Chapter 310: New Armor (Additional update, please give me a monthly ticket at the end of the month!)
Under the silent night sky, dry tumbleweeds on the Gobi Desert roll in the wind.
After getting away from the extreme cold vortex, the temperature has returned to above 0 degrees, but the temperature difference in the Gobi Desert is very large under the dark night, and the wind and sand are a bit cold.
The large track base laid on the Gobi Desert is elevated by hard rocks, and there are no railway guardrails in this deserted and uninhabited area.
Ding ding ding ding, a crisp sound of shaking rails gradually sounded, the yellow sand around vibrated, and with a flash of dazzling train lights, a black and green heavy armored locomotive came with a violent momentum, and behind it was a long steel dragon winding to the end of the earth.
The lights of more than 500 carriages were all lit up. People were moving in the carriages, some were sitting, some were standing, some were walking, and some were chatting. All of them were survivors of the doomsday and exiles of civilization.
The outside of these carriages were covered with heavy armor, which was full of bullet holes, claw marks, dried blood, and rotten monster remains. The shock absorbers of the steel wheels shook wildly as they rushed past.
September 3, 2069, Apocalypse Day, D-97
The joint train led by Longshan No. 1 and Infinity escaped from the polar night from the Xilan City transfer and Star Abyss No. 5. There are still 3 days left before the Apocalypse Day, which is 100 days away.
In less than a hundred days, 99% of the population of Blue Planet, which had a population of over 10 billion, has been extinct. The 13 annihilation star abysses continue to expand, and the invasion of darkness has transformed humans into zombies and monsters. Blizzards, black rains, and other natural disasters swept the earth, causing the extinction of animals and plants, and human cities were occupied by zombies and monsters. The nine continents and four oceans were desolate. The survivors who had fled for months looked at the Gobi Desert outside the carriage. Some were confused, some were afraid, some were worried, and some remained positive and optimistic, constantly encouraging their teammates.
The Sun followed behind the Joker team and Queen Mo. This temporarily formed train team, like Qian Dele, was not very accustomed to the trains. However, adapting to the vehicles was not a difficult task for this team that had fought their way out of the blizzard.
In the front carriage, the original members of the chasing-Japan convoy, led by Luo Yang, Amin Luoluo, Li Guangwen, Xiaobai and others, gathered in a carriage. This was originally a passenger carriage, and all the seats had been removed and replaced with simple bunk beds.
About thirty men and women were eating and chatting with each other. These young people knew a lot and the atmosphere was lively, but they also didn't know many things, such as cooking.
Everyone simply ate canned food and some biscuits, chocolates, candies, etc., and happily discussed the same topic.
Join Infinity.
"Oh my God, I didn't expect that we would really join Captain Lin's motorcade. That's great." A girl sitting cross-legged on the upper bunk, holding a spoon and a can, exclaimed loudly.
"Captain Lin is really amazing, he actually has mechanical abilities." A talkative boy standing by the window described with great excitement, "Did you see that? The Infinity's armored thief is amazing, just like a mecha, and there's even a G-3 electromagnetic railgun on the vehicle, which is a federal military model, and Captain Lin built it with just one finger!"
"Yeah, yeah, I heard that when we were fighting the bugs, those Gatling guns that Infinity gave us were all made by Captain Lin!"
“Awesome!”
"I will regard this ability as the best in the world!"
"Hey, do you think Captain Lin can rub a nuclear bomb with his hands?"
"Of course, of course. Superpowers can evolve, okay? Maybe Captain Lin can even build a starship in the future!"
"Wow, a starship~"
"Yes, yes, yes. There are also Sister KIKI and Brother Huo from Infinity. One of them is a telekinetic type and the other is a fire type. It's amazing!"
"Li Guangwen, your explosive ability has met its match, you must learn from it carefully."
Li Guangwen smiled unhappily: "Zhou Chaoxian, you are teasing me, how can I compare with these great gods? You can just let me fire some cannons."
Hahahaha...everyone laughed.
