Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 218 - 213: Wandering Blue Star

Upon hearing her words, Chen Sixuan, KIKI, the building, Sha Sha, and others all looked at Lin Xian with astonishment. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Lin Xian was also a bit surprised. On the Infinity train, he indeed had limited information about the outside world. As soon as they left Jiang City, they collected a lot of supplies from the Oasis Caravan. Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan had to carry them for over half an hour. Later, at the lookout, they seized Tang Hai’s savings, which he had worked so hard for. Traveling this way while maintaining two meals a day seemed thrifty to him. He didn’t expect other survivors were gnawing on tree bark and eating dried rats...

He looked at Shu Qin. Back then, he repaired the water purifier for Shu Qin, and in exchange, she used a box of canned goods, which was of great value to her. However, Lin Xian didn’t think much of it...

"I thought eating two meals a day was already very little." Lin Xian smiled bitterly at Chen Sixuan, "I didn’t realize how good our living conditions on the Infinity are."

Currently, there is the A1-grade Subcritical Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier and the water circulation system. Plus, the train has the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube, allowing us to drink clean water anytime and even take baths. There are big beds to sleep in, heating, sturdy fortress-like armor for protection, and canned snacks every meal. Looking at it now, it’s practically the life of a deity.

Lin Xian even pondered growing some green vegetables to improve the heavily meaty daily diet...

"Oh my, if this news spreads, everyone would want to board our train." Sha Sha’s eyes widened. "I don’t want to eat dried rats, but if I’m starving, there’s nothing I can do."

Lin Xian nodded, feeling a huge sense of crisis, yet also a significant opportunity.

"Don’t worry, Brother Lin won’t let you eat dried rats."

"I just happen to have a plan." Lin Xian looked at KIKI and said, "You’ve always suggested that I manufacture weapons and machinery to trade with other survivors, haven’t you? Now that we’ve got a radio station, I think it’s time to broadcast to the outside world."

"Are we really going to broadcast to the outside world?" KIKI hugged her knees, looking at Lin Xian. "Aren’t you afraid of drawing attention?"

Previously, when KIKI was gravely injured and unconscious, Lin Xian wanted to find Blood Essence but had no way to contact other survivors. He was forced to set traps and kill Abnormal Bodies in Yuchi City, and barely managed to obtain one Blood Essence, which was captured by the Mysterious Radio. If not for his mechanical power, he wouldn’t have been able to escape from the mysterious frequency. Thinking back, it was still unsettling.

After crossing the high corridor, all the global survivors were migrating. Lin Xian also carefully considered using his mechanical superpower to exchange supplies externally. He dares say that a Grade A Subcritical Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier, exchanged for 5 units of Grade One Blood Essence, would be a great deal.

But, a gentleman’s virtue becomes his liability; although his mechanical superpower is strong, his team used to be small, and he couldn’t actively contact other armed groups. Now, with KIKI, Shu Qin, the building, and Lu Xingchen by his side, all of whom have considerable combat strength, the entire train’s firepower can flip over a large Abnormal Body. Emboldened, he naturally needs to leverage his mechanical superpower advantages to acquire more resources; otherwise, when they enter deep forests, swamps, and deserts without supplies, they’ll have nothing but dried rats to eat despite their superpowers.

"We need to be proactive, and our external broadcast isn’t just to trade supplies but also to gain attention."

Lin Xian said to KIKI, "Wei Kexue gave us an emergency code earlier. We can broadcast externally using the survivor frequency when we arrive at Hengshan Pass. Perhaps we’ll contact someone from the Phoenix Society. Now, the movements of the S-Class Abnormal Body at Palma Prairie are unclear. We may need to stay at Hengshan Pass for a day to observe the situation and avoid it. What do you all think?"

Chen Sixuan nodded, "I’ll follow your lead."

"Captain Lin, you make the arrangements," Shu Qin said with a positive expression.

The other members nodded in agreement. With Lin Xian’s mechanical superpower, they didn’t lack firearms and bullets on the train. Guns outnumbered people, but firearms are vital for surviving among other survivors. Trading them for survival supplies is indeed a wise choice.

