Fortunately, both teams were old acquaintances, and Ning Jing was aware of Lin Xian’s skills, so there was no need to say much. She imdiately led Lin Xian towards the front of the train.
"Lin Xian, what do you think?" On the road, KIKI whispered to Lin Xian.
"If the problem here is easy to solve, and the weather doesn’t worsen before we set off, I’d like to go check it out," Lin Xian said frankly.
Whether it was Shi Deyuan or the Phoenix Society, Lin Xian felt it was necessary to lend a hand. However, he also understood that the situation in the Trakama Ice Valley was bound to be perilous and complex. Shi Deyuan, driving a train equipped with heavy weaponry, hadn’t returned, and with him only traveling light, even with a formidable superpower user like KIKI, they might be of little use under harsh weather conditions.
So Lin Xian was sowhat conflicted. KIKI understood Lin Xian’s thoughts and said, "She just ntioned sending a vanguard, which ans they must have small all-terrain vehicles, and they definitely want to find Shi Deyuan too. I think we could cooperate and send a small team to check out that ice valley. If we do encounter any danger, we can still retreat. It’s dayti now, and if we travel light, relying on our mobility should allow us to escape without issue."
Lin Xian turned back to KIKI and whispered, "Are you particularly curious about that giant cha?"
KIKI crossed her arms. "You’re a chanical superpower user. Things like that are practically nuclear weapons for you. Aren’t you curious?"
Lin Xian remained silent, indifferent. Of course, he was interested, but Lin Xian’s personality favored a pragmatic approach. Now that the Infinity was trapped, the urgent task was to resolve the current predicant. A blizzard could strike at any mont; if they couldn’t even secure the Infinity, any other ideas would be re fantasies.
But since it involved the Phoenix Society and old friend Shi Deyuan, Lin Xian felt that if the fundantal issues could be resolved, it was worth taking the risk.
...
One very awkward problem with the train being so long was that walking from the rear carriage to the front carriage covered quite a distance. The Infinity currently had 14 carriages, and running from the front to the back took at least one or two minutes if moving quickly.
On the Dragon Mountain No.1, not only was the train long, but the interior was also quite crowded. Although it was clear that central corridors had been specially managed for easier maneuvering, walking quickly could still take seven or eight minutes.
As they walked, Lin Xian, KIKI, and Shu Qin witnessed various internal facilities. They saw sleeper carriages resembling honeycombs, a double-decker carriage housing over 80 people, and carriages for materials and weapons, as well as dical stations, radio broadcast centers, armories, entertainnt carriages, and a dedicated manufacturing carriage equipped with industrial lathes, intelligent reloading presses for bullets, and various 3D chanical printers for manufacturing basic chanical items.
Further ahead, there were special carriages used as eting and classroom spaces, a psychology counseling carriage with custom interior decor, and even an internal supermarket where passengers could trade stored items for urgently needed supplies.
Lin Xian marveled in silence. He had to admit, this train had beco like a small society.
Passing by the living carriage at the front, many curious passengers peered out from their berths, whispering as they observed the three strangers passing through the corridor below.
"New mbers again?"
"Isn’t that the boss of the Infinity? I saw him at the airport."
"Infinity? Did we really run into them again..."
"What are they here for?"
"No idea..."
The closer they got to the front, the warr it beca in the carriages. Besides the heating system, this was due to the concentration of many people. Ning Jing had concentrated all firepower to compensate for the difficulty in receiving head-to-tail support while being trapped on the snowfield.
If they were moving, this wouldn’t require concentration, but being stranded, with Shi Deyuan taking away a portion of the combat power and a heavy weaponry station, protecting over a thousand people beca a heavy burden for Ning Jing.
Ning Jing and Lu Yong led Lin Xian and his group to the front train. Besides an intercontinental-level nuclear-powered carriage, the Dragon Mountain No.1 had two electric traction carriages, similar to Lin Xian’s forr Ring Star 7F electric locomotive. Due to their high energy consumption, the train’s comprehensive electrical system needed precise energy allocation for each carriage’s needs.
To ensure sufficient energy, Shi Deyuan drove off one small nuclear-powered carriage, one electric traction locomotive, and three weapon stations, taking over 60 people to the Trakama Ice Valley.
If not for unexpected incidents, the remaining power sources and traction locomotives would have been more than sufficient to drive the Dragon Mountain No.1’s over 60 carriages to Xilan City.
"Here it is."
Ning Jing led Lin Xian into a large electrical locomotive’s interior. Up ahead was the largest intercontinental-level nuclear-powered locomotive, also the head of Dragon Mountain No.1, equipped with a large armored shield, much like the Infinity, primarily used to break through hordes or obstacles, and served as an ice-breaking shield in snowy weather.
Shi Deyuan only modified the No.2 Power Core with a Triangle Track strong magnetization all-terrain driving module, but made no changes to the No.1 intercontinental power unit. This left Lin Xian puzzled, unsure of his intentions.
"Let have a look first. I hope the problem isn’t too big."