Luo Yang, who was sitting on the side eating canned food, also smiled, his eyes full of anticipation and excitement. He and this group of classmates loved to tinker with weapons. His classmates, including him, were either majoring in mechanics, electrical engineering, laser, and power engineering. These people's admiration for Lin Xian was growing day by day, especially after seeing Xilan City's towering Unit-01 fighting against the S-class giant sea urchin, Lin Xian had completely become the mechanical god of war in their hearts!
Luo Yang looked at Luo Luo and Amin beside him, and then asked, "Amin, is your abdominal injury better?"
Amin nodded. "It still hurts a little, but it's much better now. Sister Chen told us not to do any strenuous exercise within 48 hours."
Luo Yang let out a long sigh: "Well, now everyone has power armor, so you should train more and improve yourself. It won't be just the two of you fighting alone in the future."
Luo Luo smiled when he heard this: "But Amin and I work very well together. You forgot that our limit coefficient is 1.7, and the peak index of 600 also exceeds the violent level of 1000. Now with the new armor, we must be even more powerful, don't you think so, Amin?"
Amin nodded unyieldingly: "That's right, from now on we two will be the main fighting force, sisters can fight together and one is worth two!"
Luo Yang nodded in agreement.
"Of course, Captain Lin recognizes your abilities, but..."
As they were talking, the crowd suddenly became noisy. Luo Yang looked up and found that it was Li Yizheng who walked in with a few middle-aged men and women carrying two large soup pots.
"We cooked some broth and let's all have some together." Li Yi was pregnant with a big belly. There was only one dining car on the train. She saw that no one on Luo Yang's side had prepared pots and utensils. She knew that they didn't have any extra hot food, so she cooked two extra pots and sent them to them.
Cooking hot food does not necessarily mean stir-frying a big meal. Luo Yang and his friends are also capable of making a simple soup. The main reason is that they are a group of young people who were used to eating takeout and are now used to eating cold canned food. It is also for the convenience of marching. No one has thought of getting some pots and pans to make fires and cook in the wild. Therefore, when distributing supplies in the permanent warehouse, Luo Yang and his friends only asked for canned food and those simple self-heating foods. They did not take any rice, flour, oil, or meat.
“Wow, it smells so good!”
As soon as the two large pots were brought in, the young people who were used to eating cold canned food immediately smelled a strong meaty aroma. In an instant, they felt that the cold canned food in their hands no longer smelled fragrant.
Seeing this, Luo Yang quickly stood up and said in surprise: "Sister Li, we are already eating."
"I know." Li Yi smiled and looked at the group of young people: "The conditions on the train are much more convenient than when we drive. Seeing that you all eat cold food, I will cook for you. Let's eat more hot food if we can. It will make us energetic after eating!"
"Really? That's great! I want to drink it. Thank you, Mama Li Yi!"
"Thank you so much. Woohoo, I haven't had a cooked meal in a long time."
“So touching~”
"I'll have a bowl too."
When everyone heard what Li Yi said, they immediately gathered around, taking bowls of broth one after another, holding them carefully, and drinking them in one gulp. Suddenly, a feeling of warmth swept through the body, making people feel very satisfied, as if most of the fatigue was dissipated at this moment.
"Why are you being so polite? We have all come this far together, and we will all be a family that depends on each other in the future."
Li Yi and the people around him were busy serving soup while smiling and saying, "You young people don't like to cook hot food, it doesn't matter. There is division of labor in a team. From now on, we will do the laundry, cooking, and cleaning together. Those men over there may not be good at weapons research, but they know more about mechanical equipment. We can all work together then."
"Okay!" Luo Yang smiled happily and happily took a bowl of soup from Li Yi. Seeing Li Yi bringing them food despite her big belly, he felt a little warm in his heart and said, "We will all follow Captain Lin together in the future. The team will get bigger and bigger, and everyone will bring out their own strengths. Our team will definitely be able to survive this doomsday. Don't you agree?"
“Yes!!” the young men and women responded one after another.
For a moment, the carriage where people were originally eating cold canned food suddenly seemed to have entered a big family. A bit of warmth was infused into the steel carriage at the end of the night.