"Great!"

KIKI’s eyes sparkled, "How should we phrase our external broadcast?"

"Just keep it low-key," Lin Xian said.

"Low-key..."

KIKI looked at Lin Xian with interest and then picked up the radio mic.

*Cough cough*

"Hello everyone, this is the Unlimited Fleet. We’ll arrive at Hengshan Pass Train Station in 3 hours. Our train has lots of guns, lots of bullets, offers high-grade water purifiers and various mechanical equipment, and provides mechanical repair services. We’ll stop for 1 day and accept various food, snacks, small potato chips, chocolate, drinks, and biscuits in exchange. The more the better! A Starfire 26-style fully automatic tactical rifle with 120 rounds can be exchanged for just one box of biscuits~"

Chen Sixuan frowned and looked at KIKI, "Isn’t this too cheap?"

"Oh, Sister Chen, didn’t you hear that the Fu Lu Shou Team is also selling machinery? If we don’t set a competitive price, how can we compete?" KIKI said with a cheeky smile.

Shu Qin was also a bit surprised and spoke, "I think Captain Chen means, if it’s too cheap, will people even dare to come?"

To Shu Qin, exchanging a box of biscuits for an automatic rifle with 120 rounds was quite a bargain. In this apocalypse, if it’s too cheap, people might become suspicious, and since they’ll only stay for 1 day without a fixed shelter, who knows if they’re a mobile fishing bandit team.

"It’s okay." Lin Xian smiled, seeing Shu Qin’s concern, and said, "This type of automatic rifle isn’t hard to make. Exchanging for one box of biscuits is already pretty good. Exchanging two for one box of canned goods wouldn’t be a problem either. The survivors are having a tough time. Since I can make them, there’s no need to exploit these people."

Hearing this, Shu Qin’s expression slightly stalled, and she looked at Lin Xian with a gaze filled with warmth and admiration. She nodded, "Alright."

Actually, Lin Xian wasn’t simply trying to be some kind-hearted person. It’s just that, for him, ordinary rifles are indeed easy to manufacture, and for those struggling survivors, he feels there’s no need to be some doomsday profiteer.

KIKI, with her legs crossed, excitedly said, "Also, according to my idea, our reputation hasn’t been fully established yet. When ascending the passage, so many survivor fleets regarded Lin Xian as the savior. Even Silver Star, Dragon Mountain One, these mobile cities, including the Phoenix Society, recognized us. Before long, our name might spread across the world, with lots and lots of superpower users and beauties rushing to join your Infinity. You’ll be spoiled for choice, and 1000 train cars won’t be enough!"

The more KIKI spoke, the more excited she got, her eyes bending into crescent moons, "By then, we’ll have a thousand train cars, equipped with star-propulsion engines and electromagnetic railguns, directly flying out of Blue Star, taking along human civilization, accelerating in outer space towards Proxima Centauri, leaving the Solar System’s orbit, aiming at the target, continuously accelerating for 500 years, reaching one-five thousandth of the speed of light, then sliding at one-five thousandth the speed of light for 1300 years, and finally using over 100 years to dock into Proxima Centauri’s orbit, finding a new planet, arriving at a new human home, beginning a new human civilization..."

Lin Xian suddenly stood up, poking the girl’s smooth forehead with his finger, "It’s 2069, and you’re talking about wandering Blue Star here?"

"Ouch!" KIKI clasped her head, gritting her teeth, "Didn’t you say you wanted to soar into the sky?"

"Mmm~" Lu Xingchen, who had been silently sipping tea in the corner, finally spoke like a sage, "A man born between heaven and earth should indeed have such grand ambitions."

The building raised its hand at this moment, seriously saying, "Brother Xian, I... fear heights."

"Oh, silly~ Being in outer space, afraid of falling to the ground?" Sha Sha was quite excited by KIKI’s words and immediately showed disdain upon hearing the building’s words.

"Alright, then let’s strive towards this goal."

Lin Xian checked the time and arranged for everyone, "The day is about to break. Get ready to depart."
