"Makeup room?"
KIKI frowned at him: "What does a big guy like you need a makeup room for?"
"Heh."
Lu Xingchen stood with his hands behind his back, glancing sideways at her: "You wouldn’t understand, being a god, naturally I must pay attention to my appearance." He brushed back his hair, confidently saying, "Even in troubled tis, one must know the ways of the world, and not be disorderly."
"Tch." KIKI looked at him with disdain: "Then you, who keep setting your shirt on fire, might as well not wear one at all, what a waste of clothes."
Lin Xian, who was beside them, also felt there was so truth to her words.
"Or perhaps prepare a full coverage armor for you afterwards, which can boost your firepower and also keep you from going shirtless, avoiding random shots and bullets."
"Brother Lin has great insight!"
Lu Xingchen’s face lit up with eagerness at the suggestion: "It should be cool...uh, I an, custom-fitted so it won’t hinder the Power of Fire God. Brother Lin, you are the chanical God, this should be a piece of cake for you."
Lin Xian looked at him, eager to speak yet hesitating: "You just wait for it."
Lin Xian did indeed have plans for a custom-fitted, full coverage battle armor.
The so-called full coverage battle armor is different from the cha used in combat; the forr is a fully enclosed exoskeleton device, similar to Iron Man’s armor, while the latter is a war weapon, big and firepower heavy.
His initial plan was to scan the Iron Guard Brigade’s exoskeleton combat armor and then make so improvents or enhancents through the Research and Developnt Center.
Once it’s made, he could use it himself first, allowing him to fully utilize his talent in chanical Manufacturing in combat. Right now, his Wind Gun and Ice Wall seem sowhat insufficient.
By then, he could even tailor proper battle armor for everyone. For instance, despite KIKI’s powerful Superpower, the young lady’s abilities don’t seem to enhance her physical body much; she’s delicate, and the red mark he pressed on KIKI’s forehead with his finger still hasn’t faded...
However, given the pressing ti at Yu Bei Airport, he hadn’t scanned the exceedingly complex exoskeleton devices, which was sowhat regrettable, and he would have to find another plan.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
The Infinity sped along the high-speed rail, the sun shining down, but the intercom inside the train was sowhat silent.
Shu Qin’s fleet closely followed behind Infinity, not daring to be careless for a mont.
From Jiazhou City, the rail entered a complex area of mountains and old forests, with several highways gradually appearing alongside the rail.
Abandoned cars and so wandering Zombies also began to appear in their field of vision.
Perhaps because they had just experienced the frantic Zombie Crow swarm in Jiazhou Dead City, the sight of those howling Zombies didn’t frighten them; instead, everyone felt oddly familiar.
"Zombies have appeared, it looks like those Zombie Crows aren’t around here."
Inside the cockpit, Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan were seated opposite each other.
"Lin Xian, do you have a direction for what’s next?"
Lin Xian looked ahead at the lengthy Star Orbital, shaking his head: "Although I knew the world would eventually be engulfed by darkness, it wasn’t until Phoenix Society’s countdown I felt truly desperate, 1 year and 96 days... I wonder how the people of Iron Guard Brigade would feel if they knew that these survivors they’ve defended may not even live for a year."
"It’s not like that actually."
"Hmm?"
Chen Sixuan looked at him, saying gently, "When they chose to give up retreat, they stopped considering gain or loss; even if it’s just for us to live until tomorrow, it’s a victory."
"Because courage is never asured by distance, it can cross over ti, cross over dinsions."
"So why is it the 1 year and 96 days toward the extinction of mankind, and not the 1 year and 96 days as humanity prepares its counterattack?"
Lin Xian looked sowhat stunned, then smiled lightly: "You’re right, 1 year and 96 days are not ant for us to run away, there’s still much we can do."
The Infinity had erged from a range of great mountains, and by this ti, it was already over a hundred kiloters away from Jiazhou City.
"Pukou Station should be coming up soon."
Chen Sixuan said while observing the driving screen, but as she lifted her head, her expression suddenly changed: "Lin Xian, take a look quickly."
Lin Xian, who was taking a brief rest at the driver’s seat to recover his energy, hastily looked up upon hearing Chen Sixuan’s words, and imdiately saw the main track entering a small station platform, located in a valley, next to which a wide road was neatly lined with more than thirty vehicles from the Survivor Caravan.
However, from a distance, many of the vehicles had their doors open and their bodies and windows covered in bloodstains, yet there was not a single person in sight.
Lin Xian’s complexion instantly turned grave, as he was very familiar with these vehicles; they were from the Survivor Caravan that had previously joined them at the Airport in ascending the high sky corridor.
Squeak~
The train slowly ca to a stop at the station platform, and Shu Qin’s team also drove up behind. Shu Qin got off her vehicle, equally astonished: "Isn’t this the Fireline Fleet?"
"Do you know them?" Lin Xian and the others also descended from the train.
"Of course, we previously tead up with them at the Airport to hold off in Zone C." The young man from Shu Qin’s team nad Lv Chang said, frowning: "And it’s not just the Fireline Fleet..."
"Let’s take a look."
Lin Xian imdiately led the team to investigate and found that among the caravan there were two heavily modified trucks; the entire caravan was quite well-equipped.
Whoo whoo whoo~
The valley was filled with gusts of wind blowing through the open doors and driver’s cabins of the trucks, producing howling sounds. The entire caravan was orderly yet silent, and everyone checked each vehicle cautiously, confirming that indeed not a single person was to be found.
Shu Qin pulled out a clasp knife from her waist, scraped off a bit of the blood on the window of an off-road vehicle with the tip of her knife, and looking closely, frowned:
"They died last night, but there’s not a single body, and though there are signs of Zombie Crows scavenging, it’s not that severe; they probably did not die from Zombie Crows."
"That’s strange." KIKI ca over, looking around: "There must have been at least a hundred people here, how co there was no resistance at all, it’s as if..."
"Everyone was unresponsive." Lu Xingchen wore a detective’s mien: "Sothing strange must have happened here."
Sha Sha, hiding behind Chen Sixuan, looked at the neatly parked cars, feeling chilled: "Did they encounter so kind of terrifying monster?"
Chen Sixuan remained silent, her gaze turning towards Lin Xian.
"I don’t know either." Lin Xian looked at Shu Qin: "Are there other teams here?"
Shu Qin approached and nodded: "Here, three caravans rged together, all of which ca with us from the Airport. They must’ve also escaped from the Zombie Crow flocks in Jiazhou City, but not as badly as we did, so they must’ve encountered sothing else."
Lin Xian’s expression darkened: "These vehicles are almost all intact, even if there was a Fallen mutation inside, it wouldn’t look like this. Surely soone would’ve resisted, or driven away, but not a single vehicle here has been moved."
KIKI said, "That ans they were resting here at night, but sothing happened."
At this mont, Lin Xian heard so whispers, and turned his head to look. He saw a few n and won from Shu Qin’s team, and among them was a young man nad Zhou Yixuan.
"What are you talking about?"
These people all had a sowhat off complexion at the mont, pale-faced, with panicked looks, as if they were frightened by the scene.
"Qin... Sister Qin, isn’t this just like what the rumors said..."
"Zhou Yixuan, don’t talk nonsense!" Shu Qin appeared to know what he was about to say and sternly cut him off.