…
On the Infinity side, there was no dinner party like the other teams, because of the busyness of the Zero Element Center and the escape, and in order to be able to replace Lin Xian after dawn, in the master bedroom of carriage No. 1, Chen Sixuan took the time to rest. In the comfortable luxury cabin of the shelter, Chen Sixuan slept soundly. She knew in her heart that as long as Lin Xian was there, she could completely let go of all her defenses and vigilance, and she would not panic even if there was a tide of zombies everywhere outside the car.
Carriage No. 2 is the private space of KIKI and Sasha. Two specially made wraparound sleeping cabins are staggered and alternating. Both of them are sleeping soundly. In the entire carriage No. 2, only the information center is still lit. On the screen, in addition to the radar monitoring system, there is also an analysis program set by KIKI that is constantly running the system data of [Grace].
In carriage No. 3, after Ding Junyi finished the last experimental process, she took back all the experimental instruments, placed the Hell Black Chrysanthemum and Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Cuosuo in place, took a set of clean underwear and went to the bathroom in carriage No. 1 to take a shower. Then she turned off the lights and returned to her lounge, took off her glasses, stripped naked, and lay flat on the bed. She even slept meticulously, because of her work, she had very high requirements for her sleep quality, and she was also the only person on the train who did not have to consider taking turns to rest.
Apart from Lin Xian's arrangements, she maintained her standard habit of going to bed at 9 am and getting up at 7 am before the Apocalypse Day.
However, there is one habit she has changed. In the past, she would always lock the door before going to bed, which would make her feel safe and peaceful. But now, even if the door to the rest room is equipped with a lock, she will not lock it.
For her, it would be useless to lock the door if robbers and strange creatures rushed in. Death was a peaceful thing for her.
But if she locked the door and made it inconvenient for Lin Xian to come in, it would be an unbearable betrayal for her!
So this is a simple logical problem for her. Such a habit can be corrected, because in Ding Junyi's mind, Lin Xian can come in whenever he wants...
Carriage No. 4, after the transformation and with the blessing of Ding Junyi's plant-related abilities, the 30-meter-long carriage has been transformed into a green forest. The neatly arranged aerial vegetable cultivation troughs are full of green grass, spinach, and sprouts with disordered light, water celery, kale, etc. On both sides of the carriage, Lin Xian has planted a row of green ivy and moss walls, maidenhair ferns, etc. for water and oxygen circulation, which are also pleasing to the eye. The whole carriage No. 4 already has the flavor of a green forest.
These plants can not only be used for viewing, but most importantly, they can also play a role in air circulation. After being used by the team members, the pure water in the entire vehicle will go through a circulation mechanism to be provided to the plants for growth. After a second circulation, it can be used for sanitary supply. Then, multiple water purifiers manufactured by Lin Xian will separate and discharge stains and waste, and recycle the water back for drinking relief.
Although it sounds a bit disgusting, it is unavoidable in the end times. Clean water resources that have not been invaded by darkness are in short supply. In fact, according to the filtration standard of the A1 subcritical reverse osmosis water purifier manufactured by Lin Xian, plus the shielding of the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube against the invading force of darkness, the water that the Infinity members drink has always been of first-class pure water standard, and it has little effect on how many times the water has been circulated.
But even so, the drinking water problem faced by Infinity is beginning to put some pressure on it. The snow water in the extreme cold vortex is highly poisonous. Starting from Qingshui Town, Infinity has not replenished fresh water for a long time. With the invasion of black rain and darkness, the concentration of dark invasion in land water resources is becoming increasingly serious. At present, various parts of the world can still solve the problem of basic filtration, but dark invasion is still a big problem.
In carriage No. 5, the building was responsible for rotating in the middle section. As usual, he maintained all the weapons in carriage No. 5, including the new G3-electromagnetic railgun installed by Lin Xian, and the lifting turret.
At this time, Dawu was wiping the machine gun while there was a pot of hot tea on a small table next to him. He would pick up a cup from time to time and take a sip, exhaling and sighing, which helped to relieve the loneliness of keeping watch. Since becoming roommates with Lu Xingchen, drinking tea has become one of Dawu's few hobbies and habits.
