On the Infinity, Lin Xian responded to Ning Jing’s words, "22 kiloters of track laying, even at the simplest standard, is not a small project."
"That’s right," Ning Jing pondered, "My engineering team has already reviewed the drone’s reconnaissance images. There are multiple collapses, waterlogging, and countless blockages. The main issues are twofold: track materials and ti and safety concerns."
"So many Doomsday Trains, surely everyone has so ergency preparedness in terms of tracks, right?" Shu Qin said at this ti.
"We’ve just tallied it up," Ning Jing replied. "Everyone’s only prepared for ergencies, a few hundred ters at most. In total, we can only manage about three to four kiloters, and of course, there’s a thod of dismantling the rear tracks to augnt the front. But that way, ti is..."
In carriage No.2, everyone turned to look at Lin Xian.
"Our train’s ergency tracks are only 300 ters," said Da Lou, "That’s far from enough."
"Lin Xian, over 20 kiloters, even if you want to fabricate it, it would take quite so effort, right?" KIKI turned her chair and looked at Lin Xian.
Lin Xian shook his head upon hearing this, "Rail fabrication is simple, it won’t take much work. We have so many Superpower Users here, clearing obstacles, Dragon Mountain No.1 has a track-laying machine, resolving it is not complicated. The only issue for is... the materials."
Previously, while repairing the No.1 Machine, the decomposition space material was completely depleted. At this mont, the decomposition space only contained 30g of iron from devouring a small clock just now...
"But if we mobilize all the trains for track laying, the commotion would be considerable. In the current situation, it’s unknown what might happen." Chen Sixuan remarked, "22 kiloters, is it feasible to directly tow them using Dragon Mountain No.1’s all-terrain vehicle for us?"
"Towing a 15-kiloter long train group?" KIKI sighed at the sky, "Even if they wear down the tracks of Dragon Mountain No.1, it won’t move. And once off the tracks, getting back on isn’t easy~"
"She’s right."
Lin Xian said at this ti, "The best way is still to connect the tracks."
He contemplated for a mont, "Let’s form a small team, go into the city to gather so materials, then use the other trains’ ergency track reserves, directly feed them to Dragon Mountain No.1’s track-laying machine. That way, efficiency should be the highest."
"Seems like that’s the only option." KIKI turned her chair around, giving Lin Xian a sowhat teasing look, "It’s going to be tough for our savior again."
Her eyes held traces of imperceptible concern, but it was well concealed, her acting skills were excellent.
Upon hearing this, Chen Sixuan also looked at Lin Xian helplessly, "The situation inside the city seems off, and the air..."
Lin Xian turned to KIKI upon hearing this, "Let’s go down first and check the situation."
"Alright," KIKI nodded.
Then Lin Xian discussed the plan with Ning Jing and others briefly, took KIKI along, and had her deploy a Telekinesis Shield to isolate the outside air in preparation for disembarking. To be cautious, he also sealed the compartnt alone, leaving only the two to open the door independently.
"Everyone, attention, I’m going off the train first to check. All teams maintain radio silence, await further instructions."
"Understood, Captain Lin."
Voices from the dozen or so team captains behind were conveyed at this mont. There was no doubt about the young train captain, with everyone taking Infinity’s lead. After all, this captain of Infinity was the key figure in resolving the Xilan City crisis, and even Luo Yang from the Sunshine Team was a loyal follower of Lin Xian.
Whoosh~
Carriage No.1’s hatch opened, KIKI deployed the Telekinesis Shield to isolate the outside air, and imdiately the two floated out of Infinity.
Outside the carriage, the air was extrely cold. Everywhere was full of glowing fungal clusters, appearing particularly unique in the night, on the ground, walls, vehicles, people...
"If these things didn’t grow on people, they’d look quite nice," KIKI couldn’t help but say as she looked at the swathes of microglow.
"Things growing in Extre Night, I’m not in the mood to admire the scenery," Lin Xian asked her, "How’s it?"
"Doesn’t feel anything special." Regaining her spirit, KIKI reached out and grabbed a glowing mushroom from the ground. With a light squeeze, swoosh~ the mushroom instantly exploded, then sprayed a puff of brownish-yellow powder, diffusing everywhere.
KIKI quickly used telekinesis to fan it afar.
"Fungal spores?"
Lin Xian’s gaze scanned over the patch of human fungi: "Looks like this fungus should be able to parasitize humans too."
"Could it be another parasite, pseudoman?" KIKI looked repulsed, "That’d be too disgusting."
After saying that, she extended her telekinesis towards the nearest human fungus to her, which seed to be a tall male, wearing a thick jacket. But it had completely changed color under the fungal wraps. KIKI’s ability grabbed it, and the mushrooms and fungal vines on the human fungus began peeling away from it... together with dried clothes and... skin and bones.
Crack crack crack, an extrely bizarre sound echoed. KIKI grew increasingly nauseated as she pulled, her brows furrowing deeply.
At this mont, she felt as if she accidentally peeled off the crispy skin of fried chicken, looking at the moist, decayed viscera beneath the human fungus’ skin, she imdiately felt a wave of disgust.
Ugh~
KIKI dry heaved. At this mont, she didn’t notice that while she was ’peeling’, the human fungus’s eyes were frantically rotating, seemingly in extre pain.
Lin Xian watched this scene also frowning. This fungi seed to turn people into so sort of plant, not even knowing what form this thing precisely was. If one were accidentally parasitized by this thing, wouldn’t it be ga over?
