the way, including a botanical research garden with many rare plants. The seeds survived and exuded greenery in the greenhouse dome on this death island, and there were also many useful medical and daily necessities.
Lin Xian handed all these things directly to Viola and at least a thousand functional robots of his for transportation.
However, at the moment, everyone is waiting for dark. The experiences along the way have made everyone develop a cautious mentality. They have just experienced the Sea Rock Island, the Giant Ocean God, the underwater whirlpool, the volcanic eruption and the super tropical storm. Their nerves are almost tense. No one knows what crisis will appear on this seemingly harmless island with only zombies and ghosts after dark. So at this moment, everyone is wearing power armor and quietly in the main bridge. Some are standing, some are sitting, some are looking at the porthole, and some are staring at the monitoring radar, all waiting for dark without saying a word.
Lin Xian checked the time: 18:42.
According to the estimated distance to the Star Abyss, it should be about the same.
"Double tides, this shouldn't be a simple situation. Could it be another case of hundreds of ghosts wandering around at night like on Haiyan Island?" Chen Sixuan whispered in Lin Xian's ear.
Lin Xian shook his head. "I don't know, but I don't think it's the same as Haiyan Island. The city streets and buildings here are very well preserved, and there are zombies everywhere. It looks... relatively normal."
Buzz!
At this time, a mysterious light flickered in the sky, and a circle of light quickly spread across the sky. Everyone looked out of the porthole at the same time.
"Here I come." Ning Jing clenched her fists. Monica turned from the swivel chair to the window, her arms folded across her chest with a cold expression.
KIKI leaned back in the recliner, tapping the table with his fingers, staring at the radar screen without saying a word.
Buzz!
At the same time, the second ray of mysterious light began to shrink, and at the same time, it quickly swept across the sky like a huge dark wall that covered the sky and the sun.
Night is falling!
Everyone's nerves were tense.
At this moment, the originally scorching beach atmosphere suddenly became chilly, white mist formed on the windows, and some strange howling sounds were heard in the dark streets in the distance. Apart from that, the only sound was the rustling and moving sounds of zombies outside the rail station.
5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes...
As time passed, the atmosphere in the quiet main bridge began to become a little strange, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
"It seems... nothing happened?" Qian Dele couldn't help but speak first.
"Our marks have been cleared. Although we have detected the presence of strange creatures in the city, they don't seem to pose any threat." Ning Jing also said.
"Ah~"
KIKI stretched out her body and said softly, "It seems that nothing is wrong. That's great. I can rest up tonight. I have a new place to live. I'm so happy~"
"Yeah, the room has a big shower, a massage chair, a refrigerator and a big bed." Sasha looked excited, her eyes shining as she spoke.
Lin Xian also breathed a sigh of relief. Monica looked back at him, nodded at him, then turned around and walked away from the bridge.
"Let's go back and rest." Lin Xian said at this time. Everyone looked relaxed and comfortable, and began to leave the bridge one after another.
Chen Sixuan walked over to Lin Xian and said, "Let me take charge."
"No need." Lin Xian shook his head and patted Chen Sixuan on the shoulder: "Teacher Chen, you go and rest. Viola will take over the full duty. Such a large interstellar train depends on her. I will also be on guard for a while."
"Don't you want to rest?" Chen Sixuan asked.
"I got enough sleep last night," Lin Xian said. "It's safe tonight, and we have plenty of time. I'll deal with that train first and swallow something else. We'll build bridges later, and drones will need materials, so I'll prepare some more."
The cars in the city and the abandoned ships in the port were all Lin Xian's devouring materials. There were even large wide-body passenger planes in the Oahu airport, which Lin Xian had never encountered before.
He planned to use this time to deal with the military train first and then slowly devour it. Now his Mechanical Heart was only more than 10,000 source points away from upgrading. Lin Xian didn't want to waste this rare opportunity. After upgrading to level 7, he could not only gain new skills, but also open the R&D center to start deciphering the blueprint of the 'Planet Titan' that had always curious him. How could he tolerate this?
By the way, he also had to study the black gear he got from Chen Yanxiu. There were so many things he wanted to do that Lin Xian had no intention of sleeping at all.
Chen Sixuan nodded and glanced at him silently: "Is this the end of the Spark Project?"
Lin Xian smiled slightly upon hearing this. "It's not that simple, but the initial goal has been achieved. If nothing unexpected happens, the Phoenix Society's other lines have made considerable progress, and the Adventists have fully mobilized. So now the Phoenix Society wants to accomplish two things: first, to learn the information about the Adventists' communication with the Dark Civilization, and second, to crack the Sky Curtain. I'm sure the Adventists also know this."
Chen Sixuan took a deep breath. "You're the Sword Wielder, so they'll probably still focus their forces on you. So I'm thinking it might be a good idea for us to join forces with the Phoenix Society. If they absolutely must take action, we can turn our passive position into an active one."
Lin Xian was a little stunned, then reached out and pulled Chen Sixuan into his arms. He sighed and said, "I know you're worried about me. The so-called Sword Bearer is just a cover, like a candle lit in the darkness. The dark mark attracts strange entities. This Sword Bearer and the Spark Project will attract the 'strange entities' among humans. If the dark civilization can establish some kind of connection and control through humans, perhaps we can too."
Chen Sixuan frowned slightly, raised her head from Lin Xian's arms and looked at him: "Is this Professor Ye's idea?"
Lin Xian nodded, and then his expression became solemn again.
"However, during my communication with Chu Yan, I heard some bad news. The darkness seems to have undergone different changes."
"What?"
“I don’t know the details yet.”
Lin Xian shook his head and said solemnly, "I just saw that the dark tide on the land began..."
"scarlet."