Tea is not a scarce commodity in the doomsday. Although it is circulated among survivors, most of it is used to cover up the smell of drinking water. For people like Lu Xingchen to actually use it to taste tea, it is simply a luxury.
Because that means you need to have a safe and clean environment, and have the time and opportunity to taste tea.
While drinking tea in the building, he looked at Lu Xingchen's room from time to time, knowing that this guy must still be studying the gold bracelet. At the same time, he was also thinking about improving his own superpowers. After Xilan City and a series of events, many team members have improved their combat effectiveness, especially after having power armor. The combat effectiveness of the genetically evolved teammates headed by Miao Lu and Lu Chang has been greatly improved, not to mention Shu Qin. Although he and Shu Qin were evenly matched during the superpower test, Shuqin was a genetically evolved person and was born with the advantage of using power armor to multiply her strength.
But Dalou couldn't do that. Firstly, he couldn't put it on. Even if he did, his supernatural power needed to be improved through blood and energy to continuously enhance his combat effectiveness. So Dalou was a little distressed. He was tall and strong, ate a lot and took up a lot of space, and had a 12-year-old sister. Although Sasha was also very hardworking, Dalou always felt that he had to stand up and become Lin Xian's right-hand man to live up to Captain Lin's life-saving grace and care for him and his sister along the way.
Thinking of this, Dalou's eyes narrowed. After wiping the last gun, he started doing physical training again, such as push-ups.
"Add 20 more groups!!"
He shouted in his heart, and at the same time thought of Lu Xingchen's reminder. The next time he fought a wave of monsters, he planned to try not to use gas masks or the like, and directly come into close contact with the black smoke of the monster's corpse. Even if the power of darkness would bring great physical pain, with his ability to endure, he would definitely be able to hold on!
In dining car No. 6, the lights were turned off, but a bright warm light was still on in front of one of the electric stoves. A small iron pot was bubbling with a sweet aroma. Xiaoyuan was standing quietly beside the stove, watching the pear soup boiling in the pot, like a well-behaved daughter-in-law. This was an improved version of pear soup. Because of the supplies obtained from the Yongbei warehouse, Xiaoyuan specially added red dates and wolfberries to the pear soup, which not only promoted the production of body fluids and quenched thirst, but also cleared away heat and reduced fire.
After cooking, she carefully put it in a bowl, opened the lid, and wanted to let it cool down first.
As she waited, she realized that Lin Xian was still busy in carriage No. 12, so she frowned and blew anxiously on the pear soup.
What she didn't know was that Shu Qin, who was in charge of patrol and guard, was standing in the aisle of the dining car, watching this scene with a helpless look on her face.
Many team members can see what Xiaoyuan is thinking, but it doesn't really matter. It is precisely because it is the end of the world that men and women are more likely to develop feelings for each other when they are in danger and suffering together. Shuqin has seen a lot of such things. Even if we don't talk about clichéd love, satisfying physiological needs in the end of the world is a big deal for humans. It helps to release psychological pressure and relieve depression. Even the joyful love between men and women is beneficial to resisting the invasion of darkness.
But Shuqin was a little helpless because Xiaoyuan liked Captain Lin. In fact, many women in the team were interested in Lin Xian. After all, Lin Xian was the captain of the team. Not only was he young, handsome and capable, but he also had the demeanor of a leader and savior. It was hard not to have a good impression of such a person with a sense of belonging. But no matter how much she thought about it, she was the only one who could express it as directly as Xiaoyuan, because everyone knew the relationship between Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan, and he had a beautiful and powerful KIKI as his right-hand man.
She couldn't say much about this matter. There were no restrictions on marriage customs in the doomsday. Shuqin just saw that Lin Xian might not have that kind of feelings for Xiaoyuan, and was worried that she would be unhappy later.
But at this moment, Shuqin looked at Xiaoyuan's expectant look, blowing on the bowl of pear soup over and over again, and could only smile helplessly.
"Yeah, that's right, as long as she is happy."
…
In carriage No. 12, mechanical lights kept flashing, and countless materials were forged and gathered in the air.
Lin Xian sat cross-legged in the corner with a focused expression. In front of him, a silver-black Phantom Wolf-class full-coverage battle armor gradually took shape. Although it was the men's version of the Black Hawk-Silent Hunter, Lin Xian changed the material of the outer armor and used the composite battle armor configuration that had been used to scan the arm of Unit-01, which was also the material of Unit-01.
Therefore, it took a little longer to use than the set given to Teacher Chen, because Lin Xian took into account that he often needed to rush into the monster group, which was different from Teacher Chen's long-range sniping, so he also slightly upgraded the outer armor material of the body.
At the same time, Lin Xian also made two retractable hooks on his shoulders, which are of strong magnetic adsorption type, so that he can use the Thunder Falcon 2000 to lift himself and fly. The power of the two Hall propulsion engines of the Thunder Falcon 2000 will not be a problem to take him out of the air.
Of course, the drawback is that the speed is not very fast, and the power consumption of the unmanned attack aircraft is also relatively large, but this armor also has low-altitude leap thrusters. The combination of the two basically solves his maneuverability problem in flying.
Rub, rub, rub.
With the completion of the last piece of armor, Lin Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he stood up and looked at the full-coverage power armor designed for him, with an extremely agile expression.
"Finally it feels a bit like Iron Man."
After saying that, he could no longer hold back and immediately turned on the power armor. A holographic spectrum automatically lit up on the armor and scanned Lin Xian's face. Then the chest plate in front of the power armor automatically opened. At the same time, the bolts and retainers of the leg armor and various armor units began to automatically "release" and made a hissing mechanical sound, which made people excited.
Lin Xian walked straight in and stood in the fully covered armor.
[Black Hawk - Silent Hunter Armor 01 starts, and performs program self-check]
A cold mechanical female voice sounded.
snort~
The head armor slowly closed, and a light curtain flashed in front of Lin Xian's eyes. A progress bar was introduced, and various subsystems such as movement, defense, radar, situational awareness, and life support appeared one by one in the light curtain interface. Then the armor units on his body began to retract and the bolts were automatically tightened.
In an instant, he felt himself being wrapped by a powerful mechanical creation. The cushioning lining all over his body bound him perfectly. Lin Xian raised his hand, looked at his mechanical arm through the holographic vision, and then slowly clenched it. With the almost zero-delay torque output of the hand power unit, Lin Xian immediately felt a powerful force. It seemed easy for him to crush steel with this palm.
[The system is detecting the driver's vital signs]
[Physical status is good, heart rate...body temperature...]
【Common system activated】
[Current combat system training value: 0]
[Need to go through the motion and actual combat parameters to conduct 'loop' learning to better match the driver's action habits. 】
Lin Xian was in the power armor at this time, his eyes reflecting the light of the power armor's holographic vision. He said excitedly
"There's no need to spend time importing the motion parameters of the TRP power armor. Let this armor learn them again."
Teacher Chen was able to master it in a very short time. The intelligence level of this power armor is still very high. Although it is a full-coverage armor, Lin Xian's feeling at this time is obviously different from that of Unit 01.
Unit 01 has a mass of 10,000 tons and over 4,000 engine muscles. It requires two people to perform neural sympathetic interaction and has the power to lift the heavens and the earth, but its agility is certainly far from that of an individual battle armor. Even compared to Sasha's Sally, there is a huge delay between its movements.
This is unavoidable due to the limitations of the laws of physics, and the advantage of personal armor is that it is as easy to use as an arm, with almost zero reaction delay, just like one's own armor and skin, solving the problem of poor human defense.
Especially for genetically enhanced people, wearing armor is like adding wings to a tiger. Their agility, reaction, strength and even combat experience can be perfectly adapted to the mechanical platform. A powerful set of armor can definitely greatly improve the combat effectiveness of genetically evolved people.
From this point of view, the Phoenix Order's ability assessment index reference for the combat effectiveness of genetically evolved people can only be said to be very basic.
Human technology and machinery, matched with human evolutionary power, can indeed reach a level that matches that of those with super powers to a certain extent. This is one of the reasons why the 90% of survivors without super powers can survive in the dark!
Asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month~!
